Speaker 1: It's a latter.

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: It's not the side on the dog in the fight.

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,200

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: This is the Week seven college football betting preview. I'm

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 4: stucky with me as always? Is Colin Wilson Ready to

24
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 4: get into it?

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: Buddy, Ah I thought this would be an easy week

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: in handicapping, considering like the big primetime games have all

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: kind of fallen off the table and we got these

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: monster spreads, but the board is sharp. Finding some value

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 2: this week was a little tough.

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: Excited to dig in with you. It brought my shovel.

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: Let's uh, we got a lot of games to get to.

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: Hopefully we can get to like twenty five thirty games here.

33
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: All right, let's start where we always start, with.

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: Our first segment, look ahead, look.

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: Away, hangovers, sleepers, and the dreaded sandwich spot. Is it

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: time to look ahead or look away?

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: This is where we take a look at next week's card,

38
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: and for this week, we'll also look back at last

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: week and talk about a couple of hangover spots. We

40
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: try to identify. Okay, our team's gonna come out a

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: little flat or are they gonna get caught looking ahead?

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: Do they maybe not want to show much? Take out

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: their starters a little sooner? Go vanilla, YadA, YadA, YadA.

44
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: So let's start with the two potential look ahead spots

45
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: on the card. We'll start with Pitt at wind bet

46
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 4: Hit is a four and a half point favorite at

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Virginia Tech over under fifty seven. I was taking a

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: look into some advanced met here, and the reason that

49
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: Pitt falls into here is that they have Clemson on deck.

50
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: I don't even do teams even look ahead to Clemson anymore.

51
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: I don't know, but you know, I was looking at

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: the metric because you could argue that.

53
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Pitt is the best team in the ACC based on

54
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: body of work this year. I don't know that's like,

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's saying much being the best

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: team in the ACC this year, but they've been pretty impressive.

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: You know, a win at Tennessee now looks better and

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: better with each passing week. Virginia Tech disappointing loss against

59
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: Notre Dame in a game that they had in their

60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: grasp or Meister got hurt in the second half. They

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: also lost their backup quarterback for the year to injury.

62
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: My problem here with Virginia Tech and looking to fade Pitt.

63
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: The way to.

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Beat Pitt and their aggressive defense this year seems to

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: be explosive plays on the outside. I mean, they always

66
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: are going to play you know, man island meant they're

67
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: gonna leave their corners on islands and play an aggressive

68
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: style of defense. I'm not sure Virginia Tech has the

69
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: horses to take advantage. What do you see here pit

70
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: at Virginia Tech.

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, there's a really strong disagreement between a lot of

72
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: power ratings, a lot of respective power ratings out there,

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: and it's really how much do you value strength of schedule? Right?

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: If you look at pitt they've got you know, U Mass,

75
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Western Michigan, New Hampshire, Georgia Tech.

76
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: Sorry, U Mass is on a one game winning.

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: Streak and they're on a whole bit bunch of covering streaks,

78
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: so that's always good for us. But I mean you

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: have to take that into account when you say things

80
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: like this team is first in the nation and offensive

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: finishing drives and their sixth in passing success, right, I mean,

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: come on, New Hampshire, U Mass. I mean you can't

83
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: say that with a straight face. And I feel like

84
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: we need like a carnival sound every time we talk

85
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: about trying to predict the ACC, because it's just up

86
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: and down every week. The ACC back on their bullsh

87
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: But Virginia Tech's already had two tight losses against Notre

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: Dame in West Virginia. They beat North Carolina in the openers.

89
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: So there's certainly plenty more respect that I have in

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: the numbers as far as what Virginia Tech has than

91
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: what Pitt has. Hokies are top fifteen defensively in passing

92
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: success rate, the thirtieth and finishing drives. They should have

93
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: beat that. They should have won that game against Notre

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 2: Dame in my opinion. But you know, the biggest difference

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: between those two defenses is tackling. That twenty third. That

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: rank of twenty third by Virginia Tech is legit. They've

97
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: played a legit schedule pit against that schedule of New

98
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: Hampshire and Western Michigan and UMass. There are one hundred

99
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: and sixteenth in tackling. I mean, Virginia Tech has been

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: atrocious on offense, especially running the ball. Hokies are bottom

101
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: ten and stuff rushing attempts. So I don't have a

102
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: whole bunch of love here. But Virginia Tech has decided

103
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: there's just a type of war going on in this

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: neutral number. Because you know, there is an sp plus

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: rating that says this should be eight. There is a

106
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: saggerin rating that says this should be three. There's action

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: network says this should be four and a half. So

108
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, there is a very wide variety

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: all around the seven year. I'm not sure where it's

110
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: going to go, but in my opinion, Virginia Tech at

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: least has a more proven resume. I can't sit here

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: and believe any of the numbers I see in pitt

113
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: And I know you mentioned Tennessee, but that was Joe Milton, right,

114
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: That wasn't our beloved tended hooker Tennessee. So for me,

115
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: Virginia Texas side. But I'd rather see it move off

116
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: of dead number.

117
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is ultimately a pass for me.

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on to our second and only

119
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 3: other look ahead spot before we get into a couple

120
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: potential hangovers. Wasn't a big week for lookheads if you

121
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 3: look at next week slate, but one that did fit

122
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: the bill. UCLA is a one point underdog at winning

123
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: bet over under fifty five and a half traveling to Washington.

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: They have Oregon on deck.

125
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: Good situational spot here for Washington coming off of a bye,

126
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 5: you know, catching UCLA off of the game at Arizona

127
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: that I believe was tied at the half and the

128
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 5: heat down there, you know, now they travel to Washington

129
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 5: with a.

130
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: Date with the Ducks on deck. Washington getting a little

131
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: healthier at receiver. You know, the first game of the year,

132
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: all three of their starting receivers are out. They should

133
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: all be back here. One of their best defenders, zts Zion,

134
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: he's should. I don't know if he's going to be

135
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: back or how much is going to play, but he's

136
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: been practicing and cleared. He was projected to be one

137
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: of their best defenders this year. UCLA does a lot

138
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: of things well and a lot of things poorly. If

139
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: you look at their resume so far and statistical profile,

140
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: leaning the Huskies here and it scares me trying to

141
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: back that offense. But it should look a lot after

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: I feel like they would have figured some things out.
