However, San 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Diego State is about to leave the Mountain West and 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: join the PAC twelve. 28 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: So Hawaii no longer. 29 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: Is going to be on the schedule, So all good 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: things must come to an end. 31 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 4: Gentleman, at least you're there this year, you know, like, 32 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 4: at least you're there this year.

I 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: do their radio radio analyst work, and when the team travels, 38 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: I travel, and so they go to Hawaii. I go 39 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: to Hawaii. And to answer your question, Jared, I think 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: this is the fourth time I've been on the islands 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: with the Aztec's. I've been out here many times. Other 42 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: than that, we have some family out here we're gonna 43 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: be visiting. So the whole crew, the whole Ornberger gang, 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: came out to Hawaii. So I'm on a rooftop parking 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: lot overlooking the beach, which is insane. I'm like looking 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: at the roof of a church over the top of 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: that to the water. Right now, it's pitch dark. It's 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: some part of four o'clock in the morning. The Pacific 49 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: Ocean is lapping against the sands of Ykiki Beach, and 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: here I am shouting into the void at you guys 51 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: from a million miles away. But we're we're look football 52 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: waits for nobody, and so we're gonna get into it. 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 4: By the way, I don't want to be selfish here rich, 54 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 4: but I do think San Diego State owes it. It's 55 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 4: success to me this season. 56 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: I would argue, you're right, you would you doubted them 57 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: when they played. 58 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 4: Col My gosh, dude, like so they got wrecked by 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 4: the Koog's right, they lost convincingly to Washington State and 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: they were one and one at that point in the season. 61 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I'll lay the whatever. It was two 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 4: touchdowns with Cal at home and somehow, well, San Diego 63 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 4: State was at home. Somehow Cal gets shut out thirty 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 4: four to nothing, and San Diego State hasn't looked back. 65 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: Do they lost the games? 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: Can I be honest? 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 5: They have an outside shot to make the Collegewell Playoff, 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 5: they really do, especially have to Memphis losing last night. 69 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: There's a growing awareness James Madison has to play Washington State. 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: They've been good. But yeah, if you remember the rules 71 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: for the new expanded playoffs, the group of five, which 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: is any basically any conference outside of the Power four, 73 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: and you say group of five, it may include the 74 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: PAC twelve, although I think Washington State and Oregon State, 75 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: who are the only two remaining members technically of the 76 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: PAC twelve right now, they would have to win in 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: as an at large bit if they could. But anyways, 78 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: going back to what I was saying, if you are 79 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: the conference champion of any of the group of five conferences, 80 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: and you're the highest ranked champion, you have an automatic 81 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: bid into the College Football Playoff. And San Diego State 82 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: sitting right now at seven and one, potentially winning this conference, 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: they do have a shot to be the representative out 84 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: of the Group five to get that automatic bid. 85 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 4: It's crazy, man, and hats off to them. Number two 86 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: scoring defense in the country like Ohio State's number one, 87 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: the Aztecs are number two, so hey, hats off to them. 88 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 4: They only allow ten points per game. It's funny, right 89 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 4: if you think big picture, if you go back to 90 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, like any season, there are 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 4: so many times where you circle back and you're like, 92 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 4: why did I think that? Why did I exactly? Why 93 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 4: was I convinced the Aztecs suck? Why was I convinced 94 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: I don't know if I was, but why was I like, Oh, 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: Florida State, here we go. It's like, no, not not really. 96 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: You know, like LS you remember LSU, big win on 97 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: the road. We thought against Clemson, We're like, whoa, look 98 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: out here we go. 99 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 6: B k T. 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and here they are. Yeah right, top ten. Well 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 4: that's a good segue, Jared, I'm glad you mentioned that. Yeah, 102 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 4: very nice. So College Football Playoff Rankings first edition. They 103 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: came out this week on Tuesday, and of course there's 104 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: sometimes mass panic in the streets, you know how it goes. 105 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 4: Any any big problems, any big agreements, anything that you 106 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: take away from the first iteration of the playoff rankings 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 4: where you said, yes, job well done, or what in 108 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 4: the world are you thinking with this ranking over here? 109 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: Anything that you said like that? 110 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 2: Let me think. 111 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: You know, What's what's interesting about the CFP is I'm 112 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: always amazed by my reaction to it before we get 113 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: into like where the seating actually is and who deserves 114 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: to be as high as they are and as low 115 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: as they are. What always occurs to me is how 116 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: much I care about this list because because you shouldn't. 117 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 7: The first one, or just in general, the committee doing it. 118 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: Obviously, at some point you have to care. 119 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: If you're if you're interested in college football at all, 120 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: you do care about the list, and it becomes more 121 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: and more important the closer you get down the stretch. 122 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: But I mean, at this point in the season, their 123 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: initial list makes no difference to what the outcomes of 124 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: the season is going to be. Yeah, I mean we can, 125 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: we can act like it's super important, and we will 126 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: when it becomes super important. But this initial list, if 127 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: you have some real belly aching over it, don't worry. 128 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: It's gonna change a lot before the end of the season. 129 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Now, there are certain things that are kind of feel 130 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: like they're etched in stone, like Ohio State. I mean, 131 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: unless something goes horribly horribly wrong, I think they can 132 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: you can say they're safely in first place for the 133 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: remainder of the season. You know, Georgia feels safe as 134 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: a top five team. Alabama feels safe as a top 135 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: five team. There are certain teams that you can say, yeah, 136 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: these are areas where these are landing spots where you 137 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: think they probably will land. And then as we creep 138 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: closer and closer to the actual playoff seating matters a 139 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: great deal because that's how the playoff field will work out. 140 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: Who's playing who in the first round, et cetera. But 141 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: this initial list, I mean, am I completely off base here? 142 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: I always have this reaction like, oh, why is that 143 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: team so low? Or geez, they're way too high. And 144 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 1: then in the end it doesn't really matter in terms 145 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: of what the end of the season is gonna look like. 146 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: This is just this is just a throw spaghetti at 147 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: the wall. Will see what sticks toward the end of the. 148 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 7: Year, agreed. 149 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 5: And that's why anyone who is up in arms over 150 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 5: this just just chill bro let the season play out. 151 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 5: I think it's very hard, and I do this every week. 152 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 5: I've been doing this since the start of the season. 153 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 5: I could give you my college football playoff predictions from 154 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 5: literally week one on. I had no idea what I 155 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 5: was doing. I was just throwing darts against the wall. 156 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 5: Now we're gonna get the things that need to be 157 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 5: sorted will get sorted. For example, people are upset that 158 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 5: Notre Dames ahead of Texas and Oklahoma, right, don't worry 159 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 5: both of those Both Texas and Oklahoma will get to 160 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 5: prove it. They both will get to prove it right. 161 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 5: Oklahoma has played Bama. Next week, Texas goes to Georgia 162 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 5: and then plays A and M. We'll find out how 163 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: good those teams are. Don't worry about where they're ranked now. 164 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 5: I think what the committee told us yesterday or Tuesday 165 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 5: was right. 166 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 7: Now. 167 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: Notre Dame's better, their resume is better, their quality. 168 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 7: Loss is better, but it could change. 169 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: And I think anyone who is upset over the rankings 170 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 5: as they are constructed today take a piece of advice. 171 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 7: From Aaron Rodgers. Relax. It will get sorted out now. 172 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 5: When we get to the end of November and then 173 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 5: you still have a gripe and all the games are done, 174 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 5: then we can really dig into Okay, this resume is 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 5: better than this resume, and we could do the micro 176 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 5: surgery that we need to do in order to figure 177 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 5: out who's better. 178 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 7: But right now, it's. 179 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 5: Not even Thanksgiving, and the teams that people are upset 180 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 5: about not being ahead of Notre Dame will have a 181 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 5: very ample opportunity to make that jump, but right now 182 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 5: they're not. Right now, it appears that Notre Dame's probably 183 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 5: gonna finish ten and two, Texas and Oklahoma are gonna 184 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 5: probably finish nine and three at best in that world. Yes, 185 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 5: Notre Dame deserves to get in period. 186 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 7: End of story. 187 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 5: I Brian, I thought the fact that Notre Dame was 188 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 5: the highest two rand team was important to me because 189 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 5: I do think Texas O Oklahoma are going to have 190 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 5: to upset the apple cart in order to get in 191 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 5: front of them. 192 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 7: But it could happen. Stranger things have so happened. 193 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 4: It's funny you mentioned Aaron Rodgers in his famous relax 194 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 4: it could apply to his brother, His brother Jordan Rodgers. 195 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 4: He's on ESPN and he was pretty fired up about 196 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: the Irish being ranked higher than Texas and Oklahoma. 197 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 8: Notre Dame has one top twenty five win, Texas has two, 198 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 8: Oklahoma has two. Right, their losses I think are even 199 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 8: better for Texas and Oklahoma. So I think this one 200 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 8: again was just like that made no sense putting you 201 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 8: rank them fine, Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame. 202 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 3: It'll all short itself out. 203 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 8: But that showed you that they're looking at the wrong things, 204 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 8: not valuing wins on the field as much. 205 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: As they were in this area of oh the eye test. 206 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 8: But they look so much better right now. 207 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 4: Well, he mentioned in passing right there while bashing the Irish. 208 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 4: I mean, heaven forbid, what is he. 209 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: Doing right there? 210 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 7: But I just disagree with his argument. 211 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 4: His arguments bad where he said even their losses like 212 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: Texas and Oklahoma have better larest than Notre Dame. 213 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 9: Texas lost to the Gators, Like what is he talking about? Like, Okay, 214 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 9: let's do a side by side thing if we're just 215 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 9: focusing on the better losses, which sounds weird, but it's 216 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 9: a thing for the committee, right. 217 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 7: Is a thing? No, honestly, I think it's more of 218 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 7: a thing than the quality wins. Brian, It's weird, but. 219 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 4: It's very weird. So Texas they lost to Ohio State 220 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: to begin the season, Notre Dame. One of their losses 221 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 4: was against Texas A and M. Both of those teams 222 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 4: are in the top three. There are some people that 223 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 4: thought Texas A and M might be higher ranked than 224 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: Ohio State. That's an Indiana, right, There's some people that 225 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 4: thought that anyway, they're in the same cul de sac 226 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: if you will, right then, like we said, there's Miami, 227 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: the Miami loss that Notre Dame had. Miami is still 228 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 4: in the top twenty five. They're eighteenth. Some people think 229 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 4: it's a little bit low, but they're still ranked. Meanwhile, 230 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 4: Texas lost to Florida. How in your right mind can 231 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: you say Texas had two better losses than Notre Dame. 232 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 4: That's not even close to being accurate. 233 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty amazing. How when you put things through 234 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: the lens of opinion, right, so subjectivity, anybody can make 235 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: any argument. You don't have to worry about making sense. 236 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: You can just make an argument. And so if you 237 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: look at a team and you say, hey, I think 238 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: this team is ranked higher than this team, and then 239 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: you answer the question why with well, because they're a 240 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: better team, Well that argument doesn't hold water because you 241 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: have to have facts. You have to have basis of evidence. 242 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: You need to present a case. If you just think 243 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: they're better, well that's that's fine and good. But those 244 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: players bled for that, those wins and those losses. Those 245 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: players sweat and they go through toil. Those coaches worked hard, 246 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: there were sleepless nights, like you have to have some 247 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: better reason. Well I just like Texas better, you know, 248 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: I just think Notre Dame's better. Well, you have to 249 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: have some some level of proof. But there are certain Look, 250 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of people who want to, you know, 251 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: be very open about their opinion, and everybody's entitled to 252 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: have their opinion, and I'm willing to hear any opinion. 253 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: But if you don't attack this thing factually, if you're 254 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: just going to make an argument for a team because 255 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: you like them better, you're not going to get a 256 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: lot of people to listen to you these days, because 257 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: there's too much evidence for teams. And I don't want 258 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: to say who actually deserve it, but in some cases, 259 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: who do actually deserve to be in the college football 260 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: playoff conversation who either aren't or are going to have 261 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: to wait until you know, the rest of the nation's 262 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, subjective voices catch up and join in on 263 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: the facts as opposed to just being just arguing a 264 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: brand or arguing a style of football. They'd rather seeing 265 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: the college football playoff rather than you know, one that 266 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: is currently being represented. 267 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 2: So it's it's. 268 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: An interesting thing, especially early in this debate. I think 269 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: some of the conversations, some of the arguments become critz 270 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: still lies later on, But right now, all that's in 271 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: its infancy because we have miles to go before the 272 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: playoff bracket is even set. 273 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, we just need to wait until Oklahoma loses Tobama 274 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 5: and Texas loses to Georgia and it'll all sort itself out, 275 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 5: right like and and I've struggled with this too. My 276 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 5: exercise that I've done this year, I have not constructed 277 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 5: my rankings based off of the current form. I have 278 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 5: constructed my rankings every week based on how I project 279 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 5: the season to finish. So it's an exercise I'm trying 280 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 5: to spin things forward. I don't think that's what the 281 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 5: committee's doing here, but maybe a little bit, maybe they say, 282 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 5: you know what, prove it, Texas, go on the road 283 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 5: and be Georgia, and when you do that, will we'll 284 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 5: move you up. And maybe they're giving sarkis In and 285 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 5: company a little motivation here, right, a little bulletin board material. 286 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 5: But also maybe they're just going through the mental exercise 287 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: like I've been doing for the lif last ten weeks, 288 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 5: realizing that whatever I'm constructing today is going to work 289 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 5: itself out over the next three weeks in the SEC. 290 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 5: So it doesn't matter what my rankings are today. The 291 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 5: only thing that matters is who am I giving the 292 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 5: respect to? Is the highest two loss team right now? 293 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 5: It's Notre Dame. Maybe that changes in a week. 294 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 7: That will always be what. 295 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 5: I look at as the determining factor for who the 296 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 5: committee feels is the best at large team. Who is 297 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 5: the highest ranked two loss That should be your number 298 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 5: one like microscope, pull out the microscope, Sherlock Holmes. Who 299 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 5: is the committee putting as the number one two loss 300 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 5: team every week? That should be your benchmark for Okay, 301 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 5: this is how they view the resumes because I think 302 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 5: the top five is pretty easy, like even the top 303 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 5: seven guys think it's I think it's pretty cut and 304 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 5: dry right now, Like we know who top the top 305 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 5: five teams of the country. I've said there's four the 306 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 5: whole year. I've said it's Ohio State, Indiana, BAM, and Georgia. 307 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 5: I think the national champion will be one of those 308 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 5: four teams. You give me those four, you can. 309 00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 7: Take the field. 310 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: I feel like I've got the national champion in my 311 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 5: back pock up. 312 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 7: You want to say A and M. 313 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 5: Is an upstart this year, perhaps, I think in the 314 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 5: big moment, I'm not. I don't know if I fully 315 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 5: trust that quarterback. 316 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 7: We'll see. 317 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but I have a really solid 318 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 5: top four the rest of it is all kind of chaos, 319 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 5: and I hope it all kind of settles itself out 320 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: over the next few weeks. 321 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 4: Well, I'll just say real quick, and I think that 322 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 4: it's interesting where if you go back to last year, 323 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 4: the two teams in the National Championship, Ohio State and 324 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: Notre Dame, neither one of them had a first round by. 325 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: So imagine if both teams in the championship game had 326 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 4: a first round by, I think this would be looked 327 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 4: at a lot differently. Or take a team like Oregon. 328 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: Right Oregon is ninth in the pecking order at seven 329 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: and one, so they're gonna have to leap frog a 330 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 4: number of teams to be in that top four to 331 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: earn a bye. 332 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: You know. 333 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 4: Like that part of it I think is significant, although 334 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 4: you're not really hearing that much emphasis on it, right, 335 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 4: Imagine if we have the next let's just I don't 336 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 4: know this next three straight years both teams in the 337 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 4: championship Game earn a first round by, there's gonna be 338 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 4: even more of like, hey, look at the top four 339 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 4: as its fans right now, and then maybe like through 340 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 4: six or seven, maybe have a shot at the first 341 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 4: round by realistically, right. But that's one of the things 342 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 4: I think is I still think a first round by matters, 343 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 4: especially depending on which specific teams we're talking about here. 344 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 4: And remember it's not the goofy rules that it was 345 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 4: last year, where you know. 346 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 7: Now that the. 347 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 4: Yeah it's s's gonna play a real twelve, right, it's 348 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 4: the top four, right, top four get those buyes as 349 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 4: it should be. And so yeah, I think those byes 350 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 4: are significant. And you know, maybe it'll take a couple 351 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 4: of years where the teams that earn buys go deep 352 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 4: and make it to the championship game, you know, a 353 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 4: couple of them, and then I think you'll see a 354 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: lot more focus on that. But right now, I don't 355 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 4: think it's right there. I think it's significant. I just 356 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 4: think we're overlooking it. 357 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 5: Addiction, right here, a bye team goes to the championship 358 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 5: this year, I'll. 359 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 4: There's got to be at least it might be. 360 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 5: Minus a thousand odds on that one. 361 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 7: And Georgia Bama in the mix. 362 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 4: Come on here, so much going, I would imagine.

Huh 409 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 4: even money this morning. It's down to a six point 410 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: Oregon road favorite. Here was six and a half last night. 411 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 4: The hook is gone. No, you can't find the hook. 412 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 4: The hook is nowhere to be found. That point five 413 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 4: is gone as of now. So, man, the Hawkeyes getting 414 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 4: some love here. The weather, you know, you would imagine 415 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 4: in the Hawkeyes favor We're looking at ninety chance of rain, 416 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 4: maybe the temperature drops, maybe the little snow flurries here today, right, 417 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 4: So I think that might be in the minds of 418 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 4: a lot of people. You think about Oregon against Wisconsin. 419 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 4: Remember it was a monsoon in just an ugly game, 420 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 4: and maybe that's stuck with some people there. This is 421 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 4: more like Iowa weather, at least you associate it with them. 422 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 4: It rains quite a bit in the state of Oregon 423 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 4: as well, but Oregon didn't fare as well in the 424 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 4: weather in the elements against Wisconsin. So maybe that twenty 425 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 4: one to seven win is definitely in the forefront of 426 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 4: a lot of better's minds here this morning. What do 427 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 4: you guys think about this matchup? 428 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I understand it. I definitely understand the 429 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: fact that people are on the Hawkeyes. 430 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: But maybe not to the level I would. 431 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: I would feel a lot more comfortable to be on 432 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: Iowa if Oregon was favored by more than seven. You know, 433 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: it's just one of those dangerous spots to be in. 434 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: But going back to how I think this game is 435 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: gonna bear out, Look, do I think Oregon's a better 436 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: team than then what they showed against Wisconsin will certainly. 437 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: I think that was a sluggish game. I think the 438 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: bye week was just what the doctor ordered, And I 439 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: think facing Iowa after a bye is probably a good 440 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: thing because you're in for a slog every time you 441 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: play against this team, and specifically against an Iowa team 442 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: that I think does some really good things. You know, defensively, 443 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: they sit in a lot of cover two, which Oregans 444 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: quarterback UCLA transfer Dante Moore really struggles with when he's 445 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: throwing the football today, I expect a lot of those 446 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: players actually to start closer to the line of scrimmage 447 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: or behind the line of scrimmage in their bubble screen 448 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: game or you know, their RPO game, because I think 449 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: what they're going to try to do against Iowa is 450 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: really open up the run game, throw when they have to, 451 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: and force Iowa to tackle their athletes and offensively against 452 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: Iowa's defense, I think Oregon has better athletes and Iowa 453 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: isn't a great tackling. 454 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: Team this year, which sounds weird because. 455 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: Kirk Farrens normally has a lot of the little things, 456 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: you know that those loose ends tied up pretty nicely. 457 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: But the Hawkkeys really struggle bringing down ball carriers this year. 458 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: So I think expect to see Oregon just sort of 459 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: fighting the death by a thousand paper cuts thing where. 460 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: They're gonna, you know, they're gonna have a two. 461 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: Yard game, then a four yard game, then a two 462 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: yard game, and then they're gonna try to have an 463 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: explosive run or short pass play where they break one 464 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: tackle and either their tight end or their receiver or 465 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: their running back gets loose for about fifteen to twenty 466 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: yards and they get a nice chunk out of their 467 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: offense against the Iowa defense. 468 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was surprising to see Iowa outside the top 469 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 5: fifty in the Pro Football focused tackling grades. That's again 470 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 5: the PFF stuff and the miss tackles. I think could 471 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 5: be a lot little bit subjective sometimes, but in theory, 472 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 5: I like this Iowa scheme. 473 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 7: I think Parker is a good coach. The DC. I 474 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 7: think they're good in run fits. 475 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 5: They're just yeah, maybe they're just not as buttoned up, 476 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 5: not as physical at the line of scrimmages they've been 477 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 5: in prior years. Here's why the lines moved this morning, guys. 478 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 5: There is some rumors, some rumblings that the Korean Moore 479 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 5: is gonna miss this game. The Star wide receiver for Oregon. 480 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 5: We don't know exactly when he popped up with this injury, 481 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 5: but it looks like a knee injury. 482 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 7: Doesn't appear serious. Again, these are rumors from. 483 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 5: The Oregon message boards. We'll get the official injury report 484 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 5: coming at ten thirty Eastern right two hours for the 485 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 5: gamer and it's maybe ninety minutes for the game. So 486 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 5: game starts twelve thirty, so we'll get it or twelve 487 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 5: thirty Pacific, excuse me, So we'll get that injury report 488 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 5: between ten and eleven Pacific time. Am I was on 489 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 5: Iowa before that, Obviously I like Iowa more now. I 490 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 5: think what Rich mentioned is really impactful here. The zone 491 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 5: defense that Indiana plays or that Indiana plays that also, 492 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 5: Iowa plays That was hands down, Dante. 493 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 7: Moore's worst game of the year wasn't even close. 494 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 5: His ability to see the field and fine windows was 495 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 5: impacted in that game, and that was at home. Now 496 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 5: he's on the road in bad weather, so I think 497 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 5: that's a factor. The Oregon run game is a factor too. 498 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 5: I really like this Oregon run game, Like that's that's 499 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 5: the recipe for Oregon here right, You're gonna be without 500 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 5: likely to Corean Moore, but you have three elite backs 501 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 5: and a really good offensive line, so you're gonna have 502 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 5: to lean on those guys. 503 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 7: Whittington you've probably heard that name. 504 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 5: He's the senior, averaging almost nine yards per Carrie Davison, 505 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 5: a freshman, a bruiser six foot two forty, leads the 506 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 5: team of ten tackles. I mean he is with ten touchdowns. 507 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 5: He is a monster on the goal line. And they've 508 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 5: got this speedy freshman who's thick to d a Hill 509 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 5: junior almost ten yards per carry. So they've got three 510 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 5: guys who could beach in different ways. The question is 511 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 5: the inies for Oregon. How much will that be a factor? 512 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 5: And now we have to deal with the weather. So 513 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: there's some obstacles today for the Ducks, and they've only won. 514 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 5: They've only beatn one winning team all year, and that 515 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 5: was Northwestern, who did not look good last night against USC. 516 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 5: So you could poke some holes in the Ducks resume, 517 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 5: no doubt. 518 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 4: Yeah you can. I think you can poll KOLs both ways. 519 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 4: You know, I would look at Oregon's defense has been 520 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 4: pretty good throughout the year. Right, they are only two 521 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 4: games where they allowed more than fourteen points to their opponent. 522 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 4: One was, you know, strikingly against Penn State. But that 523 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 4: was an overtime game, right, double overtime? 524 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 7: Was it not leave? 525 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, double ot it got nutty at the end there. 526 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 4: Penn State scored twenty four points and IU IU scored thirty. 527 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 4: And IU has an explosive offense. Everybody else, you know, 528 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 4: fourteen points or less. And so that's the one thing 529 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 4: I think of with Iowa. Hey, listen, plus six might 530 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 4: be the right side if you got even better, could 531 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 4: be even better, could be even the right side if 532 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 4: you will right. But I just I played this game 533 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 4: with How'm I gonna feel if I'm holding a plus 534 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 4: six ticket or a plus six pick, you know, and 535 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 4: like rapid fire on this show. And let's just say 536 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 4: Oregon scores a touchdown. Let's say Oregon scores a couple 537 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 4: of touchdowns, and now you're like, oh gosh, I need 538 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: the Hawkeyes to score, and I want to make it 539 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 4: sound like their offense is broken because they can run 540 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 4: the ball. But Mark Gronowski has one touchdown pass in 541 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 4: Big ten play. That's it. He's got one. Okay. So 542 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 4: you know these games, you think they're gonna play out 543 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 4: a certain way, and all of a sudden, there's a 544 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 4: different scenario that's thrown at you, and all of a sudden, Hey, 545 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 4: the Ducks are scoring points here early on, and you 546 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 4: might need the Hawkeyes to match points to a certain degree. 547 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 4: So if it's all on the Hawkeyes defense, and that's 548 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 4: the handicap, I'm just saying it could go sideways. That's 549 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: all I'm saying. I'm not saying go Ducks's clearly the 550 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 4: right side. I'm just saying it might be some uncomfortable moments. 551 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 4: I call it, you know, like double deodorant spots. You 552 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 4: gotta apply a couple of you know, a couple of 553 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 4: go rounds of deodoran you're gonna be sweat this one out. 554 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 4: You could be if you're plus six with the Hawkeyes here. 555 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you absolutely could be. You really could be. 556 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: This is one of those in terms of the spread, 557 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: one of those stay away games. I actually think there's 558 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: a possibility that both teams go over their total in 559 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: this game. Because you just heard Jared talk about the 560 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: running game for Oregon. Well, the running game for I 561 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: was really good too, and I think that Oregon may 562 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: struggle against some of what I would does on the ground. Now, 563 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: they're they're pretty good against two tight end sets, like 564 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: when you break down some of the advanced analytics, but 565 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, look out of twelve personnel, which means you know, 566 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: one back, two tight. 567 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: The teams can run a ton of stuff. 568 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: So that's not necessarily indicative of them being able to 569 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: shut down or have no success against a team that 570 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: runs two tight end sets, but it is a factor. 571 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: Here's the here, I'm going to tell you what I 572 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: was gonna do, because they do the same thing every week. Offensively, 573 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna go out there and they're mostly gonna be 574 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: in two tight ends. They're gonna run a ton of 575 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: offensive or excuse me, outside zone with this offensive line 576 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: stretching the field left and right and the running backs 577 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: being patient looking for a seam to go north and south. 578 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: That's the way they run their offense. And then off 579 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: of that, they're gonna have a passing game. Now that 580 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: passing game, they're not going to throw a deep downfield 581 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: unless they get behind the sticks because Gronowski they can't 582 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: trust him to do that. He is one of the 583 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: worst on target throwers in FBS football right now, one 584 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: of the worst, so they don't rely on him to 585 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: throw the football. 586 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: He's a good game manager. 587 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: I was got a pretty decent run game, so they're 588 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna rely on that. It's how the game's gonna go. 589 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a slow game. But because you have 590 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: such a low total and you have two defenses who 591 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: can be had against the particular stylings of either side, 592 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: I think there's an opportunity here to look at the 593 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: total and maybe take the over on the whole game. 594 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: Or I'd be more comfortable taking the Oregon team total 595 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: and taking the over than I would Iowa. 596 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: But you could you could take a closer look at Iowan. 597 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: If you fall in love with the number, because trust me, 598 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: it's low, you could you could bet the over there too. 599 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: I think it's safer though, in in you know, getting 600 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: back to the original point than betting the spread in 601 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: this game, because I would that that I if that again, 602 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: if they're getting more than seven, i'd be I would 603 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: be way more than comfortable taking the spread. But six 604 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: six and a half, it's kind of stay. 605 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 2: Away for me. 606 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you where this line's gonna move, because 607 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 5: here's what's gonna happen. The injury report's gonna comment around 608 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 5: ten thirty ish Pacific, and people are gonna be like, 609 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 5: oh my god to Coreyan Moore's out, and everyone's gonna 610 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 5: bet Iowa and the line will drop a point or so, 611 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 5: maybe the total will drop a half a point a point. Again, 612 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 5: we've already seen a little bit of movement a half 613 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 5: a point, but a lot of shops are still at 614 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 5: six and a half. So I think you'll see a 615 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 5: wave of Iowa money come in once that injury news 616 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 5: hits the wire. And there's rumors that a couple other 617 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 5: offensive guys could be out too for Oregon, like this 618 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 5: could be a really thin offensive lineup for the Ducks. 619 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 5: When that happens, the line will go down and the 620 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 5: total will go down. So play it out in your head. 621 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 5: If you like Oregon, wait, wait until the injury report hits. 622 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 5: If you like Iowa, bet it now. If you like 623 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 5: the over, wait because the line toad is probably gonna drop, 624 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 5: You're gonna get a better number in a couple hours. 625 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 5: If you like the under, bet it now. I have 626 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 5: no idea what's gonna play out on the field. 627 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 7: I do know this. 628 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 5: Once the game start, so that's you know who knows. 629 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 5: But right now I feel very comfortable that if you 630 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 5: like Iowa, you should bet it pretty soon. 631 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 7: If you like Oregon, probably should wait. 632 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 5: The Iowa offensive line, guys, I feel like I say 633 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 5: this every year. I honestly think i Was got the 634 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 5: better old line in this game. I really do. They've 635 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 5: got so other than Indiana, They've got the best run 636 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 5: blocking grade on Pro Football Focuses website. I think they're 637 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 5: gonna be in the running for the Joe More Award 638 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 5: this year best offensive line in the country. Now, Oregon, 639 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 5: I think they're better of a running team in terms 640 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 5: of their backfield. But don't sleep on Kamari Moulton and 641 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 5: Xavier Williams. These are two very accomplished backs, and Gronowski 642 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 5: is a significantly better runner than Dante Moore more is 643 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 5: more of an elusive passer. He reminds me a lot 644 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 5: more of a guy who wants to stay in the 645 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 5: pocket as long as possible to throw the ball down 646 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 5: the field. But he can also beat you with his legs. 647 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 5: But this is going to be a game where both 648 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 5: teams turn out a ton of yards on the ground. 649 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 7: If you guys believe in weird fluky things. 650 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 5: I don't know what it is about Oregon and facing 651 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 5: teams with a vowel in their first name. But last 652 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 5: year their only loss was to Ohio State. Oh this 653 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 5: year they've lost to Indiana, and now they're about to 654 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 5: play Iowa. 655 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 4: So there's something. 656 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 5: About vowel teams that they just fired him. They just 657 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 5: trip up this Orgon team, right. And then two years 658 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 5: ago in twenty twenty three, they lost two games, both 659 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 5: of them to Washington w So again you want to 660 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 5: talk about weird symmetry with when Oregon loses, it does 661 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 5: seem to be this kind of universal language. 662 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 7: Indiana gave him problems. I think I was gonna give 663 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 7: him some problems today. 664 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 4: Something about the letter I. I don't know Brian Notre 665 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 4: Dame if that's the playoff match, but that's very good. 666 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 7: Right, No, no, no, not good. 667 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 5: But if they place Indiana, or if they figure out 668 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 5: a way to play Ohio State, then that's a problem. 669 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 4: Wow, that's funny. I just think this, I'll say real fast, 670 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 4: is it's amazing. I can't remember if it was you 671 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 4: Rich or you Jared that was talking about we might 672 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 4: see both teams gain a lot of yards on the ground, 673 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 4: and that might be exactly right. The thing that blows 674 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 4: my mind is, I mean, look at the difference in 675 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 4: quarterback play. Dante Moore is a legitimate threat in the 676 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 4: passing game. Mark Ronowski is not. His passing yards prop 677 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 4: is one thirty two and a half. Yikes, one thirty 678 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 4: two and a half, you know what I mean. So 679 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 4: it blows my mind that to your point, Jared, Iowa's 680 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 4: offensive line is that good where they can and still 681 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 4: run the ball consistently when they don't have a legitimate 682 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 4: threat in the passing game. And that's where I look 683 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 4: at a team like Oregon where they've got a quality defense, 684 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 4: and to me, it's like, just sell out against the rush. 685 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 4: Make Mark Gronowski beat you through the air. If he does, 686 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 4: you tip your cap. If you're just loading the box 687 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 4: and you're like, you're just not gonna run on us, 688 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 4: You're just not gonna run it down our throat all 689 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 4: day long. Not happening. It's like, all right, well, I 690 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 4: guess we got to air it out with Gronowski over here. 691 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 4: It's like advantage ducks, you know it. Just it still 692 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 4: blows my mind that a team like Iowa, against a 693 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 4: quality opponent, they can still run the ball when they 694 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 4: don't have a legitimate passing game. This isn't like I 695 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 4: don't know a Service academy and they don't throw at all. 696 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 4: Not everyone, I'm just saying in general. Right, let's just 697 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 4: say a certain service academy doesn't throw it at all, 698 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 4: but they're committed to the run. It's this weird system 699 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 4: and it just works. No matter what. You don't have 700 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 4: to have a passing game, it still works. It's like, 701 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 4: that's not what Iowa is, you know so, and they 702 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 4: still run the ball. It's crazy to me. So we'll 703 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 4: see if Oregon can shut down the run game over man. 704 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 4: So it's just sell out against that. Gronowski's got one 705 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 4: touchdown passing Big ten play you know, make him earn it, 706 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,959 Speaker 4: make him beat you through the air. So in any event, 707 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 4: we've got rich O. He's over there in Hawaii, Penn State, 708 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 4: all American, enjoying the waves, just brushing up along the shore. 709 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 4: Right there, beautiful ambiance.

Will be 729 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 4: an even greater payout if Jared goes with money line underdogs. Huh, 730 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 4: let's go. Let's get into it, Jared, what. 731 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: Do you like? 732 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're getting this to GC today. 733 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 5: So first of all, I think this money line underdog 734 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 5: will be a little bit lighter if you wait until 735 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 5: game time. Again, we just talked about this in the 736 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 5: Iowa Oregon preview. It appears as though there's some injuries 737 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 5: looming on the offensive side of the ball for the Ducks. 738 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 5: We've already seen a half point tick down on the 739 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 5: number this morning. I got in at six and a half. 740 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 7: Last night. 741 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 5: I actually gave this out as the BETMGM video that 742 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 5: I do for college football every week on Wednesday. So 743 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 5: I've been on the Hawkeyes all week. But now we're 744 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 5: starting to see some of those injury reports trickle into 745 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 5: the market. So I think if you bet this now, 746 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 5: you're gonna come out on the right side of the 747 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 5: ledger once we start. Once the game starts, who freaking knows, 748 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 5: But I do think Iowa's offensive line is gonna run 749 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 5: the ball effectively against this Oregon defense. 750 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 7: That is the name of the game for Oregon. 751 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 5: Offensively, they need a little bit more in the passing game, 752 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 5: but their running game. 753 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,439 Speaker 7: Is pretty solitude. This is gonna be a physical game. 754 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 5: There will be weather in Iowa City, and I think 755 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 5: hopefully Mark Kronowski makes just enough plays to get the 756 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 5: Hawkeys across the finish line. 757 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 7: So give me Iowa two to one on the money line, 758 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 7: the first leg of the platter. 759 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 2: Sorry, these works better when they're on. Okay, here we go. 760 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna repeat everything I just said. 761 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: Do you seem literally a little money line pick after 762 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 1: we're talking about Iowa from Jared there. 763 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 2: I like Iowa much better. 764 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: Than I like Oregon, and now I like them even 765 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: better because they're. 766 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 2: A part of our part life. All right, Here we go. 767 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: Georgia terrible defensive line in terms of pass rush. 768 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: This is really odd. 769 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: To say because we're used to saying so many complimentary 770 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: things about a Georgia defense. Against a Mississippi State team 771 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: who needs a win, like Blood, they are waiting to 772 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: clinch bull eligibility. They've had an up and down season, 773 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: a little top sea turvy, but they've been competitive all 774 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 1: the way through. If you look at all their games 775 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: into the third and fourth quarter, even games where they 776 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: lost by a wider disparity, they've all been close. That's 777 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: why I like the plus nine and a half points here. 778 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm riding with Mississippi State a couple of reasons that 779 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,959 Speaker 1: I like them against this Georgia defense. That pass rush, 780 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: however already mentioned the emotional factor I already mentioned. 781 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 2: I also think this outfitsive. 782 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: Line, who hasn't performed very well, has kept them in games. 783 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 2: Anyways. 784 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: They get the pressure valve released against a sack rate 785 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: that is third worst in the country behind the Air 786 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: Force and Georgia Southern. 787 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 2: Against this Georgia Bulldogs team. 788 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: So give me Mississippi State get nine and a half today. 789 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 4: Okay more cow bell? Huh very nice? All right, yeah good. 790 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 4: I'll stick with the sec here. Rich, I'll go with 791 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 4: this Florida Kentucky under give me under forty four and 792 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 4: a half today. Listen, I don't want this to be reactionary. 793 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 4: Last week, you know, Kentucky played at ten to three game, Like, 794 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 4: what is this the nineteen fifties? What are we doing 795 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 4: over here at ten to three? 796 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 2: Okay? 797 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 4: Like Kentucky plays great defense. Florida's defense is very good too. 798 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 4: Offenses leave a lot to be desired. I mean, forty 799 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 4: four and a half. It sounds like ridiculously low compared 800 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 4: to you know, some of the totals that you get 801 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 4: in college football. It is in college football, but let 802 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 4: me remind you this is a common total in say 803 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 4: the NFL, right, pretty common around forty four and a 804 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 4: half roughly, And you'll see games go under routinely in 805 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 4: the NFL. So I just think in this spot, good defenses, 806 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 4: offenses that struggle. I just don't see a points fest 807 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,959 Speaker 4: here today. So I'll take a slobber knocker and gate 808 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 4: versus UK under forty four and a half. 809 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, forty four and a half is a big So 810 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 5: forty four is a pretty big total in the NFL. 811 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 7: I don't think it's as prevalent in college. I need 812 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 7: to check my college ratings, but in the NFL. 813 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 5: Forty four and forty five are pretty big. Twelve to 814 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 5: one actually plus twelve forty one specifically at bet MGM 815 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 5: after one of those nifty boost tokens that we hear 816 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,280 Speaker 5: Brian talked about so eloquently during the commercial breaks. Nine 817 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 5: to one actually almost ten to one plus nine ninety 818 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 5: three without the boost token, I think is honestly, guys, 819 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 5: three legger getting over twelve to one. 820 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 7: That feels like a nice little payout here, I got, 821 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 7: I got a nice little fifty burger on this one today. 822 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 4: I think the boost huss So we're without the boosts 823 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 4: around ten to one, around ten to one, Yeah, let's 824 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 4: go beas like you know, almost twelve and a half 825 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 4: to one. 826 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's nice. No, it is for a three legger, 827 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 7: it is. 828 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, give you like a basically like a plus two 829 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 4: to fifty boost. 830 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 2: That's pretty nice. 831 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, the twenty five listen, I think the way 832 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 5: that the boosts work at at MGM, you should always 833 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 5: be using them when you have the New York count 834 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 5: guys him go to. 835 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 4: Waste, all right, Three seems to be an unlucky number 836 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 4: for this team today. You shall explain, Oh what is 837 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 4: going on? Welcome in happy Saturday to you as we 838 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 4: get you set for a full day of ball. That 839 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 4: is right, our guy rich O, he's out there in Hawaii. 840 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 4: It's got a ukulele for us, a solo in a 841 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 4: third hour, you know, they break it down. He's gonna 842 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 4: play killing fields on a ukulele from Slayer over there. 843 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 4: It's gonna be amazing. Yeah. So I you guys correct 844 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 4: me if you think this is off, but I think 845 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 4: three is an unlucky number for one team in particular today. 846 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 4: That would be the Missouri Tigers. Okay, So they're facing 847 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 4: the number three team in the country, that would be 848 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 4: Texas A and M. Missouri will be starting its number 849 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 4: three quarterback, true freshman Matt Zalars. He'll get the start, 850 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 4: you know, a couple of injury issues ahead of him, 851 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 4: So he's gonna start against a very aggressive Texas A 852 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 4: and M defense. Okay, and then this one is a 853 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 4: little bit of a stretch, but it's significant. Missouri is 854 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 4: gonna be without their star tight end, Brett Norfleet, and 855 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 4: he is third on the team with twenty six catches. 856 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 4: He actually leads both Missouri and SEC tight ends with 857 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,479 Speaker 4: five touchdown catches. He's not gonna see the field today 858 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,399 Speaker 4: due to Injuri. He's got a shoulder injury. So that's 859 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 4: a lot of three is going against you. Your third 860 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 4: leading receiver is out, your third string quarterback is in 861 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 4: true freshman, and you're facing the number three team. I mean, 862 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 4: that's that's not great for Missouri home dogs, your plus 863 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 4: seven at home. But if I'm again, this is a 864 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 4: lot like the Oregon handicap Oregon, make Mark Gronowski beat you. 865 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 4: Just make him beat you. Texas A and M. Make 866 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 4: this third string quarterback Matt Zalars beat you. And he's 867 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 4: got some ability. You know, he was in the top 868 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 4: one hundred in terms of you know, prospect rankings. So 869 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 4: I don't want to make it sound like he can't 870 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 4: play at all. But he's a true freshman going up 871 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: against an aggressive defense, top three team. Make him earn it. 872 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 4: I know, Matt Hardy and Jamal Roberts. It's a very 873 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 4: good one to two combo in terms of running backs. 874 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 4: Easier said than done. To you just limit their success, 875 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 4: but stack the box. Make this true freshman beat you. 876 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 4: And I think that's exactly what A and M is 877 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 4: going to do. That's going to be their formula today. 878 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think A and M is the much 879 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: better team. Obviously, Mike Elco has designs of winning a 880 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: national championship. A couple of holes. We'll get to the 881 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. But you know, just to 882 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 1: talk about this offense and lauded for its obvious success 883 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: is offensive coordinator Colin Klein. 884 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:46,959 Speaker 2: He can take a bow. 885 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: Marcel Reid in his junior season now has really accelerated 886 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: his growth this season. He's worked well with his leading 887 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 1: targets Concepcion and Craver. Yeah, this offense has been rock solid. 888 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: And Texas A and M, they really are buoyed by 889 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: it because they. 890 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: Have a couple of issues defensively. 891 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 1: They they again, you know, the same way we were 892 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: talking about how Iowa is an oddly poor tackling team. 893 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: So is this Texas A and M team. For as 894 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: high they are in the rankings, they don't tackle well 895 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: at all, Like broken tackles against their tackling rate in general, 896 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: if you can make one miss, you can get big 897 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: old chunk plays against A and M, and many team 898 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: teams have now Missouri, they have their obvious problems since 899 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: entering SEC play the Ahmad Hardy how he was dazzling 900 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,879 Speaker 1: us early in the season, he's really cooled off. The 901 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: touchdown rate has slowed down immensely. His his broken tackle rate, 902 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: forcing broken tackles against defenders has slowed down immensely. And 903 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: then obviously, losing your starting quarterback and starting a freshman 904 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,240 Speaker 1: is going to hurt them too. Defensively, they create havoc 905 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: and that's where they have a little bit of a 906 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: feather in their cap. So we'll see if they can 907 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,919 Speaker 1: slow down this Texas A and M offense. But as 908 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 1: sort of an overview of this game, A and M 909 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 1: is the much better team today. And that's that's it. 910 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 1: I mean, by by a lot, they're they're a better team. 911 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, they've They've done a really good job of kind 912 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 5: of silencing a lot of critics. You know, anytime an 913 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 5: upstart team in the SEC is undefeated, everyone's going to 914 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 5: try to poke holes. Especially when that team is not 915 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 5: Alabama Georgia, Everyone's going to try to poke holes in 916 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 5: A and M. This year, Marcel Reid's taken another step. 917 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 5: I like what Conklin's done for him. I think that 918 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 5: duo makes a lot of synergy magic together. Kanklin, of course, 919 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 5: former kansastate quarterback now in the coaching world, becoming a 920 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 5: really good offensive coordinator, doing a really good job right 921 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 5: Mike Elkomore a defensive guy, he's got his offensive guru, 922 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 5: and Reid's you know, Rich mentioned the receiving group I'll 923 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 5: give some love to read. The one thing about Marcel 924 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 5: that I think they need to do is run the 925 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 5: ball effectively, because his play action grade goes up considerably. 926 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 5: He's a much better passer with play action most quarterbacks are, 927 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 5: especially at the collegiate level. You're able to manipulate the 928 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 5: defense a little bit more and really zone in on 929 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 5: one specific matchup that you like. In this particular case, 930 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 5: it's gonna be tough because I think Missoo's defense is 931 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 5: gonna be up for the challenge. Right We've talked about 932 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 5: Missouri multiple times in the past, especially the game against Bama. 933 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 5: I thought that was their best game where they showed 934 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 5: you how difficult they are to block off the edge. 935 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 5: Zion Young Damon Wilson, those are the two guys to 936 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 5: keep an eye on off the edge for Missouri. They 937 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 5: are absolute beasts. And then you've got the big man 938 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 5: in the middle McClellan, who can stop the run the 939 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 5: Florida transfer. So this isn't gonna be just a and 940 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 5: m line it up and smash it right now in 941 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 5: Missouri's throat like they're gonna be up for this challenge. 942 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,479 Speaker 5: On the other side, Zala's upside is there. But as 943 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 5: Brian alluded to, this is the third string quarterback coming 944 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 5: into the year from Missouri. It is not an ideal 945 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 5: situation when you are facing the best of the best 946 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 5: right now in the sec We'll see how that plays out. 947 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 7: I'll throw a third right, we're all about the rule of. 948 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 5: Three here, all the sho nice, Yeah, I'll throw a 949 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 5: third wrinkle into this game. We talk about Missouri's defense, 950 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 5: we talk about A and M's offense. Here's the third wrinkle. 951 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 5: It's the distraction wrinkle. And I'll say this on the show. 952 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 5: I'm not one hundred percent confident that this is going 953 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 5: to happen. I'm about seventy percent confident. But it's significantly 954 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 5: higher than what some of the prediction markets are saying 955 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 5: right now. I got a whisper this week that Eli 956 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 5: Drinkowitz is going to be the next head coach of 957 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 5: Penn State. Is that one hundred percent confirmed? Of course not, 958 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 5: it's a whisper. Now, how often are these whispers true? Again, 959 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 5: I would say about sixty seventy percent of the time. 960 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 5: Mike Elco's also up for a lot of these jobs. 961 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 5: How are these if you think these coaches are not 962 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 5: interviewing over the net last week or two. 963 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 7: You're crazy. 964 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 5: These jobs are going to be filled before the College 965 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 5: Wall playoffs starts because of the transfer window and all 966 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,240 Speaker 5: of the restrictions with recruiting. These are very difficult interviews. 967 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 5: They're long, they're tiresome, they're deep. How are the teams 968 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 5: going to handle that? And if I'm catching word that 969 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,360 Speaker 5: Eli drink Witz and I'm not an insider, I'm not 970 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 5: an Adam schefter. If I'm catching word that Eli drink 971 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 5: Witz is going to be the next head coach of 972 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 5: Penn State, I'm sure a lot of other people within 973 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 5: the Missouri ranks are also hearing the same things, and 974 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 5: also within the Texas A and M ranks about Elko. 975 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 5: So that is another wrinkle to some of these high 976 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 5: leverage games over the next few weeks. A lot of 977 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 5: these coach think about how many openings right now are 978 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 5: in college football LSU, Penn State, Florida, Auburn, Like it's 979 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 5: it's crazy, and these jobs are going to get filled 980 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 5: by current head coaches or high profile coordinators at these 981 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,919 Speaker 5: big schools. So this is going to be a really 982 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 5: interesting dynamic to watch over the next few weeks. 983 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 4: I'm just laughing a little bit because when you mentioned that, 984 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 4: like Eli Drinkwitz might be the next Penn State head coach, 985 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 4: Rich was just like, Oh wow, what. 986 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:56,879 Speaker 2: Do you think about that?

A lot of 996 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: these hirings aren't all that sexy. 997 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 2: You know. 998 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: It's usually a coordinator getting a shot. It's a head 999 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: coaching re tread that we sort of see coming down 1000 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:38,439 Speaker 1: the pike. 1001 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 2: You know. 1002 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 1: This this is a situation where it's a guy who's 1003 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: done some really special things out a program that has 1004 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: long struggled, and he's bringing them, you know, somewhere near 1005 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,280 Speaker 1: the top of his conference. And it's a very difficult conference. 1006 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:57,720 Speaker 1: And Missouri has played unbelievably competitive football this year, albeit 1007 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,760 Speaker 1: it slowed down some when they got to their s schedule. 1008 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 1: Drinkowitz has he's he's got a good. 1009 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 2: Resume to back up the hiring. 1010 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: However, I mean, I'm I'm am I blown away by it. 1011 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 2: No, you know, I mean. 1012 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 1: If all of a sudden, if all of a sudden 1013 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,439 Speaker 1: instead of the rule of three, John was like, hey, 1014 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: as a complete non sequitor, I'm here in Gruden has 1015 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: major interest in Penn State. I'd be like, what you know, now, 1016 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: does that mean that Eli drag Woitz is gonna be 1017 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: a worst coach than John Gruden or John Gruden would 1018 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: be the right selection for Penn State. No, but name recognition, excitement, interest, 1019 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: you know, a furrowed brow, maybe even like all that 1020 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: stuff comes to mind when you think about hiring, like 1021 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: Chucky coming to uh Penn State. But but but this 1022 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: feels like, if it does end up happening, it's a 1023 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 1: well earned opportunity for a very talented head coach who's 1024 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: done some amazing things with the Tigers over the past, 1025 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: especially the past season. 1026 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,799 Speaker 2: I've been specifically impressed without they've competed. You know. 1027 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 4: It's it's something funny that you mentioned rich about Texas 1028 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 4: A and m not tackling very well. Yeah, and It 1029 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 4: just got me thinking how I complain while watching a 1030 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 4: football game, you know what I mean, Like depending on 1031 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 4: what side I'm on, what like prop bet, what what 1032 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 4: team total whatever? Like what side I have? Right, Like, 1033 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,800 Speaker 4: let's just say I'm on Texas A and M today 1034 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 4: for the sake of argument. I could see myself watching 1035 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 4: today's game just going tackle right like over and no 1036 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 4: tackle somebody, my gosh, tackle, just tackle a guy, you know, 1037 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 4: because Madd Hardy even though his numbers have declined, and 1038 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 4: Jamal Roberts especially Hardy though, Man, that guy yards after contact. 1039 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,879 Speaker 4: He specializes in that area. So that's one thing. 1040 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:50,359 Speaker 2: Man. 1041 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 4: Offensively, it's catch the ball, I'll say it, just like 1042 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 4: catch the ball, man. But man, when a team cannot 1043 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 4: get dudes on on the ground, they just can't tackle. 1044 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 4: Oh that's a rough watch, man. That is a rough watch. 1045 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: And it really is one of those things that fundamentally 1046 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 1: you can work on throughout this season. A lot of 1047 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: coaches don't want to again, you want to talk about 1048 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: doing something that's sexy at practice, you know, like like 1049 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 1: where you're going over you know some of your more 1050 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, deep cuts in your playbook, like hey, we're 1051 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna work on that Philly special because it 1052 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: may come up in the low red zone this week. 1053 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: It's like, ah, yeah, we're fired up about running that 1054 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 1: new Blitz scheme. 1055 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 2: That is A it's only up for A and M. 1056 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,239 Speaker 1: You know, here's the deal. At the end of the day, 1057 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: football is a pretty simple game. It's throw, catch, block, tackle, 1058 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 1: And I mean, if you want to throw and kick, 1059 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,959 Speaker 1: because it's so crucial in certain moments, throw and kick. 1060 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: But if you do those four things well especially, you're 1061 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,759 Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty damn good football team. And it's 1062 00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 1: amazing how many even good football teams with good recruits 1063 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 1: really don't concentrate on the fundamentals. Especially toward the end 1064 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: of the season. You'll see poorer tackling as the weather 1065 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 1: gets cold, and a lot of people attributed to the 1066 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: fact that, hey, yeah, like the weather's cold, it's harder 1067 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: to tackle. 1068 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:15,239 Speaker 2: Bulowny. 1069 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 1: It isn't harder to tackle in hot weather. Cold weather 1070 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,319 Speaker 1: because in hot weather guys sweat more. It's harder to 1071 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: get a hold of them. Sometimes you know, they're slippery, 1072 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 1: they get away from you. 1073 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 2: Cold weather. 1074 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the weather doesn't matter. It's teams that 1075 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: work on their feet and their fundamentals at practice, and 1076 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: the further you get through the season, the lesson you 1077 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: think you need to work on it with certain coaching staffs. 1078 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 1: And honestly, that's when you gotta lock in even more. 1079 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: You gotta spend the five minutes at practice run through 1080 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,440 Speaker 1: it with your defensive line, your linebackers, and your defensive backs, 1081 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: and you will have a pretty damn good defense if 1082 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 1: they can get ball carriers on the ground. 1083 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, the hardy also bringing hardy to the grounds not easy. 1084 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 5: So he leads all pop power for backs this year 1085 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 5: seven hundred and twenty two yards after first contact. 1086 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 7: I mean again, I'll give. 1087 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 5: You a lot of running backs will take that period 1088 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,359 Speaker 5: seven hundred and twenty two yards for the season. 1089 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 7: They'll be hey, that's a great year. 1090 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,919 Speaker 5: That's after first contact and we still got a lot 1091 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 5: of time left in the season. 1092 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 7: Now he has trailed off a little bit. 1093 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 5: He has not eclipsed one hundred yards over his last 1094 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 5: three games, so he's starting to slow down. The one 1095 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,800 Speaker 5: thing about A and M is they give up a 1096 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 5: lot of running yards. So we you know, this is 1097 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 5: something that I think we will definitely be keeping an 1098 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 5: eye out in this game. We'll see if Mike Elcho 1099 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,879 Speaker 5: throws some heavy boxes, I would The issue is they 1100 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,439 Speaker 5: haven't really been behind. 1101 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 7: In a lot of games this year. 1102 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 5: Right, A and M has been on the front foot, 1103 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 5: so teams have been throwing it on A and M 1104 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 5: a lot, so it hasn't been as big of a factor. 1105 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 5: The fact that they haven't been as good against the run. 1106 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,439 Speaker 5: Toy and York I've mentioned his name on the show before. 1107 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,400 Speaker 5: Middle linebacker for A and M. Not a big, physical, 1108 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 5: athletic guy, just one of the best, most instinctual linebackers 1109 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,320 Speaker 5: I've ever watched play college football. 1110 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 7: He just sniffs out where the run, where the run 1111 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 7: hole is. He is so good at that. 1112 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 5: I don't know if he's gonna play on Sunday because 1113 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 5: of his size, but he definitely has the brain to 1114 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 5: play on Sunday, no doubt about it. You cannot let 1115 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,759 Speaker 5: this run game beat you. If Mike got say, you 1116 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 5: gotta figure out a way to get zllars into obvious 1117 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 5: passing downs. But the one thing about A and M 1118 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 5: this year, how about this twenty on third downs that's 1119 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 5: the best in the country, like by far, Like it's 1120 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,919 Speaker 5: like not even close. So they have been really good 1121 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 5: on third downs this year. Now, that can be a 1122 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 5: little bit of a fluky stat but I think this 1123 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 5: is a really good A and M defense that struggles 1124 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 5: in one area that Missouri does well. So this is 1125 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 5: gonna be a fun matchup. Honestly, I would not be 1126 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 5: surprised if Missouri keeps this game close because A and 1127 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 5: M on the road has been a bit of a 1128 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 5: struggle this year. 1129 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 7: Go watch the Arkansas game. 1130 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's why I think it comes down to. 1131 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,840 Speaker 4: It comes down to A and m's rush defense against 1132 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 4: Missouri's rushing offense. And I think it comes down to 1133 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 4: Missouri staying on schedule. Right, if it's third and four, 1134 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 4: it's third and three, Okay, you know we got something 1135 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 4: worse here. If it's consistently third and eight, third and ten, 1136 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 4: and it's like Zalar's just do your thing, buddy, you 1137 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 4: know that's not a good spot for Miszoo to be in. 1138 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 4: So I think it's missoo's running game. How effective is it? 1139 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 4: And can they stay on schedule and take a lot 1140 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,719 Speaker 4: off of the plate of Zalars? Right, if there's more 1141 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 4: on his plate, that's that's Texas A and M advantage 1142 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 4: all day. Yeah, hey, and we've got go ahead. 1143 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say one last thing, Missouri's defense 1144 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,800 Speaker 1: putting a stop to some of those explosives from Texas, 1145 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,240 Speaker 1: A and M is going to be huge. 1146 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:31,720 Speaker 2: Well. 1147 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: I think that this matchup for Reid it bodes well 1148 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 1: because if you look at what Missouri likes to run, 1149 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 1: cover three, what Marcel Reid throws well against. Over the 1150 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: course of the season, he's been eating up cover three defenses, 1151 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:52,399 Speaker 1: but Missouri's been great at contested catches and forcing tight 1152 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 1: window throws. So if Reid, if he's on like if 1153 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 1: he's if he's putting them ball right on the money, 1154 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,320 Speaker 1: this could be a long day for the Missouri defense. 1155 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: But like you just said, Brian, road game, tough environment, 1156 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 1: super competitive team, even though they've lost in the SEC 1157 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: so far, I think this could be closer than a 1158 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 1: lot of people will will give it credit for. 1159 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 2: Right out the front, Yeah, I like it. 1160 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 4: Maybe a little rapid fire selection, right. It's a great point, though, 1161 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,440 Speaker 4: I just you know, I want to highlight what you 1162 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 4: just said right there, Rich where think about it as 1163 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 4: an offense. If Missouri gets the ball and they have 1164 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 4: this methodical, you know, like eight minute drive, they score points, 1165 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 4: so feeling great, you know, but if A and M 1166 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 4: has this explosive play, you know, Concepcione catches a sixty 1167 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 4: five yard touchdown pass and now all of a sudden, 1168 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 4: as the Missouri offense, you're like, we gotta like nickel 1169 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 4: and dime our way all the way down the field 1170 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 4: or we're trailing late. Right, Like, there are a lot 1171 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 4: of times where that methodical, you know, let's get five 1172 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 4: yards here, let's get four yards there. Like, it gets 1173 00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 4: really tough when the other team has explosive play. So 1174 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 4: that's a big thing to limit it for that reason 1175 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 4: too for your own offense. Right, all right, We've got 1176 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 4: Rich Orenberger, Penn State All American, Jared Smith, FSR betting analyst. 1177 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 4: I'm Brian No. Register with BETMGM to get instant access 1178 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 4: to the best variety of parlay selection features, no sweat 1179 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 4: and boost tokens, live betting options, and much more.

Seamus, is this is this 1202 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 4: the week? Good morning to you? I should say good 1203 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 4: morning before I take you know, unnecessary cheap shots. Is 1204 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,800 Speaker 4: this the week that your fugazy Virginia Cavaliers or the 1205 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 4: the you know, the the house of cards, It just 1206 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 4: comes crashing down. Is this what we're looking at? 1207 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 10: Good morning to you too, guys. I don't think so. 1208 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 10: Virginia's finally back at home night game. The crowds that 1209 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 10: they've been getting the past few weeks at home have 1210 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 10: been really good. I don't think this is the week. 1211 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 10: You could argue this is a decent look ahead spot 1212 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,520 Speaker 10: with Duke on deck on the road, but I'd argue 1213 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 10: Coop's got the bigger look ahead spot with Virginia coming 1214 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 10: to their place next week. So I think Virginia gets 1215 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 10: it done. I don't know if they cover six and 1216 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 10: a half Wakes, and I think they've exceeded expectations. I 1217 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 10: would argue not really showing up and win losses, but 1218 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 10: like they've played a lot better than they've showed then 1219 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 10: they were supposed to be this year at least. 1220 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like a Sloper knocker kind of game. 1221 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 5: I might be on the under in that game. I 1222 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 5: think Wakes defense have been pretty good Virginia. Also, as 1223 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 5: you mentioned, you don't want to show too much with 1224 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 5: a huge game on deck next week. Oregon hasn't shown 1225 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 5: us their best yet this year. The game at Penn 1226 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:41,040 Speaker 5: State's aging like milk and now they've got some injuries today. 1227 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 5: I'm assuming despite that, everyone is still betting the Ducks 1228 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 5: based off of what we saw earlier in the week. 1229 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 5: The question is, Seamus, So we're going to start to 1230 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 5: see some Iowa money come in now that this injury 1231 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 5: news is starting to filter into the market. 1232 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, we're gonna see which way the line moves. But 1233 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 10: I mean this has been pretty even both is all 1234 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 10: week as far as ticket counts and money. Anything we 1235 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 10: take in slightly more Iowa plus six and a half 1236 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 10: money here. I mean, it's gonna be an interesting game. 1237 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 10: I liked Iowa before the game, but we'll see what 1238 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 10: happens with this line movement. 1239 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: We got our initial CFP rankings. It was unveiled earlier 1240 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: this week. Do you have any compliments, criticisms, concerns the 1241 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 1: three c's after seeing the CFP? 1242 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 10: I mean, there, I don't. I can't get on board 1243 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 10: with Texas eleven. I think that's a bit much, But 1244 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 10: like we see it every year, these first rankings mean 1245 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 10: absolutely nothing. Like four of these teams are probably going 1246 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 10: to be out of it. I think the ACC got 1247 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 10: absolutely screwed this first rankings. But that's just me. I 1248 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 10: call me, call me biased all you want. I just 1249 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 10: want to know why the Big twelve is suddenly a 1250 01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 10: juggernaut light years head of the ACC. 1251 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 4: All right, Samos, I'm always interested what bet MGM needs 1252 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 4: today if you could waive the you know, the magic 1253 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 4: BETMGM wand what would benefit the book the most with 1254 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 4: the result here are too today. 1255 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,479 Speaker 10: I'd say the three plays we're gonna end up needing 1256 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 10: the most as it stands right now, Penn State plus 1257 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 10: fourteen and a half. Wow, Mississippi State plus nine and 1258 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 10: a half, and BYU is going to need to cover 1259 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 10: ten and a half. 1260 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 7: It is. 1261 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 10: People are really, you know, starting to suspect things about 1262 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 10: this b YU team. Maybe they're a little fo gazy 1263 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 10: and they're all over Texas Tech today. 1264 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 5: Interesting, the jig is up with BYU. I love this 1265 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 5: boch Mar kid though. I think it's going to be 1266 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 5: a fascinating matchup. Yeah, he really is the SEC. Like, 1267 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 5: You've got some interesting matchups today. I wouldn't call any 1268 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 5: of these like headliners. But you've got A and M 1269 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 5: on the road against the third string quarterback. You've got 1270 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 5: Bama in the LSU, Brian Kelly bounce back, you know, 1271 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 5: dead fire, dead, coach firing game. 1272 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 7: You've got Auburn in a dead coach firing. 1273 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,160 Speaker 5: Game, Like you have all these coaches that have been 1274 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 5: fired and now we're going to see if their team 1275 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 5: bounces back from them. Have you seen any unique action 1276 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,040 Speaker 5: in the SEC for some of these games, It's. 1277 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 10: Been pretty straightforward, honestly. This week for the book, it's 1278 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 10: just a lot of favorites coming in. I think I 1279 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 10: was the only dog I think I've seen. It's been like, huh, 1280 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 10: Like that's kind of surprising. We're taking more money here. 1281 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 10: But as as far as the fired coach angle here, 1282 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 10: it's still looking like people are still fading some of 1283 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 10: these teams. 1284 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you four team names. Which of 1285 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 1: these is the least likely to finish the team the season? 1286 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 1: Undefeated Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A, and m BYU are 1287 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,800 Speaker 1: the only remaining CFP Top twenty five or top twenty 1288 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 1: five teams period who are undefeated right now. 1289 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Who's most likely to fit with a loss? 1290 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 10: B YU I was talking to them before. This team 1291 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,520 Speaker 10: has been a walk box team all year. I mean 1292 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 10: the Iowa State game. If if rock Obec doesn't throw 1293 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 10: some of the most boneheaded picks you've ever seen in 1294 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 10: the fourth quarter. I mean it's it's not even close 1295 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,840 Speaker 10: to the way you lose. Is the probably outside of 1296 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 10: the top fifteen at the very least, it's got to 1297 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 10: be them other than that, Like I don't see Ohio 1298 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,440 Speaker 10: stated in a handle losing A and M probably like 1299 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 10: they still got some tough games that I was, you know, 1300 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 10: saying Texas eleven surprised me. But by the time they 1301 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 10: play an n that's going to be a huge, huge 1302 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 10: game in terms of the landscape of the CFTE. 1303 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:46,920 Speaker 7: Going to be Georgia. 1304 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 2: Seamus, that's going to be. 1305 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 10: A playoff game right there. I a little low on Georgia. 1306 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 10: I don't think this team is that good. I think 1307 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 10: there might be some value on them to miss the 1308 01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,240 Speaker 10: playoffs by the end of the year. 1309 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:00,200 Speaker 7: Wo wow. 1310 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 4: By the way, little bonus question for you, Seamus, before 1311 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 4: your seamous special, I gotta give you props because you 1312 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 4: were so right about South Carolina. I remember the jugglar 1313 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,479 Speaker 4: veins starting to pop out. You're like, they're gonna lose 1314 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 4: games left and right, and sure enough, you're right. Sure yeah. 1315 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 4: Can you think about where you were right the most 1316 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 4: this year? It might be South Carolina and where you 1317 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 4: were wrong the most with what you thought before the 1318 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 4: season began. 1319 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 10: South South Carolina certainly comes up BC did on this. 1320 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 10: On this, I was dead on about BC. Find me 1321 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 10: five wins for this team. And I mean, granted, they 1322 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 10: did look better last week against Notre Dame until they 1323 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 10: ended up getting blown out. Team I was wrong the 1324 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 10: most on I try not to think about it too 1325 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 10: much of them. 1326 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 5: Right right, right? 1327 01:05:51,320 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, that would assume I have been wrong, right you know, Oh. 1328 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 10: You guys are gonna love this Buffalo Bulls. I thought 1329 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 10: this team was gonna be the class of the MAC, 1330 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:11,240 Speaker 10: all these starters back ten state transfer a QB. I 1331 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 10: had him ten plus wins. I had to win the 1332 01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 10: MAC and they they should have lost to you man, 1333 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 10: and then they lose to Achlan like this is. It's 1334 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,040 Speaker 10: just been a nightmare for the Bulls this year. 1335 01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,440 Speaker 4: Okay, let's do the Seamus Special. And I would like 1336 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,280 Speaker 4: I'd like to add like an addendum, can I do? 1337 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's worded correctly, but if you 1338 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,800 Speaker 4: go to like, you know, like a soccer play or 1339 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,840 Speaker 4: you know, like FCS play, that's fine, totally fine, fair 1340 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 4: game for the shame of special.

But we're going to Poughkeepsie, 1349 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 10: New York, and we are once again fading the steps 1350 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 10: and hatters. Wow, College minus twelve and a half in Poughkeepsie, 1351 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 10: this is steps in off a bye week. It's a 1352 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,920 Speaker 10: get right game for Maris. They've lost four straight, but 1353 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 10: they come back home and I can't see steps and 1354 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 10: getting up for this one and then college game I 1355 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 10: like the most. Give me a Yukon with the point. Yes, 1356 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 10: this is a this is a good look ahead spot 1357 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,320 Speaker 10: with Yukon at home, I think they might get some 1358 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 10: I went to get a decent crowd for this game, Duke. 1359 01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 10: It is a big look. I saw Uva on deck 1360 01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 10: and weird like just a non conference game this late 1361 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 10: into the year. Yukon and a lot of momentum going 1362 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 10: with that. Team and a pretty solid TV back there. 1363 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 10: So I like Yukon a lot today. 1364 01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 4: Okay, all right, we'll take it. Good stuff Seamus as always, 1365 01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 4: but hope you enjoyed the day. We'll catch you soon. 1366 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 10: Thanks, guys, enjoy the games you doo. 1367 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 2: There. 1368 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 4: He is Seamus McGee, team lead of sports Trading at 1369 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 4: bet MGM. Always does an awesome job. All right, let 1370 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 4: me just throw another game at you. How about the Irish? 1371 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:11,959 Speaker 2: You know, like, how. 1372 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 4: How about Navy at Notre Dame. Notre Dame favored by 1373 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 4: four touchdowns, twenty eight point favorites, total is fifty five 1374 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 4: and a half. You know, like some people, I get 1375 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,040 Speaker 4: it right. This is not like a circle this game 1376 01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,160 Speaker 4: like this gotta be on the quad box where I 1377 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 4: get it right. But I think it's an interesting matchup 1378 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 4: where you know, Navy, their offense has actually been pretty 1379 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,639 Speaker 4: good this season, and if you look at this Notre 1380 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,840 Speaker 4: Dame defense, a lot of the starters have not faced 1381 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 4: this Navy offense. And Chris ash the defensive coordinator, he's 1382 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:46,640 Speaker 4: been routinely called out and rightfully so this year. So 1383 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 4: are the Irish? Are they gonna be like assignment football 1384 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 4: driven today? Are they gonna be on there. You know 1385 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 4: what they call it, their p's and q's. 1386 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:55,680 Speaker 3: I don't. 1387 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,680 Speaker 4: I've got my doubts right. So can Navy be a 1388 01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 4: little bit feisty? Can they you know, at least score 1389 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:02,040 Speaker 4: a couple of touchdowns? 1390 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1391 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely. I don't think it's gonna be a close game. 1392 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 4: I don't think D's gonna have to sweat it out. 1393 01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 4: But in terms of just like stopping Navy's offense, I 1394 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 4: don't see that happening. And there's no stopping Notre Dames 1395 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 4: defense today. Navy has no shot. Their defense sucks, They're 1396 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 4: gonna get rolled. So yeah, I don't know if it's 1397 01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 4: gonna be a close one, but I think there's gonna 1398 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,080 Speaker 4: be some points in this one. 1399 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 1400 01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 1: I'm all over Notre Dame's team total because I don't 1401 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,799 Speaker 1: think there's anyway the Navy slows down the Irish today. 1402 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at any advanced metric, or 1403 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:39,600 Speaker 1: really any metric period Notre Dame against the Navy defense, 1404 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it leans so heavily. 1405 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 2: To Notre Dame. 1406 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean even when they get to third down, they're 1407 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 1: converting out such a hot clip that I don't think 1408 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 1: Navy's gonna have much success if they get them behind schedule. 1409 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be one of those games where I 1410 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,879 Speaker 1: just think that the Irish are gonna. 1411 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 2: Over WELLM Navy in every way. 1412 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:07,720 Speaker 1: Look, service academies always present an interesting challenge, right you 1413 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,360 Speaker 1: know you always say to yourself, well, anything can happen 1414 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 1: when you're playing against option offenses and teams that you 1415 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,200 Speaker 1: know obviously deploy a variety of different attacks that you're 1416 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 1: not necessarily seeing all the time throughout the course of 1417 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:26,400 Speaker 1: your your playing schedule. But in this situation, I think 1418 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,679 Speaker 1: the safe bet, if you are going to put anything 1419 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,640 Speaker 1: on this game, would be that the Irish you're going 1420 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 1: to eat. They're gonna get there. So I think it's 1421 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,519 Speaker 1: at what forty forty and a half? Maybe I like 1422 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 1: the Irish going over their team total. 1423 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would be willing to it's twenty eight at MGM, 1424 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,519 Speaker 5: it's twenty seven and a half at some other shops. 1425 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 5: I would be willing to lay the twenty seven and 1426 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 5: a half with Notre Dame. I don't see Navy covering this. 1427 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 4: What about the twenty eight shared? Do you feel comfortable? 1428 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,679 Speaker 5: I mean, less of an exciting bet, but I still 1429 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 5: think Notre Dame. 1430 01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 7: Could easily win by forty easily. 1431 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, they drop fifty on this defense last year, and 1432 01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 5: they've upgraded at quarterback end receiver. 1433 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 7: And we've talked about CJ. Carr. 1434 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 5: I think there is a lot of upside here, guys, 1435 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 5: and I don't think he's tapped into that true potential yet. 1436 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:12,760 Speaker 2: This is a. 1437 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 5: Quarterback that looks to be all boxes checked with everything 1438 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 5: he can do physically. He's just a freshman and he 1439 01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 5: just needs to learn how to play the position a 1440 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 5: little bit more. And they've got much better receivers this year. 1441 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 5: And Notre Dame's defense, orxuse me, Navy's defense is an 1442 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:31,280 Speaker 5: absolute disaster. I will say on the Notre Dame defensive side, 1443 01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:35,000 Speaker 5: Kingston milliamu Asa six three, two thirty, this is the 1444 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:36,800 Speaker 5: guy to watch. This is the guy who they line 1445 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 5: up all over the field. He's a sophomore's coming off 1446 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 5: a huge game against Boston College. Five pressures, two sacks, 1447 01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 5: six tackles. You want to talk about shutting down a 1448 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 5: very versatile Navy offense. That's a guy that could line 1449 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 5: him up a linebacker, lin him up a defensive lineman. 1450 01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 7: They line him up all over the field. 1451 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 5: He's kind of like a joker type of position hybrid player, 1452 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,680 Speaker 5: but very talented, very athletic. That's the guy to look for. 1453 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 5: And you might hear about this in it up coming 1454 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 5: up very shortly. 1455 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:02,719 Speaker 7: But I think. 1456 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,760 Speaker 5: Jeremiah Love I put a little I got one of 1457 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 5: those free bets on bet MGM recently. 1458 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 7: I put it on him to win the Heisman. Do 1459 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:10,200 Speaker 7: I think he's going to win the Heisman? 1460 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 2: No? 1461 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 5: Is he the best player in the country, Yes, and 1462 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 5: to me one hundred and six rushing yards. I mean 1463 01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 5: he might get that in the first half. So twenty 1464 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 5: five explosives this year, third most in the country. Price 1465 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,080 Speaker 5: obviously is the best backup running back in the country, 1466 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,559 Speaker 5: probably RB one on you know, most powerful rosters. 1467 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 7: Navy's defense is really bad against the run. 1468 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 5: They gave up one hundred and ninety seven and four 1469 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 5: touts to Caleb Hawkins of North Texas last week. So 1470 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,320 Speaker 5: I think this is going to be a big game 1471 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,320 Speaker 5: for the Navy or for the Notre Dame running game 1472 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:38,719 Speaker 5: for sure. 1473 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 4: I've never loved you more than this moment right here. 1474 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 7: Listen. 1475 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 5: I tell it like it is, whether it's propositive or negative. 1476 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 7: I tell it the way I see it. 1477 01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 5: There's no bias at all my handicapping, unless we're talking 1478 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 5: about Penn State. 1479 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, well we'll get to them next hour.

All you need 1514 01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,800 Speaker 5: is love over one oh six and a hook in 1515 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:41,719 Speaker 5: his rushyard prop today. He has twenty five explosives this year. 1516 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,760 Speaker 5: That's third most in the country. Navy is not a 1517 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,839 Speaker 5: good tackling team, guys ninety fifth. 1518 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 7: And run defense this year. They just allowed North Texas 1519 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 7: as KYLEB. 1520 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,639 Speaker 5: Hawkins to go bananas one hundred and ninety seven yards 1521 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 5: and four touchdown. I love Kayleb Hawkins. He's having a 1522 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 5: fantastic here. He is going to be upgrading his status 1523 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,599 Speaker 5: next year, probably going to transfer into a cow program. However, 1524 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,320 Speaker 5: he's not Jeremiah Love, who I consider right now to 1525 01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 5: be the best college football player in the country. Is 1526 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,519 Speaker 5: he gonna win the Heisman? No, it's a quarterback award 1527 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 5: and little politics there. But I think pound for pound, 1528 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,360 Speaker 5: this dude is the class of the running back position 1529 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:17,599 Speaker 5: in the country. And I think one hundred yards light 1530 01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,559 Speaker 5: work maybe in the first half against this Swiss cheez 1531 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 5: Navy defense over one o six and a half rush. 1532 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 7: Yards for mister Love today. 1533 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna bring you over to Texas A and 1534 01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,919 Speaker 1: M Missouri that game that we were talking about earlier. 1535 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 2: Casey concepts you on. 1536 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,799 Speaker 1: I think he's going to go for over his fifty 1537 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 1: and a half receiving yard total. Here's the reason why 1538 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,679 Speaker 1: Missouri sits in Cover three Marcel Reid high success rate 1539 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,920 Speaker 1: against Cover three. The versatile Conceptscione is gonna get. 1540 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,839 Speaker 2: Open in a multitude of different ways. 1541 01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 1: He's gonna eat even if they're able to keep a 1542 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 1: lid on the explosives. 1543 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 2: He's gonna be a big part of the offense today. 1544 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 1: So again, Casey concepts, you on give me the over 1545 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 1: fifteen and a half receiving yards. 1546 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:02,800 Speaker 2: I like it. 1547 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,439 Speaker 4: I like the breakdown very nice. You know what, let's 1548 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 4: I can't break up this over party. You know, let's 1549 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 4: go with TCU quarterback Josh Hoover. I like over two 1550 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 4: seventy three and a half passing yards, high total co 1551 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:21,160 Speaker 4: with good reasons. So Iowa State they're down another safety, 1552 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 4: like their secondaries dropping like flies. They've lost four of 1553 01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 4: their five opening day starters in the secondary to injury. 1554 01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:34,040 Speaker 4: The latest one is Jamison Patten. He's out. And so 1555 01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 4: I mean Josh Hoover and TCU they love to throw 1556 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:41,439 Speaker 4: it against an undermanned Iowa State secondary. He's gonna have 1557 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 4: a lot of success today. And also, you know, somewhat 1558 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 4: tighter point spread. I guess you could worry if this 1559 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,760 Speaker 4: is like eighteen and a half or something like that. 1560 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 4: TCU's favored by seven and a half, So I don't 1561 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 4: expect them to just run away and hide, you know, 1562 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,679 Speaker 4: and they're just running the ball, running the ball. Late 1563 01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 4: game script gets away from you. I think I always 1564 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:05,000 Speaker 4: state it's feisty enough to keep within striking distance ish right, 1565 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,320 Speaker 4: where it's just not run run, run, run run for 1566 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 4: the second half. So I like Josh Hoover and sweet 1567 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,639 Speaker 4: uniforms from TCU eclectic helmets today. Give me Hoover over 1568 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,799 Speaker 4: two seventy three and a half passing yards. 1569 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 7: I like that a lot. 1570 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 2: Hoover. 1571 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,519 Speaker 5: We don't talk about Josh Houber enough, guys. He's having 1572 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 5: an awesome year. He was one of the best quarterbacks 1573 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:29,160 Speaker 5: in the country last year, and I thought they obviously upgraded. 1574 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 7: That's a really good look, honestly, Byron with the safeties 1575 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:32,080 Speaker 7: being out. 1576 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 5: I would look at his touchdowns prop as well, because 1577 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:35,880 Speaker 5: that total is pretty high, right, I mean that's a 1578 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 5: you know, almost. 1579 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 7: Touching sixty here. 1580 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,719 Speaker 5: They obviously expect there to be some points in this game, 1581 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,400 Speaker 5: I think. So I want to give you a name 1582 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 5: on Mississippi State. So I was looking and we obviously 1583 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,680 Speaker 5: like Mississippi State today because we're putting them in. 1584 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:49,360 Speaker 7: The parlay platter. 1585 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 5: I was watching some film on Mississippi State. They have 1586 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,320 Speaker 5: a receiver, Brendan Thompson five nine, one seventy. I think 1587 01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,200 Speaker 5: he's the fastest player in the sec. He was running 1588 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 5: by Texas corners, like running straight by them, and Texas 1589 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 5: I would say is arguably actually to be fair. Texas 1590 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 5: defense hasn't been as good this year, but they're still 1591 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 5: very athletic, very talented players, and he's just like dead 1592 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,720 Speaker 5: spring with four or five yards in a cloud of dust, 1593 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,720 Speaker 5: like see you later. I would absolutely look at his 1594 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 5: receiving yards prop today and his touchdowns PROP. I didn't 1595 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 5: check the number yet, but that was a guy I 1596 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,800 Speaker 5: wanted to highlight in this segment because he is an 1597 01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 5: absolute speed demon. 1598 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,840 Speaker 7: And Mississippi State is gonna behind today. They're gonna be 1599 01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:27,280 Speaker 7: growing it. 1600 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,639 Speaker 5: And Blake Shapin I think this is his favorite target. 1601 01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 5: Brennan Thompson, Mississippi State receiver. 1602 01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 7: Keep an eye on him. He is a game breaker. 1603 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:38,040 Speaker 4: Nice good stuff. I like that you got any bonus 1604 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 4: ones over there? Rich, you know you're getting I don't 1605 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,960 Speaker 4: know you're getting, like the vibes over there in Hawaii, 1606 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 4: you know you're getting I don't know, getting some here. 1607 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny. 1608 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the I'm here sitting near or really 1609 01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean steps away from Waikiki Beach, and all he 1610 01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,879 Speaker 1: can keep looking at is a game that's gonna. 1611 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:05,559 Speaker 2: Be played in Missouri because I then I then looked 1612 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:06,719 Speaker 2: over at Mod Hardy. 1613 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I think what you guys said about him 1614 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: throughout the course of this season has been true. He's 1615 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,200 Speaker 1: been like a bowling ball, really hard guy to bring down. 1616 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:18,960 Speaker 1: And so I would take a look at his overprop 1617 01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:19,559 Speaker 1: as well. 1618 01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 2: I actually haven't yet. 1619 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to pull it up on bet MGM. Here 1620 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,639 Speaker 1: from the roof of this hotel. What are you looking for? 1621 01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:27,559 Speaker 2: What is it? 1622 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:31,560 Speaker 1: What the Mod Hardy rushing yardist. 1623 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:38,160 Speaker 2: Problem went up? It's high. 1624 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 7: It's high. 1625 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,960 Speaker 1: Okay, so he's cooled off a little bit. He's he's 1626 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 1: cooled off a little bit. And this A and M 1627 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:49,720 Speaker 1: defense is pretty dang good. They're not great tacklers though. Yeah, 1628 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,600 Speaker 1: here's this is This is a tricky This is a 1629 01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 1: tricky thing to do. You kind of have to hold 1630 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 1: your nose and do it. But if you want another 1631 01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:01,799 Speaker 1: over Hardy today, it's hard to do. That's a big number. 1632 01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you they do not tackle well. It's 1633 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,720 Speaker 1: like the Achilles heel of Texas. A and M. 1634 01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 4: How about here's an under possibility for you. How about 1635 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:13,600 Speaker 4: L J. 1636 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:14,160 Speaker 2: Martin? 1637 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 4: Do I like BYU running back. Yeah, but seventy and 1638 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:22,080 Speaker 4: a half rushing yards. This is a fantastic Texas Tech front. 1639 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:25,360 Speaker 4: They could be behind by a lot. Gamescript could be 1640 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,560 Speaker 4: your friend. I like LJ. Martin under seventy and a 1641 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 4: half rush. 1642 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 2: I like that a lot. 1643 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 7: I like that a lot. 1644 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 5: Diego Pabia underpassing yard screw. If they are head against Auburn, who's. 1645 01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,719 Speaker 7: Got a really good defense, that's another overlooked all. 1646 01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 4: Right, coming up next, It's a very sad story, but 1647 01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 4: an awesome gesture. Ah, good morning, welcome in, happy Saturday 1648 01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,600 Speaker 4: to you, as we are one hour away from kickoff. 1649 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,439 Speaker 4: And how about this the biggest game of the day, 1650 01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 4: at least the only top ten matchup, number seven BYU 1651 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,720 Speaker 4: against number eight Texas Tech. We get it out in 1652 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 4: less than an hour from now that noon eastern kick time. 1653 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 4: And how about this man? That pointspread is growing, It 1654 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,120 Speaker 4: is alive. You look at Texas Tech. They are now 1655 01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 4: favored by twelve and a half. The total is steadily 1656 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 4: ticking down. Now it's forty nine and a half. I 1657 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,559 Speaker 4: feel like there needs to be an auctioneer over here 1658 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 4: where it's like, hey, ten, let me hear ten, Let 1659 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,640 Speaker 4: me hear Dan eleven and let me hear eleven and 1660 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 4: a half. 1661 01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 7: Eleven. 1662 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 4: I mean we got twelve and a half, twelve and 1663 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 4: a half, we're up to twelve and a half now, man, 1664 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,479 Speaker 4: no buy back on BYU either, and we might get 1665 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 4: some win. We're thinking maybe thirty mile per hour wind 1666 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:35,560 Speaker 4: over there in Lubbock. And these aren't prolific passing offenses. 1667 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:39,760 Speaker 4: Baron Morton is listed as probable. He's going today for 1668 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,439 Speaker 4: Texas Tech. So they get their starting quarterback in there. 1669 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 4: But in BYU, man, they go slow, you know, slow 1670 01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 4: it down. They're not the old Phoenix Sun seven seconds 1671 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 4: or less offense. Right BYU is like, let's be methodical, 1672 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,759 Speaker 4: let's be slow, let's grind this scheme to a screeching halt. 1673 01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 4: So what do you think twelve and a half now 1674 01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 4: for the Red Raid, Rich, what's your what's your gut 1675 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:03,320 Speaker 4: feeling in this one? 1676 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1677 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean when when I look at this game and 1678 01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 1: I think about what we heard from Seamus earlier, b 1679 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: Yu is due for a loss at some point, you 1680 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,880 Speaker 1: know what I mean, And and I think that I 1681 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 1: think that day has arrived. I also will say that 1682 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: based on you know, some of the things that we 1683 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,439 Speaker 1: know about these two teams. I like b A y 1684 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 1: US defense pretty good. I think Texas Tech, especially on 1685 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:39,560 Speaker 1: their edge, really are chaos generators, is the way I 1686 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,040 Speaker 1: would like to generators. 1687 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:43,040 Speaker 2: I love that they've got. 1688 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 1: Ninety five QB pressures on the season. I mean, they 1689 01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 1: just wreak havoc. 1690 01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:50,639 Speaker 2: I think. 1691 01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:54,560 Speaker 1: I think that, coupled with the fact that l J. 1692 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: Martin is doubtful for this game, and this is a 1693 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 1: heavy rushing offense for BYU, and the centerpiece of this 1694 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,600 Speaker 1: offense today is going to have to really rest on 1695 01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,960 Speaker 1: Bachmeier's shoulders, and they are a very methodical offense, I 1696 01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,559 Speaker 1: would be more comfortable taking the under. I think that 1697 01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,479 Speaker 1: it could be a close game, So I'm not in 1698 01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 1: love with taking Texas Tech. But then again, could I 1699 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,879 Speaker 1: see it. I could see both ways. I could see 1700 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: I could see them getting blown out. I could see them. 1701 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 1: I could see this being a close game in terms 1702 01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 1: of BYU getting blown out. I could see it being 1703 01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 1: close game. However, I don't think the score is going 1704 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 1: to soar very high because specifically of the way BYU 1705 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:43,519 Speaker 1: plays defense and also some of the limitations they may 1706 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 1: have offensively today. 1707 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 2: So I would prefer to take the under in this game. 1708 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 5: So I'll tell you what I did, and then I'll 1709 01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,160 Speaker 5: tell you where I'm at now, because I bet the 1710 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 5: under last night BYU's team total under twenty and a 1711 01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 5: half last night at minus a dollar twenty five. If 1712 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 5: you go to bed MGM right now, that's a minus 1713 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 5: a dollar sixty. So I was going to give that 1714 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,040 Speaker 5: out in rapid fire unless we amend the rules in 1715 01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 5: some way. I don't think that's eligible anymore, and I 1716 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 5: wouldn't play at any lower than that. I think twenty 1717 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 5: is a key number in the total world, right you 1718 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,280 Speaker 5: don't twenty one doesn't matter as much to me. I mean, 1719 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 5: how often new teams just score three touchdowns and no 1720 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,000 Speaker 5: field goals? 1721 01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,719 Speaker 7: So I would the twenty is important. 1722 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 5: So I wouldn't play minus one sixty because it just 1723 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 5: it's just too juicy, and you know. 1724 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 7: Crazy things can happen. 1725 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 5: Now that the numbers kind of getting stretched out here 1726 01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 5: to thirteen, I didn't see some thirteen and a half. 1727 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,679 Speaker 5: I would probably lay off this. I just I think 1728 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 5: you know this was ten earlier in the week. It's 1729 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,160 Speaker 5: a big it's a big stretch in a low total game. 1730 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 5: The handicap, though, is very one sided. It does feel 1731 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 5: hammered or nail on the defensive side. I think for 1732 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 5: Texas Tech. I think Texas Tech guys and you know 1733 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 5: we talk about their you know, skill position groups a lot, 1734 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 5: you know me and of course Rich like we're big 1735 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 5: in the trenches here. I think Texas Tech might have 1736 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:06,040 Speaker 5: the best offensive defensive line combo in the country. Honestly, 1737 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,280 Speaker 5: they are deep, they are talented, they are physical. The 1738 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,960 Speaker 5: edge rushers Bailey and Height second and third in PFF 1739 01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,720 Speaker 5: pass rush grade. Again, Ruben Brain Junior is first Miami's 1740 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,800 Speaker 5: star edge rusher. Texas Tech has the second and third 1741 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 5: highest graded pass rushers in the country. That is really 1742 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,439 Speaker 5: good depth. I like their d tackles Holmes and Hunter. 1743 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 5: They're both big and physical. On the other side, their 1744 01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,040 Speaker 5: offensive line is the same, like this is a beefy. 1745 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,160 Speaker 5: This is gonna be a big, physical football game. I'll 1746 01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,639 Speaker 5: give BYU some credit to BYU is a big team 1747 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 5: as well. Chase Roberts there stud receiver six four two fifteen, LJ. 1748 01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 5: Martin six two two twenty, the tight end Carson six 1749 01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,560 Speaker 5: four to two fifty. Every offensive lineman is six to 1750 01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,200 Speaker 5: four or above three ten or higher. I mean, this 1751 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,639 Speaker 5: is again, this is going to be Goliath versus Goliath today. 1752 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,640 Speaker 5: Now the difference is I think BYU's defensive line and 1753 01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 5: their defense in general is just a little bit thinner, 1754 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:58,599 Speaker 5: and I think that's where Texas Tech can kind. 1755 01:25:58,520 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 7: Of wear them down. 1756 01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,960 Speaker 5: I think Blachmeyer's game, like, I think we're gonna be 1757 01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:03,960 Speaker 5: talking about this Bachmeyer kid for a couple of years. 1758 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 7: He's he's a baller. 1759 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 5: The ball just jumps off of his arm, doesn't really 1760 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 5: care too much about the fundamentals. Kind of reminds me 1761 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,720 Speaker 5: of like an athlete who's just good at everything and 1762 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 5: he can play quarterback. Really thick kid. The comp is 1763 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,640 Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield. I think, short, choppy steps, a lot of 1764 01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 5: horsepower with the arm. So I'm excited to watch him 1765 01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,679 Speaker 5: play a in a tough environment against a really good 1766 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,920 Speaker 5: defensive line and see how he handles as a freshman 1767 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,599 Speaker 5: what is going to be probably the most difficult matchup 1768 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:29,320 Speaker 5: he's seen all year. 1769 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the weird part for me, because Bachmeyer has 1770 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,679 Speaker 4: played well to this point, like you just said, shared, 1771 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 4: but I look at the competition. This is clearly a 1772 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,439 Speaker 4: step up and what has BYU routinely been able to do. 1773 01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,400 Speaker 4: They've been able to play with the lead. They have 1774 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:47,360 Speaker 4: been They've they came back against Colorado, they came back 1775 01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,880 Speaker 4: against Arizona. I'm not saying it's exclusively playing with the lead, 1776 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,679 Speaker 4: but more times than not, that's what they're doing. It's 1777 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,840 Speaker 4: not their you know, their cup of tea. It's not 1778 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 4: their strong suit to just be like, hey, Bear, we're 1779 01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:01,680 Speaker 4: down by seven, team, man, just lead us to the 1780 01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 4: promised Land. You know, that's just not where he is. 1781 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 4: But he's a freshman quarterback and all things considered, he's 1782 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 4: played very well. I just think it's a giant step 1783 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 4: up in competition today. And if they find themselves down 1784 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 4: and maybe down big, it's a completely different scenario for Bear. 1785 01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,160 Speaker 4: So and I look, man, we need to start a 1786 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,000 Speaker 4: metal band called Havoc, you know we need Has anyone 1787 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 4: done that yet? That's not a table, man, that's an 1788 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 4: unchecked box right there. But the Red Raiders, man, So, 1789 01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 4: they forced twenty turnovers. That's number two in the country. 1790 01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:36,680 Speaker 4: They're fifth in three and outs. Yeah, that's forty four 1791 01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 4: percent of the time they force a three and out. 1792 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,559 Speaker 4: That's almost half the time. The offense is like, all right, 1793 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 4: let's go three and out. You know, three players got 1794 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,559 Speaker 4: a punt, and also Texas Tech they rank in the 1795 01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:51,000 Speaker 4: top twenty in sack rate and they don't blitz very 1796 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 4: often either, So that's a lot of havoc to deal 1797 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:57,720 Speaker 4: with if your Bear and that BYU offense, And like 1798 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,720 Speaker 4: Rich said, with LJ. Martin, he's bang up. He's their 1799 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 4: leading rusher. He's rushed for almost eight hundred yards this season. 1800 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 4: So if he doesn't go at all, or he's compromised 1801 01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 4: or ineffective against a great Texas Tech front man, it's 1802 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:15,160 Speaker 4: even more on Bear there to do his thing, running, throwing, 1803 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 4: the whole thing, that's gonna be very, very difficult for 1804 01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,640 Speaker 4: BYU to match points that the points. Brett's starting to 1805 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,479 Speaker 4: get out of hand at this point. I loved this bet, 1806 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 4: you know, a few points ago. But man, the market 1807 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:29,800 Speaker 4: has not been our friend here for rapid Fire at 1808 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 4: the end of the show, right before kickoff, because man, 1809 01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,640 Speaker 4: it's just gotten so high where you're a complete square. 1810 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 4: You know, if you're wrong, if you lay the points 1811 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 4: when you could have gotten much better value earlier in 1812 01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:44,080 Speaker 4: the week. But it is what it is, man, It's 1813 01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 4: like rapid Fire is ten minutes before kickoff, we can't 1814 01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,360 Speaker 4: move that time, you know, So the market has not 1815 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,919 Speaker 4: been our friend on this one. If you like Texas Tech. 1816 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly correct, you know. 1817 01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 1: And I think the biggest matchup in this game is 1818 01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 1: gonna be Bachmeier his legs, especially against this Texas Tech defense. 1819 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 1: You know, the Cougars rely pretty much solely on zone 1820 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 1: read concepts. You know, they they like to you know, 1821 01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:15,880 Speaker 1: go inside zone, outside zone variations on where the QB 1822 01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:17,840 Speaker 1: inserts on the zone read. 1823 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:20,519 Speaker 2: But but without l J. 1824 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,920 Speaker 1: Martin, you know, it's gonna fall more on him than 1825 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:27,880 Speaker 1: it is going to be on whoever his replacement is 1826 01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:32,000 Speaker 1: or in terms of whether you're thinking yourself, I'm gonna 1827 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,200 Speaker 1: hand it to him because there's no good options on 1828 01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 1: this play. Typically you may pull it in that case 1829 01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:41,559 Speaker 1: because you're healthier. And so Bachmeyer's got a heavy load 1830 01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 1: on his shoulders here. Again, that which is the reason 1831 01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,559 Speaker 1: why the under is singing to me. I feel like 1832 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,479 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a more methodical game. And also Texas 1833 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,320 Speaker 1: Tech against this Cougar's defense, they're gonna want to stay 1834 01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:55,640 Speaker 1: out of passing down situations because the Cougar's you know 1835 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,360 Speaker 1: men coverage, you know. 1836 01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 2: Cover one looks they're pretty stifling. 1837 01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,560 Speaker 1: They're really good, as a matter of fact, playing some 1838 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:09,519 Speaker 1: man to man coverage options and their Cover three, which 1839 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:10,920 Speaker 1: is more zone underneath. 1840 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:12,840 Speaker 2: They're they're versatile in that way. 1841 01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:14,600 Speaker 1: So they're going to present you with a bunch of 1842 01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,080 Speaker 1: different back end platforms that you're gonna have to deal 1843 01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:22,519 Speaker 1: with from the from the pocket, and it's it's hard 1844 01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,919 Speaker 1: to diagnose, and they do a great job in coverage, 1845 01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:30,200 Speaker 1: So a tall task for the Red Raiders. 1846 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:31,440 Speaker 2: BYU. 1847 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:35,320 Speaker 1: Cougars probably get handed their first loss, and again it 1848 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:38,600 Speaker 1: could be by you know, two touchdowns. It could be 1849 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,120 Speaker 1: a closer game than that. But one thing I think 1850 01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:44,519 Speaker 1: is going to be the focus for me is I 1851 01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,439 Speaker 1: don't know how many points can be scored in this 1852 01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:51,880 Speaker 1: game because of how efficient the defenses are and also 1853 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:55,680 Speaker 1: just the style of these offenses who are facing each 1854 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 1: other today. 1855 01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,440 Speaker 7: Up the thirteen and a half. Now that MGM, wow. 1856 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:04,760 Speaker 5: Minus one oh five splits two of this game very noteworthy. 1857 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,559 Speaker 5: So you're not only getting a discount on BYU now 1858 01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 5: significant discount with the Steam, but you're also getting a 1859 01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:16,240 Speaker 5: discount on the line, and that five cents matters, guys. 1860 01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 5: I'll be honest, I like Texas Tech. I put him 1861 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,960 Speaker 5: in the contest at ten. You know, the lines that 1862 01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:24,559 Speaker 5: we get for the contest here in town are very stale, right, 1863 01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:28,120 Speaker 5: They just they screenshot them basically on a Thursday and 1864 01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:30,800 Speaker 5: they say these are the lines, and regardless of what 1865 01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 5: happens between Thursday and Saturday, those are the lines. So 1866 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 5: on Friday when I put my contest picks in, this 1867 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 5: was ten. Now it's thirteen and a half. And even 1868 01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,600 Speaker 5: though I do have Texas Deck in the contest, I 1869 01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:44,120 Speaker 5: might have to bet byu here. 1870 01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:46,559 Speaker 7: I'll throw you the wrinkle. 1871 01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 5: Mark Lefwich the offensive coordinator of Texas Tech. He was 1872 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,519 Speaker 5: coaching high school football eight years ago. Awesome story. Now 1873 01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:56,439 Speaker 5: he's a power for coordinator. He is a really interesting story, 1874 01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,679 Speaker 5: very sharp kid, a lot of fun stuff. 1875 01:31:59,760 --> 01:31:59,920 Speaker 2: Right. 1876 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,800 Speaker 5: This is a fon exciting, explosive offense. They play really fast. 1877 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,360 Speaker 5: And when I say they played really fast, when I 1878 01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 5: was watching the All twenty two on Texas Tech, it's 1879 01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,599 Speaker 5: hard to kind of gauge how fast they run because 1880 01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 5: you just cut from play to play and you don't 1881 01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:14,799 Speaker 5: see the in between. But you can kind of tell 1882 01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:18,360 Speaker 5: based off of the down and distance, Like the guys 1883 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 5: who are holding the first down sticks are not even 1884 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 5: set yet when they're snapping another play. That's how fast 1885 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,600 Speaker 5: Texas Tech runs. Yeah, the question is Baron. Morton's a 1886 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,920 Speaker 5: little bit banged up here. I noticed it last week. 1887 01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 5: He was overstriding a little bit. He's got that lower 1888 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,120 Speaker 5: body injury that kept him out of a game. I 1889 01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:35,840 Speaker 5: don't know how healthy he is, so that might slow 1890 01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:37,680 Speaker 5: down Texas Tech a little bit in this game, and 1891 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,120 Speaker 5: it also might make their offense a little bit more 1892 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 5: inaccurate and inefficient. I love their running game. Jacoby Williams 1893 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:46,880 Speaker 5: is a freak five ten one eighty five. Cameron Dickey 1894 01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,880 Speaker 5: also a kid who's unafraid to stick his nose in 1895 01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,200 Speaker 5: places that don't smell good if you catch my drift, 1896 01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 5: and I really love their tight end. Terrence Carter needs 1897 01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,320 Speaker 5: to be accounted for a very tough tackle. But I 1898 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,320 Speaker 5: think byus up for this challenge. I think now that 1899 01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 5: we're thirteen and a half and we're getting a five 1900 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,760 Speaker 5: set discount on the splits, I think BYU might have 1901 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:06,559 Speaker 5: to be a rapid fireplay. I think we have to 1902 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 5: just fade these crazy steam moves guys, because sometimes. 1903 01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:11,599 Speaker 7: The number moves just a little bit too much. 1904 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,400 Speaker 4: I like LJ. Martin under, like I mentioned, but are 1905 01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:17,519 Speaker 4: we sure he's playing? Are we sure he's going? 1906 01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:22,000 Speaker 1: He could be a scratch he's yeah, questionable as it stands. 1907 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:23,720 Speaker 7: Maybe that's why the line moved. 1908 01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:24,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be. 1909 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,720 Speaker 4: Might be uh maybe another under route with what you're 1910 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,080 Speaker 4: saying there, Jared Barren Morton under two sixty and a 1911 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,679 Speaker 4: half A little bit nicked up for sure. This running 1912 01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:39,240 Speaker 4: game I would expect Cameron Dickie, Jacoby Williams. They can 1913 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:41,920 Speaker 4: run it, like Texas Tech. They don't have the reputation 1914 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,519 Speaker 4: of just lining up and running it, but they can 1915 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:46,640 Speaker 4: do it, and especially in this matchup, I think they 1916 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:48,880 Speaker 4: could have a lot of success. And they rely on 1917 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:50,960 Speaker 4: the ground game quite a bit, where hey, man, to 1918 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,280 Speaker 4: get to two sixty one, you gotta be throwing it 1919 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,040 Speaker 4: quite a bit, and I just don't know that Texas 1920 01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,719 Speaker 4: Tech is going to do that today. So that's something 1921 01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:03,120 Speaker 4: to keep in mind. It's like our pool of potential 1922 01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:05,880 Speaker 4: plays is shrinking. It feels like with the point spread 1923 01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 4: moving and all this stuff, like LJ. Martin maybe not playing. 1924 01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,719 Speaker 4: But one thing to mention, Jared said this in passing, 1925 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,120 Speaker 4: but yeah in BETMGM, you look at this low vig. 1926 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,599 Speaker 4: What does that mean.

Texas 1958 01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:05,800 Speaker 4: Tech's team Barber is a guy named Von Ortiz, and 1959 01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:09,280 Speaker 4: last month his wife, Maddie was critically injured in a 1960 01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 4: car accident that was caused by a drunk driver. We're talking. 1961 01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:16,320 Speaker 4: She was on a ventilator for two weeks underwent multiple surgeries. 1962 01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:19,280 Speaker 4: The couple has a three year old son. Yvon had 1963 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:21,320 Speaker 4: to miss a decent amount of work to help his 1964 01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:24,840 Speaker 4: wife out, and so they started to go fund me 1965 01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:30,360 Speaker 4: and BYU. The fan base heard about this story and 1966 01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:33,160 Speaker 4: helped in a huge way to the tune of helping 1967 01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:36,640 Speaker 4: to raise over one hundred and twenty thousand dollars for 1968 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,639 Speaker 4: this family.

Yeah, I love this story too. I saw it. 1979 01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 1: It's it's one of those it's one of those stories 1980 01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:14,200 Speaker 1: where I don't think I don't think people understand like 1981 01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:18,400 Speaker 1: how limited it is when you're a college football player. 1982 01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:21,240 Speaker 1: You know, you think, oh, well, these are student athletes. 1983 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,880 Speaker 1: They're going to classes and you know they're spending a 1984 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 1: lot of time doing other things. And the truth is 1985 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:28,439 Speaker 1: you don't have a ton of time to do a lot, 1986 01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, during the offseason. Sure, there's times when it's 1987 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:35,280 Speaker 1: just springball or winter conditioning when you're on campus, but 1988 01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 1: like in season, your days are long, you're stretched really thin. 1989 01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these guys, even though we 1990 01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,280 Speaker 1: hear all about the name image and likeness, name image 1991 01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:47,799 Speaker 1: and likeness, a lot of these guys need their degrees. 1992 01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:50,519 Speaker 1: You know, they're not going to be playing football after college, 1993 01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 1: so they're studying hard. They're they're making sure that they're 1994 01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,759 Speaker 1: you know, crossing their eyes and dotting or or crossing 1995 01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:01,840 Speaker 1: their t's dotting their eyes. A team barber, that's not 1996 01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 1: something that every team has. Usually it's a guy who 1997 01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:10,640 Speaker 1: one of your players meets, does a great job, you know, 1998 01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,360 Speaker 1: lining him up, and then all of a sudden he 1999 01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:16,080 Speaker 1: puts them on with the rest of the team and 2000 01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:19,760 Speaker 1: it's like everybody gets their haircut, their schedule appointments. It's 2001 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:22,479 Speaker 1: somebody who sort of earns their way into having the 2002 01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:26,360 Speaker 1: privilege of coming down to the facility. And not everybody 2003 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 1: goes to the barber, obviously, but it's like a bonding thing. 2004 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:30,960 Speaker 2: It's good for the team. 2005 01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,320 Speaker 1: It's another opportunity for guys to spend time with each 2006 01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,040 Speaker 1: other off the field, and you get to know these 2007 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,879 Speaker 1: people obviously really well. And when something like this happens 2008 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:44,400 Speaker 1: to somebody who's within your orbit, what you just said 2009 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 1: is right, Brian, Like, at the end. 2010 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:47,479 Speaker 2: Of the day, we're all just people. 2011 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,679 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to make it things happen, and when bad 2012 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:55,439 Speaker 1: things happen, you know, it's not an expectation, but it's 2013 01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:58,400 Speaker 1: the right thing to do to step up and man, 2014 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:01,160 Speaker 1: oh man, for it to be not just the players, 2015 01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:07,040 Speaker 1: but the fans contributing to this barber's family, the wife 2016 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:11,479 Speaker 1: obviously having this medical situation. That is absolutely amazing stuff. 2017 01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:15,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's the stuff that's underreported. We 2018 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:18,639 Speaker 1: hear about all the ye horrible things a lot more, 2019 01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:19,519 Speaker 1: but this is great. 2020 01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:24,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't get as many clicks as the negative stuff, 2021 01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:26,719 Speaker 5: although it should, it really should. 2022 01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:29,439 Speaker 7: This has been a crazy line movement game though, Guys. 2023 01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:34,080 Speaker 5: Honestly, I saw a note that recently, if you just 2024 01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:39,400 Speaker 5: fade these big steam moves, you're actually on top. It's 2025 01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,640 Speaker 5: like a fifty five percent Like if you're on the 2026 01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:44,080 Speaker 5: right side of the steam. So say you bet Texas 2027 01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 5: Tech early at ten, it's like a fifty five percent 2028 01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:49,160 Speaker 5: win rate this year. And then on the flip side too, 2029 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 5: if you faded the three point moves in college football 2030 01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:54,599 Speaker 5: this year and you bet BYU plus thirteen and a half, 2031 01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:56,519 Speaker 5: you're also on the right side of it, on the 2032 01:39:56,520 --> 01:40:00,240 Speaker 5: positive side of the ledger. So it's kind of a 2033 01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,360 Speaker 5: a lesson in market dynamics, which sounds super boring. 2034 01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 7: I'm not trying to get I love that you see. 2035 01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,840 Speaker 5: On you guys, right, but it it it's kind of 2036 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,599 Speaker 5: it's kind of a lesson about it really doesn't matter 2037 01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,920 Speaker 5: what team you bet, the number matters more. Right, we 2038 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,160 Speaker 5: thought we Crack says this all the time, bet numbers, 2039 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,160 Speaker 5: not teams, and it sounds super cliche, but he's right 2040 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:23,439 Speaker 5: because at the end of the day, when you see 2041 01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:25,920 Speaker 5: these significant moves, and I don't know the exact impetus 2042 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:27,519 Speaker 5: behind it. It could be the Martin injury, it could 2043 01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:28,880 Speaker 5: be something else, could just be a lot of people 2044 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,760 Speaker 5: on Texas Tech. Same thing with the organ situation, like 2045 01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:33,800 Speaker 5: we'll see what their number moves to if that, if 2046 01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,840 Speaker 5: that injury report hits in a couple hours and you know, 2047 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:37,760 Speaker 5: the whole offense is out like that, maybe that goes 2048 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:39,360 Speaker 5: to three and then you have to bet org In 2049 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,439 Speaker 5: at three. Right, So I think you just have to 2050 01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:46,080 Speaker 5: ignore some of the noise and and just bet these numbers. 2051 01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:49,599 Speaker 5: I hate it, but I have to. I almost enforced 2052 01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:51,200 Speaker 5: to take BYU plus thirteen and a half to that. 2053 01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:55,000 Speaker 4: Okay, life in the SEC. Let's turn our attention over there. 2054 01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:59,200 Speaker 4: We've got LSU at number four Alabama, FAMA favored by 2055 01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,479 Speaker 4: ten and a half. No Brian Kelly has been fired 2056 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:07,360 Speaker 4: interim coach Frank Wilson, and Bama has beaten four ranked opponents, 2057 01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:11,920 Speaker 4: and they've got some nice wins. But if you look skeptically, 2058 01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:15,960 Speaker 4: you know, critically at some of the things that they've done, 2059 01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:19,120 Speaker 4: it's like, well, you know, you look at the Georgia game, 2060 01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:21,880 Speaker 4: there was a big drop in the second half. Kirby Smart, 2061 01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:23,800 Speaker 4: doesn't go for it on fourth down, He went for 2062 01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:26,640 Speaker 4: it on fourth down, doesn't kick the field goal. That 2063 01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:29,360 Speaker 4: was a big deal. At Tennessee. The pick six right 2064 01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:33,320 Speaker 4: before halftime, huge turnaround in that game. They probably should 2065 01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:36,400 Speaker 4: have lost to South Carolina. Right, So this Bama team, 2066 01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:39,000 Speaker 4: what do you think ten and a half rivalry game? 2067 01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:40,840 Speaker 4: I mean, it's not as sexy as it is in 2068 01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:45,000 Speaker 4: a lot of years. But LSU plus ten and a half. 2069 01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:46,920 Speaker 4: You're biting on that there, Rich. 2070 01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:51,800 Speaker 1: You couldn't meet a hotter team than Alabama right now. 2071 01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,360 Speaker 1: That was a good time for a bye week after 2072 01:41:56,439 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 1: defeating four consecutive ranked opponents, I mean, finally getting a 2073 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:06,280 Speaker 1: little fresh Ty Simpson. I know, Jared, you've been waving 2074 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:08,599 Speaker 1: the banner for Ty Simpson for a long time. 2075 01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:09,400 Speaker 2: You know. 2076 01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,200 Speaker 1: I think everybody seemed to overlook this guy heading into 2077 01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:17,160 Speaker 1: the season, including myself. Yeah, I was more thinking about 2078 01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:21,439 Speaker 1: Kaylin de Boor and you know, him continuing to settle 2079 01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:24,320 Speaker 1: his culture in as opposed to really looking at the 2080 01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:27,920 Speaker 1: five star who shined this season and is deservedly so 2081 01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:31,400 Speaker 1: in the Heisman conversation, and then you look at LSU 2082 01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:34,599 Speaker 1: and you think, okay, also good time for a bye week. 2083 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:38,960 Speaker 1: The departure of Brian Kelly opens the door, but also 2084 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:43,160 Speaker 1: it potentially creates a little chaos inside of the building. 2085 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 1: Nussmeier has been an interesting quarterback to watch this season. 2086 01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 1: I think he's got unbelievable talent, but he really also 2087 01:42:57,320 --> 01:43:01,599 Speaker 1: has this high risk potentiality that has manifested this year. 2088 01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,920 Speaker 1: He's kind of careless with the football, and when you're 2089 01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:07,439 Speaker 1: a Maverick and you think you can fit the ball 2090 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:11,360 Speaker 1: in spots that you really can't. Or sometimes you try 2091 01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:15,519 Speaker 1: to throw a pass to a receiver who's covered and 2092 01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:17,679 Speaker 1: it just comes up the wrong way. 2093 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:19,360 Speaker 2: It can be bad luck. 2094 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:25,160 Speaker 1: But Nussmeyer, he's leading the SEC with twelve or excuse me, 2095 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:29,960 Speaker 1: he's still having a tough season turning over the football 2096 01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,840 Speaker 1: after leading the SEC with twelve interceptions last year. So 2097 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,440 Speaker 1: it's one of those things. I think I like Alabama. 2098 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would bet Alabama minus ten 2099 01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,320 Speaker 1: and a half or whatever it's at at this point, 2100 01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:49,120 Speaker 1: but if I had a lean, I think that's my direction. 2101 01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:53,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, nus Meyer is an intriguing case. I think we 2102 01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,439 Speaker 5: expected a lot more from him this year. The turnover 2103 01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,200 Speaker 5: where he plays are substantial, although he did a good 2104 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:01,880 Speaker 5: job limiting them against A and M. 2105 01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:04,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for you. 2106 01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:04,320 Speaker 2: Guys. 2107 01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 5: Are finally coming around on ty Simpson. Huh, finally getting 2108 01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:10,120 Speaker 5: there with Bama. Now, listen, this is a This is 2109 01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:12,280 Speaker 5: a tough this is a tough spot. It is because 2110 01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:14,479 Speaker 5: elis he's gonna throw the kitchen sink at him. I 2111 01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:16,800 Speaker 5: will say this, I think LSU secondary is pretty solid, 2112 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:21,040 Speaker 5: top thirty in coverage grade this year. Mansord Delanne. Really 2113 01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:24,120 Speaker 5: good corner out of a votech transfer, probably going to 2114 01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:25,800 Speaker 5: be a first round pick. He had a third round 2115 01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:28,320 Speaker 5: grade last year, but he wanted to prove it and 2116 01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:30,080 Speaker 5: come to the SEC and say I can play at 2117 01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 5: the highest level. And he's done a good job this year. 2118 01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:34,320 Speaker 5: I think he's going to be a first rounder. He's 2119 01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:36,880 Speaker 5: going to be tested this week. Doesn't panic, doesn't commit penalty. 2120 01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,160 Speaker 5: He's only been targeted twenty five times, eight receptions, no 2121 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,240 Speaker 5: touchdowns all year. It's only been targeted seven times in 2122 01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:42,800 Speaker 5: the last four games. That's how good he is. He's 2123 01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,840 Speaker 5: playing in the SEC and he's not getting targeted. That 2124 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:48,799 Speaker 5: is really impressive. Their other two corners are young, but talented. 2125 01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:52,200 Speaker 5: Woodland smaller one hundred and sixty five pounds retrit freshman, 2126 01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:54,360 Speaker 5: struggled the last two weeks against Vandy and Ole Miss 2127 01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,240 Speaker 5: and DJ Pikett true freshman, five star, really talented. How 2128 01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:00,439 Speaker 5: about this six five, one hundred ninety five pound He 2129 01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:04,200 Speaker 5: plays corner, not power forward. He plays corner in college 2130 01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,880 Speaker 5: football a freshman six', five one hundred and ninety five 2131 01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:11,160 Speaker 5: Pound really talented, kid but can he hold up against 2132 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:14,519 Speaker 5: WHAT i would consider the best receiving trio in the, Country, 2133 01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:15,760 Speaker 5: Horton bernard And. 2134 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:17,400 Speaker 7: Williams williams of. 2135 01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:21,120 Speaker 5: Course the slot receiver six, foot really Shifty, bernard the 2136 01:45:21,120 --> 01:45:22,559 Speaker 5: line him up all over the. Field six to two 2137 01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:24,800 Speaker 5: transfer From Michigan state also came From washington with The, 2138 01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,200 Speaker 5: boar and Then horton's really the big stud The Miami 2139 01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:30,160 Speaker 5: transfer six to Four ALPHA x. Receiver they are just 2140 01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:31,679 Speaker 5: so dynamic at this receiving. 2141 01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:33,520 Speaker 7: Group you would Expect. 2142 01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:35,679 Speaker 5: Jan miller to be a week. Healthier he's been banged 2143 01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:37,960 Speaker 5: up this. Year The bama running game has not impressed. 2144 01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,719 Speaker 5: Me The bama offensive line hasn't impressed. Me the issue 2145 01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:42,479 Speaker 5: is they struggle against speed. 2146 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:43,880 Speaker 7: Rush we saw. 2147 01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:45,800 Speaker 5: It Against, missoo we saw it Against South carolina's got 2148 01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:48,920 Speaker 5: a very good pass. RUSH lsu doesn't have That Harold. 2149 01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:49,920 Speaker 7: Perkins he's kind. 2150 01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:49,960 Speaker 2: Of a. 2151 01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:53,439 Speaker 7: Misfit right. Now they don't really know where to play. 2152 01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 5: Him AND lsu doesn't have that true edge speed rusher 2153 01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,280 Speaker 5: THAT i think is gonna give The bama offensive line, 2154 01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 5: problems which has given them problems this.

Fbs it's so many more 2221 01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:28,759 Speaker 1: than we're used to, seeing and it's because of. 2222 01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:31,800 Speaker 2: The pressure that's being placed on these. 2223 01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,840 Speaker 1: Schools, now these programs because of the expansion of the 2224 01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:38,360 Speaker 1: college football.

Today they play one more important 2240 01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:23,640 Speaker 5: game this. Year it's the last game of the. Year 2241 01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:25,760 Speaker 5: it's At. Michigan that'll be the last game that we 2242 01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:28,799 Speaker 5: really get up For Ohio state in the regular. Season 2243 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:32,120 Speaker 5: and then is the is the world? Ready is the 2244 01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:35,719 Speaker 5: universe ready for one versus? Two Ohio state Versus indiana 2245 01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:38,040 Speaker 5: in three four? Weeks the big ti championship. GAME i, 2246 01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:39,360 Speaker 5: mean that's gonna be awesome if we get. 2247 01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:40,720 Speaker 7: IT i think we'll get. 2248 01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:44,080 Speaker 5: It right, Now Ohio state's about a three and a 2249 01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:47,439 Speaker 5: half point favorite Against indiana in that. Game could have 2250 01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:51,200 Speaker 5: changed between now and. Then, SURE i don't see it going, down. 2251 01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:53,160 Speaker 5: THOUGH i JUST i don't see a world Of Ohio 2252 01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,720 Speaker 5: state unless The michigan bug bites them. AGAIN i just 2253 01:50:55,800 --> 01:51:00,000 Speaker 5: don't see a world where they're not a significant favorite 2254 01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:02,400 Speaker 5: in that, game at least by a field. GOAL i 2255 01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:04,840 Speaker 5: do think they are head and shoulders the best team 2256 01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:06,800 Speaker 5: in the country right, now and a lot of it's 2257 01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:10,120 Speaker 5: because Of julian's. Saying and that's to me the part 2258 01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:13,000 Speaker 5: about their handicap that we were very uncertain. About we 2259 01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:14,639 Speaker 5: knew their defense was going to be, good we weren't 2260 01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,200 Speaker 5: sure how. Good but now that we've Seen patricia kind 2261 01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:19,400 Speaker 5: of settle, in it's just as good as it, was 2262 01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:22,200 Speaker 5: if not better than last. Year we knew their receivers 2263 01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 5: were going to be. Elite they're running games a little, 2264 01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:27,519 Speaker 5: questionable but they have experience and they've got some beef. There, 2265 01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,599 Speaker 5: DONALDSON i like. Him The West virginia, transfer and they 2266 01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:31,719 Speaker 5: got a couple other youngsters that are. Solid the offensive line's. 2267 01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,040 Speaker 5: Okay the biggest question is Was julian saying going to 2268 01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:36,960 Speaker 5: be able to take that? STEP i think he. Has 2269 01:51:37,040 --> 01:51:38,560 Speaker 5: he looks like one of the best quarterbacks in the 2270 01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:42,000 Speaker 5: country right. Now that's going to be the question for 2271 01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:45,520 Speaker 5: him down the. Stretch can he continue to make strides 2272 01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:48,599 Speaker 5: because if he's better Than Will, howard this team's better 2273 01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:49,240 Speaker 5: than it was last. 2274 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:49,680 Speaker 7: Year and that's. 2275 01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:53,360 Speaker 4: Scary all, right real, FAST i you Against Penn.

Team but the betting, public they're 2279 01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:08,760 Speaker 4: mounting up and riding with The Nitney lions over, here 2280 01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:11,560 Speaker 4: right the hook is gone no longer fourteen and a 2281 01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:16,280 Speaker 4: half Now Penn state just fourteen point home. Underdogs the one, thing, 2282 01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:21,599 Speaker 4: though Is indiana has absolutely clabbered bad teams this, year 2283 01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:24,240 Speaker 4: and make no, Mistake Penn state is a bad football. 2284 01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:27,000 Speaker 4: Team so that's the scary. THING i you could open 2285 01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:29,840 Speaker 4: a can, today but, hey the hook is. Gone for 2286 01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:32,000 Speaker 4: what it's, worth there's some betters out, There they're, like 2287 01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,519 Speaker 4: give me The Nitney lions plus.

Mess 2295 01:52:55,960 --> 01:53:00,839 Speaker 1: singleton has been an. MIA i, mean it's Been allen 2296 01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:04,400 Speaker 1: for the majority of the. Season After singleton turned into 2297 01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,519 Speaker 1: turned in just under eleven hundred yards rushing a season, 2298 01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:09,839 Speaker 1: ago he's averaging like less. 2299 01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:10,559 Speaker 2: Than four yards per. 2300 01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:12,439 Speaker 1: CARRY i don't know what it, is it's three point 2301 01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:16,280 Speaker 1: eight something like. That it's been kind of. Abysmal Drew 2302 01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:20,920 Speaker 1: aller's replacement a, Quarterback bachmeyer has been pretty, rough throwing. 2303 01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:24,240 Speaker 1: Interceptions in the two and a half games he's started 2304 01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:29,280 Speaker 1: now or played, In he's only completing just over sixty 2305 01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:33,840 Speaker 1: percent of his. Passes this offense is a struggle bus to. Watch, 2306 01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:37,840 Speaker 1: defensively Though Penn state still got a good. Defense they 2307 01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:40,439 Speaker 1: can wake up any. Time here's the. Question i'll leave 2308 01:53:40,479 --> 01:53:43,360 Speaker 1: it For jarrett to answer, it because My american minute is. 2309 01:53:43,439 --> 01:53:46,920 Speaker 1: Up is the defense good enough to slow down this 2310 01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:51,240 Speaker 1: machine That signetti has created With mendoza at the helm In. 2311 01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:56,000 Speaker 5: Indiana i'll give you a some nuggets that might make 2312 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:59,000 Speaker 5: you think that they. CAN i don't know if they'll execute, 2313 01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:02,559 Speaker 5: it But mendoza's efficiency has dropped considerably under pressure this, 2314 01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:07,479 Speaker 5: year adjusted acuracy drops by about twenty, percent and against 2315 01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:08,680 Speaker 5: the blitz it drops by about ten. 2316 01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:11,280 Speaker 7: Percent, NOW i don't know. 2317 01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:13,559 Speaker 5: What Jim knowles is doing with his millions of dollars 2318 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:15,799 Speaker 5: that he took From Penn state to take this defensive coordinator. 2319 01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:17,960 Speaker 5: JOB i guess it just takes a long time for 2320 01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:20,519 Speaker 5: this thing to settle in like, concrete or it's more, 2321 01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,720 Speaker 5: like you, know slow drying. Concrete but if they can 2322 01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:26,839 Speaker 5: get some pressure On. Mendoza they got a little pressure 2323 01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:29,519 Speaker 5: On saying last. Week BUT i think the receivers For 2324 01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:30,519 Speaker 5: Ohio state are just so. 2325 01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:31,479 Speaker 7: Good it's just. 2326 01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:34,680 Speaker 5: Hard indiana is not as talented at the receiver.
