If the PAC twelve 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: looks like it's not gonna happen, because I don't know 46 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: how it's all gonna work out with the College ball 47 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: playoff and it's gonna be crazy. But we will find 48 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: time to preview those teams throughout. We still have another 49 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 2: you know, over a month until they come back. But 50 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 2: you got to be excited to get the Big Ten 51 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: and the Midwest crowd back in the fold, right, A little. 52 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: Piece of meal die if Hawaii is not a part 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: of that Mountain West package, you know, because I mean 54 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: there's a couple teams that are still a little we 55 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 4: don't know in the Mountain West. I think there's three 56 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: or four teams on the list that said they don't 57 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: know if they're going to come back, even if the 58 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 4: conference says it's going to and Hawaii is on that list. 59 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 4: As far as the PAC twelve goes, I mean, they've 60 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 4: got other things going on besides COVID. Looks like the 61 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 4: Big ten's all bought in. I'm actually a really big 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 4: fan of something that Boatdog Jim thought of, which is 63 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 4: for the championship game in the Big Ten, we'll just 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 4: have all the seeds from the East and the West 65 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: no longer the leaders in the legends play each other, right, 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 4: so potentially Wisconsin, Ohio state, and like a Penn state 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: and yeah, I don't know, you can name it over 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: there on that side, Nebraska, you know, whoever. But I 69 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: think it's great. I mean, people are complaining that we're 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: going to get a reptors an Illinois game on December nineteenth. 71 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: That's the greatest gambling thing you can That's better than 72 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 4: a bowl game. That's better than a lot of bull games. 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 4: So I'll take it. 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: We welcome any and all sports editions for the calendar 75 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: or March getting canceled in the summer. We went through, 76 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: and obviously we hope it all happens safely. I'm glad 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: I didn't take a flyer on, you know, Central Florida 78 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: thinking that because there's only you know, three Power fives, 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: that if like the Big twelve cannibalizes itself and Central 80 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: Florida goes undefeated, you would assume that you're gonna get 81 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: four Power five teams. Now, you're either gonna get the 82 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: most logical ways take up the conference champion from each conference, 83 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: or you know, if two teams in the SEC dominate 84 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: in one of the conferences cannibalized itself. You get take 85 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: two from the SEC or maybe you know Notre Dame 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: and Clemson, So I'm glad I didn't do that. I'm 87 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: gonna to wait for the schedules to come out to 88 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: really tell in the Big Ten, we'll get to those 89 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: calling off content out on Action Network app and Action 90 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: Network dot coms to make sure you check that out, 91 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: and we'll find time over the next month or so 92 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: to make sure that we cover the Big Ten and 93 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: all the fall from the schedule and what that means 94 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: from both the conference and national perspective.

Let's start out with a couple situational. 118 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: Spots, hangovers, sleepers, and the dreaded sandwich spot. 119 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: Is it time to look ahead or look away? Let's 120 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: start with some sandwich spots. We sure have a lot 121 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: of sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches For those not familiar, this 122 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: is just you know we talk about. We always start 123 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: our episode with some situational angles. You know, will a 124 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: team have let down where they be caught looking ahead? 125 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: Will they pull their starters sooner? Was their lack of 126 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 2: prep doesn't always mean that there's an angle there, but 127 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: worth bringing up. And obviously it ultimately comes down to 128 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: the number and the value that that number provides. But 129 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: the first one that we have here is wake Forest. 130 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: So wake Forest last week, as everyone saw, played well. 131 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if everyone saw it was kind of 132 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: a boring game. They've played Clemson in again that they 133 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: lost thirty seven thirteen. They put a couple of scores 134 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: up late. Game is never really close. This week they 135 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: travel to NC State and this will be the wolf 136 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: Pack's first game of the year. NC State has a 137 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: lot of questions here, but wig Forest plays this game 138 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: in between Clemson last week and hosting Notre Dame next week. 139 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if you have necessarily have as many 140 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: look aheads or letdowns this year compared to most. It's 141 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: such an unprecedented year. Kids are just happy to be playing. 142 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: There's fewer games, But you know, I have to ask 143 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: the question here, is this a good spot to back 144 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: nd Seas State in their first game of the year. 145 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 4: I think it is. I'm going to be back in 146 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 4: n C State I just want to see what the 147 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: line is going to do, because after we've kind of 148 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: been hanging in a field goal and two and a half, 149 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: there's been some two's popping up at played BETENGM. Right now, 150 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 4: the line is in c State minus two and a half. 151 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 4: This is a game that I make minus eight. I 152 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 4: know a lot of that is based upon Wake Forest 153 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: losing a ton of production. We talked about it in 154 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: the last week's pot about what they were going up 155 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: against the Clemson you know, dead nut under game, considering 156 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 4: they couldn't contribute any points at the beginning and they 157 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 4: just didn't have any weapons to do any you know, 158 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: to get anything on the board. And if you look 159 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: at INC State, they actually have a lot of returning 160 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 4: production on both sides of the ball. It's just not 161 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: a very successful group of players in terms of success 162 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 4: rate offensively and defensively, you know, all things. Aside to 163 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: say we weren't in the pandemic and say that COVID 164 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: wasn't around, and say that we didn't have all these 165 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: opt outs, we would have lined this game that at 166 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: NC State. Mind's eight My problem with this week, and 167 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: we're going to find this theory going all throughout all 168 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 4: these games. Do I want to back my cash into 169 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 4: a team that's on their first game of the season. 170 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: Aga'st a team that's already had a game, or in 171 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 4: the case of like Utep and Abaliene Christian, a team 172 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 4: that's on its third game versus a team that's on 173 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: its first game. I think it's a huge lake up 174 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: to already have a game. We've seen it in years 175 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: past where teams playing Week zero, they go on to 176 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 4: Week one, generally they cover the spread. I think that's 177 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 4: a good little bet Labs research project that I'll have 178 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 4: to get onto. But I do want to back INC 179 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 4: State in this game. I'll probably get involved. I'm a 180 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 4: you know, line watcher set up on sports Insights. Well, 181 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: I don't want it to clip three. Probably end up, 182 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 4: you know, taking this game maybe outright if it's cheap enough. 183 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: Sir enough. I would also give a look to the 184 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 2: under here. I don't have a strong feel on the 185 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: side just because I don't think I don't have a 186 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 2: good read on NC State. It's a team that I'm 187 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: down on, and you're right, that is one of the 188 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: keys to the early season in twenty twenty. It's how 189 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: much does a team getting a game in after a 190 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: shortened summer, losing spring, shortened preparation, how much does that 191 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: give them a leg up playing against a team that 192 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 2: hasn't played yet. So if I had a bet that 193 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 2: I'd look under. I know that number has been dropping. Yeah, 194 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: first half. 195 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 4: Unders have been money with these these teams that have, 196 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 4: you know, really looking for an identity at the beginning 197 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 4: of the season. So yeah, I agree. 198 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's also move on to some 199 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: potential letdown spots, which I do think it's still a 200 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: little bit more relevant than looking ahead to the following 201 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: week this year, and the first one that jumps out 202 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech that BETMGM. They are the Juice seven and 203 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: a half point underdogs over under sixty three hosting Central Florida. 204 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 2: Last week, Georgia Tech pulled off a pretty stunning upset 205 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: of Florida State sixteen thirteen in an ugly one. They 206 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: also have a conference game on deck next week at 207 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: Syracuse UCF, were I think it's ranked fourteenth in the country. 208 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: We're both I think high on them in the conference. 209 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: I think that I like their secondary, their offense obviously 210 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: going to go fast, and they have a ton of 211 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: talent on the offense side of the ball. They did 212 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: have some opt outs hurt their depth a little bit, 213 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: you know, a couple of starters in the interior. But 214 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 2: this team is really good. They're going to go really fast, 215 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: and last year they were really unlucky. You know, the 216 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 2: games that they lost were all one possession and really 217 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: could have win either way. So Georgia Tech, after that 218 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: win against Florida State, catching a touchdown seven to seven 219 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: and a half at home, do you have any desire 220 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: to go and back the ramblin wreck here? 221 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 4: No, No Georgia Tech for me this week. I can 222 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 4: tell everybody loves Georgia Tech this week, not just by 223 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 4: ticket and money line and number of dollars bet, but 224 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 4: because I'm getting calls from friends, family, my grandmother. Georgia 225 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: Tech beat Florida State. Obviously they could beat Central Florida. 226 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 4: It's really kind of the theme for everybody. But you know, 227 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: let's break this down a little bit. Georgia Tech improved 228 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 4: pace of play. They were running twenty four seconds per play. 229 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 4: That's one second off of Miami with RTT Lashley and 230 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 4: Deer at King's Pace. So Georgia Tech, if they get 231 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 4: some success with Jeffson as the quarterback, and they can 232 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: start making points out of getting past the forty yard line, 233 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 4: out of finishing drives offensively, We've got ourselves a sneaky 234 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 4: over team that the odds makers may take a while 235 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: to catch up to. Now, obviously, this game at sixty 236 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 4: three sixty three and a half bet in GM. That's 237 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 4: up there for Georgia Tech game. But that's backed by 238 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 4: the fact that Central Florida plays the fastest pace in 239 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: the country and Hipel has made it, you know, very 240 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: clear that he always wants to be the fastest team 241 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 4: in the country. Jeff Simms for Georgia Tech last week 242 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 4: had five passes greater than fifteen yards. He went sixty 243 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 4: four success rate and standard downs. That's fantastic for a 244 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 4: Georgia Tech offense. Jeff Collins havoc defenses. He had it 245 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: at Temple as a head coach. He had it at 246 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 4: Florida as a defensive coordinator. Last week Georgia Tech six 247 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 4: tackles for loss, seven pass breakups, two forced bumbles. This 248 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: is a sandwich spot. They have Syracuse on deck. They're 249 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 4: one to zero in a acc play. Who knows, I 250 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: kind of agree with the stuff. When we talk about 251 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: do these kids have overlook I mean we're all just 252 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 4: trying to get caught up here, Like I mean, these 253 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 4: games would being announced two three days ahead. How am 254 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: I going to have overlooked next week when I when 255 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: this just got scheduled, Like, you know, I feel like 256 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: everything is day to day, and I bet the players 257 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: feel like that too. You know, one thing, on Central Florida, 258 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 4: they had more plays of thirty plus yards than anybody 259 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: in FBS last year in twenty nine. I think I'm 260 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: going to be backing the nights here. I don't like 261 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: backing teams on game one versus teams on game two. 262 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: It's a smaller wager, but I am backing Central Florida here. 263 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: I want to seven, not the seven and a half. 264 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: I actually make this game eleven and the ten players 265 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 4: that opted out for Central Florida. It was an offensive 266 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 4: lineman Dariel Mack Junior was big and third downs and 267 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 4: red zone opportunities. Other than that, Gabriel's back with all 268 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 4: of his weapons. The pace of play should be forrenetic. 269 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 4: So everything to me screams over and takes Central Florida. 270 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if there's conditioning issues and that game was 271 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: just a slugfest last week with Georgia Tech. Maybe you 272 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: see that in the second half or UCF can extend. 273 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: So I'm not sure if I'll get involved pregame unless 274 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: this goes under seven, but I might be looking UCF 275 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: live or second half where I am. I am making 276 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: an exception to my rule and being a hypocrite a 277 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 2: few different times this week taking teams on their first game. 278 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: One of them is against the letdown spot, and that's 279 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: Georgia State, which right now is plus sixteen and a half. 280 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: They're hosting in their season opener Louisiana Lafayette, and Louisiana 281 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: is coming off a huge win, one of their biggest 282 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: wins in program history, when they went up and stomped 283 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: at Iowa State. Number one. There's just value in this number. 284 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: I think you and I both make it around fourteen, 285 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: right so if you can get seventeen, there's just value 286 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: in the number right away. I actually was pretty high 287 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: on Georgia State coming into the year, very experienced team. 288 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: They lost Dan Allington, but you know, Quad Brown is 289 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: dual threat quarterback. He's got a cannon of an arm. 290 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: He can run and they bring everybody back. Everybody else 291 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: on that offense back all of his weapons for offensive lineman. 292 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: Number twelve rushing offense in the nation last year, record 293 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: setting offense. They just have to replace the quarterback, and 294 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: I think Quad Brown is capable enough to come in 295 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: and step in for Ellington. On the defense, the defense 296 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: was awful last year, really bad. But they bring almost 297 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: everyone back. They had nine starters back. They bring in 298 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: a couple trans first to help. So I think it's 299 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: gonna be a defense that's improved. ULL. Like I just 300 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: after that huge win, I mean they're crying after the game. 301 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's gonna be hard for them 302 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: to avoid a letdown against Georgia State. Add On to that, 303 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: just the number has value. I think maybe as a 304 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: result of that win last week, But if you dig 305 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: into that, into that win, I think it said more 306 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: about Iowa State, who does get off the slow starts 307 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: and has these just clunkers every year. Last week, ULL 308 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: got two turnovers a kick return for a touchdown and 309 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: they won thirty one to fourteen despite being out gained 310 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: three hundred and three to two seventy two, So they 311 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: only had two hundred and seventy yards. Iowa State was 312 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: also one for three on fourth down. I mean, Iowa 313 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: State should have lost to an FCS school to start 314 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: the year last year when they didn't go for two. 315 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: So I mean, I think it just said more about 316 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: Iowa State and their inability to get off to fast 317 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: starts before b October. So Georgia State. Also, the strength 318 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: of that defense is their linebackers, which I think will 319 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: play against the ul rushing attack, which is what they 320 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: want to do on offense. So give me the seventeen 321 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: here with the Panthers in their in their home open 322 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: are a little nervous that it's the first game of 323 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: the year, but it's a really experienced team, an experienced staff. 324 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of continuity there, which gives me a 325 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: little more confidence. 326 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 4: Do you agree, Yeah, I one hundred percent back everything 327 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 4: you're saying. And let me go a little bit deeper. 328 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 4: I mean, ULL was backed by the fact they had 329 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: two special teams touchdowns, so that's you know, there's just 330 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 4: a huge discrepancy, And I went a little bit deeper. 331 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 4: On the offensive line, the craziest discrepancies I've ever seen. 332 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 4: They had five offensive linemen with over nine hundred snaps 333 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 4: and then they had like four other offensive linemen that 334 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: had like sixty snaps. Now, of those five offensive linemen 335 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: that had nine hundred snaps last year, one of them 336 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 4: their college time expired. So they returned four offensive linemen 337 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 4: that had at least nine hundred plays under their belt. 338 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 4: So if you're going to stick a freshman quarterback, but 339 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 4: you know now that Dan the man Ellington is gone. 340 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 4: I think he's on the coaching staff. But you know, 341 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 4: if you're going to stick a freshman quarterback, this is 342 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 4: the offensive line you want to do it. Stuck's right, 343 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: eighty three percent of the d comes back for the 344 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: Panthers one hundred and tenth and success story not good, 345 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: you know. Ull I would say this should be a layup, 346 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 4: but we've seen Georgia State do things before Tennessee. They 347 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 4: have a good, strong offensive line, plenty experienced. They get 348 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: everything back on defense. Although it may not be quality, 349 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 4: it's sundult quality. So yeah, I agree, this line I 350 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 4: have at I think fourteen fourteen and a half, So yeah, 351 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 4: seventeen is where I would want to play it. If 352 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 4: I play it, it's I think this is one of 353 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 4: those Saturday morning is the steam going to come in 354 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 4: and if it is, give me that inflated number. 355 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 2: Fair enough, hobby on, George, I'm already on your to 356 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: State plus seventeen. So let's hope Quad bron can get 357 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: it done. All right. The last spot that I wanted 358 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 2: to talk about today, we have to talk about the 359 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: method of voicemails.

They ended up winning 366 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 2: fifty one forty eight and overtime over the Bobs over 367 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: Texas State. Now they welcome in Steven F. Austin and 368 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: after that big win, you know next week they host Memphis. 369 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 2: So this game is and that's on Friday night, I believe, Yeah, 370 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 2: Memphis on Friday night is what that game a schedule for? 371 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 2: So Steven F. Austin in between, it's hey, are they 372 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: really going to get up for this game? Is it? 373 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: An emotional letdown. Our projection at Action Network is eleven 374 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 2: and a half. You can find them. I think I've 375 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: seen them out there around Utsa around a little over 376 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 2: two touchdown favorites. Are you going back to your meet 377 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: met boys or are you fading them this week? What 378 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 2: are your thoughts here? 379 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 4: I love Utsa. You know, that was a great game 380 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 4: last week. It was a game in which I got 381 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 4: a little bit nervous with all the units and the 382 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 4: money that I had, you know, the commas in my 383 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 4: bet size that I had down on meat meat last week. 384 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: So I got nervous, and around the early third quarter 385 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 4: I put a moneyline bed in on Texas State and 386 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 4: plus six fifty and if that kicker, what if it 387 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: is pat, I'd hit both sides of it, But I digress. 388 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 4: UTSA didn't go to overtime and blow it for everybody, 389 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 4: which is good news as far as this week goes, 390 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 4: Utsa showed us that they are a heavy, heavy rush team. 391 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 4: They're gonna be one of the heaviest rush teams in 392 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 4: the country. I think they're going to be rushing out 393 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 4: of passing downs plenty. You know, this overtime victory with 394 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 4: Memphis on deck. We don't know if they're gonna be 395 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 4: able to get up for it. You know, Stephen F. 396 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 4: Austin is on a two week break. This isn't their 397 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 4: first game. They're on a two week break after a 398 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 4: ten point lost to UTAP after they led the game 399 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 4: fourteen to three. UTIP had some pocus pocus circus shit 400 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 4: go on to get them that win. But Stephen Austin, 401 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 4: they're just they're dreadful. They were terrible in that game 402 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: against the UTIP. Their average starting field position was the 403 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 4: sixteen yard line. They had two turnovers, They had minus 404 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 4: one eighty nine hidden yards, which is your starting field 405 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: position in penalties. I think the game is gonna go 406 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: under Stephen F. Austin scoring points. Good luck with that 407 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 4: UTSA heavy rush attack, and I only get six days 408 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 4: prepared to host Memphis a huge game. I think this 409 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 4: is going to be more than the sixty three percent 410 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 4: threshold rush percentage of the TSA has. I think they're 411 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 4: just gonna run the ball all night. So for me, 412 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 4: that tends to be under fair enough. 413 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 2: I will have to dig into that because you make 414 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: a compelling case. All right, now it's time to move 415 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: to our marquee games of the weekend. It's another fabulous 416 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: weekend of college football. 417 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 4: Let's check out the marquee matchups. 418 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: We'll all end up betting for week three. 419 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: Before we get to these. One of the things that 420 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: I that we're going to put up eventually on the 421 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: Accent maybe this weekend, working with some of our editors 422 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: to do it, is a running log just that you 423 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: can check PERI actually throughout the weekend during the day 424 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 2: on Saturday, teams that have announced that players will be 425 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 2: out via for COVID, you know, maybe linked to like 426 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: local stories like twenty players are out this many starters, 427 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 2: which I think will provide I had a lot of 428 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: utility on the Action Network out, so keep your eye 429 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: out for that. I mean. One of them that happened 430 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: this week was Charlotte and shout out to the person 431 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: who knows who they are. They got into by DMS 432 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 2: earlier in the week and they were like, I know 433 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 2: someone on the team, Reynolds was already out there starting quarterback. 434 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: They were like, the backup quarterback is going to be 435 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: out for COVID. Their offensive linemen are all going to 436 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: be out. So I was waiting and I was going 437 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: to hit team to it, but the game got canceled, 438 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: So I appreciate that person reaching out though, and that 439 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: line is moving ahead of time. Again, this stuff is 440 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: getting out. 441 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 4: I think what's interesting about that is the story that 442 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 4: I read is that if Charlotte didn't cancel that game 443 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 4: when they did, next week's game would have been canceled too. 444 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 4: So I think we're going to see a lot of 445 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 4: this COVID news pop on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night 446 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: and Thursday morning decisions of canceling games, So that doesn't 447 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 4: have a seven day layover into the next week. So 448 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 4: I think we're going to be living with this for 449 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 4: the rest of the year anyways. Just that's how this 450 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 4: stuff is happening. 451 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a great point, all right, But let's 452 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: move in to just keep that in mind that when 453 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: we're talking about these games, if there's a big line 454 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: move after you've listened to it, it might be COVID related. 455 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 2: So the news is gonna be key all year. But 456 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 2: let's move into our first marquee game of the weekend, 457 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: and that is an acc battle between Syracuse and Pitt. 458 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 2: Syracuse will travel to pit at bet MGM. Right now, 459 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 2: Pitt is a twenty one and a half point favorite 460 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 2: over under sitting at forty nine and the half. I've 461 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: already played this under, I've talked about I think under 462 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 2: fifty one, fifty one and a half. I still like 463 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 2: it a forty nine and a half. Look, we talked 464 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: about Syracuse's offense. It is just dreadful. I mean, Tommy 465 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: DeVito is just not it. Their offensive line is awful. 466 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 2: They were starting like a fullback. Wut it changed numbers 467 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 2: to play guard. And they went up against a UNC 468 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: defensive line, which is not its strength, it's its weakness 469 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 2: of its defense, and they still couldn't do anything divida 470 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: through for one hundred and twelve yards on thirty one attempts. 471 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: You know, this Cracuse team they lolsto their top two backs. Also, 472 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's just miserable. I mean, in that game, 473 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 2: Syracuse had two hundred and two total yards on seventy 474 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: three plays, two point eight yards per play. And Sarah 475 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: and UNC is not known for their defense. Guess who is? 476 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: Pitt is known for their defense. They have an excellent 477 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 2: defensive line, they have NFL talent in the secondary. So 478 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how Syracuse Syracus put up six points 479 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: versus UNC. Yeah, they got some rust out, but they're 480 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 2: going against a much superior defense here with the Pitt Panthers, 481 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: with NFL talent on that defensive roster up front in 482 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: the back. I like this under here. You like anything 483 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: here I do. 484 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 4: I like the under along with you. I haven't played 485 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 4: it because fifty is my threshold. So if you didn't 486 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 4: get fifty one vet MGM right now is a forty 487 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 4: nine and a half, that would be my absolute threshold 488 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 4: of where I would play this too, because you're really 489 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 4: just a special team screw up away from losing that bet. 490 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 4: And to further Stuck's point, you know, boy, Syracuse and 491 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: this offense is pretty bad, and you know they they 492 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 4: had the cover on you and see until you know, 493 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 4: Sam Hell came alive in the second half of that game. 494 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: We should expect to see more of that from Sam. 495 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 4: How you know, Like I said, I project this at fifty. 496 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 4: But the thing that's kind of got me all eyeballs 497 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 4: on this game, and maybe not a whole bunch of 498 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 4: money on this game is that Pitt ran a play 499 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 4: every thirty three seconds last week against Austin Pe and 500 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 4: that is by far the slowest. I thought my eyes 501 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: were receiving me. Yeah, I thought my eyes were deceiving 502 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 4: me when the calculation came out, and then I went 503 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 4: and looked through the play log. We're running the ball 504 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 4: like crazy in the second half because we're up forty 505 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 4: two to zero. So is Pitt actually the slow under 506 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 4: Mark Whipple or is it a result of the fact 507 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: that they got up huge early in the game and 508 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 4: they just wanted to burn clock. At the end of 509 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 4: the second quarter, they were in garbage time immediately before 510 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 4: anybody could get some lunch. I think the one thing 511 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 4: that backs up stucks under is the Syracuse three three five, 512 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 4: and we talked about this last week with North Carolina. 513 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 4: It can give quarterbacks a different look. It can you 514 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: can you can discus coverage. Some quarterbacks can't pick that up. 515 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 4: What's important from the pit side is is I went 516 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: through all the game logs from twenty nineteen. The only 517 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: time anybody played three three five against them was Ohio 518 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 4: and third downs. 519 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: That's it. 520 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 4: Nobody else on the schedule played at three three five 521 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 4: went through twenty eighteen. I got about five games into 522 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. I still couldn't find a team that played 523 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 4: a three three five. So for all intentsive purposes, this 524 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 4: is the first time Whipple is coaching a quarterback at 525 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 4: Pitt that is seen a three to three five defense. 526 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 4: So you know, for me, uh, I agree completely one 527 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: hundred percent. Syracuses has zero explosiveness on their offensive side 528 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 4: of the ball. The three three five actually limited North 529 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 4: Carolina's explosiveness. You know, they did go above national average, 530 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 4: but in North Carolina's average of explosive drives, you know, 531 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 4: they were actually limited to what they did last year. 532 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 4: So I agree with Stuck that this is an undergame. Uh, 533 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 4: Pitt's gonna get a little confused. Maybe a first half 534 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 4: under is a better number because of the three three 535 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 4: five element. Again, but Syracuse is not going to contribute 536 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: to this and really just screw up on special teams 537 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 4: is what's going to burn this number. 538 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean Pitt did have Mac was out last 539 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 2: week a receiver, so maybe they just weren't throwing as much. 540 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: I think they ideally want to throw up, but maybe 541 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: our doozy doesn't, so maybe they're going to run it more. 542 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 2: Syrakese wants to go. We're very fast. I just think 543 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 2: that no matter how fast they go, They're not going 544 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: to do anything. There's also some excellent safeties in this game. 545 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 2: Syracuse is a potential All American safety and Pitt has 546 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: one of the best pairs of safeties in the country. 547 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: Keep your eye on and Hamlin in Paris Ford and 548 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 2: excellent safety will play in the NFL, so keep your 549 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: eye on them. I just I just don't know what 550 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: Syracuse can do on offense with that offensive line. I 551 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 2: know Twyman who's an NFL cowl player opted out for Pip. 552 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: The defensive line is still excellent, the secondary's excellent. This 553 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 2: is a better defense than UNC and Syracuse looked lost 554 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: agains you would he couldn't do anything, So give me 555 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 2: the under here. Let's move on to our second marquee 556 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 2: game of the day, and that is Houston at Baylor 557 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 2: at bet MGM. This line is Baylor minus three and 558 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: a half over under sixty two. I personally love Houston 559 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: in this spot. What this matchup means to me is 560 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: I have a team that I want to ride early 561 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 2: on in the year on the top of my bed 562 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: on list in Houston. They're taking on a team in 563 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: Baylor that I want to fade early on. Baylor new 564 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: coaching staff, a lot of turnover, especially on the defensive 565 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: side of the ball. You know, they lost they lost 566 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: a Big twelve defensive player of the year up front 567 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 2: of their on their off their edge. They lost an 568 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 2: All American safety and Arnold. The defenses are placing a 569 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: ton and going through a complete, complete, one pint eighty. 570 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 2: As far as scheme, there's a lot of change on 571 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: Bailor and I'm looking to fade teams that are going 572 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: through a lot of change after a short and summer, 573 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: especially on the defensive side of the ball. The offensive 574 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: line still has questions. H Breweries back, so you haven't 575 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 2: experienced quarterback. There's some town on the outside. But you 576 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: do lose Mims, their best receiver to the NFL. And 577 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 2: it wasn't the offense that carried Baylor last year was 578 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: the defense, and that defense is completely rebuilt. On the 579 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: other side of the ball, Houston last year was basically 580 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: a lost season. They started off one in three after 581 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: a heartbreaking loss to Tulane. You know, then they had 582 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: guys like Derek King, They had their senior wide receiver 583 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: decide to red shirt, and there was a couple other 584 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: guys that red shirt, and those first four games were 585 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: in eighteen days. The team was gassed, and then there 586 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: was injuries as a result of that, and they red 587 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 2: shirt and they basically used the rest of the season. 588 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: There was no postseason aspirations to prepare for this year, 589 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: and they bring a lot of experience back. Clayton Tune 590 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: got seven games in in Dana Holgerson's air raid. All 591 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 2: of his weapons come back. His top two backs, you 592 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 2: know his receivers lookout for Stevens are both at wide 593 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: receiver and in the return game. He's electric. And you know, 594 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 2: the offensive line had a ton of injuries last year, 595 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: guys moving all around. That experience should payoff this year. 596 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: The defense, they brought in some really good transfers Power 597 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: five transfers that are gonna help right away at quarter, 598 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 2: in safety, and their defense is very deep in experienced. 599 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: So while the defense wasn't good last year, I think 600 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: it's going to be much improved this year. So this 601 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: is Houston team I think was everything was, hey, let's 602 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 2: get ready for twenty twenty last year, which is why 603 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 2: I think there's some value. I think Baylor, living on 604 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: its name a little bit, is going to struggle. I 605 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: like Houston to win this game. I make it closer 606 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: to a point flip. Maybe I'm way too low on 607 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: Baylor and too high on Houston, but things are lining 608 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: up here for me. So give me Houston. 609 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and let me add to your point, because I 610 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 4: don't have a play in this game. But I don't, 611 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 4: you know, I kind of I've warmed up to the Houston, 612 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 4: Like the last thirty six hours when you start realizing 613 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 4: what teams that did have spring practices are doing against 614 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 4: teams that didn't have spring practices. Houston eight spring practices 615 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 4: before everything got canceled off seventy three percent of their 616 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 4: offense returning ninety three percent of their defense returning, Baylor 617 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 4: zero spring practices. David Randon didn't even live in Waco 618 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 4: untill like July, so it was a zoom team for 619 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 4: quite a while. New schemes on both sides of the 620 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 4: thirty two percent returning production on defense, Baylor has the 621 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 4: ingredients to be a game one flop. Houston has the 622 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: ingredients to be a game one play on against the spread. 623 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 4: The problem is is these teams just scheduled each other 624 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, right, I mean, we've had 625 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 4: no time who's treating this as a scrimmage, who's treating 626 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: this as a glorified practice? Who is you know, saving 627 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 4: gonna give you three series an NFL exhibition game where 628 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 4: Rogers gets like three series and then you're gonna sit. 629 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it's all by the seat of your pants. 630 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 4: But to Stuck's point, Houston is the play from a 631 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 4: continuity standpoint. And I can tell you right now that 632 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 4: there's not that many tickets on Houston, but there is 633 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 4: a shit ton of money. So I mean there's definitely 634 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 4: people that are in the know and that like to 635 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 4: get money down early in the week and are sharper 636 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 4: pay attention to these things. They completely agree they have 637 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 4: the same opinion as Stuck. So I will probably ride 638 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 4: with you on this. 639 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Baylor was a team, like I said, defense for 640 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 2: they lost nine of their top eleven tacklers and they're 641 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: going through a scheme change. I think Houston is much 642 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: more ready for this game. This game is much more 643 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: important for them. Well you know, well, I think Iran 644 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: is just trying to all right, let me get this 645 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: team to where I want it to be. And you know, 646 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 2: they need they need to get some time to practice 647 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: this scheme and implement new things and bring new players in. 648 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: And I know William Bradley King and Arkansas State transfer 649 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: will help off the edge. But other than that, this 650 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 2: defense is all brand new. So you know, give me 651 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: Houston going what two hundred miles to Waco on a 652 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 2: team that just has a ton of experience, and I 653 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: think the offensive line is gonna be better. And sixteen 654 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: of the top seventeen tacklers returned for Houston for their 655 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: four two five days, sixteen to the top seventeen. And 656 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: they have Geovanni Stort who's coming in. Is gonna start 657 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: at nickel from West he started West Virginia before. They 658 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: have Marcus Jones is going to start it outside corner 659 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 2: he transferred from Troy. Lookout for Marquez Stevenson. He's this 660 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: week's Jay. 661 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 4: Adams, a most electrifying player in college football. 662 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: Just go John Adams. That is an unbelievable catch. That 663 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 2: is like Obi j Holder. 664 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 4: This time. 665 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 2: You was a plot James posting up. Stop it. This 666 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: is not real. This kid is amazing. He's gonna have 667 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: huge players. He's gonna help me pull off this upset. Unfortunately, 668 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 2: can't bet on Arkansas State because their game got postponed. 669 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 4: Another thing too, his Holderson is he knows how to 670 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 4: prepare a team to travel into Waco and play there, 671 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 4: so that's another advantage for them. 672 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 2: Good point. 673 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying this great action network podcast.

This one will be on Prime Time 686 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 2: Miami at Louisville. It's probably the game of the weekend, 687 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: the game that will get the most attention and I 688 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: think most viewership, and rightfully so, there's a lot of 689 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: talent on both sides of the ball. Louisville now is 690 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: a two and a half point favorite at bet MGM 691 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: over under sixty four and a half look Louisville is 692 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 2: an explosive offense. Last week they really dominated Western Kentucky, 693 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 2: who had drives of one, three and like thirty four 694 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: three head of monster on that Louisville offense. We know 695 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: Derek kings now in Miami, and Miami wants to go fast, 696 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 2: super fast. I think there's gonna be lots of points. 697 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: I think this pace is going to be flying. I've 698 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: played some over sixty four just because of that. 699 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 4: What do you think this is the biggest game of 700 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 4: the week. I mean, it's the Marquee game. It's everything 701 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 4: I want Miami desperately at three. This is two explosive 702 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 4: quarterbacks in King and Cunningham. This is two quarterbacks that 703 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 4: can have breakaway speed, can make defenses flinch, and can 704 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 4: take off. So let's break it down to what each 705 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 4: team has already done and see if there's some sort 706 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 4: of angle. So Miami had a forty five percent success 707 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 4: rate in passing downs against UAB. That's unheard of in 708 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 4: previous years. Miami can't do that in passing downs. They've 709 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 4: been terrible quarterback. But you're going to give them a 710 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 4: forty five percent success rate in passing downs. And by 711 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 4: the way, UAB is not a bad defense. They're havoc 712 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 4: minded and Miami looked fine, kind of disposed of him. 713 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 4: Miami's explosive drive rate thirty one percent. You want to 714 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 4: know a team that's explosive, look at their explosive drive 715 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 4: rate thirty one percent. That thirty one percent may not 716 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 4: mean anything, but consider the national average for explosive drives 717 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 4: is twelve percent, more than two and a half times 718 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 4: of the explosive drive percentage. Louisville explosive drive rate is 719 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 4: seventy percent above national average. Is not as great. Three 720 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 4: offensive lineman last week put up a zero percent and 721 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 4: beaten off the block against Western Kentucky. This is a 722 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 4: good offensive line again. To me, this game is. 723 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 2: About Western the top twenty defense last year. 724 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 4: Oh shit, yeahs right, I think you were seventeen. Really 725 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 4: good on Louisville's they're still running steamrolling people. This game, 726 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 4: to me, is about limiting explosive plays. UAB had zero 727 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 4: explosive drives against Miami. Now, there was some plays that 728 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 4: busted loose, but an explosive drive is defined by averaging 729 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 4: ten yards per play in a drive. Western Kentucky had 730 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty two hidden yards on Louisville. Like 731 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 4: I said before, that's based on starting field position and 732 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 4: penalty yards. Western Kentucky was forty five percent success rate 733 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 4: and passing downs. Does that sound familiar? Miami just went 734 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 4: forty success rate and passing downs. Western Kentucky's offense was 735 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 4: able to do that against Louisville. What does that tell me? 736 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 4: The Deira King is going to be able to sit 737 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 4: back on a third and nine, on a second and 738 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 4: eight and assess, and if it's a bus to play 739 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 4: and he needs to take off, he's going to be 740 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 4: home free. It's a little bit different for the Kynes defense. 741 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 4: Cunning Him contained a twenty five point loss last year. 742 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 4: Diaz had different faces. Manny Diaz, head coach of Miami. 743 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 4: He had different faces on defense, but still he knew 744 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 4: how to teach them to make open field tackles. On Cunningham, 745 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 4: I think Cunningham was minus ten yards. I know their 746 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 4: sacks are in there. He had a long of seventeen, 747 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 4: but overall he was minus ten yards. Miami defense was 748 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 4: all over him. So Miami finally has a stable punter. 749 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 4: They had him last year. Now they have a stable kicker. 750 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 4: Transfer Bora Galley's one for one on his field goals 751 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 4: four for four on his pats. For me, I love 752 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 4: that I'm getting the better special teams, but I think 753 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 4: I'm getting the more explosive quarterback that is going to 754 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 4: expose the defense in passing downs with Miami and deerra 755 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 4: King give it to me all day. If I can 756 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 4: get that three, it's going to be a very large 757 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 4: play coming through the action. 758 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: App Yeah, I still have questions about one of the reasons. 759 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 2: I don't mind find this over here. I know Miami's 760 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,240 Speaker 2: going to go fast. I think I don't think Miami 761 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 2: is going to shut down, and I think Miami is 762 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 2: going to score on the Louisville's defense. And I know 763 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 2: UAB didn't do anything. There was opportunities there and U 764 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 2: A B. If you go back and watch that game, 765 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 2: they had about nine or ten illegal formation penalties. I mean, 766 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding. It was like eight or nine 767 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: illegal formation, illegal shift on like first and second down. 768 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 2: They were way behind the sticks. Miami knew what was 769 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 2: coming in passing downs, and it just it was an awful, awful, 770 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 2: sloppy performance by UAB. So I didn't come away really 771 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: impressed with the Miami defense, which I which does have 772 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: some questions, But the Miami I know that Miami offense 773 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 2: is gonna fly. Uh. They lastly in a company, they 774 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 2: want to go fast. So you make a great case. 775 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 2: I'll be on the over. Maybe I'll join you if 776 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 2: it gets to three the U all right, So that 777 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,959 Speaker 2: wraps up our marquee games of the week. It's time 778 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 2: to get to the best of the rest. We'll start 779 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 2: out with a game that I love and hopefully gets 780 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: played in Flow Atlantic catching now one and a half 781 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: at Georgia Southern at MGM right now over under forty 782 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 2: seven and a half. I played Georgia Southern money line 783 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 2: and plus three and a half. I made them a 784 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: favorite before all these questions with FAU. They missed. There 785 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 2: was a missed practice on Tuesday due to COVID outbreak. 786 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 2: Who knows what's gonna happen here. Also, you have to 787 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 2: remember Georgia Southern, who just beat camel by one last week. 788 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: They had thirty three players out for that game, including 789 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 2: eight starters. That includes they're all conference running back Wesley Kennedy, 790 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 2: They're All Conference safety Kendrick Duncan. Their best player on defense, CJ. 791 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 2: Wright their nose guard is like the key to their defense, 792 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 2: and eight starters overall, so you know, I don't take 793 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 2: too much from that. Georgia Southern really struggled last year 794 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 2: on the offensive line, but they bring everyone back on 795 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 2: the offensive line. They addressed their center woes, they snap 796 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 2: problems with a transfer. They bring everyone back on that 797 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 2: offense one hundred percent of their rushing yards and that 798 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 2: triple option offense. So I think they're gonna be fine 799 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 2: assuming that all these players come back, which from what 800 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 2: I read, there was only one positive test and was 801 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 2: more tracing related, So I think that they will be 802 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 2: back for this game, and Florida Atlantic actually has way 803 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 2: more uncertainty. Georgia Southern has also already played a game, 804 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 2: which we've talked about even if they had thirty three 805 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: players out, well, Florida Atlantic hasn't, and they're missing practices 806 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 2: the week of a game that they have to prepare 807 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 2: for a triple option. Take move all that away. FA 808 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 2: is a team I wanted to fade early on in 809 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 2: the season. Anyway, Lane Kiffin left, they brought him Willie 810 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 2: Taggart as a new head coach. You know, he takes 811 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 2: over to that won its conference last year. But there's 812 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 2: a ton of turnover. Chris Robison, their quarterback, who may 813 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 2: have been the conference player of the year, he's gone. 814 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 2: He got booted off the team. I think he got 815 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 2: booted off of Oklahoma a couple of years ago as well, 816 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on with him. But 817 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: former Indiana who's your Nick Trotty won the job. He 818 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: does have a loaded backfield, he's got town on the outside. However, 819 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 2: they lost the top receiver, they lost their tight end to 820 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 2: the NFL, and they lost two all conference offensive linemen, 821 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 2: so you expect some growing pains on the offense. Then 822 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 2: let's move to the defensive side. Jim Levitt takes over 823 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 2: the defense. He's going to move them from a four 824 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 2: man front to his vintage three to four defense, and 825 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 2: there's a ton of turnover here. Seven of their top 826 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 2: eight tacklers from the defensive line are gone. Let's move 827 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: the to linebackers, pretty important against the triple option. Well, 828 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,720 Speaker 2: the two best linebackers, the three best linebackers are gone. 829 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 2: Rashot Smith graduated. Lee Roy who was suspended for the 830 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 2: bowl game. Who's one of their best linebackers. He's been 831 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 2: ruled ineligible and Barnwell hit the transfer portal. So you 832 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 2: know then they also have an inexperienced secondary. So this 833 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 2: defense moving to a new scheme no practice this week 834 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 2: lost everything in their front seven trying to play this 835 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 2: triple option the FAU defense. Also, you want to have 836 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 2: a regression candidate. FAU. Last year they led the nation 837 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 2: in takeaways and turnovers. They so much fumble luck, so 838 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 2: much interception luck. You can expect the regress a monster 839 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 2: to come for them. So Georgia Southern went healthy, a 840 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 2: team that I think could take the next step this year, 841 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 2: FAU going through a lot of changes, a lot of turnover. 842 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 2: Now you have these COVID questions, assuming Fau's health, assuming 843 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 2: Georgia Southern's healthy, I love them. 844 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 4: Here, I'm better tell you my finger was over the button. 845 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 4: You got a great number. I saw it come through 846 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 4: on the action app, which if you have not downloaded, 847 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 4: download and when we make bets, you'll be able to 848 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 4: see him right away. Stuck, you got a great number 849 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 4: on Georgia Southern. My finger was over the betting button. 850 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 4: But the problem was is I wanted to go through 851 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 4: each one of the thirty three players and see how 852 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,479 Speaker 4: important they were to the team. Seemed like the entire 853 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 4: town of Statesborough was out for contact tracing. The thirty 854 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 4: three Georgia Southern players are out last week. Three of 855 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 4: them were in the top seven for tacklers for twenty nineteen, 856 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 4: So that would explain some of the success that Campbell 857 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 4: probably had, especially the kind of quarterback they have. I 858 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 4: agree with Stuck here. The problem is Florida Atlantic has 859 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 4: just been all caught up in the COVID problem multiple times. 860 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 4: Stop practice in August. Stop didn't even that practice on 861 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 4: Tuesday of this week. Florida Atlantic has had so many 862 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 4: COVID issues that leads me to wonder if how physical 863 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 4: they're being in their practices, how is the contact tracing going. 864 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 4: Are they doing a navy where some groups are with others. 865 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 4: Are they paired off into duos which I've seen some 866 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 4: practices do with some teams. There's just way too many 867 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 4: question marks from a new coach, new coordinators, new quarterback. Tronty. 868 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 4: By the way, Redcherd Junior won that quarterback position over 869 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 4: three others, one of them being Willy Taggard Junior. So 870 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 4: if we get the quick cook here on Tronty, we 871 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 4: basically Willy Taggard Junior running the running the under center here, 872 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 4: so to be, there was a ton of question marks. 873 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 4: Are these players coming back for Georgia Southern. Florida Atlantic 874 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 4: is had as rough up about with COVID as Tulsa has, 875 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 4: So that's two things to keep your eye on. I 876 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 4: do know that everybody is on this Georgia Southern number. 877 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 4: That's why it's driven down. It's at minus two and 878 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 4: a half at BETMGM right now. I would not be 879 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 4: surprised to see Georgia Southern is a one point favorite 880 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 4: comes Saturday morning. So if you got a good number, 881 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 4: stick to it and hold on to it. I think 882 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 4: Georgia Southern's going to have a lot more success with 883 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 4: the triple option. They're gona play a lot better defense, 884 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,479 Speaker 4: getting three of their top seven tacklers back from last year. 885 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 4: I mean, it really all depends on how many players 886 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 4: FORID Atlantic has. We're not going to know until the 887 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,280 Speaker 4: owls hit the field. 888 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 2: I'm very confident in Georgia Southern area, and there's I 889 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 2: think much more variants on the Florida Laic side for 890 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 2: who can be out. So yeah, Georgia Southern's already one 891 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 2: and a half point favorite at BETMGM. 892 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 5: The NFL season is upon us, and our friends at 893 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 5: bet MGM Sports are offering Action Network podcast listeners a 894 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 5: great signu offer.

And now back to the show. 909 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 2: All right, let's go rapid fire before we get to 910 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 2: three and out. I'm gonna go through about four or 911 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 2: five games. You give me one or two cents thoughts 912 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 2: on them. Let's start with Navy at two A and 913 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 2: at BETMGM. Navy is a now a six and a 914 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 2: half point underdog. Got to Tulane. We know Navy looked 915 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 2: awful in their first game. Couldn't even tackle BYU. We 916 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 2: know Tulane has seen the option a lot over the years. 917 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 2: I think you have a nice looking middle here per 918 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 2: the app. What do you see here? 919 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, the number came out Navy plus eight. I was 920 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 4: happy to get on that because I knew it would 921 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 4: drop because of what people would perceive to think that 922 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 4: Navy's going to get it back after two weeks and 923 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 4: be physical. They just started padded practices six days ago. 924 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 4: You can't really regain your physicality. Plus, they couldn't stop 925 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 4: BYU from jumping the gaps. And if you're playing triple 926 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 4: offsha football, you have to keep defenders out of your gaps. 927 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 4: In er two lane. That defensive line dominated South Alabama 928 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 4: in the second half. They had twelve tackles for loss. 929 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 4: Two lanes. Defensive line is the reason that they were 930 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 4: able to come back and win the second half twenty 931 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 4: one to ten. I love two Lane's offense. It took 932 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 4: them a half to get ready with Will Hall and 933 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 4: their offensive. You know, they had to. They were turned 934 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 4: only thirty percent on offense, so it took them a 935 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 4: while to get it going. But the defensive line of 936 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 4: two Lane is always in people's backfield, and that is 937 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 4: a bad formula for Navy football right now. 938 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're very familiar with the option, the triple option, 939 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 2: which they see every year and they've run like a 940 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 2: form of it in the past, the spread option to 941 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 2: move only your a team in your backyard. But a 942 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 2: lot of uncertainty. Tulsa traveling to Oak State Oak State 943 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 2: twenty three and a half point favorites at bet MGM. 944 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,760 Speaker 2: Lay it here with the Pokes or stay away. 945 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you have to lay it here with 946 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 4: the Pokes. And I know some short people out in 947 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 4: Vegas that have been texting me saying, every time Tulsa 948 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 4: gets to twenty four, I'm gonna go take a hit 949 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 4: on it. And that's true. Every time we've seen it 950 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 4: flicker at twenty four, it takes a hit, and that's 951 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 4: just because people are playing numbers. Tulsa has had a 952 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 4: hell of a time, I mean a couple miles here 953 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 4: from my house, a hell of a time with COVID, 954 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 4: stop practice multiple times in August. August twenty ninth was 955 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,800 Speaker 4: their first padded practice. That's crazy, and they've stopped practice 956 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 4: yet again. Since that August twenty ninth, they've had six 957 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 4: padded practices. That's it for Tulsa. I don't know how 958 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 4: you could be physical in this game. And let's take 959 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 4: a look at it from what they lose on the 960 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball. No player on this tu 961 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 4: defense had more than two sacks or nine hurries. That 962 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 4: is a huge loss on the defensive side of the ball. 963 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 4: We know all about Oklahoma State. Gundhy's been bashing their 964 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 4: brains in he said to the media, to the Oklahoma 965 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 4: and he said, I want to play up tempo and 966 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 4: I want to play physical. Listen, Tulsa has just had 967 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 4: a really rough time with COVID, and I do not 968 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 4: think this is a spot to start getting contrariant. 969 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna make everyone really angry here. After 970 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,319 Speaker 2: the flop that we had on Middle Tennessee State in 971 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 2: the opener against Army and they look like they never 972 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 2: played football before. They've had two weeks to prepare. Now 973 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 2: for Troy, TEAMO was a terrible defense if all their 974 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 2: weapons back but a new quarterback and gunner Watson, they 975 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 2: lost their quarterback. Do we buy low on Middle Tennessee 976 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 2: State here catching over a field goal because I'm been 977 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 2: very close to pulling the trigger many times. Are they 978 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 2: going to remember how to play football? 979 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 4: You should play Middle Tennessee State plus three and a half. 980 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 4: This is a complete overreaction. I think what I want 981 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 4: to dive a little bit more into here in the 982 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 4: next thirty six hours before we get off to kickoff 983 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,959 Speaker 4: is how are they going to handle the extremely fast 984 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 4: pace of Troy and Chip lindsay So Middle Tennessee numbers 985 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,959 Speaker 4: wise as the play Troy hasn't played a game. Middle 986 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 4: Tennessee has didn't scorty points, but at least they played 987 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 4: a game. Numbers a complete overreaction. 988 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 2: I might I'm gunshot, but I might end up pulling 989 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 2: the trigger because I agree with you and you think 990 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 2: if Middle Tennessee State has some pride over the past 991 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 2: two weeks, they would be doing everything they could. 992 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 4: Remember when Ashure O'Hara had two thousand yards throwing in 993 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,720 Speaker 4: a thousand yards rushing, and it was it was the greatest. 994 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,359 Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden, the dog shit three 995 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,720 Speaker 4: and a half point underdogs to Troy. 996 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean if Middle tennase State can't do anything 997 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 2: against this Troy defense, they just write them off and 998 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 2: fade them into oblivion. All right, a couple other games 999 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 2: to capture here. We gotta mention UTEP. 1000 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 4: We're talking minor Nation out in the west. Tis in 1001 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 4: town of the past, So. 1002 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 2: Picks up Minor Nation. I hope we hear from you 1003 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 2: this weekend. On the voicemails, they're playing Abilene Christian. Are 1004 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 2: you gonna be looking for Abilene or is it first 1005 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 2: game verse? Third game? Here? You're a little too worried. 1006 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm definitely looking at the under here. Abilene Christian 1007 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,240 Speaker 4: is no greater than Steven F. Austin. That game ended 1008 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 4: what thirty eight points? Abilene? You know, like I said, 1009 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 4: they're kind of a mystery. They finished five and seven 1010 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 4: last year. They lost players on the depth chart to 1011 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 4: graduation and opt outs. They do have a quarterback returning, 1012 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 4: Samajs Davis. He rushed for six hundred and twenty one 1013 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 4: yards that's gonna give UTEP some problems because Demmel came 1014 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 4: out this week and said, we took bad angles and 1015 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 4: had bad tackling and we're gonna get it corrected. Your UTEP, 1016 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 4: how have you not figured out how to tackle? How 1017 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 4: are you still taking bad angles? It's your second game 1018 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 4: of the year, not even your so you think he'd 1019 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 4: have this figured out. But you know, Ableene's nothing to 1020 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 4: write home about. Games should probably be a coin flip, 1021 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 4: so it's to be determined. I might end up on 1022 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 4: Abilene christian As. This is the latest game on the late. 1023 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 2: Texas State Brady McBride update going to ULM who is 1024 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 2: just an absolute disaster and got railroaded by army anything. 1025 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 4: There no nothing for me. I mean they're still struggling 1026 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 4: from a defensive coordinator perspective. Brady McBride not cleared as 1027 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 4: of Wednesday, but practicing with the ones. Spabittol is not 1028 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 4: being specific about the protocols that are in place. Won't 1029 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 4: say if he had COVID or if it was contact tracing. 1030 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 4: What I do know is an SMU ran for one 1031 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 4: hundred and seventy seven yards on the Texas State defense 1032 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 4: and UTSA just had their way with this Texas State defense. 1033 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 4: ULM will not have a vice group of limited possessions 1034 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 4: put on them like what Army did. So I expect 1035 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,280 Speaker 4: ULM to have some success here. But if Brady McBride 1036 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 4: is playing, I'm gonna stick with my bet. If he's 1037 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 4: out for this game, you're gonna see me buy all fast, 1038 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 4: real fast. 1039 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't bring myself to bet Ulm. All right, 1040 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 2: before we go three and out, let's get a little 1041 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 2: FC yes or no, Southland, a. 1042 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,760 Speaker 1: Big Sky or big ten. It's time to play ABC. 1043 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 2: Yes or no. That's Citadel. Some of you might remember 1044 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 2: the Citadel led Bama at the half. Oh, Twitter was electric. 1045 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 2: Then now they will take on Clemson. Any thoughts here. 1046 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 4: You know, looking at the last time Clemson faced a 1047 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 4: real triple option offense, you know, because Jordan's been a 1048 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 4: while for Georgia Tech. I think forty five is a 1049 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 4: little bit too much, Actually I'm not. I mean, listen, 1050 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 4: Clemson's defense I think maybe the best in the country, 1051 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 4: especially in the front seven. They're going to plug the 1052 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 4: gaps on Citadel, should prevent them from scoring. But crazier 1053 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 4: things have happened. I think Dabbo treats this as an 1054 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 4: exhibition game, as he did before. I think the better 1055 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 4: play is probably the under fifty seven and a half 1056 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 4: or maybe Citadel under their team total, because I really 1057 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 4: feel like the defense is going to play their part 1058 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 4: in this game. But it's all cruise control and base 1059 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 4: plays from the second string and the second order for Clemson. 1060 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I might look look at some Citadel second half. 1061 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 2: All right, before we get out of here, let's go 1062 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 2: three and out two. Let's make it a quick three 1063 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 2: and out. All right, first down, we have some Friday 1064 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 2: night lights. 1065 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 4: That's here, gentlemen, clear eyes, full hearts. 1066 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 2: Let's go play some football. This year, we have limited 1067 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 2: weekday games. Maybe we're gonna get the MAC and they'll 1068 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 2: give us some November weekday games. But we do have 1069 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 2: one Friday night game. It involves the Campbell University Camels 1070 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 2: from Boy's Creek, North Carolina. 1071 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 1: Come home, chuck me out. 1072 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 2: The Campbell Fighting Camels roll humps almost put off the 1073 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 2: upset against Georgia Southern last week last week was unbelievable. 1074 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 2: And to now be on ESPN, there's nothing like that. 1075 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 4: Your FBS program. 1076 00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,760 Speaker 2: Don't get on ESPN Friday night. Man, it's an unbelievable 1077 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,919 Speaker 2: opportunity for us and we're thankful for They will now 1078 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 2: take on Coastal Carolina this week, who pulled off the 1079 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,879 Speaker 2: upset against Kansas last week. On Friday night, these two 1080 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 2: teams will meet. Take it away, Colin. 1081 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 4: Listen. If you're if you know who Campbell is, then 1082 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 4: you must be a college baseball fan. They made the 1083 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 4: College World Series, well not a omaha of portion. They 1084 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,319 Speaker 4: made the Regionals last two years. So we know who 1085 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 4: the Campbells are. And I've got plenty more campbl jifts 1086 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 4: queued up and ready to roll. But let's talk about 1087 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 4: Campbell football. Their quarterback Hodj Malik Williams. If you have 1088 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 4: not gotten eyes on this kid, he is a true 1089 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,879 Speaker 4: dual threat. He is amazing at quarterback, and he's going 1090 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,840 Speaker 4: to give Coastal more problems than Kansas could ever dream. 1091 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 4: But let's get down to what the bet is for me. 1092 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 4: I'll have an article going up tomorrow. You can get 1093 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 4: a full game, preview, sides, totals, everything on Action Network. 1094 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,400 Speaker 4: Let's just break it down and say that you should 1095 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 4: go read that. But my bet for you know, for 1096 00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 4: the podcast here is based upon the fact that can 1097 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 4: imble average twenty seconds twenty seven seconds per play. Coastal 1098 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 4: Carolina averaged thirty point four seconds per play. Coastal was 1099 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 4: handed that game on a platter. Their starting field position 1100 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 4: was at the forty. They had, you know, turnover city 1101 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,399 Speaker 4: havoc all over Kansas. Kansas couldn't have made Coastal look 1102 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 4: any better. And do you know how many explosive drives 1103 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,799 Speaker 4: Coastal had? None? So Kansas made them look extremely good, 1104 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 4: but they weren't explosive. And these aren't up tempo teams. 1105 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 4: And considering that Sally just dumped a whole bunch of 1106 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 4: water and the wind is projected to be over you know, 1107 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 4: double digit wins, that could mess with the kicking game. 1108 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 4: I'm taking an under here. 1109 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 2: Some of the we will have college It looks like 1110 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 2: we're gonna have college basketball, but no Thanksgiving Eve. It's 1111 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:48,280 Speaker 2: gonna start as the announcement, which makes me very happy. 1112 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 2: We'll love college basketball podcast here as well. Campbell Eustaid 1113 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 2: college baseball. College basketball fans will also know Campbell for 1114 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 2: Chris Clemens, who recently graduated. He's a third all time 1115 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,680 Speaker 2: leading scorer in college basketball history. Oh and by the way, 1116 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 2: before we move on to second down, make sure you 1117 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 2: subscribe unsubscribe. Rate review really helps us out. And when 1118 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,399 Speaker 2: you go to look at our podcast episode, don't forget 1119 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,439 Speaker 2: about that link to the free contest for a shot 1120 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 2: to win a trip to Vegas. All right, let's move 1121 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,840 Speaker 2: on to second down, and let's talk favorite overdogs. 1122 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 4: It's called the overdogs Parlay. 1123 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,800 Speaker 2: It's basically our favorite favorite of the week. I'll start, 1124 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 2: I'm going Western Kentucky minus fourteen. I know the offense 1125 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 2: looked really bad last week. They had like a fumbled punt, 1126 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 2: they were covered inside the three. All their scoring drives 1127 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,840 Speaker 2: were like under thirty yards. But they were playing a 1128 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 2: really good Louisville team and their defense really showed out. 1129 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 2: D'Angel Malone, by the way I mentioned last week is 1130 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,120 Speaker 2: all American caliber will play in the NFL defensive end. 1131 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 2: He had eight tackles, a sack, three and a half 1132 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 2: tackles for a lost stud. We know the Western Kentucky 1133 00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 2: defense is awesome, Top twenty caliber. They bring everything back. 1134 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 2: The offense brings a lot back to the only question 1135 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 2: was Pigram at quarterback. You know you have Walker in 1136 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 2: the backfield, all conference potential back. Pigram can run the ball, 1137 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 2: he was kind of if he throwing it, but he 1138 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 2: was going against you know, a Power five team. He 1139 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 2: now gets the Liberty defense. Huge step down. And this 1140 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 2: Liberty team, I mean, they have a new look. They 1141 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: set records on offense last year. But guess who's gone, 1142 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:31,879 Speaker 2: Buckshot Calvert, you know, Gandy Golden is now on the Redskins. 1143 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 2: Their running back Hicks in their four year starter dof 1144 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,080 Speaker 2: at guard. All the senior cornerstones of that record setting 1145 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 2: offense are gone. They also have, you know, so their 1146 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 2: new quarterbacks Malik Willis. I think they have an oor listed, 1147 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 2: but I think they're gonna go with Willis, who's an 1148 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 2: Auburn transfer. Just a lot of questions. And then on defense, 1149 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 2: they only returned four starters they had due to, you know, 1150 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,839 Speaker 2: racial insensitivity. There was a couple of corners who were 1151 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,000 Speaker 2: really good, some of their highest recruits. They decided to 1152 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 2: leave the program in the summer. 1153 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 3: I've said to these young people repeatedly, and I say 1154 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 3: it again, you are the hope of Amera. When you 1155 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 3: leave the graduation platform of Liberty, I want you to 1156 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,280 Speaker 3: leave it running, leave in running with a vision burning 1157 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:14,959 Speaker 3: in your soul. 1158 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 2: The linebackers are really bad. Which might end up dooming 1159 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 2: them against Western Kentucky. And again, Western Kentucky played Louisville 1160 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 2: last week. This is Liberty's first game, and something else 1161 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 2: to keep in mind. Liberty doesn't have a kicker. I 1162 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 2: mean they have a kicker, but they don't have a kicker. 1163 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 2: Probert transferred to I believe Iowa State. Hugh Freeze recently said, 1164 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 2: like we don't have a kicker, We're just gonna like 1165 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 2: go for it a lot. 1166 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 4: You don't cuss, you don't drink, so what are your vices? 1167 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 2: I have been known to chew a bit of tobacco 1168 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 2: when I get a little tired or watching fielm So 1169 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 2: with a new quarterback and a new quarterback, a brand 1170 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 2: new offense going against this Western Kentucky defense, you might 1171 00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 2: get a number of fourth down stops, which I think 1172 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 2: can lead to points for Western Kentuck. So Hugh Freeze 1173 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 2: is back at it again. Liberty doesn't have a kicker, 1174 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 2: apparently like they have one, but they don't trust them, 1175 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 2: so that should be interesting to watch. I'm laying the fourteen. 1176 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 2: Wouldn't lay anything more than that, but that's my favorite 1177 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,479 Speaker 2: overdall of the week. Give me the. 1178 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 4: Tops as there's always a new chapter with this Liberty team, 1179 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,320 Speaker 4: especially with Hugh Freeze there. I think one thing to 1180 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 4: keep an eye on in that game is there was 1181 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 4: a statement that came out of Liberty's practices where I 1182 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 4: believe free said they want to be the fastest team 1183 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 4: in the country, way faster than they've ever been and 1184 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 4: the fastest in the country. So keep your eyes on that. 1185 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 4: With that total, I'm gonna pivot. I actually thought I 1186 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 4: was gonna go Central Florida or Oklhoma State on this podcast. 1187 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm going SMU. If you look and see 1188 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 4: what Houston Baptist did to this North Texas defense, it 1189 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 4: was unbelievable. I think six hundred yards of offense and 1190 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 4: just running at light speed when Hans Solo puts some 1191 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 4: millennium falcon and warp speed. That's what this game is 1192 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 4: going to be. Between the air rate of SNU going 1193 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 4: up against North Texas, you know, defense be gone. Although defense, 1194 00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 4: you know, SMU I think can play defense here. I 1195 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 4: think they will have stops against North Texas. North Texas's 1196 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 4: defense is really just eleven lawn chairs lined up to 1197 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 4: look like a four to three. It's not gonna be 1198 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 4: able to stop anything what Sunny Dykes is trying to 1199 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 4: do with SMU. Look for a good number, bet MGM. 1200 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 4: Is it fourteen right now? I would approve that. I 1201 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 4: think we make the game twenty in action for a projection, 1202 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 4: but really this is just going to be a warp speedfest. 1203 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 4: And if you know anything about air raid offenses, they'd 1204 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 4: like to stay in rhythm, so they tend to stay 1205 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 4: on the field more and not cut game short. So 1206 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 4: I expect to get at least three quarters, maybe into 1207 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, even if it's like a thirty five 1208 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 4: point lead. So give me some U and my overdog. 1209 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 2: There you have it SMU and Western Kentucky. All right, 1210 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 2: And before we get out of here, finally it's our 1211 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 2: favorite money line underdogs of the week turning good weekends 1212 00:59:55,120 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 2: into great weekends. It's time for the money line parlay. 1213 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 2: Last week I somehow hit Arkansas State. Shout out the 1214 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 2: Jadams again. This young man is an absolute freak. Even 1215 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 2: though they were out eight starters and Colin almost made 1216 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 2: it a double with South Alabama, who blew a late 1217 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 2: lead against Tulane. So for anyone who parlayed them, that 1218 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 2: nineteen to one was very close. We have obviously have 1219 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,200 Speaker 2: a many shots to profit if you did parlay them. 1220 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 2: So for this week, I was gonna go Georgia Southern, 1221 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 2: but they're now pretty much a favorite, so not going there. 1222 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 2: Houston very good choice in my opinion, but I'm gonna 1223 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 2: go BC. I like the upside of this. I'm gonna 1224 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 2: be a complete hypocrite. They haven't played a game yet, 1225 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 2: They're going through all kinds of changes. They're playing a 1226 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 2: duke team that played last week against Notre Dame. But 1227 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 2: I liked the upside of this team, and I wasn't 1228 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 2: overly impressed with Duke. They came out, you know, they 1229 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 2: kind of showed their hand what they're gonna do. They 1230 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 2: were running no huddle early. They dominated the first quarter, 1231 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,479 Speaker 2: then kind of faded away. But I love the hire 1232 01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 2: of Jeff Hafley's one of the PC's one of the 1233 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 2: those brilliant defensive minds in all of football, especially in 1234 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 2: the secondary. And they have some, you know, transfers coming 1235 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 2: in that I think are gonna help. But I think 1236 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 2: he's just gonna improve that secondary, which is a huge 1237 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 2: weakness last year. Significantly. The linebacker group is a strength. 1238 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,880 Speaker 2: They all come back it's just gonna transform that secondary 1239 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 2: to a much more productive unit. They did lose aj 1240 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 2: Dillon at running back, but they got Bailey coming back, 1241 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 2: and they have an excellent offensive line. It's one of 1242 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 2: the best in the ACC. They have two or three 1243 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 2: guys that could be all ACC and they have two 1244 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 2: quarterbacks listed on the depth chart. They might go with 1245 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 2: two they haven't named. The Staria Dennis Grosselo started last 1246 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,919 Speaker 2: year and Phil Djerkovic, which is why I'm betting this game. 1247 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 2: I love this kid, Notre Dame transfer. I hope they 1248 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 2: go with him. He throws a beautiful deep ball. I 1249 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 2: think he could take this offense to the next level 1250 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 2: with Bailey running the ball and that excellent offensive line. 1251 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 2: Look out for Jalen Gill four star Oklahoma State trans 1252 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 2: they're gonna use him in the back that they're gonna 1253 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 2: use him a receiver, just an explosive player. So I 1254 01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 2: think that this this BC team has high up. It 1255 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 2: can go really wrong and there's a lot of change, 1256 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 2: but I think it's a good underdog moneyline piece for 1257 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 2: this weekend against Duke, so give me the Eagles. 1258 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 4: Last week I went with a dog that was an 1259 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 4: eleven point underdog this week not so much kind of 1260 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,800 Speaker 4: a week underdog. I'm gonna stick with Miami for everything 1261 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 4: that I said earlier in the podcast. I think dear 1262 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 4: King is going to show us why why I ran 1263 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,960 Speaker 4: to Vegas and was betting him on Heisman numbers when 1264 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 4: he was playing for Houston. I believe in that kid forever, 1265 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,920 Speaker 4: so I'm gonna stick with Miami. I think the defense 1266 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 4: stuffs up and stops Cunningham and hopefully you and I 1267 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 4: cash this underdog moneyline parlay. 1268 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 2: There you have it. That'll wrap it up for us. 1269 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening. Thank you as always for joining Colin. 1270 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 2: We will be back.
