That is ten 10 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: of our last eleven plays here on the podcast have cash. Okay, 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: so this is not normal. Okay, this is not typical, 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: but it's a hell of a lot of fun when 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: we're doing this and we're rolling like this, and I 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: love seeing the tickets. I love that you guys are cashing. 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: I love that you guys are Some of you guys 16 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: are parlaying these picks, and I don't like that you 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: do that. But okay, you know, if it cashes once 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: in a while, while congratulations, that's cool. You guys get 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: a couple of big hits out of it. But you know, 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: five to oho five and one is not typical. If 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: you've listened to this podcast. You know that we're more 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: traditionally three and two, four and one, you know, on 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: good days, but we also can go through three and 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: threes and twos and twos a lot. So for the week, 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: we went twenty and fifteen, up one and a half 26 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: units or closer to two units, somewhere between one point 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: five and two units being up on the week. So 28 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: another winning week, Great February, winning month. January was bad. 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: We're still climbing out of the hole, but got a 30 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: good month of February, first week of March. We'd get 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: a winning week in March, which is tremendous because we 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: didn't get off to a great start, but obviously closing 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: the week on a ten to one run is just 34 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: tremendous and just really really cool. So just to recap 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: quickly where we were, somehow the Jets and the Maple 36 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: Leafs went over. That game was zero zero going into 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: the second period, and we got seven goals. Third period 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: goals in the NHL insane, just absolutely insane with what 39 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: we're seeing for goals in the third period. So that 40 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 1: hits at minus one oh six. That was great. Alabama 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: with just a miracle cover against Tennessee more on Alabama 42 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: here in a couple of seconds, Georgetown throttles Creighton bad 43 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: for a team that only has good now is owen 44 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: three in the Biggies Tournament final and they've never won 45 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: more than one game in the dance. That's a horrible 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: performance by Greg mcdermod's team. And just I don't know 47 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: if the emotionals and the emotions or just a bad 48 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: matchup or what it was, but credit Georgetown. Congratulations, they're 49 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: going to the dance. 50 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: That stole a bid. 51 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: And that's a huge win for Patrick Ewing in the 52 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: house that he built at MSG. So the plus eight 53 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: it is easy. They won by what three against Creighton. 54 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: Illinois comes through with a win over Iowa. 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: Sorry, Iowa. I told you guys. You're a good team. 56 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: Okay, you're a good basketball team. You're just not elites. 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: You're just not in the top ten. You're just not 58 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in college basketball. No matter 59 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: how much you think you are, you're not. You're not 60 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: athletic enough, you're not good enough on defense. Guars is 61 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a decent player. Okay, he's overrated because of where he 62 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: is as the age he's playing in, the size that 63 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: he is in college basketball, but he's a late first 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: round pick. I guess he's a guy that will sit 65 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: in the NBA. He'll play ten years in the NBA, okay, 66 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: but he'll be the thirteenth guy on the bench. It's 67 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: a damn good living, not knocking it. But that's what 68 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Luca Garza is, Okay. He's a pick that will go 69 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: like twenty four to twenty five in the draft and 70 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: he'll just play, you know, ten fifteen years and bank 71 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: a lot of money and just be a backup center 72 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: in the NBA for the rest of his life. 73 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: So that's just what the guy is. 74 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: And you know, that's no disrespect for him because he's 75 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: a really good player. 76 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 2: He's just I don't think Iowa is very good. Okay. 77 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: They're gonna kill whoever they play in their first game, 78 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: and I think they win. They win their first game, 79 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: they lose their second game without even seeing the draw. 80 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that's what Iowa's gonna That's what I 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: was gonna do. Okay, They're gonna win their first game 82 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: by like thirty and then they're gonna lose their second game. 83 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: We'll see the draw coming up tomorrow or today. But 84 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: that's where I think is gonna happen for Iowa. So 85 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: we got those and then the Karl Anthony Towns over hit. 86 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: We're now nine and two on NBA props. 87 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: That's great. 88 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. If we continue like this, 89 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: I will think about redoing or upping my bet total 90 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: from a quarter unit, which I always do on props 91 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: as a quarter unit, if we go like sixteen and 92 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: four after twenty of these, if we're sixteen and four, 93 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: I'll start betting half a units because we'll have banked 94 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: enough money for me to op it and say, Okay, 95 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: let's try to go half unit and watch me go. 96 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Its cold when I do that. But I'm gonna stay 97 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: with a quarter unit for now. I got two prop 98 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: bets to give you here, one NBA play and a 99 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: couple of college basketball plays today to give you. But 100 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: I am I'm eyeballing this. Okay, nine and two is 101 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: nine and two. That's a pretty good mark. Let's see 102 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: what we go for the rest of the next ten. 103 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: Let's see where we go. But nine and two is 104 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: nine and two, and that's that's pretty good. So we 105 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: got cat or late third, early fourth. He got to 106 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: twenty four points to catch that for us. So here's 107 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: where we are going in to Sunday. Okay, So we 108 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: have John Rahm going into the the players. It will 109 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: cover if he comes in the top ten. It will 110 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: cover the Web Simpson loss and the loss for Patrick 111 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 1: Cantlay who did not make the cut in this event. 112 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: He's in the top ten right now plus two hundred, 113 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: so I rom stays there. That's fine. We're flat on 114 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: the whole weekend for the players, which is fine better 115 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: than being down. We've got Illinois going on today against 116 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: Ohio State in the Big Ten final. We have Illinois 117 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: at plus two seventy five. I only bet a quarter 118 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: unit on this, okay, So I'm not gonna hedge if 119 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: you bet more than a quarter unit, and maybe you 120 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: bet a half a unit. I understand if you want 121 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: to hedge this. If you say, look, I have enough 122 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: invested that at plus two to oh five, it's worth 123 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: the go take Ohio State and guarantee a profit. 124 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: I have no problem with you doing that. For me. 125 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hope Illinois wins the game and wins 126 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: the tournament and we cash it plus two seventy five. 127 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: It's not worth it. For me, I'm just gonna let 128 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: it ride at a quarter unit. Let's let it ride 129 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: if you have a full unit on it, Hedge, I 130 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: only have a quarter, So I'm letting Illinois A plus 131 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: two seventy five. 132 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: I'm letting that go. 133 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: So ILLINOI plus two seventy five plus two hundred, both 134 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: going into Sunday here for bets that we'll be decided today. 135 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: So if both those bets catch, that's tremendous. That's a 136 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: really nice little bounce for us here on a Sunday 137 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: to start the week off on a good note. So 138 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: let's get to two college basketball games, and then let's 139 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: get to the three NBA games that I've got going on. 140 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Let's start with LSU and Alabama here. Okay, so Alabama 141 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: is laying six. You're probably gonna get a better number 142 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: than this because the public's gonna come in here in 143 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: bet Alabama. 144 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: Bama's being projected as. 145 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: A two seed. Win or lose here today, they're gonna 146 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: be a two seed in the NCAA Tournament. LSU is 147 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: being projected as a seven seed by ESPN's bracketology before 148 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: this game. My guess is if they win, they might 149 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: move into the sixth line if they beat Alabama. So 150 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: they are playing for something here coming up today. LSU 151 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: is eighteen and eight on the year. Okay, they're thirteen 152 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: and six in the conference. They've won four games in 153 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: a row and Will Wade is a really, really good coach. 154 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: Alabama's not gonna have Primo today because of an injury. 155 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: He may be back for the tournament, but it's one 156 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: of the best three point shooters for Alabama who won't 157 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: be available. LSU has covered the last three games, two 158 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: of which they've won. The game outright as dogs against 159 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: Missouri plus three and a half, they won by six. 160 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: Ole miss they won. 161 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: They were one point favorite, one by three, and yesterday 162 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: against Arkansas catching three and a half, they won by seven. 163 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: Alabama destroyed Mississippi State in their first game here in 164 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: the tournaments by thirty seven points. As seven and a 165 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: half point favorites. We were on that, and then we 166 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: were on Alabama against Tennessee minus four and they covered 167 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: by one. They barely covered with free throws late we 168 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: had three closed at four and they won by five. 169 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: It was some had four and a half. It was 170 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: a complete and total sweat for people who were on 171 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: Alabama yesterday, and I didn't like the way Bama played 172 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: in the first stelf. I didn't like the way that 173 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: they played in the second half. I really didn't like 174 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: the way they played. They rallied and played really well. 175 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: But I think Alabama is ripe here to lose the 176 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: game outright now. They may come back on LSU. I 177 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: think you guys may get a better number than I got. 178 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: I got LSU plus six. I think the public will 179 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: come in and bet this number up. You may get 180 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: six and a half, you may get seven. But I 181 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: think LSU is waking up today angrier, hungrier, and simply 182 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: wanting it more than Alabama. I love Natoates, I love 183 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: the Crimson Tide, but when they get to this point 184 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: where everyone just assumes they're gonna roll, Look what happened 185 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: with Georgetown yesterday. 186 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: Look at some of these. 187 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: To me, the conference finals, it really matters who wants 188 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: it more. It's why I'm afraid of Ohio State in 189 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Illinois for that matter. Ohio State wants it more. Illinois 190 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: has a great coach. I love Brett Underwood, but like 191 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: I could easily see Ohio State winning the game today 192 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: or at least covering the six points today against Illinois. 193 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: That game scares me. This game scares me. If I'm 194 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: betting Alabama, I'm laying six in Alabama. Uh uh, I 195 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: can't do it. I just is too heavy to me 196 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: in a game that I think is gonna be very, 197 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,359 Speaker 1: very close, even though Alabama has whipped LSU in both matchups. 198 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: When they played them in Tuscle loose so they won 199 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: by eighteen points as eight and a half point favorites. 200 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: When they played at LSU, they won by thirty. As 201 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: one point favorites, they won by thirty. 202 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: I think Will. 203 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: Wade's going to figure out a game plan here to 204 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: keep this game close the whole. I don't buy the 205 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: whole stupid adage like it's tough to beat their team 206 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: three teams in a row. There are three games in 207 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: one season. Maybe maybe not. I don't buy that. I 208 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: think LSU just wants it more. I think LSU is healthier. 209 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: LSU was hungry here. I think their perimeter defense is 210 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: going to get out in Alabama, and I think this 211 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: is a team that's found its way here. 212 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the six points here. 213 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: LSU plus six, let's fade Bama in the final of 214 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: the ls of the SEC championship game. Bama Way may win, 215 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: but I think LSU keeps it within six. Take the 216 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: six points. The other play is I'm kind of gonna 217 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: fade what I just said and kind of forget everything 218 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: I just said. So Houston is taking on Cincinnati in 219 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: the championship game, and it is I mean the numbers. 220 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: Third, teen and a half. 221 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: It is scary to lay thirteen and a half in 222 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: a championship game because Cincinnati just beat SMU and Wichita State. 223 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: The witch Just State game was the shocker. That was 224 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: the Oh my goodness. But here's the thing about playing 225 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: three games in three days. Houston plays defense. I don't 226 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: hate an underplay on this. It's one thirty seven. I 227 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't hate playing the under because I don't think anyone's 228 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: gonna score. But if you remember, I bet Cincinnati plus 229 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: plus twelve and a half about three weeks ago, and 230 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: Houston won it by thirty eight points. I think Houston 231 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: is gonna kill Cincinnati today in the championship game, and 232 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna have to worry too much. 233 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: They got by Memphis. 234 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: They were seven point favorites and they won by two 235 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: they beat TWU Lane by twenty five as eighteen and 236 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: a half point favorites, and I think the same thing's 237 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: gonna happen here. Cincinnati can't score all right, They're just 238 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: not a good basketball team offensively, and I think when 239 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: you have tired legs, it may it's even more difficult 240 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: for you. Since he's twelve to ten on the year, 241 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: they're ten and six in the conference. And sure they've 242 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: won the last three games, but I mean they beat 243 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: which It to Top sixty to fifty nine, They're gonna 244 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: have to score way more than sixty points if they're 245 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna beat Houston. 246 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that they can. 247 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Houston in that game scored ninety on them, 248 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: ninety to fifty two. That's about the ceiling that I 249 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: would give. And you want to go team totals, you 250 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: want to look at, you know, Cincinnati under team totals 251 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: or Houston over team totals. Those maybe good bets to 252 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: make as well. I just think cin Cincinnati's not gonna 253 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: be able to keep pace with Houston. I think their defense, rebounding, 254 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: the way they play, they won't hit a. 255 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: Ton of threes today. 256 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: So that's why I think the under is probably a 257 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: decent bet, but I could see them winning the game 258 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: like sixty to forty. Okay, I think it's gonna be 259 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: a really ugly, ugly basketball game. But I'm gonna lay 260 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: the thirteen and a half points here with Houston at 261 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: a half a unit. So LSU plus six half a 262 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: unit and Houston minus thirteen and a half, both in 263 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: title games at a half a unit. Okay, So let's 264 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: go to the NBA here, and let's I'm not gonna 265 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: get too cute with this breakdown. Boston is playing at Houston. 266 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: Okay. This is a bad, bad, bad Rockets team. 267 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: Anybody that needs to get right should go play against 268 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: the Rockets because you're gonna get right. The Rockets are 269 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: the worst team in the NBA, and I don't think 270 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: they've got an answer for really anybody right now. They 271 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: just cannot stop anyone, and I a pardon me, feels 272 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: bad for them. I mean, they're so banged up that 273 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: they may be a bit more healthy coming up today. 274 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: They make it a couple of players back, but they've 275 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: been just the you know, everyone is just killing the 276 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. And this game's at home, so we'll see 277 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: what's at Christian Wood's probable. John Wallace out houses out, 278 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: Gordon is out, PJ. Tucker is out because they're trading him, 279 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: Xum is out. I mean, it's just you know, they don't. 280 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: Have anybody right now. 281 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: Okay, I got Boston minus ten. I don't think we 282 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: need to get too cute with this. We're going Celtics 283 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: minus ten here to beat up on this really bad team. 284 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Boston seventeen and twenty against the number, which 285 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. Houston is twelve and twenty four. 286 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: They covered against Utah because the number closed at nineteen 287 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: and they lost by fifteen open up at twelve. Okay, 288 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: it was steamed all the way up to nineteen where 289 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: it didn't cover. But every other game before that they 290 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: haven't covered even ten and a half points. Against Brooklyn 291 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: at home, they lost by eighteen. Celtics, I think are 292 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: just gonna roll here. Boston is covered once in their 293 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: last four games. This is a perfect situation for them 294 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: to go to Houston and get a big, big w 295 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: and blow out the Houston Rockets. I'm gonna lay the 296 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: ten points Boston minus ten at Houston, and I've got 297 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: one player prop going here in this game, and we're 298 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: gonna go and grab Jason Tatum. Number two on the 299 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Betting Pros prop bet cheat sheet is Jason Tatum. Twenty 300 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: four and a half is the number I got. You 301 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: can get it at FANDUE at minus one oh eight 302 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 1: to other books. Books have it at twenty four and 303 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: a half for Jason Tatum, and he scored thirty one points, 304 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: five rebounds in three assists in the loss to the 305 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: Nets on Thursday. The Betting Pros cheat sheet both likes 306 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown to go over and Jason Tatum to go over. 307 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: The total in this game is two twenty four, which 308 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: isn't too high, but it's still a little inflated. 309 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: You know. 310 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: That's basically all off of Boston expecting Boston to score 311 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: quite a bit here. So if you look at overall 312 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: team totals for Boston, it's one seventeen and a half 313 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: is what the team total is expected for the Boston Celtics. 314 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: So who's going to score the majority of the points 315 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: Kemba Walker, Jalen Brown, and Jason Tatum. So all three 316 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: are on the Betting Pros prop bet cheat sheet here 317 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: and they're all in the top seven for going over 318 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: their point totals against the Rockets. Number two is Tatum. 319 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: Number three is Brown. I'm just gonna stay with Tatum. Okay, 320 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: just going to stay with Tatum. And we casted it 321 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: last time. It's twenty four and a half. The projection 322 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: is twenty seven and a half, three point to value. 323 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: Let's just stay with. 324 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum over for a quarter unit at minus one 325 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: oh eight and then the second play at at a 326 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: quarter unit is Serge Ibaka. So Serge Ibaka is number 327 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: four on the betting Pros cheat sheet. Sure, Sergebaca scored 328 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: sixteen points and had fourteen rebounds in the win over 329 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: the Clippers. For sorry, the win for the Clippers over 330 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: the Warriors one thirty to one oh four on Thursday, 331 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: and the total for this game is up there right 332 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: now for the Clippers taking on the New Orleans Pelicans. 333 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: So when you start looking at totals at two thirty 334 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: six and a half, okay to thirty six and a half, 335 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: Serge of Bacca has been playing pretty well. And there 336 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: was a story in the I think it was La Times. 337 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: I just read one of the La papers on Serge 338 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: Ibaka's what they've been using, how they've been utilizing him 339 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: and what they expected him coming out of the All 340 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Star Break, and how he's going to be a bigger 341 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: part of the offense for them going forward because he 342 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: hasn't had as big of an impact as they want 343 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: to have him to have on their offenses. So he's 344 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: averaging eleven point two points per game, and he's a 345 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: guy who can get hot and can really be a 346 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: big part. He scored zero points in the game before 347 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: the All Star Break, so he wasn't very happy about that. 348 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: So we scored sixteen points last time out for the zero. 349 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: It was seven, fifteen, twelve, and thirteen. So the number 350 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: for Serge Ibaka is ten and a half. Okay, ten 351 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: and a half points. This is against the team in 352 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans that really they don't play much post defense 353 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: as we know, and they don't play defensally at all. Okay, 354 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: two thirty six and a half rebounds, free throws, Just 355 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: score eleven points. Sergeabaka averages eleven points. Just get to 356 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: your average and we cash with Sergeabaka. I like this 357 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: prop a lot given the total. As long as he 358 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: stays out a foul trouble, I think Serge Ibaka goes 359 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: over pretty easily ten and a half points at miss 360 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: one to eight and FanDuel. 361 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: Other books also similar odds. 362 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: Similar juice for Sergebaca over ten and a half points 363 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: tonight here on the. 364 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: Prop bedsheet sheet. 365 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: Okay, so to excuse me to recap all the plays 366 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: ROM plus two hundred top ten at the players watching 367 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: that Illinois plus two seventy five to win the Big 368 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: ten play in Ohio State in the title game. 369 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: We're watching that. 370 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: We got LSU plus six against Alabama, Houston mins thirteen 371 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: and a half again Cincinnati, we got Boston minus ten, 372 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: Mass one ten and a half a unit, Jason Tatum 373 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: over twenty four and a half points, and Serge Ebaca 374 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: over ten and a half points.
