For the sec 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: our group of five guys did a great job, myself, Colin, 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: Brett McMurphy joined them, and then Colin I did the 26 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: Power five episodes. So if you want to get in 27 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: to the weeds and hear a little bit more, make 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: sure you check out all of those episodes as you 29 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: continue your Week zero, which is five days a week 30 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: and Week one preparation. We'll also share Brett McMurphy's picks, 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: his favorite picks. He sent a couple over at the 32 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: end of the show, and we'll make fun of his 33 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: pick of Stetson Bennett for Heisman. I know you're listening, 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: Brett and watching hopefully. All right, let's get things started, 35 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: and let's start in the Big Ten. I'll give my 36 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: best bet in the Big tenants Nebraska over seven and 37 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: a half wins. I love this team's schedule. I have 38 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 2: them favored in their first nine games, seven by double digits. 39 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: There are only two road games before mid November are 40 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: at Perdue and that run heres that, I mean, doesn't 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: get much easier than that. I think they can get 42 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: off to a hot start. They did lose some key pieces, 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: but I loved what they did in the transfer portal 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: and in the coaching department, bringing Whipple in as the 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. They also addressed special teams. Last year, the 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: amount of special teams and mental errors were laughable, and 47 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: those mistakes were maybe even worse when you consider they 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 2: were oh and eight in one possession games and eight 49 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: and a knife lost by nine points to Ohio State. 50 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: Aught a positive aggression coming to this team's way, especially 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: they could fix the special teams, which I think they did. 52 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: You hopefully the mental layers and the flags go down 53 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: a little bit. But I love Nebraskat schedule. I love 54 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: what they did in the offseason. Give me over seven 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 2: and a half called you agree where you going into 56 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 2: Big ten? 57 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: Completely agree? And then I'm gonna stay in the Big 58 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: Ten and I'm gonna stay with Illinois going under four 59 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah, Brett Bilima and his boys, I 60 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: think are going to have a rough season. Only twenty 61 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: five percent of the offensive line snaps return to this 62 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: offensive attack that wants to be ground and pound exactly 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: in the image of what Brett Bielima wants. Quarterback Tony 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito transfers in from Syracuse. That was a spread 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: offense and now he's going to more of a different style. 66 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: There's a new offensive coordinator in play, so lots of 67 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: changes going on the offensive side of the football for Illinois, 68 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: and they're projected double digit underdogs in at least seven games. 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: They must win Indiana, Virginia, Northwestern just to get to five. 70 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: So under four and a half is a bet that 71 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: in those coin flip games and the ones that they 72 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: should win, that they don't. 73 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: You Fading Brett Bilma shocker elsewhere in the Big Ten. 74 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: I like Ohio State minus two hundred to win the conference. 75 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: I think there's value of that number. I think they're 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: head and shoulders above the rest. They host Michigan at 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: the end of the year, which is huge. I think 78 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: they're back in the conference title game and they'll be 79 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: massive favorites. So give me Ohio State minus two hundred. Look, 80 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: we know the offense. The defense has been the question. 81 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: They bring in Jim Knowles. I think that's just a 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: massive addition. The defense should be competent, more discipline. That's 83 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: the difference. This Ohio State team is loaded in a 84 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: year where college football, in my opinion, is extremely top heavy, 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: and I think it's going to be when it's all 86 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: said and done, Ohio State first Alabama in the National Championship. 87 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: But the Jym Knowles edition is just massive for that defense, 88 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: and that's been the missing piece. So give me Ohio 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: State to win the Big Ten. Colum anything else in 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: the Big ten worth mentioning. 91 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. I'm going to tag onto 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: your Nebraska ben, except I'm going to go to win 93 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: the West Division. It's out there at plus three to sixty. 94 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: You've already mentioned offensive coordinator Mark Whipple coming in. Expect 95 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: them to be a little bit faster, and quarterback Casey 96 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: Thompson comes in from Texas high ceiling, high floor, and 97 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: then the defense needs to be mentioned. They get eighty 98 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: seven percent of their pressures back from last year and 99 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: they were eighth in the nation and finishing drives, they 100 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: were stingy, letting people score. I think that's going to 101 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: be replicated this year and this ticket. It's easy to head. 102 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to wait until right before Thanksgiving when 103 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: they play Wisconsin and Iowa to win the West. So 104 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: Nebraska plus three sixty out of the Big ten. 105 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: Don't hate it all right, let's move on to the SEC. 106 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: We'll start in the SEC East. All my friends from 107 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: Lexington then you go get a jury, you know, make 108 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: yourself a sandwich and turn away or just mute this 109 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: for a couple of minutes. But my favorite bet is 110 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: Kentucky under eight wins. I think you're going to disagreement 111 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: con which is weird. You're going to be the Kentucky guy. 112 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: I'm fading Kentucky. I think there's more questions than answers 113 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: with this team. If you look at the recent success 114 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: with Kentucky, it's all been about the offensive line, the 115 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: big blue wall. There's some questions there. They lost three 116 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: key offensive line I'm in new offensive coordinator comes in, 117 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: have some talent at receiver, but replacing Wandel Robinson is 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: a tall task. He was number one in the country 119 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: a percentage of teams explosive plays at receiver last year. 120 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 2: He did everything for that offense. I'm not as sold 121 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: on will Lewis as some I mean, I'm seeing some 122 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: projections and him going number one overall next year in 123 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: the NFL Draft. There's also questions on the defense and 124 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: this team finally has expectations. And look, there's questions around 125 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: Chris Rodriguez, a star running back. It looks like he's 126 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: going to miss the first couple games, maybe three or 127 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: four games. Why is that important? They play Florida Week two, 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: con I think that it's going to bring us to 129 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: your favorite bet, which is Florida under seven wins. I 130 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: think that that Kentucky Florida game might go a long 131 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: way and determining both teams win totals. But you like 132 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: Florida under seven and are higher on Kentucky. 133 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, I am high on Kentucky, em bullish on them. 134 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: But these recent announcements of suspensions, especially with Chris Rodriguez, 135 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: will see how long they last and how much that 136 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: hasn't effect But I am going to bet Florida under seven. 137 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: Quarterback depth is a real issue here with Emery Jones 138 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: taking off for Arizona State through the transfer portal. Anthony 139 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Richardson remains, but how often was he injured last year? 140 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: That really puts some focus on some depth of the 141 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: quarterback position, which they just don't have. The receiving core 142 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 1: has been completely wiped out. Two of the top seven 143 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: pass catchers from last year are that still remained, but 144 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: that's just not enough for ar you know, to have 145 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: enough weapons around him. And there's new codc's on the 146 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. They're trying to repair a 147 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: secondary that was one hundred and ninth in coverage seventy 148 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: fourth and tackling for the defense as a whole. There 149 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: is a long way to go with the Todd Grantham 150 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: post Todd Grantham. And they draw LSU in Texas A 151 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: and M out of the West. That is not easy whatsoever. 152 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: And they only have one home game after October fifteenth 153 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: on the schedule. If Billy I'm sorry, PM will say 154 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: it again. If you know Billion Apier does not keep 155 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: this roster healthy, and if he doesn't have full health 156 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: from Anthony Richardson, there could be a lot of l's 157 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 1: on this schedule. So I'm going to go under seven 158 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: with Florida. 159 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: You started off this with Fading Pilama and then Billy Naper. 160 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: I'm surprised you said his name. Probably the two least 161 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: shocking bets that we could have expected. But I don't 162 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: hate it, but that Week two game might go a 163 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: long way. The other bet that I have in the 164 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: seas took I threw a flyer on Tennessee fourteen to 165 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: one to win the division. Can they go into I 166 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: know they have Alabama on the schedule, But I love 167 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: the offense. I think the defense can make strides, which 168 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: is going to be the key to this team. But 169 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: if you look at their standard downs last year, they 170 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: were a lot better than the end numbers. They got 171 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: to fix the third down defense. But can they go 172 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: into Athens and get a win. I don't know, but 173 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: I think Kentucky's a bit overvalued. I think Tennessee's clearly 174 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: the second best team in the division. I took a shot. 175 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit of value with Tennessee 176 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: to win the division. So a fun flyer for me. 177 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 2: Anything else in the SEC East worth mentioning. 178 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, some props just got put up since we've done 179 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: our SEC podcast. I'm going to take Spencer Raler under 180 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: two thousand, six hundred and ninety nine passing yards on 181 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: the season he gets, you know, he doesn't get a 182 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: lot of snaps back on the offensive line. This is 183 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: sort of mid range to bottom offensive line and the 184 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: SEC standards, and I'm not sure that that's, you know, 185 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: a great thing, because this offensive line last year was 186 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteenth and havoc allowed. They were one 187 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: hundred and sixteenth and pass blocking and if you know 188 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: anything about Rattler. He needs a clean pocket to get 189 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. But can he get the 190 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: ball down the field? Their biggest weapons are at the 191 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: tight end position. Outside of Josh Van, There's just there's 192 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: no proven players in the wide receiver on the depth 193 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: chart whatsoever. And at Oklahoma he posted twenty five hundred 194 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: yards in twenty twenty in the pandemic season. But now 195 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: you know that was the Oklahoma spread versus going into 196 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: a pro style offense, and I just don't think those 197 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: numbers are going to be available to get up that high. 198 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: Not to mention it's an under so injury, benching, just 199 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: anything could come into play there. But I do like 200 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler under twenty seven hundred yards for the season. 201 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: Let's move on to the SEC West. I'll start with 202 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: my favorite beat Mississippi State over six and a half wins. 203 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: This team is loaded with experience on both sides the ball. 204 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: Most importantly, Will Rodgers comes back at quarterback after an 205 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: outstanding year. It's his third year in Mike Leach's air 206 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: raid system, which is all about that scheme is all 207 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: about timing, repetition. I think he's poised for a huge 208 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: year and if you look back historically, Mike Leach has 209 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: had three three year starting quarterbacks in his coaching career. 210 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: I think Graham Harrow, Cliff Kingsbury, and Luke Fauch. Each 211 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: of those teams won at least nine games. This team 212 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: also positive aggression candidate. They could not make a field 213 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: goal last year, only team the SEC to make under 214 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: seventy percent of the field goals. Kicking was a disaster. 215 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: They went out addressed that in the transfer portal. They 216 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: also were unlucky in the turn of a department. It 217 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: should be four and zero non conference? Can they get 218 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: three wins in a brutal I mean their schedule is 219 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: brutal in the SEC. I think so. I like Mississippi 220 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: State over six and a half. Gimme calbell Yep, yeah, I'm. 221 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: Going to Arkansas over seven. Not hard to shocker, shocker 222 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: that I was gonna take that. But there's reason for 223 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: taking this. I mean, this is an elite offensive line. 224 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: There's a rushing trio behind kJ Jefferson. If you cannot 225 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: stop the rush, you're gonna get be And there's only 226 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: four teams on this schedule that have an elite front seven. 227 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: That's Alabama Mississippi State, Auburn and LSU. The other eight 228 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: teams are not going to be able to defend the 229 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: run here. Plus, I think where I was worried on 230 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: the podcast with the SEC West was their receiving targets. 231 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: With Traylon Burk's moving on to the Tennessee Titans, and 232 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: now you have to wonder who's going to step up. Well, 233 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: that has been answered through scrimmages. Warren Thompson and Jason 234 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: Jayden hazel Wood have both stepped up in scrimmages. They 235 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: are in sync with kJ Jefferson right now. It's just 236 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: night and day what we've seen out of Warren Thompson 237 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: and Camp versus what we had last year. And then 238 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: I was also worried about the nose tackle position, about 239 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: not getting enough pressure. John Ridgway leaves a huge hole there. 240 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: Arkansas has switched to a four man front, so that's 241 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: going to alleviate some of the concerns about getting pressure. 242 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: Two defensive tackles in they've both done extremely well against 243 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: an elite offensive line. Like I said, so I'm taking 244 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: Arkansas over seven because all my worries about them have 245 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: been alleviated through the scrimmages. 246 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: Predictable, Pete, you got Bilama under Napier under an Arkansas over, 247 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: but you're going to give us something else now, team. 248 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 2: I have nothing else in the sec A team that 249 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 2: I'm having trouble projecting because there's just transfers everywhere. They're 250 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 2: going to be extremely transfer reliant and that's ole Mess. 251 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: You like the under win total. Tell us why I. 252 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Don't think Lane Kiffin likes the makeup of his team. 253 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: I think it's in his body language, the way he 254 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: answers questions and some of the things that he says 255 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: after you know, scrimmages and practices. Jackson Dart and Luke 256 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: Altmeyer just have not learned the quarterback position and they 257 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: have not learned the playbook and they're not executing it 258 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: through practices and through scrimmages, and that was a problem 259 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: back in the spring game. So they have massive losses 260 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: at receiver. So again, this is not the mold of 261 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: what Lane Kiffin wants. They're going to be a more 262 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: ground based attack with Zach Evans coming in a running 263 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: back transfer from TCU, And as far as the defense 264 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: is concerned, it's always been a smoking crater for Ole Miss. 265 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: And they've had no upgrades of the defensive line. They 266 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: were bottom twenty and rushing success rate last year and 267 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: six of the top eight tacklers are gone. I have 268 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: not seen any improvement this Ole Miss team whatsoever. I'll 269 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: take an under seven and a half on the ReBs. 270 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe Ole Miss. They start off against Troy, 271 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: so what kind of you know? It looks like on 272 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: paper an easy game, But Troy has some guys on 273 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: that defense, so we'll learn a lot about the offense 274 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: right away for Lane and company. Let's move on to 275 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: the big twelve. Brett is not here to defend his 276 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 2: own wander but I like Oklahoma State under eight and 277 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: a half wins. Talked about Jim Knowles and how important 278 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: I think he's going to be to Ohio State. Well, 279 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: the other side of the coin, I think Oklahoma State 280 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: is really going to miss him on the defensive side 281 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: of the ball, and they were just gutted. Their defensive 282 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: line should be pretty good, but at linebacker and secondary 283 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: just have to replace a lot of production. Yes, Spencer 284 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: Sanders is back on the other side of the ball, 285 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 2: but do you really trust him. He's going to have 286 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: a game where you just you're scratching your head at 287 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: every throw. He does lose his top back, top receiver, 288 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: and there's still some questions, especially with depth on the 289 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: offensive line. This team was extremely fortunate last year. They 290 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: went six and two and one possession games plus eleven 291 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: turnover margin. Look at the boys's stake in they one 292 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 2: because they're an inadverted whistle. So I think it's going 293 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: to be a long year for Oklahoma State. I like. 294 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: I will say that the you know, the floor is 295 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: pretty high, but I liked under eight and a half. 296 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: A lot of what this comes down to is just 297 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 2: showing value in the number and being either lower or 298 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: higher on a team than the market, and in this case, 299 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: I'm lower than the market on Oklahoma State. And there's 300 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: reasons why I also like this. So give me under 301 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: eight and a half with the Pokes. What are you 302 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: seeing in the big twelve. 303 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a team that has absolutely 304 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: shown it in the trenches. They've shown it against the 305 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: spread since coach k has been there. I'm going to 306 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: go with Kansas State over six and a half. The 307 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: transfer of Adrian Martinez from Lincoln down to Manhattan, we 308 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: have no clue how great This Kansas State team could 309 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: be if Adrian Martinez eliminates the turnovers. But the great 310 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: news is he won't be asked to do that much 311 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: because he's going to be in twenty one personnel, multiple 312 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: running backs on the field, and you know, Brett Bielhen 313 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: has said at best last year when they played Nebraska, 314 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: he said, we're only scared of number two. He's the 315 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: only one on that team that could beat us. It 316 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: just goes to show how much he was, how much 317 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Adrian Martinez was used in that Nebraska offense, and now 318 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: he gets a little bit of that weight taking off 319 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: his shoulders. Duce Fawn is one of the best all 320 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: purpose backs in the nation. And then on the defensive 321 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: side of the ball, Felix and enidyke Ozama is one 322 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: of the best defensive linemen, not just in the Big Twelve, 323 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: but in the nation. This team is projected as clear 324 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: favorites in six games, and then they have five coin flips, 325 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: so going over six and a half shouldn't be too 326 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: much of an issue. I think Kansas State is a 327 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: dark horse candidate for winning the Big Twelve. 328 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: Is Texas back? I don't know, but I did play 329 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: them to win the Big Twelve on the price I 330 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: thought was a bit off, So I'm looking forward to 331 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: Kansas ruining that ticket later in the season. But if 332 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: you want to hear more, check out our Big Twelve episode. 333 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: I know you have a few more bets in the 334 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: Big twelve, so I'll give you a little extra time here. 335 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: What else you got in the Big twelve? 336 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick, I'm gonna take TCU to win the 337 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: Big Twelve. That number is still out there anywhere from 338 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: twelve to one up to eighteen to one. I would 339 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: suggest grabbing that because you know, this is a new 340 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: coaching regime. Specifically, defensive coordinator Joseph Gillespie comes in from Tulsa. 341 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: He's one of the best dcs in the nation. You 342 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: can just wipe away all those stats from TCU from 343 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: last year. They were not interested in anything that Gary 344 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: Patterson had to say. And this offense is loaded with 345 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: skill positions and two quarterbacks that are completely capable of 346 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: running it. So we're gonna go TCU to win the 347 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Big Twelve and then Kansas over two and a half. 348 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: Stucky. 349 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: I got Stuffy to join me on the podcast and 350 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: it's over, so hopefully I'm not alone here, but always 351 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: expect head coach Lance Leopold to do more than what 352 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: he has. He did it at Buffalo, now he's doing 353 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: it at Kansas. They beat Texas last year, and that 354 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: he has a steady quarterback now with Jalen Daniels and 355 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: their projected favorites against Tennessee Tech and against Duke. We 356 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: just need to win somewhere else on the schedule, whether 357 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: it's Houston or maybe there's an upset on the conference schedule. 358 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: But oh, Texas, that's the third win, right, Texas is. 359 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: The third win. But we're gonna go over two and 360 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: a half on the Jayhawks. 361 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind it. I like Daniels and I 362 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 2: like where Kansas is trending. I mean, you can't really 363 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: go any further down then where Kansas has been, but 364 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: I think they're headed in the right direction. All right, 365 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: let's move on to the AEC. And by the way, 366 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: I think people have wagers on you how quick how 367 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: long it's going to take for you to mention media days. 368 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if you talking about Lane Kiffin and 369 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 2: how he's talking counts and maybe a technicality might have 370 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: to wait for the word media day, and maybe you'll 371 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: bring it up here with the acc and paton Ardoozy. 372 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: I know you're a fan of him, but I'm going 373 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 2: up Pitt under eight and a half wins. Magical year 374 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 2: last year, but they lost Kenny Pickett, they lost Jordan Addison, 375 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 2: a receiver. They lost their offensive coordinator, Whipple to the Brass. 376 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: We talked about how big we think that's going to 377 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: be for the Courdhuskers also lost a wide receiver coach 378 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: who was really involved in the passing game. Offensive coordinator 379 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 2: they bring in really aligned with Dardouzie. What does our 380 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: news you want to do? They run the ball. He's 381 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: going to get back to his roots here. Him and 382 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: Whipple were just never philosophically aligned. It ended up working 383 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 2: last year. But I think the offense goes back to 384 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: the old hit offense that we were used to say. 385 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: They're going to be in a bunch of close games 386 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: against inferior opponents, so I think the offense takes a 387 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: step back. The defense will be what it is. It's 388 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 2: going to you know, lots of tackles for loss. They 389 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: have pro talent on that defensive line. But I think 390 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 2: this number is a bit too high. You're gonna sell 391 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: me on Pitt. I think to win the division or 392 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: win the ACC. But give me Pitt under eight and 393 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 2: a half. Here's your chance at a rebuttal. 394 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I am taking Pit to win the Coastal, 395 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: not to win all of the ACEC, but to win 396 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: the Coastal. And yes, you're right, they're changing philosophies on 397 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball completely. Frank Signetti Junior 398 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: comes in from Boston College. It's going to be a 399 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: run base attack. You know. Nardozzi spoke at ACC media 400 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: days about how much he loves Kadan slovan is that 401 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: this is the quarterback that he wanted. This is the 402 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: style of offense that Nardozozi wants. They want to get 403 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: in a bare knuckle fistfight with everybody in this conference. 404 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: And now they've got the offense to match the defense 405 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: as far as a you know, a brutality perspective. So, uh, 406 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: there's a big difference between Pitt and Miami schedules to 407 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: play Clemson, Pitt draws Syracuse. So I mean it really 408 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: looking at a three to one to win the Coastal here, 409 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: and it's based upon the fact that there's in I 410 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: think these two teams are within a decimal point of 411 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: win total for me Miami and Pitt, but the difference 412 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: being that the conference late's a little bit easier for Pitt. 413 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: And then I'm going to roll into who I think 414 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: is going to win the ACC and that's NC State. 415 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: Eight to one is the number out there in the market. 416 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: If you can get better than that, I certainly scoop 417 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: that up. But this is the only team in the 418 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: ACC to retain all of their staff. There's been so 419 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: much movement in offensive defensive coordinators, this team has not 420 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: moved an inch as far as their coaching staff goes. 421 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: Same thing for the roster of players. They got seventy 422 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: seven percent of their offense back ninety percent of their 423 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: defense back. Is a roster that beat Clemson last year, 424 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: so there's no mental hurdle about whether they can beat 425 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: the big dog in the conference. They had two conference 426 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: losses in the ACC last year by a combined four points. 427 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: This team is upset and focused, and what got thrown 428 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: into that was in fact, their Holiday Bowl was canceled 429 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: last year. So this team is highly motivated and they 430 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: have the talent to beat anybody in this conference. So 431 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take in State to win the ACC eight 432 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: to one. 433 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at least the first game, the tricky game 434 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: against East Carolina doesn't impact that that. Don't hate the 435 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 2: number for elsewhere in the ACC. I actually played Miami 436 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: to win the division. Take a look on the action 437 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 2: app if you don't follow me there and the number 438 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: that I got and would play it down to. But 439 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 2: I think the difference is well, I think Pitt is 440 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 2: overvalued and Miami host Pitt at the end of the year, 441 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: which I think will ultimately be a difference. I think 442 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: Miami is a good shot of winning the conference. I 443 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: think their coaching changes that they made are exactly what 444 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: that team needed. And if you look at what the 445 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 2: offense did last year once Van Dyke got in there, 446 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: it really took off. I think the defense will show improvement. 447 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: So I like Miami to win the division. And at 448 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech under with three and a half wins, show 449 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: me where therefore wins are. This is a team headed 450 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 2: in the wrong direction, got gutted via the transfer portal. 451 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 2: I don't even know if Jeff Collins makes it through 452 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: the year, I'll make them prove that they can win 453 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: three winnable games on their schedule and then pick up 454 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: an upset somewhere off their schedule is vicious. What else 455 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 2: you see in the ACC one more. 456 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a Boston College under six and a half. 457 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: I mentioned Frank Signetti, offensive coordinator departing for pitt. I 458 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: project these guys just at five wins, and there's plenty 459 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: of new faces on the offensive line, and that offensive 460 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: line has failed to protect Phil Drakovic, one of the 461 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: best arms in the NFL scouted and everything. We don't 462 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: know where his stock is going to fall after this 463 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: upcoming season, but this is an offensive line that continues 464 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: to struggle in pass walking and it's just not a 465 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: good formula offensively when it's been very conservative with running, 466 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: putting it all on Jurkovic to throw on third downs. 467 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: It's just not working. And the offensive line is not 468 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: going to gel this year either. One hundred and eighth 469 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: and Havoc allowed. That should continue. New offensive coreinator John 470 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: McNulty comes in. He was the tight end coach from 471 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. So you can expect more conservative play calling 472 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: out of Boston College, which doesn't really fit the makeup 473 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: of who their quarterback is. So I'm going to go 474 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: Boston College under six and a half. 475 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: Here, Yeah, true. My problem with colleges I trust athlete 476 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: to fix that d and then having trouble projecting. Okay, 477 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: what are we going to get from that offense? Because 478 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: how much was Jerry I mean jerk which clearly wasn't 479 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: healthy last year when he was back in the fold, 480 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 2: so I think his numbers should improve. So I'm pretty 481 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: spot on there, But you make a pretty good case. 482 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to the Pac twelve. My 483 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 2: favorite bet is Washington over seven and a half. Disastrous 484 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: year for the Huskies in twenty twenty one started off 485 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: with a home loss to SCS Montana, but I love 486 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: what they did in the offseason. I think major coaching 487 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: upgrades across the board. Quarterback play should get better with 488 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: transfer Michael Pennocks, so I assume will win that job, 489 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: and he actually thrived under debor Is now the head 490 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: coach when he was the offensive coordinator at Indiana. Do 491 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 2: lose a ton of talent in that secondary, but I 492 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 2: think from a schematic perspective, the changes that they're making 493 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 2: defensely will address the run. Defense was just a siev 494 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: last year. Like some of the guys that they have 495 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: in that secondary, and the schedule is really favorable. I 496 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: think this team at least gets to eight wins. Agree 497 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: on Washington and now what else you're seeing on in 498 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 2: the fact twelve. 499 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: Well, I resent agree on Washington and there on the 500 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: up and I'm with you on that bet. I'm going 501 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: to go A team that I'm not with is USC. 502 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under nine and a half on these guys. Listen, 503 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: there's just there's too many mouths defeat here on offense, 504 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Jordan Addison, Travis Dye. That doesn't even mention 505 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: some of the other stars that they've had to come 506 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: in to this offense. I don't understand how Lincoln Riley 507 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: is going to get the ball spread out enough to 508 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: satisfy what these guys have been able to produce in 509 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: the past, especially Jordan Addison, who's a bolinticof winner, so 510 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, and I think all that boils down to 511 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: the fact that Caleb Williams is going to be allowed 512 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: to run whenever he wants, for scramble yards for designed runs. 513 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: He had over for or designed over four hundred yards 514 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: on designed runs last year. They're not going to take 515 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: that away from him. So you know, I think they're 516 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: going to score a ton of points. We all expect 517 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: them to score fifty every game, but you have to 518 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: play defense. And Alex Grinch comes in from Oklahoma with 519 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and the Trojans. You know last year bottom 520 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: twenty and coverage tackling havoc. These are things that just 521 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: don't get fixed Overnight coaching can only go so far. 522 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: If they can slip into the top one hundred, that's great, 523 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: but you know, Alexcrinch has a history of improving havoc 524 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: with teams he's been at, but success rate and finishing 525 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: drives are a part of it too. That is just 526 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: a really tough, tough hill for them to climb. They're 527 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: gonna be an underdog in three games this season, and 528 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: you know that's gonna expect them to lose those games. 529 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: So that brings the total down to nine. But I 530 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: really think that you should look at some of the 531 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: scheduled offenses they play in the Pac twelve Stanford, Oregon State, 532 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: Washington State. I know people don't consider these teams ones 533 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: that can win the Pac twelve, but they are instant, 534 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: flash point offenses that can score at any time. I 535 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: expect a ton of shootouts on this USC schedule. I 536 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a ton of games where both 537 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: teams score in the fifties. And if you're just gonna 538 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: have a bunch of coin flips of score fest, I'm 539 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: definitely gonna take the under nine to a half on 540 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: the Trojans all right. 541 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: Elsewhere in the Pac twelve, I know you disagree with 542 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: me here, but well maybe non disagree, but I know 543 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 2: you played another team WI You'll get to in a second. 544 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 2: I played Oregon to in the PAC twelve. Look, they 545 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 2: avoid USC. Their road schedule in conference is as easy 546 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: as that you can possibly get. And guess what they 547 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: host Utah bow next season in full effect, bow next 548 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: season in full effect. I think the defense will be 549 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: all right under Landing. I actually like the secondary in 550 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: the defensive line is just loaded with depth, excellent linebacker. 551 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: So I just think, scheduleize and where I project the 552 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 2: Oregon I think this price is off. And then I 553 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: also played Colorado under three wins. Go take a look 554 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 2: at Colorado schedule, by the way, but they've played nothing 555 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: but Power five teams one exception. At air Force schedule 556 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: is absolutely brutal. This team was gutted in the transfer portal, 557 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: especially in the secondary they are they have freshmen everywhere. 558 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 2: Not a fan of the quarterback situation, as is a 559 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: program headed in the wrong direction. I don't see how 560 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 2: they get to four or even three wins. So give 561 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: me Colorado under three? What else you got in the 562 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 2: Pac twelve? 563 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: Love that Colorado bed. You always want to bet against 564 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: Mike Sandford Junior as an offensive partner, So we'll take that. 565 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to go Utah to win the conference. Now. 566 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't disagree that Oregon's gonna make it. I just 567 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: disagree on who's going to win this thing. I think 568 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: the Ducks and the Utes are primed to meet each 569 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: other again in the PAC twelve championship game. As far 570 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: as the Utes go, they have one of the highest 571 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: marks in returning experience per TARP. And then they host 572 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: usc N rice Ecles. That's you know, if that's going 573 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: to be a tiebreaker. It's good that Utah has that 574 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: game at home. I project them as a favorite in 575 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: every single game. Only three games will they be short favorites. 576 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: It's hard for me to project this Utah team finishing 577 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: third in the PAC twelve they've changed their rules. There's 578 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: no more north than south. That is to a huge 579 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: advantage for Utah. And then after that, I'm gonna go 580 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: watching the state over five and a half stuck And 581 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: I mentioned it on the PAC twelve podcasts. If you're 582 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: going to take a long shot flyer on Washington State 583 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: to win the PAC twelve, I can certainly see why 584 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: you would do that because the introduction of quarterback cam 585 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: Ward and his offensive coordinator Eric Morris come in from 586 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: Incarnate Word last year, just an electric offense that's now 587 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: going to take over the PAC twelve. The Kougs went 588 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: seven to one and one against the spread against PAC 589 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: twelve competition last year. I'm not sure if odds makers 590 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: can't catch up with Jake Dickart's been able to do 591 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: since he took over for Nick Rolovich. I think we 592 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: should just keep writing this until you know, odds makers 593 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: and people that make power ratings like ourselves can catch 594 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: up to how good the Kougs are. So you know, 595 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to back this defense. It finished within 596 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: the top sixty and finishing drive, so I'll take Washington 597 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: State over five and a half. 598 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: You mentioned so you're high on Utah. You're low on Florida. 599 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: I think the game that people have asked me, friends 600 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 2: people on Twitter the most about in week one is 601 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: Utah Florida. I assume you're going to give the nod 602 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: of approval on the Utes. 603 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: That's why I mean, that's why we have an award 604 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: winning Action Network app where you can go see that. 605 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: I had the Utes money line put in a few 606 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: weeks ago. So am I going to add it to 607 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: two and a half three? We'll see. This is a 608 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: game that I think Utah should absolutely win. But if 609 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: you have a cheap money line out there, maybe minus 610 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: one thirty five or better, I'd lay it right now. 611 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: Can't wait for that. One should tell us a lot 612 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 2: about both teams. Let's move on to the AAC the 613 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: American I'll start off. I like Tulane over six wins. 614 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: It's a tough schedule, but not as tough as last year, 615 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 2: where they had one of the hardest schedules I've ever 616 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: seen from a group of five team and nothing went 617 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: right for this team. I looked at what I won 618 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: five and one possession games. They were one hundred and 619 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: twenty second in turnover margin, one hundred and twenty eighth 620 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 2: and fourth down conversion. They were in fourth down conversion right. 621 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: They were extremely unlucky if you look third and fourth 622 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: and long situations. They even had to move to Birmingham, 623 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: I believe for a month because of the hurricane, and 624 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: they had their game against Oklahoma, moved to Norman and 625 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: they almost won that game. Everything kind of spiraled out 626 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 2: of control. There were also rumors of issues with the 627 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: offense and the offensive coordinator. Chib Long not a fan 628 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: of I love Savata, the offensive coordinator they brought in 629 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: from the D two level. I think he's gonna do 630 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: wonders for this offense. From everything that I'm reading and seeing, 631 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: I think that's a big upgrade for this offense. Major 632 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: positive aggression candidate in to Lane. I think they at 633 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 2: least get the bow eligibility. Happily took over six A 634 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: plus money on the Greenway. What are you seeing in 635 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: the AAC as your favorite beat? 636 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: Well, as you mentioned tou Lane in their strength of 637 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: schedule and how tough it was, let's talk about the 638 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: team that has the easiest strength of schedule and all 639 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: of maybe any conference out there, and that's Houston. I'm 640 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: going to take Houston to make the AAC Championship. It's 641 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: right now, it's minus one thirty five. I'm looking at 642 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: the schedule the top teams in the AAC or Cincinnati 643 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: and Central Florida, and they are not on Houston schedule, 644 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: so there's no division. So it's one of those things 645 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: where you have to finish top two to make the 646 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: championship game. And when you don't have to play the 647 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: two top teams, that is already giving you a leg up. 648 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: Now quarterback Clayton, I mean it helps Houston. Also the 649 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: quarterback Clayton Tune wide receiver Tank Dell are both coming 650 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: back probably the best combination of quarterback wide receiver, the 651 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: most explosive in the entire AAC and eighty percent of 652 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: the offense returns of a group that was top twenty 653 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: in finishing drives. So Holgerson knows how to get sustained drives, 654 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: get into scoring position, and get as many points up 655 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: on the board as possible. They are going to do 656 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: circles around this very this easy strength of schedule they 657 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: got inside their conference just shocks still. They don't play 658 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati or Central Florida, So Houston to make the ACC 659 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: Championship minus one thirty five. 660 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 2: By the way I saw that Plumbley was named the 661 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 2: starting quarterback for UCF, it's they're gonna be a fun 662 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 2: team to watch, So I put it that way. There's 663 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 2: gonna be some fun football games UCF with plumb Ley 664 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 2: in that system, also are in the AC. I like 665 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: Tulsa under six, if six peak find it. Under five 666 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: and a half I think is out there now. I 667 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: still like that. I think one of the more underrated moves, 668 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 2: which isn't being talked about enough, is the loss of 669 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: their defensive coordinator, who I think is Gillespie's one of 670 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 2: the most underrated in all of college football. I think 671 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 2: their defense is going to take a major, major hit. 672 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 2: I'm lower than the market on Tulsa. I like under six, 673 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 2: under five and a half, but six certainly if you 674 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 2: can find it. Hopefully Tulane gets that revenge from last 675 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: year where they missed a chip shot field goal from 676 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 2: I think like twenty yards to beat Tulsa. Any thoughts 677 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: on Tulsa's right in your backyard. 678 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely down here. Without Joseph Gillespie. We'll see 679 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: what they do at the quarterback position. But no it's 680 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: definitely coming back down for a Tulsa team that was 681 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: struggling for so long before Gillespie took over his DC. 682 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: We'll see what they can do on defense. I'm going 683 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: to go under on another team in the conference. Under 684 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: four and a half for Navy, the midship them. They're 685 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: just not able to utilize the transfer portal like other teams, 686 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: and they just continue to fall behind in the current 687 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: college football landscape. The climate says you fill, you backfill 688 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: your positions that are have empty coming into the season 689 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: with the transfer portal, and Navy's not allowed to do that. 690 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: And it's good that quarterback Tie Levitie comes back to 691 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: run the option attack, but the offense was one hundred 692 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: and fifteenth in success rate last season. That's just not 693 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: going to work with the triple option attack. And the 694 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: team was dead last in pass rush. And again it's 695 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: the exposive play on defense. This is a defense that 696 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: has struggled for multiple years now and it's not getting 697 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: any better. I'll take I think it's a number that 698 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: I project around three point four, So under four and 699 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: a half on Navy. 700 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Navy, ever since Malcolm Paril just can't get that 701 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: Russh offense back to the levels that we were used 702 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 2: to seeing for years. It's definitely bit a struggle in Annapolis. 703 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to the Mountain West Conference. 704 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: I'll start. I'm gonna go with another service academy. I 705 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: took air Force to win their division. I think this 706 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 2: is just the last year with divisions in the Mountain West. 707 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: I believe yep, yeah, I think they're going away from divisions, 708 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: which a lot of comments are doing starting next year. 709 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: But here's the thing. I mean. Air Force posts Boise 710 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: State in a game, two teams that I power it 711 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 2: right around each other. They also avoid Fresno. Boise plays Fresno. 712 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely messive. I have air Force albeit 713 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 2: Boise States basically coin flip, but favored in all twelve games. 714 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 2: They're one of only five or six teams that I 715 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 2: can say that about. Absolutely. Look, this is all about 716 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 2: the rushing offense. Air Force. They've run everything back for 717 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 2: that rushing offense led by quarterback because he Daniels fullback 718 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: arts everything in this offensive line. Super experience. This is 719 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: one of the most experienced Air Force teams that we've 720 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 2: seen in years. Given the schedule, given where I power 721 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 2: rate them everything that they're bringing back. Look, there are 722 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: some questions on the defense up front and in the secondary, 723 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: but I think that there's value in air force to 724 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: win their division. What are you seeing in the Mountain West? 725 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: No, we're gonna go Nevada under four and a half. 726 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: This is a number that has taken massive hits throughout 727 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: the summer and there's a reason for that. Head coach 728 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: Jane norveld Leaves goes to Colorado State. He essentially takes 729 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: everything that is any kind of expertise on the roster 730 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: and takes it with him through the portal. So there's 731 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: a coach and a scheme change coming in on both 732 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. New offensive coordinator Derek Sage is 733 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: from UCLA, where they like to run multiple running backs, 734 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: play action of the tight end. That is not what 735 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: they were running Nevada was running with Carson Strong last year. 736 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: So it's a completely different look going on. And then 737 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: you know less than twenty percent returns on both sides 738 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: of the ball. They did not backfall from the portal whatsoever. 739 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: There are now non scholarship players in the too deep 740 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 1: on defense. Depth is an extreme concern with these guys, 741 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: they play Iowa and air Force early on the schedule. 742 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: Our injury is going to take a toll on this 743 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: team that you know, before they get to their second 744 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: game of the Mountain West Conference schedule. Under four and 745 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: a half here, there is too much going on, too 746 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: much in transition, too much change, and there's just no 747 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: ident identifiable expertise at any position that can get these 748 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: guys some wins. So I even love them coming up 749 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: here week zero week one, even as you know, getting 750 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: beat is a big up favorite. So Nevada under four 751 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: and a half. 752 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 2: For me, Romeo doves A really going to miss him. 753 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 2: Is he gonna become the backers number one this year? 754 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 2: It's the chance. Yeah, I also played Santose they stayed 755 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 2: over in the Mountain espactually agree on Nevada. I mean, 756 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: if you want to know what the market thinks of Nevada, 757 00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 2: take a look at they played two game one week 758 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 2: zero in Week one Mexico State where they opened a 759 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 2: two touchdown favorite. It's down to like nine or were 760 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 2: they a seven and a half point favorite against Texas 761 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: State in Week one the game after? I think that's 762 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 2: down to five. The market is fading this team and 763 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 2: I think for a good reason everywhere. This team just 764 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: lost everything and there's so much change. I completely agree 765 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 2: on the Nevada under anything else in the Mountain West 766 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 2: for you. 767 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been doing New Mexico under two and a half. 768 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna mention a team later on that 769 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: I think might be the worst team in all of 770 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: college football, but New Mexico is certainly giving a push 771 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: to be the worst one head coach Danniganzalez. It has 772 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: not worked out on the offensive side of the ball. 773 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: They're installing their third different offense in three years. They 774 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: were running a no huddle spread. They switched over to 775 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: his zone Diamond triple the Coastal Carolina runs. It's just 776 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: too confusing when you don't have the horses in the 777 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: backfield or on the offensive line to do this. Danny 778 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: Gonzalez as a head coach went one and eleven against 779 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: the spread last year. So I mentioned that oddsmakers can't 780 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: catch up to you know, certain teams like Washington State. Well, 781 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to put a good price on 782 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: New Mexico either, So they're dead last and offensive success 783 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: rate in finishing drives last year. That's not going to 784 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: get any better, and they're projected to be a favorite 785 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: only against Maine and New Mexico State, and I think 786 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: New Mexico State could beat them too. So WYAMI is 787 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: the only other team on the schedule that they could 788 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: possibly be to get to a third win. It's just 789 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: not going to happen. So New Mexico under two and 790 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: a half. 791 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Gonzales and Rocky Long that they know defense, and 792 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 2: that defense wasn't bad, especially given the talent that they have. 793 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 2: Good safeties should be okay again this year. But the 794 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 2: offense just is absolutely dreadful. It is hard to watch 795 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: that Lobo offense. All right, let's move on to my 796 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 2: favorite conference to MAC can talk some maction. Working currently 797 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 2: on the MAC Manifesto, which should be out in to 798 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 2: We have a loaded MAC preview a Big Bets on 799 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 2: Campus podcast. Wherever you listen to podcasts, make sure you 800 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 2: check that out as well as well as all the 801 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: other preview episodes. As I mentioned before, I'll start my 802 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 2: favorite bet have a couple, but I'll I guess I'll 803 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 2: go Western Michigan under six and a half win under 804 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 2: six and a half. Juice under six is fine too. 805 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 2: This team lost so much on the offense. Caleb Albeit 806 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 2: at quarterback, who was just awesome, one of the most 807 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 2: efficient quarterbacks in the country last year, Sky Moore, who 808 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 2: was drafted by the Chiefs of receiver. The offensive line 809 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 2: is extremely raw outside of kums Krum's a wide receiver. 810 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 2: They lost everything red shirt freshmen starting at quarterback. Their 811 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: special teams are going to be dreadful. They lost their 812 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 2: top pass rusher on defense, and last year their defense 813 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 2: really benefited from an offense that was top five in 814 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: time possession. That won't be the case this year. Look, 815 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 2: their running backs are good at teams, they're just going 816 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 2: to be really easy to defend in my opinion, with 817 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 2: a new offensive coordinator. But teams are just going to 818 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 2: stack the box. He got one versus receiver to really cover, 819 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 2: just a bunch of unproven town on the outside. I 820 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 2: do not see Look, Max's very unpredictable, but I do 821 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 2: not see this Western Michigan team getting to seven wins. 822 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 2: I think they'll struggle just to get to six and 823 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 2: Bowl eligibility. So give me Western Michigan under six and 824 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 2: a half wins. What are you see in the MAC? 825 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 1: Well, the team I like to win the MAC didn't 826 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: get a lot of love on the podcast that we 827 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: put out. So Miami of Ohio plus four fifty coming 828 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: out of the East Division only Bowling Green returns more 829 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: experience in the East Division than Miami of Ohio. That 830 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: includes quarterback Brett Gabbert, wide receiver Mark Hippenhammer, the best 831 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: combo in the division and a stat that carries overseason 832 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 1: to season is havoc allowed in havoc So havoc allowed 833 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: is how often are you allowing tackles for loss or sacks. 834 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: Miam of Ohio is twelfth in the nation on offense 835 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: and havoc allowed and seventeenth on defense and havoc so 836 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: they definitely have it. And a stat that usually carries 837 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: over year to year, there's no Toledo on the schedule 838 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 1: from a cross division scheduling road games at Bowling Green 839 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: and Akron that that's one of the easiest division pass 840 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: that there could be. There's zero difficulty here. It's a 841 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: hedgeable ticket into the MAC Championship game. So I'll take 842 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: Miami Ohio plus four fifty. 843 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 2: Got to just hope that Gaverick stays healthy quarterback and 844 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 2: Chuck Martin doesn't mess it up. But maybe mine Ohio 845 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 2: can give Kentucky a game in the opener elsewhere in 846 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 2: the back. I won't get too much into it. Check 847 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 2: out my Mac manifesto shameless Pug on Action network dot 848 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 2: com The Action orkap in the next day or two. 849 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 2: But I also took a flyer on Ohio to win 850 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 2: the conference. I mean I saw there was a twenty 851 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 2: five to one out there, which is outrageous. This is 852 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 2: the conference where just do you expect the unexpected? But 853 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 2: in Northern Illinois where they went the first team to 854 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 2: win the conference title left to go and winless the 855 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: previous season. A couple of years ago, Central Michigan get 856 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 2: in there. There were fifty to one preseason. I think 857 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 2: this is just a wide open division, completely misspriced. I 858 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 2: also loved Toledo over as a team that couldn't buy 859 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 2: break last year in close games. Best defense in the 860 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 2: conference by far. Offense was much better with Finn at 861 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 2: the helm. I think all those close losses turned to 862 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 2: close wins this year for Toledo. Really like that over, 863 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 2: especially if you can find an eight. What else you 864 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 2: got in the mat? 865 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Northern Illinois and Rocky Lombardi coming to haunt us 866 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: again for a full season of football. But I'm gonna 867 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: go Bowling Green over four. I mentioned how much experience 868 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: they return. This is a team that covered against Tennessee 869 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: and then flat out beat Minnesota as a thirty one 870 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: point underdog last year. They're projected as a clear favorite 871 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 1: against Eastern Kentucky, but then after that they have five 872 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: coin flips Akron, Buffalo, Western Michigan, Kent State, and Ohio. 873 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: Those are all winnable games. I'll take Bowling Green over four. 874 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Northern Illinois. They lost Trayvon Rudolph, which 875 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 2: was a for the season. I believe major loss at receiver. 876 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 2: Not that it matters because there will go like thirty 877 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 2: five or forty on fourth down and win eight games 878 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 2: by eight combined points. No, I'm not bitter. All right, 879 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 2: let's move on to the Sun Belt. I'll throw out 880 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 2: Jay under I think it's so under six out there. 881 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 2: Under six wins caveat here. They only play eleven games 882 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 2: and this is their first year in FBS, so it's 883 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 2: really a tough team to project, right. You take they've 884 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 2: been one of the top teams in FCS in recent seasons, 885 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 2: but you know a lot of their numbers last year. 886 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: You can't just you know, translate them into this year. 887 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't work as easy. But if you go back over, 888 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 2: you know, between two thousand and eight and twenty eighteen, 889 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 2: I believe twelve teams made the jump from FCS to FBS, 890 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 2: some and most a lot of them were in the Sunbelt. 891 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 2: Mixed results, right, you had a team. I think Georgia 892 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 2: State went owned twelve in their first year. Georgia Southern, 893 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 2: I believe went nine and three. Average wins for all 894 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,240 Speaker 2: those teams, I think it was four point two five. 895 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 2: I think Jim is really going to struggle to get 896 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 2: to five wins. They lost their star quarterback. I'm not 897 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 2: a fan of Toddson Tao. I believe he's gonna win 898 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 2: that quarterback battle. And I just wasn't a fan of 899 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 2: them at Temple Colorado State. I think there's a big 900 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 2: drop off in quarterback play. Lost a lot on the 901 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 2: offense and on the defense, new defensive coordinator as well, 902 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 2: lose your top receiver. I'm just not a big fan 903 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 2: of this roster, and I think it's going to be 904 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: more of a struggle than the market as anticipating with 905 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 2: this number. So I like JMU under six wins in 906 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 2: their eleven games schedule. 907 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna move over to Georgia State, a team 908 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: that I absolutely love. My favorite bet on a win 909 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: total is over seven and a half on the Panthers. 910 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: They're a true dark horse to win the Sun Belt. 911 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: They return at least eighty percent on both sides of 912 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 1: the ball per Tart. I project them to win eight 913 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: point four games, and they ended last season winning six 914 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: of their last seven, not just winning but covering their 915 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,439 Speaker 1: double digit favorites in five games. And they have coin 916 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 1: flips against Army app State, Louisiana, and Troy. And they 917 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: know they have a couple of Power five teams on 918 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: this schedule that can be beat in South Carolina and 919 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: North Carolina. So I love Georgia State. I think they're 920 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: going to surprise this year just like they did last year. 921 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: And this is definitely a team that can win that 922 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: tough East Division and go on to win the whole conference. 923 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the most experienced teams in the country 924 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 2: from a returning production standpoint. Elsewhere in Conference USA, I 925 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 2: played South Alabama over five and a half wins, like 926 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 2: the direction of this program, and then I played Marshall 927 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 2: to win the conference. It's all about the schedule. Marshall 928 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 2: won the conference schedule lottery. I really like what they 929 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 2: did in the transfer Bortal like this staff. I think 930 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 2: they address some of the issues, especially with that run defense. 931 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 2: Really like where Marshall's headed, and I think that there's 932 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 2: some value in them to win the conference. What else 933 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 2: are you seeing in Conference USA? 934 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: Well, I'll give you two long shot futures and if 935 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: you're going to do this, do it in the group 936 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: of five. And these teams are absolutely mispriced. They shouldn't 937 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: be priced anywhere more than sixteen to one. The first 938 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: one is Southern miss Over in the West Division at 939 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: thirty to one to win the conference. You know, I mean, 940 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: this is an easy division to be in. You know, 941 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: the only competition there is a Louisiana team that's going 942 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 1: through some trainransition themselves. Ty Keys returns a quarterback that 943 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: allows Frank Gore to get out from under center and 944 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: be a running back again. It's a deadly combination against 945 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: this division. And the defense finished fifteenth and finishing drives 946 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 1: last year, so and they return their top ten tacklers, 947 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: so there's a lot coming back on the Southern miss team, 948 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: and they have a very easy division. Now the tougher 949 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: division is where Old Dominion is and that's why they're 950 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: listed at fifty to one. But again, that number is 951 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: just way too low for a team that you know, 952 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: went on a winning streak at the end of last 953 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: year just to make it to bull season. Now they 954 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: return more experience just about anybody in the conference, and 955 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: you have to really pay attention to the top dogs 956 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: in the East. App State loses a ton Chase Price 957 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: is not a good fit for that offense whatsoever. Coastal 958 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: Carolina has lost everybody but Grayson McCall at quarterback, and 959 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: they draw us out and getting back to Old Dominion, 960 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,959 Speaker 1: they draw easy games over in the West against South 961 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 1: Bama and Arkansas State. So you know, we are an 962 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: upset or two away from Old Dominion being in the 963 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: driver's seat. This number, like I said, should be in 964 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: the teams. It should not be fifty to one. So 965 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: Old Dominion's a long shot. And then the team that 966 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: I said was the worst team in the nation up 967 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: against New Mexico, that's Arkansas State and under five is 968 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: definitely a play that you have to add to your portfolio. 969 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: I project three point two wins against Grambling, UMass and ULM. 970 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 1: Outside of that, I'm not sure how the red Wolves 971 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: are going to get a game. Butch Jones has just 972 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: been an absolute disaster there. They return less than fifty 973 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: percent on both sides of the ball, and they are 974 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in Havoc on both sides 975 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 1: of the ball. So there's just there's no continuity here. 976 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: The roster doesn't have anything worth winning. And I mean 977 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: outside of those three games that I mentioned where they 978 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: should be favorites and they should win, there just isn't 979 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: a lot going on here where they can win any 980 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: game inside the conference outside of ULM. So definitely under five, 981 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: I cannot see a way the red Wolves get to 982 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: postseason play. 983 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 2: Southern Miss is a weird team, a lot of trouble 984 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 2: projecting now, and last year they all kinds of quarterback. 985 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 2: They were unlucky at the quarterback postition with injuries, but 986 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 2: then they were good without a quarterback, with like running 987 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 2: running backs at quarterback who were actually completing passes. Sometimes, 988 00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. Southern Miss is a hard team for 989 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: me to purge, but I don't mind your point on 990 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 2: taking flyers in the Belt. All right, let's move on 991 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 2: to Conference USA. I'll start with my nemesis, Middle Tennessee State. 992 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 2: I played under five and a half wins. I think 993 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 2: this offense is going to be a mess. Transition to 994 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 2: new skiing in the offensive line is major problems, non 995 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 2: existent running game. I think there's gonna be major, major 996 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 2: transition and just issues on this offense all year long. 997 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 2: And by the way, this is one of the luckiest 998 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 2: teams in the country last year from a turn of 999 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 2: of perspective that I don't think is sustainable, especially when 1000 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 2: you look at some of the losses they had on 1001 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 2: the defensive end, especially in the back end of that defense. 1002 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 2: Major questions with depth across this froster as well. So 1003 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 2: I like Middle Tennessee under five and a half. Hopefully 1004 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 2: I won't be making any trips to Murphy's Brow at 1005 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 2: any point this year. What do you got? 1006 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know. I'm gonna take utsa under 1007 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: eight and a half And I hate it because I 1008 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: love meet meep and we love the program so much. 1009 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: But it's hard to replace. Sinceerra mccorny make a running back. 1010 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: This is a team that you know had some close 1011 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: wins they started eleven zero on the season. They finally 1012 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: lost a game in a meaningless game before they went 1013 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: on to win the conference championship where they beat Western 1014 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 1: Kentucky and Bailey Zappi. So they've kind of reached the pinnacle, 1015 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: you know, and they might be a little bit oversold. 1016 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 1: Frank Harris does return at quarterback. He has a loaded 1017 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver group, but like I said, the loss of 1018 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 1: Sincere McCormick in the backfield and they've lost more than 1019 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: fifty percent of their defense, there's gonna be some struggles 1020 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 1: here to replicate what they did last year, and there's 1021 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: a possibility this team starts zero to three. They have 1022 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: to play Houston Army Texas, and you know, you consider 1023 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: the fact that UTSA is breaking in two new defensive 1024 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 1: ends and you're gonna take on Army so early where 1025 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 1: you have to have outside contained against the triple option. 1026 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 1: That's not an easy game for them. So they host 1027 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 1: North Texas and UTEP, two teams that I think are 1028 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 1: on the rise in the conference, and they have to 1029 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: travel to UAB. So it's not an easy schedule whatsoever. 1030 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take UTSA under eight and a half. 1031 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 2: Well, you're against our meet Meet funds. But you're going 1032 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 2: to please our a pizza party friend in Apasto. Apasto. Yeah, so, 1033 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 2: I don't know you liked Minor Nation to win the conference. 1034 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 2: Are gonna love this one. 1035 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: We're talking Minor Nation out. 1036 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 2: In the West Texas town of al Pastor picks up. 1037 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,919 Speaker 1: They can put a tweet out about six weeks ago 1038 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: and I said you better have U TIP thirty to 1039 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: one in your pocket. Well that's now UTEP twenty to 1040 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: one for Conference USA. I hate that Jacob Cowing has 1041 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 1: moved on. He's no longer he transferred out, went to Arizona. 1042 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: So but you know they still have weapons there. With 1043 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 1: Gavin Hardison in a quarterback, he has one of the 1044 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 1: biggest arms in all the group of five quarterbacks. And 1045 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 1: you know Tyron Smith is still there. He averaged two 1046 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 1: point two yards per route run. Route run is wide receiver, 1047 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: which means he is an explosive target for Hardison to 1048 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: connect with. But this is the easiest schedule in Conference USA. 1049 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 1: It's not even close. They don't play UAB, they don't 1050 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: play Western Kentucky. Their road conference schedule consists of Rice, 1051 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech, and Charlotte, So we'll see if UTEP can 1052 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: get their first ever win in the Eastern time zone 1053 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: against Charlotte. But this is a really easy schedule. There's 1054 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: no divisions, right, so all you have to do is 1055 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: finish top two in the standings and kind of like 1056 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: Houston over in the AC, you're gonna give me the 1057 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: easiest schedule in the world. In the conference, you're gonna 1058 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: get me some experience returning. You should probably finish in 1059 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: the top two. So I'll take you tap twenty to 1060 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: one to win the conference. 1061 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 2: Minor Nation they get it done, we'll have we'll have 1062 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 2: to head on down there and throw quite the pizza party. 1063 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,439 Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for us. We do still 1064 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 2: have one what our business, and I think I have 1065 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 2: like twenty five pre season bets between futures and wind pedals. 1066 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 2: You're probably around there, so I don't know if we 1067 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,479 Speaker 2: got to fifty. By the way, you just mentioned Collan, 1068 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 2: I do like Arizona over too. You're over under. I 1069 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe that put it over fifty two and 1070 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 2: a half. But our college football insider Brett McMurphy was 1071 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 2: not available. He was gonna be on the show, but 1072 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 2: he's pursuing the latest moves regarding conference realignment, having a 1073 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 2: pinacle out on the beach somewhere. 1074 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: First reported by our own Brett McMurphy. 1075 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 2: Brett McMurphy is, but he managed to email over his 1076 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 2: favorite bets that we can make fun of, starting with 1077 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,720 Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett to win the Heisman. Do not bet that SEC. 1078 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 2: The bet Alabama minus one forty to win the SEC. Fine, 1079 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 2: PAC twelve? You bet Utah plus two twenty five. You 1080 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 2: wanted me to mention that he did hit Utah last year. 1081 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,879 Speaker 2: He's on board with you in the utes? 1082 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 1: Did you say ute yet? 1083 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 2: And TCU? Would you write this up? For TCU to 1084 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 2: win the Big twelve, Miami to win the ACC like that, 1085 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 2: air Force to win the Mounta West like that? You 1086 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 2: agree or disagree? Yeah? 1087 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,319 Speaker 1: I agree? I agree? Air Force, Yes, FAU ten to. 1088 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 2: One to win Conference USA. 1089 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: I think I think Brett's too busy on it is 1090 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: out on his back porch in Florida, reading too much 1091 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:50,760 Speaker 1: about the Owl. That's that's a stretch. 1092 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 2: Coastal to win the Sun Belt. Yeah, I mean, look, 1093 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 2: you got one of the best quarterbacks. I love watching 1094 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 2: their offense. By the way, in college football, but they're 1095 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 2: by like my guy, Isaiah likely for the Ravens is 1096 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 2: killing it. He's one of many that they lost. Their 1097 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 2: roster was gut it. I'm going to say no on that. 1098 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: The offensive line has gone and highly likely is gone. 1099 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: So no thanks. 1100 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: In the MAC Central Michigan five to one, no thanks. 1101 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 1: I have no love for the Chips and Houston to 1102 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 1: win the. 1103 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 2: American you would agree there. 1104 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: I agree they're going to make it. Whether they can 1105 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 1: win it, we'll have to see. But they do have 1106 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 1: one of the most explosive offensive combos in the conference. 1107 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:32,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, i'd like that. 1108 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 2: National champion Alabama plus one ninety don't hate it, but 1109 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's he actually likes that or 1110 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,800 Speaker 2: if that's a hedge against his Stetson Bennett Heisman. I 1111 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 2: do know he likes it. 1112 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: I would look there are there is a two ten 1113 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: out there somewhere, so if you're gonna get down pretty 1114 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: heavy on Alabama, I'd probably look for the best number. 1115 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 2: Not terrible. A couple we didn't agree with, but overall, 1116 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 2: nice work and good luck on your bench ticket.
