Speaker 1: Quote them. Everybody.
Speaker 2: It is week two of the SEC college football season
Speaker 2: and week one of the NFL. We are fade this,
Speaker 2: ready to rock, Matt Jones and Drew Franklin.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of podcasts would advise.
Speaker 2: Against missing week one of the season, but it could
Speaker 2: not be helped because I was at a fellowship in Bailey,
Speaker 2: Colorado as part of the Aspen Institute. And so but
Speaker 2: we're back. So we will treat week two in college
Speaker 2: football and week one in the NFL as week one overall.
Speaker 2: And Drew, good to see you and I missed you
Speaker 2: last week. Not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm treating it like we were waiting for both
Speaker 1: sports to have a weekend together, NFL and college So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we just missed a little bit of miss wall,
Speaker 1: but not that much. It's not a big deal. I mean,
Speaker 1: probably would have been on Florida anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah what happened. I would have bet on Georgia they won.
Speaker 2: I would have been on Miami they won. I said
Speaker 2: good things about both those teams.
Speaker 1: You were undefeated. It sounds like, yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: I lost the game but then decided not to bet it.
Speaker 1: So I was in Boston college money line. Do you
Speaker 1: have me? Dad is twelve and zero, Billy, I would
Speaker 1: think that's what you have.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we didn't do picks for the week,
Speaker 3: so we.
Speaker 1: Had we had this is it? So now you're under
Speaker 1: a lot easier if you do them now. I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the things you need to to understand.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, everything I was in Colorado, Drew are you
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 1: Fellowship? That's what what I did. Uh.
Speaker 2: There are people from all over the country. You know,
Speaker 2: this podcast goes all over the world, and we have
Speaker 2: fans everywhere. A lot of Portugal fans love Portugal, a
Speaker 2: lot of Bangladesh fans.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's this fellowship. There were people from there's twenty
Speaker 1: one other people that're from you know, all all all
Speaker 1: the states, and they kind of know me. People from
Speaker 1: all the states, each of them, each of them have
Speaker 1: two point five homes, okay, and they all know me
Speaker 1: as like I'm the one guy.
Speaker 2: In the fellowship that's sports, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So they all want to talk to me about sports,
Speaker 2: and it's requiring me to learn more about their teams
Speaker 2: than I normally would you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Are you trying to impress them? No, I just want
Speaker 1: to relate to them because you know, if somebody works
Speaker 1: in recycling, like, what are you gonna? What am I
Speaker 1: gonna We can't talk about recycling. What am I gonna say?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Man, it's good. I love the way they put those
Speaker 1: bottles away. It's good for the earth. Do ducks really
Speaker 1: get caught in the six ring plastic? I asked them
Speaker 1: about tuna. That was week one, you know. So it's
Speaker 1: just easier to find the common ground of sports because
Speaker 1: everybody there went to some.
Speaker 2: College or something like that. There's a girl from New Mexico.
Speaker 2: She was like, what do you think of my lobos
Speaker 2: this year? Didn't have a lot to say?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Start with you? What do you think?
Speaker 1: Then I'll tell you what I think of your thoughts.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you whether or not that's a smart plan. Uh.
Speaker 2: There was a guy who's from Arizona and he was like, so,
Speaker 2: who do you like this year? Arizona or Arizona State?
Speaker 2: And I was like both.
Speaker 1: Feeling feeling pride in both of their their their performances
Speaker 1: so far, but not like the problem is they are
Speaker 1: from states where their teams are just hideously born Montana, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: New Mexico, Mississippi, but they're a Southern miss fan.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's tough, but I I I spent some time.
Speaker 2: I would read up on the teams and then go,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm really excited for you guys this week.
Speaker 1: It's just so your your water cooler talk every at
Speaker 1: the coffee pot every morning. Yeah, it's gonna be gonna
Speaker 1: be a big week for you in South Dakota. I
Speaker 1: hope you know that. And things are gonna gonna go well.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying, and I'm trying to help like deepen
Speaker 1: my college football knowledge through trying to interact with these people.
Speaker 1: You know you already have, I mean, the best NFL
Speaker 1: knowledge being an ESPN radio host NFL knowledge. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're adding to your catalog. In college there's a little
Speaker 1: more unique schools and states.
Speaker 2: Max had his fantasy football draft last night at the house. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he was like trying to ask me what I
Speaker 2: thought of people, and it was clear to me, like,
Speaker 2: right now, who do you think the best running backs
Speaker 2: are in the NFL? I just want to like list
Speaker 2: if you were to say who are the top seven
Speaker 2: running backs in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Who would you say?
Speaker 3: McCaffrey.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's any I knew that one. B Jehan Robinson, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's for fantasy. But yes, he's on there too.
Speaker 1: I saw today on ESPN it said, is X a
Speaker 1: top five receiver this year? I'd never heard of the person.
Speaker 1: I think it was for the Rams.
Speaker 2: I think there are more people that he was mentioning
Speaker 2: that I didn't know, Cook, like Dalvin Cook, not on Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Take a gander what team he's on. Anybody have any idea? Jets.
Speaker 1: I think he's on the Raiders. Didn't know how would
Speaker 1: you know that? Who would know that? No fantas, you
Speaker 1: know what?
Speaker 2: And then after you go from b Jon Robinson, Breese Hall, uh,
Speaker 2: and uh McCaffrey, he was like, should I take X person?
Speaker 2: And I thought, that's not a person and they were
Speaker 2: like fourth on the running back list, and he goes,
Speaker 2: don't you do an NFL show?
Speaker 1: And I said, I guess. But at this time and
Speaker 1: if un started, you lock in right when he gets here,
Speaker 1: you've been focused on your fellowship. I learned that Sam
Speaker 1: Darnold is a quarterback again in the NFL, and he's
Speaker 1: a starter by way of injury Minnesota, right, Yeah, Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Who knew I thought he was like on Fox, Well
Speaker 1: he was, and then JJ McCarthy got hurt.
Speaker 2: I just I had no idea. So it was good
Speaker 2: to like hear the know those names and realize they're
Speaker 2: still playing. You're getting your rhythm back, getting the rhythm back.
Speaker 2: People'll be hearing your name soon and knowing you're back,
Speaker 2: and people who wonder, like you know Max. Max is
Speaker 2: a friend of ours who stays in my house, and
Speaker 2: he was like, if you want to know what you do,
Speaker 2: we were reading us. We were reading tennis major champions
Speaker 2: in the eighties and nineties. That's what you were doing
Speaker 2: last night. He's like, did you know Carlos Moya won
Speaker 2: the French Open? And I was like, really, I haven't
Speaker 2: thought about that in a long time.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a fun game, So don't act like
Speaker 1: we're not partying. This is what happens when you get
Speaker 1: to be a certain age, you're not married, You just
Speaker 1: name old it looks someth you're doing on road trip.
Speaker 1: You just name Layton HEWITTT and you just get excited.
Speaker 1: So how many games have you picked for us this week?
Speaker 1: I think I have about nine or ten written down
Speaker 1: there's a lot of big spreads. I mean, there's some
Speaker 1: some big marquee games. But to get a full call,
Speaker 1: we need to have a number that we do every week.
Speaker 1: So let's do Let's do twelve and eight NFL games
Speaker 1: and we fly through them, all right, sounds twelve college
Speaker 1: I might have fount though, what'll count as we go?
Speaker 1: Very informal spreadsheet I have here, all right.
Speaker 2: So let's uh, let's do what i'd say. The big
Speaker 2: game is what Michigan Texas is that where we're starting.
Speaker 1: Well. I wanted to see if you want to start
Speaker 1: a little Friday night with b YU at s m
Speaker 1: U Battles of three less. We love a Friday night game.
Speaker 1: We might have if we didn't go and defeated. We
Speaker 1: did very well on Friday nights last year. We did
Speaker 1: really well. Also, we know BYU. That's why I wanted
Speaker 1: to include this one. Mormons versus Hot Moms. B Why
Speaker 1: you beat Southern Illinois.
Speaker 2: Single Mom University against uh? This is two of our
Speaker 2: favorites against you know best something I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be careful. I've been watching Book of Mormon
Speaker 1: too much. B YU and s m U. I think
Speaker 1: SMU is good if won twice or we're here too,
Speaker 1: and oh team here in week two? Okay, and what
Speaker 1: what is the spread? Uh s m U is an
Speaker 1: eleven and a half point favorite. Wow, and the game
Speaker 1: is at SMU. I said correct.
Speaker 2: I feel like when we had this situation last year,
Speaker 2: b YU would end up covering in these games. I
Speaker 2: think like that because they would get these big spreads.
Speaker 1: I would talk about Mormons and they would end up
Speaker 1: remember a lot of that and they would end up
Speaker 1: covering SMU joining the acc.
Speaker 2: Uh, they're excited about it. But the Mormon funk is
Speaker 2: coming and it's in Dallas. You know they're not gonna
Speaker 2: be distracted by that Dallas Night Live life. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: take b y U t uh to cover the eleven.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking here, I'm wondering how much playing twice really
Speaker 1: matters because it probably doesn't. Oh you think because they
Speaker 1: played twice or twice as good? Well some U, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got the extra game they played week zero, they
Speaker 1: went to Nevada, beat Nevada one big last week against Houston,
Speaker 1: did they like almost lose to Nevada though, like did
Speaker 1: Nevada play him really close? Close? But That's why I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to how much am I gonna weigh that
Speaker 1: that extra scare in there. I'll take SMU just to
Speaker 1: go ahead and get us off the same pick. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna take SMU to cover the eleven and a
Speaker 1: half only because they've played so much football, Matt, They've
Speaker 1: they have so much tape, so much they've worked on.
Speaker 1: It's like they've played an entire other season over BYU.
Speaker 2: I do worry it's gonna be really hot. You know
Speaker 2: in BYU is up in the mountains. What's the altitude
Speaker 2: they're in? Uh, like seventy five hundreds is in Salt
Speaker 2: Lake City?
Speaker 1: It's that high.
Speaker 3: It's just a guess after you were at ten thousand
Speaker 3: last week.
Speaker 2: I doubt it's that high. See what it is? See
Speaker 2: what Salt Lake City is. I don't think it's that hot.
Speaker 2: But but Dow, we.
Speaker 1: Checked the altitude of gerald Ford Stadium. Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 1: I'll check Okay, So they're going to be used to
Speaker 1: it being cooler. So I do think that's an advantage
Speaker 1: for SMU. Is the heat Dallas is four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty feet, so.
Speaker 2: It's ten times higher at BYU. So that means their
Speaker 2: lungs are going to be ten times stronger in Dallas.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you pick SMU there. I'm all
Speaker 2: b white.
Speaker 1: It's it's completely the extra game and just being in
Speaker 1: the a CEC. They have this this glow about them
Speaker 1: right now. They're new to the conference. Uh want wanted
Speaker 1: to start off on the right foot and and go now.
Speaker 2: Game three, you know, in the NFL, though, is even
Speaker 2: trying to take over Friday nights. They're gonna have to
Speaker 2: go over against that Brazilian game, which I'm sure you'll
Speaker 2: have on our NFL.
Speaker 1: This is that on there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know if I'll watch any of this,
Speaker 2: but I like that we're splitting up first the three
Speaker 2: letter abbreviations. What's next.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the biggest game on Saturday, and
Speaker 1: it's at noon, Texas at Michigan. Texas is a seven
Speaker 1: point favorite. This is gonna be a great game.
Speaker 2: Texas a seven point favorite on the road in ann Arbor.
Speaker 2: In ann Arbor, Uh game, you know everybody's gonna be there.
Speaker 2: Game Day is going to be there, Fox, the Urban
Speaker 2: Meyer dance party is going to be there, Probably the
Speaker 2: Manning's there.
Speaker 1: Just in case Travis still have his show.
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe he's bas show now.
Speaker 1: No, no, I know, but like he had like a tailgate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't do that now, he never do that.
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 1: So that was just a tailgate.
Speaker 3: The OutKick one, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there would be it would literally there would
Speaker 1: be no one there. He literally outkicked his coverage.
Speaker 2: And it was also it was like an assortment of
Speaker 2: strange people, like you'd never seen him before and they
Speaker 2: were just sitting there and you could see people walk
Speaker 2: by and actively be like, who.
Speaker 1: Is this is going to get out of here? That end?
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're going to be there
Speaker 1: or not. Who do you like in this one? Texas?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's really good. I think I don't
Speaker 1: think Michigans can score. Michigan has a good defense versus
Speaker 1: Texas offense strength verse strength, But as long as Texas
Speaker 1: is getting a few stops on a Michigan offense that's
Speaker 1: full of new faces. Donovan Edwards didn't play very well
Speaker 1: in Week one running back, I think Texas might be
Speaker 1: in for a big win here. The spread was like four,
Speaker 1: it's already moved to seven. Oh I wish I got
Speaker 1: it at four. I would have bet it was six
Speaker 1: and a half. Just earlier this morning. I think, sure,
Speaker 1: how much it's moving.
Speaker 2: Man, I wish I had known that at fourth that
Speaker 2: would have been one. You know, it's worth noting. This
Speaker 2: is the week to make money, you know that, right, Billy.
Speaker 2: This is the reacting, This is the overreaction week. And
Speaker 2: so if you believe in the idea of the overreaction,
Speaker 2: my general consensus is go against the overreaction, and the
Speaker 2: overreaction here would be to say Texas will win bylin.
Speaker 2: Michigan had some struggles for a little bit against was
Speaker 2: it Fresno or their receivers caught a total of thirty
Speaker 2: four yards and Texas won by like a thousand, So overreaction,
Speaker 2: but not this time. Texas, I think is too too good.
Speaker 1: I got on a Michigan message board. You know, Michigan
Speaker 1: just off the title playoff contender. You think they'd be
Speaker 1: sticking out their chest saying bring it. Every comment was
Speaker 1: about how they're going to get smoked. So even the
Speaker 1: home home fans aren't feeling good about it.
Speaker 2: I think they're going to get smoked. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: take Texas Texas to do it. Did you watch the
Speaker 2: Connor Stallions documentary.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I got about thirty minutes into it, had to turn
Speaker 1: it off. Something came up, but I was checking out.
Speaker 1: They cover much, but it seems like they almost try
Speaker 1: to make him look sympathetic. Yeah, that's what those documentaries do,
Speaker 1: especially that untold that Florida's was that way. Do you
Speaker 1: think that's they do it just to get him to participate.
Speaker 1: I mean I did like that he doesn't remember being
Speaker 1: at the Central Michigan game. Then Dave port Andoyd's like
Speaker 1: he was definitely a Central Michigan game. He told me
Speaker 1: it was, but didn't Portan and I say he was misquoted,
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Yeah, I know, but it's a
Speaker 1: yes or no answer, Like, how could it be misquoted
Speaker 1: and he was at the game. It was pretty clear. Okay.
Speaker 1: I watched that one and the McNair win in one night.
Speaker 1: You know, McNair's my guy, but it just doesn't really
Speaker 1: get into much. You were a huge Steve McNair fance.
Speaker 1: He is my goat, But those documentaries don't really get
Speaker 1: into any details or anything new.
Speaker 2: This is two of the best college towns in America
Speaker 2: against each other. But there are two college towns that
Speaker 2: are almost too big to even be college towns. Austin
Speaker 2: and Arbor are both big cities. If you were to
Speaker 2: rank five, I have best college towns in America that
Speaker 2: you've been to?
Speaker 1: In order? What would you say? Oxford? Oxford numbers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Athens is as close to I've been to Austin, but
Speaker 1: not to the campus, so I guess I'll still count
Speaker 1: it Austin's let's take Austin off because I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a full fledged city, not a college town. Okay,
Speaker 1: I actually had fun in East Lansing. You're gonna go
Speaker 1: East Lancy number three to our Michigan State listeners. There
Speaker 1: can't be many people. It helps that I was there
Speaker 1: for the Michigan game. I mean it was a rowdy weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe if I remember correctly, didn't you just look
Speaker 1: at me and say I'm going into that bar and
Speaker 1: you just left me and you just went into a
Speaker 1: bar by yourself. I don't remember that i'd been I'd
Speaker 1: already been to the I've been there without you. I
Speaker 1: went to the Michigan Michigan State game, So I mean
Speaker 1: the city was on fire for that game, so I
Speaker 1: was caught it throwing its fastball. I put in Arbor
Speaker 1: in there too, though he went on kind of a
Speaker 1: dead night, but I saw its potential. Uh have been
Speaker 1: many other places in the South. I feel like that'd
Speaker 1: be a lot of people's answers in the SEC. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go say in Knoxville.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Charlottesville as number one, Chapel Hill two,
Speaker 2: Athens three. I like your ann Arbor is four. And
Speaker 2: I think an underrated one that gets left out is Madison, Wisconsin. Madison,
Speaker 2: Wisconsin would be a really good college town. You know,
Speaker 2: a lot of the SEC towns are great, but like Oxford, Mississippi,
Speaker 2: you know, if you're there in Junior July, there's nothing.
Speaker 1: That's what's kind of why I was there. So you know,
Speaker 1: in Michigan, Michigan State, I was there for the biggest
Speaker 1: game of the year. It's a little different than if
Speaker 1: I just driven through on a Wednesday afternoon. Billy, what
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 3: I've been to Baton Rouge for a Western LSU night game.
Speaker 1: Was that awesome?
Speaker 3: It was? It was just a downpour of rain, so
Speaker 3: it didn't get the full experience and then I've been
Speaker 3: to Boulder, Colorado, not for a game.
Speaker 1: That's a great toak. Actually, you know what, let me
Speaker 1: take out who did I have fifth Madison and put
Speaker 1: him Boulder. Boulder's great.
Speaker 3: I could live there. The place is awesome.
Speaker 1: Why why do you like it so much?
Speaker 3: Well? The food was good.
Speaker 1: Weed?
Speaker 3: Yeah, weed and the food.
Speaker 1: Dion?
Speaker 3: Dion?
Speaker 1: Would you be one of Dion's sons? Do you love Dion?
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him even now. Yeah, like all the
Speaker 1: stuff they do, you like it? You're still cool?
Speaker 3: I think I still like it still like Deon.
Speaker 2: I mean, they beat North Dakota State by like six,
Speaker 2: and they acted like they won the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: But he gave money to kids that are guys that
Speaker 3: have kids on the Colorado football team. Did you see that?
Speaker 1: No? What do you mean?
Speaker 3: He started accounts with money in it for the players
Speaker 3: on the team that had kids.
Speaker 1: How much money I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's like five grand or something like that a piece.
Speaker 1: And is it for their kids like college or whatever?
Speaker 3: I don't know, just for diapers or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm for diapers. Yeah, that's what he gave the money for.
Speaker 3: Probably, Yeah, not being a college athlete and a parent
Speaker 3: at the same time. So I love Dion for that.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you don't know all the details.
Speaker 3: I don't know all the details, but I know he's
Speaker 3: a good man.
Speaker 1: You do, okay?
Speaker 3: When he looked at all those guys in the face
Speaker 3: and said you can transfer.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Alyssa Lang, by the way, in our contest,
Speaker 1: she asked if she wanted us to add ask Raydam Cobb,
Speaker 1: and I said yes, oh definitely. Wasn't Randall Cobb on
Speaker 1: your list? Yeah? He didn't respond to me, but maybe
Speaker 1: he'll respond to her well, ask using her. Okay, what's next?
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go in order that they are on TV,
Speaker 1: so staying at noon, we have Kansas State at Tulane. Again,
Speaker 1: State beat you t Martin. Tulane beat Southeastern Louisiana. Can
Speaker 1: I guess the spread on this? Sure? I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: Kansas State by ten nailed it ten even Wow, this
Speaker 1: guy knows ball. It's pretty good, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Right on?
Speaker 1: It's pretty good? Guess. My big addition for this game
Speaker 1: is after two lane one fifty two to nothing, John
Speaker 1: Sumrall said, we sucked in the spring and we have
Speaker 1: to get better if we're gonna win football games after
Speaker 1: shutting out an opponent scoring fifty two points.
Speaker 2: See this is I think this one's really hard because
Speaker 2: this is a big game for Tu Lane, but also
Speaker 2: a big game for Kansastate. I mean, Kansas State is not,
Speaker 2: as we've talked about, doesn't have that many hard games.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna make you go first, what are you
Speaker 1: taking in this? I'm rolling with some raw. I admit
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a fanboy pick, but I
Speaker 1: mean what he's done in a short time as a
Speaker 1: head coach has been pretty amazing. And you know they're
Speaker 1: unlikely they'll win, but I'll bet on them to cover this.
Speaker 1: Playing at home in New Orleans, maybe the biggest opponent
Speaker 1: on the schedule, Kansas State's rings seven. Would you bet
Speaker 1: a money line? Do you think they have a chance
Speaker 1: to win the game? I don't think I'd go that
Speaker 1: far plus two ninety five, I don't think so, But
Speaker 1: I'll take the ten points. I'm gonna take two Lane
Speaker 1: as well. I'm not gonna I'm not giving away to
Speaker 1: the green for the Greenway home Gilman Stadium. Plus I
Speaker 1: mean Kansas State. You know there's always one team that
Speaker 1: everybody overreacts positively on as a surprise team. Maybe it's them.
Speaker 1: They play Arizona next week in BYU and Oklahoma State.
Speaker 1: Maybe not given Tulane all the credit they deserve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's take the greenway. I'm all, I like the GreenWave.
Speaker 1: You like the green wave? Billy twist my bet on,
Speaker 1: John Sumrall, John summerl. Tulane was where I met the
Speaker 1: girl where whose last name was was Beavers? That when
Speaker 1: I was in New Orleans. I won't say her first name,
Speaker 1: but uh, she left her her ID in a bar
Speaker 1: and I found it. And then later on and we
Speaker 1: went to another bar and I was like, we were like, look,
Speaker 1: we found a person's whose last name was Beavers and
Speaker 1: that was her. She was staying right there. Did you
Speaker 1: pick pocket her so you could meet up with her later?
Speaker 1: The move got your hot d works every time in
Speaker 1: New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Two buck teeth too? What the beaver's buck teeth?
Speaker 1: Or saying she had buck teeth?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a.
Speaker 1: Nice person, Billy, What are you talking about? This is
Speaker 1: a normal human being.
Speaker 3: I know her last name was Beavers.
Speaker 1: Oh so you're just making a general joke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it went over your head.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, all right? What's next, Uh, hopefully more jokes.
Speaker 1: And then we have Baylor at number eleven Utah. Baylor
Speaker 1: whooped up on Tarlatan State in Utah blank Southern Utah
Speaker 1: Utah by twenty one and a half. Oh, you're gonna
Speaker 1: like betting on the Utes. Then it's only fourteen and
Speaker 1: a half. Oh, Utah triple lock. Baylor's awful right games
Speaker 1: at Utah? Yeah, I'm with you. I like this pick
Speaker 1: as well. Give me I want right down.
Speaker 3: Triple lock already written down, triple.
Speaker 2: Lock first of all commination and once again betting on
Speaker 2: both Mormon grooves. And secondly, I feel like that's a
Speaker 2: crazy spread because Baylor's like projected to go like two
Speaker 2: and ten.
Speaker 1: Aren't they. Utah is very good, came rising, completed ten
Speaker 1: passes last week, and five of them were for touchdowns.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. I'm going with the Utes. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a gimme. Something's something's off, something's up,
Speaker 1: something's fishy when we double check it. What's up though?
Speaker 1: I mean I thought I just double checked it. Hmm.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the half. Is that how they get you
Speaker 2: on the fourteen and a half. I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I'm in I'm all Utah, I like it. That's a great,
Speaker 2: that's a that's that's my triple lock doozy. What's next.
Speaker 1: It's gonna blowout game everybody loves. That won't be a
Speaker 1: blowout ioways state at Iowa. This is Syhawk trophy is one.
Speaker 1: It's called the sy Hawk Trophy. The under his hit
Speaker 1: in seventeen of the last nineteen meetings, is that right?
Speaker 1: We don't bet totals, but it's down to thirty five
Speaker 1: points this year, seventeen of the last nineteen unders. Yep,
Speaker 1: they've made it so low that like a lot of
Speaker 1: those would have been over with where the line is now,
Speaker 1: but it's down to thirty five.
Speaker 2: I had someone tell me with a straight face once
Speaker 2: they were like, the best party in the United States
Speaker 2: all year is the Kentucky Derby and Iowa Iowa state.
Speaker 2: And I've always thought of that because I thought it
Speaker 2: can't be that good.
Speaker 1: With all due respect to Iowa outside of the Caucasus.
Speaker 1: What else they're looking forward to? Though? That is there?
Speaker 1: That is their Kentucky Derby. Yeah, give me, I believe it.

Speaker 2: What else, Billy, you have to call Iowa if you
Speaker 2: don't come up? Is that where they set twisters the movie.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma? Yeah? Okay, all right? What else? Give me another one?
Speaker 3: So the Hawkeye State, I mean that's what that's.
Speaker 1: The nickname of the team. That's a that's a.
Speaker 3: That's actually the state o the.
Speaker 1: World's largest truck stop. That's there. You're yes, you don't
Speaker 1: know about that. It has a movie theater and it
Speaker 1: has a movie theater. When we were going to it,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, all right, sure whatever. No, it is certainly
Speaker 1: the world's largest truck stock. I can't imagine one that's
Speaker 1: even close. You can get a massage, and not like
Speaker 1: a real one in the like, not like a one
Speaker 1: in the back of a truck, not from some guy Darryl.
Speaker 1: You can get an actual massage. You can multiple BUCkies
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, there's a movie theater.
Speaker 3: What's the scale to BUCkies? Like, how many BUCkies are
Speaker 3: we talking about?
Speaker 1: Six? Six? Oh much bigger than BUCkies. It's like a town.
Speaker 1: They just said we have the massage parlor of the
Speaker 1: movie theater. I think parlor. I don't think that's at
Speaker 1: the truck stop. Lots of restaurants, clearly, there's like four
Speaker 1: restaurants in it, like four different kinds of restaurants. A
Speaker 1: lot of old people too. Huh, all right, one more,
Speaker 1: just so that we finished the tour guide of it's
Speaker 1: all I got. I don't know. I can't think of
Speaker 1: one other thing. Everything's Caucus related. All right, Billy, while
Speaker 1: we're looking, you find this at least one more.
Speaker 3: Okay, alright, you call Ohiowa?
Speaker 1: All right? What's the spread? Uh? The spread is Iowa
Speaker 1: is a three point favorite at Iowa at Iowa. I
Speaker 1: take Iowa. Last week, Iowa had their most yards in
Speaker 1: a game in five seasons. I take Iowa. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know i was State supposed to be decent, but
Speaker 1: you're telling me they got the home field. You know,
Speaker 1: they were like they finished with nine wins like every
Speaker 1: single year. So I'll take Iowa. Yeah, I'm trusting in
Speaker 1: iowa new offensive coordinator after that fun contract last season
Speaker 1: when young Farrens didn't live up to the scoring average,
Speaker 1: I'll believe in them. After last game and they actually
Speaker 1: showed some offense, had forty points. It's gotta be like
Speaker 1: school record. Yeah. I like Iowa quite a bit. All right,
Speaker 1: what's next? How about a little Kansas at Illinois. Fun fact,
Speaker 1: this is Illinois's first sellout since twenty sixteen, and it's
Speaker 1: for the Kansas Jayhawks. You think at some point they
Speaker 1: that is really weird. What a weird game? Like?
Speaker 2: They play Ohio State, They played Michigan, they played State.
Speaker 2: They sell out for Kansas.
Speaker 1: Kansas is what finally sells it out. Part of me
Speaker 1: wonders is that Kansas fans could be Kansas excitement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're good this year. They're better than they
Speaker 2: were rate nineteenth. All right, so what's the sprint.
Speaker 1: Kansas is a five and a half point favorite on
Speaker 1: the road. They beat Lyndon would forty eight to three
Speaker 1: last week.
Speaker 2: Give me the Alina sold out stadium. Brent Beelama's wife
Speaker 2: is there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we tried to mention her a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Got the coach wrong. Brent Beelama's wife. Illinois won forty
Speaker 1: five to nothing. Last week. They played well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. Give me, give me Illinois. I
Speaker 2: might even take Illinois money line, but I'm definitely taking
Speaker 2: them to coach.
Speaker 1: It's plus one eighty. I like a good home dog.
Speaker 1: I love Illinois in this situation. Kansas beating linden Wood
Speaker 1: not even in real place. Looked it up. It's the
Speaker 1: first time they've ever played against an FBS school. Kansas
Speaker 1: was punching down in Week one. Gonna finally find some
Speaker 1: real football in Champagne this weekend. I'll take Illinois to
Speaker 1: cover that five and a half. All right, we like
Speaker 1: that when we're kind of on the same page, which
Speaker 1: is usually a good sign for week two. Did you
Speaker 1: find an eyewa fact?
Speaker 3: I did? Iowa is the largest corn producer in America.
Speaker 1: I left kornof intentionally sounds like that, and that's an
Speaker 1: easy one, Like, I mean corn is against quarr and corn.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows Iowa and corn. I mean, those are like
Speaker 1: two things that Okay, give me one more.
Speaker 3: That's Iowa is the only state name that starts with
Speaker 3: two vowels.
Speaker 1: There we go looking boom, Now you're back. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. That's true. I Oh, how many other
Speaker 1: words start with io, iodine, iona, i Owa, iota? What's ioda?
Speaker 1: I don't give one iota? Oh, Iota? Okay, gotcha ioda?
Speaker 1: Io done? Uh? Iona. Look, there's gonna be we need
Speaker 1: a science nerd. There's gonna be a lot of iOS.
Speaker 1: There's a prefixed ion. Ion is an Yeah, we got ions.
Speaker 1: You're right. Ions.
Speaker 3: We'll go to the judges for that one.
Speaker 1: Look up some that's what they want on their football
Speaker 1: pad finding some words for let's start with Okay, what's next?
Speaker 1: You mean? I gotta follow ions? I don't know what
Speaker 1: an ion is. It's something science. Yeah, it's like an
Speaker 1: adam or a molecule that's got some things going on
Speaker 1: with it. Some energy could be positive, cosey negative, depends
Speaker 1: on the day. How about Tennessee playing n C State.
Speaker 1: This is a neutral game in Charlotte. Both teams ranked
Speaker 1: Tennessee's fourteenth, n C State twenty fourth. Tennessee beat the
Speaker 1: crap out of Chattanooga, and NC State played a Western
Speaker 1: Carolina thirty eight to twenty one. I like Tennessee no
Speaker 1: matter what you tell me to spread is what is it? Eight?
Speaker 1: It was seven and a half. I like Tennessee. I
Speaker 1: think Tennessee wins by at least two touches. I think
Speaker 1: that one might be even higher by the time Saturday
Speaker 1: rolls around. I like it a lot too. Definitely, that's
Speaker 1: a seven point tas begging me to put it as
Speaker 1: part of a seven point tease. I liked Tennessee to cover.
Speaker 1: I did not like how good Nico looked and how
Speaker 1: the internet just kept talking about him last Saturday. His
Speaker 1: first half. They're incredible. Yeah, they're good. I don't want
Speaker 1: them to be did you see the Tennessee I think
Speaker 1: it was the Athletic department. Some Tennessee official account told
Speaker 1: their fans get to Charlotte early and get really drunk
Speaker 1: and loud. I didn't see that, but that sounds like
Speaker 1: something in Tennessee. If you just said that, I would
Speaker 1: guess Tennessee's the school it was.
Speaker 2: I may have not been the athletic department. Some official
Speaker 2: Tennessee something said today, make sure you get to Charlotte
Speaker 2: and get drunk and loud.
Speaker 1: Geographically, these seem pretty close. Knoxville, Raleigh, Charlotte closer, but
Speaker 1: I think should be pretty even, if not even more Tennessee.
Speaker 2: And then Charlotte is right there next to East Tennessee
Speaker 2: in the Smoky Mountains. Yeah, that I bet there are
Speaker 2: more Tennessee fans there than there are NC State fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're fired up after watching Nico. I did
Speaker 1: not want him to pan out. Yeah, I think Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I really like the Tennessee. And what was my double
Speaker 1: lock Utah.
Speaker 3: Triple lock was Baylor at Utah Utah minus fourteen and
Speaker 3: a half.
Speaker 2: It would be a good teas there too, would be
Speaker 2: a good teas with Tennessee and Utah. Throw one more
Speaker 2: in there and then it's like put Billy's ions on. No,
Speaker 2: not one iota of a chance of a loss.
Speaker 1: You got any more iOS over there? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Uh, there is a few. Ion is a three letter word, Drew,
Speaker 3: What does it mean? An atoms? We see clip of
Speaker 3: atoms that have acquired a set electric.
Speaker 1: Chart seconds ago. What's the others?
Speaker 3: Uh, there's a few ionizers.
Speaker 1: Iodation? What's iodation?
Speaker 3: Iodation is to combine and pregnate or treat with iodine.
Speaker 1: To impregnate with iodine.
Speaker 3: That's right, you iodate?
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, You and any dates out there cutting
Speaker 1: line up. That's one of my dating strategies. They girl,
Speaker 1: what give me one more these? I feel like they're
Speaker 1: all sort of.
Speaker 3: They're all like idioms of IO nine I know Jian.
Speaker 1: Okay, so most words have something to do without it?
Speaker 1: All right, what's next? Did we both give our picks there? Yes?
Speaker 1: We did another big game, Colorado going to Nebraska. This
Speaker 1: was exciting. Last year Colorado in the dion debut, beat
Speaker 1: Nebraska pretty handily. Yeah. Games at Nebraska at Nebraska. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I tell me Sanders versus Dylan Ryola, battle star freshman
Speaker 1: quarterback for Nebraska. I'm going to guess the spread. I'm
Speaker 1: going to say Nebraska by seven seven and a half.
Speaker 1: These guessings pretty good. There's my other one in the tees.
Speaker 1: I almost interrupted you earlier, but I didn't want to
Speaker 1: get too far ahead. But I was going to say,
Speaker 1: there's one more coming.
Speaker 2: That Tennessee Utah teas is perfect Nebraska Tennessee Utah. That
Speaker 2: that would get you like plus one fourteen or something
Speaker 2: if you take all three on the tees or something
Speaker 2: like that. That to me is go, Nebraska is gonna
Speaker 2: win this game. I don't love seven and a half.
Speaker 2: I wish it was six and a half, which is
Speaker 2: why it is seven and a half. But I will
Speaker 2: still take Nebraska. I think there's a chance Nebraska destroys them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Colorado seems to be like three people Sanders, Travis Hunter,
Speaker 1: and the other receiver they never talked about, Jimmy Horn.
Speaker 1: I think Nebraska dominates them in the trenches on both sides.
Speaker 1: Last year, even though Sanders had almost four hundre yards,
Speaker 1: they sacked him seven or eight times. I think there'll
Speaker 1: be more of that, but he won't be as successful.
Speaker 1: I think the Colorado defense is gonna give up a
Speaker 1: lot to raft, so I'll go or Nebraska to cover,
Speaker 1: even though I bet a lot of against Nebraska last year,
Speaker 1: This year, I think I might go the other way.
Speaker 1: I think they might be for real.
Speaker 2: I think they're a sleeper team this year. And you know,
Speaker 2: no one has hated Nebraska more than me and Fun
Speaker 2: my entire life. Yeah, and I'm in on Nebraska this year.
Speaker 2: I actually think they're gonna be pretty good. I don't
Speaker 2: think they'll make the playoff, but I think they're going
Speaker 2: to be like nine and three, eight and four, and
Speaker 2: I like them.
Speaker 1: I remember betting this the other way last year, taking
Speaker 1: Colorado because I didn't believe in Nebraska. This year, I
Speaker 1: think they got them. All right. We'll do a little,
Speaker 1: just a little college football break here. TD Tuddy What

Speaker 2: the country on our daily show. I created a Survivor
Speaker 2: Pickham League, and it's for the celebrities that are friends
Speaker 2: of KSR. And can we use that term loosely? You know,
Speaker 2: the person who is by far the most excited about
Speaker 2: this and his wrinten me seven or eight text messages
Speaker 2: about it, Andy Buckley. David Wallace from the in the office.
Speaker 2: David Wallace from the office is so excited, he wrote,
Speaker 2: let me read the first one. Uh, please let everyone
Speaker 2: else know. They're now playing for second place. The combination
Speaker 2: for he goes, my pick week one is the Raiders
Speaker 2: and I think they play the Chargers.
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a Hey, don't mess with
Speaker 1: his excitement, but he says the combination of Kenny Stabler
Speaker 1: Freddie Bullitt in the cough is going to be unstoppable
Speaker 1: this season. See he's gonna give a little reasonings mind
Speaker 1: this pick. Maybe a future fade this guest. Oh, he
Speaker 1: would be a good faid this guest.
Speaker 3: What was his invention in the office. I don't remember
Speaker 3: what was it, like suck it or something like that.
Speaker 1: His invention was suck it. Well, I don't remember that episode.
Speaker 1: Is that after it was the Robert California was on.
Speaker 3: I'm Not Crazy. It was like a vacuum that he
Speaker 3: invented in the in the show.
Speaker 1: So before the Office, he was into Reba McIntyre music videos.
Speaker 1: He was, I think that I can actually picture it.
Speaker 1: There you go, that's how you got to start. Wow,
Speaker 1: what else has he been in?
Speaker 3: I don't know, let's find out.
Speaker 1: He's I feel like everybody knows him from the uh
Speaker 1: from the definitely. David Wallace saw an interview with Kevin
Speaker 1: from the Office. What's his real name? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I know who you're talking about. He said. He
Speaker 1: was like he for a few years made a million
Speaker 1: dollars a year on cameo. He's a big cameo guy.
Speaker 2: And he said that being Kevin has both been the
Speaker 2: best and worst thing of his life. He said it's
Speaker 2: the best thing because it's given him a living and
Speaker 2: like the best life that he thought he could have
Speaker 2: as an actor. It's been the worst thing because people
Speaker 2: think he's dumb and just come up to him like
Speaker 2: he's really Kevin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some characters you just only see them as who
Speaker 1: they portrayed. They could do fifty movies, but they're stuck
Speaker 1: in one role. If I saw him on the street,
Speaker 1: I would want him to drop a pot of chili
Speaker 1: or do something for people like that that you can't
Speaker 1: look at them. In another role, Dwight True would be one.
Speaker 1: Could you see Rain Wilson in any other role? I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even want to call him Rain.
Speaker 3: I don't know Arkle m George from Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: He did other things. Well, Kramer, now Seinfeld. I'd go
Speaker 1: Cramer first. Kramer. I don't think you could think of
Speaker 1: Kramer as anything else other than Kramer. Yeah, what Alf?
Speaker 3: Okay, Shannon Alf.
Speaker 2: Did have a hard time expanding to more dramatic seems
Speaker 2: the key is to be on a long running show.
Speaker 2: People can't turn that off.
Speaker 1: I think also, if you're the weird guy, something quirky
Speaker 1: about you, something kind of quirky or strange, I think
Speaker 1: that makes it harder. I'm trying to think of what else.
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano just thinking about the sopranos in my head.
Speaker 2: I saw him in a movie, right, I think the
Speaker 2: last thing he made before he died, And he's not
Speaker 2: supposed to be Tony Soprano, but you can't help looking
Speaker 2: at him as Tony Soprano.
Speaker 1: Oh he played the warden in a prison in a
Speaker 1: fairly big movie one year and you're just watching it, like,
Speaker 1: why is Tony Soprano's awarding of this prison? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good question though for the future, maybe on the
Speaker 1: text machine seven seven for a character Dwight Truth's got
Speaker 1: to be up there. Could you see him doing anything
Speaker 1: as White? Has he done anything else? I guess he has.
Speaker 1: I've seen him in a few things, but he's still DWIGHTE.
Speaker 3: Andy Buckley was in veep Jurassic World, remember, Yeah, he
Speaker 3: did okay shameless? Remember Alvin and the Chipmunks?
Speaker 1: You got the KSR Survival League. I don't remember him
Speaker 1: and Alvin and the Chipmunks, but maybe I should have.
Speaker 1: All Right, what's next? What'd we just do? Little Colorado? Nebraska? Yes, uh,
Speaker 1: let's go to Boise State at Oregon. Oregon did not
Speaker 1: look good last week, not, which is why I'm betting
Speaker 1: on him. What's the spread twenty But the early season
Speaker 1: line was like twenty four to twenty five if you
Speaker 1: were to look at it a week ago, so there's
Speaker 1: about a four from Secondly, I'm still gonna take Oregon.
Speaker 1: I think you know in Oregon it's a different state
Speaker 1: than Boise, and they're gonna they're gonna be more situated.
Speaker 1: And the Boys has got one of the best running
Speaker 1: backs in the country, but we took Bush Hampden from him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Week one, he had six rushing touchdowns in two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty seven yards. But that's all they do. They're
Speaker 1: one dimensional, and he's due to regress exactly. Oregon will
Speaker 1: be ready to stop him. Twenty I don't you know,
Speaker 1: I don't like to give any team twenty, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna still take Orgon. I think they win by twenty
Speaker 1: one points. I'm gonna take Oregon here. I'm very confused.
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel went forty one for forty nine for three
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards and two touchdowns. How did they
Speaker 1: need a late touchdown? Even put this away? Like, if
Speaker 1: you look at their box scoring their stats, it looks
Speaker 1: like they played a pretty good game. They just don't
Speaker 1: have many points. But again, under my week two rule,
Speaker 1: this game stands out.
Speaker 2: Boyse he wins a game that I think was a
Speaker 2: little bit of a toss up, and they won fifty.
Speaker 1: Six forty five to Georgia Southern. Yeah, and I think
Speaker 1: they might have even been an underdog in that game,
Speaker 1: or it was supposed to be closed. Oregon doesn't look
Speaker 1: good in their game, you bounce back. This is a
Speaker 1: classic play the go the opposite way. I'm taking I'm
Speaker 1: taking org. Last week, Oregon was a forty four and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite in one fourteen. I think they're
Speaker 1: due for I think they're due give me. They got
Speaker 1: to make make it a little statement this week. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to make that a lock, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make it kind of a feeling saucy pick. The feeling
Speaker 1: saucy pick, feeling saucy pick. What's next? Let's do? Because
Speaker 1: they were in the news, Well, let me make sure
Speaker 1: I have a line for it. Eastern Kentucky versus Western
Speaker 1: Kentucky playing this week, So Billy, I wanted your take
Speaker 1: on this, So bring it up Western Kentucky. I wanted
Speaker 1: to wear white uniforms to have a white out, but
Speaker 1: the road team gets to choose uniform color and Eastern
Speaker 1: chose white. But they had already declared a white out,
Speaker 1: So the crowd is going to be all in white,
Speaker 1: but Eastern is going to be wearing white. Are you
Speaker 1: mad about this? As a Western grad.
Speaker 3: I'm just infuriated by it. I mean, why does the
Speaker 3: road team get to decide what uniforms are?
Speaker 1: Those are the rules, I mean wise murder illegal, Like,
Speaker 1: there are laws that are put in place and you
Speaker 1: have to follow them, and the road team gets to
Speaker 1: choose the universe.
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. I think we need to change the rule.
Speaker 3: If you're the home team, you should decide what threads
Speaker 3: you want to wear.
Speaker 1: I disagree, and I think this is awesome. They played
Speaker 1: every year for like eighty years, they took a twenty
Speaker 1: year break, they're finally getting back to play again, and
Speaker 1: Eastern's already turning up the rivalry four or five days out.
Speaker 1: I kind of like it too. Why do I have
Speaker 1: to change my routine? There is your white out. I
Speaker 1: don't need to help your white You know the road
Speaker 1: team gets to do a lot in games. Did you
Speaker 1: know the road team is in charge of bringing the
Speaker 1: foot balls? So yeah, the footballs where both teams are
Speaker 1: brought by. The road team is in charge of the
Speaker 1: footballs and foot believe that? What do you mean you
Speaker 1: don't believe it?
Speaker 3: Well, you think this team has their own footballs and
Speaker 3: it's got their own damn logo on it no.
Speaker 2: The road team brings the footballs. Now, they may use
Speaker 2: the home team's logo, but the road team, the road
Speaker 2: team has the footballs and there's something else.
Speaker 1: They have orange slices for halftime. Also, they're required to
Speaker 1: bring the orange slices.
Speaker 3: When does the road team decide they get to pick
Speaker 3: the uniforms?
Speaker 1: In the history, it's been the rule. It's the rule always.
Speaker 1: The road always wears the road always wears no in football.
Speaker 2: In basketball, it's actually the opposite. In basketball, it's the opposite.
Speaker 2: The home team gets to choose uniform. But in football,
Speaker 2: the road team chooses to choose the colors. And you're right,
Speaker 2: they mostly choose a color uniform. But this time they're
Speaker 2: choosing what they normally wear white. Okay, so they're saying,
Speaker 2: we're not changing for.
Speaker 1: You Western, We're gonna wear what we would normally watch it.
Speaker 3: Sorry, yeah, we need to change that rule. Get on that, Matt,
Speaker 3: You got to Yes, I.
Speaker 1: Can't Western, Just say all right, now we're wearing red. Like,
Speaker 1: why are they so insistent that it has to be
Speaker 1: a white out?
Speaker 3: Well, it's you know, it's hard to get people on
Speaker 3: the same page. You've already declared it a white out,
Speaker 3: is that we shouldn't have a white out.
Speaker 1: Have to change. Keep seeing this graphic that says it's
Speaker 1: white out, but it's not from UK. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's just one person on Twitter trying to get something going.
Speaker 1: I've not seen anything official from UK. All right, what's next.
Speaker 3: What's the line of that game?
Speaker 1: There actually wasn't a line, so I brought that up
Speaker 1: thinking there would be one. There's none. So we have
Speaker 1: three more games left. That was my tenth. You got
Speaker 1: to get four more because we got it. Let's one
Speaker 1: to twelve. Oh, we got three? Okay, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to do. There's some big sports have done Kentucky, yet
Speaker 1: we do Kentucky South Carolina. So now it's ten ten.
Speaker 1: I don't like to say this, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: take South Carolina to cover. I think ten is too much.
Speaker 1: I think by rule is still the applies, which is
Speaker 1: you give too much credit to Week one South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Look back, Kentucky was up thirty one nothn after a
Speaker 1: quarter in five minutes. I think Kentucky wins the game,
Speaker 1: but I think South Carolina covers the two. I don't
Speaker 1: think see South Carolina get more than about ten points.
Speaker 1: In this so Ken Kentucky again in the twenties, I'll
Speaker 1: say yes, South Carolina looked pretty damn terrible offensively against
Speaker 1: Old Dominion. That new quarterback, he's got a long way
Speaker 1: to go and he's about to make his first SEC start.
Speaker 1: If Kentucky's offensive line can protect Vandergriff, I think they cover.
Speaker 1: So you don't think South Carolina can score two Tuddies,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think it's unlikely. They looked pretty bad.
Speaker 1: They needed two turnovers in the red zone to even
Speaker 1: be in position to score against Old Dominion at home. Well,
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I hope we win by more
Speaker 1: than ten points.
Speaker 2: I would love to see the Kentucky Georgia game be
Speaker 2: hugely important half game day. I think that'd be great
Speaker 2: for the program. We're one of the there's a handful
Speaker 2: of schools that have never had game Day in Power five,
Speaker 2: but of the schools that I've had it, we're one
Speaker 2: of the ones that's been the longest for been since
Speaker 2: seven So I think it would be cool to have it.
Speaker 2: If you look at the season, this is the only
Speaker 2: time we would have a chance to have it this year,
Speaker 2: So I hope it happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is always a swing game for these teams.
Speaker 1: You kind of at the end of the year, it
Speaker 1: could look what this game did and how successful your
Speaker 1: season was. Yeah, all right, what's next. We'll stay in
Speaker 1: the SEC with Arkansas going to Oklahoma State to see
Speaker 1: Mike Gundy.
Speaker 2: These teams, these states border and I don't think these
Speaker 2: teams have played in like eighty years.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's impressive something like that.
Speaker 2: It's been a long long time, Like it goes cause
Speaker 2: I think Oklahoma State was like in the Big eight
Speaker 2: or something and they were in the SWC. And I
Speaker 2: don't think these teams have played in forever. What'd you say?
Speaker 1: Spread was seven and a half and it's where in Stillwater?
Speaker 2: Give me Oklahoma State to cover. I don't think Arkansas
Speaker 2: is any good. They're saying this quarterback that got the
Speaker 2: new Matt Jones, not me, the other one. But they
Speaker 2: were playing like but so, I mean, I don't think
Speaker 2: I mean they did.
Speaker 1: They won seventy to nothing Blenn Arkansas Pine Bluff. Oh,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that team, that's who it was.
Speaker 3: They got Bobby Petrino.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Oklahoma State's good. Mike Gundy, he's fifty. He
Speaker 2: has a have you did you see his hair?
Speaker 1: It's incredible. I don't like the guy, but that is amazing.
Speaker 1: Did you see his hair?
Speaker 3: Not recently, but he has a perm don't look at it.
Speaker 1: He he has a perm like it. He has a
Speaker 1: Jerry curl. Look is using a lot more product these days.
Speaker 1: But no, I mean it's a perm like it is
Speaker 1: not a hair. He looks like he's in the Jackson five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if I'd go with that that look.
Speaker 1: First of all, it looks like a tupey, but I
Speaker 1: don't think it is. You have to have a special
Speaker 1: level of bad hair to look like you're wearing a
Speaker 1: twopey when you're not. When did it get so curly?
Speaker 1: Even Dick hoops Wise thinks it's a tupez He's always
Speaker 1: had the waterfall, but this is like he's put the
Speaker 1: curtain the rollers in, got some curls. Tested that to him, like, look,
Speaker 1: I mean just look at that. Is that better or
Speaker 1: worse than the mullet? You think he went so far
Speaker 1: that after he got all that criticism for watching an
Speaker 1: he now only watches BT and he thought that was
Speaker 1: his showing. Do you think he like he just went
Speaker 1: in the up opposite direction. I think he's still watching
Speaker 1: a in To be honest, I mean, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: But even I'm going to Arkansas, I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: in good conscious after seeing the picture of this hair.
Speaker 2: I have to tell you, I kind of like Oklahoma
Speaker 2: State in that tease. I might even take Utah out
Speaker 2: of it, just so that I don't have to worry
Speaker 2: about the number and just take Tennessee, Nebraska, Oklahoma State
Speaker 2: to win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are all about seven and seven and a half,
Speaker 1: and just take the three of them to win. I
Speaker 1: feel actually that's gonna be a bet. I do make
Speaker 1: a seven point tease with those three teams, all right,
Speaker 1: one morning. Then we'll go there. All these spreads are
Speaker 1: so big. How about my goodness, you got any games?
Speaker 1: Pick me.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what here, I'll do this. Let's do
Speaker 2: the thing I like to do when we when we
Speaker 2: don't have a game. Billy, I'm gonna give me this second.
Speaker 2: I'm an pull up college football, and then you're gonna
Speaker 2: tell me when to stop. Okay, right, all right, ready, okay,
Speaker 2: go tell me when stop and stop? Uh Houston, Clemson,
Speaker 2: Appalachian State.
Speaker 1: I thought about bringing that one up just to get
Speaker 1: you to talk about Clemson. Clemson seventeen point give me Clemson.
Speaker 2: They're gonna even though I have blacked State's good, this
Speaker 2: is gonna be again too far in the other direction.
Speaker 2: Clemson's gonna use this as a chance to show that Dabbo.
Speaker 2: He's he's gonna this week, he's gonna be washed in
Speaker 2: the blood and he's gonna come out and they're gonna
Speaker 2: win by like twenty three.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take aap State. Okay, they always seem to
Speaker 1: play well in big games like this, and I really
Speaker 1: think Clemson. You think they're cooked. I mean, they'll have
Speaker 1: a decent year in that conference, but they're not old Clemson.
Speaker 1: Those days are long behind.
Speaker 4: Dabbo his speech after that game, where he was like,
Speaker 4: people gonna say what they gonna say, let them say it,
Speaker 4: but we got things to say and they might be
Speaker 4: saying it, But then what about what we say?
Speaker 1: You're like, what are you talking about? Have we talked
Speaker 1: about un here? How he isn't taking calls on his
Speaker 1: coaches show. Yeah, he stopped doing that because of Tyler
Speaker 1: from Spartanburg. What's pretty cowardly. It's a coach's college. That's
Speaker 1: the point of the show.
Speaker 2: You know how much of Mark Stoops's salary and I'm
Speaker 2: sure this strip of Dabbo and a lot of these playing,
Speaker 2: you know how much of it's paid by the radio show.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's a lot. How much it's a lot.
Speaker 2: I want to say, like, I don't know the exact figures,
Speaker 2: but let's say Stoops makes what does he make eight
Speaker 2: millions something like that. Let's say makes I would bat,
Speaker 2: I would beat.
Speaker 1: I don't know this for you. I think it's like
Speaker 1: a half million dollars of that for that radio I
Speaker 1: believe the media obligations there they take those series like
Speaker 1: otherwise I would do it, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: why would you gotta have a reason to get him
Speaker 1: to show up? If if they weren't paying them much,
Speaker 1: they just keep skipping it.
Speaker 3: Unt cal Couten do it half the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I wouldn't use him as the example of
Speaker 2: what Dabo should do. Let me ask you is Dabo.
Speaker 2: Does Dabo take a transfer next year? I think he's
Speaker 2: too far into I'm not taking transfers. He's too committed
Speaker 2: to the A great terrible answer. Today they asked him
Speaker 2: about that, and he said something like, we've built a
Speaker 2: culture here, why would we change it. That's stupid to
Speaker 2: change the culture that we've had. That's that's again. It's
Speaker 2: like Blockbuster going, we have a culture of renting videos.
Speaker 2: We don't need the internet or I don't need the internet.
Speaker 1: What kind of culture do we have? A culture? People
Speaker 1: come in here and buy rent video tape. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: shocking that someone wouldn't take a trans for but I
Speaker 1: believe he'll stick with this. Interesting.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the NFL National Football League. Uh,
Speaker 2: we're gonna do eight games. First of all, let's quickly,
Speaker 2: let's pick our super Bowl before we do these games.
Speaker 2: Who do you like making the Super bowls?
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, haven't thought that far ahead yet? How about?
Speaker 1: Uh put the Chiefs in it? Because they're always in
Speaker 1: it and it seems like the NFC is like wide open. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was just thinking of maybe the destroy Lions.
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, you act like that's a surprise pick. I
Speaker 1: think they're the favorites to make it.
Speaker 3: Like you're saying that historically the historically franchise, I.
Speaker 1: Will say the Eagles bounce back from a disappointing game.
Speaker 1: So Eagles Chiefs, I'm gonna go Chiefs, and yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: take the lines. I mean, I don't. I don't like
Speaker 1: any of the teams in the NFC. It feels like
Speaker 1: this it would be the year the Cowboys would find
Speaker 1: a way to get in when like nobody, when everybody's
Speaker 1: giving up on him. Finally, forty nine Ers are probably
Speaker 1: the favorite. That's the lame answer, since they just played
Speaker 1: and the losing team in the Super Bowl is never good.
Speaker 1: Just go through history, it's never They're never good the
Speaker 1: next year. So why I'm not breaking the car, Like,
Speaker 1: go back and look, losing team in the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think they've missed the playoffs something like twelve of
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years the losing team in.
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl, and the Bills did fine in the nineties.
Speaker 1: That was not the last fifteen years. It was not.
Speaker 3: But I will take a Ravens Lions as my pick.
Speaker 1: I like that. I think the Ravens are I think
Speaker 1: the I mean, look, the FC has a lot of
Speaker 1: good teams. I mean, just take teams you think are good.
Speaker 1: I hate Am Rogers, but the Jets, the Dolphins and
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Bengals and the Ravens. You might even
Speaker 1: throw in the Browns, right, maybe the Texans, then the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: That's like seven teams. You wouldn't be shocked if they
Speaker 1: won the A.
Speaker 2: The Chargers could be good Chargers if hard Balls got
Speaker 2: a shot to be good and you know then even
Speaker 2: like the Steelers are never bad.
Speaker 1: Right, so they got rest. Jacksonville is going to be
Speaker 1: a lot better this year. So the FC has got
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Did you say the Texans, because
Speaker 1: even though they were, they're definitely Yeah, I admit it
Speaker 1: being a Titans fan, but the Texans have really turned definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean who in that who in the AFC is bad? Patriots?
Speaker 1: That's probably the only team that you would look at
Speaker 1: and go that team is definitely gonna But there are
Speaker 1: people who think they're going to be good. I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either. Maybe the Titans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Titans might be bad. I hope not. People
Speaker 1: on TV picking them as a wild card today, So
Speaker 1: they're not terrible. Yeah, well, we'll see a lot. I mean,
Speaker 1: if Will has a good year, then that'd be good.
Speaker 1: All right, what's our first game? Let's start with Thursday night.
Speaker 1: If you spread here got the Baltimore ra even's playing
Speaker 1: at Kansas City. He spread is, uh, Kansas City is
Speaker 1: a three point favorite. Randall Cobbs in our league, it's
Speaker 1: a big league Bam, Lissa Lang and Randall and Andy
Speaker 1: Buck out of what are they out of pocket? Is
Speaker 1: that their show? Or is that a different show? Is
Speaker 1: that a show? Are they on the show together? Listing
Speaker 1: and Randall Cobb Well, maybe that's why she I think
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, okay, out of pocket? What'd you say? Spread?
Speaker 1: Was three?
Speaker 2: I like the Chiefs uh, you know, used to be
Speaker 2: the home team won this game every year and then
Speaker 2: in the last few years it's kind of gone the
Speaker 2: other way. I think they're gonna want to go. Do
Speaker 2: we believe that Taylor Swift still dating Travis keil I
Speaker 2: saw the rumor going on contract, and I don't believe that.
Speaker 2: I don't believe there was a contract and it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be printed out like that on them word to get
Speaker 2: a print out like on a doss document.
Speaker 3: They just signed one hundred million dollar deal for their podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're the people that signed Travis Kelsey to
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar deal on the podcast and then
Speaker 1: he and Taylor break up. We talked about this on
Speaker 1: the Morning Show while you were gone last week. But
Speaker 1: they got a hundred million dollar deal and we're just
Speaker 1: a few spots behind them in the charts. What's up
Speaker 1: with that?
Speaker 3: It's not lining up.
Speaker 1: Right now. We don't have a contract for next year
Speaker 1: one hundred million. Let's start there first of all, just
Speaker 1: throw it out there. You could have us for of that.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking we'll sign for just Jason Kelsey's
Speaker 1: cut of their podcast too. I really like Jason Kelsey
Speaker 1: by the way. It's hard not to.
Speaker 2: I mean I like Travis too, but I think Jason
Speaker 2: seems not just like fun. I think he's smart. Like
Speaker 2: when you listen to hims talk, you don't think he's smart.
Speaker 3: Billy, he lost his Super Bowl ring in a swimming
Speaker 3: pool of chili.
Speaker 1: Just out having fun. Though, you can be smart and
Speaker 1: have fun and a chili cook off. That's just bros
Speaker 1: being bros, Is that right? Yeah? You don't. You don't understand.
Speaker 1: How was your bachelor party?
Speaker 3: By the way, it was fine. I mean it was
Speaker 3: the twin brother of the guy that left me at
Speaker 3: the club at four in the morning in Charleston.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about Billy's friends, do you? I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, nope, we won't tell them. Do your friends suck?
Speaker 3: I mean I get a smaller and smaller friend group
Speaker 3: every year.
Speaker 1: Oh you cut people out of your life.
Speaker 3: I mean it just naturally happens. Does that not happen
Speaker 3: to you?
Speaker 1: No? But I also like I've had the same eight
Speaker 1: or ten people.
Speaker 2: You could make a strong argument in the last decade
Speaker 2: I've added no close friends, Like Drew is probably the
Speaker 2: last really close friend that I've added, and that was
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: That was too much. After that, close the door, He's enough.
Speaker 1: So you're like, you just how many close friends do
Speaker 1: you think you have?
Speaker 3: Probably like five or six?
Speaker 1: Not many? So what was it five years ago?
Speaker 3: Probably closer to ten, okay.
Speaker 1: Because they keep believing each other parties and you just
Speaker 1: those people. Did they make you mad or did they like?
Speaker 3: Oh, like, I'm just I'm somebody that reaches out and
Speaker 3: says how you're doing. But if you don't reach out
Speaker 3: to me and reciprocate, I feel like I take it
Speaker 3: personally sometimes like I'm the only one doing the work
Speaker 3: in this realm.
Speaker 1: How old are you again?
Speaker 3: Twenty nine?
Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's an age. Where are the ones that
Speaker 2: you're breaking up with as friends? Are they getting married? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what it is. Though they'll come back. They'll get
Speaker 2: bored of their wife. No, I'm not even kidding, Like,
Speaker 2: that's what happens. Starting about twenty five or twenty six,
Speaker 2: friends get married, they're in love, then they have to
Speaker 2: hang out with her friends, and then sometime in their thirties,
Speaker 2: they're like, I really don't like these people i'm around anymore.
Speaker 1: I can't do this anymore, So let's go back to
Speaker 1: the people I like. That that will happen.
Speaker 3: A lot of them have kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then once they're not pooping their pants, it's
Speaker 2: easier for them to text you. I mean, you're friends,
Speaker 2: but don't welcome the ones back that leave you fifty
Speaker 2: miles from the house.
Speaker 1: That guy sucks. I don't know who he is, but
Speaker 1: I think he is. He left you fifty miles from
Speaker 1: your house and knew he was doing it.
Speaker 3: He's also the same guy that one buddy in our
Speaker 3: friend group didn't invite them to be in the wedding.
Speaker 3: They invited him to the wedding, but to not be
Speaker 3: in the wedding, and they took that personally and never
Speaker 3: talked to him again.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you all have a very dysfunctional friendship. How
Speaker 1: do you know these people?
Speaker 3: High school?
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to move on from your house.
Speaker 3: I am thee It sounds like you do a lot
Speaker 3: of work.
Speaker 1: All right, what do we got? I don't think I
Speaker 1: picked there, But I'm also going with the Chiefs. All right,
Speaker 1: what's next? I don't I'm not ready to see Derek
Speaker 1: Henry in that Baltimore uniform. May be good, No, he's not.
Speaker 1: I think he is too. Billy, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a good year. Friday Night
Speaker 1: on Peacock Live from Brazil, Green Bay versus Philly. Philly's
Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite. So what do
Speaker 1: you think about the fact that the players are scared
Speaker 1: to leave their room?
Speaker 3: Oh? I didn't hear this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to play the game if you
Speaker 1: can't leave you.
Speaker 2: First of all, I think a little bit of it
Speaker 2: is like it's a good example that people need to
Speaker 2: read like they just act like they're scared of like Brazil.
Speaker 2: I mean, my guess is these guys are not going
Speaker 2: to be going to like the City of God part
Speaker 2: of Brazil in the.
Speaker 1: NFL, I hope has pretty good security around them whatever
Speaker 1: they're doing. Yeah, well, I mean A J. Brown's like,
Speaker 1: I'm never leaving my room the whole time. It's like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, it's not It's not like they're gonna
Speaker 1: get kidnapped when they walk to the you know, Boca
Speaker 1: Dechau or whatever's that where they're going. Probably don't want
Speaker 1: to go there. In Brazil. I'd get some local if
Speaker 1: it were me. It's a Brazilian steakhouse. Yeah, oh, I know,
Speaker 1: but I've just that's more of a chain. You think
Speaker 1: you just go to steakhouse? Do you get KFC in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same concept Fogo Day Show. So
Speaker 1: if I'm the Eagles, I'm kind of upset. I'm giving
Speaker 1: up a home game here, right because this is supposed
Speaker 1: to be their home game and they can't even leave
Speaker 1: their room. And and they can't even leave their.
Speaker 3: Room because they're silly and be afraid to leave your
Speaker 3: room in Brazil.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, like they should be trained for this.
Speaker 1: I think sometimes Americans think the whole rest of the world.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have the highest violence rate of any
Speaker 1: Western country. I don't know if Brazil's western, but it's
Speaker 1: it's not. But it's probably a little bit more dangerous
Speaker 1: than here, but not parts of it. I just I
Speaker 1: hate when.
Speaker 2: People are like, like, when I talk about going to
Speaker 2: New York, I'll have friends here in Kentucky be like, oh,
Speaker 2: just scared.
Speaker 1: It's like they're saying good bad to you forever. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's an olive guard across the street from where I'm staying, Like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not scared. I'm gonna take the I hate this number.
Speaker 1: If it were three, I think i'd go Green Bay
Speaker 1: with how they finished the year, had that playoff run
Speaker 1: as a number seven seed. But two and a half
Speaker 1: is just begging me to bet on Philly, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Yeah, I'll take the Eagle. Also, move
Speaker 1: on a Sunday, A game we care about, my Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans at your Chicago Bears. Your Bears are four point
Speaker 1: favorite with their stupid new quarterback. This is actually this
Speaker 1: is a massive, massive game for the Bears.
Speaker 2: Like if you look at their schedule, they have to
Speaker 2: win this game because they have some hard parts of
Speaker 2: their schedule and at home against the Titans, who probably
Speaker 2: won't be that great. They've got to win. The pressure
Speaker 2: is on them. I saw a stat though, that has
Speaker 2: me worried. In the last fifteen games where a number
Speaker 2: one overall pick has started his first game against the spread,
Speaker 2: that team is ohen fifteen, Oh it's not good, oh
Speaker 2: and fifteen. The last fifteen times a number one overall
Speaker 2: pick has started at quarterback in their first game.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna you can trust your boy Caleb. Caleb's
Speaker 1: can break the curse. He's the one. The one doesn't
Speaker 1: happened sixteen times. Saw They're not a normal team that
Speaker 1: picks number one. It was a trade. They have the
Speaker 1: Panthers pick, so they're not. They were not the worst
Speaker 1: team last year.
Speaker 2: They won seven games and I think they lost five
Speaker 2: games on the last possession, and they've gotten better. Unlike
Speaker 2: most offenses with the number one overall pick, they have
Speaker 2: a lot of weapons. They went and got the guy,
Speaker 2: they got him weapons. They also had their number one
Speaker 2: pick where they picked a wide receiver. I think they win,
Speaker 2: but I am nervous because they need to win or
Speaker 2: the season could be over in the first week.
Speaker 1: I think they win the game, but the Titans cover
Speaker 1: the four. For anything, you just said rookie quarterbacks. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that stat, but usually a tough game, even
Speaker 1: being home Tennessee's defense. It's all right, But I think
Speaker 1: this will come down to a field goal either way,
Speaker 1: So I'll take Tennessee to cover, but I think the
Speaker 1: Bears will end up winning.
Speaker 2: Now, by the way, the counter to what I just
Speaker 2: said about stats is the Bears finished with the fourth
Speaker 2: best point differential in the preseas in the history of
Speaker 2: the NFL. This year, the three teams that did better
Speaker 2: than them won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Interesting, Yeah, who cares about preseason Titans?
Speaker 1: We're great preseason team, undefeated, right dro maybe the best
Speaker 1: preseason team.
Speaker 2: They weren't just a minute, and I want just gonna
Speaker 2: say the Bears were not just They won like every game,
Speaker 2: like thirty four to three.
Speaker 1: I didn't keep up. Is it because they were playing
Speaker 1: the new guys a lot more than they would normally
Speaker 1: play it.
Speaker 2: For Tyler Bagent as their backup, it might actually be
Speaker 2: pretty good, might be a decent quarterback. And then they've
Speaker 2: they've got a lot of depth. I mean, they do
Speaker 2: have a lot of So two stats going diametrically opposed
Speaker 2: to each other in this game, one of them will
Speaker 2: end up looking at it. We'll see which one.
Speaker 1: What's next a couple of young quarterbacks in the Houston
Speaker 1: at Indie game, Little Anthony Richardson versus c J. Stroud.
Speaker 1: Houston is a three point road favorite at the Colts.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Houston.
Speaker 2: I don't like taking Rows first of all, the NFL
Speaker 2: home road doesn't matter as much, but I it'll be
Speaker 2: loud because it's their first game. Anthony Richardson coming back,
Speaker 2: But I think CJ. Stroud's for real. I think Houston's
Speaker 2: gonna be really good this year. I'll take Houston.
Speaker 1: Let me take Houston too. We just didn't see enough
Speaker 1: of Richardon to know what he can be. I think
Speaker 1: there's still a chance that he's not very good, Whereas
Speaker 1: Stroud was had a breakout rookie year. And I do
Speaker 1: not like how good the Texans got in the offseason.
Speaker 1: I think they start off looking good and cover against
Speaker 1: the Colts. Yep, all right, we're on the same page.
Speaker 1: What's next? New England at Cincinnati another game that I
Speaker 1: think is hugely important for one of the teams, the
Speaker 1: big game without Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know what the odds are,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to bet before tomorrow Bengals most wins
Speaker 2: in the NFL.
Speaker 1: And here's why.
Speaker 2: Not because I necessarily think they're the best team, but
Speaker 2: they have the third easiest schedule in football, and if
Speaker 2: you look at the other teams that have easy schedules,
Speaker 2: they're bad teams. But because they came in fourth last year,
Speaker 2: and because the AFEE North has the weird divisions where
Speaker 2: they play the easier teams, the Bengals have a really
Speaker 2: easy schedule. But you also can't lose to New England
Speaker 2: at home in our Survivor League. Spoiler alert, the Bengals
Speaker 2: are gonna be my pick this week. Uh So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take the Beans. But do you know that the
Speaker 2: spread is eight points? Yes, it's a big spread. I
Speaker 2: don't care they're playing Jacoby Brissett.
Speaker 1: I liked. I still like the Beings. What about running
Speaker 1: back Ramandre Stevenson, who I've never heard of, Not sure
Speaker 1: what's team he's on. Patriots. I'm just looking at the
Speaker 1: Patriots roster because as we were talking about it, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't really name many Patriots, and now that I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the roster, I don't understand. I also think
Speaker 1: they must think they're going to be really, really bad
Speaker 1: because they're not playing Drake Matty.
Speaker 3: Their old line's awful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so they've got to be like, we don't
Speaker 1: want to get him hurt. Do you have faith in
Speaker 1: Jared Mayo, who's that their coach taking over for Belichick?
Speaker 1: There's your answer. I honestly thought I might still play
Speaker 1: linebacker for him. I hate big spreads, but I'll take
Speaker 1: Cincinnati here too, mostly because behind you, this whole time
Speaker 1: we've been doing a show, they've been debating Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: getting paid and beingles this bingles that pushing me towards it.
Speaker 3: People forget you guys are really good at NFL picks
Speaker 3: last year?
Speaker 1: What were we?
Speaker 3: I don't have it in front of him, but Tony, no,
Speaker 3: I mean you were like four and one every week.
Speaker 1: We were really good last year because we know the
Speaker 1: least about it. We agreed a lot. We're agreeing a
Speaker 1: lot now. I mean, Tony, reality, like that just hit me.
Speaker 3: He like he's going to you ejected him from the game.
Speaker 1: Well, but I mean again, he's still a handsome guy.
Speaker 1: But look at him, Like when he got started, he
Speaker 1: was like a Kid as long as I've been on, Well,
Speaker 1: it's about to get canceled, right. I think it's canceled
Speaker 1: at the end of this year. I think they're finally
Speaker 1: getting rid of it. With all due respect to everyone
Speaker 1: on it, the few times I look up and it's
Speaker 1: on TV, I don't really know who Who are those
Speaker 1: people that are on there? I can say that every time.
Speaker 3: Well that's a deep V but.
Speaker 1: Still wearing the early two thousand. That's Monica mcnut. She's
Speaker 1: pretty good on on television. But I didn't know who
Speaker 1: that other guy was. All Right, what's up?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Let's see. Let's go into the Sunday night game Rams
Speaker 1: at Lions rematch of the playoff game. Matthew Stafford heading
Speaker 1: back to Detroit again. The Lions are a three and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. M part of me wants to
Speaker 1: pick the Rams as an upset. I was leaning that way.
Speaker 1: If you want to do it, I'm in.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's take Rams like. Let's take Rams covering the three
Speaker 1: and a half. Stafford's going to bring his best stuff
Speaker 1: to think everyone's gonna bet on the Lions. Let's take
Speaker 1: the Rams. I like it. Are you worried that? Uh?
Speaker 1: Didn't Aaron Donald retire? They got the defense. Now he
Speaker 1: did retire. He did retire. Yeah, will have a big impact.
Speaker 3: Okay, do you know who Pooka Nikola is? Of course
Speaker 3: that's the guy that matting on.
Speaker 1: The He went to you. He had a huge Like
Speaker 1: didn't he like break the record for yeah host the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's like a fifth or sixth round pick and was
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. I think
Speaker 1: he's Cooper cuts banged up though. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: playing week he's questionable. Yeah, playing week one. That's all right.
Speaker 1: We're still taking them to cover. To do me a favorite.
Speaker 1: Keep up with the injury reports. Please, if you're gonna,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do the show, we we are here
Speaker 1: for information. Rob Haven's staff also questionable. Get the rooms.
Speaker 1: Who is that? Is he their accountant starting right tackle?
Speaker 3: Like you said account NFL?
Speaker 1: I like Rob haven staff, Like they're both questionable. Rob
Speaker 1: he protects that right side man. What they lose. Also,
Speaker 1: Danny Duckworth, someone else needs to be protect Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: playing for the Jets didn't go to season right PTI
Speaker 1: here just on the right. It just says Booger Booger's
Speaker 1: coming up, Booger McFarlane. He could be talking about the
Speaker 1: Jets and forty nine Ers are Monday Night game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Rogers playing a little bit of his didn' he grow
Speaker 1: up a forty nine Ers fan. I think he usually
Speaker 1: doesn't play very well against them. Forty nine Ers are
Speaker 1: a four and a half point favorite with Rogers going
Speaker 1: where is the game? San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Rogers is gonna be scared of San Francisco. He's gonna
Speaker 2: have watched Fox News and they're gonna say the homeless
Speaker 2: have taken over San Francisco, and he's gonna start ranting
Speaker 2: about tech billionaires. He's gonna say that he gets COVID
Speaker 2: if he walks into the the city of San Francisco
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers don't work. So I'm taking San Francisco
Speaker 2: to cover the four and a half because Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: is going to be scared. I think Aaron Rodgers makes
Speaker 2: twice as many plays as he did last year. He
Speaker 2: plays six plays in this game before he gets hurt, you.
Speaker 1: Know, like the Eagles. I'm worried about Aaron Rodgers leaving
Speaker 1: his room for this one. I'll take the Jets to
Speaker 1: cover He'll be like, Oh, there's zombies walking the streets
Speaker 1: of San Francisco. I'll take the Jets to cover uh.
Speaker 1: For no other reason than I'm just gonna believe in
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers after last season went crazy. I know he's
Speaker 1: getting old. That's a tough injury to come back from,
Speaker 1: but I think he's got one more run in him,
Speaker 1: throwing to Garrett Wilson and everybody. So I'll have him
Speaker 1: keeping it close here in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Their coach like, if he doesn't, if they don't succeed
Speaker 2: this year, did they blame Aaron Rodgers or do they
Speaker 2: blame that coach?
Speaker 1: What's his name? Roberts to Robert, I love Tony Meola.
Speaker 1: I had his jersey. Oh yeah, huge Tony Mila fan
Speaker 1: we used in the backyard pretend we were different athletes,
Speaker 1: and I've been the goal and pretend to be Tony.
Speaker 1: Do you know who?
Speaker 2: When we were kids, the only soccer players anyone knew
Speaker 2: in America was Pele and Tony Meola.
Speaker 1: And Alexi Lallace and Alexi Lawless. But Miola was even
Speaker 1: before Alexi Lawas. Miola was like when they finally told
Speaker 1: kids they needed to play a yso soccer Tony Miola
Speaker 1: was he our goalie? Yeah, so American? He was an American,
Speaker 1: of course. I mean we didn't act like there were
Speaker 1: players for the rest of the world. It was only America,
Speaker 1: and every kid knew Tony Meola, and then Alexi Lawless
Speaker 1: after that, another guy who's scared of COVID and like
Speaker 1: his cre gone away. He's Tony Miola was the first
Speaker 1: athlete with a ponytail that I really admire. Kobe Jones.
Speaker 1: He was if we're listing soccer players, I knew first.
Speaker 1: Kobe Jones is third after Alexi Lawis and Tony Miola.
Speaker 2: Kobe Jones, what was that? I feel like there were
Speaker 2: three guys on that team that were kind of the guys.
Speaker 2: It was Ilala's Kobe Jones.
Speaker 1: What was the other one? This was when we d no,
Speaker 1: he's a little later. He might have been on the
Speaker 1: team we hosted the World Cup.
Speaker 2: Bring Up Billy, the nineteen ninety four American World Cup team. Okay,
Speaker 2: because we hosted the World Cup, so they let us
Speaker 2: play in it for like the first time in forty years.
Speaker 1: We had awesome uniforms and all they were great.
Speaker 2: They were like they were the kind of things people
Speaker 2: wear in the lake in the summer with their Trump flag. No,
Speaker 2: that's what they looked like, did they? They were like Gaudie.
Speaker 1: Are you thinking of Eric Ronaldo, Eric Ganalda, Yes, Eric
Speaker 1: Wanaldo was one of them. Looking at the roster here,
Speaker 1: Raina was on there, Raina was on there.
Speaker 3: Okay, Ernie Stewart.
Speaker 1: I don't remember Ernie Steward. He was a black guy. Yes,
Speaker 1: I remember Ernie Stewart.
Speaker 3: Claudio Raina, that's what he just said. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: Michael Sober, Kobe Jones, tab Ramos.
Speaker 1: Tab Ramos, that's another name I remember, Yes.
Speaker 3: You Goo Perez, John Harks, Roy Wergley.
Speaker 1: I can't No, that's Joe Max Moore. Jim was a
Speaker 1: guy named Joe Max.
Speaker 3: Joe Max Moore.
Speaker 1: Should have been more popular. Well, how did we get
Speaker 1: on this Jets forty nine? Oh? The Jets coach Robert Stivers.
Speaker 1: I think this is a cue for us to go
Speaker 1: ahead connected. I think the Monday Night Games on woman
Speaker 1: disagreed on. So we'll get all the picks.
Speaker 2: Okay, so do one more, just so it's an even number.
Speaker 2: Pick another one. How about let's do Raiders chargers, because
Speaker 2: that's gonna be U. That's the Tony Roman No, no Cowboys, Browns.
Speaker 2: It's Tom Brady's first game.
Speaker 1: Browns are two and a half point favorite games in Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Tom can't criticize the refs. What did you see the
Speaker 3: stuff about Tom Brady not be able to criticize the refs?
Speaker 1: What do you mean he can't criticize.
Speaker 3: Because he is trying to become an owner of the Raiders.
Speaker 3: He cannot criticize the officials.
Speaker 1: Where'd you hear that?
Speaker 3: It was on ESPN? Your colleague, what's the former safety's name? Clark?
Speaker 3: Ryan Clark talked about.
Speaker 1: Brian Clark said he's not allowed to criticize.
Speaker 3: The integrity of Tom Brady as being his question.
Speaker 1: No, well, I did read that because he is a
Speaker 1: part owner of the Raiders, he can't. Yeah, he's not
Speaker 1: allowed to sit in with the coaches, correct and stuff
Speaker 1: before the game, right, isn't that the rule? Like he's
Speaker 1: not allowed to do the pre the pre meeting. That
Speaker 1: would make sense there. Billy's not wrong. There was something
Speaker 1: about criticizing refs. That's also he's really not allowed to
Speaker 1: criticize the ref during the broadcast.
Speaker 3: He will not be able to criticize refs and then,
Speaker 3: like you said, he can't be in the pre production
Speaker 3: meetings with Fox.
Speaker 2: Let me see this, because that would seem to be like,
Speaker 2: how can he do his job if he can't criticize
Speaker 2: the refs?
Speaker 1: The title of this is can Tom Brady do his job?
Speaker 1: I think that's what people are asking. Yeah, so they
Speaker 1: snuffle announcing wrote Tom Brady's Raiders ownership means he can't
Speaker 1: do his job. It's talking about it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So NFL places restrictions. Let's see here, h Brady
Speaker 2: is not permitted to attend in person or online broadcast meetings.
Speaker 2: He must also abide by the Leak Constitution and by
Speaker 2: laws that prohibit public criticism of officials. Uh and other clubs.
Speaker 1: Wow, I think it's even the other teams is harder.
Speaker 1: What if they have a terrible play and he's the
Speaker 1: analyst and he can't be like, well that was terrible,
Speaker 1: Like you can't let him do that? How is he
Speaker 1: gonna not criticize the refs? So does that mean when
Speaker 1: they make a bad call he just has to go
Speaker 1: that's a great call. Yeah, he's in the analyst seat.
Speaker 1: That's they're supposed to be doing. That that's actually infuriating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why do people want him so much? Is he interesting?
Speaker 3: I mean he knows the game, so he'll be able
Speaker 3: to talk about it people.
Speaker 1: I hope he and Romo don't get into contest where
Speaker 1: they're just trying to name plays before this snaw. Now,
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen was really good, wasn't he? Yes? Oh, very good?
Speaker 1: So why would they put him to the side.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about the best announcers, who
Speaker 2: do you think are the best announcers? John Madden out well,
Speaker 2: I mean he's a color announcers John Madden, Greg Olsen,
Speaker 2: Chris collins.
Speaker 1: Worthman, I don't think's great. He's fine, But if you
Speaker 1: look at the guys that are best, they're all good players,
Speaker 1: but they weren't like people didn't you know superstar? Well
Speaker 1: they were, they were really good, but they weren't like
Speaker 1: the marquee people.
Speaker 2: Right. So, Olsen, collins Worth and Madden I think are
Speaker 2: all Hall of famers as a player, but they weren't
Speaker 2: the best. Why do they think you have to get
Speaker 2: the best guy to be the announcer? Those are not
Speaker 2: the same skill sets.
Speaker 1: They paid him a lot of money before he'd even
Speaker 1: attempted it.
Speaker 3: So do you think anybody would tune in to listen
Speaker 3: to Tom?
Speaker 1: I mean they'll do it for like one game and
Speaker 1: then they'll eventually he's gonna have to be good. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be good. I mean, who would you
Speaker 1: watch more calling games? Charles Barkley or Michael Jordan Arles Barkley.
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley because he's better. Are you gonna watch Charles Barkley?
Speaker 1: You're gonna watch Lebron James Barkley Barkley. So why not
Speaker 1: have Greg Olsen instead of Tom Brady? I just think
Speaker 1: this is really weird that he can't even criticize the
Speaker 1: other team. Also, but what's he allowed to say? You know,
Speaker 1: only just say and we'll go to Mike Pereira.
Speaker 3: That'll tell us what he thinks.
Speaker 1: Mike Preira is getting a big boost. What do you
Speaker 1: think about that play? Well, I can't comment on either
Speaker 1: team's performance or the officials call back to you.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be the worst, that's a first of all. Also,
Speaker 2: I guess he doesn't want to do it, but wouldn't
Speaker 2: the obvious, I mean, Peyton Manning.
Speaker 3: Would be he'd be well that he does the simulcast, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's good. But he would be the best
Speaker 1: at it, right. Oh yeah, they're great on that, but
Speaker 1: they also have that set up the only to a
Speaker 1: few years. They're on their own time and schedule.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Peyton, I think I read Peyton Manning. We think
Speaker 2: we may have talked about this on this show.
Speaker 1: We did on something. He does it like it is
Speaker 1: buddy's garage. Did you know that?
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 1: He convinced his buddy to let him use his garage
Speaker 1: to set up the studio because he didn't want it
Speaker 1: in his house. Do you random people around?
Speaker 2: It feels like that that kind of thing I could
Speaker 2: convince Ryan to do. Right, I want to do a
Speaker 2: TV show, don't really want to put it in my house.
Speaker 2: Give me just put it in yours pool and he'd go,
Speaker 2: all right, that's what Peyton Manning did.
Speaker 3: Do you think he's using his cell phone like you
Speaker 3: did for the ESPN Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If people only knew how little production value you
Speaker 1: can have and go on ESPN. So that's how technology
Speaker 1: has changed. It is. Well, first of all, that was
Speaker 1: very informative.
Speaker 3: You guys got to pick boys or browns.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we just franded. I'm taking the Cowboys. They're
Speaker 1: two and a half point favorite or dog. Uh, either way,
Speaker 1: I'm taking them. I'll take that. Then definitely give me
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That's my uh nfl uh two star lock.
Speaker 1: We'll agree on that one too, now that they got
Speaker 1: CD some money. Yeah, I like the con Remember I
Speaker 1: remember what the Cowboys is.
Speaker 2: While they stink in the playoffs, they've won like twelve, twelve,
Speaker 2: twelve and twelve games in a row. Like I think
Speaker 2: they've won twelve the last four years in the regular.
Speaker 1: Season and then they stink in the playoffs. But this
Speaker 1: is a regular season game, yep. So I'll take the Cowboys. Billy,
Speaker 1: get rid of your friends.
Speaker 3: I'll work on it.
