16
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: the HiT's the size of the fight in the dog.

17
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast. This is

18
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: your Wednesday group of five deep dive for college football

19
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Week two, covering anything of college football's most entertaining conferences.

20
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 3: I am Mike Calibrey's I'm joined by The Action Network's

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: Mike Ianello. But before we get into you know, tooting

22
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: our own horn, I'm not sure if you're aware, but

23
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: we went eleven to zero last week as a podcast.

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 3: Before we get into all of that, we are joined

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: by one of the greatest college football reporters on planet

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: Earth aka Sources himself. Of course, I'm referring to Brett McMurphy.

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: He recently broke a very juicy story about the Big

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: twelve expansion and how they are potentially going to break up.

29
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: Has become some would say the six best conference, the

30
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: G six. Talking about the AAC, they have some targets

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: that they're looking to pull into the Big twelve making

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: sure that they survive this expansion musical chairs. So Brett,

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: thank you so much for joining us. Please let's get

34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: into the meat and potatoes of this juicy story.

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: Thanks Mike and Mike. I'm just I'm glad to be

36
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: on here. I'm honored. You know. Look, you guys were

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: eleven and oh that's incredible. You know the Saturday Little

38
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: Saturday Show, I do Blistuckey and Colin. One guy on

39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 5: the show last week went six and oh, I don't

40
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 5: want to say who his name is, but his initials

41
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 5: were Brett McMurphy. So congrats being part of the undefeated club.

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 5: But as far as the what's going to happen to

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 5: the American you know, as I report and others have

44
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 5: also reported, Cincinnati, BYU, UCF, and Houston are headed to

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: the Big Twelve. Initially I was told this could happen

46
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 5: by the end of the month. That was a couple

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: of weeks ago. Now it is ramped up. They could

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 5: receive their official invitations as soon as Friday, and then

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: the question is after that, how soon can they get

50
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 5: in the conference. I was told from sources that actually

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: BYU could join the league as soon as next year.

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: Because they're an independent, they don't have to worry about

53
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: getting out of a conference. Obviously, football wise, for the

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: other schools in the American they have to provide twenty

55
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 5: seven months noticed, they have to pay a ten million

56
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 5: dollar exit fee. Obviously those things can be negotiated. I

57
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 5: think what most Big Twelve folks want to happen is

58
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 5: to have all four on board for the twenty twenty

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: three season. So yes, that means they would actually get

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: to play two seasons with OU and Texas in the

61
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 5: Big Twelve. Certainly that would increase their METEA rights and

62
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 5: their TV rights. So with that happening, what happens to

63
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: the American. Look, there's going to be more dominoes. Anytime

64
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: there's a move at the top. Whether it's like the SEC,

65
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: it filters all the way down. The American has a

66
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: decision to make. They're going to be left with eight members.

67
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: They have to decide do they want to go to

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 5: ten or do they want to go to twelve. They

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: have not had any official discuss and jet among the

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: league members on what they want to do. Sources within

71
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: the league though, told me that it's more likely they

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: go to twelve. Who are they going to add? Well,

73
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 5: you could make it. There's not a right or wrong answer.

74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: It's what their philosophy is. Do you want to grab

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 5: the best football teams out there? Certainly Boise would be

76
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: on that list. UAB after that, you know, it's kind

77
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 5: of a hodgepodge. Do you want to go further west?

78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 5: Do you want to go to UNLV because the Vegas market.

79
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 5: Do you want to go all the way out to

80
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 5: San Diego State they're going to have a new stadium.

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 5: Colorado State, you know, has had their ups and downs.

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: You know, a little bit closer to the east coast,

83
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 5: you've got Marshall. Do you want to add Florida Atlantic,

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: Do you want to still have two teams in the

85
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: state of Florida, or do you take a chance on

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: an up and up and comer like Coastal Carolina app state,

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 5: or do you take a big long shot on liberty?

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 5: Liberty has been unbelievable the past few years. How good

89
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: are they going to be once Hugh Freeze leaves. That's

90
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: certainly a decision they have to make, and certainly I

91
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 5: think some a decision they'll want to make fairly quickly,

92
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 5: probably not next week or next month, but I think

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 5: by the end of this football season they'll have an

94
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 5: idea who exactly they want to add.

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: Certainly, the PAC twelve in this extended conversations about how

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 3: teams are going to form alliances or potentially expand, the

97
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 3: PAC twelve is stuck to their guns in that at

98
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: the academic stature, whether they're AAU you know, universities or colleges,

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: or you know, geographically that it makes sense. It seems

100
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: as though they have more sticking points than some of

101
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: these other conferences who are really in survival mode. Is

102
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: there any implications on the AAC side that are deal breakers,

103
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: whether they're academics, whether they're TV market ramifications or maybe

104
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: even facilities getting done specifics like that. Have you noted

105
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: anything like that coming out of the AC right now.

106
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question.

107
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 5: And I think every league to an extent, they've had

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: these requirements in the past when you expanded and did

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: different things. But it's certainly with the Big Twelve all

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 5: those things got thrown out the window because at this

111
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 5: point you're looking to survive, so you went and grabbed

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 5: the four best football products that you could, and that's

113
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 5: why they invited those four to come into the league.

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 5: I think the American is going to do the same. Certainly,

115
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: they prefer great academics, they prefer big TV markets, they

116
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: prefer all the you know, the usual suspects as far

117
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: as requirements coming in. But again, if I was commissioner,

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 5: if I was commissioner of the American, or if I

119
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: was commissioner of the Mountain West, what I would do

120
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 5: right now is I would try to pillage the other

121
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: conference because now there's going to be a real battle

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: who's going to be the strongest of the remaining non

123
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 5: Power five conferences. And I don't think it's clear cut

124
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 5: it's the Mountain West. I don't think it's clear cut.

125
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 5: It's the American. You know, you can make an argument

126
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 5: the top team and the Sun Belt may be as

127
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 5: good as anybody else. So I would go on the

128
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 5: offensive if I was the commissioner of either one of

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 5: those leagues. The advantage for the American is their TV

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: deal right now is better than the Mountain West. Obviously

131
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: that will change with new members, so they've got a

132
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: little bit of a head start. If you will, they

133
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: would be more attractive. But if I'm the American, how

134
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 5: do I survive? I go get the best team out

135
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 5: of the Mountain West Boise State. I don't know if

136
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 5: they want to come, but you certainly make that call.

137
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: I go get UAB, who has been unbelievable in Conference USA.

138
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: They just have a brand new stadium. I take a

139
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: look at Coastal, you know in Florida. Atlantic gives you

140
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: another presence in Florida. What I think doesn't necessarily mean

141
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 5: what the American is going to do. And again, the

142
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: thing that makes this difficult to predict is there's no

143
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 5: right or wrong answers. It's a beauty contest, and what

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 5: the conference thinks is the best four editions. You and

145
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 5: I may not agree with who we would have picked

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: if we were in charge.

147
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I have a question. You know, we've talked

148
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 6: a lot about TV ramifications for this is do you

149
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: see a scenario down the road where the remaining group

150
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 6: of five conferences, you know, kind of either form an

151
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: alliance or even is there a chance they combine to

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 6: kind of be one super league, whether it's you know,

153
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 6: on the field or even just from from a TV

154
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 6: rights package. Because you got to think if if you know,

155
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 6: the Sun Belt in the mac in the Mountain wet

156
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 6: all kind of sold their media rights as one package

157
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 6: that would increase the value for all of them. So

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 6: do you think that's something that kind of happens down

159
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 6: the road.

160
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they have to think outside the box.

161
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 5: And I you know, I wrote this article probably four

162
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 5: or five years ago and was LAMB based, but I said, look,

163
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 5: the Power five, the gap between the Power five and

164
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 5: then Group of five just continues to increase. At some

165
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 5: point they're going to break away in some fashion. Well

166
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 5: they still play the Group of five, they say they will,

167
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: but that's to be seen. I think the Group of

168
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 5: five should establish their own playoffs and kind of some

169
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: of the similar suggestions you had. The problem is is,

170
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 5: for instance, right now, the American is gets the most

171
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: money for TV rights than the other leagues. So if

172
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: they combined with the other group of five leagues Mountain West,

173
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: Sun Belt MAC, Conference USA, that means the American teams

174
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: will be making less money because they're bringing in lesser product.

175
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 5: If that makes sense. Now, if you're in Conference USA,

176
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 5: would you join forces with the American Absolutely, because your

177
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: revenue is going to go up. That's the big challenge

178
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: with all of college athletics is every conference does what's

179
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 5: best for their specific conference. And I understand why if

180
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: you're at the SEC you want to add to you

181
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: in Texas because that's going to help your conference. And

182
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: people say, well, it's going to ruin college football the

183
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 5: Dominoes and look at that. But bottom line is you've

184
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: got to do what's best for your conference, what your

185
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 5: fourteenth presidents tell you to do, want you to do.

186
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 5: And every conference works in a sylo but's just knowing

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: how this has worked in the past few years. You

188
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 5: got to know, you guys may be too young to

189
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 5: remember the glory days of the Whack may at rest

190
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: in peace, but that used to be a viable conference.

191
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 5: They're the first conference that had sixteen teams. I mean

192
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 5: they spread from Hawaii to China. I think they were

193
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: all over the map. Ultimately, they couldn't succeed because they

194
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: were too far spread out. They didn't make enough money

195
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 5: except for excepter. But what you brought up is a

196
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: POSSI certainly all of these conferences are going to look

197
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 5: at something, but ultimately I'm afraid they're just looking out

198
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 5: for themselves, and it's probably unlikely that that would happen,

199
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 5: although I think they should consider every possibility under the sun.

200
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: One final question for you, and maybe we'll gather around

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: the campfire and you'll tell us the old stories of

202
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: the Southwest Conference and how all these teams in Texas

203
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: used to play. I've only heard the urban legends. Are

204
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: there any potential scenarios in which single team sports are offered,

205
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: so Notre Dame playing basketball in the ACC, but they

206
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: maintain their independence for football. That maybe make it easier

207
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: on the member institutions by saying, you don't need to

208
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: fly your women's tennis team to Las Vegas, you know

209
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: two times a year. We're just going to add them

210
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: for football have you heard anything like that.

211
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real possibility.

212
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I do know that was a consideration with

213
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: BYU initially, but BYU will be an all sport member

214
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 5: in the Big Twelve. But you're right, I mean, look

215
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 5: everything I've been told this by multiple people.

216
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: Everything's on the table.

217
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: Examples you gave, whether it's Gonzaga basketball only, the Pac twelve,

218
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: Coastal football only to the American or whatever. If those

219
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 5: schools are desperate enough to get into that league and

220
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 5: they can make it work, they'll do it. One thing

221
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 5: that I think if the conference is spread out across

222
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: the country that has been suggested is instead of all

223
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: the Olympic sports having to travel back and forth, you know,

224
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: for weekly matches, volleyball matches, basketball, et cetera, you just

225
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: basically have the Olympic sports just play teams in their

226
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: region of the country for conference play and then they

227
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 5: basically won't play everybody until you get to a conference championship.

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: So that could cut down on the travel for the

229
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: non football sports.

230
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know, look, if Liberty had a shot

231
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 5: to join the Americans Football only, I guarantee.

232
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: You they do it.

233
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 5: Will they get that offer, We'll have to see. But

234
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 5: that's some of the discussions that these guys are thinking about.

235
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 5: And you know, all the points you brought up is

236
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 5: what's being discussed right now among commissioners, among ads, and

237
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 5: it's just getting everybody in the room and trying to

238
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 5: figure out what's the best way to go.

239
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: But as crazy as.

240
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: Some of these scenario sound, those are the possibilities that

241
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: could happen. And thanks for bringing up the Southwest conference.

242
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 5: I grew up watching the Big Eight. Yes, I'm old.

243
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: We'll sit around the campfire and I'll put you to

244
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 5: sleep with my.

245

Speaker 2: Old war stories.

246
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us. Brett. Hopefully the

247
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,640

Speaker 3: be a part of the elite fraternity that is Big

285
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,800

Speaker 3: oh our round robin cock that gun we fired, We

287
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,479
Speaker 3: hit the target five and oh, our underdog Parlay utsa

288
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: cashing Nevada digs a fourteen nothing hole, no problem. Carson

289
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: so strong bails us out, cashes that one too. The

290
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: only thing I want to get into really, you know,

291
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: we can put this in the rear view because, as

292
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: our producer Matt likes to say, got to say humble,

293
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: got to keep grinding, and we're only as good as

294
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: our weekly record that's in the past. Lovin and oh

295
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: was great. I still feel great about it. Going to

296
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: give us some positive momentum. But people came here to

297
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: listen to us give picks this week. But I'm going

298
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: to say one more thing, and this is for Sean Lewis,

299
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: the head coach, of Kent State. I am reminded in

300
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: the closing minutes of that game, as he was trying

301
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: to score a meaningless field goal, not once, but twice,

302
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: I was reminded of Vince Vaughn's you know, I would

303
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: say acting debut, really his cameo in the movie Rudy

304
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: Matt just go ahead and play that footage. That's a problem.

305
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: What's your problem?

306
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: What's your problems?

307
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: All things? At the Super Bowl, he was coaching like

308
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: it was the Super Bowl. He was coaching like his

309
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: kids were tied up by kidnappers, and if he did

310
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: not score a field goal on that final drive, he

311
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: was going to have to wave goodbye to his family.

312
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: That is how insane the play calling and time management

313
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: was to not go for a touchdown but to trot

314
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: out their kicker on multiple occasions. And as you know

315
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: listeners of this show can attest when we talk about

316
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: the group of five, when we talk about gambling, we

317
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: want to get into the positive, the good beats, and

318
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: in this case, missing two field goals inside of thirty

319
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: yards in the final minutes was a good beat. So

320
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: our good guy, good beat Hero of the Week is

321
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: Andrew Glass, the freshman kicker five 't ten, one hundred

322
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: and sixty pounds stopping wet hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia.

323
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: This is for you, Andrew Glass. You're going to go

324
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: into great things in your college career. The only thing

325
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: I would recommend is maybe changing your number kicker number sixty.

326
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: As soon as he trotted out in the field, I

327
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: have a feeling that we may have a chance to

328
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: maintain the spread of minus twenty nine and a half,

329
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: and he was. He was there to prove us, correct

330
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: hooking one and banking one off the post. What were

331
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: your thoughts in the closing minutes panel because I know

332
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: we were sweating that big time, so I.

333
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 6: Don't want to sit here and say I told you so.

334
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 6: But when you gave out that dext day an MPI,

335
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 6: what did I say? I said, I don't know. That

336
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 6: makes me nervous because Sean Lewis coaches like he's only

337
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: trying to cover the spread and that paid out. Dah,

338
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 6: that's what he was doing. So you got like, yeah,

339
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 6: that kicker, like you said, he was the hero, The

340
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 6: ten state kicker was the hero. He missed those two

341
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 6: kicks and gave us the perfect week. For me, I'm

342
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 6: going to go for my hero of the week, another

343
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 6: person that we gave out on the show. I'm gonna

344
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 6: go with Charlotte quarterback Chris Reynolds. Chris Reynolds is a

345
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: former walk on for Charlotte and he helped lead Charlotte

346
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 6: to a thirty one to twenty nine win as six

347
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: point underdogs for the first ever win against the Power

348
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 6: five school for the Fighting forty nine ers. He was

349
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 6: so close. He was through three hundred twenty four yards

350
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: and three touchdowns, final two drives nine ten, one hundred

351
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 6: sixty one two tds, go ahead score with thirty three

352
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 6: seconds left, and a secondary shout out to Grant Dubo's

353
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 6: who caught the game winning touchdown. This is a dude

354
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 6: that was literally working at Walmart last football season. He

355
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 6: did not play college football in twenty twenty, he was

356
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 6: working at Walmart. He made the Charlotte team on an

357
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 6: open tryout and caught the game winning score to give

358
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 6: them their upset win over Duke Clublet was rockin' in Charlotte.

359
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: Go Niners, speaking of bandwagons that were rocking the Bailey

360
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 3: Zappie bandwagon Daily Zappi. He justified all the hype we

361
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: must have talked him up, you know, on this podcast,

362
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 3: and then just between the two of us for the

363
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, he was always being mentioned in

364
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: the G five Breakout Superstar department. And his very first drive,

365
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 3: he throws an interception and my phone was lightened up.

366
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 3: People were ready to call me out for, you know,

367
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: getting too hyped up over a Houston Baptist quarterback of

368
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: all people. And then he went ahead and through for

369
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: four and two yards, seven touchdowns. They go over the

370
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: team total. They cover the number against U. T. Martin

371
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: this week. I'm going to stay away. They're going to

372
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: West Point and they're seven point underdog in that game.

373
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: Army coming off just a massacre against Georgia State. Georgia State,

374
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 3: who I will get into later was playing without a

375
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: few players who were in the COVID protocol kind of murkiness,

376
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: but they got lit up in that game. I think

377
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: Army it's going to be a contrast of styles obviously,

378
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: between an air raid offense and then what Army likes

379
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: to do with the triple option. But I do not

380
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 3: want to miss an opportunity to get Bailey's appy is

381
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: proper due, all right, As I mentioned we got to

382
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: get to picks. It's about being prolific on a week

383
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: to week basis. I'm going to start with a game

384
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: that I'm excited about because it is so far down

385
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: the bottom of the board it probably hasn't popped up

386
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 3: on your sports book yet. Baylor minus forty seven and

387
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: a half against Texas Southern. Here's always my philosophy on

388
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: FCS schools. I think it's human nature to lump all

389
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: FCS schools together much in that way. You know, playing

390
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: NTA Football ninety nine back in your high school days

391
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: or however old you are, you see that FCS West

392
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: team and it just it doesn't matter. This is an

393
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: automatic win, opportunity to get to your backups in. But

394
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: here's the thing. You saw how well FCS schools performed

395
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: last week, winning multiple games outright. Look at it, Montana

396
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: taking on Washington and handing the Huskies andel. There's some

397
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: teams though, that are FCS in name only Montana, if

398
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: they played at the FBS level, would probably be a

399
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: ball team. And then there's FCS teams that are absolutely

400
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: the bottom of the barrel. And I'm talking about Texas Southern.

401
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: They are in the bottom ten of the ratings which

402
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: combine both levels of football. They just lost by twenty

403
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: three points to Prairie View A and M at home.

404
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: And when you look at Texas Southern across the last

405
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: two and a half seasons, they've given up forty points

406
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: or more and eight of their last fourteen games. The

407
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: team stinks. And when I look at what Baylor accomplished

408
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: against Texas State, which don't worry, I will bring up

409
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: my Texas State mini bette helmet win with that back

410
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: door cover. But I loved what I saw from David

411
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: Randa's defense. Three interceptions, including a pick six, they cash

412
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: in a safety at the buzzer, and also the run

413
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: game went for two hundred and forty five yards, which

414
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 3: really eased them into the Jerry Bohannon era. I think

415
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: the offense is going to get right in this spot

416
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: against a toothless Texas Southern defense, and the forty seven

417
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: and a half does not bother me. Remember this is

418
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: a Baylor team that historically loves to schedule these these

419
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 3: cream puffs in September, and they usually roll over them easily,

420
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: So forty seven and a half is not too daunting

421
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 3: for me. All right, what's your first pick here for

422
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 3: best bets of the week.

423
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 6: My best bet, I'm going to go with one. I

424
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 6: know you liked this as well. I'm gonna go with

425
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 6: Wyoming minus seven against Northern Illinois. Obviously, if you can

426
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 6: get it inside that touchdown even better. I like it

427
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 6: at seven. I'm pretty downinus Northern Illinois team. You know,

428
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 6: I bet their win total under. And yeah, they came

429
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 6: away with an Austin win against Georgia Tech twenty two

430
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 6: to twenty one last week, but that was one of

431
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 6: those misleading box scores. You know, Georgia Tech's quarterback got

432
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 6: hurt super early on and Georgia Tech outgained them four

433
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty nine to three hundred and one. You know,

434
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech ran all over them. They had two hundred

435
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 6: seventy three yards average five point three per Kerry. The

436
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 6: biggest difference was Northern Illinois lived in that backfield. They

437
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 6: had four sacks, four quarterback corries, six tackles for loss.

438
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 6: You know, the Northern Illinois offense had all day to throw.

439
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 6: Rocky Lombardi was just sitting back there. He was eleven

440
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 6: for seventeen. I don't think the Rockelmbardy is good, So

441
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 6: you know, I don't think he'll be able to do

442
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 6: that against this Wyoming defense. That yeah, you know, they

443
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 6: kind of did sleepwalk against Montana State, so I expect

444
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 6: that to kind of be a little bit of a

445
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 6: wake up cap. This defense was sixteenth in the country

446
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 6: last year and they returned their top fifteen tacklers, So

447
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 6: I expect a much better performance from the Wyoming defense

448
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 6: than Northern Illinois faced against the Georgia Tech defense. And

449
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 6: like I said, they really just lived in the backfield.

450
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 6: But this Wyoming team bring springs back all five offensive linemen,

451
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 6: they have all Mountain West running back Xavian Volliday, so

452
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 6: I just think they'll be able to run it all

453
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 6: over him. And I think, you know, Wyoming kind of

454
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 6: slept walk and they're gonna have a bounce back. And

455
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 6: I'll lay the seven with Wyoming.

456
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: I absolutely agree with you on that game. It was

457
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 3: also a comeback game for Sean Chambers. The guys it

458
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: has been snake bit with injuries throughout his career, so

459
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: you had to assume there was going to be rust

460
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 3: in a spot like that. And then one final you know,

461
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: shout out to Craig Bowle and what he's accomplished in Laramie.

462
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: This was a downtrodden program when he showed up in

463
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, and really since twenty sixteen when he got

464
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: a moving in the right direction, this has been a

465
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: top twenty program against the spread nationally. And when you

466
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: talk about public teams versus non public teams, they are

467
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 3: certainly not that sexy, you know team that everyone's racing

468
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: to the betting window to throw down some money on.

469
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: So I'm with you there as soon as it dipped

470
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: below that touchdown. And I really like them, you know,

471
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 3: whether it's seven, seven and a half eight, I like them,

472
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: but certainly at six and a half, getting that hook

473
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: in your favor, I like the pokes there. All right,

474
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to go ahead and throw out which arguably

475
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: could be the best Group of five game. You know,

476
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: liberally speaking, we're going to lump in the Liberty flames

477
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 3: with the G five, even though they're maintaining their independence.

478
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: You know, Liberty is the same dynamic offense that we

479
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 3: saw last year. Willison josh Joshua Mack can really run

480
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: the ball. I was impressed with tomorrow Mario Douglas, who

481
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 3: was you know, a contributor last year, but certainly he's

482
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 3: now a focal point. He's just this jitterbug that they

483
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: used in the slot. They use him in motion, he's

484
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 3: in the return game. He's dynamic, and I think, you know,

485
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 3: I know exactly what I'm getting from Liberty in this game.

486
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 3: And with a total set at sixty one, I figure

487
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 3: they're going to get close to forty points in this game.

488
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: So the question is can Troy do the heavy lifting

489
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: on their part to push this over, you know, the

490
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: closing total? I think they can. Troy settles on Taylor Palell,

491
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: who ends up as one of the top performers nationally,

492
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: whether really any metric you look at, I'll just cherry

493
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: pick total QBR. I think he was at eighty nine

494
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: points six, so almost coming in at ninety. And then

495
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: their running game with Vidal and BJ Smith is a

496
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: great one two punch, and really that's the way to

497
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: crack the Liberty defense. This was a quality run defense

498
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 3: last year. They brought back so many starters. If they

499
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 3: can give them some offensive balance, go north of one

500
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: hundred yards as a team rushing, I think Troy is

501
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 3: going to be able to score three touchdowns or more

502
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: in this spot, and this is an electric home crowd.

503
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: I think this is a proud football program that's been

504
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: waiting for their team to live up to expectations, and

505
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: last year they were close. They gave Coastal Carolina a

506
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 3: great game. I think you're gonna see a great effort

507
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: here in what should be a shootout. Last week for

508
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: our listeners, we did our round robin, our five picks

509
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: altogether that hit. We did our parlay of underdogs this week.

510
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, it was tough mining the underdogs.

511
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: Do you even have one this week that I could

512
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: pair up with my pick? And if not, no shame

513
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: in the game, because honestly, there's so many FCS games

514
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 3: and huge point spreads for these G five teams that

515
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 3: it was difficult to narrow in on those teams inside

516
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: of a touchdown that really present a lot of value

517
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: as an underdog to win out right.

518
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 6: I'm going with Troy. We just talked about it. I'm

519
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 6: taking Troy at plus one sixty as my underdog pick

520
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 6: of the week. Troy was a feisty team last year.

521
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 6: They impressed me a lot at times, and I love

522
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 6: the move. Going with Taylor Powell. You know, he spent

523
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 6: three years at Missouri, he saw action in twelve games.

524
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 6: His one career start coming into this was at number

525
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 6: four Georgia, So he's not going to be intimidated, you know,

526
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 6: playing these G five schools. And he opted out of

527
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 6: twenty twenty and he's come back and like you said,

528
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 6: he looked great week one, and I love the way

529
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 6: this Troy team. You know, they don't have any of

530
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 6: these big name guys that are going to be drafted

531
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 6: in the NFL, but they're deep. You know, ten different

532
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 6: players caught a pass week one. Like you said, you

533
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 6: mentioned Vidal and Smith. They also have Jamontes Woods is

534
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 6: another solid running back, so they have really a three

535
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 6: headed belcout running back. All three of them had at

536
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 6: least ten carries. All three of them sport a touchdown

537
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 6: week one. Their defense is pretty solid. They returned ten starters.

538
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 6: You know, Carlton Marshall is one of the best linebackers

539
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 6: in the Sun Belt. So I like this Troy team

540
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,239
Speaker 6: a lot. You know, the line right now is kind

541
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 6: of floating around five and a half four depending on

542
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 6: where you got it. I know our Action Network pro

543
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 6: projections make it three point one. So if you can

544
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 6: get them over if field goal take it. But I

545
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 6: like them a little sprinkle on the money line too,

546
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 6: So I think Troy could win this game. You know,

547
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 6: they're at home, so I'll take Troy as a little

548
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 6: home dog there.

549
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: Underdog parlay, all right, I have to match level of ambition,

550
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: So I'm going to go ahead with the G five

551
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: team upsetting an SEC team to pair together for our

552
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: group of five underdog parlay. I'm going with the ECU Pirates.

553
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: And really this is my belief in a few things.

554
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: One in Holden the Ailers. He's a guy with a

555
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: ton of experience. He's also had performances where he's really

556
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: played up to the level of competition and exploded with

557
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: four hundred plus total yards. And you've seen him do

558
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 3: it against really some of the best teams in the

559
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: AAC and also when they jump up and play those

560
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: power programs. But also last week, they played, for my money,

561
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 3: if not the best, maybe in the top three of

562
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 3: all G five teams, which is app State. App State

563
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: proved that you know, Bryce is their quarterback. They had,

564
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: you know, a complimentary passing game. Now Cameron Peoples was dynamic.

565
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: They you know, are only going to get better in

566
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: the rushing game this year. Yet despite that, they race

567
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 3: out to a big lead and ECU does what they've

568
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: done for gamblers a lot, at least in my lifetime,

569
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: which is leaving that back door open. They score the

570
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 3: final ten points of the game that they almost get

571
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: back and cover that number. And they're going up against

572
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: a South Carolina team. When you talk about a mirage

573
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: or some data that is a statistical outlier, I could

574
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 3: care less what South Carolina did in a forty six

575
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: nothing shut out of Eastern Illinois. Eastern Illinois is two

576
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: and eighteen in their last twenty games. They're an awful

577
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: FCS team. It really makes no difference to me the

578
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: sets they ran up. You know, they had a former

579
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 3: coach graduate assistant, zeb Noland as the quarterback. Now they're

580
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: probably going to play both him and Luke Dodi in

581
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: this game, and I think that's an opportunity to lose

582
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 3: a little bit of continuity and momentum with their offense.

583
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: I know that East Carolina can't stop the run, and

584
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 3: Kevin Harris has been rumored to be getting carries in

585
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 3: this game after sitting out the first game of the season.

586
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: But I don't think it's going to get much worse

587
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: than what they experienced against app State. So for those reasons,

588
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: I go ahead and take them plus one to fifteen.

589
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: You're going to want to go ahead and check win

590
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: bet for the latest odds. But when we put these

591
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: two together, that's another tasty payout, and I like the

592
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: ambition that we're showing here. Puts a cap on our

593
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: two team underdog parlay of the week coming from the

594
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: G five. The payout on that it's about plus four sixty. Obviously,

595
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: we hit it last week, so hopefully we keep the

596
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: good times rolling. We're gonna roll right into the G

597
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: five High five round robin of the week. We high

598
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: five high five last week we went five to o,

599
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: trying to keep that magic going. I won't bore our

600
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 3: listeners right out of the gate here because I also

601
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: like Wyoming minus six and a half. Everything that we

602
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: went through, I will punch home one more time. Though

603
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: they did squeak past Montana State, but their quality FCS program,

604
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: so I think that's providing at least three points of

605
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 3: value here. When you pair that with NIU's upset of

606
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, who was playing with a backup quarterback. I

607
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: like them there. I also like a team that's we

608
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: got to pour one out for Randy Etzel.

609
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: Randy Edsel is ready to go.

610
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: You know, we were ready for this entire season to

611
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: talk about Randy Etzel's really complicated contract that had a

612
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: bunch of Easter eggs in it for cash, bonuses from

613
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: like five hundred dollars, ten grand for tackles for a loss,

614
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: kicks and all this fun. And then he goes ahead

615
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: and quits on the team and he's done. This Yukon team,

616
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: I think if it could be summed up with a visual,

617
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: it was their defensive coordinator asking for everyone to put

618
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: their hands in in the fourth quarter against holy Cross

619
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: and no one putting their hands up. This team's ready

620
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: to quit. Perdue is ready to roll. Minus thirty three

621
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: and a half. It stores this Yukon team. It's white

622
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: flag time. I mean, they gave up thirty eight points

623
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: to holy Cross. Holy Cross hadn't scored that much against

624
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: an FCS team in two years. So if you're ever

625
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: looking to get right offensively, you want to face the Huskies.

626
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: You know, this Purdue team left points on the board

627
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 3: against Oregon State. They did it without a running game.

628
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: They still scored thirty holy Cross ran for two hundred

629
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: and twenty six yards last week, so I really see

630
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: Perdue having a balanced offense. They're going to be explosive

631
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: in the passing game with Plumber, you know, going to

632
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: David Bell early and often. They have a great tight

633
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: end as well. The boiler Makers do. And then when

634
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: I look at Yukon, the only positive thing I could

635
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: say before the Week zero game against Prismo State was

636
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: Kevin Mensa was really their offensive bell cow. He was

637
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: someone they could lie on. The kid's got ninety seven

638
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: yards on thirty two carries in two games. He's the

639
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: whole offense. They have no offense.

640
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 6: I like the.

641
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: Boiler Makers here. And then I'm going to give the

642
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: other three picks to Ianello this week.

643
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 6: Well, first I want to say Randy Etzel didn't quit

644
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 6: on his team. Breeze. I don't care what the score was.

645
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 6: Yu Khon had more sacks than holy Cross, so he

646
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 6: got that fat two thousand dollars bonus, and he retired

647
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 6: on an island somewhere down in Nantucket living on a boat.

648
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 6: So good for Randy Etzel, you know, he got he

649
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 6: got his last sack bonus and he said, all right,

650
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 6: I'm out.

651
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if it's going to be his boat.

652
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: I think maybe it's a commercial fisherman for Long John Silver.

653
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: But he's sneaking in, you know, some rays under the

654
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: sun and not having to sweat this potential blowout against Purdue.

655
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: All right, let's round out this G five high five

656
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: round robin of the week here with your three picks.

657
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 6: You know, you mentioned app State before. I'm not sold yet.

658
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 6: I'm going Miami minus eight. You know, obviously Miami got

659
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 6: waxed by Alabama, and I think that's kind of contributing

660
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 6: to this line a little bit. Everyone gets waxed by Ollabama.

661
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 6: Alabama probably you know, fourteen points better than any team

662
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 6: in the country. The one stat that really stood out

663
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 6: about as bad as Miami. Look, the one thing that

664
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 6: kind of really solidified this pick for me was Miami

665
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 6: managed ten tackles for loss against that Alabama offensive line,

666
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 6: which you could argue the best in college football. And

667
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 6: that's been the staple for Miami. You know, the past

668
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 6: couple of years. They were twelfth in havoc. Last year

669
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 6: they were twenty first in line yards. They get great

670
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 6: pressure on the quarterback, and that's a problem for Chase Bryce.

671
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, he looked great in Week one. He

672
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 6: was twenty for twenty seven two fifty nine, two touchdowns

673
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 6: and a pick. But when he was kept cleaning, he

674
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 6: was eighteen for twenty two. Under pressure, he completed just

675
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 6: forty percent of his passes and that was when the

676
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 6: interception came. Last year, when he was under pressure, he

677
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 6: completed just thirty seven point six percent of his passes,

678
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 6: two touchdowns, eight interceptions. When Bryce is under pressure, he

679
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: makes mistakes. And he's going to be under pressure of

680
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 6: from this Miami team all day. And you know, this

681
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 6: app State defense was really good against the pass last year.

682
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 6: But like you mentioned, you know, Holton Naylers he took

683
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 6: for two hundred ninety five yards against them. So that's

684
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 6: going to be a problem against Derek King. So I

685
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 6: think Miami, you know, they're back at home after bad

686
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 6: loss to Alabama. I think they bounced back. They just

687
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 6: saw North Carolina lose, so that you know, now they

688
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 6: have the edge in the ACC. So I like Miami

689
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 6: to bounce back here. I'm not sold on Chase Price.

690
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: I think he's going to make a lot of mistakes

691
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 6: against this Miami defense. So give me the Hurricanes. Anything

692
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 6: under ten. I think right now it's at around minus eight.

693
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 6: I'd really take this to minus ten, So yeah, give

694
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 6: me the Kynes.

695
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: My power rankings had this circled at twelve, so I

696
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: was surprised, frankly, that it came in at that number.

697
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: I think it's a market overreaction by Alabama just smacking

698
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: around Miami. But like you said, who wasn't really expecting

699
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: that that was what we should have seen coming given

700
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 3: the fact that that number ended up coalescing around nineteen

701
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: twenty for that point spread. So the market said Alabama's

702
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: gonna win big. They did. I don't see why that

703
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: should have as big of an impact, as apparently as

704
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: having on this game against Apple State. All right, what's next?

705
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 6: My next pick, I'm going to take Buffalo plus thirteen

706
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 6: and a half. Anybody who knows me knows I love

707
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 6: this Buffalo team. I've loved them for years. I bet

708
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 6: them pretty much every other week for the last like

709
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 6: four years, which has worked out great. They are the

710
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 6: most profitable team in college football to bet on over

711
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 6: the last ten years. And yeah, I know Leopold's gone

712
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 6: that does make me a little nervous that so I

713
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 6: didn't play him last week, but they kind of looked

714
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 6: like a Lance Leopold team. Kevin Marx is still there,

715
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 6: probably the best backup running back in the country. He

716
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 6: was fourth in the MACK and yards per game last year.

717
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 6: He went for one hundred and five yards behind Patterson.

718
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 6: He's at He had over a thousand yards in twenty nineteen.

719
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 6: Cal Van Trees is back at quarterback and he may

720
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 6: be the best like average quarterback ever. He's not asked

721
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 6: to throw the ball a lot, but when he does,

722
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 6: he just you know, does what he's supposed to do.

723
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 6: He gets the yardage he's supposed to. Buffalo is fifteenth

724
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 6: in passing success rate last year. You don't think of

725
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 6: him as a passing team, but when they throw it,

726
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 6: they just, you know, they get a ten yard Firs

727
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 6: style and they keep the change to him. And their

728
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 6: defense was the best in the MAC last year. You know,

729
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 6: they lose some guys, They lose Malcolm Koons at d end,

730
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 6: but they do return Taylor Riggins who was twenty nineteen

731
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 6: All Mac DN So that's kind of you know, and

732
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 6: even wash in my mind, they still have twenty twenty

733
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 6: all Max linebacker James Patterson, Jared Patterson's brother. They allowed

734
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 6: just ninety seven yards a week one. You know, I

735
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 6: know it's against Wagner, so how much stock can you

736
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 6: put into it? But to me, you know, they look

737
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 6: like the Leopold team. They looked like the Buffalo team

738
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 6: we've seen the last four or five years. I don't

739
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: really trust Nebraska, so give me. Give me Buffalo plus

740
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 6: thirteen and a half against the corn Huskers.

741
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 3: At this point, with the body of work, we know

742
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: what Adrian Martinez is. He's someone who's going to fail

743
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: to make some of the simple pass completions. He's also

744
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: going to dazzle with how he can extend some plays.

745
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: I think this number is primed for a fourth quarterback

746
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: back door cover for Buffalo. I did try to need

747
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: a lea a little bit before the recording to say, hey,

748
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 3: why don't you know put your money where your mouth

749
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 3: is and take Buffalo on the money line. Maybe a

750
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 3: little sprinkle there. Let's make sure to keep the chief

751
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: five high five pristine and keep the winning streak going.

752
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: So I'm glad you're taking the points, all right? Take

753
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: us home here with your final pick and number five

754
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 3: of the week for us from my last pick.

755
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 6: You know, this is we'ren eleven, so we're getting a

756
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 6: little cocky with it, you know, we're you know, we're

757
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 6: feeling ourselves and we're betting on Temple cause I'm taking Temple,

758
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 6: who stinks. Don't get me wrong, they stink. I have

759
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 6: no stats written down to convince you they don't stink

760
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 6: because they stink. But they're playing Akron, who, in my

761
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 6: opinion is is about seven points worse than any team

762
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 6: in the country not named yukon UMass or New Mexico State.

763
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 6: So I'll lay the points with Temple. You know, obviously

764
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 6: they got smoked by Rutgers, but even that game was

765
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 6: a little misleading to you know, Temple turned the ball

766
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 6: over five times, Rutgers still only had three hundred and

767
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 6: sixty five total yards, which is not a lot for

768
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 6: a team that put up sixty points. This is one

769
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 6: of those you know, hold your nose, check check the

770
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 6: action Eric app to follow along. Please don't watch this game.

771
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 6: You know, I'm just gonna take te Temple money line

772
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 6: just to be safe because Akron's not winning this game.

773
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 6: So Temple's only minus seven, so their minus two seventy

774
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 6: on the money line. We'll throw that in here to

775
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 6: compare with our other to help boost our other plays.

776
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 6: Akron's not being anyone, so give me Temple with minus

777
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 6: two seventy on the money line.

778
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 3: This one is rough, but you know what you You

779
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 3: also were undefeated last week, so I'm putting our collective

780
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: hope in your hands and hopefully we don't fumble the

781
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: bag here. We did disagree on one game last week,

782
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: which was this Texas State against Baylor, so I have

783
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: that win in my pocket. As many of our listeners know,

784
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: I have every single FBS helmet, but I'm slowly collecting

785
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: on the FCS level. So if you could hit me

786
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: up with a James Madison helmet at your leisure. I

787
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: know there's some supply chain issues across the US, so

788
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: if it takes two or three months, that's fine. Now

789
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 3: the G five Deep Dive this week has basically been

790
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: another love fest, and why shouldn't it be. But I

791
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 3: do have a feeling that there's one game we're gonna

792
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 3: be on opposite sides of here. What do you got?

793
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: We can't see.

794
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: Very no good guy, very no bad guys. There's only

795
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 3: you and we just disagree.

796
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Toledo Rockets. You know,

797
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 6: they're getting sixteen and a half, I think if I

798
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 6: can get a seventeen even better. But they're playing Notre Dame,

799
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 6: who obviously they you know, they came away with the

800
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 6: win against Florida State and Jack Cone looked great. But

801
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 6: I don't know how sustainable that is. You know, it's

802
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 6: hard to tell if that was more of a product

803
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 6: of the Florida State defense or this Notre Dame offense.

804
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 6: Florida State was able to move the ball a lot

805
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 6: better than I expected, So I think Toledo's gonna have

806
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 6: no problem running the ball in this Notre Dame defense

807
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 6: and being able to move the ball pretty much as

808
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 6: well as Florida State did. So Toledo's you know, they

809
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 6: bring back the highest tarp in the country, I think,

810
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 6: and they're one of the best teams in the MAX.

811
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 6: So I'll take seventeen points with Toledo against Notre Dame.

812
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 3: I mean, for my money, Bruce Karkowski's not walking through

813
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 3: that door, unless you know, Kareem Hunt's got a fake

814
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: mustache on and all of a sudden he's running the

815
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: ball for the Rockets. I don't see them hanging around

816
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 3: against the Golden Domers, particularly when you look at how

817
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: good Kyle Hamilton is in that secondary for Notre Dame.

818
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: He made some interceptions that were like, you can't even

819
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: blame the Florida State course free. He was just eating

820
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: up free space where he was twenty five yards away

821
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: from a pass when it left you know Travis's hand,

822
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 3: and he still intercepts the ball. So I'll go ahead

823
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: with Notre Dame to get right at home. You know

824
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: that two thirty NBC game where it's kind of like

825
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 3: a standalone, so I think everyone will watch at least

826
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: the first quarter of that, and I see Notre Dame

827
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: just kind of laying waste to Toledo there one final game,

828
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 3: just as a bonus, I want to throw out there

829
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 3: and you can, you know, weigh in as well. North

830
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: Carolina looked listless in that opener against Virginia Tech, and

831
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: Mac Brown looked like me after eleven drinks at the bar.

832
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: You know, for those reasons, I just see Georgia State

833
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: getting twenty five and a half. This is a panther

834
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 3: team I mentioned earlier that had COVID issues they're getting

835
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 3: all the players back. According to the beat writer from

836
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Journal Constitution, there's a team those seven and

837
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: three against the spread last year, and Sam Pinckney in particular.

838
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 3: I think it's going to help their passing game. Pop

839
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: Cornelius Quad Brown is going to have a much better showing.

840
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: I'll take the twenty five and a half because Sam

841
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 3: Hall doesn't play defense. I feel comfortable with Georgia State

842
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: getting to that twenty point threshold and at that point

843
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 3: I'm covering. What do you think about the Panthers out

844
00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 3: of the Sunbelt in this one?

845
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 6: I don't know. That just makes me nervous. Since you

846
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 6: throw on extra, I'll sprinkle one on top. This is

847
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 6: gonna be a fun game. Just to this one is one.

848
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 6: Take it just to have fun. Just throw a little

849
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 6: shackles on it because you want to watch it. North

850
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 6: Texas SMU is gonna be awesome. It's gonna be an

851
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 6: absolute shootout. It's over seventy three numbers probably too high.

852
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 6: I don't care. I'm taking it just for the heck

853
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 6: of it. We saw what this North Texas offense did

854
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 6: last year. SMU started Tanner Mortarcai week one. All he

855
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 6: did is set the He had the highest quarterback EPA

856
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: per play ever in the college football era in his

857
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 6: first week. It's all I needed to see. SMU brings

858
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 6: back a ton on offense. North Texas does as well.

859
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 6: Give me that over seventy three. This might be the

860
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 6: most fun game of the week in the G five.

861
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 6: So I just want a little action on that and

862
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 6: hope we get a shootout.

863
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, let's do this all right.

864
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 6: So to summarize today's action, just for those of you,

865
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 6: you know, looking for the bets from today, with the

866
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 6: help of our beloved voice over Lady Tina, to help

867
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 6: all you degenerates, remember, I will run through the picks

868
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 6: for our best bets. Calabreeze likes Baylor minus four seven

869
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 6: and a half.

870
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 4: The Bayler Bears, sick of Bears.

871
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 6: I like Wyoming minus six and a half.

872
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: The Wyoming Cowboys.

873
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: For our money line underdog parlay. Lousy board for dogs

874
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 6: this week, but we're going to go with.

875
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,120

Speaker 4: The East Carolina Pirates.

878
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 6: And for our lovely G five High five round robin

879
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 6: that did go five and oh last week. By the way,

Speaker 6: And a minus two seventy money line on.

884
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 4: Temple the Temple Owls.

885
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 6: Also, if you're still hounting fraction, we threw out two

886
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 6: bonus picks Georgia State plus twenty six.

887
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,960
