Speaking of 55 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the AAC, my hero, the entire AAC, because this year 56 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: in g five lands, you know, we had some build 57 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: up in the last five years. You know, is UCF 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: going to go to the National title game? Are they 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: going to get respect at Cincinnati? Going to break through 60 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: that glass ceiling and finally punch a ticket for the 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: little guys to the college football Playoff? Very early on 62 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: it was clear that was not what the season was 63 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: going to be about. And because of that, I think 64 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: the you know, the race for the new year six 65 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: has become more and more interesting, at least from where 66 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: we sit and the center of the universe. Here is 67 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: the AAC. You got UCF still in position. Cincinnati and Tulane. 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: Now you have this two lane Cincinnati game here late 69 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: in the season. Whoever wins that is going to punch 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: a ticket to the AC title game. They're probably going 71 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: to play Central Florida. I'm just impressed with everything that's 72 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: gone on, particularly on the two lane side. We talked 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: a little bit in the preseason about what it would 74 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: take for a team to be a sleeper to hop 75 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: past a Houston or an SMU, and they put it 76 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: all together on both sides of the ball. They were 77 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: dynamically last week. So I just really like the brand 78 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: of football that's being played across the conference. It's been exciting. 79 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Whether you're betting on it or not, it's been a 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: lot of fun. And my eyes will be glued to 81 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: that Cincinnati game. I think you're going to touch on 82 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: that a little bit later in the podcast. 83 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious. 84 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: Do you think at this point the winner of the 85 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 4: AAC is definitely that New Year six birth or do 86 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 4: you think UTSA or Coastal still have a shot if 87 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 4: they win convincingly in the Sun Belt or Conference WHOSA 88 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: title games. 89 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: I would say, barring what would probably need to happen 90 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: here is we need to see an upset by I 91 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: believe South Florida is playing Central Florida, so you need 92 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: to have a loss. 93 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: There, and then Central Florida plays NA. Yeah, I know 94 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: it is South. 95 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: Florida, right, Yeah. So at this point, if they were 96 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: to take another loss and then they were to win 97 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: somehow the AAC title Game to get in with three yes, 98 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: I think it would require three losses from the AAC 99 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: champ and also Boise's kind of hanging there in the 100 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: weeds as well. With three laws year, it would take 101 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: a lot. I would probably put the odds at, you know, 102 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: less than five percent for Coastal that continue their dream 103 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: run because also you have to keep in mind the 104 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: human element of the playoff committee they take into account. 105 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Is Grace McCall going to play again? He probably is not, 106 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: So if he was there, I think from a star 107 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: factor perspective, they might give Coastal a chance. But at 108 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: this point, I think it's AAC your bust. All right, 109 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: We're going to flip. Now do our best bets here. 110 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: In week thirteen, I'm going to get kickstarted with a 111 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: play out of the Sun Belt Southern miss laying three 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: at Louisiana Monroe. The Golden Eagles can be a difficult 113 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: team to get up for. Emotionally, as a better you're 114 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: not necessarily brimming with confidence when you slide that bet 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: across the across the window. But here's the deal. Their 116 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: defense leads the nation interception rate, they're tenth and sack rate. 117 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: And you know it's an old cliche, play field position. 118 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: They played very well fourth nationally in field position, and 119 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: they can really stop the run. On the other side, 120 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: rose defense has an opportunity to make the Golden Eagles 121 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: look dynamic. They're one hundred and twenty seventh in scoring 122 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: d You can kill them on the ground. They give 123 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: a four point eight yards per carry. That's all USM 124 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: is going to do in this game. So four point 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: eight yards per carry, by the way, that's one hundred 126 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: and eleventh nationally. Finally, USM nearly upset South Alabama last week. 127 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: I think there's still that that team that is a 128 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: really difficult out, even when their offense isn't humming. They 129 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: were outgained by over one hundred yards there, and they 130 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: were right on the jags heel the whole way. And 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: clearly they're the best team or the second best team 132 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: in the sun Belt West. So I think that was 133 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: a quality loss to borrow some verbiage from March madness 134 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: and resume building and things of that nature. So I'm 135 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: going to go ahead and lay the three here. I 136 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: would play it all the way up to six and 137 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: a half. I think the Warhawks are kind of a 138 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: dead team walking at this point with Bowl eligibility out 139 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: the window. What are your thoughts on USM here. 140 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: I'm astually going to touch on this game a little 141 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 3: bit later. We may be doubling down here. 142 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: Fantastic, all right? How about your best bet? 143 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: I'm sicking the sun Belt too, and kind of a 144 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 4: similar mindset to you. A Sun Belt team that is 145 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 4: sitting at five and six and needs to win to 146 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 4: go bowling, which I always like to target this last week. 147 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: I'm going to lay five and a half. It's been 148 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: kind of jumping around five and a halfs what it 149 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: was last night. I'm really the five and a half 150 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: for Louisiana against Texas State. Louisiana has reached the Bowl 151 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 4: and all four seasons under Billion A Pier, they've won 152 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: three straight Bowl games. Overall, they're seven and two in 153 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: Bowl games. That tells me that they take them seriously 154 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: and that they care about them. Now they sit five 155 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 4: and six, have a chance to keep their bull streak 156 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 4: alive and their first year on your new head coach, 157 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: Ragie Cagans. They have to get a step back this year. 158 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: I only I bet on them all season, but Texas 159 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: State is one of the worst teams in the Sunbelt. 160 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: I think this is probably the end of this Favool 161 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: family reunion. Do you agree with that? I think this 162 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 3: is kind of they've worn out there, we hocome a 163 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: little bit. 164 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's time for a regime change in 165 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: San Marcos. 166 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. They're one of the worst offensive teams in the country. 167 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: They are dead last in the Sunbelt in yards to 168 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 4: play one hundred and twenty first in the country. 169 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: It can't pass the ball at all. 170 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 4: Layne Hatcher is nineteen turnover where he plays ninth most 171 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 4: in the country. They just have eight rushing touchdowns all season. 172 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: Only four teams have fewer. You know, Calvin Hill has 173 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: been their top back, but he's been hurt for pretty 174 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 4: much this whole year. And while Louisiana has struggled against 175 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 4: the run, they have been pretty solid against the pass. 176 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: And Georgia Southern is the only team to. 177 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 4: Throw for over two hundred and fifty yards against them 178 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 4: in the last eight games. Texas State is they throw 179 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: the ball at the twenty second highest rate in the country, 180 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 4: so they're going to throw it, but they stink at it. 181 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: They're just one hundred and twenty third in success rate. 182 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 4: Louisiana quarterbacks Ben Wooldridge and Chandler Fields have basically split 183 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 4: reps the entire season, but now Woldrid is out for 184 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 4: the season, so it's going to be Chandler Fields going forward. 185 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: He's been Levy Lewis backup for three seasons. He's been 186 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 4: in this program. He just thirteen big time throws, five turner. 187 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: The really plays. 188 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: He actually is the highest big time throw rate in 189 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: the Sunbelt. He just hasn't, you know, played that much. 190 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: But they finally have gotten their running game going, which 191 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 4: was really the issue early on. They have over two 192 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: hundred yards on the ground. It's three of their last 193 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 4: four games, you know, before the Florida State game, which 194 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,599 Speaker 4: I'm pretty much throwing out out. Chris Smith is the 195 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: league guy, but they do rotate him with Terrence Williams 196 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: and Draylen Washington. 197 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: We've both been pretty good last. 198 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: Year, the Louisiana team was one of the most experienced 199 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: teams in the entire country. They ranked one hundred and 200 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: fourteenth this season in returning production. That was a big 201 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: reason we didn't like them. We kind of faded them 202 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 4: almost the entire first half of the season. If you 203 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 4: look at though, as they've kind of grown this year, 204 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 4: you can see they've gotten so much better as the 205 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: season has gone on. They're a new coaching staff, a 206 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: new roster. I think with a team full of underclassmen's 207 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 4: team I like to target that's going to still care 208 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: about making a bowl game. Having this postseason, They're all 209 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 4: going to be back next year, so I think they're 210 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: going to finish out this season strong. 211 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: If I love the spot of. 212 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 4: Them needing to win a bowl game against a pretty 213 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: bad Texas State team. 214 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: I think the narrative is spot on. If you want 215 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: to successfully make money betting football, it's got to be 216 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: a certain amount of time where you're taking teams, you're 217 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: holding your nose. You don't have any illusions that this 218 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: is a great football team or a team that's just 219 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: about to turn the corner. But they're certainly head and 220 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: shoulders above Tech State who's kind of, as I mentioned, 221 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: a dead team walking, which is how I'll transition into 222 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: our G five High five round robin, because there's some 223 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: teams on the board here that I would love to 224 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: fade and will do so with Gusto. The G five 225 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: High five should be high. 226 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: Five, high five. 227 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: We've done pretty well with this throughout the entire season. 228 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: Can't say the same for an underdog parlay section. So 229 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to move a little bit closer to 230 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: your audio speaker for this section. I'm gonna get started 231 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: with a little bit of a cheat. They are FBS independent, 232 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: They're not necessarily part of the G five, but we're 233 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: a big tent organization where you like to open our 234 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: arms to the teams out there in the independent wilderness. 235 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: BUYU lay in six and a half at Stanford. Talk 236 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: about a team that just doesn't care. They're done. Stanford's 237 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: done with this season. There's no hope for Oh, we're 238 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: going to bring in a new coaching staff. Apparently David 239 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: Shaw is just gonna be able to coach there on 240 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: the farm for as long as he wants. They've lost 241 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: four straight by an average twenty six points per game. 242 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: You gotta flush that thing down the toilet like your 243 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: goldfish in fourth grade. Man, that think's dead and gone. 244 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: They just to their arch rival Cal That was the 245 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: last real opportunity to get up for a game all season. 246 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: They lose by seven in a bit of a heartbreaker BYU. 247 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: On the other end, they're closing strong. They upset Boise. 248 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: They have a huge offensive showcase against Utah Tech. Jaron 249 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: Hall went for four point fifty six and five touchdowns 250 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: in that game, and not much of a shocker because 251 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: he's finally dealing with a full deck a healthy receiving corps, 252 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: namely Puka Nakua. This all of a sudden becomes a 253 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: different team than they were a month ago when he 254 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: was constantly hurt with that high ankle sprain. They had 255 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: issues on the perimeter. Who were they going to look 256 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: to now that they're dealing at full strength. I think 257 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: this BOYU team is going to deal some huge body blows, 258 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: some explosive plays against Stanford, and Stanford eighty eighth against 259 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: the pass, one hundred and thirteenth in interception rate, eighty 260 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: second in sacrate. What does that translate to? They don't 261 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: create any havoc. So on the other side. Is there 262 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: a backdoor cover opportunity whenever you see, you know, a 263 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: spread like this close to the key number of seven. 264 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: Stanford's been pretty awful on offense. They're eighty first and 265 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: success rate one hundred and first in explosiveness when they 266 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: have the football, well, I don't see them getting it 267 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: done here, even though it is in Palo Alto. I 268 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: like BYU adding one more wins to their total this 269 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: year and trying to ride some solid momentum into boldseason. 270 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: BYU a team that for a good stretch of the 271 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: season was in the top twenty five. I think now 272 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: that we're dealing with the team that took the field 273 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: to start the year when they absolutely crushed USF. I 274 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: think that's the kind of brand of football we're going 275 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: to see here at the end. So what are your 276 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Cougar's here playing against the powerfight program 277 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: that's really floundering. 278 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 4: I agree Stanford's you know, their garbage. I think they 279 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 4: they agree that I they've quit and the YU that 280 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 4: if she has been their defense. But like you said, 281 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 4: the Stanford offense has just done nothing. I think it's 282 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: so funny by the way that all the preseason draft type, 283 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 4: and it's going to continue because people do draft type 284 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 4: don't actually watch college football all offseason. All you're going 285 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 4: to hear about this upcoming draft is Will Levis, Tanner McKee, 286 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: and Tyler Van Dyke. 287 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 3: And all three of them did absolute garbage this season. 288 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: And I cannot wait to just be so angry listening 289 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: to people who don't watch college football be like, oh, 290 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 4: but look how tall Tanner McKee is, how good he 291 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 4: looks in short It's like, yeah, but he can't play football. 292 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: Same with Lews. All right, I digress for mine. 293 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 4: I'm going back to somebell as well. I'm pretty much 294 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: all sun Belt this week. I'm taking Marshall minus six 295 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 4: against Georgia State. I bet Marshall will win the sun 296 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: Belt be for the year. And while that obviously is 297 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: not gonna happen, I still think this has been a 298 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 4: pretty good season all things considered. They're seven to four 299 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: heading to a bowl game for the sixth straight year, 300 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 4: thundering Her beat Notre Dame in South Bends, which just 301 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 4: looks even better now. They've won three games in a 302 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 4: row for the last five. Starting quarterback Henry Columbia got 303 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: her after six games regrow freshman Cam Fancher had to 304 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 4: take over. He showed a little bit at first, but 305 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 4: he has two touchdowns and needs the last two games. 306 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 4: But the biggest news for the Thundering Heard came last week. 307 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 4: Rachine Ellie is back. He finally came back last year 308 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 4: after leading the country in touchdowns last season, and he 309 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 4: kind of looked like his old self. He had sixteen 310 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: carries for eventy nine yards averaged four point nine yards 311 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: per carry. 312 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 3: But even without him, honestly, this offense has. 313 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 4: Been dominant on the ground. Kaylin Lebourne is averaging one 314 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty yards per game this season fourteen scores, 315 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 4: both lead the Sumbelt. But honestly, the real star of 316 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: this Marshall team has been its defense. You know, do 317 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: you know Marshall's second in the entire country in defensive 318 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: success rate. 319 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: I did not know that. I had a feeling obviously 320 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: that they were carrying them concerning they couldn't throw the 321 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: ball for the entire season. But that's still impressive to 322 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: be that high up on the board. 323 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, the second in the whole country. They're second against 324 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 4: the past, seventh against the run. 325 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: They've allowed just four point four yards per play. 326 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: And Georgia State has the fifth highest rush rate in 327 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: the country and it's just ninety eighth in success rate. 328 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 4: Darren Granger has been this team's leading rusher last year. 329 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 4: After both greg and Williams averaged over sixty six yards 330 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 4: per game last year, They've both averaged under sixty three 331 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: this year, so both of them have just taken big 332 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 4: steps back. The offense has just not looked right really 333 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 4: all year. And they were another team I was super 334 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 4: high in comings the year and they've just I look 335 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 4: like a mess all year. This Marshall defense is so 336 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 4: good and they're so deep at every single spot, like 337 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: they don't only have a weakness. You know, Eli k Neil, 338 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 4: Charlie Gray and Abraham boat Plan are three stud linebackers 339 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: that just totally clogged the run. 340 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: They got. 341 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 4: Steven Gilmore, Sean Gilmore's little brother, and Mikey Abraham are 342 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: both lockdown corners. 343 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: And then Owen Porter is just an absolute free getting 344 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: after the quarterback. 345 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 4: He has forty four pressures in ten sacks this season. 346 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 4: This unit is second in the country at creating havoc. 347 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 4: You know, George d doesn't throw it off, but when 348 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 4: they do, their offensive line is not very good. Granger 349 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 4: is going to be under pressure anytime he drops back, 350 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 4: and Georgia State has had a really disappointing four and 351 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 4: seven season. There are season's over while Marshall still has 352 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: the Bowl games look forward to, and I think they 353 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 4: get the added boost of Ali returning. He's definitely gonna 354 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: want to keep fighting. So I think Marshall kind of 355 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 4: just runs it up on him here at home lane six. 356 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 4: I think I think it's under herret pull White pretty good. 357 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, like that play. That's another game that I'm going 358 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: to watch a little bit of because I think we've 359 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,479 Speaker 1: been deprived the whole season. We wanted to see what Lamborghini, 360 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: Labourn and Ali would look like, you know, being a 361 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: one two punch. Clearly Labourn was able to carry it 362 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: beload throughout the season, you know, going well over one 363 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: thousand years rushing in his own right. So I think 364 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: the recipes there, great defense, great running game. That should 365 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: be enough against the Georgia State team that I believe 366 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: last week gave up forty two points to James Madison, 367 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: so they're more than happy to give up explosive plays 368 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: left and right this time of year. Feast Week Turkey week, 369 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: whether it's the you know, the Wednesday before big drinking holiday, 370 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: make sure to mix in a glass of water at 371 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: some point, or Thanksgiving and the day after. Everyone just 372 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: wants to treat themselves constantly. It's excess. It's excess. And 373 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: when it comes to gambling, that usually translates to bet 374 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: over on everything. Life's too short to bet the end 375 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: of blah blah blah. Well, here I am to just 376 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: give you a little, you know, something food for thought 377 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: in this spot, which is mix in and under. You know, 378 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: whether that's the equivalent of mixing in a salad you know, 379 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: during the Thanksgiving meal or something, just a little something 380 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: that's good for you taking your vitamins, so to speak. 381 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 3: How about throw little carrots on your plate? 382 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. They can have a demi glaze. They can 383 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: still be tasty. How about this for a demi glaze 384 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: under forty six and a half. Troy, Arkansas State. Troy 385 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: keeps showing up for me. They don't live up, they 386 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,479 Speaker 1: don't let up, Big Blaze. They're twelfth in that department 387 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: in the entire country in terms of limiting explosiveness. There's 388 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: sixteen or pardon me, they're going up sixteen points six 389 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: points per game in the entire season. That's seventh nationally. 390 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: You just dropped a Sun Belt stat in terms of 391 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: a top ten defensive metric. There's another top ten defensive metric. 392 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: And their offense stinks. It still does. I mean, I 393 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: know I took them last week. They were able to 394 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 1: cover the number, but they're eighty second in success rate, 395 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: their ninetieth and explosiveness. They're not particularly great on the ground, 396 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: although they had some success last week. And then think 397 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: about Arkansas State. They've been a whipping boy for us 398 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: dating all the way back to the preseason. Love to 399 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: go after Butch Jones. This defense was supposed to be 400 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: historically bad. They're not. They're actually pretty good against the run. 401 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: And I think that what that's going to do is 402 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: going to force some longer drives, going to force the 403 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: ball into you know, into the air. In terms of 404 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, Troy's game plan. That's not great for them. 405 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, I see this 406 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: game being played potentially in the teams and Troy relying 407 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: on their just incredible defense. And when you look at 408 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: these two teams in conference play, Unders have gone nine 409 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: to five in the fourteen games across these two programs, 410 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: and Troy's Sun Belt unders have cashed by an average 411 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: of ten points seven points per game, which is incredible 412 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: because there's been some really low numbers in the high thirties, 413 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: low forties. So I'm going to go ahead with the 414 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: under here. When I saw it in the mid forties, 415 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta go ahead and grab that. 416 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: Troy needs this game to secure their their trip to 417 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: the Sun Belt Championship game winning by the tiebreaker over 418 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: South Alabama. So not a look ahead spot, not something 419 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: so they're going to get into, you know, a problem 420 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: in terms of taking Arkansas State lightly. So I'll take 421 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: under forty six and a half. I know it's not 422 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: the sexiest pick here in the last week of the 423 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: regular season, but I want to I want to have 424 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: some winners here for our audience. 425 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: What do you think, Ianella, I absolutely love it. You know, 426 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 3: I love this Troy team and it's their defense is 427 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: just so good. 428 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 4: And I agree with you where it's not a look 429 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 4: ahead spot, but I also do think it's very much 430 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 4: just win and get a dodge spot where you know 431 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 4: they're gonna be fine. Hey, we go out there and 432 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: we know we can shut them down and we win, 433 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 4: you know, twenty one to ten, that's ball game, and 434 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 4: I think they they'll look to do that. Just hey, 435 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 4: let's just get the win and get to the Sunbelt title. 436 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 4: And I am so excited to bet them in the 437 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: sun Belt Championship game. I don't even care what the 438 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 4: line is. I'm I'm betting them against Coastal. 439 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 3: I don't care what it is. It could be minus ten. 440 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: I'm laying it. 441 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: We are almost here with the round robin. We got 442 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: one more each. 443 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: Hit me with it, yep, tease it. I'm doubling down. 444 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 4: I'm taking Southern mess item written down, Southern Mess against you. 445 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: Al Monroe, Monroe, same thing. 446 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 4: Five and sixteen needs a win to reach a Bowl 447 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 4: berth first time in three years, first under Will Hall. 448 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: You mentioned it. 449 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: The Warhawks aren't good at anything. If you look at 450 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 4: their advanced metric page, it's just red everywhere. Ninety fifth 451 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 4: and successful on offense, one hundred and third on defense. 452 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 4: Don't throw the ball well, don't run the ball out, 453 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 4: don't defend the run well, don't defend the pass well. 454 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 4: The entire page just read the only the only thing 455 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 4: they're above averaging is their thirty eighth in passing explosiveness, 456 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 4: so shout out to them there, But Southern missed nineteenth 457 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 4: in the country's end defense. You mentioned their defense has 458 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 4: been terrific against the run, top thirty five against the 459 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 4: run and the pass. The offense isn't great, but I 460 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 4: don't know what's going on with them with quarterback issues again. 461 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: You know, Ty Keys played just three games, Trey Low's 462 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 4: played five. He's back now, he should be the starter. 463 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 4: Jack Wilk's played eight. They've had six players attempt to 464 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 4: pass this season after having eleven players attempt to pass 465 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: last year. 466 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: Frank Gorer. 467 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 4: He continues to be the harm and soldest team. So 468 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 4: I just some of the miss is just better, and 469 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 4: I think they have the motivation they need it. I 470 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 4: don't think you al Monroe is gonna be able to 471 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 4: score or run move. 472 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: The ball very well. 473 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 4: Our action our power ratings make the six and a 474 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: half on a neutral field. So no matter how much 475 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 4: you give the Warhawks for home field advantage, which I 476 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 4: don't think as much, I certainly like getting minus three 477 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 4: and like you said, I'd play this up to six 478 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 4: six and a half as well, just given the motivation 479 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: that that's clearly on the go the Eagles side trying 480 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 4: to reach a bowl game. 481 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: Here, At no point am I going to open up 482 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: the action app and say this is in hands just 483 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: because you know Southern miss is not going to be 484 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: able to pull away. They're not going to score probably 485 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: more than twenty eight points in this game. But I 486 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: think if they do get into the upper twenties, I 487 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 1: think it's a lock. And giving their defense and their 488 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: brand of football. For my last play here in the 489 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: G five High five, I'm taking a car driving up 490 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: to podcast prison, going through security, walking in. Who's on 491 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: the other side of the window. It's Sean Lewis. I 492 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: pick up the receiver. I put my hand on the glass. 493 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: He puts his hand on the glass. No, I'm not 494 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: here to bet on you, pal, I'm here to fade 495 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: you one last time here in the twenty twenty season, 496 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: give me Buffalo minus four. The Bulls need this win 497 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: to get to Bowl eligibility because they got snowed out 498 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 1: of a game against Akron that would have been their 499 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: chance to get to win number six. They get a 500 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: de facto bye week from the superstorm, so they're able 501 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: to have some extra time to prepare against a Kent 502 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: State offense that can move the football in MacPlay, though 503 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: Kent is dead last in total defense, giving up four 504 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six point four yards per game, Buffalo 505 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: in conference play averaging thirty three points per game. They 506 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: kill teams in time of possession. They are first in 507 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the MAC. Kent is dead last. This is going to 508 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: be a game that they control the tempo, they control 509 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: the game flow, and Buffalo's run defense is the key 510 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: in this. Mark Wez Cooper is all that the Golden 511 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: Flashes have left at this point in terms of an 512 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: offensive engine. Buffalo fifteenth in defensive success rate against the 513 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: run nationally. I don't need to see any more. I 514 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: think they're going to get enough from their offense. I 515 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: think the bye week strategically is going to have them 516 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: fired up. Every ounce of motivation on the table. They 517 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: need this win to get to six and five with 518 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: that game off of their schedule. So I'm going to 519 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: take the Bulls here minus four against Kent, a team 520 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: that has been maddening the entire season. But I don't 521 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: think you're going to see a virtueoso performance from Sean 522 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: Lewis in the final game of the season with nothing 523 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: to play for, they can't go bowling, so I'm going 524 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: to go with the bulls. Is this a stay away 525 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: game for you for any reason? Or you're gonna also 526 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: come in here and just slam the bet button with me? 527 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: Already bet it? I bet it. 528 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: I think it opened at like two two and a half, 529 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 4: so I actually have it under a field goal, so 530 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 4: I already bet it. 531 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 3: I think this was actually maybe the first bet I 532 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 3: played all week. 533 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: All right, before we continue, as a reminder, the Big 534 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 2: Bets on Campus podcast is probably presented by bet MGM. 535 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: So kick off the new Pro football season with the 536 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: King of sportsbooks.

Don't worry, though, I have a big, 568 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: juicy side in mind, so if we do hit this, 569 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: we'll probably wash for the entire season. But why don't 570 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: you just dip your toe in, get the audience a 571 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: little bit, nodding and trying to feel the good vibes 572 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: before I come in with my Let me check my 573 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: notes here, my plus four to fifty money underdog. All right, 574 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: go ahead. 575 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 4: Look, I don't want to put any pressure on you, 576 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: but you said it. You have yet to hit a 577 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 4: single one of these all season, and this. 578 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 3: Is your last chance. Not to brag. 579 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 4: I've hit four of my last five, and I'd like 580 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 4: a little sport here if you would you keep throwing 581 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 4: out these half court shots. I'm taking another layout because 582 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 4: sometimes you just got to keep seeing the ball go in. 583 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 4: I'm taking Tulane plus one point fifteen. Biggest game of 584 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 4: the week, biggest game other than you know, the game probably, 585 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: but biggest game of the G five season to Land 586 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: again Cincinnati Friday Night winner goes to the hosts the 587 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 4: AAC Championship. And I think that's more of the motive. 588 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously they both want to reach the championship, 589 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 4: but this would be Twulane's first ever trip to the 590 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 4: American Championship Game. It hasn't won a conference championship since 591 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 4: winning the Conference USA Championship in nineteen ninety eight under 592 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 4: Tommy Bowden and if you. 593 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: Excuse me, Tommy Bowden and also Rich Rod as the 594 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator one of the one of my favorite teams 595 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: of my childhood Shaun King at quarterback. They essentially were 596 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: running rich Rod's offense in its infancy at that point, 597 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: up and down the field. Fantastic team. Love that Green 598 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: Waves squad. 599 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is the this is the best team 600 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 4: they've had since then. And if you look at kind 601 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 4: of the blueprint of how both these teams have lost 602 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 4: in the past, UCF was able to beat Tulane by 603 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: running it down their throat. They had three hundred and 604 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: thirty six yards four touchdowns. On the ground, plumbly torched 605 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 4: them for one hundred and seveny six yards and two scores. Well, 606 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 4: Cincinnati can't run the ball at all. There were one 607 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 4: hundred and eighteenth in the country and rushing success. They've 608 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 4: managed over one hundred yards against Temple because everyone does, 609 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 4: but they averaged just fifty two yards rushing in the 610 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 4: last three games before that. Well, last week, Ben Bryant 611 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: hurt his foot and he didn't play in the whole 612 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: second half. So a Cincinnati team that can't run the 613 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: ball well will either have a hobbled Ben Bryant or 614 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 4: a freshman in Evan Brader making his first start. 615 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 3: And well, yes, he's highly touted. 616 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 4: I think there's a reason he hasn't played all season, 617 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 4: despite Ben Bryant not looking, you know, like a world beater, 618 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 4: and it's his first start in the biggest game of 619 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 4: the year. So I kind of liked those odds either 620 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 4: way against a very very good two lane defense. And 621 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 4: while since that he has good defense numbers like we'd expect, 622 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 4: and they're good defense, I'm not going to sit here 623 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 4: and say they're not, but they've definitely padded their stats 624 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 4: against the really bad teams. You know. UCF put up 625 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 4: five hundred and five yards against them, ran all over 626 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 4: them for two hundred and fifty yards. ECU put a 627 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 4: four hundred and fifty four also ran the ball for 628 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 4: over five yards per carry. And the area the Bearcats 629 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 4: have struggled the most is defending explosiveness. Well, Tulane has 630 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 4: human explosive play in taij Spears. He's averaging six point 631 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 4: four yards per carry twelve touchdowns. Michael Pratt is also 632 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 4: super sneaky athletic. He's got nine rushing touchdowns to go 633 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 4: along with twenty passing scores just four picks. The Tulane 634 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 4: and then the Green Wave don't give up big plays 635 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 4: at all. They're one of the best in the country 636 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 4: at limiting exposive this They're really good at defending finishing drives. 637 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 4: So for me, I think this is a true, true 638 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 4: coin flip game. 639 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 3: I think Tulane is better. 640 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 4: I think I got on a neutral field, I would 641 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: make Tulane like minus one, So what's it two and 642 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 4: a half three at Cincinnati. I still think that's a 643 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 4: good enough price that I'll take Tulane plus fifteen. 644 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: I think they win this game. 645 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: I mean the Green Wave coming off what was it, 646 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: fifty nine points last week, so they couldn't be feeling 647 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: better about their offense. And I understand that this is 648 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of uncharted territory for them this late in the season, 649 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: being able to punch a ticket to a conference championship game. 650 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: But I don't want to get too emotionally involved here 651 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: because Fickle, to me, can take a team that could 652 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: be better and then kind of play down to his 653 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: competition a little bit. He gets so conservative at times 654 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: because if he does go with Prater, what he needs 655 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: to do is kind of allow him to use his 656 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: athleticism to really put the defense in difficult positions in 657 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: terms of the RPO game. He's not going to do that. 658 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: I think he'll get conservative. 659 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 3: We saw Plumbley, we saw Plumby doings well yep. 660 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: So for that reason, I like the two lane play. 661 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that this isn't just a two lane team 662 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: that beat up on everyone that they could beat and 663 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: then when they finally got those opportunities against the AAC heavyweights, 664 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: they're a little bit outclassed. I hope that you're right, 665 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: but I can't be too judgmental because as I mentioned 666 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: my money line contribution this week plus four to fifty. 667 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out some stats. So the team that's 668 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: prohibitively favored here gave up forty points to a program 669 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: that is not going bowling last week. Their defense is 670 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty first nationally and giving up explosive plays. 671 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: Of course, I am referring to James Madison as they 672 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: are playing Coastal Carolina. Coastal plus four to fifty. They 673 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: haven't had a number this good on the shots in 674 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: years under Jamie Chadwell. I think he's a great coach. 675 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: He had an extra week to prepare. I understand that 676 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: they played two quarterbacks in their last game, but that 677 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: cancelation against Uva gives them that added time to cook 678 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: up a really good game plan in this spot and 679 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: to keep their season, which they already have nine wins. 680 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: Let's get to ten wins. They scored twenty six points, 681 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: truly manufact ecturing points against Southern Miss. We hit on 682 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: Southern Miss for like half of this podcast this week. 683 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: They have a very good defense. I think they get 684 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: it done in this spot against the James Madison team 685 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: that has been up and down. They've been really good 686 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: against crappy teams, and they kind of imploded defensively against 687 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: teams with a pulse. I think Coastal runs were over 688 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: two hundred yards in this game. I think they'll be 689 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: in it for four quarters. Plus four to fifty I 690 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: think is way out of whack for what it should be. 691 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: If if this was under three to one, probably would 692 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: have followed your lead and gone with a short money 693 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: line underdog. But I'm swinging for the fences here because 694 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: I think this is absolute, crazy disrespect for a Coastal 695 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: team that has been the class of the sun Belt 696 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: at least the Sunbelt East for years. 697 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 3: Now. 698 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the shots at plus four 699 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: to fifty? 700 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say I like that a little more 701 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 4: after last week because I actually laid the big number 702 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 4: with James Madison. I think it was seven and a 703 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 4: half maybe last week. And like you said, for a 704 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 4: team that coming into it had the best run defense 705 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 4: in the country, you know from a success rate standpoint, 706 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 4: they let Georgia State we just talked about, has been bad. 707 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 3: They let him run all over them. I was concerned with. 708 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 4: Them ount of I mean thor the State should have 709 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 4: won that game, like they they absolutely torched them on 710 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 4: the ground, So I'm that did concern me for this 711 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: James Mass a team that supposedly stud defense did not 712 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 4: as like you said, and against the better teams they've 713 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 4: kind of fallen apart. 714 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 3: I don't hate it, all. 715 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: Right, Ianella. You pair those two together plus ten fifty 716 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: over at bet MGM, so you're gonna want to run 717 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: over and grab that before all this money comes in 718 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: detail US obviously throughout this season. But I gotta say 719 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: I feel good about this one. I felt good about 720 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: Yukon last week. They were on the doorstep against Army 721 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: three two or three times and came away with three 722 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: points in the game where they ran up and down 723 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: the field. They had no problem running between the twenties 724 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: against Army. That was very frustrating. All right, let me 725 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: run through our entire slate, our best bets. Ianello likes 726 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: Louisiana minus five and a half against Texas State. I 727 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: am on Southern Miss laying three at Louisiana Monroe for 728 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: our round robin. Ianello is throwing in Marshall minus six. 729 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: He's also doubling down on Southern Miss minus three for 730 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: my round robin. Additions BYU minus six and a half 731 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: playing at the Farm against Stanford Troy, Arkansas State under 732 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: forty six and a half, and Buffalo minus four against 733 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: kent hoping to get to Bowl eligibility with their sixth 734 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: win of the season, and our money line underdog parlay 735 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: Coast of Carolina plus four to fifty as well as 736 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: two lane plus one ten for a juicy plus ten 737 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: fifty payouts on the parlay. All right, any final thoughts 738 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: as we close out Week thirteen cutting room floor picks 739 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: bonus picks. It's been a profitable bonus section for US. 740 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 3: I have two. 741 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 4: I like Western Kentucky laying seven against Florida Atlantic. Western 742 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 4: Kentucky still has an outside shot to reach the Conference 743 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 4: USA title game for a rematch. If North Texas were 744 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 4: to slip up against Rice, I don't think they will, 745 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 4: but if they were, Western Kentucky still at least has 746 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 4: something to play for. Florida Atlantic's pass defense's garbage, So 747 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 4: I think the Hilltoppers win. 748 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 3: That one, and then I'll be honest. 749 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: I listened to Stucky and Collins Weekly recap yesterday and 750 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 4: we had a call from Minor Nation saying to lay 751 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 4: it to take the points plus seventeen and a half 752 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 4: against UTSA because they're already locked into the Conference USA 753 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: title game and they're not going to care. And you 754 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 4: TEP won the game last year and now they're getting 755 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 4: seventeen and a half. And I loved everything. 756 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 3: He said. 757 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 4: If you give me a gambling tip, I'm going to 758 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 4: take it one hundred out of a hundred times because 759 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 4: I can't afford to be wrong. 760 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 3: And I loved it. So I'm going to take you 761 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 3: tip blust the points because that card he commitced me. 762 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 3: I'll be honest. He convinced me. I love my oron Nation, 763 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 3: I love meet Me. Carr was convincing. I'll give you that. 764 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: It's been my distinct pleasure to fill in for Stucky 765 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: on the Maction Live Show throughout the week. This is 766 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: my third week hosting and I'm undefeated in terms of 767 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: my picks, so feeling myself a little bit. Not a 768 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: big deal, not a big deal. I think it's interesting. 769 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: It's probably if you had a trace back where this 770 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: bet comes from. For me, it's the fact that we 771 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: have the World Cup here at this point, and I 772 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: love looking through the exotics on the World Cup and 773 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: one that gets placed a lot is that double result. 774 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: So what your betting is who's winning at halftime after 775 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: forty five minutes, who wins the match? And you can 776 00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, mix and match. You can have a team 777 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: going why a wire, you can have teams tied, you 778 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: can flip it from one team giving up the lead 779 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: in the second half. I'm going to go with a 780 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: maction play. If you're listening to this on Tuesday afternoon, 781 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: there's still time bowling Green to lead at halftime against 782 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: Ohio and then Ohio to win the game at plus 783 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: five eighty, And I'm going to throw out the reasons why. 784 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: I actually think there's a pretty strong argument that could 785 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: be made. Let's talk about Ohio quarterback Curtis Rourke. The 786 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: Maple Missiles banged up. It looks like he's fifty to fifty. 787 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: If he plays, he's going to be in a knee brace. 788 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: It's going to limit how dynamic they are offensively. He's 789 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: the guy who makes it happen. If he doesn't play, 790 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: They're going with CJ. Harris, who is a three star 791 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: backup quarterback making his first college start. He's definitely an 792 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: added rushing element. He had a thirty eight yards in 793 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: relief of Rourke last week. But in terms of game plan, 794 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: I think they'll go pretty conservative. They'll just give it 795 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: to Bangura and try to run, run, run, run, run, 796 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: which I think will give the Falcons a chance to 797 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: grab an early lead. But here's why I really like 798 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: this bet. The coaching staffs in this game clearly go 799 00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: in two different directions when they get to the locker 800 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 1: room time. Ohio in the second half this season averaging 801 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: seventeen points per game, that's eighteenth nationally, bowling green in 802 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: the second half one hundred and fifteenth nationally at less 803 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 1: than nine points per game in the final thirty minutes. 804 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go ahead with the bobs there to 805 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: have it come from behind victory at almost six to one. 806 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: You can check it out. I think I saw it 807 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: a plus five seventy five over at bet MGM. So 808 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: that's my exotic I'm thrown out here in week thirteen. 809 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: Is that a little too rich for your bludder? Is 810 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: that the right kind of crazy? 811 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 4: Everything about match is the right time you. If you 812 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 4: said this about any of the conference, I would have 813 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 4: just tuned out. Let's get this is mach This is 814 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,240 Speaker 4: the last maction let's get crazy. 815 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: Max just so holds the man. 816 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: All right. For Mike Ianello on Mike Calvary's this has 817 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: been the group of five deep dive under the Big 818 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: Bets on campus banner all through our week thirteen picks 819 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: or a minor to our audience that there's all kinds 820 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: of programming notes for your NFL content this week over 821 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: on the Action Network podcast.
