Speaker 2: and FSR betting analyst Jared Smith.

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, everybody. Welcome in here on a victory Saturday.

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Isn't it a beautiful day?

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 4: Fellow?

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: What a gorgeous day it is? After the Irish triumph.

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Actually couldn't help myself the other day. I had to

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: get a little momento over here.

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: I look at this.

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: Look at look at look at this. Right, I'll look

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: at that little little shamrock, little mini helmet necklace. Overy

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Come on, how about that? A couple of garbage scores

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: by IU at the end there they're losing twenty seven

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: to three with about two minutes to go. Beautiful, beautiful,

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: start to the College Football Playoff? Was it not?

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: You know you are maybe the only person saying that

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: waking up this morning, you with all your other Irish fans,

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: the Notre Dame victory over Indiana will go down. I

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: think as a failed experiment. I think that's how it's

30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: going to be remembered. There's a lot of people who

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: are reacting on social media, in the media, mainstream media,

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: all the media. Everybody seems to believe that this was

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: a bad thing for the postseason. I disagree. I disagree

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: because I don't know if I love necessarily every team

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: that got invited to the CFP. But I will tell

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: you what I do love. I do love when the

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: small can test their might against the big on an

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: even playing ground and see where they stack up. And Indiana,

39
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: for all the pomp and circumstance, including some self inflicted

40
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: wounds that Signetti Kurt Signetti drew upon Indiana leading up

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: to kickoff, taking time out of his game day to

42
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: join game day to talk some stuff before going out

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: there and getting stuffed that that's.

44
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: A bad look for the program.

45
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: However, going back to my original statement, I still think

46
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: it's good for football. I think it's good sometimes to see,

47
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: all right, is there a route to get yet to

48
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: the top that's less conventional, you know, that doesn't require

49
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: having literally the best players on the planet or spending

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: the most money and doing all those things. Is there

51
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: a way to start a program like Kurt Signetti did

52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: where he's bringing on all these JAMU transfers and he's

53
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: installing a system that seems to work against lesser competition,

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: stacking up a great record. When it's tested against a

55
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: better team with more money, better players, can it work?

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: The answer we got yesterday resoundingly was no. And it

57
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: wasn't a particularly competitive football game, but I don't think

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: it was bad for the sport. Like a lot of

59
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: people were cheerleading from the sidelines.

60
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everyone.

61
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: Like all of the arguments for the three loss SEC

62
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 5: teams were all bro and I was.

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: One of them.

64
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I'm a sucker for engagement. I'm

65
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: an engagement farmer. I don't farm potatoes or carrots, but

66
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: I do farm engagement.

67
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes.

68
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: It was low.

69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 6: Hanging fruit that Alabama ole miss.

70
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 5: Frankly, any of the three lost SEC teams I think

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: would have put up a little bit more of a

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: fight in that game that Indiana did. But to be fair,

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: the writing was on the wall. We did watch Indiana

74
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: go into the horseshoe and get pushed around. And I

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 5: don't particularly think Ohio State is an overly tough bullied

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 5: this year.

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 6: So that was kind of the writing on the wall

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 6: for that.

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 5: The part that disappointed me was it goes back to

80
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 5: the Lions argument and Brian, I remember we were talking

81
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: about this multiple times. Oh you should You know, we

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 5: criticized Dan Campbell for some of the things that he does,

83
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: but that's who the Lions are. If Kurt Signetti wants

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 5: to go on game day and talk the talk, you

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 5: gotta walk the walk. You can't run the ball three

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 5: times in the first half on third and law, you

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: gotta go for it. You can't punt the ball down

88
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: eleven or whatever the time and score situation was late

89
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 5: in the game. If you're gonna talk that kind of talk,

90
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 5: if you're gonna be brash and you're gonna be the

91
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: new kid on the block that's gonna do things in

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: a different way, you gotta step onto the field.

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 6: And coach your team that way.

94
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 5: Now, apparently he's just a conservative coach, but you wouldn't

95
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: guess that based off of the way that he goes

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 5: about his business talking. So it's a talk to talk

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: walk the walk issue. I understand that Indiana was physically outmatched.

98
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: I think a lot of teams that would have went

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 5: into South Bend last night would have gotten physically outmatched.

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: But if you're gonna talk it, at least back it

101
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 5: up with the actions on the field, with the decisions

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: you make and the plays you call.

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 6: Kurt Signetty was the gap could not.

104
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: Have been wider from the talk and the walk last night,

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: and that was the big problem that I had.

106
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so two things. First Off, Lane Kiffin, head

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: coach at ole Miss, he was one of the many

108
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: fanning the Flames and he took to x slash Twitter

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: and just wrote, very sarcastically, really exciting competitive game, college

110
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: football playoff. Great job, And of course yeah that's him

111
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: complaining that the Rebels his team were not in the playoff.

112
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: And it's like, Lane, spare me your tears. Dude, beat

113
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: unranked Kentucky and unranked Florida and you're in Okay, Like

114
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: I get it. If IU is playing Ole Miss's schedule,

115
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: IU is probably not in the playoff. I could say

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: IU is definitely not in the playoff, but that's not

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: the reality here. The reality is Ole misplays who O

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: misplays and if all miss loses to the top of

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: the SEC Georgia Bama, they lose to Texas. Oh okay,

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: I'll listen to that argument. Those weren't their three losses.

121
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Two of their three were to unranked middle of the

122
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: road like SEC teams in Kentucky and Florida this season.

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear it. Spare me your tears.

124
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to play this. Oh we would have done better.

125
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Well you didn't against Kentucky and Florida. I can tell

126
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: you that much. So I don't want to hear it.

127
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: And the other I'm totally with you, Jared. And shout

128
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: out to our guy Chris Purfett, our technical producer, extraordinary.

129
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: He was first to the group chat with bashing Conservative.

130
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: I would like that to be his new nickname, Conservative

131
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Curt noth Kurt about cowardly Kurt. Cowardly Kurt, I like that,

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: that's good.

133
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: He needs a heart like a lion. And yeah, Wizard

134
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: of Oz.

135
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Right, And you pointed out, Jared, it wasn't just failing

136
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: to go for it with less than eleven minutes to

137
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: go around midfield and it's fourth and eleven. It's go time.

138
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: There's not enough time. Yeah to put what He's like three?

139
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was like, she gave so bad. He's like,

140
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 5: we haven't done any offensively all night. Yeah, that's why

141
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: you're down twenty seven three exactly.

142
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: That's why it's time to go for broke right, Like,

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to punt there. Our offense was

144
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: doing nothing. We're just hoping and praying for a conversion

145
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 1: if we go for it. Our defense was at least fighting.

146
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: It's like, bro that's all great, you still have no

147
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: chance to win if you punt it. So I don't

148
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: want to hear all this. I win Google me and

149
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: he's this, are you just missing a big Texas belt buckle?

150
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 6: You know?

151
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: And at a big jaw in the side of ding.

152
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: You know.

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: You can't have that swagger with talk and nothing with action.

154
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: And that's what we saw last night. There was no

155
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: brashness with action, and that's what really counts well.

156
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: And I love the fact that Jared earlier you brought

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 4: up Dan Campbell with the Lions, because Dan Campbell has

158
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: really cornered the market in the tough guy coach talk

159
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: stuff and backing it up. I think the place where

160
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: where analysts and people like US opinion makers are starting

161
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: to come down on Dan Campbell is he sort of

162
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 4: still playing like the small fry on the on the playground.

163
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 4: Like in that Packers game couple of weeks back, he

164
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: was overly aggressive playing with the lead going forward on

165
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: fourth down. Sometimes now it's baked into the DNA of

166
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions, like we're gonna be the school yard

167
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 4: bullies or the pip squeak who went back and hit

168
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: the gym in the summertime, came back to the school

169
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: yard and is now looking to pick a fight with

170
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: the bullies. That's who we are, that's what we're made

171
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: of in Detroit, and that's a great mentality to have.

172
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 4: But sometimes conserving or being conservative and playing with the

173
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: lead is a different role that you have to sort

174
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 4: of take on and in view and become when you

175
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: become a bigger, more fierce animal on the playground or

176
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: on the serengetti on the planes out there. That wasn't

177
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: the case with the Hoosiers last night. They weren't the

178
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: big animal. They were the timid, cornered animal, and you

179
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 4: have to become more ferocious. You have to do things

180
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: that are maybe even out of character sometime because you're

181
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: not facing saving yourself for the next day, because there

182
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 4: is no tomorrow.

183
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: In the college football playoff, you have to go for broke.

184
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: You gotta go for broke.

185
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: So what if the scoreboard says this morning, I don't know,

186
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: forty two seven instead of twenty seven to seventeen. Are

187
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: we saying anything differently? No, no, So why not go

188
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: for it? It's just it drives me crazy when you

189
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 4: put players. That's my biggest complaint about what we saw

190
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: last night, Not the fact that it's you know, you

191
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: know link Kiffin boo who that it's it's Indiana instead

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: of old mess.

193
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: I don't care about that part of it.

194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: The part I care about are the players on the

195
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: field who don't get to choose when to go for

196
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 4: it on fourth down, who don't get to choose the

197
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: play call, who aren't in control of their future, and

198
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: they got a coach talking all that mess on game day,

199
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: on college game day, and they go on the field

200
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: and call.

201
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Them that conservative garbage. That's the problem I.

202
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: Have yeah, I think the SEC three loss debate is

203
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 5: more for the media, more for more, for show where

204
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 5: the right driver show putt for doe, where the short

205
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: game is really what we're talking about here.

206
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 6: What took place on the field in that small, little

207
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 6: sixty minute.

208
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 5: Window that was not really indicative I think of what

209
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 5: the spirit of college football is, which is to go

210
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 5: for it and to really leave it all out. Like

211
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 5: if you asked Indiana people last night, hey, do you

212
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 5: leave it out all out there on the field.

213
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 7: No?

214
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely not, at least not on the sidelines, not the coaches,

215
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 5: not the way that the game was called.

216
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 6: That game was not left out on the field.

217
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

218
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 5: You know, Hey, at least we lost. But I can

219
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: go rest my head late at night knowing that we.

220
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: Left it all out on the field.

221
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: I don't think Kurtz Signetty can look in the mirror

222
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 5: and say that today. At least I wouldn't if I

223
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 5: was coaching that game. Now, the next question is is

224
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 5: there a way to fix what we saw, which is

225
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 5: not get these cupcake teams with cupcake rainbow schedules into

226
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 5: the playoff.

227
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 6: No, there's really no way to avoid it.

228
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: The big ten, right now, because of the size of

229
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: the conference and the way the schedule is constructed, there

230
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 5: will be one of these teams every year. The conference

231
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 5: gets a lot of respect because of who's at the top,

232
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 5: but the way that the schedule is constructed currently, there

233
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 5: is no way for at least one team every year

234
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: to get this kind of path. The only way to

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: fix it, you bow And I've been saying this for years.

236
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: Everyone thinks I'm crazy. It's fine, I'll be crazy. I'm

237
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: cool with that. The conferences are irrelevant, get rid of them.

238
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 5: People are like, oh, but the rivalries. What rival a

239
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: high state Michigan, So schedule it. The conferences are irrelevant.

240
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 5: We need thirty to thirty five teams in the Mega Conference,

241
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 5: and we need to schedule like the NFL, where the

242
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 5: number one team has to play a tough schedule every year.

243
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 5: The team that's at the bottom of the barrel gets

244
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,239
Speaker 5: to play an easier schedule but still has to play.

245
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: The top teams at the top.

246
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 5: Maybe they don't have to play all of the top teams,

247
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 5: but Indian has got to play one game against Georgia,

248
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 5: one game against Obama, one game against an Ohio State

249
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 5: at least and in the bottom tier teams. Of course,

250
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to be you know,

251
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to go through a secondary playoff to

252
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: get promoted into the Mega Conference. But we really only

253
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 5: need thirty to thirty five teams. I don't need to

254
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: see Indiana play Northwestern. I'm sorry.

255
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: We just don't like we've we have evolved past.

256
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 5: That point of college football. But that's not the way

257
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 5: we're operating in reality. So we're gonna get these situations.

258
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, man, it's uh, I hear you

259
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: trust me.

260
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 6: But the reason I'm just screening.

261
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: The overreaction to one game is ridiculous. Like for anyone

262
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: who's like Indiana shouldn't have been there, you're dumb. Sorry,

263
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: you're dumb. Like, listen, it was a soft schedule, I

264
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: get it. But nobody was saying before access to the

265
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: results last night that I you shouldn't have been one

266
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: of the twelve teams in the playoffs. No one in

267
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: their right mind. They lost to Ohio State and ran

268
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: the table. They were eleven and one. No one was

269
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: saying a three loss old miss team should be Ian

270
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: ahead of IU. But I you get smacked and it's like, oh,

271
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: we should have had a Bama. No, no, we shouldn't have.

272
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Like this reminds me of twenty twelve with Notre Dame.

273
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: They got crushed in the College in the BCS Championship

274
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: game against Alabama. They lost by four touchdowns and and

275
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: people are like, it should have been somebody else. No,

276
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: it shouldn't have. They were clear, they were undefeated, they

277
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: played a big boy scheduled, Like, just because you'll lose

278
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: your game doesn't mean you shouldn't have been there. So

279
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: that that part, to me is ridiculous. And I'll say,

280
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: really fat, I can tell we could talk for three

281
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: hours with no commercial breaks right now. Yeah, yeah, all

282
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: right now, but I'll save it for uh right around

283
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: the corner.

284
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: It's a good conversation they have. I mean, it is

285
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: really valid.

286
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: Perspective from somebody who lost to a nine win Giants

287
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: team in the Super Bowl.

288
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: I think there's value.

289
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 4: There's value in having teams who are underwhelming or play

290
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 4: an underwhelming schedule in the regular season to see them

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: test their metal in the postseason, because sometimes you see

292
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: special things occur, like that Giants team. They went on

293
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: a hot run to finish out their season, and they

294
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: caught fire in the postseason, and we were a damn

295
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: good Patriots team in twenty eleven, and they beat us

296
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: in Indianapolis.

297
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: Fair and square.

298
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: Eli Manning may make it to the Hall of Fame

299
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: as a result of that second Super Bowl victory over

300
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: Tom Brady and the UATS.

301
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: And he will. Yeah, and you know what, good on him, because.

302
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 4: I think there's room in sports for somebody who's taken

303
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: maybe a lesser route to see if they could get

304
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: to the top. And again, like you said, Brian, I

305
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: think it was perfectly stated. Let's not judge the whole

306
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: CFP based on the outcome of the literal first game

307
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: we've seen in the expanded format. I agree with that.

308
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: But the difference in that Patriots here is that year

309
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 5: Rich the Giants during the regular season and also played

310
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 5: the Patriots. They also played the Niners. They also played

311
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: the Packers, who were the three.

312
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: Teams in season.

313
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, those are the same teams that they played in

314
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 5: the playoffs. They played them in the regular season too,

315
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 5: So and again I agree with Brian's point, Indiana based

316
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: off deserved.

317
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: They deserve to be there.

318
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 5: But the way that we choose the most deserving teams

319
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 5: based off the current schedule that is in college football

320
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 5: with the conferences is flawed.

321
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 6: It's a flawed schedule.

322
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 5: So I'm not saying they deserve to be in there

323
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 5: based off of a flawed schedule.

324
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the way.

325
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: But the thing is like why are we playing these games?

326
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Then we could just say, well, yeah, I know, I

327
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: Alabama just lost to Vanderbilt, but I still think they're

328
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: better than I you, So Alabama goes okay, So why

329
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: is why is Indiana playing any games?

330
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,239
Speaker 5: Well, we need Alabama in Indiana or in the same conference,

331
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 5: and they all played similar I.

332
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: Know, I know, but real fast. Chris Purfed, our trusted

333
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: producer as the last word on this.

334
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chris, we spent a lot of time talking about

335
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 8: whether or not Indiana deserved or not. But I feel

336
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 8: like that kind of underscores and I've been kind of

337
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 8: pounding this table all year. How good Notre Dame's defense is.

338
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 8: That's shutting down offenses? Like we're talking about a defense

339
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 8: that's got probably like okay, Xavier Watts, Howard Cross, benjam Morris,

340
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 8: Riley Mills, maybe Jack Kaiser, all those game guys are

341
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 8: going to play in the NFL. And a lot of

342
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 8: them might be top one hundred picks. I feel like

343
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 8: when we're like doing this on Indiana, it kind of

344
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 8: does disservice to just how Notre Dames shut down a

345
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 8: very good offense. And I feel like if we had

346
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 8: put a three loss SEC team in there, we maybe

347
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 8: not as disparate a result. But I do feel like

348
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 8: Notre Dame still wins this game in their own stadium.

349
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: Fantastic blat situation. And he also definitely doesn't call the

350
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 5: game the same way.

351
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: Astick point, Chris Profess a good point. What an exclamation point?

352
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: Brian's got Chris on the doll here, yes, checks in

353
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: the monk.

354
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm a Trojan. This this breaks my heart.

355
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 5: You're going to get a chance to show the world

356
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 5: how good they are in ten.

357
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: Days though, yeah, yeah it's late.

358
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 5: We'll see they're they're a dog right now against against Georgia,

359
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 5: who favorite, and now they're an underdog.

360
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 8: Georgia it might still be the best team in the

361
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 8: country too. So this is this is one hell of

362
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 8: a game.

363
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,160

388
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: So brief thought on the Irish brief Brieffellas, Because if

389
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: we don't save time, there's no time for your Nitney Lions. Huh,

390
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: there's always time for the nitt Go quickly here and

391
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: then we'll get right to that first matchup of the day.

392
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: I was chatting with one of my friends from home

393
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: last night, my good friend Jay. We grew up, went

394
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: to high school together, the whole thing, and he's a

395
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: diehard Notre Dame fan. We're both from South Bend, and

396
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: he was texting me something to the effect of, there's

397
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a yeah but with Notre Dame for a

398
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: while in the playoff where it's like, yeah, but I

399
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: you was fools Gold, you know, or yeah but Georgia

400
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: was down to their backup quarterback, or yeah but it's

401
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: Poise State, or it's small game James, right if they

402
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: keep advancing, And I'm like, yeah, it might take them

403
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: winning a championship to get universal love. And this isn't

404
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: just a what do they call it? Like, it's like

405
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: a scarecrow argument or this isn't just making something up

406
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: straw man there. I can never get that right, Thank you, Rich,

407
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah but there were some people giving him

408
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: credit and saying they dominated the game and all that.

409
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: But you know as well as I do, there's a

410
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: yeah but there are plenty of your yeah but whatever,

411
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: Like I you, what are they? And I said, good,

412
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: that's the way it should be. I get it. Notre

413
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Dame played a soft schedule. They lost in Northern Illinois.

414
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: They're not gonna just get universal praise for beating IU.

415
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get universal praise if they beat a

416
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: Georgia team without Carson Beck. I don't have an issue

417
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: with that. I have no problem with Notre Dame not

418
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: getting true respect unless they win it all. I don't

419
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: think that's unreasonable at all.

420
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

421
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 4: I think that there are plenty of teams, franchises, programs

422
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: that have made mistakes because they get lost in the

423
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: world of the yeah butts and they're not living in reality.

424
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: There was a time where the Chargers had a fourteen

425
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: and two Marty Schottenheimer and fired him. You know, there

426
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: was a time where the Philadelphia Eagles had Andy Reid

427
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 4: and we're going to the postseason a lot with Donovan

428
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: McNabb and fired him. You know, there was a time

429
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: where before the the thing really got rolling for Bill Belichick,

430
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: where he was cast aside as one of the one

431
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 4: of the the the parts you could spare in a

432
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: franchise moving from one city to another. And when the

433
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 4: Browns left Cleveland and went to Baltimore, they didn't bring

434
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: their coaching staff with them. They weren't yeah, yeah.

435
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: We're good.

436
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 4: Art Modell fired the whole place and said we're going

437
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: to start over in Baltimore.

438
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: And then Bill went on to have success.

439
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 4: Andy Reid was hired by the Chiefs and now he's

440
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer. You know, So that is that

441
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 4: is an interesting point you bring up, and it's a

442
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: lesson that we never seemed to learn in sports that

443
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 4: you don't really value the process only the results. The

444
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: process is in In fact, I would argue, in many

445
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 4: ways the process is more important than the results because

446
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: belief has to start somewhere. And so if this team

447
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: believes in their coach I'm talking about the Irish, if

448
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: this program believes in the way they track down recruits

449
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 4: and they sustain talent in this world of the transfer

450
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: portal and the NIL monies that are available elsewhere. If

451
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 4: they have a booster club or an NIL collective, or

452
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: a group of wealthyed donors or maybe not wealthy donors,

453
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 4: but enough donors that they have some wealth in loring

454
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: players to the program, and they've built a good mouse trap,

455
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: there's belief behind it.

456
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: You could get some fantastic things done.

457
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: And so that Andy Reid, who is cast aside in

458
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: Philadelphia becomes a Hall of Famer with a Kansas City

459
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: Chiefs program who believes in them, you know. And also

460
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 4: by the way he drafted arguably the greatest talent accordsquarterback

461
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 4: we've seen in this generation.

462
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: You know, that same coach I.

463
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 4: Was talking about who's cast aside in a move from

464
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: Cleveland to Baltimore becomes the greatest and most winningest coach

465
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 4: in the history of the NFL outside of Don Shula,

466
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: and certainly in terms of championships as to all the

467
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 4: rings to back the point I'm making, which is it

468
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 4: has to start somewhere. It has to start with belief.

469
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: So the yeah butts that I'm hearing about Notre Dame.

470
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, you're you're just arriving early to the

471
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 4: party and saying it sucks before everybody else arrives.

472
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: You have no idea what this party's gonna look like.

473
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 5: There really can only be one team every year that

474
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 5: doesn't have a yeah butt. So it you know, out

475
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 5: of the one hundred and thirty plus teams in college football,

476
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 5: every one of them has a yeah butt except for

477
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 5: one at the end of the rainbow. Process over results

478
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 5: is absolutely huge in the gambling world. For me, if

479
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 5: you just look at your record, you are missing the picture.

480
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 5: And I know, like, oh, that means how much money

481
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 5: you make? Yes, I know, but the best gamblers on

482
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 5: the planet lose four and a half times out of ten.

483
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 5: Are they just you know, every time they lose, They're

484
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 5: just like, oh, I suck at this. I can't do

485
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 5: it anymore. The best gamblers in the world go through

486
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: losing streaks. You have to continue to preach the process.

487
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 5: I think Notre Dame's process has been really good throughout

488
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 5: this entire situation. I'll be honest, I do think that

489
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 5: of the new like we're in a new era of

490
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 5: college football and I a lot of people call, oh, well,

491
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: you know this happened a few years ago. We have

492
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 5: to forget everything that happened in the last thirty years,

493
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 5: Like it's just it's not relevant anymore. Like we're in

494
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: a completely new era of recruiting anil transfer portal. Notre

495
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: Dame is building one of I would say, a top

496
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 5: twenty kind of program that is going to be sustainable

497
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 5: for years to come.

498
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: Are they gonna win a national championship?

499
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

500
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: The ball's gonna have to bounce their way. It's really competitive.

501
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 5: How many teams have won a Super Bowl in the last.

502
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: Decade was like four or five.

503
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 5: It's not that many, so it's really really hard to

504
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 5: get over that hump. I think eventually they will get there, though,

505
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: Like Brian, if the original question kind of goes down

506
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: to Kenodo Day won a national championship, yeah, I think

507
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 5: the answer is definitely more yes than no, based off

508
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: of the way that their process is currently constructed.

509
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the team, and I like what you

510
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: said right there, Jared, I like that, dude. Let me

511
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: not gloss over that. But the ultimate yeah butt team

512
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: in college football, I would say it's the twenty fourteen

513
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: Ohio State buck Eyes. They showed how you handle yeah,

514
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: but the right way where it was like, yeah, but

515
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: does this team even deserve to be in the playoff?

516
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: They smacked Wisconsin fifty nine to nothing in the Big

517
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: Ten championship game, and then it was like, yeah, but

518
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: they're down to their third string quarterback. Are they gonna

519
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: beat Alabama? They beat Alabama? Yeah, but are they gonna

520
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: beat Oregon? I mean, come on, they beat Oregon. They

521
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: won it all like, they gave us no other option

522
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: but to respect them. And that's the interesting thing to

523
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: me is sometimes these teams that seek respect, it sometimes

524
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: gets in their way of actually earning respect because they

525
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: get so focused on you're not respecting us, You're not.

526
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: It's like, do your job, win games, and they'll eventually

527
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: have no other option but to respect you. Right, That's

528
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. And we'll see if this

529
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: notating team can keep you their head down the same

530
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: way as Ohio State did.

531
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 6: Hey, let's get to the real team.

532
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I do want to get that.

533
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: Last thing I'll say is and it's it all starts

534
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 4: with the leader, Marcus Freeman. He is not a headline guy.

535
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 4: In the headline era of college football. True, if this

536
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 4: guy wants to put in the work, he wants to

537
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 4: lead his class, he wants to he wants to raise

538
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 4: football players, not starlits who are speaking to the media

539
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: and speaking in hyperbolic terms. He wants to play football

540
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 4: and match some heads. I love that attitude. And there's

541
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 4: still coaches like that left. You know, Kurt Signetti got

542
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: found out a little bit. Maybe he's quieter next season.

543
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 4: Maybe not, Lane Kiffin. I think what you just said,

544
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 4: the whole yeah but argument is perfectly stated, Brian, because

545
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: lank Kevin. I think one of the biggest things that

546
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: gets in his way is vanity. I think sometimes I

547
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 4: think sometimes he can't see the forest before the trees,

548
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 4: and like so statements even like oh my gosh, Indiana,

549
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 4: they stink we should have had a better team in there,

550
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 4: wink wink towards the camera. It's like, yeah, look but Lane,

551
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 4: like you said, Brian, beat Kentucky.

552
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 3: Beat Florida. You're in Let the results do the.

553
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Talking absolutely well. Now, as Jared said, he wanted to

554
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: highlight the eleven seed, the SMU Mustangs.

555
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 6: I'm all about the Mustangs.

556
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: Let's get that really strong defensive line, right, like, you

557
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: got a lot going for.

558
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 3: Him team Kevin Jennings today.

559
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: Chard Smith out of the backfield, you know, let's go,

560
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: very good player. But yes, this is if you look

561
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: at number eleven SMU at number six Penn State. I

562
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of this game is gonna come down

563
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: to how successful can SMU be against Penn State's running game.

564
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: The last time we saw SMU was against Clemson and

565
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: Phil Maffa, who we love, is nicked up and didn't

566
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: do anything in that game. This is absolutely a step

567
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: up in weight class, So that's the big question. Can

568
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: they slow down Nicholas Singleton, k Tron Allen, that Penn

569
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: State running game who just ran all over Oregon. Now,

570
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Oregon's rush defense is leaky, but still this is punching

571
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: up in weight class for SMU. If you're able to

572
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: slow the running game down, It's not like Penn State

573
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: has dynamic wide receivers. You're in the game if you

574
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: can do that. But that's a big if today.

575
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think that SMU when they made the

576
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: switch to Jennings, they got a boost to their offense,

577
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: and obviously that has revitalized.

578
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: Things for them.

579
00:29:54,840 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: But Penn State, they look they they give up, gives

580
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 4: up too many explosive and Penn States too explosive for

581
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: the Mustangs to be able to contain them.

582
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 3: For more than half.

583
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe in the first half. This is a

584
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: close game, but it's kind of like, can the Levies

585
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 4: hole than The answer is no. I think this is

586
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 4: going to be one of those scores that leave.

587
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: A lot of people really.

588
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: Scratching their heads saying, hey, do we have the right

589
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 4: system in place? Especially after what we saw last night

590
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 4: Notre Dame over Indiana, I think this could get even uglier.

591
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the weather and the atmosphere will be

592
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 5: a factor here, although I did hear it's not as

593
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 5: there are plenty of seats available apparently at Beaver Stadium today.

594
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 6: And I think the big reason is the kids.

595
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 5: Aren't on campus, schools out, so it's unfortunate that the

596
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 5: timing of the game, and unlike Notre Dame, which is

597
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 5: closer to big cities and obviously has a big commuter

598
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 5: you know, Chicago element to it, State College does not

599
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 5: like you've got to drive. Most of the kids are

600
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 5: in Philly or in New York City or in Pittsburg.

601
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 5: You got to drive four hours to get there, So

602
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 5: it's just it's a very different vibe when the kids

603
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 5: aren't on campus. I do think it'll be a really

604
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 5: tough atmosphere. Still, it's really cold. Apparently according to my

605
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 5: people that are boots on the ground, the average kickoff

606
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 5: temperature for an SMU game this year with seventy two degrees.

607
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 5: It's twenty five in State College today. So and I

608
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 5: know that they dealt with it in Charlotte. I know

609
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 5: Dallas is not you know, the Bahamas, but it's still

610
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 5: it's still a very different atmosphere than they've ever played

611
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: in before. And they didn't handle the ACC title game

612
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: the beginning of that game very well. It took him

613
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 5: a while to get acclimated to the elements. The key

614
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 5: here for me, the variants in this game, I think

615
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 5: is actually on the Penn State defensive side of the ball,

616
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 5: because their defense has struggled this year against spread concepts.

617
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 5: If you go watch the film against Oregon, go watch

618
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 5: the first half against USC.

619
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 6: Heck, go watch the Bowling Green game.

620
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: And I know Bowling Green is not your average MAC

621
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 5: team with like one hundred seniors on the two deep,

622
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 5: but those spread running concepts gave Penn State problems. They're

623
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 5: a top twenty team defending the run against traditional run concepts.

624
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 6: When you spread them out, they're outside the top eighty.

625
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 5: That's where Burshark Smith could have a big impact in

626
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 5: this game.

627
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: On the offensive side.

628
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 5: I trust cold on Nicky with two weeks to prepare

629
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 5: to give me something special here.

630
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: He needs to be in his bag.

631
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 5: And the Penn State offense, which has been inconsistent at

632
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 5: times running the ball this year. I hope that Nikolas

633
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 5: Singleton gives me what he gave against Oregon. That was

634
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 5: his first one hundred yard rushing game since Week two.

635
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 5: If he runs for one hundred, it's gonna be tough

636
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: to beat Penn State today. But that spread offense scares me.

637
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 5: Kevin Jenny's gonna be running around and this is I'll

638
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: be honest. I do think Penn State wins and covers,

639
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 5: but I think the beginning parts of this game.

640
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: Might be a little bit nervy.

641
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: Hmm.

642
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Maybe a little first half SMU played Jared, what do

643
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: you think.

644
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 5: Man, I'm just gonna I'll be so, I'll be transparent.

645
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 5: I laid it with Penn State. I gave it out

646
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 5: as my Friday bet mg best bet I'm gonna bet.

647
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 5: I'm gonna mitigate that though with some over props for SMU.

648
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 5: Skill guys Smith, and also the tight end hibner. If

649
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 5: you go out to tell you honest, SMU use a

650
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 5: tight end a ton. They used it a lot against Clemson,

651
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 5: and when you spread Penn State out, the bowling Green

652
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 5: tight end was going bananas in their game. I think

653
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 5: that's the middle of the field is where Penn State's

654
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 5: a little vulnerable. So I think running back over tight

655
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 5: end over for SMU. But I think Penn State does

656
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 5: win and cover this game.

657
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, We've got shared Smith FSR betting analyst

672
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: Tuddy time again, NFL or college football. Jared, start us off, Buddy,

673
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: study time.

674
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 3: It's study time. This is my favorite time of the week.

675
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: Every week we get to do Tuddy time with you.

676
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: All right.

677
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: We gave dealers choice today, College or NFL. I went college.

678
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 5: It's a homer pick.

679
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm going with it anyways.

680
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: I bet it individually. You put it in the parlay

681
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 5: platter as well. It's Tyler Warren, the most underrated Unicorn

682
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 5: in the entire sport. Didn't score last week against Oregon.

683
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 5: Everything but seven for eighty four went over his receiving yards.

684
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 5: Prop didn't find the end zone in that game against Oregon. However,

685
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 5: I do think he will find the end zone today

686
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 5: and again continues to be miss trie in this market

687
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 5: because when you take out bo Primula, who's like the

688
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 5: short yardage back, the quarterback backup quarterback for Penn State

689
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 5: who's now transferring out. I think it opens up more

690
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 5: opportunities for Tyler Warren. We know how he can receive

691
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 5: a touchdown and he can also run it in on the

692
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 5: goal line. I think they're gonna get creative with getting

693
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: into football. Today, Tyler Warren minus won fifty five first

694
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 5: leg of Tuddy time.

695
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: All Right, I'm gonna go with Saquon Barkley.

696
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: He and his Eagles are facing the Commanders. The Commanders

697
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 4: have a terrible rush defense, and they've given up a

698
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: dozen touchdowns on the ground to running backs, and Saquon

699
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 4: Barkley is responsible.

700
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 3: For two of them.

701
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 4: Those two were scored in the game they played about

702
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: a month ago where he racked up close to two

703
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 4: hundred rushing yards against the Commanders. So give me Saquan

704
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: anytime TD in this one against Washington.

705
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go back to college here. Give me

706
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith, stud Ohio State wide receiver. He's at plus

707
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: one point fifteen taking on Tennessee today. The last time

708
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: we saw Ohio State, they were running into a brick

709
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: Michigan wall. You know what I mean like, throw the

710
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: ball Ohio State, instead of like we're physical, We're gonna

711
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: establish the treach to throw the ball. Throw the ball.

712
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: You've got an advantage there. And I think Jeremiah Smith

713
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: he's absolutely gonna be targeted in the passing game. I

714
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: think he gets lose for a Tuddy. I'll take him

715
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: plus one fifteen.

716
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 5: Plus four seventy four on Tudy time, Tuty time.

717
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 3: I'll be honest. I feel like we could do better.

718
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: You know what I thought about Jared. I thought about

719
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: probably my call in the NFL instead of Jeremiah Smith.

720
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: I thought about Lamar Jackson.

721
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's right, big one.

722
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: Today we'll talk about the Rabe plus two hundred. What

723
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: do you think if you substituted Lamar for Jeremiah or

724
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: even or just add it on right, Take you guys out.

725
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 5: You don't take people out of the tunny time brlay

726
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 5: You're in time there going.

727
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: I like your thinking, Rich, that's.

728
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 5: Always the last. It's always the last leg. To get

729
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 5: you to watch the first three legs. You're gonna cash,

730
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 5: and then Lamar is gonna get stopped the one and

731
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 5: the Derreck Henry is just gonna mosey on in or

732
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 5: the the thing the one.

733
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 4: And by the way, on the same team, the touchdown

734
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: rushing touchdown leader.

735
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: And all the NFL is jel It hurts and it's

736
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: that amazing.

737
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 4: It stopped at the one that Jellen Hurts punches it in.

738
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 5: So if we just went no Jeremiah Smith, they'd be

739
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: seven to one with the three legs Jeremiah or Lamar Jackson,

740
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 5: Saquon Tyler Warren is seven to one.

741
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: I mean that's that. That's pretty good.

742
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll be honest, I kind of like that better

743
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 5: than Jeremiah than the Jeremiah Smith value.

744
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: You know what, bet them all round, Robin.

745
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: What would that be with the payout of all four beach.

746
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 5: Let's see if we go Jeremiah Smith there really quick

747
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 5: because I took it out.

748
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: I got to get it back. Yeah. By the way,

749
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: shout out to bed MGM with the little helmets, the

750
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: little icons, so you know which player plays for which team?

751
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: Very nice, important, very nice.

752
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 5: Eighteen to one if we put all four legs in there. Now,

753
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 5: that's now we're now we're cooking with gas.

754
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: Like Chrismas.

755
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Right, what was it? What was the total plus?

756
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 9: What?

757
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 3: Teen to one? Sixteen plus sixteen twenty four.

758
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 5: For the precise people out there, I do loud, be

759
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 5: honest with you.

760
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: Listen when it comes to some of these college teams.

761
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: I know who these players play for in the NFL,

762
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: but some of these college teams, it's a revolving door

763
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: to keep up with them. It's like, Hey, who does

764
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: Terry Winn play for? Is it Bowling Green or is

765
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: it you tep. It's like, I don't know, I have

766
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: to google that one. That really s.

767
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll give you a bonus. Toutty time standalone tunny time.

768
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 5: That's pretty juicy on its own. How about kay Club

769
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 5: Micket plus three forty. I think he is like the

770
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 5: guy for Club in the day that can keep them

771
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 5: in it.

772
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

773
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 6: I like that mobility.

774
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 5: He had a big explosive run against the pitch game

775
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 5: to pitch game. He's had some big runs this year

776
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 5: for Clumpson. I think he's really their only chance. I

777
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 5: think the stands game is.

778
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: That it's funny to me sometimes when you're like, oh,

779
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: give me Wisner, what's Wisner to get in the paint

780
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: against Clem's Oh god minus three.

781
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 4: Easy?

782
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: It's free money giving it to you.

783
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: It just it just takes all your scheme away, or

784
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: you're like, I want to bet that, and it's like,

785
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: what will I win? You'll win two cents.

786
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 3: You know that.

787
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 9: The touchdown bets are a very popular prop, but they're

788
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 9: also incredibly frustrating because they have no game script or

789
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 9: anything like, it's just who gets the call when the

790
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 9: like it's it's a very very volatile prop, but they're

791
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 9: very fun.

792
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, man, Just like player props, the touchdown props,

793
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: your teammates are your enemies.

794
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is.

795
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: Right, Like, if you're on Jeremiah Smith and somehow Abuka

796
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown, it's like, how many touchdowns? Ohios they

797
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: gonna score today? Yeah, especially in the NFL, you might

798
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: only score two three touchdowns in a game. If some

799
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: other guys scores a touchdown, that could be curtains for

800
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: your bet.

801
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 9: You know.

802
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 6: That's why you go for the juicy ones.

803
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 5: Forget about the wisnert minus three fifty, Go for the

804
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 5: club next to plus three forty.

805
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: That's what I like. Go for broke, you know, go

806
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: for the home run. All right, come it up next man.

807
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: They are undermanned at the wrong time. Ah, good morning.

808
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: What a day on three college football playoff games and

809
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: two NFL games on this Saturday, and two good NFL matchups.

810
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: We'll get to that this hour. Roy. We got the

811
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: Texans at the Chiefs, got the Steelers at the Ravens.

812
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, huge, pretty good. So listen, college football playoff.

813
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: They're hoping for closer games than what we saw last night,

814
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 1: or a lot of the public's gonna be like, hell, well,

815
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: let me see what's going on with Mahomes right here,

816
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: you know, let's flip over there, let's go to this

817
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: Clemson Texas game. Texas favored by thirteen and a half

818
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: now at BETMGM. The first part of this to me, guys,

819
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 1: is Clemson just doesn't have the talent that Texas has.

820
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: It Isn't that a wild statement, because not too long

821
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: ago Clemson was winning titles. You know, wasn't that long ago.

822
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't like another era in the eighties or something.

823
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: It's just not that long ago. They're going toe to

824
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: toe with Bama and beating them to win titles, you know,

825
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: and now they're just not as talented as Texas is.

826
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: That's the first part of this is if Texas plays

827
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: their best Clemson can't win. The question is will Texas

828
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: play their best? But if you start in the trenches, Rich,

829
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: it's advantaged Texas on both sides of the ball. Clemson's

830
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: offensive line is iffy, Texas's d line is real, and

831
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: then you look at the other side, Clemson's defensive line

832
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: isn't what it normally is. I mean, you've got guys

833
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: from Clemson littered throughout the NFL, better defensive lineman, Christian Wilkins,

834
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: sexy Dexter Lawrence, list goes on and on. You don't

835
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: have those same type of dudes at Clemson right now.

836
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: So it's advantaged Texas offensive line when you've got advantage

837
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and

838
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: your advantages continue from that point on. There's a reason

839
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: why Texas is favored by thirteen and a half.

840
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 4: I mean they should be favored by maybe more, but

841
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 4: I think that number gets too hot. Smart or sharp

842
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 4: money will pour in on Clemson's side. Who has a

843
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 4: coach who's been here before. This program's not the same.

844
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 4: This isn't the Clemson of yesteryear where they were going

845
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 4: toe to toe with Alabama for who's gonna take top spot?

846
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: In college football year after year when we had a

847
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 4: top four college football playoff, but they snuck.

848
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 3: In this year. You know, this is UH.

849
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 4: This is a team that has earned their right to

850
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 4: be in this in this conversation, and like you said,

851
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 4: I think if this is another blowout loss, if there

852
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 4: are a couple today, it's gonna have a lot of

853
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 4: fans flipping over to the NFL to see what's going

854
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 4: on in a heavy heavy playoff implication day for UH,

855
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 4: for for the NFL. But getting back to this one, Yeah,

856
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a war in the trenches and

857
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 4: it's gonna be one with a decided edge for the Longhorns.

858
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna come down to Kate Klubnick. I

859
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 4: think if he's contained as a rusher today, I think

860
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 4: it's curtains for Clemson. He's gonna have to get some

861
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 4: things done outside the pocket. They're gonna have to create

862
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 4: opportunities for them to hurt Texas with his legs if

863
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 4: they're going to win this football game, and if they

864
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 4: can't get him going as a rusher, if he can't

865
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 4: scare Texas enough and have defensive back committing to the

866
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage and getting off of you know, first

867
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 4: or second receiving targets.

868
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 3: Or get some done in the scramble game.

869
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think the Tigers really have a

870
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 4: shot in this one.

871
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 5: Nailed it four ten yard rushes or more against or

872
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 5: ten or more yard rushes against South Carolina, five of.

873
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 6: Them against Wake. He had the explosive against Pitt.

874
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 5: He had an explosive against Virginia Tech, which changed that game.

875
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 5: Kate club Nick's mobility is the X factor in this game, Mafa's.

876
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 6: I'm assuming he's still banged up.

877
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 5: Obviously we don't know the full extent of his shoulder injury.

878
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 5: But even when healthy this year, he's in the ninth

879
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 5: percent tile of all running backs when you hit a

880
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 5: matter behind the line of scrimmage. In terms of elusiveness,

881
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 5: he's just not an elusive He's a bruiser, and when

882
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 5: you're a bruiser and you're bruised up, it just makes

883
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 5: it that much harder, especially going up against the front

884
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 5: he's going to go up against today. Now here's the

885
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 5: part of the game that could get dicey.

886
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: I don't fully trust quinn yours. There.

887
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 5: I said it, I'll say it again. I don't think

888
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 5: Texas fully trust Quinn yours either. I think he'll be

889
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 5: on a very short leash.

890
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: Today. You're hearing transfer room. Is he gonna transfer? I

891
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: have no idea.

892
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 6: If he plays like dog Doodoo today, he might.

893
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 5: I think you're going to see arch manning packages at

894
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 5: some point. I think you're going to see the Texas

895
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 5: offense that we are accustomed to seeing, which is everything

896
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 5: is in a phone booth. They like to run the ball,

897
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 5: they like to run screens and draws. They like to

898
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 5: keep the ball within five to ten yards of the

899
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. It's safe, it's conservative. They have athletes,

900
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 5: they have the advantage in this game. I don't think

901
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 5: they're going to be very risky with their offensive game plan.

902
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: That being said, Quen, you we was under passing yards.

903
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 5: Two fifty six feels like a pretty high number. Obviously

904
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 5: a screen or draw, you know, he could break one

905
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 5: of those little tunnel screens and go for.

906
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 3: Eighty, but.

907
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 5: That is less likely than you know, getting beat deep

908
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 5: down the field. And I think if the game script

909
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 5: goes the way we think it's gonna go here, this

910
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 5: is gonna be a heavy run game.

911
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: I love this Texas defense.

912
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 6: I think that's the best unit on the field in.

913
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 5: This game, and they should dictate the tempo if they

914
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 5: convert the pressure on Clubnick to sacks. Club Nick does

915
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 5: have that elusiveness, but if they can convert that pressure

916
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 5: to sacks, it's gonna be a long day. Like mccouba,

917
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 5: Clemson transfer, he knows this Garrett Riley offense really well.

918
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 6: I think this could be a really long day for Clemson.

919
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and interesting that Phil Maffa his rushing prop bet

920
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: is down to forty four and a half. Yeah, I

921
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: bet under forty five last night and the understill might hit. Yeah,

922
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: but man, that is it's a shout out to Texas's

923
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: defensive line and it's just looking at the facts right now.

924
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: He's banged up. He was completely ineffective against SMU the

925
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: last time we saw Clemson. The other thing to keep

926
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: in mind here is I think Weisner should have a

927
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: big day and because the Texas running back, they have

928
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: an advantage when it comes to their running game. There's

929
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But the other thing is Clemson defensively,

930
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: We've seen the blueprint from Georgia right where Georgia they

931
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: just crowded the line of scrimmage and they're just like, Okay,

932
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: you like to do all these little quick throws, We're

933
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: going to play you close. I want to see if

934
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: Clemson does something similar here, because I think that's the

935
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: way to try to slow Texas down. Is it's like basketball,

936
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: Like they're high percentage little running plays. It's like they

937
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: they run the ball through their passing game a lot

938
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: of times, and they've got athletes that can go so

939
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: if you miss a tackle, all of a sudden, they're

940
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: cooking with grease. I think the best way to slow

941
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: that offense down is to get up in their space,

942
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, crowd the line of scrimmage. And Clemson has

943
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: enough in their secondary to not get beat deep if

944
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: you're going to do that. So that's what I would do.

945
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: That would be my approach if I'm Clemson is crowd

946
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: that line of scrimmage. Obviously, try to shut that slow

947
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: down the run, but that passing game, the short quick stuff,

948
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: but it sometimes pops like, really try to slow that

949
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: down and crowd their space. Because Georgia showed that Texas

950
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: doesn't like that. They don't like being defended that way.

951
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 4: The Clemson Tigers have a really efficient and active edge

952
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 4: rusher named TJ. Parker. He is one of these guys

953
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 4: who can wreck a game all by himself, so the

954
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 4: Longhards have to find a way to contain him. And

955
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 4: outside of that being a game changing player or stat

956
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 4: how about this one. I highlighted this one. Quarterback Quin

957
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 4: Hewers has struggled in the most significant moments of the season.

958
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 4: Twelve of his seventeen turnover worthy plays have come against

959
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 4: Georgia and Texas A and M. Do you remember when

960
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy was leaving Michigan and Jim Harbaugh had accepted

961
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: the Chargers head coaching job. What he said about JJ

962
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 4: and the reason why he felt he should be the

963
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 4: first overall pick was because when the moment arrives, he

964
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 4: shows up. He was like, anytime we had to rely on,

965
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy got the job done for us. Quinni Erew

966
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 4: says kind of like the opposite effect. The bigger the moment,

967
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 4: the smaller he plays, the bigger the moment, the more

968
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 4: he's struggled. And so this is a big moment for Texas.

969
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 4: This is a game that is going to really sort

970
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 4: of set the record straight because in their first appearance

971
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 4: in a conference championship game, the kind of fade they

972
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to win the new conference they belong

973
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 4: to in the opener.

974
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 3: Of the playoff.

975
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 4: If if they win and don't win easily, I don't

976
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 4: want to say easily, but if they don't win big,

977
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be conned. It's going to

978
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 4: condemn them a little bit. It's going to it's going

979
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 4: to feel more like a death march towards the second

980
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 4: round as opposed to an opportunity for the Longhorns, especially

981
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 4: if their quarterback doesn't play well.

982
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, thirteen sacks against Georgia in the two games, fifteen

983
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 5: the other eleven games, like, yeah, it's it really well, Hey,

984
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 5: it goes back to what we talked about at the

985
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 5: top of the show. Maybe Georgia is just really that good.

986
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 5: But it also kind of speaks to what Texas is.

987
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 5: They are not ready to manage up yet. Well, they

988
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 5: don't have to worry about that today. However, I do

989
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 5: think quin Ewers will be on a very short leash.

990
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 5: The one thing, so Clemson's defense, this is not the

991
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 5: Clemson defense of years past.

992
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 6: This is not a team that is going.

993
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: To bully you.

994
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 6: But if you want to say what they do well.

995
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 5: They're top five and two categories this year, creating turnovers

996
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 5: and creating negative.

997
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 6: Plays, havoc and more havoc with turnovers.

998
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 5: That scares me when you're going up against Quinn yours,

999
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 5: because the one thing that Youwers has shown you this

1000
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 5: year is the floor can be really low.

1001
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 6: When he's rattled.

1002
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 5: And that's why I think he's going to be on

1003
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 5: a short least today. I think you saw it last night.

1004
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 5: Now Texas is at home, which is helpful, but I

1005
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 5: think you saw it last night with Curtis Rorke.

1006
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 6: Curtis Rorck was seeing ghosts last night.

1007
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 5: He was seeing touchdown Jesus ghosts, like he was rattled

1008
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 5: by the environment. And I don't think Quinn will be

1009
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 5: rattled by the home crowd. But if he makes a

1010
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 5: mistake early or takes a really bad sack early, it

1011
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 5: can snowball. And I think that's why I like the

1012
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 5: under on his passing yards. And obviously again you know

1013
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 5: they break a tunnel screen, he goes eighty yards.

1014
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 6: You get screwed on this bet.

1015
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 5: But I think the game script will dictate let's run it,

1016
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 5: let's play conservative, Let's not make the first mistake. Let's

1017
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 5: let Clemson make the first mistake. Now you play not

1018
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 5: to lose. That's where the back door gets open for

1019
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 5: Clemson to come through. But I think Texas should control

1020
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 5: this game from a tempo standpoint, and I think quin

1021
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 5: viewers will play it'll be more of a conservative game play.

1022
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: Right, it's so completely random comparison, and it just hit

1023
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: me right now. But you remember Notre Dame's kicker last night.

1024
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: He's had a rough season, Jeter. Yeah, and he hit

1025
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: the forty nine yarder and all of a sudden, it's

1026
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: like McDonald kept it and saying he's back. You could

1027
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: tell he had confidence. You know, he's making CAGs. He's

1028
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: like he's like staring down Marcus Freeman like, yeah, yeah,

1029
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: I hit that. That's what I do, Marcus. And it's

1030
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: if you compare that to quinn yours, right, Sometimes getting

1031
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: into a rhythm and feeling comfortable, it could be just

1032
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: a little screen pass that pops for twenty yards and

1033
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, I'm feeling good. That's why I think

1034
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: there's value in crowding the line of scrimmage where you're

1035
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: not giving quinn Ewers those easy completions to start to

1036
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: generate more of a rhythm. I would rather crowd the

1037
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And again you're taking a risk. Yeah,

1038
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: you could get beat deep, but I think the dumb

1039
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: factor for like Quinn yours doing something silly up when

1040
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: you're forcing him to throw the ball downfield as opposed

1041
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: to throwing a screen pass or something that's high percentage.

1042
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't allow him to get into a rhythm

1043
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: like that. I would do what Georgia did. They did

1044
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: it twice, you know what I mean, Like crowd the

1045
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and force them to beat you deep

1046
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: because they'll kill you doing all this little short, quick

1047
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: stuff that they're really good at that. So if you

1048
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: don't defend it, I would rather I would rather not

1049
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: get beaten by a thousand paper cuts. And Clemson is

1050
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: so well, they're so good at doing exactly that.

1051
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 3: I completely agree with you.

1052
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 4: I think you got to kind of go for broke

1053
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 4: defensively against Texas's offense if you're going to win this game.

1054
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 4: And here, actually, so some of the best things Texas

1055
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 4: done really link up with what you just said. Brian

1056
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 4: top two nationally in these four categories quality drives, finishing, drives, defensively,

1057
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 4: coverage and limiting pass explosiveness. So when you're going against

1058
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 4: the team that can sustain drives for a long time

1059
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,919
Speaker 4: and also finish drives, so they're going to score points

1060
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 4: on you methodically, but then also on the other side

1061
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 4: put a lid on your offense.

1062
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 3: What do you got to do. You've got to attack that.

1063
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 4: Methodical edge they have offensively, force them outside of their

1064
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 4: comfort zone. So now they can't control the clock. Now

1065
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 4: they can't sit on the football for eight minutes, you know,

1066
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 4: and a sixteen play drive in the first quarter and

1067
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 4: really take the win.

1068
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 3: Out of the game.

1069
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 4: No, create some havoc, call some blitz zero. Let's see

1070
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 4: some blitz one. Let's see some exotics. You've had some

1071
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 4: time to think about this. Defensively, attack that quarterback who's

1072
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 4: shaky in big games, and let's see if you can't

1073
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 4: get a turnover or at very least a toss up,

1074
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 4: throw me.

1075
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 3: A fifty to fifty ball. Let's see what our coverage

1076
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 3: guys can do with that. I completely agree.

1077
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 4: I think this is going to come down to the

1078
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 4: Clemson Tigers.

1079
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 3: Let's see how how.

1080
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 4: Let's see let's see the onions defensively. Yeah, let's let

1081
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 4: it all hang out here because you got no other choice.

1082
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Club Nick's gonna have to be a star tonight,

1083
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 5: and it's a homecoming game for him. He played at

1084
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 5: west Lake High School in Austin. He's from Austin. I'm

1085
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 5: sure he'll have And I'd never played in front of

1086
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 5: my hometown with one hundred thousand screaming people, So I'm

1087
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,959
Speaker 5: sure he won't like know that his people are there,

1088
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 5: but he'll know right like when you're playing in front

1089
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 5: of your hometown crowd, Like there's a certain element of

1090
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 5: that that is in the forefront.

1091
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 6: I would imagine Rich.

1092
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've been down that road before, playing some

1093
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 5: games in the New York City area.

1094
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 3: It's just I don't know.

1095
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 5: I don't know what Clemson is going to be able

1096
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 5: to accomplish down to down offensively here, Like they're gonna

1097
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 5: have to hit an explosive, They're gonna have to get

1098
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 5: a turnover, they're gonna have to get a lead, like

1099
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 5: I think, I think the key and what Indiana did

1100
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 5: not do last night, Like if you want to talk

1101
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 5: about we have three games today, they're all relatively bigger spreads.

1102
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 5: They're all touchdown plus put pressure on the favorite, like

1103
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 5: Indiana put no pressure on Notre Dame last night.

1104
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 6: There was not one moment of.

1105
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 5: That game after the interception on the first drive, when

1106
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 5: Indiana threw that pick and and Jeremiah Love scoring on

1107
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 5: the next play ninety eight yards.

1108
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 3: That was it.

1109
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 5: There was not a moment in that game where Notre

1110
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 5: Dame was like, man, we can lose this. We need

1111
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 5: to up our level here. You have to put the

1112
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 5: pressure on the favorite. And if Clemson could do that

1113
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 5: early in the game, you could put some doubt in

1114
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 5: Tech because right now Texas is the biggest favorite of

1115
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 5: the weekend. Yeah, in their mind, they're already cruising to

1116
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 5: the next round. They're already planning for Arizona State. If

1117
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 5: you could put some pressure on them, make them make

1118
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 5: quin yeers a little bit uncertain, right. But if it's

1119
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 5: just you know, Texas left, right and center and they're

1120
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 5: just leaning on them, this is going to be a

1121
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 5: long day.

1122
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: That's why last little thing here is this is the

1123
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: exact opposite. I think what Clemson should do as what

1124
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: the NFL is doing right The NFL is two deep safeties,

1125
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: keep everything in front of you. Yeah, don't get furtten

1126
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: deep right like I think. I think Clemson should be

1127
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: more like the eighty five Bears. You know, croud the

1128
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage forced them to beat you deep because

1129
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 1: Texas can do it. Don't get me wrong, but they

1130
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: really get that offense humming when they're doing their short,

1131
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: quick stuff. I don't think.

1132
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 5: I say bond Injury is big. That's the one to

1133
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,479
Speaker 5: keep an eye on today. I don't think he's gonna

1134
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 5: play it for Texas.

1135
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,160

1165
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, Seamus. So three college football playoff

1166
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: games today? What line? What points spread or total? Do

1167
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: you find the most interesting of these three games?

1168
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,959
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, good to be back. I'd see right now.

1169
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 7: I mean, markets really settled down on a lot of these,

1170
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 7: But one thing that definitely jumped was we opened Texas

1171
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 7: minus ten and a half this weekend at home against Clemson.

1172
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 7: Sharps pounced on this pretty decently, and we're up only

1173
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 7: the thirteen and a half now, so I think the

1174
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 7: movement on that definitely jumped out to me.

1175
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1176
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 5: I felt a little heavy at open too, and I

1177
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 5: guess I was wrong about that assessment because the markets

1178
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 5: still like Texas all week I thought the total in

1179
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 5: that game was intriguing, fifty one, of course, being a

1180
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 5: key total in college football in the NFL lands about

1181
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 5: three percent of the time. Once I saw that number

1182
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 5: drop below fifty one, of course, people loved about the over,

1183
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 5: but the sharps looks it looks like the under in

1184
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 5: that Clemson Texas game also is a pretty significant move.

1185
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, open fifty two half, as you said, down all

1186
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 7: the way to fifty and a half. So there's some

1187
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 7: belief on the over. I wouldn't say it's something we

1188
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 7: necessarily need right now, but it's definitely one where sharp

1189
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 7: interest definitely had us move this down.

1190
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 3: A bit, Seamus.

1191
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 4: The Penn State line opened with them favored by eight

1192
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,439
Speaker 4: over the Mustangs. So look, I'm not saying they're gonna

1193
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 4: be SMU by a million. And this does sound like

1194
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 4: Homer bias here as I am a former Nitney lion,

1195
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 4: but I did expect to see this line move more

1196
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 4: than it has. It's really only moved a half point

1197
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 4: in Penn State's direction. Is this just a tough one

1198
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 4: to handicap or is this a difficult one for you know,

1199
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 4: Sharps really to make a strong play on.

1200
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is interesting. We opened up eight and a half,

1201
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 7: we haven't really moved. Maybe the juice on the eight

1202
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 7: and a half moved around a little bit, but you know,

1203
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 7: it's definitely right now will lead for us. Looks like

1204
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 7: if there are backers on SMU a lot are just

1205
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 7: taking flyers on the money line here, and then pig

1206
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 7: backers on Penn State are taking this sprend. So I

1207
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 7: think we're looking to thread the needle between. You know,

1208
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 7: if we can get SMU plus eight and a half

1209
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 7: and Penn State money line, they'll be a good one

1210
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 7: for the book, but definitely an interesting one. I've seen

1211
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 7: money come in on both sides.

1212
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: Here. What else do you need today, Seamus? What would

1213
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: be a great outcome for bed MGM.

1214
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 7: Best one we need. It's going to be what looks

1215
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 7: like it might end up being the whole day is

1216
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 7: Ohio State minus seven and a half? Ye As I say,

1217
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 7: in a lot of weeks, you know, we have the

1218
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 7: Colorados of the world, a few years ago the kansas

1219
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 7: Is of the world where backers in the States really

1220
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 7: gamer the hometown team, and Tennessee is no. You know,

1221
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 7: they're absolutely part of that equation. A lot of Tennessee backers,

1222
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 7: they come out, they show off of the balls. So

1223
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 7: a lot of money on Tennessee. Today, we're going to

1224
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 7: need Ohio State, big Tom.

1225
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 5: Here, did you guys, actually I'm looking at it right now.

1226
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 5: You did open Georgia Notre Dame. It looks like Georgia

1227
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 5: a slight favorite in that game. Anything significant with the

1228
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 5: quarterfinal matchup, with those odds just dropping last night, that's a.

1229
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 7: Big Yet I still think a lot of better is

1230
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 7: just trying to see how the rest of these games

1231
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 7: are gonna go. But yeah, some ton of movement there

1232
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 7: so far, But of course we'll see I think that's

1233
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,479
Speaker 7: gonna be a huge handle game the two big brands there,

1234
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 7: So no, it should be fun.

1235
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 4: Don't want to let you scoot out of here without

1236
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,439
Speaker 4: at least asking you one question on the NFL who

1237
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 4: shares this slate with the CFP today Houston visiting Arrowhead Stadium.

1238
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 4: You got the Chiefs favored in this one. Here's what's

1239
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 4: interesting is I love the text inside of this because

1240
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 4: the Chiefs have played almost nothing but close games, still

1241
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 4: favored by what bet MGM has casey three and a half. Yeah,

1242
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: I mean, talk me off of the text inside of

1243
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 4: this spread.

1244
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 7: It's hard to rich. It's not easy because you know,

1245
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 7: there is a big reaction Mahomes, you know, aid practicing,

1246
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 7: then being a full participant and then not even be

1247
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 7: injury report at all. So a lot of money did

1248
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 7: come in on the Chiefs. But at the same time,

1249
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 7: we're still seeing somebody coming out of the Texans all

1250
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 7: week because people weren't sure about how healthy Mahomes his

1251
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 7: ankle was. So I'm not sure if I can talk

1252
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 7: you off of that, because I, frankly am not one

1253
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 7: hundred percent like how one hundred percent is Mahome is

1254
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 7: going to be this week. I know Twitter likes to

1255
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 7: joke this is a classic fake injury Mahomes has every year.

1256
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 7: But you know, you got you got to you got

1257
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 7: to take these things seriously when when they're showing up

1258
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 7: on injury reports and stuff like that.

1259
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: I like that.

1260
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk you into it. That's what says anything.

1261
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: What's the shame of special today? What do you have

1262
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: for us?

1263
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 7: It coincides with our biggest need today. I love Ohio

1264
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 7: State on the spread. I think they can win this

1265
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 7: game easily by double ditchits. I think they're going to

1266
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 7: be really really ticked off the way they played against Michigan.

1267
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 7: I think they're really going to try to put the

1268
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 7: pedal of the metal here and and frankly, I just

1269
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 7: don't see Tennessee going into the shoe and keeping this

1270
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 7: one close.

1271
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

1272
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, interesting, how about my South Dakota State? But

1273
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 5: I actually bet him three last night now three and

1274
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 5: a half, So I guess the market agrees.

1275
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 3: With the.

1276
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was. I was looking at the toll there

1277
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 7: up to fifteen and a half. I know it's too

1278
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,439
Speaker 7: explosive teams, but this is thirteen to nine the last

1279
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 7: time they played yeah, so it feels like I am

1280
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 7: a toll. I feel like it's a big rivalry game. Yeah,

1281
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 7: the teams, it might be a little tense up there,

1282
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 7: but uh yeah, it's not often you find you know,

1283
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 7: North Dakota State get three and a half. You don't.

1284
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 5: I got burned on the under last week with South

1285
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 5: Dakota State because they decided to go absolutely bananas in

1286
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 5: that game outdoors.

1287
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 6: Now it's in the Fargo Dome windows.

1288
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if I can bet an under again,

1289
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 5: but you're probably right, James, You're probably right.

1290
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Seamus, good stuff as always. Man, enjoyed

1291
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: the day. We'll catch you soon.

1292
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 7: Thanks, have a good one, guys, good you too.

1293
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: There. He is Seamus McGee, team lead of sports Trading

1294
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: at bet MGM. That's the worst when you're on the

1295
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: under and one team score ten points and the other

1296
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: team scores fifty nine in you're.

1297
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a tough beat.

1298
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Really.

1299
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1300
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 5: I was really on the right side of that under

1301
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 5: when Incarnate Word gave up a fifty burger.

1302
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Rich, you talked about the NFL, Right, we got

1303
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: a doubleheader today, so if we dive into that first up,

1304
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: we've got the Texans at the Chiefs. This line has

1305
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: moved a ton. At the beginning of the week, we

1306
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: didn't know about Mahomes. Was he gonna be healthy for

1307
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: this one? Was he gonna play the Chiefs? Were what

1308
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: a three point underdog?

1309
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 6: I got Chiefs plus three?

1310
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 3: How about that?

1311
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: That's great value? Great wowue and the Chiefs now they're

1312
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: favored by three and a half. This stands out to me.

1313
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes seventeenth in passer rating, c J. Stroud twentieth

1314
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: in passer rating this season.

1315
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 3: C J.

1316
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Stroud's passer rating is eighty nine. That's well below league average.

1317
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: That's not good. But the thing I really hone in

1318
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: on is I think they're too much trash being talked

1319
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes. Again, this is not straw man. I

1320
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: hear these things on talk shows where it's like, watch

1321
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes doing I'm Mahomes just mediocre, man, He's having a

1322
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: bad year. Let the playoffs roll around. Okay, you think

1323
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: he's just mediocre now, like because he's having a down year.

1324
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous to me. If you don't think this guy

1325
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: is fully capable of turning it on and playing great

1326
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: football when it matters most you've completely forgotten everything that

1327
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: you've seen. And note about Patrick Mahomes.

1328
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 4: Also remember he only needs to win two games to

1329
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 4: be in the super Bowl. I mean, the Chiefs are

1330
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 4: gonna have the one seed lockdown in the NFC. They're

1331
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 4: gonna get to play those games at home, where it's

1332
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 4: been a house of horrors for any team that's visited

1333
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 4: in his conference or otherwise since he's started as a Chief.

1334
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 4: So I agree with you. I don't think the magic

1335
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 4: is gone. The Mahomes magic is gone. I will say

1336
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 4: this though, regular season Mahomes over the past two seasons,

1337
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 4: the majority of these game games, he's looked very mortal.

1338
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 4: He does not look like playoffs Mahomes in the regular season.

1339
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's complacency. I don't know

1340
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 4: if it's the fact that defenses have smartened up and

1341
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 4: that clutch gene turns on at the right time and

1342
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 4: he gets the job done. But he's really struggling more

1343
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 4: against what defensive game planning has done to him. And

1344
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 4: these games have been tighter this season. So I love

1345
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 4: if there's points to take, whether it's on the Chiefs

1346
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 4: side or the Texan side, take them because I think

1347
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a close game. I just I really

1348
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 4: don't see anybody running away with this one because all

1349
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 4: of these have been closer.

1350
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say all of them.

1351
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 4: Most of these Chiefs games have been close finishes this season.

1352
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1353
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 5: Actually last week when they covered against the Browns, it

1354
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 5: was their first cover since Week seven against the Niners. Yeah,

1355
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 5: I mean it's been you know, we're in Week sixteen.

1356
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 5: It's been a while.

1357
01:07:58,680 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1358
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: You like that. Do you ever do that karaoke style?

1359
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 6: Actually I haven't done.

1360
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just some karaoke in town one night, Brian,

1361
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 5: you and I go out, Hey, Harry, let's get crazy,

1362
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 5: you know all that?

1363
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Niners.

1364
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 5: That Niners game, it feels like forever ago, but that

1365
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 5: was you know that that game's not exactly aging like

1366
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 5: fine line. You know, the Niners haven't looked great, and

1367
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 5: this Texans team hasn't looked great in this stretch either.

1368
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 5: I mean, when I was going through the numbers on CJ.

1369
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 5: Stroud this year, so twenty eight out of thirty five

1370
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 5: qualifying quarterbacks in efficiency, I mean he's playing very below average.

1371
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 5: The offensive line has been very bad. I would say

1372
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 5: down to down.

1373
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 3: This is a.

1374
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 5: Texans offense that just hasn't been very explosive. Sam could

1375
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 5: be said about the Chiefs. They haven't scored more than

1376
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 5: twenty one points in five of their last six games.

1377
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,440
Speaker 6: So you want to talk about taking points.

1378
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, if if Kansas City's not gonna score more than

1379
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 5: twenty one, you take three and a half with with

1380
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 5: Houston they only score eighteen, and you're good. And I

1381
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 5: think just in general, this feels like a tight, close

1382
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 5: to the vest kind of game. I did very fortunate,

1383
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 5: got ahead of the Mahomes move earlier in the week,

1384
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 5: took plus three with Kansas City. I'm gonna come back

1385
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 5: on Houston plus three and a half and hopefully we

1386
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 5: get a field goal game on either side and everyone's happy.

1387
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other game is Steelers at the Ravens. Ravens

1388
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: favored by six and a half. You know what blows

1389
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: my mind. I don't know how this can even be

1390
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: a thing. The Ravens pass defense is thirty first in

1391
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: terms of passing yards giving up per game, thirty first,

1392
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: Yet they are third in sacks. Their defense is generated

1393
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: forty four sacks, so they're they're getting pressure on these quarterbacks.

1394
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: And yet they're second to dead last in past defense.

1395
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: How can that be?

1396
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 4: I Mean, the funny thing about about the Steelers, or

1397
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 4: the or the Ravens for that matter, is no matter

1398
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 4: what you think of them, they both seem to find

1399
01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 4: a way to either impress you or disappoint you in

1400
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 4: wins or losses both. Like, I know that's kind of

1401
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 4: throwing a wide net over the conversation and it feels

1402
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,640
Speaker 4: like I'm covering, but let me explain my thought process here, Like,

1403
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 4: there are so many times where Pittsburgh wins games where

1404
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 4: I'm nauseated.

1405
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 3: I think to myself, like, what did I just watch here?

1406
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 3: And then I look at.

1407
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 4: Tomlin postgame and I go, oh, yeah, I watched Mike Tomlin.

1408
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 3: Figure it out. And then you start to let it

1409
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 3: wash over you.

1410
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,759
Speaker 4: Days later, you're like, he's a Hall of Fame coach

1411
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 4: because of just the fact that he is able to

1412
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 4: frustrate you with wins. And then there are times where

1413
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 4: you fall in love with the Steelers. You're like, oh

1414
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 4: my god, he's reinvented Russell Wilson. This is what this

1415
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 4: is the scariest team in the AFC. Then look at

1416
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 4: John Harbaugh and the Ravens with Lamar Jackson.

1417
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 3: I have the same feelings towards them.

1418
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 4: Sometimes they win games and I go, the refs gave

1419
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 4: them that game, or they shouldn't have won it, but

1420
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 4: Lamar just turned turned on God mode in the end

1421
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 4: of the fourth quarter and found a way or the

1422
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 4: defense made a stop or whatever. And then sometimes in wins,

1423
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 4: I say, the Baltimore Ravens are gonna get found out

1424
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 4: in the postseason like they seemingly always do against Mahomes

1425
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 4: or the Bills or etc. It's they FC North. I

1426
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 4: think it's such a battle of attrition between these teams,

1427
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,959
Speaker 4: and there is actually so much volatility within the division

1428
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 4: they cannibalize each other. I think that as long as

1429
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,959
Speaker 4: this is such a fierce divisional battle between the Browns,

1430
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 4: the Bengals, the Ravens, the Steelers, They're going to wear

1431
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 4: out their edge before the postseason every year.

1432
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 3: I think it actually harms each of these.

1433
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 4: Teams, even when there is one dominant team in the

1434
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 4: AFC North coming out of that division. It is such

1435
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 4: a war of attrition. These teams come out battered and

1436
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,480
Speaker 4: beaten and bloodied, and when they go against prettier competition,

1437
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 4: game ready competition in the AFC side of the playoffs,

1438
01:11:56,439 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 4: they often lose because they've been through hell for six games.

1439
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 4: I love this division and hate it at the same time. Yeah,

1440
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,719
Speaker 4: market really likes Baltimore here. I agree with with Rich's sentiment.

1441
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 4: These two teams.

1442
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 5: I think Pittsburgh more than Baltimore probably peaking at the

1443
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 5: wrong time. It kind of reminds me of the Lions,

1444
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 5: Like I think, at their core, the Steelers are a

1445
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 5: good football team. Are they a great football team? Are

1446
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 5: they gonna go into Arrowhead and we're gonna find out?

1447
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 5: Are they gonna go into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs?

1448
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 5: Are they gonna go into Baltimore and beat the Ravens?

1449
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 5: Are they gonna go into Buffalo and beat the Bills

1450
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 5: in a January game? I think conventional wisdom says they're

1451
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 5: not at that level yet, but they've already beaten the

1452
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 5: Ravens this year.

1453
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 3: That was a really tight game.

1454
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 5: Steelers were a three point home dog back in Week eleven.

1455
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 3: Low.

1456
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, Justin Tucker.

1457
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 5: Missed a bunch of field goals, game went way under

1458
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 5: the total defense force three turnovers in that game. I

1459
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 5: think that's where I would focus on this game. From

1460
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 5: a betting.

1461
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 6: Perspective that so that game was played five weeks.

1462
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 5: Ago and the total was forty eight and a half. Well,

1463
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 5: now the totals forty four and a half. Like what's

1464
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 5: changed in five weeks to move the total down four points.

1465
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 5: It's the same teams on both sides, offense def in

1466
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 5: fact anything. If Pittsburgh's offense maybe a little banged up

1467
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,839
Speaker 5: with with Pickens, but their defense also banged up with Watt,

1468
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 5: and the Ravens just were a bumbling mess in that game,

1469
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 5: like they're not gonna score sixteen points and miss a

1470
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 5: bunch of field goals today, I think over forty four

1471
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 5: and a half would be my favorite bet in this game.

1472
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 5: It's tough for me to pick the side. I think

1473
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 5: Baltimore wins, but laying seven feels a little too heavy.

1474
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. It's like, come on, Baltimore, this

1475
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: is you're at home. Yeah, should have won the first

1476
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: game on the road. This is the time to get

1477
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,839
Speaker 1: your tenth win, move into you know, like pole position

1478
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 1: for the division.

1479
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

1480
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: And like George Pickens, since he's been down, Pittsburgh's offense

1481
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:59,679
Speaker 1: has done nothing. Nothing. It's like if the Ravens pass

1482
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: defense can finally show up. This is the time to

1483
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: do it. And the other last little thing I'll throw

1484
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: out there. Lamar Jackson has put up numbers. He's been

1485
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: fantastic this regular season. Thirty four touchdown passes, three interceptions.

1486
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: He leads the league in passer rating at one twenty

1487
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: point seven. Those are sick numbers. Should he win the MVP, No,

1488
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: absolutely not. It should be Josh Allen.

1489
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 3: I heard some pushback. I agree with you, but I

1490
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 3: heard some pushback for this. Yeah.

1491
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: But the thing I would like to point out is

1492
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: we were talking about Mahomes in the earlier game compared

1493
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: to Lamar in the later game. I have far more

1494
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: questions about Lamar in the playoffs than I do Mahomes, like,

1495
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 1: not even close. In their regular seasons have been the

1496
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: opposite of each other. But Lamar has thrown six touchdowns

1497
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: six interceptions in the playoffs. He's two and four in

1498
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I have way more questions about him than

1499
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:48,759
Speaker 1: I do Mahomes.

1500
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 3: I completely agree with that.

1501
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 4: I look, Mahomes is a playoff winning machine, and you

1502
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 4: can spotlight the Chiefs being a very talented group, but

1503
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 4: it's that's really him. I mean Tom Brady with the

1504
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 4: Patriots versus Tom Brady without or should say versus the

1505
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,919
Speaker 4: Patriots without Tom Brady. Completely different teams, completely different makeups.

1506
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 4: The quarterback can make a huge difference, especially in the postseason.

1507
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 4: His composure is unlike any we've seen outside of the Goat. So, yeah,

1508
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I think Mahomes and Lamar are completely

1509
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 4: different levels when it comes to the postseason conversation.

1510
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have been. Lamar has been the a Rod

1511
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Alex Rodriguez. Yeah, great regular season and

1512
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,679
Speaker 1: then for far too long in the playoffs, a whole

1513
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: lot of nothing, but a whole lot of nothing. He's

1514
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: got to change that when we get there. Hey, our

1543
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 5: Will Howard's passing yard two.

1544
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 6: Thirty four and a half.

1545
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 3: Big number.

1546
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 5: And I know what you're thinking. Well, if you like

1547
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 5: Ohio State in the game, then you probably like Will

1548
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 5: Howard to go over.

1549
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 4: Eh.

1550
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 3: Not necessarily. Game script could dictate the fact that this might.

1551
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 6: Be a lower scoring game.

1552
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 5: The total forty six, so we're expecting a lower scoring

1553
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 5: game to begin with.

1554
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 6: And I don't trust Chip Kelly.

1555
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 5: I said it. I don't trust them as far as

1556
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 5: I can throw them, and I don't think I can

1557
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 5: throw them very far. I don't think they're gonna give

1558
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 5: him the keys or I don't think the Chip is

1559
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 5: gonna give Will the keys to the offense in this spot.

1560
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 5: I think this is gonna be run, run, run, Let

1561
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 5: Nico make the first mistake freshman quarterback on the road

1562
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 5: in a tough spot. And I think under two thirty

1563
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 5: four and a half is the prop bet I like

1564
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 5: for Ohio State and Tennessee.

1565
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 4: All right, not amazing value on this, but it does

1566
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 4: feel like a lock in my brain, So I'm gonna

1567
01:17:55,640 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 4: throw it out there. Penn State taking on SMU, you

1568
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 4: have Drue Aller, you have an SMU Mustangs defense that

1569
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 4: has a hard time stopping the explosive play, and you.

1570
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 3: Have big game Drew.

1571
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 4: If it's small game, James, I'm gonna say big game, Drew.

1572
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 4: I like the way he's shown up in some of

1573
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 4: these games. I don't always love the game plan, but

1574
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:19,719
Speaker 4: I like the fight in this guy, and I think

1575
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 4: that they're going to be early and active in the

1576
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 4: passing game. So give me Aller over his one and

1577
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 4: a half passing touchdowns in this game. Minus won thirty

1578
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:29,560
Speaker 4: most places.

1579
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 3: But I love it.

1580
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 4: I love it, I love it, I love it true

1581
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:33,679
Speaker 4: Aller all day.

1582
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 1: Okay, So I look at this Ohio State game differently,

1583
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm wrong, but I'm taking Quinchawn Judkins under

1584
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: fifty four and a half rushing yards for a couple

1585
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: of reasons. You look at Ohio States offensive line, down

1586
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: their center, down their left tackle. Tennessee's defensive front is real,

1587
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: it's good, it's deep. And I look at Ohio State.

1588
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: They tried to be the more physical team against Michigan

1589
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: and it failed miserably. I think Chip throws it more today.

1590
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Gamescript to your point, Jared, if Ohio State has a lead,

1591
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: maybe they're trying to run it more late and it

1592
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 1: sneaks over but more. Their home run hitter has been

1593
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: Trayveon Henderson. I like Judkins under fifty four and a

1594
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: half rushing yards today against the Falls. I think it's

1595
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: funny though, how the sweat is completely different whether you

1596
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,480
Speaker 1: on the over or the under. If you're on Judkins

1597
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: under and he rushes for eight yards, you're like, tackle him,

1598
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 1: tackle him.

1599
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1600
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: If you're on the over, you're like, don't give the

1601
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: ball to Henderson, give Judkins.

1602
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1603
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 4: And you know what, Honestly, selfishly, I was seeking out

1604
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 4: a Penn State over that I could really get.

1605
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 5: You don't say it, don't say this one.

1606
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 4: This one felt like the one for me. But but yeah,

1607
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 4: I mean I would way rather sweat go over and

1608
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 4: be praying for rain than the officer.

1609
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 3: And everything Tyler Warren today.

1610
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a stud man, no doubt about that. Coming

1611
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 1: up next, this is probably the dumbest question of the day. Ah, yes,

1612
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: good morning. We are what we are one hour away

1613
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,759
Speaker 1: from kickoff? We got SMU take it on Penn State

1614
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: up first on TNT. Yeah, huh wow, a little different here.

1615
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: It's the twelve team playoff era TNT broadcasting games. I

1616
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: think it's an ESPN crew, is it not. It just

1617
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: happens to be on TNT.

1618
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 3: Do whatever.

1619
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. When we get there. But let's

1620
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: look at the nightcap here, nine seed Tennessee against the

1621
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 1: eight seed Ohio State. Just saying that out loud feels weird.

1622
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: The eight seed Ohio State. That's what happens when you

1623
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 1: get smacked by Michigan. Ohio State is favored by seven

1624
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,879
Speaker 1: in this one. This has to easily be the dumbest

1625
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: question of the entire week. This was not made up.

1626
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: These were on actual shows. I got actual alerts on

1627
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: my phone, like, hey, check out this video. Is Ryan

1628
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: Day coaching for his job against Tennessee. It's like, yeah,

1629
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: he is. How is that even a question? Can you

1630
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: imagine Ryan Day he lost to Michigan again and then

1631
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: maybe being the only home team to lose in the

1632
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: first round of the playoff, and he's still the head

1633
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: coach at Ohio State. How is this actually a question?

1634
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 1: There is no chance that happens. That's only built on

1635
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: an if. If Ohio State were to lose, he's gone.

1636
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: He's done. Of course, he's coaching for his job today.

1637
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 3: You're always coaching for your job.

1638
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 4: This is a results driven business, and the results for

1639
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 4: Ohio State have been poor in some of the bigger

1640
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,640
Speaker 4: moments of his coaching.

1641
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 3: Career at Ohio State.

1642
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 4: Especially consider it's almost like it's podium fodder. It's important

1643
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 4: you understand the rivalry, but it's also important that what

1644
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 4: you do within that rivalry strikes the right chord with

1645
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 4: the fan base. Michigan is a different game than any

1646
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 4: other game on the schedule, including playoffs. It's weighted differently,

1647
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 4: it feels differently. Couple losing to Michigan with being knocked

1648
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:31,759
Speaker 4: down close to tenth ranked in the country heading into

1649
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 4: the postseason, and then lose in the opening round.

1650
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 3: Of the playoffs.

1651
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 4: There's no way, I one thousand percent, there isn't even

1652
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 4: a flinch in my heart. If Ohio State loses this game,

1653
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 4: there are going to be backroom conversations, maybe front room conversations.

1654
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 4: Some of these conversations may happen in front of him

1655
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 4: with the door open, about his future as the head

1656
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 4: coach of the Buck guys.

1657
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's an obvious one. I think if

1658
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 5: you go back to the the like the Michigan game,

1659
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 5: I think there were people who wanted to fire him

1660
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 5: right right there on the spot, like literally.

1661
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I think the board of trustees might have.

1662
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,719
Speaker 5: Actually done it if they could have for this game,

1663
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 5: I agree with what Shamis said earlier, like Ohio State

1664
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 5: definitely in terms of the fade, the public, the need,

1665
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 5: they are definitely front and center. But I still see

1666
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 5: some variance to this game, especially because it's a very

1667
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 5: I thought of the of the three today, I actually

1668
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 5: thought this was the toughest to cap because of the

1669
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 5: wild card that is Chip Kelly in this offense, and

1670
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 5: Brian and I see it in different ways with with

1671
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 5: with how Chip's gonna go about it. So the context

1672
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 5: is he came out after the Michigan game and admitted, Hey,

1673
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 5: I need to get the ball to my playmakers.

1674
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,799
Speaker 6: More like yeah, no, no, dull you got.

1675
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 5: You've got three of the best receivers in the sport

1676
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 5: and you're slamming it into the box against the top

1677
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 5: twenty rushing defense like time and time again. But in

1678
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:06,719
Speaker 5: order to trust your receivers, you have to trust Will Howard,

1679
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 5: and I think that's the crux of this. I think

1680
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 5: they don't fully trust Will Howard to make the right reads,

1681
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 5: make the right throws, not defecate down his leg.

1682
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,520
Speaker 6: And you have to also throw in another.

1683
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 5: Offensive line combination for Ohio State this week, Luke Montgomery's

1684
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 5: gonna start at left guard. Mean, now he's had three

1685
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,799
Speaker 5: weeks to get reveed up, but he's only had seventy

1686
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 5: seven snaps the whole year. Now he's a top five player,

1687
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 5: you know. I think he was the number two player

1688
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 5: in like the state of Ohio, but still a very

1689
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 5: new offensive lineman in another new situation. I still think

1690
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 5: Ohio State wins this game. Do they cover? Probably? I

1691
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 5: bet it because Seame has told me to. But I'm

1692
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 5: scared backing Will Howard and Chip Kelly. I don't fully

1693
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 5: trust it because I don't fully trust Will.

1694
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 3: And it's gonna be interesting to see how.

1695
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 5: Much of the of the keys the carte blanche Will

1696
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 5: has in this game. If they throw it early and

1697
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 5: they're aggressive. Yeah, Ohio State's probably gonna win this game.

1698
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 5: But I also see you a scenario where Hypel and

1699
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 5: Ryan Day in the fourth quarter are just kind of

1700
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 5: sitting there staring at each other, having a you know

1701
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 5: which team's gonna make the first mistake kind of moment.

1702
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 5: So low total game feels like a feels like a

1703
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 5: fun football game. But I do think Ohio State wins.

1704
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: I would argue of these three playoff games, the team

1705
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: that needs to run the ball effectively the most is Tennessee.

1706
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

1707
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: I would argue it's them because Dylan Samson is their guy.

1708
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: His rushing prop is at ninety two and a half.

1709
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: They lean on him heavily. If you look at the

1710
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: passing game, they're wide, receivers are banged up, They've had

1711
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: their issues. Nico IAmA Layava. His passing yardage prop is

1712
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: at one eighty and a half. That's really low. And

1713
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You're on the road. You've got to

1714
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 1: be able to, you know, keep your defense off the

1715
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 1: field against a very talented offense. Again, you don't want

1716
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: the shoe to get into it right. The best way

1717
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 1: you do that is control the ball, time of possession,

1718
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: run it. And when your offense is heavily built upon

1719
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: Dylan Samson, you've got to be able to run the ball.

1720
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. I don't love Will Howard.

1721
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: I hear everything that you're saying, Jared, but ask yourself this.

1722
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: If Ohio State's running game is held in check and

1723
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee's running game is held in check, who has the advantage.

1724
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: It's Ohio State. Look at their receivers compared to Tennessee's receivers.

1725
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: So Tennessee has got to run it today.

1726
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 4: Tennessee's got to run it. They've got to shorten this

1727
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 4: ball game. I think Ohio State overall probably the more

1728
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:51,680
Speaker 4: explosive team, but Tennessee they can grind out some production

1729
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 4: with Sampson. And like you said, that's pretty heavy rush total.

1730
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,560
Speaker 4: But Sampson's earned it, and I do mean earned it.

1731
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 4: If you look at his yards after contact after first contact,

1732
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 4: he's averaging over three and a half yards per carry.

1733
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 4: And this isn't a great offensive line. They struggle more

1734
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 4: in the pass protection game than they do opening up

1735
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 4: lanes for Samson, but they're not perfect upfront, so he's

1736
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 4: had a bit be a war course for them a

1737
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 4: little bit. But say, let's put it this way, say

1738
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 4: Ohio State has a slow first half, establishing themselves downfield,

1739
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 4: Tennessee plays over their head defensively for a half. I

1740
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 4: think this could be one of those second halfs where,

1741
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:41,799
Speaker 4: just like you said, Jared, you could have who makes

1742
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 4: the first mistake or the last mistake type of situation

1743
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter that determines the outcome of this game.

1744
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 4: I think if Tennessee is able to establish the run

1745
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 4: and eat up a bunch of the clock and feature

1746
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 4: Sampson the way they want to because sixty one percent

1747
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,880
Speaker 4: of their snap from scrimmage our run plays. Wow, So

1748
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 4: that's what they want to do. This is going to

1749
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 4: be a long, hard day for the Buckeyes, and I

1750
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 4: don't think that's what they wanted first rattle out of

1751
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 4: the box in the CFP, especially after the horror show.

1752
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 3: That ended their regular season.

1753
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the big reason for imolov Is prop

1754
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 5: to be really low is really what's going on at

1755
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 5: receiver for Tennessee. He got four of the ten scholarship

1756
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 5: receivers they've entered the portal. He got three players in

1757
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 5: practice this week wearing red non contact jerseys at just

1758
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 5: at the receiver position. And then you've got the Dylan

1759
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 5: Samson effect. So Nico, you know, we saw him in

1760
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:40,719
Speaker 5: this spot on the road at Georgia.

1761
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 3: They struggled.

1762
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 5: He took five sacks, He had five point one yards

1763
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 5: per play, yards per attempt, that was a season low.

1764
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 5: So he hasn't really done the job when they've managed

1765
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,799
Speaker 5: up in class. Tennessee's offense is a very different animal

1766
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 5: in conference play compared to add a conference play. In

1767
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 5: against the Cupcakes, they have a six hundred yards per

1768
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 5: game two points per game. Then they went to conference

1769
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 5: play twenty five points per game, less than four hundred

1770
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 5: yards per game two and a half yards per carry,

1771
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 5: less in conference games than in non conference games. This

1772
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 5: Ohio State defense is on that top tier SEC level.

1773
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 5: I think if you were going to grade the units

1774
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 5: on the field in this game, I put Ohio State's

1775
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 5: defense at the top of all four units.

1776
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1777
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 5: I feel the same way about Texas defense too, Like

1778
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 5: this is if you like offense, this might not be

1779
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 5: the CFP game for you.

1780
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 6: And that being.

1781
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 5: Said, though, Ohio State's defense big spot against Oregon, big

1782
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 5: spot against Michigan, I mean the Michigan game in the

1783
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 5: second half, the last two drives fifteen plays seventy seven

1784
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 5: yards nine minutes ended on that goal line pick. Then

1785
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 5: the game winning field goal drive eleven plays fifty seven

1786
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 5: yards five and a half minutes. Like that's winning time

1787
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 5: and Ohio State's defense folding like a ten.

1788
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 3: Here's the scenario that's intriguing here.

1789
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 5: If Tennessee starts fast and Ohio State struggles, does the

1790
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 5: home field advantage for Ohio State turn right? Because of

1791
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 5: what happened to Michigan in the Michigan game and what's

1792
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 5: happened lately. That's what that's what would scare me for

1793
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 5: being the home team today. If it doesn't start well

1794
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 5: for the Buckeyes, that crowd could turn. There's a ton

1795
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 5: of orange and whatever colors they have in Columbus today

1796
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 5: because obviously the SEC travels and it's not a huge

1797
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,440
Speaker 5: trip to get from Knoxville to Columbus.

1798
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 1: I hear you. It's gonna sound like I don't, but

1799
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 1: I do. I hear you on this one, Jared. But

1800
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 1: here's what it reminds me of. Remember when the Steelers

1801
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 1: they started off four and two and Mike Tomlin made

1802
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: the change to Russell Wilson and a lot of us

1803
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: felt like, wow, justin fields isn't any good. But they're

1804
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: four and two. If Russell Wilson struggles, immediately, they're gonna

1805
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,840
Speaker 1: boo the guy. And that's exactly what happened. They went

1806
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: three and out. He had a couple of bad throws,

1807
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: Boo boo, and then what happened. He turned it around.

1808
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: He played great that first game and the booze went away.

1809
01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 1: So that's my thing. I hear you. I think if

1810
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: Ohio's they start slowly, you could hear I'm on boo alert,

1811
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 1: boo alert again boom. But yeah, is it gonna remain? Right?

1812
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:13,639
Speaker 1: Is Tennessee good enough to keep Ohio State down? Because

1813
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: it's one thing for a couple of booze early on,

1814
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 1: but will Tennessee sustain that good play where those boos remain?

1815
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 1: And I have doubts that'll be the case, right, Like,

1816
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: That's that's what I think. The other thing is, I'm

1817
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 1: really curious about the ratings today. We know NFL is

1818
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: king their ratings are gonna be huge. But when you said, Jared,

1819
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: and I agree with you, this Ohio State Tennessee matchup, right,

1820
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 1: if you love offense, this might not be the game

1821
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 1: for you. You really don't want that when you're going

1822
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:46,800
Speaker 1: head to head with the NFL, right, Like, So I'll

1823
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: be really interested to see what the ratings are at

1824
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: the end of the day.

1825
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1826
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,519
Speaker 4: And also, I think that Tennessee defensively does some good

1827
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 4: things against what Ohio State's gonna want to do, especially

1828
01:31:57,479 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 4: in their run game. They love that outside zone. Let's

1829
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 4: get everybody running, get some of these defenders on skis,

1830
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:06,599
Speaker 4: find a lane, for our running backs and then build

1831
01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 4: some play action off of that, or RPO game off

1832
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 4: of that, or bubble screen off of that. Like Chip

1833
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 4: Kelly likes to likes to do and move fast. But

1834
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 4: this edge defense for Tennessee does a really nice job

1835
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 4: of bottling up the outside zone. And so you're gonna

1836
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 4: see more of a chess match. If I've got this

1837
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 4: guest correctly, like you two, then you're going to see

1838
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 4: an offensive explosion or a shootout.

1839
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:35,799
Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be a lot.

1840
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 4: More crafted and slow, and the play is gonna happen

1841
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 4: closer to the line of scrimmage rather than downfield. And

1842
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:48,879
Speaker 4: I do think the more methodical, mistake free team wins,

1843
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 4: which is not sexy. It's not what you're hoping for

1844
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 4: in a college football playoff, but it is a reality

1845
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,640
Speaker 4: of football, and sometimes it's the team that plays the

1846
01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:02,960
Speaker 4: cleanest football that wins. And in this case, undoubtedly, I

1847
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 4: think the winner is going to be the cleanest football team.

1848
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 4: I don't think you're gonna be able to turn over

1849
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 4: the ball twice and win this game for either the

1850
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 4: Balls or the Buckeyes.

1851
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't, you know. I'm gonna be watching.

1852
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 6: I'll have That's why God right, the multiple screens. Yes,

1853
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 6: I don't want to.

1854
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,679
Speaker 5: Hear any oh I can't believe the NFL is trying

1855
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:25,280
Speaker 5: to infringe on the college football more football than marry Baby,

1856
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 5: let's go bring it on. But I could care less

1857
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 5: of this game six to three. Honestly, I think it

1858
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 5: has so much intrigue behind it because of like of

1859
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 5: the of the college football playoff games this weekend, I

1860
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 5: think it's fair to say that these are the two

1861
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,720
Speaker 5: biggest brands. I know, Clemson and Texas you know, have

1862
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 5: their say, but I put Tennessee and Ohio State slightly

1863
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,679
Speaker 5: in front of Clemson and Texas in terms of brand

1864
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 5: recognition in college football just slightly, and SEC big ten.

1865
01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 5: You know, you get this just dichotomy of powerhouses going

1866
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 5: up against each other. So even if the game itself

1867
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 5: is not an exciting one in terms of high scoring

1868
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 5: or clean football, I think just the intrigue, the drama.

1869
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 6: It's like an episode of Downton Abbey. I don't know

1870
01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 6: if you guys are fans of that, Like, it's.

1871
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 5: Not gonna be a blockbuster action in that episode, but

1872
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:24,799
Speaker 5: it's every word that they say is dripping with drama.

1873
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 6: That is what I am intrigued to see.

1874
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 5: How Ryan Day handles this moment, how will Howard and

1875
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 5: Chip Kelly handle this offense, how a freshman quarterback handles

1876
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 5: what could be a very interesting environment, and of course

1877
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 5: just the pageantry.

1878
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 6: Of college football.

1879
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 3: Like that was my biggest takeaway from last night.

1880
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 5: I know, Indiana didn't really meet expectations, but you know

1881
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:50,799
Speaker 5: what did meet expectations the environment at a home site

1882
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,280
Speaker 5: college football playoff game. The game itself was kind of

1883
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,639
Speaker 5: a dud, but everything else, the pageantry was just top notch.

1884
01:34:58,200 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1885
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 1: It's like if anybody asks me, hey, are you watching

1886
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: the NFL or college football today, I'm like.

1887
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:08,719
Speaker 5: Yes, both, yes, and also the FCS and maybe even

1888
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 5: throwing college.

1889
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 1: Basketball maybe Abby right, I'm sold. But that's the thing though,

1890
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: not everybody goes multi screen. You know, they will pick

1891
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: between the NFL and college football. It happens quite a bit. Hey.

1892

01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:54,439

1916
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:52,360
Speaker 1: so let me give you a silly rant for a

1917
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 1: second here. Okay, now this is let me preface it. It's

1918
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 1: not a big deal, but it's something, yes, that I

1919
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: noticed time and time again. The ESPN College Football Playoff bracket. Okay,

1920
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:10,280
Speaker 1: at the top of the teams that have a BUYE

1921
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: they have number four Arizona State on top, and then

1922
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 1: below that they have number one Oregon. Why like, think

1923
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 1: of March Madness. Think of a March Madness bracket. You

1924
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: always have the number one seed at the top. Why

1925
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,960
Speaker 1: are we switching this for the college football Playoff? I'm

1926
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: used to number one at the top, number two at

1927
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 1: the bottom. You know how it plays out. Why are

1928
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: we doing it different for the college football Playoff?

1929
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:41,799
Speaker 4: What's the points? I agree with you, And this isn't

1930
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 4: a little thing in my brain. It's a big thing.

1931
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:50,719
Speaker 4: And I think it's a marketing strategy and it's being

1932
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:53,639
Speaker 4: different for the sake of being different. I honestly do,

1933
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 4: I really honestly do. It's like, look, I get it.

1934
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,960
Speaker 4: You know you already have A cola that hit the market,

1935
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 4: and you want to be new and different in something else,

1936
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 4: but PEPSI don't overthink the room. Just just just just

1937
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 4: make a brown carbonated liquid that has a little caffeine

1938
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 4: and some syrups and sugars and spices and people like it,

1939
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 4: you know, And so they do, and they've been number

1940
01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 4: two forever and that ain't bad. Look is your bracket

1941
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 4: as good as college basketball?

1942
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 3: No?

1943
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 4: But the wheel is round because it works. Don't reinvent it.

1944
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 3: Let's get rolling here. Yes, how about RC Cola. I'm

1945
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:32,679
Speaker 3: an RC Cola guy myself. Are you really?

1946
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 5: I mean I was so when I lived in Philly

1947
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,759
Speaker 5: there was this little small cafe that had RC Cola

1948
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:38,839
Speaker 5: on fountain.

1949
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I know that was a special time in.

1950
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 1: My Life's like casino man, wheeze the juice, remember that

1951
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: I love the off brand call doctor Thunder.

1952
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:51,640
Speaker 3: You know what?

1953
01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 1: This reminds me of the two minute timeout? Yes, the

1954
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 1: same thing.

1955
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:58,680
Speaker 3: Let's be different.

1956
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:00,719
Speaker 4: Forever.

1957
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: Let's be college football called it a two minute time out?

1958
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:04,760
Speaker 3: What's the like?

1959
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 6: Honestly that I don't even understand?

1960
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 1: What?

1961
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 3: Like?

1962
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 6: Who cares? What's is warning about?

1963
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 1: Really?

1964
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 7: No?

1965
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 4: Like?

1966
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:11,719
Speaker 1: Warning is fine?

1967
01:39:11,880 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 3: Stick with that.

1968
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:14,479
Speaker 1: We all know it. It's a two minute warning.

1969
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 3: And when the.

1970
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 1: Bracket is shown on ESPN, half Oregon the top seed

1971
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: at the what do we do it? You know what

1972
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:22,600
Speaker 1: it is?

1973
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 3: What is it?

1974
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,120
Speaker 5: It's just for shure, it's just so we can it's

1975
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 5: a dog and pony show and not the good Jackpot

1976
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:29,760
Speaker 5: kind of dog.

1977
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, jeez. By the way, my leg tattoo is still

1978
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:37,759
Speaker 1: around when jack oh it's around.

1979
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry, but I need to be fair. I

1980
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,639
Speaker 5: have many of them from him. I'm not gonna play

1981
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:44,360
Speaker 5: right now.

1982
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 1: I would rather have Jackpot be excited to see me

1983
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,680
Speaker 1: and scratch the hell out of me than just be

1984
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 1: different in no scratches, shacked up to see you. Yeah

1985
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 1: he was, he was fired up. Okay, So three college

1986
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 1: football playoff games today, two NFL games A la carte

1987
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 1: may you can go in whatever direction you would want.

1988
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:08,719
Speaker 1: First up, obviously you're Nitney Lyons hosting SMU. I would

1989
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 1: imagine you got some thoughts on that one. I'm gonna

1990
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 1: get out of your way. What do you think here?

1991
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:13,439
Speaker 3: All right?

1992
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 4: So, I think this is actually going to be a

1993
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 4: pretty good game if SMU shows up and puts up

1994
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:24,080
Speaker 4: a fight in the first half. If their defense can

1995
01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 4: hold a little bit and their offense can score that

1996
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 4: this could be This could be a fun one.

1997
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 3: I don't predict it going this way.

1998
01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 4: I think this is And again I'm trying to exclude

1999
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 4: the fact when I'm doing my analysis of this game,

2000
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 4: the fact that I do have a dog in the fight,

2001
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 4: and I hope that Penn State wins. But I think

2002
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,240
Speaker 4: this could be the biggest blowout of the day. I

2003
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 4: think SMU may be somewhat overrated heading into this game.

2004
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,599
Speaker 4: I think they could get their I think they could

2005
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:00,920
Speaker 4: get their doors blown off here. So I hope for

2006
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,679
Speaker 4: a better game than that. I hope it's not a laugher.

2007
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 4: I hope that the CFP, you know, committee got this right,

2008
01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 4: putting them in their place. But I just I don't

2009
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 4: see it that way. So my thought process is Penn

2010
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 4: State Penn State by.

2011
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:19,479
Speaker 3: A lot in this one.

2012
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 5: I do think we might see And we're chatting with

2013
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:26,080
Speaker 5: our friend Crack and he just gave us a little,

2014
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 5: a little nugget that he chimed in. He thinks SMU

2015
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 5: is going to get the ball first because of the

2016
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 5: coin flip situation. So I'm assuming and I haven't looked

2017
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 5: this up, but this is something we've talked about before.

2018
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 5: I think the Packers did it once. Yeah, where they

2019
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,679
Speaker 5: always take the ball and the other team always defers.

2020
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 3: And if SMU, like the common.

2021
01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 5: Trend is defer, always defer, and I guess SMU is

2022
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 5: not one of those teams. They like to take the ball.

2023
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:54,680
Speaker 5: So whoever wins the toss. If Penn State wins the toss,

2024
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 5: they're going to defer. If SMU wins the toss, they're

2025
01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:59,040
Speaker 5: going to take the ball. So SMU plus a field

2026
01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 5: goal in the first quarter might be an interesting bet

2027
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 5: in that regard. But full game, I think we're gonna

2028
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 5: see a similar vibe to what we saw last night.

2029
01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 5: I do think the favorites are chalky today, but I

2030
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 5: do think the favorites all win and cover. I don't

2031
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 5: think we see that big, which is ironic because all year,

2032
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:21,839
Speaker 5: what have we seen in college football chaos, upsets, parody.

2033
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 5: I think that's coming, but I just think we don't

2034
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 5: have as many good teams to fill the playoff this

2035
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 5: year as we needed. You put Alabama in that game

2036
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,599
Speaker 5: last night, they probably lose to Like I think there's

2037
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:36,439
Speaker 5: maybe six teams that are really good and collegroable this year.

2038
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 6: Everyone else was just very average.

2039
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 5: And I don't think SMU or Clemson or even Tennessee

2040
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 5: frankly are in that class just yet when they have

2041
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:48,599
Speaker 5: to step up, go on the road, manage these tough

2042
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 5: environments and play good football. So I think, if you're

2043
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 5: gonna ask me blanket today, Schmorgesborg, I would say the favorites,

2044
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:57,759
Speaker 5: I would lean to the chalk today.

2045
01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's the thing is, that's why I can't

2046
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: continue to bang this drum. I wish that all these

2047
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 1: college football playoff games were home games, except for the

2048
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: championship game. I might have it just like the NFL,

2049
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: because play this out. What's gonna happen? We saw yesterday

2050
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: with IU. You might have some SEC teams say our

2051
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 1: conference is tough enough. Why are we scheduling up in

2052
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:23,040
Speaker 1: the non conference?

2053
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:23,360
Speaker 3: Why?

2054
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:27,759
Speaker 1: You know? And I think if you if you battle

2055
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,519
Speaker 1: it out through throughout the regular season, like Oregon should

2056
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 1: be playing at home when next week rolls around. Not

2057
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, right, Like what's a Rosebul's probably bad

2058
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 1: exit that's one of the best atmospheres there is. But

2059
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:44,640
Speaker 1: would you rather see, you know, Arizona State host a

2060
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 1: game or the Blue Turf at Boise State, or would

2061
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 1: you rather see the Peach Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl.

2062
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 1: It's like it's getting in the way here. I think

2063
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 1: if you handle business in the regular season, you should

2064
01:43:56,360 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 1: be massively awarded in the postseason. Getting a neutral site

2065
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 1: game is not a massive reward. Getting a home game

2066
01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 1: is a massive reward. It shouldn't just be for the

2067
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: first round.

2068
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

2069
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 4: I one hundred percent agree with you, and I think

2070
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 4: you can still wrap these games with corporate sponsors and

2071
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 4: make good on all these agreements. You know, it's it's

2072
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 4: gonna be played at Albertson Stadium in Boise, Idaho. But

2073
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 4: it is the whatever, the John Deere Bowl. I mean,

2074
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 4: call it whatever you want. It's just it's so silly

2075
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,559
Speaker 4: to me that these teams who fought their ass off

2076
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:37,800
Speaker 4: and played hard throughout the season are rewarded by, in

2077
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 4: certain cases across country trip.

2078
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2079
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 4: You know, imagine if you are the number one team

2080
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 4: in the nation and just because of the bull draw

2081
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 4: this year, you're gonna end up in the Orange Bowl

2082
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 4: and your West Coast team, It's like, what, It's just

2083
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:55,639
Speaker 4: it is it a cool trip? Absolutely are the players

2084
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 4: gonna be fond of the memories that they have going

2085
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:01,559
Speaker 4: on the road and staying in different location. Sure that

2086
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,719
Speaker 4: that's all part of the pomp and circumstance of being

2087
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 4: a winning team, and those are those are some cool,

2088
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 4: cool things, cool moments that come with being a college athlete.

2089
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 4: But the more and more the wheel turns towards this

2090
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:19,639
Speaker 4: being professional athletics at the collegiate level, which it is,

2091
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 4: and we have to start treating this like like like

2092
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 4: the NFL does, and the NFL awards advantages to to

2093
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:35,800
Speaker 4: teams that had better regular season seating wise, then they

2094
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 4: do other teams for obvious reasons, because otherwise it's like

2095
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 4: what's the what's the point a little bit, you could

2096
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 4: make a strong argument for fighting for a lower seat

2097
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 4: for an easier path because you don't have home field

2098
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:49,839
Speaker 4: advantage anyways.

2099
01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, Now, the NFL does have their works too with

2100
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:57,160
Speaker 5: the stupid division, you know, the yeah, you know, like,

2101
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 5: like the seating issues still exist, and I think these

2102
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 5: issues will continue to exist in the college game too,

2103
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,360
Speaker 5: But we're evolving, we're changing, we're learning. There was a

2104
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 5: lot of pushback about the seeds this year and Arizona

2105
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,600
Speaker 5: State and Boise State getting buys like I think eventually

2106
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 5: these wrinkles will get ironed out. Let's be honest, this

2107
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 5: is an imperfect system. Of course, it's an imperfect system.

2108
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 5: There's no perfections unattainable. But in general, I do say

2109
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:26,640
Speaker 5: what you want about we did at the beginning of

2110
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 5: the show, like the committee got the teams right. Do

2111
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 5: I wish the game was better last night? Of course

2112
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 5: we all do, but SMU Indiana. These teams were the

2113
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 5: more deserving teams this year. But when they manage up

2114
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:41,800
Speaker 5: and go on the road as eighteen to twenty two

2115
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 5: year old or in Curtis Ork's case, a twenty four

2116
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 5: year old kid might do get a little rattled, get

2117
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 5: a little rattled by the moment. And I think that's

2118
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 5: what we're gonna notice today with the home field. We

2119
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:54,160
Speaker 5: saw it last night. Indiana was rattled early in that game.

2120
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 5: It took them probably the whole first half to get

2121
01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 5: settled in, and by the time they did, it.

2122
01:46:57,960 --> 01:46:58,519
Speaker 1: Was too late.

2123
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 6: The question is can the home teams take advantage of that?

2124
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:05,160
Speaker 5: Notre Dame did last night, Ken Ohio State, Conpen State,

2125
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,599
Speaker 5: Can Texas take advantage of that? You know, Clemson especially,

2126
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 5: I would say Clemson and SMU would be the two

2127
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,640
Speaker 5: teams that will be the most rattle, just more so

2128
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 5: SMU because they haven't played in these environments this year,

2129
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:18,639
Speaker 5: where Tennessee has in the SEC. What is that mental

2130
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 5: state going to be? But I'm with you, Brian. Homefield

2131
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:23,639
Speaker 5: is a fantastic edge for these teams.

2132
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 1: I think it would be the perfect way to make

2133
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 1: the regular season more important. Agree, Because listen, like there

2134
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:33,360
Speaker 1: are twelve teams. There are three times as many teams

2135
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs than we used to have with the

2136
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,840
Speaker 1: four team era, right, and so of course the regular

2137
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:41,280
Speaker 1: season is gonna be watered down a bit, there's more

2138
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 1: margin for error. But if you're able to, we should

2139
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 1: see it one through twelve or one through fourteen. However,

2140
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 1: many teams there are like, don't do it by you

2141
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 1: won your conference. I don't care. I don't care. If

2142
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 1: you've a ranked number twelve, you shouldn't be the fourth seed. Sorry,

2143
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,599
Speaker 1: So rank them are seedom one through twelve, one through fourteen,

2144
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:03,840
Speaker 1: and then have home field because that makes all these

2145
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:08,440
Speaker 1: regular season games important. If it equals a home playoff

2146
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 1: game when the playoff rolls around, I would absolutely do that. Now,

2147
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: let me throw this at you. I was thinking about this.

2148
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:16,920
Speaker 1: Let's do a stud of the day. We've got three

2149
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 1: college football playoff games, We've got two NFL games, so

2150
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: two separate categories. Rich will start with you college football

2151
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:27,920
Speaker 1: playoff wise, one player who you think will be talking

2152
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 1: about the most for good reasons at the end of today.

2153
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 1: Who would you say it's gonna be.

2154
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 3: I like this question.

2155
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if we have Rich, I'm gonna go.

2156
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,519
Speaker 3: I'll just I'll step in here A Rich collects himself.

2157
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 4: Okay, sorry, yeah, it must have been.

2158
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you asked me. This question floored me.

2159
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 1: Man was speechless.

2160
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 4: I do want to ask you so to clarify the

2161
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 4: study of the day, like who needs to step up?

2162
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 1: And no, no, no, not any of that. Okay, just okay,

2163
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 1: Sports Center or whatever highlight show we're leading it. Man,

2164
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 1: what a day so and so ahead. Who do you

2165
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be when it's all said and done.

2166
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 4: I love this question. I love this question a lot.

2167
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 4: And my knee jerk reaction now I'm not gonna go there.

2168
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 4: I can't do that.

2169
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: All right, you wanted to go Tylor, I can't.

2170
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:19,959
Speaker 3: I'm going.

2171
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 4: I'm going okay, I'll let you do it. By the way,

2172
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 4: I'm just letting you know mine too. Mine also is

2173
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 4: Tyler Warren. But I here's my other day. I think

2174
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 4: it's gonna be c J.

2175
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 3: Stroud. I think, I think, uh. I think.

2176
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 4: First of all, this is such a great NFL lineup

2177
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 4: on a Saturday, and it is getting a little bit

2178
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 4: backwashed by the excitement around the CFP. But these are

2179
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 4: playoff games. I mean, you and And it's a perfect

2180
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 4: segue from the conversation we were having because in the NFL,

2181
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:00,840
Speaker 4: your seating matters when when you're fighting your ass off

2182
01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:04,680
Speaker 4: for home field advantage. Home field advantage matters in the postseason,

2183
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 4: and so when you have college football programs who aren't

2184
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:13,640
Speaker 4: fighting for postseason home games, it changes the dynamic of

2185
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,960
Speaker 4: whether or not seeding actually matters in the postseason at all.

2186
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 4: But I digress on that point. My stead of the

2187
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 4: game is CJ. Stroud because the Texans could use this

2188
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:28,559
Speaker 4: win like blood. The Chiefs are fine, they're complacent. They've

2189
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 4: been winning games by narrow margins all season long. Even

2190
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:37,080
Speaker 4: when they cover, they they either look lousy or the

2191
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:41,080
Speaker 4: team they're facing looks lousy, like Jamis Winston and dtr

2192
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 4: handed them that cover. They gave them the football five

2193
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 4: times between the two of them alone.

2194
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 6: So don't don't don't miss the boat.

2195
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,599
Speaker 4: When we're talking about them covering against the Browns, They've

2196
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:57,519
Speaker 4: only had one actual cover this entire season. Other than that,

2197
01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 4: the Chiefs have stunk this season. They've been getting by

2198
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 4: by the skin of their teeth.

2199
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 3: CJ.

2200
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 4: Stroud needs a moment. This is basically a primetime spot

2201
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 4: for the Texans. He needs a moment. The Texans need

2202
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:11,800
Speaker 4: a moment. I think they're gonna have it. I think

2203
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 4: Stroud lights up this Chiefs defense.

2204
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've given Tyler Warren enough love today. I do

2205
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 5: think he has a big day. I think that's gonna

2206
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:21,680
Speaker 5: be a storyline. I want to give a shout out

2207
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 5: to Mark Gronowski, the quarterback of South Dakota State. You're

2208
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 5: not gonna hear his name leads Sports Center, but I

2209
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:29,559
Speaker 5: think he deserves more attention. This is a dude who

2210
01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 5: turned down seven figures to go play to Power for

2211
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 5: Conference because he wanted to go back to back to

2212
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 5: back at South Dakota State in the money grubbing era

2213
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 5: that is college football. For him to leave that kind

2214
01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:44,719
Speaker 5: of money on the table to stay at South Dakota

2215
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 5: State to try to win a three pet in the FCS.

2216
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:49,559
Speaker 6: Deserves a lot.

2217
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:52,360
Speaker 5: Of your attention because that is a very like that's

2218
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 5: a stand up move from him.

2219
01:51:54,200 --> 01:51:55,880
Speaker 6: Everyone's going for the money.

2220
01:51:56,360 --> 01:52:00,160
Speaker 5: Everybody's taking the payday right now in college football, not

2221
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 5: Mark Gronowski. Maybe he gets a little bit later because

2222
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 5: of that decision if he's able to win the title.

2223
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:08,120
Speaker 5: I do think South Dakota State wins today, but I

2224
01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:10,480
Speaker 5: just wanted to give a shout out to Mark Gronowski

2225
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:12,880
Speaker 5: because that is an awesome story that is in the

2226
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 5: big wash that is college football today with the NFL

2227
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:18,479
Speaker 5: and the College Fotball playoff, he won't get a lot

2228
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 5: of attention, but he deserves a lot of love for

2229
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 5: taking the high road and not the money.

2230
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:27,600
Speaker 1: I've started the day in college I'm gonna go with

2231
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 1: the Texas running back Quinn Treevian Weisner.

2232
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 4: It's a little.

2233
01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 1: Dice he taking to Texas guy, because they have so

2234
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 1: many weapons. Right, you don't know who's gonna be the

2235
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:40,160
Speaker 1: star of the day. But I think Texas has an

2236
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 1: advantage in the trench trenches. I know they do, and

2237
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:44,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to run it effectively.

2238
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 1: I could also see Jeremiah Smith having a big day

2239
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,920
Speaker 1: for Ohio State. Would it be funny if Will Howard

2240
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 1: is the guy?

2241
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:54,840
Speaker 3: I hope I lose a lot of money on that,

2242
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:56,840
Speaker 3: not Will Howard.

2243
01:52:57,680 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 1: What a day by Will Howard?

2244
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 3: Man, Wow, that would be really funny. Though.

2245
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:04,559
Speaker 1: That would be Yeah, it would be typical football if

2246
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 1: that's the case. NFL wise could be King Henry, you

2247
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:12,679
Speaker 1: know I like that. Yeah, Steelers have a good rush defense.

2248
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 1: But I'm wondering about Lamar. Lamar has historically struggled against

2249
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers, but hey, with a banged up TJ. Watt,

2250
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 1: this is a good spot for Lamar to have a

2251
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:27,559
Speaker 1: day and we'll see if he can. We'll see if

2252
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:28,760
Speaker 1: that that might be the guy.

2253
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 5: Eric Henry contract incentive props are becoming a thing. He

2254
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 5: needs some touchdowns. Maybe Derek Henry touchdown prop is.

2255
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 1: In the carts today. I could see that happening. Absolutely

2256
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,800
Speaker 1: could see that. All right, We've got Rich Hornberger, Penn State,

2257

Speaker 4: Yah.

2285
01:55:17,440 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. It makes a lot more sense right there.

2286
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,280
Speaker 1: It would have been entertaining program. It would have been

2287
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: that's it, I swear by the way, Mini Rent, that's

2288
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 1: the toughest thing to do is you're like, Okay, we're

2289
01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 1: talking about Texans and Chiefs, and then there's this big

2290

2295
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 4: Living the dream with Steve Hartman the Red Zone Radio

2296
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 4: is a lot of fun for that reason. But yeah,

2297
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 4: I wanted to comment on LeVar who during my playing

2298
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:55,160
Speaker 4: career at Penn State, I graduated high school in two

2299
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 4: thousand and four. I met LeVar Arrington like days after

2300
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,240
Speaker 4: that because he was at Penn State a lot. He

2301
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 4: is important to that program. Doesn't matter what's gone on

2302
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:09,440
Speaker 4: over the years. He's always stood by the program and

2303
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:11,160
Speaker 4: he's been a mentor for a lot of the kids

2304
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:14,000
Speaker 4: who's passed through that program. And so yeah, a lot

2305
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 4: of love for LeVar and he's he's at every important

2306
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 4: Penn State yet anything.

2307
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right, we got some picks to make.

2308
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:28,760
Speaker 1: Let's do it ramid fire, all right, shared, we start

2309
01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 1: with you. What do you like?

2310
01:56:30,200 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 6: Just call me the professor. We're going chalk today. I'm

2311
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 6: laying it with Texas minus thirteen and a half.

2312
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh may that professor.

2313
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:42,960
Speaker 5: I think Texas going to strangle the life out of

2314
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 5: this game. The Texas defense is the best unit on

2315
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:48,000
Speaker 5: the field. I do not trust the Clemson offense down

2316
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 5: to down to be able to sustain it. I think

2317
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:52,320
Speaker 5: the Longhorn squeeze the life right.

2318
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:52,560
Speaker 1: Out of it.

2319
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 6: Same thing with Penn State.

2320
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:56,440
Speaker 5: SMU might give you something early, but I don't like

2321
01:56:56,520 --> 01:56:58,919
Speaker 5: the fact that they didn't handle the environment, the conditions

2322
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 5: in that acc title. It's gonna be cold, it's gonna

2323
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,280
Speaker 5: be loud in Happy Valley today. I do not think

2324
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 5: Kevin Jennings will be up to that tack. I think

2325
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 5: Penn State again squeezes the life out of this game,

2326
01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:11,080
Speaker 5: and James Franklin if he can cover the number, you

2327
01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 5: bet you he will. And finally I'll lay it with

2328
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:15,920
Speaker 5: Ohio State too. Do I like laying points with Will

2329
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:18,360
Speaker 5: Howard and Ryan Day and Joe Kelly. No, but I

2330
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 5: don't trust Nico on the road in a big spot.

2331
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 5: It reminds me of the game at Georgia where they

2332
01:57:22,520 --> 01:57:25,240
Speaker 5: weren't able to move the football. So I'll go chalk Texas,

2333
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 5: Penn State, and Ohio State my three picks against the

2334
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:29,680
Speaker 5: spread today.

2335
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 1: Interesting.

2336
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,960
Speaker 3: I am with Jared on the Penn State kick.

2337
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:36,960
Speaker 4: Look, I'm gonna lay the points with the Nitney Lions

2338
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:41,240
Speaker 4: for one simple fact. I think they outclass SMU in

2339
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:44,040
Speaker 4: just about every way. I don't think this is gonna

2340
01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 4: be much of a ball game. I think this could

2341
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:50,200
Speaker 4: be a pretty big beatdown in Halfy Valley. Moving out

2342
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 4: to the NFL, very interested in this slate of game,

2343
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:57,480
Speaker 4: specifically this Houston Texans Kans City Chiefs game where the

2344
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 4: Texans are dogged by three and a half points at

2345
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:03,360
Speaker 4: CAC I like the Texans here, and if I like

2346
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:06,400
Speaker 4: the Texans, I think I like the over. So the

2347
01:58:06,440 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 4: line right now the total is set at forty two

2348
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 4: and a half.

2349
01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:11,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the over there.

2350
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:13,879
Speaker 4: This could turn into a little bit of a shootout

2351
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:17,720
Speaker 4: between Stroud and Mahomes. The Chiefs have been under the

2352
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,600
Speaker 4: total of the past three weeks.

2353
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a rare over

2354
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:22,879
Speaker 3: on the season.

2355
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to keep up with the Houston Texans offense.

2356
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:32,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna start with College Bowl. Give me Tennessee

2357
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:37,240
Speaker 1: their team total under nineteen and a half. Tough test

2358
01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:40,600
Speaker 1: against Ohio State here today. I am going to go

2359
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:43,720
Speaker 1: with the first college game SMU. Give me their running

2360
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 1: back Brishard Smith over twenty three and a half receiving yards. Okay,

2361
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how much success they're gonna have running it.

2362
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 1: Let's throw it to them. Maybe they're down big late.

2363
01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 1: Let's throw it to them some more safety valve screens.

2364
01:58:57,280 --> 01:58:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Smith gets over twenty three and a half.

2365
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 1: And I'll look at the NFL today as well. Kansas

2366
01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:07,880
Speaker 1: City struggles covering tight ends. Give me Dalton Schultz over

2367
01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 1: thirty four and a half receiving yards Texans tight end.

2368
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 1: There you go, Tennessee under Texans with Schultz over and

2369
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:19,040
Speaker 1: for shard Smith over, that's a little bit of a

2370
01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:21,160
Speaker 1: Penn State. Well, I'm saying they might. Penn State might

2371
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 1: be up big, right, So.

2372
01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 3: That's notre We are here.

2373
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:29,120
Speaker 5: We are we are baby, soak it up, breathe it in.

2374
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 1: This is a beautiful day for college. By the way,

2375
01:59:31,320 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: Penn State, Notre Dame collision Course.

2376
01:59:35,720 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 6: I don't know, we're a lot to be friends by.

2377
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd be cool with that. And you guys will

2378
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:41,880
Speaker 1: never speak to me again.
