You're gonna get Central Arkansas and UMass. 19 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 5: You should have put that in after the pod and 20 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 5: you would have avoided questioning. Although we do have a 21 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,279 Speaker 5: live show on Saturday mornings where he would have gotten 22 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 5: grilled there as well as we always do on our 23 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 5: show that we record on Thursdays. That comes out on 24 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 5: Friday mornings. We will go over the Friday night slate. 25 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 5: We will cover all the marquee games on Saturday and 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 5: the games that we like, we'll get into some FC 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 5: yes or no. We'll give out our favorite underdog money 28 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 5: line parlay. You know, we have a lot to get 29 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 5: to here, so, as we always do, let's start with 30 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 5: our segment look Ahead or look. 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 6: Away, Hangovers, sleepers, and the dreaded sandwich spot. 32 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 4: Is it time to look ahead or look away? 33 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 5: For those of you unfamiliar or are just you know, 34 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 5: tuning in for the first time, what we do is 35 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 5: we look at next week slate. So we look at 36 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 5: week five and we say, okay, how can some of 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 5: these games impact this week? You know, ultimately, as I 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 5: always say, it comes down to the number. But in 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 5: certain situations, you might have a team that comes out flat. 40 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 5: You know, you might have a team that's just you know, 41 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 5: preparing for next week, or maybe pulls their starters a 42 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 5: little sooner than usual. So let's start with you know, 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 5: one of the best spots on the board. Of my opinion, 44 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 5: it's an ugly team, but Old Dominion, so Old Dominions 45 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 5: catching twenty eight and a half in Charlottesville against Virginia. 46 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 5: Virginia is obviously coming off that win, close win against 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 5: Florida State. They're at Notre Dame on deck, Old Dominion 48 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 5: coming off of buye. I like them catching or four touchdowns. 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 5: It's just really tough for Virginia, who I think is 50 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 5: going to be flat as hell. I don't think they 51 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 5: just want to get a lead, get out of their 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 5: healthy With Notre Dame on deck, They're just such a snail. 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 5: I mean, Virginia plays so slow, so it's hard for 54 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 5: the cover these spreads. You know, they did against William 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 5: and Mary, who's obviously significantly worse than Old Dominion, but 56 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 5: it was close there for a while. I think this 57 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 5: is a good spot for Old Dominion and the under 58 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 5: under forty five and a half under forty six. I 59 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 5: mean this feels like, you know, thirty four seven, thirty 60 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 5: one seven s what do you see here? 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is the first time these two 62 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: teams have met, you know, right down the road from 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: I sixty four. This is the one year anniversary. This 64 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: weekend's the one year anniversary or the Virginia Tech upset 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: where I think the points spread was exactly the same 66 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: you know, twenty eight and a half, which that half 67 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: is just screaming for a backdoor hook. Here. It's hard 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: for me to go against Virginia in this spot, not 69 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: because of I think that the offense is going to 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: go Vanilla, or the fact that Bryce Perkins maybe not 71 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: play so much, maybe you know, they just hand the 72 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: ball off a lot more, or even the fact that 73 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: the backup quarterback hasn't even played this year for Virginia, 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: Brandon Armstrong. I think he's been hurt the first three games, 75 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: So there's not you know, I don't know exactly what 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: they're gonna do there as far as like laying off 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: if the score gets big. But you know, Virginia's eighth 78 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: and HAVOC rankings, I mean, they can just do anything 79 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: they want. They've had fifteen passes defensed, twenty eight tackles 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: for loss. But the one stat that really kind of 81 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: like maybe might get me an old dominion is the 82 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: fact that Virginia hasn't forced any fumbles yet this year. 83 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: That's amazing to me. So, yeah, Virginia's havoc is out 84 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: the door. They're in the top ten, but they haven't 85 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: forced any fumbles. So the question is how much will 86 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: Perkins play is the quarterback red shirt? You know Brendon 87 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: Arms are gonna come in. He's been day to day, 88 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: but you know, it's definitely the spot. It's a perfect 89 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 2: spot as far as scheduling goes with Virginia. 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're just a stale. It plays slow, so 91 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 5: it's harder to cover and you might say stuck. You're 92 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 5: saying thirty one seven, thirty four seven. Yeah, if this 93 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 5: line in the light's twenty and a half, this line 94 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 5: was twenty seven and a half, I wouldn't take it 95 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 5: or think about taking it. And you know, the difference 96 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 5: to twenty seven and a half and twenty eight and 97 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: a half with these big dogs is enormous. So you know, 98 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 5: obviously old Mini care they'll be up for this game. 99 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 5: They'll relisious opportunity coming off of a bye in state game. 100 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 5: So I think this line is just a toat how 101 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 5: you make it twenty seven and a half. I make 102 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 5: it twenty five to twenty six ish. So if you 103 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: can get over four touchdowns and the under, I think 104 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 5: that's the way to go. Let's look at another odd spot. 105 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 5: I would say it's another in state game between North 106 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 5: Carolina and Appalachian State. Next week, North Carolina welcomes Clemson 107 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 5: into Chapel Hill. They're coming off that close loss against 108 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 5: wake Forest. App State has looked really good. This is 109 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 5: their biggest test of the year. This line, I believe, 110 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 5: is down. It opened threes, down to two and a half. 111 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 5: You and Cee is two and a half point favorite. 112 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 5: The question is can you and C play before the 113 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 5: fourth quarter? For whatever reason? I don't know if it's 114 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 5: just Sam Howe being nervous, he is a freshman, and 115 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: then like once he you know, is in comeback mode, 116 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 5: doesn't have to think about anything and he can just 117 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 5: let it go, their offense just goes into another gear. 118 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 5: But I mean it's happening every week. What do you 119 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 5: say the year with UNC and hat State, the boys 120 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 5: from Boone? 121 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I made a play on our action app within 122 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: the last hour and it kind of correlates straight into that. 123 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: So I think the question here is is does U 124 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 2: and C even care about this game? They have Clemson 125 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: next week and they don't. You don't understand like how 126 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: much app State despises these guys like Scott Sadderfield wanted 127 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: this job. I mean, everybody that was a fan of 128 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: North Carolina. They wanted Scott Saderfield from Appalachian State. They 129 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: did not want Mac Brown. You know, in hindsight, they're 130 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: okay with mac Brown. The coordinators have got as great 131 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: and they started off well this season except for that 132 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: weight game. But you know, Scott Sadderfield and the app 133 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: State program and the administration and the fans, they kind 134 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: of feel overshadowed by UNC, especially with all the Nike 135 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: money and the Jordan money and all that. And I 136 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: think that there's a real sort of in state little 137 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: brother hatred and they're going to come out fired up 138 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: for this game. You know. I have it at three 139 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 2: and a half, so it's kind of super close to 140 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 2: the two and a half off of a bye. And 141 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: the thing is if you look at you and see 142 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: their defensive line is one hundred and sixth in line 143 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: yards and eighty six an opportunity rate. So what does 144 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: that mean for people that don't know what those stats are? 145 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: Win North carol Win teams against North Carolina need to 146 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: get the rush yards in the situations like third and 147 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: eight or second and four. They've been successful most of 148 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: the time. I mean UNC's defensive line has been outside 149 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: the top one hundred in those kinds of ratings. App 150 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: State was Zach Thomas. They should run all day. They're 151 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: number one of the country in power success rate. They're 152 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: getting two yards whenever they need it in critical downs. 153 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: I made a play on app State plus one in 154 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: the first half. Anything that we've seen out of North 155 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: Carolina the last three weeks, South Carolina, Miami, even Wake 156 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: Forest Sam Howe doesn't play till the fourth quarter. These 157 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: guys don't decide to try to be clutch and win games. 158 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: Who knows what would happened if they put that second 159 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: back on the clock against Wake. We won't get deep 160 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: into that. I like to have stayed in the first 161 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: half here. 162 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean at State we knew coming in was 163 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 5: going to be a good team, but you know, with 164 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 5: a new coach and could there be some changes that 165 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 5: we don't really know. I mean we know that there's 166 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 5: you know, they brought a lot back Zach Thomas at quarterback. 167 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 5: All they've played so far is Charlotte. You're Charlotte Boys 168 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 5: in a game that was fifty six forty one, and 169 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 5: then they rolled East Tennessee State in the first week. 170 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 5: So we expected them to be good, but It's not 171 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: like we could take too much out of those first 172 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: two games. If you want to bet this total, I 173 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 5: have a feeling this might be a shootout, And yeah, 174 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 5: I can't disagree with you going app State in the 175 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 5: first half. Let's talk a team that came out and 176 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 5: looked really impressive last week that we were down on 177 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 5: after what we saw, but the offensive line finally showed up, 178 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 5: and that is the Nebraska corn Huskers. They go to 179 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 5: Illinois and they are laying I believe, what's this line 180 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 5: up to thirteen? Now? They host Ohio State next week? 181 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 5: So can Nebraska get caught up here being sleepy? You 182 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 5: have Illinois who's coming off of a home loss to 183 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 5: Eastern Michigan. You know, so Nebraska they looked a lot better. 184 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 5: They got a big adjustment for me. I make this 185 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: line right around here. What do you see here with 186 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 5: Nebraska Illinois? 187 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I made the line in higher. I made it 188 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: in Nebraska minus fifteen here. So there's other power rating 189 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: systems out there that have a power rated less than ten. 190 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: So it's interesting to see the line movement here as 191 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: we got up to thirteen. I think there's been some 192 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: buyback on Illinois finally but Nebraska put up five hundred 193 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: and twenty five yards. Last week, they averaged seven point 194 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: two yards per rush. Against Northern Illinois, they had two 195 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight yards on the ground. That's what 196 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: we've been waiting for. We've been wanting to see this 197 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: out of Nebraska, and they finally got it together. For me, 198 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 2: I'm not going to play aside because last week it 199 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: was kind of dipping around the fifteen and thirteen range 200 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: and I had Northern Illinois this week. I'm just gonna 201 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: be on the over. So if you look at the 202 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: drive log for Northern Illinois had against Nebraska, you know 203 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 2: you could see that they had two field goals that 204 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: a turnover on downs at the one yard line. They 205 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: got all the way down to the one yard line 206 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: against Nebraska, had a turnover un downs. The other two 207 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: times they were in Nebraska territory they had an interception, 208 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: and then to end the game they got in Nebraska territory, 209 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: it had another turnover on downs. So NIU was loaded 210 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: with chances to get that cover home they never did. 211 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: I think the correct play here is the over. I 212 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: the offense might have fixed itself, but the defense hasn't. 213 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, This is probably a stay I mean, the spot 214 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 5: is just bad. The line looks about right. This is 215 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 5: just the definition of a stay away game for me. 216 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 5: Another stay away game Washington State Ucla. This looks like 217 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 5: a pass to me. But curious to see what you 218 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 5: think here. Ucla has just been dreadful and luckily they 219 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 5: got in the second half number against Oklahoma, a number 220 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 5: I thought was too high overall for the game they 221 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 5: play Washington State here. I think this number is a 222 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 5: little too high, but I just have I mean, after 223 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 5: what I saw last week, you know, I just have 224 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 5: no interest in back in UI plus nineteen here in Pulman. 225 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: If it gets to twenty one, sure, I'll look at 226 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: the Bruins. But what do you see here? 227 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, same thing I have. You know, Ucla power rated 228 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 2: to be plus fourteen in this game, So you think 229 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: that I'd be sweeping up the plus nineteen and have 230 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: no problems with it. But no, just like last week 231 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: when it was inflated against OU, I'm not doing anything 232 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: with this line whatsoever. Ucla. They're going up against the 233 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: air raid and Mike Leach. Yet they're one hundred and 234 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: twentieth in the country and allowing ten plus yard passes. 235 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: They're ninety ninth in the country and allowing twenty plus 236 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: yard passes and now they're going up against air Raid 237 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: and Mike Leach. So no thank you, no love for UCLA. 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 5: The last spot that I wanted to mention was Iowa State, 239 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 5: who I think is in a brutal spot here. 240 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: Right. 241 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 5: They're coming off that devastating seventeen hour game against Iowa, 242 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 5: a game they should have won. You know, if you 243 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 5: look at the box score, they lost by one. You 244 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 5: know that streak continues where they can't win the SiO game. 245 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 5: They have Baylor on deck, big twelve game, and now 246 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 5: they welcome in ULMLA Monroe off of buy and if 247 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 5: you recall LA Monroe went down to Florida State and 248 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 5: didn't go for two. I'm so tired of yelling about this. 249 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 5: I missed the extra point and lost forty five forty four. 250 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 5: They have an explosive offense. They will put the ball 251 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 5: up in the air. You know their defense as a 252 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: Sunbelt defense. But Ihowa State's offense is just not explosive yet. 253 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 5: And you know they're trying to replace Montgomery and Butler. 254 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 5: This is not a tea. I don't I think they 255 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 5: come out really flat. I think ULM, you know, can 256 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 5: throw a little bit on them. I always state weakness 257 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 5: is in their secondary you know. So you could have 258 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 5: Caleb Evans, who can really he can make some bad 259 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 5: boneheaded throws. But I think eighteen here. You know, I 260 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 5: don't think it's the number has the most value in 261 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 5: the world, but I just think this is a hard 262 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 5: hard spot for the cyclones. So you'll probably see you 263 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 5: play from me come across on the app on the Warhawks. 264 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,599 Speaker 5: Any thoughts there, Colin. 265 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: Now completely agree ULM. They're in one of the Sunbelt 266 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 2: offenses that can put it up on you. But we 267 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: need to check weather and names there is you know here, 268 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: I'm here in the Midwest, and there's some weather passing 269 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: through and I think Games was on the radar to 270 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: get some weather, so that could slow down how explosive 271 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 2: ULM could be, and it may be the advantage viiways 272 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 2: stay so keep your eyes on the weather and if 273 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: it looks clear and we can get a key number, 274 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: I'll be right there with stuck. Yep. 275 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 5: So let's get into some of the marquee games of 276 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 5: the weekend and some of the games that we really. 277 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: Like it's another fabulous weekend of college football. Let's check 278 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: out the marquee matchups we'll all end up betting for 279 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: Week four. 280 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 5: Let's start at you know, let's start with the game 281 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 5: that you probably might have a little bit of your 282 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 5: reputation on the line with, and that's UCF and Pitt. 283 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 5: You got a text from a podcast friend, Preg McMurphy saying, 284 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 5: oh man, your number in the app as well for 285 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 5: the number that came out, and I'm referring to the 286 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 5: UCF pit game. This line twelve eleven and a half 287 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 5: twelve ish, you make it around one. You've been hating 288 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 5: on this UCF team all year, and if you look 289 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 5: at their a lot of their advance that's they look 290 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 5: really impressive. 291 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: Now. 292 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 5: They caught who they played, and they caught Stanford in 293 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 5: a terrible spot and really hobbled, you know, so their 294 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 5: defensive line numbers look really good. But I do agree 295 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 5: that this is inflated. I don't have it at one, 296 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 5: but anything double edgess, I think it's crazy. I think 297 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 5: UCF is overinflated here based on what people have seen. 298 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 5: But I don't necessarily think the body of work is impressive. 299 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 5: As many things. What are your thoughts here? 300 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know this is the same spot as 301 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: last year. I had Pitten the spot down in Orlando. 302 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: They got blown out and Ardozy didn't have an offense, 303 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: defense couldn't keep up. They just got blitzed. They yeh truck. 304 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I just it was bad last year. So 305 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: now things have changed a little bit. And by the way, 306 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: as we're talking, one of the operators has taken it 307 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: down to ten and a half. So there's at least 308 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 2: some other pit out there, pit money out there besides mine. 309 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: But as far as this game is concerned, yeah, I 310 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 2: have a power rated much lower. When the Lions came out, 311 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: made a play immediately on the action app. Haven't really 312 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: had any you know, heartburn about making that play days ago, 313 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: even though it got up to twelve and a half 314 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: and I think some thirteens. This number is so far 315 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: off my power rating, But this is par for the course. 316 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: When it comes to Pitt, I had Pitt rated way 317 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: higher than minus four against Ohio. Had no problem covering 318 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: that game. I had no problems whatsoever bet and Pit 319 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: against Penn State covered that game easily. Not going to 320 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: get into the whole field goal thing. I didn't need it, 321 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: already had enough points to cover. So there's something going 322 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: on here either just like oddsmakers are way behind on Pitt, 323 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: or maybe I'm just way ahead because of Mark Whipple. 324 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 5: Maybe Dylan Gabriel is the real deal. 325 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: Maybe and he is, and maybe he's the one getting 326 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: the bump here because the kid, you know, he's one 327 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: of the most explosive passers in the country. Can't take 328 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: it away from him. But I mean, you know, Pitt's 329 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 2: been doing their job. They've been covering games, they've been 330 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: they've been hanging in their beating teams. They should hanging 331 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: in with Penn State when they were, you know, a 332 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: much bigger dogs. I just don't think that Pitt's been 333 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: adjusted correctly. Both teams are top twenty in the Action 334 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: Network HAVOC ratings. Pitt is not having a problem sacking 335 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: the quarterback and getting pressure whatsoever. They're fifteenth in sack 336 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: rate right now, and they should be able to get 337 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: pressure on Dylan Gabriel. And if they want to wheel 338 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: Brandon Wimbush out for a snap or two, that's fine. 339 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: But I mean, Dylan Gabriel is gonna feel some pressure 340 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 2: this week. Unlike Stanford. Stanford can't attack a cold and 341 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: then Mark Whipple, on the other hand, I think he's 342 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: gonna find ways to attack and get points up on 343 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: the board, unlike what Pitt was able to do last year. 344 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: Think when I handicapped it this way, I really got 345 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: into the deep into this game. This is how comfortable 346 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: I am with my pit number. Stanford losing. They're all 347 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: pack twelve left tackle, and they lost one of their 348 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: key contributors on the offensive line, and they were in 349 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: a sandwich spot in between Oregon and usc flew across 350 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: Country played early in the day. UCF had zero sacks, 351 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: zero sacks against a beat up, not want to be there, 352 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: not interested Stanford team that really kind of left an 353 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: impression on me. So I think Pitt's gonna be able 354 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: to put some points up and get this cover for me. 355 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 5: Fair enough, All right, let's get into some of the 356 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 5: Marque games we got that I would say three kind 357 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 5: of blockbuster games on paper. Let's start first with the 358 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 5: prime time showdown between Notre Dame and Georgia. This line, 359 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 5: I believe is sitting Georgia minus fourteen and a half everywhere. 360 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 5: You know, I personally can't bet this at fourteen and 361 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 5: a half, I do think Georgia is going to roll 362 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: like Notre Dame. It's funny. This is like, I think 363 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 5: they're just due for their SEC beat down. It happens 364 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 5: every six years against the top five SEC team. Two 365 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 5: thousand and seven they played LSU, they lost, I think 366 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 5: forty two to fourteen, and then twenty thirteen they played Alabama, 367 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 5: they lost think forty one to fourteen. So I could 368 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 5: easily see, you know, six years after now this year 369 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 5: that happening again. The big storyline here is, you know, 370 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 5: it's not rocket science. Is Notre dame defensive line is 371 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 5: significantly smaller than Georgia's offensive line, which might be the 372 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 5: best in the country with their stable of backs and 373 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 5: their running rushing attack is so explosive. And Notre Dame. 374 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 5: I mean, in some metrics they're bottom ten, bottom twenty 375 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 5: in rush defense. They're you know, they're giving up over 376 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 5: two hundred dards to New Mexico and Louisville on the ground. 377 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 5: I mean, what is this Georgia off It's gonna do? 378 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 5: It could also be a little personal. I know, Georgia 379 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 5: went down in Notre Dame a couple of years ago 380 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 5: one twenty to nineteen. But you know, Georgia thought that 381 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 5: they should have been in the playoff even with two 382 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 5: losses of a Notre Dame. This is in Athens at night. 383 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 5: This speed of Georgia, I think will show you know, 384 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 5: they're gonna need book to make a ton of plays. 385 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 5: They're gonna need some turnovers. I can't see Notre Dame 386 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: hanging around. The problem is I make it two touchdowns 387 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 5: and it's at fourteen and a half. I didn't get 388 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 5: it under fourteen. So I'll look for Georgia live. Maybe 389 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 5: maybe Notre Dame as a fluke first half and I 390 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 5: get Georgia second half. 391 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 2: But this is a bad matchup for Notre Dame. Agree, Yeah, 392 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: really bad? Before I get to those numbers. This the 393 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 2: scenario feels like Clemson and Notre Dame from last year's playoff, 394 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: where you and I made the number around eight, eight 395 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: and a half, but the number for Clemson had trailed 396 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 2: out to eleven, twelve, thirteen, And we say back and said, well, 397 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: our power ratings say this, our power ratings say this, 398 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: and just everything. You couldn't find one stat to back 399 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: up Notre Dame whatsoever. And I feel like This is 400 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: the exact same thing. Generally, when I make a bet, 401 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: I can make a case for the other team. I 402 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: just think the team that I'm betting on has a 403 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 2: better case. In this case, I can't make one. I 404 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 2: can't tell you one mass stat. I can't tell you 405 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: one situational stat. I can't tell you any reason to 406 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: take Notre Dame. It's actually kind of scary. So again, 407 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: we make this game I think eleven and a half 408 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 2: or twelve. Stuck and I were talking about this offline 409 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: on Sunday and said, are you kidding me? That New 410 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: Mexico ran for four point six yards per carry? What 411 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: are you gonna do with that? When New Mexico is 412 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: running four point six yards per carry on forty six attempts. 413 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 2: It wasn't even like ten attempts. It was forty six attempts. 414 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: Stuck is right, George is the best in the nation 415 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: on the offensive line. Their best in the stats when 416 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: it comes to things called line yards, opportunity rate, They're 417 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: second in the country and stuff rate. Their new offensive coordinator, 418 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: James Coley, he's finding explosive plays, not just on the ground, 419 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: but he's starting to hit a bunch of wide receivers 420 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: that nobody even knew their names three weeks ago. Irish 421 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 2: are one hundred and first in passing downs sack rate. 422 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 2: What does that mean? In passing downs where Jake fromm 423 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: is back, it's third and eight, they will get zero 424 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 2: pressure on Jake from Georgia can do whatever it wants 425 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 2: whenever it wants. So the Irish shore one hundred and 426 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 2: seventeen on third down conversion rate on defense. So I mean, 427 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: it's just it is an extremely, extremely bad matchup. So 428 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: George is gonna have full control of the ground, the air, 429 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: the clock. The only thing that's missing from this game 430 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: is whether Kirby smart is going to get havoc plays. 431 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: He's looking for forced fumbles, he's looking for passes defense, 432 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: he wants some pick sixes. When I think about that, 433 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: Kirby knows that if some wonky shit happens in the 434 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: SEC championship game, or something's going on in the SEC 435 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: where Alabama is sitting out there with one loss and 436 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 2: they want to get into the playoff, Kirby knows how 437 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: important this game is to the full resume of the 438 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 2: college football playoff. Now, I will say this, there's not 439 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 2: a lot of times where there's eighty percent of the 440 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 2: money and eighty percent of the tickets all on one side, 441 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: and I'm looking to back this is that spot. I'm 442 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: willing to swim with all the fishes and low my 443 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 2: power ratings away and say that Georgia has no problems 444 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: calling their own score. Look for a fourteen. You don't 445 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: want to worry about the hook. Look for a fourteen. 446 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 5: Yep, I would agree. Then, Also special teams. You know 447 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 5: Notre Dame replaced that. You know they have freshmen at 448 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 5: their key positions, and we have blanket ship on Georgia 449 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 5: the reliable kicker, so Georgia even has an edge there. 450 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 5: It's hard to find many advantages for Notre Dame. It 451 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 5: is one football game. Things can happen, but on paper 452 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 5: it doesn't look great for the Irish. Another game the 453 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 5: SEC CBS three point thirty slot Auburn, Texas A and M. 454 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 5: It's down in College station. This opened at four Texas 455 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 5: AUM four point favorite. It's down to three and a half. 456 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 5: And you know what I'm looking at here is Texas 457 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 5: A and M. By the way, speaking of special teams, 458 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 5: one of the best punters in the country. I'm looking 459 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 5: at text aem first half. And the reason for that 460 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 5: if you remember that Oregon game joke, Oregon game that 461 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 5: Auburn stole despite Bo Picks his best efforts to give 462 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 5: it away and then that lucky throw he they won 463 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 5: despite him. I mean he was awful. Awful. Yeah, I'm 464 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 5: still not over it. He's going down first true road game, 465 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 5: you know, one of the toughest places to play in 466 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 5: the country, and Klaman on the other side of the 467 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 5: quarterback for a m He's been in a ton of 468 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 5: these games, so I think you might see, you know, 469 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 5: Bo Picks come out a little. I know it's Bo Nicks. 470 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 5: Everybody come out a little, you know, shaky and rusty, 471 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 5: maybe throw a pick or two, true to his name, 472 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 5: you know, force a few balls. They also have a 473 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: safety that's out for the first half of targeting. He 474 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 5: comes in in nickel packages. Also a big special teams contributor. 475 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 5: And then also you don't have that the Malsan magic 476 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 5: second half adjustments and I'm getting under a field goal 477 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 5: in the first half. So I think Texas A and 478 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 5: M comes out hot here. The experience at quarterback in particular, 479 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 5: you know, in this hostile environment, I think they come 480 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 5: out firing. I wouldn't be surprised if Malsan cooks up 481 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 5: some stuff in the second half like he did with 482 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 5: Oregon and make some you know, adjustments, as he's so 483 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 5: adept at doing. So I'm rolling with A and M 484 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 5: first half here minus two and a half. 485 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's actually the way to go. I'd 486 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: never even thought about taking the first half because I 487 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: had everything that I've seen and looked into. The stats 488 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: is just Auburn's not going to get anything to go 489 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: on the ground whatsoever. This Texas A and M rush 490 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: defense is tops in the country. They're better than Auburns. 491 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: They're better in Alabama, they're better at LSU, they're first 492 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: in the nation against power success runs. That means Auburn's 493 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 2: not going to be able to get anything short whatsoever. 494 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: So what does that mean? Bow Knicks is going to 495 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 2: be in third and long all day, but they're outside 496 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: the top one hundred pass yards per attempt. I think 497 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: bo Nicks is averaging around six yards per pass. I mean, 498 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: that's not going to work when you're in third and 499 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: eight or third and long, So obviously that's going to 500 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: be an issue. I think the thing that I've been 501 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 2: waiting for is I want to see this thing go 502 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: to three. So our Action Network power ratings make this 503 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: six Texas A and M minus six. But there's another 504 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: power rating system out there that says Auburn should be 505 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: favored by one and a half, which is why I 506 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: think this number keeps dipping down. And I will gladly 507 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: look for a three on Texas A and M because 508 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: I just don't see how bo Nick is going to 509 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 2: be able to get the ball down the field. Now, 510 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 2: if I'm going to take Texas A and M at 511 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: the current number and minus three and a half, I 512 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: want confirmation that why receiver Seth Williams is not going 513 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: to play for the Auburn offense. He's the guy that 514 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 2: bo Nicks wants to target downfield. He's going to be 515 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 2: sort of the safety blanket. I think he's Auburn's best 516 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: target out there. And if Seth Williams isn't playing, I 517 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: don't know how this Auburn team moves the ball whatsoever. 518 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: There's so many injuries on Auburn's defensive side of the ball. 519 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: You turn it around on Kellam on on the of 520 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 2: Auburn defensive side of the ball, Derek Brown, the star 521 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: defensive tackle, hurt, banged up, everybody's day to day. You 522 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: just don't know how it's going to work out. I 523 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: think Texas A and M is in a spot to 524 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: get this game. I'm just waiting. I'm waiting patiently to 525 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 2: get a key number. Not you know, not a huge 526 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 2: bet in Maple l eight first half, but Auburn moving 527 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: the ball. I just I don't see how that happens. 528 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: And if Seth Williams doesn't play, I think this is 529 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: an easy Texas A and M play. 530 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, and don't sleep on the punter in this situation. 531 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 5: Backing up a you know, fresh true freshman quarterback in 532 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 5: his first road game and one of the most hostile environments. 533 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 5: Just back them deep in his own territory, forcing a 534 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 5: throw especially early. Look at the first half there. 535 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: I hope you're enjoying this great action network podcast.

The game that everyone's 547 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 5: gonna be watching early at noon, Michigan Wisconsin. This has 548 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 5: national title implications, big ten futures, my futures in particular 549 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 5: on Michigan. 550 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 2: And look, this. 551 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 5: Line was what minus four minus five in you know 552 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 5: look aheadlines preseason. Now it's Wisconsin minus three and a half. 553 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 5: We talked about this two weeks ago and I said, look, 554 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 5: after the adjustments from what we've seen from Michigan Wisconsin, 555 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 5: I make this around Wanish. So if I see any 556 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 5: either team over three and a half, I'm taking it, 557 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 5: which I did, and I took me Michigan plus three 558 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 5: and a half. I think that there's a couple of 559 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 5: things working in Michigan's favor here based from what you've seen. Look, 560 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 5: their offense hasn't looked great, hasn't looked crisp. They had 561 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 5: a bunch of fumbles and bad fumble luck. But if 562 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 5: you look at like that Middle Tennessee State game, they 563 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 5: missed just a couple passes. They were just off on. 564 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 5: You know, when they were running their read option, Patterson 565 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 5: wasn't really pulling out. 566 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: I think he had a. 567 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 5: Hurd obleak, so I think he was nursing some injuries 568 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 5: against winnable teams. So they also will get running back here, 569 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 5: probably people's jones. They're gonna be as healthy as they've 570 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 5: been all year, and they needed this bye week. You know, 571 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: they have a new offense. Wisconsin knows what they're gonna do. 572 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 5: You know, they're going to feature Jonathan Taylor. They were rolling, 573 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: and I think that the overreaction here is just a 574 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 5: little much. And I know John Harborough's zero to six 575 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 5: straight up as an underdog two and four against the 576 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 5: spread at Michigan, and Michigan hasn't won it Wisconsin since 577 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 5: two thousand and one, I believe. But I just think 578 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 5: this is an overreaction for what Wisconsin has done against 579 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 5: two just cupcakes. Central Michigan and South floridadn't even bother 580 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 5: showing up, and then Michigan, you know, they it happens 581 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 5: just s with Army and you know Middle Tennessee State. 582 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 5: There were some plays there, So I agree that the 583 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 5: line shouldn't have been four or five where what Michigan 584 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 5: minus four or fivehere was preseason. You know, you got 585 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 5: to adjust it down from what you've seen, but not 586 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: over a field goal for Wisconsin. You do still worry 587 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 5: about the Michigan interior, but I do think that they're 588 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 5: going to have, you know, some tricks up their sleeve 589 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 5: on offense, Josh Gattis and you know, I don't think 590 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 5: that they were showing everything. And that bye week it 591 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 5: just favors Michigan so much more because they needed to 592 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 5: work some kinks out, they needed to get healthier, while 593 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: Wisconsin would have preferred the last week, let's go, let's play. 594 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 5: So I think that buy really does help Michigan. What 595 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 5: do you see here? 596 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 2: I like it when we put trends on the show. 597 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 2: This is handicapping by our trends. Here's a trend Collins 598 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: oho to one and the pocket backing Michigan. So listen. 599 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: I don't know how to handicap Wisconsin this season, to 600 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 2: be honest. They haven't had a point scored against them. 601 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: How do you handicap a team when you're in Week 602 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 2: four and they haven't had a point scored against them? 603 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: Go into the box score Central Michigan had fifty eight 604 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: total yards. Fifty eight total yards. 605 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, then they had a owner against Achron. Thanks, what 606 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 5: the hell? 607 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 2: So I don't, I don't. I don't know how to 608 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: properly handicap Wisconsin. Am I happy about my eighteen to 609 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: one futures at the Westgate to win the Big Ten? 610 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: Of course? But that could all be Yeah, you know, 611 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 2: that can all go down the shitter here real fast. 612 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: So I make this game Wisconsin minus one and a half. 613 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 2: There is a lot of narrative out there about how 614 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: this game has jumped up too much. Of course it has. 615 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: The public perception on Michigan is extremely low. The public 616 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: perception on Wisconsin is really high. That's why they can 617 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 2: jacket three points and get a whole bunch of people 618 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: to come to the window. 619 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 5: So split's on? Do it as soon that the splits 620 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 5: would be high on Michigan, Like, oh, everyone's on Michigan 621 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 5: through a half, it's not. It's pretty balanced. So to 622 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 5: the line is right from you know, a sportsbook perspective. 623 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 5: But I just think over the field goal. I say, look, 624 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 5: if Wisconsin was bus three and a half, I would take. 625 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 2: Them, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean, but I'm not sure 626 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: if there will be enough enough points in this game 627 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: to try to play it live and try to get 628 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 2: both sides, kind of like we did with that Iowa 629 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 2: Iowa State game that's separated by seventeen hours. Like we said, 630 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: but listen, so let me let me throw some things 631 00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: out that we do know about Michigan, so at least, 632 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 2: I mean, we have more of a sample set against 633 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 2: real teams with Michigan. The offensive line is getting zero push. 634 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 2: They're one hundred and fourth in power success right, they 635 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: can't get two yards when they need it. Shape Patterson 636 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: was dealing with an oblique injury after his first fumble 637 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: against Middle Tennessee. Don't know if that's still an issue. 638 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: We will see. Donovan People Jones to me, is the 639 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: key in this game. Army was doubling up linebackers on 640 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 2: the outside of the tackles every time Shae would run 641 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: RPO inside the tackles. When Shay ran RPO inside the tackles, 642 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: he saw two linebackers outside the outside the tackle, and 643 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: he handed it off on the inside every time. Not 644 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: to Donovan People Jones, who is explosive and could have 645 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: made that run much more successful. I think Donovan People 646 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: Jones is just key to this offense, and if they 647 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: want to run it up the middle with this RPO, 648 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: when Shape Patterson is given a read, I think people 649 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: Jones is big, so if he's playing and he's healthy, 650 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: I think there's going to be points put up on 651 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 2: the board. Defense is a bit of a head scratcher 652 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: for me. For Michigan there are one hundred and twentieth 653 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: in HAVOC. How did that happen? When I think of Michigan, 654 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 2: I think grinding defense. I think ball on the field, 655 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 2: I think interceptions. I think Braylan Edwards had that name 656 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 2: come up. But I just think more than one hundred 657 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: and twentieth in HAVOC rankings. So I don't know what's 658 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: going on with the Michigan defense. But even their defensive 659 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: line is seventy fifth in power success rate, which tells 660 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: me that Jonathan Taylor is gonna should eat all day 661 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: at short yardage situations. But if People's Jones plays, then 662 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: I like the over in this game. So I'm not 663 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: gonna have a side. And there may be you know, 664 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: like we said that, you know Vegas and the odds 665 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 2: makers and whoever has made this line to match both 666 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: public perceptions to get action on both sides. I like 667 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: the over in this game because I think Michigan actually 668 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: is gonna work out some of the kinks over the 669 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: two weeks, get a little bit healthy. If people's jones 670 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: is there, then great more points. And I think Wisconsin's 671 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: going to be able to score two based on what 672 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: we've seen out of the Michigan defense. So I'll take 673 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: the over. 674 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 5: Anything that all the trick play, anything that you haven't 675 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 5: seen the wrinkles, You're going to see them from Michigan 676 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 5: this week, which is one wild card here. You mentioned 677 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: Michigan names. When you say Michigan, when I think of 678 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 5: tim biaka Patuca. You am going to tie all this 679 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 5: back to what you just said. How about Army and 680 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 5: Michigan in Tyrone Wheatley, who's now the new head coach 681 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 5: at Morgan State, who plays Army this week, and Army 682 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 5: is a fifty point favorite in that game. Morgan State 683 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 5: is absolute ass. All right, So let's move on to 684 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 5: some of the other I would say undercard but interesting games. 685 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 5: Tennessee Florida and this thing's you know, Tennessee at Florida's 686 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 5: sitting right around fourteen fourteen and a half Obviously, Felipe 687 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 5: Franks is out for the year. There's some other key 688 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 5: injuries to keep in, you know, to keep track of. 689 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 5: On Florida, you know, one of their main receivers, a 690 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 5: couple of defenders their corner. So that's what I'm keyping on. 691 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 5: Tennessee's getting a couple guys back on defense. Bryce Thompson 692 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 5: in particular, who threatened his girlfriend and then to blow 693 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 5: up the school. But apparently he's back. That's how ban 694 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 5: Tennessee needs corners. But they say he might not be 695 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 5: in game shape. Tough game to cap. I mean, Trask 696 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 5: is going to get the start. He came in and 697 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 5: you know, led the comeback against Kentucky and Lexington. This 698 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 5: is the kid who hasn't started a game, I believe 699 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 5: since eighth grade. He was Deerrick King's backup in high school. Yes, 700 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 5: talk about bad luck. So you know he's going to 701 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 5: be starting his first game here. Yea, what do we 702 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 5: have from Tennessee? I don't know. I mean, I still 703 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 5: can't get over the fact I think it's too high 704 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 5: at fourteen and a half. There's a lot of unknowns, 705 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 5: a lot of injuries. I got to see who's playing 706 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 5: for sure, but remember I said, why did Tennessee not 707 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 5: run the ball against Georgia State. Georgia State is now 708 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 5: their defense is averaging six and a half yards per rush. 709 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 5: That's one hundred and twenty ninth in the country. Western 710 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 5: Michigan ran for seventeen trillion yards last week against Georgia State, 711 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 5: and Tennessee wouldn't run it their offensive line and it's 712 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 5: a mess. They wouldn't run it more than dile th 713 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 5: At thirteen times. So you know, I actually think there 714 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 5: might be more points than people think in this game 715 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 5: with backup quarterback. The problem is with Tennessee's offensive line. 716 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 5: Warn Tanna holds the ball so long, it holds it 717 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 5: longer than any SEC quarterback at fourteen and a half. 718 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 5: Tennessee intrigues me, but I feel like I'm guessing a 719 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 5: lot of injuries, so I might may just sit on 720 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 5: the sidelines here. Do you see anything here now? 721 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: Zero, I'm going to pass on this. With trashke At 722 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: playing quarterback behind Felipe Franks, and then you know, Jeremy 723 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: Prue comparing the Tennessee to the Titanic is sinking and 724 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: we're seeing the Rats run to the top. I'm out 725 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 2: no Tennessee plays for me, please, all. 726 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 5: Right, Oak State, Texas. These Herman streaks are crazy. You 727 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 5: know your dog, your favorite, and then he can't beat Gundhy. 728 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 5: He just cannot beat Gundy, Texas a five point favorite here. 729 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 5: What do you see with the pokes and horns? 730 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Herman hasn't been Gundy since two thousand 731 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: and nine when he was an assistant at Iowa State. 732 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 2: There was a little bit of a mid game scrum 733 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: going on last year where one of the coaches was 734 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: on the field and then Herman was yelling at Gundy. 735 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: Then Gundy came running on. They had a postgame handshake. 736 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 2: They've been very cordial and when asked about it since then, 737 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: I don't think they have any respect for each other whatsoever. 738 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 2: The Polks are averaging seven point five yards per play 739 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: right now. The offense is on fire. They're in the 740 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: top fifteen. They've scored. The Cowboys have scored on every 741 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 2: red zone attempt. Texas not doing so well. Their numbers 742 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: are a little bloated. I understand that when you play 743 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: LSU and it's just balls out for the entire time. 744 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: I understand the numbers can be inflated, but Texas is 745 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: still outside the top one hundred and opponent yards per 746 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: play and allowing people to score in the red zone, 747 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 2: so that doesn't look good. I make this Texas minus 748 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 2: two and a half. So I have made a play 749 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: on Oklahoma State. I would suggest on waiting there is 750 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: some Texas money coming in, it's gonna be some sixes 751 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: pop up. I think that would be the best number 752 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: that you want to get. But the injuries up and 753 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: down the Horns roster is bad, especially on defense. I 754 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: mean the secondary's bruised banged up. They're missing Overshown and 755 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: he was ruled out earlier in the week, you know, 756 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 2: so problems at safeties. And I think Sewn Gleese, the 757 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for Oklahoma State, is going to go straight 758 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: after that. So you know, I like Oklahoma State and 759 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 2: the points and could be a possible upset again here 760 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: for Gundhy over Herman. 761 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean I needed seven, which maybe I'll get live. 762 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 5: I think the line is pretty good at five ish 763 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 5: at six, maybe I would look at Oklahoma State. You know, 764 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 5: you make it two and a half. I make it 765 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 5: around three and a half four, So five is a 766 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 5: really solid line for me. I was hoping to get 767 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 5: seven with Oak State, which is not going to happen. 768 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 5: And by the way, I'm still mad at Oak State 769 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 5: for breaking that tackle with two minutes to go on 770 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 5: fourth and one, said no timeouts Tulsa couldn't cover in 771 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 5: a game they led twenty one twenty in the second half. 772 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 5: But anyway, Michigan State, northwesterno. 773 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 4: Cats Cats this line. 774 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 5: Michigan State by this nine and a half at Northwestern, which, 775 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 5: by the way, on the lake there, there's gonna be wins. 776 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 5: Check the wins fifteen twenty miles per hour, which will 777 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 5: impact this game. This total is down to thirty eight. 778 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 5: You know, I threw two lane in a money line 779 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 5: parlay with Michigan State. I don't know how Northwestern scores 780 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 5: outside of voodoo, you know, Northwestern, if you do, if 781 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 5: you look at that as an underdog the last three years, 782 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 5: they were fourteen to three and one against the spread. 783 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 5: Well and before that fumble against Stanford, so maybe their 784 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 5: voodoo is running out. So they you know, Fitzgerald's always 785 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 5: been great as an underdog. They find ways to win. 786 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 5: You know, in those eighteen games, I think he's won 787 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 5: eleven of them, eleven and seven straight up. In those 788 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 5: eighteen games as a underdog over the last three seasons 789 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 5: before this year. But I just don't know how northwa 790 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 5: I've watched Northwestern. You know they scored some points against UNLV. 791 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 5: I mean, so could Arkansas, So could you? And I 792 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 5: it's you know, it's It's offense is atrocious so and 793 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 5: Michigan State's defense is legit. They showed it once again 794 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 5: last week. Arizona State only had two hundred yards. The 795 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 5: defensive line is dominant north Western. It's gonna be able 796 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 5: to run it. It's gonna be windy. How does Michigan 797 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 5: State score? I don't know. I think that this game 798 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 5: is ugly. I'm looking at the under, but I think 799 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 5: I prefer Northwestern team total under. 800 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 2: Again. 801 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 5: I said that about Arizona State, and I should have 802 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 5: went through with it. But this game could be like 803 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 5: thirteen seven, twelve, ten, Who knows, But I think Michigan 804 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 5: State finds away. Northwestern is going to have trouble scoring here. 805 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 5: But I see you put it on a play unto 806 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 5: the over, which shocked me. What do you see here? Right? 807 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 2: Yeah? I put a play in on the over because 808 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 2: I projected this to be about ten points over the 809 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: current number. I actually as based upon yards per play, 810 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 2: and it turns out Michigan State it was like positive 811 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 2: point two, you know, two point five, and the number 812 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 2: of plays they've been playing is up since last year, 813 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: so that's how the projection got to be higher. The 814 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 2: offensive line scares me though, I mean, how many busts 815 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 2: of plays are going to You can't can't rush, run 816 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 2: block for anybody. Michigan's offensive line is in complete shambles. 817 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 2: I did put over in for a little bit of money. 818 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: The number is not taken off like expected, so I'm 819 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 2: gonna sit with it. I would still recommend it for 820 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 2: a little bit of money, just based on the fact 821 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: of how many plays per game both these teams are running. 822 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 2: The yards per play on Michigan State has been exceptional 823 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 2: at Northwesterns, I think is even when you have a 824 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: differential between what they give to their opponents and what 825 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 2: they have their self. So just based on mathematics alone, 826 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: I think the number is going to go over, which 827 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,439 Speaker 2: is why I played it. The world's on the under, 828 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: the world's pounding the under. It has nothing to do 829 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 2: with me just kind of trying to be contrarian with total. 830 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 2: It just comes down to how many players are being 831 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 2: made a game in the Michigan State games. 832 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 5: By the way, shout out to my boy Darren Revel. 833 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 5: I love shouting because everyone hates them. But if you 834 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 5: ever met him, he's nicest guy in the world. He 835 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 5: just loves He knows how to play the heel his 836 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 5: article which you should always read every week on the 837 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 5: Market Report. One of the things you mentioned in there 838 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 5: is like, Yo, thirty eight and a half seems low, 839 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 5: and people are like, wow, I don't want to play under. 840 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 5: You know, in eight Big ten games last year, Michigan 841 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 5: State only had one that went over thirty nine points, 842 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 5: and of course that was against Northwestern, So you know this, 843 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 5: and you know over the last five years, half of 844 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,240 Speaker 5: Northwestern's games against Big ten fos have resulted in totals 845 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 5: of thirty nine or fewer points. So if you want 846 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 5: to bet a number, these are the two teams to 847 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 5: do it with. I just don't think Northwestern gets to fourteen. 848 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 5: So the thing is, there's no team totals out right 849 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 5: now that I can bet. So the totals at thirty eight, 850 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 5: the lines at nine, so you know you're assuming twenty. 851 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 2: Four, fourteen, fourteen. The moves a little bit, so. 852 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 5: The difference between I really want a fourteen and a 853 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 5: half of fourteen will be huge, So that's what I'll 854 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 5: be looking for. But if the total moves one way 855 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 5: or the other, you might not get it or the line. 856 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 5: So keep your eye out there, keep your eye out 857 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 5: in the app. So now the time has come, the 858 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 5: time that you've all been waiting for, the event that 859 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 5: caused Twitter to just stop dead in its tracks. Everyone's 860 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 5: at work, they hear a buzz on their phone and 861 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 5: all of a sudden they look down Collins out in 862 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 5: the play. All right, what's this you? Mass U mass 863 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 5: U mass U mass is the new Yukon. I refuse 864 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 5: to bet this part of my French complete fucking dog 865 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 5: shit U mass team. Someone was like, U mass is 866 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty ninth and stuff right, I'm like 867 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 5: you mass is one hundred On Twitter, I replied, I 868 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 5: was like you, Masses one hundred and twenty ninth. That's 869 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 5: that's an improvement. They're one hundred twenty after one hundred 870 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 5: and thirty. To help us, everything in the country, h 871 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 5: the world is waiting. How can you recommend and play 872 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 5: and put your hard earned money behind the Minutemen as 873 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 5: you U would you say you got your militia gear on. 874 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: I got my militia coat on, my Patriot hat and 875 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 2: my bayonet. First off, this isn't a joke, all right 876 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 2: in our company slack, I posted the ticket. I really 877 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 2: have some real money on the UMass plus seventeen here. 878 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 5: You can't say it without laughing. 879 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 2: Come on, now, I have to get this is big 880 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 2: j here, This is a big j journalism here. Let 881 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 2: me let me get through this, you mass bet here 882 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 2: all right. This all started with one thing, which was 883 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 2: our power ratings, which made Coastal Carolina minus nine. All right, 884 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 2: minus nine? So remember the number sent at seventeen, eight 885 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 2: points higher, A couple of key numbers in there way higher. 886 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 2: So just by that alone, I have to at least 887 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 2: investigate it a little bit. 888 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 5: I know who U mass is. 889 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 2: No, I mean, of course I know who they are, 890 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 2: a ton of I made a shit ton of money 891 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 2: on Charlotte just Boat racing UMass last week. No problems 892 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 2: with that. That thing was done at halftime. I could 893 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,439 Speaker 2: put my phone down. So I looked at the number 894 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 2: eight points off when I got it. Okay, well, let's 895 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 2: keep looking at it. You're telling me that a Sun 896 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 2: Belt team not named app State or Troy or Georgia 897 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: Southern or Ull is going to visit another FBS A 898 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 2: plonent and they're going to be favored by seventeen. Oh 899 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 2: and the team is Coastal Carolina. Let's talk about Coastal Carolina. Sure, 900 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 2: they'd beat Kansas. It was even in total yards, but 901 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 2: the Jayhawks gave them to two turnovers in that game. 902 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: By the way, there was only twelve points scored in 903 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 2: that game. I believe the Chants are averaging like eighteen 904 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 2: twenty three points a game right now. It's not a lot. 905 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 2: The chance to beat Norfolk stake by thirty nine last week. 906 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 2: That team is two hundred and thirty second out of 907 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty six Division One teams on the 908 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 2: Sagarin ratings. All right, Coastal, I think is a little 909 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 2: bit over hyped. This is still a Fred Payton quarterback 910 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 2: that has more interceptions than he does touchdown passes, and 911 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 2: the chance to have one of the worst punting and 912 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 2: red zone defensive units in the nation. I'm talking one, 913 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 2: twenty ninth, one thirtieth. But if you want me to 914 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 2: get down to brass tacks about seventeen points. Coastal is 915 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 2: a triple option on the ground, slow pace offense. They're 916 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 2: not trying to zip it down the field. They're not 917 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 2: trying to throw it over your head. And they have 918 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 2: appalation state next week. I don't know how much they 919 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 2: want to go up there and blow you Mass out 920 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 2: when they got app State next week, when they may 921 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 2: want to hide some things, they may want to disguise 922 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 2: some things. They're not stupid enough to go up there 923 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 2: and give app State a whole bunch of tape. Coastal 924 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 2: is a ground team. They always have been with the 925 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 2: triple if you go when you read Umasses, Walt Bell 926 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 2: up there given pep talk saying we had twenty nine 927 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 2: missed tackles. In other words, we had our arms around 928 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 2: twenty nine Charlotte runners and lost them all. We focused 929 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 2: the entire week on tackling. That's all we did is 930 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 2: work on tackling. I expect better effort out of UMass. 931 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 2: Maybe that gets us twenty nine misses up to fifteen. 932 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: I don't know what improvement at UMass looks like, but 933 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 2: here's what I know. It's a huge double digit number. 934 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 2: With the sun Belt team that loves to run on 935 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 2: the ground as overlooked to app State. Let's go. 936 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 5: When I say UMass in New Yukon, it has more 937 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 5: meaning than just a joke. Like all right, let me 938 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 5: say Simo lost to Missouri last week fifty nothing. The 939 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 5: week before they lost to Montana State thirty eight seventeen. 940 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 5: In week one, they beat Southern Illinois forty four to 941 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 5: twenty six. Southern Illinois went up to UMass and beat 942 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 5: UMass forty five to twenty. Southern Illinois went up to UMass, 943 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 5: the team that lost at Missouri fifty nothing. My point 944 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 5: is when I say they're the New Yukon last year, 945 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 5: it didn't matter what the line was with Yukon, it 946 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 5: didn't matter. They wouldn't cover you. Just early in the 947 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 5: year they would just give up fourteen thousand yards per 948 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 5: play and lose and not cover. And then you just 949 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 5: had to keep dropping them and dropping them and dropping them. 950 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 5: I don't want any part of this. And if this 951 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 5: comes below seventeen, maybe I'll go against you. You make 952 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 5: some good points, your points are ballots. I'll give you 953 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 5: that you passed your test in the explanation phase of 954 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 5: the But Umasses that team they're just you don't touch it. 955 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 5: It's poisonous. You only fade it, or you watch it 956 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 5: from afar and laugh at the box score. Before we 957 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 5: get to yes or no. There'll be more on that, 958 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 5: I'm sure on our show on Saturday morning. Let's go 959 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 5: rapid fire here a bunch of you know, the top 960 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 5: teams in the country are huge favorites. BAMA against Southern Miss, 961 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 5: Clemson against your Charlotte boys, Ohio State against Miami Ohio, 962 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 5: LSU against Vandy. And that's not as high. That's a 963 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 5: twenty four. God, I'm thinking about playing Vandy. It's disgusting. 964 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 5: Their penalties have been a nightmare. It's too many points. 965 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 5: Maybe I'll roll with you in Charlotte. I have no 966 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 5: interest in my Ohio and I think BAM is too high. 967 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 5: But I'm hoping that gets to forty forty one forty two, 968 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 5: So them is not a bad team. 969 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 2: Well we'll start with Vanderbilt here. I mean, the spread 970 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 2: against Georgia was twenty so now this is actually as 971 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 2: you and I were talking and recording the podcast, this 972 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 2: thing steamed up to twenty four and a half. If 973 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 2: it can break twenty four and a half, maybe it 974 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 2: gets up to twenty six, and maybe you want to 975 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 2: buy in on that, because there's just not gonna be 976 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 2: any money on Vanderbilt whatsoever. You know, they hung in 977 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 2: there with Georgia for a while to get close to 978 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 2: that cover. But as far as I've had a lot 979 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 2: of people in my gams asking me about Charlotte and Clemson, 980 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 2: and yeah, I still love Charlotte. 981 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 5: Problem is is I make the. 982 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 2: Number forty two and a half and I want forty 983 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: two and a half, and I just don't think there's 984 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 2: any sharp money. I don't think there's any sharp Charlotte 985 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 2: people standing at the line saying, oh, I've got this 986 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 2: money and I'm waiting to get down on Charlotte. I 987 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 2: think the number is going to steam. I think it's 988 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 2: gonna be enough public steam where I'm gonna be able 989 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 2: to get forty two and a half comfortably. Maybe forty three, 990 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 2: maybe it goes I'm just gonna wait till you and 991 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 2: I are recording Saturday Morning show for the Action Network 992 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 2: and see what the number is there, and I'm sure 993 00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: there'll be a forty three out there. I will happily 994 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 2: take Charlotte. 995 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: Now. 996 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 2: Dabbo and Will Healey are friends so you know, they 997 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: text with each other, and so I don't think there's 998 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 2: going to be anything getting run up here. Dabo's got 999 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 2: North Carolina next week. You know, I do think Trevor 1000 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 2: Lawrence needs to have a four or five six touchdown day. 1001 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 2: But I mean, I'm kind of questioning the over here 1002 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 2: because I've seen Charlotte enough now to know that they 1003 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 2: can put you know, they could get a late garbage touchdown. 1004 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 2: I mean, Texas State we had a problem getting a 1005 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 2: garbage touchdown Charlotte. No problem. As far as Bama Southern 1006 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 2: Misco's we know the rules save and you get over 1007 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 2: five touchdowns in non conference, you take the other team. 1008 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 2: Savans a little bit extra pissed off this year, but 1009 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 2: I still that's a rule thumb, not a game I've 1010 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 2: played yet. You know one we haven't mentioned is I 1011 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 2: think BYU is going to beat Washington flat out. I 1012 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 2: think Jacob E's is going to get shut down by 1013 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 2: a BAU defense. It is great at stopping explosive passing. 1014 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 2: Train moves on for the Cougars. 1015 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 5: Man. 1016 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 2: They just keep beating these Power five teams. It's no 1017 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 2: problem whatsoever. 1018 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is what do 1019 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 5: they have in the tank? Like, are they gonna come 1020 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 5: out sure with the with just a you know they 1021 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 5: played Utah, Tennessee, USC and now Washington. That's my own 1022 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 5: worry there, but I would agree with you. If they 1023 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 5: can come out and have energy, and you know they're 1024 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 5: a team that does practice in altitude so it's a 1025 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 5: well conditioned team, then yeah, I like them, especially at 1026 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 5: seven if you can grab that line's been moving all 1027 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 5: over the place. One someone got my DMS and said, 1028 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 5: we haven't talked about minor Nations. 1029 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 4: We're talking minor Nation out in the west. Tix in 1030 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 4: town of l past So picks. 1031 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 5: Up Minor Nation at home against Nevada fourteen plus fourteen. 1032 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 2: And I should be betting. And they're off a by 1033 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 2: a power rate a twelve, it's fourteen and a half. 1034 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,280 Speaker 2: The problem is is I couldn't mathematically and the advanced 1035 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 2: stats make Nevada as bad as they look. Their power 1036 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 2: rating has them I think outside the top one hundred 1037 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 2: right now. Nevada is falling kind of like what you 1038 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 2: and I said during the summer. So you know, and 1039 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,280 Speaker 2: I don't believe in UTEP. I mean, listen, one shitty 1040 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 2: team a week. Okay, I got you mass I got 1041 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 2: Central Arkansas. 1042 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 5: All right, are you gonna make me bet Texas State 1043 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 5: end or Tulsa. 1044 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break out of Texas State for 1045 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 2: a week. Georgia State has fallen off a cliff. 1046 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 5: It makes me. We're so worried about Tennessee. It's one 1047 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 5: of the things. Tolsa against the fraud that is Wyoming. 1048 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 5: Tell someone is three and a half. 1049 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 2: I think Wyoming is the biggest fraud in all of FBS. 1050 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 2: You know, I'll give it further inspection. I'm looking at 1051 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 2: the number right now. You know the numbers all things 1052 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 2: even the number is exactly where it should be. 1053 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 5: All right, before we go three and out here, let's 1054 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 5: do my favorite segment, FC yes or. 1055 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 6: No, Southland or SEC, Big Sky or Big Ten. It's 1056 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 6: time to play FC yes or No. 1057 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,320 Speaker 5: Usually there's large you know, there's a large slate of 1058 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 5: games that match up FBS and FCS team. There's not 1059 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 5: that many. This week, one that jumps out to me, 1060 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 5: I want you to wait for twenty eight is the 1061 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 5: only one that really jumps up to me. I wait 1062 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 5: for twenty eight on Elon Elon against wake Forest. They're 1063 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 5: gonna be up for this game. Elon's really is a 1064 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 5: good team. You know, if you look at what Elon went, 1065 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 5: you know, trucked Richmond last week. They lost to NCA 1066 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 5: and t in their first week. Who's really good too. 1067 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 5: They're in the top fifteen. Elon's in the top twenty 1068 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 5: in FCS. They have a really strong passing attack. And 1069 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 5: this is just Flat City for Wake. Wake is all 1070 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 5: these emotional wins. You know, they're three and zero. It's 1071 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 5: this is a noon kick against Elon. So if you 1072 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 5: can get four touchdowns here. Elon has a kid at 1073 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 5: quarterback who Wake actually recruited. His name is Chek. They 1074 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,439 Speaker 5: can score points here twenty eight with Elon Flat City 1075 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 5: for Wake here, So that's mine. What do you got 1076 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 5: in FCS? 1077 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 2: No, Southern Illinois salukis this year going up against Arkansas State. 1078 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 5: No, I don't have no unless they play U Mass. 1079 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 2: I've gonna I am going to take the big one, 1080 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 2: the midnight Eastern Standard time game of Hawaii and Central Arkansas. 1081 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 2: The Central Arkansas Purple Bears, who play in my state 1082 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 2: of home state of Arkansas on a purple field. Don't drink. 1083 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 2: They're in a dry county, so Central Arkansas is the 1084 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 2: worst in the FCS in running the ball. There's like 1085 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,879 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen teams in FCS and they rank 1086 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen. They are averaged one point one 1087 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,879 Speaker 2: seven yards per carry. That's pretty poor. And you want 1088 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 2: to know why that is. Central Arkansas loves to throw 1089 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 2: the ball. They're three to zero on the season. They've 1090 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 2: already beaten Western Kentucky. They pulled a close one out 1091 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 2: against Ablee Christian last week, who gets some boats in 1092 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 2: the FCS poll. But there was like three turnovers involved 1093 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,800 Speaker 2: in that game. That's why it was close. Hawaii is 1094 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 2: terrible at defending the pass, so Central Arkansas's coming in 1095 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 2: hot to throw the ball. Hawaii's terrible defending the pass. 1096 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 2: They're below one hundred and fifteenth and allowing ten plus 1097 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 2: yard passes, twenty plus yard passes, and fifty plus yard passes. 1098 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:50,919 Speaker 2: So I'm going to take the Purple Bears here. They're 1099 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 2: going to be able to throw it around, They're going 1100 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 2: to be able to get cheap points. I took them 1101 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 2: at fifteen and a half as I hit it on 1102 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 2: the app as we're talking right now, it went down 1103 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 2: to fourteen and a half. So Sagurin makes this game twelve. 1104 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 2: Try to get over double digits with this. Maybe there'll 1105 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 2: be some Hawaii push some shapers out there, some people 1106 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 2: that like to push fcs shit around at low limits. 1107 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 2: Let them do that. See if you can get a 1108 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 2: fourteen on the Purple Bears here, and I'll be up 1109 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 2: tweeting and writing our wonderful Sunday projections for Week five 1110 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,720 Speaker 2: probably gonna be one of my If you mass covers, 1111 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 2: then I feel like I could take a loss here, 1112 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 2: but I think I'm gonna win both. I might parlay 1113 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:24,439 Speaker 2: them together. 1114 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 5: Right, Oh boy, all right, before we go three and out, lasts, 1115 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,919 Speaker 5: you have to lie to me like you do once 1116 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 5: a week about your Arkansas Hoggs, who are playing just 1117 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 5: an atrocious game, a game on a day that has 1118 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 5: so many good games. I can't imagine you're gonna be 1119 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,359 Speaker 5: watching this game. They play San Jose State at home. 1120 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 5: They're laying three touchdowns. Lay it or stay away. 1121 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 4: Woo pig suey absolute. 1122 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 2: Dumpster fined dumps. 1123 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:51,839 Speaker 5: Fine. 1124 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 2: I don't know how we win a game the rest 1125 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 2: of the year. Just blow a program up, give us 1126 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 2: a death sentence. 1127 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 4: Collins talking razorback football. 1128 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 2: I think you should look at the Spartans. We were 1129 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 2: tied with Colorado State late in the third and Nick 1130 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 2: Starkle finally woke up and led us to score around 1131 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 2: three straight scores against Colorado State to finally pull away. 1132 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 2: But Bobo and Colorado State were able to put up 1133 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 2: thirty five points against Arkansas not in press, and San 1134 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,479 Speaker 2: Jose State is about equal level with Colorado State. Twenty 1135 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 2: one is just too much in my opinion, it's an overreaction. 1136 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 5: All right, before we get out of here, let's go 1137 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 5: three and out. 1138 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 4: Let's make it a quick three and out. 1139 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,280 Speaker 5: All right, for first down, Let's talk Friday night lights. 1140 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 4: Let's here, gentlemen, clear eyes, full hearts, Let's go play 1141 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 4: some football. 1142 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 5: We have some great games in my opinion, on Friday 1143 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:49,320 Speaker 5: Night USC and Utah. This line's floating between three and 1144 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 5: a half and four. Utah three and a half, four 1145 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 5: point favorite at USC at the coliseum where they've never won. 1146 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 5: I think the last time they won in Los Angeles 1147 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 5: was in nineteen sixteen. Fact check me on that, but 1148 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 5: I think that's right. Sometime we're in over one hundred 1149 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 5: years ago. 1150 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:04,439 Speaker 2: The air raid. 1151 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,879 Speaker 5: USC runs the ARA. They have one of the most 1152 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 5: talented groups of receivers in the country. You know, Slovist, 1153 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 5: their freshman quarterback. He struggled a little bit at Buyu, 1154 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 5: making some bad throws, but I think we'll be more 1155 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 5: comfortable at home. The air rad just gives Utah and 1156 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 5: their scheme fits. I think there's some value with USC, 1157 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 5: who I have plus four. I also like the over 1158 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 5: because USC has shown that they can't they struggle with 1159 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 5: mobile quarterbacks. They're struggling off the edge, So I think 1160 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 5: that Utah is going to be able to move the ball. 1161 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,399 Speaker 5: I think this is a shootout and a close one. 1162 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 5: I'm going to say thirty one twenty eight Utah finds away. 1163 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'm as confident about Utah. So let's 1164 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 2: just let me preface this because I've told a lot 1165 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 2: of people this. If you followed what we were doing 1166 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 2: back in the spring when it was all Utah ten 1167 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,720 Speaker 2: to one, Utah six to one, Utah plus three fifty 1168 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,360 Speaker 2: for the PAC twelve Championship, you need to put at 1169 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 2: least a unit on USC right here. And I'm not 1170 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 2: saying moneyline. I'm saying take the points because you could 1171 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 2: middle a future and a potential game that could decide 1172 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 2: the division here, So put money down anyways, just for 1173 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 2: that reason for taking USC. Now, if you don't have 1174 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 2: any money invested in Utah whatsoever, still take USC. I 1175 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 2: positive that they're going to cover. This is one of 1176 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 2: my most sure things of the week, is them covering 1177 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 2: this game. And it's because of the air raid offense. 1178 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 2: Because they're going to be throwing downfield. You're not gonna 1179 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: be able to get anywhere on Utah's front seven. USC 1180 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 2: is not gonna be able to power against them. It's 1181 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 2: gonna be Slovas running the air raid. Do I think 1182 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 2: you talk put up points? Yeah, but it ain't gonna 1183 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 2: be smash mouth in your face up against you know, 1184 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 2: through the center and the guards. It's gonna be outside 1185 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 2: the tackles. There's gonna be a lot. I think there's 1186 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 2: gonna be plenty of points scored in this game. I 1187 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 2: think USC covers this game. I hope they lose, but 1188 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 2: I mean I'm legitimately worried about the Pacto South because 1189 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 2: of this game. If Utah makes it through this game, 1190 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 2: then we got a freebe to lose somewhere. We can 1191 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 2: lose to Washington, we can lose to Wazoo whatever. They're 1192 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 2: gonna win tie breakers to win the South Division, but 1193 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 2: this is the big one. 1194 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 5: Should be a good one. We have our betting guide 1195 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 5: out there for Friday night, which you can check out 1196 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 5: tomorrow or today when you're listening to this if you're 1197 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 5: listening to the pod on the Action app and actionnetwork 1198 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 5: dot Com. The other game that I really like, one 1199 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 5: of my favorite games on the board now it's down 1200 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 5: the seven is air Force plus eight against Boise State. 1201 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 5: Air Force is legit. They're a legitimate contender in the 1202 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 5: Mountain West. They can win this game. And coming into 1203 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 5: the season, these were two teams that had their strength 1204 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 5: was going to be offensive line. Boise State was one 1205 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,439 Speaker 5: of three teams in the country that had all five 1206 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,800 Speaker 5: starters coming back on the offensive line. Well, that hasn't happened. 1207 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 5: They've had injuries all over, They've had you know, both 1208 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 5: their tackles are most likely going to be out against 1209 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,800 Speaker 5: air Force. Who was in the backfield all down in 1210 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 5: Colorado and now they have two freshmen in there. Everyone's 1211 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 5: playing different percentages. Coming into the Portland State game, their quarterback, 1212 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 5: back mart was hit more than any other quarterback in 1213 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,359 Speaker 5: the country and Portland State was getting pressure on them. 1214 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 5: On the other side, we talked about Georgia's offensive line stats. 1215 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 5: Go ahead and take a look at whose second in 1216 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 5: those you know, lineyards and opportunities. That's air Force. That 1217 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 5: offensive line is legit. It's athletic. You know, it's all 1218 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 5: the guys back from last year. They're deep, They're gonna 1219 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,879 Speaker 5: run this, They're gonna, you know, control the ball. Hammond also, 1220 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,279 Speaker 5: could you know they have someone who could throw it. 1221 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 5: You know, they're they're not gonna throw it a bunch. 1222 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 5: They're obviously gonna run. You know, the only team running 1223 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 5: it more on average per game this year is Navy, 1224 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 5: and you know, then it's Air Force and then it's Army. 1225 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,879 Speaker 5: But when they're taking shots, Hammond can get it down 1226 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 5: the field. And this is the best air Force secondary 1227 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 5: they've had in a while. It's still not a strength, 1228 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 5: it's never going to be a strength of Air Force, 1229 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 5: but it's their best secondary they've had in a while. 1230 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 5: This Air Force team is legit. They're gonna win in 1231 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 5: the trenches. Boise States also gonna be missing a free 1232 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 5: safety Pierce, Who's would be excellent covering the option and 1233 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,839 Speaker 5: has done so in the past, but their tackles being 1234 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,919 Speaker 5: out makes this offensive line a mess. On Boise side, 1235 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 5: it's a rock on air Force's side. Lines down to seven. 1236 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 5: Anything seven and over I think is good. This Air 1237 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 5: Force team is real and it's spectacular. What do you see? 1238 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 2: I uh, one hundred percent agree with you. You know, 1239 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,720 Speaker 2: we're a big fan of the Air Force here hopefully 1240 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 2: win the Commander in Chief. They got a good chance 1241 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 2: to do it this year with what they got in 1242 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:08,319 Speaker 2: the trenches. I think market wise that this there may 1243 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 2: be a couple of books to get to seven and 1244 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 2: a half. I'm seeing some juice steam up. And really 1245 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 2: there are people out there that just probably see the 1246 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 2: Boise and Boise playing at home. It happens every time 1247 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 2: happening it's Marshalls. But you know it's a big win 1248 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,399 Speaker 2: for air Force. They're on a letdown after they won 1249 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,799 Speaker 2: that game. It's a service academy. That doesn't happen all right. 1250 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 5: So I think seven thousand feet elevation that's where they 1251 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 5: practice or sefty six hundred. I think Wyoming's the only 1252 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,839 Speaker 5: one to hire, but these kids are I think they're 1253 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 5: gonna be hired or these are the most well conditioned 1254 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 5: team in the country. 1255 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,839 Speaker 2: So I may pop on some top gun soundtrack music 1256 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,839 Speaker 2: and watch this game late at night on side TV 1257 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,879 Speaker 2: from Utah USC. I think there's gonna be some seven 1258 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: and a half's clip out there, which yeah, Air Force, 1259 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 2: Well you'll see it pop in and to pivot over, 1260 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 2: I'm actually going to have a play on Florida International. 1261 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 2: I think they're finally going to get it together here 1262 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,440 Speaker 2: we're getting into conference play. There's problems with Louisiana Tech, 1263 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 2: especially on the run. On the ground. They have one 1264 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 2: of the best secondaries in the nation. I think this 1265 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 2: game is going to be complete ground all the time. 1266 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 2: I like the under in this game. I think the 1267 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 2: number is way too high. It's come down from I 1268 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 2: think nine eight, seven a half it's now down to seven. 1269 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 2: I think here, within an hour or two, I'll have 1270 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 2: an alert out of the action app. I like Florida 1271 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 2: International in the spot. I think Butcher to get his 1272 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 2: guys up. Finally, with conference play starting. 1273 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 5: There, you go all right, moving on to second down 1274 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 5: before we get to our money line, underdog parlay. Let's 1275 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 5: just one word answer here, favorite switch it out, Favorite 1276 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 5: NFL play of the weekend. I'll start Lions three words 1277 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 5: or ravens dead less than three words? 1278 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 2: All right, Jets, All right, there. 1279 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 5: You have it, Lions and Jets. All right, before we 1280 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 5: get out of here. Third down, money line underdog. 1281 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:52,239 Speaker 1: Parlay turning good weekends into great weekends. It's time for 1282 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: the money line parlay. 1283 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 5: Colin has hit all of his this year. 1284 00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 6: I have not. 1285 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,720 Speaker 5: I am still and will forever be mad at Akron 1286 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 5: for last week. This week, I'm gone with our friend, 1287 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,720 Speaker 5: our friend who continues to be undervalued in the market, 1288 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,759 Speaker 5: our friend who has covered every game this year. Our 1289 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 5: friend who put up eighty I think last week, our 1290 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 5: friend who we have, you know, to win the conference 1291 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 5: at some good prices, and that's La Lafe Uel Lafayette 1292 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 5: against Ohio. They're catching three, three and a half at Ohio. Look, 1293 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 5: these are two teams that can run the ball. I 1294 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 5: think they're both in the top twenty five and rush offense. 1295 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 5: But Ohio can't defend the run at all. Marshall ran 1296 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 5: all over them and you can't stop this La Lafy 1297 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 5: rushing attack with their backs is explosive and Ohio is 1298 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 5: not gonna be able to stop them. 1299 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 2: Unlike last week when you made me grumble with the 1300 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 2: with the Akron. That one is stamp sealed and approved. 1301 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 2: It was between two teams for me. The one that 1302 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 2: I threw out everybody was Stanford. It's a really you know, 1303 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 2: ten and a half point was about a plus three 1304 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 2: ten on the money line. I will be playing it anyways. 1305 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 2: And this is a couple of my round robins. I 1306 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 2: don't organ on the road. I never have. Don't trust crystaball. 1307 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 2: But moving on, not for this for the Underdog Podcast 1308 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 2: money line parlay, it's going to be San Diego State 1309 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 2: plus one fifty five. I think they're going to get 1310 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,480 Speaker 2: it done against Utah State.
