Speaker 3: Oh my godness.

00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: He stumbled, and football the lateral turn a canter on

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: the inside.

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: Don't you believe I'm not gonna table off the field

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: to night. It's not the size of the dog in

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog.

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: What's up the generation? Welcome to the Big Bets on

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: Campus Podcast. This is the Big Ten College Football Betting Preview,

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Part two. I'm stucky, joining me as always my fellow

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: BBOC co host Colin Wilson. If you missed it, Part

15
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: one is already out. We covered Penn State, Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington,

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: and Illinois. In this part we will cover Iowa, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Minnesota,

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: Michigan State, UCLA, Northwestern Maryland, and last but not least,

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: or maybe at least, Purdue got a lot to get to,

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: so let's just jump right back in. Let's start with

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: the Iowa Hawkeyes.

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: The Iowa hawk guys under.

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Seven and a half juice, think best. If you want

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: to go unders minus one forty five out there, plus

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: seven to sixty to make the College Foball playoff, forty

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: five to one to win the conference is the best

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: price that you'll find out there. This is a team

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: that's I was going to rely on development. Look, they

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: only brought in, but they brought in like just a

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: handful of lower level transfers. That's it. This is Iowa.

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: They or not going to go in and it's not

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: all miss. It's the complete opposite approach. They rely on

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: developing their players, They rely on coaching stability, which they

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: still have. And but they did go in even though

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: he's a lower level player. They might have their best

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 2: quarterbacks since I don't know Ricky Stanzy and Mark Kronowski.

36
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: They brought him in from South Dakota State. We'll see

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: if he can make the leap, if he can stay

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: healthy for the whole season, that's certainly a question. But

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: that's the bultish case with Iowas. Do they have a quarterback,

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: Do they have a passing attack? Now? Do they have

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: the wide receivers that's a question. They are all back,

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: which is good. Their offensive line should be a strength.

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: I also should mention that they lost Caleb Johnson to

44
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: the NFL, who went to the Steelers. Molton takes over.

45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: Can he take that next step? Probably gonna be a

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: drop off. They're gonna need Gridowski and those receivers to

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: do more this year. Defensively, it was a down year

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: for Phil Parker and his unit, a rare down year

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: to give up too many easy completions. There's no negative plays.

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: And in the special teams, you know they're gonna be elite.

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: They're all back. Leigian is back as the return man

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: and it's just Iowa. They're probably gonna win games on

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: special teams. But they did lose dye guys who are

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: now currently on NFL rosters. But can they get a

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: wide receiver that can just get five hundred yards? They

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: haven't had that happened since twenty nineteen. Insane. Last year,

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: they had a very easy schedule. They played seven of

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: the bottom eight and only one of the top six.

59
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: That was the year for Iowa. This year they have

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: to play five of the top seven and they get

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: none of the bottom four, so the schedule definitely gets tougher,

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: although they do avoid Michigan and Ohio State and Indiana,

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: Oregon and Penn State came two Iowa, so there's going

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: to be some opportunities for them to pull some upsets.

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: I think the floor is like four or five, the

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: ceiling is nine. Parence usually does best when there's not

67
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: a ton of expectations, and maybe that's the case this year.

68
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: I haven't with a lot of coin flips. I mean

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: I have nine single digit spreads projected four spreads under three.

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: Like there's every game is winnable or losable. Besides what

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Albany and UMass, what are you seeing with Iowa? Does

72
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: the defense have that bounce back year? I mean last

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: year they lost three games when leading by double digits.

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: Prior to last year to Farris they were seventy four

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: to two. They only lost two games before last year

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: when leading by double digits, lost three last year. What

77
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: are you seeing with the Hawkeyes win total seven and

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: a half?

79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: Well, the good news for Iowahawkeye fans is Gronowski did

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: not play in the spring game because of injury. But

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: he is in camp and he is for all things

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: that I've read okay and practicing just fine. Ninety three touchdowns,

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: twenty interceptions in four years for the Jacks, a low

84
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: two percent turnover worthy play rates. So you're getting a

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: real quarterback, which is very important for Iowa football. The

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: first time in quite a while, Iowa's offensive line was

87
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: horrible eightieth in line yards. Caleb Johnson's yards all came

88
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: because of Caleb Johnson. So I think it's a good

89
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: thing that Kamari Moulton was three point six yards after

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: first contact because he's going to have to probably create

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: his own yards again. And that's the reason. Like I

92
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 3: would love to say, Iowa was going to upset teams

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: that are soft on the interior from a run defense perspective,

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I've got to see a

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: push out of the interior of this offensive line because

96
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't there last year. That's a bigger question for

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: me than who Granowski is going to throw to on

98
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: the outside. The defensive line might be the best in

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: the big ten, six of the eight in the two

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: deeper turn, but you know, this is a massive amount

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: of coin flips on this schedule. Like you said, I mean,

102
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: in the last ten years, Farence thirty and sixteen against

103
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: the spread on the road, Iowa shows up on the

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: road they always have and he always covers the number

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: at a high clip of about sixty six percent. I

106
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: think Iowa can go over their win total. I make

107
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: the seven point three the number in the market over

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 3: six and a half minus one seventy or you can

109
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: get an ultra. I'd rather do an all seven at

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, minus one twenty or minus one ten. But

111
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 3: I do think that they are a seven win team.

112
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little lower than you, like six six

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: to five, but I don't think I'm going under. Like

114
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: there's just so many coin flips, and then you have

115
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: the Iowa voodoo and I'm just totally not I'm not

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: completely confident in Gronowski.

117
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: Do you know what the problem is the problem with

118
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: returning experience is you take Gronowski's numbers and you plug

119
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: them in the Iowa offense, and then it makes it

120
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: look like you have like one thousand percent returning and

121
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: passing yards. And that's like an issue that this portal

122
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: has been like biting on with tart for like three

123
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: years now, right, because it's not not every yard is

124
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: the same at FCS as it is an FBS, Right,

125
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: It's not even the same. This is the gap between

126
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: G five and power for anymore. It's like you just

127
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: can't plug yards and say that's what we have, and

128
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: that's affecting wind totals. And I think that's where there's

129
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: a gap between you and me. Right, A huge a.

130
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: Big range of outcomes for what this team could be.

131
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: But we'll be interesting to watch, like an exciting quarterback

132
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: to watch in Iowa. Who would have ever thought, all right,

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 2: let's move on to Golden Gophers in Minnesota.

134
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Golden Gophers.

135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: If they gave me one word to describe you right now, man,

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: that would be a trailblazer. You know what trailblazers do.

137
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: They blaze trails for other people to Becomingly.

138
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: You have blazed trails for others who thought this was

139
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 3: never possible.

140
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: So win total out there. You can get under seven

141
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: plus money, under seven plus one point fifteen. I think

142
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: if you want to go under one hundred and twenty

143
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: five to one to win the Big Ten, thirteen to

144
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: one to make the College Football Playoff. This is a

145
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: team last year that I loved betting. I loved their defense.

146
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: I love Brosmer, who really started to come on. He's

147
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: now with the Vikings towards the end of the year.

148
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: Major questions. Now at quarterback, it's gonna be redshirt freshman

149
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: Lindsey as the guy for the Gophers. You got your

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: workhorse back in Taylor. In the backfield you had Turner

151
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: and Davis as well. It's a good backfield. But wide receiver,

152
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: you lose Jackson and Spencer, who were eighty percent of

153
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: your targets last year. You bring in some transfers Coleman,

154
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: Lloy and Tracy. I think there's a drop off there.

155
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Maybe Koy Parrish, their defensive back, who is going to

156
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: get some look at wide receiver too, is a potential

157
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: two way player. We'll see. Offensive line, you lose Ursrie,

158
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: your left tackle to the NFL, your left guard, Cooper

159
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: to the NFL. You right tackle, Carol. They had one

160
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: hundred plus combined big ten starts. It looks like, you know,

161
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: Beers is going to move from guard to center, your

162
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: center's back moving to left guard. You're gonna five at

163
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: a new position. It looks like for Minnesota on the

164
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: offensive line, eighty percent of your target's gone and now

165
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: a rich air freshman quarterback. And this is an offensive

166
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: system where the coordinator Harball asks a lot of the quarterbacks.

167
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna have a super inexperienced guy. That could

168
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: be problematic. Defensively, you lose your two defensive ends to

169
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: the NFL. Your interiors back, but they're pretty thin overall. Linebacker,

170
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: you know, you lost Linnenberg to the NFL. You have

171
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: a couple guys back you had rovers to Fromoke State,

172
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: and then in the defensive backfield, you lose both your

173
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: corners to the NFL, your nickelback to the NFL. Your

174
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: safety group is pretty good, but your cornerback room is

175
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: way down. I'm also worried about their special teams, which

176
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: could be way down. In fairness, the offensive line could

177
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: not block last year for the run game. Yah, a

178
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: couple guys went to the NFL. They just couldn't block. Uh.

179
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: They were one hundred and eleventh in line yards, lowest

180
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: by far at Minnesota in the past fifteen years. But

181
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure they fixed that with who they brought in. Like,

182
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: the tight end room is decent, so maybe you're going

183
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 2: to see some more usage of the tight ends, but

184
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a lot of questions on this team.

185
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: There's ten players lost to the NFL. Six on defense.

186
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: The good thing is if you look at the bullsh

187
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: case for Minnesota is their schedule I project them. I'm

188
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: six point twenty five under under under for me, maybe

189
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: they'd probably get to a Bowl. But I think this

190
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: is a six and sixteen.

191
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: I've been waiting for this moment to talk to you about.

192
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: This is Minnesota gonna lose in Week one against Buffalo

193
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 3: on this offense Quarterback Tree sucker face. Minnesota's only good

194
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: is that offensive line and Darius Taylor may need to

195
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: create all the highlight yards because there was going to

196
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: be one starter offensive line with twenty four career starts,

197
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: and the portal brought in fifty five starts, and you think,

198
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: oh good, they're bringing in fifty five starts, And then

199
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: you go and look at some of these guys. Guard

200
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: Marcellus Marshall from Kenny's, he was one hundred and sixtieth

201
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: of all guards in PFF. Ray from Ken Dylan Ray

202
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: five hundred and twenty fifth for Kentucky.

203
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: And the Washington left tack was also really bad.

204
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: This offensive line is really bad. It's not just bringing

205
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: in fifty five starts, it's fifty five shitty starts. So

206
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: I started the handicap with the question, I'm coming back

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 3: to you because you just did the MAC podcast, and

208
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: I know how good Buffalo is because I'm down watching

209
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: Mike Washington and practice here at the University of Arkansas

210
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: just tearing shit up right. I know what they're doing

211
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: at Buffalo because I'm with you on the under but

212
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna play, but I might play. Is Buffalo

213
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: beating Minnesota outright in week one?

214
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it wouldn't shock me. It's week one and

215
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: like Minnesota is with the redshirt freshman quarterback, Buffalo bringing.

216
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: Back a lot we love Pete Limbo.

217
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't completely shock me.

218
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: I'm playing Buffalo week one.

219
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll probably Buffalo week one two. All right, let's

220
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: move on to Wisconsin. We're in Wisconsin and this season

221
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: we're shaking things up. There's going to be cheese and.

222
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Beer and a lot of beer.

223
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: When I say win, you say content Wi.

224
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: This hasn't been amasing interesting season here for Luke Fickle. Wisconsin.

225
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: You could find over five minus one forty out there

226
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: if you wanted to go over that's the best price,

227
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: But they're implied win totals right around five point three

228
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: five point twenty five, thirty five to one to make

229
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 2: the playoffs, one hundred and fifty to one to win

230
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: the conference. Look, they bring a ton back top twenty

231
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: returning production and Spargan because they added a quarterback also

232
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: from Maryland and Billy Edwards who I think does fit

233
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: with the Grime system. Ye will he stay healthy? I mean,

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: Fikele hasn't had a quarterback stay healthy all year once

235
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 2: in three years. But Grimes is going to implement the

236
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: RBO offense, reliable, violent offense, got a misdirection wide zone

237
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: run to set up play action. So it's a better

238
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 2: fit than what Phil Logo was trying to do. This

239
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: fits with what Wisconsin wants to do. They do lose

240
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: Walker at running back, but they need some young guys

241
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: to step up. But that kid what's his name, Yaka

242
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: and Elli, he's an athletic freak. They might use him

243
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 2: in a bunch of different ways at wide receiver. You

244
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: got a couple guys back.

245
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: You add a.

246
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: Ballard from Ohio State who was intriguing offensive line, right

247
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: guard and left tackle, major questions. There's a battle at

248
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: right guard. You lost your left tackle to the NFL

249
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: and your right guard. The NFL. That's really what I'm

250
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: watching there. Your other three are back. Defensively, they got

251
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: a lot bigger.

252
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: This is what I like.

253
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: What Wisconsin did they? I mean last year they lost

254
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: a couple of their defensive linem into injuries and they

255
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: just didn't have a ton of size. They added Walker

256
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: from Western Michigan. I like him. This is like the

257
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: opposite end of the spectrum compared to Minnesota. I like

258
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: some of these guys that they brought in. Sugs from LSU,

259
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 2: Peterson from Tulane. They beefed up. They have more depth

260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: defensive backfield. He lost Uf Hollman and Zachman. They're solid.

261
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Forkern their other corner. I don't he's not eligible. He

262
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: might be. He's appealing it, so you're gonna lose him

263
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: at corner. He lost Wooler to the NFL, so you're

264
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: gonna need some guys to step up. They brought in

265
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: Hill from Miami. Matt Mitchell, not our producer, but the

266
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: outside linebacker coach and the special team coach. He's on

267
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: He's on the hot seat along with Fickle. His jobs

268
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: on the line because both struggled really bad last year.

269
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: They struggled immensely from a scheduling perspective, it's not easy.

270
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: I will say they had the I think the number one,

271
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: number one hardest schedule in the country. Good thing is

272
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: they faced ten new quarterbacks. That's the second most. There's

273
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 2: some variants here, but they only get one of the

274
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: projected bottom six. They don't play Perdue, Northwestern UCLA, Michigan State,

275
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: or Rutgers. And by the way, last year they only

276
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: beat Northwestern, Perdue and Rutgers in Big Ten play. They

277
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: don't get any of those three Batman and on con

278
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: play eight of the projected top eleven. And they're on

279
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: a run of two twenty one against ranked teams they

280
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: could face depending on how thing's break. Eight ranked teams

281
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: this year, there's no breaks after week two, maybe outside

282
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: of Maryland at home. You gotta start three and one.

283
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: You gotta beat Miami, you gotta beat Middle Tennessee. You

284
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: gotta be Maryland at home. You're gonna lose at Alabama.

285
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: So is there are there three more wins here? I

286
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: don't know. I think they're gonna be better than people think.

287
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Think they're gonna be much better on the front seven.

288
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a d that got no HAVOC

289
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: Class one hundred and twenty eighth and HAVOC thirteen tackles

290
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,479
Speaker 2: for loss dead last. Wisconsin was dead last in the country. Tapasquast,

291
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: you know how many sacks fat seventeen few since nineteen

292
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: eighty three. I think they will be better in that department.

293
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: I project them at five point eight eight, so you know,

294
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: like an over five minus one forty. Like where are

295
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: the wins coming? Like there's someone Illinois at home. I

296
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: think Minnesota on the road is gettible, Washington at home

297
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: is gettible. I wouldn't be surprised if they knock off

298
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: Ohio State or in Iowa thinking that because they really

299
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: did improve the front seven of their defense. I think

300
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: Wisconsin is getting back to a Bowl to start a

301
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: new streak after their run of bowls ended last year.

302
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: What do you think of the Badgers.

303
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: One of the biggest victories you can have in your

304
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: personal life is to know who you are and know

305
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: what makes you tick. Wisconsin, You've always known who you are.

306
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: Why the sam hell they went to Longo? I could

307
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: never figure it out. You know what the state produces

308
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: from a high school level, and you know what you're

309
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: looking for and then all of a sudden, Alongo offense

310
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: to getting Jeff Grimes is getting back to exactly what

311
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: Wisconsin football is going to be. I think it's a

312
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: great shift. The ground and pound is back. Billy Edwards

313
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: has to stay healthy because he's going to play that

314
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: Jaylen Daniels role at Kansas who had over three hundred

315
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: yards on designed runs last year for Kansas. So if

316
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: that's what Billy Edwards is going to be expected to do.

317
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: Both second year running backs Darian Dupre Dylan Jones a

318
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: list under two hundred fifty pounds. So it's not really

319
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: the typical Wisconsin ron dain look that you're wanting to,

320
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: you know, out of this backfield, can they handle a

321
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: full season? That's my worry, Stuck is like the size

322
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: of these running backs and then Billy Edwards and what

323
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: they're going to do with their body. Do you survive

324
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: the Alabama game? Are you healthy enough to win against

325
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: Maryland the next week? You should be. You're going to

326
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: be twenty point favorites. There are three returning starters in

327
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: the offensive line. There's one hundred and eleven starts. Is

328
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: that a good thing? I mean the big play, I mean,

329
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: there's their pass blocking was fine, their lineyards fell below

330
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: top fifty. That's going to improve here with Jeff Grimes

331
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: and his schemes former offensive line coach before he was

332
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: a Baylor before you know, when he was a BYU,

333
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: So you know, I need to see remarkable improvement in

334
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: the box or against Miami Ohio Middle Tennessee from a

335
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: lineyards perspective, I think then I'll be ready to bet

336
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: them and other spots on the schedule on the defensive side,

337
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: one of the higher I think why I make this

338
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: six point three versus your number that's in the fives

339
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 3: is because of the experiences coming back and the additions

340
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: that are coming in through the portal. Their corners. For

341
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: Quarion Ricardo Hollman, they had nine combined PBUs. Outside linebacker

342
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: Christian Allegro was a second leading tackler on the team,

343
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: one of the best in the Big Ten, and Trustle's

344
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: two four five heavy defensive back scheme. It limits EPA.

345
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: They were top fifteen defensive rushing past EPA. But they

346
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: didn't You mentioned the havoc number one hundred and twenty eighth,

347
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 3: like we're just not doing anything here about taking the

348
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 3: ball away. That has to improve one hundred and twenty

349
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: first a contested catch eight. You're this is just fundamentals.

350
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: I mean, in no way should a Wisconsin defense in

351
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: a secondary be one hundred near bottom fifteen and create

352
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: a contested catch. So they've got to get back to fundamentals.

353
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: We'll see if Trustle can get that done. You're right,

354
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: the schedule doesn't get any easy for Fickle. Does the

355
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: administration kind of give him a pass again? I mean,

356
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: Baman and non con at Michigan in October fourth, Iowa

357
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: and Washington come to Camp Randle, both off of a

358
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: bye week. Ohio states sandwiched in between.

359
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: At Oregon there two there's no breaks.

360
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: Is the is the administration patient of a fickle I'm

361
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: not sure if he gets another year. I make it six.

362
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: But he just made a fatal flow going with Grimes

363
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: completely that might end up costing.

364
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: And you know, there's a lot of rumors out there

365
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: floating around, like, I mean, look Aticle's assistance when he

366
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: was at Cincinnati, right, Marcus Freeman, what he's doing at

367
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. But I make it six point three. I'd

368
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: play over if I had to play the win total.

369
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: Let me say one more thing, on this. I think

370
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 3: that number in week one is not a good number.

371
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: I think it should be another I think it should

372
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: be at least a touchdown higher against Miama Ohio. Miama

373
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 3: Ohio not returning a lot, not got a lot going

374
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 3: on in the MAC. But what Grimes wants to do

375
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: and with the health level they should be at in

376
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: week one, they should I have a steam hole.

377
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: Going to be a problem early on. That's the only

378
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: way I could look there. But we'll talk much more

379
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: about that in Week zero and Week one preview podcasts.

380
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Rutgers, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

381
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: How about the scallt nights of Rutgers.

382
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: Rutgers win total. If you want to go over best,

383
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: you can find it over five and a half minus

384
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: one forty four, So implied, you're getting close to six

385
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: twenty five to one to make the playoff, two hundred

386
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: and fifty to one to win the conference. Best you

387
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: can find out there. Look, the schedule gets much tougher.

388
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna start with. There's last year, no

389
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State, no Oregon, no Michigan, no Penn State. Well

390
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: they get the top three this year they play Oregon,

391
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: they're at Ohio State, they host Penn State to end

392
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: the year, so the schedule gets much tougher. Kenn, this

393
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: team get the three straight bolts. That's face we were betting.

394
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 2: If you want to bet the win total, gotta pay

395
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: a little juice for it. And if they do, they're

396
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: probably going to the Pinstripe Bowl. And last year, by

397
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: the way, they got Maryland and Sparti late in the

398
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: year who basically quit and they were pretty lucky against Washington,

399
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: as you know all too well. This year, you do

400
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: have Maryland late, but you're at Illinois, at Ohio State,

401
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: Penn State, Oregon, all in the second half of your schedule.

402
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: So I think that they're going to go three to

403
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: no non conference Ohio, Miami, Norfolk. They could face up

404
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: to six ranked teams, probably four or five, and they're

405
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: zero to forty versus ranked team since two thousand and nine.

406
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: Crazy calick Manis is back the Greek rifle experience quarterback

407
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. That's good to have. Although his

408
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: ceiling isn't the highest. He had a decent year last year. Yeah, Minangai,

409
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: he's gone to the NFL. You bring in CJ. Campbell,

410
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: from Fau Raymond. His back running back room definitely be

411
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: down a little bit. You lost some receivers, but duff

412
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: and stronger back. You had Sheffield from North Texas, so

413
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: I like this Rutgers wide receiver room. Offensive line, the

414
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: tackles are the biggest question for me. You lost your

415
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: left tackle Pierce to the NFL. You might be starting

416
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: a Lafayette transfer left tackle in Langsdale, so you might

417
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: be going from an NFL left tackle to a Lafayette

418
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: transferred left tackle is a huge position to watch. Defensively,

419
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: you lose some guys, but there were so many injuries,

420
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: so many injuries. I like their additions on the defensive line,

421
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: really sharp ads like jmu Ads, the Weaver from Ohio.

422
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: I really like they needed to get more pressure. So

423
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: this is a solid team. It's not gonna win. The

424
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: Big Ten schedule does get tougher. My biggest questions how

425
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: big is the drop off at running back, left tackle,

426
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: specifically can Walker improve it? Linebacker? And then the defensive

427
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: line in their defense backield It's going to come down

428
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: to their transfers hitting. What do you see with Rutgers

429
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: this year?

430
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: The biggest handicap of ruggers, and why I continued to

431
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: play them last year consistently all the time as they

432
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: were top five and havoc allowed. They are extremely well

433
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 3: coached under Greg Ciano with Kirk Saraka and then Rob

434
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 3: Smith as a defensive coordinator. They're extremely well coached. They

435
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: don't make mistakes, and last year they won four games

436
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: outright as an underdog. Well, look, I don't try to

437
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: hide from who we are or what we are. We've

438
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: been playing football longer than anybody else on the planet.

439
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: But it's time. It's time to get going, it's time

440
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 3: to make a mark. So when you see a lot

441
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: of coin flips on this and we're asking after the

442
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: first three in the non con can they get there

443
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: to six, my answer is yes, I'm taking over five

444
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: and a half minus one twenty five.

445
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: I'm at six point twenty five.

446
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 3: For what it's worth, I have full confidence they're going

447
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 3: to be able to keep that havoc allowed number within

448
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: the top five. Now, I have problems with Athan caliac

449
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: Manus and his numbers. Even in Kirk Saraka's second season

450
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: with him, he had an eighteen to seven t D

451
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: to I INT, but more turnover worth he plays and

452
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: big time throws. Really it was on blitz downs. When

453
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 3: Caliakmanna sees blitz his turnover worthy play right goes from

454
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: one point six to five point seven percent. Accuracy is

455
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 3: a huge issue. You know, they were fiftieth and tackle grading.

456
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: That's that's coaching fundamentals. I expect that to stay. They

457
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: were fiftieth and contested catch right, that's coaching fundamentals. I

458
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: expect that to stay. But you know, there are a

459
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: lot of questions on the back end of that defense.

460
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: They're going to cruise in the non conference game. I'm

461
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: going over five and a half. I think the coaching

462
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 3: staff makes the deficiencies we see in these numbers not

463
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: mean as much. Every everywhere Hiano goes, it's a very

464
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: well coached team. So I'm going over five and a half.

465
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 3: Numerous spots to get out of this hedge spots as

466
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: far as coin flips go. But at the same time,

467
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: they won four games outright as underdogs. To me, that's

468
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: coaching with this roster. So I'm going to take them

469
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: over five and a half.

470
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on. Let's talk a little Spardy.

471
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: The Michigan State Spartans best.

472
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: You can find out there if you want to go

473
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: over over five and a half minus one thirty five

474
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: eighteen to one to make the Collechwell cloff two hundred

475
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: to one the best to win the Big Ten, implied

476
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: wind total is basically like five point seven five. So

477
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: you're betting on them, paying a little bit and betting

478
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: on them if they're gonna go to a bowl or not.

479
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: If you want to bet their win total. The bullish

480
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 2: case is this is year two of Smith and his coordinators,

481
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: end of Aiden Chiles at quarterback. You go through a

482
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: full install, you have a year under your belt, and

483
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: their top twenty in returning production just like Rutgers is

484
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: so they bring a ton back. The teams that are

485
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: in the top twenty returning production in the Big Ten

486
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: are Illinois, Wisconsin, Rutgers, and Michigan State. Chiles is back.

487
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: He needs to improve a lot to work on thirteen

488
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: big time throws last year twenty turnover really plays. He

489
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: needs to work on his timing, reading coverages.

490
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: You know, his sacks.

491
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: He took too many sacks the red zone. He needs

492
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: to be better. He had fumbling issues, but he was

493
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: pressured on forty two percent of his dropbacks that was

494
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: bottom ten in the country, so he wasn't getting a

495
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: ton of help. Does lose two backs of the NFL.

496
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: They bring in Tolliver for Sack State, but their running

497
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: back room probably takes a step back. Wide receiver. You

498
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: lose Foster to the NFL and Johnson in North Carolina.

499
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: Marsh's back, he's a stud. And they bring in some

500
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: guys I like Namlily McCrae and Kelly Velling back at

501
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 2: tight end, and your other top two. I think their

502
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: pass catchers could actually be improved. Your offensive line, you

503
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: lose your top two by far and Miller and Newman

504
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: who went to the NFL. Baldwin's gone, but he was bad.

505
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: You bring in some transfers. They do have a good

506
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: offensive line coach, but the offensive line was just so

507
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: bad last year.

508
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: Injured in freshman, yeah, yeah, injured.

509
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: The same thing happened to the defense. They got Like

510
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: in the second they got a lot of freshmen who

511
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 2: got killed by injuries. They got some freshmen who had

512
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: some experience, Like this is a team that just didn't

513
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: bring in They brought in a lot of guys in

514
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: the port, but a lot of lower level they're not

515
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: recruiting very well. They need to get more pressure. They

516
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: went six straight games without a sack last year, so

517
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 2: how much of a bump in Jonathan Smith, who we

518
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: both respect give them in year two? Last year was

519
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: a new quarterback, brand new offense, brand new defense, ton

520
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: of injuries. They still won five. They just got to

521
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: get a better run game and they got to get

522
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: more pressure. I'm not sure they fully addressed either. They

523
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: got to be better in the red zone them both ends.

524
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 2: So this is a tricky team to figure out. There's

525
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: no easy road games like at USC, at Nebraska, at Indiana,

526
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: at Minnesota, at Iowa. So like their ceiling is probably seven,

527
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: the swing game is probably BC in Week two at

528
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: home like that, I would assume that might end up

529
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: determining whether they good to a bowl or the win total.

530
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: They only have three Big Ten home games in Spartan Stadium,

531
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: and Michigan and Penn State are two of them. They

532
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: only get two of the bottom seven in the Big Ten.

533
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, my numbers are right on.

534
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: I'm five, seven to three, so nothing for me. There's

535
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: a lot to work on here. I don't It's just

536
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: not a very talented roster overall, who has the better

537
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: year two jump Jed Fish or Jonathan Smith Fish.

538
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I don't make this win total leaving

539
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: up at five and you know, one hundred and twenty

540
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: six and pass blocking. If you see improvement on that

541
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: child's numbers obviously will improve and then their power rating

542
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: will improve. So I think it's one of those games.

543
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I think it's one of those teams where

544
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: the Spartans can come out against Western Michigan and it

545
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 3: could be one of those power rating jumps by like

546
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: five points in the first week if I see what

547
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 3: I want to see, and then again with Boston College

548
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: next week. Maybe you and I are not so loud

549
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: about it, and the gambling market isn't is heavy on it.

550
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: Maybe we see something in the box that allows us

551
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: to get in against Boston College and we're rising the

552
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 3: prs even more. That's the ceiling and that could blow

553
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: away my win total numbers. But at the same time,

554
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: this Tolliver kid coming in from sax State, this isn't skataboo.

555
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: I mean two point eight yards after first contact, he

556
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: only created thirty three missed tackles, one hundred and eighty

557
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: two rushing attempts. That is not a high rate of juking.

558
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 3: You mentioned the sack rate pass rusher was one hundred

559
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: and twenty ninth. Again, if you get the proper number

560
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 3: of players, if you get defensive tackles that are three

561
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: hundred pounds that are creating pressure, then you wipe away

562
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: all of these numbers that they had last year because

563
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 3: it was year zero, a year negative one. There's only

564
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 3: four Big Ten home games here. I don't expect them

565
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: to be within two touchdowns in six of eight conference games.

566
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: I'm going under here, under five and a half. I

567
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 3: think it's still out there at plus money plus one fifteen,

568
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 3: I think in some places. But I'm ready to move

569
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 3: them and their projection if we see the proper things

570
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: that we need in the box score, from a line

571
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: yards perspective, from a pass walking perspective, and from creating

572
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 3: pressures on defense.

573
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're way often. I starting power writing the guy

574
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: michign sate favorite of our PC, but I'm low on

575
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: BC and I'm giving Michigan State benefit of doubt. Some

576
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: places that could be off, we'll see. They were definitely

577
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: snake bit last year in the number of ways. But

578
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: Giles has got to be better. We'll see what Smith

579
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: can do. By the way, so well, you'll start to

580
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: see us loading in some bets, continue to loading some

581
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: bets in the app. And as a reminder, if you

582
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: want to see every college will pick track from me,

583
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: Colin and Duck this season, you need the Action Network app.

584
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: We've got some huge improvements, some things that I'm really

00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 2: excited about and updates coming in the weeks ahead, which

586
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: we're excited to discuss in a few weeks. But to

587
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,320

597
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: Let's move on to UCLA. UCLA Year two de Shan Foster,

598
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: head coach.

599
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: The UCLA Bruins.

600
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys don't know too much about UCLA

601
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: but our football program.

602
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: But we're in LA. It's US in USC There is.

603
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: A new OC do you know, Sinceario comes in from Indiana.

604
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: They're DC Last year after Danton Lynn Ikaika Maloy. I

605
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: think he did a great job, I thought, but he

606
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: had a lot of talent, a lot of talent that

607
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: went to the NFL. Five drafted to the NFL from

608
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: this defense, which was so underrated. You lost your defensive tackle,

609
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: well they lost air tight end to the NFL. Then

610
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: four on the defense, your defensive tackle, your edge, and

611
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: two linebackers. So it's I think there's going to be

612
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: a drop off here, especially from a pressure perspective, and

613
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: I think this defense is going to take a step back.

614
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, they lost some really really talented players. I'm

615
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: not what they were like relying They need some depth

616
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: guys to step up, and they were lying on a

617
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: lot of these powerful cast offs that either did nothing

618
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: or were just not productive in the portal. I don't

619
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: think that was this is the right year to do that.

620
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: I just don't see a ton of talent on this roster. Niko,

621
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: I'm Malava comes in from Tennessee. I'm not a fan.

622
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: I mean, if you like Nico, then this guy had

623
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: five touchdowns in six games versus winning FBS teams last

624
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: year with the Tennessee offense. Now you have the UCLA

625
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: offense who loses its top two backs. You lose, you're

626
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of receivers, You lost a tight end of

627
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: the NFL, and then your offensive line. I know there's

628
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: a ton of injuries. They were shifting around a lot,

629
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: but look at the guys they brought in. I don't

630
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: believe in any of them, and then defensively lost a

631
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: bunch of guys in the NFL. I don't like this

632
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: team at all. I don't just didn't like a lot

633
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: of what they did. This wasn't a year to rely

634
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: on the portal if you're a team like UCLA. Last

635
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: year they had five wins. They went five and two,

636
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: five and two in one session games. Their five wins

637
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: were by twenty three points over Hawaii Rutgers, who had

638
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: a ton of injuries, Nebraska Iowa their quarterback got hurt, Fresno,

639
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: who had a ton of injuries. They did lose the

640
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: UFC in Minnesota late to be fair, but they are

641
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: pretty lucky. One session games they got to five wins.

642
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm not a Nico guy. I think his defense takes

643
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: a step back. The weapons not really a believer in

644
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: the offensive line is still going to be bad. I mean,

645
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: the only gimmes on the schedule are New Mexico at

646
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: home and maybe Maryland vicious schedule one of the ten

647
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: hardest in the country. You only get four Big Ten

648
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: home games, although one road game is at USC. I mean,

649
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: it wouldn't shock me if this team went three to

650
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: nine under For me, I mean, how I'm super low

651
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: in this team the mat I'm at like four point two,

652
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: so I'm definitely a significant amount lower than the market

653
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: who is fading the shit out of them Week one

654
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: against Utah, that.

655
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: Was the very first play that went into the action

656
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 3: app was I took Utah minus one thirty Week one

657
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: against UCLA and that number is long gone. I don't

658
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: know what's going on with i'm lava family. I mean,

659
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: there's some series Lonzo ball stuff going on here. Madden.

660
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: I'm Alva is going to be the backup quarterback at UCLA.

661
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: He was at Arkansas and was supposed to challenge Taylor

662
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: Green for the starting position, but Dad said, no, you

663
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: were joining your brother in the portal and you're coming

664
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: out to UCLA. I heard the numbers that Nico was

665
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: looking for in the portal. They were laughable, but Ucla

666
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: bit and I think it's one of the worst transfer

667
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: portal moves in all power For he had zero escapability,

668
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: a twenty six percent pressure to sack ratio. Now he

669
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: gets an offensive line that could be the worst in

670
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: the Big Ten, a hodgepodge of journeyman portal players with

671
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: limited experience. I mean, Foster's claiming this is going to

672
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: be a balanced offense with Tino sincere coming, but Tino

673
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: Cinceri is known for being with Signetti and calling a

674
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: power run game, not really so much passing the ball.

675
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: Nico can't escape pressure whatsoever. He's got, you know, cinderblocks

676
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: for feet, and so we're gonna rely on the running game,

677
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: which is running back jalen Berger. I mean, he's had

678
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 3: a decline in his yards after first contact every single

679
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 3: stop from Wisconsin. Chi can stay JV and Thomas a

680
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: Cal three point one yards after first contact, a low

681
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: rate of creating miss tackles. I don't see it in

682
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: this offense whatsoever. You're gonna be ground based with Tino

683
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: Sincere at least have some running backs that could do that,

684
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: and you don't, So you're gonna end up in passing

685
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 3: downs and then you're gonna see Nico's feet, and then

686
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: I just don't see a lot coming out of this offense. Defense.

687
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: You've already mentioned they lost their top eleven tacklers. The

688
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 3: secondary is all from the portal from Morgan State, Miami

689
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: ucf ol miss. No improvement expected from the front seven

690
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: after ranking one hundred and fourteenth in pass rush. I mean,

691
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: I would think Melow, the defensive coordinator. He's in his

692
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 3: second year here. They finished one hundred and twenty third

693
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: in defensive finishing drives, arguably a better defense last year

694
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: than they have now. There's not much room to go

695
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: down in defensive finishing drives, but we're headed there, and

696
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: I think Aucla is an unmitigated disaster. I think being

697
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: the only school, let me just think about this, the

698
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: only school that opened up your wallet for Nico. Nico

699
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: was shopped everywhere everywhere. I heard the numbers, I heard

700
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 3: the teams, and you say they bit on the numbers

701
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 3: that they wanted, and then Madden got pulled out of

702
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: Arkansas because Dad was like, we're all going to LA

703
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: to live to La life. Utah is gonna pound the

704
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: shit out of them. You're gonna put Nico against Morgan

705
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: Scalley's four two five in Week one.

706
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: Good luck, yeah under for me on UCLA.

707
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Northwestern, the Northwestern Wildcats.

708
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: Northwestern you can go over three and a half superjuice

709
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 2: or over four even money is out there, eighty to

710
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: one to make the playoffs, five hundred to one to

711
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: win the Big Ten. It's an interesting team. They run

712
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 2: in Preston Stone, former SMU quarterback.

713
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: I love him.

714
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: I love Preston Stone.

715
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: I like it.

716
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: I think he's finally healthy. They get their running backs,

717
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: pack lose both their top receivers. One of the NFL

718
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 2: big question market receiver sone is a great deep ball.

719
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: Does he other receivers to get the ball. That is

720
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: a major question their receivers. It's like they brought them

721
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: to Stanford South Dakota State transfer. The offensive line has

722
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: some questions. They have a really good tackle back. They

723
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 2: do get their center back from injury. The backup was horrible.

724
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: They're right, they're one of their tackles has gone who

725
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: was horrible. I like a couple of the transfers they

726
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: brought in. Their offensive line has some potential, but they

727
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: got to figure it out. Defensively. I like the defensive line.

728
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: I like the room there linebacker. You have some guys

729
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: back and added some guys in the portal who I liked.

730
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: The secondary need some young guys to step up. Although

731
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: I like Davis that Jacksonville State corner transfers started his

732
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 2: career at Clemson, but you you lost a lot. You

733
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: lost the safety to Baylor, a corner to Oregon, and

734
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: then Coco Zima, who wasn't great, but he was there

735
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: for six years. I can't believe. It just feels weird

736
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: that he's not going to be in the back end

737
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: of that defense. I think the deed's going to be

738
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: fairly salty. It's ben but don't break to the extreme.

739
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: But there's questions wide receiver in particular, one of the

740
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: tackle spots. And then they're gonna have young, youngish dbs

741
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: or you know, guys coming up a level. Last year

742
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: they only beat Maryland and pur doing big ten play.

743
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: This year. They have a tough Big Ten slate. They

744
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: do have five Big Ten home games, but three are

745
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 2: on the Lake and two are at Wrigley. The good

746
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: thing is there's not a lot of traveling overall, like

747
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: they go to USC but other than that, they kind

748
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: of are in a box. You know, after week one

749
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: at two lane, but that's week one, so there's not

750
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 2: a ton of traveling here. Their first five are pretty manageable.

751
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 2: You know, you're at two lane. They're gonna be dogs,

752
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: but they could win that game Western Illinois at home,

753
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: Ucla at home. We just talked about them Ulm at home,

754
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: so you know, then they go to pen State, which

755
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna lose. There's a chance that they could start

756
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: three and three. If everything goes right, they steal that

757
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: game at two lane.

758
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: That number is short and it's moving towards Northwestern Boor

759
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 3: and too.

760
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like them week one of them. I've been

761
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: waiting for pods to bet my week zero in week

762
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 2: one on the app.

763
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 3: And I think that one's moving.

764
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm mad I didn't get seven, So I mean

765
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: I I project four point four, so they're implied as

766
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: like close to four, So I would lean over here

767
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: with Northwestern, I think that they should. They're gonna get

768
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: Western Illinois. I think they're gonna get Ucla. I think

769
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna get Ulm at home. That's three wins. I

770
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: think they're good for one, and then you're gonna be

771
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: a Purdue at home as well. Like there's your four wins.

772
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: In my opinion, there's some opportunities here. This is at

773
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: least a four win team.

774
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you gotta find so the schedule. I couldn't

775
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 3: really find four wins. And that's the problem.

776
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:57,959
Speaker 2: Western Illinois, Ucla at Ulm, and Purdue not four wins.

777
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I make Ucla like higher, like

778
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: a touch.

779
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: I'd like a touchdown favor in Northwestern.

780
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I believe in it. Preston Stone has

781
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: got to be the version of himself two years ago

782
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: when he had thirty three big time throws in thirteen

783
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 3: turnover worthy plays. Right, he's got to be the twenty

784
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: twenty three version.

785
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Stone Age.

786
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 3: This South Dakota State infusion, which we should might as

787
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 3: well call them the South Dakota State East Wildcats offensive

788
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: line receivers Griffin Wilde, I mean they lined up he

789
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: lines up in the slot, he was ending the white out.

790
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 3: He was a multi purpose tool, and he had three

791
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 3: point two yards per out run. So there is the

792
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 3: ability here for Northwestern to have a little bit of flash.

793
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: The top four running backs return. I mean, there's nothing

794
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 3: special about Campporter Joseph Hemman's numbers, but there's stability there.

795
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 3: You return your middle linebacker eighty five tackles, led the team,

796
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 3: two sacks and a PBu. The next level potential in

797
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: Antosaka from what we're hearing at edge creating twenty seven

798
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: pressures last year, does the South Dakota State system from

799
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: an offensive perspective finally translate to success, because defensively, David

800
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 3: Brown had that going Day one. I'm having a harder

801
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 3: time getting to it. I'm not saying that Northwestern isn'tlive

802
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 3: against UCLA. I definitely would not take Ucla.

803
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there'll be like six six seven versus for do

804
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: with them.

805
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: If I was to adjust my power rating on Northwestern

806
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: and bump them and make it even with what the

807
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: market is right now, I'd be over four. And I

808
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: don't have them much far off from their pr that

809
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: they ended with last year. So that's why the number

810
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 3: of the market confuses me.

811
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to Maryland.

812
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: The Maryland Terrapinson. That's what Maryland does.

813
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: Talk about quarterback uncertainty. Apparently it's a three way competition.

814
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: You have two Martins, a UCLA transfer, the other Martin

815
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: he apparently won the spring. He was considered to be

816
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: like the third but he was like the MVP of Spring.

817
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: And then you have Washington, who's I think going to

818
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: be the starter, but he's dealing with like injuries now

819
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 2: the stud freshman. He was number five in the twenty

820
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: twenty five class, but he's apparently dealing with some injuries.

821
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: Is he going to be ready by week one? I

822
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 2: don't know. He said he's not gonna need a starter

823
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 2: until the Sunday before their first game against FAU. I

824
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: don't Then there's there's this is a team outside the

825
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: top on her in returning production. They only have a

826
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: handful of returning starters. He lost Hemby at running back.

827
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: They lost two wide receivers of the NFL. But it's Maryland.

828
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: You're always going to have good pass catchers. Like they

829
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 2: brought in Feruke and Webb Smith's back. They brought in

830
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 2: a tight end I like and fleming. Their offensive line

831
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: is just going to be a disaster. Again. Like Maryland

832
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: is good pass catchers, they don't. They can't get an

833
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: offensive line. Like they're all bad. Like I know that

834
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: there's guys back and some guys back from injury, but

835
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 2: you might have a tackle from previously at Shorter and

836
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: then they added a tackle from Central Connecticut State, Like

837
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 2: your tackles in the Big Ten are gonna be from

838
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: Central Connicid State and Shorter. Yeah, I mean, that's just

839
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: not gonna get done in their offensive line. That year

840
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: was so bad. I don't see it getting much better. Defensively,

841
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: you lost five to the NFL. You lost a linebacker,

842
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: you lost two defensive linemen, and you lost a pair

843
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 2: of safeties. They bring in a couple of transfer cornerbacks

844
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 2: that you're gonna need to step up. Joiner from Arc State,

845
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: who I think is good, but this is a step

846
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: up in class, Glasgar from Wake Forest met So you're

847
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: not their nine best players on defense last year, in

848
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: my opinion, one is back. That's it. Husky their safety.

849
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: You lost five to the NFL. Two went to the portal.

850
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: One graduate I mean late in the portal that they

851
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: lost Johnson, their defensive linemen to Texas, and they lost

852
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: a couple other guys late Wyatt to Indiana. They were

853
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: counting on at defensive end, Brown at defensive end, excuse me,

854
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: Wheatland at that heat transferred, So they got gutted. They're

855
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: still recruiting in a decent high level, but.

856
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: Waxley's always had that. Yeah, it's they can't keep them

857
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: after two years though.

858
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all bolting. There's a ton of questions on

859
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: this team, a lot of excitement with the quarterback, but

860
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: with Malik Washington the top number five in the twenty

861
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 2: twenty five class. Schedule wise, you should start three and Oho,

862
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: fau n IU and towsend at home, and that's good

863
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: for a brand new team and a true freshman quarterback potentially.

864
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: And then you're at was Wisconsin, you host Washington, your

865
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: host Nebraska, you're at UCLA. There's some winnable games on

866
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: this roster. They avoid Oregon, they have void Ohio State,

867
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 2: they have void Penn State, and they host Michigan. They

868
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: do a five big ten road games with one of

869
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: them's at Ford Field. New coordinators here. There was a

870
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: lot of nil drama last year. This team quit and

871
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: did not like each other. Right, this is this team

872
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: is very Some of these teams that just massive turnover

873
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 2: and a true freshman quarterback, they're hard for me to

874
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: power rate. But I project win total over four and

875
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: a half plus money plus one oh five you want

876
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: to go over is the best you can find out there.

877
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: So you're looking at implied win total one don't like

878
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: four point two, five, four point three. I project like

879
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: four point one, So nothing for me on Maryland. How

880
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 2: about you?

881
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 3: I'm at three point nine, so I go under. I mean,

882
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 3: if you're having a culture issue and people don't like

883
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: each other, you're bringing an NFL quarterback coach Pep Hamilton

884
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 3: so that he can develop Justin Martin or freshman League Washington,

885
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 3: So maybe that helps culture a little bit.

886
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 2: The numbers, same Maryland team, you got an exciting quarterback,

887
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: very good webte They put wide receivers in the NFL

888
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: like it's every year. It seems like they have really

889
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: talented wide receivers, really talented wide receivers, and then your

890
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: offensive line is terrible yep, and the defense has talent,

891
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: but like just will not put it all together.

892
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 3: And if it's the same team, they finish one hundred

893
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 3: and twenty seven than have a allowed on offense, and

894
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 3: they finished one hundred and twenty ninth in quality drives.

895
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 3: You flip over to the defensive side. Do you know

896
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 3: how hard it is to rank outside the top? One

897
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 3: thirty and fbs they ranked outside the top. They ragged

898
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 3: dead last and coverage defending explosives, one hundred and thirty

899
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: first in quality drives and one hundred and thirty fourth

900
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: and finishing drives. What are we doing here? Just find

901
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: me a win after non conference stuck?

902
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 2: But they could catch someone at home, just in like

903
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: a tricky travel spot that like Washington at home that's

904
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 2: after Maryland's after a bye, the worst, someone that just

905
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: no shows in a bad spot. And you never know

906
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 2: with injuries and other teams. But I think this is

907
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: a I think that this is set right. I mean

908
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: I project right around four. I think this is a

909
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 2: four win team.

910
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: But you and I are not going to know how

911
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 3: the locker room if they like each other and want

912
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 3: to play for each other November either, We're not No

913
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 3: one can answer that question.

914
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: All right, Let's finish up with Purdue.

915
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: The Purdue boiler Makers.

916
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: Purdue, Purdue It's like losing the Northwestern the Rutgers not

917
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 2: even a real school. What the hell's of Purdue?

918
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: What the hell's of Rutgers?

919
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 2: Purdue an absolute disaster last year you want to talk about, Like,

920
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: so this is in this new era. There are certain

921
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 2: teams that I will move from start to the beginning

922
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: to the end of the year more than I've ever

923
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: done it ever. Can move a team seventeen to twenty

924
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: points from their initial power rating. I mean, look at

925
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: Florida State last year. These teams that are completely brand new,

926
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: they're very difficult. Like if you're a very good player, modeler,

927
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: you'll be That's not my strength. Maybe you're much better

928
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 2: than this at me. I have no idea what to

929
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: do with this Purdue team. It is brand new. They

930
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: have one returning starter. By the way, tell me this

931
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 2: team who was so bad last year. Their offense lost

932
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 2: three to the NFL. How three guys from the offensive

933
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: line are on NFL rosters, five to the Power four.

934
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 2: Their d lost nine starters that all went to Power

935
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: four teams. I think that speaks to the portal this year.

936
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: Not all these Purdue guys were good guys. They couldn't

937
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: win a game last year, and now all these teams

938
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 2: are relying on the Purdue transfers. They could start eleven

939
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 2: transfers on day. There's a world. I don't know if

940
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: they will, but they could start eleven trances in the day,

941
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: maybe seven or eight. On offense. It's all brand new

942
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 2: except for the Brown is back at quarterback who played

943
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: some last year.

944
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 3: He wasn't.

945
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: The portal came back, and the Makabi is probably their

946
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: best most reliable player at running back. He's back. The

947
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 2: rest is all new. I mean, they brought in twelve

948
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: ride receivers. They lost their their stud tight end to

949
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Their offensive line, like I said, they lost

950
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 2: three to the NFL, one to Louisville, one to USC.

951
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't know how that happened. You want to know

952
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 2: how little I know about this team and where I

953
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: think they should be power ated. Their center is a

954
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: Canadian from He went to Manitoba College or something. How

955
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: do I rate him? I gonna go watch some Canadian tape,

956
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 2: some Manitoba tape. This team is starting all over, brand

957
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: new coach, brand new coordinators, bringing an oc Henson from USC,

958
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: but he didn't call plays there. Air raid background, new

959
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 2: DC comes from UNLV. And one thing that we know

960
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: with Barry Otum, who takes over as head coach, good

961
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: special teams might have good specialties. He's a takeaway artist.

962
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 2: This defense is usually specially specialized in getting takeaways. They

963
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 2: only had five last year a perdue and perdue was

964
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: oh in three and one session games. They lost two

965
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: games in overtime. They were minus fourteen in turnovers. But

966
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 2: does that even matter for progression if everyone is brand new?

967
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 2: But ting like seventy five new players on this team,

968
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. The schedule also is brutal, top fifteen

969
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: hardest schedules in the country. They should start out two

970
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 2: and oh, so their win total is over three minus

971
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 2: one thirty you can find out there. So how do

972
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: they get the four wins? Let's see, they could just

973
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: be way better than anyone anticipates at That's one thing.

974
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: They should be ball State and SIU at home to

975
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 2: start the year. Yes, you're two and zero, A lot

976
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 2: of optimism in West Lafe and then it's just USC

977
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame. I will say there's some good spots,

978
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: so like Illinois, can they catch someone they should have

979
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 2: been Illinois last year? Or they could have. There's some

980
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: good spots on this schedule, Like so Illinois goes to Purdue,

981
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 2: who's off of a bye in between USC and Ohio State.

982
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 3: Yep.

983
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: Also Minnesota, can they catch Minnesota sleeping if their quarterback play?

984
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 2: Minnesota host Purdue the week after playing at Ohio State

985
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: and before Nebraska. And then how about Rutgers. Can they

986
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: catch Rutgers sleeping? Rutgers goes to Purdue after playing hosting

987
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 2: Oregon and before going to Illinois, So can they catch

988
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 2: one of these teams sleeping? But then they're at at Michigan,

989
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State, at Washington, Indiana at home in the year,

990
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 2: it's hard to see them getting to four wins. But

991
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 2: maybe they can catch one of these teams in a

992
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 2: good spot. But I also just have no confidence in

993
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: my power rating. I could easily be a touchdown to

994
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: ten points off to start the year. My numbers now,

995
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: which I don't have a ton of confidence in, I

996
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 2: project three on the dot.

997
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: So nothing for me with Purdue, Yeah, three point two

998
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 3: for me. I think if there's an angle to play Perdue,

999
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 3: the explosives against the defense should be limited. And the

1000
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 3: reason I say that is because Odom will play that three, three,

1001
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 3: five and sell out to stop EPA.

1002
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 2: That I mean, bring in some guys in the second

1003
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: that I have some experience like Grimes.

1004
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the entire roster is a collection of OTEM stops.

1005
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 3: It's like playing the greatest hits of OTEM. Like there's

1006
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 3: Arkansas players, there's U and LV players, Like there's some

1007
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 3: experience from a lot of guys that weren't starters. You

1008
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 3: look at the quarterback room, like if Ryan Brown doesn't

1009
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: win it, you have Malachi Singleton. Malachi Singleton filled in

1010
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 3: for Taylor Green at Arkansas. Not a great passer, but

1011
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 3: can tuck the ball and and as was very effective

1012
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: in that aspect. So you know, I don't know what

1013
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 3: the identity is going to be. That's the ultimate question,

1014
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: and it could change from week to week. But I

1015
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 3: do think that you want to look under on Purdue

1016
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 3: totals early because I know Barry Odom's going to do

1017
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 3: everything that he can to sell out to stop explosive plays.

1018
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 3: It is one of his main stays when he has

1019
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: showed up at UNLV in Arkansas with disaster defenses. We

1020
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 3: are going to stop EPA, period, And you know you

1021
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: mentioned special teams that'll get a boost. So I do

1022
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 3: like unders say, you know, I haven't looked at my

1023
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 3: total for ball State Perdue. It's at fifteen and a half.

1024
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 3: I'll probably play it for a self under next week

1025
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 3: in Southern Illinois, probably play an under. That's the play

1026
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: on them. But I make it three point two and

1027
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 3: so I can't get into over two and a half

1028
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: minus one eighty.

1029
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I had, I guess they finished three and nine.

1030
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: All right, Before we get close this up and then

1031
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 2: get ready to do the SEC in a couple hours,

1032
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 2: let's summarize it Big ten. Look with all the quarterback

1033
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: on certainty, this is the conference that I've I have

1034
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: the biggest show the biggest discrepancies to market in my

1035
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 2: wind totals by far as far as volume, like overs

1036
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 2: that I may play or Penn State, USC Indiana, Washington, Wisconsin, YEP,

1037
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: maybe Northwestern unders. I show guy in Iowa of not

1038
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 2: playing it. I will be playing Minnesota and UCLA unders.

1039
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 3: Oh.

1040
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 2: I think Penn State wins the conference. My prediction is

1041
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 2: the Big Ten, which is a lot deeper this year.

1042
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be some more upsets. I think that there's

1043
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: only three college fwall playoff teams that come from the

1044
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 2: Big Ten. That's my prediction. I think it's Penn State.

1045
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State will get there, and then there's

1046
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a surprise team and it's not Oregon.

1047
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 3: Could be Indiana. I like Indiana overs. I like Washington over.

1048
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 3: I like Indiana over. I think the two long shots

1049
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 3: that I'm taking, I like Michigan and USC to make

1050
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: the Big Ten Championship game. Michigan's plus three eighty in

1051
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 3: the market, plus seven to fifty if you want to

1052
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 3: go budge on a twenty five to one on USC.

1053
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 3: Those two teams play each other, and I think that

1054
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: ticket if you want to do a half unit on both,

1055
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 3: I think that ticket serves as your long shot and

1056
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 3: a conference that I think a long shot with a

1057
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 3: good schedule can make some numbers. Michigan has the perfect schedule.

1058
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 3: USC has a rising defense by far. Penn State. I

1059
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 3: think there's only one way to play them because their

1060
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 3: numbers are so juiced on win totals and Big Ten futures.

1061
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 3: I think you have to play them national championship. If

1062
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 3: you can find an eight to one. There's a couple

1063
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 3: of them out there, even at seven to one that

1064
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 3: is a ticket that you make and you don't even

1065
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 3: look at it till the semi finals because if they

1066
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 3: finish anywhere below the semi finals are the college football

1067
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 3: playoff complete disaster of a year. We're going to play

1068
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: Orgon on the under. I do not like the defensive interior.

1069
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be run on all season long.

1070
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 3: I do like the over on Ruckers five and a half.

1071
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 3: That is a very well coached team. Caliak mannus year

1072
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 3: two in Soroka's offense, easy non conference schedule, and don't

1073
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: forget Rutgers won four games outright as an underdog last year.

1074
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 3: I like it for that matter. So you know, a
