Then we're 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 2: going to give you the rest of the week off. 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: But when we come back from the July fourth holiday, 15 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: we flip the switches. We go to three a week. 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: We're going to start talking through the group of six conferences. 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: All this this is the time of year that I 18 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: like to call the Thai Romance season. Here we go, 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Tie loves with his whole heart. Tie decides whether or 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: not Ty is like what was the show man? I remember? Okay, 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: So it was Lorenzo Lamas who was like a former 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: model actor. Right, he had the laser pointer where it 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: was called I almost called, like are you hot or not? 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: Or that was the website that there was? You can 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: look this up as I'm speaking almost positive Lorenzo Lamas. 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: I apologize if it was not Lorenzo Lamas with a 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: laser pointer, look up the name of the show, Ty. 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: We want to be accurate here. But he would decide 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: whether or not somebody was attractive enough, and while evaluating 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: to them, Let's be clear, not a picture. I don't 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: believe in person would circle problematic areas on their body, 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: like you can't be a nine because this is what 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: your knees look like. I believe it. Are you hot? 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: The search for America's Sexiest People? 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: And was it Lorenzo Lamas? It was lorenzol Did he 36 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: have a laser pointer? He did have a laser pointer yet, 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: oh my god. 38 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: The show was. 39 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,559 Speaker 2: Widely criticized for its superficial premise yeh or judging problematic 40 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: elements to evaluating somebody to their face. 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: With a laser pointer. But I guess it's better than 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: doing it with a picture. You know, it's a little 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: more honest, I guess. But this is the time of 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: year where Ty is searching for hotness in this sport 45 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just trying to, you know, play things 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: even handed. Ty I'm just trying to be as objective 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: as possible. But Tye allows himself to be intellectually aroused 48 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: by what he learns as he's studying college football. So 49 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: he's taking the proverbial laser pointer to you know, your Indiana's, 50 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: your NC States, your Stanford's, your USC's, your Oregons, and 51 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: he's deciding whether or not it gets his blood pumping. 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: I just sent you a completely ridiculous screen grab from 53 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: this show. 54 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: Yes, oh, and yeah, he's wearing the yellow tinted glasses, 55 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: which I don't know if that helped him see where 56 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: his laser was ending up and look, great head of hair, 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: attractive guy. But it was what we it was, my 58 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: guess is nineteen ninety eight, two thousand and three. I 59 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: don't know when. It was a different time, ty. 60 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: It was definitely a different ty It was two thousand 61 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: and three, by the way, so was. 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: Two thousand and three Rubenstein. So this is all a 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: preamble in a way of saying, uh, I guess we're 64 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: building our whole preview season out of a Lorenzo Lamis theme. 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Now you can do that if we won. I mean, 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: it's an option. It is an option. 67 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: We still have not necessarily put together our format. So 68 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: there is an opening here for Lamis. Should we be 69 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: ever so inclined? 70 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we can talk about our laser point, I mean, 71 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: can we can come up with a laser pointer sound? 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: Even though I believe laser pointers were silent. 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: It was dubbed the Lorenzo Lamis flawfinder. Oh my god, 74 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: that's good branding. It's problematic thinking. It's good branding. 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: We can use that. 76 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: We can use the Dan Rubinstein and the Ty hilden 77 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: Brand flawfinder. 78 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the flawfinder, the laser pointer, audio laser pointer. 79 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's a reference that everybody's gonna understand immediately 80 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: listening to a show in twenty twenty five, a twenty 81 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: two year old reality show that is looked back upon harshly. 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: We're going to using a college football theme out of it. 83 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: I want to use this now, I do too. I 84 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: want it came about organically. Yeah, we're ready. This is 85 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: how we put our content together. 86 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: Well, welcome back one and all, Hit follow, hit subscribe 87 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: if you enjoyed that Forballers dot com, rb Lars dot 88 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: com I'm using the sing song voice a little bit 89 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: more just for you, Dan Rubinstein.

We're working 92 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: on the games. Those are going to be coming up 93 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: here as we get a little bit closer to the season. 94 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: I wanted to do this episode though for a couple 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: of years we haven't had a chance to do it. 96 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: But finally we gave ourselves a bit of an opening 97 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 2: here where we can bring our friend Tim Murray genuinely 98 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: our friend in the desert. Of course, Tim Murray works 99 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: for v SIN, also the host of the Vson College 100 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: Football Betting podcast. We have had questions about this. I 101 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: can't even tell you how many years running, people asking 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: us bring a betting guy on, Bring somebody who understands 103 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 2: sports gambling, understands lines, understands that side of the business. 104 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: I understand. 105 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: I know there is a balance that we need to 106 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: walk when we do an episode like this. Because we 107 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: have a good chunk of our listeners who don't care 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: at all about college football betting, we also have a 109 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: great number of people who do. Most of the people 110 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: who listen are probably somewhere in the middle. But we 111 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: have always taken the tact on this show that it's 112 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: useful information. Whether you bet or not, it doesn't matter 113 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: to us. But point spreads, win totals, things of that nature. 114 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: It's useful information. It helps guide the conversation. That's why 115 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: we've brought it up on this show quite literally every 116 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: year when we have previewed teams, every year, when we 117 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: have previewed games dating back to two thousand and eight. 118 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: We just think it's an interesting part of the sport. 119 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: That would be silly to fully ignore it. Yeah, it'd 120 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: be silly to ignore it. So we've incorporated that into 121 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: the way that we cover the sport, and over the 122 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: course of many years, we've gotten a variety of questions 123 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: as to what influences point spreads, How should I go 124 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: about betting? 125 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: Is a letdown look ahead sandwich really a real thing 126 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: that we should pay attention to, or is it just 127 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: these two idiots coming up with the SoundBite to play 128 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: on the podcast. Sure, stuff like that. We're gonna frame 129 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: it up. We're gonna pose it to Tim here over 130 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: the next hour. So we're gonna do a little bit 131 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: of a gambling preview, but we're not gonna go too 132 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: deep in the weeds that it's going to put you off. 133 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: If that's not your cup of tea, that makes sense. 134 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: It does, all right, Dan joining us now he is. 135 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 2: He's our friend in the desert. I don't know, true, 136 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: I don't know how else to classify this guy. He's 137 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: our friend in the desert. Tim Murray, one of the 138 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: affable hosts on the Vson Network, was on stage with us. 139 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: I believe we did a show in in DC. 140 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: See yeah, because he's formerly Annapolis. 141 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and great memory, great memory, guys. 142 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: Tim Murray, how goes Vegas?

What are the betting markets telling you right now? 198 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 2: High level Key themes, key topics, things that maybe you expect, 199 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: others that maybe you didn't. What are the betting markets 200 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: telling you about the college football season in twenty twenty five? 201 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: You know, I would say one of the early themes 202 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: in the betting market has been the love for Clemson. 203 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: This is a team that I know, friend of your show, 204 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: Bill Conley, in his sp plus as let us know 205 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: that this is the number one team in returning production. 206 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: And I would say one of the early themes, at 207 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: least from the betting market is that you know, Clemson 208 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: is live to win the national championship. Now, I want 209 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: to put this into perspective. They're not the betting favorite 210 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 3: to win the national title. But when I look at 211 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: some of the odds that are out there, guys, they 212 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: have been one of the biggest movers. You know, They've 213 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 3: moved from as high as twenty to one earlier this 214 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 3: summer now down around twelve or fourteen to one. You 215 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: look at their odds to win the conference championship. That 216 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: was a bet that I made, I believe at plus 217 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 3: one sixty And now I understand, you know, some people 218 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: might know exactly what I'm talking about. To put that 219 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 3: into perspective, What does plus one sixty mean? Well, it 220 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: means if you put down ten dollars and you won 221 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: your bet, you win sixteen bucks and you're ten dollars back. Right, 222 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: you're not just giving that there laying juice. Meaning they 223 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 3: are the favorite, would mean if they were minus one fifteen, 224 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: you'd put down eleven dollars and fifty cents to win 225 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: ten dollars. So it's all fractionally based. If you're looking 226 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 3: at it from a future standpoint, and then you know, 227 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: you get into the long shots, right, you might see 228 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: plus ten thousand, Well what does that mean? It means 229 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: you put down one hundred bucks, you win ten thousand dollars. 230 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: So that that's kind of how it all plays out. 231 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: So back to your initial questions, I Clemson has been 232 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: one of the movers for sure when I look at 233 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 3: you know, their odds to win the ACC their odds 234 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 3: to win the National Championship, and you know, another one 235 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 3: of the kind of interesting things in my opinion heading 236 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: into this year is I think last year maybe opened 237 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: up the eyes a little bit more in that it 238 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: is more wide open than we thought. We had a 239 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 3: stretch from a betting standpoint where it felt like there 240 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: was not many much you know, air quotes value in 241 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 3: the futures market. There's no long shots. Now you can 242 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: do a long shot to make, you know, to win 243 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 3: their conference, whatever it may be. But I think Ohio 244 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: State is an eight. Notre Dame as a seven. Making 245 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: it to the National Championship Game a year ago, I 246 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 3: think has opened up the eyes that hey, maybe there 247 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: aren't super teams right now, and maybe Ohio State was 248 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: and they just got knocked off twice during the regular season. 249 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: But I think when you look at the odds board 250 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 3: right now, there is no you know, peak Alabama or 251 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: peak Georgia, if that makes sense. You know, Ohio State's 252 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: your betting favorite, but they're still at five to one. 253 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: You know. I think back to I think it was 254 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty season when Alabama was just a juggernaut 255 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: and they won the national championship and they were five 256 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: to one pre season. I was like, that's a steal. 257 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 3: Right Now, Ohio State and Texas are both your co favorites. 258 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: But what's interesting, as you guys know and as your 259 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: listeners know, they play each other in Week one, so 260 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: one of their odds is going to shift in Week 261 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: one both one down and one up, right, and then 262 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 3: you know, I think two What is also interesting, and 263 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 3: I'm sure you guys have discussed I've discussed it at 264 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: nauseum on my podcast is look you look at Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Bama, 265 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: Notre Dame, if you want to go fur little further down, 266 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: Michigan Ole miss a lot of uncertainty of the quarterback position, right, 267 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: So I think that's from that's kind of interesting to 268 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: me from a gambling standpoint, is you know, I think 269 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: this year feels wide open, and the odds kind of 270 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: indicate that it is has the potential to be pretty 271 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 3: wide open this year. 272 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: Has there been anything different about this offseason, either because 273 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: of portal stuff or because you're two of a twelve 274 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: team playoff? You mentioned the wide open nature of last 275 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: season and the sort of novel like people didn't know 276 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: what to expect out of how teams were going to 277 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: look heading into and during a twelve team playoff. This 278 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: is the first post twelve team playoff off season. Have 279 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: you noticed anything different about this off season? You mentioned 280 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: obviously Clemson as a big favorite on the conference and 281 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: national level, but has the rhythm of the off season 282 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: been at all different with regard to I guess futures 283 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: in the way people are looking at the season. 284 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just talking to folks in my world, 285 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 3: I do feel like, I don't want to say hesitancy. 286 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: And look, there's some sharp guys that I trust that 287 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: are firing away right away, but I do feel like 288 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 3: they've kind of wanted to let the dust settle a 289 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: little bit. And you know it's interesting too, is I've 290 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: gotten to know people on the other side of the counter, 291 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: right the people who are putting these up, and they've 292 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: gotten better at it, you know. And I'll give you 293 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: an example. And look, it might have just been a 294 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: one off, and who knows, but Indiana was as high 295 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 3: as two hundred to one to just make the play 296 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: off last year. And now I think when you look 297 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 3: at the odds board guys for to make the playoff odds, 298 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: there aren't a ton of teams in that realm. Now, look, 299 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: if you want to bet Stanford or Purdue at two 300 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: hundred to one to make the playoff, godspeed, you know. 301 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: I mean, but you think about an Indiana team whose 302 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 3: win total was five and a half a year ago, 303 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: and you know, now we look back on it, We're like, Wow, 304 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: that was a great bet. Nobody really believed it. But 305 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: I'll say this, a lot of people anticipated them to 306 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: have a pretty good season when you looked at the schedule, 307 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 3: when you looked at the track record of signetti, the 308 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: pieces they were bringing in. But just for a comparison's sake, 309 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 3: you know, Indiana, I had one listener send me a 310 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: ticket slip of him betting him a two hundred to one. 311 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: You know, I had someone from DraftKings sportsbook on my 312 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: podcast tell me that it was one hundred to one. 313 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: You know, these are the teams that are one hundred 314 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: to one to make the playoff, Jacksonville State, Wyoming, Buffalo, Bowling, 315 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: Green Troy. Like, it's the kind of the long shots 316 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 3: out of the G five. So I do wonder if 317 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: the if the you know, the odds makers are being 318 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: a little bit more cautious on those long shots to 319 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: make the playoffs, because now that we've seen how it 320 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: played out, guys you can see in Indiana make the 321 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: college football playoff as that long shot. So you know, 322 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: when you look at the odds board, at least at 323 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 3: DraftKings right now, and I think that's the only book 324 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: that has to make the playoff odds out there, You're 325 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: looking at very few Power for teams that have one 326 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: hundred to one or longer odds, and the teams that 327 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: are all kind of in that ballpark. As I mentioned Stanford, 328 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: who's believed to be, you know, maybe a three win 329 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 3: football team perdue with Barry Odom coming in that was 330 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 3: a terrible P four team a year ago. Wake Forest 331 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: they've got a new you know, sheriff in town. So 332 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: there's not a lot of P four teams in that 333 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 3: one hundred to one or longer odds. And I think 334 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: that's an adjustment to what we saw last year after 335 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: Indiana made their magical run to the playoff. 336 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: Well you sort of speak of the uncertainty of not 337 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: knowing what Signetti and Indiana are going to do. It's 338 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: it's obviously much more difficult given how much rosters change coaches, 339 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: it seems like they're changing a little bit less as 340 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: the sport sort of morphs into a newer version of itself. 341 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe you know, this is the year, you know, 342 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: seventeen Power Conference coaches are going to get fired. Who knows, 343 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: But have you noticed any interesting trends in terms of 344 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: either how sharpspat or what the conversation is around in 345 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: terms of how people who wager on college football approach 346 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: the timing of how they bet. Are they waiting a 347 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: certain number of weeks to like figure out what teams 348 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: are or aren't? Like what does the new world of 349 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: college football mean for people trying to evaluate who is 350 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: and isn't good? 351 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a great question. I think 352 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: they're all kind of, you know, adjusting on the fly 353 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 3: as we all Do you know, what value should we 354 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: put on a coordinator change? You know, when you think 355 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 3: to Ohio State, for example, they're five to one to 356 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 3: win the national championship. They're loaded from a roster standpoint, 357 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: but they've got a quarterback who's never taken really a 358 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 3: meaningful snap and Julian saying, or it's going to be 359 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: Lincoln kay Holts, who you know. Bobby Carpenter, former Ohio 360 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: State linebacker, was on my pod and he said, look, 361 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: this kid's really talented, and you know, maybe it's not 362 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 3: as lockdown as you think. And the fact that you know, 363 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 3: Ohio State a year ago had arguably the best coordinator 364 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: tandem in college football with Chip Kelly and Jim Knowles, 365 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 3: and they're both gone. So it's like, you know, how 366 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: much do you put into that? But then also how 367 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: much you just put into the stock that Ohio State 368 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 3: has been recruiting at an elite level and they arguably 369 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 3: have the two most talented players in college football, and 370 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 3: Caleb Downs and Jeremiah Smith. It's an interesting, you know, 371 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 3: dynamic when you when you think of it from that standpoint. 372 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think you know, as you mentioned Dan, 373 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: you know, sharp guys, where are they looking to bet? 374 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. You know. I I am 375 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 3: a Notre Dame fan. I think all of you guys 376 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 3: know that, but I don't tend to bet on Notre 377 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 3: Dame all that often. But there was one shop out 378 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 3: there that had CJ. Carr at seventy five to one 379 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 3: to win the Heisman Trophy. And if you followed just 380 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: kind of closely to that team, you felt like, he's 381 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: probably going to be the starting quarterback for Notre Dame. 382 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 3: And it's not lockdown yet. Kenny Minshee could ultimately take 383 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 3: the job. But I bet it at seventy five to 384 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 3: one because I was under the assumption that Steve ANGELI 385 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: was probably going to transfer and he ultimately did, so 386 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 3: I think there's also you know, trying to read the 387 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 3: tea leaves and kind of jump the gun a little 388 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: bit on all right, where are we going to see this? 389 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 3: I'll say this real quickly though, I think it happens 390 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 3: more so in college basketball, where the portal movements one 391 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 3: player makes such a drastic difference in college basketball and 392 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: can shift the odds. So I do know some sharp 393 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: guys from the college basketball front that are trying to 394 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 3: kind of predict where certain players might ultimately go in 395 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 3: the transfer portal and try to get ahead of that 396 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: because you're going to see significant line movement, you know. 397 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 3: For example, I know I'm kind of going all over 398 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 3: the place, but yeah, when you see Kevin Durant get 399 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: traded in the NBA, I mean that massively shifted the 400 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 3: betting market. You know, Houston right now is the second 401 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 3: favorite to win the NBA Championship now that Kevin Durant's 402 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: on their roster. A little bit lower down, Desmond Baine, 403 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 3: he gets traded from Memphis to Orlando. And while the 404 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: casual fan of this podcast probably doesn't even know who 405 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 3: Desmond Baine is, but those odds were cut in half 406 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 3: according to one odds maker. I think from like forty 407 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: to one down to twenty to one. It just doesn't 408 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: really happen that way in football, right. I mean, yes, 409 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 3: quarterbacks are vitally important, and a team gets, you know, 410 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 3: a particular player in the portal, but you're not going 411 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 3: to see enormous shifts based off of one player. And 412 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: I think that's what's interesting too, is you know, now 413 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 3: that we're here in this portal era, you know, there 414 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 3: were a lot of folks early on, right that were 415 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: going fading Colorado in the early coach prime years with 416 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 3: the assumption of you know, this isn't going to work. 417 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: And look, they've gone over their win total both years 418 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 3: out of Colorado. So you know, I think everybody's kind 419 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 3: of trying to learn on the fly and what it 420 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 3: ultimately means. And I think right now, you know famous 421 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: last words, I think there's a little bit more understanding 422 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: of how it works. And then you look at a 423 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 3: team like I mentioned Clemson. They did dip their toe 424 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 3: into the portal a little bit, right, But what is 425 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: the biggest thing that is working in Clemson's favor. It's 426 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 3: they went out they added a big time decordinator in 427 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 3: Tom Allen, and they're number one in the country in 428 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 3: returning production. They've got a quarterback in Kid Klubnick that 429 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 3: is believed to be the best returning quarterback in college football. 430 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: How much do you believe in historical data, because again 431 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: this is we're looking at futures, right, so we could 432 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: pull up that. Let's just take down and Clemson as 433 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: the example that that Dabo Sweeney is, you know, twelve 434 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: and four hitting the over for Clemson's wind total during 435 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: his career. How much of historical data do you actually 436 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: care about? Do you have a threshold that like and 437 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about wagering yourself. I'm just saying, 438 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: like that you care to talk about because you think 439 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: it's important for your audience. And how much do you 440 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: just go year by year? This is what their schedule is, 441 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: this is what their roster is, this is what the 442 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: new coordinator is. Do you care about historical data? Or 443 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: if you know somebody is you know, Kirk Farrens has 444 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: been there for so long that you're like, man, that 445 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: sample size is crazy. He's twenty three and three not 446 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: hitting you know the wind total? Or I guess not 447 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: hitting that would be missing the wind total? What, however 448 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: you want to phrase it? Do you care or is 449 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: there some value? Little value, a ton of value? Where 450 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: do you come down? 451 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 3: Well, I actually I think there there is some value. 452 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: Now they're also weird trends, right, Oh, you know on 453 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: every October twenty seventh, you know, Alabama covers the point spread. 454 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 3: That is ridiculous. It's it's kind of fun fodder for 455 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 3: social media. You know, you think about this random ass 456 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 3: thing with you know the Tyrese Haliburt and Torn Achilles. 457 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: Well you know that Jason Tatum, Damian Lillard and tyre'se Haliburton. 458 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: Oh where zero? What do I do with that? 459 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: Nothing? 460 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: But I'll say this, Dan is you know, for example, 461 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 3: I think you know, looking at Marcus Freeman real quickly. 462 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 3: Now it's a little bit different because they're going to 463 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: be a favorite in every single game this year. But 464 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 3: if you look at so far through his first four 465 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 3: years at Notre Dame, I don't have the exact numbers 466 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: in front of me, but he is fantastic as an 467 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: underdog against the spread. He's fantastic in close points spreads. 468 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: But as we all know, and I'm sure, Dan reminds 469 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: tie regularly. They did lose to Northern Illinois, they did 470 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 3: lose to Marshall, they lost to a terrible Stanford team 471 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 3: in year number one. And you look at some of 472 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: the games that have been a little bit too close 473 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: for comfort early on in his career. Now there's the 474 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 3: caveat he was a young head coach. Is he learning 475 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 3: on the fly? Is he going to start to take 476 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: care of business more regularly? You started to see that 477 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 3: at the end of last season where they were covering 478 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 3: at a very strong clip. So yeah, I do look 479 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 3: at some historical data. I'll give you another interesting one. 480 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 3: Diego Pavia. If you look at him as the starting 481 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: quarterback of Vanderbilt, and I know he made some you know, 482 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: braggadocious comments because that's just who Diego Pavia is. But 483 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: I think in the gambling community he's kind of looked 484 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: at us like this this godlike figure. Because last year 485 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 3: at Vanderbilt he was eight and two against the spread 486 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 3: as an underdog. And then the two games guys that 487 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 3: Vanderbilt was favored in they lost to Georgia State and 488 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: they did not cover against Ball State. So this is 489 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 3: a team in Vanderbilt that clearly kind of punches up 490 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: in their weight class. Now, this is the last thing 491 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 3: I'll say about this. Oddsmakers aren't dummies, right, They're going 492 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: to adjust and they're going to realize, all right, these 493 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: particular teams maybe thrive in the this dog role and 494 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 3: you tend to have to pay the tax. So, you know, 495 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 3: as last year went on, I believe I remember correctly, 496 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 3: they did not cover. There was one game that Vanderbilt 497 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 3: did not cover, and I felt like everybody was jumping 498 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 3: on Vanderbilt and became kind of a popular underdog. So 499 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: to answer your question, Dan, I do think historical data 500 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: data can certainly play a positive, you know, especially if 501 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: you're looking at how do they fare as an underdog? 502 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 3: How do they fare as a big favorite? You know. 503 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 3: For example, I was reading through Phil Steele's magazine and 504 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: there's a pretty good situational spot, as you guys like 505 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: to say, sandwich spot. Ye. And when you look at 506 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: Iowa State, they play farmer geddon over in Ireland, they 507 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 3: don't take a bye, they come home, they're going to 508 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: play South Dakota prior to the Syhawks. So a really 509 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 3: good sandwich spot. And then what Phil Steele pointed out 510 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 3: from a historical data point is that Iowa status three 511 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: and ten against the spread against FCS opponents. So they 512 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 3: and to take those FCS foes a little bit more lightly, right, 513 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: maybe it's a you know, a glorified scrimmage, whatever it's 514 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 3: going to be. So recognizing that, you know, Iowa State 515 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 3: historically has not blown out FCS opponents. And then on 516 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: the flip side, you look at someone like Kirk Signetty, 517 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 3: guys who last year really knew the point spread and 518 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: I believe they covered every single game outside of Week 519 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: one when they were a favorite. They were, you know, 520 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 3: covering the number. And then some on a regular basis. So, 521 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: you know, recognizing coaches trends. You know, coaches will never 522 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: say it, but they know the point spread, right, and 523 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: they and sometimes there's coaches out there who want to 524 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 3: make sure they take care of business. 525 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: Wow, Look we're doing a show here, Tim Dan and 526 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 2: I tend to be emotional when we are making our picks. No, 527 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: our picks should not be taken as gospel, because clearly, 528 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: if you've listened to the show over the years, you 529 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 2: know that I've had a bit of a bad run, 530 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: let's say, over the life couple years with respect to 531 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 2: making my picks. But what do you think when you 532 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: hear us talk about things like let down, look ahead sandwiches? 533 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: Because if you go by the solid very ball, it's 534 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: a thing. It's something that matters. Body blow, Yeah, it's 535 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 2: something that matter. All of these little I don't know inventions, 536 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 2: these are things that we've come up with that our 537 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 2: audience tends to gravitate towards. You talk to actual betters, 538 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 2: which I have, they look at you like you got 539 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: two heads. So what do you think as obviously a 540 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 2: big fan of college football, but also somebody who is 541 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 2: very steeped in this world of pro professional actual gamblers 542 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: who pay their bills with this sort of thing. 543 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: Now let me preface it. I am not a pro 544 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 3: better I am. I'm like you guys. I have a job. 545 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 3: I work for a gambling network, But I am not 546 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 3: a professional better. There are people who are much smarter 547 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 3: than me when it comes to that. But I want 548 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 3: to say this, I am a big situational handicapper. I 549 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 3: think it is massive in college football, and I know 550 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: I keep bringing it up. But when you think back 551 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 3: to last year, did I think Notre Dame would lose 552 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: to Northern Illinois. Absolutely not. Did I think they would 553 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 3: cover a four touchdown spread a week removed from beating 554 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 3: Texas A and M on the road, No, I didn't. 555 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 3: I thought that was a massive letdown spot. I do 556 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: believe in situational handicapping, and look, I did a podcast 557 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 3: a week ago, guys where I spent fifteen minutes looking 558 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: at early potential situational angles, and not all of them 559 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 3: are going to come home. I'll give you an example. 560 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: How about this spot in early season. You've got Arkansas 561 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 3: on the road at Ole Miss and then two weeks 562 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 3: later they host Notre Dame. Friend of mine who works 563 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 3: at the Action Network, Colin Wilson, lives in Fayetteville, and 564 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 3: he said they're already talking about Notre Dame's trip to Arkansas. 565 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 3: In the middle of that, they have to go on 566 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 3: the road to take on Memphis. I mean, that's a 567 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: huge game from Memphis. You're getting a power four team 568 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 3: into your home stadium, and it's a It's a great spot. 569 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 3: Now once again oddsmakers realize that there's going to be 570 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 3: a tax that you have to pay. But you know, 571 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 3: there's a lot of different people who go about betting 572 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: very differently, and that's the beauty of sports gambling, right. 573 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 3: I tend to like situational handicapping, right, you know, desperation 574 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: spot all of that. Now, you can't go just want 575 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 3: all in on one particular angle. But there's a lot 576 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 3: of people out there that are numerically based. I mentioned 577 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: Bill Connley. He's got a you know, his system. His 578 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 3: spits out to his numbers and that's what he's going 579 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 3: to bet. He's going to try to find his edges 580 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: based off of numbers. But I'm going to more often 581 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 3: than not, you know, look at a situation that I 582 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 3: look to bet. And then and lastly, guys, you know 583 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 3: the reason I got into sports betting, believe it or not, 584 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: it was there was a segment in DC with a 585 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 3: radio host that I work with. His name's Kevin Sheen, 586 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 3: and he is very close with Scott Van Pelt. So 587 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 3: he and Scott Van Pelt bet very similarly. And Van 588 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 3: Pelt does his winners, you know, every Thursday night on 589 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: his show, and it's always going to be dogs. Very 590 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 3: rarely will you pick a favorite. But what led us, 591 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: what led me to this kind of unique way of betting, 592 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: was calling it a stinky line, a little fishy line, right, 593 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: and you look at it and you're like, h that 594 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to feel accurate. And then you just kind 595 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: of you kind of put your finger up to the 596 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: wind and you're like, all right, what are people saying 597 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 3: about this game? And everybody seems to be on one side, 598 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: and that's the old contrarian betting, right, you go the 599 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 3: opposite way, you know. So look, contrarian betting, situational betting, 600 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: betting based off your numbers. If there was something that 601 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 3: made us hit at one hundred percent, we'd all be 602 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 3: doing it and we'd all be living on islands out there. 603 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: So you know that however you want to do it. 604 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 3: But you know, I've certainly texted Tie a time or 605 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: two and be like, TYE wouldn't go there. We wouldn't 606 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 3: go there. That's a very short, suspicious line. 607 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: And sometimes you like leaning into the stink or avoiding 608 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: the stink. 609 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 3: Embracing the stink is something that I like to say. 610 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 3: You know, if if the line seems wrong, you steer 611 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 3: into it, you grab that stinky line. So look, there's 612 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 3: so many different theories of how people want to bet, 613 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: but those are two of the ways that I do 614 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 3: bet the stinky line and also kind of the contrarian 615 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 3: sandwich spot. Maybe I stole it from you guys, but 616 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 3: my producer last Saturday or last year, excuse me, on 617 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: my Saturday Tailgate show created a segment we called it 618 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: the Murray Delicatessen, and we talked about sandwich spots. So 619 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 3: you know a lot of it. There's there's there's angles 620 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 3: always out there to to take a look at, you know, 621 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 3: from a betting standpoint. 622 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 2: Just for our audience here, which plays in our run 623 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 2: the Board game, which is a pickup game against the 624 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: spread out in our Patreon for ballers dot com up 625 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: that it needs any extra plug here, But what is 626 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: your formula when you are determining which side of a 627 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 2: bet you want to go on? I mean, obviously there 628 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: are some spots that, as we've discussed here, jump out 629 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: to you. Whether it's a stinky line or a situational spot. 630 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: These things tend to be fairly obvious. But for games 631 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 2: that aren't. If you're just looking at a point spread 632 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 2: and one team is favored by seven and it feels 633 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: about right, what are like those points of information that 634 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: you would use to guide you to help pick one 635 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: side over the other. 636 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, look, you don't have to 637 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 3: bet every game obviously. That is the beauty of college 638 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: football is we have so many games out there that 639 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: you don't have to bet every side. But you know, 640 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 3: when you're playing in a pick them pool or something 641 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 3: like that, like you guys do with your your listeners, Yeah, 642 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 3: sometimes you just kind of trust your gut. Maybe a 643 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 3: little bit looked that way, but yeah, I mean look, 644 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 3: more often than not, I wouldn't say I'm a blind 645 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 3: underdog better, but I like to grab the points as 646 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 3: much as I possibly can. But now there's gonna be 647 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 3: spots where you're gonna want to, you know, lay lay 648 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 3: the chalk. So yeah, it's you know, as you'll hear 649 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 3: all the time, it's you know, case by case basis 650 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 3: however it's going to be. But yeah, I think, you know, 651 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: when you look at a point spread, I don't know 652 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: if I have a hard and fast breakdown of where 653 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 3: I go. Look, there are a lot of people in 654 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 3: my line of work that make their own power ratings. 655 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 3: I do not, you know, I trust in you know, 656 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 3: what odds makers put out there and kind of decipher, 657 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: you know. I think also to. One of the interesting 658 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 3: things kind of how you go about betting is I've historically, 659 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 3: as I look back at my bets, my Week one 660 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 3: tends to be one of my worst weeks. I don't 661 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 3: know what it is. I think I need to kind 662 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 3: of get a little bit more information under my belt. 663 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 3: And I also think too, you know, the overreaction to 664 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 3: what you saw last is such a such a commonplace, 665 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 3: you know, and from better And it's not just college football, 666 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 3: it's all sports, right. You know, you see a team win, 667 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 3: you know, forty two to nothing one week, and you 668 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 3: all right, they're going to be the betting favorite, and 669 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 3: then they're they're an underdog and you're like, wait, that's wrong. 670 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 3: And then they go out and they get blown out. 671 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 3: You got got to look into games. You got to 672 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 3: you know, you know, I know Phil Steele does this 673 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 3: a lot. He looks at you know, the teams that 674 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 3: are probably going to regress, right, is the turnover margin, 675 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 3: you know, out of out of whack one way or 676 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 3: the other. Oh my gosh, this team is minus fourteen 677 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 3: in the turnover margin. If they just don't turn the 678 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 3: ball over, they might win this game. And you do 679 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 3: see that certainly from time to time. So I think too, 680 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 3: to kind of go back to Tye, how you go 681 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 3: about it and why I feel like I tend to 682 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 3: be successful as the year goes on. I think, looking 683 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 3: at some of that data, what is what's the outlier here? 684 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 3: Did this team win you know, a game where they 685 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 3: were out gained by two hundred yards or did they 686 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 3: were they plus four in the turnover margin and they 687 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 3: won by two points probably indicating it probably shouldn't have 688 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 3: won that game. Do we utilize that to our advantage 689 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 3: as a better So? I think, you know, that's that's 690 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: why I think I tend to be better certainly as 691 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 3: a as a year goes on. And then lastly, I'll 692 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 3: say this, and I know you guys have done your 693 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 3: Bowl pick'ems forever. I think have had a successful bowl 694 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,959 Speaker 3: season like five or six straight years. I mean, bowl 695 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 3: season motivation is such a massive thing in these smaller bowls. 696 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 3: Now it gets challenging because, you know, not that long ago, 697 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 3: when the portal wasn't as rampant as it was, you 698 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 3: would look at a you know, a MAX school playing 699 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 3: a P four school and you'd be like, we're going 700 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 3: to take the Max school because they're motivated to play 701 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 3: a P four school. Now a lot of those school 702 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 3: their best players are all in the portal trying to 703 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 3: go to P four teams. So it's not as you know, 704 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 3: cut and dry as maybe it used to be. But yeah, 705 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 3: Bull season, you talk about motivation, man, that is a 706 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 3: that is a driving factor. There is no doubt Bowl 707 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 3: season is a is a clear motivational handicap for sure. 708 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 3: I mean you talk to pro betters, they just completely 709 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 3: throw out their numbers more often than not. Now the 710 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 3: playoff is different, obviously, but they just eliminate their numbers 711 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 3: because it's just it's impossible to know who's going to be, 712 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 3: you know, geared up to be in the you know, 713 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 3: the Frisco Bowl day night before Christmas. 714 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 2: It's so funny to hear you talk about your tendencies 715 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: because I find for myself I'm the exact opposite. And 716 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: I've joked about it on this show before. I am 717 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 2: a low information better. I do really well in September. 718 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 2: I do really well the first two weeks of the season. 719 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 2: If I were to shut everything down after September, I 720 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 2: would be much better off for it. You're in your 721 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: own head, ty, it's what analysis by over your you. 722 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 3: Already you said it. You can't get over what you 723 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 3: saw last You've got to remove from the brain what 724 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 3: you saw last Saturday and recognize that there's going to 725 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 3: be whether it's you know, I'm a big believer in 726 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 3: you know, regression, whether it's positive or negative, things tend 727 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 3: to come back. And you know, when you think out 728 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 3: a team like now there they are a team that 729 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 3: defy that logic. And once again, you know, I remember, 730 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 3: you know, a lot of us in the betting world 731 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 3: were continuing to try to go at Signetti last year, 732 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 3: being like, all right, we're gonna we're gonna get him 733 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 3: here Maryland catching. 734 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: Sun end soon, yeah yeah. 735 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 3: And then you know they would cover with ease there. 736 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's us. I mean, that's the beauty of 737 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 3: gambling man. And even if you're not a better I 738 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 3: just think looking at the point spread tends to be 739 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 3: so fascinating, Like what was the point spread in this one? 740 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's pretty interesting that they were a touchdown 741 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 3: underdog and they're winning by twenty one points. 742 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like you're saying I mean, you 743 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: said emotional, but like everybody knows this about Tye he's romantic, right, 744 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: of course that ty loves with his whole heart. So 745 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: if he sees Kansas State win a big game in 746 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: week three or week four, come week seven or eight, 747 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: Tye is just like, I still believe, right, I still 748 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: think even if there's three weeks consecutively of evidence to 749 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: the contrary, Ty's like, I'm gonna fight for this relationship. 750 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 3: Now. Every Johnson's hair just it's it's romantic. It's just romantic. 751 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm curious. You have the data. Everybody has the data. 752 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: If you want to look up who's good against the spread, 753 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: who's not good against the spread? You look at the 754 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: teams who tend to be terrible against the spread over 755 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: the course of a season, especially once you're eight, nine, ten, 756 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: eleven weeks in or whatever, and those teams tend to 757 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: be the ones who looked good last year and what 758 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, having a short memory here, looked 759 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: good last year and sort of fell off a cliff 760 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: this year, especially on defense, it seems. Is there a 761 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: point of the year where you where people who do 762 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: this professionally say to themselves, Okay, I know we had 763 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: high hopes for Blank, but it's now weak this and 764 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: we have to stop. We have to be real and 765 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: live in the moment. 766 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 3: Now I'm pulling up, so I track every one of 767 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 3: my liafe. 768 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: Last year was Arizona, right, Arizona were like, well, they 769 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: got the best receiver, they got the quarterback back, and 770 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: they were gone awful against the spread last year as 771 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: they collapsed with a new coach. 772 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you another one that was terrible against 773 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 3: the spread was Liberty. Liberty a year removed from you 774 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 3: know their run Oregon. Oregon destroyed Liberty. I mean they 775 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 3: ruined them, you know, beating them in that bowl game. 776 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 3: But they were a team that we all saw make 777 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 3: the College Football Playoff, believed to be just that much 778 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 3: better than everyone in Conference USA. And last year they 779 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 3: went three to nine against the spread, and they were 780 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 3: a team that you know, I fell for it. I 781 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 3: fell for I think mid season I ended up betting 782 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 3: them to win the conference because I was thinking they're 783 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 3: just better. But sometimes you know, it doesn't work out 784 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 3: that easily, right, There's not always going to be that 785 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 3: positive regression in that regard, but you know it is 786 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 3: worth noting. Right, you look at a team like Florida State, 787 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 3: for example, and you know, you got the comments from 788 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 3: Thomas Castianos as he now heads to Florida State from 789 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 3: Boston College. And you know, last year, guys, Florida State 790 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 3: opens up in Dublin, loses to Georgia Tech. And then 791 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 3: that number, I want to say opened I think as 792 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 3: high as twenty three in favor of Florida State against 793 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 3: Boston College, and I want to say, went all the 794 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 3: way down to sixteen and Boston and Boston College won 795 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 3: the game outright, right. So Florida State was one of 796 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 3: those teams where the market just couldn't adjust them fast enough. 797 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 3: And if you were just blindly fading Florida State, you 798 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 3: were making a ton of money. And then on the 799 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 3: flip side, we mentioned Indiana. Indiana ended up being a 800 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 3: team that just continued to cover and they ended up going, 801 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 3: you know, nine and four against the spread, and I'm 802 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 3: looking at it right now. They had the best cover 803 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,919 Speaker 3: margin in college football. They covered games. So once again, 804 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 3: let's say the point spread is seven. They covered games 805 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 3: by an average of twelve point eight points per game, 806 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 3: meaning a seven point spread on average. They beat that spread. 807 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 3: They won by twenty points. So that just tells you 808 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 3: that the market was just off in Indiana, so you'll 809 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 3: see it all the time. And this is where I 810 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 3: you know, I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to this. 811 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 3: When you start to see the trends on Twitter and 812 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 3: you start to hear from your neighbor and he's telling 813 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 3: you that you know, so and so has covered six 814 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 3: straight games, I'm like, all right, it's time to get off. Right. 815 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 3: It's like when your parents started doing something when you 816 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 3: were in middle school and you're like, whoa that is? 817 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,240 Speaker 3: That's no longer cool. So it is kind of funny 818 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 3: where that's just my brain where once I start to 819 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 3: see the people kind of pointing out a statistical trend 820 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 3: from an ATS standpoint, that's where I'm like, all right, 821 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 3: I got to get off or I got to go 822 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 3: on the other side. So well, once again, that's just 823 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 3: how my kind of crazy brain works. But yeah, I 824 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 3: mean that's that's something too, where you know, odds makers 825 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 3: have power ratings and they live by those power ratings 826 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 3: and they're going to adjust obviously, but it's hard to 827 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 3: overreact to one game. So Florida State, for example, they 828 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 3: go twelve to zero in you know, twenty twenty three, 829 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 3: and then we had no idea that they were going 830 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 3: to be that tragically bad last year, and once again, 831 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 3: not only did they go what two and ten straight up, 832 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 3: but I think they went to eight and two against 833 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 3: the spread because the market is trying to adjust fastly, 834 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 3: but they don't want to overreact to what we saw. 835 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 3: You know. Okay, they lost to Georgia Tech and Ireland. 836 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 3: All right, no big deal. Let's see how they do 837 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 3: against Boston College. Woh, they lost to Boston College. Now 838 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 3: we have to readjust and change our power ratings. So 839 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 3: they're trying to change on the fly, but they don't 840 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 3: want to change too much because then, you know, sharp 841 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 3: guys might come in and say, you guys shouldn't have 842 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 3: done this. You overreacted this too much, and we're going 843 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 3: to you know, pound you. On the other side, are 844 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 3: there ratings ratings? 845 00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: Are there people whose power ratings are more accurate over time? 846 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: Just in terms of like, Okay, this is my model, 847 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: this is my algorithm, this is my system or whatever, 848 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: and it has proved to be a more successful view 849 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: of who is and who isn't trustworthy in college football 850 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: than my competitors. 851 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 3: I mean, every pro better out there is hoping that 852 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 3: their system is got some edges, right, So I don't know. 853 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 3: I mean, look, a lot of pro betters we don't 854 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 3: even know who they are, you know. But there's a 855 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 3: lot of people out there that, you know, I'm not 856 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 3: going to name them, but there's plenty of handicappers. I 857 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 3: have a bunch on my show that they have respected 858 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 3: ratings and sometimes there's going to be a big discrepancy 859 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 3: in their power rating versus the market, and that's going 860 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 3: to lead them to a bet. So I don't know, 861 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 3: if if if I can name you one particular person 862 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 3: that you know, well, even like the odds makers, right, 863 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 3: the odds makers have their they yeah, they have ratings. 864 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: They have rankings where it's just like, yeah, Caesar's or 865 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: whoever was way lower on Arizona State than every everybody 866 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: else and that paid off. 867 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you'll see it, you know, Dan, when you 868 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 3: look at you know, different books that are out there. 869 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 3: My studio is inside the Circus Sports Book. They're they're 870 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 3: thought to be probably one of the sharpest books in 871 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 3: the world, if not the sharpest book in the world. 872 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 3: So you know, you look around and that and that's 873 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 3: what's kind of interesting. And you'll hear people like on Vsen. 874 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 3: We always say always shop around, right, and you know 875 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 3: this is something too. If you're just getting into gambling 876 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 3: and you know you're you're a twenty dollars a game, 877 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,720 Speaker 3: better whatever it is, whatever you feel, it doesn't matter. 878 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 3: But I always say this, you know, always look around. 879 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 3: You know, we as a society will drive. We'll drive 880 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 3: an extra ten miles if I can save you know, 881 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 3: two cents on gas, when in reality, probably driving that 882 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 3: far just was a waste of money. But at the 883 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 3: end of the day, it's in our minds that I've 884 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,359 Speaker 3: got to get the cheapest price out there. But when 885 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 3: it comes to gambling, I feel like people are like, well, 886 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 3: what's the difference between seven and a half and eight? 887 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,399 Speaker 3: It's like, well, over time, that's going to come back 888 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 3: and bite you in the butt. So you always, as 889 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 3: I always look around, don't just settle because it's more convenient, 890 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,800 Speaker 3: you know, get as many outs as possible. 891 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: I think that's a good life philosophy. 892 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you think about you know, Dan your state 893 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 3: in Illinois or tie your state in Pennsylvania. There's so 894 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 3: many books out there, whether it be DraftKings, FanDuel, you know, 895 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 3: Bet mgm et cetera, et cetera. That just look at 896 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 3: all of them. More often than not, guys, they're they're 897 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 3: going to have the same number. You know, you're not 898 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 3: going to see it off all that much, but there 899 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 3: are going to be differences in the futures market, you know, 900 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 3: when you look at hey, I like, you know, a 901 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 3: long shot Heisman bet that I made. Is it going 902 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 3: to come home? Probably not? But I bet Devin dan 903 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 3: Pier to win the Heisman Trophy as he goes to Utah, 904 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 3: He's one hundred to one at DraftKings. He's like fifty 905 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 3: to one everywhere else. Don't just settle and be like, well, 906 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 3: fifty to one is the same as one hundred to one. No, 907 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 3: it's it's double doublely better. You know, at so always 908 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 3: around and if you can, you know, it's kind of 909 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 3: tedious at times, but just just check your apps and 910 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 3: see if you can get a little bit of difference, 911 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 3: because there's a there's certainly a big difference between you know, 912 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 3: two and a half and three, six and a half 913 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 3: and seven, and if you can get that better number, 914 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 3: certainly it's it's definitely worth an over time. While you 915 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 3: may you know, I hear it all the time. Well, 916 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 3: I just I just laid the money line instead of 917 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 3: you know, taking the points. Okay, and that's that's your prerogative, 918 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 3: and maybe you'll hit more often than not. But as 919 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 3: you continue to do this time and time again, over 920 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 3: years and years and years, you're gonna get bit in 921 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 3: the butt if you're just only betting the money lines 922 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 3: as opposed to taking the points. 923 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:44,320 Speaker 1: What's the least efficient way to wager on college football props? Parlays? 924 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: You know what? What are you just like, Hey. 925 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 3: This is a teazers or here it is teasers? Never 926 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 3: tease college football? Look, okay. In the NFL, teasers have actually, 927 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 3: over time become a profitable endeavor. And I'll give you 928 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 3: an example. I'll give you kind of. 929 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: Just define teaser, by the way, for the people, so 930 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: thank you. 931 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:08,359 Speaker 3: A teaser is when you utilize points and you can 932 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,240 Speaker 3: manipulate the line. So your standard teaser is two team 933 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 3: six point teaser. And in the NFL these have become 934 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: profitable and sportsbooks have adjusted accordingly because in the NFL 935 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 3: the margins are so razor tight and the games are 936 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 3: going to tend to fall in there. So in the NFL, 937 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 3: if you're teasing The belief is you want to get 938 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 3: through what are key numbers? Right, key numbers are three 939 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,479 Speaker 3: and seven. Those are the most key numbers. That's what 940 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 3: games land on the most. So for example, I'll just 941 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 3: use random teams. If the Philadelphia Eagles are a one 942 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 3: and a half point underdog against the Kansas City Chiefs, 943 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 3: you can utilize a six point teaser and take the 944 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,760 Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles, move them through three, move them through seven, 945 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 3: and now you've got the Eagles as a seven and 946 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 3: a half point underdog. But it's not that easy. You 947 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 3: got to find another dance partner, right, So you got 948 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 3: to find another team that you feel like. Maybe the 949 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 3: Bills are a seven and a half point favorite against 950 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 3: the Dolphins. So we're going to take the Bills and 951 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 3: we're going to move them through seven and three, move 952 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 3: them down, and now I've got the Bills minus one 953 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 3: and a half and the Eagles plus seven and a 954 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 3: half and both have to hit in order for me 955 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 3: to win my bet. So in college football, go ask 956 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 3: an odds maker. They'll tell you the answer. They'll tell 957 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 3: you never tease in college football. There's too much volatility 958 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 3: in college football. So you know, look, parlays are fun. 959 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 3: We like to put together, you know, our five leg parlay, 960 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 3: you know, and try to hit on a big cash. 961 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 3: And if that's what you want to do your recreational 962 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 3: you know, teach their own I'm not going to tell 963 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 3: you not to do it, but for a teaser, it's 964 00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 3: just there's so much volatility out there in college football 965 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 3: where it's just it's not gonna be worth it to 966 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 3: utilize it. And when you look at the juice that 967 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 3: you have to pay, for example, in the NFL, juice 968 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 3: meaning what the house's take is going to be. In 969 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 3: the NFL, they've moved the juice of standard two team 970 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 3: six point teasers to anywhere from like minus one twenty 971 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 3: to minus one forty. They don't want you to play them. 972 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 3: That's why they've moved it that way. If you go 973 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 3: play like a college football teaser, there's like no juice. 974 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 3: It's like even money. It's a hint from the books 975 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 3: being like, sure, we'll take your money on this because 976 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 3: this won't come home more often than not. So look, 977 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 3: books love when you play parlays because it's harder to 978 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 3: hit parlays, right, you gotta hit, you gotta hit four 979 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 3: legs of five legs, six legs. Look, I'm not gonna lie. 980 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 3: I play them from time to time, some moneyline parlays 981 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,319 Speaker 3: I put together favorites. But in college football, you guys 982 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,720 Speaker 3: known as well as anybody, the weeks that we expect 983 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 3: there to be no chaos, there's utter. 984 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 2: Chaos, the quiet ones, right, it's always a quince. 985 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 3: You know. So yeah, do not tease college football. Let 986 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 3: me just that's my PSA. Do not tease college football. 987 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: There's I don't know if this is a fallacy. I 988 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: don't know if there's actual value in it. Do you 989 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: find it to be the case in the conversations you 990 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: have that hyper focusing on smaller conferences is valuable? Or 991 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 1: is football so big that the people who truly care 992 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: so that in this the book makers, the odds makers 993 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 1: like there they know what they're talking about with the 994 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: Conference USA lines and the Mountain West lines and FCS lines, 995 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 1: Or is there actual like are do these some of 996 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: these games sort of exists in the shadows mathematically, and 997 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: if you really lock in on a smaller conference you 998 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:45,800 Speaker 1: can succeed. 999 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 3: I think there is some validity to that. You know, 1000 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,879 Speaker 3: if you are only focusing on the MAC I think 1001 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,399 Speaker 3: you might find yourself having an edge. Now, I think 1002 00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 3: it's more more applicable to college basket because there's so 1003 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 3: many teams and you know, odds makers are just going 1004 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 3: to trust their power ratings and probably not look at 1005 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,359 Speaker 3: situational spots if you are focused in on you know, 1006 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 3: the NYC or the Patriot League. I think there is 1007 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 3: an edge to be had in college basketball, for sure. 1008 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 3: I think there still is the potential to look around 1009 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 3: in the MAC, in the CUSA if you want to 1010 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 3: divulge in the FCS. FCS numbers move very quickly, you know, 1011 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 3: meaning they're going to trust the bets that come in 1012 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 3: a lot, and they're going to move those numbers rapidly, 1013 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 3: you know, sharp money. Look, I don't move lines, right, 1014 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,760 Speaker 3: you guys don't move lines. The guys that are respect 1015 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 3: for yourself, Well that's true. I can't speak for Dan Tye. You. 1016 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 3: I don't think you. 1017 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,840 Speaker 1: Might move markets tie. Everybody knows this, but yeah. 1018 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 3: It's interesting. And look, that's also something to note. Right, 1019 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 3: you'll hear people like me or others saw about like 1020 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 3: sharp action that is coming in when a line moves. 1021 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 3: That is typically sharp action the public now, not all 1022 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 3: the time, but more often than not, the sharp action 1023 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 3: is the one that moves lines right. The public better 1024 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 3: is not going to move line. Sports books are okay 1025 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 3: taking a stand like they if they see that, you know, 1026 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 3: eighty percent of recreational betters are on, you know, Florida 1027 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 3: State plus twelve and a half against Alabama, probably not 1028 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 3: going to move that line because they're okay, they want 1029 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 3: to win, they want to beat the better at the 1030 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 3: end of the day. Now, if they see a bunch 1031 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 3: of betters that they respect coming in on Florida State 1032 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 3: plus twelve and a half, that's when you're going to 1033 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 3: see the number move right. So that is you know, 1034 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 3: I don't want to say it's a common misconception, but 1035 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 3: a lot of the time, you know people say, you know, 1036 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 3: sportsbooks want fifty to fifty action. That's not always true. 1037 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:58,760 Speaker 3: You know that they're going to want to take a stand, 1038 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 3: and you know you'll you'll hear like I have odds 1039 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 3: makers on all the time, and you know they'll say, hey, 1040 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 3: it was a great weekend for us. You know we 1041 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 3: got this underdog home or or this you know underdog 1042 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 3: one and it blew up moneyline parlays. So you hear 1043 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 3: that a lot too, where you know, you see, you know, 1044 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 3: especially in the NFL, guys, when you see like you 1045 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 3: know that they're gonna the Chiefs and the Eagles and 1046 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,359 Speaker 3: and all these very popular good teams, people just throw 1047 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 3: them into moneyline parlays, and when one of them loses, 1048 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,320 Speaker 3: it tends to be a good thing for the sports 1049 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 3: book because that's gonna wipe out all of these money 1050 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 3: line parlays. Because when you put together a money line parlay, right, 1051 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,840 Speaker 3: you get a little more creative juice. All right, cool, 1052 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 3: Now I've got you know, Ohio State paired with Penn State, 1053 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 3: paired with Oregon. All they have to do is win 1054 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 3: these three games and I'm going to bring it home 1055 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 3: at you know, plus one oh five. But when one 1056 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 3: of those teams loses, it tends to help out the 1057 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 3: sportsbook and wipe out those money line parlays. 1058 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: You have any good stories about somebody having eye and 1059 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 1: years everywhere finding out if a quarterback got dumped, finding 1060 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,839 Speaker 1: out if you know, a running back and his coach 1061 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: got in a screaming match and shoved each other and 1062 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 1: now he might not be playing. You know, a you 1063 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,800 Speaker 1: take your pick a receiver and his wife or girlfriend 1064 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: having a baby, and now he's up all night because 1065 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 1: he's got a newborn, and maybe you know, fade this thing, 1066 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: like do you have stories about you know, Sharp's having 1067 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: those eyes and ears everywhere? 1068 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 3: No doubt, I'll give you one. A couple of years ago, 1069 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 3: I think it was. I think it was twenty twenty one. 1070 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 3: Notre Dame was playing Virginia in Charlottesville and the week prior, 1071 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 3: Brennan Armstrong got banged up, and I was just kind 1072 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 3: of speculating him, like, I don't I don't think he's 1073 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 3: going to play. You know, it's it's Notre Dame. It's 1074 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 3: a big game. But it's also they still were, i 1075 00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:00,359 Speaker 3: think at the time, in the acc hunt. So I 1076 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 3: was just kind of poking around and reached out to 1077 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 3: a couple of folks and they were like, oh, yeah, 1078 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,359 Speaker 3: he's not playing. And then you find out a little 1079 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 3: bit further down the line, I think the stories come out, 1080 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 3: like how that information, you know, came out? So yeah, 1081 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,320 Speaker 3: I mean, if you can beat the market on information, 1082 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 3: like there are some really good folks out there that 1083 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 3: are just ruthless trying to find out information, you know, 1084 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 3: having sources inside you know, training facilities. 1085 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't unfortunately, come on, you got to get the 1086 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 1: kids in on this. Who's in a walking boot? 1087 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 3: I know? But yeah, every once in a while, I 1088 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 3: think I'll give you I remember, and this is with 1089 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 3: college basketball. I want to say it was like information 1090 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 3: that was like readily available, but it was a Patriot 1091 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 3: League team, American university. I think their best player had 1092 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,279 Speaker 3: played like illegally in you know, Europe or something like that, 1093 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 3: and he was suspended due to NCAA rules and the 1094 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 3: market just didn't realize it. And I'm like, did they 1095 00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,879 Speaker 3: know that their best player is just not playing today? 1096 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 3: The information was just out there, and you know, sometimes 1097 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 3: you just you know they're they're asleep at the wheel. 1098 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 3: Not so much in college football, but yeah, I mean 1099 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 3: I think if you have sometimes you just get lucky 1100 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 3: and you get that information. I'm trying to think of 1101 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 3: some others that I've know you have some good closing 1102 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 3: line value. But yeah, I do remember that Notre Dame 1103 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 3: Virginia game. I remember going on the air and be like, 1104 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 3: I know that Brendan Armstrong's not going to play, but 1105 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 3: it's not been reported, so I kind of try to 1106 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 3: like strongly hint, be like. 1107 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,520 Speaker 1: I don't know guys is up in the air. He 1108 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 1: might not be playing. 1109 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:36,719 Speaker 3: And then I want to say the points spread went 1110 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 3: from like seven to like fourteen once you officially got 1111 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,359 Speaker 3: ruled out, you know, before the start of the game. 1112 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 3: But hey, look so sometimes you get burned. Right, you 1113 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 3: have a source that's like, this guy is definitely not 1114 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 3: going to play, right, and then you're texting with people, 1115 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 3: you know what, You're like, is he warming up? They're like, yeah, 1116 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 3: he's going to play. You're like, oh, this is terrible information. So, 1117 00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 3: you know, always always trust your sources and trust your information. 1118 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 3: And obviously, as much as we want to trust everything 1119 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 3: that we see on on you know, social media, it's 1120 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 3: not always going to be accurate. So yeah, be careful 1121 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 3: all the time, you know, loading up, you know, every 1122 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 3: dollar that you have in a bank account, because you know, 1123 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 3: the uh, the you know, backup center told you information 1124 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 3: that the starting quarterback is going to be out the place. 1125 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 1: Kicker's hands have been shaking while he was drinking his smoothie. 1126 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if his mental state is where it 1127 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: needs to be, if this is close. 1128 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 2: We had so many people right in about cam Rising 1129 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 2: last year. 1130 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,680 Speaker 1: I remember that, well, people like that game it was a. 1131 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 3: Friday night game. It was Utah and like, oh god, 1132 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,919 Speaker 3: was it Washington State or something like that, and all 1133 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,080 Speaker 3: week winning him was like, yeah, he's gonna play. 1134 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: And then Friday night. Yeah, it's a couple of years ago. Yeah, 1135 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 1: that was a big thing too, because I don't I 1136 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: think this story was on the show somebody. I forget 1137 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: who told it, and forgive me, But that was also 1138 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 1: a Fox game that they were broadcasting from LA, so 1139 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: they didn't actually have the right and I think Kyle 1140 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: Whittingham kind of misled the broadcast crew, but like because 1141 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,800 Speaker 1: they weren't there, they didn't actually have eyes and ears 1142 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: on like the team and the situation and what was 1143 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: going on. And so like Fox felt betrayed being away 1144 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: from LA that they weren't getting the full information. That 1145 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 1: might have been Petros Papadacus. I forget who it was, 1146 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 1: but that was a whole thing with Cam Rising is 1147 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: going to play and then he just didn't. 1148 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And interestingly enough, I believe starting with this next 1149 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 2: round of the College Football Playoff, they're going to require 1150 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 2: schools to provide an availability report in advance of some 1151 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 2: of these games. 1152 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 3: So well, I'll say this real quickly thinking back to 1153 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 3: this last year's playoff, right, Jeremiah Love was all sorts 1154 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 3: of banged up, right, and I I probably put one 1155 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,919 Speaker 3: of my biggest bets of the year on his under 1156 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,240 Speaker 3: rushing yards and I think it came home against Penn State. 1157 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 3: But he played a lot more than we expected. You know, 1158 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 3: it was like, hey, he's going to have four carries. 1159 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 3: I think he had like eleven or twelve carries in 1160 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,479 Speaker 3: that game. And I think there were markets out there 1161 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 3: where it was like Jeremiah Love versus Trayveon Henderson, Who's 1162 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 3: going to have more rushing yards as he played Texas, 1163 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 3: and I'd loaded up on that, gave it out of 1164 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 3: my shows, and he ended up with like fifty some 1165 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 3: odd yards and Traveon Henderson, if I remember correctly, they 1166 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 3: didn't really run the ball all that well against Texas. 1167 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 3: So you know, sometimes you think that the information you've 1168 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 3: got is good and the market's off the off the mark, 1169 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 3: and it just doesn't come home. That's that's the beauty 1170 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 3: of sports betting, and in sports, right, it's that's all 1171 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 3: we love this stuff so much. So you know I 1172 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 3: hate everyone's like, you know, what, give me a lock 1173 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,200 Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm. 1174 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: Not going to Sorry, friend, I'm not going to do that. 1175 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 3: Like you know you can. I like this bet, I've 1176 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 3: made it myself. But there's no such thing as a lock. 1177 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,480 Speaker 3: And if you could just hit at you know, fifty 1178 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 3: five percent, you're doing you're doing very well, which I 1179 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,480 Speaker 3: know people don't like to hear. They want you to 1180 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 3: be hitting at you know, seventy five percent. 1181 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Well, let's close out with this. I won't ask you 1182 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: for your locks, but. 1183 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 2: Some of your favorite moves, some of your favorite lines, 1184 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 2: some things that have been of interest to you in 1185 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 2: the preseason. As I know you're every bit is deep 1186 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 2: in this as Dan and I are. What what are 1187 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 2: some of the some of the bets that you like? 1188 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean full disclosure, I've only made a 1189 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 3: couple so far. You know, I'm really diving into it 1190 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 3: now for for win totals and stuff like that. The 1191 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 3: long shot I mentioned already is Devin Dan Pierre and 1192 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people are going to discuss 1193 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,800 Speaker 3: John Mattier and look, I'm excited to see what he's 1194 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 3: going to bring to the table with his you know, 1195 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 3: his unique style of play down at Oklahoma, and you know, 1196 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 3: maybe I'm a little bit of a hater, but I 1197 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 3: want to see it, right. I want to see him 1198 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 3: perform at the level that he perform at in you know, 1199 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,919 Speaker 3: let's call it what it was, the Mountain West last year. 1200 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 3: As he goes to the best conference in college football 1201 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 3: from top to bottom. So you know, there's a there's 1202 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 3: a unique aspect of you know, Ben Arbuckle comes with 1203 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 3: him down to Oklahoma. But you know, look at the 1204 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,680 Speaker 3: odds board, guys on John Mattier. You know, the odds 1205 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 3: are very much baked in, and he is you know 1206 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 3: when you look at you know, Heisman Trophy thirty five 1207 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 3: to one, which you know if if he wins it, 1208 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 3: hey man, that more power to you. That's that's a 1209 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 3: great bet to make. But you know, I'm just not 1210 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 3: there yet. But I am excited about you know, Devin 1211 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 3: dan Pier because it's a similar situation where he brings 1212 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 3: he is coming with his offensive coordinator from New Mexico. 1213 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 3: I think it's Jason. He goes up to New Mexico 1214 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 3: or excuse me, goes to Utah and look, the schedule 1215 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 3: is much more manageable for Utah as opposed to Oklahoma. 1216 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 3: Oklahoma's believed by some people to have the most difficult 1217 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 3: sched in college football this upcoming year. So, you know, 1218 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 3: Devin dave Peer is not the polished passer that I 1219 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 3: would say John Mattier is, but you know, you watch 1220 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 3: some of his highlights a year ago. Man that was 1221 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 3: a special, special player, and the level of talent that 1222 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,120 Speaker 3: was on New Mexico's roster was was not anywhere close 1223 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 3: to what Washington State was. So he's kind of the 1224 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 3: guy that I'm most intrigued about this year in college football, 1225 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 3: you know, from an outside standpoint. Obviously, I'm intrigued by 1226 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 3: you know, Ty Simpson and you know CJ. Carr and 1227 01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 3: players that you know, the big time programs. But he 1228 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 3: is the one guys that I threw one hundred to 1229 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 3: one bet on him. I think that's still out there 1230 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 3: at DraftKings. You know, once again, long shot, it was, 1231 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 3: as we like to call pizza bed. It was nothing big, 1232 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 3: but that one. I'm like, I'm a little bit talking 1233 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,640 Speaker 3: out of both sides of my mouth in the sense 1234 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 3: that I'm questionable on John Mattier and I'm all in 1235 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 3: on Devin damp here. But you know, the SEC versus 1236 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 3: the big twelve let's be real, right, you know, that's 1237 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,600 Speaker 3: a little bit of a different ballgame in those two 1238 01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 3: particular conferences. I mentioned Clemson obviously, they are a team 1239 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 3: that I'm very high on. And then you know, the 1240 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 3: one team that I feel like, as crazy as it sounds, 1241 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 3: and it's not like they're a one hundred to one 1242 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 3: shot that just people may not be discussing enough in 1243 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,040 Speaker 3: my opinion, is Alabama. You know, when you look at 1244 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 3: the positional strengths that they have, I think, you know, 1245 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 3: and I'm not saying that he's the Gospel, but I 1246 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,480 Speaker 3: think Phil Steele had them top ten in every position 1247 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,760 Speaker 3: outside of quarterback. And I think that's what's so fascinating 1248 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,200 Speaker 3: about this year, guys, is if a couple of these 1249 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,480 Speaker 3: schools hit at the quarterback position, whether it be Ty 1250 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 3: Simpson at Alabama or CJ. Carr at Notre Dame or 1251 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 3: Dante More at Oregon, Like, what's the ceiling for these 1252 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 3: particular schools? Right? Like they have loaded rosters, but we 1253 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 3: just don't know about the quarterback, and the quarterbacks the 1254 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 3: most important position in the sport. But what if they hit. 1255 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 3: It's not like Ty Simpson was some JABBRONI he was 1256 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 3: a five star wars crewed a couple of years ago. CJ. 1257 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 3: Carr high four star recruit. So we know recruiting rankings 1258 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,520 Speaker 3: are hit or miss, and there's plenty of bus out there. 1259 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 3: But what I think was interesting when you look at 1260 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 3: Georgia and Bama and Notre Dame and Oregon is that 1261 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 3: they didn't really go in the portal. They didn't look 1262 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 3: all that hard. Miami did right. They brought in Carson 1263 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 3: Beck and you know, from my understanding, we had a 1264 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,920 Speaker 3: friend of your show, Scott Doctrman, on my podcast and 1265 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 3: he said that, you know, Miami went hard after Mark 1266 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,920 Speaker 3: Ronowski from South Dakota State. So Miami was clear, we 1267 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 3: need a quarterback. The other schools are kind of like, 1268 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 3: we're good, we think we can roll with this. So 1269 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 3: going back to Bama real quickly, guys, you know, Caitlin 1270 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 3: de Boor, it felt like maybe his stock was too 1271 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 3: high when he went down to Bama. And now doesn't 1272 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 3: it feel like the stock is like, well, this guy's 1273 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 3: got to do it not for losses. Is not how 1274 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 3: you do it down here in Tuscaloosa. I'm like, the 1275 01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 3: rosters still loaded with talent, and Ryan Williams maybe you know, 1276 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 3: the best wide receiver one B to Jeremiah Smith's one A. 1277 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 3: And if Ty Simpson hits with an offensive coordinator and 1278 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 3: Ryan Grubb that has worked wonders over his career. You know, 1279 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:24,200 Speaker 3: that reuniting reunion of Grub and Deboor. I think needs 1280 01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 3: to get a little bit more love out there. Like, look, 1281 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 3: Penn State, you went out, you got Jim Knowles. That 1282 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 3: could work out wonderfully well, and I'm not saying it won't, 1283 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,760 Speaker 3: but I think people are overlooking the fact that Ryan 1284 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 3: Grubb and Kaylin de Boor led Washington to the National 1285 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 3: Championship Game two years ago, and now with more talent, 1286 01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 3: we're kind of looking at Alabama as like the eighth 1287 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 3: or ninth best team in the country. So I just 1288 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 3: I think Alabama I would not be surprised if they're 1289 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 3: playing in late January wonderful. 1290 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 1: Well. 1291 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,040 Speaker 2: His name is Tim Murray. You can find him out 1292 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 2: on the v SIN network as well as the Vson 1293 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,960 Speaker 2: College Football Betting podcast. Anything that I missed, Tim. 1294 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 3: I don't think, so I got it all just fired 1295 01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 3: up to get to going. Oh I do uh I 1296 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 3: actually you did miss something. For those of you watching 1297 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 3: with us, you could see over my shoulder. That is 1298 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 3: my prestigious college jersey I was. I was an All American, 1299 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 3: and by All American, I played about nine minutes a 1300 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 3: game from Ulenberg College.

It 1354 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,840 Speaker 3: was a fact. My junior year, I was eight for 1355 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 3: thirty one from the free throw on at twenty five 1356 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 3: point eight percent. I don't know how you can. 1357 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Was it your hands, was it your head? Was it 1358 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 1: your rhythm?
