Speaker 1: This is Dan Patrick takes a game. Gambling was something
Speaker 1: that I did a clever way to circumvent Dan actually
Speaker 1: making bets himself by using a proxy, and I became
Speaker 1: consumed by it and now joined by bad Larry and
Speaker 1: Dylan the graphics guy. Here's Dan Patrick. Hello Dan, Hi Larry,
Speaker 1: Hi Larry. Once again. Uh, we have moved on from
Speaker 1: the NFL season, and Larry was slightly better than Dylan
Speaker 1: for the NFL season, but we've taken away the units,
Speaker 1: so no units will be in March badness. It's just
Speaker 1: you guys picking. How about seven of your best bets
Speaker 1: for the opening games? Is that is that good? Dylan?
Speaker 1: That sounds good? Okay, okay, all right, I'll start with
Speaker 1: Dylan and uh, your best bets starting with So starting off,
Speaker 1: we got number twelve Richmond plus ten and a half
Speaker 1: against number five Iowa in there, all right, Io, would
Speaker 1: I would dominate it at the end. They want eight
Speaker 1: of their last nine games the end of the regular season,
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of an Iowa hitter for some reason. Okay,
Speaker 1: And everyone seems pretty high on they won the Big
Speaker 1: Ten and the Big Ten had an unbelievable They got
Speaker 1: what nine schools in the in the term. But everyone's
Speaker 1: yeah Keegan Murray. I think, yeah, Kegan Murray's good, but
Speaker 1: he's not even the best player at IOWA. It's Caitlyn Clark, Yeah, Sana, Okay.
Speaker 1: What else do you have? Um? I got number ten
Speaker 1: at San Francisco plus one and a half against number
Speaker 1: seven Mary State. Okay. San Francisco hadn't been in the
Speaker 1: tournament since ninteen ninety eight, so it's nice to I
Speaker 1: grew up bad, Larry, and I remember when Bill Cartwright
Speaker 1: was at San Francisco. Yeah, and you go back even
Speaker 1: with Bill Russell. Yeah, alright, what else you have? Um?
Speaker 1: I got number four U c l A minus thirteen
Speaker 1: half against number thirteen Akron okay. And number seven Michigan
Speaker 1: State my just one against number ten Davidson. This is
Speaker 1: for Ray. He's a big Michigan State fan. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: nobody cares that Ray. You're not betting going? Oh who
Speaker 1: does Ray? Like he's the interne That was like a
Speaker 1: tertiary reason, but I figured out, you know, I'd throw
Speaker 1: him about. Yeah, great, um And then we got number
Speaker 1: nine TCU as a pick him against number eight Seaton Hall.
Speaker 1: All right, TCU second time in the tournament in twenty years.
Speaker 1: They're pretty solid this year. And then I've got number
Speaker 1: twelve Richmond money line against number five Iowa. Really like Richmond.
Speaker 1: I do like Richmond. I don't really know why, but
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, we know about the five seeds, five
Speaker 1: seeds against twelve seeds. And then another money line dog
Speaker 1: number eleven Iowa State against number six l s U
Speaker 1: Iowa State straight up plus one sixty. Okay. Iowa State
Speaker 1: started out twelve and oh end of the year winning eight,
Speaker 1: going eight and twelve. Yeah, great, but that thanks for
Speaker 1: telling me it's not great to go eight and twelve
Speaker 1: to end the regular season. Thank you. It's not terrible. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: bad lay, what are we starting with? Okay, well, you
Speaker 1: want to limit me to seven, I'm gonna get rid
Speaker 1: of my Providence game. No, no, you can go if
Speaker 1: you've got eight strong ones, and that's fine. You don't
Speaker 1: have to do. You know whatever you got right now?
Speaker 1: Then I gotta go. I'm taking the Providence and minus
Speaker 1: two and a half against South Dakota State. I know
Speaker 1: they can shoot threes and all that stuff. We're gonna
Speaker 1: beat them. So Providence minus stone half bad Larry went
Speaker 1: to Providence. I got Providence minus two. Okay, yeah, well
Speaker 1: you always think there's a conspiracy theory that we look
Speaker 1: at your bets and then we always make them tougher
Speaker 1: on you. I'm in Coral Gables, Florida. The girls are
Speaker 1: in some botanical gardens. I'm sitting outside in the eighty
Speaker 1: degree heat. So go easy on me. Are you having
Speaker 1: a beer and not yet? I rolled right after this show.
Speaker 1: Seaton Hall minus the one and a half against TCU.
Speaker 1: I got him as a pick him. Oh man, Okay,
Speaker 1: now I think I'm getting No, I'm just going with
Speaker 1: the we go with DraftKings. That's all TCU in the tournament.
Speaker 1: Uh for the second times in twenty years. So and
Speaker 1: so Providence Seaton Hall. I want the under in the
Speaker 1: Providence game one and a half or one nine and
Speaker 1: a half? No, not seen Hall game the Providence game
Speaker 1: that can Okay, that's one nine and a half. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: so under Providence, then I want to the Zags then
Speaker 1: three and a half against Georgia State. Okay, Kentucky minus
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half against St. Peter's. By the way,
Speaker 1: Georgia is not great against the spread in n c
Speaker 1: A a tournament action, just that they have a losing
Speaker 1: mark against the spread, just letting you know if that
Speaker 1: Georgia State does, uh no, Gonzaga does. Oh I think
Speaker 1: said Georgia. Yeah, gonna be a little too tough for them. Okay.
Speaker 1: And then you got Kentucky minus eighteen. Okay, I can St.
Speaker 1: Peter Little Jersey City School, but I thought a Mommoth
Speaker 1: was going to win that conference in Mommoth was gonna go.
Speaker 1: So I'll bet against St. Peter. Then I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Duke Mines eighteen against cal State full of him. Okay.
Speaker 1: And then there's a little stretch here, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Tennessee minus to sixteen and a half. Longwood, it's
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half. Cancel Tennessee. Good because I've added
Speaker 1: a couple one more after that. Cancel Tennessee. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: what is the under in the Yale Purdue game is
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to look it up. This is, you know,
Speaker 1: aut a left field here, lair. Okay, that's good, Sorry
Speaker 1: about that. I'm gonna take the under in the produce.
Speaker 1: I mean, the only way you can stay anywhere near
Speaker 1: the game. We gotta slow it down. I got Yale
Speaker 1: getting sixteen and a half, but I don't have an
Speaker 1: over under it. Okay, all right, and that'll wrap up
Speaker 1: my picks for this first round. Well from the first round,
Speaker 1: these are your best bets, you and Dylan. You guys
Speaker 1: are gonna pick all of the games against the spread
Speaker 1: against the spread, all right, So that'll be on the
Speaker 1: website as well. Uh, you guys have national title picks? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, who do you have? Lair? I think
Speaker 1: we should go final four. I got Conservo, used to
Speaker 1: l A, Tennessee and all Burn in my final four,
Speaker 1: was Gonzaga and all Burn in the semifinal game and
Speaker 1: Acts finally winning one. All right, I got them winning
Speaker 1: the title plus three. D Dylan, um my final four? Well,
Speaker 1: so okay, I have U c l A winning the title? Wow? Okay,
Speaker 1: um my final four? I believe I had had U
Speaker 1: c l A, Gonzaga, UM Tennessee and Kansas. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you just up my final four and then just throw
Speaker 1: in the one number one seed out of that. That's
Speaker 1: how out of the Midwest I would Actually I do
Speaker 1: want to add one more bet for this week, and
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a direct shot at Larry and
Speaker 1: I actually have them as part of my against the
Speaker 1: spread picks for the first round. I want to add
Speaker 1: South Dakota State plus two against problems. I knew, I
Speaker 1: knew where you were. Like it? I like it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, how does get that? I mean we're a
Speaker 1: four seed. It's a weird South Dakota State is there's
Speaker 1: a second like the top the next one to go?
Speaker 1: Other teams receiving votes, Yeah, there's there's twenty seventh ranked
Speaker 1: team in the country. Well, the four seas flying. I
Speaker 1: think your performance in the Big East Tournament knocked you down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: embarrassing was that layer? That was horrible? Absolutely horrible. And
Speaker 1: Province does not have a great track record in the
Speaker 1: tournament as of late. No, Well, Marvin took us to
Speaker 1: the final four. Billy Donovan took us to the final four.
Speaker 1: They're pretty good track records well when they get there,
Speaker 1: but they they're not always in the tournament. It was
Speaker 1: alive we were, and I guarantee that was alive, there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be nine. Then I think they kill this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they never the big ten teams there's always a
Speaker 1: ton of them, and then they never do anything, and
Speaker 1: don't worry about them. You're good. Yeah, them're gonna win four.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose another prediction. All right, So all of
Speaker 1: the bets the first thirty two games, you guys are
Speaker 1: going to bet against the spread, and we'll do that
Speaker 1: for the rounds following, and then we'll basically, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see where our record and shakes out for those
Speaker 1: and then you know, money line beds and over unders
Speaker 1: and stuff. Okay, so I have it all kind of okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and they'll I will send you my um. I just
Speaker 1: fell a graphic. I get a bunch of people who
Speaker 1: want me to sell out their brackets form um I
Speaker 1: will send you Larry, Larry, you don't do anything. You're
Speaker 1: making it sound like you're so busy when you don't
Speaker 1: have a job. And people, I'm not real technical savvy.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm in the hotel. I couldn't even get
Speaker 1: on the internet to load. Are these people paying you
Speaker 1: to fill out their brackets for? These? Are friends? There?
Speaker 1: I do this stuff for friends. Maybe I'll have you
Speaker 1: thought mine. I will send you in my bracket and
Speaker 1: then Bill and I will circle up the winner against
Speaker 1: the spread. Okay, the brackets already sold out. But I'll
