1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome on into the Betting Pros College 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: Football look Ahead Show four Week seven. We're already halfway 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: through the college football season here and I'm Tom Biolan. 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: As always, I'm joined by none other than the God 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: of Thunder himself, Thornstrom, because we are going to be 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: taking a look at his look aheadlines and where he 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: is thinking for some of the biggest games on this 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: week's college football slate. Or I want to extend my 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: condolences as the show begins here. We were all pulling 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: for Kansas there at the end. They kept it close, 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: ended up with the push against the spread. But you 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: know that's little condolence for for what happened this week 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: against TCU. 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's October ninth, and this is the first show 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: that we've done together. We're either Kansas or Syracuse has 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 2: a loss, so I mean that's a huge win I suppose, 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: and it was a valiant effort for Kansas, so I 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: definitely can't be disappointed at all. And it's good to 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: be with you, Thomas. 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: That bean kid, I'll tell you he looked good. I 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: credit Kansas for not turtling when they went to their 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. They stayed aggressive and he made a lot 23 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: of the plays he needed to. 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: It's a great point that kid can play. And we'll 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: get to this when we talk about Kansas Oklahoma. But 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: you can't downgrade Kansas a lot if their starting quarterback 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: is out because Jason Bean is a player. That kid 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: can absolutely play. 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: Well, let's get right in with that game, because Kansas 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: is taking on Oklahoma this week. They are seven point 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: dogs in Oklahoma, and I mean, you know, can't Oklahoma 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: got absolutely bush whacked by Texas this week. Can Kansas 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: do it? 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I mean yes, They're a live dog. Absolutely. 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: The enormous part of this handicap has to do with 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: the quarterback statuses on both sides. Obviously, is Dylan Gabriel 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: going to play on the Oklahoma Homa side? Is Jalen 38 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: Dan Only Daniel's going to play on the Kansas side 39 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: with Gabriel. There's been the thing about Oklahoma used to 40 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: have the two week mandatory sit out for the concussions 41 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 2: if it was a confirmed concussion diagnosis. I actually don't 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: know under the Venables regime if that's still in place. 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: If it is, like you know, I didn't stay in 44 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: a holiday express last night. But I'm pretty sure that 45 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: the Gabriel has a confirmed concussion diagnosis, so you would 46 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: think that that would mean that he would have to 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: sit out, But again I'm not sure if that protocol 48 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: is still in place under Venables, so stay tuned on 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: that one. And then with Daniels, he suffered the injury 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: in their last game when against CCU when he was 51 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: scrambling around at the right around the sideline and he 52 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: takes a sack and his right shoulder was driven into 53 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: the ground, which typically is a pretty ominous injury. Jason Bean, 54 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: like I was just mentioning, came in and played absolutely awesome. 55 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Was dropping dimes everywhere. And that was a case who 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 2: started earlier in his career at North Texas and was 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: also a track star as a prep in Texas. Not 58 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: only does he have a good arm, he is also 59 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: an awesome athlete. Like I was sort of teasing earlier 60 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: when we did the intros, I don't think you downgrade 61 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: Kansas a whole heck of a lot if Daniels is out, 62 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: if Gabriel is out, like as we've seen, you downgrade 63 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: Oklahoma quite a bit. Like you downgrade Oklahoma a touchdown 64 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: or more of if Gabriel is out, if Daniels is out, 65 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: maybe a point on the Kansas side. So you have 66 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: to watch that that very closely, just in a vacuum. 67 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: My line on that game is Oklahoma minus six point 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: four live right now it's Oklahoma minus seven, So you know, 69 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: I'm pretty close to the Vegas line, just showing that 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: the smallest amount of value on Kansas. But again, you 71 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: got to watch that very closely. Another thing I'll say 72 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: is Oklahoma. I mentioned this last week in some of 73 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: the episodes that we did, they have perilous depth issues 74 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: at linebacker. Right now they are down to four active, 75 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: healthy scholarship linebackers. That's another thing you have to watch 76 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: very closely. Regardless of what Kansas is quarterback situation, whether 77 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: it's gonna be Bean or Daniels, Kansas does all the 78 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: motion stuff, gets people out moving around motion and and 79 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: then moves the quarterbacks out, uh, you know on the 80 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: bootlegs and stuff like that. Uh. They put the opposing 81 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: linebackers into conflict on every single play and and and 82 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: and venables. Uh. Going back to his Clemsed days, ask 83 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: so much of his linebackers the responsibility because he does 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: all these replacer, uh concepts where in terms of the 85 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: blitzing and the coverage where where he'll blitz and then 86 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: he has, uh, you know, ask a different defender to 87 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: replace that person in in in the the alignment, which again, 88 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: you know, it asks a lot of the linebackers because 89 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: you have to, you know, do different things. You have 90 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: to put on different hats. Not only are your linebacker 91 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: and a different play you might ask to be a rusher, 92 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: you might ask to be you know, you know, have 93 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: have safety responsibility. 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different roles that have to go 95 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: on here for these linebackers, and they haven't shown so 96 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: far that they've been able to handle it. How much 97 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: longer do you think Venables really has especially if Kansas 98 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: pulls it off and manages to win this game, especially 99 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: with Jason Bean at quarterback that's own foreign conference play 100 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. I can't imagine Venables is going to be 101 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: the most popular guy in town much longer. 102 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean he's he's I mean, he's gonna 103 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: make it at least through the end of next year. 104 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: I mean, just because he's he's new, you're gonna give 105 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: him a little bit of leash. But this is not 106 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: a good start for Brent Vannaballs, you know, and like 107 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: when Lincoln left and you hired Venables, there's all the 108 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: Oklahoma fans being like, oh, you know, who cares that 109 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: Lincoln left? You know, we upgraded a coach, and those 110 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: folks are very quiet right now. This has been an 111 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: absolutely horrible start for Venables. I would argue right now 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: that Oklahoma might be the second worst team in the 113 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: Big Twelve, and it I mean, they are moving in 114 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: on being the worst team in the Big twelve. I 115 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: think the worst team in the Big Twelve right now 116 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: is West Virginia and it is becoming arguable between them 117 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: and West Virginia. Without Dylan Gabriel, Oklahoma probably is the 118 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: worst team in the Big twelve. This again, the status 119 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: of Dylan Gabriel is absolutely crucial for this game. If 120 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel doesn't play, Kansas is gonna beat Oklahoma. I'm 121 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: just telling you right now, So you need to watch 122 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: that status very very closely. Getting the seven points, I mean, 123 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: like again, watch it closely. You might just want to 124 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: take it, like, you know, if you can see that 125 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: out there in the marketplace, because Kansas is live even 126 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: playing Gabriel, But like, if Gabriel's out that it's a 127 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: gift getting seven points with Kansas. 128 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm tempted to take that line now and 129 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: then hope because would you say that this line with 130 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: Gabriel playing should be around seven? 131 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, so it's a fair line. Yeah. 132 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: So then for me right now, I'm looking to take 133 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Kansas and get some action on this game early and 134 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: then I mean, you don't want to hope that someone's injured, obviously, 135 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: and these are college kids, we want them to be okay. 136 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna take the Kansas, this is probably 137 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: the best time that you're gonna want to do it. 138 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: But how about Penn State versus Michigan. It's gonna be 139 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: a classic Big ten battle here. I personally think Penn 140 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: State's a little bit overrated. I don't trust this team ever, 141 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: and that's probably jading my bias a little bit here. 142 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: But Michigan is getting just seven points in this game 143 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: in the Big House, that line feels wrong to me. 144 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it feels a little bit short to 145 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: me too. It was funny. I was watching the Viking 146 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: game earlier with the Michigan alum and he had asked 147 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: me what I thought that spread would be, and I 148 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: was higher when I guessed it, then then it turned 149 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: out to be So I'm definitely with you on that. 150 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: Michigan has impressed me quite a bit this year, and 151 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: and Penn State they've just been you know, they've they've 152 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: you know, it's just been kind of man. I mean, 153 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: like the last and they are coming off of a 154 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: buy so maybe you know, like there's an idea that 155 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: they're going to come in rest it or whatever. But 156 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: like the last time that we saw them, they were 157 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: beating Northwestern by ten points at home, you know, sort 158 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: of a thing that the offense isn't terribly explosive, they 159 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: can't take the top off of the defense. The rushing 160 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: attack has gotten marginally better, the running back room has 161 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: gotten marginally better, the offensive line has gotten marginally better. 162 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: But it doesn't neither of them scare you, you know, 163 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 2: I mean, because I mean where they were coming from 164 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: was all really really bad. It's just not a team 165 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: that that terrifies me. And and Michigan is still a 166 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: playoff contender. So yeah, I mean for me, that play 167 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: be Michigan or nothing. 168 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: Who do you trust over Michigan or Ohio State. I mean, 169 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: I know it's the classic rivalry there, but is Michigan 170 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: really at that same level. 171 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: Michigan's not at Ohio State's level. For if it was 172 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: that game on a neutral for me, it would depend 173 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: on what the line is. But it's not to the 174 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: degree where I would disqualify Michigan. They're still both at 175 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: the near levels where they were at recently. And obviously 176 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: we saw what I mean like, it's how would I 177 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: put it? Michigan still has the puncher's chance and last 178 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: time Hassan Haskins knocked out Ohio State, so it's it's 179 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: it's still that sort of situation where you absolutely wouldn't 180 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: discount Michigan and Michigan State. Michigan could absolutely still win. 181 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: How about Auburn versus Ole Miss? Here should be an 182 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: interesting game? Be his Ole Miss is at least the 183 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: ninth ranked team in the nation right now. Be interesting 184 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: is not quite the word because Auburn's disappointed this year. 185 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: But should All Miss be a sixteen point favorite in 186 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: this SEC showdown? 187 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair. My line on it is 188 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: Old Miss minus fifteen, uh and you know, and it 189 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: being up to six, I think that's a fair tax 190 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: because of the the Brian Harson thing. You know, every 191 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: single week, I'm waiting for Auburn to quit on him, 192 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: and for Auburn then to to fire Brian Harson and 193 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: and and we'll see when that ends up happening. But 194 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: I do think it's fair. And and mister b you 195 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: know that they've looked pretty good, you know, and you know, 196 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: you know last week, uh they you know, early on 197 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: Vanderbilt was playing with him, but then uh, ole Miss 198 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: turned it on at the end, and then Lane Kiffin 199 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: the the very humorous thing at the end of that 200 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: game of very clearly overtly going for the cover and 201 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: then getting it. Uh you know, I I think I 202 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: would lean towards ole Miss in that game. And I 203 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: definitely would not be back in Auburn anytime soon. 204 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Now, how about let's talk about him. We already talked 205 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: about Oklahoma, but Texas now takes on Iowa State here 206 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: as fourteen point favorites for the question that we all 207 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: want to know, is Texas back? 208 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: Texas? Texas getting closer and closer to being back for sure, 209 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: But like last week, you know, I think that in 210 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: the court of public opinion, they're they're probably going to 211 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: be inflated a bit because of last week's result. Oklahoma 212 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: obviously is way down and circumstantially they cut Oklahoma in 213 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: an all time spot last week without Gabriel, with where 214 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: the linebacker spot is, and and and some of the 215 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: different positions. Like I was I was mentioning before, but 216 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: you know, they got Texas had gotten back Quinn Viewers, 217 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: and they were back at full strength. But this Texas 218 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: team is really good. It's the best incarnation of Texas 219 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: that we've seen for the past few years. This Texas 220 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: team is good. Is it back to the you know, 221 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: the to the degree that it's a playoff contender? I'm 222 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: not sure about that, but they are pretty good. Quinn 223 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: Ewers is for real and b Jon Robinson is the 224 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: best running back in America. So like, you do have 225 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: that stuff, and they can play defense as well, like 226 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 2: we saw that against Alabama. I'm not gonna say we 227 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: saw that against Oklahoma because I don't think that Oklahoma 228 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 2: offense run by Davis Bevel and whatnot. I don't think 229 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: they could have scored on u Ellman Roe. But you know, 230 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: they're back to a reasonable degree. Iowa State they're going 231 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: to require Texas to play a different kind of a game. 232 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: Iowa State, They're going they drag every team out into 233 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 2: deep waters. They don't want to play a football game. 234 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: They want to do a rock fight every every different 235 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 2: team that they play, it's a rock fight. Iowa, Iowa 236 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: plays rock fights with everybody. So but Kansas State was 237 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: a rock fight every single you know team. So so 238 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: they're not going to do a shootout with Texas. If 239 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: Texas thinks they're going to do a shootout with Iowa State, 240 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 2: they're gonna be sadly mistaken. This is this is gonna 241 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: be a low scoring kind of a game, a methodical game. 242 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: I would be looking more at the under I think, 243 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: than than the side of this one. And I think 244 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: probably Iowa State is more of a live dog than 245 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: this line is going to be, indicating my numbers would 246 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: are more bullish on Texas than I would be personally, 247 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: just because I respect Iowa State more of what I 248 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 2: think the game script and the game flow of this 249 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 2: game could be. I think Iowa State has a shot 250 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: to ambush Texas in this game, particularly for Texas coming 251 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 2: off of that exhilarating win over Oklahoma and a week 252 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: of Texas is back, people pumping their tires off of 253 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 2: just annihilating Oklahoma. 254 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna start feeling that hype now, and that's 255 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: when you can really start a team. And iwa was 256 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: State like they've done it before. They they've gone into 257 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: people's houses and been a cyclone before and taking out 258 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: some of these teams. I think this could be another spot. 259 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: What do you think? 260 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah, I mean this is this is 261 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: the classic Texas letdown spot. It's the classic Iowa State 262 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 2: ambush spot. Just sort of the confluence of both lining up. 263 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: I like, for me, like I think I would be 264 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: looking to maybe nibble on the Iowa State both the 265 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: spread and maybe even the money line. I mean, I 266 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: feel like people are gonna be betting on Texas all week, 267 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: so I don't even think you need to bet on 268 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: Iowa State early. The line's uh Texas mind is fourteen, 269 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: but like, like I feel like this thing's probably gonna 270 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: toggle up over that. So you know, for me, I'm 271 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 2: gonna be waiting until it gets to fourteen and a 272 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: half before you know, I look to fire the bullet. 273 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: But That's what I'm gonna be looking for in that one. 274 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about some really big games this week, 275 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: and you know, it doesn't get bigger than this one. 276 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: Eighteen versus fifteen, you know what I'm talking about. Here, 277 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: we got syracusan and SEE State going at it in 278 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: the Loud House, the JMA Wireless Dole, as it has 279 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: always been known. Where are you going in this one? 280 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: Because right now Syracuse favored by four and a half 281 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: over NC State. I was not expecting this. I feel 282 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: like there's a lot being considered with the fact that 283 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: Syracuse had that incredible win over Wagner, which isn't something 284 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: to often say about an opponent of that caliber. But 285 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: anytime that you get the other team to say, hey, 286 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: can we shot the quarters to ten minutes for the 287 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: second half, you're doing something right. But NC State, even 288 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: coming off that that loss to Clemson and then that 289 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: game against Florida State that didn't quite go how they 290 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: wanted it to, they're still a good team. 291 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I feel like people are gonna look at 292 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: this and you know, like when when they're looking down 293 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: the betting card and they're they're gonna see Syracuse favored 294 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: by you know, four or whatever against NC State an 295 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: NT State team that's coming off of Syracuse favored by 296 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: four and a half, and NC State team, a five 297 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: and one NC State team coming off of a two 298 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: point win over Florida State, and they're gonna be scratching 299 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: their heads, like Syracuse favor by four and a half 300 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: over NC State. The context that people need to keep 301 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: in mind not necessarily the Syracuse win over Wagner, but 302 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: you know, but maybe maybe a little bit. But it's 303 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: it's more the Devin Leary injured injury for for NC State. 304 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: In an addition to that, NC State's wide receiver, to Carter, 305 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: he got injured in the game against Florida State, and 306 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: and NC State's running back got injured in that game. 307 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: So NC State is dealing with with several injuries right now. 308 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: We're recording this on Sunday night. We'll have to see 309 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: NC State's injury report in the coming days to see 310 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: who's in who's out. But that's a team that's dealing 311 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: with a rash of injuries right now. Want to see 312 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: on Saturday, like what team they end up trotting out, 313 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: but that could be a seriously under manned team heading 314 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: into Syracuse. Syracuse is coming off of a bye. They're 315 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: in the Wagner game, so basically two buys, so they 316 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 2: are fresh as a daisy going up against a team 317 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: that is badly beat up and seriously decimated. So it's 318 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: you're looking at it. You know what was that book 319 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 2: tail of two city sort of a thing? Syracuse is 320 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: in a very very advantageous situation to remain undefeated, which 321 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: which explains everything you need to know about that line. 322 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: If both of these teams were at full strength on 323 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 2: a neutral field, this line might be totally flipped. But 324 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 2: that is not what this scenario is. It's Syracuse at 325 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: home in the situation that we discussed, and the line 326 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: is what it is. 327 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: Well, Thor, I'm excited, I'm scared. I'm probably not gonna 328 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: bet this game because I've already got too much riding 329 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: on it from an emotional standpoint, But oh man, this 330 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: would be a sweet one to see. Now. I hate 331 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: to bring it back up here, but we had to 332 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: talk about TCU because they're gonna be an interesting one 333 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: against Oklahoma State. Here they're laying three and a half 334 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: at home, but Oklahoma State has been good so far 335 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: this season. Where are you going in this one? Are 336 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: you riding with the horn Frogs, or are you thinking 337 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: that Oklahoma State's gonna get them in this spot after 338 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: that big game that they just had. 339 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you wonder in this one is is TCU? Like 340 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 2: when is TCU gonna? Is TCU gonna have a letdown spot? Right? Like? 341 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: Like TCU just keeps the bar keeps raising for them. 342 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: It was a team over the summer that I was 343 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: harping on over and over again that I was extremely 344 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: high on, and they keep even going over my bar. 345 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 2: But again, like is there a letdown spot coming for them? 346 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: Like last week they go into Lawrence, they they on 347 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 2: college game Day, they beat an undefeated team on the road. 348 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 2: You know, now they're coming back home. But like you know, 349 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: you know a lot of times you'd be like, is 350 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: this gonna be a letdown spot after you just went 351 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: in that electric atmosphere? But like you know, I mean, 352 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 2: like they haven't had a letdown spot. Yeah, they've had 353 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: other big wins you know this year and and and 354 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 2: haven't had it yet. And then meanwhile for Olklahoma State, 355 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: I mean they've also been a team that that has 356 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: had several big wins this year and they've just kept 357 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: the momentum going. So so it's it's it's it's another 358 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 2: one of these two teams that have just kept building 359 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: and building and building. Oklahoma State for me, is sort 360 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 2: of the opposite tc For me, Uh, TCU is a 361 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 2: team that I've been higher on than the market throughout 362 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, I've been wrong about the entire time. So 363 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: I've been you know, I'm pumping my own tires about 364 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 2: my TCU. Take. I got to go to the opposite. I've 365 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 2: been wrong about Oklahoma State. Like I thought Oklahoma State 366 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: was was was not going to be. I thought they 367 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: were gonna be way down this year because they had 368 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: lost so many guys on defense, and I and and 369 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: I didn't trust Spencer Petross so last year that they 370 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: were you know, totally led by the foot of their 371 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: their dominant defense, and they had lost Malcolm Rodriguez and 372 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: all these different guys on their defense, and I didn't 373 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 2: I didn't think that spent Petross could do it. And 374 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: Spencer Petross has gotten way better. Like like I'm I'm 375 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: shocked when I watch Spencer Petross this year. He has 376 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: actually become like a solid singular quarterback. And and this 377 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: year that they don't have like Jalen Warren, for instance, 378 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: on offense, like to you know, to give all the 379 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 2: usage to and Spencer Spencer Sanders is doing it. He 380 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: hadn't even had like uh bray like that, like uh 381 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: the receiver been been injured and stuff like that, and 382 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: and and Sanders still doing it. And the defense been 383 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: a little bit better than than I've thought it was 384 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: gonna be. And that's a credit to the coaching staff 385 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: as well. This one is tough for me because my 386 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 2: line is is is pretty close. I actually give the 387 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: the the slight line value to Oklahoma State, at least 388 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: where the line is right now. My line in this 389 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 2: game is TCU minus one point nine. It's it's a 390 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: game that I'm gonna be digging into this week, you know, 391 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: and and and try to gauge short of where both 392 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 2: teams heads. A rat but a very interesting game on 393 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon in the Big twelve. 394 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: Now, a game that I want to talk about next. 395 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: It's not two ranked teams, but certainly two brand names 396 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: here in Florida versus LSU Florida. They're not doing too 397 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: badly here. They lost to Kentucky and Eastern Washington. Not 398 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: Eastern Washington. I'm looking at the wrong game. They lost 399 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: to Kentucky and Tennessee, they beat Eastern Washington, and they're 400 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: coming off the win against Missou this week here and 401 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: going up against LSU and this one. This a couple 402 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: of years ago, you'd be talking about a potential one 403 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: to two matchup right here in this game, they're gay, 404 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: They're laying two and a half points against the Tigers 405 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: in this spot. And is Florida still good despite the 406 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: fact that they're obviously not ranked at this point. They've 407 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: had those two top twenty five losses. They did beat 408 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: Utah in the first week. What's your opinion on this 409 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: Gators team. 410 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: I'm fading Florida. This is one where I'm sitting dead 411 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: red on LSU. I think the line is, well, I'll 412 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 2: just put it this way. My numbers favorite LSU, and 413 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: I think in the marketplace, LSU might be favored right 414 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: now had last week, had the result not been what 415 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: it was with LSU. They ended up getting smoke lash 416 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: last week, and it is what it is. I think 417 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: Tennessee spanked him at home the LSU last forty to thirteen. 418 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: But I still think that LSU is a solid team 419 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: and Florida's result wasn't much more impressive. They barely got 420 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: by Missouri at home. I don't like that Florida team. 421 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: I don't most people watch Anthony Richardson in that opener 422 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: put on the Superman Cape against Utah. He's reverted back 423 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: to you know what he was previously for the you 424 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: know ever since then, basically of just being the super 425 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: duper inconsistent player that has placement issues, decision making issues, 426 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: I mean like pocket awareness issues that the whole gamut. 427 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 2: He certainly you know, still has the ceiling and everything 428 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: like that. He certainly flashes, but like again, you still 429 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: have the vacillation with him. I just don't trust that team. 430 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: I don't And with LSU, I trust them marginally more, 431 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 2: I guess is the way that I would say that 432 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: I like them a bit more and I think that 433 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: they match up better in this game, and so I'm 434 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 2: gonna take LSU in that one, even though that they're 435 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 2: on the road. You know. 436 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of another team that might be a tad overrated, 437 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm just surprised. James Madison is the first season at 438 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: this level and they're already ranked twenty fifth in the nation. 439 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: That seems just a tad insane to me, they're going 440 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: up against Georgia Southern is ten and a half point 441 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 1: road favorites here. Do you think this line is what 442 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: it should be or are people just buying into the 443 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: hype of this team that is, I mean, it's a 444 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: great story, but are they actually good enough to be 445 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: a top twenty five team? 446 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 2: That line's didn't played it. My line on that game 447 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: is James Madison minus seven point two. Georgia Southern's legit, uh, 448 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: which is crazy for me to say in the first 449 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 2: year of of Clay held and they're taking over that 450 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 2: triple option roster, but they can actually play. And and 451 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: speaking to that for a second, they're Chorgia Southern is 452 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 2: throwing the ball even more than Mississippi State is, which 453 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: which is just bizarre. And they're they're they're they're doing 454 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: it just as well. But that's that's a story for 455 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: another time. James Madison is is good. They're really good. 456 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 2: They've they've they played awesome and they've played way better 457 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: than than I than I thought they would. But again, 458 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: like I think the market now is is taking it 459 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: a bit too far. And and I think you know, 460 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: for the sports books, at a certain point you have 461 00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: to start uh uh charging the tax on them because 462 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: the sportsbooks are starting to get nicked on James Madison. 463 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: So you have to you have to start incentivizing people 464 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: to bet on the other side because you've lost money 465 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: in some of the recent weeks on the James Madison 466 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: thing because they're covering every week. So again you have 467 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: to push people to the other side. I mean, this 468 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: happens when you have a team that's covering every single week. 469 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: But I think that's what explains the discrepancy here. But objectively, 470 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 2: you're getting about three points of line value if you 471 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 2: want to bet on Georgia Southern for me, that would 472 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: be the side at be on. 473 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I feel like you're completely spot on there 474 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: with the fact that when you have a team covered 475 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: by this much, the books are going to go, Okay, 476 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: we need to we need to reevaluate a little bit 477 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: and start shading this a little bit the other way because, 478 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: like you said, they want to get money on the 479 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: other side. Here. Now, this next game up, we've got 480 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: Clemson at four now in the rankings, going up against 481 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: Florida State, who of course is fallen out after that 482 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: loss to NC State. Here this number right now is 483 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: going to be four points in favor of the Tigers. 484 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: Florida State. Florida State, can they do it? 485 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 2: Probably? Probably not. My line on this game is is 486 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: Clemson minded six? But at least you give you give 487 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: Florida State the puncher's chance. We'll have to see. On 488 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: Brian bresays uh status Clemson stud defensive lineman. He missed 489 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 2: another game this past Saturday. Uh, he missed the Boston 490 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: College game. He's now missed two straight games with his 491 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 2: his non football medical. Uh. If you he's a big 492 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: deal for them. They Clemson has had the upfront injuries. 493 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 2: I think Xavier Thomas came back for Clemson on on Saturday, 494 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 2: but they Clemson has had the shuttlings in their front 495 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 2: seven that they've had all these different injuries. But that's 496 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 2: something to keep an eye on. Brian Brees is one 497 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: of the he might be the best defensive tackle on America, 498 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 2: but if not, he's one of the three or four best. 499 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: So his injury status is certainly something to keep an 500 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 2: eye on, especially against his Florida State team that runs 501 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: the ball so well. I mean Mike Norve going back 502 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 2: several you know, going back to his Memphis days teams 503 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 2: are you know, one of the best rushing coaches in 504 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: the nation. But speaking to that, the running back for 505 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: them Ward got injured in the last game, So that's 506 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: another status thing that you're going to have to keep 507 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: an eye on in this one. But I think I 508 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: would lean Clemson in this one. Florida State did not 509 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: look very good in their last one against NC State, 510 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: and then we talked about NC State before. NC State 511 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: had suffered all of those injuries in that game. And 512 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: that's an NC State team that looked terrible the week 513 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 2: before against Clemson. They had lost by ten in that game, 514 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 2: but they NC State had scored the garbage touchdown at 515 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: the very end, so really it's more like a seventeen 516 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: point loss and you're like, well, you know that's it 517 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: was to Clemson. But I can bake in the context 518 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: the Clemson was basically playing with their second string defense 519 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 2: in that game because they Clemson had ruled out all 520 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: of these defenders, Like you can go back and look 521 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: at the you know, like who they played in that game. 522 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 2: They'd ruled out all these different starters in that game. 523 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: So so NC State was basically playing against it you know, 524 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: a lot, a lot of these second stringers or whatever. 525 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 2: Not an impressive performance by NC State. And and then 526 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: you know, Florida State then loses to NC State when 527 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 2: NC State was you know, had lost you know, Leary 528 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: and the running back and then the wide receiver two 529 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 2: and with down some of these other guys whatever. I think, 530 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: you know, Clemson, especially if if you know now now 531 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 2: they are they have way, they're way healthier than they 532 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: were back then. I and and now Florida State might 533 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: be without their running back. I like Clemson in that one. 534 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: Now, Kentucky, I mean, we've already talked about a couple 535 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: of them. It's the basketball blue bloods playing football and 536 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: playing it well right now. A couple of weeks ago, 537 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: we were talking about how, oh, look at all these 538 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: teams Duke, UCLA, Kentucky four, and oh Syracuse obviously, but 539 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: no one was giving him any credit. But I'm not 540 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: bitter or anything about that. Now, all of a sudden, 541 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: Kentucky two straight losses here to Ole miss and the 542 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: game Cocks. They go to play Mississippi State now in 543 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: a battle of twenty two versus sixteen to Kentucky still 544 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: even be ranked at twenty second after two straight losses 545 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: like this, and should they be getting six points or 546 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: should they be getting more at home against Mississippi State 547 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: in the spot. 548 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's all of those questions are dependent on is 549 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: we'll leave it as we will leave us healthy or not? 550 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: Right like, cause if we'll leave us, if we'll leave 551 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 2: us plays we can sell Carolina. They beat South Carolina 552 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: and then those are all mute. And then if he 553 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 2: plays again, you know, against Missippi State, it's it's a 554 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: different story. And his status, It's like all all that 555 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: stuff is dependent on that, right, Like if he plays 556 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: in this game, like I'm taking the what is it 557 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: that the six points? But if he doesn't play, I'm 558 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: laying for sure with Mississippi State, Like Mississippi State is 559 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 2: going to beat the heck out of Kentucky if it's 560 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: that kid Sharona or whoever that Kentucky was playing, will 561 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: leave us. The difference between will leave us and the 562 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: backup of Kentucky it's worth double It's legitimately where double 563 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: dated points that the backup of Kentucky stinks. And they 564 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: you know, they were, I mean, like Chris Rodriguez, he 565 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: was doing his best out there, you know, I mean, 566 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: like he ran for against South Carolina ran for like 567 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty yards or one hundred and twenty 568 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 2: five years. He was still grinding it out, but there 569 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: was absolutely no threat of the pass. And South Carolina 570 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: a team that has had terrible trend play on both 571 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 2: sides of the ball, they were They still controlled that 572 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 2: game that like the entire way on the road. And 573 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: Missippi State is a far so period team to South Carolina. 574 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: So I mean again, this game is highly dependent on 575 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: will Leavis's status. That's the thing that people need to monitor. 576 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 2: If you think that will Leaves is not going to 577 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 2: play in this game, you need to bet on miss 578 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: You need to lay the points and take the value 579 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: before that that's announced. But if you think that the 580 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 2: leave is gonna play, absolutely take the points. Well, there's 581 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: still value because when when the news comes out about that, 582 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 2: there's gonna be line movement. So if you get information beforehand, 583 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: take the value now. 584 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: Thor you know what my favorite bet of the week is, 585 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: that's out USC versus Utah. Should Utah win this game, 586 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: I will bet you any amount of money. Then we 587 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: will hear the pundits on TV going on a number 588 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: twenty Utah upsets number seven USC. What a game, blah 589 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: blah blah. They're gonna call it a big upset, but 590 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: it's not because Utah is laying four points against the 591 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: Trojans here. And yeah, the Trojans, they are seventh in 592 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: the nation right now. 593 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: But you look at their. 594 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: Schedule, Rice, Stanford, Fresno State, barely squeak by Oregon State, 595 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: then you had the big win over Arizona State, and 596 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: then of course they go out they beat Washington State 597 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: last week third well yesterday, thirty to fourteen. But now 598 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: they go to play the Utes, and the Utes are 599 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: laying four in this one as the twentieth ranked team 600 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: in the nation. I guarantee you if they win this game, 601 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna be calling an upset when it is not. 602 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: But do you think that the Utes can pull this 603 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: one out? Is this line where it should be? 604 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: I yeah, I mean they certainly can. They're a team 605 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: that the profiles decently well against USC. The way that 606 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: Whittingham has always constituted his defense, it was a direct 607 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: response to spread offenses. And you know, I mean obviously 608 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 2: that's what Lincoln runs. Does that mean that they're going 609 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: to be, you know, not necessarily but like and then 610 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 2: also on offense, they run the the physical doubt hill 611 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: running game and uh, we'll see how how us he's 612 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 2: you know, new Look defense, how it deals with that. 613 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: I would have been concerned if tav On Thomas, the 614 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: Utah running the you know, the the big physical downhill 615 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: running back of Utah, if he wasn't playing in this game. 616 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 2: But even though he was questionable, and even up to kickoff, 617 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: there was these questions, Uh, when they were playing U 618 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 2: C l A on Saturday, is tab On Thomas going 619 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 2: to play? Which I didn't even know that he you know, 620 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 2: he was, he was questionable before that game, but then 621 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 2: he ended up playing, so you know, I guess that 622 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: he's you know, he's fine. So he is going to 623 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 2: pose a problem for for U S defense. Utah is 624 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 2: going to ride him. Uh there, So I mean, does 625 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: Utah absolutely they got a shot. This is it's you know, 626 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: there's the the UFC saying of styles make fights. This 627 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: is a fascinating stylistic fight. You have the the you know, 628 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 2: the the the the the burly brawler type in in 629 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 2: Utah against your more stylish kind of fighter in in 630 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 2: in Usc. This is for me that this is a 631 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 2: handicap I'm gonna get into all week because I don't 632 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 2: I don't think this is one you gotta bet early 633 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 2: in the week right now that there's no value on 634 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: this line at all. My adjusted number on this one 635 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 2: right now is Utah minus four point three line right 636 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: now in the market is Utah minus four. It's it's 637 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 2: right there. So but yeah, it's it's one to dig 638 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 2: in for the week. But yeah, I mean, either of 639 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 2: these two teams could could win, and it's again, uh, 640 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 2: totally opposite strategies, and it's gonna be one of those 641 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: two opposing forces, uh locking horns on Saturday. 642 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: Now, the last game that we want to talk about here, 643 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: the biggest one of the week, well second biggest mind 644 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: syracusancy State. But you know who's counting Alabama against Tennessee. 645 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the balls ranked sixth in a long time, 646 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: my friend, But here we are in this one, and 647 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: Bama did not look great last week, and they dropped 648 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: all the way down to three. They're getting, they're getting, 649 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: They're laying seven and a half points going into Tennessee here. 650 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: I mean it's three versus six. But is Tennessee really 651 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,959 Speaker 1: all that good? Is Tennessee living up to the hype 652 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: here this season? For you? Are they where they should be? 653 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: They've got the wins over Ball State, pitt Akron, Florida, 654 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: and LSU, neither of which are now ranked. I don't know. 655 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: This resume isn't jumping off the page to me? Should 656 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: they be six there? Should they be getting more than 657 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: seven and a half against Bama? 658 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 2: Tennessee's good. Tennessee's good for sure. The the win against LSU, 659 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 2: you know in Baton rouge by was it twenty seven? 660 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 2: That was the one for me? That was like the 661 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 2: way like the alarm bell one of like this team 662 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: is legit. The game against Alabama. You know, we talked 663 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 2: about a couple of games this week where it comes 664 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: down to a player status. This is probably the biggest one. 665 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah Young? 666 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 2: Is Bryce Young gonna play if if this whole game 667 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 2: comes down to that, if Tennessee gets Jalen Milrow, uh, 668 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 2: I might even favorite Tennessee like ol right right, but 669 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 2: if they're playing Bryce Young, this line should be Alabama 670 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 2: by double digits. And and and what I think that 671 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: Vegas has done with this line, It's essentially split the baby, right, 672 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 2: like you know, installing Alabama as seven and a half 673 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 2: point favorites at Tennessee. Right if if if if they 674 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: if Alabama comes out and says Bryce Young playing, I 675 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 2: think you're gonna see this line tick up to Alabama 676 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 2: minus ten and a half or eleven, maybe even a 677 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: little bit above real quick. But if he's ruled out, 678 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 2: it gonna drop real quick. So I mean, like, that's 679 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 2: what I think has happened here is is you're dropping 680 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: it right in the middle until we see Nick Saban 681 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 2: ain't gonna tell anybody. He played some games with Jimbo 682 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 2: last week, which I loved with just chef's kiss. He 683 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: didn't say anything all week, and then game time was 684 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 2: just absolutely fabulous. Didn't say anything. I didn't. I didn't 685 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 2: think there was any chance that that Bryce Young was 686 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 2: gonna play. He has an ac joint sprain of his 687 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: throwing shoulder. Quin Hears has an ac joint sprain of 688 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 2: his non throwing shoulder, and he's out for three weeks. 689 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: So it's like they're no shot to Bryce Young gonna 690 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 2: play the next week. And then they announced Bryce Young 691 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 2: as the starter on the PA system thirty minutes before 692 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 2: at the game, I get in all these text messages 693 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: and I'm like, no way, no way, no way, and 694 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 2: and you know it's crazy. And then of course Milroe 695 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 2: then you know, actually trots out with the starters like 696 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: when you know they take their first snap. Just epic 697 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: trolling by by Nick Saban. But we'll see in this one. 698 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 2: We we don't know, we we we have we have 699 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: absolutely no idea. And ac joint spring is not something 700 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 2: that categorically takes you out. It's a pain threshold injury 701 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 2: that you theoretically can play through, uh through a combination 702 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 2: of again pain tolerance dash uh taking uh one of 703 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 2: them shots, you know, sort of a thing. It's it's 704 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 2: both your biology and then also you know if if 705 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 2: you take something that can mitigate the pain, et cetera, 706 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 2: it's it's we'll see, you know, I mean, he got 707 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: what five more six more days to see. But whether 708 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 2: Bryce Young is playing is going to go a long 709 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 2: way towards towards this handicap and also the result of 710 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 2: the game. But right now, with where that line is, 711 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 2: it is very clear that the sports books are splitting 712 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 2: the baby. You need to monitor Bryce young status. But 713 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,439 Speaker 2: right now, with where that is, this is a very 714 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 2: fair line that has been put out there. 715 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: That play called by Jimbo Fisher at the end of 716 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: the game final plays one of the worst things. They 717 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: didn't even to the episode. 718 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,439 Speaker 2: So dumb. So you have a shot, You have a shot, man, 719 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 2: yet you didn't take it. Yeah, you you actually had 720 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: a shot to win that game. You actually had a shot. 721 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: And yeah. Oh man, yeah, I mean I'm not an 722 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 2: a and M fan. I don't care. 723 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always nice to see Bamba go down. 724 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,720 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, I mean, I don't care either way. 725 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 2: But but it's like, uh, just for the sport of football. 726 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 2: You're like, man, I mean, why aren't you trying to win? Man, Like, 727 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 2: don't you at least put the ball in the end 728 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 2: zone at least give yourself the best shot of it. 729 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 2: Like it's it's just one of those where you're just 730 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 2: like frustrated for fairness. 731 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 1: You know, it was more frustrating than the Thursday Night 732 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: Football Russell Wilson absolutely horrible fourth down play on the 733 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: goal line there.
