There's not a lot if 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 4: you go to the Action app and just filter on 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 4: Top twenty five, it's like every Top twenty five team 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 4: is the thirty point favorite. There are some good games 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 4: We'll get to Friday night as well, which I think 29 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 4: is a really intriguing slate. But first we will start 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 4: with where we always start, and let's look ahead or 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 4: look away? 32 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: Hangovers, sleepers and the dread and sandwich spot. Is it 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: time to look ahead or look away? 34 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: That's where we look at next week and determine if 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 4: there's any good situational spots this week, if a team 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 4: could get caught flat looking ahead, you know, if they 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 4: might pull their starters a little sooner, rest people who 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: are on the fringe of being healthy. And there's not 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 4: that many this week, you know, there's a couple. We'll 40 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 4: start with Iowa and a few people on Twitter actually 41 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: asked me about this game. Iowa twenty three point favorite 42 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 4: against Middle Tennessee State. I get that the spot for 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: Iowa isn't great. I think it's a noon kick. You know, 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: next week they're at Michigan. You know they face a 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: bad Middle Tennessee State team. The problem is I can't 46 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: find enough reasons to back the Blue Raiders here, I'd 47 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: be guessing, Look, if they just want to hand it off, 48 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: they should manhandle, manhandle Middle Tennessee State in the trenches. 49 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: They could just run it right, a really bad, really 50 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 4: poor Middle Tennessee State run defense. I can't get behind. 51 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 4: That's what I'm not going to be on Iowa. But 52 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 4: I can't get behind the Blue Raiders. Do you agree here? 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: No, actually I don't. I am actually on Middle Tennessee State. 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: But it has nothing to do with the Blue Raiders whatsoever. 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: It actually has everything to do with Iowa. Now, you 56 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: have to remember Middle Tennessee State has already played Michigan, 57 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of film that Iowa has already 58 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: looked at that includes Middle Tennessee State going up against 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: our opponent next week in Michigan. And then conversely, like 60 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: after this game, Iowa is going to be exposed on 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: a whole sixty minutes of play on film for Michigan 62 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: to look at after they played Middle Tennessee. So these 63 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: two teams, Iowa and Michigan should be very familiar to 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: each other with a common opponent. It's just the beginning 65 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: of October next week. The reason why I'm playing Middle Tennessee. 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with how great I think Asher 67 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: O'Hara is their quarterback, the fact that he's responsible for 68 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: eighty percent of the Blue Raiders offense and he's accounted 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: for over half of their rushing yards. The reason why 70 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: I'm doing this is because the total is low enough to 71 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: where the side is just way too high. Iowa, if 72 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: you look at them, they're fourth in the nation in 73 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: time of possession. When they have drives, they go for 74 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: a long time. You can make a sandwich, you can 75 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: wash your dishes, you can do all kinds of shit 76 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: because Iowa's drives take forever. They're fourth in the nation 77 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: and time of possession. They are worst, one of the 78 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: worst team in the nation in gains of twenty plus 79 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage. They're not able to have any explosive 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: plays on the ground or through the air. At least 81 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: they haven't proved it yet, and if they haven't in 82 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: their back pocket, I doubt they're gonna show it before 83 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: they play Michigan. So I think there's gonna be a 84 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: lot of long drives in this game. I think Iowa 85 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: is gonna win. I think the twenty four is important. 86 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: So if you have to pay a little bit of 87 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: juice if you want to play this at minus one 88 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: twenty or maybe wait for some game days team to 89 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: get this to twenty four. I just think it's way 90 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: too many points look ahead spot, and this Iowa team's 91 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 2: offense is not explosive. It's gonna be long and drawn 92 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: out in a grind. 93 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would agree with you there. No ohios. 94 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 4: He's impressed me a little bit. And he's a dual 95 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: threat quarterback and do some stuff with his legs that's 96 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 4: given Iowa some problems in the past. But I just 97 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: think the advantage in the trenches here is so enormous 98 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: for Iowa. I want no part despite the spot. The 99 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 4: other one was Utah State. Utah State has lsu one 100 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 4: deck after that big conference win last week, they're laying 101 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 4: twenty four. There's that number again to Colorado State. Can 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 4: you make a case for the Rams Marvin Kinsey star 103 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 4: running back and they're wide receiver who I love, Larren Jackson. 104 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: Both look like they're going to be out. That's enormous 105 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 4: against his Utah State offense that wants to go, go, 106 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 4: go go, one of the fastest teams in the country. 107 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 4: What do you see here? 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: Oh, you're gonna makee me play Colorado State. This number 109 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: is way too high. It should be seventeen. You know. 110 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: Colorado State right now is eighth and total offense in 111 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: the nation. They're averaging five hundred and fifty two yards 112 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: per game. They can sling it, they can get it 113 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: down the field. They I mean, they had an abundance 114 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: of yards last week against one of the opponents we're 115 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: going to talk about here coming up in another game preview. 116 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: But Utah State shouldn't care about this. I haven't been 117 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: impressed with their defense so far, but one of the 118 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: worst defenses of the nation is Colorado State. I think 119 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: either the play in this game is either Colorado State 120 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: with the twenty four you take an over here, because 121 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 2: I just don't see anybody stopping to score, while Utah 122 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: States got overlooked and Utah State only has one gear. 123 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: I think we've already tried to fade them once this year. 124 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: And Jordan Love kind of dissen. 125 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right. The last spot I have circled here 126 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 4: is Michigan State fourteen point favorites. You know, then they 127 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 4: can come out a little sleepy on offense, but they're 128 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 4: fourteen point favorites this week against Indiana. Next week, Michigan 129 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: State will take on Ohio State. They're at Ohio State 130 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: in one of the best games of the weekend next weekend. 131 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 4: Does Michigan State get caught looking ahead here? Are they 132 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 4: a little flat? Can you make a case for the Hoosiers? 133 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? I can't see myself playing Indiana here. The number 134 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: is too high. I think it should be nine and 135 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: a half of Michigan state projected total of fifty three. 136 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 2: Indiana just doesn't inspire any confidence of being able to 137 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: hold onto anything after they played Ohio State when you 138 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: know games can get away from them. I just they 139 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: don't have the defense to keep this within the number. 140 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: At the same time, I don't want to play Michigan 141 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 2: State if they have any kind of overlook and with 142 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: so many injuries on the offensive line, it's just, you know, 143 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: players are getting moved to different positions. It's just not 144 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: a strong bed on. You know, the numbers too high 145 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: for Michigan State, and I don't trust the Indiana defense 146 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: to keep this within range. 147 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: I hope you're enjoying this great Action Network podcast.

He 175 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 4: does know Buchelle. He was at Texas when Buchelle was 176 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 4: there in twenty sixteen. I don't know if I can 177 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: get behind this USF team, but it's a great by 178 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: low cell high spot for SMU and USF who's just 179 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 4: been dreadful. 180 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 2: Yes, so let me go ahead and comment on Georgia 181 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: Tech Temple because I did take Temple minus nine out 182 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 2: of the gate. You know, this is a highly emotional 183 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: spot for the Temple players as they get to take 184 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: on Jeff Collins as he returns up to Philadelphia. Sort 185 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: of a flat spot for Temple. And plus there's been 186 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: a lot of talk about how you know Temple's going 187 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: to go ground, Temple's going to go rush in this game. 188 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: They have been able to get the ball down deep 189 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: and it's been in long passing situations and passing downs. 190 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech is horrible. Neither of these teams are having 191 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: success moving the ball. On offense, the Temple defensive line 192 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: is still tops and stuffer and power success rate, which 193 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: is why we took them against Maryland straight up. But 194 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: against Georgia Tech, they're going to be able to shut 195 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: down Georgia Tech and their running game, which is all 196 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: they have because they don't want to pass whatsoever. So 197 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: I like this number completely, you know, under the total, 198 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: and because I like it under the total more and more, 199 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: and I read into the Monday presss and I see 200 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 2: that it's going to be a ground game. I wanted 201 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: to get off the side because nine is a lot 202 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: of points to try to cover when you have two 203 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: teams that are just going to try to run down 204 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: each other's throat. I more favored the under in that game. 205 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: As far as SMU and South Florida stick. I know 206 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: you and I did some research a couple of years 207 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 2: ago about how we talked about what is the effect 208 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: of a team on back to back road travel going 209 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 2: in to face a team off of a bye. When 210 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: you look at some of these offensive systems that are 211 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: out there in college football today, they need to stay 212 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: in sync. They need to stay in rhythm, and when 213 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: you take more than ten days off, that can get 214 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: you out of rhythm. And that's why I did a 215 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: little bet Labs research to and we've got three of 216 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: these spots this week. We've got SMU going against South Florida, 217 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: ULL going against Georgia, Southern UCLA going against Arizona. All 218 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: three of these back to back road teams had straight 219 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: up wins last week. All of them were going up 220 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: to face call its opponents that are off of a 221 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: buy in this scenario. If you look at bet Labs, 222 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: they were twenty and thirty four against a spread for 223 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: the home team, which means these teams that are coming 224 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: in on back to back road travel have the advantage, 225 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 2: probably because they're being in sync. So South Florida had 226 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 2: some success, but I mean it's against a bad FCS team, 227 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: So we'll see how it goes here against SMU, who 228 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: is just on fire. I mean, Sunny Dikes is just 229 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: on fire here with this team, and it's because of 230 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 2: what we mentioned on the podcast the other day, which 231 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: is the Seeker. So the Seeker is this robot that 232 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: SMU has where it can accurately throw, like to the 233 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: millimeter a pass. So if you'd like type in go 234 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: route or post route or anything, it'll throw a pass. 235 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: This machine will throw a pass exactly to where you 236 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: program it. So if you want a seventy yard curl, 237 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: if you want a stop route, anything that you want 238 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: a fly pattern, this thing can throw it. So what 239 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: they've done is is it's really it's not taxing the arms, 240 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 2: but it's getting tons of reps for the wide receivers 241 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 2: at any distance, at any range. They bought this multimillion 242 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: dollar machine that I think only three colleges in college 243 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: football have, and it's shown in SMU's what they've done 244 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: so far this year. But what they've done as far 245 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: as like completion percentage yards after catch, SMU has been amazing, 246 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: and I think it's because of this robot. So the 247 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: Seeker has been a big deal. I'm not There's no 248 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: way I could take South Florida here. I don't trust 249 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: Charlie Strong. Kirwin Bell hasn't got it figured out. It 250 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: is a sweet spot, though, So I'm not looking to 251 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: write SMU and take the points here because it is 252 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 2: a really bad spot for SMU, especially after wearing those 253 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: beautiful uniforms with Dallas and Cursive on it and beating TCU. 254 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: It is definitely a flat spot for SMU. But I mean, 255 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: we love the Mustangs to play for the rest of 256 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: the year. 257 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 4: You can credit the machine, but let's give credit to 258 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 4: Proche and Roverson and Jones and Buchelle. I mean, the 259 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: offense is electric. The defense. Coming into the year, we 260 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: said it is underrated. This team is legit. The spot 261 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 4: says South Florida, but I just don't know if I 262 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: see enough out of the bulls now to skip ahead 263 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 4: to the Sun Belt. You mentioned another one of these 264 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: games that fits the spot, Louisiana Lafette. Georgia Southern Louisiana 265 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 4: Lafaette is a covering machine, one of my favorite teams. 266 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: Finally got me off this snide last week with our 267 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: money line parlay. But this is an interesting matchup in 268 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 4: that if you look at Georgia Southern, who, by the way, 269 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: keep your eye on the injury report Shay Wurtz, their quarterback, 270 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 4: and their triple option offense is questionable. Whenever you run 271 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 4: a triple option OFFENSEI line is going to be important. 272 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 4: They lost two All conference offensive linemen last year and 273 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 4: then this year they've had two injuries to starter, so 274 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 4: their offensive line has been a disaster a disaster. Same 275 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: with Florida Atlantic. I'm sure I'll ask you about the game. 276 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: Their offense line has been a disaster. But Georgia Southern's 277 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 4: offensive line two, they have two starters that think we're questionable. 278 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: This week has been so bad. And Louisiana their defensive 279 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: line has been so bad. I think there are one 280 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: hundred and thirtieth and stuff right in U Mass by 281 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: the ways, one hundred and twenty nine. Someone is worse 282 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 4: than you mess and something. So you would think on 283 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: the surface, you know this option going against Louisiana. But 284 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: if I think it depends on words and this this 285 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 4: offensive line has just been a mess. I don't know 286 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 4: if I want to get in front of this electric 287 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 4: Louisiana rush offense, which is I think second the Nation 288 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 4: of the Arts were carried behind on the Oklahoma As 289 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 4: I'm talking, I just got a learn on the action 290 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 4: that the line came down from three to from three 291 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 4: and a half to three. Do you see anything in 292 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 4: that Louisiana game that you're gonna be involved in? 293 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm staring at the screen. It could mean Worts 294 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: is playing, But I mean still, Georgia Southern has looked 295 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: really bad this year. They're you know, they're one hundred 296 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: and twenty ninth in total offense two hundred and fifty 297 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: one yards per game, and they are predominantly triple you know, 298 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: triple option rush offense, but still rushing yards per attempt 299 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: fifty third in the nation. They're just not They're not 300 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: getting it done. Their defense has been even worse. They're 301 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirtieth and total first downs. That's not 302 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: good for a triple option team, especially one that's trying 303 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: to just you know, their whole entire mission objective is 304 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: to get first downs. They're they're worse in the nation. 305 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: Their third down conversion percentage has been one hundred and 306 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: twenty eighth so far. There's just nothing about this Georgia 307 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: Southern team that inspires me to get behind them and 308 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: and and put a bet here in the spot, even 309 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: though it is the spot. The one thing this whole 310 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: double road travel going into a team off of a buy. 311 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: Specifically in terms of the MAC and the Sun Belt, 312 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: it was thirty one and seventy three against the spread 313 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: for home teams. For some reason, in the MAC and 314 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: in the Sun Belt, these teams that are on double 315 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: road travel against by teams have been highly profitable. So 316 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: there's no way I'm back in Georgia Southern in the spot, 317 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: I actually think Ull should be. I have them marked 318 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: as favored by three, So that's where the line is. 319 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: I think they're the play. I'm not looking to run 320 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: out and be with the public and where all the 321 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: action is. But in the Sun Belt, I think it's 322 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: it's justified. 323 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 4: Fair enough, right and intelligible. What they should do with Houston? 324 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 4: With King now out and they're you know, their righting 325 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 4: receiver now out? What should we do with Houston? North Texas? 326 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 4: North Texas now seven and a half point favorite over 327 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 4: under fifty nine. 328 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: Is Deer King gonna play? Is he staying? Oh, he's staying, 329 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: But is he playing? No, he's not playing, but he's 330 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: not going to the transfer portal. And when the totals 331 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: came out, I immediately had this one marked. It came 332 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: out I think at sixty two. I had this at 333 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: fifty six and a half. And we know Houston's offense 334 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: is a lot slower than last year. Houston overall in 335 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: the season has been an under team. Saw the news 336 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: come in about Derek King, and then I just hit 337 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: it as many times as I could at sixty two, 338 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: sixty to a half Finally it stopped at fifty eight 339 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: and a half and now it's settled at fifty nine. 340 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: Clayton tune fifty percent completion rate last year, twelve percent 341 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: sack rate. That is absolutely terrible, and he's not a 342 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: mobile quarterback. As far as the total goes, last year, 343 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: North Texas was eighty second and adjusted pace. North Texas 344 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: is a highly successful offense, but they're not an explosive offense. 345 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: They'll throw for eleven yards and then they'll run out 346 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: the clock. They're not the kind of team that does 347 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: no huddle. They will run the timeout on the clock 348 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: before they take a snap. So North Texas is not 349 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: the fastest team in the nation. 350 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 4: Contrary, this is in North Texas of last year and 351 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 4: they lost their you know, one of the best receivers 352 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 4: in the conference. 353 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: There's probably going to be a comeback. Is if this 354 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: gets down to fifty six. It's only me trying to 355 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: hedge a little bit off of the three year to 356 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: window that I have on the numbers over sixty. 357 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 4: Houston played. They were playing really slow under Dana, but 358 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 4: their first four they had four games in nineteen days. 359 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 4: And he said it in an interview, he said, look, 360 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: defense is getting tired. I have to worry about my defense. 361 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: I can't go too fast. And he even said in 362 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 4: one game, I think it was against Tulane, Yeah, we 363 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: started to go fest with my defense was gassed. Well, 364 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 4: now you know they played last Thursday, They've had ten 365 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 4: days and now that I think they'll have a bye 366 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 4: after this. So maybe Dana then comes out and it's 367 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: old Dana and he's trying to push push, push, but 368 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 4: without King, you know, without their you know, their senior 369 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: wide out who also is sitting like it makes it 370 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 4: tough to cap. But this North Texas and Houston team 371 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 4: from what we've seen, you know, and they have key 372 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 4: players out on the outside. This isn't you know last 373 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 4: year's North Texas and Houston teams. 374 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, And uh, you know, I think it's going 375 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: to be a much slower pace. It's gonna be a different, 376 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: a different looking game. I just wonder what the thinking 377 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: is behind Dana, like now with Dear King, like that conversation, 378 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 2: Like everybody just assumes a Dear King he's gonna go 379 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: play for Oklahoma and they canna start giving the Heisman 380 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: trophies to to Lincoln Riley every year. But you know, 381 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: it's like Dana said the other day in a press conference. 382 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: He said, listen, he's he's a Houston Cougar until I 383 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: see his name in the in the transfer portal. So 384 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: you have to wonder, is Dana Holderson is he chalking 385 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: this year up and is he going to create an 386 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: offense that's conducive to what Derek King wants for the 387 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: rest of the season. The dynamic there is just fascinating. 388 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: Yep, all right, before we move off to the AA 389 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 4: see really good question because we got asked on Twitter 390 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 4: ECU your boys against ODU coming off that deflating, you know, 391 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 4: attempted upset against Virginia Of note here you starting running 392 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 4: back Darius Pinnix is out and then his backup Hussaining 393 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: Howe decided to transfer. So that's notable anything in ECU ODU, 394 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 4: which is not the toilet Bowl because we have akron UMass. 395 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 2: So Old Dominion last year beat Virginia Tech as a 396 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: twenty eight and a half point dog, and then that 397 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: following week they played East Carolina. East Carolina beat them 398 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: by two. So East Carolina was able to capitalize on 399 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 2: a down spot on Old Dominion. I think they kind 400 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 2: of do the same thing here. I don't think it's 401 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: going to be a blowout by any means, but I 402 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 2: definitely like East Carolina to finally get something going here. 403 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 2: I mean, they've only covered one of their last six games. 404 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 2: It's time for the East Carolina that I was predicting 405 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: back in July to finally show up in a game. 406 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: But this is a good spot to get old dominion. 407 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 4: I believe they were a three point favorite and I lost. 408 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 4: I faded. OD you there. I'm getting flashbacks here, all right, 409 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 4: So let's move on from a and move on to 410 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: the ACC. First question I have to ask you with 411 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: the ACC is about Clemson North Carolina. North Carolina has 412 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 4: become so predictable in the fact that they get down 413 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: in the first half and all of a sudden their 414 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 4: world beaters in the fourth quarter. What we've also learned 415 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 4: about Clemson and your now maybe trash Heisman ticket on 416 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence is they're just taking him out as soon 417 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 4: as they get a big lead. It could be in 418 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 4: the second quarter. So does this not set up for 419 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: a perfect storm of a North Carolina second half bet? Again, 420 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 4: just like app State last week, Clemson builds a big lead, 421 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 4: they pull all their starters and then here comes, you know, 422 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 4: your fourth quarter heels. Are we going back to the well. 423 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: Listen for somebody that's been gambling for a really long time, 424 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: a really long time, and you have too. Let's just 425 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 2: put a little word of advice out to people like 426 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: Jesse Palmer and Joey Galloway. Don't ever say easy money. 427 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: Don't ever say easy money, and don't have graphics of 428 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: dollar bills floating over your face because things are not 429 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: easy money. Now that said, how is there any other 430 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: way to play this game besides Clemson first half? In 431 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: North Carolin light his second half. I mean, I project 432 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 2: this game at twenty six with a total of sixty two. 433 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: So the numbers are spot on as far as the 434 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 2: full game goes. But Clemson is not allowed a touchdown 435 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: in the first half of play so far, They've only 436 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 2: allowed one rush to go over twenty yards. They haven't 437 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: allowed a TV in the first half. Yet you and 438 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: c is beating opponents ninety to twelve in the fourth quarter. 439 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: Sam Howell does not play until the fourth quarter. He's 440 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 2: covered all the second halves. Clemson has covered all the 441 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: first halves. It seems I don't want to say easy money. 442 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: It seems like that's the path of the betting should go. 443 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: First half is fourteen and a half. I did lay 444 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: some money on Clemson. Mind is fourteen and a half. 445 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: I hope to see the Sweeney kid, the herb Street kids, 446 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: the Venables kid. I hope to see all their jerseys 447 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: on the field by the time the end of the 448 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: second quarter comes and Trevor Lawrence and t Higgins and 449 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: Justin Ross and everybody's taking his seat. But that seems 450 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: like the path to go here is Clemson in the 451 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 2: first half. You would see in the second half, So 452 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: set your timers for about five o'clock's Eastern time. That 453 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: should be about half time. But it comes in North 454 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 2: Carolina game, it'll be time to back up on Sam 455 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: Howe again and get us a second half cover. 456 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 4: Yeah but yeah, never say locks either. There's no locks. 457 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 4: Besides fading UMass, that's a lock. But maybe not this week. 458 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 4: All right, So before we get out of the aec 459 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 4: of note, Wake Forest Boston College. This is not your 460 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 4: older brother's Wake Forest Boston College game. You remember the 461 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 4: game that ended zero zero vot Tech Wake. Now, there's 462 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: not gonna be any zero zero these are two of 463 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: the fastest teams in the country. Over under sixty nine, 464 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 4: I think it's over or nothing there. And then, obviously, 465 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 4: before we get out of the AEC, let's talk about 466 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 4: one of the marquee games of the weekend. Virginia Notre 467 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: Dame twelve and a half point favorite. 468 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just say I agree with you on the 469 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: wake Forest BC over. I know that the Action Network 470 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 2: projection makes it sixty three, but that doesn't take into 471 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: account that neither of these teams, I think can have 472 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 2: an answer at the cornerback position to stop the other 473 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 2: from going. And everybody knows that Dazio wants to go 474 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 2: as fast as possible as far as Virginia and Notre 475 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: Dame goes. Both of these teams are top twenty five 476 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: and Havoc I project this game at eight and a 477 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: half and fifty one, so you would think that there'd 478 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: be a play on Virginia. But I went back into 479 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 2: Notre Dame's history to see how do they respond in 480 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: games after their previous national showcase game was a loss, 481 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: they got beat in a big primetime game or something 482 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: that had implications of the college football playoff, like in 483 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, they lost to Georgia. The next week they 484 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: beat Boston College by twenty nine. In twenty sixteen, the 485 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: Notre Dame lost to Texas. They've beaten Nevada by twenty nine. 486 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: The next week, was it aqs last year too? Yeah, 487 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: qu's last year? And twenty fifteen Clemson. They beat Navy 488 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: the next week by seventeen. Notre Dame has always bounced back. 489 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 2: They've not had an emotional letdown or a hangover. That 490 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: speaks to coaching. How well Brian Kelly, How great of 491 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 2: a coach Brian Kelly is. I think they're going to 492 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: show up here. I don't think this is any kind 493 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: of hangover spot whatsoever. You know, Virginia had no cares 494 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: for Old Dominion when they down seventeen, they'd score twenty 495 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 2: eight straight. Notre Dame has already seen a dual threat 496 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 2: quarterback in Juwan Pass. He was limited just three runs 497 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: that got over ten yards. I don't know if it's 498 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: Kirby's play calling or if it's Notre Dame's defense, but 499 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: Georgia's explosiveness and success rate was down in the box score. 500 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 2: I think their success rate was about even, and the 501 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 2: expl they did have any explosiveness whatsoever through the air 502 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: or on the ground. I think that the best way 503 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: that ian Book. You know, Notre Dame is eleventh in 504 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 2: the country right now with passes over twenty plus yards. 505 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: May be a little bit surprising to people, but ian 506 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 2: Book is hitting receivers down the field. Virginia defense has 507 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 2: been giving up the big play this season. They have 508 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 2: allowed plenty of plays to go over twenty plus yards. 509 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: From scrimmage. They are very boom or bust defense. Either 510 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 2: they're in your backfield creating havoc all day, or you 511 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 2: can get them down the field. So I think Notre 512 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: Dame's gonna I think the game plan is going to 513 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: be up tempo. I think they're gonna go deep, and 514 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: I think once they get a lead, this could turn 515 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: into a shootout. I think I think it's going to fast, 516 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 2: make everything go a little bit faster. The weather is 517 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: tailed off. I was a little worried about the weather. 518 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: That's why the number came down. I think to forty 519 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 2: eight is because of the weather. But now the forecast 520 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: is it's only about twenty percent in the second half 521 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 2: of this game of precipitation. So I mean, if there 522 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: was going to be weather in this game, then I 523 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: would think there would be, you know, field conditions that 524 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: would not help you in book get the ball down 525 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: the field. But if this forecast completely clears up, I 526 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: think over forty eight is the play. 527 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think it's worth noting that Bryce Perkins 528 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: isn't fully healthy. He has that brace on his knee, 529 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 4: and he's just not as explosive, and I think that's 530 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 4: a huge part of this week. I think Notre Dame 531 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 4: covers this number. I was really impressed with their defense. 532 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 4: Virginia hasn't been running it well this year, and a 533 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 4: lot of that has to do with Perkins, I think, 534 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: so I think Notre Dame covers this number. All right, 535 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 4: let's move on to the big ten. We talked about Iowa, 536 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 4: Middle Tennessee State, by the way, Michigan. You know you're 537 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 4: gonna have a lot of people betting them on a 538 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 4: bounce back against Rutgers. And I can't look at Rutgers 539 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: because Sitkowski just got the start and Sitkowski was probably 540 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 4: the worst quarterback in the country last year. He's going 541 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 4: for Rutgers. You can't bet this game, right Sitkowski? 542 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 2: No, No, This is two of the worst teams of 543 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 2: the nation and Havoc also, So it's not like Michigan 544 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: can take the ball away from Rutgers. They may be 545 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: able to stop them on a third down, but they 546 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: haven't proven they can do that either. So it's really 547 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 2: interesting to see if Michigan responds. If they don't respond 548 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: and they don't cover this number, then they've given up. 549 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: They've given up. 550 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree. I think it's a measuring stick 551 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 4: for the care level of the Michigan program and whether 552 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 4: or not Harball has lost the locker room. The only 553 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 4: other game I wanted to cover in the Big Ten 554 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 4: is Minnesota Perdue. Minnesota Open is a small dog flipped 555 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 4: to one and a half point favorite. The more I 556 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 4: look at this Purdue team, the more it's a complete 557 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 4: dumpster fire. What is there to like? You know, obviously 558 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 4: Sindelar may or may not go, he's questionable, but there 559 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 4: is so you know, you have an explosive passing attack 560 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 4: with one of the best receivers in the country. That's 561 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 4: about it. I mean, not all of it's their fault. 562 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 4: Marcus Bailey and Lorenzo O'Neill are out on their defense, 563 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 4: which really just ruined their defense. Their offensive line is 564 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: so bad. They have no rushing game to speak of, none, 565 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 4: zero zip. So the more I look at this game, 566 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 4: I think Minnesota, who I have big ten futures on 567 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 4: in a win total over and I've been extremely lucky 568 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 4: because the other side of me says Minnesota could have 569 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 4: lost every game they've played in you know, they've just 570 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 4: found a way. But I mean, this Purdue team is 571 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 4: just it's there's nothing much to like about it. 572 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: Now, hold on, let me correct you. You said Purdue 573 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: has no rushing game whatsoever. They're one hundred and twenty 574 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: ninth and rushing yards per attempt at two point zero 575 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: eight worse than them Akron one hundred and thirtieth. This 576 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 2: acron UMass game is one for the ages. 577 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 4: No, Minnesota's not much better, by the way, they haven't 578 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 4: been running it well. 579 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, two point six to one, one hundred and twenty 580 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: fourth in the nation. So Minnesota and Purdue is down 581 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: chumming with the umasses and the acrons of the world. 582 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: As far as the rushing game goes, Minnesota has been 583 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 2: extremely lucky. They're one hundred and fifth and yards per 584 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: play on offense. There's nothing for me that I like 585 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: this team whatsoever. They're one hundred and twenty second in 586 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: sacks given up. It's easy to get to their quarterback. 587 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 2: It's hard to bet this game completely similar the health 588 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: the concussion protocol. Have been waiting on word for that 589 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 2: to see how I'm going to bet this game. But 590 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: even then, I mean, what is that worth two points 591 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 2: to the spread. It should come back down, So it's 592 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: tough one to play. 593 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 4: I'm really looking at Minnesota or keep an eye out 594 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 4: in the app. All right, let's move out of the 595 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 4: Big Ten and touch on the Conference USA. The only 596 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 4: game I really wanted to talk about here is FAU. 597 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 4: Charlotte mentioned FAU. Their offensive line has been a disaster 598 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 4: as well. You love Charlotte one point favorite here? They 599 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 4: open is a one and a half point dog. Are 600 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 4: we going back to Charlotte here? 601 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: I do love Charlotte, I have all year. But the 602 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: problem is is they're not playing any defense whatsoever. Their 603 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: rush defense is atrocious. It's not something that you can 604 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: count on FAU to this point. You know, their total 605 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 2: offenses is something that's you know, outstanding at all. They're 606 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: averaging three hundred and eighty six yards per game. That's good. 607 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 2: For eighty fifth in the nation. You know Charlotte their defense, 608 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 2: you know, opponent rush yards per attempt five point four, 609 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 2: that's one hundred and seventeen. You know, they're outside the 610 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: top one hundred and rushing tds allowed per game. So 611 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 2: if any team has a pulse on the ground, they're 612 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 2: gonna be able to keep up with Charlotte. Now, Charlotte, 613 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: I think score with anybody on the group of five level. 614 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: The defense just scares me here. I mean, Charlotte should 615 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: be a bigger favorite. I have this game projected at 616 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: Charlotte minus one, so I don't think the point spread 617 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: is off by any means. But this is a whole 618 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: thing here where you know, Florida Atlantic I think is 619 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: scored on every single red zone attempt I think so 620 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 2: far this year. So if there's any kind of trip 621 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: up for Charlotte whatsoever, like on the offense side of 622 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: the ball or a turnover, which I think they've been 623 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 2: negative in turnovers every single game this year for Charlotte, 624 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 2: that the thing where I don't trust their defense. I 625 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 2: don't trust them on third downs on the defensive side 626 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: of the ball. They can't stop anybody that can run. 627 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 2: So look for overs in this game, and then they 628 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: have a lot of bad teams and conference play coming up, 629 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: the UTEPS and the and the utsays of the world 630 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: coming up. That's going to be the play on spot. 631 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: But Fau does have a little bit of a pulse 632 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 2: as far as rushing the ball. So that's why I'm 633 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 2: going to probably pass on this game. 634 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 4: I don't know, I'm looking forartt If you look at 635 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 4: Fau's as the last terrible, I trust Benny LeMay much more. 636 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 4: I think this is a play on Charlotte and a 637 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 4: fade on Lane. 638 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: The one of the reasons why I had hesitation on 639 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: this game is because I've seen Charlotte thirty to one 640 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: to win the conference. If you take a look at 641 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: Charlotte like for the rest of the season, and they're 642 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: in their schedule Florida International off of a bye week, 643 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: Western Kentucky on the road, not tough. They get North 644 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: Texas at home. I think that's their toughest game. Middle 645 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: Tennessee comes to town. Then they go to UTEP and 646 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: they finish with Marshall and Old Dominion. They could make 647 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: it to the conference championship game and they're thirty to one. 648 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: So I think that's something that I would rather act 649 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: on because if I think they're gonna beat Florida Atlantic, 650 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 2: that means that I think they could be most of 651 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: the teams in the conference. So I think that thirty 652 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: to one on them to win that conference does have 653 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: some value. Actually tried to send a runner to Circa 654 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 2: to hit it last week. It was forty to one. 655 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 2: We didn't get there in time, So I think that's 656 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. It'll be my to do the 657 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 2: next twenty four hours to get some Charlotte money down 658 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: on a future rather than play against Florida Atlantic. 659 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 4: You're given Lane inn fau Way too much credit here. 660 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 4: All right, let's move on to some maction. And I 661 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 4: love the MAC card this week, which is probably a 662 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: terrible sign. I'll start at noon with NIU and Vanderbilt. 663 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 4: I think this is a get out your frustrations game 664 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 4: for Vandy. And look if you look at who they played, 665 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 4: they played Perdue at Purdue and lost by eighteen, and 666 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 4: then they played Georgia and LSU, two top five teams, 667 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 4: so the schedule has done them no favors. I think 668 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 4: you're buying low on them here and against the Northern 669 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 4: Illinois team who also can't run the ball, and they've 670 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 4: lost now two of their starting linebackers, which is huge. 671 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 4: I was supposed to be a strength of their team. 672 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 4: Now it's a weakness showed up against Nebraska. I think 673 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 4: it'll continue to show up, and I think Vaughn can 674 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 4: have a big day. I think Vandy gets right here. 675 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 4: I'm thinking a lay in the six and a half 676 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 4: other games. I'm looking at Buffalo Miamas Ohio. This game 677 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 4: should be ugly. Look at the under here, under forty 678 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 4: seven and a half. These teams all they can do 679 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 4: is run it. They can't neither can throw it. There're 680 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 4: two of the heaviest non option rush offenses in the country. 681 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 4: You know, you could say, hey, look, Buffalo just beat 682 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 4: Temple thirty eight to twenty two. We'll take a look 683 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 4: at the box score. Buffalo averaged three point seven yards 684 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 4: per carry, that two hundred and sixty yards and scored 685 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 4: thirty eight points. Temple just turned it over all day A. 686 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 4: Buffalo only scored seventeen against Liberty, you know, thirteen against 687 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 4: Penn State and Mimama Ohio's offense is just a mess. 688 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 4: Mimica Hia was also really banged up from that Ohio 689 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 4: State game. I think you just see two rush heavy offenses, 690 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 4: inefficient passing attacks. The totals come down from fifty three 691 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 4: to forty seven and a half. I still like the 692 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 4: under forty seven and a half. So I'm looking at 693 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: NIU and the under in Buffalo Mina, Ohio. You see 694 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 4: anything in either of those two games. 695 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. The point spread for the Vandy one, I think 696 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: is too high. I think I've got that projected Vanderbilt 697 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: minus two and a half. So and I was actually 698 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: impressed with their offense or the ability at least to 699 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 2: get up over thirty points against LSU. LSU is kind 700 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: of be kind of under the microscope now after Vanderbilt 701 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: puts up that many points. So, but you know, I 702 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: think that I think that spread is a little bit 703 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: too high, and anything at seven I might have to 704 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: start considering Northern Illinois. 705 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 4: Don't do it. I'm telling you that's probably my favorite spot. 706 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 4: It's just a bi low spot against the MAC team. 707 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 4: And I mean, look, maybe I'm giving Vandy too much 708 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 4: credit here, but I think they can actually take something 709 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 4: out of that game against LSU. You know, when they 710 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 4: scored almost forty points all right, so the other other 711 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 4: games in the MAC I wanted to mention, Well, first 712 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 4: you have to lie to us. It's time for you 713 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 4: to lie to us. A lot of me. Take a 714 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 4: stand right now, one hand up in the air. Are 715 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 4: you going to bet Akron UMass? Now that Akron is 716 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 4: a seven and a half point favorite. It's awful tempting. 717 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 4: These are the two worst teams in the country by 718 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: our power ratings one hundred and twenty nine or one 719 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 4: hundred and thirty, and you can get one hundred and 720 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 4: thirty catching seven and a half at home. It's tempting. 721 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 4: I will say it again. UMass is the new Yukon. 722 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 4: Don't do it. They're just going to find a way 723 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 4: to not cover. But it is tempting. Are you going 724 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 4: to bet it's so which side? 725 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. I'm not going to bet this game. I 726 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: think what people don't realize is UMass only has fifty 727 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 2: six scholarship players. They could have eighty five. They already 728 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: lost their starting center to injury, and this week they 729 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: kicked off one of their four year starters on the 730 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 2: offensive line for violation of team rules. There's absolutely no 731 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: way in hell I would ever back U Mass I 732 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: don't care what the number is, and looking at accurate stats, 733 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: there's no way I would ever trust them to lay 734 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 2: a point against any team, most FCS teams. So no, 735 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: I will not bet this game. 736 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 4: I can't wait till it comes across in the app 737 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 4: and Twitter explodes. All right, here's a game we're going 738 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 4: to disagree on. And I haven't talked to you about 739 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 4: this game, but looking at your projection, you make BYU 740 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 4: your favorite team, I think you're gonna bet them every 741 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 4: week a nine point you know, right around nine to 742 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 4: ten point favorite in this game against Toledo is uh No, 743 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 4: bo is only laying two and a half. Now it 744 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 4: opened up high. I think there was a service that 745 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 4: released Toledo and it came down. I actually like Toledo here, 746 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 4: and I've loved what I've seen from the rushing attack 747 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 4: in Kobac. He went in bonkers against Colorado State last week. 748 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: But this is really a fade of BYU, and it 749 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 4: goes back to what I said last week. BYU, you 750 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 4: know they could they have an argument in the Vanderbilt 751 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 4: category of hardest schedule. They started with Utah, then at Tennessee, 752 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 4: then USC and then Washington. That included in their two 753 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 4: and two that includes two overtime games. They're playing again, 754 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 4: you know, fifth time, basically in September. They're going to Toledo. 755 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 4: From what I saw last week, I was able to 756 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 4: catch some of the game, they look exhausted. This team 757 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 4: needs a buy, which they get next week. But I 758 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 4: cannot see. You know, BYU should get theirs against Toledo's defense, 759 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 4: But I think BYU is going to wear down in 760 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 4: this game. They're I mean, just going to Toledo for 761 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 4: a noon kick. I think this is just a nightmare spot. 762 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 4: I'll be on the rock. It's I'm hoping to get three. 763 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 4: You gotta like BYU because you're a line. Are you 764 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 4: staying away now? 765 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: I'm staying away from this game. I mean I make 766 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 2: the game nine, so I should be playing on BYU. 767 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: You know, Toledo is just atrocious. I mean, for as 768 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: much as we talk about what they did against Colorado State, 769 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: they gave up six hundred and ninety four yards to 770 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: Colorado State. So Toledo's defense is horrid. Their defensive line 771 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: is eightieth in line yards, they're one hundred and eighth 772 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 2: and an opportunity rate one hundred and seventeenth and sack right, 773 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 2: But you're right, BYU should be completely exhausted. It's got 774 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: to be on the kids' minds that they have a 775 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 2: buy coming up after this. They can get some rest, 776 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 2: get back on track, you know. BYU is tough to 777 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 2: back them, even though my power rating is way over 778 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 2: what the number is. 779 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 4: All right, moving on to the Mountain West. We won't 780 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 4: spend too much time here. We obviously have to bring 781 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 4: up Liberty. Liberty is a seven point favorite at home 782 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 4: against New Mexico, and then the other game, I wanted 783 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 4: to bring up the fraudulent pokes of Wyoming. They're laying 784 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 4: nine against UNLV. I'm really tempted to bet YOUNLB as 785 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 4: a dog here against Wyoming. One of the funniest things 786 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 4: you'll see if you go and look at you know, 787 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 4: complete percentage, you know, and just filter it by team, 788 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 4: you'll start laughing at what Wyoming is. Wyoming is way 789 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 4: at the bottom. Thirty five point nine percent is their 790 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 4: completion percentage. Next is Army, but Wyoming can't complete a pass. 791 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 4: So I'm really tempted. And by the way, if you 792 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 4: just go up a little more, there's Buffalo and then 793 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 4: there's mind Hio. That's why I really love that under 794 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 4: are we betting either Liberty or are we fading wyoming 795 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 4: any few on either of those two games. 796 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 2: I think Liberty is the one that we have to bet. 797 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 2: I haven't put it in yet because I definitely don't 798 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 2: want to bet the seven and a half. If you 799 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 2: look at New Mexico's pass defense, it's it's pretty bad. 800 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 2: It's one hundred and eighteenth in pass yards per attempt 801 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 2: at nine point oh four per pass. Their opponent yards 802 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 2: per play is one hundred and twenty third in the nation. 803 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 2: They're allowing seven yards per play. The big thing that 804 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 2: we can't put in the power ratings and we can't 805 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: adjust to is the fact that Hugh Freeze is back 806 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 2: on the field. 807 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 4: Big Ray to start the game, but at halftime, if 808 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 4: things aren't going so well, we're going to go to Bazuka. 809 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: He had no way to get to Buckshot through those 810 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 2: you know, the dental chair and the hospital beds and 811 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: being in the steel cage, the hell and the cell 812 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 2: there on the sidelines, like the Liberty improved and finally 813 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 2: you know, won a game and Blue blew a team out. 814 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 2: Once he got he got back on the field and 815 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 2: he was able to connect with Buckshot Calvert after each drive, 816 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 2: after they were able to make adjustments after each series. 817 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 2: So I think that's the biggest difference, and it doesn't 818 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 2: reflect in the power ratings. So I think liberty is 819 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 2: definitely the play here. But you don't want to have 820 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 2: the hook. 821 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 4: You have sacrificed and labored for years to make this 822 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 4: day a reality. And we're proud of you. Congratulations yep. 823 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 4: And are we fading Wyoming here with you? 824 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: And I don't know what to do with Wyoming, the 825 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 2: biggest box score frauds. You know, their rush defense isn't 826 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: that great, And that's what UNLV is based upon. The 827 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 2: number is spot on. It's exactly where I have it. 828 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 2: And so you know, as much as I want to 829 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 2: expose Wyoming, I've got this number with minus nine point eight, 830 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: so it's right on. I would love to back you 831 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 2: and OLV on the road here, but you know, Wyoming, 832 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: we're gonna get Wyoming one of these weeks. They've been 833 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 2: the biggest box score fraud of the year. 834 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, well we got him last week with TOLS some moneyline, 835 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 4: but they found a way to cover again. All right, 836 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 4: let's move on here. Let us know, guys, by the way, 837 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 4: give us feedback on if you like this format. There's 838 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 4: not a ton of marquee games, you know, huge you know, 839 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 4: three thirty CBS games and Top twenty five matchups, which 840 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 4: normally we would spend a lot of time digging into. 841 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 4: So we decided to just go through as many games 842 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 4: as possible because you know that it's an odd slate 843 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 4: when you're getting questions about ECU, ODU, Louisiana, Lafayette, Georgia Southern, 844 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,439 Speaker 4: So we're trying to hit as many games as we can. 845 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 4: Let's move on to the Wild Pac twelve, where expect 846 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 4: the unexpected. As we've seen, the only undefeated team in 847 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 4: the conference is Cal. We'll get to their game in 848 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 4: Friday night lights later. Myle my, how far Stanford has fallen. 849 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 4: You're going to touch on that later in a little teaser. 850 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 4: Washington ten and a half point favorite out at the 851 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 4: line has crossed the ten over USC. USC obviously off 852 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 4: that big win over Utah. Now, look we talked about 853 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 4: last week when USC and their air raid. The air 854 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 4: raid has had a lot of success against Utah and 855 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 4: their man defense. If you look at what Washington State 856 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 4: has done. And by the way, Washington State plays Utah, 857 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 4: which we'll get you next, but Washington State hasn't had 858 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 4: a lot of success against Washington. Washington knows how to 859 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 4: play this. You know, they'd rush three, they drop eight, 860 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 4: They'll have two deep safeties to take away, you know, 861 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 4: deep balls. You're not going to get those one as 862 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 4: many one on one matchups to throw it up to 863 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 4: those elite USC wide receivers. You have Matt Fink going 864 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 4: on the road here against the defense that can cover 865 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 4: the air raid, that has seen it. Is not why 866 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 4: you like Washington. See, I think I saw a play 867 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 4: come through on the Huskies here. I think it's a 868 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 4: good spot for Washington. Crossing the ten makes it a 869 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 4: little tougher. What do you see here? 870 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a great spot for Washington here. The number 871 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 2: I actually made, you know, Washington minus seven, so I 872 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 2: should be back in USC. But the thing is is 873 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 2: Matt Fink. All he did was use the air raid 874 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 2: to his advantage to take it against a Utah team 875 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 2: that's never been able to defend the air raid. 876 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 4: Stanford. You know, jump ball and go. 877 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 2: Tip ball central, throw it up, chuck it, let the 878 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: guys go up. And get it, and that for some reason, 879 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 2: Utah safeties year after year after year always has problems 880 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 2: with the air raid and that kind of offense. It's 881 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 2: not gonna work again. It's Washington. They've beaten the tar 882 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 2: out of Washington State the last few years because they've 883 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 2: always made comments on the defensive side of the ball 884 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 2: that defending the air raid is the same thing every year. 885 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 2: There's nothing new about the scheme. We know how to 886 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: defend it. It's something to easily coach. I don't know 887 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 2: why they can figure it out and why Utah can't 888 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 2: figure it out, but I expect Washington to be completely 889 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 2: prepared for this attack. And Matt Fink, now that there's 890 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 2: tape out and he's kind of exposed to what his 891 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 2: tendencies are. I think that's also to the advantage of 892 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 2: Washington too. Jacob Eeson is going to be able to, 893 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: you know, throw it, probably throw it all over the 894 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 2: place and hit some guys deep. The USC's power is 895 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 2: in the trench. I think they would be able to 896 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 2: hang with teams that you know, are rushing center kind 897 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 2: of like what they did. They were able to overpower 898 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 2: Stanford in the trenches, but that's not how this game 899 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: is going to go. You got to think about what 900 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 2: USC's path has been to this game. They've had just 901 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: some high level games against Utah, against BYU, Stanford, they 902 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 2: haven't really had a break and like we said last 903 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 2: week with BYU, the gas has to run out of 904 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 2: the take at some point. I think this is it 905 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 2: for USC. 906 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's two schools of thoughts in you know, gard 907 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 4: the air raid and you're going to see a lot 908 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 4: of NFL teams look to you know, the college ranks. 909 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 4: That's where the a raid came from. And then how 910 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 4: do you defend it? One of those teams we're going 911 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,439 Speaker 4: to get through next Big twelve. We didn't forget about 912 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 4: you Iowa State, who's you know, their defense is really 913 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 4: revolutionizing how teams defend the ARAI. They're in the Big 914 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 4: twelve and they've been the most successful team at defending it. 915 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 4: That's where the third three to three five came from. 916 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 4: But what Washington does is though you know rush three 917 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 4: and they're dropping eight, same kind of thing. And look, 918 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 4: b why you copied that. That's what BYU did against USC. 919 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 4: Utah is just a man team. But did they learn 920 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 4: from last week? They were mixing in some zone. Do 921 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 4: they come out and play completely different This week looks 922 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 4: like Zach Moss is doubtful against Washington State. Washington State 923 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 4: coming off that crazy loss against UCLA when they were 924 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 4: up by fifty or who knows in the third quarter, 925 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 4: and then Utah's coming off that loss to US. It 926 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 4: is a huge game in the PAC twelve at Utah 927 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,280 Speaker 4: under the lights. Believe it's a tenant ten Eastern k 928 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 4: Utah because of how they play, has been owned by 929 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 4: Washington State. They won four straight in the series. 930 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Utah's best plan of action here which 931 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: I do like them to win this game. Maybe not 932 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,919 Speaker 2: to cover, but I do like Utah to win this game. 933 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 2: I think their plan of action is to use Devin Brumfield. 934 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 2: He's the backup running back. He's a power running back. 935 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 2: He'll be able to go through the tackles. He'll be 936 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 2: able to eat up a bunch of clock. Time of 937 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 2: possession is a big deal for Utah. They're seventh in 938 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 2: the nation thirty five minutes per game and holding the ball. 939 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 2: The best way to not let the air raid beat 940 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 2: you is to just keep on getting first downs over 941 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: and over and running the ball, eating the clock. Listen 942 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 2: this wash His State defense soft, I mean Leech called 943 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: them all kinds of names. And Utah should be able 944 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 2: to turn around, hand the ball to Devin Brumfield, and 945 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 2: he should be able to get eight yards per carry, 946 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 2: and I expect that to be the plan of attack 947 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: for Utah. I like the under in this game because 948 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a lot slower paced 949 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 2: and people realize, I mean Washington State, they're never fast, 950 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 2: and I think Utah's best plan of attack is to 951 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 2: hand the ball off, keep the air raid off the field. 952 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 2: So I think Utah is going to keep it straight 953 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: and I think they're going to do their best to 954 00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 2: keep watching the State off the field. 955 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm interested to see the adjustments that Winninghamton company make, 956 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 4: could you Talh, I think you're gonna see more zone 957 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 4: and look, Washington State passes more than any team in 958 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 4: the country. Obviously they usually do. You know, they're the 959 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 4: most pass heavy offense in the country. And I don't 960 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 4: think Utah can keep doing what they've been doing, and 961 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 4: they saw it not work again last week versus USC 962 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 4: hasn't worked the last four times against Washington State, so 963 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 4: I think they can learn from last week, and you'll 964 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 4: see more zone concept. They come out with a vengeance here. 965 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 4: I just wish Washington State would have held on to 966 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 4: beat UCLA. It would have made this spot a lot better. 967 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 4: But yeah, I agree with you. I think Utah bucks 968 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 4: the trend here and gets to win. 969 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 2: All right. 970 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 4: I mentioned the Big Twelve. Let's go there. I didn't 971 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 4: skip over you TCU Kansas. TCU is banged up, Kansas 972 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 4: think is live dog. We'll cover that more on our 973 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 4: live show on Saturday mornings ten thirty Eastern. Check us 974 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 4: out on Twitter. We'll tweet out the link. Texas Tech Oklahoma. 975 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 4: I'll get to later in the show. But let's talk 976 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 4: Iowa State Baylor. These are two of our favorite coaches 977 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 4: to back. Iowa State's a three point favorite here. I 978 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 4: mentioned that Iowa State defense they're running at three three five. 979 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 4: It's been the best defense in the Big Twelve. Baylor 980 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 4: has felt the wrath of it in the last two meetings. 981 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 4: The last two years, they scored just fourteen points in 982 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 4: each meeting. What I think this comes down to is 983 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 4: Iowa State's offense finally have the explosion they've been waiting 984 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 4: for last week. But I think the difference in this 985 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 4: game is the offensive lines. Iowa State has an excellent 986 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 4: offensive line. Baylor does not. That's the last thing that 987 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 4: you want playing Iowa State's excellent defensive front. So I 988 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 4: think Brewer will get his yards and they'll be chucking 989 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 4: it all over. But Iowa State knows how to play 990 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 4: that type of defense. I think this is one in 991 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 4: the trenches, and that's the difference in this game. I 992 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 4: think Iowa State wins. I like them minus three. What 993 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 4: do you see they're in Baylor down in Waco. 994 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 2: I'm not taking a side in this game. I think 995 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 2: it's gonna be one of those kinds of games you 996 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 2: could play live and you can get plus three on 997 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 2: both sides. So I mean I project this to be 998 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 2: Baylor minus one. So obviously with Iowas you know, minus three, 999 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 2: I would think that there's value on that. But I 1000 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 2: think this game is going to be back and forth, 1001 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 2: and so I would rather play the side live. 1002 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: Now. 1003 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 2: I do think that this is going to be an 1004 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 2: over game. As I watch it tick down even further 1005 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: down to fifty four and a half, both teams are 1006 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 2: top twenty five in yards per play on offense and 1007 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 2: in defense. They have huge gaps in yards per play differential, 1008 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 2: which is over four. You know, the temperature needs to 1009 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 2: be at least recognized as a part of the handicap. 1010 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 2: It's going to be ninety three degrees, it's going to 1011 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 2: be clear, and it's going to be hot, and I'm 1012 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: wondering if that plays a Baylor's favor in the second half. Listen, 1013 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 2: I love Rock Purty, but this Baylor defense is excellent, 1014 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 2: especially getting you off the field. They're number one in 1015 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 2: the country opponent third down conversion percentage. You know, Iowa 1016 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 2: States no slouch, but they's seventy fifth and sacray. Baylor's defense, 1017 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 2: I think is up to the task of holding down 1018 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 2: Iowa State at least keeping them in the game. So 1019 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 2: I like the over end this game. I'd rather roll 1020 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 2: the dice with the over and play in the side 1021 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 2: live Baylor has. 1022 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 4: Who's Baylor played right? So far? This year? They played, 1023 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 4: They struggled with Rice, they beat Utsa, and they beat 1024 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 4: Steve n f Austin. I don't really trust their defense numbers, 1025 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 4: and even in those games, their offensive line was struggling. 1026 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 4: I saw their offense on struggling against Rice. The right 1027 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 4: side of the offensive line is really raw last year 1028 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 4: they let up. I believe a big twelve high. I 1029 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 4: think forty sacks somewhere around the thirty nine sacks. I 1030 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 4: just think this offensive line is going to have its 1031 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 4: hands full against Liman Company and that really outstanding Iowa 1032 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 4: State defensive front. All right. Elsewhere in the big twelve, 1033 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 4: Kansas State, Oklahoma State, this line has come way down. 1034 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 4: Oklahoma State now only a four point favorite. I think 1035 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 4: you make this significantly higher. Over unders dropped from sixty 1036 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 4: three and a half to sixty at first glance. I 1037 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 4: like this under Now it's a pace clash. You know, 1038 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 4: Kansas State is one of the slowest teams in the country. 1039 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 4: They are a straight snail. They're going to run at 1040 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 4: a ton. You know, they're gonna short passes, and then 1041 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 4: Oklahoma State's opos. They're gonna go fast, fast, fast, fast fast. 1042 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 4: I think the over runner is actually a little too high. 1043 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,720 Speaker 4: I'm a huge believer in this Kansas State team in Klinman, 1044 00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 4: but what do you see here? 1045 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas State is coming off of a bye, so 1046 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 2: they should be freshtionnary to go. They've had two weeks 1047 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 2: for prepares to where Oklahoma State is coming off of 1048 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 2: a road trip down to Texas where they actually kept 1049 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 2: you know, even in total yards they had four hundred 1050 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 2: ninety four Texas four ninety eight. The total I actually 1051 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 2: make spot on we projected this at sixty one. It's 1052 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 2: kind of hanging out right right around there. And I 1053 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 2: do think at Oklahoma State, I've got it actually a 1054 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 2: little bit higher at Oklahoma State minus eight point five 1055 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 2: over Kansas State. I don't know how to make heads 1056 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,879 Speaker 2: or tails, but what we've seen with Nichols and Bowling 1057 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 2: Green Missisippi State, Kansas State has done everything that they 1058 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 2: needed to do definitely not a play for me. I'm 1059 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 2: not comfortable with money on Kansas State yet. I still, 1060 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 2: you know, like Oklahoma State, especially offensively, where you know, 1061 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 2: we've had games of five hundred and fifty five five 1062 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 2: hundred eighty yards against Oregon State McNeice and over five 1063 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,919 Speaker 2: hundred yards against Tulsa and almost five hundred yards against Texas. 1064 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 2: It's just seems like shootout to me. So you know, 1065 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 2: I probably will look over more than anything else. 1066 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 4: Yep. All right, before we get to the SEC, let's 1067 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 4: quickly go through the belt. Don't let the latest come 1068 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 4: between you and the beil Troy Arkansas State. If you 1069 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 4: don't know Arkansas State, you gotta feel bad for them. 1070 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 4: It is a disaster. Logan Bonner is out for the year. 1071 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 4: He had thumb surgery. Their quarterback now is a kid 1072 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 4: who transferred from Alabama, Lane Hatcher. He's a three star kid. 1073 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 4: He'll get the start. Ryan Graham, one of their running backs, 1074 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 4: is out for the season. Their other running back, Marcel Mary, 1075 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,479 Speaker 4: is questionable with an ankle injury. He's nursing. They lost 1076 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 4: their top corner. A mess. It's risen from fifty five 1077 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 4: and a half to fifty eight and half. I think 1078 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 4: a touch fifty nine and a half. It's come down 1079 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 4: a little bit. I like the under. I think Troy 1080 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 4: can name it. This Arkansas State team is just beat up. 1081 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 4: And the only other game that I think is we're 1082 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 4: talking about is app State Coastal Carolina line is ticked down. 1083 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 4: Any interest in Coastal or Arc State? 1084 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 2: Troy, Yeah, I think you're right on with Troy. I mean, 1085 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 2: the number is up from our projection. We had a 1086 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,959 Speaker 2: four and a half. It's at seven and a half. 1087 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 2: And that you know, it could be Logan Bonner in there. 1088 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 2: It could be a lot of reasons. Arkansas State's been 1089 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 2: through a lot on the field, and they've been through 1090 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 2: a lot off the field. Troy's yards per place so 1091 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 2: far as fourteenth the nation at seven point three five, 1092 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 2: and Arkansas State is outside the top one hundred opponent 1093 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 2: yards per play allowed, So I definitely like Troy in 1094 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 2: that spot to take advantage. 1095 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 4: All right, let's go through the sec rapid fire. We'll 1096 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 4: start miss State Auburn. Look, bow Nicks, bo Picks, whatever 1097 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 4: you want to call him, bow Nicks season, then full effect. Look, 1098 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 4: he's been inefficient. I will say Mississippi State's offensive line, 1099 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 4: which was a problem early in the year, has been better, 1100 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 4: and it was better against Kentucky. Auburn should win the 1101 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 4: battle in the trenches here. I think Auburn will win 1102 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 4: the game. I made it less than ten, and I 1103 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 4: could get it at eleven. I believe it just took 1104 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 4: down the nine and a half as we're recording this. 1105 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 4: That's it to play on the number for me. I 1106 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 4: think this got a little inflated at eleven. That's why 1107 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 4: I played in miss State. Any thoughts there? 1108 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, Tommy Stevens is practice this week. It was kind 1109 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 2: of a close practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and all Morehead 1110 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 2: would say was that he definitely did practice. So it 1111 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: looks like I think the number is coming down because 1112 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 2: it's starting to lead to Tommy Stevens is going to 1113 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 2: be under center for Mississippi State. I made the game 1114 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 2: with Tommy Stevens Auburn minus seven, so I think there's 1115 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 2: value And especially if Tommy Stevens is gonna start and 1116 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 2: he's fine, then I think there's definitely value on the 1117 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 2: number at ten. 1118 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 4: Texas A and m Arkansas. You're fading your boys here 1119 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 4: catching twenty three and a half at home Arkansas against 1120 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 4: Texas A. 1121 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: And m woo pig suy. 1122 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 4: Absolute dumpster fined, dumpster fine. 1123 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 2: I don't know how we win a game the rest 1124 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 2: of the year, just blowing program up. 1125 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 4: Give us a death sentence. 1126 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: Collins talking razorback football. 1127 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 2: I think this is a first half play on Arkansas. 1128 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: You're gonna get the best effort you can get out 1129 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 2: of Arkansas. Between all this club dub nonsense bullshit with 1130 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 2: them dancing in the locker room and saying they're going 1131 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,240 Speaker 2: to be you know, San Jose State by one hundred 1132 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 2: and seventy three and Nick Starkles being crabby with people 1133 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 2: on his Instagram and practice. You know, Chad Morris has 1134 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 2: come out and said that practice has been perfect this week. 1135 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 2: The execution has been spot on, the best that they've 1136 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 2: had the entire year. And I like John Chavis in 1137 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 2: this spot. Are our defensive coordinator. He's formerly of Texas 1138 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,439 Speaker 2: A and M. He kept this game tight last year, 1139 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 2: So I think a first half play is worth it. 1140 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 2: I mean, we picked off Kellen mont Weis last year. 1141 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 2: Arkansas's defense is thirty fifth and Havoc. They're just getting 1142 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 2: gashed on the ground. They're absolutely terrible on the ground 1143 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 2: and controlling the run. So I think Arkansas is worth 1144 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,919 Speaker 2: a play because of the effort factor and the line 1145 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 2: is inflated a little bit for the first half. But 1146 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 2: besides that, I can't trust him full game. 1147 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'll look at him full game though, too. 1148 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 4: If it gets a twenty four. Yeah, you make a 1149 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 4: good point. This is in Arlington noon kick Bama Ole 1150 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 4: Miss who cares Kentucky South Carolina. Both teams are dealing 1151 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 4: with quarterback injury. Sawyer Smith for Kentucky's even banged up now. 1152 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 4: He looks like he's gonna play. Looked awful last week. 1153 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 4: Against Mississippis. Kentucky's owned this series, owned it. I think 1154 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 4: they're going for six wins in a row for South Carolina, 1155 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 4: which is crazy to think for Kentucky football. The South 1156 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 4: Carolina bounce back here two and a half point favorite 1157 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 4: at home over the. 1158 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 2: Cats Kentucky, I don't know who's going to be under center. 1159 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 2: They were then coming into the season already. I can't 1160 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 2: back either team in this spot. It's musical chairs of 1161 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 2: the bottom of the SEC East. 1162 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 4: Yep. All right, before we go three and out, let's 1163 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 4: talk FCS or. 1164 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: No, Southland or SEC, Big Sky or Big ten. It's 1165 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:17,800 Speaker 1: time to play EPC. Yes or no. 1166 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 4: Now this might be just one second because there's not 1167 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 4: many matchups, there's not many intruing ones. I just wanted 1168 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 4: to use this time to tell Flacco, not Joe, Tom 1169 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 4: and talsand they have a pretty good offense. They're playing Florida. 1170 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,800 Speaker 4: I think Florida really just cares about they've done with 1171 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 4: a lot of injuries. Florida just cares about getting out 1172 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 4: of this game healthy, not showing anything. You know, they're 1173 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 4: coming off that win, you know over Tennessee over Kentucky, 1174 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,439 Speaker 4: and you know on deck they have Auburn. I doubt 1175 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 4: they want to show anything. They want to get out healthy. 1176 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,760 Speaker 4: I think talisand can put up a couple of touchdowns 1177 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 4: worth a look at thirty seven and the elite Tom Flacco. 1178 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 4: Anything in the FCS space for you, maybe. 1179 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 2: A Texas State plus three and a half against Nichols. 1180 00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 2: My heartburn with that is that Nichols is an app 1181 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 2: absolutely really good rushing team at the FCS level. Texas 1182 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 2: State struggles against the rush terribly. They have some of 1183 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 2: the worst defensive line metrics out there and all of 1184 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,839 Speaker 2: the FBS on Football Outsiders, So we'll see there may 1185 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 2: be a play come across the app for that. 1186 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 4: Look, I'm okay with this now. Texas State took care 1187 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,439 Speaker 4: of me last week. I'm now able to bet them 1188 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 4: without vomiting. All Right, before we get out of here, 1189 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 4: let's go three and out. 1190 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,839 Speaker 1: Let's make it a quick three and out. 1191 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 4: Let's start first with Friday night lights. 1192 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 2: That's here, gentlemen, clear eyes, full hearts. 1193 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,720 Speaker 4: Hey, let's go play some football. We're gonna have betting 1194 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 4: guys out on Action Network dot Com and the Action app, 1195 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 4: so check those app But we'll mention our favorite game 1196 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,360 Speaker 4: on Friday night Maryland, I got them plus seven. I 1197 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 4: like them six or above. These teams are really similar, 1198 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 4: both coming off buys. You know, this will be in 1199 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 4: College Park on a weird Friday night, eight o'clock kick 1200 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 4: the Penn State offense. And this is ever since Joe 1201 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 4: Moore had left. The passing is just it's been all 1202 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 4: out of whack. The timing's out of whack. It in 1203 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 4: that way again this year. Both teams, you know, their 1204 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 4: defensive lines have played well, they've defended the run well. 1205 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 4: I just trust McFarlane better. There's not you know, a 1206 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 4: running back that has really emerged as the guy yet 1207 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 4: for Penn State. You have a new quarterback here going 1208 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 4: on the road. And yeah, Penn State's three and zero. 1209 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 4: Yes they're ranked in the top fifteen, but what do 1210 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 4: they do. They beat Buffalo, they were trailing at the 1211 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 4: half in a game they're out gained in. They beat 1212 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 4: pit by seven at home, they were out gained in 1213 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 4: that game also, And then yeah, they beat Idaho in August. 1214 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 4: Who cares? So I think Penn State's a little inflated here. 1215 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 4: I think Maryland might pull off this upset. 1216 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I already took them on the app 1217 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,879 Speaker 2: at seven, I would lay some money down on money 1218 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 2: line because we have not been fans of Penn State 1219 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 2: all year, completely overrated. So Virginia Tech is a play 1220 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 2: because of the number. I think it should be at 1221 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 2: eight and a half. Duke's only won this game twice 1222 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 2: in the last fifteen tries against Virginia Tech. But I'll 1223 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 2: take air Force as my second favorite bet of the night, 1224 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,279 Speaker 2: and it's really because of the spot the number that 1225 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 2: I actually made this game eighteen and a half that 1226 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 2: some offerings you can get an eighteen and a half 1227 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 2: or nineteen. 1228 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,840 Speaker 4: You're not just saying bitter with San Jose State, right. 1229 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 2: No, I mean I'm not being bitter with San Jose State. 1230 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,399 Speaker 2: I mean they got five interceptions to win that game, 1231 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 2: but they I mean they may. Arkansas looks stupid. I 1232 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 2: mean they're just running them over. In what world am 1233 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 2: I living in where San Jose State is running over 1234 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 2: Arkansas defenders? The real world? We paid them one point 1235 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 2: five million dollars. You got paid one point five million 1236 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 2: dollars to come beat an SEC team in their own house. Amazing. 1237 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 2: So they fly back, biggest win in program history. They 1238 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 2: have a short week of practice now, They're going to 1239 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 2: Colorado Springs where the elevation is over six thousand feet. 1240 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 2: Air Force is for real in the trenches on the 1241 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 2: offensive line, the defensive line. San Jose State I don't 1242 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 2: think has seen a triple option of any form. I 1243 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 2: think I looked back last couple of years on their schedule, 1244 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,240 Speaker 2: so it's gonna I mean, a short week in elevation 1245 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 2: against a triple option against a team that has legit 1246 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 2: trenches on both sides of the ball. I do make 1247 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 2: the number eighteen and a half, but I think it's 1248 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 2: a great spot for Air Force. 1249 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 4: Service Academies is huge favorites. It's always tough to get 1250 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 4: them home. I think it's like forty percent double digit 1251 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 4: favorites over the last fifteen years. But yes, I agree 1252 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 4: with you on the trenches on both sides. Air Force 1253 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,879 Speaker 4: has done nothing but impress. I also am looking forward 1254 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,439 Speaker 4: to the Arizona State cal potential rock fight late night 1255 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 4: in Pac twelve. After for second down, let's go with 1256 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 4: our favorite overdog. Let's bring that segment back. 1257 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,280 Speaker 2: It's called the overdogs parlay. 1258 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,719 Speaker 4: For those who are not familiar, overdog is the opposite 1259 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 4: of underdog. We had someone calling him the voicemail and 1260 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 4: say that we should stop betting underdogs and start betting overdogs. 1261 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 4: So now we refer to favorites sometimes as overdogs. Here, 1262 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with a team that you would think 1263 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,399 Speaker 4: is overvalued, but I think there's value here, and that's 1264 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 4: Oklahoma against Texas Tech, who doesn't have their starting quarterbacks. 1265 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 4: They're going to play two quarterbacks here, but I just 1266 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 4: don't think it matters. They're not going to stop this 1267 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,920 Speaker 4: Oklahoma offense. And look David Yost, the offensive coordinator for 1268 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 4: Texas Tech, he wants to fly and I mean a lie. 1269 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 4: I saw an interview with him when he's like, yeah, 1270 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 4: we were snapping it with thirty seconds and that's not 1271 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 4: good enough. We want to be at thirty one seconds 1272 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 4: and we want to snap before the defense's players hands 1273 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 4: are down. Guess what that can work some weeks, not 1274 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,800 Speaker 4: this week. You don't want to be giving Oklahoma the 1275 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 4: ball and increasing possessions. I think under four time touchdowns 1276 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 4: there's value with Oklahoma. So I'll go with Oklahoma. Who's 1277 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:03,919 Speaker 4: your favorite overdog of the week. 1278 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Western Michigan. Western Michigan is 1279 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,720 Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the country at explosive plays. 1280 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 2: Central Michigan is I think one hundred and nineteenth in 1281 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 2: the country and allowing twenty plus yard plays from scrimmage, 1282 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 2: and this is a battle for the canyon. Jim mcawayan 1283 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,879 Speaker 2: came out and his presser on Monday and he said 1284 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 2: the speed of Western Michigan on the outside and on 1285 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 2: their defensive line is going to be a serious problem 1286 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 2: for Central Michigan. Western Michigan is probably going to be 1287 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 2: able to do whatever they want. John was sink, the 1288 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 2: quarterback is going to be able to throw all of 1289 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 2: them covered. Last year won this game big overdogwise, Western 1290 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 2: Michigan NINEUS seventeen. It's a good play. 1291 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 4: Gotta love it some mach right, and then before we 1292 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 4: get out of here, finally we'll go quickly here with 1293 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 4: our underdog money line parlay. 1294 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 1: Turning good weekends in two great weekends, it's time for 1295 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: the money line parlay. 1296 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 4: I'll start. I already mentioned mine. I'm rolling with Toledo. 1297 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 4: I think it's a bad spot for an exhausted VYU 1298 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 4: team who also lost a running back. I love the 1299 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 4: way that their offense looks y. He just wants to 1300 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 4: get to their buy who you going. 1301 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 2: With going to the Oregon State. I mean everybody out 1302 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 2: there is like, call them, did you really put three units? 1303 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,919 Speaker 2: So yeah, I really did. I really liked Oregon State 1304 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 2: at four and a half. Hit that as much as 1305 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 2: I could on Monday, just a really great spot against 1306 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,720 Speaker 2: the Stanford team that's had to play by u USC. 1307 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 2: I mean Stanford and UC injuries all over. kJ Costello 1308 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 2: has not looked the same since he got banged in 1309 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 2: the head. I mean, their offense is broken, their one 1310 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 2: hundred and eighteenth in total offense. Two of the past 1311 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,839 Speaker 2: three times Stanford has played with good teams played at 1312 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,319 Speaker 2: Reester Stadium, they've escaped with their lives, like in the 1313 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 2: final second. Jonathan Smith, this is a big game for him. 1314 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 2: He told everybody this week was going to be an 1315 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 2: Orange out.
