1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. What is a

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: straight fire fan. It's me, Jason McIntyre, straight fire for

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Thursday March, the ladies and gentlemen. If you only had

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: a camera on me. Wednesday, I don't know, nine am,

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: maybe ten o'clock, right around that time Pacific. I saw

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: on social media, Oh, Tyreek Hill wants out, and within

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: minutes the dolphinsive Jets are in the mix, and of

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: course your boy goes to Deacon one and I was

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: bouncing off walls. I was excited. I was looking up

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: forty times of Braxton Barrios and uh Corey Davis and

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Elijah Moore. I mean, we had a

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: track team the Jets for about thirty minutes. We had

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: a track team with Tyreek Hill on the roster. And

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: then of course he picked Miami, no surprise to anybody.

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: For five draft picks um which is crowded bananas and

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, the top three receiver in the league is

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: on the move. Is the number one? I don't know,

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is the number one or two or three.

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: He's on the move. Cooper cups certainly and there he's

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: staying put. But what a crazy offseason it has been

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I I tracked this, I put it

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: on i G stories. Of the thirteen best players to

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: be on the move in this off season, eleven of

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: them went to the a f C, the only two

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: to go to the NFC. By the way, I did

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: not even put Carson Wentz in that group. He's not

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: one of the best, obviously. But of thirteen moves, eleven

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: to the a f C. The only ones to go

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: to the NFC, Allen Robinson to the Rams the receiver,

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: and Marcus Mariotta, who probably shouldn't even make a list,

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: goes to the Falcons. But otherwise the a f C

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: is ridiculously loaded. Tyreek Hill stays in the a f C,

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: And I guess my overarching thought would be, this is

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: what bad teams have to do. They've got to overpay

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: for stars. You saw the Raiders back up the brinks.

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Now it was only a first and a second for

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams, but it wasn't the compensation. It was the contract.

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: The contract they gave Davante Adams was incredibly lucrative for

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. It's not good long term for the Raiders.

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Adams is thirty in December. That contract is not gonna

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: look good in two years, but it looks good now

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: because the Raiders, who have mostly been a dumpster fire,

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: I think, to playoff appearances in what the last fifteen years,

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: they got to overpay for Davanta Adams. So what do

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins have to do? Miami Dolphins have been

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: a total trash franchise. The owner is being called all

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: sorts of names in lawsuits by Brian Flores. Miami stinks.

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: They thought maybe they had something with Tuah when Tom

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Brady left it was gonna be to his division, and

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: now it's clearly Josh Allen's and Miami has to overpay

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: for Tyreek Hill, make him the highest paid receiver in

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the league. And that's what bad teams have to do.

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Miami is a bad team, a bad franchise. And I

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: know the question is, well, what are the Jets if

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Dolphins are bad? And yes, the

56
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Jets are bad. Cleveland Brown's bad. Had to overpay to

57
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson. This is what you gotta do. That's what

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: you have to do if you're a bad franchise. Tyreek

59
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Hill is he is a superstar. I think, without question,

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: his catch and run with about a minute left against

61
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: the Bills was my favorite highlight of the NFL season,

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: after after the Cooper Cup third down reception against the

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Niners in the NFC Championship game. And I only went

64
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: for like thirty yards, but it was sick and of

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: course I was in the stadium with the family, and

66
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, third down, I say to my kids, Cooper Cup,

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: you gotta look for a cup. You gotta look for

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: a cup. And Stafford hits him on the slant. He

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: breaks one or two tackles, his thirty yards, stadium bedlam,

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: just absolute chaos. It was awesome. So that was my

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: favorite catch of the season. But Tyreek Hill catches the

72
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: slant against the Bills and then just outruns like eight guys,

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: waves to some defender at the fifteen yard line when

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: the defender was ahead of him. I mean, the guy's ridiculous.

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, you got Kasecki. I mean, you've got a

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: pretty pretty awesome team there with the Miami Dolphins. They

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: got it, they're loaded. Of course, the key is can

78
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: to a deliver. I personally do not think he can.

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. From Tua. Is the new coach

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna basically say, hey, you know what, let's make it

81
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: very easy on to a short passes to Waddle, who

82
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: was incredible with the yak yards after catch Tyreek Hill,

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: same deal. And ultimately I think the defenses for the

84
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna be, hey, we just can't get beat deep.

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Let's keep everything in front of us. Let's get some

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: pressure on tah He has not looked good under pressure.

87
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: And ultimately, I don't know that this makes Miami even

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: a playoff lock in the NFC. Now, we do have

89
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: an odds maker coming up in a couple of minutes

90
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: um from Caesar's. His name is Adam Poland, Caesar Sports

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Book assistant director of Trading. I asked him about the Dolphins.

92
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: It didn't really move the meter on their Super Bowl odds,

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: so that should kind of tell you what this move is.

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: This ain't Deshaun Watson to the Browns, Okay, it's just not.

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: It's not Matt Ryan to the Colts. There's a receiver

96
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: and two has still gotta get him the ball. And

97
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: again this listen, I'm not totally poo pooing the Dolphins.

98
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a good move. If the Jets had it,

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: would'd be going crazy. Hell yeah, Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostart.

100
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Those are two good backs, Tyreek Hill, Jalen Wattle Parker,

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, Preston Williams. That's five deep a receiver. They

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: they've got some talent there. Offensive line, they backed up

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: the Brinks for Armstead from the Saints. You know, Connor

104
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Williams comes over from the Cowboys. They've got like a

105
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: rebuilt left side of the line. There's a lot of

106
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: moving parts to this team. They're gonna be good. They're

107
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be Bills good. We know that there be

108
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: better than the Jets, And I don't know are they

109
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: gonna better than Patriots? Are they first time head coach?

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: Are we sure? Defense? They've had a couple of chances

111
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: late in the season the last two years against Buffalo

112
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: to get it done, and they got smashed both times.

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: So you know, I got this is a prove it

114
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: thing from my NIAI Dolphins, Miami Dolphins. Um, I think

115
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: without further ado, we gotta in today's guest. He's good.

Speaker 1: we're gonna do Sweet sixteen and maybe elead eight, and

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's a Tyreek Hill trade, So

131
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: we can bring in the assistant director of Trading at Caesar's,

132
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Adam pulland Adam, how are you good? How are you guys? Well?

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: You know, as a Jets fan, I was, I was

134
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: feeling awesome this morning for I don't know what the

135
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: thirty minutes that we had a shot at Tyreek Hill.

136
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: And then he goes to the rival Dolphins have been

137
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: vomiting uncontrollably for much of Wednesday. That being said, we're

138
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna do na tournament stuff, setting the lines and and

139
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: where the money's at. But I need to start with

140
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Any adjustments on your end

141
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: for Miami futures when the division all that fun stuff. Yeah,

142
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: some slight adjustments were made. I mean, look, obviously Tyreek

143
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: Hill is a game changer, a great player, but wide

144
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: receivers don't move the needle that much. Uh. Quarterbacks usually

145
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: are the ones that move the needle quite a bit.

146
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: So we adjusted them down a little bit, uh in

147
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl conference and division, so based on the news.

148
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: So definitely a good pickup for Miami and then improves

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: the team. So uh, you know, positive, positive addition, but

150
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: doesn't move the needle too much. But we did lower

151
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins futures across the board. So what are they

152
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: in the a f C East Now? Are they still

153
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: behind the Bills and Patriots or do they leap to Patriots? Correct,

154
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: they're behind behind both. They're close to the Patriots now, uh,

155
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: but still I think those two teams are a little

156
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: bit better even with the addition of Tyree Hill. But look,

157
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great uh weapon for two to

158
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: have him in the fold, so we saw seeing what

159
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: he can do. He's an explosive player. So definitely positive

160
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins and definitely increases their chances. I mean, look,

161
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: they're got close to making the playoffs last year, and

162
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: an addition like Tyreek Hill definitely helps their chances out

163
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: and getting in your next season, Adam, do they even

164
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: have top five odds to win the a f C?

165
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: Top eight? What what's their number currently? It's close right now,

166
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: they're about thirty two one just to win the a

167
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: f C. Yeah. Yeah, as a Jets fan, I kind

168
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: of like that, Adam. I gonna be honest that they

169
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: got no shot. Let's be honest. I mean unless two

170
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: it turns into a great quarterback, which he's not. Uh,

171
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. Um. I am curious. Did you

172
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: guys take any big action today as we record Wednesday

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: on Miami. I know it's spring break. I'm sure a

174
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: lot of kids out in Vegas. Maybe plunk it some

175
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: some heavy money down any any anything on the Dolphins?

176
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Nothing too crazy. I mean, look, when every big free

177
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: agent acquisition is made by a team, or a trade. Obviously,

178
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: people get excited and like to plunk down a few

179
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: dollars on that seeing that they have some value. Uh.

180
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: So there were some bets, but nothing major uh with

181
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: the Tyreek Hill acquisition. But you know, as I said,

182
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: any player, especially a player of his caliber, that gets moved,

183
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna take notice and uh

184
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: and look to lump on that team. We just acquired

185
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: that player. So nothing massive on the Dolphin. Not not

186
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: a huge surprise. Lets it's more exciting from jeez, everybody's

187
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: changing teams, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill. I mean, everybody's going

188
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: to the a f C. But overall, like they're they're

189
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: not winning the Super Bowl or getting out the a

190
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: f C. All right, let's get to college basketball at

191
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: him I had, I got my teeth kicked in over

192
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: the weekend. It was brutal, Um. You know, I felt

193
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: like every swing game went against me. I did have

194
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Kentucky doing some damage in Iowa as well, But overall,

195
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: how was it for the book? Decent results of the books.

196
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: And then look, whenever you have a mix of a

197
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: favorite and underdogs, uh, you know that's that's generally good. Uh.

198
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, obviously when St. Peter's b Kentucky when Iowa lost. Uh.

199
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: You know, those are usually good results because a lot

200
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: of people like to lump on the money line on

201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: those favorite teams and parleym together. Uh, so that definitely helped.

202
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: But a good result usually for the books. Uh. When

203
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: that happens, as long as there's not all favorites coming in, uh,

204
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: usually it's positive for the books. And in this case,

205
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: it was a decent opening weekend for sure. It's weird.

206
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: It's interesting because like we've noticed an upticking listeners this

207
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: March versus last March. Just the response. It seems like

208
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: there was way more interested in March Badness this year.

209
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: I know COVID last year and it was canceled two

210
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: years ago. But I'm just curious, are you guys seeing

211
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: like a tsunami just a ton of money coming in

212
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: on the tournament or is it kind of still well

213
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: below super Bowl or on par with Super Bowl? Above it?

214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: What do you see? Well, it's above super Bowl, and

215
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: just in the fact that we have, you know, games,

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: and just one goes on for you for three or

217
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: four weeks, so naturally you're gonna have more money overall.

218
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: But Yeah. Look, with the proliferation of sports betting throughout

219
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: the country, more people are interested, uh and are now

220
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: easily it's easily available for them to punk down the

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: bet So naturally you're gonna see from Urine and you

222
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: know from each year as we go forward, betting handle

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: is going to increase, and especially with the NTA Tournament

224
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: along with Super Bowl, one of the top two sporting

225
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: events in this country, in my opinion, the best. Uh,

226
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: it's just gonna keep getting bigger and bigger every year.

227
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's specifically look at the games. Uh, Thursday's

228
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: games obviously way better than Friday's. You have good zagat

229
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: action the number one overall seed. I'm assuming you guys

230
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: have taken money because it looks like this is going

231
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: up about a point and a half almost everywhere. Have

232
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: you guys moved it off the original number significantly? Yeah,

233
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: we moved it. It's currently at nine and a half.

234
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: There was some movement on the game and some people

235
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: piled on Gonzaga, so we're at nine and a half

236
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, a little bit surprising and for me, uh,

237
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: it seems like it's gonna be a very tough matchup

238
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: for them. Obviously wouldn't be as if they blew them

239
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: out there. Definite capable. But look, they're playing a similar

240
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: team that they ran into last week in Memphis, a

241
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: physical team, a team that's not going to back down

242
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: from him. So on paper, uh, it looks like another

243
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: close matchup. But see, is it gonna be again Zaga

244
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: team that sort of learned from their struggles a little

245
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: bit in the opening weekend or is this going to

246
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: be indicative of things to come? But look, college basketball,

247
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: there's so much parody, so many good teams out there,

248
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: so definitely would not surprise me if Art got to win.

249
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're good enough. Uh and even though

250
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: how good Gonzagas had been the favorite all year, they're

251
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna be in for a tough matchup. Was that move

252
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: with the market or was it based on big bets

253
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: on good Zaga. I'm assuming the public saw Gonzaga not

254
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: look great against Memphis and it's like, oh, I don't know,

255
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: maybe that's a big number. Um, would you consider Gonzaga

256
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: sharp side? Here it was, and that's what that's what

257
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: moved the moved the line that yeah, it was sharp

258
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: money that came in, So uh, maybe they're looking for

259
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: a rebound and thinking they're going to prove off their performance. Yeah,

260
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: it's definitely sharp money that moved the line. I'm assuming

261
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: that that was that's probably the gay people more targeted

262
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: than any on Thursday. But Texas Tech Duke is kind

263
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: of one of those public sharp divides. I would assume right.

264
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: The public always loves to bet Duke. They were great

265
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch against Michigan State. Texas Tech can be

266
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: unwatchable at times, but I'm let me guess that that

267
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: is one of the sharper sides of the Sweet six

268
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: team Texas Tech. You're absolutely right. I mean it sets

269
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: up to be a sharp versus public matchup. The public,

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, they see probably if he has a late

271
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: person whose favor in the game, they've automatically say do

272
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: But look, Texas Tech, UH has a lot of respect

273
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: with myself and a lot of oddsmakers. Uh. They're very

274
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: talented team. They're not the most pretty team. Like you said,

275
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: they defend UH and Duke's gonna be in for a

276
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: tough matchup. It's definitely they're better, way better than in

277
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: my opinion of Michigan State. Michigan. It's played him pretty close,

278
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: so that the public seas Duke is a small underdog

279
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: and the money at least right off the bat, you know,

280
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: they've been on Duke more than Texas Tech. So it definitely,

281
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: like you said, appears to be a you know, sharp

282
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: versus a public a split on that game, with the

283
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,359
Speaker 1: public siding with Duke, you know, looking like they're gonna

284
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: go with the sentimental coach k factor. Uh. Just you know,

285
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: Texas Tech just not on the radar where Duke is

286
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: a more obviously a more popular team. It also seems

287
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: like Arizona people are going to be selling them after

288
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: needing overtime against TCU. I mean, they knew they should

289
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: have lost that game. Really, and you know, Houston does

290
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: have a Final four recently at last year they were there.

291
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, this is an Arizona team that's young. Um,

292
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: what are you seeing on this one? It looks like

293
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: the number may have gone down a little bit. Huh,

294
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: went down a little bit. Uh. But again, this it's

295
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: a tough matchup and it can go anyway. And you know,

296
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't fault Arizona for what they did against TCU. TCU.

297
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: You know, ask Kansas about TCU and how well they

298
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: how well they play. Uh they beat him once and

299
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: and played them very tough in Allan field House. So

300
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: it was definitely not surprising for me to see TCU

301
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: put up a good fight, their physical and tough. Uh. Look,

302
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: it's you're gonna run into those situations and a n

303
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: ci A tournament, no game is is easy. And I

304
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: figured going into the tournament, these second round games, so

305
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: the number one seeds are not gonna be cake walks,

306
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and uh definitely played out that way. Uh in the

307
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: second round. Uh, you know Baylor losing, Kansas had it

308
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: tough against Creighton, so uh, look, this game could go anyway.

309
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: Houston again, another team with a lot of respect in

310
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: the eyes of the makers and well deserving. Uh, they're

311
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna defend. They're gonna make it tough for Arizona, and

312
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: it figures to be one that's gonna come down to

313
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: the wire. But look a lot of people are gonna

314
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: see Arizona is a small favorite and maybe even though

315
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Houston has had success lately, Uh, public probably is gonna

316
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: go to Arizona more than it. We'll use it in

317
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. We know that the public tends to overreact.

318
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: You know, you see a Sunday Night Island game. Uh,

319
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: it's a stunner, and all of a sudden, everybody loves

320
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: that team. They're great, the other team stinks, and you

321
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: know how the betting goes the following week. I am

322
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: curious about Arizona because they were the last game of

323
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: the second round. I know it was on late, but

324
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: it was there was no other games on for the

325
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: second half, I think in overtime, and I am just curiously.

326
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: Are you seeing Arizona as just a very public side here? Yeah?

327
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: They should be. I mean, look, sometimes they have a

328
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: short memory. It's different. Uh you know, I've had a

329
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: few days to digest that. But again, if they're up

330
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: against another team, maybe more of a more public team

331
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: than Houston, uh you know, maybe it'd be different. But

332
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: I just think that small number and it looks can

333
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: look tempting for the public. But again, Houston is a

334
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: quality team. Uh. It's gonna be tough on Arizona. I mean,

335
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: but it could go anyway. Uh. You know, they're gonna

336
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way to stop Matherin has

337
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. Uh that depends on Creeza. How's Creezing gonna

338
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: do do? Is he gonna a little better than he did?

339
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, it was one for ten. I believe in

340
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: uh in the game against TCU, he's gonna be a factor.

341
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: But you know, it just figures to be you know,

342
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: like all these four games, tomorrow night figures to be

343
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: a close one. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

348
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: you know I'm out here in l A and U

349
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: c l A. Obviously, everybody's excited coming off the final

350
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: four trip. How are you handling the high may injury?

351
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: Looks like the ankle I know there's video surface of

352
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: him walking fine. U c l A alum seemed to

353
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: all think it's good he did not practice. People are

354
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: hanging on the practice reports. How are you guys handling

355
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: this one? Well, obviously we're paying attention to that closely.

356
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, as has been has been great, but look

357
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: U c l AS from the whole year, it was health,

358
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: so many injury issues, but we all know what they

359
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: did last year and play one of the greatest games

360
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: in college basketball history against Gonzaga, uh in the final four. Uh,

361
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, team that can cut down the net. Obviously,

362
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: howks you prefer him to be healthy? I know U

363
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: c l A would, uh, but they have all the intangibles.

364
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: I think they followed defense, but he's gonna be a

365
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: key and hopefully for them he's an under percent or

366
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: close to it. But we know he seemed like a

367
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: warrior and the guys that's gonna gut it out and uh,

368
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: look it's it's gonna be one of another great match

369
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: for the North Carolina team that uh played another crazy

370
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: game against Baylor, but the you know, up huge and

371
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: then I had to hold them off. But yeah, Hawk

372
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: has is going to be a big factor and hopefully

373
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: for U c l ah, you know he'll be good

374
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, I'm assuming there's no sharp side in

375
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: this one, right, I'm assuming they'll wait to weigh in

376
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: right before the game. See how hawk is looks? Is

377
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: that you think that's one of those plays? Or are

378
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: you already seeing anything interesting here? Not much? A little

379
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: a little more action on U c l A. Again,

380
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: small number. Uh. You know, I think a lot of

381
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: people sort of remember U C l A. I mean, look,

382
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: they were one of the favorites going into the year,

383
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: and just like I said, the injury bug has hit

384
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: him and the results maybe you weren't, they weren't as

385
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: consistent throughout the year. Uh, but yeah, it's I think

386
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a game and obviously depends on hot cast.

387
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the sharp slight to bet injuries and

388
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: once they get that information, whether definitively he's he's good

389
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: to go or they'll they'll check him out and warm ups,

390
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: see how he's doing. Uh, that'll factor in. And he

391
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: looked good. You know, line probably will go up a

392
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: little bit, and if he doesn't, line will probably go

393
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: down in North Carolina's favor So uh, injuries, obviously into

394
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: a player of his caliber are gonna be very important

395
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: to how the line moves in that game. I know

396
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: nobody cares about Miami Iowa State, but it looks to

397
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: me like that's been the biggest move of all the

398
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen games, Right, is that accurate? Iowa stayed opened

399
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: is a favorite I think market wide, and now it's

400
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: Miami two two and a half. Yeah, correct, again, not

401
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: surprised here, Uh, you know if my Miami should be

402
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: favored right off the back. I mean, look defense to

403
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Iowa State and UH coach T. J. Altzelberger, former coach

404
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: of the run Rebels out here in Vegas. UH, They're

405
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: just Miami seems to be able in my opinion, you know,

406
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: to win both ways. They can win a high scoring game,

407
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: they can defend. I think they're very tough in physical

408
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Jim Laranage obviously a great coach. Mcgusty is a great player.

409
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: I just think the view and I was stayed is

410
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're just not flashy. They just don't have

411
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: that wild factor for a lot of people. But they

412
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: do play solid defense. They play in one of the

413
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: best conference is in the country in the Big Twelve.

414
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: Every night is a battle, so you would think if

415
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna win and they got to keep the score low.

416
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: But Miami seems more versatile in my opinion, so I'm

417
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: not surprised that the line is shifted in their favor.

418
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm in a Calcutta and we we've been on Kansas UH,

419
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of nervous people in our group. UM,

420
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: because the line moved on this one. But money on

421
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: Providence is that that like a five figure bet on

422
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: Providence that moved the line? Like, well, how does that happen?

423
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: What are people seeing here? Well? Look, Providence is a

424
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: tough team. I mean, I know a lot of people

425
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: are sort of Look, they're only a two two and

426
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: a half point favor in the opening around against South

427
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Dakota State, So I think that shows maybe they don't

428
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: have as many believers. But I'm a believer in Providence.

429
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm believer in Ed Cooley. Uh. You know, look, Kansas

430
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: struggled against the Creton team that even though Craton blew

431
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: out Providence in the Big East Tournament, I think Providences

432
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: live here and it certainly wouldn't surprise me for them

433
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: to get the W. I mean, yeah, no, not at all.

434
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean they're physical again, very tough and uh you

435
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: look Kansas. Uh, if they can get played down the

436
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: wire by Craton, there's no reason why Providence can't pull

437
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: off and upset here. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

438
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 1: But interesting I will. But there's not much on produce

439
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: a Peter's. I don't think anybody gives St. Peter's a chance.

440
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: I am curious, is there and what's the largest bet

441
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: you've taken on any of these games so far in

442
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: this Week sixteen, if you can divulge at generally divulgeent.

443
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: But we've taken a lot of large five figure wagers. Uh,

444
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: but you know more it's going to come in as

445
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: as we get to tomorrow. In the twenty four hours

446
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: preceding the games, that's when all the big money usually

447
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: comes in. So I'm sure we'll see some six figure

448
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: beats and plenty of them tomorrow on the games. So

449
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: uh yeah, there there's uh, it'll come. It just usually

450
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: waits till the last twenty four hours and right up

451
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: to game time. What's Caesar's biggest liability? Um, if they

452
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: were to win the championship, Well, the Peacocks are now

453
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: the biggest lie. Not surprising, not surprising. Look, when you

454
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: offer that high of odds and the public takes to

455
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: to the Cinderella teams and there's no greater story than St. Peter's.

456
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: Uh you know, this same thing happen last year in

457
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: Oral Roberts got to this Week six team. We stood

458
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: the loosing time if or robbers. But look, people, you

459
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: know that little money, that little money adds up. But

460
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: there's no, we agree there's zero chance they win the

461
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: champion none, not one chance. I agree, it's very minimal,

462
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: but does when you're asking about liability. St. Peter's is

463
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: the only liability that we have right now. We're in

464
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: a good we're in a good position with the futures

465
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: overall and what's happened so from the tournament. Yeah, but look,

466
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: just those little odds, you know, we're giving out two

467
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: hundred and one, Those those twenty dollars and fifty dollars

468
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: ad up quickly. I don't think they're going to win

469
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: obviously the national championship. But when you ask about liability, St.

470
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: Peter's is the big liability, and it's probably the same

471
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: for a lot of people jump on the Cinderella Cinderella story.

472
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious, what is North Carolina right now? Have you

473
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: taken anything on them? Yeah, they're yeah, they're drawing action

474
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: to I mean, look, people saw that they did against Baylor. Uh,

475
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: played very impressively and and look they're they're peaking at

476
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: the right time. So uh, and you have a their

477
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina obviously a blue bland, and have that public notoriety.

478
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: So I just wonder, what the what the Hawk is injury.

479
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, if he's let's say, I mean North Carolina

480
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: is probably what in the game he's he's super important.

481
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: And then you play a Purdue team that doesn't really

482
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: defend and can be hot and cold and Matt paint

483
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: and we know he's choked a lot in March. Um,

484
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't think North Carolina is a bad one at one. No, no,

485
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I Look again, wouldn't be surprised

486
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: to see them get to the final four. Done't necessarily

487
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: think you can win at all, but look, anything is possible.

488
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: They're playing their best basketball right now. They seem to

489
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: really jelled. And what they did to Bailory know obviously

490
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: once Mannick went out to you know everything, you know

491
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: when Haywire form, but they held on. It shows a

492
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 1: lot that they held on to get to win. When

493
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people have said, going into overtime, all right,

494
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: they're done, and they didn't. They responded, uh, but again, yes,

495
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: the Hawk is injury and and going produce. Definitely a

496
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: beautiful team for them. So look, the parody is evident.

497
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: It's been that way of the whole year. So many

498
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: good teams, and that wouldn't surprise me for North Carolina,

499
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, to get to New Orleans. Will wrap up

500
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: with this one out of who was the team you

501
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: changed most after the first two rounds their futures uh

502
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: pre tournament after the I guess pre first round two? Now,

503
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: who has been adjusted the most? Well, North Carolina has

504
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: probably been one because obviously, you know, they had to

505
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: go through Baylor. They did get there, they did get

506
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: past Baylor, so their odd shifted quite a bit. All

507
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: the teams of you know, the Iowa States and the

508
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: Miami Florida, those teams that were you know, you know,

509
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: decent triple digit odds have now come down obviously, so uh,

510
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: the teams that weren't expected to be there, those are

511
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: always going to be the ones whose odds have the

512
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: more drastic shifts. And then Kentucky getting knocked out helps

513
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Carolina as well. Um. Interesting, all right, Adam, Hey, great stuff,
