1 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: Sixteen sixteen times. That's how many times I puked my 2 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: guts out last Saturday night. No voice, just rip the 3 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: vocal cords. Is the voice back? Of course it's not 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: listened to me. I sound very, very wrong. But we 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: can't go on entire week without having shows. We got 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: far too much to talk about. We're high on top 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: of jam packed and still recovering downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: is late kick and we've got scandal all over the 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: place Michigan. As are they in trouble? I don't know. 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it though. I've also got 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: because we weren't here Tuesday, full week ten predictions on 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: the show. We've got several best bets to add onto 13 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: the show. I've got upset alerts to talk about as 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: we do on Thursday night. Hey, it's good to be back. 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: Maybe not all the way back, but it's good to 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: be back. Appreciate the like trillions of you who checked 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: in on me. Big week Ahead, Big week Ahead. We're 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: headed to Tuscaloosa. The once upon a Saturday tour is 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: headed just down I sixty five to LSU, Alabama. Will 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: be on the sidelines in Bryant, Denny Stadium Saturday night, 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: which reminds me they're watching us in Alabaster, Alabama, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Lawrence, Kansas, 22 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: and Saint Paul, Minnesota. Friday Night Lines is a go 23 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: for tomorrow night somewhere in some hotel in Tuscaloose. Who knows. 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll walk outside and do it. But brought to 25 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: you by FanDuel, proudly brought to you by FanDuel, the 26 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: Friday Night Lines. I think we'll add several more. I 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: know we'll at least add some more action onto the 28 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: Raminal Express tomorrow night. So you gotta be following on 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: Instagram at late kick, Josh, you gotta be following there. 30 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: I'll give you a heads up. We'll go live tomorrow 31 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: night sometimes. So here we go. I haven't said a 32 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: word about this all week because I haven't said a 33 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: word all week. Like literally, this is first time I've 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: talked all week. Let's get into it, though. This stuff 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: with Michigan's Wild just kind of watched an unfold in 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: silence all throughout the week. Last time you and I 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: spoke was what last Thursday. I guess it's been a 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: week now. But Peate State Investigates has been on this 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: and I think probably one of the worst things for 40 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: Michigan has been I lost my voice, which gave me 41 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: a ton of free time on my hands. And when 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: I have free time on my hands, I just start 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: digging and lo and behold. You know, we got news 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: breaking all over the place. And this time last week, 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: sure enough, we knew who Connor Stallions was. We knew 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: that he had been involved in some signs stealing, but 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: mean we were talking about him buying tickets to folks 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: for games. We were tracking his Venmo receipts. We weren't 49 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: looking at the Central Michigan sideline. And I know most 50 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: of you don't need a refresher on this, but I'll 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: pretend like there's someone out there who only watches this 52 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: show and it's your only connection to college football. This 53 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: dude was on the sideline for Central Michigan scouting future 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: Michigan opponents. And I'm not using the word allegedly because 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: I fully believe that's him. Now Pete State Investigates, which 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: is a brand new investigative unit that was launched. By 57 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: the time I lost my voice last week, Trademark Pending 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: had acquired some video and I posted it right there 59 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: on my Twitter account for the world to see. If 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: you're listening on podcasts that we believe is Connor Stallion's 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: on the sideline there. This is Week one. Week one 62 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: game kicked off at seven pm. This is nearing halftime, 63 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: and my man's still over. There were in shades, which 64 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: is your first indication something's wrong. But then if you 65 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: look closer, there was a blue dot in the top 66 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: what left hand corner of those glasses is probably recording 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: video down there too, And so not only are you 68 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: going to the stands to do it, you're just finding 69 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: your way on the sideline. And a lot of people 70 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: have had a lot of thoughts about that and come 71 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: to find out there was a call. There was a 72 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: call last night. Pete Fammeill reported late late late last night, 73 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: and Bruce Feldman and some have backed it up today 74 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: with reporting that the Big ten coaches finally had enough 75 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: and got on their respective communicative devices and they wanted 76 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: to talk to their leader, they wanted to talk to 77 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: their commissioner, they wanted to talk to Tony Petiti, and 78 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: they did and there was an entire alleged according to 79 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: Pete Thamil, an entire meeting, and then Harball had to 80 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: hop off because they wanted to talk about Jim Harbaugh. 81 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: And where else would you talk about someone aside from 82 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: behind their back. Big believer in that myself. That's how 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: I handle business with Jesse all the time. And so 84 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Pete them will put up the quote, by the way, 85 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: if you have it, Jesse and Colin. So in the 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: Pete Thamil's story, there was a whole lot. It's on 87 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: ESPN dot com, but this stood out to me in particular. 88 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: Quote according to five sources familiar with the call, Notice 89 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: he didn't say according to five coaches on the call, 90 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: that's left to interpretation. He said. According to five sources 91 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: familiar with the call, a chorus of voices encouraged Petit 92 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: to take action against Michigan in a call that was 93 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: described as both intense and emotional. I bet it was, 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: he continues, Collectively, the coaches want the Big ten to 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: act right now. Set a source familiar with the call, quote, 96 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: what are we waiting on? We know what happened. So 97 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: that was the call last night. What you think is 98 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: going to happen? That's the big question today. I think 99 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman did a really good job with the athletic 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: today of sort of further gathering and aggregating different opinions 101 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: from around the Big Ten coaches. I told you guys 102 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Coaches have been willing to talk about 103 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: this behind the scenes. I've had them talking to me 104 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: for the better part of two weeks about this. They're 105 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: not going to go on the record. I wouldn't either 106 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: if I were them in the middle of a season. 107 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: I think come season's end, you'll probably see a lot 108 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: more guys willing to put their name behind some of 109 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: their quotes or as we call it, going full Nardoozi 110 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: on you. But right now they're not going to do that. 111 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: I told you I also thought that College Football Playoff 112 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: held a really important key in this whole equation. We 113 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: knew the NCAA wasn't going to do anything in time, 114 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: and they're not going to do anything in time. I 115 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: think everyone understood that, So that investigation is ongoing. I 116 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: told you last week I said if I were Michigan, 117 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: I'd be a lot more worried about the Big Ten 118 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: and the College Football Playoff because I wondered what the 119 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: College Football Playoff would look at this, and think, well, 120 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: the college football playoff looked and said, not our problem. 121 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Big ten coaches heard that, and I think that precipitated 122 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: the phone call last night because they know their last 123 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: recourse to pop Michigan this year before they benefit and 124 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: have what many perceived to be ill gotten gains this year, 125 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: is their own conference. They're doing exactly what I would do. 126 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I don't blame any of them. I don't think most 127 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: of you do either. You have wrongdoing, and you know 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: there's only one entity you can go to, and it 129 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: happens to be the principal. You go to the principal's office. 130 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: But I will tell you this, they've talked to a 131 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: lot of people today about this. I don't I don't 132 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: think they're going to get what they want. I certainly 133 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: don't think action is going to be taken. You got 134 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: to understand, as much as I agree with you guys, 135 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: as much as I would have done what you did, 136 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: think about what you're asking. Now. You're going to essentially 137 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: the owner of the biggest charter fishing company on the 138 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: biggest lake in town, and you're telling him something's wrong 139 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: with the water. We want you to drain this lake. 140 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: You may be right, he may believe you. He may 141 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: listen to you, and he may even take some measures 142 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: to go find what's wrong with the water. But brother, 143 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: he ain't draining the lake. He's not draining the lake 144 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: because that hurts his business. Business, by the way, is 145 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: what this always will be about. Because you took a 146 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: guy out of the television world, like so many are 147 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: doing these days, and you inserted him as your conference commissioner, 148 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: and a guy from the TV world is worried about 149 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: a TV product, And if you harm Michigan, you are 150 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: harming a TV product. This may not seem right to you, 151 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: it may not seem just or ethically sound, but I 152 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: think it just is. Big ten coaches are right. Big 153 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: ten coaches are right to be outraged by it. I 154 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: told you I think last Sundays meant so long since 155 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: we talked, I told you I had a bunch of 156 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: them hitting me up behind the scenes, to where when 157 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: people were saying publicly, notice how coaches aren't making a 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: big deal about this, I knew to call bs on it. 159 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: Coaches were making a big deal about it. They are 160 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: making a big deal about it. Everyone doesn't do this 161 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: to this degree, at least it's not legal. Nothing about 162 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: it's right, So they're right to be outraged. They are 163 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: right to say it gave them a discernible competitive advantage, 164 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: their right to not want to play them, not out 165 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: of fear. People aren't scared of you, at least the 166 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: Penn State's Ohio States are not scared of you. But 167 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: at the same time, they're not saying anything you wouldn't 168 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: say if the shoe were on the Columbus foot or 169 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: the State College foot. And I think everyone outside of 170 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: this knows that. But just because you guys are right, 171 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna get what you want. Because I'm right. 172 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: I think I'm right in saying that you are not 173 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: going to detrimentally harm a television product when you still 174 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: got Michigan Penn State on the docket next week, when 175 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: you still got Ohio State at Michigan towards the end 176 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: of the year, you're not harming it. You're just not 177 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: gonna do it. If it does happen, hopefully I'll have 178 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: more of a voice by then and I'll come here 179 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: and I'll eat whatever flavor crow you want to serve me. 180 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even have a problem with it. But I'm 181 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: just telling you, I don't think it's going to happen 182 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: that way. I'll even say this, Michigan fans have felt 183 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: like they don't have a voice in this. You guys 184 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: have had plenty of voice. I've heard you loud and clear, 185 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: and I'll meet you here. You're outside your mind when 186 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: you defend this, dude. You're outside your mind when you 187 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: tell me Jim Harbaugh didn't know or shouldn't have known 188 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: that stuff is. You can miss me with all that 189 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: You're insane if you truly believe that, or want me to. 190 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: At least you can believe whatever you want to believe. 191 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: But Michigan fans do have sort of a misguided leg 192 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: to stand on here. And I'll tell you why. There's 193 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: been too much false reporting around this at the outset 194 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: of it that's given them some anecdotal ammunition to use. 195 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: It's valid. They're not wrong, guys. They're not wrong when 196 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: they look back last week and say, hey, where did 197 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: all those reports about Harball's rescinded contract go? They disappeared 198 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: because they weren't true. They got it wrong. National media 199 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: types got it wrong. And they're right to say, hey, 200 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: what about all these investigative bodies that were physically on 201 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: campus last week. Whatever came of that nothing because they 202 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: were wrong. Some of the same folks carrying that same 203 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: national platform, that same national pen and microphone right now 204 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: that reported that were wrong. And so when Michigan folks 205 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: look and say it seems like folks have an axe 206 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: to grind against us, they're right. When Michigan folks look 207 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: and say, man, there's certain there's certain apparati plural of apparatus, 208 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: there's certain apparati here in the national media spherees seemed 209 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: like they're out to get us, maybe even entire networks 210 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: that seem like they're not too pleased with us. I 211 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: don't think you're wrong. I do not think you're wrong. However, 212 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm the horse with the race blinders on right now. 213 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Connor Stallion's I'm looking at the fact 214 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: that he was an integral part of your operation. I'm 215 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: looking at the sudden hockey stick effect of your program 216 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years when seemingly nothing else changed. 217 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: I think our buddies Ax Smith had a good point 218 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: about that the other day, and I know how much 219 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: you guys in ann Arbor value his opinion. By the 220 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: way you don't have to tell me. I know how 221 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: much you guys love him, but listen. I had an 222 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: ample free time this week, so I listen to everyone's show, 223 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: including his, and I thought he made a good point 224 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: about that when people look at this year, maybe even 225 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: last year, no one's looking at this as a legitimate 226 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: season for Michigan outside of Michigan. Now, if I was 227 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: a Michigan fan, I wouldn't much care about that, but 228 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: I am. You know, I'm doing a national show. Maybe 229 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: Michigan colors behind me right now, I'm doing a national show. 230 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: You'll never erase the asterisks that's around this season, come 231 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: what may. If it's a allowed to sail, if it's 232 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: allowed to stand, it'll stand. But it'll stand a lot 233 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: like you know, some of the impressive offensive numbers from 234 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: the early two thousands in Major League Baseball put up 235 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: by guys still not in the Hall of Fame. You 236 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: know why they're not in the Hall of Fame. I 237 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: know why they're not in the Hall of Fame. There 238 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: is no evidence on a piece of paper that backs 239 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: up what you and I think. Actually, i'd put him 240 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: in if it were up to me, But you get 241 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: the point. I'm making there's nothing you can do about that. 242 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Jim Harball, if you're a too, you got to do 243 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: one of two things. You've either got to tell me 244 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: that that guy is one of the sharpest tools in 245 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: the drawer and he runs a first class operation and 246 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: he is sharp and has his hands on every aspect 247 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: of the operation to make sure it maintains its sharpness, 248 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: or you got to tell me he's an idiot, because 249 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: what you can't do is you can't tell me no, no, no. 250 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: All the first things were true, except he had no 251 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: clue who this dude was, or if he knew who 252 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: he was, he had no clue what he was doing. 253 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, right there in the coach's box on the sideline, 254 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: this coordinator's ears. You're not selling me on that. I 255 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: don't think you're selling most people with an IQ above 256 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: room temperature, which is the temperature that's water next to 257 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: me right here, I don't think you're selling anyone on that. 258 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a shame all the way around. 259 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: I don't think there's an easy answer. I know, if 260 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: I was a Big ten coach, the easy answer would 261 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: be disqualify. But if I'm Tony Petiti, I'm not going 262 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: to be a hypocrite here. I'm telling you, if I 263 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: were Tony Petiti, it's not that easy. And I would 264 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: guess he's going to err on the side of what 265 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: I just suggested. I'm not going to make a move 266 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: on this in lou Let me put it this way, 267 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: in lieu of many, many more damning facts coming out now, 268 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: in the way of new facts coming out, Peate State 269 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: Investigates is not ready to drop a new bombshell tonight. 270 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: But Peate State Investigates does have many irons in the 271 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: fire right now, and I would just ask, open endedly, 272 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: are we really sure that the Central Michigan Michigan State 273 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: game is the only game that mister Stallions found his 274 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: way onto the sideline for not necessarily even talking about 275 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: games that happen in twenty twenty three. Either, we move on. 276 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: You know, it's Thursday. We don't normally predict a ton 277 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: of games on Thursday, and maybe a couple, but since 278 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: I have been on the mend, as it were, over 279 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,359 Speaker 1: the past couple of shows, we haven't even done predictions. 280 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: What are we right now? We're about forty eight hours 281 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: away from a Monster game in Tuscaloosa, and we haven't 282 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: picked it yet, so Colin Jaesse, you know what we 283 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: should do. We should pick the thing. Now. I have 284 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: some warm water here and I'm going to use to 285 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: coat the throat, coat the voice. So I'll make it 286 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: through this so that Colin can clip it later. But 287 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm fired up for this one. LSU Alabama Prime time, 288 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: Bryant Denny Stadium, seven forty five Eastern on CBS. It's 289 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: the double header, but it is the game of the 290 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: week within the games of the week, college football playoff game. Again, 291 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: don't let them tell you it's not. We got the 292 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: once upon a Saturday tour in town. I'll be on 293 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: the sidelines, front and center for this game. It is 294 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: going to be lively, to say the least in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. 295 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: And speaking of lively, I heard some debate or what 296 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: some would call debate earlier today, and the debate was this, 297 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: if LSU runs the table, do they go to the playoff? 298 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: My answer is yeah, yeah. I alwa's use playoff hopes 299 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: are very much alive. And the reason is because I'm 300 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: still a believer we could have a two loss team 301 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: in the playoff. And if you tell me there's a 302 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: two loss team out there that's an SEC champion, which 303 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: they would be in this scenario, and they went into 304 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama and then maybe they beat Georgia 305 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, you're going to keep them out. But because 306 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: they sacked up and scheduled a big marquee out of 307 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: conference opponent instead of doubling up on cupcakes the season, No, 308 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. The odds presented by 309 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: FanDuel on this game right now Alabama minus three. Bama 310 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: was a bigger favorite in the twenty nineteen game at home, 311 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: which your boy was also at and one day I'll 312 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: tell you a story about that game. But it is 313 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: a statute of limitation situation for me right now, especially 314 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: with secret service, so I can't get into it. I think, 315 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: oh about ten people watching know the story. I'll tell 316 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: you one day. This is gonna be what MEMA would 317 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: call a chunk play special Bama, kind of a pre 318 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: paper popper here. Bama is ninth in past plays of 319 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: forty plus yards this season, so it's very obvious what 320 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: their game plan is. They've just been able to execute it. 321 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: Even in the A and M game, they were able 322 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: to execute it LSU. The reason I bring this up, 323 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: LSU is ninety second in those plays allowed, and they're 324 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: down dbs. Like defensive back is a very vulnerable position 325 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: and that was already vulnerable before absences for LSU. So everybody, 326 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: including LSU fans, are looking at this game saying, oh 327 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: my goodness, man, what are they going to do? Like 328 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: up top, what are they going to do? Well, the 329 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: answer is probably get abused a little bit. That's probably 330 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Here's what's more interesting to me 331 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: as you start to try and map out the path 332 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: for Alabama in this game, like how will they go 333 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: about things? Because you think, well, Milroe's really good throwing 334 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: the deep ball. LSU looks very vulnerable in the back end, 335 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: but LSU's also eighty eight. Then run defense, and if 336 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: you talk about trying to limit possessions, if you talk 337 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: about maybe having Jaylen Daniels on the field, Jaydon Daniels 338 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: on the field, a couple of less possessions per game, well, 339 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: the t run in the ball Bama had been all 340 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: that great at it. I would say they've been improving, 341 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: especially when you incorporate some of the option principles that 342 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: they've done as of late with Milroe, and I would 343 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: imagine also when it comes to self scouting and using 344 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: the bye week properly, they had to have gotten inside 345 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: that film room and looked and said, this gives us 346 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: the best chance to win. We got to use his 347 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: legs more creatively. I think they will, which begs the question, 348 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: how effectively does VAMA run the ball? I think they can. 349 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: They'll torch LSU to some degree if they don't run 350 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: the ball effectively. If they do run the ball effectively, 351 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: at Alabama can score fifty points in this game, and 352 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: that's not the kind of Bama team this is this year. 353 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: But if they can do both those things effectively, Beggs 354 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: score have one hundred in this game, because that's how 355 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: vulnerable LSU is on the back end. Right now, What 356 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: does LSU do on defense? Then? Because I said the 357 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: lines three not thirty, this is home field advantage. Basically 358 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: Vegas looking telling you these are evenly matched teams. By 359 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: the way, Jpeepole has had LSU steadily climbing. We've got them. 360 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: What do we have in Jesse? Like seven or eight 361 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: this week? And people have been asking how how oddsmakers 362 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: are backing us up. You think the folks at fan 363 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Duel are putting LSU plus three in Tuscaloosa if they 364 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: don't leave, they're one of the ten best teams in 365 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: the country too. Either that or they think Bama sucks. 366 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: And I can promise you from an odds making perspective, 367 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: no one thinks Alabama sucks. So what is LSU do 368 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: on defense? They're depleted in the secondary. We just talked 369 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: about that. They got to go after Jaln Milroe. They 370 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: got to do what A and M did. Basically, they're 371 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: just not as equipped to do it, or the numbers 372 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: say they're not as equipped to do it. Uls you 373 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: is what are they ninety ninth? Jesse can't read myintal handwriting. 374 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: They ninety ninth in sacks this year? Irrelevant this game, 375 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: It's got to be irrelevant. It's my point. You've got 376 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: to sort of invert some of your stat profiles. You've 377 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: got to go after him. You may have to use 378 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: your defensive personnel in different ways than you've done this 379 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: year to go after him, because what you cannot do 380 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: is you can't just drop into coverage. You can't allow 381 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: him to pick you apart. He will most quarterbacks in 382 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: the country would pick this secondary apart right now. Milroe 383 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: absolutely can. He just has the added weapon and added 384 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: dimension of the fact that he's a freight train. When 385 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: he gets a loose running the ball, you got to 386 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: roll the dice. Now. The response to that is, well, Josh, 387 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: if they roll the dice like that, man, it's gonna 388 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: open them up to big plays. Maybe they'll get home, 389 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: maybe they'll sack them a couple of times, but they're 390 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna open themselves up to some big plays. They're open 391 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: to it anyway. Yeah, I understand what I'm saying. This 392 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: is not gonna be fool proof. You'll give up some explosives. 393 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna give them up anyway. Can you get something 394 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: in exchange. That's got to be the proposition for LSU defensively. 395 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking about maybe when you sack him one time 396 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: he doesn't hold onto the ball, maybe you force him 397 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: or tip a ball and it lands in your hands 398 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: instead of Alabama's. You can score. See A and M 399 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: couldn't so A and M. They got to Milroe, they 400 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: pressured him, they got some sacks, they forced to turn over. 401 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: They couldn't take advantage. And that's why BAMA scoring in 402 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: the load to mid twenties was enough. That shouldn't be 403 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: enough to beat you. So you can take your chances 404 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: a little bit here. If you're LSU, the winner of 405 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: this game, whoever it is, I think is gonna win 406 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: because they're doing that November Engine rev. Either one of 407 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: these teams is a capable of win a national title 408 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: or capable of competing for it. Let me say they're 409 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: capable of being in the playoff because LSU's got maybe 410 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: the best offense in the country, one of the very 411 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: best Bama complimentary style plays, a good enough brand of 412 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: ball to get in the playoff that they can personnel 413 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: wise match up with anybody in the country. And you 414 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: probably will see a level of play in this game 415 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: from the winner, whoever it is, that is above and 416 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: beyond what we've seen from him so far this year. 417 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: So by default, I think you've got a playoff contender 418 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: coming out of this game. Late season momentum is a 419 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: big deal. Tell you what else would be a big 420 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: deal if they win this game. Daniels is a Heisman 421 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: possible front runner. The odds right now have him up there. 422 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: I think everyone's been waiting on this game for Jade 423 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: and Daniels. Everyone's been looking at this one saying, can 424 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: you do in Tuscaloosa what Joe Burrow did? Because look 425 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: as serious as the country was already taken Burrow in 426 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, everyone had a yeh butt and it was yeah, 427 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: but what's he gonna do when he plays Alabama? I 428 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: think they had thirty three on the board at the 429 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: half something like that. He made his name that Saturday afternoon. 430 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: Will we see mister Daniels make his name Saturday afternoon? 431 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: And on the flip side, this right here is the 432 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: kind of game Kevin steels at Alabama for the kind 433 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: of attitude you have to have defensively, the willingness to 434 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: get right back up when you get hit, because they're 435 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: going to hit you a few times. You got to 436 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: be relentless. You got to have a memory that's about 437 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: five milliseconds deep when they hit you with that big 438 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: play right back line of scrimmage, No, no head hung 439 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: and you got to just keep competing and keep swinging 440 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,239 Speaker 1: cause you're good enough defensively to where you'll win some 441 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: of those exchanges. They didn't had that last couple of 442 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: years when they needed to Kevin Steeles had a different 443 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: attitude in that defense so far this year. All right, 444 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: let's take a look at what the Vegas number is 445 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: at FanDuel, which I said is Alabama minus three. The 446 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: model actually leans Alabama more heavily. I've known this was 447 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: coming for a couple of weeks because I've been in 448 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: the game simulated style for a couple of weeks. I 449 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: actually I like Alabama in this game. I like them 450 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: above and beyond the three. I think the model's right. 451 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: I am so spicy on that that not only am 452 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: I going to pick Alabama to win and cover, We're 453 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: actually adding it on the Raman Noodle Express. We're gonna 454 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: make it a best bet. So Alabama wins, Alabama covers 455 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: and we are going to add it on the Rama 456 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: Noodle Express. And if I'm right, then I think they 457 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: are obviously in the driver's seat to go to Atlanta 458 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: and maybe beyond. We'll see what happens if they get there. 459 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: But if I'm wrong, if I'm wrong, LSU becomes the 460 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: most fascinating case study in America. We've never had one 461 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: of those two lost teams in the playoff. You think 462 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: anyone in Athens Georgia would be looking at that defense 463 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: or at that offense and can't wait to play them. 464 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: Is the team in Athens, Georgia the one they would 465 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: play in the SEC Championship game if you got there, 466 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: you know a lot of questions that still remain. That 467 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: is why, as Mimo always taught me, God invented November. 468 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: But remember, I haven't gotten to tell you this week. 469 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: The week ten, once upon a Saturday Tour T shirt 470 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: is available. Paytstatematerial dot com. It's ready, it's waiting for you. 471 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: This shirt will no longer be available as of Saturday night. 472 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: So it's it's first come, first serve, and we always 473 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: do really really well when we go to Alabama. I 474 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: expect this to be no different. It is. It is 475 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: wonderful quality. I have gotten nothing but positive feedback on 476 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: the quality of those shirts. They feel good, man, they 477 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: feel really good. You'll probably end up probably end up 478 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: wearing that to family reunion and church. Some of you 479 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: may appear in court wearing that shirt. I don't care. 480 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: We want representation regardless, and we thank you for it. 481 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: So it's just talking about the SEC Championship Game a 482 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: second ago. I want to send you there and I 483 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: myself don't have tickets in front of me right now, 484 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: but Academy Sports Outdoors does, and they also have just 485 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: copious amounts of gear that you should be picking up 486 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: this time of year. But a ten thousand dollars Academy 487 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: gift card and two tickets to the SEC Championship game, 488 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: they got them. They got them right now, they're yours. 489 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: Someone's gonna win these things. All you got to do 490 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: is sign into the Academy app. That's it. That's all 491 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: you have to do. There's no further requirement. You just 492 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: have to sign into the Academy App. It's the Ultimate 493 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: SEC Football Sweepstakes. It ends November eighteenth. It's approaching kids. 494 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: No purchase necessary. By the way, it is not not 495 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: available in Hawaii, Alaska, California, and New York, so four 496 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: apologies there full rules Academy dot Com backslash official rules. 497 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: Get in on that, because I want whoever wins that 498 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: to be in our audience, and I at that point 499 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: would probably take some of the credit. Don't need the 500 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 1: money and don't need the ticket will probably be there regardless, 501 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: But I just I thrive on credit. Credit score around 502 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: here is at an all time high right now, Okay, 503 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: let's continue. You've got more games to predict. We got 504 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: upset alerts to get to. If you're tuning in late welcome. 505 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: I know we started at a little different time than normal. 506 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: Whole week's been different than normal. Got about I would say, Colin, 507 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: what would you say that you've known me as long 508 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: as I've been here? Sixty five percent of my voice 509 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: maybe seventy I don't know. Food poisoning struck me down 510 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: in my prime last week, and because of the symptoms 511 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: that come along with food poisoning, I ripped my vocal 512 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: cords and they're still not healed. But we're not missing 513 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: shows three times in a row. We'd never missed one period. 514 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: Now we did two in a row, not three in 515 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: a row. Okay, let's dive into this game. Missouri at 516 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: Georgia is the early leg of the CBS doubleheader Saturday. 517 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: It's three thirty Eastern kickoff there in Athens. It's a 518 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Blessing's bowl. I would call this the Blome Blessing's Bold 519 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: Blessing Number one. Eli Drinkwitz is sitting there seven and one. 520 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: Destiny in hand, I mean all of it. Playoff Destiny 521 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: included SEC Championship destiny in November in Columbia, Missouri is 522 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: still in hand. So how about that. That's a blessing. 523 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: Number two. You may not believe me on this. This 524 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: is a blessing for Kirby Smart as well, because he 525 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: gets meet to feed his team. Now, there's a misnomer 526 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: out there that coaches want the easiest, easiest path possible 527 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: to know whatever their end goal is. Now competitors don't 528 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: think that way. Actually, they love the challenge. They love 529 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: it and embrace it. And Kirby Smart can all. He 530 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: wants to sit there at media days and say we're 531 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: going to play this season out regardless. It doesn't matter 532 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: who's on the opponent or on the schedule. It has 533 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: mattered the whole time. He's been livid about it. He 534 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: hated how soft their schedule looked. He just never admitted 535 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: to you. I'm admitting it for him. It doesn't matter. 536 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: Now it's not so soft anymore. Immunity, you had Kentucky 537 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: top twenty when they came in there, you hung half 538 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: a hundred on them. Coincidentally, you had Florida last week 539 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: and that began a stretch of Florida and then Missouri 540 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: Ole Miss Tennessee all top twenty, and it just didn't 541 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: look like that was going to be the case preseason. 542 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: So don't judge a schedule at least in penn in August. 543 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: That's the first lesson. And it's a blessing for Kirby 544 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: Smart because you get the best out of your organization. 545 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: Maybe not you. I don't think Kirby Smart needs a 546 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: ranked opponent to get up, but he also knows not 547 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: everyone's wired exactly like him, and so it helps. This 548 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: is meat, red meat. The toss in there. It helps. 549 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: And number three in the Blessings Bowl pecking order here 550 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: season ticket holders for Georgia because this was a woolf 551 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: line of games preseason. And I don't know if you 552 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: guys have ever won back to back national championships before. 553 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: Probably not, But let me tell you what happens to 554 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: season ticket prices when you do, they go that way, 555 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: they go up. And if you're asking me to shell 556 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: out that kind of dough for U. T. Martin Ball's 557 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: Tate UAB Kentucky Vandy, Missouri, Ole Miss. Not all those 558 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: games were even at home. By the way, I'm gonna say, 559 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: are you serious? And then they're gonna say yeah, if 560 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: you get out of line, though, you miss out for 561 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: the rest of eternity, and so you just shell out 562 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: the money, but you hate it. Well, now all of 563 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, you got ranked matchups, multiple that we didn't 564 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: know were possible. So it's a blessings Bowl. But I'll 565 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: tell you what it could be. Also could be a 566 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: chaos moment in the SEC East because I don't know 567 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: if you realize this, but Missouri could win this game. 568 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone's told anyone. FanDuel current number 569 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: there at Georgia minus fifteen and a half, not fifty 570 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: and a half. So it may be unlikely, but it's possible. 571 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: And if that were to happen, and Missouri led this 572 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: game by ten with nine minutes to go in regulation 573 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: last year, if that were to happen, I cannot in 574 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: strong enough terms state how chaotic the world would become 575 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: because Missouri would then be in the driver's seat to 576 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 1: go to Atlanta because of what happened one afternoon. They 577 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: would have Jesse. What's their remaining schedule? Did you tell me? Now? 578 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: They got Florida left, They've got I think Tennessee left. 579 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: So we'll look at their schedule in a second, I 580 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: probably should have run that by you. They've got Tennessee, 581 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: Florida and Arkansas left. They would be in the driver's seat. 582 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: And remember Georgia would need them to lose another game. 583 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: They do have one conference loss, but they'd have the 584 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: tiebreaker at that point. So anyway, it would be very 585 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: interesting because Georgia would still have a trip to Nieland 586 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Stadium on their hands as well. Oh, by the way, 587 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: this would be interesting for Tennessee as what. So a 588 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: lot rides on this. If you want chaos root for Missouri, 589 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: I will tell you this. It's going to be an 590 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: uphill battle for Missouri. And when we have big points spreads, 591 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,239 Speaker 1: we like to ask how would the upset happen on 592 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: this show? So you've number one, got three, yeah, three 593 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: things Missouri needs to do. Number one, you would need 594 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: to invert your defensive profile. You're twenty seventh against the 595 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: run and sixty third against the pass right now, and 596 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: you are catching one of the hottest quarterbacks in the country. Now, 597 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: I think that goes hand in hand with what number 598 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: two is. And to me, you've also got to invert 599 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: your turnover tendencies. So history in this particular spot sometimes says, 600 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: when you got a first year starter at quarterback who's 601 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: really heating up, there's just one total egg that's coming 602 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: because there's there's over confidence that creeps in the room 603 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: and he starts seeing windows that are maybe a little 604 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: bit bigger than they actually are, and you have a 605 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: turnover game and it's actually his premium confidence that is 606 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: being used against him. If you dial up the right 607 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: defensive game plan, that's what history generically says could happen here. 608 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: But here's the problem. Georgia don't do it. They just 609 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over. And it's not by accident. 610 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: It's not even a huge luck thing. This year, Mike 611 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: Bobo just puts us guys in really high percentage positions 612 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: and Carson Beck knows not to make catastrophic mistakes. So 613 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,719 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but they don't do it. 614 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: And you're one hundred and seventh in the country at 615 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: forcing it. That's got to invert number three. You've got 616 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: to invert your third down profile. Missouri's offense is sixtieth 617 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: in the country at third down conversion rate. George's defense 618 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: is the best in America at that. Georgia's offense is 619 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: third best in America at that and Missouri's defense is 620 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: sixty second in America at that. So a lot of 621 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: inversion has to happen. Kind of a meteorological term. It's 622 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: what we're looking at in winter sometimes to ignite that 623 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: wintry precipitation, we need some inversion. Well, I go back 624 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: to last year. Not that this game means anything in 625 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: terms of this year. It may even grab George's attention, 626 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: but I go back to last year, and I was 627 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: in the Rose Bowl, of all places, looking after my 628 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: stuff so it didn't get stolen. I was in the 629 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: no I loved the Rose Bowl, but an unfortunate thing 630 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: happened there last week. We'll talk about it later. I 631 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: was in the Rose Bowl last year, and I was 632 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: nice and warm because it was southern California late in 633 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: the year. And I'm watching on a side monitor, watching 634 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: Jenny Dell just shake and freeze, interviewing Kirby Smart After 635 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: somehow they just pulled that game out. They were down 636 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: ten with nine minutes to go. I mean, people just 637 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: forget about that totally because you remember Georgia's run last year. 638 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: Anytime someone wins a national championship. The revisionist history version is, 639 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: oh dude, they just salted the earth. It was just 640 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: a death march all year. They do this with the 641 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: one Miami team a lot. Well, that's not exactly how 642 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: it happened. Last year, Missouri had him down two possessions 643 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter, but Georgia came back and won. 644 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: And I remember thinking that day, who could have ever 645 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: seen this? It makes no sense, like, where did this 646 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: come from? It's football. That's why I, despite what this 647 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: paper says, I'm gonna insist they go ahead and play 648 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: the game. And last year Missouri had six scoring drives 649 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: and five of them were field goals. What if they 650 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: just do that with Georgia. What if they just force 651 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: field goals? It's now guarantee of anything. Georgia may shut 652 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: you out, but it gives you a fighting chance. Let's 653 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: take a look at what the model thinks, Colin Wright. 654 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: Now Fan Duel has Georgia minus fifteen and a half. 655 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: That totals in the mid fifties. I think fifty six 656 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: and a half. Right now. The model leans Georgia, and 657 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: it leans it pretty heavily, or them pretty heavily. I 658 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: read everything I told you I think has to invert 659 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: from Missouri. I just think it's a little too much. 660 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: And I'm the guy, by the way, who picked Florida 661 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: to cover last week. So it's not that I think 662 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: Georgia is invincible or anything like that. But man, you 663 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: got a tall task on your hands if you're going 664 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: to go in there and outplay them, because I think 665 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. You got to outplay Georgia. 666 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: They're not handing you the I don't think that will happen. 667 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: And so if Missouri does it, they got talent on 668 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: the lines of scrimmage. They got really good scrappy dudes. 669 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: But the problem is the kind of spot scrappiness beats 670 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: Georgia in is a spot George is not paying attention to. 671 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: I think you got George's full attention. Your success this 672 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: year actually works against you a little bit this week 673 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: because you got their full attention. And so I'm gonna 674 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: pick Georgia to win and cover and not gonna make 675 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: it the best bet. The model kind of wants me 676 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: to not gonna make it the best bet, but think 677 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: George is gonna win. Think George is gonna cover. We'll 678 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: take another sip. Not from the childice, mind you, but 679 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: from the generic cup here that has lukewarm water in it. 680 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: At this point, I got to get to this game 681 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: in Austin. Hmm. I'm so nervous about this Kansas State 682 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: at Texas. It is big noon kickoff. It is Brady 683 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: Quinn and Company in tow on a network I don't 684 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: work for, so I'm gonna stop promoting them now. But 685 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: this is Kansas State at Texas. Oh my goodness. Did 686 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: you see the number on this fan duel as of 687 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: this hour has Texas minus four and a half. I 688 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: warned you, did I not? I warned you about what 689 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: we call ignition teams, and those are teams that you 690 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: try and turn the engine over early in the season. 691 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: Dead battery, carburetor may be messed up for whatever reason, 692 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: that thing's not cranking, and some people mistakenly leave those 693 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: teams for dead. But something happens. You call the right 694 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: repair man, you get the right parts, You go to 695 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: AutoZone and pick up an Avery Johnson, for example, and 696 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you turn that ignition and 697 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: that thing cranks, and then you put your foot on 698 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: the gas and it revs. And you say, where was 699 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: this car in Week one or two or three? Well, 700 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: this is college football. This happens all the time. Kansas 701 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: State is an ignition team, and they are they are 702 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: rocketing up the JPE pole. I mean we have taken notice, 703 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: and I think we have appropriately adjusted for them. Thirty eight, 704 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: forty one and forty one. Those are their last three 705 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: weeks points totals. This profiles then, I'm going to be 706 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: brutally honest for a second, but you know it to 707 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: be true. If you're a Texas fan, this profiles as 708 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: the kind of game Texas would lose in the past. 709 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: You're a little banged up, you got a hot team 710 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: coming in, you outroster them, but that hasn't mattered. Sometimes 711 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: you got your backup quarterback in there, your backs against 712 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: the wall. It is must win. It's an earlier kickoff, 713 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: and it's the kind of game you have lost all 714 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: too often recently. If you want to do something you 715 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 1: haven't done in the future, got to do things you 716 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: hadn't done in the present. That's not a meme all 717 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: quote you can tell because it was a little more lame. 718 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: That's just a me special. I want you to answer 719 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: me a question really quick here. Who has the better 720 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: offense Kansas State or Texas? Who has the better offense? 721 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: Points per game KATE KSU, rush yards per game KSU, 722 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: third down conversion percentage KSU, quarterback protection ability KSU. There 723 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: are you know, not across the board, but there are 724 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: a lot of key indicators that actually lean Kansas State 725 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: in this game. And that's with quarterback change. And I'm 726 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: just looking at this game and I'm thinking about a 727 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: few weeks back when I was standing in the Cotton 728 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: Bowl on the sideline there watching Dylan Gabriel do what 729 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: frankly I didn't think he was going to be able 730 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: to do, and that was run for over one hundred 731 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: yards at the quarterback position, no less, against Texas. And 732 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: the reason I bring that up, obviously, it's because I 733 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: got a cat here in Avery Johnson, who specializes in that. 734 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: And if you don't get a fourteen or twenty one 735 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: point lead on them, and maybe even if you do, 736 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to deal with it all afternoon. And 737 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: I think that it's going to be effective. Kansas State 738 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: is gonna have some degree of success running the football 739 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: on you, and it will probably be because of the 740 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: quarterback position, which brings me to my next point. Quinn 741 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: Viewers is not starting this game. Elie Murphy is. He's 742 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: got to beat Kansas State like that's really what it 743 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: comes down to. He's got to make the plays to 744 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 1: beat them. It's not very difficult to envision the kind 745 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: of defensive game plan that Kansas State's gonna employ here, 746 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: and I think, especially early, they'll send as many looks 747 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: at him as possible to get him flustered, because last 748 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: week they didn't. They didn't have to pay for mistakes 749 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: he made against Bring him young, but he made them, 750 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: and if he makes those same kind of mistakes this week, 751 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: they probably will have to pay for them. Kansas State 752 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: is seventy eighth then pass defense, okay, so there will 753 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: be plays to be made there. That's why I'm telling you, 754 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: Especially if they sell out against the run, it's gonna 755 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: be there to be one. You've got to win it. 756 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: Elie Murphy's gonna have to win it. Spring game. Elie 757 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 1: Murphy is the one that's got to show up. It 758 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: won't be about numbers as much as it'll be about mistakes. 759 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: You can throw for two to fifty for all I 760 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: care if a bunch of mistakes are mixed in there, 761 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: you can throw for two to fifty and lose by 762 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: thirteen at home. That can happen. What happens inside the 763 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: twenty is what will ultimately decide this game. Right now though, 764 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: because I look at Texas, they are one hundred and 765 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: twentieth in red zone touchdown rate. It almost sounds like 766 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: a typo one hundred and twentieth in red zone touchdown rate. Offensively, 767 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: Kansas State's defense is third in America at red zone 768 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: touchdown rate allowed. You have got to find ways to 769 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 1: get in the end zone. Either that or you got 770 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: to put on a defensive clinic and win a low 771 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: scoring game. Let's take a look at what the model 772 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: thinks the Vegas number, as I said, FanDuel currently has 773 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: Texas minus four and a half. The Paint State model 774 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: has Texas minus four and a half. We could not 775 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: be anymore in conjunction with FanDuel. There I have and 776 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: I cannot stress this enough. No confidence this game. I'm 777 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: going to take Texas to win because I have Texas 778 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: power rated a little bit higher and they're at home. 779 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to take Kansas State in the points like 780 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: there's obviously not a whole lot of skill in doing that. 781 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm not betting this game. I will I'll probably get 782 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: to Bryant in any stadium extremely early Saturday and watch 783 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: this one from the confines of the press box along 784 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: with the rest of you. Probably won't be in the 785 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: press box, but you get what I'm saying. I think 786 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: it's going to be a very, very down to the 787 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: wire fourth quarter to decide a kind of game. I 788 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: don't have to tell you the Big Twelve's chaos every 789 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: year anyway. If Texas loses this game, that's their second 790 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: conference loss, and Buddy, it could break loose out there, 791 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: because think about this. We got Oklahoma Oklahoma State also 792 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: happening next Saturday or this Saturday, and you just could 793 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: have a minefield. We've got one, two, three four. We 794 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: got five teams in that conference with one conference loss. 795 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: We got another two of them with two conference losses. 796 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: Like over a well over half the league is still alive. 797 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: A beautiful thing. Mind you, if you are more confident 798 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: on that game than I am, there's a place for 799 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: you to go. I mean, FanDuel's got it right now 800 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: for you. Tech that like Texas minus four and a 801 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: half sitting there.

Week ten upset alerts. How nervous 855 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: am I? For these favorites? Penn State eight and a 856 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: half point favorite huh, they're on the road at Maryland. Well, 857 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: I gotta be real with you, I'm nervous. I'm putting 858 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: an eight on this now. I know they have throttled 859 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: Maryland recently. I'm still nervous. Drew Aller on the road 860 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: is a forty eight percent completion guy seventy one percent 861 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: at home. So I got road Drew this week. I 862 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: got to cross my fingers. It's a super Bowl spot 863 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 1: from Mike Loxley. Maryland has not been hot, their ice cold. 864 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: I know all that. It's also a look ahead spot 865 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: for Penn State with Michigan on deck. I know that. 866 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm nervous. It's a survive and advanced special for Penn State, 867 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 1: kind of like the Indiana game last week. So I'm 868 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 1: putting an eight on that when the odds to win 869 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship Penn State has plummeted obviously after 870 00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 1: losing to Ohio State. Eight eight is my upset Alert 871 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: Meter rating on that one. Next up, Virginia Tech. Welcome 872 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 1: to the party. By the way, Virginia Tech's at Louisville. 873 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: This number at FanDuel is nine and a half in 874 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: favor of Louisville, but I'm putting a solid seven on 875 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: the upset alert concern meter here. Now. Virginia Tech's four 876 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: and four, which really makes what I'm about to say confusing. 877 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: They control their own destiny in the ACC because as 878 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: much as they're a five hundred team, only one of 879 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: those is a conference loss. They're three and one in 880 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: the ACC. They have a better conference record than Miami, 881 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: better conference record than North Carolina. It's really a crazy 882 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: world in which we live right now. It's two of 883 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: the ACC's best defenses. VA Tech leads the conference in sacks. 884 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 1: They have found something in that dual threat quarterback, and 885 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: I have some mild to moderate concern for Louisville. So 886 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a seven on this one. When you 887 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 1: got those teams where they feel really hot and you 888 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 1: can't explain it, like Arizona Diamondback, Texas Ranger Voodoo, you 889 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,959 Speaker 1: just you don't take them lightly. I don't overlook this game. 890 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: Next up, FSU isn't pitt. First thing everyone should do 891 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,280 Speaker 1: when I tell you that in November is find your 892 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: nearest cellular device and pull up the weather apps and 893 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: just check the weather. I did so you don't have 894 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:27,240 Speaker 1: to it. It looks like mid to upper fifties cloudy, 895 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,479 Speaker 1: which is like tropical weather grading on the Pittsburgh Curve 896 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: in November. And so I don't think that weather is 897 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: going to be an issue here. FSU has been locked in. 898 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,479 Speaker 1: I know you could go back to that BC game. 899 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: I think the BC game grab their attention. And so 900 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: I say that because that was on the road, that 901 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: was a long road trip for him. I think they're 902 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 1: gonna be okay here. I don't have concern. I don't 903 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: Pit feels like a little bit of a program in 904 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: free fall right now, and so I'm gonna I'm gonna 905 00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: put a one and a half. I'm gonna put a 906 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: two on it. But I don't have a ton of concern. 907 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: I think FSU, even with Miami on deck next week, 908 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: I think they're locked in right now. They will take 909 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 1: care of business. Oklahoma is at Oklahoma state ten ten 910 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: ten all across the board. The Russian judge included tens. 911 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 1: I'm absolutely terrified for Oklahoma. They're a five and a 912 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: half point favorite FanDuel right now. The model here's the 913 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: thing about it. The model likes Oklahoma to cover and 914 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 1: it borders on making it a best bet The Model's 915 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: got Oklahoma win in by eight point seventy five, I think, 916 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: which obviously crosses some key numbers from five and a half. 917 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 1: This is the last bedlam, and I just don't think 918 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: the model knows what that means. Oklahoma State thirty nine, 919 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: forty eight and forty five, that's how many they've scored 920 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:53,359 Speaker 1: recently last three games. They also have found something. And 921 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,239 Speaker 1: I don't have a good feel at all. I gotta 922 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: be honest with you. I know, Oh, you just lost 923 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: to Kansas. I don't have a good feel at all 924 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: for this one. High entertainment is what I expect. It's 925 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 1: a ten like this is as big an upset alert 926 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: as you could possibly get. And I can't wait to 927 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: watch this, cannot wait to watch it. What about Oregon 928 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: State at Colorado? Yeh't been thinking about Colorado a lot lately, 929 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,280 Speaker 1: have you. It's back to back road spot for Oregon 930 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 1: State the favor by thirteen and a half FanDuel. Colorado's 931 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: players got robbed, their lockers got broken into at the 932 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 1: Rose Bowl last week while they were playing UCLA leisurely. Also, 933 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: Colorado's just out of the spotlight. Now. These are all 934 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,919 Speaker 1: ingredients for Dion Sanders to spring one on you out 935 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: of nowhere. I'm putting a six on this. That upset 936 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: alert meter is it's peeking a little bit more than 937 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: I thought it would for this spot. They are four 938 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: and four at Colorado. They need two more wins for 939 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 1: Bowl eligibility. They got obviously this game. They got Arizona 940 00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,800 Speaker 1: at Washington State at Utah. None of them are easy. Obviously, 941 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 1: I think they can make some noise this week. I'm 942 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 1: putting a six on it. I'm not gonna go over these, 943 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 1: but Ucla at Arizona is the most slept on marquee 944 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: game this weekend. Ucla is favored by three on the road. 945 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: I got Ucla going to the Pac twelve championship game 946 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,839 Speaker 1: in my preseason picks, and so like Arizona's red hot 947 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: right now watch that game. Washington's favored by three at 948 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: usc There are so many Once upon a Saturday Tour 949 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 1: ramifications riding on a lot of these games. Arkansas's at 950 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 1: Florida totally off the radar game Shamar Stewart out for 951 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: the year. Florida's favored by five and a half against 952 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: a dead in the water Arkansas team. If I had 953 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: to guess and that's all I'm gonna do. Arkansas could 954 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 1: just just pull the upset out of nowhere. I have 955 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,320 Speaker 1: strong upset concerns for that one. So those are upset alerts. 956 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: I also have best bets right here in my hand. 957 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: Put some of these out Sunday. But this is the 958 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: first time you and I have spoken about these. Let's 959 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 1: dive in. We are once again on Iowa State. I 960 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: in Bernie Sanders mode. I'm once again asking you insert 961 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: my voice to bet Iowa State because we've been really 962 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 1: good doing that this year. Iowa State minus two and 963 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 1: a half. Brigham Young is plus ten. We were already 964 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 1: on that game, and we were already on Nebraska minus three. 965 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 1: So those were the games we were already on. I'm 966 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 1: adding these three games right now. Georgia State plus five 967 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: and a half. We're betting against James Madison. Again. It 968 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: was very profitable for us last week. We are laying 969 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 1: three points with Iowa. Anytime coordinators get fired or quarterbacks 970 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: get injured, we don't love that it happened. We love 971 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 1: betting on that team the next week because more oftentimes 972 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 1: than not, there's, for whatever reason, a little jolt to 973 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: the locker room. Instead of a down trodden affity that 974 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: the point spread may indicate there will be so Iowa 975 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: minus five, I put three my Bay Iowa minus five, 976 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: and USF is going to Memphis plenty good enough weather 977 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: Saturday to where that's not a concern USF plus thirteen 978 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 1: and a half so USF Iowa Georgia State, Nebraska, Brigham Young, 979 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: Iowa State. Make sure, because I'm adding many more games 980 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: tomorrow night, make sure you are following at Late Kick 981 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: Josh on Instagram Friday night lines brought to you by 982 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 1: FanDuel Rama Noodle Express brought to you by Fandel.
