Speaker 1: I want to start with you. You are a Service

36
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Academy loyalist. You have always loved betting Service Academy games.

37
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: You seem to have a beat every year on how

38
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: these game games are going to play out. We've got

39
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: a very special service Academy game Army Navy on Saturday.

40
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: How are you thinking about it right now? Yeah, I

41
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: remember going to this game, you know, when he used

42
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: to be in Philly went growing up. I grew up

43
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: outside of Philly and my dad would take me. And

44
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: I remember the Clinton when he was president. I was

45
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: really young, so I can barely remember. But Bill Clinton

46
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: came into our section and then Secret Service had to

47
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: come and clear at first. That was my first memory

48
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: of this game. But yeah, I love this game every year.

49
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: I love the Service Academy teams that they played each

50
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: other because it's such a unique game. But those who

51
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: aren't familiar with the Service Academy football teams, they play

52
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: the triple option, and the reason they do that is

53
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: they're not getting the same caliber athletes and recruits that

54
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: some of these you know Power five schools and even

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: other schools get. So their competitive advantage now is they

56
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: played this unique style that on a week to week basis,

57
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: when they go and play someone they're not used to

58
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: seeing the triple option and it's all about you know, discipline,

59
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: and it's just a different offensive at the state and

60
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a shock to your system for defenses.

61
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: But when they play each other, they have all the

62
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: familiarity in the world with it because they practice against

63
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: each other every day of the year, so they're practically

64
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: against the triple option defense, and they know how to cover,

65
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: they know the assignments, they know how to stay discipline,

66
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: who gets the pitchman, who gets the uh, who gets

67
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the running back, and you know all the motion and

68
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: how to how to defend the fullback dive. So when

69
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: they play each other a lot of times, especially arm

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: the Navy, these are really low scoring games because you know,

71
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: number one, they're running it the entire game. Both teams

72
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: the clocks always running. They're going for a lot of

73
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: fourth downs, so it's like fourth and one height, we'll

74
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: go for it. You just get two yards and then

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: you keep going and going and going, and then it's

76
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: really hard to score because both teams are familiar with

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: the other offense and they know how to defend it.

78
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: So you get these rock fights and I love them.

79
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why Army Navy has gone under

80
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: the total fifteen straight years. And if you bet all

81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: service academies, so Army Navy, Air Force, whenever they play

82
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: each other every year, unders and Service guid of games

83
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: are thirty eight and ten just under since two thousand five.

84
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: So that's why betting Army Navy is fascinating. Well, I

85
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: will tell everybody the total right now is thirty six

86
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: and a half. Army is a seven and a half

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: point favorite. It opened at eight. Say boy, like, I

88
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: would love to know, as someone who is steeped in

89
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: the SEC, why the funk would you care about Army Navy?

90
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: You know the tradition of the game. I think it's

91
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: the top five rivalry in sports just because of the cache.

92
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: And it's kind of you know, like like going to

93
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: the place you always go to eat, but ordering something

94
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: you've never ordered before. Like you go to the place

95
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: and you always order a type sandwich. You go in

96
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: there one day you're like, you know what, I'm gonna

97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: mix it up. I'm gonna get something different. That's what

98
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: this game is gonna give you. Because I mean, Stuck's right,

99
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: Study's right, the biggest thing for Army and maybe they

100
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: can't go get the six pound offensive lineman number one.

101
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: A lot of those guys don't fit in submarines or planes,

102
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: and I guess David Robinson fitness submarines that may may

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: kill that theory, but they're unable to go get the

104
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: guys you see that can pass pro against you know,

105
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: legitimate four down TA tem legitimate three down teams that

106
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: bring pressure. And the triple option is tough. It's it's

107
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: a built in advantage because like jay Z said, less

108
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: is more man, there's plenty of us. The less guys

109
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: that are running a certain type thing, the more type,

110
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the more exotic that thing is. Uh. And betting these

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: games are tough because you know, the rivalry game, they're

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: both gonna get up for it. They hear about it

113
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: all year. Uh. You know, for example, you look at

114
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: the way Auburn got up for Alabama and and how

115
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: they played Alabama compared to the way that Georgia did.

116
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: There was extenuating circumstances there. But you know, I look

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: at this game. Navy has had one of their least

118
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: talented teams that I've seen under under coach Cannon up there.

119
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: Uh that you know, played well against Cincinnati, but they're

120
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: not able to really consistently move the ball the quarter

121
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: but they're not able to hit home runs with the

122
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: quarterback like they were with Keenan Reynolds and some guys

123
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: in the past, you know the system they run. You

124
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: know you want you go nine, ten, eleven, twelve plays.

125
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: But in the past, Navies or excuse me, Army has

126
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: been able to kind of our Navy has been able

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: to quick strike you with with with guys that can move,

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: but Armies a better team. Having said that, I like

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Navy plus seven and a half because I think it

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be a rock fight. I think it's gonna

131
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: be lows boring. Navy is gonna get up for this game.

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: So I like maybe plus seven and a half. But

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, you bet it because we hadn't had a

134
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: game in a while too. It feels like and it's

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: the only one, so hell. You know, if you like

136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Betton college football, there it is. Simon. Is it a

137
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: the Gen Special, Yeah, it's And like Stucky said, it's

138
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: a blind under every year, even if they made a thirty,

139
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I might still think about betting the under. It's a

140
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: It's at that point now where every year every pro

141
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I talked to was like, no, this is the year

142
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: is probably gonna go over and it's like, why why

143
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: go against the trend? Just keep betting the under, don't

144
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: overthink it. Don't try to be the smartest one the

145
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: rest of our lives. This is a bet I'll always make.

146
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: I'll always bet the under. It doesn't matter if they

147
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: hit the over five straight years. To keep ryding this trend,

148
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: it's it's at the point now where you just said

149
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: it's over the last couple of years. Just a Navy,

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Air Force, Army matchups just always tend towards lean the under.

151
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: So the fact you're getting thirty six now, it's it's

152
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: a gift. I saw some books headed down at thirty

153
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: or four. I love when h Philly guys like Simon

154
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: and Stucky talk about a game being a rock fight,

155
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: because I feel like Philly guys have probably been in

156
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: rock fights. They know literally what that is. Like. Yeah,

157
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: I would say the closest we get is we would

158
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: play football on the street, tackle football, so not not

159
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: any one's front yard. You would just go in the

160
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: street and play football. That was definitely the closest I

161
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: came to a rock fight, y'all, booed Santa claus Man.

162
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: We threw batteries at him, and it wasn't the power

163
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: of the sleigh. Snowballs, snowballs filled with batteries at New

164
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: York Football Giants on the sidelines one year two. Yeah,

165
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: and just to close up the Army Navy discussion, I

166
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: do like Navy plus seven and a half as well. Look,

167
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: the markets starting to catch up to this. We're talking

168
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: about it. People have been talking about it. The average

169
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: over under from two thousand five to eighteen was fifty.

170
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: The last three years it's down the thirty seven. If

171
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the total was thirty five and all the Army Navy games,

172
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: the under would have only went seven and nine. The

173
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: markets started to get close. I make it thirty three.

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of wind, and the Army

175
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: could actually throw it a little bit now, but so

176
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: I think that hurts their their passing game. All right.

177
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: There are actual college football playoff lines out right now,

178
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: even though the game's not for another three weeks. There

179
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: is an opportunity sort of in the first few days

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: to make a play and then the lines settle in

181
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: for a while. Stuck looking at this Georgia eight and

182
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: a half over Michigan Alabama two touchdowns over since total

183
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: forty four and a half Georgia Michigan fifty eight Alabama

184
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: since Have you made any bets on these games, where

185
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: do you see the greatest value so far? I did

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: play Cincinnati. A couple of books put it out a

187
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half, which I thought was crazy. That

188
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: was way too high. So I got a little bit

189
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: down there, settled a little bit. At fourteen, you can

190
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: get a little bit more. I played fourteen on Cincinnati.

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I think that number is too high as well. Alabama

192
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: looked phenomenal against Georgia, playing for everything, but we've seen

193
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: Alabama this year. I think it's namely because of their

194
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: young offensive line and secondary. They've been very inconsistent. You know,

195
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: you see them one week they look on stopfold. The

196
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: next week, you know they look like, oh wow, they

197
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: barely escaped Auburn, they barely escaped LSU, they barely escaped Florida.

198
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: So I think this is too many points, especially when

199
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: you consider that John Metchi, They're they're, you know, leading

200
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: receiver who was nineties six catches on the year, is

201
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: going to be out for this game. They don't really

202
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: have a third receiver and they haven't really needed one,

203
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: but someone else is gonna have to step up besides

204
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. And the difference what I think the difference

205
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: between Since and Georgia. Georgia got no pressure on Alabama

206
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: number one, which is the most surprising aspect that album

207
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: offensive line played well. But since Cincinnati has a much

208
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: better secretary than Georgia, they have the best corner in

209
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: the country in my opinion. In mot Gardner is probably

210
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: gonna go in the top ten in the NFL draft.

211
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Who's given up zero touchdowns and over a thousand snaps.

212
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: He's given up a hundred and seventeen yards total on

213
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: the year. He takes away one side of the field,

214
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: so you know, and Kobe Bryant is also gonna be

215
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL at corners like that. I mean,

216
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: their secondary is excellent, so I think Cincinnati secondary can

217
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: hang here. I don't think they're gonna get some flukes

218
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: to win the game, but I think two touchdowns is

219
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: too much. I think this line should be closer to ten.

220
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: When I'm looking at Cincinnati Bama. My biggest thing when

221
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I look at this game and and at fourteen, I'm

222
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna take Bama minus fourteen for a couple of reasons, Cincinnati,

223
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: I agree Stucky uh Sauce. Gardner is one of the

224
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: most top corners in the country. I don't think he's

225
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: seen Jamison though, and I'm wondering. I'm wondering and assuming

226
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna follow him around, especially now that Metchi's out.

227
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: The biggest thing that having Metchi out hurts Bama is

228
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: now they can bracket Jamison Williams a whole heck of

229
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot easier without having to worry about getting their

230
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: pants pulled down on the back end. You can only

231
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: bracket so many people. But the difference to me is

232
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: and will always be up front and at the tight

233
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: end position. You know, it's a game of matchups that

234
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: will always be a game of matchups. You look at

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: Law to a guy that I think is snuck under

236
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: the radar this year, showed up big against Miami, has

237
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: made some big plays, kind of disappeared in the middle

238
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: of the year. Saw him a little bit against Auburn,

239
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: especially in the overtime, But his blocking has gotten so

240
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: much better throughout the year. Billingsley is is a matchup problem.

241
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: I mean, a guy that's over six ft four fifteen

242
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: pounds that can put outside and go win the jump ball.

243
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: But I love the inside and I love the scene.

244
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: You know, Cincinnati is pretty good in the back end. Uh.

245
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, I I would say when you look at

246
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: them and Georgia from a draft standpoint, Sauce is obviously

247
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna be the first guy that goes. But I think

248
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: depth wise, Georgia has them there. And I don't think

249
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's seen anything like Alabama. I mean, they struggled with Navy,

250
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you struggle with Tulsa and with game day there. But

251
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: the game always comes down to upfront for me, and

252
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: I don't think Cincinnati is going to be able to

253
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: get pressure on Bryce Young, and when they do, I

254
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: don't think that they'll be able to get them down.

255
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson's gonna be healthier. Jason McClellan is a guy

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: that is looking to get back that was leading Alabama

257
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: and touchdowns before he got hurt. And if Cincinnati can't

258
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: stop the run, you gotta start Robin Peter to pay

259
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Paul in the box. And when you do that against Alabama,

260
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: with a guy like Bryce Young that can extend plays,

261
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna hit big plays, whether it's on crossers, whether

262
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: it's hitting back shoulders for chunk plays fifty five. And

263
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: then when they get in the red zone, you're gonna

264
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: see the tight end in that play action game in

265
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Bryce's running ability, which if you watch Bryce throughout the year,

266
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: He's gotten so much more economical and more efficient in

267
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: the run game. You know, we do the show with

268
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: them every Monday. And one thing that he's talked about

269
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: his understanding. Hey, when they're in man and their backs

270
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: turn and I can escape up through the pocket, I

271
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: need to start going more because it just hits such

272
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: a built in advantage against the defense because you're playing

273
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: with less than a hat really than the offense when

274
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: you look at it truly with what Bryce can do.

275
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: So I do like Alabama. Then defensively, you're getting Chris

276
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: Allen back. I don't think Cincinnati will be able to

277
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: consistently drive the ball on Alabama's defense. I don't know

278
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: if they can protect will Anderson. I don't know if

279
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: the National Guard could protect if Will Anderson really wanted

280
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: to get in there. So I do like Bama. I

281
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: love their physicality, Nick Saban. They may not get up

282
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: sometimes for regular season games, and and they haven't this

283
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: year with a young team, but if you look, they

284
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: made some movement and some decisions on the offensive line,

285
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: McLoughlin moving guys around and found something they liked. And

286
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: if you can, Georgia, I promise you can block Cincinnati.

287
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: I think Nick wants to make a statement. They're still

288
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: using the underdog role even though they're number one, because

289
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Nick Saban is master splinter.

290
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: It was just a couple of weeks ago we had

291
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: J Boy on, we had Colin on and I sat here,

292
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: look at the camera. I said, take Obama. It was

293
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: plus six hundred National Championship. Well say that they're in

294
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the final four. It feels like you're at the point

295
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: now where it's yese sees you know, title to lose.

296
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: Georgia's favorite, big favorite, damn is a big favorite. We

297
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: know the public's gonna be coming in on Michigan. We

298
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: know the publics canna be coming in on since it's

299
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting watching these lines move up and

300
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: down this upcoming week. J But do you feel like

301
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: it's the SEC's title to lose? I mean, the way

302
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: these matchups are we do for Obama Georgia rematch. I

303
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: I know that's what the sponsors want, you know, That's

304
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: how I guarantee you that's what they want. But yeah,

305
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: look and again, look Cincinnati is a great story to me.

306
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: But you know what else is a great story, Little

307
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: Red Riding Hood and I MCBAMA to beat them too.

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: And I've got a ton of respect for Luke Fickle.

309
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: He's going into the Power five and the Big twelve,

310
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: uh and and the Skies the limit for that guy's

311
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: an unbelievable coach. But again, look, Bama is still pissed.

312
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's a guy that grew up in Alburn, Alabama.

313
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: I know when Bama's pissed. I can see pissed Obama.

314
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: And they have been inconsistent, but I think they're starting

315
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: to put it together, and they show up for these games.

316
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: Nick Salman shows up for these postseason games, and you've

317
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: got tons of time with Bill O'Brien, who is literally

318
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz. The more time you give them.

319
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: But looking at Georgia, I think this is a horrible

320
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: matchup for Michigan. You're not gonna go eight, nine, ten, eleven,

321
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: twelve plays consistently on Georgia and Cade McNamara is not

322
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna throw you two wins. Cade mcnamarian stetson Bennett. I

323
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: swear the same person just like Jamison Williams and Jalen Waddle,

324
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: I swear are the same person. Michigan's got good players,

325
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're going to be able to

326
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: score enough against Georgia. And Georgia, I think it's gonna

327
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: be able to hit enough plays. George Pickens coming back

328
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: is huge for the one on one, especially inside the

329
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: red zone. You're gonna get George Obama just because gravity's

330
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: gravity man stuck you get the final word. Yeah, I

331
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: just think we're we're having too much recency buys with

332
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: this Alabama. They aren't the Alabama team of last year

333
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: that was historically great. There's a reason this team. You're

334
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: telling me they didn't show up to play Auburn, their rival. No, No,

335
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: well Alburn Alabama, Man, I mean you can throw the

336
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: records out. I mean that's that's all right. Yeah, they

337
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: showed up for that game. So since the albaver gonna

338
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: show for this game l s U, I mean they

339
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: should have lost that game. They went twenty to fourteen

340
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: against up that and beat up and just completely ravaged

341
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: LSU team. They you know, beat an Arkansas team that

342
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: gets shut out by a couple opponents and have to

343
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: beat the five at home. Um, it's the team that

344
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: should have lost. The Florida was outplayed by what turned

345
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: out to be a bad Florida team. This team has

346
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: not been consistent all year. We see they have a

347
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: lot of talent, so we see flashes and then the

348
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: next week it's like, oh, what's wrong with this team?

349
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: They lose to zac Calzatta. You make zac Calzatta look good.

350
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: No one did that all year except Alabama. It was

351
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight a Texas and takes four games for Texas

352
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: m to square that many points. So this team is

353
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: just so much recent biased. Last week it was Georgia,

354
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: and I didn't like Georgia last week, but it was

355
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: Georgia amount of six and half. Georgia's gonna kill Alabama.

356
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Albama is one good performance. It's one game, and now

357
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: everyone just says, oh Albama. Well, I I don't think

358
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: you can use the term recency bias with Nick Saban,

359
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: who's dominated the sport going on a decade. I mean,

360
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: if that's recency bias, then then I don't know, you know,

361
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: why would we look in the past about anything? Why

362
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: do we look at trends? I don't think you can

363
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: compare Texas A and M with the Navy or s

364
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: m U. If you give Alabama that schedule, they're pulling

365
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: everybody's pants down, probably by five to thirty five. And

366
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: and this isn't a went off. Hey we're playing in

367
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: the minor Key Car Care Bowl and eight of our

368
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: starters are opting out. You're gonna get the full weight

369
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: of it. And you know, the Georgia Abama game, to

370
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: me that that's been the biggest hunt for Georgia. I

371
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: had Georgia winning that game. I thought they'd win seven

372
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: to ten points. It's amazing they keep getting up and

373
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: blowing it, whether it's halftime or getting up tendo in

374
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: the first quarter. I just don't see how you can

375
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: can look at that SEC schedule and then look at

376
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: Cincinnati schedule and say, you know, man, I just I

377
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: think we can compare losses. So if we're gonna say

378
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: that they barely beat A and M, Cincinnati barely beat Navy,

379
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: who's three and eight. They beat Tulsa by what had

380
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: to stop Tulsa at the goal line with game day there,

381
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: and we want to compare that to an Arkansas team

382
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: that won eight games and destroyed Texas. Even though that

383
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: seems to be a habit. So we're talking about showing up.

384
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: It's one thing if Jack Nicholson shows up to act,

385
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: and another thing if a B list actor shows up

386
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: to act. So I think if we're gonna use bias,

387
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: let's make sure we look at the draft and say, wow,

388
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: that's he sees one eleven out of the last fifteen

389
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: national championships, they absolutely dominate the draft. We're not talking

390
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: about winning the game. We're talking about covering fourteen. No,

391
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: that that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't. I wouldn't go

392
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: to win the game. No, No, it's I'm not arguing

393
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: to win. I'm arguing. If we're gonna say recency bias,

394
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: how can we say recently bias against Alabama. That's like saying, well,

395
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Leo DiCaprio's mad, he's made good movies, but this next

396
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: movie coming out it's probably gonna suck. I mean, I

397
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: don't think you can use that use that optic when

398
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: you're using Cincinnattie and and Bama. You can use it

399
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: with Georgia and Obama, but I don't think you can

400
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: use it with Cincinnati Obama. But that still makes it fun.

401
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: And we'll see yeah, I mean it's still a market

402
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: data that. I mean. Now, the look at line for

403
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Georgia Obama's one I mean it was it was just

404
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: six and a half. It's through five and a half

405
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: points and after one game. So obviously the and the

406
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: public has say say in this game, in this market,

407
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: at this time of the year. I just think that

408
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: this Albama team is nowhere close, nowhere close to what

409
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: this team was last year, which is a historically great team.

410
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: There's still lapses in the second dary in certain games.

411
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: If the offensive line is gonna play like it did

412
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: last week all year, then yeah, the offense is gonna

413
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: be great. But we've seen that for one game. So

414
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: I still think that this Alabama team is the second

415
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: best team in the country. I still have Georgia, I

416
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. Where let's send down an agreement.

417
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: This is the beauty of the playing the game idea.

418
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna know on the thirty one? Was Stucky right?

419
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: Was he right to buy sixteen and a half? Was

420
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: right to buy fourteen? On Cincinnati? I don't know. Personally,

421
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: I want to see Alabama Michigan in the title game.

422
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a more interesting matchup

423
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: UH nationally than Alabama Georgia. Michigan is a great story.

424
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: To me, It's about the narrative. Michigan is a great story.

425
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: Michigan's fan base is bigger Northeast. Totally true. By the way,

426
