You're listening to the back home network presented by home
field apparel. Hi folks, welcome back to
Crimson cash. Scott here with you Normally
this is where I talk about home field and the 15 percent off.
Your first purchase with using the promo code home, and they're
still a sponsor, we love them but they've come out with the IU
bomber jacket, which is just unreal.
It looks so hot. I got mine already.
I used some of my if you don't know home field will keep track
of your orders and you get promotional points and you can
use that to redeem. I was able to get one of those.
They I think the they sold out for a while.
They brought some back there. They're sick, they look awesome.
So go get one of those if you have not purchased from home
field use the promo code home and I would say by all the
bomber jackets you can and then you can probably resell them on
eBay or some back to home field for a profit and home field or
resell them. Again, they're awesome.
But not enough good things to say about home field but just
just saying that bomber jackets, awesome.
And in a couple weeks I'm going to Vegas.
I will be wearing that and are probably sweating and I'll be
happy. So check out home field apparel,
it's awesome. With that I bring on James
James. How you doing, man?
Sweaty midwesterners dispense, descend upon Las Vegas,
fantastic - every day, right? That's gonna happen every day.
There, you're like the ambassador of Indiana, very
sweaty rolling into your town in a bomber jacket.
Pretty much. So I have a story that I wanted
to tell you. I texted you some of this but I
think you'll really appreciate when we pull up by the way, as
I'm pulling this up, do you have issues with Action Network doing
better? Sink.
Cause my best sync sucks. They stopped MGM they stopped.
Doing it with MGM, and I found with DraftKings, I have to,
like, be logged into DraftKings, and then go over to action to
get it to kind of work, sometimes points bed, it seems
to always work. Okay.
So and FanDuel doesn't FanDuel doesn't even offer.
Yeah, and MGM doesn't offer it anymore either.
Okay, I was wondering if things were kind of popping they
weren't and then the problem is I like betting with all the
different books. So I'll try project.
Yeah, it works pretty well. But I do like, I like what
action network has. But anyway, I have a bedding
story to tell you. I think you'll definitely
appreciate. So last night, I have Pacers
tickets. I take my son to the first game
of the year. And as like, any good parent, I
normally I've been starting the last, like, last year and this
year, he's nine old enough to learn about gambling.
We bet on the first person to score and do I put like three
bucks on it. Like, it's not a big bet, but I
let him pick and this is the first year he's like, well,
who's on the Pacers? Who's on the Nuggets?
He's a kind of understand the odds.
He's like, all right, I'm going to pick Michael Porter, jr.
Like okay, it's like, I feel like a nuggets gonna Score
first. Mike, okay.
And again, it's, it is such a great couple dollar.
Bet when you're at the game because it's like you get there.
It's like buddy, hield has a 3 in it rims out and then like
they go down, they go to joke itch and he has an easy layup
and like he misses it and it's like a, it's like a rebound.
The guy goes up and gets that she's like, oh my God, somehow
Porter, Junior scores, I thought I told my son James.
I would split the bet with him. So three dollar bet we win 18,
he gets, I give him seven bucks. He's happy.
I bet the Nuggets to win money line and then during the game,
the Pacers were up by like 15. So at halftime, I got the
Nuggets also plus five and a half using the James logic that
you can get any team with plus five and a half during an NBA
game. And then I threaded the needle
where the Nuggets ended up winning.
They obviously cover the five and a half.
I then also bet during the game because yo catch had four fouls
in the second quarter. I bet Jamal Murray over 70 and a
half points and Aaron Gordon over 70 and a half points.
One, both of those. So rarely, do you have a night
where you win? All the bets like that.
It was just just an epic night. My son was happy.
He likes gambling now. So let's go.
Of it, you're raising another generation of degenerate.
Yeah, you know, I do that with my kids to, but what I found is,
you know, if you if you give them the app and let them bet,
you know, and all that stuff like, you know, it's not as real
to them. So my kids have figured out.
Hey, this ain't my money. So they always go for some wacky
parley or something with like super long odds to it, like Cubs
to win the World Series in spring training or something
like that, you know? So what I do is I give them some
cash. Cash and then I yank it out of
their hands as soon as the best way.
Let's get a pay you because in your bank account we going how
are you going to pay me? Like a lot of questions about
how it works and she's like, sometimes it's just it's all fun
money and it all goes away. I love it right anyway, parents.
It's fantastic. It was in the end.
We have what we call a DTM which is don't tell Mom.
And like, this is Hardcore DTM. Like we are not telling Mom
about this good thing. My mom doesn't listen to the
podcast, but she had a podcast is hardcore.
Deep bum, doesn't care at all about the pain.
It casts, I can do all my teeth. Let the podcast.
Anyway, let's get into the lines for the week.
Going to keep this relatively short but stuff, going on,
James's coffin. It's rough times around here.
I don't have a copy of it. We got it.
We got to step it up once. More bets you can buy one.
All right, we have Purdue at Illinois.
Illinois, still ranks 21st. The country.
Illinois is a six and a half Point favorite.
Yeah. Produce look kind of bad
recently. That Iowa game was shocking.
Shocking to say the least, the over-under on this thing's 44
and a half. I think the under is a probably
decent play, but I think the Illini probably cover.
But I like that under I think their defense is gonna be able
to Taimi Purdue O'Connell has been a turnover machine, which
is the only thing that concerns me there because the Illini
make, you know, get the fortunes that Iowa had and just, you
know, keep kicking the ball off and getting great field position
and, you know, maybe a pick six or so.
So, look at the Illini to cover their as long as that stays
under a touchdown. I like it.
Yeah, the trouble with with Purdue is they have they start
to look bad in then all of a sudden, those come out and win a
game like they're so spiky. They so go up and down as a
great spot for that too. Yeah.
Just it feels like one of those games you like.
All right. Like I gotta feel now like
Purdue's not good like they're going to fall apart and then
it's going to be the Illinois you like I do that.
Yeah that's pretty scares me. Next game you have Rutgers at
Michigan State. Michigan state is nothing is
going to be awesome more. Awesome than the Michigan State.
There are ten point favorite. They're going to win this Lego
25 and 5, they're going to beat us and then get Bowl eligible a
beating I you after a season where we're looking at, you know
Michigan State's attire fire, their dumpster fire, their mess
and they're going to beat us to go be get Bowl eligible.
That's going to be fun, fun irony, but the first step is
them having to be truckers as a 10-point favorite at home.
What do you think? Well, that one will be more than
10 against value and you can still get this at nine and a
half. So I recommend doing that and
taking the Spartans to cover, something tells me that they're
starting to right the ship and they hit a couple of tasty
matchups here to really Slim that home.
So they'll be going to a bowl game here soon enough.
I think they win and cover you are right.
Nine-and-a-half on DraftKings, I'll look at drafting lines
could call. All right.
Maryland is at Penn State, the Get Right game for Penn State.
Penn State is a 10-point favorite, man, Penn State.
All right. And we're doing this really on
the Fly. This is my harmonica bet.
I'm calling it right now. I think this is gonna be the
best because like Michigan state is is getting better.
But like Penn State is a 10-point favorite at home versus
Maryland 330 game. We get indust.
Yeah that's it. No question Penn State covering
10. That's the harmonica bet.
That is not my heart that can be your harmonica bat.
However I actually kind of like Maryland to cover.
So if you were me I would be looking at Maryland +10.
I'm going to probably stay away from this game because of what
you said scares me a little but we've had good luck with
Maryland this year. And, you know, they can score.
This is an Indiana, you know, I don't think you know, Penn
State's going to be able to show Down quite as easily.
So I think Marilyn will put some points on the board.
Their defense has some athleticism.
I think they can stop the pass game for the most part of Penn
State. So I think the Terps keep it
close. So next, we have Iowa hosting
Wisconsin. My God, I was over unders this
year or just comically low. 35 is the over-under on DraftKings,
but Iowa is a one and a half Point Underdog at home, you're
not going to see that very often.
Now, I could never play the harmonica here because I don't
want anybody to have to watch this trick.
You. Wow, Wisconsin.
As a road, favorite is very interesting here and that 35
Over under is just so that I want to take it.
I want to take the over here and so I think I will, I will take
the over, I think Wisconsin probably wins the game, but I
think they'll be more than 35 points, scored.
You are going to be kicking yourself like kicking yourself,
watching that game being like, all right.
If I awoke and just score twice, we're gonna we're gonna win this
over under. Hey, you never know, I am up.
Here, you know, and you know, that's I will football.
It's true. All right you have Nebraska at
Michigan Michigan man. A second-half Team.
Like they were they were they were really struggled against
Rutgers and second half. They blew the doors off.
I had them in a couple different parlays, which I'm happy that
they turned it on in the second half, but they are hosting
Nebraska and they are a 30 and a half Point, favorite meteor,
some insane insane lines for in conference.
Play this deep in the season Sky.
You want to read me the over-under on that one.
The under is 48 and a half on DraftKings.
Take that over baby. Michigan may get the over by
themselves. It's going to say I was waiting
for you to say that. That's we to say, Michigan, may
get it by themselves, they might and they might do it in a
half-sister, Braska team, not great.
But, you know, they may look into some points to.
So, you know, I think the over here is a great play.
It's not like there's wacky weather, anything happening.
I think this might be a bit of an overreaction to the first
part of last week's game and Nebraska was able to kind of
Down Minnesota in the first half.
Last week until Tanner Morgan left and then the backup
quarterback for Minnesota carved month.
So I see no reason to Michigan shouldn't be able to put up 42
and then can Nebraska do their part and score a touchdown.
And I think the answer is probably yes.
Take that over the over, under opened it. 56.
So it's come down to. I know he's good.
Don't like over a full touchdown and when you see that kind of
movement and we finally got down to a low Point like this, I'm
going to guess that Number probably moves back up before
kickoff. I think you're probably, right.
All right. Next up, we have a hook
Northwestern Minnesota. Thanks for not making this or
harmonica game. I also de is a God as a 17 and a
half Point favorite at home. Okay, tell us what you think on
this one. Don't watch.
Yeah, don't watch. That's might say to me.
It depends on whether or not Tanner Morgan plays.
He was, he was awful compared to their backup and, you know, I
think northwestern's pretty decent against the Run.
Of course that game, they played against Ohio State last week in
the wind. It was pretty easy, to know.
Hey, they're going to be running here.
So, will they have the same success stopping Minnesota?
I don't think so. I think, Sort of probably roles
in this thing, 6:36, or something.
So I don't like that 17 and a half but I do like the under 40
and a half. Okay, that's where I can last up
are wonderful, Indiana Hoosiers. We're talking about it all year,
you know, whether what the lines going to be, we go to Ohio so I
think we were joking. Like, keep it under, what was it
like, 35 or something? Well, they didn't the line is
settled on 40. So how state by 40, I want your
pick on both the who's going to, you know, well, how State cover
that and then the over under fifty eight and a half.
So they're Omega. So we think Cindy, Anna can
score 16 or 17 points which is seems like a lot.
Ohio State's going to have to get that over under basically on
their own but yeah what do you think?
Okay, so it was 24 and a half, that was our original goal.
Like we could do that. We had a successful season up to
this point. Wow, I'll take it.
God, I would take that right now.
We're not even close, so so that's that.
I immediately placed a bet on this game when I saw it at And a
half. So I immediately took OSU to
cover 39 and a half. So that's going up a bit.
I love love, love a bet on this game.
And it was almost a harmonic bet is the Ohio State team, total
forty eight and a half. I love the over, love it.
I also like the over total in this game. 58, you can still get
it at 58. I think we'll see.
Probably a 56 to tension. Lacking somewhere in that range
could be forty nine to ten. So that's where that 40 points
worries me a little bit but I think there's no way that Ohio
State doesn't score 49 points. I just don't see it happening.
I see a bit of an overreaction to the to Northwestern game from
last week on this line. You know.
That's where I'm at on it. Yeah, this is a I mean I
definitely am prop bets, take the props.
Marvin Harrison jr. Over receiving props.
Take those, take the take props on this.
This will be a good game. You can get some props on just
single game, parlays, get some booze.
I think you're going to see some value here, basil acts back but
we have any time to throw how many sacks will hiyo State get
how many pics will basil actor. I'm going to guess the
over-under on that has probably said at one and a half already.
So what do you what do you think about?
What do you think about old quarterback thing?
We talked about it on the last week's Crimson cast with like
the changing, and then now you're just like Hey, Bae
slacks, healthy were thrown to the Wolves again, like it.
I've been on this corner, like, I think it feels like, Alan's
kind of screwing around with Bayes lacking using him as kind
of The Whipping, Boy, on all of this, but I don't like the way
it's going down. I don't, I definitely like like,
all right, well, now you can just throw him against the
Wolves but I'm curious your thoughts.
When Brennan's was a source be when he came out, literally, I
said out loud. Dear God, they're going to get
this poor boy killed like that. Was that was the first thing
that came out of, like I said it to No One by myself.
Just astonished. It kind of reminded me of you.
Remember in the water boy, when they had that ESPN scene and
they're like in Michigan's trying out their towel boy at
wide receiver. It is just like some 12 year old
kid. He just gets pummeled.
That's what it looked like, that's what it felt like.
I don't know. I mean at this point what are
you gonna do? You can't stop anybody, you
know. And we'll Oh, stations can have
a field day. I mean, this is I really don't
know what to do. I there's no quarterback that's
going to come in and make this situation.
Any better, you know, unless you have somebody who's super mobile
and your plan is just, you know, be a running option team, but I
don't know, it's just, it's like you just on your off week.
You kind of basically make it base lacks fault and your bench
him and that he come out and say how he was injured.
But now it's like, Is he was so injured that he couldn't get
better over an off week and a game and he's so injured in the
game against Penn State that he can't even dress but yet he's
not so injured that within two days later you can name the
starter for Ohio State, it feel any like at this point being a
starter behind that offensive line for Ohio.
State is almost like a punishment and it feels like
you're punishing Bay's like twice, like you're basically
making him the scapegoat for the season and then it's like oh
yeah. I'm going to make you go take
the worst assignment of the year.
Yeah. What he tells them to it.
He's just got his arms folded over like a stock of hey it is
mouth like the guy from Cool Hand Luke you know like yeah
guess who's lying enough baton center today boys you know is it
gonna be like lots of good references here?
Like the rebuff it was kind of obvious Scott Baio where he was
a quarterback, not The Replacements but Scott, Bakula
Bakula. Yeah, sorry.
Scott back. Yeah, we're like very roughness.
Thank You thank goddess of getting old, but he's like,
running around the referee, blows the whistle blow, the
whistle blow, the whistle. It's going to be just like that,
except without Sinbad. Yeah.
And no, Kathy Ireland. All right, it's gonna be ugly.
Let's go. I got to know that I'm in.
I bet that. All right, we got Hawaii.
Playing a Utah. State Hawaii is at home.
Have they been favorite for anything?
I don't think so. They already 11:00.
They were favorites against like, Duquesne or somebody some
FBS team doesn't count. Yeah.
They are 11 and a half Point underdogs against Utah State.
I think the Aggies cover. This thing that I yeah, Hawaii
still bad and yeah, give me Utah.
State to cover. I like that actually.
OK, I got one more for you. Love o tonight.
We have a Indiana basketball. Indiana playing Bethune-Cookman.
It's that Assembly Hall. Indiana is a 32 and a half Point
favorite. What do you think over-under at
143? I like the over total over is
going to look good there. I think he'll go to Draft Kings.
He over unders 140. Oh well even better.
So yeah go ahead and get it on that I think I tweeted, I
tweeted I got a teaser parlay on.
Three college, basketball totals tonight.
So, a teaser parlays where you take the normal line and these
tracked, a few points. So you essentially get an
alternate line. So, like my three leg, I get
four points on each of the legs and it's plus 1, 72 hours or
something like that. And I know what only, I know it
would only add like 12 cents to every bet but we are at a point
where you can just put the Ohio State football, money line in
every bet you want to put the X2 two half days.
Absolutely. I mean like again it only adds
like a buck or you know, fifty cents, but it makes you feel
good to be like, oh man, I had a 19, like, any anything you hit a
three team parle. It's like I hit a 14 Farley.
You can just, you can and bottle.
So you could do that with probably like, you know, IU
basketball. But definitely with Ohio State
football, you can add an extra leg to any of your parlance.
Yes. And with basketball, don't
forget in-game betting, his is great.
A Tim basketball. Yeah, you can, you can really
get some good value. As I did with the Nuggets
Pacers. Yes, exactly.
I actually had the Pacers money line before the game, because I
had + vods on it. And I was like, yeah, there's a
chance, they won't four or five or whatever.
They were a big and I was like, should I heads down to my bath?
Then I got away. Wasn't watching the game came
back. I was like, ah, shit.
Sometimes you win. Sometimes you don't.
I probably, you know, I could have easily gotten Denver to win
at the same odds, I got the Pacers to win.
Or even better, you know? So it was great and I want all
the bets, but also, it's like as a Pacers fan, you know,
Halliburton played really well dude.
Matheran is the stud. Well, he is so good.
He's so legit. He carries himself like an MBA
like an NBA player so he they both look great Myles.
Turner had a good games, when get him traded, it's like you
competed, you played hard and then you also lost, which is
great because it's like I want one too.
Shyama. So it's like that was kind of a
great night all around. Speaking of losing teams from
the Circle City, I have a thought on this cold situation,
okay, so I have an analogy that I think works here.
So see if you follow me, okay? You work, you are the CEO of a
company, right? Okay.
Or or your you're in charge of making decisions.
All right, and you're Frank Reich in this situation, okay?
And the board of directors, Fire me.
Is this the end of my time at Crimson?
Cassis? What's going on?
You're the board of directors, Jimmy or saying in this
situation. Okay?
So what we say, we find out that there's been a hack in RIT, you
know, the some cyber sort of cybersecurity hack and
Somebody's gotta pay. So you fire the CTO, that's
Marcus Brady, right? Okay.
And then, you know, it's your responsibility now, mr.
CEO, and, and guess what? We get we get hacked again,
right? So you're gone.
Okay, you're out of here. Mr. CEO and so, I as the board
of directors or Jimmy or say, need to bring in somebody whose
specialty is in it, okay, so I bring a new new CEO who's an IT
expert, IE the Colts offense of line.
Jeff Saturday. That's the only way this makes
sense in my head and even that as a damn stretch.
So that's where I'm at. That's my analogy.
But it's the only way that I could make it make sense in my
head and I thought somebody might find that useful.
I like it. No, I think I think you're
right. I think there's some logic to
that. I think you're overthinking and
I think there's no way tumors. I put that much thought into it.
Well, that's that's it. My another would be Yeah, my
analogy would be like when you're walking like, you know,
when you're walking down the street and you see like a
homeless person peeing, on the side of the road, and you're
like, man, why would, why would somebody do that?
Like, I need to talk some sense into them.
It's like, no. Like, they're, they have mental
problems. Like they're not in the same
mental from mental fight, you know, mental space that you and
I are that's how I look at Jimmy or say it's like he's not
looking at this, you know, three-dimensional chess.
It's just like oh, like very similarly minded is watching.
ESPN my God. Jeff Saturday.
Oh yeah, he played for the Colts, like I'm gonna Fire him.
Westfield's going downhill if you're seeing homeless people
peeing on the sidewalk. Well, now like when one goes to
another one, goes to another city.
Yes. No, I totally get it.
Like it's, this whole thing's a train wreck and yeah, I love my
Colts, but I'm also hoping they lose every game as well.
So, you know, I watch them. Beat the Raiders on Sunday, the
NFL is impossible to bet people if you figured it out, good for
you but it is It never makes sense.
All right. Well, awesome James.
Appreciate it. Have to run early this week, but
good luck out there. Be safe, and hopefully you can
win like I did on the Pacers nuggets.
Until next time, this is Scott for James for Crimson cash
signing off. Most never know.
I am up front here, you know and you know and that's I will
football.
