1
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,760
You're. 
Listening to the back home 

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,120
network presented. 
By Home Field Apparel. 

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,600
We are back on Crimson Cash, 
James, what's up, man? 

4
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,480
We're just, we just, I mean, 
like, let's stop, start the pod.

5
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:29,920
You're asking me how Pasadena 
was? 

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,880
How you doing man? 
I'm great, great, man. 

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,120
I was stuck in Indiana for the 
game, But man, I'll tell you 

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,840
what, I had a great time 
watching it. 

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,800
How was it out there? 
It was awesome. 

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,120
It was awesome and there was so 
many IU fans wandering around 

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,480
Pasadena, the venue that there's
an alumni event beforehand that 

12
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,320
a lot of us went to that was was
very well done by IU. 

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,080
And although no Upland Brewery 
there. 

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Who's your game day Shout out to
them. 

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560

first purchase. 
There you go to get all the. 

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,319
Was there the game day vodka? 
There's there was, there was 

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,680
vodka. 
There was definitely vodka. 

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,680
No game day vodka, not the 
Hoosier Connect vodka, but shout

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,640
out to Home Field Apparel. 
There's a lot of that in the 

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,800
stands. 
And shout out to Upland Brewery.

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,800
But the stadium is, it's 
awesome, man. 

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Like we talked about in the in 
the pod with Galen, it's like 

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,760
all the concourses are outside. 
It's very unassuming. 

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080
But you get in and the place is 
big and there is, there's a good

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,520
IU contingent probably. 
I know I was saying 30% over and

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,680
over again. 
It probably closer to 2025%. 

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,160
But we were loud. 
We are proud. 

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,160
And then I think for most of us,
it was kind of a very just kind 

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,040
of UN unusual experience. 
It's like we're winning and then

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,200
we're beating them and then 
we're taking control and then 

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,040
we're watching UCLA fans walk 
out and it's like we weren't 

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160
used to how to handle ourselves 
with that. 

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,800
What came through on the 
broadcast, like the IU fans 

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,920
really came through on the 
broadcast. 

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,320
That was really cool to hear. 
I mean, you could hear, you 

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,080
know, IU, you know, chance out 
on the stands. 

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,720
And I mean, that was just 
awesome. 

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,120
It was awesome. 
Yeah, How was I've not gone back

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,720
and watched the game? 
What was the broadcast view of 

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:18,600
of how they saw things? 
I mean, it became pretty evident

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,560
that IU was the dominant team 
and and it just became a lot of 

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,760
that. 
And how good is Curtis Rourke 

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,520
and how how many receivers do 
they have? 

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,000
Like you really, Donovan McAuley
had what? 

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,600
One catch in the entire? 
Game, I know like only a couple 

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,160
of targets too. 
And that dude is like all 

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,640
American level talent, like, and
he hasn't even hardly played 

49
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:41,040
this year. 
I mean, he's had some injury 

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,680
issues. 
So, you know, he's getting back 

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,320
in the swing of things, but 
imagine what they could be. 

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,240
My goodness, in that running 
back room. 

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,080
I know a lot of it. 
We, you know, Sydney has really 

54
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600
turned this thing around. 
This is a whole different world 

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,560
we're living in. 
Yeah, I, I think this was an eye

56
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,920
opening experience for a lot of 
people. 

57
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,200
People like you and me and 
Galen, I think we were 

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,120
definitely, we, we understood, 
we saw some changes, but it's, I

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,960
think we also needed to see it 
happen. 

60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,520
And I've been saying this for a 
while, you know, even if UCLA is

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,240
not great, which maybe they 
aren't, it's like two things can

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,600
be true at the same time, where 
good Big 10 teams go on the road

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,720
and they decimate, you know, 
they, they curb stomp bad Big 10

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,760
teams. 
So you can be like, all right, 

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,280
UCLA is bad, but this is also 
what a good team does. 

66
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,200
Like it doesn't mean that IU 
can't also be good in that same 

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640
sentence. 
You know one of the things about

68
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,680
being an IU lifelong IU football
fan because I've seen a lot of 

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,160
bad football. 
I do what else I've seen, I've 

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,800
seen a lot of good. 
Football on the other. 

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Side, we play Ohio State every 
year we play Michigan. 

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,720
I know what a good football team
looks like. 

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,320
This is a good freaking football
team and they got a guy who 

74
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,480
knows what he's doing. 
And I can't wait till we've 

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,880
discussed the Charlotte game 
coming up this weekend. 

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240
You don't do it first or last. 
Let's do it last. 

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,760
We always save value. 
For us, Yeah, let's, let's save 

78
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,480
it for last. 
All right, Let's. 

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,040
Let's get into it. 
Do you need to do the the? 

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,880
I did it. 
The promos, I did. 

81
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,280
Home field. 
I did. 

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,280
I did a quick shout. 
We're trying to keep Crimson 

83
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Cash quicker, so excellent. 
Yeah, just home field apparel, 

84
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Upland Brewery, game day logger.
There you go. 

85
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Drink responsibly. 
Go IU Home 23. 

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,120
There you go. 
Look sharp, get buzzed. 

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Yeah, Galen is, is completely 
unhappy with this right now. 

88
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640
He's, he's not happy listening 
to this, but this is what he 

89
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,120
gets when I'm on my own, all 
right. 

90
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,760
He doesn't listen. 
No, I know this is really this 

91
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,680
is the core gambling Crimson 
cast fan base. 

92
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,840
You're probably right. 
So, yeah, we can kind of do 

93
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,800
whatever we want. 
Hey, I said the names, I said 

94
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760
the promo codes. 
We know we're fans of them. 

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,600
We we give them a lot of love on
this podcast. 

96
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Hope Field apparel, Upland 
Brewery and game day logging, 

97
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,000
game day logger. 
There you go. 

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,440
Game day logging is a whole 
different. 

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,480
That's that's when we play 
Oregon. 

100
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,840
All right, let's start with 
Illinois. 

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,680
Who who got the the ranking? 
Maybe we should have gotten the 

102
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,080
rank 24th in the country going 
to Nebraska and Nebraska is a 7 

103
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,680
1/2 point favorite. 
That This is why you know 

104
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,160
rankings don't really matter 
because Nebraska is ranked 22nd,

105
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,280
Illinois is ranked 24th, but yet
Nebraska is a 7 1/2 point 

106
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,080
favorite, which tells me that 
betting obviously Vegas thinks 

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Nebraska is way better than 
Illinois, so rankings don't 

108
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,680
always mean that much anyway. 7 
1/2 Nebraska hosting Illinois. 

109
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,840
I think Nebraska is better than 
Illinois as well. 

110
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,800
But what I do think is this will
probably end up being a 

111
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,840
slugfest. 
I don't see a lot of points 

112
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,440
scored in this. 
The over under sitting at 42 

113
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,120
1/2, I got a feeling this is 
like one of those like 20 to 10 

114
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,880
kind of like deals. 
I don't see a ton of points. 

115
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,160
I kind of like the under here. 
If you're looking at the spread,

116
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,760
I do think because we're looking
at a low scoring game, Illinois 

117
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,040
probably will cover that over a 
touchdown. 

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,280
But I think the under is 
probably the play on this game. 

119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,160
All right, we have Next up one 
one more week of these kind of 

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,280
crazy non Big 10 games. 
We have Villanova going into 

121
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,880
Maryland. 
Maryland is a 17 1/2 point 

122
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
favorite. 
Yes, this is an FCS school 

123
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,080
visiting a Big 10 school and 
it's a 17 1/2 point spread. 

124
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,320
So something's going on here 
because Maryland only beat or 

125
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880
they just beat Virginia by 14, 
lost to Michigan. 

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,280
State. 
What's that? 

127
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:19,920
Lost to Michigan State the week 
before. 

128
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,880
They lost to Michigan State the 
week before. 

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,760
We're going to over under 43 1/2
here. 

130
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,640
So Vegas doesn't think it's 
going to be completely a high 

131
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,440
scoring affair. 
In that instance. 

132
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,400
I'm going to take the points and
I'll take Villanova +2 

133
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,360
touchdowns and a field goal, 
Yeah. 

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,800
A lot of future Nick's going to 
be on that team also. 

135
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,560
That's the way, yeah. 
The entire starting line up of 

136
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,640
the 2027 New York Knicks. 
Knicks will be playing at 

137
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,040
Maryland football. 
All right, Next up we have we 

138
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,040
are Marshall. 
They are going to Ohio State and

139
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,880
they are a 40 point underdog 
and. 

140
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,880
They are not going to cover that
spread because Ohio State is 

141
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,760
going to roll in this one. 
This may be one of those 56 to 

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,280
nothing, 56 to 7 things. 
I think Ohio State's got the 

143
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:10,960
offense clicking. 
They know what they're doing 

144
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,720
over there and this is going to 
be a blowout start to finish. 

145
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Next up we have Rutgers going to
Virginia Tech Virginia Tech's 

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Tight 1 is a 3 1/2 point 
favorite. 

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,640
Right. 
We're going with the dog on the 

148
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,320
money line here. 
We're going to take Rutgers to 

149
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,160
win outright. 
Such a big Ted honk. 

150
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,960
You are just just such a big 10 
guy. 

151
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,160
I really am. 
I really am. 

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,920
But come on. 
The ACC? 

153
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,200
Virginia Tech is a middling ACC 
team. 

154
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,880
Rutgers is a below middling Big 
10 team. 

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,240
I'll take the Big 10 team on the
road. 

156
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,800
Why not? 
It's a it's an afternoon game. 

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,080
It's not going to be one of 
those, you know, crazy night 

158
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,320
affairs in Blacksburg. 
Get nuts. 

159
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Take the Scarlet Knights. 
Get nuts. 

160
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120
All right, Next up we have Kent 
State. 

161
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,200
I like the we are game we were 
playing, but Kent State this is 

162
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,640
this is a wild one, man. 
They are going to Penn State. 

163
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Penn State is a 49 point 
favorite. 

164
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,880
The over under is 55 1/2. 
So Vegas is saying Penn State is

165
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,040
going to crush Kent State, and 
Kent State won't even get a 

166
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,520
field goal or, sorry, a 
touchdown. 

167
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,680
Touchdown. 
Yeah, I don't know. 

168
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,760
That's so many points. 
I mean, Kent State is awful. 

169
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:32,200
They lost to Saint Francis 
College this year, so that's not

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:38,400
good. 49 points. 
There's no way a Tom Allen team 

171
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,799
is shutting somebody out. 
So I'm going to take Kent State 

172
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,120
plus the points there. 
I don't feel great about it, but

173
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,680
that's just 7 touchdowns. 
Is 2 big a spread? 

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,480
It's a lot all right. 
Next up are UCLA Bruins who just

175
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,440
got curb stomped by the Indiana 
Hoosiers. 

176
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,960
They're the rest of their 
schedule gets tough now they 

177
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400
they they've lost that moment in
the sun where they might have 

178
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:04,000
had a win. 
They're going to LSU playing 

179
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,200
it's Death Valley, right. 
What do they call their stadium?

180
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,040
It's like not Death Valley, 
Clemson's Death Valley, but they

181
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,600
also call there's like this not 
the swamp. 

182
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,520
It's. 
What, what? 

183
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,960
What do they call that thing? 
And I think they're so drunk by 

184
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,160
the time they get in the scene, 
they know what the fludges are 

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,640
calling it. 
I I. 

186
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Feel like they also call it 
Death Valley. 

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,080
I think they call it Death 
Valley, but I think. 

188
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,640
Of Death Valley like. 
Clemson, like Clemson's Death 

189
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Valley and then like Death 
Valley, CA is also Death Valley,

190
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,720
so. 
You feel like LSU is the least 

191
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,320
Death Valley of the you look it 
up while I finished giving 

192
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,640
spreads. 
If you can, I'll look it up 

193
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,760
while you're talking. 
We'll do it that way. 

194
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:43,160
So UCLA is going to LSU in some 
stadium name something, but LSU 

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,920
is a 2223 1/2 point favorite. 
Yeah, this is an easy one right 

196
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,600
here. 
Take the Bayou Bengals and lay 

197
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,840
those points. 
I think they're going to do to 

198
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:03,480
UCLA exactly what are you did. 
And Brian Kelly, he, he's 

199
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,240
probably put his hand on enough 
tables recently that his team 

200
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,880
will maybe respond. 
Even if the defense completely 

201
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,040
implodes like they have been for
LSU, there's no way UCLA is 

202
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,880
going to stop. 
LSUI heard reports out of LA 

203
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,600
this week that their practices 
had to be huddled up twice in 

204
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,200
the same day because of low 
energy, and they're potentially 

205
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,280
going to miss their two best 
defensive players. 

206
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:33,200
So I don't think this bode well.
Bodes well for the Bruins. 

207
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,840
I think LSU wins in a rob at 
least 4 touchdowns. 

208
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,040
Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's Death
Valley. 

209
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,880
I looked it up all right, Next 
up and I agree with everything 

210
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,160
you just said. 
And they had the 5 yard markers.

211
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,080
That's the. 
They do, and I also think having

212
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,360
watched a lot of poorly coached 
teams at IUUCLA had all the 

213
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,200
markers of a poorly coached team
like just they they looked kind 

214
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,880
of a hot mess at times so that 
normally wasn't. 

215
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,440
Well, the least Athletic League 
football team when I was a kid 

216
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,240
had better coaching than UCLA 
did last week. 

217
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,680
Here's a here's a line that I'm 
not sure I get. 

218
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,000
USC is going into Michigan. 
Michigan is a 5 1/2 point 

219
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,520
underdog. 
We saw when a good team goes 

220
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,600
into Michigan in Texas, they 
kick the snot out of Michigan. 

221
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,160
I think this to me, the question
is like, do you think USC is a 

222
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,720
good team or not? 
Because I'm not trying to answer

223
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,760
for you, but it's like I look at
this is like if you think USC is

224
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,840
good, I easily think they're 
going to cover a 5 1/2 point 

225
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,800
spread even in the big house. 
But I'm curious your thoughts. 

226
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,560
I don't know Dick about USCI 
watch a little bit of them 

227
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:41,960
against LSU. 
But what I do know is I've 

228
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,040
watched 2 Michigan games already
this year. 

229
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,840
They are not a championship 
football team. 

230
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,640
I think IU is going to beat them
this year and I I think they 

231
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,640
they won by 10 points against 
Arkansas State last week. 

232
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,680
Of course, we, we here at 
Crimson Cash saw that coming and

233
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:04,080
we took Arkansas State plus the 
points we did. 

234
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,600
And so I think Southern Cal 
rolls in here. 

235
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,360
I, I, I think 5 1/2 is easy 
money on this line, especially 

236
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,840
if you're looking at a teaser. 
I mean, you're good just to win 

237
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,000
if you're going to toss it on a 
teaser parlay. 

238
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,800
So yeah, I love Southern Cal 
here. 

239
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,440
I may even push that up to 9 and
a half and maybe get some plus 

240
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,720
odds on a few bucks, Who knows. 
I like that. 

241
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,280
That's a, that's a good idea 
because I think they could win 

242
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,000
by 10 or so. 
You're you're right on that. 

243
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,600
All right, Northwestern is 
joining in the party. 

244
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,200
I'm going to West Coast teams. 
Too late, man. 

245
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,320
First one's already happened. 
Sorry, Northwestern. 

246
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,560
We already did it. 
We won. 

247
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,120
We took care of business. 
But they're going to Washington,

248
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,160
a Washington that lost to 
Washington state. 

249
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,680
So, not sure what to make of 
them, but Vegas makes Washington

250
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:55,440
a 10 1/2 point favorite at home.
Yeah, I'm curious to see how, 

251
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,360
how these teams going to the 
West Coast do against non UCLA 

252
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
competition. 
I I got UCLA right. 

253
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,560
They may be the worst team in 
the Big 10. 

254
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,360
So so I'm curious to see how 
that pans out. 10 1/2 points. 

255
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,040
See it's a 7:00 start and you 
think, oh, night game. 

256
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,560
Oh, that's always good for the 
home team. 

257
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,320
This is actually a 4:00 start 
local time. 

258
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,080
So you know, it's it's an 
afternoon game. 10 1/2 points 

259
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,960
seems a bit rich for my blood, 
so give me the dog here. 

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,760
Who are the cats? 
The dog here, who are the cats? 

261
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,160
All right, Next up, the potent 
offense of the Iowa Hawkeyes is 

262
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,280
going in to row the boat with 
the Minnesota Golden Gophers. 

263
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,880
Minnesota is a 2 1/2 point 
underdog at home. 

264
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,120
I know we love the Iowa over 
unders. 

265
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,360
The over under for this game is 
35 1/2. 

266
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Yeah, the Iowa over under has 
not been good to us. 

267
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,560
No, so you know, there's that to
remember and this I would say 

268
00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:59,240
may not be great. 
Troy gave them all they could 

269
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,720
handle last week. 
We also had Troy getting the 

270
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,920
points in that 135 1/2, though. 
I kind of like the over here. 

271
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,440
I don't know why, but something 
makes me think we've been losing

272
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,080
a lot on Iowa over unders and 
this number is pretty damn low. 

273
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,360
I know. 
Over an Iowa game over. 

274
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,880
And a Minnesota over which I 
never do. 

275
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,120
Those are the two teams who 
usually go automatic unders. 

276
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,840
So I'm going to mark this. 
We're going to. 

277
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,160
Discuss this next week. 
This is not going to end well. 

278
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,520
This just people stay away. 
Stay away I. 

279
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,520
Have no I have no plan to bet on
this game, but I wouldn't be 

280
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,600
surprised if Minnesota wins. 
Outright, I would agree with 

281
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,320
that. 
All right, Next up you have and 

282
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,360
I love I love taking like the 
the dogs at home when you're 

283
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,080
only given a couple of points 
like it's oh. 

284
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,040
Yeah, it's in a rivalry game, 
too. 

285
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,680
They're playing for a trophy, 
right? 

286
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,440
But even the. 
Point of Rosedale or something? 

287
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,000
Yeah, but the money line's still
not great odds either. 

288
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,160
So anyway, Michigan State is 
going to Boston College, who 

289
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,760
looks like they could be good. 
Boston College is a 6 1/2 point 

290
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,600
favorite. 
Yeah, so we thought Michigan 

291
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,200
State was really shitty to start
the year, and that may still be 

292
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,600
the case because they're not 
world beaters, right? 

293
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,080
Boston colleges look decent and 
they gave Mizzou all they can 

294
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,920
handle for, you know, a little 
bit of the game before Mizzou 

295
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,200
pulled away last week. 
I'll take BC to cover. 

296
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,360
I don't love it. 
I'd stay away from it because 

297
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,640
Michigan State just seems to 
have some ability to get some, 

298
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,400
like, really big downfield 
shots. 

299
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,040
Yeah. 
And it's always tough when 

300
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
you're giving up almost a 
touchdown. 

301
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,840
This could be one of those field
goal games, especially with a, 

302
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,600
you know, an over under 45 1/2 
all. 

303
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,520
Right Next up we have Purdue who
Speaking of curb stomping, got 

304
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,960
curb stomp, which is awesome. 
Purdue going to Oregon State 

305
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,880
again another game, I think we 
joked about the last time where 

306
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Oregon State is just like, hey, 
if they played a Big 10 team 

307
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,000
last week or they played Oregon 
last week. 

308
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,920
So I think they're just like, 
hey, we're we're part of the Big

309
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,720
10. 
Like if we just keep playing Big

310
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,200
10 teams in off weeks, can we 
just be part of the Big 10? 

311
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,280
That would be awesome and not 
this weird mismatch of teams 

312
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,080
that are suddenly going to 
become the PAC 12 anyway. 

313
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,880
Purdue is going into Oregon 
State and Oregon State is a four

314
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,160
and a half point favorite at 
home. 

315
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,160
This game is on The CW is. 
It really is it after reruns of 

316
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,920
Dawson's Creek and. 
Yeah, it it's like between like 

317
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,600
Dawson's Creek reruns and like 
Maui show. 

318
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,480
Maybe Sabrina, I think. 
That was the WB or Paramount. 

319
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Never mind. 
So anywho, I this is one of my 

320
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,000
favorite bets of the week. 
I love Oregon State to cover 

321
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
here. 
Speaking of poorly coached 

322
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,400
football teams, Purdue may have 
been second on the list to UCLA 

323
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,040
of poorly coached Big 10 
football teams last week. 

324
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,280
They had no idea what they were 
doing and they couldn't stop 

325
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Notre Dame at all. 
Oregon State at least moved the 

326
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,720
ball on Oregon. 
Plus, it's a home game for him. 

327
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,200
Yeah, I love the Beavers. 
Love, love the Beaver. 

328
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,920
I'll let that one marinate out 
there. 

329
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,079
All right. 
Finally, we have the one we 

330
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:24,200
gave. 
We've been talking about 

331
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,680
Charlotte, the 49ers against our
coach Signeti, Coach Indiana, 

332
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,040
Hoosiers, Indiana. 
I think this is I, I would fair 

333
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,240
to say probably the last of our 
large lines. 

334
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,840
I'm not sure we'll get another 
28 point line this year, 

335
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
although I hesitate and I don't 
think there's anybody that bad 

336
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,480
left on our schedule. 
So I don't think we'll be a 28 

337
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,600
point dog against Ohio State. 
So maybe the last time we're in 

338
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,200
the high 20s, Indiana is a 28 
1/2 point favorite at home. 

339
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,440
This is a huge line. 
I know Charlotte sucks. 

340
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,320
All right, so let's, this is a 
pretty bad football team, all 

341
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:07,240
right. 
They had to rally from 21 points

342
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:14,200
down in the fourth quarter last 
week against Gardner Webb and 

343
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,200
they were able to secure A1 
point victory. 

344
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,320
They got beat by 23 by James 
Madison earlier this year. 

345
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,200
We have James Madison, but 
better. 

346
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,240
So I'm going to take the 
Hoosiers to cover this. 

347
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:35,320
If you look at 34 1/2 points, 
you're getting plus 153 on the 

348
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,600
spread. 
So if you want to take a few 

349
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,640
extra points, yeah, I think you 
could probably be safe in doing 

350
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,960
that. 
Signetti seems to be quite into 

351
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,640
making sure every play is 
absolutely executed to 

352
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,480
perfection, which leads to 
blowouts and big scores. 

353
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,440
So. 
So that's my reasoning behind 

354
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,880
it. 
I love the Hoosiers. 

355
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,120
I think they're going to win 
big. 

356
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,280
I think it's actually going to 
be a really boring game to 

357
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,240
watch. 
I won't be able to watch most of

358
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,320
it because I'm taking my son on 
a college visit this Saturday. 

359
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,480
So I will be, you know, watching
on my phone and, you know, 

360
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,640
listening in, but I won't be 
able to pay full attention. 

361
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,560
But I think this will be a walk 
in the park so. 

362
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,840
I agree. 
I mean, normally in these games 

363
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320
in previous years where we have 
trouble getting a spread like 

364
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,080
this is it's not always on 
offense like we we'll, we'll 

365
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,480
normally put up 3040 points 
against bad teams. 

366
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,680
It's just we let them put up 20 
or 30 points and then it becomes

367
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,120
a bit more of a shootout than we
want. 

368
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,240
This defense looks different 
also like this defense just 

369
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,800
looks like they want to put the 
clamps on every play. 

370
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,840
And Signetti, Signetti has 
infused this with the entire 

371
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,520
team where no one's taking plays
off. 

372
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,160
Everyone's playing hard all the 
time there doesn't, you know, 

373
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,680
mental mistakes seem to be 
addressed quickly. 

374
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,920
So like you, I can't believe I'm
saying this. 

375
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,800
I also agree. 
I like Indiana to cover a 28 1/2

376
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,320
point spread and I think it 
could be one where I I'd be 

377
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,800
curious to look at what the 
first half line is, if they put 

378
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,480
that out, what the spread of the
first half is because you might 

379
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,960
be able to get a first half like
21 and a 21. 

380
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Actually, 16 1/2 on FanDuel and 
17 1/2 on DraftKings right now, 

381
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
I would hit that. 
Harder than the 28 1/2. 

382
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,280
Oh, hammer it. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

383
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,120
Get your S wing your you know 
your contractor grade hammer and

384
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:27,080
go after it baby. 
Yeah, I think that that is 

385
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,480
honestly the play. 
And then throw Indiana money 

386
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,680
line on a bunch of other stuff 
that you want, like with the 

387
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,360
UCLA money line, it feels like 
some good. 

388
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,560
Money line, I mean, that money 
line is not going to pay out. 

389
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,400
It's, you know -6500 so you're 
not going to get much adding 

390
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,080
that on a, you know, money line.
What are our what when do you 

391
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800
start thinking of betting 
Indiana for College Football 

392
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Playoff being in that. 
Like, to make it. 

393
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,600
They weren't listed as an option
the last I checked, and that bet

394
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,680
wasn't available. 
It was to win the College 

395
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,200
Football Playoff. 
However, if you remember from 

396
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,080
our season preview episode, we 
do have a couple bets on IU to a

397
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080
make the Big 10 championship 
game and B to win it. 

398
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,520
These are, you know, $1000 
winners on $5 bets. 

399
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,320
So that would be absolutely 
nuts. 

400
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,840
Yeah, I would. 
I would put 5 bucks on IU to 

401
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,400
make the CFP if, like the odds 
were good enough. 

402
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,040
Yeah. 
I mean, you probably looking at 

403
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,600
+1000 odds at this point. 
But as the season goes on, I 

404
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,720
mean, you know, we had over 
under 5 1/2 at plus odds as a 

405
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,840
futures bet on FanDuel, and 
we're already halfway home on 

406
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,040
that. 
You know. 

407
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,480
Part. 
So that's unbelievable. 

408
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,480
Part of this I agree. 
Part of this is, you know, 

409
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,600
again, based on the soft 
schedule, which I'm not going to

410
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,360
apologize to anybody for, But 
when you ESPN has a, you know, 

411
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:51,920
playoff predictor and Indiana is
ranked on there as like has a 24

412
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,480
percent chance of making the 
playoff. 

413
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,280
But they then you can dig in and
like see what it would look 

414
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,920
like. 
And then they pull up the three 

415
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,920
hardest games on the schedule. 
So for Indiana, it's Nebraska, 

416
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,400
Michigan and Ohio State. 
And it shows you what is the 

417
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,280
prediction for each game. 
Indiana's predicted to win two 

418
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,600
of the three. 
They're predicted to win 

419
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Michigan, they're predicted to 
win Northwest. 

420
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,200
I'm sorry, Nebraska right now, 
they're predicted to lose Ohio 

421
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,320
State. 
So and then everything that 

422
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,480
those are the three hardest 
games. 

423
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,160
Everything else is a less hard 
game. 

424
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,800
So theoretically, the only game 
Indiana's predicted to lose on 

425
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,320
ESPN site is the Ohio State 
game, which is like, that's why 

426
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,360
everyone's kind of, you know, 
outside of the Indiana sphere 

427
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:30,840
kind of scoffing at like all 
three and O against garbage 

428
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,840
teams and like, you're 24% to 
make the playoffs. 

429
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,400
Like, well, because there's, 
there's a real possibility, like

430
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,920
we can keep on winning. 
Oh, absolutely. 

431
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,200
You know, and, and The thing is,
I don't think this is smoke and 

432
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560
mirrors. 
This isn't just a a horrible 

433
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,200
schedule. 
It's it could be two. 

434
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:50,120
Things it can be good and a a 
soft schedule. 

435
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,920
Yeah, you know, and I, I 
absolutely, I absolutely believe

436
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,520
we could be in Michigan. 
And, you know, the problem's 

437
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:02,480
going to be it's a lot different
to, you know, getting used to 

438
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,120
winning is a is, is that culture
shift that signetics looking 

439
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,880
for, you know, that's what he 
wants us to get rid of 

440
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,880
complacency, you know, and and, 
you know, that's a tough thing. 

441
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,680
So maybe, you know, if we 
struggled against Charlotte this

442
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760
weekend, that probably wouldn't 
be the worst thing on earth. 

443
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,200
You know, I could live with that
because it'd give him plenty of 

444
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,520
ammunition to use when it really
matters. 

445
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,440
But I just, I don't see that 
happening. 

446
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,480
They they they look like a well 
oiled machine last week. 

447
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,640
I agree and I I think if we saw 
we could see maybe a struggle 

448
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,520
against Maryland or 
Northwestern. 

449
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,960
Still winning the Maple Missile 
for a second. 

450
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,040
You what? 
The Maple Missile? 

451
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,720
Our quarterback, Curtis Rourke. 
Yeah, go ahead. 

452
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,400
He's Canadian. 
His nickname is Maple Missile. 

453
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,600
Everybody know this, all right? 
My dad was like, I can't 

454
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,720
remember the last time we had a 
quarterback this good. 

455
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,040
I think he looked like Nate 
Sutfeld. 

456
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,080
That's who he I was watching 
him. 

457
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,600
I was like, this is Nate Sunfall
out there. 

458
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,680
He's just, he sees everything 
that's going on and he's just 

459
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,600
carving him up at his will. 
And it was Nate Sunfall. 

460
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,600
I think it's still in the 
league. 

461
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,680
Still in the NFL. 
You know that it's who he 

462
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,280
reminds me of. 
I mean, he just makes excellent 

463
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,400
decisions and he's got a good 
arm and he's got some legs too. 

464
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,520
Who knew? 
Well, he's he's he's cagey in 

465
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,520
the pocket, like he can get out 
of sacks. 

466
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,720
Not even just running, but just 
kind of ducking under and stuff.

467
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,520
He's Yeah, I agree. 
Yeah, yeah. 

468
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,920
So, yeah, I think we are in, we 
are in great shape. 

469
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,560
If you, if you have a good 
senior quarterback, so many 

470
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,120
things just fall into place. 
It's amazing. 

471
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,080
Yeah.
