You're listening. To the back.
Home network presented. By Home Field Apparel.
All right, cash sound is out there.
It is time for Crimson cash got here with you excited to get
going. We got James on the line before
we get to that before we get to James, just a shout out to two
of our friends in the back home network in here on Crimson cast.
Of course, you know home field apparel coaches jackets are out.
They are slick. It's funny.
I I originally looked at the the list and I was like they don't
have as many and like I couldn't see IU.
It's kind of a bummer. Didn't realize, you know, just
it's on me on on me for my web browser, a little arrow at the
bottom page one of five S go to page 2 and there is the Indiana
coach's jacket. It looks awesome.
I didn't pre I because of that because of my dumb arrow
ability. I didn't pre-order.
So they are out of my size already.
I either need to lose some weight, which I've been needing
to do for like 25 years or wait for the reorder.
So probably going to wait for the reorder, but go check them
out. There are tons of great coaches
jackets out there, tons of great shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies,
everything you want out there. If it's your first time, use the
promo code home 23. Get 15% off your first purchase.
Another friend of ours is Upland Brewery, A friend of ours, a
friend of mine, a friend of James in front of everybody's
viewer at the game last week at the tailgate.
You probably saw the Hoosier game day Logger.
It's got the cream and Crimson candy stripe beer bottle.
The thing is fantastic. It's for sale at Assembly Hall
and Memorial Stadium and anywhere you your local Upland
Brewery company is, they have some up here in Westfield.
They obviously have them in Bloomington and and tons of beer
and liquor stores around the state of Indiana.
Check out the Hoosier game day lager.
Enjoy it with your friends. Upland Brewing Company reminds
you to drink responsibly and go Hoosiers.
James my man, you were there for game one of the Signetti era.
What you think? I was It was a long day.
Tailgate opened up real early, my son and I got there about
9:30 in the morning and Galen had a great spread.
Tons of people came by, the mood was great, everybody was excited
and then turned out we end up getting sunburnt and I don't
even think about it cuz it's supposed to be like overcast and
like 70. One, those are the worst days.
Those are the hazy, the hazy worst days.
It. Was supposed to be perfect and
then it ended up being like 85 and like the sun was beating
down on us so my son and I actually left at halftime so.
Oh my God, You're one of the problems.
You're one of the issues. Well, he was overheating and
looked really red. So I said OK, well we can split
and we went to Hartzell's. So it was a, you know, we're
not, we didn't lose too bad on that deal and we were able to
watch the rest of the game on TV.
So. So no, it was a really good
time. I hope Coach Signeti doesn't get
mad at myself and my son for that.
But it was a a situation where we've just been out in the sun
for too long. So, you know, and that's part of
it, you know, and look, this wasn't the bucket game.
This wasn't, you know, we're close to Michigan in the
second-half of a, you know, game like this was, you know, a game
we should have handily won. And we did.
So I get it, you can justify it any way you want.
You're part of the problem, understand?
Yep, absolutely. What do you think of the the
Signeti student shirts? Well, as a as a as a for as a
smoker or a fan of smoking. Yes.
Oh I love it. They're fantastic T-shirts.
The the biggest size I could find was large, so unfortunately
that's probably not going to work for me once I wander it for
the first time. Right, so so I'm.
Only going to get one shot at wearing this thing, but my son's
got his. We picked up one for Galen.
So yeah, that was great. I love those.
Shirts. Those things are awesome.
I still am not quite sure. We talked about a little bit in
the last pod. I'm not sure how you get away
with that without getting sued by Marlboro, but who cares?
It's great. Look, Philip Morris can use all
the free advertising for their cigarette products.
I mean, you know, cigarette advertising is restricted
anyways, right? So if people can associate, you
know, as long as IU football is not horrible, you know what I'm
saying? It's it's you know, it could be
free advertising if you're. Going to wear it, you got to go
out there and and win. I mean, Duke, Duke's has to pay
for Mayo, you know, type T-shirts, you know, like, you
know, Pop Tarts is paying for, you know, bowl sponsorships.
Philip Morris is getting this for free.
Yeah, it's kind of like what would happen with the IS Are the
Mets paying for their grimace nonsense?
Like they're getting free advertising there too.
And it's for young kids, too, which is exactly who they want
to market. For right, so true.
Maybe not good for the health, but that's what they want.
All right, let's go through the lines.
We're going to try and be a little bit quicker because we
have a lot of games to go through.
We have Western Illinois and Indiana.
The Friday night game I'm I'm showing Action Network has no
line on this one. Indiana covered the first week
line, which is great. So do you have a line out there
on it or is it off the board? There are no lines anywhere for
this game as of yet. Generally when it's a team of
Western Illinois caliber, I believe they're FCS, right?
Or whatever it is, yeah. The old Division two, but then
they they have lines like teams, plays these kind of teams all
the time. So I feel like the lines are
like 40 or 50 points. Yeah, but generally they don't
come out till the day of the game so so we probably won't get
one until tomorrow. I'm guessing the Hoosiers are
favored by 35 1/2. Would you bet?
How many? At what point would you stop
betting Hoosiers in the points? I don't think I'm going to bet
this game just because I still don't know what to do.
They screwed me over last week with that touchdown run at the
end of the game, and that killed that killed me.
So. So I'm going to stay away and
just enjoy watching the game. That's where I'm at with the
Hoosier this week. Yeah, I.
Probably. I may I may look at some prop
bets if there are some prop bets available.
Yeah, I would say anything over props.
Yeah, I would say anything over 30.
I'm not comfortable betting IU to cover a 30 point spread.
I. I say if it's over 28 1/2, I'd
probably stay away from it. Yeah.
All right. Next up we have Duke going to
Northwestern. Northwestern, which got tons of
love for their their field out there.
We haven't seen the Connor Onion punt go into the water yet.
Duke is a 2 1/2 point underdog at the the new Northwestern
field. Whatever we're calling it.
Watching that game with, like, the sailboats in the background
reminding me, like, playing an old Nintendo game when, like,
they don't really know what a football stadium would look
like, but they got an idea that it might look like this, you
know? So that's kind of what it felt
like watching it. I think.
Duke goes in and pulls off the upset.
I'm taking the Blue Devils on the money line here.
OK, lot straight up. I like it.
The money line pick of the week. Next up, wonder if we have
another money line pick here. We have tenant Texas going in to
Ann Arbor, MI. I, for the life of me, I, I
think these games that they're fun, I like them, but I mean, no
one's in charge of college football.
I'm surprised if we'll still see these games in three or four
years like this because you're Michigan, you have a brutal Big
10 schedule ahead of you. I think they're playing USC in a
couple weeks. Like, what do you need Texas for
on your schedule? Like you, you win them all.
You win all but one. You're still making the College
Football Playoff. I think these games are going to
be going away soon. All that said, we have it this
weekend. Texas goes in as a 7 1/2 point
favorite going into the Big House.
Yeah, I don't like that hook there.
I'd like to get it a little lower, but I think Texas wins
this and I probably think they win by double digits.
I think I think they're a much better team from what I saw last
weekend, and I think they win by 10.
But yeah, that's what I like. I like Texas.
Next up we have Akron going to Rutgers.
Rutgers completely. They had a huge line last week
and covered which was surprising.
They have to do it again. They are 22 1/2 point favorites
this week at home. I mean, who would have who would
have thugged Rutgers back-to-back doing 20 plus point
lines? Yeah, I know.
And them covering last week against the dreadful Howard
team. The over under on this game is
at 39 1/2. I don't really like that.
I don't really like this line at all.
I'm going to stay away from it. A gun to my head.
I'm taking Akron and over three touchdowns though against
Rutgers, it just, I don't know, Rutgers, I find it.
I still find it hard to have Rutgers giving that many points
to a Mac school. I know.
Even a shitty Mac school like. Akron we have.
Next up we have University of Rhode Island and Minnesota.
I guess Rhode Island is Division Two or FVS and football, because
there's also no line on this one as well, correct?
So let's just move on because it's not even worth talking
about. Speaking of big lines, we have
Bowling Green going into Penn State.
Penn State is a 35 point favorite, No hook, 35 straight
up 35 point favorite, Happy Valley Scott.
Do you know who the quarterback is for Bowling Green?
Brent Sorsby. I don't know.
Connor Basilak. Very close.
Good guess. Give me Bowling Green here, plus
5 touchdowns, which is a ridiculous number.
You like you like them to cover or you like Bowling Green to to
cover that. Yeah, I just too many points,
way too many points to lay. Next up we have the Battle of
Iowa. This is sure it's like the the
Hawkeye trophy. You have Iowa State going into
Iowa. I love doing the over unders for
them. Iowa is a 3 1/2 point favorite
over unders. 35 1/2 for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
All right, so last week we had Iowa on the under 41 and by
kickoff it was 37. So it's 35 right now.
Who knows what this will be by kickoff or 35 1/2.
Now I'm going to take the under here just because it's Iowa.
Always a good call. Always a good call.
Eastern Michigan is going to Washington.
Washington 24 1/2 point favorite.
Yeah, I have no idea what to do here first, so I'm going to, I'm
just going to, I'm just going to say I don't know.
Yeah, gun in my head, I have picked here Eastern Michigan
plus the points, but I don't know why I picked that.
I just seems like a lot of these big lines and I don't know.
Teams may be looking forward to next week.
I don't know who they got, you know, like they got a bigger
game next week maybe. I don't know.
I know nothing about Washington. OK, so no betting advice for
you. I think that's that's the key
here is like, don't, don't bet this game.
Don't bet on my advice, that's for sure.
That's probably true for all of us.
All right, we have a Big 10 game, like a Big Ten alert, Big
10 teams, Michigan State, who really struggled to beat their
Florida, I think Florida Atlantic this week, last week,
playing at Maryland. Maryland is a 9 1/2 point
favorite. This is one of my favorites of
the week in the Big 10. I love the Terps to cover here.
I think Michigan State is as bad as we thought they'd be, and
they're lucky they didn't lose that game last week.
And Maryland rolled in their game handily covered.
And so, yeah, give me the Terps here.
I really like them. All right, it took me two clicks
to figure out what this team was because it's just SDSDAK, so
Stack. But the South Dakota Coyotes, I
mean, again, no, no line here against Wisconsin.
We're just going to move on unless you have something you
want to say. Nope, I got nothing.
Yeah, a lot of nothing games coming up.
I think first couple weeks are always kind of like this.
It's like do you want to take a big point line or not?
Kansas coming in ranked ranked 19th as playing at Illinois.
Illinois only a 5 1/2 point favorite at home or sorry,
sorry, 5 1/2 point underdog. Sorry, underdog at home, Yeah.
Yeah, I like The Jayhawks to cover here.
I think there's going to be a lot of points scored in this
game, but I don't think Illinois will be able to keep up with
them. I'm.
Going to need your help on this next one because this is going
to be one of our side bets of the week.
Every week we have Western Michigan, which I'm now keeping
track of the Walt Bell offense betting lines Western Michigan
going into Ohio State. Ohio State's a 37 1/2 point
favorite. What is the Is there a prop line
on Western Michigan points total for this game?
You know, Scott, a proper podcast host would have done
their research, no? I'm I'm teeing it up to you.
And it had that number ready for you.
However, I do have some thoughts on this.
Game. I love Ohio State to cover that
for the very reason you mentioned because of Walt Bell.
And then if we look at the team total for Western Michigan, they
have it listed on DK right now at over under Guess.
Guess what it is? Over under, I would say, I mean,
it's either going to be 7 1/2 or 10 1/2.
Hold on, hold on. Don't say anything yet because
the over under for the game is 54.
I'm just, I'm doing my doing my work here.
They're they're saying Ohio State's a 37 point favorite.
I'm going to say it's a I'm going to give him 10 1/2 as the
over under. 7 1/2. 7 1/2 All right, so I I knew I was one of
them. God, I mean, that's the I don't
know if I can go under. That's like because you you
could have a just a stupid touchdown.
Well, yeah, and then you get your 7.
I don't know what else they're. Going to be able to get.
You could have like a dumb fumble.
You're you're you're really. You are playing with.
Fire. You're playing with fire.
Because yes, I'm not sure the Walt Bell offense is going to be
great, but it's like you could have a a stupid pick six and
then a field goal. And it's like his offense really
gave you like, I almost want like Walt Bell like contingent
points for that bet, like all defensive points or stupid
points don't count. But yeah, I wouldn't bet the
under on that, would you? We'll.
See, if I do, I'll post it. Please do.
Please do all right, the two of the maybe most hyped teams
unwarranted. Every year we got coach prize
and we got Coach prime coming in Colorado playing at Nebraska.
Your favorite with the balloons? I know you love it.
Nebraska is a 7 1/2 point favorite.
Yeah, I like the Huskers to cover here, actually.
OK, I, I, I'm, I'm due to, I'm not sure, Colorado.
'S good. Well, and I think Matt rolls a
really good coach and it's only a matter of time before I think
he can get things rolling there On the other side, I don't think
you have a very good football coach.
So that's I'm going to put this one up to coaching.
And Nebraska's stacked with talent compared to Colorado and
Colorado couldn't stop anybody. So yeah, give me the Huskers to
cover. Well, there you go.
James is not a fan of Coach Prime.
Let's get it out there. And maybe he Coach Prime's
already like taking people off his media list.
Maybe he can call out James on Crimson Cash.
That would be awesome. Still refuse to do Crimson Cash
interviews. Yeah, like it.
It'd be great in one of his pressors.
Like, man, I'm just like, screw that, James at Crimson Cash.
Like our, our numbers go through the roof.
That'd be awesome. Bring it, Coach Prime.
I mean, obviously that the the the million to one odds on that,
but I would say if that happens, it's like coach, you're spending
way too much time on social media.
If you've come down to our podcast.
All right, Next up we got Boise State going to Oregon.
Oregon looks scary. They are a 21 point favorite
against Boise. Yeah, I got an over under 61
1/2. Here you can get it at 60 1/2
I'm showing at if you go to BET MGM, but go ahead.
Excellent. I have BET MGM account so I will
take the over there. I like points.
Boise practically scored that many points last week on their
own. I think they'll be able to put
up some points. I think Oregon's going to shake
off a little rust from last week where they were a little
sluggish on offense. I think they'll get right and I
expect a lot of points here. Speaking of points, you, you
kind of screwed us last week with LSU and USC.
Or I guess they screwed us by not putting up enough points.
No kid, I know that's still a fun game.
Side note to that game, I watched that game, that was
great. I enjoyed Les Miles.
Oh, no, no, sorry. Brian Kelly, that old coach,
Brian Kelly, the LSU coach, like just standing there with that
total like, I just kind of shit my pants face look and just
looking out like as USC scoring and LSU is not doing much.
He just kind of looks befuddled. And then in the press conference
he's like, you know, banging the table and and yelling and stuff.
It's like, hey coach, how about some of that anger, like during
the game next time, like maybe throw a little bit of emotion
like he just looked completely zonked out during the game and
then in the post game just gets all pissed.
Like maybe some of that I don't think it would have mattered,
but just maybe some of that during the game.
Just FYI. Well, that post.
Game thing seemed a little contrived.
I mean, he had the bottle perfectly positioned so that
when he slammed the table the bottle would go.
I mean, it was like, I, I think that thing was staged.
That was fo outraged there because I mean, I mean, I
giggled when I saw it. I was like, if this guy came in,
yelled at me and I'm like, you know, one of the LSU players,
I'm like, who the fuck are you? Yeah, who's this guy?
So we'll go to the last game of the Big 10 slate.
We have Utah State going to USC, moving up to 13th in the
rankings. USC is a 28 1/2 point favorite
at home. Yeah, this is another one.
Not sure what to do here. I like the points so I like the
over here. You're going over again on USC,
you're going to go there. Yeah, I'm going to try it again
because I think Utah State will do their part.
OK, 63 1/2 is what you need to get for the over there.
Yeah, I don't love it. I'd rather have 62 and a.
Half that's that's the way. That's the way Vegas always does
it, my friend. Oh yeah.
Any any final parlays or combos you want to put together for the
weekend? Yeah, I got a few things here.
So if you want to do a money line parlay, I got one for you.
Well, if you take Texas, Maryland and Nebraska, all just
a win straight up. That's plus 137, so that's the
bet I like the bet I'm going to take.
I also plan on doing a little tease here where I'm going to
tease down Ohio State to 32, which I think they'll easily
cover. And I want to tease down
Nebraska as well. And I want to tease down
Maryland. So I, I, I can't stress enough
how much I really like Maryland over Michigan State big here.
That's when I plan on putting in a few things, especially
Maryland on the money line, Them being at home, the wall bell
factor in that Ohio State game, of course.
And then Nebraska, you know, they tease that down to 1 1/2
and you're practically the money line.
So those three on a tease will get you 160.
So I like that. I like that a lot.
All right. Do you have any for for me, I
will say the one the one big NFL futures that I like.
I think it's like 9 1/2 wins the Jaguars season total over.
I I like them to to beat their over.
So I'm just throwing that out there as we talk betting.
Stuff you do. I do.
I think the Jags are going to be good and.
And what are you basing that on? I I think Trevor Lawrence had a
bad year last year. I like this receiver.
They got Brian Wilson, Brian Thomas junior Brian Wilson, he's
he's like 66, ran the second fastest 40 in the combine.
I got him on fantasy too. I look at that division, it's
like I think they're, you know, they were the Texans.
I have both them and the Texans to to win their over games.
I also think one of the two of them are going to be they're
going to win the AFC South. And so I've actually, I also can
do, you can do an exact order bet, which I like.
So you do the Texans, Jags, Colts and Titans.
I think the Colts will finish third.
I think the Titans will finish 4th.
And then I just bet two different ways.
So you bet one with the Texans winning and one with the Jags
winning with the Colts and the Titans at 3:00 and 4:00.
And what's that payout? I, I've not looked at it.
I, I forget, I forget what it pays out pretty good.
I mean, it's like, it's like you're getting like 70 or 80
bucks on a $10 bet. Well, I have a few prop bets as
well for NFLI. Have the Colts drafted Laatu
Laatu in the first round? 12 plus sacks on the season at
plus 650. Oh, you like that?
I do. I took a boost on it and I'm
getting it at plus 865. So I mean, he's his over under
is at 8 1/2 on even money. So to think he might sneak in a
few more isn't out of the realm of possibility.
And then I have Jonathan Taylor to have 1500 plus rushing yards
plus 1200. I think he's going to have a big
year this year. I think he stays healthy.
I also have Indiana to make the Big 10 championship game at plus
11,250 odds. I love it, I love it.
That's that could all be taken away when in a week.
And then I parlayed the Colts over 8 1/2 regular season wins
with Penn State under 10 1/2 regular season wins.
OK, And that's it, plus 213. So those are the ones I like.
Those I, I think the Jonathan Taylor won it plus 1200 odds.
I think that's pretty good odds. I agree, he's done it before so
if he can stay healthy I think he'll definitely do it again.
I think their RPO is going to be tough to stop this year.
I agree. I also, I threw it, I think it's
like 5 to one or six to one. But I this, this is, I'm
stealing this completely from, from Bill Simmons and the Cousin
Sal podcast. But they say it every year.
It's like, look at Patrick Mahomes MVP bet as a mutual
fund, like it'll pay out once every four years.
Just keep betting it until he's no longer good.
And so I do look at it as like, if you, if it's 5:00 to 1:00, if
he wins MVP in one time, sometime in the next three
years, not five years, you're going to make, you're going to
make some money. So I I'm betting Pat Mahomes to
win MVP basically every year from now on until I don't think
he's going to win anymore. It sounds like Trevor Lawrence
is going to win it, according to you.
Well, they're. Going to win the division, not
the MVP. I also bet CJ Stroud's like 15
to one or like 12 to one or something, so I bet him too.
Oh. OK, well, that's not a bad, not
a bad bet. Yeah, I've never won though.
I always suck at those like really bad yeah and then and
then those are the ones were bat and like it looks so obvious
afterwards too, which is so annoying so.
Well, MVP is tough to vote for because it's not a stat, you
know, I mean, people choose it. So it's really a popularity
contest and different people have different criteria.
So it's really difficult to bet things like that that are so
subjective. Agreed.
All right, Well James, I look forward to this weekend and then
next week is going to be a little interesting because on
Thursday I'm flying out to LA for the UCLA game.
So I will be out there. So we will either try and do it,
I'll talk to you offline. We either do it before Thursday
or maybe we'll try and do it live somewhere in LA.
Maybe we do a walk and talk or maybe I see you have you send me
your pics and we do this one. So we'll see how Crimson Cash
goes next week, but no question, we'll be back in two weeks for
sure doing it again. But we will see in in a week how
we do as I'm I'll be in LA. As long as you and Galen don't
bring your curse with you, I'm fine.
Yeah, we haven't had, well, we, I mean.
What, you guys are like Ted Cruz attending a game?
What are we? What are what?
Where's our curse? We went to the we went to the
Outback Bowl. That didn't go well or sorry.
I went to the Gator Bowl. I did not go to Outback.
He went to Outback without me. Iowa.
We both went to Iowa. A lot of people went.
To Iowa, the basketball game in Las Vegas.
That didn't go. We both went to New York and we
won a game there. OK, the basketball game in
Lawrence, KS. I didn't go to that one.
Are you sure? I'm I'm sure, yes, I'm sure.
Yes, I am sure. No, you're right.
We, we have a good number of games that we've lost.
I would also venture that a lot of the marquee games we've had
over the last seven years we haven't won anyway.
Even the ones we haven't gone to, we've not had a lot of
winning marquee games on the road in either sport.
That's also very true. I'm not going to the the
basketball Atlantis thing. So maybe that'll maybe that'll
help. This is this is going to be a
great one. I'm, I'm, I continue to say, I
think it's going to be a lot of IU fans that LA game.
I don't know, I'm curious to see.
I I think so. I think IUS got a good alumni
base there. I think people are fired up.
But is the alumni base there, like the alumni base everywhere,
where it's still football, you know?
I don't know IA couple of the friends I know who are out there
who went to IU, they're they're excited.
We'll we'll see. We will see.
I'm I'm expecting like 30% IU fans in the stadium.
So I could be I could be wrong. Wow.
I'll take the under. All right, let's bet that and
then I'll take pictures and you can, we can break it down like
pull down the picture and actually draw like little
sections and try and you know, maybe 25%.
That's a good job for AI, yeah. Oh, let's get, yeah, let's get
AI on it. All right, man.
James, thanks for joining us. Everyone out there.
Thank you for listening. And we will be back next week or
the week after at some point. So for James, this is Scott for
Crimson Cash signing off. Post time.
