You you put me in a Matthew 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,080 Broderick movie. Like, I'm not saying I need to 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,640 be Ferris Bueller, but can I at least be the Matthew Broderick 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,280 from War games or the one where he, like, trains monkeys to do 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760 the the fighter pilots like you? You pick the most obscure 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,760 Matthew Broderick movie for me. I'm very disappointed. 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,880 No, you're lucky we gave you Matthew Broderick, so take the 36 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,600 win and move on. What? 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,360 Was Eric Stoltz off the table or? 38 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,400 Yes, there's that. I also will say, man, you are, 39 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,360 this would be like if I left my 10 year old home alone. 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,880 We always say one of our rules. Like no cooking, just that's 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000 always a rule, no cooking. But if he cooked and he's like I 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,040 turned on the stove and you know, I played with some matches 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,160 but the house isn't burned down, dude, you're betting Iowa over 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560 unders without me. Like you, you made it. 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,160 You made the over under I think 30. 46 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,040 But dude, stop doing that like that. 47 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,880 We have rules in place for a reason. 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400 We have a society built. There are laws. 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,360 Save yourself, my friend. Blame the referees for that one 50 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,440 because they fucking screwed over the Hawkeyes and and any 51 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,200 over betters there. I could not believe it. 52 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,480 It was that. Was the worst call I'd seen all 53 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560 year in football until the next day when I lost money on the 54 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,640 Colts from the worst call I've seen all year in football. 55 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,720 So don't get me started on that. But we did win our big bet. 56 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,480 You bet the under, right? I thought you went under on that 57 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,160 30. No, I went. 58 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120 I went over. I thought you went under. 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840 No, I went over. Oh, I take back my analogy then 60 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,800 you did burn the house down. I did no cooking. 61 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,960 My defense, I had it. That was. 62 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,920 I still don't get that call. I don't get how they can look at 63 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,840 the replay and overturn it. That's just boggles my mind, 64 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,800 James. Say it with me. 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,200 I will not bet Iowa over unders. I will not bet Iowa over Unders 66 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200 when Scott's around. All right. 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,040 I mean, OK. You're you keep those rules in 68 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,000 place. I would listen to yourself and 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,320 your 4O1K. Well, thank me. 70 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120 All right, let's look at this. By the way, those those two 71 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,440 Colts calls were bananas. Like that was that was a. 72 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,600 Great. I had them like plus 350 on the 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,280 money line that I grabbed earlier in the game and I was 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,560 convinced I was about to win that bet and Oh my God, the wife 75 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,880 had not seen me that angry at a football game in quite some 76 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,320 time. Was she a fan? 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,600 Did she? Did she enjoy that? 78 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,680 No, she usually leaves the house, so she's usually gone 79 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040 during all football events. Yeah, but this was so late in 80 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000 the game. She had returned home by then 81 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,279 and her and the dogs were quite confused. 82 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,600 So we are on a gambling you know discussion podcast. 83 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,840 I'll give you my so I went to the the Pacers game last night. 84 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,600 My son is is turning into a big NBA fan thanks to 2K. 85 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,840 So he has all kinds of odd NBA thoughts. 86 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,440 Like he's like big into like Alfred Sagun with the Rockets. 87 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,120 It's like just because he's on two Ki don't know lost. 88 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,600 So I have a we have a DTMT which is don't tell mom temporarily 89 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,480 because we end up telling mom everything anyway. 90 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560 But DTMTS which are we normally bet first to score at the game. 91 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,480 I let my son oddly named James also pick that we picked OB 92 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Toppin didn't didn't work out but I had a nice parlay I 93 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,560 thought you'd be proud of Pacers money line. 94 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,480 And then Benedict Mathurin to score 10 points, OB Toppin to 95 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,800 score 10, Kyle Kuzma to score 15, Halliburton to record 6 plus 96 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,760 assist, and Miles Turner to record one block. 97 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,560 And yeah, 10 bucks, 128 back. Nice. 98 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,720 I had a couple of bets on that game as well. 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,400 I had Mather and 18 plus and he barely got that, but he did. 100 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,320 And I had a parlay where I had Kuzma over 18 1/2. 101 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,480 I had Halliburton 10 plus assist. 102 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,760 And I had Miles Turner under 1 1/2 threes, so that hit too. 103 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,760 So it's good to have the NBA back. 104 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,080 Oh it is and and I will say if anything like last year the for 105 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,760 I'd say the 1st 2025 games, Matheran's point total per game, 106 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,280 which is way off. Like he was getting 1516 points 107 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,040 a game and he was like Matheran. Like you could, you could tease, 108 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,880 you could add like Matheran plus six points to a parlay for a 109 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,880 long time. Well, he was 14 1/2 last night 110 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,760 and I took it at plus odds at 17 1/2. 111 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,640 Yeah, and I ended up getting it at 280 + 288 for for over 17 112 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,120 1/2, which is great odds because I used a boost on DK. 113 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,520 But shout out to a FanDuel by the way on a on a parlay they 114 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320 have a really nice tracker of the bet showing you exactly 115 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,480 where you are on each of the each of the. 116 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,360 I'll show it to you on my phone here like each of the legs that 117 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,600 it actually shows you like a little like tracker and shows 118 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,800 you like, you know you need to get to 10 points, you're at 24, 119 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,040 you need to get to 10 assists. You're at 19, like a little 120 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,440 like, almost like a little like football across the line kind of 121 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,160 thing. The Draft Kings has started 122 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,760 doing that too. Yeah, and Points bet has it. 123 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,080 But you have a refresh and updating yourself on Points Bet, 124 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,160 which is kind of weird. Yeah, no, no dice on that. 125 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,280 I'm also going to ask you some some future NBA props here at 126 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,360 the end. But let's get to what people are 127 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,080 here for, which is our NCAA Football picks and in the Big 128 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,320 10. Let's. 129 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,200 By the way, I I meant to add. I'll start one. 130 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,840 I'm. I'm sorry, horrible podcast. 131 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,960 I'm thinking of something I was about to do. 132 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,920 I forgot to do it ahead of time, so I'll do it while you're 133 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,840 talking, which is also not great behind the behind the curtain 134 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,200 stuff here. I want to shut up and just let 135 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,680 you go to the Maryland at Northwestern game. 136 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,160 Maryland is a 13 1/2 point favorite going into Evanston. 137 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,880 OK, so Maryland has lost two in a row and they're coming in 138 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,520 against a not great but scrappy Northwestern team that just 139 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,000 covered against Nebraska on the road. 140 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,360 But Maryland's had a week off to prepare for this game. 141 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,480 They still need to get the bowl eligibility. 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,800 They need another win to do that. 143 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,040 So I'm going to take Maryland. I'm going to take them 13 1/2. 144 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400 If this thing gets over 14, I'm not as interested. 145 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,920 But as long as it stays under 2 touchdowns, I'm still interested 146 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,640 in Maryland. I think it'll stay there. 147 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,480 I mean it's it's opened at. 13 I think it's stayed at 13 1/2. 148 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960 I don't see that moving much. Probably not. 149 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,480 So what I was sorry, what I was trying to add up in my head, I 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360 meant to do it right beforehand. It's not quite the same, but 151 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,400 this is a another great stat for IU football. 152 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,280 There's some big lines out there, like, you know, 153 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Maryland's 13 1/2. We'll get you another 14-1 154 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,440 that's out there. But almost. 155 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,840 Indiana almost had a higher line than all their Big 10 teams 156 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280 combined this year. They're off it by 4 points. 157 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,080 They are a 32 point underdog going into Penn State. 158 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,520 You Add all the other lines like all the other under underdog 159 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,480 lines. In the Big 10, it's 37 1/2. 160 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680 So one of these days, man, Tom Allen and his boys are going to 161 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,920 get it. They're going to get, we got to 162 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,600 give that a name like the the ultimate underdog, like the 163 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,200 underdog of the conference 32 1/2. 164 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,760 So 37 1/2 is what you said the other number is. 165 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:40,120 So it's all being great pod. We'll add it up 13 1/2 + 7 + 2 166 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,559 1/2 + 14 1/2. So yes, 37 1/2. 167 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,480 I bet that'll be a live line at some point in this IU Penn State 168 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,080 game. Oh yes, I completely agree with 169 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,200 that. It may not be a free kickoff 170 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600 line, but you'll be able to get that sometime during the game. 171 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,600 I got a feeling. And if you did, would you take 172 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,120 it, I think Penn State, I think Penn State can. 173 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Score enough? Oh really? 174 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Well, let's take a look here, Scott. 175 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,800 Penn State as a favorite this year is 6 and O covering the 176 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,360 spread. IU as an underdog is 2 and 177 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,560 three, including O and three in their last three. 178 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,080 Penn State, before playing Ohio State beat UMass 63 to nothing. 179 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,200 How much better is IU than UMass, You might ask yourself. 180 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,200 I would say probably not much, not much. 181 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,520 I got a feeling this is probably got 42 to 7 to kind of get. 182 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,200 I guarantee Penn State's going to put up 42 points. 183 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760 There's no way we're going to hold them to 35 or less. 184 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,560 I I just don't see it. They're running game is too good 185 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,600 and we can't stop anybody from running the football. 186 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:54,720 The question is will they take it easy and and bring in the 187 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,440 second string and and really take it easy on us. 188 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,240 I say no. James Franklin likes to cover. 189 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,040 Penn State covers with ease. I think they win by 5 190 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,000 touchdowns. I also like the over 46 1/2 here 191 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,320 because I I I can see a scenario where Penn State gets that 192 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,520 themselves. So I I am so happy. 193 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,640 So so for all the jokes, I went to Turks and Caicos. 194 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,080 It was awesome. Caribbean got home Friday night 195 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,000 late like midnight was so happy. I was back in Indiana, back 196 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,080 within the geofence confines of my betting establishments. 197 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,880 Or I could put money on Rutgers to cover A5 point line against 198 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,040 Indiana like it was, I know you were harping or you were hitting 199 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,400 it hard before, rightfully so. Man, that that felt good. 200 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,320 I was never really concerned. I didn't do a whole lot of live 201 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,400 betting, 'cause I'm just like, hey, I'm just, I'm going to one 202 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,120 time I was going to enjoy a bet. I'm just going to have a bet. 203 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,760 I know I'm going to win. I'm going to feel really good. 204 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,960 And then by the second-half everything felt good. 205 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,560 That's that that was my take away from the Rutgers game. 206 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:58,360 It's like I feel like that's one of the last few like really nice 207 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,600 lines going to get. The over under on their running 208 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,000 back rush yards was like 64 1/2. So, so really look at some. 209 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,840 And so I took that over. I had like 120 bucks on that 210 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,280 game and three different bets and I won all three of them. 211 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,360 Jalen Lucas over 15 1/2 receiving yards barely squeaked 212 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,840 by because he got 16 on five receptions. 213 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,160 So, so we barely squeaked by on that one. 214 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,560 But look at some of these Penn State props. 215 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,680 I I think he might be able to get some running back props. 216 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,040 They're going to look pretty good. 217 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,080 Their quarterback did not look great against Ohio State, so 218 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,880 they may want to boost his confidence. 219 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,320 And so you may see some of that. Penn State doesn't generally 220 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,840 have a lot of explosive big plays in their offense, but if 221 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,800 you're going to try and get explosive big plays, you're 222 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,320 playing the right team. So they. 223 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,680 They may practice a few things, push the ball deep a little bit 224 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:57,000 more than they normally do. I I don't see any way Indiana 225 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,920 keeps this competitive or close after the first quarter. 226 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,480 Do you have any other final takeaways from the Indiana loss 227 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,240 to the Indiana Homecoming loss to Rutgers where again, not not 228 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,400 enough has really been made of the fact that Rutgers not only 229 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,840 won, they became bull eligible and their coach Schiano got the 230 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,680 Gatorade bath on our field on Homecoming. 231 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,040 No, I don't want to discuss that. 232 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,400 It's too it's too depressing. It's like you and Gambler are 233 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,240 talking about, like at a certain point it just becomes, what else 234 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,960 is there to say, Yeah, there's not much, you know? 235 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,320 We're we're stuck with this. We are absolutely stuck with 236 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,760 this until Tom Allen's gone. So enjoy the ride folks. 237 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,280 Make some money. Yeah. 238 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,000 And of course it's it's tough this week. 239 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480 But yeah, you, you like Penn State to cover. 240 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,840 All right. So Next up, do you do? 241 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,200 You think, do you think, do you like IU to cover? 242 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,880 No. I mean, I know that's it. 243 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,080 I know that's a ton of points. And you know why it's so many 244 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,080 points? Because they want you to take 245 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,200 the points. I know, I know. 246 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,360 I just I don't. I outside of last week I just 247 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360 I'm not really in a good headspace to even bet on this IU 248 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,760 team like it's too many points and like I just, I don't like I 249 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,600 don't think they're going to cover but I I'm conflicted. 250 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,920 I just, I would rather, I would rather wait, save my powder for 251 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,240 a better line against Illinois or Michigan State maybe. 252 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,280 OK, that's how. I'll be there with you too. 253 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,080 Yeah. And and you or you could just do 254 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,800 both. Speaking of Michigan State, 255 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:28,400 Michigan State is at Minnesota. Minnesota is a 7 point favorite 256 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,440 at home. I'm curious, you and Galen 257 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,240 didn't talk about it. Did you have it was it was an 258 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,840 odd line to be out there. I think it was just on the 259 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,120 Action Network and on DraftKings not on points bet but the number 260 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,040 of Hitler images on the scoreboard was at half. 261 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,880 And you know, I don't know if you took the over or not on that 262 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,520 for last week's Michigan State game, but it it's an odd, odd 263 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,160 line. But I, I they don't have that 264 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,280 poster for this week either it. Was under specials. 265 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,080 You had to go under specials, and I never looked under 266 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,280 specials. Specials. 267 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,440 World War Two. World War 2. 268 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,920 Props. Couldn't do a same game parlay 269 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,160 with him. Was really Ed to him on a 270 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480 separate on a separate line. All right. 271 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,800 Michigan State at that's my joke. 272 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,360 Michigan State at Minnesota. Michigan State 7 point underdog. 273 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,400 Over under on this one. Sitting around 4040. 274 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,680 I like the over here. Each of these teams in their 275 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,040 last five games, four of them have gone over 4 over this point 276 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,280 total a piece. So that's eight out of the last 277 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,560 10 combined. I think Minnesota's defense is 278 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,040 worse than they showed last week because they were playing Iowa, 279 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,760 who was probably the second worst offense in the Big 10, so. 280 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,760 I think Michigan State might put up some points. 281 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,920 I think Minnesota will, too, over 40. 282 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,120 That sounds good. I'll take it that last two have 283 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,360 had some line movement. You have Purdue at Nebraska. 284 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,680 I feel like you've gotten everything with Nebraska wrong 285 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,520 this year. Nebraska is a two and a. 286 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,080 Half. We got it right last week that's 287 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,000 I wasn't there doesn't count Nebraska. 288 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,120 You're you're also betting on the aisle over your your head's 289 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,120 in a bad space. Last week without me, Nebraska 290 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,360 is a 2 1/2 point favorite. This line has moved down. 291 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,040 It was Nebraska 4 1/2 to open. They are now 2 1/2 point 292 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,160 favorites over Purdue. Yeah, the over underline on 293 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,320 this, I've actually went online to look at the weather forecast 294 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600 because I was like there's something wrong here. 295 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,160 It keeps going down 39 and a 39, 1/2, yeah, it's going down. 296 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,360 I'm going to take the over here, but I'm going to wait and see if 297 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,320 it keeps going down. So I like the over here. 298 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,960 These two teams last year put up 80 combined points. 299 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,840 That's a great point. Against each other and if you 300 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480 look at their last five meetings together, all of them have gone 301 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,040 over this total their last five games individually. 302 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,800 Each team, much like the previous game, we got a lot of 303 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,720 overs that point total. Purdue gives up lots of points 304 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200 so I think the over here is a good play. 305 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Last one, Ohio State is going to Wisconsin. 306 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,840 Again some weird movement here. Ohio State opened as a nine and 307 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,480 a half point favorite. They are now a 14 1/2 point 308 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,040 favorite. I'm not sure why it opens so 309 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,320 low, but it is what it is. What? 310 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,200 What do you think about that? Ohio State 14 1/2 at Wisconsin. 311 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,520 Well, that opening line would have been, it was a couple weeks 312 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,920 ago. Before the when the game first 313 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,080 came on the before the injury. So this that line's been out for 314 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:23,920 months. OK, OK. 315 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,560 And that would have also presupposed that tear Mordecai 316 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,080 might be playing, which is also probably a big deal now. 317 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,320 Wisconsin scrapped it out last week, so maybe they're not as 318 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,400 bad, you know, with with their backup quarterback. 319 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,520 This line is tricky to me. I don't like the 14 1/2. 320 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,920 I would love a 13 1/2. I'd be all over the Buckeyes. 14 321 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,440 1/2 worries me a little bit, but I think the Buckeyes will end up 322 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,000 covering it. So I don't love it. 323 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,040 If I were to bet it, I'm buying down to 13, 1/2 or 14 on the 324 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,079 Buckeyes. But but I do like the Buckeyes 325 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,720 to cover that Wisconsin is probably going to lose this game 326 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,800 and that's going to put them at 3:00 and 2:00 in the Big 10 W, 327 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,000 which will put them like in a tie with Iowa and Minnesota. 328 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,960 And if Nebraska wins with that, it's like. 329 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,800 There's a chance for. I thought I saw like what? 330 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,359 Like a six way tire or something in the Big 10 was yeah it's just 331 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,280 like I mean I know that the odds are awful but it's like just bet 332 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840 whoever you think is going to win the Michigan Ohio State 333 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,800 game, bet them to win the Big 10 like just. 334 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,720 That's what it boils down too. And at this point, I'd say it's 335 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,240 Michigan because they look really good. 336 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,920 Well, they they know all the plays, right? 337 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,800 They have the they have the spy cameras and. 338 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,040 You know, that doesn't bother me at all. 339 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,760 It really doesn't. The only people I think that 340 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,520 bothers are Ohio State fans. Quite quite honestly, I think 341 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,520 you're the only people upset about it. 342 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,080 And Michigan State fans, yeah. I just, I just assume 343 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:55,280 everybody's taking every opportunity to cheat. 344 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,600 They can't. And if they're not, they should 345 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,200 be. And maybe that's why Indiana 346 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,880 football's not so great. I agree. 347 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,600 I don't think it's that big of a deal. 348 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,680 And I've also the couple people I've talked to about it. 349 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,480 I'm like, nothing's going to happen. 350 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,880 Like, like, I don't know who's going to punish anybody. 351 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,160 Like it doesn't really do the Big 10 any good to punish the 352 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,160 Big 10 shown they don't punish. They're not going to punish 353 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,640 Michigan. Like, there's really, I'm not 354 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,520 sure what really. They totally did wrong. 355 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,040 It's like the NCAA doesn't control football anymore. 356 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Like, I don't know, like, I don't know who's going to punish 357 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,640 anybody. So it's like this is all kind of 358 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,560 a big nothing. Burger. 359 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,520 Yeah, yeah, it doesn't bother. I mean, it's not like they were 360 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,640 going stealing playbooks or, you know, like had cameras in locker 361 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,880 rooms or something. I mean the guy bought tickets to 362 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,280 a game watched the game. This could also be hardball just 363 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,400 being like I don't want to coach like pre season games and maybe 364 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,860 he like contractually they're like he has to coach the pre 365 00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:49,080 season games. Like, all right, well then what 366 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,640 I'll do is I'll have a scandal every year. 367 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,880 I'll make, I'll have some kind of scandal where then I can just 368 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,720 like, all right, I'm, I'll be suspended for three games and 369 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,920 then I'll have to Dick around with games that aren't big 10 370 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,440 games. Then I don't have to deal with 371 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,800 UNLV Hawaii, right? Just like I'm just going to 372 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,960 coach the. Big 10 kick off against UNLV. 373 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,800 Not worth my time. Yeah, but I I still want the the 374 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,240 full paycheck. I just. 375 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,360 I don't want. Yeah. 376 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,680 All right. Let's go to our our our second 377 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,960 home, the PAC 12. I feel like half the teams in 378 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,400 here are like our teams USC at Cal. 379 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,560 A just a When I think of this all I think about is a typical 380 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,200 ACC Big 10 battle. USC is a 10 1/2 point favorite 381 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:34,160 going into Cal. Yeah, I don't like having 382 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,520 adopted Southern Cal. They're not as fun to watch as I 383 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,160 thought they were going to be. We can get rid of them. 384 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,480 We can kick them off their defense. 385 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,240 Is bad. Now, I know you like Cal, so I'd 386 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,400 love to take Cal in. The point here, my dad is what I 387 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,560 like Cal's logo. I don't like Cal football team. 388 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,040 Well, I know you mentioned Cal once about home field, so I'm 389 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,320 going to take the Trojans to cover. 390 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,480 I don't love it. I don't plan on betting it, but 391 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,840 I think that's probably what happens. 392 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,520 I don't know if we officially added Washington, but I'm just 393 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,120 adding them right now. Like Washington. 394 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,640 Pennex. Yeah, let's add them. 395 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,720 Are you ready for that? I'm just going to add 396 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,200 Washington's in the docket. Washington is going to Stanford. 397 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,640 They are. Washington's a 26 1/2 point 398 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,520 favorite. I also heard you and Galen talk 399 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,160 a little bit about the Pennex props. 400 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,720 I I do feel like as somebody who in 2021 bet Pennex for Heisman, 401 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,960 I think plus 5000, like, I I feel like there used to be a 402 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,960 universe where I can just pull that back out and be like, look, 403 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840 I'm not saying I need the full, like I need to go to Fanduel's 404 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240 headquarters, be like, look, I don't need the full 5000. 405 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,400 But it's like, look, I was on this 2 1/2 years ago, like I 406 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,080 should be getting like plus 500 odds. 407 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,400 Like let's just offer me something. 408 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840 I'm kind of I'm kind of pissed that I'm not going to win on 409 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,920 that even though I'm two years late. 410 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,600 But all that said, Washington at Stanford 26 1/2 point. 411 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,200 Favorites. I'll take the cardinal to cover. 412 00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:57,360 Oh, all right. They seem to be scrappier than 413 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,120 they let on. Maybe Washington doesn't take 414 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,600 them. This is the easiest game left on 415 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,040 Washington's schedule by far, so they probably don't need to take 416 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,360 them as seriously now after last week, you know, not burying 417 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,840 Arizona State. I think that that's where I want 418 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,040 to go. Do you, as you look at the rest 419 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,120 of Washington's schedule, they're probably not going to go 420 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,280 undefeated. So they're at Stanford, at USC, 421 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,200 home to Utah, at Oregon State, and then home to Washington 422 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:26,680 State. Where? 423 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,440 Where do you think they lose? Oregon or no, no Utah. 424 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,480 I mean Utah at home. So you think they win the road 425 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,000 at USC makes sense of the defense they win at. 426 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,520 They lose the Utah and then win at Oregon State. 427 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,120 Yes, I think Utah's the bucket boom. 428 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,240 They the Utah is the death team for the PAC 12 because they just 429 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,840 go around beating every other undefeated team in the PAC 12. 430 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,440 That's what they do. They're going to ugly the game 431 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,680 up. They're not going to go out 432 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,880 there and try and put up 49 points and throw 5 touchdowns. 433 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,480 Nope. They're going to run all over 434 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,720 you. They're going to control the 435 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,440 ball. They're going to play good solid 436 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,920 defense and they're going to beat you. 437 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,560 I think that's what will end up happening. 438 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,680 If they get past that Utah game lookout, I think they're headed. 439 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,520 For the college football playoffs, undefeated, I was 440 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,200 going to say. I think even with losing that 441 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,280 Utah game they still could probably make the. 442 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,280 I think it would have to look, they'd have to make the PAC 12 443 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,040 championship. But I think they could. 444 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,040 I think that loss is still in a spot where they could still make 445 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,960 the the, the, the Football Playoff, yes. 446 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,840 I do, Because Utah's a good team, too. 447 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,720 Let's not. Let's not forget that, all 448 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,760 right? We have Colorado going to UCLA. 449 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,800 Colorado is a 17 point underdog. My how how things have changed 450 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,920 for Neon Dion and his his buffaloes. 17 point underdogs. 451 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,480 They started the year as 21 1/2 point dogs, so do you think 452 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,920 there's is there value again now because has it has it flown too 453 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,120 far? I think the value's on the over 454 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:56,680 here, OK? UCLA likes to play fast. 455 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,920 Colorado likes to not stop anybody. 456 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,480 But Colorado also is able to put up some points. 457 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,040 So I think over 62 1/2 is probably the play here. 458 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,480 OK, All right. Give us your your, your big 10 459 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,800 parlays. Give us your parlays that are 460 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,520 that are sure to make money. OK, so my 3 legger of the week 461 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:19,840 that I've my teaser, I've taken Penn State -26, Penn State 462 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,840 Indiana over 40 1/2, and Southern Cal -4 1/2. 463 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,320 That's the three leg teaser of the week right there. 464 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,480 OK. You got anything else? 465 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,960 Not at the time, not at this time, but I will be posting them 466 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,480 to X. Last week we had a lot of bets 467 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,120 posted. A lot of IU Rutgers centric 468 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:46,440 bets, some prop bets, some parlays, some hit, some didn't. 469 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840 But overall we were up pretty big on the day thanks to Rutgers 470 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,760 doing what they did against IU. So keep tuned to AT Crimson Cast 471 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,680 26-O. All right. 472 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,960 I'm going to hit you with like two NBA thoughts if you want. 473 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,480 All right, let's do it. My my bet of the year has been 474 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,640 this, and I I I'm going to stand by this one. 475 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,960 It's purely an odds bet but NBA Rookie of the Year I love Chet 476 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,640 Holmgren at plus 380 because the the idea here is you're getting 477 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,720 last year's number one pick. He's a year older and if you're 478 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,440 just like well man he he can't stay healthy. 479 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,600 It's like all right well neither convict like the same thing you 480 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,960 could say for Victor Wimbiama like Victor Wimbiama is negative 481 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,720 is -150. It's like that's a wild odd for 482 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,200 a pre season award. You're getting the number one 483 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,840 pick last year plus odds plus 380 and it's like if he can stay 484 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,560 healthy there's I I don't know I just I think that's a value play 485 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,760 there. I agree with you from a 486 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,240 basketball and on the court standpoint, but I think people, 487 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,920 a lot of people have a lot invested in making sure Victor 488 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,880 Wimben Yana is like the greatest thing ever. 489 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,800 So I I I think it's probably unless he blows something out 490 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,800 like or loses an appendage of some sort in the next few weeks, 491 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,120 he will probably end up rookie of the year. 492 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,960 I hear you on Victor Wimben Yama. 493 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,520 I will say I don't know if I trust the Spurs to play him 494 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,800 enough to to win that award either. 495 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,920 I would also say if you look, if you look at like Defensive 496 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,360 Player of the Year, he's plus 1200. 497 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,640 I think that's the better bet. If you think when Ben Yama's 498 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,280 going to play 70 games and be really good, I think you bet him 499 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,880 as Defensive Player of the Year versus the the -150 go for the 500 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,840 plus 1200 for Defensive Player of the Year. 501 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:38,280 My other I'll run these through you for MVP for NBAI had to pick 502 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,960 a little bit ago, but I'm. I'm now very concerned 503 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240 considering he scored no points in the second-half. 504 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,080 But I I I was betting on Anthony Davis. 505 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,120 I got him I think at like plus 3500. 506 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,960 He's now plus 2900. My thought is this as you go 507 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:57,360 through the top guys in the MVP voting, Yokich is #1. 508 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,520 I'm like, I just don't see him winning three out of four. 509 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,640 There's the history of how many he's already won, which just 510 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,080 puts him into rarefied air, which is tough. 511 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,640 Luka Doncic is plus 550. It's like, I don't know, Giannis 512 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,840 is there plus 650. Tatum, Embiid, Booker, Curry, 513 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,840 SGA, Durant, Davis, Jonathan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards. 514 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,400 I just, I look at a lot of those guys in that list and I just 515 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,680 don't know if there's the narrative for them to win, 516 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,840 whether they're good or not. Like Embiid is up there, like 517 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,360 Embiid's not winning back-to-back. 518 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,720 MVP, just. That's that's for somebody very 519 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,640 special and I just don't think people are going to give him 520 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,960 that. Like again, Giannis would be, 521 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,720 that'd be like his third MVP for Yokich would be his third and 522 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,240 4th year. I just, I think a lot of guys 523 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,640 are going to get left out just because it's like oh man, here 524 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,160 Yokich is going to win more MVP's than like you know Magic 525 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,600 Johnson did in the 80s. It's just I think there's some 526 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,040 narratives that hurt a lot of those guys. 527 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,280 I'm just not sure who it's going to because it can't be Anthony 528 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,520 Davis. He's not going to score in the 529 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,040 second. Half. 530 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,880 And he just explained why I hate making those bets. 531 00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,360 Because you are not betting on encore performance. 532 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,600 You're not betting on anything other than the whims and 533 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,080 thoughts and narratives of sports columnists and and voters 534 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,800 for these awards. So that's why I do not like 535 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,320 betting on who's going to be the MVP or who's going to be the 536 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,360 Rookie of the Year now if it's who's going to lead the league 537 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,160 in points. That's a different story. 538 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,640 You know, I I have no problem making those kinds of bets, but 539 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,440 I really don't like trying to figure out what the hell 540 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,640 somebody else thinks about Victor. 541 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,960 Women. Yana, you know? 542 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,000 But yet we love gambling on stupid stuff. 543 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,880 So, I mean, you should enjoy it. I. 544 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,320 Do love gambling on stupid stuff. 545 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,160 I'm not going to lie about that. Do you have any? 546 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,560 It's my son just running in and out slamming doors. 547 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,200 It's awesome. Just every time, tell him don't 548 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,680 slam the door. And then I just watched him run 549 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,680 through our yard and step on one of our Halloween decorations. 550 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,400 Break in half and pay zero attention. 551 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,600 Oh, kids are the best. Do you have any other NBI kind 552 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,720 of hit you the NBA? Off the cuff, do you have any 553 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,680 other NBA that's you like or just thoughts on the NBA? 554 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,800 No, I'm not. I'm a Pacers fan and I think 555 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,360 they're going to be fun to watch this year. 556 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,240 Look at look at their early season over under, because if 557 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,000 they're going to play at that pace they played at last night, 558 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,440 they're going to put up a lot of points and the defense still 559 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,800 isn't great, so they're going to give up a lot of points. 560 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,960 So I would look at some Pacers over under on the early season. 561 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,920 If I come across something I like I'll be posting it to X, 562 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,600 but really I on the NBAI like more like doing player props on 563 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,480 a game rather than going looking at the game. 564 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,600 Because those games there's you can do a lot of in game betting 565 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,880 and have a lot of success just by taking teams that get down by 566 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,200 a lot. But you know, last year I 567 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,680 started to notice a trend. We used to be a team got down by 568 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,760 30 in the, you know, second quarter or something like that 569 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,520 or the third quarter, it'd be a 16 point game, 10 point game by 570 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,600 the time the thing ended. Last year I started to notice a 571 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,440 trend where teams just kind of gave up and then those 30 point 572 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,280 leads stayed 30 point leads. So you know, keep an eye out for 573 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,200 that, but sometimes you can make some hay there. 574 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,400 That's about all I have on the NBA. 575 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,960 I don't have you know oh go get so and so for you know most 576 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,160 threes this year or something like that. 577 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,880 Yeah I mean at the game yesterday I will say I think I 578 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,000 can see Halliburton going over on assists a lot this year. 579 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,800 There's also there was also a point it wasn't I would say I 580 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,000 was going to say exact same thing and points to like a point 581 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,400 in that third quarter where it's like you could tell he's like 582 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,080 I'm just I got to get over 10 points. 583 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,200 He just he was had a couple drives where it's like he was 584 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,880 like I'm going to score every time I have the ball. 585 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,880 So I I think there's going to be a lot of like I he's shown that 586 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,880 he can like I can get 10 points I need to so. 587 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,840 Usually combo like a points assist bet, points assist total. 588 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,440 So yeah, look at those. Yeah, I think he's, yeah, I 589 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,040 think you're right. He's going to have a big year. 590 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,840 If they were going to be good, I'd say him as an MVP, as a dark 591 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280 horse might be something, but they're not going to be that 592 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,120 good. So he just isn't. 593 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,800 He, he's not doesn't have the narrative to win the at your 594 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,760 point. He doesn't have the narrative. 595 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,880 I just don't know who like. ESPN doesn't love him like, 596 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,360 yeah, but they don't like, they don't like Indiana yet. 597 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,120 So I listen to like the the the Simmons you know over under POD 598 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,520 and it's like I it's so frustrating as an Indiana fan 599 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,040 because nobody ever talks about Indiana but they're talking 600 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600 about the Kings like you know they got Duarte. 601 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,440 I kind of like Duarte. I'm like no you don't. 602 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,560 Like I listened to all your covers last year, He was in the 603 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520 Pacers. You never effing mentioned him. 604 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,800 Once. Like, nobody likes Duarte. 605 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,160 Yeah, I'm not. No knock on Duarte, but it's 606 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,840 like you don't talk about him then all of a sudden he's off 607 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,560 the pace. He's like Duarte's nice little 608 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,520 piece. Like he wasn't a good piece last 609 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,520 year. He never talked about him 610 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,040 anyway. James It's good to be back my 611 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,240 friend as we hit the home stretch here and we we get 612 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,760 through to the end here with a with a big 10 football win some 613 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,520 money. Yeah, I hope we I hope we do. 614 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,040 It's it's sad to see how you losing Bigley as they have been, 615 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,480 but it's nice to make some money on it at least. 616 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,560 Yeah. Well James, it's been a pleasure 617 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,640 and I will end on this. I I have season tickets with the 618 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,480 Pacers.

I was having trouble doing it on 621 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,640 the website.
