you doing my friend, doing? All right, doing all right, we
did not win our harmonica bet last week, but I know.
First one first one we lost all. All year.
Yeah. And the Hoosiers didn't cover,
but we were able to scrounge up still be on the positive side on
Saturday. Now, the colds Chiefs game that
was a whole nother story, so not a great weekend for Crimson,
cash overall. But on the college football
said, we're still doing pretty well by the way.
Shout out there to Kathy Amos on Twitter at Kathy underscore Amos
who was like, tweeted out with what's the harmonica bet I Is
now called the harmonica bet. I love it.
She did. Listen to forgot to throw it out
there. So it's a good thing.
That's the one that she forgot, so she still might be 3 and 0.
Well, you know, Crimson cash was also given to us by the
listeners. So we're just not very creative,
I guess I know what you mean. Oh no, we have fantastic
listeners. I will sail ago.
Yeah, I will say this. We're going to add a new wrinkle
to the the Pod this week. I'm going to try and guess what
the harmonica bet is. Going to be whoo.
All right, I love it. I was looking a bit.
Look at the lines today, trying to guess what it is.
I anyway, I won't I won't bore people with my story of why
we're doing this in our later, not that anybody else cares.
But man, what a, it's been a wild day for me up here, but I
won't get into it. But just know that it's been a
wild day. And he's not in Florida folks so
he's not like like death's doorstep or you know about to
drown us. I'm totally fine.
It's a yes, I feel for people who are an actual pero.
I just now everything I say is going to make it sound so so
lame but there's like 11 o'clock.
I had to go to the eye doctor and then it's like two minutes
from my house and like 11:15 the power goes out and I'm like, wow
it only take a couple minutes and I realize the power is out
of my house. So it's like I'll just hang out
until like you know the power turns.
Kind of like three and a half hours just sitting there
waiting. It's like, do I leave?
I got was given ten more minutes the whole time.
I'm just like waiting and waiting and waiting.
And the power family comes back on, get everything wrapped up.
Get home just in time for the bus, stop.
And then it's like I hadn't eaten lunch and again, not these
are not real problems, but yeah, that's that's what I've been
doing dealing with today, good time.
And then like getting my router to restart, it was a whole
thing. So yeah, nobody cares about any
of this. I should probably cut all of
this, but I in true Crimson cast fashion.
I will not when the lights went out of the house, Am, did you
go? I'm blind.
That would have been great. No, I didn't.
I just kind of sat there and I'm like, I knew what was going on
and it was funny like couple days later.
The doctor came in with like a flashlight and he's like, are
you like, you're okay and what? Yeah, I get it and like the
whole time, like, you can go home like yeah.
Like there's no, there's no power at home, either.
Like, the minute. I go home and Powers going to
turn on to reschedule. If you guys will hang out and
they're they're being nice, like, you can leave Mike.
I understand not being held hostage, like I get it like, I'm
just, I got nothing else to do so.
Yeah. That idiot pointed again, are
they're going to close down if you weren't there?
I know, I know they could have had like a party or maybe they
cut the power. They wanted me to leave but
jokes on them because I didn't. And anyway, let's do some
currency cash, we're going to save the IU game for last and
here's a here's the game will play.
I'm going to start with what I think the harmonica bet is.
Okay, I'm looking at it. It's tough but here's what I
think it is. We have Illinois at Wisconsin.
Wisconsin is a seven-point favorite.
I'm not sure Wisconsin's awesome, but it's at Wisconsin,
I'm not sure, Illinois is good. I think the harmonica bet is
taking Wisconsin to cover seven points.
Well, we are taking Wisconsin to cover seven points so you have
guessed that correctly and it was my number two choice.
But I do. I do love that that line has
gone down that line started around nine and it's going down.
I think Wisconsin's got to be able to cover this at home.
They specially coming off of their feet down.
Yeah, yeah. Now they need to, if they want
to be like the class of anything of what we consider, the Big Ten
West, they have to do that, man. I was one away.
Oh, I like this addition to the edge of the pot.
This is fun. I'm going to say the Indiana
game for last so I don't know. The harmonica bet is we have
Michigan at Iowa? Michigan, you know what I as
always I got to give James credit.
I love now looking the week ahead, although it is it's tough
to go and find those bets and like You can place them and
navigating them on the, on the different bet sides.
But at one point, you could get Michigan as only a four point
favorite in this game, but it's now 10 and a half at Iowa II.
Should have bet it at four and a half.
I really wish I would have, but yeah.
Michigan at 10 and a half at Iowa.
Yeah, I would have liked for that.
Have been great and this was 11. So it's going down a little bit.
It, if that Trend continues, you might want to hold off.
If you can get to that number like 9 and a half, maybe I'd out
against that low, but it may get down to 10 that be, you're going
to take Michigan. I think.
I think they're going to be able to cover that.
I think it'll probably be closed for a little while, but Michigan
will pull away and I would does not have the horses to hang with
them. So yeah, I'll take Michigan and
lay the points there. Just just randomly, do you think
last week's verse Result against Maryland, is that a heel?
A little concerned about Michigan, not being that good.
You think Maryland's better or you just kind of fluff that off
I think Maryland's, okay, I mean, they're not a bad football
team. So, you know, and Michigan and
played nobody. So I think I think I talked it
up to those two things. It was the first time Michigan
had been tested. Maryland, had already been
tested, I mean, that game against SMU they were in a real
fight you know? And and you know, they were up
for playing at the big house you Until their players were up for
it. So I think it was just a
combination of factors but I think Michigan's it certainly
get right against Iowa. It's funny that.
And by the way this Union, I mean still, I mean you know they
ended up winning the game. I mean, you know, it wasn't
particularly that close, you know, by the end of it, but
Maryland played himself for quite a while.
Yeah, I would say that. It's I agree with you.
I think it's also funny that like that what you just said is
the Result for Indiana, like if Michigan is not as good as we
thought, but Maryland is better. That's not good, because for us
to beat Michigan, Michigan has to be really bad and that wasn't
the case. And for us to be Marilyn like
we're kind of some people think that's a, you know, a game we
could win. It's like they can't be good
like what we needed that to be as like a game or it's like,
that's a total fluke or Michigan's complete garbage.
But like, the Michigan's, maybe not as good and Marilyn might be
a lot better. Like that's the worst case
scenario for IU. Yeah.
I mean I already had the Maryland IU game as a loss for
IU. So I mean, I thought they were
better than I you going into the year and it still looks like
that. So You have Purdue going to
Minnesota. Minnesota is Row in the boat,
Man. 4 and 0 class of the Big Ten.
West Minnesota is favored by 12 and a half points.
This is a perfect letdown spot, right?
Yeah. But if they were play anybody,
but Purdue there by anybody. But Purdue so, give me the go
first and I'm going to lay the points.
I do. You can get that at 12 at some
books. So, shop, your shop, your
spreads, folks. But yeah, give me the Gophers in
that one. You can't, ya DraftKings.
You can get it at 12. There you go.
Yeah, I'm going off of Action Network and mostly about MGM.
So you're right. Always look at the different
books, something else. James taught me, are we did it
on our Wisconsin, Michigan, State at Maryland again this
line to opened with my gosh. This line opened with Michigan
State, being a four and a half Point favorite, they are now an
eight and a half Point Underdog, that line must have been posted
before that. Michigan the beat down by
Minnesota, again, future lines. There's a lot of fun there, we
have one more. We're going to talk about.
We're done with this week. But anyway.
Michigan State going to Marilyn, will you guess we'll find out if
Michigan state is bad? And if Maryland is good, but
man, eight and a half for Maryland to cover.
What do you think? Okay, so this is a, this game is
a perfect. A have something I want to talk
about. Yeah where you can kind of
predict. What Vegas thinks the final
score is going to be, all right? And so here's what you do, you
take the total on this game, which is 60 points, right?
Cut that in half and then you take half of the spread and add
and subtract to that number. All right, so if you look at
this, 34 to 26 is the expected final score.
Because that would be a total of 60 points with an 8 point
spread, right? Right.
So when I was first learning to gamble, one of the things that
was tough for me was, you know, I'd always watch games as win or
lose you know. It did you know an over under 60
like what does that mean? What do they think this game is
going to be? Why is this eight points matter?
You know, as opposed to three? Well, you know the higher that
total the lower the total it can affect that kind of little
formula there and they kind of gives you an idea of what kind
of game you're looking at or what kind of gave Vegas thinks
it's going to be. And that's where you can say.
Well I don't think it's going to be like that at all.
Maybe you think Michigan state has scored 26 points?
Not right now? No, no, you no you no, you
think. Marilyn can score 34?
Absolutely, you know. So that's one of those.
You know, when you look at that, you go, wow, I can see Marilyn
doing that. But I don't see Michigan State
pulling that off. That's when you can say give me
Maryland - eight and a half points.
Okay, so so you're saying if you see that lay that out again live
that out again. Sure so.
So you know, I will So you take, you know, have your total and
you go half the spread on either side of that.
So we have 3426. I see Maryland.
Yeah, they could score 34 points.
I can see that happening. I don't see Michigan skate,
state, courts, corn 26. So that tells you two things,
one, you think just you're, you know, in your mind if you're
looking at it that way you may then you're like oh well that
means the Maryland will cover and I think I'll probably go
under you know so good. I don't think that many points
are scored, you know or something.
Does it kind of help? It kind of helped me when I was
first learning how to do it conceptualize how the game was
going to go and kind of place my bets based upon that it's great
called what we'll come back to that.
Let's look at that with the Nebraska game so I think the
next two lines. The next two lines are pretty
wild like they're both 2030 Point lines of probably doesn't
make a lot of sense like the Penn State Northwestern the next
game we're in a look at Penn State is favored by 25 and a
half. I mean using your logic so that
the or using your Plan, which I like 51 and a half, is the
over-under. So you take half of that, which
is 25, but it's like half of the 25 of the oh it's it becomes
really like is it doesn't work on say yeah it doesn't work.
Yeah, the large lines, you know? Yeah, so yeah.
So anyway, let's come back to it for the Indiana game.
I love this. I love this a lot anyway.
So yeah, Penn State is favored by 25 and a half over
Northwestern. Yeah.
And on this one, you know, when I look at this northwestern's
horrible and I don't know how much Penn State is going to want
to run up the score, but I don't think they're going to have to
try and want to. So yeah, give me Penn State to
cover. Another big lot.
So again, well something we've been we've been following here
as reported first on Crimson, cash, Ohio, State's, good, their
lines are Bonkers. I've been saying for a while,
they're not going to have a single digit line all season and
they definitely don't against Rutgers I texted.
This is you beginning of the Tuesday, sort of looking at
lines. I had to text you.
If you got to see this fuckers Ohio State Line, it opened at 41
and a half, lots of money on Rutgers, because the line is
just dress, Quickly moved its now, 39 and a half.
That's, that's a huge. I mean, just take a breath or
two things to take from this line and then I want your
thoughts one, that's a massive line for an in conference game
against a team that's three and one I mean, I'm not sounding
Rutgers is a world beater, but it's also like Rutgers is not
complete garbage and secondly this does not bode well for what
Indiana's future line. Could be when they go to the
Horseshoe. I think are rallying cry.
Beginning of the year as a key, Vote or 28.
I think, now, it's like beat the Rutgers line, like keep under 39
Indiana's line could be 47 by the time we get there.
Anyway, my to thoughts on that. But what are your thoughts on
Ohio state with a thirty nine? And a half point line versus
Rutgers? They're going to cover it.
I would have taken it at 41 because I had that's what I had.
It written down at when I was planning for the podcast.
It was at 41 and I would have taken that.
So yeah, big lines though is like ice.
Yes, Ohio state is drastically better or how state will win by
28 30, you know, 34. So, but once you get to that,
like 30 plus points are as a better.
I've always nervous because it's like you're, you're putting into
the hands like teams doing unconventional things, like is
how the state going to run up the score.
They just going to put in their third team and try not get hurt
like this, Rutgers just going to run the ball.
Like you keep start playing very differently when there's 30
point, Thirty Point Gap, there's a chance Ohio State may have
that covered by the end of the first half.
They, I mean they they will be able to score at will on Rutgers
Iowa, move the ball on Rutgers for god sakes.
I mean, you know, Ohio, State come out with seven players on
offense. I'm probably still put up 35
points against Rutgers so. Yes, normally these huge
conference lines, worry me, but Ohio State's a little different
animals, would you? I'm looking at some of the other
alternate lines, which you can get on dry days, kind of a dick
hole and he's the kind of guy who will run up a score and and
he will do so unapologetically. And so I mean you kind of got to
look at their lines, a little differently.
Yeah. People can't see me, but I'm
kind of doing the yeah. I agree.
You not alternate lines available on DraftKings, just
curious. You take any of these instead.
You'd rather have you can do the first half, Ohio State to cover
25, or first quarter, a high 0 state to cover 10.
I kind of like that first quarter bet.
Yeah, I do too. Although first quarter bets are
tricky because weird things can happen in a first quarter, you
know, I mean team can, you know, have a, you know, eight-minute
Drive the results had no points or you know somebody you know
muffs Hunter something weird, those first quarter vets are
tough. Unless you really know that hey
my team sucks in the first quarter.
So I would rather take the full game with you know going back to
that predicted score. This will be forty.
Nine to ten you know. So you know, I think, oh, wow.
It's going to score way more than 49 points.
So, you know, I like the total over 59 points, I think Ohio
State might get that by themselves, a bet you might look
at is what are the team totals. So, You can bet just how many
points over under Ohio state will score and so that's one
that would be available to you as well.
Alright, our last game, this is going to be the harmonica game
because we haven't had it yet. I'm annoyed because this was my
second harmonica game picked. You have the over under of
Indiana, Nebraska at 60 and a half around.
Let me walk. Let me like check my work on
this math problem. Nebraska is a five and a half.
Oh, hold on. Hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Other harmonica we because I
don't know which side were picking on.
I'm gonna guess what side it is but I want to do.
I want to do your math. I want to do your math real
quick. Come on man, come on easy on the
harmonica yet. So Nebraska is a five and a half
Point favorite to 60 and a half point over under.
So using the James system that cut it in half, that's 30
basically cut the line in half, that's two and a half.
So it's basically saying that Nebraska is going to score 32.
Correct. So to be 32 228, it's kind of
what you say would be somewhere. Yeah.
And do you think like, so basically, then do you think
Nebraska 13 career 27? So you know you'll what are you
looking at that range? You know, you feel comfortable
with that and like I think Nebraska throws deep as we know
in the last we had Taylor on in the last podcast with Gail and
their talk a little about it. You know, Nebraska does is like
the score they are able to throw deep.
I so the second pick for harmonica was To be Nebraska to
cover the five and a half. That is incorrect.
Oh okay, give me that now, there we go.
I need to learn. Indiana, are Indiana on this.
Oh yes. That'd be great or back home
again. Yeah, yes, something like that.
We will, I'll work on that. Okay.
If anybody, anybody knows the harmonica notes, let me see me a
Twitter or something. No, I like the Hoosiers to cover
here. In fact, I actually like the
Hoosiers. I'm going to sprinkle it on them
to win outright. This is a winery.
Why? Okay.
So Nebraska's had Weeks to prepare.
Right? Do you think that they've
prepared for Indiana for two weeks who they play next week?
Well I don't know but I'm sure I'm sure as hell telling you,
they don't record next week so they might they might take, it
does not think they have to worry about Indiana University
fair. I can tell you that they are
overlooking IU and and I think it's going to bite him in.
The ask is who the hell are they?
Nebraska loss to Northwestern for god sakes.
All right, sure. I you just got blasted by
Cincinnati but that's a good football.
Team Northwestern is absolute trash.
They cost money at me of Ohio, which by the way we call on the
podcast last week, you know, so give me the Hoosiers.
Give me the points. That's great.
I love getting those points, but I think they might win this game
outright Okay, I think it's gonna be nice for.
I definitely think that 60 is going to be over.
We'll see. I'm I would I would take
Nebraska to cover the five and a half.
I just our defense has been so suspect this year.
Our offense cannot run the ball and that's not something that
normally changes much throughout the year.
Bay's lack has had to throw a ton, he's going to have to throw
a ton and even though Nebraska has been a bit of a mess it's
still This is something we kind of don't get it on both sides.
Like even Indiana. Basketball is not great.
We're always like, I will simply Halls good for a couple wins a
year. You know, Memorial Stadium in
Lincoln. That's that's a tough place to
play. This is me kind of Nebraska beat
you at Assembly Hall. They've done act.
How many times does Penn State beat my unit assembly?
All they've done anything. Yeah, exactly.
And so, it's every bit as logical I you could win again in
Lincoln. Yeah, it's possible.
It's just, I would say it's that's a tough place to play.
I'd love to be proven wrong. I just and all of the metrics
when you look at any of the metrics, Indiana is one of the
worst teams, the big tent. So yes, Nebraska is not good
either, but They are similar that they're just they're more
of a better team. I don't know.
So I hope you're right and I'm going to put my money.
So what's my bed? And I bet Indiana to cover or
Indiana moneyline in the end of the cover.
Okay. All right.
That's the bet folks because you're too rude, kill me for the
for the first. Yes, I'm going to do it for the
first time this year. Like when I was looking at my
vet's, I was, I was gonna bet Nebraska to cover that line and
so I can't bet and Lily I can't bet both sides but so you're
ruining your making me not be able to do one of my bets but I
will bet Indiana plus five and a half and I will that's the way
I'm going to be rooting. But anybody who's listening to
this podcast? No, I am not going to be putting
money on Nebraska, the against Indiana.
It's just not going to happen. All right.
Let's go to our friends out. West.
Oh, Hawaii is not the race week. Are they?
The Rainbows are off this week but I have, yeah, bonus games
for you here. That's good.
I like, I like UTSA. That's the University of Texas
at San Antonio versus Middle Tennessee, State University, 62
and a half over, take the over folks, as we had a lot of points
scored in that game. I think between those two teams
last week they put up like almost 90 points.
So Should be a shootout. And then I also like the Duke
Blue Devils cover create a half at home against Virginia.
This is why you're a pro man. You come in, you know, that the
Rainbow Warriors are off. You come with other teams and
other people to bet. I love it.
Here we go. We gotta have some other action
out there. Yeah, this is Duke when I
particularly like they played, kids is Pretty Tough last week
and then I don't know. Virginia is very good and Dukes
at home, giving up less than a field goal.
I really like that. So in the listen to James
category, which are going to start calling this now, future
betting, the only line that seems to be available on future,
bedding out there is on DraftKings for next week.
I'm just going to look at the Big Ten.
I think this is one. You want to jump on folks, Ohio
State at Michigan State. Ohio State is only thirteen and
a half Point favorite? Yeah, folks, you might want to
jump on that. I mean, I don't see any.
I don't, I don't see Michigan State, be able to cover 13 and a
half points, even at home against Ohio State, I'm not sure
anybody can cover against the eye.
I'm going to guess by kick that will be close to the first
quarter line. Yeah.
Or at least the first half line. Yeah, so get in on that again.
Listen, James got me into too early week bedding.
I love it. So DraftKings seems to be the
ones to offer right now. Now, sometimes though you can
think you're really smart shit with your early week, betting
and then get bit in the ass. So that's happened to me before.
Isn't that just better? It doesn't really need to be
like early week betting. That's just betting in general,
right? True true.
True. I had a great line on the Chiefs
that I jumped at it and It was that was a tough one for me
because I'm a huge, huge Colts fan and and they won.
I was just like, in shock. Like, oh my God, I can't believe
they want to like, yeah, shit. I just thought it's a hundred
fucking down. By the way, last thing I will
say, I think, what? A here we go.
Ghost of a ghost, long friend of the pod.
We're back and had a couple to couple tweets out to me that,
you know, I had said early on that.
A five dollar bet on penix, would be fun for Heisman.
I think he was like 10,000 to one or something.
And I agree with myself that I was really smart at that time.
I bet it last year, beginning of the year, I stand by it.
It would have. It would have been the way to
bet the Hoosiers. This year.
I should have jumped on it when I said it but I did buy it right
after I saw that tweet from. Ghost of a ghost.
So at goes to the G on Twitter. Thank you for reminding me.
So, let me look at my upcoming Beth's.
I've gotta remember what I got it.
I think I got it at Thousand to one, so I put $5 down, panics
wins, get 500 back, not a bad little bit, I would say if you,
anybody else wants to get it you know right now would probably be
the time to get. If he has one or two more, good
games. He's probably not going to win
the Heisman but it's a fun way to play around with it.
Yeah have fun with it. That's what I say.
Yeah, we also James. What are you doing it for?
Right? Exactly.
When it stops being fun folks maybe it's time to take a break
for a few days. Yeah yeah it's fair to say it's
a good point. As we talk about it here on
Crimson cash, we're here to have fun, never bet more than you.
You can afford to lose and just have a good time with it.
And if you're getting too into it, it's time to take a break,
but, yeah, just if you're cool that just throw five bucks on
panics, to win the Heisman and what will keep it up with it
throughout the year. All right, James.
Thanks again for joining us on Crimson cash again.
You can follow James on Twitter at Crimson cast. 260 follow me,
Crimson cast, 317, and thank you guys all for listening to you
back this weekend with gaalan to talk about the Nebraska game.
Actually, don't know where it's going to go.
I like I said I was gonna bet Nebraska to cover that five and
a half but my money's on the Hoosiers.
Now and we shall see it's going to be it's going to be
interesting but I feel like we say that every week.
Anyway we'll catch up with you after the game until next time.
This is Scott for Crimson cast signing off post times God I
can't believe they want to like yeah shit.
I just thought it's a hundred fucking doll.
