How you doing? 29 00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:35,470 I'm doing great, Scott. I wish I'd get one of those 30 00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:39,430 pirate T-shirts, but I'm abnormally shaped and they don't 31 00:01:39,430 --> 00:01:42,070 sell my size so but that would be great. 32 00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:44,110 They sound awesome. I wonder if like. 33 00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:47,310 Abnormally shaped. Are you like Grimace or what we 34 00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:49,710 got going on? Well, I have to wear tall sizes, 35 00:01:50,150 --> 00:01:53,510 so, so I'm kind of out of the loop there. 36 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:57,070 Otherwise my the bottom of my belly would show and and nobody 37 00:01:57,070 --> 00:02:01,420 wants that, so you know. But I you wear that with the you 38 00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:03,340 wear the new quarter. The new quarter showing belly 39 00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:06,140 like a belly no quarter shirt. Yeah, exactly. 40 00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:08,699 And then I'll have the pirate logo and I'll offend real 41 00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:11,660 pirates like the Somali pirates probably get very upset seeing 42 00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:15,300 the East Carolina team take the field with that offensive pirate 43 00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:17,940 iconography on there. I I've yes. 44 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,920 Yeah, sure. I'm sure. 45 00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,960 Well, we will. We'll wait to hear back from our 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,040 our Somali fans on. I mean, I think those might have 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,680 been the people who took over our website in like 2010, I 48 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,720 don't know. So maybe, maybe they were mad at 49 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,560 what we were talking about. I mean, honestly, you could take 50 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,880 the no quarter tshirt, you could cut it off at the midriff and go 51 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,400 like straight 80s, you know, villain from like Revenge of the 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,480 Nerds just wearing the, you know, quarter shirt. 53 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:44,660 Yeah, but it has to be that like mesh material with the little 54 00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:46,740 holes in it, like of the jersey material. 55 00:02:46,780 --> 00:02:49,740 Otherwise it doesn't quite work. But that would be peak 80s. 56 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,180 They've never brought what they do like retro Jersey Night, 57 00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:56,340 which I love by the way. Very rarely they bring back that 58 00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:01,260 that mesh version of Jersey which was like so top notch 80s. 59 00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:03,660 You just don't see that big hold mesh anymore. 60 00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:06,900 Oh yeah. The I, U ones were especially 61 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,820 nice. When they bring back the 62 00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:10,340 throwbacks for those, they got to do it. 63 00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:13,830 I would agree. All right, we have week one. 64 00:03:13,950 --> 00:03:17,070 Let's get to it. First game starts tonight, 65 00:03:17,070 --> 00:03:18,750 right? This is Thursday night. 66 00:03:19,510 --> 00:03:22,870 Thursday night, Nebraska at Minnesota. 67 00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:26,870 Nebraska off the high as a College of having, what, 92,000 68 00:03:26,870 --> 00:03:29,750 people show up for a women's volleyball game in Memorial 69 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:31,390 Stadium. That was that was very cool, 70 00:03:31,390 --> 00:03:34,390 seeing that. Yeah, good for them. 71 00:03:34,670 --> 00:03:37,550 I mean, there's nothing else to do there, right? 72 00:03:38,170 --> 00:03:38,770 Right. Not much else. 73 00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:40,890 Yeah, I mean it's it's a it's a thumbs up all around. 74 00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:46,010 All right, Nebraska football at Minnesota football tonight on on 75 00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:49,490 FOX. Nebraska comes in as a 7 point 76 00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:52,890 underdog. Well if you were lucky and you 77 00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:56,130 took this earlier than today, you would have gotten 7 1/2 on 78 00:03:56,130 --> 00:03:59,530 Nebraska. I actually have this in a 79 00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:04,810 three-way parlay teaser, so I'm getting 13 on Nebraska and that 80 00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:08,810 because it's a six point teaser, I like Nebraska plus a touchdown 81 00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:11,330 here. I think that that is the play. 82 00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:13,050 I don't know how good Minnesota's going to be. 83 00:04:13,090 --> 00:04:17,170 Nebraska's got a new coach, they played Minnesota tough last 84 00:04:17,170 --> 00:04:18,810 year. I also think the under might be 85 00:04:18,810 --> 00:04:21,450 in play here at 43 1/2. So I think it's going to be a 86 00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:24,010 low scoring game. So give me the Huskers plus a 87 00:04:24,010 --> 00:04:26,250 touchdown. On the Action Network I see the 88 00:04:26,250 --> 00:04:29,410 under 46, so you might want to figure out. 89 00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,700 Or well, it's maybe maybe that's what it opened at. 90 00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:33,180 Sorry. Maybe. 91 00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:36,540 Because now it's showing forty 4343 1/2 on points. 92 00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:37,260 Bet. Sorry, sorry. 93 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,500 Yeah, so that's so it started at 46, so this 43 and a half's 94 00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:44,180 already been bet down, so you might want to stay away from it. 95 00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:46,180 But 46? That would have been a great 96 00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,220 number. I mean, what a way to start off 97 00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:50,100 the year. You're already betting on 98 00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,980 Nebraska. This is great. 99 00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:53,380 I love it. I'm excited. 100 00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:57,910 How unhappy you're going to be in like 3 weeks with Nebraska, I 101 00:04:57,910 --> 00:05:00,270 don't know. I mean this is this is Also, we 102 00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,110 got to remember Minnesota doesn't exactly have Vince 103 00:05:02,110 --> 00:05:04,030 Lombardi strolling the sidelines over there. 104 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:08,870 They have elfin Sprite PJ flex hopping around and I I I don't 105 00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:09,830 know. Give me Matt Rule. 106 00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:12,670 Isn't he Wasn't he dirty? Doesn't Matt rule like a dirty 107 00:05:12,670 --> 00:05:15,030 coach and that's why he left college? 108 00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:16,430 I don't know. I can't keep up. 109 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:19,350 I'm assuming what they all are, but I like those coaches. 110 00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:22,710 I expect them to win so. Friday night. 111 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,320 Another another coach heavy team. 112 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,080 You have a Mel Tucker's $100 million contract going up 113 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,640 against Central Michigan. 7:00 Fox Sports 1 you have Michigan 114 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,200 State at home as a 14 point favorite. 115 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,920 All right, you can get them at 14.5 on some books. 116 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,720 So if you want the chips, that's your play. 117 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,120 Me, I like the chips plus 2 1/2, two touchdowns and a half a 118 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,720 point. So if you get that hook, I say 119 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,300 take Central Michigan. The over under is at 45 1/2 so 120 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:56,340 not expecting a huge high scoring game. 121 00:05:56,620 --> 00:05:58,580 And these Mac teams always kind of play tough. 122 00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:00,620 I mean every one of these Central Michigan guys probably 123 00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:03,180 got passed out by Michigan State and they went nothing more than 124 00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:07,500 a stick it in their craw. So yeah, give me, give me the 125 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,540 dog, plus the points. That's I like that logic. 126 00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:14,180 Is there any any thought to go and just straight money line 127 00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:17,940 Central Michigan or is that nuts That seems that might be a bit 128 00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:22,380 much but keep in mind for these week 1 bets the we're all just 129 00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:24,420 guessing. Nobody has any idea. 130 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:27,580 So you know we're all just kind of guessing here. 131 00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:30,940 These could these could all go off the rails but why not. 132 00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:35,820 I do have a outright winter upset alert for you later on 133 00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:38,700 though, so. That's after the break, all 134 00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:40,740 right? If we had commercials, that 135 00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:42,180 would definitely be a commercial break. 136 00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:44,220 That's fantastic. All right. 137 00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:47,290 All right. And we're back from commercial 138 00:06:47,290 --> 00:06:50,130 break. We have Eastern Carolina at 139 00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:52,370 Michigan. James, you told us you had an 140 00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:56,090 upset pick brewing. Talk to us about this game. 141 00:06:56,090 --> 00:06:58,290 Are the Pirates going to get it done in Ann Arbor? 142 00:06:58,970 --> 00:07:04,210 Are Maybe they will not. That would have been such a good 143 00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:06,050 transition. That wouldn't have been great, 144 00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:12,970 but I do think 36 1/2 points is a really, really, really big 145 00:07:12,970 --> 00:07:16,720 line. Yeah, and and Harbaugh's not 146 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,920 going to be there. I don't know how much they're 147 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,280 going to want to run up the score. 148 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,800 So give me that stupid huge line of 36 1/2 points, and the only 149 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,240 reason I'm taking it is because that line is over 7 or over 5 150 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,400 touchdowns. So, like, why not? 151 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,240 You're taking a lot of points this week, man. 152 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,120 I'm taking a lot of points this week all. 153 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,800 Right Next up, they're listed on Action Network as USU. 154 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,200 It wasn't for the logo. I was going to be like, I don't 155 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,970 this is a Utah State. Utah State at Iowa. 156 00:07:44,170 --> 00:07:49,210 Iowa is A at the rank 25th. They are also a 25 point 157 00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:52,770 favorite, Okay. So the Aggies are going to steal 158 00:07:52,770 --> 00:07:56,730 all the corn secrets from Iowa and they're getting 25 points. 159 00:07:56,970 --> 00:08:00,690 Ridiculous. Give me 25 points against Iowa. 160 00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:03,810 I mean, when was the last time Iowa won a game by over 25 161 00:08:03,810 --> 00:08:06,850 points? I'm asking because I don't know, 162 00:08:06,970 --> 00:08:10,660 but I'm guessing it's probably been a while and if they did, 163 00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:11,900 probably 20. Pressure of the game. 164 00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:13,900 I was there when I you played them two years ago. 165 00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:16,820 They they won by 25 points. Yeah that one. 166 00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:23,540 Well they're obviously playing a better team now so no I will 167 00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:28,220 take I will take those points the over unders at 43 I will 168 00:08:28,220 --> 00:08:30,860 take the under. Kirk Ferran said this week that 169 00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:34,700 his favorite win ever was their 64 victory over Penn State. 170 00:08:34,980 --> 00:08:38,620 So get I also like the under there we're we're we always roll 171 00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:40,929 the Iowa Unders. Yeah, Iowa under. 172 00:08:40,929 --> 00:08:43,090 It's at 4045 right now. So yeah. 173 00:08:44,890 --> 00:08:48,050 All right. Speaking of teams, we don't know 174 00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:50,850 much about Purdue. The Boilermakers, they are 175 00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:54,610 hosting Fresno State. They are a four point favorite 176 00:08:55,770 --> 00:08:57,810 over the Bulldogs in West Lafayette. 177 00:08:59,730 --> 00:09:02,250 Yeah, kind of tough to know what to do here. 178 00:09:04,250 --> 00:09:08,330 I like Fresno State plus 4 1/2 which is the line you can get 179 00:09:08,330 --> 00:09:10,850 them at. I think we probably see 180 00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:12,410 ourselves like a field goal game here. 181 00:09:12,770 --> 00:09:14,770 Not sure what Purdue's going to do on offense. 182 00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:18,250 I I don't see either team pulling away. 183 00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:26,610 Friend of mine Purdue fan likes the over here at 47 1/2 so he 184 00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:29,370 said he he he said his best bet on the game would be to take the 185 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:32,330 over so that may be the play here. 186 00:09:32,610 --> 00:09:36,930 But I like to bet against Purdue by taking some points, so if you 187 00:09:36,930 --> 00:09:39,010 force me in a corner on the points, I'm going to take Fresno 188 00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:41,500 State. You know you're allowed to bet 189 00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:44,140 other teams besides just the underdogs of the points. 190 00:09:44,140 --> 00:09:45,540 Just making sure we're aware of that. 191 00:09:45,740 --> 00:09:49,340 Is it the new James in 2023? You're just you're straight 192 00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:51,380 points all the time. I'll be giving. 193 00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:53,300 I'll be giving up some points. Don't worry. 194 00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,660 I've got my, I've got my little thing here. 195 00:09:55,660 --> 00:09:59,620 Don't worry. OK, so the marquee game 3:30 on 196 00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:02,740 CBS features the Ohio State Buckeyes. 197 00:10:03,130 --> 00:10:06,930 Traveling to the House of Horrors Memorial Stadium. 198 00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:13,850 I U is a 30 point underdog at home over under at 59 1/2. 199 00:10:14,930 --> 00:10:19,570 OK, so here we go. You're Ryan Day, you've got to 200 00:10:19,570 --> 00:10:23,210 match up in Bloomington against that master strategist, Tom 201 00:10:23,210 --> 00:10:25,490 Allen, and you don't even know who their kickers going to be. 202 00:10:25,490 --> 00:10:26,810 What do you even do? Like? 203 00:10:26,810 --> 00:10:28,330 How? How do you even take the field 204 00:10:28,330 --> 00:10:30,450 at that point? You know, you've already been 205 00:10:30,450 --> 00:10:34,580 gamed and so I think that the Hoosiers might pull the straight 206 00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:38,060 upset here. No, I don't. 207 00:10:38,380 --> 00:10:40,580 I but I do. I do like them to cover. 208 00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:47,420 So I took them at 30.5 and for the full game, but their first 209 00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:50,580 half number at plus 17 1/2 is what I really like. 210 00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:56,420 They do generally stick around a bit before fading, and so for 211 00:10:56,420 --> 00:11:01,370 the first half, that 17 1/2 number seems awfully high to me, 212 00:11:01,650 --> 00:11:04,930 and so I did take that as well. Come game day, they're not out 213 00:11:04,930 --> 00:11:05,890 yet. I'm going to be looking at the 214 00:11:05,890 --> 00:11:08,730 player props and I plan on looking at some Marvin Harrison 215 00:11:08,730 --> 00:11:11,770 junior props because I think he's going to torch the I U 216 00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:14,210 secondary. Yeah, I like that. 217 00:11:14,210 --> 00:11:18,210 That 17, 1/2, it's not a bad bet. 218 00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:20,610 It's almost, you know, it's in a weird way. 219 00:11:20,610 --> 00:11:22,650 It's almost like a bet of this is crazy. 220 00:11:22,650 --> 00:11:24,050 It's almost like a bet of the season. 221 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:26,930 Because if you know if I use able to kind of keep it 222 00:11:26,930 --> 00:11:29,250 competitive with Ohio State that's kind of you know what we 223 00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:33,410 what what we've done most years if we come out referencing again 224 00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:36,610 that 2021 game against Iowa and just we're down you know 21 225 00:11:36,610 --> 00:11:39,650 nothing in the first quarter it might be a harbinger of like ooh 226 00:11:39,730 --> 00:11:43,090 ooh this could be a bad game and a bad season. 227 00:11:44,490 --> 00:11:48,850 I I honestly I'm this is such a stay away for me I I understand 228 00:11:48,850 --> 00:11:50,330 everything you're saying. I get it all. 229 00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:55,970 I just, I'm so nervous. About I, U Football and A little 230 00:11:55,970 --> 00:11:57,850 bit pessimistic. It's even tough for me to start 231 00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:01,410 gambling on them too. Well, I mean, it doesn't take 232 00:12:01,410 --> 00:12:03,450 much space to say we're going to lose by 30. 233 00:12:04,690 --> 00:12:07,730 That's fair. I mean is a is a wild number. 234 00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:11,810 Like I remember, you know, a couple years ago, we were 235 00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:15,610 playing them and it was like Ohio State was up by like 7 or 236 00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:18,770 10 at the time and we had the ball and I was still able to 237 00:12:18,770 --> 00:12:23,010 get, you know, Ohio State plus like 28. 238 00:12:23,630 --> 00:12:26,750 Or you know Ohio State with 28 points during the game. 239 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:29,750 Like so for a 30 point spread during a regular season game is 240 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:32,790 just is nuts. But it is what it is. 241 00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:35,150 And there you go. All right, next game, it's 242 00:12:35,230 --> 00:12:36,190 Allenson. Go ahead. 243 00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:38,990 Go ahead. Just last year, Ohio State was a 244 00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:40,990 40 1/2 point favorite and they covered. 245 00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:43,200 Yeah. Yes, that was. 246 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,760 I remember that game I was thinking about that we played 247 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,400 that game of like what what's Ohio State, what's that line 248 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,760 going to be all all year We were playing that game of where we 249 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,280 thought it's going to go. We're not going to play that 250 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,200 this year. I mean maybe the Indian, 251 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,680 Michigan game, but I just don't think we're going to have and 252 00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,480 that's that's also Bloomington. I don't think we're going to 253 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,600 have the same. We're never probably going to. 254 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,240 This will be the highest line. I think we have all year 255 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,360 probably towns in Maryland. I I don't see a line for it, I 256 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,520 could not get a line for it either. 257 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,760 Generally, those lines don't come out till the day of. 258 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,000 What? Let's play this game. 259 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,640 What? What would you make that line? 260 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,080 That'll probably be a 35 1/2 point line. 261 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160 OK. Yeah, the over under is probably 262 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:31,920 going to be like 69 1/2. Yeah, 6162, something like that. 263 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:34,360 Yeah. All right. 264 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,840 Well, we're not going to play that game. 265 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,880 Buffalo is. We just did. 266 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:49,340 Bear Buffalo at Wisconsin One of us on this podcast has picked a 267 00:13:49,340 --> 00:13:52,140 straight up money line upset winner. 268 00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:55,140 See who it's going to be after the break. 269 00:13:55,140 --> 00:13:57,620 All right James, we're back from break. 270 00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:01,460 We have Wisconsin, a 27 point favorite. 271 00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:05,260 You have been a fan of the underdogs. 272 00:14:05,260 --> 00:14:07,540 You have one outright underdog winner this week. 273 00:14:07,940 --> 00:14:09,620 Tell us what you think of Buffalo. 274 00:14:10,830 --> 00:14:15,150 I like Buffalo. I like Buffalo at 28, which you 275 00:14:15,150 --> 00:14:19,670 can get them at still. So if you can get them at 28, I 276 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:21,270 like 4 touchdowns. I'm sorry. 277 00:14:21,390 --> 00:14:23,230 I like 4 touchdowns. I don't know what's what 278 00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:26,190 Wisconsin's going to do. I mean, Fickle's there right 279 00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:30,950 now, so I imagine they're going to be improved, but I don't know 280 00:14:30,950 --> 00:14:33,990 yet. I imagine Wisconsin will 281 00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:36,350 probably just run away with this, but Buffalo's not 282 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:39,910 dreadful, so I think 4 touchdowns is too much to be 283 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:43,390 against a Mac team, and then they're not a bad Mac team 284 00:14:43,470 --> 00:14:44,910 either. I just think that line's way too 285 00:14:44,910 --> 00:14:47,710 high. All right, another another 286 00:14:47,710 --> 00:14:49,430 points. God, you're just racking up 287 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:51,350 points. All right, we got three left. 288 00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:52,110 Got him. I'm. 289 00:14:53,950 --> 00:14:58,230 I think I'm trying to guess who your outright winner is going to 290 00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:02,270 be. Next up we have Toledo at 291 00:15:02,270 --> 00:15:05,270 Illinois. Illinois is a nine point 292 00:15:05,270 --> 00:15:09,110 favorite, although I also see Toledo at laying 9 1/2 on some 293 00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:10,070 books. But we'll call it. 294 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:14,830 We'll call it 9 1/2. This is my underdog. 295 00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:18,750 That's what I thought. Yeah, I think Toledo has a real 296 00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:21,790 chance of an upset here. I I like them at 9 1/2. 297 00:15:22,430 --> 00:15:24,870 In fact, I have them in a parlay at 9 1/2. 298 00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:27,230 But I think they got a real chance to pull the upset here. 299 00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:32,470 They're probably the best team in the Mac, and Illinois is not 300 00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:35,470 the best team in the Big 10, so you know. 301 00:15:36,270 --> 00:15:40,750 Breaking news, I know you heard it here first folks, so if there 302 00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:44,550 is a chance for a an upset, I think this is probably our best 303 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:47,590 chance. I like, I I I like where your 304 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:52,950 heads out on that and I agree. Western Virginia going to Penn 305 00:15:52,950 --> 00:15:55,230 State. Penn State is a 20 point 306 00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:59,380 favorite and Happy Valley. Now this may shock you, but I'm 307 00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:03,620 going to lay those points. Yeah, I think Penn State, Happy 308 00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:05,620 Valley. I think they're primed for a big 309 00:16:05,620 --> 00:16:07,940 year and I think they're going to put a ton of points up. 310 00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:12,020 I don't see how West Virginia, who's not known for having a 311 00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:14,420 good defense, is going to be able to stop them. 312 00:16:14,420 --> 00:16:17,260 Now, West Virginia may put up some points, but this isn't a 313 00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:18,860 Big 12 defense they're playing either. 314 00:16:18,860 --> 00:16:22,420 So and that crowd, that crowd is nuts. 315 00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:24,700 So yeah, I will lay the points here. 316 00:16:25,410 --> 00:16:29,250 I I completely agree. I would also look at doing, I 317 00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:32,810 might even do a little parlay of like Penn State plus Penn State 318 00:16:32,810 --> 00:16:37,650 laying the 20 with the over at I see it at 4949 or 50. 319 00:16:37,650 --> 00:16:39,130 But either one of those, like I think if you're going to, if 320 00:16:39,370 --> 00:16:41,890 you're going to lay 20 points, you might as well also take the 321 00:16:41,890 --> 00:16:44,490 over. Yeah. 322 00:16:44,650 --> 00:16:47,250 I mean, unless it, you know, ends up being, you know, 20 to 323 00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:50,290 three or something like that or 35 to three, you know, and then 324 00:16:50,290 --> 00:16:53,370 you get, you know, I mean, that number has been bent down 325 00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:56,710 already because it was up in the 50s. 326 00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:02,190 So it's been bent down already. Yeah. 327 00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:05,990 So, you know, then maybe okay. Well, maybe that's your idea 328 00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:08,470 then. Well, was it bent down too much 329 00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:10,550 and should I go back on the over? 330 00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:12,510 Yeah. All right, last one. 331 00:17:12,589 --> 00:17:16,589 Last Big 10 game of the week, we have Northwestern at Rutgers. 332 00:17:16,589 --> 00:17:19,150 Northwestern is a 6 1/2 point underdog. 333 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,880 I am laying points here. I like Rutgers by over a 334 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,119 touchdown. I think. 335 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,079 I mean, I don't know what Northwestern is going to do. 336 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,120 I mean it could be one of those situations where it's us against 337 00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:34,480 the world type mentality or whatever, but I just don't think 338 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,400 they're going to have the talent to pull it off and and and 339 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,840 Shanno's a good coach and I think Rutgers is going to be 340 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,920 improved. Can they move the ball? 341 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,720 Can can they score 7 points? Probably so. 342 00:17:48,670 --> 00:17:53,870 The over under that is 39 1/2 which is a very low number. 343 00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:56,590 It is. It's funny. 344 00:17:56,590 --> 00:17:59,350 I'm in the exact same boat you are with like the Shianna's good 345 00:17:59,350 --> 00:18:02,070 coach. Like I always say, I wonder if 346 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:05,350 that's just like, whatever, the opposite of recency biases, you 347 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:09,510 know, like pass passancy bias because like they won one Big 10 348 00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:12,470 game last year like any other program. 349 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:15,550 Or like, man, that that coach, that team is falling apart like. 350 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,760 And I know he's building back up, but it's not like Rutgers 351 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,000 was just awful for years. They weren't great, but it 352 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,440 there's a world where maybe Shianu was a good coach is what 353 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,640 we should be saying. That's fair. 354 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,280 That's fair. It's a it's a results oriented 355 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,520 business and he hasn't had him recently. 356 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,320 But I I can see the direction they're going. 357 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:42,000 They just never seem to have any real skilled talent on offense, 358 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080 you know? It just seems like they just 359 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,600 can't get the right guys in there. 360 00:18:47,010 --> 00:18:49,210 So we're going to try something new this year. 361 00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:51,130 I'm going to put together some money line parlay. 362 00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,970 It's just for fun. At least the first couple weeks 363 00:18:52,970 --> 00:18:57,850 I will. I mean, you know, I would I I 364 00:18:57,850 --> 00:18:59,410 got to see what the odds are. But what if you did like 365 00:18:59,410 --> 00:19:06,170 Michigan State, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, Maryland, Wisconsin, 366 00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:11,170 Penn State, money line? I mean, just complete like heavy 367 00:19:11,170 --> 00:19:13,530 favorites on all them and just throw like 10 bucks on that. 368 00:19:15,910 --> 00:19:17,590 I wouldn't see a problem with that. 369 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:21,270 I don't know what kind of payout you'll get, but you could 370 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:23,590 certainly do that. Yeah, probably not much of A 371 00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:27,590 payout. I do have some some parlays that 372 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:32,990 I've done this for this week. One is a four way parlay. 373 00:19:32,990 --> 00:19:34,590 These are all money line winners. 374 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:41,150 Michigan State, Miami, FL. Western Kentucky. 375 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,880 In Washington, you parlay all four of those together. 376 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,880 It's -120. Okay, so I like that. 377 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,920 I would this is one of those weeks I just throw Ohio State 378 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,880 and everything. Like even though it only boosts 379 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,920 you probably like half a half a penny on whatever your bed is 380 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,960 like just you might as well. They're not going to lose, 381 00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,560 that's for sure. Especially if you're doing one 382 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,800 of those ones where if you step up so many legs in your parlay 383 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,600 it increases whatever. I have a three-way teaser and so 384 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,080 this is a six point teaser. Which is the under 50 1/2 in 385 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,520 Utah State, Iowa, Fresno State plus 9 1/2 against Purdue and 386 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,040 Northern Illinois plus 14 1/2 against Boston College. 387 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,960 OK, notice I'm on the Max schools getting points, so we'll 388 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,440 see what kind of you know. And then I've got another and 389 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,080 this is a a pretty good one here. 390 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:36,440 This is plus 1228 odds. OK, so here we go. 391 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:44,120 We have over 59 1/2 Ohio State, Indiana, Rutgers, -6 1/2 / 66, 392 00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:47,120 1/2 University of Southern California, Nevada versus 393 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:51,840 Nevada, and over 49 1/2 Ball State, Kentucky. 394 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080 So that is one I've kind of put together and I'll post these to 395 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:02,680 X and everybody can see kind of what's we got going on there. 396 00:21:05,530 --> 00:21:10,490 And I have I have one more 3 way teaser that's another 6.1 that 397 00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:16,090 has Nebraska plus 13 under 50 1/2 in the 40 Utah game tonight 398 00:21:16,530 --> 00:21:19,890 and then over 43 1/2 in the Ball State Kentucky game. 399 00:21:21,090 --> 00:21:22,970 Kentucky has a new offensive coordinator that they're 400 00:21:22,970 --> 00:21:24,890 supposed to be really like pushing the tempo. 401 00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:28,650 And so I think that there's going to be some points put up 402 00:21:28,650 --> 00:21:33,570 in that in that game. Okay, I like this. 403 00:21:33,650 --> 00:21:37,870 I like this all. What is your, what is your team? 404 00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:41,470 Have we figured out what are non Big 10 team? 405 00:21:41,470 --> 00:21:45,070 Is this season to follow? Yes, and I just mentioned them 406 00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:48,270 in one of the parlays there. It is the University of Southern 407 00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:51,390 California Trojans, because we're going to make a lot of 408 00:21:51,390 --> 00:21:52,990 money betting their overs this year. 409 00:21:53,670 --> 00:21:56,390 They don't play a lick of defense and they can score on 410 00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:59,470 anybody. So take the over 66 1/2. 411 00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:01,670 Okay, yeah, that would have been. 412 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:08,060 I was just spacing. I didn't bet on their first week 413 00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:08,900 game. I should have. 414 00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:11,460 They just they they torched whoever, they're whoever they're 415 00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:14,700 playing. Yeah, I want big on the Notre 416 00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:19,260 Dame game in in the Week 0, but you know, you got to be watch 417 00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:21,780 yourself on these because we don't know what these teams are 418 00:22:21,780 --> 00:22:24,780 going to look like, what they're going to do, you know who's 419 00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:26,060 going to play well and who's not. 420 00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:29,420 So just be wary. Don't put too much money out 421 00:22:29,420 --> 00:22:32,300 there this weekend, folks. Be safe out there. 422 00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:33,700 I mean, be like or be like James. 423 00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:38,140 Just take all the points, OK? I'd rather lose and take the 424 00:22:38,140 --> 00:22:40,980 points on some of these. That's that's fair. 425 00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:42,420 That's fair. Well, you picked an underdog. 426 00:22:42,420 --> 00:22:45,940 I I do respect that. I don't want Purdue winning by, 427 00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:48,140 you know, I don't want to be rooting for Purdue to win by a 428 00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:49,740 touchdown. You know, that's like the last 429 00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:54,620 thing on Earth I want. All right. 430 00:22:54,620 --> 00:22:57,140 Well, James, it has been fun. I look forward to a full season 431 00:22:57,140 --> 00:22:59,940 of doing this with you. And yes, you will post it on X, 432 00:23:00,020 --> 00:23:02,180 but we thank you as always for listening. 433 00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:06,580 And for James, this is Scott for Crimson cash signing off. 434 00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:14,980 It's like the Somali pirates probably get very upset seeing 435 00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:17,180 the East Carolina team take the field.
