You know what sound that means. 3 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,440 It is time for Crimson Cash. We are back, James. 4 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,880 It's good to talk to you, man. It has been a long eight months. 5 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,360 I think we're back for like season three or four. 6 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,160 It wouldn't be Crimson Cash if we didn't know how long we've 7 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,000 been doing it, but it's at least three or four years. 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,920 At least three whatever betting was legal. 9 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,040 Somebody can Google that? 3-3 or four, we can bet on the 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,760 the the 3 1/2 is the line for how long we've been doing this 11 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,480 podcast together. I love it. 12 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,960 We've been doing it back in the Big 10 was 14 teams. 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,960 It's it's been a while and man, let me tell you, I'm so happy to 14 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,080 have college football back. I lost my ass on Olympic break 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,960 dancing. Did you bet on that? 16 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:11,040 Yeah, I had that chick from Australia who did the kangaroo 17 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600 hop and totally lost my ass, so yeah. 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,360 I, I got to say that I was doing pretty rough in the NBA 19 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,760 playoffs. I kind of, I kind of take a 20 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,760 break after the NBA playoffs. That is, there's not a lot of 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,160 sports. I'm just I, I enjoy. 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,440 I, I did some Wimbledon betting and Pelini, I believe little 23 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,840 Italian girl went to the finals. I, I did well on her, but I had 24 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,120 a like 8, like an eight leg parlay or yeah, parlay on an, 25 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,560 the last Pacers Celtics game. It was great. 26 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,280 Like I went into the fourth quarter, I think I needed like 27 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,760 one more point from TJ McConnell, like a point from OB 28 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,840 Toppen and like one assist from Tatum and it was like, I bet 15 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,440 bucks and I won like $1200. Like it was just like the last 30 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,880 game. I'm like, I'm just doing like 12 31 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,440 things that I think will happen. Never worked. 32 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,400 I done like ten of those bets throughout the playoffs, hadn't 33 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120 won and then just won a 15. Like a $1200 payout at the end 34 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,440 of the year was great. I got the Kentucky Derby winner 35 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,320 at 18 to one. I also had. 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,240 I also had the Preakness winner as well, so I got 2/3 of a 37 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,160 Triple Crown during the offseason. 38 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,840 I did not actually bet on break dancing on the Olympics. 39 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000 I did bet on like fencing and table tennis and all sorts of 40 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,520 weird shit, but how'd you do? I I I did OK in the Olympics. 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280 I about broke even. OK, I I did tennis. 42 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,760 I should probably get back into it. 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,280 I mean, US Open's going on right now. 44 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,000 Yeah, you can usually steal some value there all. 45 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,320 Right, I'm going to try and pull up talk for a second about 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,480 anything else you bet on. I want to pull up this parlay on 47 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,880 FanDuel because I was really proud of it. 48 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,960 Yes. So as far as betting goes, MOB 49 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,920 has been kind of, you know, down in the dumps. 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,080 I'm that it's tough, you know, when you're betting daily on 51 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,600 Major League Baseball, so you kind of got to look at your 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,880 teams. The White Sox have been 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,200 profitable because they lose all the time. 54 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,560 I can't believe you got something that. 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,600 Baseball's just nuts. Yeah, but if you're looking for 56 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,120 a parlay, just add the White Sox to lose on it and you're going 57 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000 to be right most of the time. So that's unusual. 58 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,400 They are historically bad. So that's been profitable. 59 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,520 So, you know, that's kind of what I've been up to recently, 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,800 but really looking forward to this football season. 61 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,120 One of the things I did, and I posted this on X in May was I 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,400 took the Hoosiers over 5 1/2 wins on the season. 63 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,280 Oh, I like that. And in May, that was at plus 123 64 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960 odds. So they are currently sitting at 65 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:53,160 over under six at -160 So the odds have definitely gone up on 66 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960 the Hoosiers to win multiple games this year. 67 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,880 Good on you. And what's that? 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,720 I said good on you. Yeah so and I did post that so 69 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,320 it only got 2 likes so hopefully those two people also bet it. 70 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,040 It could have been Signetti and Rourke for all you know. 71 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,360 All right, so FanDuel, you can't go back in time that far and 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,200 look at that. So anyway, I had a nice, I had a 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,640 really nice parlay. Nobody cares about other 74 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,839 people's winning stories. So anyway, before we get moving 75 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,640 on, just want to give a quick shout out to home field apparel. 76 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,760 Use the promo code home 23 for 15% off your first purchase. 77 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,160 Check them out.

All right, James, we were 86 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,800 talking about what we're going to do this year. 87 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,120 We're thinking of just doing straight Big 10 teams like no 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,640 other extra teams because there's more than enough Big 10 89 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,320 teams. So we'll just start going down 90 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,360 the list. And then I would like to talk a 91 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880 little futures with you as well. And I think we're going to try 92 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,360 and do like a parlay we all put together at the end of each week 93 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,880 of nothing but Big 10 teams. There's there's more than enough 94 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,920 gambling within the Big 10 if you just want to keep it there. 95 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,240 Yes, and but, you know, we may find a tasty little treat 96 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,080 outside the conference every now and then. 97 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,040 There is a team that I've got my eye on that I want to bet 98 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,160 against, so we'll get to them when we get to their game for 99 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,720 this week that is out of the Big 10 Conference. 100 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,040 But they're playing a Big 10 opponent, so there's a little 101 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,720 peas for everybody. OK, we are going to save the IU 102 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,640 game for last. So and by the way, be careful 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,880 folks. A lot of big lines out there 104 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,680 just let you know a lot of big lines. 105 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,520 So we start with Howard at Rutgers. 106 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,720 Rutgers, the first time in history, Rutgers is a 38 1/2 107 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,520 point favorite. I don't remember ever saying 108 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,280 those words and Rutgers together, but they are a 38 1/2 109 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,280 point favorite. The over under is 51. 110 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:00,400 So we're assuming Howard just not going to score. 111 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,360 What? What do you like here, James? 112 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 I like the under and I like Howard with the points. 113 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,400 But to your point here, don't go crazy. 114 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,160 This is the first week of the season, folks. 115 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,240 You don't know anything. Vegas doesn't know anything. 116 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,920 And so don't go crazy this week. But yeah, that's a huge line for 117 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,400 Rutgers. Like even when they're, when 118 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,120 were they really good? Even when they were really good, 119 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,640 I don't remember them ever putting up those kind of points. 120 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,680 So yeah, give me, I would take the under or 38 1/2. 121 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040 That line has actually gone up because it was 36 1/2 this 122 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,560 morning. So that line has gone up by two 123 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,600 points. So maybe Vegas knows something 124 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,960 and the total has gone up by a point and a half. 125 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,920 So if you're on the, either take the points or go the underside. 126 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,240 It might be good to get it before it goes back down again. 127 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Good call. All right, you have Speaking of 128 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,160 like, don't go crazy first week. Just a quick fantasy football 129 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,360 story. My, my friend Robert in our 130 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880 fantasy Football League has already traded a third round 131 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,440 pick for a for Marvin Harrison junior season even started yet. 132 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,880 So it's like guys are already tanking and and trading first 133 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,480 round picks. It's it's wild. 134 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600 So everyone, everyone's fired up for football. 135 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,800 Like everyone's just really fired up. 136 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800 If you're taking, if you're throwing a ton of money on a 38 137 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,960 point line with Rutgers, you're you're really excited for 138 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,400 football and you probably need to. 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,880 It's a marathon folks. It's not a Sprint. 140 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,360 All right, Next up you have North Carolina at Minnesota. 141 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Minnesota is a 1 1/2 point underdog at home. 142 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440 I'm going to take the dogs to win out right here. 143 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,480 The underdog about Minnesota. Row the boat. 144 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480 Yeah, row that boat. They're at home. 145 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,160 PJ Fleck. I mean, he's OK. 146 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,160 They've had some good teams. I don't know exactly what 147 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,960 they've got, but I know North Carolina lost their best player. 148 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,840 And so, yeah, give me, give me the Big 10 team at home here. 149 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560 All right. Next up, we have Elon. 150 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,000 I'm assuming EIL that's Elon Eastern Illinois. 151 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,440 All right, Well, either way, it's it's a division two or 152 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,200 whatever they're calling it now team against Illinois. 153 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,560 Illinois is a 28 1/2 point favorite at home. 154 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Yeah, I'm going to like the under here. 155 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,920 Oh, the under 49 1/2 is what I see. 156 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,560 Yes, so 'cause I mean, 49 1/2 seems like a lot of points, 157 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,480 although if this thing goes under 28, give me Bill, I'm 158 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,400 going to cover that spread. He's still the coach there, 159 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,440 right? He has. 160 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360 Lost that checked. And there's nothing he loves 161 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400 more than running up the score on people. 162 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:47,080 So 28 1/2 minus is tempting. But if you want to tease that, I 163 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,720 wouldn't. I wouldn't hate you there. 164 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880 You don't hate anybody. You shouldn't hate anybody 165 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,280 moving on. So Next up we have Florida 166 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,680 Atlantic playing one of the many Big 10 teams that we're playing 167 00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,200 this year that has a question mark around what we're going to 168 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,840 see out of them. The Michigan State Spartans 169 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,600 Sparty at home is a only a 14 point favorite. 170 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,800 Yeah, give me, give me 14 points there. 171 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,840 I don't know what to make of Michigan State. 172 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,960 They should be able to win by more than 14, but you never 173 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760 know. So you like you like Florida 174 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,120 Atlantic plus the points. I don't like it. 175 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,840 I would stay away from it, but gun to my head, I'm taking 14 176 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,920 points there 'cause I don't trust Michigan State at all. 177 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,080 Would you take it over at 45 1/2? 178 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,280 It's a really low over. Yeah, I don't know. 179 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,800 I would just stay away from it. I don't know what to make of 180 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,360 them. That's fair, Fair. 181 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,240 I would agree it's it's not good. 182 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480 You're only four points away from the Iowa Over Under. 183 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,600 Like if you're if you're getting an Iowa over Under territory, 184 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,280 it's like I'm starting to look at the over anyway. 185 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,400 Oh, don't worry, we'll get to that. 186 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,520 Next up we have Western Michigan, Western Michigan at 187 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,040 Wisconsin, WMU. I'm assuming it's Western 188 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,680 Michigan. This is and this is. 189 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:04,800 That's the one team I want to keep an eye out on. 190 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,880 This Oh, OK, nice. Well, they are right now. 191 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,960 They're a 23 1/2 point underdog going into Madison. 192 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,160 OK, do you know why I want to keep an eye out on them? 193 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,320 I have no idea. Their offensive coordinator is a 194 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,040 man named Walt Bell. Oh. 195 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,040 The Over Under total team points for Western Michigan is at 14 196 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,280 1/2 at +105 odds on DraftKings. I have already snagged that up. 197 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,800 So if you have as little faith in Walt Bell at Western Michigan 198 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,640 as you had in him at IU, that is a tasty little bet, my friends. 199 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,320 Oh I love this. So you're betting Western 200 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,320 Michigan unders? I oh team total unders. 201 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,800 Yeah, that seems like the way to go. 202 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,760 I love. I also like the Badgers to roll. 203 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,240 Here I am. I am writing that down. 204 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,760 That's. So there's a little tip for 205 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,880 everybody. Shout out to Big Z for cluing me 206 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,880 in on that. One of my gambling buddies. 207 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,280 He's listening, I'm guessing. That's that is fantastic. 208 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,960 That's a great call. You know what, we're going to 209 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,520 keep up with them every week. I there are, how many weeks do 210 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,400 you think they're going to go under their team total in 211 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,360 points? Everyone until Vegas catches on. 212 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,560 Yeah, it's 14 1/2 right now is the team total. 213 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,040 Yeah, and at plus odds. That's low. 214 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,840 No, no, that's a low number of points for like Vegas. 215 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,560 Wait, I mean, it's also at Wisconsin, but yeah. 216 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,520 Oh I love that defense. Wasn't exactly stellar last 217 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,000 year. James, that's a great call. 218 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,280 That is a great nugget. That's fantastic. 219 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,080 I love the anti Walt Bell. You know, we should also maybe 220 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,960 we should have like like a former IU coaches segment. 221 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,240 Maybe we could play some Alabama bets too. 222 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,800 Let's let's let's. Talk about that. 223 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,400 Alabama some. Some Alabama, some. 224 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:56,720 Yeah, yeah, I love. It well, Speaking of, I did not. 225 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,360 I wish I could segue this. Good. 226 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,400 Didn't plan on it. We have the Tom Allen LED 227 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,920 defense of the Penn State Nittany Lions going in to 228 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,200 Western Virginia. Western Virginia is an 8 1/2 229 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,160 point underdog at home. It's a tough Rd. environment. 230 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,040 I will say that if there was a like on my list of top ten 231 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,760 places I'd love to see a football game. 232 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,520 Charleston's probably like in there for sure. 233 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,240 I imagine that gets raucous. I would agree with that. 234 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,840 Also on my random list of places like obvious, like I'm I'm going 235 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,640 in two weeks, the Rose Bowl. I'm excited for that. 236 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,960 Like there's the ones, you know, the kind of the ones that make 237 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,760 sense. Yeah, we need to talk about 238 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,120 that. By the way, you and Galen taking 239 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:42,000 trips to IU games has ended horribly, so I hope you you're 240 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,480 consulting with a witch doctor of some sort, some sort of 241 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,080 voodoo priestess to, you know, let's wait. 242 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,400 We have two weeks, we have two weeks until then. 243 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,000 But like there's obviously the places you want to see. 244 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,840 For me, kind of one of my stealth picks, like I'm for you, 245 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,240 West Virginia for me is Virginia Tech. 246 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,920 Like I just think a a night game at VTech with Enter Sandman 247 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,920 playing when the team comes in. That place looks fun. 248 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,160 See, I hate Metallica, and I misspoke earlier. 249 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,840 I said Charleston. I'm at Morgantown. 250 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,640 Yeah, wow. Or West, But I but no, I no, 251 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,640 like, I get that. I mean, it's kind of cool, but 252 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,560 then you still got to watch Virginia Tech football. 253 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,280 It's true in the in the Turkey, walking around the field. 254 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,480 All right, So what do you what do you have in this game? 255 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,720 Penn State? I like cover State to cover. 256 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,160 Yeah, I do, too. Do we do we want to bet against 257 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,400 Tom Allen's defense? I don't know 'cause he was 258 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,000 actually a pretty good defensive coordinator. 259 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,480 I want, I want to see, well, I think with enough talent he 260 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,960 could make a defense work. And if he doesn't have to worry 261 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,280 about all the other things, I think that's his wheelhouse. 262 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,720 Yeah, I had. I think it was with Connor 263 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,120 Onion, one of my previews talking about how there might be 264 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,640 more pressure as the defensive coordinator for Penn State than 265 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,520 the head coach at IU football. And I'm actually, I, I don't 266 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,200 think that like on the surface is probably stupid, but there's 267 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200 like, you could really make the argument it's possible because 268 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,600 like it's if that defense gets shredded, his, his ass is going 269 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,800 to be on the line very quickly. Yes, but Penn State, you also 270 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,560 have to remember they need somebody who's going to keep 271 00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:11,280 their nose clean after scandals of the past. 272 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,000 And there's one who's definitely going to do that. 273 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,520 It's Tom Allen, so. Agree, but they're kind of 274 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,920 they're that's ten years in the rear. 275 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,560 I mean I hear but it's also like they, they just want to win. 276 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,920 Like their defence is getting shredded and like if Michigan 277 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,440 beats them and their defence gets shredded, it's it's going 278 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,520 to be on Allen. Oh, absolutely. 279 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,400 But you know, when he was a Miss, Ole Miss, and he had, you 280 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,320 know, SEC talent, he did a damn fine job. 281 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,280 So I can't imagine he's not going to do well, especially the 282 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,400 linebackers. I mean, it's linebacker 283 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,480 university, right? And that's one thing he 284 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720 consistently did is put linebackers in the NFL. 285 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,600 So I'll give him a hat tip for that. 286 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,280 Here's one that I have a real question about. 287 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,240 You have Indiana State at Purdue. 288 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480 Purdue's got question marks all over the place. 289 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,440 It's a noon game. Purdue's a 32 1/2 point 290 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,200 favorite. I mean, Indiana State's not 291 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,440 good, but is Purdue 32 1/2 point favorite good? 292 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,160 How many times has Indiana State rolled into Bloomington and the 293 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,080 Hoosiers haven't covered 32 1/2? Like this is the same deal? 294 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,520 I don't understand why this line is so big. 295 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:17,080 Yeah, Indiana State usually has some decent players, and Purdue 296 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,120 is, like you said, not that great. 297 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,280 So give me the Sycamores and I'll take those points. 298 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,880 I, I agree. I mean, it's one of those where 299 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,800 I think three times out of 10, Purdue's going to cover this, 300 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,480 but it does feel like 7 times out of 10, they're not like, 301 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,000 like you said, we've played Indiana State a bunch of times. 302 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,960 One or two times it feels like we've beaten them like 70 to 13. 303 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,000 But every other time it's it's within 3032 is a huge number. 304 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,840 Huge. Absolutely. 305 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,520 All right. Next up we have UConn at 306 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,640 Maryland. Again, another team with a lot 307 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,600 of question marks of what's the post Tagliovoa era look like in 308 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,480 Maryland. Maryland is a 20 1/2 point 309 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,600 favorite at home. Give me the terps. 310 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,400 Yeah, Yukon's just that bad. This isn't anything to do with 311 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,320 Maryland. It's just Yukon is horrible. 312 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,240 They're bad. So yeah. 313 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,240 All right, team, we wanted to talk about Illinois State is 314 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,520 going into Iowa. Iowa is a love these numbers, 22 315 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,960 1/2 point favorite, but the over under is 41. 316 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,080 It's going to be fun playing the Over under Iowa game again this 317 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,200 season. I just, I don't think their 318 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,880 offense can be as historically bad as it was last year, but you 319 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,880 never know. My high school that I went to 320 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,160 has a pretty decent little quarterback, Carroll High School 321 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,880 out of Fort Wayne, IN and he's been, he was recruited by Big 10 322 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,440 schools and he visited Minnesota and he's committed to Iowa, 323 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,520 which didn't. And they lost their first game 324 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,760 this year to Hamilton Southeastern and a huge blowout 325 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280 fashion. So I assume that Iowa's offense 326 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,120 will continue to be horrible just based on that. 327 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,359 And if we get a 41 total on Iowa, that's an automatic under 328 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:12,960 Scott, we're going to take that. I mean, yeah, that's well in 329 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,640 Illinois State. I mean, can Iowa get? 330 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Can Iowa get 20? 8 How many points is Illinois 331 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,920 State going to put up? That's fair, that's fair. 332 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,119 Like I would say I'd be shocked if they get over 10. 333 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,480 Because if this thing is 21 to 10, Kirk Ference is happy. 334 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,240 If it's 28 to 10, Kirk Ference is happy. 335 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,320 You know, and that's where this thing's going to be. 336 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,600 They're not going to show too much. 337 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,400 They're going to play some, you know, backups that I think 338 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,120 that's where we're at on this go the under. 339 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,880 I'm writing it down. That's that's one like if I 340 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,120 write it down, that means I'm betting it. 341 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,320 Maybe. You know, I think we'll, we'll 342 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,200 toss that in our teaser. This is one where a buddy was 343 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,280 calling me up the other day. We were just talking football 344 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,600 and we were going like he was asking me what I thought lines 345 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,640 were. And we get to the Akron, OH 346 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,200 State Akron at Ohio State game. He's like, what do you think the 347 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,800 line of that game? He's like, wow, what do you 348 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,240 think that line is? And I'm like, wow, I remember 349 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,640 last year Ohio State had a run of like 30 plus point lines just 350 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,840 they were crushing it and I was like, well, you know, it's 351 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,160 early. I don't know. 352 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,760 Like they, you know, I was like, I was like, I don't know, 34 353 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,080 1/2. No, I was wrong. 354 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,240 Line is 48 and a half, 48 1/2 with an over under a 58 1/2. 355 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,280 So they're assuming Ohio State just going to win 50 to nothing. 356 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,120 That's a monster line, dude. That is a monster number. 357 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,680 Yeah, this thing was at 49 earlier, too. 358 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,480 Take Akron, take the points. That's just, that's a stupid 359 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,280 amount of points. I don't care who you are. 360 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,920 I mean, this is a Mac school. Hell, they almost beat Indiana 361 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,560 last year. And sometimes those dual threat 362 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,880 quarterbacks can be a problem for even good defenses, 363 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,680 especially in the first week of the year. 364 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,880 And maybe Ohio State starts a little sluggish or whatever. 365 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Definitely look at the first half spread on that as well. 366 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,920 Well, and the other thing too is, you know, with, with an 367 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,400 expanded playoff, you know, if you're Ohio State, as long as 368 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,640 you just even with one loss, you, you might be getting into 369 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,560 the into the playoff. So I, I do wonder if there's a 370 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,400 little bit of a, you know, resetting here that hasn't 371 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,080 happened, that Vegas isn't factoring in that, you know, a 372 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,240 lot of these teams, Ohio State doesn't need to win these these 373 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,040 garbage games by 5060 points. You just don't need to throw up 374 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,600 a huge number. You just need to win like it's 375 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,120 all you got to do is just stack up wins, not lose. 376 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,240 And and also like with Ohio State, Ryan Day has two jobs 377 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,120 this year and one is to beat Michigan and two is to win the 378 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,120 national title. And honestly, if he doesn't do 379 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,680 both of the he, if he does one and not the other, he's probably 380 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,040 OK. But if he doesn't do two of 381 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,720 those, he's fired or he's going to be really on the hot seat, 382 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760 which is a wild place to be. So I just I don't see them in 383 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,640 any position like if he's up 38 to nothing or, you know, 35 to 384 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,640 nothing, just like, all right, screw it. 385 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,240 Just like let's run the ball, get out of here. 386 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,600 Like, I don't see any reason why he would want to keep guys in to 387 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,480 run up the score. He doesn't need to do anything 388 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,400 this year but beat Michigan. Well, and this isn't, you know, 389 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,480 my thing is this is Akron, this is a Mac school. 390 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,680 It's not. Every single one of these kids 391 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,880 has been passed over by Ohio State, right? 392 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,120 This is their damn Super Bowl, right? 393 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,200 They have no chance of winning, but by God, those kids are going 394 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,040 to go out there and lose by 7 touchdowns. 395 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,120 I think that's a ridiculously highline. 396 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,920 Another bunch of kids who were passed up by Ohio State. 397 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,640 You have Miami of Ohio going to Northwestern in a high school 398 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,800 equivalent arena or not a stadium in wherever they're 399 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,520 playing in the the side of Evanston. 400 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Northwestern is a three-point favorite at Air Quotes Home. 401 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,640 Scott, I believe you have a sound for this pic. 402 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,280 There we go. All right, give me them cats. 403 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,400 So yeah, I'll take them -2 1/2. But you know, win by a field 404 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560 goal against, you know, like, look, it's a Max goal. 405 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,720 This is a field goal game. Like, you know, like that makes 406 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,200 a lot more sense, right? Like, but you're right, they are 407 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,840 playing like in a rec field, like, you know, like it's, it's 408 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,040 pretty bad up there. But we shouldn't discuss that or 409 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,640 Galen will get upset and we'll both be reprimanded. 410 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:27,800 Yes, and it'll sound like this. So Next up, we well, it's so two 411 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,520 thoughts here that involve NCAA 25. 412 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,520 I'm not sure. Have you been playing NCAA 25? 413 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,880 I hate it. I bought a PlayStation five just 414 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,400 to get that game and I am so disappointed in it. 415 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,320 Luckily though my son bought me Fallout 4 for Father's Day and 416 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,240 and I love that so so it's worked out for me to get the new 417 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680 console but very disappointed in the game. 418 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,920 Very very. I will check out Fallout 4. 419 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,000 I've I've enjoyed the game. They just had a new patch a 420 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,480 couple weeks ago and it's it's made it a lot tougher. 421 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,440 Like I'm getting sacked all over the place like it is. 422 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,480 That's what I've been waiting for. 423 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,920 I well, no, it doesn't need to be tougher. 424 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,000 Good Lord, what's the last thing it needs? 425 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,360 Well, it's gotten tougher, at least for me. 426 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,200 Like I, I started a dynasty with Indiana and I'm like, I'm, I 427 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,920 have 12. I have no time to throw the 428 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,200 ball. How many roughing the kicker 429 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,440 penalties you've been called for? 430 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,800 Because I get like 3A game. Well, so I, I SIM, I just play 431 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,800 offense, I SIM kicks, I SIM defense, I just, I get a game 432 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,960 done in like 12 minutes. Yeah, well, if you try to play 433 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,480 defense, trust me, you will throw your controller like 434 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,600 through a window. It's impossible. 435 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Well, it's gotten I I think the offense has gotten harder. 436 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,120 All all that said, I was disappointed when I played at 437 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,240 Northwestern in the game and it's not on the rec league. 438 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,960 Feel like I was kind of curious to see what they did. 439 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,400 It's like now it's still in Ryan field. 440 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,560 So that's where. There's 45 mile an hour wind 441 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,440 gusts coming off of the leg. Yeah, it's like they didn't do 442 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,680 that. And then it's also a bummer, 443 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,920 like we moved Hep's rock too late so that the the the rock is 444 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,040 in the wrong place in the game. And then just this is a personal 445 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,560 note for me. Our next game, UTEP at Nebraska 446 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,080 UTEP, I have a, a, a long standing dynasty that I've 447 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,000 played with my brother-in-law back when the game like in 2008, 448 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,280 you know, 5678910, like we played a dynasty every year. 449 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,240 There was online dynasties. We had one that went 28 years. 450 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,640 We then exported all of those draft picks into Madden and 451 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,160 played a 28 year Madden dynasty. Like we, we go deep. 452 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760 I've been playing one with him. We're in year 4I, I started with 453 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,880 UTEP. So I feel like I have a lot of 454 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,080 connection to UTEP right now so that we're doing pretty well. 455 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,480 We have not won a title at UTEP, but I've I've taken him to the 456 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,000 national championship game twice. 457 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,600 All this is fairy tale stuff, but in real world, UTEP is going 458 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,760 to Nebraska, and Nebraska is a 27 1/2 point favorite over my 459 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:56,800 beloved UTEP team. I'm tempted to take Nebraska and 460 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,200 lay the points, but I also like the under here. 461 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,880 I really like the under, yeah. 49 1/2. 462 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,520 Yeah, 49 1/2, I think that's a good under and I think that's 463 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,240 the one to take. Nebraska's offense, I'm not sure 464 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,880 about. They may put up some points, but 465 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,480 I can assure you that UTEP's a real life offense will not 466 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,040 mirror that of your video game experience and I'm doubting they 467 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,680 put up a ton of points. My team did I won the Heisman my 468 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,760 first year with the the running back there, but I don't think 469 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,400 it's going to happen in real life. 470 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,320 All right, another my God, this is like so many big we got to 471 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,760 stop talking so many big 10 teams. 472 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,440 All right, we have UCLA at Hawaii and Hawaii is a 14 point 473 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,200 underdog. Why? 474 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,880 What is What is? What do we know about UCLA? 475 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,600 Here's what I like. I like the over in this game at 476 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,920 54 and a. Half OK, that's a good way to 477 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,200 play it. I think there's going to be a 478 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,320 ton of points scored here. Tommy Chang out at Hawaii, he 479 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,360 got the offense moving last year. 480 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,240 They got a lot better towards the end of the year and UCLA 481 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,120 defensively should be able to put up a little bit of a fight 482 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:05,360 against them, but I think they might put up some points too. 483 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:08,080 I like the over late, late night, actually. 484 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,400 This is a four third or a 130 kick. 485 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,040 For them, yeah, seven afternoon game, 7:30 Eastern. 486 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,800 All right, Next up, by the way, bummed that Idaho was not in the 487 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,000 NCAA Football game. So like no Kibby Dome for any of 488 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,080 us? The dome's the best. 489 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,880 It it was the best part of the game. 490 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,800 Like that was one of the best parts of the game. 491 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,440 You have Idaho at Oregon. Oregon. 492 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,920 Get ready man, a 43 1/2 point favorite. 493 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,560 OK, I know I hate stupid lines. This is the one I'd take. 494 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,160 I I kind of agree that I feel like Oregon could just easily 495 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,360 blow this line out. They seem like the team that'll 496 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:51,240 win 56 to 10 or 63 to 10. Yeah, this is poor, poor, poor 497 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,720 Vandals. They're about to get boat 498 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,200 raised. Look at the over under 62 1/2. 499 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,840 Yeah, I kind of like, I don't, I don't like any of that. 500 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,240 I I would, I would take yeah, Oregon plus the points. 501 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,960 I wouldn't go to the over under. Yeah. 502 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,200 All right, and then you have Michigan, the defending national 503 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,040 champions hosting Fresno State and they're like, all right, 504 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,600 we're going to get our respect. You know, we we've done a little 505 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,720 cheating. We have some suspensions, but 506 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,120 we're going to, we're going to get the respect from everybody. 507 00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:23,240 And then Nope, Oregon gets a big line, Ohio State gets a big line 508 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,480 and they get a big sad trombone. All they get is a 21 point line 509 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,240 at home. They're 21 point favorites over 510 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,120 Fresno State. And I like Fresno State here 511 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,400 with those points. If we will remember correctly, 512 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,400 last year Michigan did not have crazy lines and they did not 513 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,560 cover those lines either. Now I know we have a new coach, 514 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:52,760 but we also have less talent on the team. 21 seems a bit much. 515 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,440 So give me a Fresno State plus points. 516 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,360 We got two left. We have Weber State, Weber 517 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:02,240 State, Weber, Weber, Weber, Weber. 518 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,680 They're going to Washington, Washington, which is like just a 519 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,120 shell of themselves. They don't have anything. 520 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,160 They are a 26 point favorite at home. 521 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,200 And the over under I got it 52 1/2 that's. 522 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,920 Where I see it too, yeah. Yeah, and I like the under here. 523 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,760 I don't know what to make of Washington's offense. 524 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,320 I assume their defense should be able to keep Weber State in 525 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,600 check simply by the fact that they're Washington and the other 526 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,680 team is Weber State. So yeah, give me the under here. 527 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,120 I don't see a ton of points there. 528 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,920 And the last game, this is a good one man 730 on ABC. 529 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,680 You have LSU going to USC, both ranked teams. 530 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,960 This is where we're going to see is USC legit? 531 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,440 Are they going to be able to to to be a, to be a top level team? 532 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,560 Line doesn't say. So they are a four and a half 533 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,560 point underdog at home. Over give me the over points, 534 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,800 points, points, points, points. So the over 60. 4 1/2. 535 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,120 Yep, give me the over. This thing's going to be wild, 536 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,360 man. I got a feeling. 537 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,920 OK, I'm I'm going to write that down too. 538 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,920 I like you. You sold me just on saying it 539 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,560 five times. Well, maybe we toss it into a 540 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,480 teaser. You know, we find our best ones, 541 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,480 you know, we toss them into a teaser here. 542 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,240 That's what I like to do. You tease, you know, you get 6 543 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,960 points. You know, if we were to pick the 544 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,800 three best, which gives you like a + 160, which ones of those do 545 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,360 you like the best, Scott? Well, we got to get to the IU 546 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:35,920 game. We forgot one. 547 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,840 We forgot one so. The bread and butter. 548 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,480 I know the whole reason people are listening. 549 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,840 So before we get to the IU game, just a quick shout out to our 550 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,200 friends over at Upland Brewing who have the Hoosier Game Day 551 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,400 Logger.

I have some Game day Logger in 572 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,440 my fridge which I will be bringing to the tailgate lot. 573 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,360 Ray to Rock'n'roll. I know Galen's going to have his 574 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,720 tailgate going. I think he's getting there like 575 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,280 a nine. He's doing a double meal, 576 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,400 tailgate, a breakfast and a lunch, which is a lot all in 577 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,480 advance. I'll be there. 578 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,280 Bring me a game day logger. Are you gonna? 579 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,360 Are you coming? Are you coming down? 580 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,800 My my oldest son, who's a senior in high school and I are coming 581 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,040 down for the game, so we'll be at Galen's tailgate. 582 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,600 So make sure to stop by and say, hey, and you better bring me a 583 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,120 game day logger. I will. 584 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,880 I love Upland, I will. Galen's moving his spot this 585 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,120 year so it's a little bit harder for us. 586 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,120 So I will text you where we're going to be. 587 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,680 You got to come, you might need to come, come by ours on the way 588 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,520 in the stadium. We can do that. 589 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,040 A lot I don't know after a are you, are you doing the 9:00 590 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,040 start time for the for the tailgate? 591 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,280 No, we won't get that. We got to drive from Fort Wayne, 592 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,360 so we won't be there that early. OK, so I was going to say, if 593 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,560 you're starting at 9, there's no way I'm getting a a James that 594 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,480 is going to be coherent by the time he gets to my tailgate. 595 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,280 Well, incoherent James is sometimes the best. 596 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,520 And all of this leading up to the Florida International game 597 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,200 coming to IUIUI was surprised by this. 598 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,840 I was trying to guess the line. I was going to say like 17 and a 599 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,520 half, 14 1/2 just because I think a lot of the the the 600 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,240 national and kind of the the pundits out there are just not 601 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,120 sure of what to make of IU. And they kind of default back on 602 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,120 this program doesn't do well with change, doesn't do well 603 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,120 with a lot of question marks, which is I have no, no way to go 604 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,200 against that. But we we got over 20 man 21 1/2 605 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,520 point line at home and the over under is 51 1/2. 606 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,960 What are you feeling? We have a bigger line than 607 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,480 Michigan does. I know, right? 608 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,280 So yeah, but we are playing Pitbull University. 609 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,200 Yes, Yeah, that's right. Yeah. 610 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,240 Is he going to be there? I hope so. 611 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,720 Oh God, how awesome would that be. 612 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,160 If he stops by Galen's tailgate, it's on. 613 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,480 I will have a beer checking contest with Pitbull and I'll 614 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,400 humiliate Mr. Worldwide in the 812. 615 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,640 So. I, I don't think any of that's 616 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,000 going to happen, but my God, if it does, that would be 617 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,640 fantastic. I don't know what's what's more 618 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,000 unlikely together. I don't know. 619 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,520 What's more unlikely is like the fact that we actually had game 620 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,960 day come to IU once, or if we would have a drinking contest 621 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,480 between you and Pitbull. Give me enough beers, I'll 622 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,080 convince you. I had the other one. 623 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:10,680 So, but no. So we're playing FIU, which is 624 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,680 exciting. I'm going to be there. 625 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,160 And look, FIU has got a dual threat quarterback and that 626 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,600 concerns me when you talk about big lines. 627 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,040 We've got a defense and offense that are still learning things 628 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,720 that aren't going to be throwing the kitchen sink out there. 629 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,640 Chris Igneti, let me just tell you this. 630 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,080 I've been an IU football fan my entire life. 631 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,760 It has not been easy, OK? I had season tickets when I was 632 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,800 in college and I sometimes got too inebriated to even attend 633 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,280 the games. And when I say sometimes, I mean 634 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,320 most of the time. So, you know, they just. 635 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,720 But, you know, we at least had Antoine Randall or we'd put up 636 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,800 points or, you know, we'd at least be fun or whatever. 637 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,840 We've had nothing of that recently. 638 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,960 I am so absolutely on board for this team and this coach. 639 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,440 I want to run through a wall for the damn guy. 640 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,480 That love stuff never worked for me. 641 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,640 Did you see the new T-shirts they had when he took over? 642 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,520 When they were showing like the training video? 643 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,920 The like training pictures? They replaced Leo with another 3 644 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:20,440 letters WIN and I freaking loved it because that's what it's all 645 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,920 about. I heard Justice Ellison on NBC 646 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,400 Sports doing an interview. This team is bought in, man. 647 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,800 They're absolutely bought in. And you give me a confident team 648 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,440 with a quarterback who is seasoned. 649 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440 And do you know, Curse Work is married. 650 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,400 I found that out today. He's got a, that's a mature 651 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,040 person right there. You know, that's the kind of 652 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,160 person you want leading your football team. 653 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,080 And Signetti seems to be absolutely in love with him. 654 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,000 So you know what? I love all those things. 655 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,520 That being said, 21 1/2 points, that's a sucker's bet right 656 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,720 there. That hook right there is going 657 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,760 to screw you, I bet. But if IU comes out and they 658 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:10,080 win, you know, you know, 35 to 14, we're all super happy, 659 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,480 right? That's a good game, a good win. 660 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,520 We don't cover, right? So that's my guess is we're not 661 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,760 going to go balls out. We're not going to, you know, do 662 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,520 the Bielema, I'm going to run up the score kind of thing. 663 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,440 I think a 20 point point victory Signet, he's happy with that. 664 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,760 I looked at what JMU did against lesser competition last year. 665 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,800 They didn't tend to run up the score. 666 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,480 They had, you know, closer games. 667 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,840 So my guess is that Florida International at least keeps it 668 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,880 within the 21 1/2. But I think the Hoosiers win 669 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,520 big. Yeah, I well win big, but not 670 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:50,040 not 21 1/2 big. A20A3 touchdown win is a big win 671 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,600 you. Know it's the hook, it's that 672 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,679 hook that that's going. To kill you. 673 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,480 Yeah, no. And I'm, I'm with you on all of 674 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,320 that. I think the play here is you 675 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,920 just throw the Hoosier money line into a couple other parlays 676 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,360 and just use that as a guaranteed win. 677 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,200 Because I'm, I'm with you, I'm I think Indiana can look good. 678 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,080 I think they can win and then we all have a great day. 679 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,240 I'm not sure they can cover 21 1/2 and it sucks to lose bets 680 00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,680 like that when your team had a good day and you walk away 681 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,920 losing money. Even the over under 51 1/2. 682 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,800 It's like I could see a 35 to 14 game that just isn't getting me, 683 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,520 isn't getting me enough or even like a 28 to, you know, 28 to 10 684 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,840 or something like just a game where you're just not getting 685 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,880 enough points to get to the the over under. 686 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,640 But I'm, I'm with you. You heard our preview podcast. 687 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,880 I'm very I have us at 8:00 and 4:00 and I've been saying, you 688 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,680 know, it's it's partially, I think Cignetti's doing the right 689 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,200 stuff. I think we've got the better, 690 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,280 but I don't think we had that little talent last year. 691 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,320 But I also just continue to go back to the way the schedule is. 692 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,440 It just breaks so well, but you look at it, it's like this. 693 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,200 The first two weeks are games you don't really do a lot. 694 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,440 You just you got to win and then if you're going to start opening 695 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:07,200 things up, you do it at UCLA. Yeah, I live in Fort Wayne, so 696 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,720 to get down there is a bit of a trip for me, you know, like, but 697 00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,400 I bought the mini season ticket package. 698 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,280 I am all in. I'm going to four games this. 699 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,480 Year, let's go. I I want to be there to support 700 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,240 my team. We, we have needed a football 701 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:24,560 program for so long. Yeah. 702 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,560 And I think we finally got the guy who can do it. 703 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,480 And I'm juiced. What do you think? 704 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,160 Totally. Everything breaks the schedule. 705 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,800 When do we play Penn State this year? 706 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,120 Are you kidding me? What else? 707 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,400 What do you think? What do you think we end with 708 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,720 off of our schedule? What do you think we end with? 709 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:43,640 What's our win total? Well, I took the over 5 1/2. 710 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:54,200 I I think we get to nine wins. Whoa, Yep, whoa. 711 00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,000 I didn't bet it, but I think we do. 712 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,440 In fact, I did put I had two $5 free bets and I put one on IU to 713 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,800 make the Big 10 championship game and one on IU to win it. 714 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,120 By the way, if that happens, your old boy is going to be 715 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,160 wealthy. What was the what's the pay off 716 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,280 on that? Well the one is like $1500 on a 717 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,320 $5 bet, so. Were you able to find like 718 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,240 Curtis Rourke, Heisman odds? I didn't. 719 00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:27,960 Look for him yet, but I should I do have a great parlay for. 720 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,520 This OK, Yeah, yeah, we got, yeah, we got to wrap up. 721 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,640 Let's do a Let's do our parlay of the week for Big 10. 722 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,880 All right. So I've got, well, this is just 723 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,280 a regular parlay that I've got. OK, I've got Colorado, Texas, 724 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,240 Christian, Penn State, and Oklahoma State all in the money 725 00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:47,560 line. And then I tossed in FIU plus 21 726 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:48,520 and A. Half. 727 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,120 Come on man. Yeah, I because it's, I think 728 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,960 that's probably going to happen. Now, if we look at our teasers, 729 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,640 what teasers do we want to go to? 730 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,840 Put three together, get plus 160 and you -6 points off of it, 731 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,320 right? Or you get 6 points. 732 00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:07,040 If we take three of mine earlier, Scott, which ones would 733 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:13,080 you take to tease? I don't do a lot of teasers. 734 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,600 I'm more, I'm more a parlay guy. But I would probably. 735 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,640 God, there's so many big lines. It's like, I don't even know 736 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,800 what to tease because you got to go to one of the smaller lines, 737 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,640 like maybe the Penn State line. Let's go with Penn State. 738 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:34,680 Yeah, let's go with Maryland and get that down to 14, and then 739 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,960 let's go with Indiana State and get that up to 38 1/2. 740 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,240 Yeah, I I like that. So you know. 741 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,640 Or or rip rip that hook off the IU game and get it down to like 742 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,280 17 or something. We could easily do that too. 743 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,320 Yep, so you can get that IU one down to 15 1/2. 744 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,600 I think that's probably a decent play too. 745 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,400 Don't forget there are alternate lines available if our listeners 746 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,680 are going to be following me on X at Crimson Cast 260. 747 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,920 I will be posting all these bets as well as some of the prop bets 748 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,960 for the IU game. The prop bets aren't listed yet, 749 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,880 so I cannot bet them yet, but once they are, I'll start 750 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,480 getting in there and looking and seeing where there's any value 751 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:22,320 we might be able to find. Assuming there is coverage in 752 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,600 Bloomington from the parking lot, Probably so. 753 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,960 I think it's 100,000 to one for Indiana to win the national 754 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,400 championship. Well, I didn't say national 755 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,800 champion, I just did a Big 10 champion. 756 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,560 I'm just I'm looking at I'm looking at the the championship. 757 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:41,600 It went odds right now, futures. That's wild. 758 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,000 All right, man, James, I look forward to another season. 759 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,520 This one was they're going to we're going to have to go a 760 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,600 little faster, man. I did not. 761 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,400 This is like 40 minutes. This is long for us. 762 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,760 It's a lot of big 10 teams, man. It's just it's a lot of teams. 763 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,680 We'll, we'll condense people. Don't worry, we will. 764 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,240 But we don't. We don't want to talk to your 765 00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:59,160 ear off. Nah, but it's it's it's fun 766 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,600 times. We'll get more sounds. 767 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,800 We're going to bring back a lock of the week. 768 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,520 We just got to think of a good sound for it. 769 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,840 It's not going to be the cat. But no, James, it's been 770 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:08,920 awesome.
