Hi folks, welcome back to Crimson cast.
Scott here with you, another episode of crimson cash.
I have my partner James with me. James, how you doing man?
Week one, doing doing great doing great week, zero as a
fantastic. Yeah, dude, we provided you a
winner. I bet I should have just taken
Illinois in Money line, but I took the points, I lost the
over-under, but still won against Nebraska.
Think it would be fun to bet against Nebraska all season,
it's going to be great. I may take Fordham over on
Nebraska, who knows, but yeah, that was fantastic.
I actually looked for a way to get Illinois giving points and
couldn't find that line anywhere.
So, I had to take them on the money on.
Also, I've gotten we had a couple notes in our Facebook
chat about the, the cursing that Provide in the podcast.
So I'm trying to solve Center on the Crimson cast pods but I will
say explicit warning. Now this is a big gambling pod.
Some of the stuff James sent me for our quick hitter.
Last week, There's a five iterations that were
unacceptable but if you're listening with kids in the car
but I got two young kids. Listen the pods all the time.
I would say now is the time to turn it down because I'm not
going to censor for Crimson cash.
So let's fucking go like let's fucking go.
It's week one. Yeah, get the goddamn kids out
of the room. The adults are here.
Let's wager some money. It's time to gamble.
All right, let's go. We're going to keep these quick
week one, Ohio State, at Minnesota, Ohio state is a
14-point favorite. Here's what I was thinking
about, with this game, big Minnesota's gonna be pretty good
this year, but it would be like, imagine if I could tell you,
hey, there's a new movie called Star Wars coming out and is
actually not the second one. It's The Empire Strikes Back and
you're able to Money on Darth Vader and the Empire.
Like the team with the fucking death.
Star of you get to put money on them, wouldn't that be fun?
It would be, you get to do it here. 14 points, a lot, Ohio
state is really, really good. I'm taking a house.
This will be a probably a reoccurring theme.
I'm taking Ohio State and points.
Yeah, I jumped on this when it was 13 and a half earlier in the
week, it has moved down to 14. I'd still taking it, I put
another bet on it. Today, I've got Ohio State - In
points in the first half line, I think there's no way Minnesota
can hang with Ohio State. Now, if that goes wrong I'm kind
of screwed. But I don't think that's going
to. I like to go hiyo State on the
money line in a parlay that I'm doing just you know to add a
little extra to it. Minnesota's not going to win
this game in Minnesota is not gonna get within two touchdowns.
I mean, look at the history when these two teams get together,
it's not pretty. So yeah, give me the Buckeyes.
Give those points. And no knock on Minnesota's.
Just like a hush tastes really good.
Here's a line that shocked me Northwestern last year was the
Big Ten West Champion, whether I mean I was probably a better
team but that was still a team that won a lot of games.
Michigan state is like a dumpster fire within a dumpster
fire. They're on the road.
Somehow northwestern's, only a three and a half Point favorite,
which if you assume like three points for being at home, but
that's a Pick'em. What the fuck?
So I'll take Northwestern and lay three and a half and feel
really good about it. I don't understand what, what am
I missing here like is? I don't know, is Rocky Lombardi.
Also going to come back in time and retransfer back and become
Vince, Lombardi and bring Bart Starr back and I don't know
what's going on like Northwestern three and a half
and I'm putting a lot of money on that.
Yeah, that's one of those lines. That really jumped out to me,
too. And these week one lines are
usually really weird, you know, usually you're getting these
giant spreads and you got this game because I think they have
no idea what to do with either of these teams.
But Michigan state was such a mess last year.
I don't get the respect that they're getting in this.
So, I am with you. I have also already taken
Northwestern. Wait, those points.
So, yeah, I'm with you right there.
Next, don't you did miss the other Thursday game, you
glossed, right, over our other Thursday game and I really, I
really want to talk about this one, it's Rutgers versus Temple.
That's how I was going to that next.
Sorry, it's Winona, we got makeup moves because matter it's
a Saturday game now because Rucker stadium is flooded.
I didn't know that. I was all excited about winning
some money on Rutgers tonight so they pushed it to Saturday,
really, really if you're excited about football.
And you are really, really into this game and you want to bet on
this game. I've got some numbers for you.
Ready? Scott.
Go one, eight, one. Eight hundred nine with it.
No human being should be subjected to having to watch
Temple and Rutgers play a football game in a flood.
I mean they can be played in the bathtub.
It sounds like so this is going to be no good.
However, I did take Rucker's and gave 10 points.
I took an alternate line and put it on a parley somewhere.
So, but I think Rutgers wins by two touchdowns easy.
Yeah, I mean Rutgers is they're 14 and a half Point favorites at
home. I don't know, man.
I'm going to take temple in the points.
Just I don't think, I don't think temples good.
I just think it's going to be a sloppy field.
It's going to be a mess. It might just be one of those
games where it's like, Rutgers gets up by 10 is like, we're
just moving on. I'm not super comfortable that,
but I like Rutgers, I just don't think they are worthy of a
14-point wine. The under might be a good play
here. That's a Call next up another
Saturday game. We have, and we're saving you
for last. We have Michigan and Western
Michigan, Gala. And I looked at this on our
season Preview Michigan schedule is just garbage.
Like, they are so ready to be 7 in 1, ranked 9th, and Country
and be so overvalued. They are a 17-point favorite at
home. I like them to actually cover
this. I like Michigan - 70 now.
The Michigan's good team. I think you're gonna get a lot
of value on them later on where some lines are a little bit too
big. But I think for this, I don't
think Western Michigan is super good.
I don't think Michigan is very good either, but I think they're
going to be able to crush bad opponents, and then they're
going to get crushed as the season goes on.
So I would take Michigan. Length, 17 points.
Well, this isn't nearly as much fun.
We're agreeing on everything. But, you know, you've heard
people say, you know, horrible is going to lose his job if he
loses the Indiana Ohio State again, or what look if he can't
beat Western Michigan by that by 17 points.
There's a problem. There's way bigger problems.
In Ann Arbor, they don't win this game, by at least three
touchdowns, I'd say he's immediately on the hot seat.
So, I'm going to take Michigan, I'm going to lay those points
Penn State at Wisconsin Wisconsin's, a five and a half
Point favorite. I'ma keep it simple again, I'm
not sure Penn State, I don't know if they were good.
This is a lot of respect for a team.
In Wisconsin, who is very steady, Eddie, we joked about
Iowa being the IRS in our pregame as well, like Wisconsin
is very much The same like they are the same every year that
they don't have like super down Seasons Camp.
Randall is not super easy to play and it'll be their first
home game with fans and I don't know, I think I could see
Wisconsin winning by 7. So I like, I like Wisconsin.
I've got them taken a lot of teams to cover point spreads,
but I like Wisconsin, land, five and a half.
Well, finally, we disagree on something.
I'm sure we can agree on this how horrible it is to have these
big ten games to start a season. Yes, I would This game should be
played in October, you know, or November Camp Randall.
In September is not nearly as daunting as Camp, Randall in
November. So, I'm going to take Penn
State. I'm going to take five and a
half points. This could be a field goal game
either way. They're both good teams and
Wisconsin. Last year, towards the end of
the year was not playing great offensive football, Iowa and
Indiana, both held him down pretty well.
Now a lot of that Had to do with the covid issues that they had
all throughout their team. So it's really hard to judge who
they are and what they are thinking.
Like the team that just took it to Illinois last year in the
first half of the first game or they gonna, you know, look like
they did against Indiana and Iowa, I'm going to take Penn
State, I'll take those points. Here's what I love.
You have Fordham at Nebraska, Nebraska is a 41 and a half
Point favorites. Okay.
And kind of like what I said last week, like the fuck is this
based on? Like, this is the kind of line
that you see when Alabama is playing a bad team, like yeah, I
get fordham's, not going to win. I'm not about to call for to
moneyline here. Said, 40, why don't you Howard?
Yeah, yeah. Go Farley that with Minnesota
moneyline. I mean, here's the thing,
Indiana is a better team than Nebraska.
They're not going to have a forty one and a half point line,
any time this season. Even they play, like Idaho
Idaho's a better team than Fordham.
This is just a bunkers line and just for fun, I love taking
Fordham in the points, like 41 and a half is just an absurd
number of points, maybe to Braska, gets it like, prove it
to me. We they can score 50 points.
That'd be nice. But yeah I it's just it's going
to be fun betting against Nebraska all season.
I think you're going to make some money and this is one where
it's just a point. Play like 41 and a half is again
fucking Bonkers for to what's the over-under on that Scott.
The over-under is 55 and a half they think fordham's like not
going to score. Yeah it's either for you know
it's going to be 49 27 is you know kind of where this
predictions coming out at. I don't see that happening.
I actually like the under here, I think that's the play because
I mean, if Fordham scores is not going to be more than a
touchdown probably like, what are they?
An FCS school, I'm guessing. Yeah, yeah, and and Nebraska
will eventually call off the dogs if they can even find the
end zone to begin with. So, yeah, I'm gonna take the
under here, doesn't the Brassica to find the dogs first or they
can call them off? Like, do they have dogs to call
off? Well, maybe they're still in
hiding from their secret workouts.
Who knows, you know, maybe half the team like It was stuck in
the escape room that they were using to do their secret
workouts and never made it back. Next up, you have Western
Virginia at Maryland. Maryland is a three point
Underdog at home to West Virginia or West Virginia.
Sorry. West when I say yeah West
Virginia or Western, I mean, Western Virginia.
To we have West, Virginia, Maryland.
I want you to go first. So I don't know the answer, I
don't know what I'm thinking here.
Who the hell knows? The answer to this question and
this is a question. Do what he wants to ask you
know, Maryland, West Virginia. What the hell?
I'll take Maryland. And get I'm getting three
points. Yeah.
I mean they're at home. You're getting an underdog at
home. It's one of these things I think
will know just right away whether Maryland's good or not.
And so the over-under on that game the over could be a good
play. Yeah 57 and a half.
That's a low. Yeah, I like that.
I like the over there. I think that would be my play.
I don't plan on putting any money on this although if I'm
watching the game and it's fun, I might end up but I doubt it
next up. You have Purdue hosting.
Oregon State, not Western Oregon State, but Oregon State Purdue
is a seven-point favorite enjoy that Purdue one of the few games
this year, you might be a favorite.
I guess, this is an early sign of the ACC Big Ten Pac-12
Alliance. There you go.
I don't know. Much about Oregon State.
I know that I don't think Purdue was good at all.
I don't like Purdue having to. I just don't like Purdue being,
you know, a favorite at all. Enjoy betting against Purdue I'm
soaking. Oregon State plus 7.
Well, I knew you were going to do that because you do love
betting against. Yes, it's fine, you know,
anyways, I think I'm going to take the boilers and give the
touchdown. I think.
Jeff brohm is better than whoever the hell.
Oregon state has a coach, because I don't know who it is.
Big Ten schools generally better in Pac-12 schools and Purdue and
Oregon State, or about the same in each conference.
You know, they're both towards the bottom.
I'm going to take the boilers, get the points.
University of Texas, the roadrunners, not 90 versus
Texas, but UTSA the road runners are going to Illinois.
I think it will noise like not bad.
There are five and a half Point favorite here at home.
I like Illinois and I'll have to lay those five and a half
points, but I like Illinois on this.
Like I think, I think they're a better team than what they're
getting credit for. I agree with you there.
I mean they've had a pretty soft schedule so far.
So if you can't really count that Nebraska, Aska wind, you
know, in their column because I mean who couldn't beat Nebraska
at this point. But, you know, UTSA University
of Texas. San Antonio is a commuter school
about an hour outside. San Antonio, why do I know this?
Because they were one of the schools that were playing during
weird time during code last year and I've been on like almost
every one of their games. They play army, they play
schools like that. They are not five and a half
points, you know, within five and a half points of Illinois.
So I'm going to take, I'm going to lay the points.
I think Illinois should wind up by at least a touchdown.
All right, coup de gras. Here's the big moment.
Indiana at Iowa. I'm going to be there, which is
easily a half point for Indiana, cause I'll be cheering loudly,
Iowa is a three and a half Point favorite, the over-under is 45
points. I mean, I like I begin the end
of defense is good, but I think our defense is good enough to
actually get some points on defense.
I think 45 is a really low over under, I mean, Northwestern,
Michigan state has 45 and a half.
This is the lowest over under of any big 10 game happening this
week. You know, you look at some of
Indiana's games last year. They had some pretty, some games
are they scored some points. I think I like the over.
I like Indiana plus three and a half out Like Indiana moneyline.
I think it'd be amaz going to win this game.
So I'm probably going to bet all 3 of those.
I've already been two of them are very bad, Indiana moneyline.
I put more money in Indiana, plus three and a half.
Just get the points and take a win.
Hopefully, but I like all of those things, but that's, that's
where I'm at money. Where the mouth it mouth?
Is this one's hard for me. Scott, because the last time I
was really sold on Indiana football.
They screwed me over against Ole Miss in the bowl game and it was
the worst single gambling day I've ever had.
That being said, I think I'm ready to drink the Kool-Aid
again. Go.
Now I do have some concerns here.
I would not take that over. I saw something.
Iowa has like the longest streak in the country of allowing less
than 24 points in a game. So you know if you're looking
like a 24:21 game probably somewhere in that range, looking
at a close game with two pretty decent.
Defense has. I'm going to go with the best
quarterback on the board and the quarterback between these two
teams is Michael panics and he is healthy, and he is ready to
play. I've already taken the Hoosiers
on the money line, so I have put my money where my mouth is and
I'm ready for them to go up to Iowa.
City and win a ballgame which they haven't done since when
great question. Yeah.
Exactly 80's 90's. It's been a while.
So it's it's so hard having seen
so many eiu football games in my life.
To pick them to win a game on the road.
Like, it's just, it just doesn't happen, but it's happened.
More recently, and it has to happen at some point in time
statistically. So, let's do it.
Let's let's get a win here because I'm going to the game
against Idaho, and I want a perfect record going into that
game. So let's do a voice.
Indiana, Indiana beats. Iowa.
What is our line against Idaho in that game?
I, I say that we are Twenty-four Point favorites.
I think it depends. How are you beat Iowa if it's a
real close. Nail-biter like a 17 to 14 type
thing. I think you can see a spread
somewhere around like 17 and a half.
Yeah I think if I you goes out and wins by three touchdowns
you're probably going to be somewhere around twenty four and
a half. Yeah well we're not going to
yeah. You probably run, maybe 17.
I don't see a speeding Iowa by three touchdowns I think no
matter what is a close game. So you're at, well, well, there
is a way. You mentioned at the defense
starts getting some pick sixes. That's the way things could get
out of hand and You Know, Tamar Johnson's on the Broncos, but
there's still some town in that secondary.
So I'm an, it's been good. There's week one.
I think we hit em all my, if I had to pick my like a lock,
lock, a lock of the of the week, its Northwestern at three and a
half points. And I just, I love love that
pick mine would be Ohio State - two touchdowns.
Yeah, especially those Ohio State minus 7 in the first half
tonight. I'm telling you that is like,
the can't believe that's even on the board as possibility.
So, Yeah, to their also then there are also three and a half
minus three and a half in the first quarter.
So there's some interesting places you can get tonight and
try some of those single game parlays out, you can get some
promos and free bets off of those so yep.
And then, I think I'm going to end up hopefully starting my
weekend off, right? And just throwing Ohio State
money line into a bunch of parle ice and then just either Ohio
State fucks my weekend, or I start off a leg of a They
already done and for those of you out there on DraftKings get
in get the hammer the / promo and there's a Tampa Bay
Buccaneers plus seventy three and a half point spread promo.
Get on both of those free money folks.
Nice. Good call on that drive.
Got to get on that. All right.
I love and DraftKings does that? Yeah, did I tell you?
My did I tell you my story last year with that.
That Free Bet thing. The MBA known know, there was a
this is my story to all and then we'll wrap it up.
I gotta remember the exact details.
It was like the first weekend of the NFL playoffs last year and
the they were having a promotion like you know like a will there
be a touchdown scored in the Wild Card round like of the
eight games? Like will there be a touchdown
scored? Yes.
Is like, you know, plus David or so, it was like, just a free
better, like, you could benefit 20 bucks.
Like yes, they'll be a touchdown scored and then, you know, I
remember seeing the thing and then I was like, as awful, Mike
help, my kids get ready for bed. I was like throwing the bed in,
and like, I always forget like what the amount is.
So I just threw in, like, 200 bucks.
Like, just because they normally tell you, like, Oh No, and when
you put it in like, oh no, like the limit is only $25 for a bed
of this type, but I made the bet at like, 200 bucks and it took
the BET and it wasn't like the promo.
Is like, just I had bet straight, like there will be a
touchdown in a playoff game this weekend.
There's like 200 to win like $202, and it was like shit, like
because I didn't want to bet 200 bucks on like, I'm, I'm pretty
confident. Like, there's gonna be a
touchdown and like one of the eight games.
It's like the first game, the first quarter.
I'm like, can we just get a touchdown?
I think it might have been like 500 bucks.
It was just, it was a huge amount of money where it's like,
I'm winning like five bucks, but it's like, there's it would be
Bonkers, but this would just be The the way that I would lose
500 bucks, just basically give them gambling, the rest of my
life. And I went back and read that
and got the promo. So I get like had double down
it's like I just need a touchdown was like if I was
joking with friends and if there was one game like the first game
of the weekend just went like, you know, six to three score I
would have been like. All right.
This is we got it. Like this is insane.
So anyway, so be careful out there on the those free bets.
Yeah. Hey I got a free BET and won it
on the 14 times as much. On a Logan.
Paul fight. So nice to know is free bets
into some money. Always go for the plus odds on
the free bets, folks. Oh yeah, always so our man,
James, it's a pleasure. Until next time, we'll see you
next week. Go make some money, be safe out
there and yes, go Hoosier, Joe, go Hoosiers.
All right, till next time this is Scott for James for Crimson
cash signing off.
