Speaker 1: It's Week nine in college football.
Speaker 2: We've got three top twenty five games for you guys,
some barking dogs, best bets, the Deli twenty one and
thirteen on the season should be back open. And of
course we've got that Steam report with Yanni the Greek
coming up next on bat on it Hi, Kelly Stewart
here aka Kelly in Vegas, Marco DiAngelo, and Yanni the
Greek back from Vancouver.
Speaker 1: What a great UFC card that was.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get right into these top twenty five games,
and I gotta go first. Twelve PM Easter number eight,
Mississippi catching five at number thirteen Oklahoma total fifty four
and a half. Do you guys remember I took South
Carolina last week? Was not the greatest performance. I thought
maybe that Texas ole miss Sandwich might be just a
little too much for Oklahoma, but they got the job
done thanks to South Carolina's offensive coordator Mike Shula. Anyway,
I digress also John Mattier, Hey, he looked a little
bit better last week because he didn't throw three interceptions
like he did versus Texas Oklahoma. I will say all
games this year have stayed under the total and that
is because of this Sooner's defense allowing just an average
of nine point four points per game twenty eight sacks
on the season. And I think you guys kind of
understand where I'm going here. As much as I love
Old Miss and as much as every year we think
Ole Miss is different right now Lane Kiffin currently the
front runner to be the next head coach at the
University of Florida. I gotta give a little bit of
credit to the ReBs last week. Their defense played tough,
but they were on the field for a eight plays
in that high scoring loss to the Bulldogs, which they
ultimately did not get the cover forty three thirty five.
That was a tough one. Now they're going early kick
to Norman. I think this is going to be too
much for this team. One loss isn't debilitating in the
twelve team college football playoff for either one of these guys.
But man, I think ole Miss going into a tough
environment cannot be trusted here in this spot. Give me
the Sooners plus the points. Three point thirty PM Eastern
number fifteen Missouri catching two and a half at number
ten Vanderbilt fifty two and a half. Marco Diego Pavia
looking like maybe everybody wants to give him the Heisman.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both teams come in at six and one, Kelly,
And who would have thought that Missouri and Vanderbilt in
the SEC sitting at six and one and both are
coming off bounce back wins last week? Is the each
suffered their first loss in their previous game. Ironically, that
first loss for these two teams both came against the
same team, Alabama. Vandy's been the bigger surprise to me.
Sitting at six and one. They've got an offense, Kelly,
that's the real deal. They're scoring thirty one or more
points in every game but won this season. But I
got to look at the scheduling spot here. After playing
Alabama and LSU in back to back weeks and having
Texas on deck, you know what that.
Speaker 4: Kind of makes this game?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a big sandwich spot, even though they're
playing another ranked team. When you say the teams that
I just said, Alabama, LSU, and Texas, those are all
the blue bloods of college football. Missouri's not there yet.
I think this is a bad spot for them. And
then I look at this Missouri team. They were able
to come from behind and beat Auburn in overtime last week.
Zori came out flat like I thought they would. Full disclosure.
I had Auburn in that game last week. It was
a client play, and you know, after the gut wrenching
lost to Alabama, I didn't think they would play their
best last week, and they didn't, but they still found
a way to win that game. When teams do that,
that tells me they're very good team whenever they can
weather the storm early and find a way to win
it late. Missouri allows just seventeen points a game on average.
Give me the better defense getting points, you know, the
drill against the team in a bad scheduling spot. Yeah,
I'll go with Missouri twenty seven twenty three. Let's call
it with the Missouri Tigers all right.
Speaker 2: In the late night special at least here on the
East Coast seven thirty pm Eastern, Number three Texas A
and M headed to LSU as a two and a
half point favorite forty seven and a half VR. You
have been crushing these top twenty five games. I don't
think you've missed one all season long. Give me the
winner here in Death Valley.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and real quickly right now. Nineteen and five on.
Speaker 6: The bet on college football, six and two on the Dogs,
five and three on Best Bets, eight to no.
Speaker 5: On the TV games.
Speaker 6: Getting a lot of pushback when I go against some
of these undefeated teams, even being called out. Do I
even watch college football? When I talked about Texas being
better than Oklahoma, when I talked about Texas Tech given
too many points. I trust my power ratings. That's the
bottom line. I'm not going to waste your time talking
handicap and x's and o's and player names.
Speaker 5: And all that nonsense.
Speaker 6: Here's the bottom line on why I like LSU, the
same reason I'm up over one hundred units in college
football and sitting at number one in profit and why
we won nine of the ten weeks. It's because some
of these teams are ranked based on nothing more than
the record. But you gotta look a strength of schedule.
And here's what I'm talking about. Texas A and M
is ranked the number three team in the country. They're
not even in my top ten power rating wise. So
as of right now, I could name eleven twelve teams
that would be favored over Texas A and M on
a neutral field.
Speaker 5: That's the bottom line.
Speaker 6: It's simply taking advantage of an inefficient number that's based
on the market narrative of Texas A and M being
undefeated is the much better team. But I'll take the
defense of LSU, which is top ten inefficiency. I'll take
the fact that LSU is a top fifteen team and
barely in the top twenty as far as rankings go,
and I'll fade this Texas A and M team that's
not even in my top ten and yet their ranked
number three. That's the handicap right now, overvalued versus undervalued,
over ranked verst under ranked. It doesn't get any simpler
than that. We're gonna take LSU. It's going to be
a public side. Rest the shore. LSU catching points at
home where they're undefeated will be a public side.
Speaker 5: I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 4: Give me.
Speaker 6: LSU will take the points. Of course, they're going to
win the game on the money line.
Speaker 5: But I like LSU.
Speaker 2: I like ls You all right, plus one twenty five
there on the money line here on Wednesday afternoon. If
you are, we're gonna kick it right back to you
because you've gotta go to the steam now on Sunday mornings.
Speaker 1: Excuse me on Saturday mornings. This is the College Football Show.
Speaker 2: You join me and you give me all of that
last minute college football steam. Let's hear what we got,
what you guys are seeing early in the week, and
we'll keep.
Speaker 1: An eye on it between now and Saturday.
Speaker 4: Because there's so much.
Speaker 6: What I'm trying to do is I'm gonna I narrow
down the top more legit moves as of Wednesday. That's
what I'm gonna start doing, and we're gonna stick the
sides because there's a lot of manipulation, a lot of
middles with the totals. I already shared that the totals
get officially hit on Thursdays. So if you want your
aunt's logic screen tomorrow, you'll get all the information you
need there. You should have your leans already lined up.
Once you start seeing the move in your direction, don't
wait fire. That's what I do now.
Speaker 4: No weekday games.
Speaker 6: We're gonna start right into Saturday. I had to take
a shower right before the show, so I didn't have time.
Speaker 5: To do the hair yet. But see if it's it's real,
it's real.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: Here we go, start off one twenty one Akron.
Speaker 5: Here's what I like.
Speaker 6: We saw a lot of things get dummy down. They
got cal I've been called out on the chat that
this isn't real.
Speaker 4: There's beautiful.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm keep myself muted when I'm not on
the screen.
Speaker 5: This isn't mine, how and I'm.
Speaker 1: Probably fifteen years your fifties.
Speaker 6: If you find yourself with this kind of hair, you
should be very, very lucky and grateful. So let's get
back to college football. Steams Mark, is it easy. He's
got it easy for years. That's that's the smartest move.
That's the smartest destroy all right, now, we saw a
couple of games. Is what I like when they get
dummied down. Remember, the limits are very low when they
first opened up. Not all the books even put up
lines till the next day. So those that have the
guts to oh start a market, they take small limits
because you know they don't have the confidence in their
numbers early on. And we saw that happen with Akron,
that got dummied up and then bam hit at Akron
plus eleven, Akron plus ten and a half, Akron plus ten.
Same thing happened with Baylor, where the first move looked
like to the favorite half point move upwards. Then that's
when you saw the Baylor money come in at plus
six plus five and a half plus five in the
credit accounts where the limits are higher on screen, they're
Nickels credit accounts.
Speaker 4: It's what you set up with each book.
Speaker 6: Moved down to one forty one NC State plus seven
and a half plus seven key numbers there one fifty
one Ohio minus ten and a half minus eleven.
Speaker 5: I don't like that move.
Speaker 6: I actually liked the dog there, hoping to get dummied
up a lot more, hopefully I could get fourteen there.
Speaker 5: Don't know if it's going to happen.
Speaker 6: One sixty four ODU minus thirteen and a half, one
sixty six Iowa minus seven and a half minus eight
eight minus eight and a half. Already seeing public money
the other way. One seventy two New Mexico minus the
two minus the two and a half. Same thing with
San Diego State. That's why it's up to Night's key
numbers san Diego State minus two minus two and a half,
and finally another one. I disagree with Navy minus the fourteen.
Actually liked the dog there and did see a little
dog money. When it got up to that sixteen sixteen
and a half range, I believe I was hoping to
get seventeen. Didn't get there yet. Still have time between
now and Saturday, but that's what we're getting so far. Again,
I'll be on Last Call Saturday to give you the
updated college football information.
Speaker 2: Okay, now that that was a fun segment, Let's get
into my favorite segment, which.
Speaker 1: Is those barking dogs.
Speaker 2: Marco, you have the biggest dog this week, so you
get to go first.
Speaker 3: All right, Kelly, and we're gonna take a look at
Rice plus ten and a half at Connecticut. This is
one of those ones. It's a bad scheduling spot for Connecticut.
They're coming off a big win over Boston College last week. Now,
even though Boston College is having a down year. For
Connecticut to beat Boston College, that's a huge win for them.
Boston College is a team that's less than an hour
and a half away from them, they recruit against them.
This is one of those you know, big brother versus
little brother, and little brother Connecticut beat the shit out
of Boston College big brother last week, so that puts
Connecticut on fat and sassy alert for me. Then you
look at Connecticut and this is a team that they
put up a lot of points, but they don't play
good defense, especially against the run.
Speaker 4: Connecticut has allowed.
Speaker 3: Four of their last five opponents to rush for one
hundred and seventy six or more yards against them. Well,
guess what the one thing that Rice does and they
do it well, that's right, they run the football. They're
averaging two hundred and fifteen yards per game on the ground.
That means you got a fat and SaaS team in
a bad scheduling spot doing going against a team that
does what they do worst the best. That means Rice
is gonna control the line of scrimmage and time of possession.
And that's exactly what you want with an underdog getting points.
It's gonna control time and possession. I'm taking Rice in here,
I'm taking the points in. Yeah, we're gonna go for
the sprinkle. Let's call it twenty eight to twenty seven.
Rice comes out with the victory.
Speaker 1: Rice.
Speaker 2: I know that was on everybody's radar this week, But
that's the best part about the show.
Speaker 1: We bring you guys games you wouldn't even normally be
looking at VR.
Speaker 2: I know we talked about this one during the TV
game with Marco, but you guys are on the same side,
so I let it slide. Because I am not a
Missouri believer. I am not drinking the drink a Wits tea,
but both of you guys are, so I'm gonna let
you have Missouri plus two and a half even though
it's a little teeny tiny dogs.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 6: And the reason I used it kel honestly is because
I really really like it. It's a really really strong play. Otherwise,
I said, I like anti Navy and anti Ohio, both
of those I was looking to fade even though there
was sharp money on Navy and sharp money on Ohio.
I think their phony moves and I actually like the
dog in those. I was going to use one of those,
but this is a lot stronger. This Actually I released
two subscribers as a premium vet of four percent because
I really do think the wrong team's favored. There I
said it. I got that out of the way. Bottom
line is this Vandy right now is the tenth ranked
team in the nation. They're just cracked my top thirty
power rating. Wise, Missouri ranked fifteenth right now in the country.
I got them at sixteen, so they're right where they
should be ranked. It's the over valued Vandy team that
we're going to take advantage off. Both have comparable strength
of schedule. But when you look at the Missouri sign,
I like that they're coming off a nice win against
Auburn on the road. Because it's a back to back
road games. That price is a lot higher than it
should be. That's definitely factored into this number. That's the narrative.
It's very hard obviously in the SEC to win road games,
let alone back the back road games. And on the
flip side of that, you have the recency bias of
a Vanderbilt team that's coming off a big, big win
against LSU that was huge for them. And also they've
been out performing the betting market. But you've seen over
the last three games it's starting to catch up with them.
This is a team that was a dog their first
game of the season, a dog their second game of
the season, a dog the third game of the season.
All of a sudden, the market starts to correct itself.
They're now in the favorites role. I think the wrong
side favored everything as far as power rating wise leans
me on Missouri. I also like that they have the
better defense the twenty if most deficient defense against the
fiftieth most efficient defense, and on the offensive side of
the ball, you have the seventeenth most deficient for Vanderbilt
versus the fifteenth most deficient for Missouri, so they are
more efficient on both sides of the bull stronger power
rated team. The negative again is to back to back
road games, but I think they'll do just fine. Take
the two and a half. We're not gonna need it. Uh,
Missouri's designed there obviously if you're if you're betting it
plus the points, take it up to plus three, up
the minus one twenty six. If you have to lay
more than one twenty six to take a plus two
and a half to plus three, you don't do it.
You take the plus two and a half at minus
one ten. It's a better bet then plus three minus
one twenty seven minus one thirty minus one thirty five.
So there you go, missoo on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Looking at the odd logic screen right now, VR, do
you think the plus one thirty might be a better
bet for them.
Speaker 1: To win the games? Outright?
Speaker 5: Yes? Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 6: I will take the plus one thirty before the two
and a half at minus one ten great, great question. Yeah,
definitely like the plus two plus money because you remember
you're laying the two and a half, you're laying minus
one ten on top of it. So compared to getting
plus one thirty, that's like a forty cent swing. That's
forty cents on every dollar you know that you're betting.
That adds up, you know you're betting a nickel. That's
a two hundred dollars difference. So yeah, I definitely money
line it compared to laying the one ten.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, if you are not a wager Talk
insider yet, let me tell you about it, WT dot Buzz,
backslash Insiders. We're gonna give you early access to everything
wager Talk, particularly here on the wager Talk YouTube channel.
Just two dollars and ninety nine cents a month gets
you early access to things like bet on. It gets
you free access to premium subscriber only events like VR Steamroom,
WT Dot Buzz, backslash Insiders.
Speaker 1: Look, I had four maybe five.
Speaker 2: Dogs that I considered for this segment, and I went
with Houston.
Speaker 1: Look hand up.
Speaker 2: Last week, I was very frustrated with Mississippi State, and
that's why I'm not using them in this spot this
week because they had opportunities to win that football game
and they let us down. So I want a team
that is going to go in as an underdog and
get us the outright win because that is the whole
point of the barking dog segment.
Speaker 1: And that team this week is Houston. Yep, that's right.
Speaker 2: VR gave you guys, Arizona State as the barking dog
last week.
Speaker 1: He and I agreed there. I used him in my
parlay and guess what.
Speaker 2: Twenty six twenty two, they got the home win over
Texas Tech as a seven and a half point underdog.
Now this week they're on upset alert as a seven
and a half point favorite. Houston held off Arizona State's
little brother last week and sitting in the Big twelve
with just one loss. They're now six and one overall,
five and two against the spread. Their only loss is
a Texas Tech. And Marco tells you fake handicapper math
all the time. Well, this team lost to this team,
and this team beat that team, so A plus B
might equal.
Speaker 1: See, that's not exactly how it works here, boys and girls.
I think there is.
Speaker 2: Too many points for two teams who have not met
since nineteen ninety right, Arizona State new to the Big twelve,
and keep in mind this Houston team has made leaps
and bounds. Yes, Arizona State only lost to Utah when
Sam Lovitt was out. But Sam Levitt is good as
we think right now, sixty eighth in passing efficiency. I
don't think he won that football game for his team
last week, even though everybody might argue he did not
to mention wide receiver Jordan Tyson pull the hamstring there.
I expect another low scoring game making points at a premium.
I like Houston plus seven and a half, and I
like Houston on the money line. Marco DiAngelo I mentioned
to start the show that the Deli is just cruising
right along regardless of what the common section says, which
is really funny because I think you guys are kind
of ungrateful, and I think maybe all of you, Oh
Mark on apology, I got his record right here.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me pull it up.
Speaker 2: Twenty one and thirteen. That is sixty one point seven
percent here on the season.
Speaker 3: For free Kelly to point out that that is the
bonus show, Marco's Deli that we do one Thursday, and
then it is included in the Mega Show, So you've
got to tune in to the other show. You're gonna
get five more games every week. We release it every
Thursday Marco's Deli. We've had seven episodes this season, five
winning weeks, one losing week, and one two two in
one week twenty one and thirteen, and it's been four
college plays, one NFL game. The NFL game is six
and one on the season. If you're not tuning in,
you're missing out. And as Kelly said, you know, be
an insider and you'll get all of these shows early
as well. That's another way to go if you're a
Wager Talk insider. She'll tell you more about that later
in the show. But Sandwich game for this week, Kelly,
We've got a Deli special. This one, I think we
might say is a foot long one. Look at wake
Forest as they play SMU this week. You've got SMU
coming off playing Clemson last week. They win on the
road at Clemson. Great win for them. Now they play
wake Forest, but look at who they got next week.
They got Miami in their house. Now we know Miami
lost last week, but still Miami's one of the top
teams in the country in the ranking. So talk about
a sandwich. You just beat Clemson, who's been the perennial
ACC powerhouse for how many years? And oh, by the way,
do you remember that that also was a big revenge
game for SMU who beat them in the ACC Championship
game last year? Yeah, that was Clemson. Now you got
Miami on deck and now you're gonna play wake Forest.
How do you stay focus for this one? I'm looking
for them on fat and sassy alert for sure. And
you've got to go back out on the road for
a second week in a row. We know that is tough.
And then they're not only going out on the road
second week in a row, but they're going from an
underdog that won outright to now a favorite. You know
that's a situation. We don't like to back those type
of teams. I'm gonna look to the underdog. Wake Forest
is four and two. Their two losses came in back
to back games. They lost at home to NC State
when they were minus two in turnovers. Then they had
a one point loss as a thirteen and a half
point underdog at Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4: No shame there.
Speaker 3: They've had two weeks to prepare for this game, so
giving them another added edge. You've got a team that's filling,
fat and sassy. Second week in a row on the road,
big game on deck. Go ahead, give me wake Forest
this week. Upset alert, Wake Forest. He won twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Ooh, I love a good upset alert.
Speaker 2: One of the teams that I thought was maybe gonna
upset VR was Minnesota. And then I log in and
I see that you are on Iowa as your best bet.
Before you get into why you like the Hawkeyes as
a favorite, which is one of the more terrifying bets
that you could possibly make. Please let everybody know what
you've got going on over at wager talk dot com.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, we're excited about the weekend college football coming
up a Saturday and Sunday NFL. Of course those packages
up and ready and gonna fire a five percent this week,
coming off back to back two and zero five percent
winners in the NFL, and like this card listen again.
Number one in college football right now, number one combined
NFL college football regular season has been phenomenal for the NFL.
Coming off of a losing week, we bounced back to
huge off the losing week in college football or only one.
So again, man, just jump on board. Now through the bowl.
Game's going to continue doing damage, especially now we got
college basketball as well coming. NBA is here, NHL is here.
It's a great time to jump on board. Got action
every day doing very well. So head on over to
wageytalk dot com and again Saturday package, Sunday package with
five percent big moves involved.
Speaker 2: All right, tell me why I have to lay points
with Kirk Farns even though the Gophers did me so
right last Friday night.
Speaker 6: Kel if this wasn't a move a line that was
going to move significantly off of what I bet it,
I would have fired a five percent on this. It
sets up that nicely, I was just such such the
better team. Like a lot has to go wrong again
in a sixty minute football game, there's a lot of
randomness involve A ref could blow a call, you could
have a fumble ran back the other way. For like,
there's so much that could go wrong that you can't predict.
But all we could do is place good bets.
Speaker 5: And I sent out.
Speaker 6: Iowa minus eight to my subscribers at eight and a half.
It was worth buying a half a point down because
I expected this one to get up to nine nine
and a half range. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes
off at ten. Because of that discrepancy is the only
reason this isn't a five percent. Because I didn't want
the girls at wager Talk to get plastered with NonStop
emails asking.
Speaker 4: What do I do? What do I do?
Speaker 5: He gave out eight.
Speaker 6: Eight and a half, it's now nine nine and a half.
I didn't want that headache. But on paper, here's what
we know. Neither of these teams are ranked. But if
you dig a little deeper, you'll notice Minnesota is actually
getting votes. They're getting votes in the rankings, so they
really want to put them at the crack that twenty five. Well,
here's the bottom line. They're not even in my top
forty as far as power rating wise, that's Minnesota right now.
In fact, they're five and two with a point differential
of plus fifty five.
Speaker 5: Iowa was five and two also.
Speaker 6: With a point differential of plus one oh seven, So
they have a double point differential with the exact same record.
Tells you Minnesota's gotten lucky in some of the close games.
Then we look at strength of schedule. Iowa twenty seventh
toughest schedule already in college football Top thirty, Minnesota sixty second,
so they're not even in the top sixty as far
as strength of schedule goes.
Speaker 5: That's why they're five and two.
Speaker 6: As the strength of schedule gets harder, the truth comes out.
We saw it with Oklahoma, we saw it with Texas Tech.
Speaker 5: We're gonna see it with Texas A and M.
Speaker 6: We're gonna see it with Georgia Tech, rest assured, and
we're gonna see it with Minnesota.
Speaker 5: That'll never crack that top twenty five.
Speaker 6: Why because they have the sixty eighth sixty eighth most
efficient offense followed by the twenty sixth most efficient defense.
That's pretty good, right, twenty sixth most efficient defense, while
this week they're going up against the eleventh most efficient defense.
That's right, The sixty eighth most efficient offense is going
up against the eleventh most efficient defense. And did I
add you see what the splits are from Minnesota?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 6: They're five and zero at home, zero to two on
the road. So this is a team that has a
strong home field advantage. They're not playing at home this week.
They're back on the road again, where they haven't done
all that, well, you could lay ten comfortably here with Iowa.
They blow this team out by three touchdowns. The only
question about the total is how many points will Minnesota
be able to put up against this Iowa number eleven defense?
Speaker 5: Not many.
Speaker 6: That's why I lean under as well Iowa in a
one sided route, lay the points best bet.
Speaker 2: All right, right now over at wager Talk, I'm gonna
give you guys a little secret. You already missed it,
but I asked Johnny Detroit.
Speaker 1: To bring it back for this show.

Speaker 1: All access subscriptions.
Speaker 2: Marco D'Angelo, I just submitted my parlay to John Murray
over at the West Gate, and I should have looked
to see what you were on, but we're I had
to head this week, So maybe I need to send
him a text and say, wait, John Murray, don't put
that Northwestern playoff just yet.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, first of all, all I know is
both you and VR are trolleding me this week. I
got to sit there and watch Kelly do this tour
here all the time, and then I got VR and
I got nothing here. Okay, it's just not right day,
you know, guys, are I'm gonna get a complex here?
Speaker 4: But all right, let's go two best bets. Anyways. Okay,
I'm good.
Speaker 3: I've got Nebraska here, and you know there's no question
Nebraska late a complete egg glass Friday night in Minnesota.
And to be honest, it was a tough scheduling spot
for them. A couple of things working against them. They
had to play back to back road games. Remember two
weeks ago they won on the road in a very
entertaining game and went back and forth them and Maryland.
They pulled off the win in Maryland, high scoring game.
Then they had to come right back and play a
second week in.
Speaker 4: A row on the road.
Speaker 3: Little note, Nebraska hadn't won back to back road games
since two thousand and six, and that streak is still intact.
Because they lost last week, not only did they have
to play a second week in a row on the road,
they had to come back and do it on a
short week. We talk about it all the time, these
home field games on the week day games. Teams that
are playing another team on a short week that didn't
have a buye before these weekday games, it's a huge
advantage for the home team. I give the home team
a more of a home field advantage on the weeknight games,
just as I do on a Saturday night game versus
a Saturday day game. It's just a different atmosphere. Then
let's throw in the intangible for last week, He's had
the James Franklin firing at Penn State and all the
rumors have Matt Ruhle as being one of the leading
candidates that Penn State would want to replace James Franklin.
He said all the right things in the interviews. He's
happy at Nebraska. You know they're building something there. That's
what a coach is supposed to say. How many times
have you seen coaches say that, say that, and then
as soon as the season ends they sign a contract
with another team. It had to be a distraction last week.
I'm not saying he's going to Penn State, but it
was still there and the players to be distracted. Now
they're coming home, they've got to get refocused to save
the season that they have. They have a good defense,
they've got an offense, and they've got a quarterback that
is electric in Riyola. I look for them to get
back at home and play a good home game against
a team in this spot that you look at. You
know what's been going on with the games. I like
Nebraska to be able to score and score in this game.
I've got them. They've got the best offensive numbers in
this game. They've got the better defensive numbers in this game.
And you've got a Northwestern team that's coming off two
weeks ago beating Penn State. A lot of people stepped
in front of them last week thinking that they were
going to be flat. Last week, Well, they returned home,
they got another win against Purdue, winning in a nineteen
to nothing shut out. Now they're coming off too dominating games,
going on a road, getting a touchdown that looks too easy.
You know, I don't take the games that look too easy.
I think Nebraska shuts them down. I think Northwestern this
is one of those by low on Nebraska getting them
where the market is just too high on Northwestern. Let's
lay the points with Nebraska. I'm gonna call it thirty
four to twenty. Nebraska gets the win.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Marco texted me last night at like eleven PM and
goes talk me off the Jayhawks. And now, normally this
is a spot where I give you guys out another
barking dog, if you will, or at least one from
my parlay. Unfortunately, the Kansas State Wildcats are only catching
two and a half here in Lawrence, and it's the
first time they've been catching points since Ron Prince was
the head coach and I had just graduated from college
in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: Yes, both teams.
Speaker 2: Are coming off by weeks, but Kansas State has won
the last sixteen, the last sixteen, so let's talk about
the loss in Dublin, the loss to Army, the loss
to Arizona, and what has k State done since then?
That's right, They've rattled off some nice wins and they
headed into their bye week.
Speaker 1: Let's see what KU's done this year.
Speaker 2: Well, we took them with points versus Miszoo and they
squandered away that win.
Speaker 1: Then we bet.
Speaker 2: Against them on the road and the only reason why
they got the win in the balance house is because
they knocked trey Von Jackson out of the game with injury.
Then they got blown out by Texas Tech. What am
I missing here? I think motivation focus, understanding that they're
an underdog. The Wildcats should be able to get that
trophy for the seventeenth straight year. I don't understand this line.
I made it k State minus five. K State has
the better rushing attack, they have the better offensive line,
and of course they're gonna travel well, the game is
an hour east and oh, by the way, KAYU still
hasn't sold out tickets to that brand new soccer stadium
they keep telling everybody about.
Speaker 1: So gimme k State plus two and a half.
Speaker 2: Marco DiAngelo, I hope that was enough information to keep
you off the Jayhawks. I'll tell you this too. Living
in Florida, I only have access to one app. They
move in KU to three. Right now, it's sitting two
and a half minus one thirty at the hard Rock
I find that very very interesting. The whole world wants
the lay points with the Jayhawks, and I don't understand it.
