Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is Friday. It is time
for full court press. Another parlay winner. Yesterday on the show,
we got the good number on the show with Jackson
State that got there as they lost by seven, and
then Rob Bino got us home. Rob was what was
your parlay leg? Why can't I remember this? I remember
like five?
Speaker 2: It was William and Mary team totally William Mary. That's right.
Speaker 1: For some reason, I had it in my head that
it was it was Murray State because we also talked
about that, which also won. So a lot of winners
given out on the show yesterday, talked about that Manhattan
number maybe being too big that one. So yeah, that
the frustration for me continues because I come on here
talk about all these games that win, and then the
ones I'm actually getting to the window with for clients
are not winning. So that's that's very very frustrating. Kind
of had got word that Temple was going to be
without three players last night already like Davidson, and it
did it didn't. They got out played start to finish.
So yeah, we'll keep plugging away. That's what you're here
for is opinions. We've got them, an hour worth of them.
And hopefully we'll find some winners and then hopefully for
my clients some of those will translate to actual client
play winners, because that's where we're at right now. We're
just trying to We're just trying to win, Betts, Robin,
We're gonna start the feature game today. I got to
I went to this matchup, so not where it is tonight.
Of course, the feature game today is gonna be Villanova
Wisconsin out at five serve form, so kind of a
neutral floor. Obviously it's gonna be pro Wisconsin, but that's
Marquette's home floor.
Speaker 3: It's not in Madison where Wisconsin plays.
Speaker 1: But what I was gonna say, Rob, is I actually
got to see this game back in twenty seventeen as
part of the NCAA tournament out in Buffalo at the
Key Bank Center, where Wisconsin pulled the upset as the
eight seed knocked off number one seeded Villanova. That was
trying to remember who the uh who that maybe Chris
Jenkins was on that team, Oh all right, yeah, I
can't really Josh Hart. Josh Hart would have been on
that team. Ethan Hap was on Wisconsin back then. So
just a little fun fact that was a second round
game out here in Buffalo, New York. Today, Villanova's the
underdog in this matchup to the tables have turned. Villanova
is not what they were back with Jay Wright twenty seventeen,
those Nova teams that eventually won a national championship. But
they have brought in Kevin Willard to restore the greatness
to Villanova. Now here they are kind of on the road,
but it is neutral five ish point underdog against Wisconsin.
Speaker 3: National TV.
Speaker 1: How are you seeing this one Nova Wisconsin in Milwaukee tonight?
Speaker 2: You know, it hasn't been done against the best of competition,
but you have to be impressed through the way Nova's
stacked win and beating the people they should. We now
know very well that if you get smashed by Michigan,
that's not that big of a deal because everybody's getting
smashed by Michigan. But otherwise, the Villanova's schedule and results
under Kevin Willards so far look pretty good as he
brings his team along. We talked about him early on.
I think right off the bat they played BYU we
had that game featured here. It seems to me they've
come a fairly long way in a short period of
time here. Now, Wisconsin, I think what you fear here,
at least if you're me, what you fear here. Betting
side is that Wisconsin has that explosive, flammable, ignitable type
of team where they could go on a run here
and maybe Nova can't get back in. But I'm not
sure that that's going to be the case. And I
try to talk myself out of that because I like
the dog plus the points here numbers go on the
other way, but I still think Nova's capable man for
man to stick with Wisconsin here. Wisconsin, for what it's worth,
not as good a defensive side is what they once wore.
You could almost say they've sacrificed defense for offense. The
new wave of greg guard here, and I think that
benefits Villanova a little bit. When you go through numbers
on these teams, analytics and whatnot, you don't find a
huge group of disparities, Adam, where I could say point
to match up this versus this, that versus that. So
I think we have two teams. I would say Wisconsin's
probably a little higher up in the pecking order of
the Big Ten than Villanova is of the Big East.
And I could be wrong on that because the Big
East isn't as strong a conference this year. But it's
an interesting matchup, Like you say, on a floor that's
not Wisconsin campus. I just think the way Villanova's playing
right now under Willard suggests that they can hang within
this number. I'm not sure Wisconsin can get out and
run away where the total is concerned. You could talk
me into looking over. I didn't play, but I could
look toward over because there is a part of me
that thinks that Nova's going to have to try to
match buckets at some point with Wisconsin. So we'll see.
Blackwell's been tremendous for the Wisconsin side. He's obviously the
guy you're focused on defensively if you're a Villanova. But
I'll take my shot here. I didn't, but on the radio,
I will understand the show. I will I'll take my
shot with Villanova plus the points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in agreement.
Speaker 1: I almost wish we were like I almost wish this
was in Madison and they were giving like the bigger
bump for home court, like you know what I mean,
Like they're the way this is priced. So I'm kind
of making you know, as I make my number here,
my numbers a little bit like my number suggests that
Wisconsin is the right side against this number.
Speaker 3: Okay, Like and that is so here's my thing.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give a huge bump for home court
on a neutral like, even if it's like regionally close.
I I've I've had good sort of you know results
over the years where I don't go crazy like pricing
this like a Wisconsin home game. And I think the
books do that as well, Like even though it's around
the corner, the books are pricing this more like a
neutral court game. If this game was in Madison tonight,
I think you'd be seeing like Wisconsin minus seven something
like that, in which case I'd be much more likely
to take this to seven with Villanova because I just
think those points.
Speaker 3: Are more valuable to get up right around three possessions. Uh.
The problem for me with Villanova.
Speaker 1: Is I really like Willard and I like the way
they're playing. But I came into the season thinking, Okay,
there's there's this roster is a little too mid majorist
for me to like give Villanova, like full marks. Duke
Brennan is not like a great sort of post defender
at this level. You know, some of some of the
guys that they brought in that that were like their
sort of gets in the in the portal, Brennan like
ask you were guys that I didn't think really elevated
the team to being like, Okay, well Nova's back, right,
because of course what we have. What everyone wants to
compare Villanova to is what they were in those last
couple of years under Jay Wright, which they certainly are
not that yet. With that being said, Kevin Willard is
a far better coach than Kyle Neptune, you know, and
what Villanova had in previous years. And I look at
this Villanova team kind of going back to what you're saying,
they play hard, they defend like, I have really no
issue with how they're playing. I do think there's a
little bit of a ceiling with the talent, but in
this case, like I definitely think that they can be
scrappy enough to sort of hang around here with Wisconsin.
Their guards can pressure to Wisconsin guards, and that's the thing.
Speaker 3: If if Villanova's guards.
Speaker 1: Can really d up in this game, I think this
is going to be really hard for Wisconsin to pull away,
which is why I would much rather have like this
game in Madison and catch six and a half or seven,
then have to you know that there's a big difference there.
Four to four and a half is a huge difference
than six and a half seven, and so because my
number suggests that it should be more like six and
a half seven, and it would be if it was
in Madison, I don't know if I want to just
take the five. I think five is the best you
can do out there right now, but again I think
it's the only way I would play it. I don't
think I want to lay here against like this is
like the type of game that Nova could steal. In
my opinion, they could go out and steal this game.
So Nova or pass for me.
Speaker 2: It's interesting, Adam. A couple of points that you made.
The fan base at Pfizer obviously different than the fan
base at home, much like I can compare it to
Yukon when they play at stores, it's a totally different
set of people attending that game than it is when
they play in Hartford. You get more casual, older fans
you'll probably tonight, maybe not as loud, not as helpful.
So obviously the bump is not the same as you
said Wisconsin off of the embarrassing loss could be a
problem here as well. Maybe they're fired up. But I
will say this watching the postgame press conference afterward, and
I think I don't know that we give them enough
credit for this as of yet, but Fred Hoiberg's team
plays pretty good defense and they shut Wisconsin down that
ninety to sixty game, and Heiberg commented on it afterwards
about how they've been, you know since rank Mass came
back a much better defensive team. So Villanova kind of
fits that bill, as you mentioned, as a team that
can pressure. And the last thing I'll say here real
quick is that it does come down to a battle
of tempos. Obviously, Villanova wants to be very methodical and
Wisconsin would like to speed it up. I always say
I think the home team can have their way for
better than fifty percent end of the time, but in
this instance, I'm not so sure. Villanova has a way
of making you play their type of game. There's a
couple of blowouts on the Wisconsin resume, one being against
Biggie's Providence, which are some is somewhat scary, but Providence
doesn't play anywhere near the style that Villanova plays, so
different Animal different games, styles make matchups. I kind of think,
like you, that Villanova could hang around here, but I'm
not willing to play it.
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on. You know Garth is in
here with the game I want to talk about anyway.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, I'll get to I know we've got a
kid's day eleven am tip. I'll get you. We'll get
that in before eleven o'clock. But let's go to Garth here.
Thank you for the donation. Much appreciated. As always, very
one of the more interesting matchups on the slate tonight,
so definitely deserve some time on the show. I know
he is a Western Kentucky alum and he wants to
hear about Tulsa and Western Kentucky. I'm going off of memory,
but I'm pretty sure if Tulsa doesn't blow that Kansas
State game, which we nailed on this show, Tulsa easily covered,
but they had that game one, and I believe they
gave up like six points in the final forty five seconds.
Speaker 3: I think that's their only loss on the.
Speaker 1: Season, and I just went, yes, they are ten and
one and the one loss was at Manhattan, Kansas and
a game they pretty much had one so incredibly impressive
start to the season for Tulsa.
Speaker 3: Rob Vino here.
Speaker 1: They hit the road to Western Kentucky, and my instant
thought was, just just watching Tulsa the last few times out,
they gotta have a dud coming up at some point.
Speaker 3: The way they play, they can't. You can't.
Speaker 1: I forget what game it was, but we had another
one that we got right where it's like a super
jump shot reliant team was finally going on the road.
I don't remember it was this week. I can't remember
what game it was. But at some point, if you
are if you have to shoot the ball extremely well
to win games, which is what Tulsa has done, like
at some point going on the road is going to
be a problem. The question is is that is Western
Kentucky the problem that that's the question.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: That's you know, we'd have to rely on Garth to
let us know what kind of atmosphere. Uh, but you
know what will be at you know, in this game,
for this game tonight. But I don't think over the years,
West Western Kentucky has been pretty solid at home. He
says he kind of thinks Tulsa might cover the two
and a half. I say they have to shoot it
well to do that, Rob youno. Are they gonna shoot
it good enough on the road again to cover this number?
Speaker 2: Boy, what they've shown us so far would indicate yes,
especially when you just take the analytics piece of this
adam where Tulsa is the number four three point percentage
shooting team in the nation and Western hasn't defended the
three real well. And I think you know a lot
of times, these teams that play rapid fire basketball ninety
four foot open court style. I've said this before, a
lot of times your three point percentage allowed is higher
simply because in games where the court is opened up
in their space everywhere and you're trying to track your
man more to open threes happen. It's just the product
of the system where Western Kentucky is involved that Western
Kentucky is involved in. It doesn't mean they can't defend.
It just means that shot opportunities are going to be
there for Tulsa open looks in this pace game. If
they get open looks, it's obviously a different gym, different rims,
et cetera, et cetera. But boy, oh boy, so far,
so good, as far as they are concerned. I'll say
this about Western their losses. I mean, if there is
such a thing as good losses, it's impressive to only
lose by five to Vanderbilt at this point in time,
I don't care where the game was played. Wasn't neutral
one of the tourneys, and then to come back and
play South Florida at that pace to overtime fairly impressive
as well. So they haven't been beaten by anybody that
they shouldn't have been beaten by, which in my mind
keeps me in a positive mindset where Western Kentucky is concerned.
But I would think this. I just feel like games
played too fast, the game's too widespread. It's not really
a system you want to play against Tulsa because Tulsa's
going to find the open threes and threes count more
than two. And Western actually doesn't shoot either very good.
They are predicated on basically winning the high octane matchup,
and I don't know that Tulsa falls prey to that.
I'm trying just quickly to go through. It's really hard
to find cops to Western Kentucky, and as of this moment,
Tulsa hasn't played one, So you don't even know how
they're going to react to this style of play, which
would put another question market in your mind. If I was,
you know, put to the fire here, Adam, I think
I would lean Tulsa. I kind of don't understand why
people would push this game to the under. Now Garth
is saying he does lean under, but I don't know
which side he is going to be affected by the
other's defense. I probably would push back at that and
say over.
Speaker 1: So I think, see, here's here's the thing. Like I
I think, if you're gonna get an under in this game,
it's gonna be because you finally had the bad shooting
night from Tulsa right that they're they're due to that
They're gonna have one at some point because they have
they have shot just lights out pretty much all season,
and theoretically like this would be the type of game,
the type of environment Western Kentucky. They've they've shown that
they can play. They do have a pretty you know,
over the years, have had a pretty decent home court
edge Friday night like them having to go on the
road like this, I guess, just from a spot standpoint,
my gut says, this is the spot where maybe they
don't just like you know, hit every shot. So that's
I think your your path because you know you're looking
at a number in the one fifties. I mean, if
you get an inefficient, poor shooting night from one team,
you're probably not going over one fifty six.
Speaker 3: Like that's a pretty big total. The you know.
Speaker 1: The the other thing though, like West Western Kentucky, I
feel like they have been a little bit they like
they have a higher ceiling offensively than we've seen so far.
Speaker 3: So like that's it.
Speaker 1: That's what makes this such a tough handicap is I
think there's some offensive regression positive coming for Western Kentucky
and this offense and then and then negative for Tulsa.
But if it doesn't, like I mean, if Tulsa comes
out and they're just hitting shots like you said, I'd
be I'd be a little concerned because I do think
Western Kentucky's gonna be able to score here, I'd be
a little concerned on the total. So again, this was
a That's why I'm glad we got to talk about it.
It's a fascinating game, very good matchup, I think, But
I think you're kind of banking on Tulsa having a
bad shooting night to either hit the under or to
hit Western Kentucky. If they come out and shoot the
ball like they've been shooting it, they're probably gonna win
and cover and again, do what you do, do what
you can do with that. But that's that's gonna be
an interesting game to watch. Okay, I know people are
gonna want to watch this, so let's let's just get
it over with right now. Education Day out in Rob
Veno's neck of the woods, Fairfield, Connecticut, the Pit Center,
home of the Sacred Heart Pioneers. I went to this
game last year. Ears are still ringing from the game
to all kids. They you know, I don't give a
real home court bump for the Education days because these
kids just scream for anything. It's not like they're necessarily
cheering on the home team.
Speaker 3: They just like to yell.
Speaker 1: They go nuts when that one Travis Scott song comes on.
It's that's that's what the kids' days are. So not
a huge bump for home court here for me for
Sacred Heart just because it's Education Day, because these kids
are just gonna yell the whole time. It actually just
creates an atmosphere for both teams. Jim Root brought up
earlier in the week that you know it's tilted towards
the home teams and some of these eleven AM tips.
Speaker 3: Though, yeah, I guess we saw that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't work out for Drexel in the
game I went to, But yesterday Charleston Southern came out
and just absolutely buried North Florida hit the over full.
Things we talked about on this show. Big happening here
for this game. A Quand Hill has been ruled out
for Sacred Heart. Now he's an important player, but he
also missed their last game, and he's also been kind
of playing through injury. So I don't know that I'm
gonna like make as big of an adjustment to the
number as I normally would for him being out because
he hasn't been as effective of late and he didn't
play in their most recent game.
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 1: The problem for me here is I like both of
these teams relative to what the market thinks they are,
So I would have probably leaned Sacred Heart with Anquan Hill.
Without him, I'm less inclined to play Sacred Heart, but
I don't necessarily want to play Dartmouth here. I think
the spread flip from like Sacred Heart minus one and
a half to Dartmouth minus one could be some scoring.
Though there could be some scoring. Dartmouth can light it up.
They shoot the ball better than I think people think
they do, and Sacred Heart doesn't do much on the
defensive end. So I don't know, rob Bino, do you
have a total stake? I can't make hedger tails on
the side here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a difficult side, Adam. For sure. The Rocky
Mountain trip that Dartmouth made probably puts their strength of
schedule in a higher category than what Sacred Heart has
played so far. So I mean you could make the
slight claim Dartmouth is better tested step down in class,
et cetera, et cetera. If you're looking at total here,
the only advance really, I think, Adam, is the one
you just pointed out where Dartmouth is such a good
shooting team and Sacred Heart is such a poor defending
team that you would probably want to isolate that and
look at Dartmouth team total. Both of these teams, because
it's a pick them game, they're both asked to get
to seventy seven in this contest, who do you think
is more likely maybe both get there and to get
to Over they probably both have to get there. But
I think about it to choose which one I would prefer,
would probably be the Dartmouth side to get to seventy
seven points here the early start. Of course, like you say,
Jim Roupe brought it up, this is not that big
of a travel situation. Hanover, New Hampshire to Fairfield, Connecticut.
It's said, you know, car ride. I will say it's
a little bit extensive car ride. If you're sitting in
a car, you're probably gonna drive a little bit to
get the handover. But still it's not one of those
massive road trips, and it's not really an intimidating gym.
Although the whole section Park Avenue, Park Street, I forget
his Sacred Heart's on Park Street. I think all refurbished
very nice nowadays, much like Fairfield. You but I would
probably lean toward Darton team totally. If I had to play.
I don't have to, so I won't, but that's what
the advice. I would leave Darton team total over seventy
six and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's been a couple of times, so
I've i came into the season pretty high on Sacred Heart.
I went as far as to say, I think they
could be like a dark horse in the MAC. And
in typical Sacred Heart fashion, they just they fight a
way to always have injuries. It's been the same thing
the last couple of years where it's like someone's always
out and in this case it's an Quan Hill. But
they are probably one of the deeper teams in the MAC,
where it's like they're one through nine is pretty good.
Anthony Latina is a tremendous coach. The fact that Sacred
Heart has been as I mean, you know, going from
the ny Seed to the MAC is a decent step up.
And I mean he's had his team competitive ever since
they got there. He's been there for like thirteen years now.
Like it's a He's a tremendous coach and this team
has some talent. They got Deshaun Giddens from Florida International.
I believe he's his brother. So Deshaun Giddens was the
best player pretty much for FIU, which was not a
good FIU team, But the last couple of years they
got him to come up to Sacred Heart because his
brother's on the coaching staff, and he's been their best player,
leads the team with fifteen point three points per game.
So it's like, even without Hill, like, Sacred Heart still
can absolutely win this game. But the infuriating thing about
Sacred Heart is they just like I had them and
I won this bet. I played Sacred Heart earlier this
year at Central Connecticut State.
Speaker 3: I cashed. They lost the game rob one o eight
to one.
Speaker 1: Oh six in overtime, and I mean, they just couldn't
be bothered to even put a hand up at any
point in time during that game. Thankfully, they scored one
oh six and we covered like the three and a
half or whatever the number was. But that's the problem
at times. And this Dartmouth team can shoot a little bit,
So I'm kind of with you. I think Dartmouth team
total over is probably the best player to play the
eleven am game because I think dark that's going to
get their points regardless of Sacred Heart does or not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting here, Adam, real quick, you're talking about
shooting regression before from Tulsa and how well they've shot
the basketball. Just combing over the stats here. Kareem Thomas,
backup shooting guard for Dartmouth leads the nation shooting sixty
nine point six percent from three. It's a small sample size,
sixteen of twenty three, but some guys don't hit sixteen
of twenty three in practice. So Dartmouth there's a few
guys on this side that can light it up in
as you mentioned, Sacred Heart just not a good defensive
team at this point in time, So we'll see. He
could turn into somewhat of a tract me high scoring game,
but I would probably isolate the Dartmouth team total. I
think that's the one thing you could depend on in
this instance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kareem Thomas, I think he's he hasn't missed a.
Speaker 3: Three in like three games.
Speaker 1: He's made every single three he's attempted in the in
Dartmouth last three games. So yeah, on fire would be
an understatement, and yeah.
Speaker 3: It should be.
Speaker 1: Hey, at any rate, we got eleven am basketball. It's
gonna be a competitive game. So that's that's awesome. I
love love some daytime hoops, all right. The folks in
the chat, a lot of people talking about Seaton Hall
Providence and this is a big East battle and one
that deserves some time on the show.
Speaker 3: Rob I.
Speaker 1: Again, this is very similar to the first game we
talked about where my handicap. My number is off a
little bit from like my handicaps a Seaton Hall, but
I felt like I should have been maybe getting.
Speaker 3: A couple of more points.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because of where I have Providence home court
rated sometimes, you know, like that's that's one thing you
can count on no matter what. Like this type of
game of Friday Night at what I always will still
call the Dunk I know it's the odd now, but
it'll always be the dunk and Donut Center to me.
Speaker 3: I'll give them a bump for home in a game
like this.
Speaker 1: Coming into the season, I probably would have loved Providence
in this spot at this number. But I gotta be honest,
Providence is probably one of the teams I'm out on
the most. I've come on the show and talked about
maybe the team doesn't get along, and I have good
you know, I have good knowledge that like maybe everyone
doesn't gel on that team from a Providence grad that
I'm friends with that's still very close to the program. Now,
they've got some talent, they still got some really good
offensive players, but I just don't like this Providence team,
and I kind of thought two and a half was
a little low, but the market saying no, that was
probably a good number because now we're looking at Providence
minus one. Shaheen Holloway would say about him when he
has kids that buy into what he wants to do
on the defensive end of the floor, his team's always overachieved,
go back to the Saint Peter's days. If his team
is willing to buy in and defend the way he
wants to defend, those teams always overachieve. That's what we're
seeing on Seaton Hall so far this year. What do
you think rob the Pirates on the road tonight? They're
now only a one point dog, which means they pretty
much have to win to cover. Do you want Seaton
Hall in the spot?
Speaker 2: I'd prefer to have Seaton Hall just off of what
I've seen so far this year, Adam, I mean to
your point about it, and Shaheen Holloway talked about this prior.
I'm trying to look back at the beginning of the season.
The first time we covered Seaton Hall. I guess maybe
it was when they played NC State. I don't think
we talked much about earlier days before that, but Shaheen
Holloway I saw an interview where he was praising his
team's pit bulls style of defense up and down. And
then they come out and they beat NC State, and
they push USC to the limit to very good offensive teams,
and then they destroyed Washington State, and then they shut
down Kansas State. And this defense just continues to show up,
show up, show up, to the point where now they're
the thirteenth rated defensive adjusted team in the country. They
don't allow anything inside the arc. They're fourth in the country,
or excuse me, fifth in the country, only allowing forty
two point four percent inside the arc. Providence. However, it's
what makes this game such a great contrast. Their offense
has been on fire, and Shaheen Holloway commented, here's a
quote from him, they've got five guys on the court
that score at all times. As one of the better
teams in our conference for sure, to go up there
as one of the toughest places to play. Kim English
in response to talking about his team, I'm excited to
watch these guys grow. We believe in this team, even
with some losses. I'm really excited about this conference season.
You know, what if the underclass in the upper class
don't get along. It hasn't showed in the results, right.
They just continue to score points, they continue to win games.
But I'm kind of with the defensive underdog in this case.
I know it's on the road. Defense does travel. I
just think these finesse offensive style teams get out of
sync quicker when the opponent shows you you're not gonna
get what you usually get really easy. We're here all night,
and I think Seaton Hall is always there all night
for forty minutes. I'm sure Holloway has some kind of
locker room address to his team to get them fired
up to be on the road. I just it's not
enough points for me to play. But I do think
Seaton Hall is the team I would prefer in this game.
I just like what I've seen so far against really
high class offensive opponents. I won't say overall opposition, but
I'll say the offenses that they've faced have been really good,
and they've been really good defensively against them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Kim's gonna work out the locker room stuff.
He's a great locker room guy, like I.
Speaker 3: Actually got to I got.
Speaker 1: To meet him very briefly down in the Bahamas a
couple of years ago, was down there for the Bahamar
thing in Providence was one of the teams there, and
like I have no you know, the whole thing came
from the fact that like maybe he you know, the
upperclassmen transfers in, like you know, may like it felt
like they maybe deserve something. And it seems so your
comment what he's saying is I love the freshman I
brought in that. That's translation is what Kim is saying
right there. I want to see them grow. He loves
his the freshman that he's recruited. Because like you got
to understand still, like some of these guys probably still
you know it probably like they they as much as
they like the portal, I'm sure they love like bringing
in their own guys and it's like, hey, like I
found this guy and like these are like my guys.
So I could totally see that being like a thing.
The biggest thing, the the far bigger concern for me here.
Providence plays no defense. The defense has been atrocious, and
Seaton Hall like, if you defend them, they're they're they're
you're you're gonna be able to win because even though
Seaton Hall's play played as good as they've played like it.
If you can lock down their offense, you can beat
Seaton Hall. And I don't know that Providence can do that.
I'm gonna go to the chat. Trevor says, you know,
Bud Clark, Bud Clark, Merrimack, shout out to the MAC Conference.
He was great for Joe Gallo and Merrimack last year.
Feels this team on the floor, he's so good. Yeah,
Like at times last year for Merrimack, he was a
one man show, like they didn't have a ton of
offense and he would He just kind of did everything.
I think he's like the perfect guy for Seaton Hall
offensively on a team that's more defensive orient to have
a guy like Bud Clark has been huge. And to
your point, Rob Shaheen, Holloway is not in the business
of just like going out and giving out compliments that
they're not deserved, because he has also been a guy
that's completely ripped his team when they don't.
Speaker 3: Give the defensive effort.
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago with Kadari Richmond, he felt
like that team should have been so much better and
he would straight up come out and be like, we
just we're just not tough. We just don't want it
like and you know, think about how good of a
player he is, right, and so he's been willing to
call out and when he doesn't have that effort. So
the fact that he is praising their defensive effort should
tell you that they're buying in. And any Shaheen Halloway
team that buys in, I mean, the guy got Saint
Peter's to the Elite eight. I still don't know how
that is humanly possible. But when his teams buy in
on the defensive end, they will always overachieve. So you know,
I lean toward the dog, though I really wish I
was getting a better number. That is an awfully small
number to lay on the road or to get on
the road in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Real quick here, Adam, I'll just throw one last thing in,
because we basically have branded Seaton Hall rightfully, so branded
him as a defensive oriented team. They're five and one
over their team total in the last six games. Tonight's
total for Seaton Hall to seventy five and a half
against a non defensive finesse style Providence team. Seaton Hall
in those six games five and one team total over
they've scored seventy five plus in all of those, so
it's not like they're in the sixties playing these games anymore.
To the comment about Bud Clark and the offensive firepower,
you know, you like to catch these things early in
this business and be a little proactive. But there's potential
for Seaton Hall to get up and over this seventy
five and a half here tonight. It's got a little
bit of juice attached to it. But it's the right opponent.
It probably will be played at the right pace. You'll
get enough chances opportunities. And as I mentioned Seaton Hall,
there's a lot of opponents that they've played in Providence's
offensive weight class and they've done the job against them,
and they's going, I mean, can we correlate k State
the Providence in some fashion? Oh yeah, Case State, you know,
and that case State game, Seaton Hall goes out there
and absolutely rips them seventy eight to sixty seven. So
they held the offense down. They got seventy five plus.
I guess the point is we may have to keep
an eye on the Seaton Hall offense being good enough
to complement the defense.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll move on to this comment. You know,
Tarleton feels so Steve Dukes as Tarlton feels like an
automatic bet today.
Speaker 1: Listen, Tarlton has been very odd this year in terms
of like who they've played, when they've played.
Speaker 3: They got hit with the injuries all at once.
Speaker 1: Now I can tell you that they're as as full
strength as they've been. Deor Johnson came back the other
night against Mississippi Valley State, as did Chris and Paka,
So those were the guys that have been out for
a while now, and Paca barely played. And you know,
Dior played his normal minutes and when Deor Johnson plays
for Tarleton thirty seven minutes. The last couple of games
he's actually played rob he had twenty seven against Mississippi Valley,
he had twenty nine against Rice, thirty three in a
non board game, forty two against Baylor.
Speaker 3: This is, of course, Dior Johnson.
Speaker 1: Who, if he could have kept himself out of trouble,
would probably still be at Pitt or at UCF or
at one of the other ten college he was at
before he ended up at Tarleton. But hey, Billy Clyde
got himself a good one being able to grab him
for the year, and since he's back, that is massive
for Charleton Now fifteen point spreads listen Florida, Florida A
and M is not I mean, they're not totally incapable.
I've caught a couple of their games this year. They
looked I thought they looked great last time out against Jacksonville,
so I actually they They've played Jacksonville twice this year,
and the reason for that is they they played them
in an MTE and they covered as a double digit
dog in that first game, and then they won at
home as an underdog last time out. But like, if
you look at their sort of games that they've played,
you've got the non or you've got the buy games,
which they've gotten smashed in. Everyone thirty point loss to Georgia,
thirty seven point loss to UCF South Florida dropped one
hundred and two on them, so and then they have
the non board games which you have to throw out.
So the problem is the only real comparison to Tarleton
on their schedule is Jacksonville, and they played well against
that team. But I wonder how much of it is
is matchup based. Here they have to go to Stevenville.
It will be a home game for Tarleton. They don't
get many of these against you know, D one schools
in the non conference, So yeah, I guess Steve, I
kind of feel the same way you do. It feels
like Tarleton can kind of name their score here if
they want, and they're healthy, so you know that that's
one where it's like, these fifteen point spreads can be tough.
But my gut is with yours. I kind of think
that they probably roll, and you know, they might not
be getting the full sort of love from the odds
makers because I don't know that anyone really understands that
they're at full strength because they just don't get that.
There's not public you know, it doesn't get publicized like
it does with other teams. So d you are back
in the fact that you played thirty seven minutes earlier
this week against Mississippi Valley is massively encouraging for Tarleton.
Rob since if you have nothing to add there, that's fine.
You could take the floor and throw a game that
you want out. I don't know if you know your
barlay leg.
Speaker 2: You see me just going over some notes here because
I do want to talk about what I would consider
the mid Major game of the night, Adam, and not
just because I'm a homer for Belmont, but Belmont U
Sei is a terrific game tonight out on the West Coast.
And I do have a slight opinion on this one.
But let's just really quick. The difference between the two
teams is obvious right under Russell Turner. Calravine always, well,
I guess always is a strong word. Let's say ninety
nine point nine percent of the time is the best
defensive team in that league. Belmont's going to run into
that tonight. Calurvine has put up really good defensive numbers
so far this year, number two in the country and
effective field goal percentage allowed. Of course, Belmont's a team
that loves to score great three point shooting Tyler Lunblade,
a guy Casey Alexander called the best or shooter he's
ever coached, doing nothing to tarnish that statement by shooting
forty one percent from three. And they've been a juggernaut
offensively this year. And they've had some results here early
that you know, even to me, a guy who roots
for them, had to take a second look at the
way they beat Toledo et cetera, et cetera. Belmont's been there,
but in this game, I thoroughly disagree with the movement
on the total four point move It's just like whenever.
And I noticed this only because I'm always interested in Belmont,
but it seems like the market as soon as Belmont's
on the board, they just bet over knee jerk mechanical reaction.
Bellmont's in the game, it's got to go over. This
game is now up to one forty nine and a half.
I will say this about the Belmont Bruins this year
not noted over the years, you know, two decades worth
when when they were playing in the Bird case for
Rick Bird, etc. They were never known as a good
defensive team. They're playing great defense by Belmont standards. This year.
You got two teams on the floor that can actually defend.
And UCI is not a great shooting team, so I
think Belmont can keep UCI's point total down. I think
Belmont's going to have a difficult time finding the shots
they have found and their offense, Adam, I know there's
times where we can get into x's and oh's of
offense on this show, but the offense that Belmont runs
is almost a joy to watch at times. They do
what they do and they execute it perfectly. But I
just think that this is a team and this is
a weird road trip Nashville to Irvine, not something Belmont
generally does. But I do like this. It gives me
the feel of You'll remember the name of the Saturday.
I can't remember remember when they used to pair strong
mid majors against one another on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: Do I remember? Do I remember? I was Siana when
that was going on. That was Bracketbuster Saturday. That was
the literal like my reason to basically breathe, and they
took it away. It was the best thing ever, Cianna.
I got to go out to Boise one year.
Speaker 3: It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, total, I could do a whole show on why
they should bring that back.
Speaker 2: They should definitely bring that back. This would be like
a bracketbuster game, one of major interests on both sides.
But I'm just gonna wrap it up here quick before
I rambled too much about Belmont and just say that
I think this toad was probably too high. I don't
think these teams get to one fifty tonight, and that's
what they're asked to do unless we see overtime situation,
I think could probably get a Belmont U see I
under one forty nine and a half won't use it
as my Parlag just wanted to bring that game up because,
as you like to say, I think that would deserve
some attention on the show.
Speaker 1: Rob It really does feel like a bracketbuster game. So
the reason they did away with that was the part
of the rule was if so, ESPN would put pick
the matchups, and then the deal was if you got picked,
they would do whatever matchups they wanted, and then you
had to give the team a return game the following year. Okay,
so like Sianna got sent out to Boise one year.
The great part about that was Boise had to come
play US in Albany. It was like a home game
that we probably normally would.
Speaker 3: Not have gotten.
Speaker 1: The reason that you know, it's it's funny you make
that comparison is these two teams played in Nashville last
year at Curb and it was a like if you
were I don't know if you remember that game, but
it was Belmont led like the whole game and then
choked it away, like in the last few minutes where
they had like a big halftime lead, and you see
Irvid came out of nowhere and like stole the game,
just went nuts for like the final like eight minutes
of the game. I pulled up the box score. Belmont
had a fourteen point halftime lead, and I think they
had a pretty big lead at points in the second half.
Irvine went nuts won the game ninety two to eighty four.
Now I'll say this again, I've said it a couple times,
Like I know Jordan who we had on the show,
Jordan Alexander, who's really you know, solid Big West resource.
Speaker 3: For us, likes you see Irvine going forward.
Speaker 1: But like I would argue, and I think he'd probably agree,
like this is not last year's Irvine team. This is
not Bent Luchen, you know, being able to like do
whatever he wants whenever he wants. And of course his
post defense was tremendous. His ability to score whenever you
Irvine needed a.
Speaker 3: Point was so huge.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that that Irvine has fully replaced that.
So the other thing too, rob a kind of a
revenge spot here for Belmont because that was like a
probably a win they felt like they could have against
a very quality opponent that they got sort of ripped
from them right at the end, So you got to
think they want this one a little bit. But how
difficult is it to go all the way out to
Irvine to play this game?
Speaker 3: It does deserve time.
Speaker 1: Very interesting game, man, I lead Irvine on the spot
before I kind of reminded myself of of Belmont having
that game won last year and then losing it right
at the last second.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Definitely gonna be a good one to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and real quick for the audience. Just to put
that last year's game into context here, the first half
of that game was thirty nine to twenty five. Belmont
sixty four total points scored in the first half. Irvine
scored sixty seven by themselves in the second half. Hey,
Irvine doesn't score sixty seven in a game. Sometimes they
got sixty seven and one half. So to your point
about their ridiculously hot shooting, and that was I feel
like Casey Alexander at some point in time has made
the firm decision to where if we're gonna get to
the next level in the MVC, if we're going to
get back into the NCAA tournament, we've got to play
some defense this year, guys, and they've done that. Honestly,
to hold Toledo to seventy four or seventy five is
an accomplishment for Belmont. So we'll see how it goes
this year. I'm looking for the reverse of a high
scoring game, and again that high scoring game, somewhat of
a Fluke Boys sixty seven and half by irvide is
unheard of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is absolutely gonna be one to have an
eye on. Should be a great game, and I'm definitely
looking forward to that one. Listen, Garth, if you're gonna
donate to the show, I'll talk about what I'm gonna
have for dinner later. It's up to you, Like, that's
your call if you're gonna If you're gonna donate, we'll
absolutely talk about it. Garth says, can we talk about
a Saturday game?
Speaker 3: Quick?
Speaker 1: Saint John's Kentucky. Saint John's opens a two and a
half point favorite. That seems like a gift. So I
just got to see Saint John's on Tuesday night. I
went to Carnaseca Arena. In all these years now, I
don't live anywhere near the city. So in all these
years of being a new Yorker. You know, I've lived
in New York my entire life, either Albany or Syracuse area,
and I've been down to the city a million times.
For some reason, Rob, I never made it to Carnasaca
Arena until Tuesday night, so that was that was awesome
for me to finally get down there. I've seen many
many games at the Garden, but that was my first
one at Carnaseca. The reason I bring that is I
got a nice up close look at this Saint John's team.
And my actual takeaway from that game, Rob was I
felt I was more impressed with De Paul than I
was Saint John's. Now, obviously Saint John's won the game.
DePaul covered the big number easily, and it kind of,
I guess, confirmed my sort of like I don't know
if it's suspicion is the right word, but all Saint
John's has been laying these massive numbers and this has
come nowhere near covering them.
Speaker 3: They laid twenty eight and a half.
Speaker 1: To Iona, and even though they won the game, Iona
covered pretty easily. They laid nineteen and a half to
De Paul and even though they won the game, DePaul
was never really in danger of not covering the nineteen
and a half. But the interesting part is then you
see Saint John's in these games where you know they're
either a slight favorite or a dog that tends to
be where I want to back Saint John's because for
whatever reason, I think they're overrated, as I think Saint
John's is overrated as like this elite team. I don't
think this team is elite. I don't think they're as
good as they were for a lot of the season
last year. I certainly don't think they're a top twenty
team nationally, which is where many people wanted to put
them this season. But like they're still pretty good, and
you know, look at the couple of games, right, they
beat Baylor, they knock off Ole Miss as a dog.
Speaker 3: They you know, they asked.
Speaker 1: They lose to Auburn, But like, going back that Alabama game,
I think they if I remember correctly, they led for
a lot of that game and kind of gave it
away at the end. That was a pretty impressive performance
for them. So you're guards saying it's a gift. I
don't know if I would ever use the term gift,
but you know, this game is not at rup right,
it's down in.
Speaker 3: Georgia neutral court. This is kind of where I'd rather
have Saint John's.
Speaker 1: I don't want Saint John's as a nineteen point home favorite,
but I don't mind them as like a small dog
or like a one possession favorite on the neutral. So Garth,
I'm inclined to agree with you, but I want to
see what Rob has to say about this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to stand in that corner too here, Adam,
and I think a lot of that has to do.
And it's funny. We've been talking about coaches all week
long that have no problem, you know, getting in front
of the microphone and throwing their team under the bus.
Rick Patino, somehow we left out of that conversation. He doesn't.
He just think back to a couple of years ago
at the end of the year when he's being interviewed,
and he said, I knew in the summer we weren't
any good.
Speaker 1: So I think it the least enjoyable experience of my career,
he said at one point a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: So he is, and I think that in these high
profile games, he has a lot to do with their performance.
I think he gets the most out of his guys.
I'm going to speak from the Kentucky side here just
for a minute, though, because remember I don't know. A
couple of weeks ago, we're talking about Kentucky and the
Mark Pope quotes, and Mark Pope stands in front of
the press and said, we got a real problem here.
I'm gonna weed it out. We're gonna clean it up,
We're gonna get it right. He was basically saying that
his players were effortless, and it was he blamed it
on himself without naming Kentucky player names. But he said
he was going to straighten it. It didn't happen right away.
Now the problem is what to make of the win
against Indiana. Is it a sign that Mark Pope has
the team heading in the right direction or is it
just a sign that they won a game at home
against Indiana. And I'm inclined to believe that. I need
to see it more than one time before I believe
that Kentucky is that team. Key match up here Saint John's,
of course, we know, loves to turn teams over. Kentucky's
got pretty good ball handlers. They don't turn it over much.
But again, if I'm looking for toughness. If I'm looking
for a team that's going to get under the other
team's skin in this particular game on a neutral in
front of a big audience, then I want Saint John's
and I want Patino as the head coach over Pope,
so I would probably need towards Saint John's as well.
They're a little bit better shot makers than they were
last year because last year they couldn't throw it in
the ocean. And that doesn't mean that they're great this year,
but they do enough to cover a two and a
half point number, So we'll see where that number goes to.
But I would say at this point in time, i'd
be at Saint John's.
Speaker 1: Remember yesterday how I told you that, Like there's certain people,
like I was talking about some of my like city buddies,
Like if they can say something that I could not say,
like it would come out so wrong if it came
out of my mouth. But there's just something about this
like North Jersey, if you've got that like sort of
NYC like Italian accent, like you can get away with
saying a lot, like you know, And Patino is that guy.
Speaker 3: Like yesterday, He's he's.
Speaker 1: Going on or when his last press conference, I think
after the DePaul game he's going on. He must have
went on and on about he's like, listen, if Bryce
Hopkins was just a completely different human being, he'd be
like one of the best players in the country. But
like he's got to be a good, depletely different human
because you know, I mean, like the most backhanded compliment
ever and like, listen, Bryce Hopkins is really good. But
what he was essentially saying was like he's got to
like be a man, Like he gets pushed around out
there a little bit. He's got to take over and
really assert himself and he's not doing that. And like
but like Patino says it, and you're like, yeah, yeah,
that that makes sense. But like anyone else said that,
they'd be like, man, that was kind of me. Like
he just came out and you know, and he does
and he went through like his whole roster. He went
through his whole roster, and it was like, well, if
I think he talked if Zoobie had the like a
jump shot, he'd be a great player, right, He basically
said he can't shoot, and yet Patino can do it
and get results.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think you're onto something.
Speaker 2: Then you know it's so true because growing up forty
five minutes outside of New York City and Connecticut's Fairfield County,
you can say that type of stuff in New York
City because the hardened attitude that goes along with that city.
But you drop those comments somewhere in the Midwest and
you do get hurt feelings or something. So he's the
right guy in the right place, and I think his
team responds to him in these high profile games. I
really do.
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna do one more Saturday game really quick,
because again, you got to get if you're going to
donate to the show, it's very much appreciated, and we're
gonna get to your game. So we'll do this one
and then Rob and I will each close out our
parlay league.
Speaker 3: I think we can do that in ten minutes.
Speaker 1: So Rob, I'll let you kick this one off, he says,
might try my luck as well. North Carolina is a
three and a half point favorite against Ohio State on Saturday.
Is am I wrong for thinking Ohio State can win?
Speaker 3: Out right?
Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit, unc Ohio State, Do
you have an opinion on this one yet?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's wrong at all to think
that Ohio State can win out right. We mentioned the
other day we went through North Carolina in depth about
how maybe Jim was on the show. I don't know
if it was you were Jim Adam, just.
Speaker 1: It was Jim because I was listening as I was
avoiding like three accidents driving through Philly traffic, so I
remember it well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically the evolution of North Carolina as a basketball
team this year to where they run three six elevens
across the front line and it's impossible, not impossible, but
it's much more difficult to get to the rim. They're
not as high as scoring team. They're not the high
flying team that Hubert Davis has had that most UNC
coaches have had in the past, so they're a different style.
That being said, I don't trust them to score, and
I do trust Ohio State to score. I mean, they've
obviously got the players, they've obviously got the ability, and
they've picked up their pace a little bit. I think,
if you you know, it was often said, I mean
it's actually a college basketball adage where fast paced teams
don't like to be pushed tempo wise and in this instance,
I'm going to reverse that because I don't know that
UNC knows how to this particular group doesn't know how
to handle teams that might push back against them, and
I think Ohio State will try it here. If I'm
dependent on buckets, I want the Ohio State starting five.
I don't want the UNC starting five. I get the
defense and the transition, all this stuff. Maybe that leads
you to an underplay, but the question is about side,
and I don't think you're totally off base thinking that
Ohio State could win out right. I certainly think plus
three and a half is.
Speaker 1: A pretty good take with that side, all right, Just
in the interest of time and getting a couple more
games in, I'm gonna move on to I'll give out
a client play here and at some point, I mean,
I guess, like yesterday's did win for us on the
show with Jackson State at the number, it was that
I have a slightly better number than the market on
this one right now, but it's still very much playable.
I took Florida Atlantic tonight out in Moraga, California against
Saint Mary's took them plus.
Speaker 3: Fourteen and a half.
Speaker 1: You can still get a fourteen at Caesars and pretty
much everywhere else you can get thirteen and a half
right now. The reason I like Florida Atlantic is I
think Mikey Lewis may miss this game, and if he
does play, I'm not sure he's one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: So I lost.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend I had Saint Mary's. I played the
money line when it got down to minus one thirty.
They played Boise in one of those neutral court games
that isn't really a neutral.
Speaker 3: The game was in Idaho Falls, so it was kind.
Speaker 1: Of a regional home game for Boise, and I kind
of got shafted in that game by Mikey Lewis getting hurt.
He only played, He tried to play, but he only
played nine minutes.
Speaker 3: He didn't score a single point.
Speaker 1: Anyone that watches Saint Mary's basketball knows that that's not
the norm. Mikey Lewis fifteen point three points per game
for Saint Mary's, you know, the really arguably pro not
arguably I would say he's the best guard on the team.
I would say he's, you know, probably one of Saint
Mary's two to three best players. He is their best
three point shooter from a percentage standpoint forty four point
eight percent from three on the season. If he's at
all compromised here, that's a big issue in my opinion
for Saint Mary's. And I'm saying that because it was
a big issue for them on Sunday against Boise State.
They end up losing a game by one that I
think if he doesn't get hurt, they're winning pretty easily
because again, they had the ball down one with a
chance to win on the last possession, and you know,
if he doesn't get hurt or if he contributes at all,
I think Saint Mary's wins that game. So the other
thing here is like Florida Atlantic was a team I
had kind of circle coming into the season as a
team that I thought would be undervalued in their conference.
They've got some size that can go against Saint Mary's here,
and I do think Saint Mary's gets a little.
Speaker 3: They get a huge bump when they play at home.
Speaker 1: And the thing with Saint Mary's, and I've said this
all year, if you can get them out of a
little bit out of what they want to do, you're
gonna cover big numbers against them. And so there's two
things working in our favor here.
Speaker 3: Tonight.
Speaker 1: One, Florida Atlantic has the big to sort of like
not let Saint Mary's just do whatever they want offensively.
And two if Mikey Lewis does not play, that number
is totally off I say. I say, if he gets
ruled out and it becomes public knowledge, I would say
that number is probably like eleven eleven and a half,
not fourteen and a half. So I'm just asking the
Owls to keep it close. I played Florida Atlantic plus
fourteen and a half three percent play and that will
be my leg of the parlay. Someone says, fade at
him on everything, Yeah, to this point, but I don't
know if you want to do that going forward. I
feel like you've missed your chance to fade me. I
don't think that's smart going forward. I've got to have
a little run in my favor on client plays. So
I will say, Kevin Lee, if you faded me to
this point, go buy like a fucking car or something
or whatever you want, like you're killing it. I don't
know if that's the move going forward. Go ahead, Rob,
what are you going to close out the parlay with?
Speaker 2: I'm going to close up. I'm going to go to
the added board, and you know this, if we get
it right, Adham will close out a five and zero
week with these parlay plays. So let's go back to
what's been working. Team total here Southeast Louisiana at LSU Bay.
You probably could direct me in the right direction here,
but I don't see Keith up there with a post
on this one. But LSU's team total here, Adam, is
eighty three and a half. It just seems excessively low
to me. They've gone over eighty three and a half
seven times this year, and especially when they're facing this
type of opponent, in this caliber of opponent, they've just
piled on the points. Happened to be a big fan
of Deed and Thomas, the XUNLV point guard. The front
line here for LSU has been pretty good. They're off
of a big win against SMU where they scored eighty nine.
Mett McMahon's team has shot the ball extremely well all
season long, number thirty in effective field goal percentage across
the country. A lot of that damage done against teams
like this Southeast Louisiana, and then they did it against
a better team in SMU last time out. But there's
a little bit of state stuff here, which leads me
to believe that on a Friday night, LSU will want
to roll up some points here. It's an offensive minded
team for Southeast Louisiana. Asset is they can turn teams over.
They probably won't turn LSU over negatives against them. They
don't offensive rebound a lot of one and outs, and
they don't shoot the ball whatsoever, and so it's just
going to add to the possession chances for LSU here.
I think they'll get to the foul line quite a
bit better athletes eighty three and a half. I was surprised.
I was thinking more towards the ninety mark. I think
that's where they'll get to. So give me LSU team
total over eighty three and a half tonight against Southeastern Louisiana.
Speaker 1: Love that you've been great with the team totals, and
I fully expect that you get another one home here. Yeah,
we've had a good week with the parlays. We're back
up plus four point zh six units on the season
on these, which is basically just a dollar for every Yeah,
for everyone, dollar if you were to play them equally
equals four dollars and six cents. I apologize for ruining
Tuesday's Parlay from the Car with Maris because you guys
would have hit a two team or on that one.
But you know, I think we're gonna get it home here.
I'm gonna quickly because we don't. I've been told I
don't promo enough on this show, so I will say that,
like football has been awesome for me. As much as
I've struggled to this point in the year in college basketball,
that has not been the case on the gridiron. And
I went to and zero in the NFL again last
weekend five percenter on the bills. I got another five
percenter this weekend. So Rob, it's like, the gambling gods

gonna also make it so you give out plays to

the show and talk about win. But in exchange for that,
we're gonna let you have a good football season. So
