1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks. 2 00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:07,679 If you are new, we always start to show by 3 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:11,599 being transparent. And yesterday we had a winning day, or 4 00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:13,519 at least I had a winning day. I bet the 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,000 under and the Aces game and want and O day 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,399 for myself. So happy with that, VENO, good to be 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,559 back with you. Hopefully you got the window, hopefully stood 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,800 up straight and uh get how did you do for 9 00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:29,559 the rest of the day. 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: Well, I kind of kicked myself for not playing Connecticut, 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,520 but you know, we found out a little late. 12 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: About poor minute. 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just crazy. I was ready to 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,600 pull the trigger early in the day ski and then 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,799 I got the alert that said page was that shoot around. 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,840 So I stopped my write up mid stream and didn't 17 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,880 go ahead and release that Connecticut game. But they did 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,119 win that one. But we both I think we you know, 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640 like you said, we talked come out here, and after 20 00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:05,000 what we talked about yesterday, I did stand up straight, 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,439 did release the under in Las Vegas. Atlanta came through 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:15,200 for US typical playoff style game. So we got paid yesterday. 23 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:16,599 We'll look to get paid again today. 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,799 Speaker 1: Let's do it. We have I know we have three 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,599 in the WNBA. We'll see if we want to talk 26 00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:26,239 a little bit of college football today. I do have 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,840 strong opinions about the weekend games. Maybe can touch on tomorrow. 28 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:33,359 But shout out to the chat rooms ZB Miami reminding 29 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:34,920 everybody to hit the light button on the way in 30 00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:39,000 appreciate that case in the building. Be man. Good to 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,319 see some of the usual suspects. And let's get to it. 32 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:45,640 We'll go in rotation order, or we'll start with six 33 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:50,920 oh one, six oh two mystics. Liberty opened up minus 34 00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:53,280 twelve and a half. Looks like twelve pretty much everywhere. 35 00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,680 Total open one sixty three. It looks like one sixty 36 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:02,040 two and a half. And as far as in injury report, 37 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,760 I see J. C. Sheldon out for Washington for the Liberty, 38 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,879 Natasha Cloud is out Sovly he's out. Sabrina is still 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:18,159 listed here. She is truly questionable man Veno for me, 40 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,240 I mean, the Liberty haven't been playing that good and 41 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,719 especially if you don't know if Sabrina is gonna play, 42 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,840 I mean, even if I know she was in, the 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,840 Liberty haven't been playing good enough for me to lay 44 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:30,719 this anymore. I got caught with them the other day, 45 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:33,560 and I just really want no parts. I think they 46 00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:35,800 have to show us some consistency before we start to 47 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,439 expect them to win by, you know, clear double digits. 48 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:42,280 So I would say Mystics in this situation, both teams 49 00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:45,800 are well rested. Mystics are a little bit more rested 50 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,599 with three days and they haven't played since earlier in 51 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:53,199 the season. But I think twelve is a little bit 52 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,319 too much. What do you think you're Vino. 53 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,439 Speaker 2: Well, I really wanted to get to the Liberty team 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:05,599 total here' ski. My thought process was maybe you were 55 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840 just one game ahead of yourself the other day when 56 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,439 they played Connecticut, because I just feel like, you know, 57 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:13,080 they scored eighty one in that game. Everybody was back. 58 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,360 The total the asking price here was going to be 59 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,080 about eighty eight and a half against Washington. Thought to myself, 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,599 second game with everybody back in, I think Harrison's even 61 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,960 back in tonight off of the concussion protocol, so you 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,719 get easy back. I thought getting to eighty nine would 63 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,599 be a play of mine. And then again, just like 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,639 I talked about earlier, you get the alert late this 65 00:03:37,719 --> 00:03:42,000 morning that Sabrina is now this toe injury may keep 66 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,919 her out of the game, so I stopped in my 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400 tracks here. You know, as possible they could still get 68 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:50,240 to that price, but I don't know that I want 69 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,879 to play it that way anymore. I'm with you, I 70 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:57,159 don't want to lay the number because the defense still 71 00:03:57,159 --> 00:03:59,120 you know, they only be Connecticut by two the other night, 72 00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:02,159 as you mentioned that, the defense still, even with Breonna Stewart, 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,199 didn't look that great. So there's potential for Washington here. 74 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,560 My hesitation with Washington overall is that they are truly 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,039 out of it now. I know we joked a little 76 00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,759 bit a couple of weeks ago or the mystics tanking. 77 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,439 Then they come up with a couple of big wins, 78 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,240 then they go right back and blow back to back 79 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,920 games against Connecticut. Then I think they played a fairly 80 00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,519 solid game last time out. But now they're finished at 81 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,160 sixteen and twenty two. There's really not enough time for them. 82 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,279 I know they're not mathematically eliminated, but for all intended purposes, 83 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,480 they're eliminated here from a playoff spot. So I don't 84 00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,360 know what we're going to get out of Washington at 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,560 this point in time. Could be a lot of experimentation. 86 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,720 Who knows what the head coach's thoughts are as far 87 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:45,160 as minutes are concerned, knowing that they're out of it. 88 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,079 So I don't really like either side. Again, if I 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,160 knew Yenescu was in the game, I would play over 90 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,399 eighty eight and a half thinking that they're going to 91 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,839 get to ninety. It's a team predicated mostly on offense. 92 00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:02,439 They've got so many good offensive players. But you know, 93 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120 we may not know till four minutes before game time again, 94 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:09,399 so who knows, might have to wait it out. Yeah. 95 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: Uh, it's tough dealing with the injury report. But I mean, 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,000 they are playing more games this season, so I'll try 97 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,439 not to get on them too much. But it's making 98 00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:20,439 it tough on the betters. I'll say that for sure. 99 00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:24,800 We'll move it over to the next game. Nobody really 100 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,199 has a strong opinion in the chat for this game either. 101 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120 Next game we have Seattle and Minnesota. It opened up 102 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,920 Minnesota minus seven and a half. It's all the way 103 00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:34,639 up to nine or nine and a half. Total opened 104 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,639 up one sixty three and a half, and I see 105 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:40,240 it as as one sixty five. We'll take a look 106 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,199 at the injuries for Seattle. I don't see anybody for 107 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:50,040 Minnesota only griffing out feedback in the lineup man, she 108 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,000 looked good. It's really hard to put your money against 109 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 the Links. I haven't had success doing that a lot 110 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,920 this season, I'll tell you that, so I try to 111 00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:01,439 stay away from you know, even been thinking about betting 112 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,399 on the other side. But every game the Links are 113 00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:08,000 the better team, they're at home, they're healthy. I mean, 114 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,560 why shouldn't we take the Links here? Rob? 115 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,959 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if I can. Well, you 116 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,399 know what's been okay to try and do is to 117 00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:18,959 go against them first half. They haven't been a great 118 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,079 first half team. And Seattle was out. 119 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: Of the Quarder team too, by the way. 120 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,319 Speaker 2: Yeah they make the second half adjustments, boy, because there's 121 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,800 been games where they were down by sizeable amounts at 122 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,879 halftime and they come back and win big. It just 123 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:38,839 doesn't matter. And I know we questioned last time, you know, 124 00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:40,920 what do they have left to play for? At thirty 125 00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,560 and seven running away with this thing, they're going to 126 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,680 be the number one seed. Why risk anything at this 127 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,240 point in time? But I've said before they're so professional 128 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,879 that team, like they just come out and you know 129 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,439 what you're going to get from them. Each and every time, 130 00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:01,439 lineup is lineup is full again. And I remember saying 131 00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:04,000 to you the other day that I saw Courtney Williams 132 00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:06,639 come out and say, you know, we were a problem, 133 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:11,079 but with feedback, we're a real problem now. And it's 134 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,920 the truth. I just don't know. To me, Seattle's the 135 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:18,920 more motivated team here. Again, it's been a long road trip. 136 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,920 We talked about it the other day, and they got 137 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,639 beat by twenty by Indiana. But they're in a spot 138 00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:28,199 where they've got to have a win here. They're clinging 139 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,319 to that eight spot ahead of the Sparks. I think 140 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:33,800 they'll put up a fight. Ski They've done it before 141 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:36,040 against Minnesota. I mean there's I think there was an 142 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:40,120 instance where they got absolutely pounded, but I do think 143 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,439 there were a couple instances where they played this team 144 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,920 pretty tough. So I'd be hesitant to lay nine points 145 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,759 with Minnesota, but that doesn't mean i'd rush to the 146 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:54,160 window with Seattle either. I looked at the total at 147 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,480 one sixty four, and especially I looked at the Seattle 148 00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,720 team total, thinking that maybe Minnesota's defense could keep them 149 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:04,519 under that number. But seventy seven and a half is 150 00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,480 a low numbers so no play here for me on 151 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,279 either side. I could see it going either way. For 152 00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:15,399 those who got to the window quickly and played Minnesota, 153 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:17,399 I think you're in better shape. Seven and a half 154 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,839 is a lot better than laying nine here in my estimation. 155 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,319 I see I'm looking now as we talk, sketchy at 156 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,399 nine and a half out there. 157 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, some good points made by you. Also in the chat, 158 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:32,639 they're liking it. Jeff b says, took Seattle first half. 159 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000 I hope they bounce back strong early. That's not a 160 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,080 bad look after getting beat by twenty. And what you 161 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240 said about Minnesota is starting slow a little bit there. 162 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Brian's also thinking about it. The problem I have with 163 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,840 Seattle is b Man kind of mentions it here Seattle 164 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,080 eighth row game in ten days, this is their fifth 165 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,519 straight road game, and then two people in the chat 166 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,759 mentioning it. Be Man's one says he needs to put 167 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,799 pull away for MVP and two games for Links to 168 00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:07,679 clinch the number one seed. Casey says, the way the 169 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,879 Aces are playing, she feels like they're playing for fee MVP. 170 00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:17,879 I agree, Mark says Seattle first half as well, Minnesota 171 00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:21,200 third quarter. So everybody's agreeing pretty much with the game 172 00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,000 script for this one. I mean, Seattle first half does 173 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,279 sound appealing, But like I said, then I think about 174 00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:29,919 who they're playing on the other side, and I just 175 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,159 don't want to put my money down anymore. That's how 176 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,120 it makes me feel. So I'm not mad at anybody, 177 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,759 but this is a tough game for me. What about 178 00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,720 the total, I mean, it did go up from one 179 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,320 sixty three and a half to one sixty five. I'm 180 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,200 gonna glance at what the storm we've been doing. I 181 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,720 know they've been playing faster. They're still the number one 182 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,559 paced team in the league. Last five games they are in, 183 00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:57,240 they are that the number four defensive verded team in the 184 00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:01,399 same span. I mean, if they want to play up 185 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,559 tempo with the Lynx, the Lynks will score on any defense. 186 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,679 I could. I could understand the movement with the over 187 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,159 any thust there before we move over. 188 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: Probably know they've got a couple of situations here with 189 00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:21,240 Seattle Ski. I know we talked a little bit about 190 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,360 Malonga coming off the bench. She's been terrific, but she 191 00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:27,279 had an off game her last game. And one more 192 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320 problematic thing for Seattle is ever since they moved Erica 193 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,960 Wheeler back to the bench. She just hasn't been the 194 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,120 same offensive player two for ten the other night. I 195 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,559 don't know if she's been thrown out of rhythm by 196 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,399 not getting the start and the minutes that come with it. 197 00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:45,360 She's getting twenty plus still, but you know, since they 198 00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,080 acquired Britney Sykes, it hasn't been the same for her. 199 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:50,519 So you would think you'd get a couple of bounce 200 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,480 back performances off the bench here for Seattle, which makes 201 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,840 seventy seven and a half look a shade low for 202 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:00,159 their team total, considering the fact that Minnesota's allowed more 203 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,720 than that and four of their last five. But again, 204 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:06,399 it's just not enough to convince me to, as we 205 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,919 say on the show, stand up straight with a play 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,679 on that one. 207 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,039 Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, I'll I'm moving on over to 208 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,360 the next game, and that is gonna look like Chicago 209 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,360 Sky Phoenix Mercury opened up minus twelve and a half 210 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,360 for Phoenix, looks like minus twelve and a half still 211 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,279 right now. Total open one sixty three and that looks 212 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:31,759 like one sixty four and a half as far as 213 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:36,559 an injury report is concerned. Nobody on there for either 214 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:43,320 team here Raveno, the Sky did play that last game, 215 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,279 or let's see, I think they're both my bad here. 216 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:52,399 The Sky they did cover versus ass and they have 217 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,120 the rest advantage in this game. They last played on 218 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,200 the twenty fifth, so two day's rest for them compared 219 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,840 to one for the Mercury. I'll say like this, Rov, 220 00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:06,840 you know, the Sky have been a pretty straightforward team 221 00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:11,960 this year. When Andel Rees and Aero Atkins are playing, 222 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,559 they look a lot better. When they're not playing, they 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,039 look absolutely terrible. When one of them is playing, they 224 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:22,639 look uh, they look okay. I guess they have both 225 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,399 of them in the lineup today. Like I mentioned, the 226 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:31,039 injury report is clean. Phoenix is the better team, clear 227 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,639 as day. But Phoenix has been so inconsistent, they've been 228 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,639 so so iffy. They also need uh how do I say? 229 00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:43,000 They also need a win for the standings though, So 230 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,879 this game is important to win. Do you think it 231 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:49,159 is important enough to win by twelve and a half. 232 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: It's always the question, Red Ski. We're betting against numbers here. 233 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,720 It's easy for us to say Phoenix should win the game. 234 00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:57,240 Will they win by twelve and a half? And I 235 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,720 think to your point about the Sky, They're a way 236 00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,279 better offensive team when Angel Reese is on the floor, 237 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,879 and it generally it's not It hasn't been because of 238 00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:15,919 her shooting or scoring, but it's been because their guards 239 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,320 just don't make plays the way she makes plays as 240 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,399 the point forward. Since they made that switch, when she's 241 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,720 healthy in playing that position, they score better. I looked 242 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:29,159 at over in this game because the Chicago defense has 243 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,840 just been horrendous all season a long, no matter who's 244 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,679 involved on the floor, and Phoenix has that ability to score. 245 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,279 But one thing I'm noticing about Phoenix as the season 246 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,360 grinds down here to the end, is that, you know what, 247 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,360 and it's an easy philosophy, It's kind of easy to 248 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:46,440 say about any team, but I think with Phoenix it 249 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,360 holds really true. When they make threes, they score big. 250 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,240 When they don't make threes, they don't score so big. 251 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,399 I think that goes back to your point about inconsistency 252 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,639 with this team, and I just notice it in recording 253 00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,720 these scores each and every night with them when their 254 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:04,919 three point shooters are on, I think the other night, 255 00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:12,279 oh goodness, gracious, they had a five for seven out 256 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,480 of Sammy wickham uh And when she's going, well, it's 257 00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:21,440 even better, but they just don't always shoot it that way. 258 00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,960 Chicago gives it up from three, so you would think 259 00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:26,960 that Phoenix would be in a good spot here to 260 00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,320 make those shots. I think over is the way I 261 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,639 would look in this game. I wouldn't trust Phoenix to 262 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,919 cover the number. They played four their last five on 263 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,840 the road. It wasn't a true full five game road trip, 264 00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:43,600 but still it's been a little sporadic travel wise for them. 265 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,360 So I think Chicago can score. I think Phoenix can score. 266 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,759 I'd probably look over here. 267 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:53,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't really talk you off of that. Is 268 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,279 he be Miami mentioned Cardoso size will be a problem 269 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,080 in the paint. Yeah, I mean Skuys should be able 270 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,399 to rebound. We'll see if they're able to get some 271 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,440 of those second chance points. But I could see both 272 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,039 teams putting up some points here. And it's when it 273 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,759 gets you over to one sixty four and a half, 274 00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:10,759 you know, I think we have a few minutes still 275 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,440 left here. Let's see if we can mark like the sky 276 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,440 first half. Let's see if we can look at a 277 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,799 little bit of football. I know these aren't the top 278 00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:20,440 top games today, but they're football, and we haven't. We've 279 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,320 been starved for football for a while. So let's see 280 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,279 if we can look at a little something here before 281 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,440 we get out of here. One game I know you 282 00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:33,200 had your eye on is East Carolina and NC State. 283 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:36,360 It it opened up minus twelve and a half and 284 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:39,919 looks like pretty much minus fourteen right now. And there's 285 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,120 a huge move on the total opened up fifty six 286 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,840 and a half. I'm seeing sixty two at I'm seeing 287 00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:52,240 sixty two at like five shops, So I'll say sixty 288 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,879 two is a prevailing number right now. I mean, I 289 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:57,080 know you're an over guy, Robn know about a six 290 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,080 point five and a half. Six point move on the 291 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,519 total is how you're looking to play this one? 292 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: You know, three weeks ago ski on five dollars Tuesday. 293 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,159 This was my first college play that I released the 294 00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:11,159 clients and the number was fifty eight and a half 295 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,080 at the time, and I took it. I took the 296 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,480 play down after two days. I bet it at fifty 297 00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:18,879 eight and a half because I anticipated this kind of move. 298 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,759 I took the play down because I didn't want people 299 00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:25,519 betting that percentage on this play when it moved here, 300 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:28,080 I could recommend it as a free play. I did 301 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,879 so in a wager Talk video. But I'll tell you 302 00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:32,799 why these teams played in the bowl game last year, 303 00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:35,279 very last year. First of all, they're pretty much I 304 00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:39,639 wouldn't say the NC State considers ECU arrival, but ECU, 305 00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:42,799 like the little Brother, loves to play against these in 306 00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,399 state Power five teams North Carolina, North Carolina State, ETCA. 307 00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:49,159 They come to play. They won that Military Bowl twenty 308 00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:52,279 six twenty one, about eight months ago. Scored with a 309 00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,720 minute and a half left in that game. 310 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: Ski. 311 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: There were so many yards it was crazy. The score 312 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,159 is not intive of how much offense there was in 313 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,599 that game. First two drives of the game, NC State 314 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,920 gained one hundred and twenty two yards on two drives 315 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,759 and came away with nothing zero points, which is you 316 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:15,680 don't expect that to happen again. Their next four possessions 317 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,960 they scored twenty one points. 318 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: It was pretty easy. 319 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: ECU. For what it's worth, they had five drives of 320 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,279 over seventy four yards in that game. East Carolina is 321 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,880 a team that's going to go super fast. They made 322 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,799 the coaching change last year midstream and became one of 323 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:36,160 the fastest offenses in the nation and also started winning games. 324 00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:39,000 They're going to do the same thing here tonight. And 325 00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:41,160 I think both of these teams, again, a lot of 326 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,279 the personnel offensively returns for both, So I think you'll 327 00:17:46,319 --> 00:17:49,039 get the same type of offensive performance out of each year. 328 00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:52,240 You may get a different winner in the game, but 329 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,480 I think that what they'll do here is turn those 330 00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:57,920 yards into points. So when I saw they scored forty 331 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,759 seven in the bowl game and had a bunch of 332 00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:04,319 mishaps that prevented them from scoring like sixty five in 333 00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,759 that game, and then this total was fifty eight and 334 00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:09,920 a half, I played it like I said, sixty two. 335 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,000 You have to downgrade the play because you're crossing a 336 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480 bunch of key numbers. Fifty nine is key, sixty one 337 00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:16,839 is key. Now you know thirty eight twenty four is 338 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,519 sixty two. You could land right on it. But I 339 00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:23,440 still think there's enough possibility to just put a little 340 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,160 bit on here and use it as a free play. 341 00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:28,839 ECU n C State over the sixty two if you 342 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,160 can find I don't know, you're probably looking right now. 343 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,559 I thought at one point yesterday it might have gone 344 00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:38,079 down to sixty one and a half, and you can 345 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,400 see one right now as I look at the on screen, 346 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,559 I can see one. If you shop hard enough, maybe 347 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:45,599 you can find it and give yourself sixty two as 348 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,359 a winner. 349 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: Our good stuffrov you know. I'm uh, you know, I'll 350 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,279 take the blame for not going any further in football 351 00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:55,920 today because I have something I have to do, so 352 00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,359 I'm gonna go ahead and set it down at after 353 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,119 that game right there.

Let's zip right over 369 00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:52,519 to the WNBA SKI here for best bet, and I'm 370 00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:55,680 gonna play. So I will say I haven't played yet, 371 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,799 but I will play the Phoenix game over the total 372 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,880 one sixty four and a half. I mean, we talked 373 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,599 about it. There's plenty of reasons why you would like 374 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,920 that play. And I'll also mention something that we didn't mention. 375 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,160 I mean, as an MVP, talk about Collier and Asia 376 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,240 Wilson obviously, but boyle boy, what Alyssa Thomas has done 377 00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:21,279 the last two weeks is amazing. Triple doubles like there 378 00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:25,279 absolutely nothing for her. She's been the backbone of the team. 379 00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:28,599 I think they score here. Chicago's defense hasn't been great, 380 00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:32,440 and I do think with the Sky having a full lineup, 381 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,279 Phoenix can get a little lackadaisical on defense themselves. So 382 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,480 give me over one sixty four and a half his 383 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:39,440 best bet for the show. 384 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,599 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff from mister Raveno, and uh, I 385 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:47,559 be honest, I've only made one bet today and I 386 00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:49,519 can't give it out because it's my five percent play. 387 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,759 So I'm gonna just rock with Raveno. Said, I think 388 00:20:53,799 --> 00:21:00,160 that was a good play right there. Appreciate Youveno. I'm 389 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,000 in Companese games with us.
