Speaker 1: All right, welcome in. It is Friday here. It is
the best betting show ever. Jone Area alongside mister double
r one l Steve Merrill again as the pres still
waiting to be called I think at the senior Poker
tournament in my neck of the woods there, Meryll.
Speaker 2: But last I heard or.
Speaker 1: He checked in with me, texting me something about doing
dinner or something. So I'm guessing things aren't going well
at the table right now, given the fact that that's
not supposed to end until Sunday, and he's already looking
to have dinner on Friday. So I'm thinking things might
not be going well for the old Pres, but things
are going well for us, Merrill. As we've got wild
Card weekend coming up, We've got semifinal game number two.
Gonna be hard pressed to let's face it, that was
a pretty fun game last night for the U and
Old Miss entertaining for the fans. We got another one
here tonight before we get to art this, Caesar, were
you impressed last night with what you saw? Because I
gotta tell you I was impressed with both teams last night,
even in a losing effort for Old Miss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's one of the greatest playoff games ever.
There are four lead changes in the fourth quarter, so
I mean, I don't know how you can't say that
wasn't one of the best playoff games ever. And it
was a semi final game with a lot on the line,
two teams coming off underdog wins, and after eight thousand
round trip miles the last three rounds, Miami a Flard
is now twenty minutes away, twenty miles away from the
championship game, so they're gonna have a semi home field advantage.
They're not gonna have to travel anymore. They've been Warriors.
And I pointed out once again, you know, we talked
about it yesterday. It's amazing to me. Every year in
the NCAA tournament. You can use this in basketball in
three months, teams that everyone thinks don't deserve to get
in always make a run. And VCU did it back
with the first year they had the additional four back
in twenty eleven, VC went all the way to the
final four, and almost every year since, except for just
one or two seasons, one of those first four in
teams make it to the next week, to the round.
To make it to the round of thirty two and
off into the sweet sixteen the following week. And as
much as these committees get picked on, and I pick
on them as much as anybody else, shows they know
what they're doing. Because Miami, Florida, based on the All
State Playoff predictor whatever that is, yeah, are at eleven
percent on December sixth, going into the championship Saturday, a
month ago, eleven percent and the All State Playoff predictor,
and they got in. Everyone thought Notre Dame was gonna
get a Notre Dame was at fifty two percent, and
now Miami's in the finals. So it shows the committee
made the right selection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not they did.
Speaker 1: And of course you'll have the folks that are screaming
for let's get more teams. Yeah there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well, Jim, I will say, as bad as
these teams with the buys have been going one and
seven now, right, I mean, I think if there's ever
a reason to go to sixteen, that's going to do
it sooner, because let's be honest, they don't want I
don't know, they might not mind Miami or All Miss
in there, but they wont Ohio State I know.
Speaker 2: In the NCAA next year.
Speaker 3: They want the blue bloods. So if it really is
a concern, that's going to get him to sixteen quicker
than anything else, and just get rid of the buy.
And I don't know why they don't do it because
one double A football did it for decades. Now they
go to twenty four, so they do the first round
by also, and we did see North Dakota State get
upset as a twenty four point favorite this year against
Illinois State, who made it all the way to the finals.
Speaker 2: What a game.
Speaker 3: Florida's kind of done the same thing, right, the big
upsilikets Oioca. That's the biggest upset we've ever had points
spread wise in this current format.
Speaker 2: Yeh eight.
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State was an eight seed last year,
which was so screwed up to begin with, but the
points and they went all the way, So yeah, it's
you know, maybe more is better here, but maybe don't
take six months off between games that that might help.
Speaker 2: Also their nced double A.
Speaker 1: All right, but we've got wild card weekend on our mind, merrill,
so let's jump in. Let's bring in our good friend
to art to seizear and see what he's got to say.
We'll start in the NFL R tell us where is
the money going as we head into wild Card weekend.
Speaker 4: You know they laid ten with the Rams early got
to as high as eleven, So a little bit of
buyback on Carolina, but we're gonna need Carolina in the game.
I don't think there's any question. Bear's open as a
one point favorite. Now you got Green Bay as a
one and a half point favorite. Chicago will be a
need for us in that game. Bill's games to pick them,
and you know we open bills as high as one
and a half. The market just kind of moved on
that game. But we've now started to see some public
money come in on Buffalo. No surprise there. I think
Buffalo is gonna be very public. This weekend Eagle game
is not only Sharp's end public, this is the game Sharp's.
The public's are together. Sharp's lay three and a half
with Philly. Now it's five and a half, and the
public got in on four and a half. Five now
all the way up to five and a half feels
like we can't write a forty nine er bet Niners
will be a big need. The Sunday night eight game,
Chargers saw a little bit of Sharp money on three
and a half, seen a little bit of New England
money as well at three and a half. This has
seemed pretty good two way action. And then when you
get to that Monday night game, multiple sharp accounts that
we respect to Pittsburgh plus three and a half. You
had mentioned it earlier in the week, Joe that you thought, hey,
people are just gonna come in and bet the home
team getting the three and a half over the hook,
and we have seen that also pretty significant under money
as well, from thirty nine and a half to thirty
eight and a half, and I think that just continues
to go down because it feels like a fourteen to
ten type of game.
Speaker 1: So we got It's interesting too because five and a
half with this Eagles and forty nine ers, it seems
to be the most lopsided of them all because anytime,
really the only game where the pros and the Joe
seemed to be aligned. Here are we five and a
half's no man's land? Art are we expecting late forty
nine or money? I don't think we're gonna get anywhere
near seven?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: What do we always talk about?
Speaker 2: Right? Dead numbers?
Speaker 4: Five, five and a half, These are dead numbers. Now,
if we get to six, probably you think you would
do some San Francisco money, you know, I don't think
that's out of the realm of possibility. I don't think
we're gonna get the seventh seven seventh teams crazy, because
that's a big move from a three and a half opener.
But I'm telling you, we can't run any San Francisco
action on the side. And then and then Philly too,
you know, they're gonna be very popular with the moneyline parlays.
You're gonna have a lot of those money line parlays
this weekend, especially through the college game in there tonight,
and the Eagles are going to be at the top
of the board of teams that are being put in
moneyline parlays.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and then the total interesting too in that game
because we saw initial under money coming in right with
the Eagles and the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Are you getting any buy back, any anything back.
Speaker 1: To the over, because they may be the public may
be on the side with the shops and when it
comes to who's gonna win this game and cover, But
I find it hard to believe we'd be looking at
an under in the public market as well.
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, I mean, you know, we always talk about this.
Publics are gonna come in and probably bet all these
games over because that's what they want to do. But
you know, you start to see in the Philly game,
in the Chicago game, games that might have some weather
where you know, it's just like a preemptive move to say, hey,
let's get on the low end of the total and
almost let's make someone bettest to the over. Yeah, someone
we respect wants to bet betest to the over, then
we'll move. But we like to get ahead of that move.
And you know, if there's forty five sitting out there,
let's go to forty four and a half and see
if anyone wants to bite on that.
Speaker 2: Let's get one more art.
Speaker 1: Is there any indication the rams drop under double digits?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I think because of yeah, I think because of that
early and like I said, we got to eleven in
a sharp account, did take eleven. We're sitting at ten
and a half.
Speaker 2: I can't see us a getting now.
Speaker 4: Could we get back to ten to the opener, That
could happen, but I don't see getting at nine and
a half. Nine and then once we always talk about
if you're at nine and a half. Nine, you're at
dead numbers as well. I think ten's the number.
Speaker 2: Tenner is that.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably where it will land there all together.
All right, So we've got money flowing in wild Card weekend.
We got a semi final tonight here we saw Miami
get it done, much to your chagrin there. Although the game,
I don't think you got too killed on but your
future market you're screwed one way or the other.
Speaker 4: There are one hundred percent. The game was a good
result for us. Miami winning in that fashion was a
good result. But it does not over you know, it does.
We're so overwhelmed in the future book with Miami. Miami
is just such a bad position for us. But you know,
this game is interesting because we opened Indiana four and
we opened a total of forty six and a half.
We've seen the over get bet up to forty eight
and a half. And despite Indiana money, and it's all
public money.
Speaker 2: We've talked for.
Speaker 4: This whole week how public Indiana is. There's been the
reverse line movement of it going down. Wow, despite that money,
it's three and a half. Now we need Oregon in
the game, and we need Oregon because they are out
of the three teams left. Our best result in the
future book, Indiana is a small loser for US. Oregon's
a really nice winner for US. So we're going to
be really pulling for the Ducks here to win these
next two games.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting because we saw I saw the total
go up as high as forty nine and a half
yesterday and it topped out.
Speaker 2: It looks like we had a little bit of buy back.
Speaker 1: We're kind of settling into that forty eight and a half,
but even that is up from what you guys opened
as well, Art, So has it been is that the cutoff?
Like once we get just under fifty we start to
see some buy back with two teams that have already
played one another and feel like the defense is No.
Speaker 2: One and not I.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's got the lowest scoring end of
it here. But what are you seeing with total money
right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean, like we said, Joe, you know, it opened
forty six and a half for us, and we've just
really seen steady climb there. And you're right, I did
see some forty nine and a half smoll guess right,
I think the highest I believe we ever got was
forty nine, and then we just went back to forty
eight and a half. We feel comfortable booking the game
at forty eight and a half. Now listen, in the
next couple hours, could we get a really respected account
that takes over or under, absolutely, then we'll book to
that side.
Speaker 2: For us.
Speaker 4: Our total move really didn't come off any sharp action.
It was just really the you know, the public who's
been betting the over in the market moving that way,
so we just moved with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean basically, the tickets gotta be all
audi over especially and we got it because I think
Miami's total was bet up before kickoff last night fifty
three and a half maybe I even saw a fifty
four at one point, so they were expecting a shootout.
I don't know that we're going to get one of
those here tonight. Look ahead though, for the college football
National Championship with Miami already in whether it's Oregon or
it's Indiana, is Miami a favor it in either of
those spots, or is Miami gonna be the dog you think?
Speaker 4: I think Miami is the dog in both spots. Clearly
to Indiana, it will be the dog. Probably you're talking
on the low end four, maybe the high end five.
In that range probably settles at four and a half. Now,
you know, I've seen look ahead lines that have Oregon
two and a half. I think that's too high. And
now Oregon will get a bump, It will definitely get
a bump by beating Indiana. But to me, that feels
like one one and a half Oregon. And you know,
obviously Miami's playing at home, and Miami's been so wonderful
in this tournament, Like I could see that being a
little bit closer and tighter of a spread. But Indiana
because of the overwhelming public yeah money, India, Indiana is
gonna be that type of four four plus favorite. I
don't think there's any question.
Speaker 1: Is Miami you think or we get that used to
be very public, but are they public still? You think?
Is have we turned you expecting the public to come
out big time for Miami or do you think that, Well,
Indiana will absolutely get all the public money.
Speaker 4: Joe, You're right, Miami is still a name. And you
know that's why we're getting killed these futures because they
were betting them all season. After the Notre Dame when
preseason all that Miami is still name. But this Indiana
story with the coach and the quarterback in Indiana doing
what they haven't done in one hundred and fifty years
of and yeah, the whole thing, like Indiana is as
public of a team as I can remember.
Speaker 2: Crazy, absolutely crazy. Well there you go.
Speaker 1: We got National Championship semifinal coming up here.
Speaker 2: We got wild card weekend.
Speaker 1: Anything college basketball, NBA, NHL related that you saw today.
Speaker 2: Not really.
Speaker 4: I'm such a football mode right now, Joe.
Speaker 2: It's like playoff.
Speaker 4: I'm in like this like tunnel vision of just football
playoff mode. So you know, listen if whenever I do
see stuff, I like to give some stuff out. But
there's really nothing of note today.
Speaker 2: Did you happen to have last night?
Speaker 1: The Bulls and the and the Miami Heat not playing
because of condensation. They couldn't get the damned building to
get rid of it. It's just when they said art
that it was unseasonably warm in fifty five degrees almost
I must spit my drink out. I'm like, you got
and you couldn't get the water off the damn unbelievable
there So, but it should be a fun weekend one
way or the other. Art always a pleasure man. We
do have, of course, a parlay of the day coming up.
Now are we making this NFL today or what are
we gonna do?
Speaker 4: I think we should stick with our theme. Friday should
be NFL and I will give you my NFL pick,
and you know it's a three team pick part parlay,
so I'm gonna give you a money line. I think
the Eagles are gonna roll, so give me the Eagles
on the money line.
Speaker 1: Are right there, you go, Eagles for Art, Steve and
I pressure is on Art the Caesar, always a pleasure man.
We'll get to put it all back together on Monday.
We even have a Monday night game. The pres will
be back. There should be a lot of fun. And
enjoyed the weekend. Art enjoyed the game. Man. We'll see
you again, all right, good stuff as always, Artist Caesar,
and yeah, Mary listen, I mean big weekend here, wild
card weekend. And like Art said, it appears that the
only game that we have total consensus with the Pros
and Joe's is Philadelphia, because that line continues to write
what five five and a half? The total seems to
be coming down a little, which is interesting as some
of the weather reports are coming in, but it appears
that that's the one game where everybody can unite and
agree that the Eagles.
Speaker 2: They're likely going to handle business against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean it opened briefly three and a half and
it's never sniffed that key number of three crossed over
the key number of four, even five, semi key number
now at five and a half as we head into
the weekend, total forty six down to forty four and
a half. As you said, we'll keep it on the rain,
the weather on the East Coast. I know tomorrow on
the East Coast is gonna be in the sixties, but rainy.
And that's Charlotte game Tomorrow, the Carolina game, it's gonna
be almost seventy degrees in the afternoon and Charlotte a
little bit of rain. But we've talked about a lot
about this. You know, we saw the line move also
for Saturday's Bears game from forty six and a half
down to forty four and a half. Yesterday middle of
the day had dropped from forty five and a half
down to forty four and a half. I talk about
this in my two game video for Saturday, they are
calling for snow cold conditions with the snow is supposed
to stop by mid afternoon Saturday. At Chicago. I always
feel like rain and snow Joe are vastly overrated with scoring.
It's almost like the NBA now when these key players
are out, they move the line seven or eight points,
and those teams keep winning out right and covering. It's
just an automatic move for some reason. With weather and
a lot of times the smart groups for the smart
with the sharp groups are trying to get in front
of it and maybe come back and buy back the
other siding middle it. But rain and snow do not
slow down scoring, and we see it this season in
the NFL. We've had a few snow games in the
fifty and sixty range back in December. When does what
you want to keep an eye on? In Chicago, it's
always breezy there, But both Chicago and Carolina and Omar
don't look like it's gonna be anything crazy. And I
haven't checked the most recent updated for Philly, but I
can't imagine it's gonna be too windy there either, wind
and fog Hey, Now, Chicago and Philly have had fog
in the past that can hurt scoring. You can't see
the ball, it's usually a good sign to play the under.
But yeah, rain and snow vastly overrated when it comes
to unders.
Speaker 1: It's so true there we've seen just ask the Bills.
You look at these Bills games anytime it's snowing sideways
and it's not slowing them down from scoring a million
points there. So he did also mention, of course he's
the public love for Buffalo, expecting that to come in
as well, and maybe no more public love than what
we pour art there was talking about how the University
of Miami is. They did very well last night on
that game end game, they did very well the books,
but liability in the future market, it appears the public love.
It's still a big name, the University of Miami. It
appears that they're holding an awful lot of handle right
now on guys that just took that flyer at that
big number for Miami before the season started.
Speaker 2: Maryland.
Speaker 1: Well, here they're on the hook for a lot of
money if Miami actually runs the table and wins the
National Championship. So little public Miami still this day, even
though they haven't won in six thousand years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're gonna be the underdog against either opponent.
In fact, right after the game last night, FanDuel popped
up numbers which are Indiana minus five and a half
Oregon minus two and a half against Miami, and then
as of today on Friday, FanDuel's going to three and
a half plus money with Oregon, whereas DraftKings is still
holding two and a half and five and a half.
So I thought that was interesting. And the total is
also a point higher at DraftKings in both games than
it is at FanDuel. They've got the projected over under
forty four and a half to forty five and a
half on an Indiana matchup, forty six and a half
forty seven and a half in a Miami Oregon matchup.
And of course both those totals pretty reasonable because Miami
has been a great defensive team. But let's not forget
they could be. They could be without three their starting
four defensive becks next week. Two got injured and one
it's gonna likely be suspended the first half because of
the targeting ejection, so we'll have to see how that
plays out here. They don't play until Monday, the following Monday,
a week from this Monday, so we have a lot
of time, still.
Speaker 1: Still got some time, but we still got a game
to play here tonight. Merrill, of course with Indiana. And
you know who's there gonna be is Oregon, gonna advance
is Indiana. It appears that an already mentioned it, Indiana.
A lot of public love coming their way here with this.
We did see this thing go on as high as
four maybe even four and a half earlier in the week,
and then we started to see the Oregon buy back.
It's handled that three and a half, whether or not
against the three I doubt that very much, but I
think what you see is what you get here. The
total is interesting because it got as high as yesterday
forty nine and a half kind of settled back down
to forty eight and a half.
Speaker 2: Whether or not an issue.
Speaker 1: But with two teams that have already seen each other,
are we gonna are we expecting more points than what
we got in the first game here or what do
we think we're gonna do in this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So we had a four footing run of one
of the sharpest global books all week. That's back down
to three and a half, so I never thought we'd
see a three, but circa currently, a Friday afternoon is
dealing a minus three, minus one twenty five in Vegas,
so it doesn't look like the fours are gonna start
showing anytime soon. A little bit of buyback on Oregon.
I still think Indiana is the best team in the country.
As we talked about yesterday, it's very difficult to beat
a Class A team twice in a season. The whole thing.
It's hard to beat teams twice. I don't look into that,
but it is hard to be a Class A team
and rematches in the play else the last few seasons,
the team that lost the first one is five and
one straight up. The only time it didn't work is
when Ole Miss swept to Lane, but they, of course
were a double digit favorite the other games. The team
that won the first game is oh to five. Now,
of course, Indiana was in a tough spot last week
because all teams with that extended by the last two
years with this twelve team format have gone oh to
seven everyone except Indiana. The other teams have gone oh
and seven. Indiana not only buck that tremp, but they
won by thirty five last week. So this is a
really good Hoosier squad.
Speaker 2: They are my.
Speaker 3: Preferred side in this game. Would definitely like it better
if you can get a minus three, which I didn't
think was going to show, but it's starting to show.
As far as the total, these are two really good
defensive teams. And it was around forty six and a
half forty seven earlier in the week. Now that it's
forty eight and a half forty nine, I think there
is some value with the under. Both forty seven and
forty eight are key numbers, so we're getting about a
three to four percent better chance of cashing now Joe
at under forty nine than at forty seven or forty
six and a half, and that's enough to start getting
leaning under here. My concern, of course, is that as
we saw last night, these championship games, often things open up,
and hey, you were spot on by the way. I
was thinking about our conversation after the first quarter when
it was three to nothing and how comical that all
miss scored in the first play of the second to
open that game up. Yeah, second quarter had what was
it twenty seven points? I think there was thirtieth to
a half. Yeah, there were three in the first quarter.
So there again, you know, first quarter under, first half
under might be the best way to attack. And we'll
get the current numbers twenty three, twenty three and a
half of the first half line. There's some twenty four's
out there juiced a little bit to the under. Obviously,
twenty four is a very key number. First quarter that
was ten to the under. Uh, don't disagree with the
first quarter under. Maybe they'd have to probably get to
thirteen or fourteen for you to lose that one, and
we saw three to nothing last time, the game still
went over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: I think the no doubt the public is gonna want
points and will likely bet the the over. But we
only got forty three outs to you know, offensive points
in that first meeting back in October. Don't forget there
was that pick six there that they had in the
game as well. So I don't know how we're getting
to forty nine or more points. I think we're much
closer to the forty five mark than we are the
fifty mark.
Speaker 2: So I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think less points here tonight, not more points in
this one either way. Whoever advances like you guys had said,
gonna be the dog, gonna be the favorite here against
Miami in the National Championship games. So both games, by
the way, Meryl, both give us great headlines no matter
what it is, whether it's.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Chrystal ball versus his.
Speaker 1: Old team and the guy to replay, or if it's
gonna be Signetti.
Speaker 2: Either way, it could be.
Speaker 1: One of the most watched National Championship games we've had
in a very very long time. And there won't be
an Alabama or Georgia or in Ohio state involved in it,
which is kind of crazy.
Speaker 3: Third straight season, there won't be an SEC team in
the finals. Yeah, yes, it's pretty hard to believe because
they are the dominant conference still. But you know in
the ACC has been so down. Oh and now you've
got Miami in the finals. But we've seen this in
recent years. I mean, we saw a phony TCU team
there against Georgia. It must have been four years ago,
because it's been three years now we haven't had one
of the finals. Because I just remember Georgia was one
of the best bets I've ever released in my clients
in thirty years because TCU was a phony. Georgia smoked them,
and then you know, even Notre Dame last year I
thought they were phony and they would regress this season,
they actually had a better season I was expecting. When
they lost the opener in Miami, I was like, here
we go. And then they had the Northern illinoid troubles
they've had and stuff like that. So there again, you know,
everyone's saying Notre Dame was ahead of them, but head
to head has to count for something, and it is
unfortunate that you don't get a home at home because
Miami won by three at home, So that's probably a push,
you know, if you really look at it. But still,
how do you put Notre Dame men over them when
they beat them head to head? Even I have to
kind of say, that's kind of a good tie breaker.
So in that regard, I'm glad to see Miami doing
well since somebody thought they'd deserve to be there. And
it's obviously good for the ACC because that is a
conference both in basketball and football that's started to struggle.
Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame has more of a gripe with
Alabama having gotten into over.
Speaker 2: Them than anything else. I don't think their problem is
with Miami anymore. I think their.
Speaker 1: Problem but always was with Alabama, and boy did that
prove to be an absolute Uh just Dawn.
Speaker 3: And another team that you're probably right to that's probably
the other like bubble team, and they also won a game. Yeah,
granted they didn't look great against Oklahoma, but that's another
team they won a game. And then Indiana Blue the Mounts.
I just keep going back to, like what a bad
spot Indiana was in last week. Yep, that's zero to
seven for everyone else against you know, a bubble team
that historically those teams make the run and do well. Yep,
we'll see though. I mean, Oregon is a really good team.
I right, these are the two best teams remaining. And
I will say, if you're looking to play one of
those advanced lines, DraftKings is still two and a half
Fanduels going up to three and a half plus money.
I think that's some that's a sharp move at Fandel
and it makes a lot of sense. Look at the scenario,
that's a push that that bet is void if Oregon
doesn't win tonight, which probably might not happen. But if
they do win tonight, they're beating what I think is
the best team in the country. Yep, that has to
make you like them a little bit more against a
bang up Miami squad, whereas if Indiana wins by thirty again, yeah,
that line might be six or seven, not five and
a half. But if they struggle, it might be four.
So I think there's a lot of upside playing Oregon
at minus two and a half now, and I think
that's one of the reasons it's going to three and
a half at FanDuel.
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of Indiana fans in Atlanta too
for this one, I can assure you with that, so
they it'll feel like a home game for Indiana here tonight.
Speaker 3: Do you think Oregon travels home if they win? I
guess they do.
Speaker 2: Well in two week, right the nineteenth, So what do.
Speaker 3: We got nine days? Yeah, that's a week from day.
It'd be like ten days total.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, and you sure you sure don't want to
make plans to stay because that'll be the kiss of
death that you don't win tonight. But I would do
and I would have done this because I'm a superstitious weirdo,
but I would like pack just enough clothes for tonight, yeah,
and then plan on stage. So then that way like
you're screwed yourself over. When you win tonight and you're
in a difficult spot, you have to have everything shipped
out there. That's a good problem to have. That's called
an emotional hedge.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of travel too. For Oregon.
Speaker 3: It is all NFL teams usually don't go back when
they do it. They're in this situation.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's inter a lot.
Speaker 3: And there's still out of class, right, they probably aren't
back in school yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my guess is I don't. I'm sure they've made contingencies.
But then again, you don't want to get ahead of
yourself when you're the underdog. But I'd be interesting to
see what they do if the end up winning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean go home, pack a bag and hop
on a plane and come back down to Miami, which
is kind of which is crazy.
Speaker 2: So that's a good point there.
Speaker 1: Well, well, listen, we'll figure it out here tonight in
the second semi final game.
Speaker 2: But we do have, of course, a parlay of the
day here, Merrill.
Speaker 1: We've got to get to as Art to Caesar, this
is our Friday NFL three team parlay.
Speaker 2: Art has laid it out. He's taking the Eagles on the.
Speaker 1: Money line for his play there, Meryl for his first
leg here on his three team parlay.
Speaker 2: What are you think in here?
Speaker 1: Which one of these games here are you gonna give
us for the second leg of this three team parlay?
Speaker 3: Now? Can I use a Friday night college hoops game
or am I?
Speaker 2: Oh STRICTLYFL. STRICTLYFL.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna going it could be a total, could
be a anything you want in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play the line value with the over forty
four and a half now with the Packers and Bears.
Oh no, Saturday night. And now, Joe, this is really
once again I'm reverse jinks to myself because I use
this as my prime play in my video. And as
you know, the prime games are fifteen and three this
year on those free videos here on wager Talk TV.
So I'm double dipping here trying to go to sixteen
and three on the free Prime games. And as I
told you yesterday, it's the first time ever I get
to say playoffs on Prime. So so much on the
line here. But this total open forty six and a
half was forty five and a half on Thursday. Now
it's down to forty four and a half on Friday.
Forty five is a key number, and we get that
working for us now with the over. And yes, these
teams played twice in December. First game was pretty high scoring.
I think it was what twenty eight twenty one got
to forty nine. And then they played back in week
sixteen a few weeks ago, and it was sixteen to
six with two minutes to go, and then Chicago made
that incredible comeback one in overtime. But that was a misleading,
low scoring game. Jordan Love gots hurt now, but Lake
Willis played extremely well, so I don't really think that
hurt the offense any but they still did lose Love
for some of that game. But look at the yard
in Chicago got to four hundred total yards, Green Bay
got to like three to eighty. They almost had eight
hundred total yards. I know some of that was overtime,
but the teams moved the ball, and the Packers defense
has really become beat up down the stretch. They're on
a four game slide, zero and four straight up in ATS.
I like the over forty four and a half and
the Bears Packers on Saturday Night.
Speaker 1: You know what, Steve I mean, I kind of agree
with you there. I think anything is possible. I don't
trust necessarily the Bears defense all that much either, but
it feels, you know, it does feel like points could
be coming in this one.
Speaker 2: And let's face it, if I'm not mistaken, outside of that.
Speaker 1: Last game, wasn't hasn't green Bay dominated them over the
last couple of years, It's been.
Speaker 2: All green Bay. We know that Aaron Rodgers owned the Bears.
Speaker 1: Gordon Aaron Rodgers, he did anyway, but I'm pretty sure
La Flooring Company they've had a bunch of success against them.
Speaker 2: Also, feels like the points got to happen.
Speaker 1: And if we're not worried about weather, are we really
trusting both defenses? They shut down both offenses. That feels
like a big ass No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I left out the whole key to this handicap,
and it's what you mentioned is the Chicago Bear defense.
This is not a good defensive team. No, you'll give
up twenty four and a half points a game. They're
giving up five yards of carry, over seven yards of pass,
over six yards of play. The number two seed in
the NFC is getting up over six yards per play.
Green Bay statistically has a much better defense. They're a
yard per play better defensively, but they haven't been quite
as good down to stretch. If you look over the
past two months, given up five and a half yards
of playing over the past month, they've given up six
yards of play green Bay. So their defensive numbers are
as bad as they've been over the past month. Yeah,
I think this I think this line moved down makes
no sense to me. And maybe it's weather related, but
as I said, the wins supposed to be like ten
to fifteen miles an hour. It doesn't look like it's
anything crazy on Saturday night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you on that one. All right.
Speaker 1: So we've got an Eagles up money line. We've got
it over and the Bears and Green Bay. I'm just
gonna keep it simple. You gotta anchor it to something.
Give me the Rams on the money line. There we go,
Rams money line, Eagles money line, and the over there
for Green Bay and Chicago. And that is your three
your three leg parlay coming up for the NFL and
wild card weekend. Right, No need to get fancy here
with these games this weekend. Just take the ones you like.
And even Art had said, gonna be a lot of
liability for the books in money line parlays with both
the Eagles and the Rams.
Speaker 2: It feels like Steve. But you know, hey, usually in
the wild card.
Speaker 1: Weekend, the chalk usually rains reigned supreme in most years.
Speaker 2: So you know, you're a ten and a half point
favorite for a reason.
Speaker 1: Aren't just even at this point in the Wildcard I
don't think that happens by accident.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I you know, coming into this week, I always
kind of make the lines before I look at them,
and I'm thinking to myself, you know, like, how can
you not like the Rams in this game? Please keep
in mind it's a revenge game of the Rams eight
there on November thirtieth, and it was a terrible spot form.
It was a phony loss. They had a three to
nothing turnover deficit. They outgained the Panthers and yardage. Carolina,
by the way, has been out gained in yards in
nine of the last ten games. They've only outgained one
of their last ten opponents. Statistically, they lost the must
win game against Tampa, but then they still make the
playoffs because the Falcons beat these Rams and beat the
Saints in two meaningless games to finish it out, So
I'm thinking, you know, like, how could you possibly take Carolina?
And then I see ten ten and a half and
I'm like, well, I can't lay ten and a half
on the road in a playoff game. So yeah, this
feels like a game where the Rams went by exactly ten.
But I think the money line is a pretty safe option.
Speaker 2: I think. So.
Speaker 1: I think the books are going to get crushed a
little in those two games there between the Rams and
the Eagle game. But does give us an opportunity here
to talk a little business before we dive into some
particular props and plays and angles that we're looking at
this weekend in the wild card. So, Meryl, you know
I've got to do it because you were such a
big fan of it. Yes, let me just throw that
out for you so you can get the full experience
here of it's time for business.
Speaker 2: Love.
Speaker 3: That looks like that was either a cruise ship or
at NATO or the UN that's his living room.
Speaker 2: Ah, he's got it.
Speaker 3: Looks like he's about to enter the seventies after leaving
the United Nations. That's like a map behind and then
there's a is that a foot to his left or
another body is that someone's back turned?
Speaker 2: That is correct.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even know where to buy something like that. See,
we're being completely honest, Like I wouldn't even know where
to find that.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure, I'm obviously I'm assuming this is photoshop.
I'm pretty sure it's a women's body.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, that's the world, not photoshop, Meryl.
Speaker 2: But well done.
Speaker 3: Is that a real picture?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes, I thought it was his head on it, But
now that you gave me the full shot there, I
was like, that actually looks pretty real.
Speaker 1: Yes, that is his Halloween party. Okay, there we go,
sures Halloween. Yeah, Halloween like June, June the fifth. Yeah,
like the actually Halloween in like July. That's live from
the hard Rock at the Poker tour.

our page at wager talk dot com. All right, Meryl,
let's go. We'll dive in here two minutes on the
clock all the way through. Just give us some thoughts
here on a NFL from a prop betting perspective or
even team total perspective.
Speaker 2: What game do you think you can look at.
Speaker 1: Here that might have well, if nothing more points and
maybe some opportunities in the prop betting market.
Speaker 3: Well, let's start that first game tomorro on Saturday. You know,
by the way, my lock of the century was that
the Texans would have the four to thirty Saturday game.
I got that wrong. They're playing the Monday night game
because there's a more undesirable team in the postseason this year,
and that's the Carolina, the eight to nine Carolina Panthers.
So they stick them at four thirty Eastern on Saturday.
It's always the Bengals or Texans. Now it's the Panthers
because the Rams should blow them out. With that said, though,
you know I was looking through Mark Lawrence's numbers yesterday,
and I mentioned this in my video as well. We
all know home dogs have done extremely well in the playoffs.
In fact, Mark has them at thirty five and fifteen
against the spread seventy percent since nineteen eighty. Over forty
five years, they've covered seventy percent. So that's another reason
why I could see this game like the Rams winning
by exactly ten and the Panthers covering. The problem though,
is the Panthers offense is still not good. Bryce Young
is still not good, their passing attack is still not good.
So when they get behind, you just don't trust them
to catch up. So if you're gonna play that early
game at four thirty eastern, maybe a Panther team total
under seventeen and a half. Yes, I would lean Panthers
plus ten and a half, but I also would rather
shorten it up when the game is still competitive. First
half plus six and a half would have much rather
have gotten a plus seven. But we're only getting plus
six and a half. Or you can even look at
the first quarter line there. You know, as we've talked
about these other games, teams come out conservative. Unfortunately it's
just plus two and a half. So ten and a
half is tempting, but six and a half two and
a half first quarter, first half is probably the safer
play with Carolina. Keep an eye on those, by the way.
You might get a plus three first quarter with Carolina
or a plus seven first half. But I think the
team total under seventeen and a half is a good
little hedge if you do play the Panthers, because if
it gets ugly, they probably not gonna score much down
the stretch when they get behind.
Speaker 2: I like that there, Meryl.
Speaker 1: I got an interesting one too here, and it's going
to be I can't believe you didn't know this, but
it seems crazy, but the Bills have played twelve playoff
games since twenty twenty. All twelve, Merril have either been
home in Buffalo or in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So that is absolutely crazy when you think about it,
that they have since twenty twenty not made it any
place else other than at home.
Speaker 2: Or in Kid. That's my video, Joe.
Speaker 3: You are saying, I'm gonna mentioning I'm recording the Sunday
three pack this afternoon, So you're telling me the last
twelve games have all been Kansas City or Buffalo.
Speaker 1: All that's either at home in Orchard Park or on
the road in Kansas City. Which does all be Josh
Allen games, you think? Or is it before sent twenty twenty? Yeah,
that's all twenty twenty, and that's all Josh.
Speaker 3: Allen twenty twenty. Awesome. That's a great stet and buffalo.
Speaker 2: By the way, Oh and we all know oh and three.
Speaker 1: In Kansas City. But it's interesting here. I really like
a prop in this weekend's game between them and Jacksonville.
And call me crazy, but I think Josh Allen's pass
attempts which was thirty and a half, maybe thirty one
and a half right now, I think that's gonna be
a good play. Teams pass on Jacksonville at the fourth
highest rate in the league year sixty eight percent of
teams sixty eight percent of from teams are passing plays
against Jacksonville because they have that whole pass funnel defense
where they're very good against the run, but they're gonna
let you take.
Speaker 2: Everything over the middle.
Speaker 1: They're gonna let you dink and dunk all around the field,
and teams have taken advantage of it. And nobody's gonna
be better at that than Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: Not to mention.
Speaker 1: I think the Jags could be playing from in front
in this game, especially early, and if that's the case,
then I think it's gonna be all about Josh Allen
and his arm. I don't think it's gonna be about
the running game in this kind of conditions.
Speaker 2: Here, what seventy degrees at kick?
Speaker 1: I think in Jacksonville, I think there's gonna be a
lot of passing. I think Josh Allen, if he's gonna
win that game, he's gonna win it with his arm.
I would anticipate a lot of passing attempts in that game.
Speaker 2: Merrill with between Jacksonville and Buffalo. So give me Josh.
Speaker 1: Allen's pass attempts up and over thirty one and a
half here for that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, has to say.
Speaker 3: One thing you think of run away is Jacksonville probably
let in a lot of those games. The teams aren't
going to throw more. But what I just said, if
you think Buffalo might be playing from behind, what jumps
out to me in this game? The real mismatch is
the rush defensive edge for jacksonvill Buffalo's got one of
the worst run defenses in the league. Over five yards
of carry allowed and Jacksonville's rushed for I think they've
had a guy run for one hundred yards or more.
They've run as a team in over half their games
this year, so I think running back props for Jacksonville,
however you want to cut it, rushing props individual at
the end, you know, running props up and over make
a lot of sense because Buffalo's run defense has definitely
been their weakness this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly has, and I think Josh could and
the way, let's face it, the way Buffalo doesn't play
until the second half, they're likely playing from behind anyway,
so it's likely going to be a Josh Allen show
when it's all said and done. All right, let's talk
some NBA here, better card across the board here tonight, merrill.
Speaker 2: Let's start what a.
Speaker 1: Couple of games here that we can look at, and
it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 2: So let me see if I understand.
Speaker 1: The Pelicans are a road favorite. May it makes sense? Ah,
they're playing Washington. By the way, there will not be
any new additions playing for the Wizards here tonight. Yeah,
the Noah Trey ain't gonna be there tonight, nor will
I ce J McCollum, by the way, I believe be
there for Atlanta tonight. But the Pelicans, you know, quietly,
and some of the Wizards, they've been they've been a
pretty good atm machine covering spreads lately.
Speaker 2: Two and a half in Washington. Is it a coin
flip game to you?
Speaker 1: And this because it feels like a coin flip game
to me, But it also feels like we're getting two
hundred and sixty points in this game. Yeah, I was
just gonna set. I don't think we're getting much defense.
The total open two thirty nine and a half, it's
up to forty two and a half. So I think
that is probably the best way to play it. Whenever
there's uncertainty and a lack of maybe focus, I think
that shows in the defensive side of the ball. And
like you just said, I mean, are we really trusting
either of these teams?
Speaker 2: Is the favor?
Speaker 3: But I don't necessarily want to play the dog here either.
But the Pelicans have lost nine in a row and
they've gone one and eight against the spread, and they've
been an underdog in every one of those games, and
they've still only covered once out of nine and they've
lost all nine straight up, so now their favorite on
the road. Like you said, can't trust that. But then again,
the Wizards, while they've been a pretty good money maker
here the last few weeks, a little bit of a
disruption here with the trade and everything, which makes me
uncertain how they're going to come out. I'd like the over.
If I'm going to play this, I would definitely be
up and over two forty two. I think it'll be
a playoff atmosphere. I play correction playground atmosphere. It's definitely
not playoff atmosphere is low scoring. Playground atmosphere is street ball,
high scoring, no defense, and I think that's what we
get tonight. By the way, the Wizards have been an
interesting case study. They were probably as bad as any
team I've seen in the NBA. They lost like, what
was it like, fifteen of their first sixteen or whatever
to start the season until late November, and we always
talk about not catching that falling knife. When they started
to kind of turn the corner. They've been, as you said,
one of the best money makers in the month of
December and early Anuary. So we'll see if this kind
of resets everything. I have a feeling it might and
I'd be careful with the Wizards over the next few weeks.
Speaker 2: I would too, And one other game I'll throw out there.
Speaker 1: Apparently on the thunder of hit a Wall, it was
abound to happen at some point, Meryl. But usually if
this was a month ago, this game tonight against Memphis,
they would have been twelve point favorites. Twelve and a
half point favorites here. Five and a half is what
they are now, as they are barely five hundred. I
think over the last couple of weeks here what happened?
Are all that basketball starting to catch up with them
a little bit here? Yeah, it's so funny, Joe. This
is another great example of what we're talking about. You know,
the Wizards were as bad as anybody in history the
first month. The thunder was as good as anybody in history.
And I remember you and I were talking about this
on a sports grid hit like three or four saturdays ago.
You know, would they even lose again, we're having that discussion,
like would they lose more than three or four games
all season?
Speaker 3: And they're now thirty one and seven. In fact, I'd
like to go back and figure out the exact Saturday
it was probably two or three weeks ago. They've definitely
been below five hundred since we've had that conversation, so
I think we somewhat semi jinkst them there. But it
just shows the ebb and flows of the basketball season.
And you can't just kind of will these teams into
fixing stuff. Because they were a fifteen point home favorite
against Memphis back on December twenty second, and now after
losing as a ten point favorite against Phoenix fifteen point.
They didn't just lose as a fifteen point favorite against Charlotte,
they've lost outright by twenty seven, so that's like a
forty two point loss against the spread. And then all
they got back on track against Utah winning won twenty
nine to twenty five, is a nineteen point favorite. The
big thing is this has been the best defensive team
in the league the last two years. They've given up
two hundred and forty nine points the last two games.
They've given up triple digits each of the last three games.
And then you look at the injury report here tonight,
over half their lineup is out. Yes, so I'd be
really careful with them here. I don't even think they're
going to probably win this game. I don't. I mean,
unless something's changed. I mean the NBA were as of
thirty minutes ago is listing, you know, Shay out, listing,
whole Grim out, Jalen Williams out. I mean, what am
I missing here?
Speaker 2: Joe?
Speaker 3: Why are they why are they going from three and
a half to six? And it's like this information is
wrong or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's very strang I just noticed that
as well, Meryll. That makes absolutely uh.
Speaker 3: This is the official NBA dot com report for one
Eastern so and they're they're listed is out. It's not questionable.
They're all listed as out. So I don't know what
I'm missing here like there. I mean, I know John moreno,
like Memphis is missing guys too, but this is basically
a preseason game now.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it feels like there.
Speaker 1: And if I'm not, I know, the report just came
out too that now Memphis is uh, it's official Memphis
is currently shopping John Morant for.
Speaker 3: He's listing is out on the report also, So yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, it makes no sense.
Speaker 3: Lo okse have though Hartenstein out, Gilchris out, whole Grim out, Cason,
Wallace Williams out.
Speaker 1: I mean SGA's Caruso's question. I mean that's it, SGA,
Hart and Stein Williams. That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. Jalen Williams,
ched Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, and SGA all have been ruled out,
and the only guy that's loved is Caruso is the
only one questionable.
Speaker 2: Everyone else is a mess.
Speaker 3: So I've start all day and now it's up to
six in the last thirty minutes. I don't Yeah, it's
like that's one of those lines like that game should
be a pick them because I don't have an opinion
either way. It's like I just would play the dog.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: I mean you can figure out. Okayc wants to get
back on track, but do they have even the I mean,
how good are their backups? I mean this is like
the backups of the backups at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this interesting not good. That is absolutely not good.
We do have, of course, to calm before the storm.
Speaker 1: Meryl is what we like to call it now that
the calendar has turned in college basketball, because well we
got what tomorrow I believe last one hundred and forty
nine games tomorrow, nearly three hundred teams will be on
the court tomorrow in college basketball, but we only got
what twenty eight to twenty nine teams on the floor
here tonight. Tip I believe do we have an early
game today? I don't think we did. First game is
right around six o'clock Miami of Ohio undefeated taking on
Toledo in a game here that the total keeps getting
bet up like people know exactly what the final score
is going to be there. But at kudos to Miami
of Ohio hitting what like fifty from three on the
seats in here. Nobody can seem to beat them here.
They're on the road, but that line flipped. You get
an undefeated Miami of Ohio and they opened up as
a favorite. Now they're a dog here on the road
against Toledo. Who'd have thunk it, little matched might be
the best game on a card here tonight?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think you know. It is incredible they're after that
what is a sixteen and those starts. Yeah, but now
it's conference time and we see these teams know each
other well. We often see teams come back down to earth.
The tempo should be fast. I do agree with the
over in this game Both teams play extremely fast, to
the fastest teams in the conference for sure. Even in
the nation. Toledo a much weaker defensive team, Miami of
IOA holds a huge offensive edge. What does concern you
though a bit as we often see teams struggle offensively
on the road. So if this game was in Miami
of Ohiowa and love the over a little bit lukewarm
just because it's a road game, but still up and
over one sixty seven be the only way I play it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 1: And a little late night USC taking on Minnesota. USC
lost its best player and it's just not it has
not been good and Minnesota laying it's been all Minnesota
money by the way, opened up minus one and now
Minnesota laying three and a half four across the board.
And Minnesota is actually halfway decent team this year. Nothing crazy,
but SC is going through it right now. It's a
new era there for SC and it's not all to
a great tart right now in college basketball for them.
I would feel like I would either lay it or
just pass here at this point because I don't think
we can trust that C on the road against Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Yeah, USC hasn't had Rodney Rice is probably the best
player since like late late November. I think he's missed
now like eight straight games. They lost to Washington, but
they won five of the other six games without him
until that Michigan trip last week into Monday, Saturday, and Monday.
They lost by thirty against Michigan, who I have as
the best team in the country, and then they lost
by twenty nine against Michigan State. But I also mentioned
Michigan State on Monday's wager Talk today because Michigan State
was coming off a loss. So I'm not going to
overreact too much of those two USC losses. I think
they might actually set up some value for us here
in the near future. The problem is it's another tough
Big Ten game in Minnesota. And keep in mind Conference
teams know each other well. USC is not used to
playing at Michigan at Michigan State, and Minnesota is a
bizarre court, as you know, Joe, where I think it's
still the same where the big benches are below core
level like Vanderbilts, you know, and it's just a very
it's like a bar, and it's just a weird arena.
So be careful tonight, but they are back at home
against Maryland next Tuesday. USC is yep, and that's a
team they're better than. So I almost kind of hope
USC gets blown out again to be honest, tonight, and
then we sets up a good bounce back play for
US Tuesday, maybe against Maryland.
Speaker 2: Like that in a big, big way there.
Speaker 1: So now you got a guy little college basketball NBA
action tonight, a couple of different looks in the NFL
Wildcard weekend, plus of course the college football semifinal tonight
round two as you get Oregon and Indiana.
Speaker 2: For the right to come to Miami and take on
the U. So a lot of stuff going on there.
Speaker 1: And Meryl, like you said, you're lockloaded NFL as well
as NBA here tonight heading into the weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got an NBA Best Bet Friday, two advanced
NFL plays for this week. It actually I'm sorry three.
I loaded another one today, So we have three advanced
NFL plays now up and then also a free college

the show. Go get my top college basketball opinion to
