1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,559
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.

2
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:08,080
If you are new, we always start this show by

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,640
being transparent. I did not have a good day yesterday.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,759
I lost in college basketball and I lost on the

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,160
nixt team total under in the NBA. So back to

6
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,760
back losing days after pretty hot three weeks. I have

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,320
to get back on track here today, Ravino, it's going

8
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:27,679
to be back with you. Hopefully. Yesterday was better for

9
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:28,920
you than it was for me.

10
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: It was slightly better SKI two and two split, but

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,799
the bigger plays were in college basketball where we went

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,759
to and Oh College who did well. God, you and

13
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:42,679
I couldn't get that game right if we put our

14
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:45,799
heads together, because I had Spurs team total over man.

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,759
They made me mad fourth quarter, ninety four at the

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,880
end of three and then just disappeared in the fourth offensively.

17
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:58,520
And I had the college football game yesterday, first half

18
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,159
Jacksonville State Troy over twenty three and a half got

19
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,760
to seventeen. That's not enough. So we had a two

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,120
and two day. But as I mentioned, the college who

21
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,519
pulled us through. So that's what's been going good lately.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,560
College basketball nine and two last eleven, so we're happy with.

23
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:19,079
Speaker 1: That, all right, let's let's talk about these two games

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,799
for today. We have Cavs and Bulls. First up, opened

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,400
up minus spot for the Cavaliers, still sitting around there

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
to open two forty and a half looks like two

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:34,760
forty three. As far as the injury report, Merrill Mobley

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
nance through all out the Stima was questionable for the

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Chicago Bulls. These are two teams. I really don't want

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,599
to back either one of them, or you know they

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,000
I mean, Cavaliers haven't really been able to play defense,

32
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:56,280
haven't been covering Bulls. They've been absolutely pathetic. They've been terrible.

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,799
It's hard. I guess i'd have to look towards like

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,599
a player prop or something. And if I think about

35
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,079
player props here, it'd have to be I mean, I

36
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,479
like Tyson, he's been getting more minutes, he's been shooting

37
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:13,000
it well, he's been playing well. I would look towards

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,080
his point at twelve and a half. Yeah, I'd probably

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,240
be my favorite play in this game, you know anything

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,840
from you and Cabs and Bulls.

41
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree Ski. I mean, it's not hard

42
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,400
for us to agree on the fact that neither team

43
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,080
is playing well. It's hard to back either side here.

44
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:34,680
One's been worse than the other. I will say that,

45
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,319
you know what, would lean me slightly towards Cleveland, although

46
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,680
there's no way I'm going to lay points with Cleveland.

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,240
Billy Donovan talking about his team in the injury situation,

48
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,039
which is kind of dragged them down, he basically said,

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,879
we're starting to get guys back, but we really haven't

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,240
played much as a whole, and so it just leads

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,240
you to believe that they're still trying to figure things

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,879
out as they integrate people back into the lineup here,

53
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,080
into the rotations, and who wants a part of that?

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,120
You really don't Neither side plays defense. The money thinks

55
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:08,280
the total over is the right way to go to

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800
forty and a half, up to forty two and a

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,479
half could be I mean, neither side is playing any defense.

58
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:20,400
So it's a possibility these layoffs, though now that the

59
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,879
Cup is over, we won't have them anymore. But there's

60
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,560
you know, there's been like two or three where you

61
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,639
have a lot of time in between games, which again

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,319
I don't know how to handicap that until the game's over.

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,919
Then I can tell you how we should have gone

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,439
but in this one, I think if you're playing some

65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560
form of Over, I wouldn't talk you off of it.

66
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400
I think maybe the Calves need to be out of

67
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:46,479
that arena because they were their last game they played

68
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,120
and they got booed right out of their own home arena.

69
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,639
So maybe getting on the road is good for them.

70
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,960
And Chicago to me is just like I say, head coach,

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Donovan's telling you, we really aren't there yet. Kobe White

72
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:03,759
even had a quote, and again i'll just paraphrase here

73
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,319
because I don't have it in front of me, but

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280
he was speaking about his performance, saying he's not really

75
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:12,400
worried about it, there's plenty of games left, not really

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,439
indicating any sense of urgency, just that over time he'll

77
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:17,959
get back to the norm. I don't know. I don't

78
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:20,920
want Chicago, I don't want Cleveland. I'm not going to

79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,360
argue anybody who wants Over in any capacity, whether it

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,160
be the I'll say that the Bulls are pretty good

81
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,160
as a home underdog. Four and one ATS is a

82
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,279
home dog if you want to look at that, if

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,600
you're a technical trend player. But for me, it's no play.

84
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: Ski all right. The next game is Grizzlies and Wolves

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,720
opened up minus eight. I did drop, but looks like

86
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:43,600
it's going back up to eight or eight and a half.

87
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:48,199
Maybe we got some some injury news here. Jow downgraded

88
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560
to doubtful, So that's what that is. Yeah, looking at

89
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839
eight or eight and a half. Total has come down

90
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,680
from two thirty three and a half as low as

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,399
two twenty eight and a half. So Jo down rated,

92
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:05,240
Clark questionable, Edie out, the same other guy Spencer also out,

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,720
and the same other guys who are usually out for Memphis.

94
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,079
So missing quite a bit for that side for Minnesota

95
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,560
and is questionable. This Minnesota team hasn't been the best

96
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:21,480
covering numbers, but I feel like they should be able

97
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,319
to cover versus, you know, a Memphis team who's very

98
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,000
short handed tonight. I also think of the Timberwolves as

99
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,920
a team who should be able to protect the paint

100
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:37,439
and just force Memphis to shoot perimeter shots. If they

101
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,199
do that, I think they can have success. I lean

102
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,120
towards the Wolves this time, and if I'm betting player props,

103
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,879
I mean, really a lot of it is going to

104
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:51,480
depend on Anthony Jowar's status. Nazrie could be a good

105
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:54,399
guy to go with, he's been shooting the ball well lately.

106
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,560
He's cleared his point prop six of the last seven

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,639
games he hit it, I think five or six without

108
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,399
part of season two, So that could be one of

109
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,920
the safer ones. But if Ann is out, I know McDaniels,

110
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:08,800
he starts to take a lot more shots, and you

111
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,399
know has a more expanded role, and that is out too,

112
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,319
So I'm just gonna monitor that before I make a

113
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,560
player on this game. How do you feel on Grizzlies

114
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,560
and Timberwolves? Rob?

115
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,519
Speaker 2: You know, well, I think one of the first things

116
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,279
you said is the way I looked at it. We

117
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,480
talked the other day because Zach eat he's been out

118
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:28,040
a while, about how there's really limited rim protection for

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,279
the Grizzlies at this point in time. I happen to

120
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,240
play their team total over the other night when they

121
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,680
were playing the Clippers. You know, that was kind of

122
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,240
a simplistic play. It was just like Memphis is gonna

123
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680
run and the Clippers can't run, and even if the

124
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,480
Clippers win, Memphis should get over one twelve and a half.

125
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,160
It turns out Memphis won the game straight up in

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,600
pretty convincing fashion. Clippers really weren't in it, so we

127
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,959
won that bet. But this is a different story. Minnesota,

128
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
even without Anthony Edwards, is really athletic, and they're huge

129
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:02,319
at the rim. Randall's a really good rebounder, go Bear

130
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,240
of course, shot blocker. And for the other side, you

131
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,560
know it's Jaron Jackson and Salty Aldamad's not gonna stop

132
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,800
anybody from scoring at the rims. So Minnesota's got a

133
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:18,360
decisive edge. I think here there as athletic. Now Memphis

134
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,360
is probably down jaw as well, so the point guard

135
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,720
gets handed over to Vince Edwards as it was, or

136
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,279
excuse me, Vince Williams as it was earlier this year.

137
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:32,000
I just there's not enough on this Memphis side, as

138
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,079
far as scoring, as far as size, as far as

139
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,000
ball handling to make me want to play them second

140
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,680
road game in three days. I know they had yesterday off,

141
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:46,199
but you're coming from Los Angeles to Minnesota, I'd probably

142
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:50,120
look at the Minnesota team here. Although all that being said,

143
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,519
if you play Minnesota, you got to tread lightly because

144
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:54,879
they're just not covering numbers. They're not winning by margin

145
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,160
at this point in time. But I do like what

146
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:02,240
you said about they just be too short handed Memphis

147
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:03,839
at this point in time, and like I say, they're

148
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:08,319
shorthanded in key areas that Minnesota can exploit. So for me,

149
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,079
it would probably be Minnesota minus d eight. We see

150
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,360
some eight and a halfs out there now. If you're

151
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:18,160
gonna play it, shop it, get the best number. I'm

152
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,439
just looking at the currency here Ski while I talk

153
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,839
to you. Total from two thirty three and a half

154
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:25,319
down now to two twenty eight and a half in

155
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:26,360
some locales.

156
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, big move towards that under I just I think

157
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:37,840
I need more info on these games. I need the

158
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:42,679
injury report to you know, shure up and that Cleveland

159
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,320
game is just a disaster. So I don't know if

160
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,480
you know we're gonna move it over the best best,

161
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:52,399
but I don't think I have one, so I'm gonna

162
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:53,840
just pass it to you. I ask you if there's

163
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,000
anything you would like to promote, and if you have

164
00:08:57,039 --> 00:08:58,720
a best bet for the show, we love to hear it.

165
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,679
If you don't, it's okay, Well.

166
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,759
Speaker 2: Let's see promotion wise, I know Wager Talk's got a

167
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:07,840
few new ones going on here. First off, I'll just say,

168
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:11,759
if you're a football better weekend warrior, still available this week.

169
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:16,039
For that however, you've got football all week long, a

170
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:19,039
lot of college bowls to tonight, one every day for

171
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,279
the next however many days. So there is a college

172
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:25,720
Bowl package reduced price up and available wager talk dot com.

173
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,440
There's ten days of service or ten days of selections

174
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,840
at a reduced rate as well, if you just want

175
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,559
to go ten day all sports route. And then of

176
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,639
course you can get the NBA and College Hoop the

177
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,519
basketball three days for forty nine. That ski generally flashes

178
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:45,360
up on the screen for you here, that one I

179
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,960
think is still active as well. I'm with you. It's

180
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,039
hard for me to recommend anything in the NBA tonight.

181
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,840
It's just too hard to play it. Maybe if we

182
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,960
were doing the show like when you do your OG

183
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:58,919
show later on, maybe you'll have a better feel for

184
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,559
what the injury situation looks like. But for me, I

185
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,279
didn't play either of these games. I will, however, go

186
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,240
ahead and leave the audience with a play in college

187
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,639
football tonight. I did play the bowld game between Louisiana

188
00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:18,639
and Delaware over the total of sixty one and a half.

189
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,960
So for those of you I know we're doing a

190
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,519
basketball show here, but we sometimes talk football, so I'll

191
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:27,960
give you a college football play once again. Louisiana Delaware

192
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,399
up and over sixty one and a half.

193
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,879
Speaker 1: Our good stuff, Rovino and yeah, tomorrow we have a

194
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:40,159
loaded slate, but tonight very very slim picking, so it's

195
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:41,879
gonna be one of those days where I do not

196
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,840
leave a best bet. But Veno, it's always great breaking

197
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,279
these games down with you. I appreciate you taking the

198
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,600
time to do so. Shout out to everybody in the chat.

199
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,039
T happening as well, Gill said, first time I'm live

200
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,840
on this one. Always trying to make it to the

201
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,120
OG show. Let's go, Vino and Ski. Yeah, appreciate all

202
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,759
you guys out there. So we'll be back again tomorrow,

203
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:02,159
I said. We'll have a lot better games to talk about,

204
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:05,080
and a football game as well, So best of luck

205
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,360
on all your action tonight and we will catch you

206
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:08,039
