00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: It's Football Friday and time for the weekend's action. Here's

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,400
but best bets.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,199
Speaker 2: It is that time we go through our best bets.

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,760
Three best college plays, three best NFL plays. Marco DiAngelo

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,280
in studio TC Martin here at the Gambridge field House

6
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,399
in Indiana, getting ready for the Aces in the Fever

7
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,760
game number three, and of course from parts unknown, the

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,719
One and Only Trevor manage his ESPN duties already underway,

9
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:35,920
and catch Trevor on the sports centers and the college

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,159
football finals everywhere. He's on every ESPN platform. What's going on, brother?

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,119
How you doing, Trevor?

12
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: See?

13
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not going to tell you where I am

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,960
right now, but I will give you a clue for

15
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,799
Internet salute. I'm looking up right now. I see a

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,000
palm tree and a pine tree and a castis.

17
00:00:56,159 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 5: So you can figure out where I am. Then you

18
00:00:58,679 --> 00:00:59,280
are amazing.

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: You're in the lane of television, my friend.

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: That's where you are with a green screen, and that's

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,000
where you're It sounds like a studio right there, my friend.

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: There it is no TV.

23
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:12,079
Speaker 5: I can't put one on the TV radio guy, that's

24
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:12,480
for sure.

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Trevor mattis, give us

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,120
your best three? What do you got? College? Oh play

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,480
for NFL College.

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: Malan j ok So Colloyde.

29
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 4: So LSU is at Old miss An Old Miss is

30
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,640
laying one and a half one point five, and I

31
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,840
like Old Miss to cover that.

32
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 5: LSU right now is doing great.

33
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:37,239
Speaker 4: They're undefeated, but their two best wins are against Clemson

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,879
and Florida. Turns out Clempson and Florida are combined two

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,959
and six right now, and their wins are against Troy

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,159
and Long Island of the SCS, So those two teams

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,319
don't look as quite as impressive a win for LSU.

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,760
So even so, LSU's offense has been struggling a bit.

39
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:01,359
LSU's defense has looked really good, but I don't know

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,400
how good they are because I don't know how good

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,439
Cleanston and Florida's offenses really are. What I do know

42
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:08,120
is that Old Missus.

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,199
Speaker 5: Offense is fantastic. And when they're.

44
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: Starting quarterback Austin Simmons got hurt and Trinidan Chambliss came in,

45
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,000
he has been a revelation as a dual threat quarterback

46
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,520
in this offense has been ripping off all kinds of

47
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,960
big plays left and right.

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,319
Speaker 5: Now can know as you stop that I don't know.

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: But as I look at this, I look at ole

50
00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:30,319
Miss at home, and I look at a questionable defense

51
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,919
for ole Miss, a defense that I don't trust LSU,

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,759
and only one offense that I like, and I'm only

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,039
laying a point in half at home.

54
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 5: Give me ole.

55
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: Miss, then only go to that Penn State. Penn State

56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,479
is playing three and a half, and I liked the

57
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,560
Nitney Lions in this one.

58
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,159
Speaker 5: There are a moans and flaws on.

59
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: Both of these teams. Neither one has played a decent schedule.

60
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:56,599
For Penn State, the fall is that they haven't been

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,800
able to connect down the field at all in the

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,599
passing game, not at all, but they have been dominant

63
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,840
in the running game with one of the best offensive

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,719
lines in college football and with one of the best

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,479
running back rooms in college football. In Oregon, for all

66
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,439
their flashy impressiveness this year, has not been very good

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,199
at run defense, especially outside zone. I mean, even Oregon State,

68
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,479
Northwestern or Oklahoma State had success running outside zone against

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Oregon's defense.

70
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: Well, guess what Penn State's going to do.

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,719
Speaker 4: And also, you've got the quarterback for Oregon, Dante Moore

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,879
has been lighting it up, just one of the best

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,360
statistical quarterbacks in the nation so far, but he hadn't

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,400
played anybody and his only road game was at Northwestern

75
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,680
in a soccer stadium with twelve thousand people in it.

76
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:43,719
Speaker 5: I mean, now.

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: He's going to wide out in Happy Valley with over

78
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:50,080
one hundred thousand screaming fans. How will he do in

79
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:54,719
his fifth start ever as an Oregon Duck quarterback? And

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,159
so you know, I like Penn State to take over

81
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,039
in the running game in this one. Oregon will make

82
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,560
some plays, but I think Penn State, with the quality

83
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:05,280
of their defense to slow down the big place from Oregon.

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,319
With the running attack that they'll be able to I

85
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,400
think have success with. And with the advantage that playing

86
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:13,520
at home in a wide out gives the Niitney Lions,

87
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,960
I like them to lay the points that Ohio State

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
is at Washington and Washington's getting seven and a half.

89
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,680
I like the Huskies in this one. Part of it

90
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,800
is at home. Washington has one twenty two straight games.

91
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,759
That's a sneaky hard place to play in some ways,

92
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:31,720
a sneaky difficult place, impossible place to win recently, and

93
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:35,800
Ohio State might not be as unbeatable as it appears.

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,720
They get a lot of credit for their win in

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,279
the opener against Texas, but we've seen Texas' offense is

96
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:43,399
not very good right now, and it was that it's

97
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,079
worse in the opener when it went up to play

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,480
at Columbus. And so, yeah, IIOW States is really good,

99
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:50,600
but how good are they really? Well?

100
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: Guess what.

101
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: On defense, They've done a lot of good things, but

102
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,720
they also are not dominant right now in run defense

103
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,199
the and Washington is actually very very good at running

104
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:05,920
inside zone and outside zone, which are two things that

105
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,920
had been that have made Ohio State defense a bit vulnerable. Plus,

106
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,639
when you talk about quarterback plus wide receiver, top wide

107
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:19,079
receiver plus top running back, those triplets for Washington that

108
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,839
may be the best trio at those positions in the

109
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,680
entire Big Ten. I think Ohio State will probably win

110
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,720
this game, but I think that Washington will be able

111
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,680
to keep it close. Another thing that makes me feel

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,319
good I see I'm trying to learn as much as

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,360
I can from Marco, is that there's heavy action from

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,279
the public on Ohio State, heavy, heavy, heavy action on

115
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:43,000
Ohio State. So Marco told me to look twice at

116
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,000
the other side, so I look twice at Washington and

117
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,680
I'm picking him.

118
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: It's funny you bring up Marco's name, because I was

119
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:50,639
not ready to say. You know, from our earlier segment,

120
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,680
I think you and Marco might be drinking out of

121
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,879
the same water cooler right there. So go ahead, Marco

122
00:05:58,759 --> 00:05:59,319
hit us up.

123
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,319
Speaker 3: I like two of his three plays for sure at

124
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,319
Penn State. In the Washington plays, I like those ones.

125
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,319
But for my best bets TC, I'm gonna start it

126
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,480
off with a game under the radar, and I'm gonna

127
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,639
take Appalachian State plus the sixteen sixteen and a half

128
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,600
against Boise State. The reason for this is they've had

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,879
two weeks to prepare for this game. Boise is in

130
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:25,160
what I like to refer to as a big time

131
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,480
sandwich spot. They're coming off a conference game the week before,

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,120
playing a non conference game the week before. They get

133
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,000
to play Notre Dame next. That's a huge look ahead

134
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,560
spot for them. I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna take

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,879
Appalachian State. I don't think they're gonna go into the

136
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,160
blue field and win outright, but I think they're gonna

137
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,759
give them their money's worth and all they can handle.

138
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,399
So give me the sixteen and a half points with

139
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,319
Appalachian State. For play number two, I'm gonna go with Illinois,

140
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,360
and I think people are going to overreact to them

141
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,639
just getting you know, boat raced last week against Indiana.

142
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120
Signetti never took his foot off the gas, ran up

143
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,199
the score, and Illinois is an embarrassed team. I always say,

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,240
give me the better defense getting points. Southern cal I

145
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:22,560
don't trust them as a road favorite coming into Illinois.

146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,920
I think this is gonna be one of those games

147
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,160
that's gonna come down to the wire and be decided

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,079
by a late field goal. And I'm gonna go with

149
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:34,800
Illinois to pull the upset on USCS. And the last

150
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:40,000
one last week, I liked Kansas against West Virginia. Why

151
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,000
because they caught West Virginia in a horrible spot. West

152
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:47,439
Virginia was coming off that come from behind win against

153
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,160
a pit in the backyard brawl. So I'm throwing out

154
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,000
that forty one to ten win. You're gonna see a

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,160
Kansas team that I think is gonna struggle defensively to

156
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:02,040
stop Cincinnati. Cincinnati is another one those teams that you

157
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:05,360
know looking forward to this game had prep time. They

158
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,079
were coming off a blowout of their own. They haven't

159
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,439
played a tough schedule. Cincinnati, we don't know how good

160
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:14,040
they are. The only thing we have to measure them

161
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,160
by was they only lost by three to Nebraska and

162
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,560
that opener at Arrowhead. But I think this team is

163
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,079
better than what their schedule says they are their record,

164
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,639
and I don't think Kansas is as good as they are.

165
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:32,159
So give me Cincinnati plus the points and I'm calling

166
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,879
for the upset.

167
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm gonna start bright and early tomorrow.

168
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,720
I'm in Indiana Territory, guys, So I'm going with the Irish.

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,840
Irish are traveling to Arkansas one of those rare, weird

170
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:47,559
type of games. But the Irish have been counted out

171
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,519
by for the college football Playoff by so many people

172
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:51,919
and it's only week five.

173
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: Hold your role, baby, Come on, baby.

174
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,879
Speaker 2: Losses were to two top ten teams in Miami and

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,799
Texas A and M. And that's foolish to think that

176
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,360
the Irish are done yet. Yes, the Irish are on

177
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480
a mission. They've got arguably the best running back tandem

178
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:10,080
in the country at Jeremiah Love and Jadarian Price. Plus

179
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,759
they got quality wide receivers and the quality tied end. Yes,

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,320
you know, car may not be there yet, but he's okay.

181
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,679
And then I think, you know, the Irish defense. They're

182
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120
getting a lot of flak for what happened last week. Okay,

183
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,200
maybe a little bit of a concern, but you are

184
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,759
playing Arkansas and I'm really banking on the Irish moving

185
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:29,759
the ball on the Arkansas defense.

186
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: That Arkansas defense is terrible.

187
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,039
Speaker 2: They gave up forty one to Ole Miss and a

188
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,360
backup quarterback a couple weeks ago, thirty two to Memphis

189
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,320
against a mediocre quarterback. I think the Irish make a

190
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,200
statement here. They're laying three and a half. I will

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,159
take the Irish tomorrow and then also the big game

192
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:51,240
in the SEC, Georgia and Alabama. Alabama has wins the

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,759
last week against a very bad Wisconsin team. Have they

194
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,559
forgotten how bad they've looked against Florida.

195
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: State two weeks earth.

196
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:04,039
Speaker 2: Alabama is not a top tier team, especially on the

197
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,440
road between the hedges. Georgia is better on both sides

198
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,480
of the football, and they're better on the sidelines. I'll

199
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,559
take Kirby Smart over Caleb de Boor any day of

200
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,159
the week. And twice coming up on this Saturday. All right,

201
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,519
all that, plus it's a revenge game, that's right. Remember

202
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,519
last year, I certainly do. Alabama beat Georgia forty one

203
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,720
to thirty four in one of the wildest games of

204
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:29,720
the entire season, maybe one of the wildest games we've

205
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,679
ever seen. Alabama had twenty eight to nothing, only to

206
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,879
see Georgia come back and take the lead thirty four

207
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:38,759
to thirty three on a seventy five yard touchdown pass

208
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:42,000
on blown coverage by Georgia with two minutes to play

209
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,320
in the game. The Dogs came back all right, and

210
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,720
they were ready to win the game in the final minute,

211
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,440
but Carson Beck, who had a disastrous day.

212
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: Through an interception in the end zone.

213
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: Georgia has had had four turnovers in that game, and

214
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Beck was downright awful. But guess what, guys, not this Saturday.

215
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Uh uh, Georgia gets revenge. George is the better team.

216
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,600
I'm tired of hearing about Alabama. Uh Uh, it's Georgia.

217
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,720
And then finally Trevor, I hope I'm gonna make you

218
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,720
happy brother BYU and Colorado, I'm laying with the road favorite.

219
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:23,120
In Trevor's Cougar's another rematch from last year the Alamo

220
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,960
bull Remember, coach Brime had his entire roster available to him,

221
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,399
He had Shador Sanders, he had Travis Hunter.

222
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: All right, what happened?

223
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: BYU blew him out thirty six to fourteen, and the

224
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,120
game was even more lopsided than that. Right, they made

225
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:41,960
them look silly. Sanders draft stock plummeted because of that game.

226
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,879
This year BYU is better than last year's BYU version.

227
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:50,919
Colorado is worse than Colorado's team from last year. So yes,

228
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,679
I think result though more of the same Coug's role.

229
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:55,879
What do you think, Trev.

230
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: And I think that's a bold call, right Dad? That

231
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:03,320
Bowl game between by in Colorado last year, BYU's defense

232
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,120
didn't throw the same look twice at Shdor standers in

233
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:09,720
the first half. I mean they came from every different

234
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,919
angle differently every single time, and Chor was not only

235
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,879
back on his heels, he was never able to really

236
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:19,840
recover in the second half. And the key players for

237
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,919
BYU are back. They are disruptive, They come from every

238
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,799
different direction unexpectedly with great and I mean great athletes.

239
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: So this BYU defense, Kaytan Salter is going to.

240
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: Look at what happened to Shador in the Bowl game

241
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,799
last year. He'll try to solve them, but good luck

242
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,120
doing that because they will be everywhere.

243
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: All right, Trev, give us your three best NFL real

244
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:44,639
quick as we roll on here.

245
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: Okay, Packers at the Cowboys laying six and a half,

246
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,840
and I like Green Bay in this one just because

247
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:57,080
Cowboys their defense is just awful, especially their past defense

248
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,559
historically awful. Now some of that's in some of that

249
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,159
talent and things like that, but I mean in the

250
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,759
last two weeks, they are the last two games they

251
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,399
allowed Russell Wilson and Caleb Williams to have career days.

252
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,480
I mean, Russell Wilson threw for four hundred and fifty

253
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,279
yards against the Cowboys. And so here comes the Packers offense.

254
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,759
I think they're going to be able to move the

255
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:19,919
ball up or down the field. That will and if

256
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,200
they force the Cowboys to throw, which I think they will,

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,559
here comes Michael Parson's former Cowboy now rushing his former quarterback,

258
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,639
Dak Prescott, against an offensive line that has not shown

259
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,279
it's very good. I just see the Packers covering six

260
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,879
and a half with some comfort. Then I want to

261
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,840
go with two totals because once again, I think I'm

262
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,279
three and two on totals right now, and Marco, you know,

263
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,120
he needs me to get underwater on totals so he

264
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,240
can laugh at me for picking so many. So I'm

265
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:53,559
gonna start with the Chargers at the Giants. The total

266
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:57,679
is forty three point five. The Giants are starting a

267
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,600
rookie quarterback for the first time, Jackson. They're not very

268
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,600
good on offense, and their defense. The Giants has actually

269
00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:07,000
kind of picked up the pace a little bit. They've

270
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720
improved on the back end. They've been generating a lot

271
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,639
of pressure, and they'll be going against the Chargers offensive

272
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,879
line that's banged up. I really see the Challengers wanting

273
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:21,799
to protect their quarterback, win this game and get on

274
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:24,360
out of there. And I see the Giants for the

275
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,840
rookie quarterback, not being able to get a whole lot done.

276
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,279
So I'm picking the under there. And then my other

277
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,039
total is another under. This is Tennessee at Houston. Houston

278
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:35,519
has made the under in all three games this year,

279
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:38,240
and I picked them on two of them, and I'm

280
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,320
gonna ride with them again. That the Titans aren't even

281
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,840
the worst offense in this game. Houston is the worst

282
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,679
in the NFL. Titans offense is second worst in the NFL.

283
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:53,720
Houston's star receiver Nico Collins is either questionable or out,

284
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:55,360
one of the two that he's on the injury list.

285
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:59,320
There the Titans don't have their right tackle JC Latham.

286
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:00,879
Speaker 5: He's out with injury.

287
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: And I just don't see either team being able to

288
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:05,360
sustain drives and get a whole lot done.

289
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 5: Not because the opposing defense is that good from a.

290
00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 4: Standpoint of Houston's offense, but because houston just can't sustain rives.

291
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,679
I think Houston's defense is fantastic. I don't think the

292
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,000
Titans will do much to contribute to the total.

293
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:17,879
Speaker 5: I like the unders.

294
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:22,039
Speaker 1: All right, Marco D'Angel, what you got for Sunday and Monday.

295
00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna start with one. You're gonna need to

296
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:25,879
hold your nose when you go to the window because

297
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:29,240
this one is smelly. I am taking the New York

298
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,759
Giants plus the six and a half against the Chargers,

299
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,519
and I know TC is gonna give me flak taking

300
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:40,000
these bad teams. This is an absolutely horrible spot for

301
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,600
the Chargers. They're coming off opening the season up three

302
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:46,879
and zero against all three of their division rivals. They've

303
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,759
got such a stranglehold on the division right now, I

304
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,600
am going to fade them going across country to play

305
00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:57,799
an NFC team. Oh, I say it all the time.

306
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:01,440
The least important game on it teams schedule when you

307
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,159
get to the Tide Rakers are a road non conference games.

308
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:10,360
I'm gonna take the Giants. Let the Jackson Dart Era

309
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:15,120
begin and for Trevor, hopefully they don't score many points

310
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:17,240
and keep you under the total there and we're both

311
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:21,080
happy for play number two. I'm gonna go to my

312
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,919
Pittsburgh Steelers. Don't call me a homer because I went

313
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,879
against them the first two weeks in Gash. This is

314
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,240
the week I'm gonna go ahead and take them. This

315
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:32,720
line opened up Pittsburgh minus one and a half. And

316
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,519
everybody's overreacting to the forty eight to ten blowout that

317
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:42,320
Minnesota had last week. Hey, it wasn't Minnesota looking that great.

318
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,759
It was Cincinnati looking that bad. Five turnovers last week

319
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,399
for the Bungles against Minnesota, Carson Wentz. Hey they got

320
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:54,320
to win the first week. I always say about the

321
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,399
injured player theory, the team rises to the occasion, but

322
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,639
there's a part two to that. I go against injured

323
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:04,400
team if they got to win in the first game

324
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,400
without the star. And one last thing about Carson Wentz.

325
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:12,359
There's a reason he's on his six team in six years.

326
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:16,079
We'll see that in Dublin. We'll go Pittsburgh plus the

327
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,839
three and for the last one, Kansas City and Baltimore.

328
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,519
You know, it's the marquee game of the week. Struggled

329
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,319
with this at the beginning, but at the end of

330
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,400
the day, I got Patrick.

331
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:30,599
Speaker 1: Mahomes as a home underdog.

332
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 3: Okay, this Baltimore team, everybody said on paper they're the

333
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,119
best team in football coming into the season. There's just

334
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,759
something not right with this defense. I am gonna go

335
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,880
with the better defense getting points at home. And Casey

336
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:50,880
gets a weapon back this week with Lexander Worthy, who'll

337
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,079
have some targets to throw to that'll help the offense.

338
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: Go Chiefs, all right, And I'm gonna say fly Eagles, Fly,

339
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:02,039
Philly keeps and people hate it. They don't like the

340
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,759
tush push because they're so good at it, right Marco

341
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,000
ninety six percent. Drew Brees says their offense is boring.

342
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,680
Come on, man, give me a break.

343
00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:13,599
Speaker 1: What do they do? They win? They just keep on winning.

344
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: And Tampa Bay has been extremely lucky in all three wins,

345
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,559
all come from behind wins. Atlanta three point victory, Houston

346
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,359
a one point victory, the Jets two point victories.

347
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Look at these teams. Who's they beaten too? Atlanta, Houston

348
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,000
and the Jets? Are you kidding me?

349
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:35,279
Speaker 2: Add injuries everywhere? Offensive line, defensive line. Now, Baker Mayfield

350
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,480
is hurt. He's got a bad bicep in his throwing arm.

351
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:42,000
Mike Evans is out his favorite target, best wide receiver,

352
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,279
Fly Eagle Fly. In Tampa Bay, Rams and Indy Colts

353
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:50,119
are getting a lot of love, but they're another phony.

354
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,559
Three to zero team wins against Miami, Denver, and Tennessee.

355
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,200
On the road, they face their toughest opponent in the Rams.

356
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,599
The Rams coughed up when last week in Philly. They're

357
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:02,480
gonna remember that Matt Stafford should be able to carve

358
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:05,480
up this Indie defense while the Rams defense will be

359
00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:09,839
locked in against Daniel Jones. So I like Daniel Jones too,

360
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,039
but hey, the narrative may change at the beginning of

361
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,279
next week, saying okay, well, wait a minute about Daniel Jones. Yeah,

362
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,519
Rams at home, laying a very small price at three

363
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:21,079
and a half here, and I'm with Trev green Bay

364
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,920
over Dallas mismatch. Packers are coming off an embarrassing loss,

365
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:27,559
shut out Cleveland for the first fifty seven minutes and

366
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:29,720
then they fell apart in the final two forty five.

367
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,599
They're gonna learn from that. Dallas is a mess on

368
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,799
both sides of the football. Packers defense will give Dak

369
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,960
Prescott fits. No CD LAMB in this game. He's out,

370
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,440
he's injured. Dallas has given up more huge yards and

371
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:46,240
huge plays in all three games. The Packers will take

372
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,640
care of business here. You can lay it on the road,

373
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,240
all right. Those are our best bets. They're up on
