Speaker 1: It is that time. It's Friday.
Speaker 2: It's a football Friday live here at the Super Book
at the Westgate, Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: You know what time it is. It's football Friday, and
time for the weekend's action. Here's the best.
Speaker 2: Bets, three best college plays, three best NFL plays. They'll
all be up on the website. They're up there now
if you want to go check it out. Our good friend,
the quarterback, Jay Schrader, all right, Scott Spritees or other
handicapper extraordinary, Gilby the Intern. We're still letting him fire away.
Gilby out a good week last week, five and one
for Gilby the Intern.
Speaker 3: Huh well, three, three and zero.
Speaker 2: On the college side, he said he's gonna be back
with the vengeance this year.
Speaker 1: And then, of course there is our main.
Speaker 2: Man, our college football guru, and again the twelve year
NFL veteran, the one and only Trevor Madnitch, battling in
the trenches.
Speaker 1: What's going on, trev PC.
Speaker 4: Is Gilby going to have a seminar on how to
win at handicapping? Because he's tearing it up?
Speaker 5: Man. I want to, I want to. I want to
go to school with him.
Speaker 2: It is well, there you go, trev take some notes here.
And I love it that the Trevor has just moved
on from Marco. You know, he's moved on from the
professional handicapper and he's going with the intern because the
intern's hot right now. Trev's smart, you know, it's you know,
it's like hit the hot receiver, right, trev.
Speaker 5: Hey, I'd rather be lucky than good. Yeah, definitely not good.
So let's let's see. It's got a rub.
Speaker 1: Off on me a little bit, all right, So Marco,
we'll be magic. Let's see. I have not looked at
Trevor's plays yet.
Speaker 2: So, Marco, do you think a Trevor is going to
have any plays of over twenty five point favorites?
Speaker 1: And we'll you have more than two totals in there?
What do you think?
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's gonna have a couple of favorites in there.
Speaker 6: The highlight of my Saturday last week, yeah, was my
North Texas game that you know won fifty nine to ten.
Speaker 3: Yes, when they went to halftime, you know, And I
don't know if.
Speaker 6: I switched channels or if they went to studio to them,
but I saw my man Trevor there, you know, talking
about games in the scores.
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, hey, trev remember I had North Texas.
That's right, That's what I'm saying to the street.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we talked to Trevor on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: We said we're got to find a way for him
to give it like a subtle shout out to us.
You're during one of the broadcasts, so maybe it's Trevor,
like whoever you got this week?
Speaker 1: You know you shout out like meme green from Marco.
Speaker 5: Man that green is me.
Speaker 1: It's Dangelo agreed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, okay, quarterback didn't not worry. He was storing.
It's luck. He was playing Marco Polo.
Speaker 2: Oh there it is, all right, brother, give us your
three best college who you got?
Speaker 4: All right? Arizona State is getting two and a half
points at Baylor on Saturday, and I like the sun
Devils plus the points. I think the wrong team is
favored here, Arizona State. People remember that the heartbreaking loss
at Mississippi State, which I think is going to be
a lot better than people expected coming into the season.
But Arizona State had a ninety five yard our nine
minute drive to score the go ahead field goal with
a minute and a half to go, and then Mississippi
State with thirty seconds to go through a fifty eight
yard touchdown pass and Arizona State either had a bad
coller or a bad busted coverage because there was no
safety deep, not one, not one single deep safety, and
so Mississippi State hit it. And I think that's what
people think that Arizona State is not that good, but
they are. And this is a matchup that favors Arizona
State in a lot of ways. One of them is
Arizona State's running game that Pro Football Focus has in
the top five in the nation in terms of efficiency
and effectiveness. And Baylor's rushing defense has been awful. Now,
I gave up three hundred yards on the ground to Auburn,
and Auburn is going to run a lot against a
lot of people, but overall, Baylor's front is just not
good at stopping to run. I think Arizona State can
control the run. Also, I think that Sawyer Robertson, the
Baylor quarterback, has been fantastic, but I don't think he'll
have much of a running game to lean on. He's
going to have to do everything with his arm and
when he will move the ball between the twenties but
Arizona State excels in the red zone. On defense, they
tighten up, but they don't let you score touchdowns very often.
And Arizona State's offense excels in the red zone. When
they get down there, they do score touchdowns a lot.
So you got stalled drives by Baylor's offense and their
defense will be on the field getting steamrolled. I think
that Arizona State plus the points is to play. Then
I've got, of course, a big favorite here, just for
Marco's Say, USC is laid eighteen and a half at
home against Michigan State. Now, I had the USC laid
a big number out pur due and USC decided to
allow Purdue to cover that at the end, and I'm
a little steamed about that. But there's a couple of
reasons why I like this. First of all, USC is
at home, and Lincoln Riley, the coach, knows that he
is on the a relatively warm seat, if not a
hot seat, for his job because of the first couple
of years of lack of production when he got there.
So I think he's gonna want to give to the
home crowd a reason to be happy that they came
and want to come back. Another reason is injuries to
Michigan State. They've got injuries on the offensive line, their
best receiver, their best running back are either going to
be out or questionable, so they'll be playing banged up
if they play at all. And I think that you
combine all that Michigan State gave up a ton of
passing yards to Boston College in the game that they
won in overtime, I think USC is just going to
score a whole lot.
Speaker 5: Of points on these guys very quickly. So I say
lay the points with USC and then Delaware Love Delaware
gay the Fighting Blue Heads.
Speaker 4: They're getting five and a half at Florida International, and
I like Delaware plus the points for Florida International. They're
not used to a whole lot of success, and they
had a bunch of success last week. They'd beat their
rival Florida. It's been the first time in many years
that they beat Florida Atlantic. Florida International is three and
zero against the spread this time. It's been many years
since they've been three and zero against the spread. I
just don't know that they're going to keep the emotion
up for a fourth game in a row, and from
a matchup standpoint, the past defense of Florida International is awful.
The past offense of Delaware is excellent, and so I
think both the spot and the matchup favor Delaware plus
five and a half.
Speaker 2: All right, Trevor Mannett's coming strong, Marco, what do you
got on the college side?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to start off. We talked about them
briefly earlier in the show. You've got UNLV on the
road at Miami of Ohio. I just think this is
a horrible spot for UNLV. I know they're three and
oh and they can go four to oh in non
conference games for the first time I think in history
of the school. But that week off, I think it's
a momentum stopper. I think the stock is a little
bit too high on UNLV right now because people are
looking at that UCLA win. In name wise, you know,
they manhandled UCLA, but as we said, UCLA is not good.
And what were the other two games they played, Sam
Euston State and Idaho State. Yes, they get upset on Saturday.
I don't even know if you can call it an upset.
Then you go game number two for me Utah and
I'm a little scared because few of us like Utah
this week, but I go back to Utah. They were
built to be a physical team, dominate the line of
scrimmage both sides of the ball that way, and that
was their success the last couple of years in the
Pac Twelve because they played in a conference that was
all offense. You know, finesse type teams don't want to
play smash mile football. Nobody liked playing Utah, and I
think that's what you're gonna see with these Big twelve schools.
I know Texas Tech they spent a lot of money
to get the team they got this year, but they're
going to run into a buzz saw at Utah.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and lay.
Speaker 6: The points with Utah and for the last one, and
this will probably be the last time I look at
this team if they don't get the job done this week.
Florida is on the do not bet list the rest
of the way. But I have to come back with
this team because it is an in state rivalry.
Speaker 3: They're getting over a touchdown.
Speaker 6: I don't think Miami of Florida is as good as
their national ranking.
Speaker 3: They're not a top five team to me.
Speaker 6: Florida could have won that game last week against LSU.
You only lose by ten with five interceptions and one
of them goes back to the house and you still,
you know, ten point loss. I think they hang tough.
You're too many people are gonna try to do the comparison.
Oh look, South Florida beat Florida and Miami beat South Florida,
so they should roll over Florida.
Speaker 3: No, not gonna happen.
Speaker 6: Give me the seven and a half, and don't be
surprised if Billy Napier wins this one out right and
saves his job.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm on two opposite sides of Marco D'Angelo on
the college side, but I will go on to start
with Utah and Texas Tech in this one. I like
Utah in this game. Texas Tech is the most expensive
team that college football can have, well maybe slightly behind
Ohio State, right, Trev, But they are neck and neck
about the most expensive talent that you can buy. And
I'm just not sold on Texas Tech as of yet.
All Right, we're gonna have to see what they got
because this is gonna be their toughest test.
Speaker 1: They're going on the road. And here's the thing.
Speaker 2: About this Utah is one of those teams that has
more returning talent than probably any team in all of
college football, and Texas Tech is one of the ones
that has the least amount because they have all these
transfers they got in the portal and they bought players
coming from all these other programs, but they really didn't
get anybody from stellar programs. You got someone from Northwestern,
you got someone from from North Carolina, and et cetera.
Speaker 1: Et cetera.
Speaker 2: Is what are these guys going to do in crunch
time if they are in a close game when they
have not experienced anything coming together like this?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: So, I do like Utah and I love the Utah.
Speaker 2: Defense, and they are going to be at home, be
it a morning game here on a Saturday morning, they
are going to be ready, and Texas Tech is not
used to seeing this type of defense, especially early on
with this new, reshaped and rebuilt Texas Tech team.
Speaker 1: Right what you got to look out for is Devin Dampier.
Speaker 2: Okay, finally they have got a quarterback that can actually
complete passes and also run as well too. He is
a dual threat. He can run, he can pass. This
guy's averaging about eighty five yards per game on the ground,
and then they've got a slew of running backs led
by way Shawn Parker as well too. So I love
the offense. We know what the defense is all about
for Utah, and I will lay the three and a
half and just not firm believer on Texas Tech. I
think they're getting way too much premature hype early on
in the season.
Speaker 1: I am gonna go with my man, Dan Mullen.
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna have a good meal, you know,
down there, he's gonna find some place there outside of Miami,
of Ohio, wherever the heck they're located, right, And the
UNLV's only laying two and a half here.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, this team is zero and two. And
I get it.
Speaker 2: You played a couple bigger teams. Okay, you lost to
Rutgers and that's fine. But there's no way in the
world I'm gonna be a bank on Daykwon Finn Marco,
you want daycon Quinn is your quarterback?
Speaker 1: Go ahead?
Speaker 2: How many touchdowns in two games has he accounted for?
It's the big Z zero zero all right, now, he's
an interception machine.
Speaker 1: You can have him.
Speaker 2: I really like what UNLV is doing here all right,
Anthony Condera is fantastic. Jaydon Thomas one of the lone
UNLV returners. He's a monster, all right. He's already gained
a close to three hundred yards on the ground. They're
gonna go into Miami and they are gonna beat this team.
They're gonna roll over this team. And remember UNLV is
better than people expect and better than they think. Yes,
they beat UCLA and they pounded UCLA. Miami of Ohio
is nothing special in the MAC. So lay two and
a half with UNLV, no problem whatsoever. And I know
what you're saying about Florida in theory and the name.
The Gators make a little bit of sense, all right.
Their quarterback through five interceptions last week. I get that.
But this Miami Hurricane team is a legit top five,
top six team. I'm gonna say it, and I'll lay
to eight and a half with Miami because of Carson
Beck because they do have a better quarterback than Florida,
all right.
Speaker 1: I like Florida's defense.
Speaker 2: This should be a game where Florida performs much better
than they did against LSU. But when you line up
on both sides of them all the way, I look
at it. I like Miami here, and I think Miami
can win this game by double digits because they are
better on offense and defense and special teams.
Speaker 1: Trevor, can I get a witness?
Speaker 5: Goodness?
Speaker 4: I stayed away from this one because I agree with
both you and Marco on this, So you know, I
just yo yo back and forth. So I'm very interested
to see which one of you guys wins the food bet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think there is a food bet.
You know.
Speaker 2: This is a game that I'm picking for the for
the contest, I'll be on Miami in the teaser or
money line. It is a big number, but I know
there are some people that think that this is going
to be a double digit thing.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 2: But for the sake of this, I'll go ahead and
land NFL side real quick, trev What do you got?
Speaker 4: Atlanta is laying five and a half at the Carolina Panthers.
I like the Falcons in this one in part because
Carolina is awful, but now they're worse because they lost
two starting offensive linemen, Robert Hunt and Austin Corbett in
the last game and they are on Injia reserve now,
and so you've got Bryce Young who has already committed
five turnovers in two games, and he'll be playing behind
an offensive line now that's going to be even worse
than they were. Plus Carolina doesn't stop the run at all.
The Falcons with Bjeon Robinson and Tyler Algerr running the
ball exceptionally, well, I think it's a terrible matchup for Carolina,
and Carolina is weakened on the offensive line. So given
the Falcons and lay the points, then my old favorite,
you know, Marco, you know I'm two and one I
think right now on the totals, and we can't let
that stand, can we. Mark, I've got to give you
a couple of totals that I can lose both of
them and get underwater on the totals. So here are
two totals now. So one of them is Houston at Jacksonville.
The total is forty four and a half. There's two
reasons they like this. One is that Houston has gone
under in each of the last two games, and I
picked them in each of the last two games to
go under, So yay Texans. Their offensive line is still
banged up, their receiving corps is still banged up. They
can't run the ball at all, and Jacksonville has.
Speaker 5: Been leaning on run. Their ground game.
Speaker 4: Is averaging about one hundred and seventy yards per game
right now to open the season, and I think they'll
continue to hand it off against Houston, and I believe
that that will slow the game down. The Texas defense
is very, very good, and I just think that Houston's
going to give us.
Speaker 5: Three unders in a row, and then I've got an
over just to give Marco something to laugh about. The
Cowboys and the Bears. The total is forty nine and
a half.
Speaker 4: You've got two defenses that are averaging each about thirty
plus points per game given up in the first two
games of the season so far. Both of them have
injury problems in the secondary, all kinds of defensive problems.
And you've got Caleb Williams for the Bears quarterback is
looking pretty good right now, like he's finally starting to
get it. And Dak Prescott of the Cowboys has started
off on a scorching pace against poor defenses.
Speaker 6: Give me the over all, right, Marco, what he got, Well,
I'm gonna start it off with the Vikings. We're gonna
take the battle of the injured quarterbacks. The difference in
this game for me is the defense. Minnesota has the
superior defense, and I think they'll shut down Jake Browning.
So I'll go ahead and lay the points with my Minnesota.
Next one, Denver and the Chargers. The Chargers, man, you
talk about a tough opening schedule. You play in Brazil,
then you come have to play the Raiders a division
game on Monday Night football, their home opener with their
new coach. They get away with the win, and right
now the stock can't be any higher on the Chargers.
I like Denver. I'll be on Denver plus the two
and a half. I think they win this game to
put the division in chaos. And for the final one,
I'm gonna go with Chicago and the.
Speaker 3: Wrong team's favored here.
Speaker 6: Okay, I think people have overreacted to the Lions putting
fifty two points up on the Bears last week. Dan Campbell,
in my opinion, he's somebody that rhymes with the word sass.
With what he did last week running to score up
on his former offensive coordinator, he want to true prove
a point. In my opinion, the Bears are not as
bad as they looked last week. I think they win
this game. Remember all you gotta remember Russell Wilson had
the best day of his life the career passing against
this Dallas defense.
Speaker 2: All right, I am gonna go against as I like
to say, two phony two to zero teams. All right,
Philadelphia is favored by three and a half of the Rams.
What is wrong with this line, guys? Something is definitely
wrong with this line. This is the defending champions, This
is the best team in football right now. Three and
a half against the Rams. Why should we get excited
about the Rams? They beat the Texans and the Titans?
Are you kidding me? And that opener against the Texans,
right against the against the Texans, they were life and
death to win that game.
Speaker 1: If it went for CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud and the mistakes that the that the Texans made,
the Rams probably should have.
Speaker 1: Lost that home opener. Right.
Speaker 2: No, No, Philly minus three and a half is not
a problem. Don't overthink this one. The Rams traveling cross country?
Are people buying into this?
Speaker 1: Oh? This is a revenge game from the playoffs last year?
Is that?
Speaker 3: Whether?
Speaker 2: Thank you forget about that? Philly lay it no problem?
And another short line here is the San Francisco forty
and airs against Arizona. Mac Jones, I'm gonna say it, people,
that's right. Mac Jones is better than brock Party.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: If we're looking at the body of work that we
saw from brock Party in the opening week before he
got hurt, and going back to last year, come on,
Mac Jones, son of a coach. Okay, mac Jones had
a bad situation in New England and still looked okay.
Now he's with San Francisco. He's got Christian McCaffrey, all right.
Juwan Jenning's getting a little bit more healthy. Brandon Ayuk's
gonna be back here in a couple of weeks, right, are.
Speaker 1: You kidding me?
Speaker 2: The Niners are at home and they're only laying two
and a half to Arizona, who beat the Saints and
the Panthers.
Speaker 1: Are we supposed to get excited about.
Speaker 2: Lay it with San Francisco and then Monday night football
will be at who Songs, Come on out and join us.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 2: Baltimore and Detroit, I'm with you, Marco, not believing in Detroit.
Speaker 1: I'm laying it with Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson Jim Harbaugh, a better coaching staff, better personnel
on both sides of the ball, more continuity, especially from
a coaching standpoint between offensive defensive coordinator and head coach
and Harbaugh. Baltimore a short number to lay against the Lions.
With the Lions looking more like the team we saw
in the opening week, We're gonna see what they did
against the Bears last week. As Marco said, running up
the score against an inferior opponent. I say Baltimore will
get the money. Here there are our best bets. Go
