Speaker 1: It's football Friday and time for the weekend's action. Here's
but best bets, giving you our best bets. Oh yes,
our weekly treats. Right with our crew. Here Jay Schrader
in the house, the quarterback and snapping to him, the
one and only Trevor maddicch former Washington Slash Redskins. Not teammates,
but in the same genre. What's going on, trev.
Speaker 2: Right, how are you doing, mamma?
Speaker 1: We're doing great. So again, how come you never had
the pleasure of snapping to Jay Schrader? That's what I
want to know.
Speaker 3: We didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we caned on the team when they only allowed
good looking people.
Speaker 1: There you go, man, all right? And then of course
Marco's here with us. Uh. Let's check it out, guys,
trev you start us off the college side. Three best
college plays.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let me start with wake Forest plus six
and a half at Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech last week
had a huge win against NC State. That was the
week after their coach got fired, and so they were
fired up and they got gone. But I don't think
they're good enough to sustain it. Wake Forest, on the
other hand, was a two point conversion away from beating
Georgia Tech in their last game, and they got a
blew a lead and then blew the two point conversion,
and they'll be frustrated and know that they're better than
their record shows. And I think Virginia or excuse me,
wake Forest defense will be the dominant units in this game.
And I like wake Forest plus six and a half
at Virginia Tech. Then let's go to the map. Miami
in Ohio was laying four and a half at Northern Illinois,
and both teams are, you know, have got a one
to three record, but Miami has played a lot better
in those games than Northern Illinois half and Miami has
a stream going on. They are nine to one against
to spread in the last ten games against Northern Illinois.
And this game is at Northern Illinois where the Huskies
are five twenty two and two against the spread in
their last home game. So I'm going to ride two
trends with Miami of Ohio, plus I just think they're
the better team in late four and a half. Then
we've got Texas Tech laying eleven points, eleven and a
half points, I'm sorry at Houston. And the thing about Houston,
the Bolt. These teams are four and oh, Houston's defense
has played quite well, but they haven't have faced anything
like Texas Tech. And what really I think is still
going underrated nationally on the Red Raiders is that they
went up to Utah two weeks ago and won the
line of scrimmage against the Utes. And this is the
youth that's got multiple First Shrine Draft choices on the
line on the offense and defensive line combined. And Kyle Whindehad,
the youth's coach, said after the game he never would
have guessed that they would have lost the line of scrimmage. Well,
Houston hasn't played anybody remotely like Utah so far this year,
and I think Texas Tech is gonna win the line
of scrimmage on the way to covering that eleven and
a half Rother Handle it.
Speaker 1: All right, Trevor Mann, It's coming strong. Of course. You
can see Trevor on ESPN College Football all weekend long.
JA sch Raider a QB what you got on the
college side for Saturday.
Speaker 4: On the college side, I'm gonna go with Texas even
though you're giving up five and a half points over
that Florida team. I just think it's time for Texas
to kick it in gear. That's the bottom line. They
haven't played really well. I think they're gonna get better
as Gear goes on.
Speaker 3: So I like Texas there. Then we're gonna stay in Florida.
And I'm gonna go with Miami.
Speaker 4: Okay, man, I think they're gonna get the win over
Florida State, and you know, same thing, Miami's gonna kick
it into Gear. I think they got too much there.
Then my last one, I'm gonna stay with the hometown
group here. I'm going you and LB, oh you n LB.
Gonna stay here with the hometown crew and root on
the revs over where a wyom in.
Speaker 1: This week playing in Laramie in the altitude or whatever.
Speaker 5: It doesn't bother you, huh, I don't now. I like
this is not November. Yeah, it's not November. It's gonna
be cool. But I like the way the reps are playing,
I really do.
Speaker 4: I think they're playing well, and I think, you know,
just be a good time for them to make a
statement up there in Wyoming.
Speaker 1: Ture, have you got to comment on any of those
college plays?
Speaker 2: Listen, you and lv's offense is one of the best
in the country. Their defense is struggling to catch up.
But boy, you've got to keep up on the other
side of the ball with your own offense if you're
gonna have a chance to cover or beat unlv A.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, Marco Deangel, what you got.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start off with Texas A and M. I'm
gonna lay the points with them. Fourteen. I think it's
actually up to fourteen and a half.
Speaker 1: I saw fifteen and a half earlier today.
Speaker 6: I've given us out on a lot of shows. I
like Texas A and M a lot in this. When
Mississippi State played their guts out last week against Tennessee
that overtime, this is one of those lose the same
game twice, Texas A and M. That offense is gonna
roll in this one. We're going against each other, my
buddy Jay, We're in Florida, but I'm on the other side.
Speaker 1: Oh some chicken wings.
Speaker 6: I'm going with Florida State. I went against Florida State
last week with Virginia. I loved the situation with Virginia
because I thought Florida State was gonna get caught looking ahead. Well,
they fell behind in that game, but They showed me
some guts coming back on the road in losing in overtime.
I think they get the job done. I know Miami
Florida has done a great job so far. I'm still
not sold on them being a top five team. And
you still got Mario crystaball there, or as I like
to say, get crystal balled. I'm gonna go ahead and
take Florida State plus the four and a half and
the last one Nebraska. If this game would not have
had a week off from when they played Michigan, I
wouldn't do it. They've had two weeks to prepare and
get that forget about that gut wrenching loss to Michigan.
Speaker 3: They're gonna roll.
Speaker 6: I love the quarterback for Nebraska. He is putting. He's
actually put up Heisman type numbers. Had he won against Michigan,
we would be talking about him in Heisman Race four.
You're gonna see a big game from him on Saturday.
Look for Nebraska, the best passing defense in the country.
Take Nebraska lately eleven and a half?
Speaker 1: All right, trev Any comments on Marco's place.
Speaker 2: I agree with him, and on Rayola the quarterback for Nebraska,
I mean He's just getting better and better all the time.
And he could have got anywhere, literally anywhere in the country,
and he chose to go back to Nebraska. His father
played there, and I think that he is a big
advantage for the corn Husks in this game.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, guys, I am gonna go to
the Commander in Chief Trophy Game or one of them,
Air Force and Navy. Navy's favored by twelve and a half.
They're undefeated. I know Trev likes. We talked about this
the other day. I'm gonna take Air Force in twelve
and a half here, all right. Air Force loses to
Hawaii last week, but I'm gonna take the old mindset
of my good friend Marco D'Angelo and say, I think
they were looking ahead to this big game against Navy. Right, Yeah,
they lost to Hawaii, but they moved the ball perfectly,
fine and everything. Okay, Navy won handily last year. All right,
but let's remember this. Air Force played Boise State very
tough a couple weeks ago, only less lost by twelve,
So I think Boise is much better than Navy. They
can keep it close, and it's a revenge game as
well for Air Force. Give me air Force, give me
a lot of ground and pound. And actually air Force
can actually throw the ball this year too. Their quarterback
is pretty good, so I think they can keep it close,
maybe even win the game. Out right, I'll take air
Force on the road plus twelve and a half. Louisville
against Virginia again, I am this is the Marco DiAngelo
picks right now? Right? What is Virginia right now? Marco
gottens out, Oh there it is. I'm taking the fat
and sassy Marco DiAngelo approach, because Marco is fat, but
he's really sassy.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: No, they upset Florida State last week, okay, and I
think great spot for Louisville. Louisville beat your pitt Panthers
another This is all tied into Marco here, right, Okay.
They held Pit one for ten on third down conversions,
one of four on fourth down conversions. They hammered a
good James Madison team a few weeks back. Louisville stays
undefeated a late to six and a half. Think Virginia
little too spent from that celebration in Charlottesville, you know
last week, and then finally here we go. This is
my Trevor maddis play Oklahoma lay in forty five and
a half against the worst team in college football? And
who's the worst team in college football? Trav State? You
got that right? See I remember that Kent State is
just the word. They're terrible, right. They gave up sixty
two to A and m sixty six to Florida State.
They barely had two hundred yards in both of those games.
Oklahoma State hasn't run it up on anybody this year.
I think now's a good time. But to keep it
in the Marco realm I know Marco's doing uh oh,
look ahead next week to the Red River shootout. Maybe
not a good spot for Oklahoma now. They need to
get warmed up here. They're gonna put sixty on the board.
I'll lay it with ou, all right, Trim NFL real good?
Speaker 3: What do you got?
Speaker 2: Okill NFL? I feel terrible about my fix. Marco is
gonna laugh so hard his stomach is gonna hurt because
I'm starting out laying ten and a half with Detroit
at Cincinnati. And the thing about Detroit is that they're
humming on both sides of the ball. Their offense is prolific,
their defense has been one of the better defenses in
the league so far this year, and the Bengals are
just a disaster. I mean, they're just an utter train wreck.
They're near the bottom of the NFL in a lot
of important advanced metrics on the offensive been defensive side
of the ball. Joe Burrow's out, Browning is in, and
I just don't see any way for the Bengals to
keep up, especially because their offensive line is futured at
pass protection. I think the Lions are going to just
have a buffet on that Bengals offensive line on the
way to Browning at quarterback, and I just don't see
how the Bengals are going.
Speaker 3: To keep up.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to lay the points with the Lions,
even though Marco is going to laugh at me like crazy.
And then, of course I've got a couple of totals.
Last week, I was two and oh with the totals.
I think I'm five and two right now. It's keeping
me afloat as these totals. So Minnesota is playing Cleveland
in London. Minnesota has been in the UK for a
week because they played in Ireland last week, and the
Browns are flying over there to play in the Browns
just switched quarterbacks. Joe Flacco is out, Dylan Gabriel is
in the group of Browns are missing both their starting
offensive tackles. Going against the Blitze heavy Minnesota defense, which
is Blitz's one of the most in the NFL. Gabriel
can run around and move, but he's not quite as
fast as people give him credit for. And I think that,
you know, the Browns are going to have a whole
lot of trouble contributing to any kind of a total.
Minnesota's offensive line is just as banged up, and I
think Cleveland's defensive feast as well. I just don't see
either offensive line doing much to slow down the opposing defense.
And unless there are sack fumbles or you know, pressure
interception for short fields, I see this being a punt fest.
And I think under thirty five and a half, even
though it's really weird, I think I like that. And
by the way, here's your trend over the past decade.
Totals below thirty seven are eighty eight, fifty four and
two to the under. And so I'm going to go
with both the matchup and the trend on.
Speaker 1: That that's a Marco DiAngelo's stat right now, look at
trap coming strong. Listen.
Speaker 2: I can barely see Marco's done stuff in the distance
up ahead, So I got to do something here. Then
we got another table right, so this again, Marco is
gonna laugh at me. But the Cowboys and the Jets,
the total is forty eight and a half. Cowboys have
one of the best offenses in the league, the best
in terms of yards per game. They have one of
the worst defenses in the league. The Jets defense is
just about as bad, and the Jets offense, well, not
as good as the Cowboys has a quarterback who can
run in justin fields, and they've got guys their wide
receiver in running back who can get into the open
field and make some things happen. And I think it's
almost an automatic over on the Cowboys anymore. But I
think that with the Jets ability to score against the
Cowboys defense because the quarterback can run, I think over
forty eight point five is the pick I want, all.
Speaker 1: Right, QB, what you got?
Speaker 4: Well, you guys, Trevor, You're not the only one who's
gonna get laughed at, because when they hear my picks,
they're going to be like which division did you play in?
And they're probably gonna wonder here because I'm actually picking
the Cowboys over the Yet. Can you believe that came
out of my mouth that you know the Cowboys are
are gonna win?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: I just I just don't see the Jets hanging in there.
Speaker 4: And look if you thought that was a shock, I'm
going Giants too. No, we are gonna go to Marco
scratching his head over here.
Speaker 3: Everything else, you know, they're.
Speaker 1: Just Marco was get back on his tractor.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna go Cowboys, Giants, and yes, we're not done.
Because you talked about one of the worst teams in
college football. I'm gonna go against I'm gonna take the
Dolphins over and the Panthers because the bathrooms are just
a complete disaster. They don't have a clue what they're
doing right there. So there you go, Cowboys, Giants and Dolphins. Yes,
I said Cowboys and Giants. Yes, Marco, the floor is yours.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, we're gonna you're gonna put your money
where your mouth is because you and I are opposite
three games this week, so we're gonna go best out
of three.
Speaker 1: Okay, best out of three for the food.
Speaker 3: That sounds good.
Speaker 6: All right, here we go winner number one for Marco.
Speaker 3: We all we all win because we go to dinner.
Speaker 6: I am going with New Orleans. This is their week
to win. They had their win last or Giants had
to win last week. Jackson Dart, Yes, undefeated as a
starting quarterback. Just hump the breaks, Hump the breaks. Did
you look at who they play next week?
Speaker 1: The Giants?
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 6: Okay, obviously they play the Eagles on Thursday night. This
is what we call a sandwich game. We're going with
New Orleans?
Speaker 1: Can I take a twenty second time out? Can I
get a time out? Referee? As a player, do you
ever look ahead to who you were playing next week? No?
Please tell him this?
Speaker 3: Well, you know the guy's never put you know what on?
Speaker 1: You know I should because I got big ones.
Speaker 2: But all right, what is the bell on that one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? The next one we're going with. I don't know
if we want a bell on that. You're going with Dallas?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 6: So you don't look ahead? Do you ever have a
letdown after a game?
Speaker 3: Dallas is on a roll. They had a tie.
Speaker 1: They had a tie and asked Jerry Jones, it's like
kissing your sister and you would hear Jerry said, he well,
I've never tasted her.
Speaker 4: No, here's the reason I went with Dallas. I think
their offense can score. I don't know if the Jets
can keep up with them.
Speaker 6: Well, they got that defense, they got to contend with.
Dallas gave everything they had last week, and that was
a big game emotionally for with Micah Parsons coming back
the whole nine yards. No, I don't want any part.
Speaker 3: Of Dallas this week.
Speaker 1: I have the Jets.
Speaker 6: And the last one trivia question, who is starting quarterback
in the NFL that is seventeen and four and his
last twenty one starts in the regular seas.
Speaker 3: Jamel heard no, Sam Donald, Sam Darnold.
Speaker 6: I am going with Seattle. I am gonna lay the
three and a half against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay's had
all tough games that had to come from behind in
every game that came up short last week. I'm taking Seattle.
I think this team is flying under the radar.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I mentioned this earlier in our segment
with John Murray Favorite game on the Board. The Baltimore
Ravens talk about a line adjustment that is ridiculous. The
Baltimore Ravens, Yes, are an underdog at home against the
Houston Texans. No, they're not playing the Chiefs, they're not
playing the Bills, They're not playing the Eagles. They're playing
the Houston Texans. No, Lamar Jackson, no problem. This line
has moved over twelve points and Baltimore is now getting
two and a half at home. I'm fine with Cooper Rush.
I'm fine. He's playing enough big games, just like I
was fine with Max Jones for the forty nine ers
last night. I'm okay with that, all right. Too much
is made to the Baltimore deep's given up so many points.
You know why they gave up points. They played Buffalo,
they played Detroit, they played Kansas City, three of the
top offenses in football. Houston is nowhere near there. They're
not the same sentence, they're not the same zip code,
area code hemisphere. Are you kidding me? Yes? No, no, No,
I'm too much line movement overreaction. Raven's a home underdog
to the Texans. Come on, kind of get a witness
Baltimore easy, no problem, Chargers in Washington. This seems like
kind of a no brainer, and it was probably gonna
be a pretty popular pick, right. Washington has struggled defensively,
Daniels is coming back after missing the last two games. Okay, fine,
but the Chargers were upset last week against the Giants.
I think it's a great bounce back game for Justin Herbert.
Jim Harbaugh. I'll take him, you know, from the coaching
standpoint here, I just believe the Chargers on both are
better on both sides of the ball. Sorry, Trev, Sorry, Jay,
I know it's your old team kind of to a
certain degree. Probably gotta go Chargers only laying three and
a half off at home, and I understand, well it
would be a lot of Washington fans maybe whatever I mean,
But I will take the Chargers, okay. And then Buffalo
against New England. All right. The Bills are averaging thirty
three points per game. New England's pass defense is ranked
twenty six in the National Football League. And remember who
they've played so far, the Raiders. Does that passing game
scare you?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Miami? Does that passing game scare you no? Carolina?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's terrifying.
Speaker 1: And they're currently now I'm gonna point de Marco the
Pittsburgh Steelers no, I have deal. Yes, this is a
different beast this week. All right, I'm not buying any
Drake may love. It's Sunday night football at Buffalo. No
problem for the Bills. I'll lay at eight and a
half against the Pats. Those are best bets, all right.
You can check it all out at the website. They're
all up there right now, including our other handicapper extraordinaire,
Scott Spritzer. I don't know what Scott is is worrying
if he's wearing jockstraps or not, like Marco claims, you
know to you know whatever. But anyway, that's up there.
Gil be the intern as well too, All up there
at TC martinshow dot com. All right, Trevor, some party words.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that Jay wears Dallas Cowboys boxers. I am
plomatized the Washington Redskins cornerback.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm not wearing the boxers. We just put on
a pair of socks for one game, that's all we.
Speaker 6: Better, Trevor, who you betting on me or j I said,
who are you betting on Jay or me?
Speaker 2: On the head to head Listen with the ladies, I'll
bet on you for the dollars.
Speaker 1: The answer obviously, Trevor's been following your social media. Trev
have a great weekend, man. We'll be watching for you
on your ESPN football coverage all weekend. Brother, Thank you
very much. Great stuff than Jess. There it is, Trevor.
Matt is simply the best, isn't he the best?
Speaker 3: The best?
Speaker 4: What do you mean, lineman, aren't supposed to be calling
me out? On my side, big.
Speaker 3: Dog calling me out.
Speaker 1: This guy's got the x's and o's. Does he have
a dialed in or why he does?
Speaker 3: He does know?
Speaker 1: Trevor can just do his his own handicapping showdown. I
mean now he's quoting trends.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's good.
Speaker 1: That's good stuff.
