1
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,799
Speaker 1: Welcome into Wager talkslast call. Sorry for the delay this morning.

00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:11,400
We've had some wonderful audio and tech issues. You guys

00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:13,240

4
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:15,720
I apologize for that, but I do have some sharp

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:18,679
information from Art to Caesar from the Westgates Superbook. I've

6
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:22,719
also got Teddy Covers and Brian Power on to talk

7
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:26,559
some college basketball and NFL. So we've got a wonderful

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,000
show ahead even despite all of Saturday morning, Like I

9
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,240
need more coffee already, it is what it is. We're

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,840
gonna get right into. You guys have questions, please drop

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,119
them in the chat. You guys know Teddy Covers from

12
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,039
the Opening Line Report. I'll be back with him on

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,000
Monday per usual. Teddy, We've got a pair of NFL

14
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:47,240
games today that we're gonna get into. We're gonna talk

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,079
some college basketball with you as well. But one of

16
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:51,920
my favorite things that we talk about on the Opening

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Line Report because it does help me so much in

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,719
my handicapping, is power rating. So I'm going to make

19
00:00:57,719 --> 00:00:59,640
you divulge a little bit of behind the scenes of

20
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:03,479
Opening Line Report while we've got extra time today because

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,920
I plan on a hard forty five minute show, and

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,799
now we're down one guy, so that means you and

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,359
Brian Power get a little extra FaceTime with me. So, Teddy,

24
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,799
let's get into some of these NFL games right out

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,200
of the gate. Then I'll drop some of the stuff

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,480
from Art to Caesar at the Westgate Superbook, and we'll

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200
take some questions from the chat. Let's talk power ratings.

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,519
These are so crucial to any handicapper's success, especially in

29
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,599
the NFL, so I kind of want you to rattle

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560
through some of these things as far as what you

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,560
like to use. Now, you divulged to me on the

32
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:40,359
opening line report that strength of schedule matters so much

33
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:43,799
more than we realized during the playoffs. And I'm not

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,159
lyed from a public's bathroom, Shawn. I'm at my dad's

35
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:50,519
house like I am every third Saturday every other week.

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,000
I'm just in this tiny extra bedroom trying to keep

37
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:55,760
the chaos that is outside of this room away from

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,719
my microphone.

39
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Good morning, Kelly, how are you today, Teddy?

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm gonna grab an extra little swig of

41
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:06,519
this energy drink and there I'm gonna get my notes

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,080
ready for your power ratings. Even though I've already got them.

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,120
I want a kind of an updated set here going

44
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:14,439
into wild Card weekend. Set us up for some success

45
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,719
here and talk about what you like to utilize as

46
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:20,560
far as a handicapping perspective for power ratings and how

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,439
our audience can learn from you.

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: I will.

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,439
Speaker 3: But first, of course, Kelly, the people like your hungover.

50
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:30,400
Kelly was efforting really hard to get Johnny on the

51
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:33,240
air for about fifty You know, you guys don't see

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,599
what goes on behind the scenes. Luckily I get to

53
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:37,759
be a fly on the wall for this stuff. So

54
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,479
they were trying to work through some computer issues. It

55
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,560
wasn't Kelly being hungover. It was Kelly working really hard

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,840
to try to get Johnny on air, and of course

57
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:47,919
they couldn't figure it out. So that's why I get

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,400
to go first today when it comes to NFL power ratings. Really,

59
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,319
when I moved out to Las Vegas and moved out

60
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:57,800
in nineteen ninety eight, and that was the first thing

61
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,680
that I was like, I want to start making operatings,

62
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,960
you know. Uh So I asked a couple of people,

63
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,599
how do you do it?

64
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: You know?

65
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: That was my question for the pros when I was

66
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:10,680
when I was first getting up to it to be

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,319
in the chat like you guys are now and talking

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,360
to some of the pro he how do I start powers?

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,759
Speaker 2: How to do it?

70
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:18,319
Speaker 3: And the best answer I got was from and I

71
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,439
don't remember who gave it me. They're like, find three

72
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:24,759
sets of power ratings for the same sport, you know,

73
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,039
find you know, use this guy's numbers and that guy's

74
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,680
numbers and the other guy's numbers, turn them into one number,

75
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:31,919
and then it just from there. So you're not taking

76
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,400
any one person individual. You're kind of putting, uh an

77
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:39,199
amalgamation of numbers together, and then you start adjusting. It's

78
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,319
like the first year your rings won't be worth anything,

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240
and they weren't. The second year, they're worth a little something.

80
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:46,319
Speaker 2: By year three, I was.

81
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:48,199
Speaker 3: Real comforable making numbers in the NFL, and I started

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,520
making numbers in college football and the.

83
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: NBA and down the line.

84
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,479
Speaker 3: So with power ratings, it's just you just dive in,

85
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,680
you know, and and team A, team B home field

86
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,439
is my number, where the market number is yes? No,

87
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:05,960
if not, why not? Sometimes your opinion is better than

88
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,639
the market, you know. That's what I look for in

89
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,680
my world is when my opinion is better than the market.

90
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:13,759
You know, is different and better than the market opinion

91
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:15,639
about a team. You know. That's the that's the goal

92
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,079
of all of this KEL is to find teams that

93
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,759
the market is pricing one way and you're seeing in

94
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,399
a different in a different light.

95
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,439
Speaker 2: You talk about.

96
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:26,199
Speaker 3: Strength of schedule, real quick, strength schedule is important only

97
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,720
in one round.

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,079
Speaker 2: The Wildcard round. Really wildcard route.

99
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: Is essentially meaningless. But for the Wildcard round, strength of

100
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,519
schedule has been like if you take the team with

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720
the harder schedule, you cash two out of three tickets.

102
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Over the last thirty years, I mean, it's it's pretty

103
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,360
significant when it comes to and I'm say a little bit,

104
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,839
it's more like sixty four to sixty five percent, but

105
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,920
it's well over sixty percent over a significant sample size.

106
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:53,839
When you find the strength of schedules differentials that are

107
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,600
pretty dramatic.

108
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,759
Speaker 2: Wildcard route only.

109
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well let's get into some of these

110
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,759
really quick, because well there's some fraudulent teams possibly that

111
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,600
are playing this weekend. And I'm curious to hear what

112
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,399
you have to say. Teddy again, if you guys are

113
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,120
just joining us, welcome in. This is the opening line report,

114
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:17,759
not an extended version or so this is the last call,

115
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:20,160
not an extended version of the opening line report. But

116
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,759
this is kind of a preview what you guys can

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480
see with Teddy and I on Mondays as well, because

118
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,399
I do think that this is extremely important Teddy, when

119
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,800
breaking down some of these games, we can talk about

120
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,560
market moves and so forth, but understanding what these teams

121
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,160
should be priced at gives people a better idea of

122
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,600
what they should be betting early or of course up

123
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,759
until late, depending on where the market moves.

124
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that's the advantage of making your

125
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,360
own numbers. You get a sense of you know, before

126
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,959
you make your numbers, that number feel wrong, you know,

127
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,920
and there's lots of numbers.

128
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: Oh that's a trap, you know.

129
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: And when you start making power ratings and making your

130
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,199
own point spreads, you realize, Oh, no, that's just what

131
00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,959
the number is, you know.

132
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: Oh, that's pretty close to the number.

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,399
Speaker 3: Oh, I understand why they're own And it's always with

134
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,040
the road favorites, you know, the road. Oh they're only

135
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:06,560
laying three and a half on the road. Oh they're

136
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,000
only laying four and a half. Oh they're only in

137
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,839
two and a half, and once you start making numbers,

138
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,519
you understand, Oh, that's what the number needs to be.

139
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: That's what the number should be for these games.

140
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: When it comes to this week in the NFL, I'm

141
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,920
in play on three of the six games. I'm not

142
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,160
in play on the other three. So I'm happy to

143
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:27,720
talk about whichever one's you want to talk about. But

144
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:29,959
I ain't gonna. I ain't gonna give it all away

145
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:31,480
to client. I mean, that's why you sign up for

146
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,319
the all access pass. That's why you sign up, you know,

147
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:35,519
client wise, over at wall you talk dot com or

148
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:37,639
on my page will be that buzz backslash tc so

149
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,000
you get all this stuff. But I'm happy to you know,

150
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,360
I'm happy to discuss any of the three games where

151
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:45,079
I'm not where we're not involved with the clients.

152
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Right, All right, Teddy, let's talk about the first game,

153
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,560
because I actually don't know what your client plays are.

154
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,680
Sure hand up, so if I if I misspeak, I'm sorry.

155
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,519
But let's talk about a game that I talked about

156
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:57,600
this morning on mad Don Radio. They call and they say, hey, hell,

157
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,759
we want to talk about the Rams Panthers. I said,

158
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000
why do we Why do you want to talk about

159
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,839
that this is the worst game on the board, and

160
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:06,360
I said, here's the reality. You and I did the

161
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,279
opening line report Rams were minus ten. I did the

162
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:11,920
turned around and did the show with crack. Crack said, yeah,

163
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,079
we laid ten. John Murray on Wednesday said, Yep, the

164
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,759
Sharps took Rams ten. Here's kind of the reality. Are

165
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,560
the Carolina Panthers a little fraudulent at times? Yes, but

166
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,879
they did just beat this team. So let's talk about

167
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:29,480
maybe more of a situational perspective. Matthew Stafford three turnovers

168
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,079
in that game, two interceptions in the first quarter, fumble

169
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:37,079
there late after getting sacked, and Carolina upset everybody in Survivor,

170
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:40,240
right if they laid it with the Rams. Here's kind

171
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,079
of my question. Do when it comes to the playoffs

172
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,040
from a power ratings perspective, you don't get Rich Lane

173
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,639
double digits on the road here, So when.

174
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: There's a double digit's favorite in the NFL and the postseason,

175
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,319
they're double did shocked for a reason, all right, And

176
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:58,360
note this is not a public play. This is the

177
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:04,120
wise guys like laye the points in this the first

178
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:08,680
meeting between these two teams, the Panthers win. Let's call

179
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:12,839
it somewhat fraudulent, all right, if membership, I think they

180
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,800
forced only five third downs for the Rams the whole game.

181
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,560
LA moved the ball up and down the field. They

182
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,839
just turned it over Stafford. I remember the quotes from

183
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:24,720
Matthew Stafford. We were talking about it on the NFL

184
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,399
Opening Line Report first thing Monday morning after that game,

185
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,879
where Matthew Stafford was like, yeah, I didn't play well.

186
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,960
I had a really crappy game, YadA, YadA, YadA. So

187
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,879
Stafford took a lot of the blame on itself. Carolina

188
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,759
was plus three in turnovers, and I'm trying to member

189
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:42,960
there were two or two or three and three of

190
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,080
third downs they are on fourth downs. I should say

191
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,519
they converted all their fourth downs. So basically, they got

192
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,519
a whole bunch of extra possessions in that ballgame and

193
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,240
found a way to win it. We'll give them credit

194
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:54,759
for finding a way to win it. They were not

195
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,919
the better than two teams. They were lucky. You know,

196
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,320
the things broke right for Carolina on that day in

197
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,799
the postseason. You don't necessarily expect that to happen twice.

198
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,039
All Right, LA is the better of these two squads.

199
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,919
But the points spread is the great equalizer, you know.

200
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:15,279
And the Panthers this year have been remarkable in one role, Kelly,

201
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:21,360
and remarkable. You know, they've lost nine games, So after

202
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:25,399
each of their last eight losses the following week, they

203
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,399
came back and covered the points bread Each and every

204
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,600
one of them worked for me in Tampa last time. Boy,

205
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:34,399
they were ugly, wasn't pretty, but they got in under

206
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:38,840
the number, okay, And that speaks to a team's character,

207
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,840
and it speaks to where they're being valued in the marketplace.

208
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,960
When a team goes eight and o ats after a loss,

209
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,399
A the betting markets don't respect that team, and b

210
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,519
they showing a collective resolve to compete, not a collective

211
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,480
you know, when not a team that's you know, gonna

212
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,639
get slapped around a week after the not the Jets

213
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,240
down the stretch, you know, leave it every day by

214
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:06,320
twenty three plus. So when I know a team's gonna

215
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,759
compete and their double digit home dogs, that's the lean.

216
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

217
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,639
Speaker 3: But that I actually put any money on Carolina Hell no, no,

218
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:15,919
And I didn't neither.

219
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,799
Speaker 1: But the contrarian in me, Teddy wants to say, you

220
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,360
guys are out of your minds. This is a large

221
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,320
number against again, a team who wants to be competitive

222
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,279
and who wants to play like I will say that

223
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:30,320
this Carolina team has showed some real tenacity at times.

224
00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:32,919
I mean that New England game comes to mind where

225
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,159
you're like, good grief, could they have played any worse?

226
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,960
But outside of that, I would agree with you they

227
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:42,639
had some valiant losses. Let's keep going through this list

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,240
real quick. Before we get to Brian Power, we're gonna

229
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,759
talk some college basketball and art to Caesar's sent me

230
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,399
like forty two games, so we're gonna go over those

231
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,879
as well. I'll drop those in the chat as well

232
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:53,759
as goes over those with you guys. But Teddy, let

233
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:55,519
me know if you have a play on this one

234
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,600
Green Bay or Chicago. Public's on Chicago, sharps on Green Bay.

235
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,240
I don't know if that is the case here, Teddy.

236
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,080
I was really hoping on Monday. I know the opening

237
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:07,000
Line report audience as well as the bet on it

238
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,720
and last Call audience hates that I talk about teasers,

239
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,519
but they've been so good this year. I was like,

240
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:14,000
please please get me green Bay plus one and a

241
00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:16,080
half and then move the market. Let me get Chicago

242
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,039
plus one and a half so I can tease both sides,

243
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,879
watch this game with my family. By the way, I've

244
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,879
got Bears fans over here, Packers fans over here, and

245
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,639
I'm like, and then I can just sit back and

246
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,679
not care who wins and cash both sides. But that

247
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,919
is not what's gonna get to be the reality here.

248
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,080
The Bears are teasable, but I don't know if I

249
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:39,480
really love the Bears in this spot. Let's talk about

250
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,679
this game if you don't have it enough for sale

251
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,000
for clients, because I'm really intrigued. I think this is

252
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,679
going to be one of the better closer games of

253
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,200
the weekend. I could see this game landing one like

254
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,240
every single book maker does not want it to.

255
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:58,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bears are very teasable, haha, Bears. If you

256
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,000
have a Bears fan of your life, you've been teased

257
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,159
them as long as you've known them, or at least

258
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:05,080
since nineteen eighty five or so. But of course, when

259
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,759
you talk about plus one and a half for the

260
00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:10,120
classic six point teaser, the Wong gets it up over

261
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:12,000
a field goal and then over a touchdown, and that's

262
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,039
what we look for when it comes to teasers is

263
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:17,519
the classic Wong betting strategy of getting the you know,

264
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,440
getting capturing the threes and the sevens with your teaser.

265
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,080
So Chicago certainly in that regard, and this another one. No,

266
00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:27,320
I'm not involved the two games today. I didn't play

267
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,759
either one of.

268
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,799
Speaker 2: Them for the clients. I didn't like either one of them.

269
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: You know, I made a lean to Carolina plus and

270
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:38,960
in this one, I make a lean to the under

271
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,080
and a lien of the packers, and it's a lean.

272
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,200
You know, I'm not getting the betting window, not at

273
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,039
these numbers, you know, not close to these numbers. You

274
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:46,919
already missed it down the total, you know, the total

275
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,720
was as high as forty six and a half. We

276
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:50,519
talked about it, and we did an emergency betting alert

277
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,320
for this total, and it was on the way down.

278
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,399
Speaker 4: I think we might have we did due to the weather.

279
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: You say, you know, listen, I joked about not being

280
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,279
a meteorologist and saying like, hey, listen, we're still you know,

281
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,200
five sixty is away from this. But we did see

282
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,720
that this total was going to be coming down. I apologize, guys.

283
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,840
I do not have my Odds Logic screen open on

284
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240

285

320
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: Sometimes you get a January night in Chicago and it's

321
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,600
really not enjoyable.

322
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:39,399
Speaker 2: It's sold your field nothing.

324
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:44,399
it's not gonna be minus twelve with with you know,

it's a January night at Chicago our doors for three hours,

327
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:55,120
three and a half hours, it'll get nippy.

Speaker 3: Sure, sure, happy to do it. I've breaked down all

334
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:14,360
this stuff, o kel So. I have not yet posted

335
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,159
hoops today. I had to jump in the shower and

336
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,639
get on air. But the hoops that we posted shortly

337
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,519
after we get off air, I'll have plays in NBA

338
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840
and college basketball for today that we'll be posted. You'd

339
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:30,480
like to have him up by nine am. Time might

340
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,480
be by nine thirty, but they'll be up in the

341
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,360
next hour. So we're involved in college We're not involved

342
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,039
in college football anymore. All those games are done now

343
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,200
we have new college football games to think about. We

344
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:42,440
cashed last night with Indiana. That was fun and easy.

345
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,960
We're involved with three plays in the NFL. I did

346
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,919
a five percent big ticket. We pulled it down for

347
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,480
sale because the line has moved too much.

348
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:49,879
Speaker 2: That happens.

349
00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: I have no problem getting it out early and making

350
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,519
sure that my clients get the best of the number,

351
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:56,480
and we've done that in the NFL. But there's still

352
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,679
two plays up on my page for sale, Chargers, Patriots

353
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,799
and Texans Steelers for Monday nights. So I'm happy to

354
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:08,919
give you my take, and I'm leaning hard on the

355
00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:10,960
Jags Bills. I just had I haven't pulled the trigger.

356
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Why was like, I love the Jags. I gave it

357
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:17,679
out of my best bet on bat on it. I said,

358
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,159
here is why I broke down the whole thing. I said,

359
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,440
I don't trust this Bills team. I think that they've

360
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,679
kind of regressed a little bit. Outside of Josh Allen,

361
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:28,240
of course, and you know, John Murray kind of put

362
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,960
this little seat in my head that said, if McDermott

363
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:33,200
loses this game, he's going to get fired. And I

364
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,600
thought that's a really interesting, you know, just a situation.

365
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,639
It doesn't it doesn't hold any weight, but I thought

366
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:41,639
that was interesting. And then he proceeds to tell me, oh,

367
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:43,519
but the Jags are the biggest public play of the week,

368
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:46,600
and I thought, I was like, come on, Murray, like,

369
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:48,679
that's not what I wanted to hear. When I said

370
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:51,639
how much I love the Jags, I was hoping that

371
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:54,039
I could tease the Jags and one side of the

372
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:56,720
Green Bay game together. And then, of course, now Jags

373
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:59,519
is down to one and probably even headed towards a

374
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:02,320
pick them here shortly. So I'm kind of curious to

375
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,599
see what you think about this bill's Jags game. I've

376
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,400
already got Jags plus one and a half in bocket, so.

377
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tease it for just a second. But so

378
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:12,519
someone asked me this the other day. I don't know

379
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:13,680
if I was talking about with you or so, but

380
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,440
would you rather have a public play to faid, the

381
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:18,440
number one public play to fade or the number one

382
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,799
wise guy play to bet? And I'm like, I'll always

383
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,640
take the number one public play to fade more than

384
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,400
the white you know.

385
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,599
Speaker 2: Because the wise guys wanted.

386
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,799
Speaker 3: They're very comfortable betting fifty games, you know, or you know,

387
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:31,960
betting twenty games and going eleven and nine, you know,

388
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,720
boom done and getting the best of the number that

389
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,640
you didn't necessarily get. The public plays to fade, the

390
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,640
number one public played. If you fade that every week,

391
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,480
you're gonna catch more than you don't. I would think

392
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:45,599
more than you your you know, fifty five percent of

393
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:48,119
the wise guy's dragon hit. So fade the public for

394
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,680
me is better than the back then the bet on

395
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:54,160
the wise guys. When it comes to bills, Jacks. From

396
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,839
a side standpoint, I'm not touching this game, not a chance.

397
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,640
This game is gonna come. I'll tell you flat out,

398
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,839
whoever has the ball last.

399
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: Is going to win.

400
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:05,039
Speaker 3: You know, we got two good offenses that are gonna

401
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:09,240
move the football, and I would I would expect. And

402
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,759
when we think about the Jacksonville down twenty seven nothing

403
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:16,640
to the Chargers in their last playoff game, rallying back.

404
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,599
Speaker 2: If you watch that game, you'll never forget it.

405
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. I didn't. They were down twenty seven nothing.

406
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,240
I went to bed. I was pissed off. I had Jacksonville.

407
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,519
I woke up the next one. I was like, this

408
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,720
is that's broken. Something's wrong. They won that football game.

409
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,920
And so I kind of wonder if I used all

410
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:34,119
my jags good juju.

411
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:35,519
Speaker 4: On that one.

412
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: But that's that speaks to the character of Trevor Lawrence

413
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:41,359
a company. You know, Daxvill's been a character team.

414
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: This year.

415
00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: They take, they taken punches and punches back and punch back.

416
00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:48,720
Buffalo has had an extraordinary amount of posting the success

417
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,400
all right, They've won multiple playoff games every year in

418
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,720
the McDermot era. Firing McDermott again when you think about

419
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:59,519
what where this builds franchise was when McDermott got there,

420
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:03,799
which is twenty five years of futility, you know, I

421
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:07,000
mean embarrassing futility. You know, Fluty Flakes was the last

422
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,119
good thing that happened in Buffalo before we got there,

423
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:11,920
which is you know, turn of the century stuff, two thousand,

424
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,119
two thousand and two, whenever, you know. I mean, they've

425
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,119
been very bad for a very long time. And McDermott

426
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,000
changed that from day one essentially, so I got nottier

427
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:24,400
respect for him as a head coach. That being said,

428
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,079
you know, there there are issues for Buffalo in terms

429
00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:31,640
of you know, we questioned the defense. We questioned the

430
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,960
I certainly questioned the run defense. I questioned their ability

431
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,920
to you know, we questioned the receiving corps a little

432
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,440
bit for the Bills. What I do believe in in

433
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:44,160
this game is these two quarterbacks. All right, Trevor Lawrence

434
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,680
is playing the best football of his career. It's not close,

435
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:51,279
and he's got weapons to throw to. Josh Allen is

436
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:54,200
playing football again at an MVP type level. I mean,

437
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,640
we get immune to it, we get bored with it

438
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,200
because he's been playing at this level for five or

439
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:57,799
six years.

440
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,799
Speaker 2: But Josh Allen is playing an MVP.

441
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 3: When you have these two good offenses, you expect points

442
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,319
in January, man, and you do. This is the highest

443
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,119
total on the board. For good reason. I think we

444
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,200
see a shootout and I lean over. Okay, I haven't

445
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,799
bet at the number, because again, what I'm seeing signs

446
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,319
this could come down. You know, some of the some

447
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,400
of the leading indicator books are juiced under on this

448
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,680
ball game. So I don't think it will. I mean,

449
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,359
fifty one and a half a reasonable number. It's not

450
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,440
a number that you're you know, I have to wait

451
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,799
for the fifty one. It's not three and a half.

452
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:35,319
Speaker 2: Two and a half. Yeah, you know, hey, let's wait

453
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,240
for the three. See what we get it. But the

454
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,240
lead here is definitely builds jacks under.

455
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: I think that game's gonna be a lot of fun,

456
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,960
and I think the last team with the football is likely,

457
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,599
you know, to win the game.

458
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you to Teddy Covers for filling

get into some of this college basketball. As I pull

482
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,400
up art to Caesar's very lengthy text because last week

483
00:21:58,519 --> 00:22:01,440
college basketball is really good in I'm.

484
00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 4: Very interesting to hear what Art has to say. I

485
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,039
was in joy chat with Arts sometimes with Joe and Press.

486
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:08,240
But yeah, the Morning Wager, let's not bury the lead, Kelly,

487
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:10,680
it is back on the Picks and Parlays YouTube channel.

488
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,440
Mark and I. I actually just posted a clip from

489
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:16,759
yesterday's show. As a matter of fact, as we were

490
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,359
talking about Indiana organ yesterday, I said, look, man, if

491
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,079
you like Indiana win and cover this game, just bet

492
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:23,000
them to win the national championship because there gonna be

493
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,240
a big favorite in that game. Guess what Mark made

494
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,839
the bet? Ron The area goes, oh, that sounds very

495
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,359
appealing to me.

496
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make that bet right now. He did.

497
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 4: And guess what. Indiana's about a three to one favorite

498
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,119
to beat Miami next Monday. So fun times always on

499
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,039
Morning Wager with Mark and I. Check it out again

500
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:40,839
on the Picks and Parlays YouTube channel. Mark and I

501
00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:42,480
have a special deal. I'm sure we'll be talking about

502
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,039
that sometime in the next fifteen minutes.

503
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: And for the record comment section, actually I did brush

504
00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:49,200
and curl my hair this morning. I want you guys

505
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,359
to know that sure.

506
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,039
Speaker 4: After you this morning?

507
00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: Man, I know, right, I don't know what I did.

508
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,759
I get it. My setup's not the greatest. I'm sitting

509
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,279
here on my dad's barcel's turning my back. We had

510
00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:00,839
tech issues. I mean, come on, I'm for you guys.

511
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:02,559
Can I get some love? Of course you can tell

512
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:04,119
me talk. I brush my hair. Look at it, Look

513
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,240
at those fresh curls.

514
00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:07,599
Speaker 4: May I haven't brushed my hair since thinety six.

515
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Brian Power. Let's get into some of

516
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:14,960
these college basketball games. There is a just plethora of games.

517
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,680
But I know these guys want to talk about a

518
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,359
couple of the ones that are tipping off here early

519
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,279
and that, hey, you know, really solid teams. Let's talk

520
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:26,440
about that University of Florida team that I bet last

521
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:29,440
year to win the national championship. They lose to Miszoo,

522
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:32,079
and I thought, all right, this team is not what

523
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,359
they once were. Maybe Missouri is a little bit better

524
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,680
than I thought. Dennis Allen's been doing a great job

525
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,359
with that team. Now Florida's back at home here. They're

526
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,759
going to take on the Tennessee Volunteers.

527
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting, Florida.

528
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: You know Kelly.

529
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: One of the spots both you and I look at

530
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,400
each and every year is the old unranked home team

531
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,640
favored over top twenty five opponents. Florida second time this

532
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,200
week they're in that role now. What was interesting and

533
00:23:58,279 --> 00:23:59,759
Mark talk and I talked about the sun the morning

534
00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:02,480
wage early speak. That trend started zero three this year

535
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,759
with NC State coming up short twice lo and behold.

536
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:09,599
The first instance though, of a team getting home and

537
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,119
covering as an unranked home favorite against the top twenty

538
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,160
five team was Florida on Tuesday as a nine and

539
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,519
a half point favorite. I think they even closed. Did

540
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:17,880
they close?

541
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 2: Iron? Did they close?

542
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 4: And somebody remind me against Georgia and for about a

543
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,880
half things were not looking good for Florida, but then

544
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,119
you had the ejection and Florida just blew them out

545
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,359
of the water in the second half. I don't want

546
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,920
to play the side in this game. Actually, I have

547
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,200
a lot of respect for Tennessee. I would look at

548
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,799
the under in this Florida Tennessee matchup. What is the key?

549
00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:41,559
It's not a client play, but it's how I would

550
00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:44,119
look to Playscap and guys, if you're watching this game,

551
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,799
what you want to be focused in on because this

552
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,640
will determine the result of the game. I can guarantee

553
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,519
that is offensive rebounding. These are the number one and

554
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,720
number two teams in the country. Kelly in offensive rebounding

555
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,200
the under. Okay, for the under to come home, we

556
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,359
can't have a lot of second chance points. But here's

557
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,119
the good news. You look at the Florida side. Okay,

558
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,400
they're number five in the country at canceling out offensive rebounds.

559
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,920
So what I'm hoping for here and what anyone who's

560
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,240
bet the under. I know a lot of people who've

561
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,759
bet the under in this game. I haven't had a

562
00:25:15,839 --> 00:25:18,359
chance to peruse what Art is saying here on the screen,

563
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,200
but it'd be interested to know if if he liked that.

564
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,799
I don't looks like he actually thinks the other way.

565
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,000
It looks like some people bet the over.

566
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

567
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 4: I would say, I'm gonna just beg to differ there.

568
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,599
I like the under in this game, and Merril does.

569
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,599
Speaker 1: Every single week Art gives out these games and he says, no, no, no, up.

570
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,920
The sharps are wrong. No it up. Art's wrong. It's

571
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,799
actually kind of become a new little uh little stitch.

572
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 4: So that's what I like Meryl, and I like Art

573
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,079
to Caesar, So guess what, can't we all be friends.

574
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,519
I'll just say this. If there's a lot of second

575
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,359
chance points in this game, then yes, it's gonna be

576
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,880
tough for the underget. But I think relative to what

577
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,720
we normally see from this Tennessee and this Florida team,

578
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:56,440
there will not be as many second chance points in

579
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,440
this game. So under is what I like it that one.

580
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:06,759
Speaker 1: Okay, let's keep on moving right along. This Nebraska team. Uh,

581
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:08,960
you know, k State was in a rock fight with

582
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:11,640
this team. They're in Kansas City, and I thought, all right,

583
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,359
either K State's not as good, Nebraska's not as good.

584
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,440
I can't figure out the dynamics. And since the Nebraska

585
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,160
has just been on fire, this has been a really

586
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:25,400
great program. Obviously, we know Illinois historically has always been

587
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,279
a really great basketball program. Talk about Brad Underwood's team

588
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:31,079
here back at home, laying a little chalk.

589
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,319
Speaker 4: So with Nebraska, here here's the deal. You know, I

590
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,519
always my ratings are pretty much in line with the

591
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,680
Ken Palm ratings. You know, it's not like Ken Palm's

592
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,480
like a pancea and it's like you know we should,

593
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,240
you know, walk up the mountain with a chiseledon stone.

594
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,400
But here's the deal with when when you talk about

595
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,000
Nebraska the Eight People versus my power ratings, Nebraska still

596
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,200
sticks out like a sore thumb, Kelly. They're number ten

597
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,839
in the country in the Eight People. What I barely

598
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,960
have them still as a top twenty five team despite

599
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,079
the undefeated starts, the longest win streak in the country

600
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,200
for Nebraska, they've been shooting the lights out. They proved

601
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,000
me wrong. I was on Ohio State or in the week.

602
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:11,640
I know everybody was on Ohio State or early in

603
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,960
the week, and you know, as that game got ready

604
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,960
to tip off, I got a little nervous. But either're

605
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,079
facing Indiana. I guess the word, Kelly, in Bloomington, Indiana

606
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,759
right now. The key word that they believe, at least

607
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,240
on the athletic side in Bloomington is experience. We talk

608
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,599
about the football team obviously it's a very experienced group,

609
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,519
not necessarily together, but they bring in a lot of

610
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:35,200
experienced transfers. The basketball team here in Indian in Bloomington,

611
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:41,119
most experienced team in the country. So it's at home.

612
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,279
This team usually plays better at home Nebraska. I believe

613
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:48,839
this is their third true road game, So I yeah,

614
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,720
I like Indiana. I think a lot of people expect

615
00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:53,519
that from me in this game. I think Nebraska suffers

616
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,720
its first loss of the season this afternoon in Bloomington, India.

617
00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:01,640
I agree with the site. Here's the thing you had

618
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,559
Teddy on in the opening segment, right, and you guys

619
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:07,000
are talking about power ratings. You know you can't just

620
00:28:07,079 --> 00:28:10,200
blindly and you know this, Kelly can't just blindly take

621
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,799
these unranked home teams if you think it's a bad number.

622
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:14,519
I didn't take Floria against Georgia because I thought that

623
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:15,440
number was kind of absurd.

624
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,039
Speaker 2: I guess you know.

625
00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:17,599
Speaker 4: It was back to the drawing board with me in

626
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,960
this case. I believe I agree with the number. Indiana

627
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,720
absolutely should be favored by a couple of buckets over Nebraska,

628
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:24,400
and I think I like them.

629
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: We get it, dumb Hoo's.

630
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Yours all right, guys, Sorry about that misbeak. Indiana not Illinois.

631
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,359
Can you tell that I have my list of our

632
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,160
diseasar up and I'm trying to get it you're doing?

633
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:34,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

634
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:36,519
Speaker 4: I always say.

635
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,759
Speaker 1: Tom Tomas producing today, not Louis. Usually i'd be screaming

636
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,359
at Louie to get me off the screen today. I

637
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,319
just have no shame. You guys have already criticized my hair.

638
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,680
We already started late, Like, I just don't care. So

639
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,599
I'll be on my phone betting these games. It doesn't matter.

640
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,440
I'm here for you guys, and it doesn't matter if

641
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,200
I do my hair or not.

642
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: Damn it, it's unbelievable you're getting you know, I think

643
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,640
I'm getting the haircut after the show. Much you should

644
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,480
like to thank you. Yeah, I knew that I was.

645
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:04,000
I've been waiting for that Slack message again everybody three months.

646
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,559
I'll take you other other than your computer's infected with malware.

647
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:09,279
I think the most the scariest thing to look at

648
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:12,400
your computer screen is kiv is typing. That is that

649
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,200
is the scariest thing. You guys have slack for work.

650
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,599
Speaker 1: You you know when I say, oh, no, yes, all

651
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,200
right here, let's talk about some of these interesting sides

652
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,319
from are at the Westgate super Book. I don't want

653
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:29,960
to talk about any of these waring games. If I did,

654
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,119
I would have Adam trigger on. So I want to

655
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:34,640
talk about the more exciting games here, he said, with

656
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,559
Sharp's lay twelve and a half here with Duke. Let's

657
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:41,319
talk about this Duke game because it's getting bet up

658
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:42,920
and I don't know if I already missed the boat

659
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,200
and I'm debating, right, So when when a line goes

660
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,279
from twelve and a half to fourteen because the team

661
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:50,960
is named Duke, that makes me a little nervous, like

662
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,359
the game's gonna land thirteen fourteen and guess who wins

663
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,720
and then guess who subsequently loses. So I like to

664
00:29:57,839 --> 00:29:59,440
check some of these things and see if the markets

665
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,799
moved a little too much for me.

666
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: Brian Power, Yeah, so the thing with Duke, you gotta

667
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,960
let's go back, you know, college basketball. For me, you know,

668
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,400
we don't want to be victims of recency bias at all,

669
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,359
but you always want to go back, and you know,

670
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
these teams are so up and down and so maddeningly

671
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,279
inconsistent for the most part, I mean, except for you know,

672
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,279
maybe the real league, and Duke's an elite team.

673
00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:19,519
Speaker 2: For that matter.

674
00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:22,119
Speaker 4: But go back to what happened earlier the week against Louisville, Kelly,

675
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,680
they were losing in that game. It did not look

676
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,119
good in the first half. Louisville could not Louisville. Mark

677
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:29,319
and I talked about that game, and Louisville is a

678
00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:32,119
team that attempts the most three pointers in the country,

679
00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:34,279
and they could not miss from behind the arc in

680
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:37,039
that first step. That is why Duke fell behind in

681
00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:39,359
that game. It took a lot of effort to come

682
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,240
back to beat the Cardinals, a high profile game. I

683
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:47,559
think Louisville has an argument as the second best team

684
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:49,359
in the ACC. I know that there's someone in the chat,

685
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:52,000
at least one person in particularly probably thinks it's Virginia.

686
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:55,559
But that's a different story for a different day. I

687
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:57,440
think because it took so much for Duke. I know

688
00:30:57,519 --> 00:30:59,680
Duke's home. I know SMU is a lot better at

689
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,240
home than they are on the road. I actually played

690
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,400
SMU's team total under I gave this out for free

691
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,000
on the morning wager when they suffered. Now they were

692
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:10,839
guess what a top twenty five team that lost at

693
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,680
unranked Clemson the other night. You may have covered due

694
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,880
to that last second three, but I would not lay

695
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,720
it with Duke. I know that's like kind of a

696
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:20,680
gutless thing to say. I'm not gonna rush to back

697
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:23,359
said us spot, but there's no I mean, you know me,

698
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:24,680
I'm not laying this with Duke.

699
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:26,759
Speaker 1: No, and that's fine, but that's the reality with some

700
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:29,039
of these sharp plays. The sharp guys are betting these numbers.

701
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:31,839
They have I think fifteen games or something they bet today.

702
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:33,839
I dropped them in the chat. We'll go over some

703
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,519
more of them here in just a minute. I'm kind

704
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,880
of curious about some of these totals you mentioned. Let's

705
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,359
stay on that Duke game, because the Duke under is

706
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:47,480
on this list as well, so I kind of wanted

707
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,640
to see what your thoughts were on the total in

708
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:52,440
regards to these two under one fifty nine is what

709
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:52,960
they played.

710
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Duke, they don't play exceptionally fast, and they're

711
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,119
a top ten defensive team in the country. Sm you

712
00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:03,119
their strength is on the offensive side. Button Again, they're

713
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,440
on the road, so you're gonna expect a little bit

714
00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:10,440
less offense from them, you know. Thinking from a game

715
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:13,240
script perspective, how does s you know, Mark and I

716
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:15,359
talk about this all the time. How does SMU cover

717
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,920
the spread of this game. Let's just think about how

718
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,599
the game plays out in our heads. Okay, SMU will

719
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,920
probably cover this spread if it's a low scoring game, Okay,

720
00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:26,119
and then similarly, do how do they cover? Well, they're

721
00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:28,960
going to cover if they hold SMU's offense and check.

722
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:31,240
So I think there is multiple pathways to an under

723
00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:33,640
in this game. As a matter of fact, the kind

724
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,680
of just talk it out here on the air with you, Kelly,

725
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:40,200
that's probably the bet to make in this game would

726
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:40,839
be the under.

727
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:41,319
Speaker 2: I think.

728
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: I just think there's there's more paths to get there.

729
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,359
Uh So, Yeah, I like that. I would agree with

730
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,440
the Sharps on that one.

731
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:50,359
Speaker 1: And I agree with the Sharps here on the Tennessee,

732
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Florida over one fifty and a half, I believe right

733
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:57,640
now it is currently yeah, still one fifteen and a half.

734
00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:02,359
So nobody else has actually played anything significant there. Let's

735
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,279
kind of go through some more games, Brian Power, tell

736
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:07,000
me what you've got going on for sale over at

737
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:08,720
wager Talk, and then we'll talk about some of the

738
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,720
games that narrowly missed your card today.

739
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

740
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,839
Speaker 4: Well, so I'm playing both NFL playoff games today, including

741
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,359
a five percent max bet.

742
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: Very rare we do the.

743
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,079
Speaker 4: Five percent max that's had. My last five percent play

744
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:24,720
was on New Year's Day that was Indiana against Alabama

745
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,200
and that was not sure if you caught that game

746
00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:28,799
kill it was very easy winner. Quite frankly, I wish

747
00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:30,559
I would have just laid it with Indiana again last night.

748
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:32,000
I'm going to talk about that a little bit because

749
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,599
I know this people want me to discuss that. But

750
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,200
first five percent play in the NFL since December twentieth, Yeah,

751
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,599
since that we had the Eagles and Commanders over that day,

752
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:44,200
which was a winner. We got a little lucky late,

753
00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:48,160
but that's okay, we'll take it. And look, we're ten

754
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,799
and four with all NFL five percent plays going back

755
00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:55,000
to November of twenty twenty three, so that's only fourteen

756
00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:56,880
times guys we released a five percent play in the

757
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,720
NFL going back over two years. We're hitting over seventy

758
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:02,160
percent of them. And I really like this one that

759
00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:04,039
you have to And I'm playing both, I said, I

760
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,759
do plays. I'm playing both games. So you can check

761
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:09,760
it out right now. WT dot Buzz slash VP up

762
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,559
over fifty units Kelly betting Football since November first.

763
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:14,119
Speaker 2: Very proud of that.

764
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,199
Speaker 4: I wish I would have been up closer to sixty.

765
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,639
But yours truly, Kelly did something stupid yesterday. What did

766
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,039
I do stupid. I bet Oregon under its team total.

767
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,360
I'm the only person yesterday who was rooting for Indiana

768
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,920
that didn't win somehow because it was twenty one and

769
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,440
a half. And guess what they did. They for some

770
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:33,480
reason kicked the extra point at the end instead of

771
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:35,440
going for two. I knew it was going to happen.

772
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,639
I was on the phone with Zeno. I said, this

773
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,719
is horrible. I wish if it was an afternoon game

774
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,599
and there was something else. The way that game got

775
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:44,320
out of hand, I told him. I was like, if

776
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,920
this was the middle of the afternoon and I had

777
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,559
the same bet on this game, I would just walk

778
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:50,000
away and do something else. I'm not going to sit

779
00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:52,840
here and torch. I'm not learning anything by watching this game.

780
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:56,079
Or Indiana's kicking their ass. So that sucked. I did

781
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:58,599
at least mitigate the damage somewhat with the Sacramento Kings

782
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,239
in the first half, and that was a very good

783
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,119
bet because they got their ass kicked in the second half.

784
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, So if you watch Kelleen Murray, you know

785
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:09,559
John Murray has their season win total under so his

786
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,039
his group, they're very bad. It is no Kings because

787
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:15,119
they're rooting against the Kings, and I laughed. I said,

788
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:17,039
but every once in a while in the first half

789
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:18,880
they really show like they want to play, and then

790
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,000
they just don't. And he goes, that's exactly why we

791
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,760
bet their season win total under. So congratulations to you.

792
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,159
If you like the Kings going forward. King's first half

793
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,760
is probably the only way you should be looking at it.

794
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 4: If they're a team that's just gonna roll over and

795
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,480
quit right if it gets out of hand, they're not

796
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,079
we like, yes, we like to say if they're not

797
00:35:35,159 --> 00:35:37,440
covered early, they're not covering late.

798
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 2: So uh yeah.

799
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 4: So anyway, we got the two plays up in the NFL,

800
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,039
and I also have my two plays up for Sunday

801
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:45,719
as well already. Uh you know, trying to early bird

802
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,880
gets the worm, so to speak, Kelly, I've got so

803
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,920
I've got four plays for NFL Wild Card weekend.

804
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,519
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's hit on a couple more of

805
00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:56,960
these college basketball games from the chat before we get

806
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:57,800
you out of here.

807
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 4: If you have a lead in the NBA, if we

808
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:02,000
want to answer that question, I would take, go ahead,

809
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:04,320
give me your lean in the NBA. I would take

810
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,199
Indiana plus the points they just snapped a long losing streak.

811
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,360
No one's you know, it's like the old anti swagger

812
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,119
spot or swagger spot, if you will, Kelly. They call it.

813
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:16,119
A bad team wins a game. The public says, all, well,

814
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:18,519
they're not gonna win again. But I look at it

815
00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:20,440
and say, hey, I think they've got maybe a little

816
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,159
bit of that swagger in them here. And the good

817
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,039
news is, if you want to bet Indiana tonight, this

818
00:36:26,159 --> 00:36:27,639
is just a lean right now. It's not officially on

819
00:36:27,679 --> 00:36:29,519
my cart. You only need them to stay within seven points.

820
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:33,960
Miami an interesting spot. They had a game canceled against Chicago.

821
00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:35,639
You don't see that often. There was a little a

822
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,920
condensation issue on the court, so it kind of throws

823
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,079
a fly in the ointment. But I would take Indiana

824
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,679
plus the points. Indiana way better at home than they

825
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,360
are on the road as well. And by the way,

826
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,880
I like seeing the Pacers suffer after what their fans

827
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:49,719
had to say last year.

828
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: Oh boy, now here we go. Look what I did.

829
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,280
Look what social media did. You basically put them into

830
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,880
the new Bears fans. Okay, I'm gonna go through this

831
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,239
list of college I've already put it in the chat.

832
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,320
I'll put it in the chat again from Art to Casar.

833
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,880
That was sharp. Let's go through these totals first, just

834
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,280
because they're boring and because they're totals. Fordam over one forty,

835
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,159
Tennessee over one fifty and a half, Florida State over

836
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,800
one fifty nine, Louisville under one fifty, Grand Canyon under

837
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,960
one forty one and a half, Duke under one fifty,

838
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,599
Arizona State under one seventy. But let's talk about some

839
00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:28,679
of these interesting sides here. Linda Wood minus six. That

840
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,000
one has come up with you, Lovenood, Okay, let's talk

841
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,280
about it.

842
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 4: I know, I know you love lindenwe I was being facetious,

843
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,280
but I was like, I know you love Lindenwood. What

844
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,079
are your favorite teams?

845
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,199
Speaker 1: I know I couldn't name a single player on the teams.

846
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,559
This is the thing that is so great about college basketball.

847
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:44,719
You just pick the conferences you want to follow, and

848
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,079
then you just do those in depth. For me, it's big,

849
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,360
it's big twelve, big ten sec. I don't need to follow.

850
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,719
I couldn't even tell you what conference Lindawood is in.

851
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,440
Isn't that sad?

852
00:37:54,119 --> 00:37:56,599
Speaker 4: It is a little bit Lindenwood. I'm sure I'm sure

853
00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,519
all our Lindenwood fans are weeping right now.

854
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:02,199
Speaker 1: Ten minus one and a half, Duke minus twelve and

855
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,800
a half, air Force plus eighteen, Missouri State minus one

856
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,800
and a half. VP. If you have any agreements here

857
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,079
or opposites.

858
00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:09,639
Speaker 4: Feel free react.

859
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:10,199
Speaker 2: I'll react.

860
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want a bet air Force.

861
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,679
Speaker 1: You don't they're that bad.

862
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 4: Huh, Well, they're not a good team. They don't let

863
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,199
people in six three or taller in the Air Force.

864
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,719
Why would you bet a basketball team.

865
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:20,079
Speaker 2: From air Force?

866
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:21,039
Speaker 1: Okay?

867
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 2: Great?

868
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: Is that true?

869
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 4: Yes, that's why I'm not in the air Force.

870
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: You're taller than six three six three on the dot, Yeah,

871
00:38:29,639 --> 00:38:31,280
I would have lost that bet. I think that's because

872
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,000
I'm always in high heels whenever I'm around you. I

873
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:35,039
would not have guessed you were six foot three. Are

874
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,199
U TAP plus four and a half, East Illinois plus

875
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,119
Eastern Illinois plus four TCDU plus seven and a half.

876
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:45,039
Let's talk some big twelve basketball there, Brian Power.

877
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 4: Okay, let's see.

878
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,559
Speaker 1: Let's hear your opinions on this one. I'm still betting

879
00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:54,920
these They have come down from seven and a half

880
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,320
down to seven versus Arizona, a team that just smacked

881
00:38:58,639 --> 00:38:59,920
my k State Wildcat.

882
00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

883
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: Arizona, Yeah, it's kind of like right on market. Look,

884
00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:07,679
Arizona eventually is gonna slip up. And if look, if

885
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,719
they slip up, where's it gonna be. Where do we

886
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,559
think it's gonna be, Kelly, It's gonna be on the road. Eh,

887
00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:16,079
they don't slip up here. Just looking at the upcoming schedule,

888
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,440
I mean you're you're talking to the end of the

889
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,320
month when they have to travel to Provo Phace PYU

890
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,599
that they might slip up. I might take a slot.

891
00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:28,320
I could be convinced to take a small nibble here

892
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,639
on the dog. It wouldn't play it large, but if

893
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:32,960
it would be dogg or pass for me in that situation,

894
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:33,519
is the.

895
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:35,639
Speaker 1: Dog worth and money line? Sprinkler? Are we just taking

896
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:36,880
the current number of plus seven?

897
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,079
Speaker 4: You want to get real frisky? Uh No, I don't.

898
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,559
I don't see TCU winning the game. I would just

899
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:46,119
take the.

900
00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: Points so tc to cover Arizona to win. All right,

901
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,559
Let's keep going through some of these games real quick

902
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:55,679
before we get out of here. Arkansas State minus eleven

903
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:57,880
and a half, Sam Houston at plus two and a half,

904
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,599
Long Beach State minus f New Mexico State minus three

905
00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:06,000
and a half, Loyal and Marymount plus twelve and Utah

906
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,599
plus fourteen and a half.

907
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 4: Utah is an interesting one there. They're obviously facing BYU. Yeah,

908
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,320
afore mentioned BYU again, I could be convinced they're geting.

909
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,599
I mean they're get That's a decent number of points

910
00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:25,800
you're getting in a rivalry matchup. I would be inclined

911
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,079
to take the points there in a rivalry game with

912
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:31,519
the home dog, for sure, So I agree with.

913
00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: That and power anything else you'd like to leave our

914
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:38,760
