1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,879
Speaker 1: All right, welcome here everyone. It is Feast week.

2
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure we've got like fifteen sixteen dollars of

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:14,119
basketball for like the next three or four days. It's

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,440
gonna be awesome, tons of games. Welcome in, Brian Power,

5
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:21,120
Rob Vino, hope you guys had a great weekend. No

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,920
time to mess around with this late though, so I'm

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,559
going to bring you right in, Brian Power.

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,879
Speaker 1: I know you are are just thrilled.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,839
Speaker 2: About this format that they've got going on in Las

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,520
Vegas for the players era, So let's talk about it.

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,399
Let's start Alabama Gonzaga, and if you want to throw

12
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:37,840
some shade at whoever made this thing, go ahead.

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: Also, you don't like the so you don't like the format.

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,679
Speaker 1: It's one of the worst. It's one of the worst

15
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:45,920
formats I've ever seen for a tournament. But I like

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,320
that we're getting these matchups.

17
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:49,799
Speaker 3: I'll say, before we get into it, do you want

18
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:52,000
to clarify for the people, for the people to home

19
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:54,240
who may not understand, because yeah, it was because the

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,560
teams already know who they're playing tomorrow. Yeah, it's a

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,799
different format than last year, so we should clarify that.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: I think what clarify it. For me, I don't even

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,040
know what the hell is going on.

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: So there are there's there's multiple games already set and

25
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:13,560
then I guess it's just based on how you do

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,799
in the No, I'm not being helped helped captive by you, bets.

27
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:21,959
I am on the road at my brother in laws.

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,959
Please everyone bear with me with a setup. But uh, yeah,

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,239
it's a different word. There's already it's not a win

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280
in Advanced necessarily because teams aren't. And for me, I

31
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,760
was it already affects my handicap for Rutgers Tennessee. But

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,120
the teams know who they're playing tomorrow already, Rob d

33
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,200
are you one hundred percent sure how this works? Either?

34
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:44,439
Like I was looking for some clarification either. I saw

35
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:48,680
tomorrow's games are scheduled, but after that I was a

36
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,400
little unclear how they they fit the consolation and the

37
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:54,840
winner's advanced bracket.

38
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I dug this morning, Brian, honestly, because I

39
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,359
was like, well, do they play at opposite venues tomorrow?

40
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:04,239
I mean, the venues are close enough to it, and

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,640
sometimes in these Las Vegas tournaments you do get a

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,759
switch of venues. But I couldn't find anything other than

43
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,000
who they're gonna play today, who they're gonna play tomorrow,

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680
whether or not there even is a legit quarter.

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,439
Speaker 5: Final, semi final, championship.

46
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,159
Speaker 4: All the team's schedules when I looked, don't indicate any

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,479
games after the second game, So I was wondering, does

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
that mean they just don't know the opponent or I

49
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,560
mean it would at least yes, Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday,

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,159
Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday.

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:34,599
Speaker 5: Whatever.

52
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: So if this is just a two win out to

53
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,840
give every single team a million dollars in nil money,

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,520
then you know, so be right.

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 5: But with Adam, go ahead, Brian.

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,879
Speaker 3: Just to clarify, So every team's gonna play three games,

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,719
and the third game is based on your record in

58
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:56,520
the first two. Now I would assume that some team,

59
00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:59,000
So I don't know that. If you want to, guys,

60
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:00,520
I'm just gonna come out and say if you want.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,560
If you're looking for answers on how these tie breaks

62
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:04,800
are gonna work, I don't have them for you. Right now.

63
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: When everybody's one and one, I'm.

64
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,719
Speaker 3: In a random basement on the other of the state

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,199
right now, I'm just trying to plug in and broadcast game.

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 5: It's hard. It's hard to figure out what's going on there.

67
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: That's yeah, same with me that they actually put odds

68
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,879
out for like who wins this thing? And I was like,

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,479
how and how could you even bet that? Like, I

70
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,840
feel like I feel like there's I don't know if

71
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,120
everyone has like I think there could be teams that

72
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:32,800
are potentially two and oh that can't like play for

73
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:33,479
the final.

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: So again, I'm not gonna waste any more time on that.

75
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:40,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I just wanted to bring it up.

76
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,199
Speaker 2: It's an interesting concept. I think it's a poorly executed format.

77
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,280
But the only thing that matters here is we get

78
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,560
some really good games and that's where we're gonna start today.

79
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,120
Arguably the best game on the slate, in my opinion,

80
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:58,560
is at the Players Era tonight Alabama Gonzaga. So right

81
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:01,360
back to you, Brian Power the Zags a favorite here

82
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,000
in Vegas? Do you agree or disagree?

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,479
Speaker 1: Yes?

84
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: I agree that they should be favorite. Do I want

85
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:13,240
to lay it? I don't want to take it. I

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,480
know that. I mean, you're gonna expect points here. I mean, look,

87
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,399
right now, I've got Gonzaga power rated number two behind Duke,

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,079
I believe. Let me just double check that, make sure

89
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,399
nothing's changed. But yeah, I've got Gonzaga power rated number two.

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Uh.

91
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: We know Alabama. We've talked about Alabama already this year.

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,439
UH and I we're gonna expect points I think in

93
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:37,000
this game.

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

95
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:41,759
Speaker 3: With with Gonzaga, I think the issue is have they

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,639
been tested? Alabama's been tested, That's what I was trying

97
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,480
to stammer out there. They've played Illinois and Purdue and

98
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:52,600
Saint John's their last. What a what a run that

99
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,600
is of four games you go, Saint John's, Purdue, Illinois, Gonzaga.

100
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,720
Those are four top ten according to my power rings.

101
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,839
I mean, my god. You talk about Alabama football playing

102
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:06,879
the having the number one strength of schedule in the country.

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040
Alabama basketball right now has maybe the toughest strength of

104
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
schedule in the first two weeks I've ever seen. So

105
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,959
we know they're battle tested. Gonzaga not so much. They

106
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:19,839
did blow Creighton's doors off in the second half. I

107
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:22,519
believe one of you guys can correct me if I'm wrong.

108
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:26,439
The game was close at halftime and then the Zags

109
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,519
just blew their door off over the last twenty minutes.

110
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,199
So I absolutely believe and agree with the fact in

111
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:35,759
Zaga laying four and a half. I'm a little higher

112
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,439
than that, but not enough that makes me want to

113
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,319
slam the Zags in that situation. I apologize for that

114
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:44,959
for weaseling out of a pick here, but Gonzag is

115
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,639
a deserve favorite. I just I think the concern is,

116
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560
you know, Alabama's been tested where they haven't whereas the

117
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Zags haven't been tested as much.

118
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that's the first thing you go to,

119
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,439
right bro.

120
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:01,079
Speaker 4: I look at the schedule Alabama's played it currently, depending

121
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,480
upon where you're looking, they sit around number three in

122
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:05,360
the country and strength of schedule play, and I'm sure

123
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:08,360
somebody out of the swack has played a tougher schedule. Yeah,

124
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,839
that's a good point, but for power teams, and Alabama's

125
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,040
been all over the map doing it Madison Square, Garden,

126
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,600
United Center, Home, Las Vegas, They're all over the place

127
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:23,319
for me, and I do agree laying three and a

128
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,319
half is a lot better than laying four and a half.

129
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:27,879
But still it's hard for me to get to Alabama

130
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,240
because guys, I think these rebounding issues are gonna come

131
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,920
up again. Remember last time we talked about Alabama Illinois

132
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,120
and how NATO's was so pissy after they got crushed

133
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,639
on the boards by Purdue fifty two to twenty eight,

134
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,240
and then they came back and played Illinois, and I

135
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,920
remember talking that day and saying, you know, Illinois didn't

136
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:48,800
exactly crush Texas Tech on the board, so maybe Bama

137
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,279
has a chance. And they did have a chance forty

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,079
to thirty eight on the boards in that game. They

139
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,959
only lost by two in rebound margin, and they win

140
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,360
ninety to eighty six in the United Center.

141
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:00,959
Speaker 5: But I don't know that that happens here.

142
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: Gonzaga is one of the best rebounding teams in the

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,040
country actually by metrics, better than Purdue and far superior

144
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,439
to Purdue on the defensive rebounding, So a lot of

145
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,360
one and ounce maybe Forbama, who if their threes aren't falling,

146
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:18,879
you know, could be problematic. In a lot of ways,

147
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:22,319
these teams are similar. They both shoot the three at

148
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:25,519
the same exact percentage. They both want paced. They both

149
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,560
on the defensive end slow teams down a little bit

150
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,519
to get off a shot, while on the offensive end

151
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:32,879
they want to run, run, run, but.

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,879
Speaker 5: More edges for the Zags.

153
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 4: Their three point defense is far superior so far, and

154
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,720
beyond that Alabama. Neither of these teams turns the ball over.

155
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:49,279
Real good ball protection, but surprisingly Alabama doesn't force any turnovers. Hey,

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,959
what are they doing over there? They should be forcing turnovers,

157
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:56,560
that's their style. They haven't Gonzaga has. I think when

158
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,639
I first looked at it, Brian, my initial reaction was,

159
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,079
you know, Bbama's far more tested. But when you go

160
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:09,399
back and look at the Creightons, the Oklahomas that Gonzaga's played,

161
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:16,000
you can find one comp game where we're talking about

162
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:21,240
the the rebounding and that's Arizona State. Arizona State now

163
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,680
Alabama almost identical rebounding numbers, and in that game, Gonzaga

164
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,120
out rebounded him by fourteen on the road, won the

165
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,159
game by twelve. Arizona State certainly is not in Alabama's

166
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,799
offensive league, but I still think it means something here.

167
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240
And this is the thing with Alabama. We're kind of

168
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:42,120
sea sawing each and every game with them because I

169
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,879
think the matchup absolutely makes what's gonna happen on the court.

170
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,120
The reality worked in Saint John's, didn't work against Purdue.

171
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,039
Speaker 5: Worked it in Illinois. I don't know that it works

172
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:56,799
against Gonzaga, so I think I would lay.

173
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,919
Speaker 4: And as for the total, I mean one way tickety

174
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,440
that you play over you don't play at all.

175
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it would be a very miserable two hour experience.

176
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:07,639
I think watching this game and betting under two things

177
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:12,039
are one thing that I wanted to bring up. Not

178
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,360
only has Bama had this really tough schedule, this will

179
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:18,639
be their four straight ten top ten opponent. Gonzaga has

180
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:23,879
been off for a week, so I mean that that

181
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,159
is a just massive, massive scheduling edge for this. I mean,

182
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:30,879
or I mean you could you could argue, I guess

183
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:33,440
you know, if you're wearing Crimson, you're gonna probably argue, well,

184
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,279
we're battle tested, we're ready for this. You know this

185
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,960
is you know, nobody cries about this in March, whereas

186
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,480
maybe Gonzag is a little bit rusty.

187
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, I really think fan base wise it lean

188
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:45,480
towards Gonzaga here pretty heavily.

189
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Don't know.

190
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 5: I'm Thanksgiving week.

191
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,399
Speaker 4: If folks from Tuscaloosa want to travel to Las Vegas,

192
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:54,440
I really don't think that's gonna happen. Where Gonzaga has

193
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,080
got kind of a built in fan base day. They're

194
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,480
in Las Vegas a lot. So what game I think

195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,200
it was the Year Zona game, right when they were

196
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720
playing in Las Vegas, way back to the beginning of

197
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:05,440
the year. We talked about it and it turned out

198
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,159
to come true against Florida.

199
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: So maybe the fans help here too.

200
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 3: And by you actually clarified, he's correct that scoring differential

201
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:16,240
is what matters. That this is something obviously you know

202
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,279
you hear about this in the NBA Cup rob as well. Uh,

203
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,440
you know, scoring differential matters, So at the end of games,

204
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,559
teams are just gonna still be trying because that's gonna

205
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,879
that's the tiebreak is point differential. So there you go.

206
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, And of course they the WCC plays a conference

207
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,600
tournament in Vegas, so they're always there. In March, they

208
00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:40,240
probably I mean I would say they play what three

209
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,080
four or five games a year in Vegas usually, like

210
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:46,279
even without this tournament, whether it's a standalone at te Mobile,

211
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:50,759
you know, they've had plenty of games in Vegas, And yeah,

212
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:52,559
I would agree that they have some fan base there.

213
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480
I rarely come on here with like a like a

214
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,600
totals opinion.

215
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:58,399
Speaker 1: I'm just I've said this a million times.

216
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:02,759
Speaker 2: It's just not really like how handicap it's I don't

217
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:04,480
know when the last time a game out of total

218
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:07,480
for a client play was, but sometimes they catch my eye.

219
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,200
This one, like the I had a feeling the over

220
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,960
or the opener was too low. It looks like the

221
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,919
market has suggested that is the case. Now up to

222
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,200
one seventy six.

223
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: I've got this.

224
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:20,519
Speaker 2: I've got this in like the one eighties, like the

225
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,279
low one eighties. So I guess the one thing I'll

226
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,799
point out which would point me toward the over. Here

227
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,600
where I think Zaga probably wins this game if they do,

228
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,159
is is the ability to score up front. I'm not

229
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000
sure Alabama's post defense is going to be able to

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,879
hold up against Gonzaga. The other thing that makes me

231
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,200
think that this one probably soars over is Purdue was

232
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,159
really able to slow down Bama, which is which is

233
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:48,679
really the reason they lost that game. And you talk

234
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:51,679
about early in the season and being tested, well, we've

235
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,759
now seen Alabama play four games.

236
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: One was obviously a cupcake against.

237
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: North Dakota, but the Saint John's game, Neil Illinois game,

238
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,720
I felt like Alabama was able to sort of instill

239
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:06,120
the game that they wanted to play into the game,

240
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,279
and then you had a ninety to eighty six final

241
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,440
with Illinois, who was actively trying to slow them down,

242
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:13,759
the game that there was a team that was willing

243
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,279
to go with them a little bit. Saint John's over

244
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,279
two hundred points in the game, close to two hundred

245
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,279
points one oh three to ninety six final. I don't

246
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,879
think Gonzaga is going to really mind playing faster here, right, Like,

247
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,320
I don't think they like, I mean maybe that like

248
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:29,639
it's hard to know what, like what they're gonna do.

249
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320
Certainly I think they want to get the ball inside.

250
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,279
But Gonzaga can play fast. I mean, we've almost seen

251
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,679
Gonzaga at times go back to previous years, and this

252
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:41,960
maybe was with some of the teams that weren't quite

253
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,159
as good in recent years. I almost felt like they

254
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:46,960
would play too fast, Like sometimes Gonzaga gets themselves out

255
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,399
of sorts by trying to play way too fast, which

256
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,000
is why I don't know if I have much of

257
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,159
an opinion on the side, but feel like one eighties

258
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,960
like a no brainer, Like this is going to get

259
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,159
to one eighty, no problem. So my leen would be

260
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:02,080
over all right, let's keep it. Let's go ahead and

261
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,000
be DP where you gonna.

262
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: My last thing I was the last thing I was gonna.

263
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,759
As far as the side goes, I think this game

264
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,120
is largely determined by can the Zags turn Bama over?

265
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,279
The Zags obviously, you look at these margins of victories

266
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,879
they've produced against uh, what we'll call lesser team, certainly

267
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:20,519
lesser opponents compared to Alabama. Uh, the margins of victory

268
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,159
have really been predicated on turning the opponent over. Alabama

269
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,960
has not been turning the ball over that much so

270
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:29,159
far this season, So I think that ultimately determines who

271
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:31,360
emerges from this game victorious.

272
00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:34,519
Speaker 1: All right, let's stay in the players era.

273
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,879
Speaker 2: We'll go we'll go a little double feature for today,

274
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:39,039
and then it'll all hell break loose as we try

275
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,440
to start figuring out like what what you know? What

276
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,960
you guys want to talk about on the rest of

277
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,120
this slate. But let's let's talk the other ranked versus ranked.

278
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,559
This one's a little bit earlier, so this will give

279
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,200
you sort of a midday feature, if you will. I'll

280
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,039
go back to Brian Power. We've got Iowa State. Saint

281
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:58,960
John's very intriguing matchup. How are you Do you have

282
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,960
an edge here either?

283
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:00,919
Speaker 1: No?

284
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,919
Speaker 3: I don't either. So the first thing is that I'll

285
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:05,799
be talking about this a lot, mainly on Tuesdays. We'll

286
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:07,639
be talking about after we've got the new rankings. But

287
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,919
I always like to compare my rankings to what we've

288
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,200
got from the pollsters. Here and here you have two teams,

289
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,840
and I have it considered top ten teams. I don't

290
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,320
really want to bet against either of these teams. I

291
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,440
think they're better than where the AP has them ranked.

292
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,919
You know, that's just my initial you know. I was like,

293
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,440
I saw this match. You know, you see the Sometimes

294
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840
you've see an event like this, guys, and you're like,

295
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:32,679
all right, God, I would love for this team to

296
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,120
be match up against this team, And then you get

297
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,799
a matchup like this Rake. Oh, I don't really want

298
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,000
to bet against either of these two sides right now.

299
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,759
I guess if you've forced me to make a pick, Trigg,

300
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:47,799
I would say Iowa State. They've been defending inside the

301
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:51,960
arc exceptionally well. I do think the game will be

302
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,519
played at a pretty fast pace. If you're looking at

303
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,720
the you know whether or not that leads to an over.

304
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:00,639
I don't know if we'll get enough points, but I

305
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:04,080
guess just the slightest of leans towards Iowa State. But

306
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,639
I don't This is again unfortunately. You know sometimes these

307
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,120
marquee games isn't where aren't where the value is? I mean,

308
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,279
I was joking with you guys what I was looking

309
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,000
at for my parlay and needs to say. Neither of

310
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:16,759
those games are in the Players Era tournament. I don't

311
00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:19,240
think any of the four teams involved were considered for

312
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:21,240
the Players IRA tournament. We're going to wait down the

313
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,639
board for those. But this game, I don't know. I

314
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:28,240
look at it very similar to the first game we

315
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,480
talked about, where I'm pretty much right on market, and

316
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:34,120
I don't know. I think the favorite pulls it out,

317
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,159
but I don't I don't necessarily want to bet it.

318
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, I'll go to the total on this one.

319
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,399
I thought this one was too low Adam one fifty

320
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:46,679
nine and a half. I think it'll be played at

321
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,600
pace both teams. You know, the backcourts are so good

322
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,399
in this game that Saint John's obviously. I mean, half

323
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,279
of my reason is that I just feel like Saint

324
00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:02,000
John's forces their tempo on their teams partly because of

325
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:05,200
their defensive style, because they will pick you up and

326
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,360
make you go, you know, three, quarter court, full court,

327
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,559
half court, whatever they'll get after you, which kind of

328
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,759
leads the door open for really good ball handling teams

329
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:17,080
a lot of times to find the open guy and drillshie.

330
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:20,559
For Iowa State, they've got plenty of that. The other

331
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,600
thing here is that they both have penetrating guards and

332
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,519
I could see a lot of free throws in this

333
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,360
game guys for Iowa State with Lipsy and Torre, and

334
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Lipsey's one of the best in my mind at getting

335
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:35,120
to the rim.

336
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 5: But TJ.

337
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:43,039
Speaker 4: Yatsenberger quoted as maybe a difficult matchup for them in

338
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,279
this game was Zubi edge of four in the middle.

339
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,159
He thought that that could be problematic for Iowa State.

340
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
So certainly if he knows it and is recognizing it,

341
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,919
there'll be some kind of focus on it. But you know,

342
00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:58,360
Saint John's is so good at scumber and you add

343
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,960
Bryce Hopkins to this team. To me, I just thought

344
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,000
this was probably the game. And not that I didn't

345
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,640
think Alabama Gonzaga would be lined at one seventy, but

346
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,799
I thought this game would be really close. I thought

347
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:14,200
maybe we'd be looking at sixty seven sixty eight in

348
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,559
this game, and we're not fifty nine and a half

349
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,119
up to one sixty. So for me, I think this

350
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:25,279
is a definitely a personal play on this game over

351
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,119
the number and probably make the client card as well

352
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,119
within the next few minutes here because of you know,

353
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,000
the early start, you want to make sure it gets

354
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,319
out there.

355
00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 5: But I do think this is a high scoring game.

356
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 4: I just you know, there're rims that these two teams

357
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,799
don't play on a lot. As far as fan base

358
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,640
is concerned, I wouldn't think there's It's a great game.

359
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:46,680
It's a game that I think, Adam we'd love to

360
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,240
be at. But I don't know how much of an

361
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:52,519
audience it will attract out there as far as specific

362
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:57,759
fans from Saint John's, Jamaica Queens, and Iowas Stater concerned,

363
00:17:57,759 --> 00:18:00,200
although Saint John's could be nationwide. I mean, they are

364
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,359
a big, big name, but give me over a necking.

365
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: I feel like, if anything, Iowa State hoop fans travel

366
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,559
like they they always dominate that conference tournament in Kansas City.

367
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,279
I know this would be a little bit farther, but

368
00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:15,960
it's like, I don't think it's that crazy to get

369
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,400
out to Vegas on a flight from from Iowa.

370
00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:19,799
Speaker 1: So if you if you.

371
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:21,279
Speaker 2: Ask me, who's going to have more fans in the

372
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:24,079
building is probably Iowa State. Whether that matters or not,

373
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:27,000
I'm not quite sure. I will say this though, there

374
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,799
is there's no way that Saint John's can win a

375
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,680
low scoring game against Iowa State. Like if they they

376
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:36,759
just can't. They don't have the guards to handle the

377
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,920
ball against that Iowa State deepense. So in my opinion,

378
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:45,079
regardless of what happens in the game, like Saint John's

379
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,319
has to turn this into a track me or they're

380
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,400
not going to win, like just just that simple.

381
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,759
Speaker 5: I just like.

382
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:54,079
Speaker 2: Iowa State, like they're now granted, Like you could make

383
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,319
the argument that, well, we haven't really seen Iowa State

384
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,720
play anyone. Fairley, Dickinson, Grambling, stone Hill are all like

385
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,000
very like low majors. I guess the one team that

386
00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:06,920
you know Iowa State has played that would be like

387
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,119
good is Mississippi State.

388
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: But they looked terrible last week.

389
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 2: I might have downgraded them as much as I downgraded

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,359
any any team. They were They were atrocious, absolutely atrocious.

391
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,039
Speaker 1: Brian go ahead.

392
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:21,319
Speaker 3: There's one team I've done. I would say Misissippi State

393
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,440
is very very high on the loyal the Chicago It's

394
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,200
by far the biggest downgrade in the country. I can't believe,

395
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:28,519
by the way, shout out to all you guys in

396
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,960
the chat who were talking that spack saying, hey, let's

397
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,839
take this a step further with the Northern Illinois played

398
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,640
them on the money line yet because they did it

399
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,160
to the Ramblers that was incredible.

400
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe they just got they got blown out. Yeah,

401
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,359
blow yeah.

402
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: But back to this one, Like, if you if you forced,

403
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,480
if you pinned me down for a side, I think

404
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,759
I would take Iowa State. I thought money Line like

405
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,319
where it opened Iowa State minus one. I thought there

406
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,680
was like a tiny bit of value there. It looks

407
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,119
like it's now up to two and a half even

408
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,880
three some places. So like, even though I agree with

409
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,519
the move, I wouldn't. It's not something I would want

410
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:06,599
to get in late on. And really the only reason

411
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,680
I have that I'm like would put me on the

412
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,079
Iowa State side is I think their defense. It is

413
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,160
like the thing I trust the most about this matchup.

414
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,519
But if hey, if Saint John's can turn this into

415
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:19,960
a crazy track beat type game. They can win a

416
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,440
game like that, So again it's it's probably not something

417
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,200
I'll have a play on.

418
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:27,599
Speaker 4: You know, I think Adam real quick, that Iowa State trio.

419
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,880
We know they're tested. Even though they haven't played big

420
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,359
name teams this year, they're returning top three Mimsilovich and

421
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,160
Lipsey and Jefferson, those guys have been through these.

422
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:41,599
Speaker 5: Types of wars.

423
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,079
Speaker 4: So I don't even know if I would consider the

424
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:44,839
schedule of problem right now.

425
00:20:46,319 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: That's a great point, really good point. All right, let's

426
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:52,599
get to so, let's get to questions. I've I'm gonna

427
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:56,799
get my parlay leg out right now. Again, it pays

428
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,000
to I guess to show up and watch live apology

429
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,640
in advance if you caught the replay to this, because well,

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,759
actually it could be good thing. If I lose, it'll

431
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,279
be a good thing. But hopefully we're not gonna lose.

432
00:21:09,319 --> 00:21:14,240
I'm gonna use Troy in the parlay. They are playing Toledo.

433
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:16,440
So I saw some people ask me about early games

434
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,039
and this was one that keeps coming up, so you

435
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:24,119
can actually, yeah, two, wow, this is even So I

436
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,200
guess we'll talk Troy Toledo here. It's one of the

437
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,920
first games off the board today. Eleven am tip, I

438
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,079
am going to take the Troy. You know what I'll

439
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,960
do for the parlay?

440
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: Brian Power?

441
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: While I'm breaking this game down, can you figure out

442
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,720
what the money line is for Troy right now?

443
00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:42,839
Speaker 3: Absolutely can do that because I actually have a two

444
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,599
screen set up here despite being on the road.

445
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: All right, So while he's looking that off, I'm just

446
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,160
going to talk about the game a little bit. So

447
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480
the reason I targeted this game, and this is the

448
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:54,759
only thing I've played so far today. I will add

449
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,640
plenty others, but like I've tweaked some things. After a

450
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,880
rough couple of days, I changed up my approach to

451
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,680
releasing plays a little bit. So the only thing I've

452
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,039
played so far Troy minus two and a half. It's

453
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,680
a three percent play for me, and I'm probably just

454
00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:10,759
going to use the Troy money line in the parlay.

455
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,359
But the reason I focused on this game is I

456
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,200
feel like I have a very good read on this

457
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,319
Toledo team. I believe I'm four and oh playing either

458
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,000
four or against Toledo this year. Brian Power and I

459
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,119
got to go out to Savage Arena. First week into

460
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,880
the season, we saw them play Marshall.

461
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: And the reason I.

462
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,599
Speaker 2: Feel like I have a good read on this team

463
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,359
is they're very They're a very different team depending on

464
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,279
what kind of opponents, what their opponent is going to

465
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,279
do against them. So those first two games where Toledo

466
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:45,000
looked awful, South Alabama and Marshall both have the ability

467
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:48,559
to play a very tricky style, zone type defense, and

468
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,359
with Toledo trying to dribble drive, dribble kick, it just

469
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,000
didn't work. The offense didn't look good at all, and

470
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,319
they lost both of those games. Now, Toledo comes into

471
00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:00,759
this game on a three winning streak.

472
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:04,039
Speaker 1: Big reason I think Toledo was able to win three

473
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:04,839
straight games.

474
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,519
Speaker 2: Wright State plays a lot of man, Youngstown State plays

475
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:11,759
a lot of man, and Detroit Actually I actually played

476
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:13,960
Detroit plus ten and a half in cash that game.

477
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,119
Toledo wasn't necessarily great in this that game, they just did.

478
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:19,839
They sort of willed their way to a win against

479
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:23,279
a lesser team. So like Toledo's got these three straight wins,

480
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,839
but two of them were at home. Almost all three

481
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:29,720
of them were very a very favorable setup. Now I

482
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,200
get why people are taking the points with Tuled, Like

483
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,079
I understand the thought process of the market saying Toledo

484
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,359
plus five is too many. Troy just came off of

485
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,920
these like two crazy games. It's now in a neutral court.

486
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,119
That's too many points for a neutral court, and I

487
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,480
just straight up disagree with that.

488
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:49,319
Speaker 1: I think this is a great matchup for Troy.

489
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 2: I think Troy's defense right now is underrated based on

490
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
the fact that they played Cal Northridge, who is like

491
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,079
just going to play offense and not defend at all.

492
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,400
They played USC, went to multiple overtimes, crazy game, San

493
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,839
Diego State couple lots, and also USC and San Diego

494
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,559
State are not I mean, are not Toledo like those are,

495
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,000
you know, borderline power conference to where one is a

496
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
power conference team from the Big Ten. San Diego State

497
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:18,680
might as well be a power conference team at this point.

498
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,240
And Northridge plays a game that there's just there, They're

499
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:25,279
not playing any defense, but they want they can score.

500
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,880
So I think you have a very deceiving sort of

501
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,200
profile here for Troy suggesting that Cross got Cross his

502
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,720
team isn't going to play any defense. I disagree with that.

503
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,799
I didn't agree with the move, and so at two

504
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:38,920
and a half. I just decided to jump in. You

505
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,440
can actually get two out there right now. But for

506
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,480
the parlay, I'm just gonna put the money line in.

507
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,160
So Brian Power, what is the Troy money line at

508
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,440
this one?

509
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 3: We can call it minus one forty minus one forty five.

510
00:24:50,039 --> 00:24:52,279
DraftKings got it at minus one forty. If we want

511
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,680
to give an actual number of book has DraftKings at

512
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,559
minus one forty two.

513
00:24:57,319 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: So let's go.

514
00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:00,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll call it minus one four. I mean, we're

515
00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:05,079
gonna have plus money on the parlay anyway. We need

516
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,799
to hit one of these.

517
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: We hit.

518
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: We hit three parlays in the first week, and then

519
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:10,440
we went two weeks without hitting one, which is why

520
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,799
I decided let's just give ourselves a better chance to

521
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:13,759
win and go moneyline.

522
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:14,599
Speaker 1: Go ahead, bright.

523
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: Well, and if anyone remembers from Friday, I know, obviously

524
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,200
we're coming off a busy weekend, and it was a

525
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,279
few days ago, and we've watched a lot of football

526
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:26,519
since then. We're all trying to, you know, breathe deep

527
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:29,480
and prepare for Feast week, Rivalry week. It's obvious this

528
00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:31,200
is one of the busiest you know. I don't need

529
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,119
to speak for Robert Trigg to say, it's one of

530
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,279
the busiest weeks of the year obviously in this business.

531
00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:39,559
But if you forgot on Friday we had that thing, man,

532
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,359
we have that, we have that parlay and.

533
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,279
Speaker 2: The second one that a team has totally died and

534
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:47,359
we cost.

535
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: Us over that one total.

536
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:53,559
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So again, there's been three days in fifteen

537
00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:57,960
shows where if you if you if you've bet them

538
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,039
all all three legs straight, you wouldn't have gone it

539
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,599
too and one. So we've hit a lot more than

540
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,359
we've got wrong. So I forgot you asked me something. Initially,

541
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,079
I can't rememberve it.

542
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: What it was, No, it rude it.

543
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 5: I was just fifty three first half points.

544
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,279
Speaker 4: I was like, and in the in the text thread,

545
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,839
I know, we're like, go Georgia, We're gonna win this thing,

546
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,200
and I'll be I don't know what happened to twenty

547
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,920
five second half points just and Tanita shot to win

548
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,680
the game on top of that is just great.

549
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they had two points in a ten

550
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,680
minute stretch or something like that was insane.

551
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 5: Just nuts.

552
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: So and with that being said, again, I'll I'll just

553
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,960
remind everyone that this is an eleven am tip. This

554
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:40,000
is I believe in Fort Myers, Florida. Yeah, I like

555
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:43,519
the Troy Trojans. I also, I just think they're a

556
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:45,960
better team. And then that the matchup sets up for them,

557
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,400
Like you mean to tell me they're going to be

558
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,599
tired from a triple ot game they played like three

559
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,119
days ago.

560
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:53,839
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't agree with that.

561
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: It would be one thing if it was like back

562
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,599
to back days, but that was a few days ago

563
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,759
at this point. Uh So, yeah, Troy eleven am tip

564
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:02,359
client played for me. I laid the two and a

565
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,680
half for clients three percent, So go ahead, Brian.

566
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: And I just I don't know if you guys wanted

567
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,319
to hit this game, and far be it for me

568
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,240
just to start taking over the formatting. But I just

569
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:14,319
wanted to shout it out because I just I saw

570
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,319
the chat. In the chat, somebody said this, and there

571
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,240
I actually completely agree with it. All right, Look Tony

572
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,200
Brook and Pacific. I think the wrong team is favored

573
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,960
there as well. I don't. I don't agree with Pacific, right,

574
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:32,839
I think, And then and the numbers moving, which is

575
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,079
very interesting to me. So I don't know. I'm just

576
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,000
from a pure rate. I saw someone said I think

577
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,400
the wrong team's favored, and I said, oh, that's an

578
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,559
interesting let me look at this, and I compared to

579
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,359
my power ratings and I said, yeah, I don't know

580
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,559
why the line has gone. I think this game should

581
00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:49,880
be a pick. To be honest with you, Tony Brook

582
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,480
is a slight favorite. So this is an eleven thirty

583
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,759
am Eastern tip in Daytona Beach.

584
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 2: By the way, Yeah, so what was because I had

585
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,359
I was like a little bit off on the number here,

586
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,400
but I didn't really trust my read on both of

587
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,039
these teams right now, So Brian, tell.

588
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: Like, what specifics up to four and a half, pacifics

589
00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:08,000
up to four and a half. I at that, I

590
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,640
have to take Stonybrook getting now getting four and a half.

591
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,079
I again, I I don't, I don't.

592
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:15,319
Speaker 1: I don't.

593
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:17,759
Speaker 3: I don't understand. I mean, unless if someone's out and

594
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:20,519
I don't know, you know, maybe someone you know, I

595
00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:22,960
had too had a little too much fun on Daytona

596
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:26,039
Beach last night. I don't that that. I olthough, I

597
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:28,960
just don't understand why we're seeing that kind of money

598
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,559
and it and the thing that scares you is when

599
00:28:31,599 --> 00:28:33,480
I look at it, looks like kind of sharp money

600
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,359
because circa with the four and a half first and

601
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,880
everyone else has followed now, So I don't know. I

602
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:41,720
will just agree with the comment the person in the chat.

603
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:44,200
It was in our chat before we even went live,

604
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:47,480
someone said I think they disagreed with this line move,

605
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:53,519
and I just wanted to let I apologize that I don't.

606
00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:55,559
I can't remember who said it, but I agree with

607
00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:58,000
that comment. Whoever said it earlier. I'll look up the name.

608
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: So and then I'll go to rob if to wrap

609
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,000
this up.

610
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: If he's got Ala miller O two is the was

611
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,720
the person there?

612
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: So I'll say about Pacific is Dave Smart is in

613
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:13,359
his second year there, and he was kind of like

614
00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:17,079
so I believe he came from like Canadian college basketball

615
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,079
or something, and I know like there was a there

616
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:21,160
was a lot of sharp people that were very high

617
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,039
on him going to Pacific. So like last year, every

618
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:28,359
Pacific game moved three or four points. But the thing

619
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,400
is that like it rare, I don't know that there

620
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,720
was a correlation between those line moves and like cashing tickets.

621
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:38,039
I think, like, yeah, sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn't.

622
00:29:38,119 --> 00:29:40,200
I would guess that it was it wasn't better than

623
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,599
fifty to fifty. I think, I think right angle, that's Pacific.

624
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,079
Like every time they play and they moved the market,

625
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:48,480
maybe they bet him again today. I don't know if

626
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,000
there's carryover from that from this year to last year.

627
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:53,720
Now where I'll disagree a little bit, Like my numbers

628
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,359
suggested that, like I was like off the market the

629
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,960
other direction, So I had Pacific a much bigger favorite

630
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:02,400
than the three.

631
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,119
Speaker 1: But again I don't.

632
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: That's these are two teams where I don't fully trust

633
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,880
my rating on Like Stonybrook, you know CJ lusters now

634
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:14,720
at Wilmington, I don't know that they really reloaded, so

635
00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:19,160
like I don't, again I don't. They are always scrappy though,

636
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,480
that's one thing. Like Stonybrook always gets left for dead

637
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,599
in that conference. They're always like better than they should be.

638
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:27,680
I don't really have much else other than the fact that,

639
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:29,880
like I will tell you going back to last year,

640
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:32,559
that if you faded these Pacific line moves in a

641
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:35,920
lot of cases at the better number, you're probably ahead

642
00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:38,640
because like they would move three four points, then Pacific

643
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,039
would lose the game outright. So again I wish I

644
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,680
had more to add there rob anything else on Pacific

645
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,400
Stonybrook for you.

646
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 4: No, but I'll move real quick, Adam, because we've got

647
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,559
so many early games. Let's just throw people out there

648
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:51,839
that could be of intrigue.

649
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,039
Speaker 1: Here.

650
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,079
Speaker 4: NC State, Seaton Hall. We've talked about Will Wade all

651
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,440
season long. Now he's gonna go try and win the

652
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:03,119
Maui Invitational against Shaquen Holloway. Shaheen Holloway, who you know,

653
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,680
since the preseason and maybe even earlier, has been preaching,

654
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,160
you know, the improvement in his team. It's very hard

655
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:13,200
to get a gauge on how good Seaton Hall is.

656
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,400
And again, this is a one way team, top heavy defensively,

657
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,240
less than zero capability offensively. To be honest, they played

658
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:27,480
five teams that really are nowhere near the class of

659
00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:32,880
NC State. They smashed all five, they defended all five.

660
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,920
It just comes into question now and obviously the market

661
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,480
thinks that they can't defend this NC State team. The

662
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:44,839
problem you would have is that sometimes these pit bull

663
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
like defensive teams get under the skin of teams that

664
00:31:49,119 --> 00:31:52,200
want to go and score and you know, be real

665
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:55,720
quick here. And to the other point, if NC State

666
00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:58,799
gets out quick, Seaton Hall can't chase. So it's a

667
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,200
crazy type of handcap here. It looks like the money's

668
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,640
moving towards NC State. The money's moving toward over thinking

669
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,079
that maybe NC State will.

670
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,799
Speaker 5: Dictate this thing.

671
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: I think the biggest question is Seaton Hall kids in Maui.

672
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:15,079
I don't know how often Seaton Hall gets to Maui,

673
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,920
and NC State will weigh to me. As I've said before,

674
00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:21,680
is just a guy on a mission with this team,

675
00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:25,440
probably has his team better focused. This is all obviously

676
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,960
guessing and reading between the lines from what we've seen

677
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880
so far this year out of NC State, but nine

678
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,400
and a half, which is universally available now, I think

679
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,640
maybe you take a shot here with NC State.

680
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 5: I don't know.

681
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: I would expect that Seaton Hall winds up chasing and

682
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,680
can't find their way back into that.

683
00:32:43,599 --> 00:32:44,279
Speaker 5: One real quick.

684
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: And I'll let you guys hit on this one. But

685
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,640
the Rutgers Tennessee game intrigues me a little bit. Plus

686
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,039
fifteen and a half with Rutgers the way they're playing

687
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:54,359
defense for Steve Piico this year, and Tennessee really has

688
00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:00,519
had ball protection issues. They're not necessarily a dominant offense team.

689
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:01,920
Maybe fifteen and a half.

690
00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:05,119
Speaker 5: Is too much. There maybe a good take with Rutgers.

691
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,359
Speaker 3: So I agree with Rob on both of those games.

692
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,440
I thought this NC State line was a touch at

693
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,680
the market agrees. I thought that number was a touch low.

694
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,960
I thought NC State should have been a double digit

695
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,400
favorite in that spot. So I agree. And then Rutgers Tennessee.

696
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,640
I'm glad Rob brought that up because I wanted to

697
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,480
talk about that game too. We talk about this player's

698
00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:31,440
ear format. How you know your opponent tomorrow? Okay, Tennessee

699
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:35,839
has Houston looming on the docket. Is there maybe a

700
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,559
look ahead factor for the volunteers? Look? I played against

701
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:42,480
Tennessee last week for a leg of the parlay. I

702
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:44,960
said it was going to be a sweaty, you know,

703
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:48,079
sweaty butt cheeks game at the end, and we were

704
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,960
kind of lucky to even cover thirty two and a

705
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,480
half drig because Tennessee did not shoot well and they

706
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:55,240
almost still covered. That's the concern right now when you're

707
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:58,160
if you want to bet against Tennessee today, that they're

708
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,440
coming off the game where THEYDN shoot were I know,

709
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,839
the third leading scorers out. I think this is an undergame.

710
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:08,440
Rutgers in Tennessee. I think two defensive minded teams. You know,

711
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:14,920
it's an early start in Vegas, sleepy first half, Maybe

712
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,320
Tennessee coaching staff with a mind on you, maybe a

713
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,079
little bit of the brain on Houston under is how

714
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:23,079
I would look at that game.

715
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:29,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, like inadvert inadvertently you have you can just timestamp this,

716
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,360
like the Garden State segment, We've got a little seat

717
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,719
and haul Rutgers.

718
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,599
Speaker 1: We'll do them together.

719
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,599
Speaker 2: I kind of I don't really have much to disagree

720
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,800
with either of those. Like as far as Anti State,

721
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,800
what I'll say is like I felt like VCU played

722
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,159
very good in that game. Like I don't think like

723
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,400
the NT State didn't cover against Virginia Commonwealth, But I

724
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,039
don't think it was because I had anything to do

725
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:53,800
with Anti State. I just thought VCU, you know, played

726
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,840
a good game. And if if VCU hit a couple

727
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,880
more threes, that's a different story. I mean, they you know,

728
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:03,199
they jacked up forty two to three pointers against NC

729
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,760
State in that game. They still hit thirteen of them,

730
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,119
which which isn't half bad. But like you look at

731
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:11,079
that game, NC State out rebounded them by quite a bit.

732
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,440
You know, it was like it was one of those

733
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,559
games where I you know, NC State turned the ball

734
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:20,079
over seventeen times credit to credit to VCU. I know

735
00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:23,280
it's Phil Martelli now, but he does play a style

736
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,960
a little bit similar to what VCU used to play,

737
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,679
where trying to turn the ball over and create some

738
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:31,840
some I guess you'd call it havoc if you will.

739
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:34,760
So again, I'm not going to knock NC State for

740
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,000
not getting the cover in that game. And I'm kind

741
00:35:38,039 --> 00:35:40,760
of with Rob. I think will Wade is going to

742
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,840
destroy a lot of spreads. I think when he can,

743
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,960
he's going to want to win by ten to fifteen.

744
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,159
And the one thing about Seaton Hall is you know

745
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,519
they catch an offensive drought at some point, which we

746
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,960
know Holloway's teams will and Ken do, and suddenly you're

747
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,960
down ten. So don't disagree with you there, Brian, as

748
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,840
far as like my rating on Tennessee a little bit

749
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,239
lower than the market, so I can't I wouldn't be

750
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,760
able to lay. I would There was no scenario where

751
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,039
I'd ever been able to lay fifteen and a half though,

752
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,320
And what I've said about Rutgers a couple of times,

753
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,559
which I'll bring back up to wrap up this segment

754
00:36:11,559 --> 00:36:14,320
and we'll move on. Even though this is a far

755
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,199
less talented Rutgers team, for Steve Pykeal, it's probably more

756
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,159
of his type of team, Like he really made some

757
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,719
big time concessions last year for Ace Bailey and Dylan

758
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,000
Harper that was not like he basically had these two

759
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:31,360
stud players, but playing a style of basketball that wasn't

760
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,320
really like his strengths, coaching at his strengths. So now

761
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,320
you have a Rutgers team. Yes, they're far worse than

762
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,119
they were from a talent standpoint last year, but they're

763
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,559
going to get back to playing that style of basketball

764
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,239
that got Rutgers from a bottom team in the Big

765
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,599
Ten to a tournament team back in twenty twenty one,

766
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:51,599
and I think twenty twenty two. So I'm a little

767
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:54,719
higher than the market on Rutgers. And so yeah, fifteen

768
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:55,800
and a half kind of makes sense.

769
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 3: Just one last point. We could put a ball on

770
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,159
it with Tennessee Tennessee five and oh straight out, but

771
00:37:00,199 --> 00:37:01,800
just one and four against the number. I would love

772
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,760
a non and cover here, and I would actually then

773
00:37:04,559 --> 00:37:07,639
maybe just you know, again, maybe I'm overthinking the room

774
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:10,559
here in a different room than normal. Obviously, but maybe

775
00:37:10,559 --> 00:37:12,559
we get a decent number on Tennessee against Houston then

776
00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:13,920
as at first time as an underdog.

777
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point, Go ahead, Rob, Sorry, we're you gonna

778
00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:18,639
say something.

779
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:21,639
Speaker 4: No, no, as much as I had to say on

780
00:37:21,679 --> 00:37:24,639
those two games I have I was looking ahead here

781
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,360
at some stuff that's moving, So go right ahead.

782
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: And buff leading out the Syracuse team or something today

783
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,480
if I missed, what was that?

784
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:33,679
Speaker 2: Not?

785
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: Did I not receive that medal?

786
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: Listen?

787
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,559
Speaker 2: I got again, Like there's a lot of comments coming in,

788
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,519
like we're gonna do the best to get to as

789
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:44,719
many of them as possible. You know, thank you, Drake

790
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,239
Dimes for the donation, very much appreciate it. That's a

791
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,840
good way to get your comments, Seene, because it puts

792
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,920
it in green. I can't possibly miss it. If that's

793
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,840
the case. He likes Northern Kentucky over Eastern Kentucky. He

794
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,840
says he's got it minus two and a half. Last night,

795
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:02,360
I see it's already three and a half. Let me

796
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,360
get to this game, and you know, I'll give you

797
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,880
guys a second to just, you know, find there's such

798
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,920
a big slate today. But but I want to make

799
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,960
sure we touch on this game. So this would be

800
00:38:11,559 --> 00:38:14,840
uh extra board because of Eastern Kentucky. If you're if

801
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:19,280
you're trying to navigate, and he's so I think he's

802
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,000
saying that he laid the three with Northern Kentucky last night.

803
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,119
Speaker 1: I so here's the thing. I can't.

804
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to disagree with you because I don't

805
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,559
feel like I have a great beat on either of

806
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:37,960
these teams. I have bet against, successfully bet against Eastern

807
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,920
Kentucky at times this year, but my personal number here

808
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:46,280
was closer to pick so I think I was I

809
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,599
was actually the Eastern Kentucky minus one, and so now

810
00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:53,199
that it's three and a half, I don't I don't

811
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:53,840
know if that that.

812
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: I would lay that again.

813
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,079
Speaker 2: I wish, I just wish I And I'll let the

814
00:38:57,079 --> 00:38:59,159
other two chime in if they have anything to add,

815
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,880
Like the these are just two teams now. Northern Kentucky

816
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,639
it is a home game for them, so you do

817
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,679
have the edge of like this isn't on an island somewhere.

818
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: This is a true home game for Northern Kentucky.

819
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: But again, I think right now with where just straight

820
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,159
up off of my numbers, I would grab that three

821
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:18,760
and a half with Eastern Kentucky. And it's again, it's

822
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,119
not gonna make my card. But that's just the way

823
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:23,679
I'm looking at it. Hope that you know, but I'm

824
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,559
rooting for you. I'll root for you because I have

825
00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:27,239
no action in this game. Does anyone else want to

826
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:28,719
throw something out for Drake Dines?

827
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,639
Speaker 3: Eastern Kentucky's not covered to spread this year unless if

828
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,639
my numbers are wrong, I believe they're oh for four

829
00:39:33,639 --> 00:39:36,519
against the number I could go to this game. I guess, Drake.

830
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:38,719
I know if if you were me, you would go

831
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,440
to scam. I'm in Northern Kentucky right now, a Cincinnati, Ohio.

832
00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:45,360
What if I after we're done here, what if I

833
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,280
just go up to the kids, my daughter, my niece,

834
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,519
and neph would say, forget about the zoo gang. We're

835
00:39:49,559 --> 00:39:53,119
watching Northern We're going to Northern Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky tonight.

836
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,960
So uh, I don't know that sounds yeah, well yes

837
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,639
it does. I don't know if I might be outvoted

838
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:03,679
on that, but who knows. I'm right on market here.

839
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,039
Actually I would on a neutral I would make this

840
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:09,440
a pick them. But obviously with the look Northern Kentucky

841
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:11,599
doesn't have like the strongest home court in the world,

842
00:40:11,639 --> 00:40:14,039
but I would make them slight favorites. So if you

843
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,679
got a good number, I say hats off to you,

844
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,800
Drake Dimes, and thank you for your contribution. By the way,

845
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,599
to the program. Remember to smash that light. But everybody,

846
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:23,440
it doesn't cost a thing.

847
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,519
Speaker 4: Adam, I'll hop in real quick with leg so we

848
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:30,159
can get this over with and then we can answer

849
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:34,079
more questions. I'm gonna look towards Arkansas State here tonight, guys.

850
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:37,840
There's been some movement in this price tag. They went

851
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:40,280
up from two and a half, which is obviously better

852
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,840
than having to lay four and a half. But I

853
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,719
like the line move and I think it's the right

854
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,119
side here. Ray Harper's been at Jacksonville State forever. We

855
00:40:48,199 --> 00:40:49,239
know what he likes to do.

856
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 5: He'll try to control tempo. It's interesting.

857
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 4: This is the first road game for Jacksonville State this

858
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,199
year in Arkansas State.

859
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 5: What know what you would call it here, But it

860
00:41:01,519 --> 00:41:03,039
was a tough, tough road.

861
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,599
Speaker 4: Trip, a two game swing to go to Saint Mary's

862
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,079
and play as tough as they did at Saint Mary's,

863
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,960
and it'd be asked to go to Dallas. I think

864
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,840
we talked about this Friday because I think I gave

865
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,800
the SMU team total to somebody on air to have

866
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,400
to go to Dallas and play Indy NFL's SMU team.

867
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,920
They get whacked one hundred to sixty nine. But now

868
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,920
they're back home against Jacksonville State in their first true

869
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,559
road game, the first real opponent Jacksonville State got to

870
00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:32,320
play at home with South Alabama. They promptly lost by six.

871
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,159
Now they're going to go on the road to play

872
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:36,679
a team that likes up tempo what they don't like

873
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:40,000
in their in the other side gym. And I think

874
00:41:40,079 --> 00:41:42,920
Arkansas State, just off of that watching that Saint Mary's game,

875
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,840
is a flat out better team than Jacksonville State right now.

876
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,280
So you're gonna give me home floor a team that

877
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,480
can score better. I don't know that Jacksonville State, other

878
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:56,679
than South Alabama, has been faced with a team with

879
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,400
offensive capability like Arkansas State. Certainly not with like Arkansas State.

880
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:04,360
I think it works against them here, So give me

881
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:05,400
the line move.

882
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 5: I get it.

883
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:08,639
Speaker 4: We're two points to the bad here, could have got

884
00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:10,159
in at two and a half. We're gonna hop in

885
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:12,079
at four and a half. But I think Arkansas State

886
00:42:12,119 --> 00:42:14,400
wins this game by three buckets or more. So give

887
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,400
me Arkansas State is a parlay leg minus four and

888
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:16,800
a half.

889
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,519
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I agree with that that that was something

890
00:42:21,519 --> 00:42:23,000
that was on my radar. You can always throw the

891
00:42:23,039 --> 00:42:24,679
money line and if you were worried about the number

892
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,800
since it is a three teamer, but if you want

893
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,960
to go four and a half, that's cool.

894
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: It's up to you.

895
00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, we could alternate alternate line at two? What are

896
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,480
they at two and a half if we go back

897
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,119
to the beginning?

898
00:42:34,559 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, no, See, that's the thing.

899
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: If you're gonna do that, you might as well just

900
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,119
throw the money lining because they're never gonna give you

901
00:42:39,159 --> 00:42:41,719
the right nods on an alternate line with the money

902
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,519
I would make far more sense than two and a half.

903
00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: But what do you want? What do you want to

904
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,679
go with four and a half for.

905
00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:48,599
Speaker 4: The parlam I'm looking right now, So they're about a

906
00:42:48,639 --> 00:42:52,159
two dollars favorite. We have to get our mathematician Brian

907
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:55,039
to if it goes money line, what's the difference.

908
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: In our I'll do then I can run the figure

909
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,360
it out, Adam, and if it's not that big of

910
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,320
a deal, we'll play money line two to one actually

911
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,119
doesn't sound like that bad of a price.

912
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 5: For a four.

913
00:43:04,519 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: It'll be.

914
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,639
Speaker 2: And the thing is, it's it regardless of what Brian

915
00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:09,920
throws in the parlor, like, we're still gonna be plus money,

916
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,679
so we might as well. That's kind of where my

917
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,000
head was at with Troy. It's like, well, let's just

918
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,960
see if we can give us ourselves a better.

919
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,599
Speaker 5: Win one, right, Okay, Yeah, let's play money line. Let's

920
00:43:18,639 --> 00:43:20,000
just go win one.

921
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 2: Speaking of the parlay, Brian, if you want to close

922
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:25,440
this out for.

923
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 3: Us, yeah, and then I'll I'll close the parlor. How

924
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,679
about this, I'll close the parlay legout and then I'll

925
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,800
answer the ou because people are asking me about oh you

926
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,000
George Mason. So all right, hold on here, we can

927
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:36,039
all do this together.

928
00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:38,199
Speaker 2: And then we'll get we'll get cues for buff before

929
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:40,599
the end of the show. I warn't, we'll get that.

930
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 3: All right. So I I hate giving the opposite of

931
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,719
something that somebody's already said in the chat because that

932
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,119
means they won't be happy. But uh, I'm gonna go

933
00:43:51,159 --> 00:43:53,760
with v M. I getting the seven and a half

934
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,960
at Buffalo here. So this is the time of year, guys,

935
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,760
You're gonna see some teams with either you know that

936
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,559
have either covered all their games haven't covered all their games,

937
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:05,360
And you have to ask yourself, you have to dig in,

938
00:44:05,639 --> 00:44:07,639
all right, is this real or is this a mirage?

939
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:12,039
With Buffalo? I think it's more of a mirage. Buffalo's

940
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:15,800
coming off a game against Vermont that was much closer

941
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,800
than the final score. What the key to this game is, Guys,

942
00:44:21,519 --> 00:44:24,320
VMI shoots a lot of threes. They're coming off a

943
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,559
not so good game from distance. Buffalo does not defend

944
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:30,840
the three well. So I think even if VMI is

945
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,719
not necessarily shooting a huge percentage, I think volume alone

946
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,159
gets the key. Debts inside the number here and I

947
00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:42,119
will take seven and a half. Don't have to worry

948
00:44:42,159 --> 00:44:44,280
I guess about you know mine, Just straight, We're not

949
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,760
gonna have to worry about whether or not the bet

950
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:48,039
money line or lay it here, because of course I'm

951
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:52,119
taking the points and I want to go v MI

952
00:44:52,599 --> 00:44:54,840
plus seven and a half to round things out.

953
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, but Buffalo, you have to just just.

954
00:45:01,519 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm trying to say here, just

955
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,480
like just the mindset you should have as a handicapper,

956
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:10,440
like Buffalo, starting five and zero. His team has so

957
00:45:10,639 --> 00:45:14,159
just to provide some context, the Buffalo Bulls were picked

958
00:45:14,199 --> 00:45:16,000
by many to finish near the bottom of the MAC.

959
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:21,559
They've been absolutely horrific since George Halkovich took over three

960
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:23,639
years ago. It was kind of a thing. I think

961
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:27,039
it was a so I was obviously Natoates. Then it

962
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:30,159
was like white Cell his assistant. That was still pretty

963
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,199
that it took over. That was still pretty good there,

964
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,760
and they kind of like, I know, like being close

965
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,400
to proximity to Buffalo.

966
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,519
Speaker 1: I'll get out to Buffalo games every once in a while.

967
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:42,199
Speaker 2: And like there was some I don't really know why

968
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:44,039
the school decided to go in a different direction, but

969
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,320
they did. They bring in Halcovich, who was like a

970
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,079
J Wright assistant, and he's been just dreadful since showing up.

971
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,840
That being said, like they went on the road and

972
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,760
won at DePaul as an eighteen point underdog. Pretty impressive,

973
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,280
I would argue, even just as so knocking off Vermont

974
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,599
that was like two four and oh teams Vermont coming

975
00:46:03,639 --> 00:46:06,639
into to their building. They win that game ninety four

976
00:46:06,679 --> 00:46:11,039
to ninety. But like this team just learned how to win.

977
00:46:11,079 --> 00:46:13,199
They certainly haven't won at any other point in time

978
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:15,639
for Halkovich. So are you really going to come out

979
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:17,719
and start laying seven and a half on a neutral

980
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,000
with them? I'm with you, Brian, I think I would

981
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:21,199
lean DM either as well.

982
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm throwing the fingers up, Trig, not to show off

983
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,079
that I'm happily married, but to actually point out that

984
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,880
three is the number of wins by seven points or

985
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,559
by less than seven points that Buffalo has. So while

986
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:37,079
they are undefeated, okay, we're talking about a five and

987
00:46:37,119 --> 00:46:39,039
oh team, they've covered this spread in every game. Here.

988
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,880
They have won three games by seven points or less,

989
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,880
one of them against Green Bay. We know that they

990
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,960
stink Southern Miss in the opener, So yeah, the DePaul,

991
00:46:49,159 --> 00:46:53,880
I mean, that's an impressive result, Okay, But I just

992
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:56,039
I just think that now you know you're at a

993
00:46:56,039 --> 00:46:58,440
tipping we call it a tipping point. Right, here's a

994
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,480
team that's been a surprise. They've covered the spread in

995
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:05,760
every game, and I don't know, I just think it's

996
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,960
kid of to I'm not saying they're gonna lose outright

997
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,360
by any stretch of the imagination, but I just think

998
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,800
that you know, this number's got a little rich at

999
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,920
seven and a half. Vm I is gonna come in here,

1000
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,079
you know, after three straight losses, and they're gonna compete.

1001
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:21,320
And I just again I did. Look, they got buried

1002
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,159
by Richmond last time out. It was a situation where

1003
00:47:25,159 --> 00:47:27,719
they just could not make a three twenty six percent.

1004
00:47:28,199 --> 00:47:29,960
We don't need that. That was two games ago. Actually

1005
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,199
I apologize the Stetson game was the last game. But still,

1006
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,000
I just think volume alone gets VMI in the number.

1007
00:47:36,119 --> 00:47:40,119
I think, Buffalo, where are they at three point? Defense wise?

1008
00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:43,360
It's it's very bad. It's like despite the start of

1009
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,880
me and I think it's like bottom twenty Okay, yeah,

1010
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,320
I was gonnay. I knew it was like bottom twenty

1011
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,719
twenty five in the country. So there you go. I mean,

1012
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,719
and if vm I is hitting those threes, then I

1013
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,679
do think they can win this game, outright.

1014
00:47:56,599 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: Rob, Rob, let's go back to you.

1015
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 2: Let's get a little more players air in in the

1016
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,159
final ten minutes. And well, I know Jay buff wants

1017
00:48:03,159 --> 00:48:05,760
to talk about this game. I showed up in the hoodie,

1018
00:48:06,199 --> 00:48:07,599
not because I like Syracuse to that.

1019
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:09,519
Speaker 1: I was just cold in what I was.

1020
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 2: Wearing prior, so I threw this one on. I'll root

1021
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,639
for sarahcuse here. I don't think I'm going to have

1022
00:48:13,639 --> 00:48:16,840
a play, and of course I'd love to see the

1023
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,119
local team win. But Rob like I kind of I

1024
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:23,199
mean that that opening number was awfully low for Houston.

1025
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: I kind of am where it's at right now.

1026
00:48:26,679 --> 00:48:30,159
Speaker 2: Certainly not going to punch back here, but I think

1027
00:48:30,199 --> 00:48:32,920
the current number of this game is probably right. So

1028
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,000
your thoughts Houston, Syracuse out in Vegas.

1029
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'll take something that Brian said a

1030
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,559
little while ago when he said maybe a little look

1031
00:48:41,559 --> 00:48:45,840
ahead for Tennessee because they're playing Houston tomorrow. I'll guarantee

1032
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,840
you Kelvin Sampson doesn't look ahead to anybody. I mean,

1033
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:53,719
it's just pound, pound and pound again. You know, Houston

1034
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,719
first half has been a thing for a while. I

1035
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,599
went back and looked at the results so far first

1036
00:48:58,639 --> 00:49:01,280
half forty seven to twenty five against Ryder, thirty nine

1037
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,559
thirty five over Auburn, only a four point differential. They're

1038
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:08,079
thirty nine to seventeen, smash Oakland by twenty two and

1039
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,719
thirty three twenty six.

1040
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 5: The fifth game I don't have in front of me.

1041
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,400
But you know, when you try to shorten Houston.

1042
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 4: Up, you try to go to first half, and like

1043
00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:21,039
I say, it's been successful, but here there's still eight

1044
00:49:21,079 --> 00:49:26,519
and a half. This is a team whose defense, if

1045
00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:29,239
you're not ready, they'll swallow you immediately, right, And I'm

1046
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,679
just not sure that Syracuse will be ready.

1047
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 5: It takes a little while for teams to try and

1048
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:37,599
even adjust.

1049
00:49:38,159 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 4: And Houston's so good on the boards too. I mean,

1050
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,760
they just crash boards and get second chances. They shoot

1051
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,159
a lot of threes this year, which is somewhat uncharacteristic,

1052
00:49:47,159 --> 00:49:48,840
but I feel like that number has been building up,

1053
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,960
up up. I can't disagree with anybody playing Houston first half,

1054
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,119
full game. And like I said earlier, some of that

1055
00:49:57,199 --> 00:50:00,480
reasoning is they won't look ahead to Tennessee, right, they

1056
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,760
don't care who's on deck for them. They just care

1057
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,000
about Kelvin Sampson. Just cares about whoever we're playing today.

1058
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,159
We're going to defend, We're gonna make them miserable, We're

1059
00:50:09,159 --> 00:50:11,559
gonna hold him to less than sixty points, et cetera,

1060
00:50:11,639 --> 00:50:14,760
et cetera. So I can understand the way people have

1061
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,400
gotten to this number, although I do see a little bit.

1062
00:50:18,519 --> 00:50:20,079
Speaker 5: I guess there's a few thirteen and a.

1063
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 4: Half I thought I saw a universal fourteen fourteen and

1064
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,559
a half before, So maybe there's been some punchback at

1065
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:27,840
that number. Maybe some folks think it's gotten a bit

1066
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:36,360
too high. Oh he's muted, Yeah, I muted.

1067
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: Sorry. I'll just wrap this one up and then i'll

1068
00:50:38,519 --> 00:50:39,039
go to Brian.

1069
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 2: We'll get a couple of mac thoughts at the horn here,

1070
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,519
because I see another one in the chat as well.

1071
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,559
I'll say about Syracuse is that the positive I'll say

1072
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:50,320
about them is I think they have a little bit

1073
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,400
more talent than they're getting credit for. I think that,

1074
00:50:53,639 --> 00:50:55,920
you know, they've been they were so dismal last year

1075
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,159
and they really just haven't been good in the Adrian

1076
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,039
Autry are era horrific coach by the way, But like

1077
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:06,920
the thing is with Autrey, it's like when you're talking

1078
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,719
about a fourteen point spread, Like that's where I'll start

1079
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,280
to like not care if I have like a coach

1080
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,480
I don't like as much, because it's really I think

1081
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:16,760
talent will cover those numbers in a lot of cases.

1082
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,679
Speaker 1: And the one thing about Q's is like I look.

1083
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 2: At the roster Kayane Anthony kind of looks good, like

1084
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,840
there's some upside there. They just got JJ Starling back

1085
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,519
in the Monmouth game. He's obviously very good. Freeman's really good.

1086
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:31,079
Like there are players here like this team very well

1087
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:34,599
could be better than they're getting credit for. I wouldn't

1088
00:51:34,639 --> 00:51:37,599
take hus Let's let's circle back to the line move.

1089
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,599
I wouldn't take Houston now after it's moved five points. Yeah,

1090
00:51:43,079 --> 00:51:45,719
I just don't have enough faith in Syracuse for this

1091
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,679
to be where I want to take the stand with them.

1092
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,400
So I will look for a spot to back Syracuse

1093
00:51:50,679 --> 00:51:53,320
because I do think they're a little bit undervalued against

1094
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,599
better competition. So you talk about C's like I bet

1095
00:51:56,599 --> 00:51:59,480
against them last time they had a game with Monmouth.

1096
00:51:59,519 --> 00:52:01,159
It was a quid play and I gave it out

1097
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:03,320
on the show here. Those are the type of games

1098
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,440
I'd love to go against q s. When they're big favorites.

1099
00:52:06,119 --> 00:52:08,760
They're gonna have a game coming up here, whether it's today,

1100
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,880
whether it's tomorrow, whether it's a week or two from

1101
00:52:12,119 --> 00:52:14,159
I think ten days from now, and they play Tennessee

1102
00:52:14,199 --> 00:52:15,000
up here at the Dome.

1103
00:52:15,159 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: Your boy will be at that game where they're gonna

1104
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:18,280
be there.

1105
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,079
Speaker 2: They're gonna be too big of a favorite, or they're

1106
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:22,039
gonna be too big of an underdog, and that's where

1107
00:52:22,039 --> 00:52:23,599
I'll take my stand with QS.

1108
00:52:23,639 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: I just don't think I can do it against Houston.

1109
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 2: Brian Power, talk to me about the Mac Ohio and

1110
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:30,960
then I'll hit.

1111
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,519
Speaker 1: Bowling green quick before we before we get out of here.

1112
00:52:34,039 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 3: I like the I agree or I don't know if

1113
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,880
somebody did say the under or not with the George

1114
00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:42,280
Mason Ohio you game, but that's how I like it.

1115
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,159
Ohu's playing slower this year than they did last year.

1116
00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:48,079
George Mason's plays are George Mason's excellent team at the

1117
00:52:48,159 --> 00:52:51,280
def at the defensive end as well. Market likes the

1118
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,719
under here, and I like the under as well. In

1119
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,039
that game, I don't know if this was where you

1120
00:52:59,079 --> 00:53:00,880
wanted to go next the other obviously, I think the

1121
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,320
Mac team most people are interested in today's Akron trig

1122
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,320
in the final out in the the Old Paradise Jam

1123
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:13,280
against Yale. I agree with the market move there towards Akron.

1124
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,440
This Acron team has been Is you talking about teams

1125
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,559
we downgraded earlier in the show, Okay, the Mississippi State's obviously,

1126
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:21,920
the Oil of Chicago's teams I'm upgraded. Are that list

1127
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,480
the Akron Zips are on it. Okay, this has been

1128
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,199
a very impressive team. They're only straight up losses to Purdue,

1129
00:53:27,559 --> 00:53:30,800
uh and, and they want a performance against Iona. I

1130
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,360
thought that number was a touch high. No it was not.

1131
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,800
And this is a revenge spot for the Zips. They

1132
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:41,440
lost last year at home to Yale. They haven't forgotten.

1133
00:53:42,119 --> 00:53:43,719
I agree with the market move there. I would I

1134
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,800
would lean Akro. I would go Acron on the money

1135
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,400
line to win the Paradise jam.

1136
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: I want to get Rob back in here.

1137
00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:53,639
Speaker 2: The one thing I guess like, I like that Yale

1138
00:53:53,679 --> 00:53:56,320
team a lot too, but I questioned their defense just

1139
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,519
to touch, do you have any interest in over and

1140
00:53:58,639 --> 00:54:01,639
Akroneille feels like there could be some efficient offense in

1141
00:54:01,639 --> 00:54:02,079
that game.

1142
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the first way I would look at that one.

1143
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,920
Not that I wouldn't look at Akron because I certainly

1144
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,960
think they're you know, at one and a half, and

1145
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,599
it's been a line flip in that game.

1146
00:54:10,639 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 5: Switch a favorite. So the money agrees with Achron.

1147
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean even on that total, we see

1148
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,679
one fifty four and a half open up to one

1149
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,760
fifty seven and a half. You could easily see one

1150
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:23,199
sixty Akron's a team that'll hang ninety on anybody, and Yale,

1151
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,039
for what it's worth, again, one of those teams that

1152
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:29,559
we've talked about often where they may not race up

1153
00:54:29,559 --> 00:54:33,559
and down the floor, but they're so efficient that they're

1154
00:54:33,559 --> 00:54:35,679
going to score their share as well. I'm real fast

1155
00:54:35,679 --> 00:54:37,800
here where we pivot off of that. I'll just throw

1156
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,159
in here my thoughts on Auburn Oregon in that wonderful

1157
00:54:42,159 --> 00:54:44,719
Player's era Championship that we couldn't figure out this morning.

1158
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:49,400
You know, my initial reaction was Dana Autman against Stephen Perl. Wow,

1159
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,239
I want Oregon, but I played against Oregon last week

1160
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,079
with Oregon State, because again, they haven't come out of

1161
00:54:55,079 --> 00:54:55,960
the gates firing.

1162
00:54:56,119 --> 00:54:58,159
Speaker 5: They didn't come out of the gates firing last year.

1163
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,599
Speaker 4: Dana Autman's a pretty honest coach, he tells you, and

1164
00:55:00,679 --> 00:55:02,400
he doesn't think his team is really good at his

1165
00:55:02,519 --> 00:55:07,039
particular time. And since that Betune Cookman game where I

1166
00:55:07,039 --> 00:55:10,199
remember texting, I'm like, this is Stephen per really going

1167
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,639
to lose to between Cookman and they almost did, but

1168
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,719
since then they've been dominant and they played Houston to

1169
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,159
one point seventy three seventy two, so the talent on Auburn,

1170
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,639
I think overall is better than Oregon. I somewhat disagree

1171
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,599
with that line move where they're betting a lot of

1172
00:55:27,639 --> 00:55:31,880
Oregon here for down to in some spots three and

1173
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,119
I'm looking at a couple here, major major players in

1174
00:55:35,159 --> 00:55:38,480
the market for smaller betters, you know, two and a half.

1175
00:55:39,159 --> 00:55:41,639
So I think Auburn might be a good side there.

1176
00:55:41,679 --> 00:55:44,360
We'll see, but I'm not going to downgrade Stephen Pearl

1177
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:46,119
the way I would have to start the season.

1178
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone asked about early games. Well, I guess we

1179
00:55:53,079 --> 00:55:55,920
have a I should recap the parlay now. Let's get

1180
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,639
the parlay and the promotion stuff done now, and then

1181
00:55:58,639 --> 00:55:59,920
we'll see if we can get one at the Horn.

1182
00:56:00,519 --> 00:56:03,000
But if you're looking for early games, two early ones

1183
00:56:03,079 --> 00:56:06,360
in the parlay, and so I'm going Troy on the

1184
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,880
money line for my parlay. Leg I laid two and

1185
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,199
a half for clients, and that game starts in literally

1186
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,079
four minutes, So Troy Trojans minus two and a half

1187
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,360
is a three percent plate for me. I used Troy

1188
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,199
money line in the parlay for our three teamer for

1189
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,519
the show, Brian Power went vm I plus seven and

1190
00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:25,679
a half that's a little bit of an earlier tip.

1191
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,199
And then Vino closed the parlay out with Arkansas State

1192
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,280
on the money line, I have a five percenter in

1193
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,639
the NFL tonight, if anyone cares, I've been in football.

1194
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,679
So that's what I have for you know, up for

1195
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,039
sale right now on the site. Anyone else have anything

1196
00:56:41,039 --> 00:56:42,920
to promote since we are supposed to do that at

1197
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,440
points in time on this show.

1198
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 3: Yes I did. I did, just notice. We hadn't talked

1199
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,519
about it. I do want to note, coming off the

1200
00:56:49,519 --> 00:56:52,840
strong Sunday guys, three zero and one overall for me,

1201
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,199
hit my game of the week in the NFL with

1202
00:56:55,199 --> 00:56:58,800
the Dallas Cowboys. How about that Cowboys? What a comeback?

1203
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,519
Speaker 1: That was about come back?

1204
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,159
Speaker 3: It was kind of weird down twenty one.

1205
00:57:04,159 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 5: I thing.

1206
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,039
Speaker 3: I actually didn't feel as you know, depressed as you

1207
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:08,320
probably would have thought. I was like, you know, I

1208
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:09,760
think we can get back. When it got to twenty

1209
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,440
one to fourteen, I was like, I think we're taking

1210
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,159
this one. And they did want it outright, despite a

1211
00:57:13,199 --> 00:57:16,400
lot of tom foolery from the Cowboys side. They were

1212
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,239
really trying not to win that game, but they did,

1213
00:57:18,559 --> 00:57:20,440
and I liked that so three to zero to one

1214
00:57:21,039 --> 00:57:23,079
did over the weekend. By the way, anyone who grabbed

1215
00:57:23,119 --> 00:57:26,000
that package, the college basketball package that Rob Trigg and

1216
00:57:26,039 --> 00:57:28,440
I offer each and every weekend where you can get

1217
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,760
all of our plays for one low price, was very

1218
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,800
pleased to cash My biggest play the college hoops season

1219
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,639
so far to date, that was the over in Northern

1220
00:57:36,679 --> 00:57:39,280
Iowa U see Irvine Trigg. I texted you very late

1221
00:57:39,679 --> 00:57:43,320
at night because that game did. That was a late

1222
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,480
tip and that game did not go over the total

1223
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,760
until very late at night because we needed overtime and

1224
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,880
we needed a last second shot in overtime. So it

1225
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,719
was very pleased that that happened after a couple of

1226
00:57:54,719 --> 00:57:57,159
college football games didn't go our way earlier on Saturday.

1227
00:57:57,239 --> 00:57:59,599
So yeah, I've got a play on the one in

1228
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:02,039
a FOOTBA game as well on the Panthers and Niners,

1229
00:58:02,119 --> 00:58:04,239
so people can check that out WT Dot Buzz, slash

1230
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:04,719
bat b.

1231
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: Rob anything to promote go ahead.

1232
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 4: I'll just close it out real quick as all three

1233
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,559
of us talking NFL here, but huge Sunday for myself

1234
00:58:14,599 --> 00:58:16,880
plus six and a half units yesterday in the NFL

1235
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,639
sit atop the Wager Top Rankings board in NFL all

1236
00:58:20,679 --> 00:58:23,880
season long. I believe number one since the preseason, number

1237
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,880
two if you're counting just regular season. So it's been

1238
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,960
a great NFL season and we got a wager Talks

1239
00:58:29,039 --> 00:58:32,239
run a season long promotion right now, guys, I believe

1240
00:58:32,239 --> 00:58:35,000
three ninety nine for everything throughout the Super Bowl. So

1241
00:58:35,039 --> 00:58:37,559
if you want to get involved in football, please do.

1242
00:58:38,119 --> 00:58:41,480
And also we got a big Thanksgiving NFL weekend coming up.

1243
00:58:41,519 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 5: So against the NFL has been great.

1244
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 4: Check out my home pagewt dot slash RV for football packages.

1245
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,079
Speaker 1: I'll throw one more out for you guys.

1246
00:58:53,559 --> 00:58:55,519
Speaker 2: People are still asking me about some of the early games,

1247
00:58:55,559 --> 00:58:57,760
some of the ones sipping off right now. I saw

1248
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,119
someone in the chat ask about Bowling Green. I was

1249
00:59:01,239 --> 00:59:04,760
tempted to lay the seven. I think there are much

1250
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,440
better team than Buck Noll. So Buck Noll I've talked

1251
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,519
about on the show a couple of times. They lose

1252
00:59:09,559 --> 00:59:12,159
Noah Williamson to Alabama. I don't think there's no way

1253
00:59:12,159 --> 00:59:13,880
they were ever going to replace a guy like that,

1254
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:16,199
But I think they're down from the team that that

1255
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,880
was the number one seed that won the Patriot League

1256
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,719
last year. Of course, they got upset in their conference tournament.

1257
00:59:22,039 --> 00:59:24,039
Brian Power and I saw Bowling Green in person a

1258
00:59:24,039 --> 00:59:26,440
couple of weeks ago. This team's solid. I think they

1259
00:59:26,519 --> 00:59:29,400
could be like much better than people think. Not going

1260
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,639
to ding them too much for the loss to William

1261
00:59:31,679 --> 00:59:33,519
and Mary. I felt like they maybe had a down

1262
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,639
performance coming at some point, and I kind of feel

1263
00:59:36,679 --> 00:59:39,400
like they bounce back here. My number was close, so

1264
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:40,960
I didn't get to the window with it, but but

1265
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,800
a pretty good lean towards the Bowling Green Falcons in

1266
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,199
that game. That's a noon tip on some island, probably

1267
00:59:48,199 --> 00:59:49,320
where somewhere in Florida.

1268
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:54,199
Speaker 1: I'm sure somewhere in Florida. I think they they close.

1269
00:59:54,719 --> 00:59:57,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think yeah, I don't think. Yeah,

1270
00:59:57,239 --> 00:59:58,599
I was say what you said was Iland? I forgot

1271
00:59:58,639 --> 01:00:00,400
where where I looked it up earlier? Say were this

1272
01:00:00,519 --> 01:00:02,000
Sun Coast Credit Union Arena?

1273
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: It's in Fort Myers's right, all right? We are at

1274
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,840
the hour mark. Thank you guys for bearing with us,

1275
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,920
huge slate. I know there's a bunch we didn't get to.

1276
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:15,519
But when there's this, this isn't this isn't your usual

1277
01:00:15,559 --> 01:00:17,239
Monday show. A lot of times we can get on

1278
01:00:17,239 --> 01:00:19,360
a Monday and hit like the whole board, but this

1279
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,000
is a feast week, so it's gonna get crazy and

1280
01:00:23,039 --> 01:00:25,679
we'll be back tomorrow ten am to do it all again.

1281
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,239
Enjoy the college hoops all day today and we'll see

1282
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,119
you guys ten am tomorrow morning.

1283
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:37,719
Speaker 1: Have a great day, everyone,
