My friends aren't degenerates, but I've never changed them. Liars, sheets, and hypocrites, not get time for a save. 45, 50, 45. There goes Davis! Oh my god! Davis is going to run it all the way back! Auburn's going to win the football game! She's the ocular. Three seconds and Miss Paul Jenkins gives it to Jenkins, for the championship! [CHEERING] You're listening to the Bet The Juice podcast presented by DeGeneres Jonathan. [MUSIC PLAYING] Bet The Juice podcast, Cody Mitchell, Connor Holliday here, week zero, my bad. There's in the books, week one is right around the corner. Games on Thursday, Games on Friday, Games on Saturday, Games on Sunday, and Games on Monday. The first week of college football is always the best. Week zero slate wasn't loaded with great games, but we did get a lot of great outcomes. How was it having football back in your life, Connor? Oh, I mean, it's the greatest feeling possible, especially for us when this is the time of year that we make money. And just to be able to see a game, it was amazing. And then to have three great games on week zero with crazy ass outcomes, crazy comebacks. It just gave you a little taste of what this season holds for us. And a season that we've never seen before either, with all the realignment with the 12 team coach, but we know I was telling somebody at my golf course job at work at basically for free golf. One day a week for six hours, I do not know how to let me do it. But I was asking them, think back, go back to 2012. That was 12 years ago. We were having a computer pick the best two teams in football to play to determine the national champion. Yep, how fucking out a day is college football? I mean, considering years up to that, it was just kind of decided by voters. Yeah, I mean, that's, I mean, go back another 20 years and that's what that was. I mean, for its existence, college football has kind of screwed up the postseason. And for the first time, it feels like, I know there's a lot of backlash on it, but still it feels like we have the best way to decide the national championship ever. Not to mention, I do expect it to grow soon, because some big time program is going to get left out because of how big the conferences are and somebody gets dealt a Florida schedule and let's say Texas gets dealt a Florida schedule and not a Vanderbilt or two, shitty. Mississippi State gets dealt a Rutgers kind of schedule. All right, I guess you could just say Rutgers and they get in and they're going to bitch and it's just going to continue to grow. Yep, but as far as the games, let's start off. There's obviously we're going to start but the first game in Dublin, Ireland. Georgia Tech upsets Florida State 24 to 21. They kick a walk off field goal. Cash, the plus 12 and cash the money line we were both on as well. Connor, your biggest takeaways from this game, are you, is this change, I know you're already down on Florida State, is this change your opinion on them or is, like the Florida State loses this game for Georgia Tech to go out there with now? I mean, the biggest thing, especially the next couple weeks is just don't overreact. But, I mean, I was all kind of already on the Florida State down train and it was just because you've had so many times that you've had hits in the portal. You can only have that kind of luck for so long and like you got DJU, I think you brought him in not to lead you to a playoff. I think kind of keep the floor from falling out. Like I still think that Florida State can be, like I'm not thinking, oh now they're not going to make a bowl. I still think they could be an eight-win team. I think they're still going to be tough out. The hardest thing is like week zero and now everybody in the world will know how to defend you until you could potentially stop it. 'Cause with DJ's limitations as a passer it was kind of funny watching the games and watching college football Twitter react. Like, and just like normal people that probably didn't watch Oregon State games and were like, what is DJ doing out there? Like his, at one point his average air yardage was negative point zero or negative point seven or something like that. Have you not watched DJU play throughout his career? It is nothing but dump-offs. The one thing that I think was missing that was at Oregon State where a lot more deep shots but I think one of the things that I was worried about this Florida State team that kind of came through through wishing is like, where's the, who's the guy in the wide receiving room? Like they, the wide, I'm trying to take as much blame off of DJ as I can because he did what he was asked to do but I don't think the wide receivers are up to par especially after what you had last season. The O line that was touted that would be like one of the best that Florida States had and while kind of got pushed around a little bit and a lot of people hyped up this defensive line and yeah, you have two athletes on the edge. The one thing that both those guys lack is presence in the run game. Like they're good edge rushers. Like they're good edge pass rushers. I don't know if they're good edges because like in the run game, who the offensive line for Georgia Tech was just kind of bullying that D line. - Well, I would say is kind of watching that game. I thought that Georgia Tech kind of controlled the line of scrim is expected. Their offensive line was basically able to handle anything that Florida States sent them. - I mean, if you look at the yards before contact, Florida State was at half a yard. Georgia Tech was at three and 3.3 yards. Like they're, and especially on that first drive, it was like 10 yards down the field before contact. The combination of Haines King and just, God damn it, I'm blanking on the running pack's name and no, it's Haines, 'cause it was like Haines and Haines were just absolutely-- - I'm also blanking on his name too. - I know, this is terrible. - Great boss, Jamal Haines. - Yeah, Jamal Haines, like he was just finding whole, it wasn't even just him, Alexander, when they threw him in there were just finding the holes and yeah, like when I was looking at the stats, Peyton only ended up with one tackle. Jones had two tackles and I think one tackle for loss, but that tackle for loss was on the fumbled snap that I almost thought that was where Georgia Tech was gonna fucking blow it on the last drive where-- - Yeah, that was-- - When that happened, I was like, oh God, this is over. They're gonna fucking choke this away, but I mean, on the one side I was down on Florida State. You and I were kind of on Georgia Tech. You and I both took the win total over four and a half, I do believe. - It was, yes, that was, they were in that group of teams where we were like, the record won't show how good they are. - But I think this team as a whole is pretty upgrade. I know you didn't really ask Haines in the passing game to do much, but he did have the fumbled snap and then there was, I believe there was another fumbled snap that both bounces went your way. And I think even after the one, they ended up converting a third in 12. The other one, they obviously get the nice screen pass to get back into field goal range and keep him in bounds. I know a lot FSU fans were upset about the fact that it looked like he did get knocked out of bounds. Here's the thing, they kick the field goal and you have less than 40, at the time it would have been 45 seconds, but you were working with maybe 35 seconds in total after the kickoff and everything to go down the field, line up for a field goal, which, yeah, if it's Gerald banged a 59 yarder and a 52 yarder, but still you're trusting DJ to do that. And if you saw how the first half ended with their clock management, why do you have any promise that they're gonna be able to move down the field? But I don't wanna continue to bash Florida State. I mean, Georgia Tech's offensive line was the winner of this game. They got great push in the run game and they just basically neutralized that defensive line. Haynes King obviously showed improvements even though he didn't need to throw the ball. He kept the ball out of harm's way. I believe he registered zero of his throws were actually interception worthy and there were a couple of his incompletions that wide receivers were falling down on the field. I don't know, the rain affected a lot of the wide receivers near the beginning of the game. But still Georgia Tech. I, we kept saying there's, I'm not fully ready to give Florida State this game. And this is why Florida or Georgia Tech played giant killers when no one really gave them a shot outside of us. Yeah, we were on the money line and we were on the spread. I will say the one thing is I, yes, I had Haynes King is the my second ready quarter back in the ACC. I'm not completely sold on Florida or on Georgia Tech. Yeah, I want to give it a few more weeks because. No, yeah, you don't. Haynes King throws three picks in Georgia State next week. A terrible Georgia State team wouldn't shock me. Yeah, I mean, there's, there's still some check on hide to Georgia Tech potentially. We just happen to see in a standalone game. Good Georgia Tech. Yeah, which, but I mean, the, if you're a Georgia Tech fan, even if like you only go six and six with this schedule, the future looks pretty bright. Like, Brank, he's doing a good job there. And they've, and subsequently after this, they got some pretty big recruiting wins. Ended up getting a five star tackle. It's going to be paid out the ass for. Yeah, but also a defensive tackle that was previously committed to Georgia. So the future looks pretty bright for Georgia Tech and I mean, for Florida State, can you now, like you have the opportunity to bounce back. Obviously you kind of be, got to be Georgia Tech fans if you have any hope of making it to the playoff outside of winning the ACC. But I mean, DJ is just going to have to prove like, everybody's going to stack the box now and say, you're going to have to beat us over the top and. And if, if you're a Florida State backer and you still think they have a chance to make the playoffs, like right now is the best time to buy. I know right now I'm pretty sure their ACC odds are up to plus five 50. Yeah, this is going to probably be the highest it's going to be. In my opinion, I'm not willing to touch it. I don't think they will, but if you want to do that, like that's, this is the best time. They're at their, the stock is at its lowest. It's probably going to be all season long. Yep. Okay. All right, we'll talk about this one. Montana State 35, New Mexico 31. Let me tell you, if a team scored two defensive touchdowns, held a 17 point lead entering the fourth quarter and was up 10 with less than four minutes left in a game, what are your odds you think they would win that football game? 99.9 It's something like that. I had a New Mexico and Georgia Tech money line parlives, 26 to one that I was ready to run to the window and cash. But the Bobcats, the FCS Bobcats scored 21 unanswered in the fourth quarter and they upset New Mexico. Weird flooky ass game that just turned into an amazing game. I'm getting sucked, I hit it every part of it. I mean, he said it would have come back from by Montana State. That run game, though, for them is pretty damn good. I mean, the biggest spark was that 93 yard touchdown run on the first play after it looks like New Mexico's head, or like pin them pretty fucking deep with, I think it was only four and a half minutes left. Yeah, that was the longest run I've ever seen by a wiker. And I mean, when you let that happen, it was like it's not this is far from over. I believe Montana State had two time outs, but also like they weren't getting much in the passing game. So you had to feel good going into the fourth quarter with that lead, but also at the same time, they got some flooky plays or flooky bounces their way for touchdowns on defense. I know the one was definitely his arm was going forward. And the other one, oh, yeah, it was just take the sack and you try to try to make a plan. But New Mexico showed some definite promise on offense. Yeah, damn damn peers really good. Yeah, for still a team that I think is at the bottom of the Mount West, they're gonna make the Mount West a lot of fun. Like I do believe they're gonna end up catching somebody, whether it be a for a Boise State, Fresno State. I don't know what their schedule fully is, but there's definitely gonna be somebody on their schedule that they're gonna get that one QB. I wanna call it a draw because it is such a delay for when he takes off, but when he just held stood there with the ball in his hands with his back to the defense. And then just takes off, nobody was gonna fucking catch him. Just, yeah, it's tough for New Mexico. Well, I've been a great game for Brock O'Mendenhall to get his career or season started at New Mexico. Still have a little bit of a question on kicking it. I forget what. Yeah, I don't understand. He was trying to kick and literally like a hurricane. I mean, there was literally footage of a camera from the top of the stadium that got knocked over the side by the wind. So I don't know why you're trying to kick it there, but obviously he's a FBS football coach and I'm sitting here with a microphone in front of me. Yeah, I very much questioned what he was trying to do there, but all in all, it sucks. It was a, partly you probably never should have a chance of winning, but it just came so close and fell so short. I am downgrading though Montana State a little bit in my FCS rankings. Not that I have any, but... I am going differently. I actually, my biggest takeaway is, I don't think Nevada and New Mexico are as bad as I thought they were. No, I don't think that, but I, obviously the defensive touchdowns kind of changed the outcome of this game. Take those away and that's literally making this a 17 to a 35 game, but I mean, they like it, for Montana State, they have championship pedigree and you kind of saw it at the end of the game being able to overcome and win this game, but... Yeah, this next game is the team I think I was more impressed within the New Mexico game, SMU 29, Nevada 24, fall short on laying the points in Nevada, or with SMU, by a mile. Yes. Pretty sure every single underdog list, again, they covered by more than a touchdown. Yeah, the underdog's a four know this weekend. I don't know if it was the injury or what, or what Ashley was trying to do with rotating the quarterback sandwich. I've never been a fan of doing like, this is your drive, this is your drive. I know he really rotated. Jennings only got one fucking drive. He got two drives. He was in there of two drives. I mean, I only recall the touchdown drive that I really saw him in, but I could be wrong. Yeah, he got two drives in there and, to be honest with you, I thought it looked like the better quarterback, the majority of the game till the very end. But also wacky game too, 'cause this starts with the Preston Stone interception where it wasn't a, it was just a bad throw. I don't even think it was an under throw. Yeah, which is a bad throw. Yeah, and cause the safety or corner to undercut the route. And literally it was funny that that was, like where's the money on? Pick any quarterback to have the first interception out of all the quarterbacks that we had playing. You had TJ and Haynes playing in the first game. New Mexico playing in the second game. Preston Stone to have the first INT would have been a lot of money. I know they do stupid props like that for the NFL, like who has the most passing yards, who has the most picks. But yeah, I wouldn't have guessed Preston Stone to have the first pick of the season, but it just seemed like something was off. But somebody that I told you guys to watch out for, RJ Maryland fucking dog. It was like that fourth quarter where he ended up with, what was it, eight receptions, 162 yards and one touchdown. He's like, I know obviously the quarterback has to throw it to him, but he single-handedly won SMU this game. There was the crucial fourth down where he sits in the right spot for Preston to get a completion. The touchdown was just, I mean, I know Preston put it in the exact perfect spot, but still like that catch was insane. An absolute dog, but I am a little bit worried about Preston Stone and like a lot of second-guessing himself. I don't know what it was. He were such a gunslinger last year. Granted, I understand like a lot of people question the opponents that SMU was playing last year, but still, I don't know. I do give a lot of credit to Nevada though, like-- - They should've won. - This is a team that has just continued to get better season in and season out. And that's worrying me considering you and I, well, you talked me into taking Nevada's over or under on the wind total. - Yeah, I know. I'm very nervous about that. They should've won this game. 100% should've won this game. If it wasn't for that, SMU scores a touchdown. Nevada calls for a fair catch. Muffs the punt. It gets down to the one. They get a safety two plays later. I don't think SMU wins the football game. I'll tell you one thing about Nevada's defense is nasty. - Yeah. - I don't know if they're good, but they're nasty. - No, they were playing like that secondary, but in the first three quarters was causing problems for SMU. - Yeah, I don't feel good about that one, but now I, to be honest, I love my under eight and a half wins for SMU or under eight and a half wins for SMU. They're not winning nine games. - I wasn't trying to overreact, but I was-- - I'm overreacting. - Well, no, I was trying to find that cash out on my future for them to win the ACC. - Yeah, it's, because like you said with the schedule, the schedule was, that's a real thing. They played the bottom half of the American all season long. They probably weren't the best team in the American last year. - Yeah, it's like it's gonna be interesting to see how they bounce back. - But let's also not, again, I'm overreacting. You probably should because we've seen a lot of crazier things happen. - Yep. - And then the nightcap, I tried. I really did. - I couldn't, but they didn't have it available for me. So I decided it was time to sleep. 'Cause also I had to wake up early. Well, I shouldn't say early, but I had to wake up in time for somebody's wedding shower. - This is one o'clock. - I know. - Yeah, but I-- - I did make it on the weekend. - I didn't make it. I tried so hard, it was 11.45 and I was like, nope, coniquettes went to bed. But Hawaii 35 Delaware State 14. We follow up short here too. I don't know what you do. I ended up, I made money because of the FCS games I bet. And then Georgia Tech money though, and definitely helped me a lot. - I, if Georgia Tech was like the biggest units, I was betting. So like made out on that, lost everything else. But I am sorry for you, but I hit on live Montana state money line and also hit on SMU live money. - That was-- - The Montana state one though, I completely thought I duffed it so that you could win. Because I placed it when they were coming back out from halftime. And then right at the start of halftime was the second defensive touchdown. And I'm like, well, I just made this a layup for Cody. And then the miraculous happens. - I grabbed SMU live too. And then it was kind of opposite of what you just did. Right when I did that, the guy fun was the punt. And they get the ball, they get the safety and they come right back. So that definitely helped me a little bit. I would have been three and two anyway, but this one, I didn't really have a lot of faith in it. I threw the lowest amount of units on because basically it was my last game. I had the team total over 24 and a half. Looking back if I was watching it, Hawaii scores 14 pretty quickly in the first half. And then that was-- - Yeah, took the foot off the gas a lot in this game. I am for like the other bet that I took was the Hawaii team total over what was it? What was it, 40? - 40 and a half. - Yeah, and I wish I would have known that they were gonna take their foot off the gas that much. I still thought that the Delaware state would have allowed at least 49 points. But this is why you keep the units low, especially on games you have no fucking idea. - Yeah, I learned that that's kind of what my, from reading a lot of reports from my games, they kind of took their foot off the gas and Brayden Shagger did not play like his best game. He was kind of off a little bit. - Plus like you have UCLA on deck. So you're not really trying to show anything. - Yeah, so I mean, I don't really have a lot of handicap on this game. Delaware state still stinks. Hawaii, I was bullish on in the off season. I'm still gonna be a little bit bullish on. I'm not gonna take too much away from that. - Yeah. - But we do have week one here. We're gonna give all our picks for Saturday out on Thursday. But for today, we're gonna do the Thursday and Friday game. See you ready to pick some games? - Yes. - Little foul, pick this off. On number 99 of the defense, half-free tackle the quarterback. He's giving them a defensive down hill. - You know what? It'll be nice having a little extra cash to bet on college football. Yeah, I'd like to bet 100 bucks. - You wanna pick a team? - No, just take it. - The work week is almost over. Sit back, relax and get in on the action, and enhance your game day experience. It's time for the bet. The Juice Podcast College Football Picks of the Week. - All right, Connor, the board is yours. Let's start with the Thursday games. Give me a pick here. - I only have two picks. I'll give out the one that I have the least faith in. I know a lot of people have flipped and have been saying that you need to lay the points. I don't care. Give me North Dakota State plus 10. I know that there's a little bit of worry about potentially North Dakota State missing some players. Obviously they lost their head coach to be USC's linebacker coach. I don't care. This team has the pedigree. They have had this game circled against Colorado. A lot of the players are definitely going to want to win this game. So I'm going to go with the team that, in my opinion, wants it more. - Do you believe in that? - No. - Yeah, but I'm laying them with Colorado, minus nine and a half. Here's my reasoning. I'm not high on Colorado. Athlete for athlete, North Dakota State is not going to be able to match them. And if you look back at the FPS teams, they have beaten or kept it close to. It's like Iowa State pit. Guys that are not going pro in, they're going pro in something other than football. This is an Ohio State Iowa in Lucas Oil, big 10 championship kind of thing. There's too much, too many athletes on Colorado side. And this is not your grandpa's North Dakota State. They have lost their fastball a little bit. They lost four games last year. I don't love Colorado. So this probably would shock all the listeners. But I think they can get them by at least two touchdowns, if not like 20 points. I think Shadir has a field. The all American safety for North Dakota State is out. So I expect Shadir to kind of have the field day. If I could bet a player prop on a college player, I bet his overpassing yards, but the state of Ohio does not allow us to do that. Moving on here, I have, I'm laying the, I don't know if I want to, okay, so here's, I want you to help me, to help me with this one. 'Cause I want to bet on this game, 'cause I think there's a good bet here, but I don't know which one I want to do. It's UCF in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is going all the way to Orlando to play this game. The spread is 40 and a half, over under 63 and a half. UCF typically kind of beats the shit out of these schools. Like they destroyed Kent State in week one last year. - Yep. - I've upgraded a quarterback this year with a guy that I think also fits Malzon's system a little bit better. Would you like the 40 and a half more, or would you like the 63 and a half more? 'Cause I think that UCF themselves can get into the 50s, the 55s. New Hampshire is replacing Max Brosmer, the quarterback of Minnesota, who was a finalist for the FCS Heisman award last year, but they're not a terrible FCS. And I don't know if UCF's defense is gonna be able to just pitch a shutout. - I mean, I only have one more pick for Thursday and I only have one pick for Friday. These spreads are so high. It's like, and you're playing such a lesser opponent, like how do we have another Hawaii Delaware state game where they take their foot off the gas? - So I'm gonna do this one. I'm gonna take the over 51 and a half team total for UCF. It was not there when I looked this morning. So that is gonna be my bet. - All right, last one for me on Thursday. I know that there's a little bit of questions on who's actually gonna start at quarterback. I think they go with the smarter pick in Max Johnson. I'm laying the points with UNC. There are questions about Minnesota's running backs, Taylor and God damn, I'm forgetting the other running back. Either way, there's questions about running back for Minnesota. I'm gonna go with the team that wins. Like I know Brosmer may be better, we don't really know, but I'm gonna go with the known commodity at quarterback with Max Johnson. And in my opinion, the better running back in Omario Hampton. - Oh, that's without a doubt. - So yeah, I'm laying it with UNC when we were talking about this game in the off season, I was prepared to take Minnesota. I've just completely flipped and I'm taking what should be the more talented team. Obviously the step up in competition is gonna be huge on how Brosmer does in this game. - We should have thought an FCS defense. We haven't seen UNC produce like a halfway decent defense. - No, but at the same time, the talent is gonna be a lot different than what he was dealing with in the FCS. So yeah, I just think I'm betting on the more talented team. I know that's hard to say because really does UNC have that much talent by most standards. No, but when you look at that blue chip ratio, they're always at the top. So eventually the cream will rise to the top. So I think UNC comes away with this game. - So I had to pick a bet on this game. So I ended up going with Minnesota, give me the plus two. Hence, because I am a believer in Max Brosmer and I don't think Max Johnson's a very good quarterback and he's very average. And if they do that two quarterback bullshit, like we just saw how it happened. What happened last week, it does not work. Find your guy, you stick to him, give him confidence. And this podcast might just be something where we're going against a lot of things that I like to say, like I just bet on Colorado. I always talk shit on the Big Ten because I think the bottom half is very much, the talent level is not great. But I will say there's one thing I do like about the Big Ten is when you go into a Big Ten, like go to a Big Ten school, I have just more faith in the way they play football versus like finesse teams where it's more of like a pass happy. It's not a hard-nose football team in Minnesota is that. And I think they can get this done. I think they win the game outright. And with PJ Fleck in seasons where they have expectations, it's kind of like a Dave Dorn effect. They kind of fall short when no one's talking about them is when they overachieve a little bit. And they got a little bit of revenge on their mind after last year when UNC beat the shit up and ran the score up a little bit. Not that confident, but this is the best game maybe outside of the Colorado North Dakota state game to Thursday. So I'm going to have to put some money on it. So I'll take the plus two. Two Friday, how many you got here, buddy? - I only have one and... - Dude, I'll talk. If it's not this one, I'm talking to you into one of them. - Well, I'll start with my first one and... - You only have one? Yeah, my only one. - Oh, God. - Apologies. I'm going to take the Oklahoma first half, or first half minus 27 and a half. They're going up against Temple. Temple lost a lot, no EJ Warner anymore. So no matter what, you had a downgrade at quarterback. And I feel like Oklahoma's going to want to show out early and just shut the lights off. So that's why I'm sticking with the first half and not taking the whole game. I just feel like they shouldn't allow any points. And if they just need to get four touchdowns, I think they do that with ease. - Dude, I'm on laying the 42 and a half. I think they destroyed them. I'm worried about just pulling the guys at the end. - Today scored 70. They won't beat Arkansas State Week one last year, 73-0. It'd be Tulsa 66-17. Look, the Heisman Trophy favorite could have returned to Oklahoma but was pushed away because of Jackson Arnold that was behind Dylan Gabriel. They would have done everything in their power if they didn't have faith in this kid to perform. I'm not saying he's going to hire to win the Heisman but I still think he's going to be a damn good quarterback. I think Oklahoma just hangs a giant number on them. And kind of like you said, this is, it's not an SEC game but your first game as an SEC team. Like I think you've got to put some style puts on. And it's a Thursday night or a Friday night, sorry. I think they mop Temple. And I think I put Temple on the same level as like ULM and New Mexico State. So I think they're one of the worst FPS programs. I think they just kill them. I got the number at 42. I would lay the 42 and a half. The hook's not scaring me one bit. - Oh, we're kind of on the same thing. I'm trying to get out of this game quick. - Yeah, I get that and that makes sense. My thing is I think they're going to put up such a big first half, they can pull their starters. And then Casey Thompson is the backup too, who's a competent quarterback too. So I think he can still move the ball on this Temple defense anyway. So I do have two more for Friday night. No, I don't have one more. I actually have one that I'm considering. Did you lean in, what side would you kind of lean in this FAU of Michigan States at 14 right now? - I don't know, I wanted to lay it with Michigan State just because of how you and I are on this team. - But it's game one. - Yeah, it's game one. Tom Herman's doing some good things down at FAU. I know Casey's no longer there, but also he didn't play all last season. - I think Noah Kim was announced as starter today. I want to believe it was Noah Kim. - Former Michigan State kid. - I thought he went to Coastal. - Oh, about, yep, I'm thinking to Coastal, you're right. - I thought it was the Marshall transfer that ended up going to FAU. But either way, like if we bet it, it's kind of betting on that, oh, Aidan Childs is just so much better than everybody's thinking. - He's told us to bet the Michigan State went total over. - Yeah, that was kind of funny that he-- - I love that. - No, I know, and I'm glad that I bet on, or back to quarterback that says that. But I don't know, just first game like trying to get familiarity with the wide receivers may not be taken as many shots. Also just at the same time, just trying not to show much. So you could still catch your, I believe their next game is a big 10 game. - Michigan State? - Yeah, I thought they went to Maryland. - They do go to Maryland next week. - Yeah, so you don't really want to show much, but I don't know, if there was another game for me to play, it would have been that game. And if anything, I was gonna lay it with Michigan State, but I don't know. - A game, okay, so I'll stay away from that one. You didn't sell me enough on that. A good game that we're not gonna talk about, 'cause I think I'm just gonna, I'll probably throw something right before the game starts. But I think it's a great game. It's Jacksonville State's laying two and a half at home when it's coastal. That's who I was thinking about Noah Kim. - Yeah, yeah. - The start there. I had to lean Jacksonville State. I don't willing to give it out anyway, but I do have one more play. On Friday night, at 10.30, I took the plus nine and a half with Stanford. - I wanted it, I was hoping it was gonna be 10, but. - That would have been nice. I just, it's a lot, a little bit of a fate of TCU. And I think they could be kind of soft. And Troy Taylor, this is year two in his system. He was phenomenal offense in mind at Sacramento State. I think Ashton Daniels, 'cause I think this is gonna be a shootout. And this is something where the toe-- - Yeah, I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on the over-- - The over 61 and a half is in play as well. - I might just be a little bit bullish on Stanford. So I'm throwing a little half unit on them. It's at 10.30 at night. It's the last game on Friday. I got it better. - No, I agree. By kickoff, I'll end up probably having a play on it, but nothing that I'm willing to give out here. - It's fair. All right, we will be back on Thursday with the rest of the week once Lake College football is back. - We're literally gonna be just betting on games on the show till the mid of April. We're so back to it. - Yep, we are. - We'll see you guys later this week. - Peace. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
