Back to the episode. A barstool pick'em week three. We are back. Dave, your team is dead? Definitely not. 9-7, second half. Your team is dead, Dave? Whole new, basically roster, new quarterback, new offensive line, new wide receivers, a lot of new defensive guys. We won the second half 9-7 versus a great Texas team. Now, am I a confident national championship? Would I put my life on the line? No, I wouldn't. The season is week two. I mean, playoff. Do you think right now, sitting here, you'll be in the playoffs? Yes. You think you can compete with Ohio State? Yeah. I mean, Ohio State, we haven't seen anything from them yet. And it's weak. The team has to improve. Your offense stinks. Yeah, they stink right now. Okay. So, not dead, though. Do you think that instantly just gets better out of nowhere? No, I don't think it instantly gets better. But it's week two. Like, we haven't even played a conference game. So, am I going to write off the national champs after a disastrous game versus a veteran-laden, like, very good national championship caliber Texas team? No. I mean, that quarterback, I bet him to win the Heisman in the first half watching him. Quinn Ewers, yeah. Yeah. So, obviously, it was a bad game. They got hammered. But it's the second week of the season. There's plenty of time to improve, and they're going to have to, clearly. Okay. So, Rico, the Junkyard Dog has been released. How's that going? Pretty good. I mean. Yeah. Go ahead. They just won't answer the phones. It's dial, dial, dial. They won't answer the phones. I've heard they've changed the number. It's brutal. They got riders in the chat. Everybody's everywhere. So, it's good to have an enemy. It's rare that when we are in a feud, 100%. What? It's good to have an enemy, yeah. Rico, it is a very funny thing for Rico to say because he. Yeah. Yeah. Only enemies. That's all he has is enemies. It is rare that we're 100%. I have no friends? No. Come on, Dan. Not one? You have a couple friends. You're right. All right. It's rare we're 100% on the right side of the law. Like, even people who don't like us are kind of like, yeah, we get their point here. Yeah. I did have to put that. By the way, I don't know. Professionally. Yeah, because. Professionally. Professionally. I got a text from somebody, and it was where this. This enemy wives lived in her place of business, and the question was, how far do we go? No. Now, take. Random number? Take a guess who that came from. New dog. That was the new dog. I had pictures of their house, their mailbox, phone numbers. Disavow. Their addresses, and that's when I'm like, I better just once again clarify I'm talking professionally, flood lines. If they do a live remote, fair game. Call lines. Don't go to their place where they live. Don't attack siblings. I know that's something you've. Learned from your mistakes. You've dabbled in, Rico. No. Keep it on the professional level, and I'm good. So, the new dog was ready to go. He was ready. How deep are we going to take this? I think tweets are fair. Like, Austin was like, how deep? How deep are we doing this? When he sent, like, the tweet he had, like, about fat women, fat black women. I'm like, that's fair game. That's me. That's all him. Yeah, he's getting killed on. Yeah, Katie Nolan is coming after him, everybody. I will say, he hasn't addressed it at all, right? No. They haven't said a word. It's crazy. Here's what's going to happen. And for people who missed it, it's Dan Bernstein, radio host here in Chicago. Been a radio host for, like, two decades. He had a very popular show, Bores and Bernstein. That was, for a long time, like, he was. He actually joked around. And, like, it was a good show. He. His brain has been broken. He's been a curmudgeon. He's hated Barstool for a long time. I've known he's hated us. I don't like him. Eddie went on 670 The Score to do a remote with Spiegel, who we do like. That's the other part of it, Dave. There are certain people, like, you can separate it. It's like kind of when BVT happened. And people are like, oh, you're going to still be friends with Scott Van Pelt? Yeah. I'm still friends with Scott Van Pelt. Like, there are certain people that you are friends with that are outside of this. Matt Spiegel, who hosts The Afternoon Show, is one of those guys. And I know his producer. And they had Eddie on. Like, that was. It was nice they had him on. But Eddie simply said Dan Bernstein's last name, Bernstein, asking him a question. And Bernstein flipped out and was like, you don't know me like that. Got all tough. But Bernstein's hated Barstool forever. And I've known that. He's taken pot shots at us forever. So, professionally, calling in, whatever. Don't blur the lines here. Don't do anything outside of professionally. But, yeah, he's a jerk. I think a good way to look at it, if he's on the clock and working, it's probably fair game. If he's off the clock and minding his own business as a house, not fair game. Yes, correct. But, anyway, this is. Yeah, it's interesting to see this all happen. And, you know, the Riders and Jerry's Army and the. I don't even. Have the Minifans joined in yet? I saw something from the Minifans. I think they're definitely aware. Because it is an Odyssey company. Yeah. Oh, I know. So, yeah. The first time I tuned in. That's Rico's former employee. I like. Yes, true. Employer, yeah. I logged on. I'm like, all right, let me get in the mix. I was trying to call as well, get the numbers. So, I listened to it. I knew this guy. The very first word, there's no joke, when I tuned in was white privilege. Which, generally, if that's what you're talking about, rightly or wrong, only you hate us. Right. And he's a hypocrite about it. Because he's got all these tweets in the past. And his show used to be completely different. And it's. He's just like, oh, I wasn't that guy. And Barstool's bad. And everything I've said in the past, oh, I've evolved. It's ridiculous. Beyond that, just the. When he's like, call me Burnsy. That's worse. Maybe the most confusing statement ever made. Like, he was. It's one thing to be like. And Eddie laughed because Eddie couldn't see him and didn't, I guess, know he was serious. But that little clip when he was that disgusted after. He's like, he called me Burnsy. Call me Burnsy. That's a thousand times more like, you know somebody. Yeah. Right. The whole thing's crazy. What it comes down to, though, Dave, is. And I told Eddie this. Because I knew when he told me what was going on, I was like, oh, that'll be interesting. Because I know the history there. Eddie could have said anything. And he would have had that reaction. Yeah. Yeah. Like, if Eddie. If I had called him Dan, he would have been like, you don't know me like that. Don't call me my first name. If Eddie had called him Burnsy, he would have been like, you don't know me like that. Call me Bernstein. It didn't matter what Eddie said. The guy was going to be a prick no matter what. And he looks like an idiot. Like, I don't think anyone's defending him. He looks like a fucking moron. How could you? The only defense. It's not even a defense. The only thing people say is, it's childish for me to be like, attack him professionally. That I like. This guy deserves it. And it will not rest. At some point. At some point, Bosco will get through. At some point, I will get through. Does he ever do live remotes? Something will. We will get something across the mess. They can't ignore us forever. How long can he keep the phone lines down? I've heard that there might be a live remote tomorrow, but he might. They might pull it. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I've heard. But he. Yeah, he. It's crazy. The whole thing is crazy. It's also unfortunate. Not unfortunate, but let me. What's the right word to use here? I guess it's unfortunate for Burnsy to have Dave in the state he is right now, where he's living his best life, and he doesn't have a lot of wars. So, when you open yourself up to a war, he's like. This isn't like war times five years ago, where it was like shooting everywhere, fighting off everyone. He's got reserves. He's got reserves. Truthfully. It's almost like a war out of order. He's been arrested. Truthfully. He's been arrested. I didn't want. I didn't want to do it. I was relaxed, and I'm like, God damn it. And I go put on. I go into the closet. There's dust all over my. like machine guns and grenades, like, all right, here we go. It's like, I don't want to do it. It was so unbelievable. I don't even know how this clip didn't come out right away. Like, when I saw it, I'm like, what is this? And Eddie, of all people, I mean, the Pillsbury Doughboys, the nicest guy, you poke him in the belly, and he, he, he, he. Like, there's no reason to ever give attitude to Eddie. It's crazy. Yeah, no, he, so Eddie had sent me the clip, I think it was on Sunday. I watched it like 10 times because I couldn't understand it because it was that ridiculous. And I said to him, I was like, what do you, what's your plan with this? Because, like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to post a clip on Eddie's behalf if he doesn't want to fight. But then Chuck put it out, and it was like, all right, let's go. Yeah, and then the second clip came out where he's like, he called me Bernstein, whatever. It's just insane. It's such old school, like, talk radio, thumb your nose up, disgusted that Eddie is on this channel odyssey. I could walk into odyssey headquarters and buy that company in a second. That's not an exaggeration. Now, they're like, they're like a penny stock. Like, they've been closed to bankruptcy. Like, I could literally go in. So it's, it's, everything has changed. Like, Barstool's very successful. They're a disaster. And it's like, that he still has this arrogance. How dare you? They should be thanking Eddie, like, thanking him with every breath in their bone for coming on their airways. That's exactly it, Dave. I went on, so I've been doing a hit with Waddle and Sylvie, who are the competing radio station in Chicago for, like, the last seven, eight years. Those guys are the best. They've been loyal to us throughout everything. But I said it to them, and it's exactly right, Dave. He is, he's in a mindset of, like, a 2013, where we're a little blog site, and they're a radio station, and radio is still killing it. And he thinks that Eddie is not, like, he's not worthy of the opportunity to be on their airways. Buddy, like, look at what we've done in the last 10 years. We're way bigger than you. I, like, I don't like to do that flex, but it's the facts. And he's playing in a decades-old mindset where it's like, Eddie, oh, this blog guy, like, he doesn't deserve to be on our airwaves. Yeah, if Eddie was on your airwaves, he would get way better ratings than you. That's just a fact. 100%. So, crazy. I'm curious to see his next move. Like, the next move in that situation was, and he's not going to do it, is an instant. I mean, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I was an asshole. Sorry. That would probably, like, that would cut the legs out. But they haven't said a word. No. Is there anything he can do to pull you back, Dave? Nah, the time is ticking. I mean, a sincere, heartfelt apology, maybe? You know his move, Dave. You know his move. He's going to wait. He's not going to say anything. And then he's going to come out and be like, I've been harassed. Harassed. And then there's going to be some websites going to pick it up and be like, the Stoolies did it again. And he's going to play the victim card and rinse and repeat. That's just how it always goes. They were already trying to do that on Awful Announcing. The websites that run with those stories aren't really around anymore. Yeah, but that's exactly what's going to happen. Awful Announcing was already trying to run it today or yesterday. Who? Yeah. Awful Announcing is a website. They had a headline. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how this whole thing is going to play out. Whatever. He's a dick. Like I said, he's taking pot shots. Eddie and I have known he's taking pot shots at us. He's done enough where it's like he takes pot shots, but it's never so direct that we want to respond. But this one was direct. It was in Eddie's face. How does a guy do sports? Talk radio and not take calls. Isn't that what they do? Yeah, I mean, they used to. I don't know if there's a new thing. I had a couple of interviews yesterday. I was listening. Yeah. Okay, so that's what's going on right now. The riders have been activated. Feels good. That's why we do all these burpees, right? Yep. It's good to be back. Hey, Pick'Em listeners, we're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. Stell Blue Coffee's new can lattes are here.

As for the records, Rico, not a great week. Leveled out. Three and seven. Did you have a graphic made for your three and seven week where you were like shooting off the battleship? I didn't ask either way to make the graphic, but there was a graphic. There was a graphic and I retweeted it, yeah. For people who are wondering, when Rico went eight and three the other week, he had a graphic made that it's like, you know, the riders in a battleship, eight and three, best start to pick them ever. A squadron patch. Yeah, and then we don't get the same when you go three and seven. There was a graphic. I retweeted it, so I think it's a parachute, a guy falling to his death. Three and seven, respectively. Dave, you went six and nine. You're in last right now at 42%. I went 17 and 15. Light card for me. I got to talk about that. What was it, Arkansas? That's disgusting that that counted as a loss. Crazy. I was off by a field goal. That game was never in doubt. I bet it I won real money. I don't get credit on this show. Fine. But that line that we got was seven and a half. It was 10. Yeah. I don't know. If there's integrity in this game, that should be a win, but whatever. The, yeah, I mean, that was an all time. That one was, that one sucked. We all. We all lost our mortals as well. I won. I won. I like, I, I won that game in real life. The mortals also sucks because my mortals, Ellen, whatever. I'm, I got bullied out of my top two mortals. So go ahead. I thought your mortal was Northwestern. If you could. Illinois, Illinois. Oh, uh, I, my mortal was like never. No one's ever handicapped a game better. And then, and, and, and put themselves in a trap worse than what I did with Utah. When I said on this show, I'm taking Utah minus 14. And I'm going to bet Utah until Cam rising gets hurt. They were up 23, nothing. And Cam rising got hurt. Oh, I didn't know that happened. Yeah. And then they, they won by 10. Like it was, it was so Zach Wilson's brother is the backup. Couldn't hit anyone. Utah was, it was never, I watched the whole game. Utah was never in doubt to win the game, but it was just like, Oh, here we go. Like all second half, they didn't score a point. The second half Baylor would just like, you know, get a little bit closer, a little bit closer than they scored a couple of touchdowns. And that was it. So shout. The handicap was right. Shout out the Missouri coach. He is playing to cover. I put a pretty big bet on them. I think it was minus 32 and a half. They were up 31, got the ball back with about two and a half minutes on their side of the 50 through a pass inside the 10 yard line. They ran out of bounds twice, twice, twice. And then they like got a first down with 36. Seconds hustled to the line of scrimmage and scored like with no time left. Just an absolutely preposterous cover by Missouri. Thank you, Missouri. Yeah, it was incredible. Rico, what, what, what happened this week? What was the, you had a lot of, I took a lot. I took a lot of overs. I guess I just handicapped it wrong. Not a lot of offense. I thought Colorado, Nebraska was going to go over Colorado. Couldn't do a thing. Can we stop trashing Dion? Please. Every time I looked, there's an article trashing Dion and his kids that were like fucking friends with the guy. But it's not going well, Dave. You can also say without a lot of baggage out there without trashing him because I like Dion and I ride with Dion. You have to also admit it's not going well when she doors sits in front, you know, does the, his, his, uh, post game. And he's like, yeah, freshman mistake by this guy. Offensive line. Couldn't. How many times did he get sacked? How many times did I, you got to, I mean, that's a fire under their ass. I don't want to play his rap song. Not the fucking fight song. That white. Might not be true though. Yeah. That one, that one is where it's like, that one might not be true. Rico. All right. I'm just reading the headlines. Yeah, exactly. And that, and that's how you ran Fran for Shilla out of town. That's true. It's true. Now we're friends. Maybe do some research. Do a little research. Uh, yeah. But Dave, you, it's not going well. No. Yeah. A lot of baggage out there. I'm just saying, do we have to like, when everyone's piling on the guy, we have a relationship with him. I know. I would look at it. He's going to be like, why is parcel? I thought we were friends. Fuck. And please, please enough. Yeah. I'm, I'm not going to trash him. I'm going to admit when it's not going well. And that I thought the, the post game from Shador was, that wasn't great. If you're a teammate of his, that's not great. Yeah. Well, I mean, block better. Yeah. Um, okay. Uh, should we talk about this week? Weird card. Not a lot of ranked matchups. But I think the two best. Friday night. What? I think the two best games of Friday night. Well, there's, there, there's like the, the, the rivalry games that are all mashed. I like, I, I was like, what are we talking about? Oregon, Oregon state, Washington, the apple cup and like the civil war and backyard brawl. That's what I'm saying. It's, it's, it's a crazy week because there's not like a bunch of marquee games, but there's also just some awesome old rivalry. So I actually have, uh, six, I have six games that we were going to talk about. Rico, you think the best game is Friday night? night two best two and two two compelling games are friday night with uh arizona kansas state and unlv kansas is that you love you love good games to

seeing they're in a war with uh tulane i think there's gonna be a lot of points in this one i like arizona's quarterback i'm gonna take the over i like the over in this one so you're going back to overs yeah not all of them but this one for sure okay dave i think it's a trap game it screams arizona to me screams arizona as i'm talking i have arizona written down i gotta stick with arizona over absolute square rico picks here even though he's got better record than me but this screams kansas state under it to me yeah whatever i'm being a square arizona in the over i'm gonna take arizona plus seven and a half it's a square play yeah probably probably but i avery johnson hasn't looked great throwing the ball though yeah that's what that's why it's a square play right and tulane should have won that it could have won that game they got kind of screwed at the end uh all right i'm on arizona saturday alabama wisconsin wisconsin's plus 16 over under is 50 and a half i think it's the largest home dogs we've been uh since barry took over in 92 or 93 i am going to this game i am dreading this game i have talked myself into a path for wisconsin to win this game and i know that that is really stupid of me but i'm going to take wisconsin plus 16 here's my path uh one i wish they would move the game tonight that's part of the part of the path it should be a night game it's 11 a.m uh wisconsin does have a very good secondary and linebackers our defensive line does not look good our offense does not look good jaylen milrow against a good secondary could struggle he's not accurate and we're going to probably need a defensive probably a defensive touchdown and a special teams touchdown and then we're going to win that's my path it's a hell of a path uh bama by 40 yeah i think bama by 40 wisconsin's horrible uh i actually you're horrible i actually know michigan's better than wisconsin i actually i don't know i i actually listen they're my enemy i don't like them i i my biggest bet of the week was on ohio state because i knew how bad i knew how good wisconsin made western look oh my god this wisconsin team's brutal and and everyone's like oh they kind of played western michigan tight i'm like give me a break so they're gonna lose by 40 this game minimum they're gonna get absolutely and i don't know in your path to winning i don't know that i liked you being like well jaylen milrow can't throw really versus a good secondary but we don't have a good line they may just ram the ball down your throat they don't have long they don't have elite like alabama's running backs like heisman running backs but yeah no listen the path is narrow i mean part of the part of the path was moving the kickoff tonight 40 so i'm gonna i'm gonna walk into camp randall on saturday and i'm already gonna be oh for one on my path yeah because i'm gonna walk in at like 10 55 40 uh by 40 rico you got bama i do i think it's a blowout you didn't see bama's best effort last week maybe they were playing with their food a little bit then they turned it into a game in the fourth quarter you saw what they could do i'm down on this wisconsin team i picked the western a couple weeks ago i just sorry dan i'm usually high on wisconsin i think it's a blowout i don't care you can do whatever you want all right okay stop yeah but i used to get in your hole with wisconsin all the time yeah but it was like yeah no i like those teams yeah okay uh boston college at mizzou ranked matchup what do we got boston college is 16 and a half point dogs over unders 54 game wisconsin hasn't i mean mizzou like hasn't given up a point um or if they have very few they haven't played anybody bc i'll take the points but i don't i certainly don't like the game i certainly are they doing the red bandana no it's at mizzou that's right they do that at home games i i don't like the game i'm taking bc but i'm not going to take the game i'm taking bc i'm not touching this game in real life i i agree with you dave i'm because we we pick these games i'm taking uh bc just because i think bill brian will have a good good enough game plan to cover 16 and a half point spread but i don't like it and i bet missouri in that big spread last week they weren't scoring with ease that's what made the second that last touchdown even more amazing like they hadn't scored in the fourth quarter they really weren't scoring with ease so 16 points is a lot bc puts a couple touchdowns of missouri hasn't scored a ton either week they've just played great defense but that's a lot 16 is a lot if you're going to give up a touchdown or two yeah uh okay uh rico i'll take missouri the 10 and 2 in the last 12 against the spread i like that the coach tries to cover i think this is a game they finally get up for he's right he hasn't played anybody now you're looking at a little number next to bc i think they can squish him i think it's 17 i'll like okay uh next up we got the civil war which i don't think we're allowed to call civil war anymore oregon at oregon state oregon state 60 and a half point dogs overrunners 50 your ducks have looked bad bad yeah i'll take oregon state here i'll take oregon state plus the 16 yeah what the fuck is this line right yeah because oregon's look bad they've needed two special teams touchdowns to beat boys no i know so how is this 16 points i think they're just going off the rating of oregon before the season they're still they're still doing it now the only thing you could say on oregon's defense is boise might be better than we thought they could be the group of five uh playoff team the ashton gentry is unreal the they're running back and idaho went in and beat wyoming for the first time in 100 years so idaho might be a little bit better than we thought but still oregon's look bad oregon state must be horrible rico they put it on they put it on san diego state last week running the ball i don't know it seems like a square but i'll take the 16 even if oregon was playing well and up to expectations this line seems crazy to me unless you're saying you have an absolutely inept oregon state team like oregon state this is at oregon state right yeah at oregon state yeah 16 points at home no all right i fell the trap last time i'm not this makes no sense none zero i'm taking oregon it makes no sense yeah it's you're right it makes no sense none it's it this is what i would expect the line to be if oregon had won the first two games by 40 right yeah is oregon state 2-0 yeah makes no sense it's crazy weird line well i mean so rico you're taking oregon i'm still taking oregon state you're taking oregon state yeah yeah the oregon state beat idaho state 38 15 and san diego state 21 nothing crazy crazy crazy okay uh apple cup who'd you take west i took uh the over 50 but i agree with you dave i just can't i've lost i lost last week with oregon minus 19 and i'm just not gonna do it again i just i i can't i can't i saw it with my eyeballs i can't do it but you're you're what you're if i had to gun my head i would take oregon because it makes no sense none um but that i did my it makes no sense game last week with oregon when i took them minus 19 against boise i thought that line was crazy and then it turned out to be correct so that's why i can't yeah and i'm doing something stupid because i'm i'm like the arizona arizona kansas state makes no sense and i still fell into the trap so now now i'm sometimes taking the traps and sometimes not that's not good i feel like you go all one way the other whatever foot in one foot out yeah yeah uh okay apple cup washington state at washington washington minus five over under 56 i'll start i'm taking washington and I think they've looked a little bit better than, again, it's like the preseason rankings, what you expect.

I think I'd rather my quarterback than your quarterback. Congrats to 1-0. Congrats to 1-0. Congrats. Congrats. Congrats to 1-0. 1-0 crew. Rico, are you in the 1-0? You got to tell them you can't run backwards. This is the NFL. Like, you just run straight backwards. You run straight backwards. You're not playing UCLA anymore. You're not playing camp anymore. These are paid guys. Did you watch the game when the defensive tackle decides to just blow up the center who had a terrible, terrible game? It's pretty tough. You don't have any – that was a zero-second chance for him. So, now the offensive line can get blamed, but when Shador does it – Well, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. I have – no, no. I have done, like, five shows in the last three days and said, Caleb Williams played bad. There's no sugarcoating it. He played bad. You're talking about a specific play where the center got completely blown up. Yeah, but you can't – Caleb Williams played bad. Okay. I'm not blaming the offensive line. Caleb Williams played bad. You're talking about a specific play, and I'm telling you what happened. I just want it on the record again. I hope I'm wrong that he's a bust. No, you don't. You want him to be a bust so bad. No, I don't. So bad. I don't. That's all you want. You want it so bad. No, I don't. You go to sleep at night, and you say a little prayer that Caleb Williams be a bust. I checked Justin Fields' stats first. Your guy. I did do that, but I do not want him to be a bust. Yeah, he didn't – I don't want Caleb to be a bust. Caleb Williams and Justin Fields had 20 offensive drives combined, and they scored zero touchdowns. Fun times. Who are you taking in the Washington-Washington State game? It's a college show. Same issue I have with this game. I'm going to take – I hate the game. I mean, I haven't seen a play of Washington State. Get a good quarterback, good little running quarterback. I'll take Washington State at home. Rico? I would take the over. I think Washington State – Washington State can score. I liked what I saw. I'm going to take the over in that game. Yeah? Yeah. I'll take the over. Even though Washington State – Wasn't that your mortal last week? That was. I know, I know, I know. Can I get a little credit for being a rider? Yes, you jumped in. I added that to my card. 37 points in the first half. We were on pace. Slowed down. Wait, how many points in the first half? Pretty sure it was 37 in the first half. Are you sure? I went to sleep because I was like, this sucks, and I shouldn't have done this. Yeah, it was 20. It was 27-10. And they just didn't score again. What was the final? They had 37-16. It was bad. It was tough. And I jumped in the hole. Yes. I added it to my card at like – It's the worst. 8.30 p.m. I was like, you know what? I'm going to jump in this hole of Rico's, and I'm going to watch this game. And yeah, and then I lost sleep over it. Sucks. Sucks. Okay, so you have Washington State in this? Yes. Or do you have the over? You're going back to the over. Back to the over. Okay. Last game in the rivalry games, backyard brawl. Pitt and West Virginia. Pitt had an insane comeback win against Cincinnati. So, Pitt is plus two at home over under 60-and-a-half. I'll take Pitt at home. I'm going to take Pitt in the over. So, I'm going to take Pitt plus two and over 60-and-a-half. I'll take West Virginia. Total coin flip. Won't be betting the game. Won't be betting the game in real life. Total is 63 now. 63? I just looked it up a second ago. Damn. All right, 63. I looked these up before we started. Something happened. They're moving. It's moving. All right, I'll take 63. Over 63. Is it Pitt still plus two? Yes. Okay. What do you got on this, Dave? I'm taking West Virginia, but I hate the game. Okay. Let's get to our cards, then. Let's get to our cards. If you hate the game, let's see the ones you love. Dave, you start with your card. So, are we allowed to do mortals on Friday? Jack? Yes, you are. Yes. Okay. I'm debating that. UNLV plus seven against Kansas. I like this UNLV team. Kansas lost. They'll be at home, but this, to me, is a pick-em game. Trap, I fell into it. Arizona plus seven-and-a-half over in that game. Alabama minus 16 against Wisconsin. They crush them. I think South Carolina. LSU, I think, is not good. So, I like South Carolina at home plus seven. I think they can win that game. Purdue plus 10 at home against Notre Dame. I think Purdue can win that game. Florida at home plus four against A&M. I think Florida can win that game. I like that. That's four-and-a-half, Dave. Four-and-a-half now. That Oregon I took, which is a trap. I like Tulane plus 13-and-a-half against Oklahoma on the road. I think that's going to be a close game. Oklahoma looked like trash last night. And these teams are looking like trash where I don't think they can just, like, boop, turn it on. I think there's something wrong with these teams. Kind of like Michigan. That was mean. Well, no, that wasn't mean. I just said – I did the same thing he did with me, with the Shador and the Caleb Williams. Yeah, Michigan. Michigan is not going to turn it on and be better next week. They may be better by week nine, but, yes, they're not going to be good. They're going to be a slow grind to get better. Got to coach them. Got to coach them up. Got to do all this stuff. Finally got a coach under contract. Congratulations. Thank you. UTSA at Texas. Texas minus 35. Texas is the real deal. They're going to crush this team. They're very good. Colorado, Colorado State. I like Colorado State plus seven at home over 58-and-a-half. I think Colorado State can win this game. It'll be a close game. LAO says their entire starting lineup turned down huge NIL deals. And then Indiana on the road beats UCLA. They're minus three. Which that line should rewind the clock and expect Indiana to be a three-point favorite on the road at UCLA. You're like, no chance. They are. UCLA is horrible. Indiana, that's my card. Rico. UNLV Kansas over 57. Buffalo minus four-and-a-half. A&M minus four-and-a-half. Colorado State plus seven or seven-and-a-half. What is it, Jack? Take Colorado State plus the points. Colorado State plus the points. You're grabbing it. It halves everywhere right now. Slow down, Rico. UNLV Kansas is 58. 58. Okay. I had the same thing you wrote down. You were up by three. I'm off by one. Colorado State plus the seven or seven-and-a-half, whatever it is. And Air Force plus 15-and-a-half against Baylor. I think they, Baylor's, I don't love what I see out of Baylor. And I think the option can fuck with you. It'll stay within the game. Air Force. Okay. I have the. Bet's already, we said, for the main card. I'm with Dave on Indiana. Minus three. UNLV Kansas over 58. I have Mississippi Wake over 64-and-a-half. I'm also going to be on Purdue plus 10. I had NIU last week. I wish I had the money line. I had them plus 28-and-a-half or 29. Notre Dame does not have an offense that can win by a lot. Like, they just don't. If NIU. If that field. If that field went in, that would have been the greatest rob job in the history of college football. Ever. That spot was a yard off. A yard. I don't care if you're the refs. You have to change it. I don't care if you. It's so obvious that he got the first down. It was so obvious. Unbelievable. So, so obvious. I also have. Oh, Appalachian State. What is it? Is that over now? App State. Missed Clemson last week. Over 60-and-a-half. That was bad. That was a list game. That was bad, what I did with that Clemson game. That was a really bad ad. I took the under, and it was over in the first quarter. Over 52-and-a-half, and it was over in the first quarter. That's what I was saying. Like, when people were coming after me for my Panthers pick, I had a worse pick in that weekend. Yeah. Maryland-Virginia, over 57-and-a-half. Another thing that's an issue, I sort of bit my tongue, and now, you know when you sort of bite your tongue, it's just a matter of time until you get it again, and then you're fucked for a week? Yes. I'm in that phase, and I have Pizza Fest coming up, so it's like a disaster. Oh. Oh, Rico. Yeah, he's going. He's going. Yeah, I'm excited to see him. Both sessions? Yeah. No, you'll be at both sessions, right? I was going to the night session. Oh. not the day session but i got tickets for the night session well no you have tickets for both yeah you have tickets for both so you'll be at both i'll overlap the day yeah i'll see what i can do when's the day session when's the night session dave is it like three and six i'm not exactly sure yeah i was going to look at them but rico will be at both yeah i'm looking forward to seeing them yeah at both yes love that rico uh okay mortals uh the records zoopy and jack are both two and oh oh and ebo all all three of them are two and oh uh bubba is oh and two everyone else is one and one uh i'm going alabama wisconsin under i like that half i like that pick i like that pick uh zoopy i'm going tulip lane plus 13 and a half okay who are they playing oklahoma oklahoma okay jack uh missouri i think they're gonna kill bc oh okay ebo uh georgia state vandy over 46 and a half deep in the book deep in the book my card uh i'm gonna take um ucf minus two and a half at tcu uh that will be my mortal so that will be in the parlay since we all lost i think we just run it back and then or should we make it no we'll run it back because one of us always has to be in it and then if if one loses we'll start swapping people in uh rico yeah i'm gonna take uh bam and minus the 16 oh you jerk i'm going to the game i know man but i just think it's uh i think it's a bloodbath so yeah i can't i can't wait for us to win this game i'm all right i'm gonna be if you do if you're gonna cover i hope you win out right then dave i don't want them to just not cover colorado state plus seven at home against colorado rivalry game there's bad blood it was close last year colorado may win but this is gonna go down to the wire it should be a pick them okay uh anything else good good pick them football show oregon state 16 and a half you have oregon state 16 and a half uh okay anything anything else good good football show keep it clean excited excited i like the week this week i i may try to get uh drafting jack want to put this in for me at dave port my underdog outright special um wisconsin nope colorado state unlv south carolina three dogs all outright just sprinkle it on can you do that just sprinkle it for me yes love it thank you all right good show boys see everyone next week see you all right
