All right, now back to the episode. Carstool Pick'em week seven, boys. Records real quick, I had a terrible week. I can't get out of my own way. Bosco with a great week. The Riders, you know there's a, you know, you know Rico had a good week, Dave, when you get the Riders starting to tweet, tweet at you on a football Sunday. Like, it's like literally witching hour and I got some tweets being like, Bosco has, Bosco has a six and three week and no mention of it. Like when he has a bad week, he gets, he gets mentioned right away. It's like, that's like. The graphic, the graphic timing is a little obscure or a little like. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's a little weird. Whoa. It's a little weird. Hold on. The graphic. Because on bad weeks, it's definitely up on a Sunday. But hold on, the graphic war started when you did, you had one good week, like week two and you had you on a boat and like the fucking missiles. That's why we started the graph. You started it right. I didn't do that graphic though. The guy they got riders who make the graphics. I can't control where they are. So the riders are everywhere. All right. Either way, good week by Bosco. He's at, he's back up to 50% tied with Dave. I'm at 47.7%. I cannot win a mortal. I'm one in five. It's joke. Rico and David three and three Ebo still five and one. He did lose his, his first mortal. Um, but yeah, that was, uh, the riders were, were restless and I'm a rider. Yes. Thank you. How are we doing boys? Last week was crazy. Crazy. Absolutely. Crazy. I placed a bet that I never have placed before. And I picked a bad, I did like your can't lose parlay style bet. I've never done that. I'm like, I'm just going to put together this and it can't lose. I didn't lose. I lost. I Bama and Tennessee two huge favorites. I had in there. It was Bama, Bama, Bama. Your point. Yeah. Bama didn't just get like, or Bama didn't just lose 17, 10 and a guy went out. Bama got beat. Yeah. There was nothing fluky to it. Like they just couldn't stop 40 on them. Vanderbilt put 40 on them. I live bet that game too. It's like the worst. Ah, the only live bet I'm rooting for Bama in that game. Like yeah, you're, you're basically the guy who's, who's rooting for the, the two seat over 15 terrible at the bar in March madness. The, um, the only live bet I made in that game was Bama touchdown on their second, on their third quarter, like opening drive, which was easy. But I like you, what did, what did Vanderbilt let him go in like 12 of 16 on third down or something? Like it was just stop them. They absolutely could not stop them. And they were easy. They were like running the ball down and throw is easy. This quarterback came from nowhere. Like that's the portal. Like how, how's this kid get to Vanderbilt? He's he's he remember last year he beat Auburn at Auburn. He owns the state of Alabama. He's the crazy. He's, he's basically a, a Johnny Manziel light where like he was that kind of legend at New Mexico state. He remember, I don't know if you remember the story, but he got in trouble because he got caught on video pissing on New Mexico's logo in their practice field. I didn't know that, but that's what I'm saying. Like how a kid like that, like Michigan, we got no quarterback. Like we're a national, championship. It's not even a shot. You go, they couldn't have been that expensive. I also, I loved we're Barstool. Our Nashville bar got a whole ton of publicity. That little clip. He's like, we're going to Barstool tonight and they're partying there. So, uh, and then yet I'm rooting against them like an asshole because I took, I took the chalk. I thought I was like, and then Alabama scored a second after I placed the bet. I'm like, they, I, in my head, like Dave, you're so smart. Like it went from minus one, 10 to like minus 300 after the Alabama touchdown. I'm like, oh, a brilliant bet, but they couldn't stop them. They just could not stop them. Yeah. It was the first half. Everyone was like, oh, this is cute. Like Bama will wake up and just throttle them. But if you're watching the game, you're seeing that it's not just like, oh, a fluke play here, fluke play there. Like Vandy's. I was not watching. I was betting Keeneland. I was just paying attention to score. Vandy's offensive line was like kind of whole. They were holding their own and kind of handling them. Kind of Molly. Yeah. So I, that was, I, that was one of those games that I just, cause I've been having a tough, tough football season where I took Vandy just from the spot. And I was just like, God damn it. One time, just have the balls to take the money line. Like that would have been incredible. And I didn't see like more than a play. I don't think Tennessee, because I think Tennessee was on the same time Michigan was on. So I was just solely focused on Michigan. What happened to Tennessee? Tennessee has, uh, what? Is just absolute torture for a fan base. They spent the last, whatever it was, three, four years rebuilding incredible offense, no defense. They now have a defense, a legit defense, and they have a freshman quarterback who's talented, but even the, even the last, like they had, like, I don't know, they let them score with, with whatever a minute left to get the ball back. So how far out were they when they let that happen? Uh, Arkansas was on like maybe the 10 and they let them score a touchdown. Yeah, because it was basically like, was it the 10? It might've been inside the 10. It was kind of a weird play because it was like, let them score. It was like one guy. It was like the Bosco move. Yeah. It was like one guy was kind of letting him, not letting him score. And then the second guy, I don't know if they officially said, did anyone else watch it? Do you guys think they let him score? Find the clip and text it to the group. I, I think they were letting him score. Wait a minute. But I might be wrong. If you missed it, Bosco, how, then why did you chirp in on how the Tennessee quarterback can make mistakes? That's all I said. He can make mistakes. Okay. Well, what I was going to say, Dave, is you saw it all in watching the game. So Tennessee, I think they let him score. You guys watch the clip, find the last Oklahoma or Arkansas touchdown to let them score a touchdown when they need a touchdown. Sorry. They're on the three. That's insane. Uh, yeah, they're on the three because that's insane. Oh no, no. They were on the 11. I was right. They were on the 11. That, that's insane. Find the clip. What do you mean? You guys judge school. I feel like they let him score. You can't, you can't let him score there. They need it. It wasn't like they need a field goal. They need a touchdown. Watch the clip, watch the clip and tell me if you think that was a letting him score. Was it texted to me? Yeah. Just text it. Yeah. Cause the second guy, I think the first guy might've not been letting him score. Second guy clearly was letting him score. Second guy lets him score. Yeah. Yeah. Steps to the side. Yeah. I think the first guy was diving in his feet. All right. There's something to be said for the second guy, but none of the guys on the whole team were moving. Yeah. Like at the line of scrimmage, it felt like they let him score because they had, you know, whatever it was, uh, a minute 17 left. I, I actually can't tell now. Like are the, all the, the second guy clearly let him score. Like you could make that tackle at the goal line. I know they could have gotten the first down technically, but that, that second guy could have clearly made a tackle and he, yeah, that one's a little different. I guess you get first and goal at that one. No, but they look at the linemen. The linemen are kind of letting him score. Like the linemen are running. That I can't tell. Look at the. I know, but is he just out of the play? Because it looks like. They're all standing up. Look at the guy in the corner on number six. He's definitely playing defense. Number. Wait, where? The guy who dives. Yeah. That guy was the only one. He. But even he wasn't really like. He didn't really. I don't know. Because like block. This interior lineman gets double teamed and he's putting up a fight. He's just getting mauled by two guys. I can't tell. It would make no sense to let them score from the 10. I've given up 14 points in the game. Those no sense. Those other two guys, though, when he's on like the four yard line, just completely stood up. Yeah, that one is that one. I get a little bit more. I don't know how you think that fast, but like if you tackle him, it's first and goal at best. But that's why maybe I thought they let him score because it only two timeouts. It felt like they had that conversation because otherwise those guys wouldn't have been standing up like that. Yeah, either way. I think once he got to the first down marker, maybe they let him score at that point. I don't know. Either way, it felt like they let him score. I don't know if they talked about it after. Someone can look that up. But the what I was getting to the point was Nico, their freshman quarterback. He had it was like all in one on that last drive. He had an incredible throw where he makes an athletic move, rolls out of the pocket, throws a dart like 30 yards down the field, gets them into position. Then the very next throw, he had, I think, a tight end on the left side, fucking airmailed it like wide open, airmailed it. And then he did a Joe Milton to end the game where it's fourth and five with seven seconds left. And he ran out of bounds. So also is a Mr. Biscay. Yeah, that did happen on the. He threw it. He threw it. He threw it 500 rows into the crowd. Yeah. But the my point was, well, you say, Jack, you found it. Hypo said that they let him score. Yeah. So they let him score. So there it is. Guys. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Especially dumbest. Especially when your defense was playing well. And that was Arkansas's backup quarterback who is doing OK. But I thought you let him score. That was Tennessee. Tennessee has a legit, legit defense. But that was Nico's, you know, freshman on display where it's like he's clearly got the skills, but it's just not. He hasn't been in the wars to to really fully like have those moments where hopefully he gets better. He's got some big games coming up. But it was chaos everywhere. And then we have Miami almost lose. Yes. Yep. It's that every week Miami almost loses that there's no way they're staying unbeaten. Right. That people were upset about they thought it was targeting. I like the no targeting there. I do, too. I do, too. Like, let them like I know letter of the law. Maybe people say most obvious targeting ever. But like, do you want a game decided on targeting? I don't. That one comes down to this for me, Dave. It's like you can have two thoughts in your head at the same time. One, I want to let them. I want to see them play the game out to targeting is like used so often that you then not using it. There is like, what the fuck is going on? Like the targeting rule is broken. Yeah. So, like, I understand Cal fans being like it's used so often. Why would it not be used there? Yeah. But I do like playoff hockey, playoff basketball, whatever. You swallow the whistles. A little bit at the end. I have no problem with that. Like, do you call it in the first quarter? Fine. Do you call it literally? It ends the game. I like the no call. Yeah. Miami. Are you just going to write this whole Bosco? I feel like you're on it. Right. That's all. You're not. I'm agreeing with you. The thing I didn't like was if they called targeting, they left that kid in. They left that kid in. Huh? If they call targeting and that kid makes, I've tweeted it. It makes a mistake. The kid makes a mistake. They leave the kid in to make the kid makes a penalty. And they leave him on the field. You got it. There's got to be consequences. If you screw your team with the penalty, but it wasn't a penalty. I know. I jumped the gun. I thought it for sure was targeting. But if you're targeting, you're out of the game. Yeah. I would have sat him for a play regardless. No, no, no, no, no. If it's targeting, he made a kick out of the game. Yeah, you're right. So what do you want it? You wanted a self-imposed penalty, self-imposed penalty. You want to know there was no penalty. You want it. One play. Let him get his head back together. Why? Dan, I speak. I speak fluent Bosco. I knew he was out of it. This. Like when I'm like, he's just sitting there going through the motions going. Right. And I say it. And then he says something that I don't really even know what he said. If it's targeting, he's kicked out of the game. You're right. So if it's not targeting, why would you kick your own player out of the game? Because he made a stupid play for one play. Take him out. But it wasn't targeting. It was damn close. You don't need to make that play. So you're saying if you're, if you're, if, if a player, if you hit someone hard, sit him for a play, by the way, by the way, just so you know, like they had to punt. I just can't. If a player makes a tough tack, like a hard tackle, a big collision hit. Sit him because he's playing football too hard. And I do believe they punted like that was if, if they called it, it was a first down games over and said they had to punt. So I don't even, here's the bottom line was even, even on the field, the rest of the game for last play of the game. Maybe for Cal, for Cal fans, terrible loss. It's not that. What are we, what are we teaching point lead at home? And cam ward was special. What are we teaching kids that number two, who just got a potential game losing penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct is still on the field and not benched. But, but, but, but just to, just to clarify, didn't, didn't Cal just punt. What, what was, what are you talking about? I think they punted. So what are you talking about for a play, but they weren't, he wasn't on the field. It was for, they had to punt. And then Miami, I think scored with 20 seconds left in the game. Was that play not on second down? No, because I, the third, the targeting would have given a first down in the game. I don't know what you're saying right now. I don't think the kid needed to make that play towards target. Like he had the play. He didn't have to lower his head. He didn't fucking Ram him in. You can still make the play. I would have taken him out for a play again. Yeah. It was third and 12. All right. They punted. They punted. So yeah, probably did take. So they did take him out for a play. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was on special teams. No, he was on the side. He was on the sideline celebrating because they got the ball back and they went down and scored and Bosco wants him benched. Even though he, maybe he was on a, in a prevent Hail Mary defense for a play, make him sit that. Yeah. I, I don't, yeah, I don't, I don't know. Uh, I didn't think he had a lower his head to make that play. Thought that was a stupid move. Like all bets. Don't, if it's close enough to don't put the ref in that situation. Granted, they didn't call. Don't put the ref in that situation. I would have pulled the kid and been like, what are you doing? You don't need to do. Okay. Okay. It's like a late play, but you want to bench him in the game. It was like, he wasn't even on the field. The rest of the game. Like, this is one of those things. I'm not a hundred percent sure. Were you watching it? Yes. I watched it in real. Time. You did. Yes. That's why I tweeted about it. It's fucking tweeted. No, I could, I could see you seeing it. Not it tweets as though somebody like just saw the play. No, I watched it. I don't know. I don't know. I'm a writer and I'm trying to see, I don't know how you're watching that and don't know that that would have been a first down in the end of the game. I I'm lost Bosco. Well, no, they had the tackle before the line. And that the penalty would have made it a first down. Correct. Yes. But then it's on the kid. He shouldn't have put the ref in that situation, but the ref didn't direct and call it right. But don't put the ref in that situation. He almost called it. You don't need to make that play wrap up. They don't teach wrapping up. Can you reread what you wrote? Yeah. They don't teach wrapping up anymore. Can you everybody lowers their fucking head? Just reread what you wrote. What are we teaching kids? Number kids that number two, who just got a potential game losing penalty for unsportsmanlike college. They're still on the, it's still on the field and not benched. There's no way you're watching the game. If that's what you wrote. All right. He wasn't on the field. You saw a clip. You saw Bosco. He was not on the field. He was celebrating the sideline. They punted. So what do you mean? He's still in the game. What are you? That's just didn't happen. Yeah. I don't even know what's going on. I also tweeted. Why doesn't anyone right before that? Why doesn't anyone know what's going on? Why doesn't anyone just wrap up anymore? This is 100% targeting. Shocking. No call. Those are my tweets. Yeah. It sounds like you saw me caught a break. Sounds like you saw a clip. Maybe thought it was second quarter of the game. Okay. Uh, Dave, Michigan obviously lost a tough game. I actually thought I was so mad because I needed to win so bad. I had Washington in that game and it was almost, it was borderline illegal that you decided that you were going to throw forward passes. Like that was. That was not what the game I bet on. And then all of a sudden he's thrown out of nowhere. Uh, he's like a hundred years old. It, it, it, it kickstarted their offense. I'm not shocked that they lost the game. I think I was pretty clear about that. We still have quarterback issues. Um, I haven't even looked at soon. Tuttle's the guy moving forward. You can throw it a little bit, but the guy hasn't played in a hundred years. So he, listen, I think they're much better with him in there. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it was. it was night and day like it was you guys were gonna lose just not moving the ball at all and then all of a sudden it's crazy that i mean they had they i think they said a stat that we run the ball more than army and navy it's like it's yeah it's not so the uh that also that i don't know what happened because i didn't have sound on i was watching but i had uh ufc on because we were here uh there was that like four minute stretch where the refs just kept on like reviewing shit and and like that was just chaos i don't remember that part when was that it was towards the end of the game they were like reviewing a fourth down or third down and then the rest would like get on the mic and then they'd review some more just mess mess rough not a shocking loss and i was scarred by washington because i they had been playing i knew they were better than their record so i mean michigan can be competitive i think with tuttle but we need a quarterback yeah um okay so uh that was

i could not believe what i was watching i was texting hr figuring out how to get out of contracts i was yeah no the word the word dunzo was texted to me dunzo dunzo i was i i could not believe what my eyes were watching it was avoided by the two of you showing up yet do you want to be associated with smitty as like the two guys who miss and then the two guys who show up late who always have the obloes no you don't i think the obloes are shrinking but that yesterday was unavoidable now yeah jackie you called him yes called yeah we chatted and what do you say obloes yeah he had an oblo dave i didn't tell you this uh all-time moment so you didn't tell me this is what you were talking about i don't know what you're talking about but i don't know what you're talking about because i don't know what you're talking about because i don't know what you're talking about but i don't know what you're talking about but i don't know what you're talking about but i don't know what you're talking about you are working so you have that benefit but like i get it and i get i get it and i don't get it i get it and i don't get it like your kid's birthday party major thing what i don't get the people who work for this company like if you're if you're an nba player are you skipping your nba game because it's christmas no so that's what i because that's this company is right like that's what this company if if you play on thanksgiving you can't be like i got a family i'm not playing on sunday that is what you get paid to do so and everyone in the country would cut their fucking thumbs off to work here the smitty i want to spend time with my family then get the fuck out of here because i don't need you like you asked to work here when your contract's up you beg for renewal if smitty wants to leave non-compete go do whatever you want to do but to be like i've made the decision of value things come up that is what our company does just like the nba plays on christmas day and thanksgiving and the nfl those guys realize they have an unbelievable job and on this holiday you gotta go play well when the mets play the phillies and you don't do anything else you have to go play i don't know why that's hard for people to do that because to fathom and if you don't then don't be here i value it i value it it really comes down to like because obviously i have you know i got shit going on and trying to juggle it all but like what what would be the alternative working a nine to five where i have i i can watch every game at home and all that stuff i don't want that i don't want that people crisscross for travel for work it's like we're asking to come watch a fucking game it's and then it's made it's crazy and yeah there is a pecking order obviously there's certain people now it that like you can have that to say but when you don't do anything else and this is it you better fucking be there we have a dream job we literally have a dream job i agree you get to watch sports with with your friends on a couch it's crazy i called dan about today because today i was supposed to be in chicago so i was like we're canceling that right he's like yeah absolutely so yeah that was that was more performative call by you i mean it was bosco you called me i mean listen i wasn't gonna bring it up but you called me on whatever it was friday and you're like hey i was i was supposed to fly in for pick'em but the metz philly series and i was like yeah and you're like so should i cancel that trip and i was like yeah yeah all right but that was that was a performative i mean it was that was a no-brainer you dave sent the email saying the stream is the most important and by the way that email was not like it's sad i gotta send it but that wasn't like point i didn't know smitty was gonna i like to be honest i thought it's a no-brainer he was gonna go it wasn't like i was picking i was reminding people like hey be at these streams this is quite literally i don't think these two teams are rivals have ever played in the playoffs and it just so happens we have a massive crew of misfit mets fans who are on this black magic run we have these philly fans it's like all right this is kind of a no-brainer and and by the way like i a lot of the peanut gallery like these streams the streams generate millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of impressions millions and makes money like our streams are all sold and not only that but uh i truly believe like what makes us different is these type of moments like that's what that's what makes barstool barstool is when you get everyone in a fucking melting pot and just like a pressure cauldron and just going at each other that's what makes us different than every other website out there and every other media company out there they can try to do the watch alongs they're not the same like we have the authenticity of it so yeah i i mean i've been watching i've been glued to every stream same i i'm watching everything what happens i'll also say this and and you're gonna be right there wrongly again dan's still like probably the hardest worker we have he doesn't have to be in in kevin is still a lot and i'm traveling every other weekend we don't have to we are doing that and the money we get is paying the other people's salaries who don't bring in anything and then to not show up as a slap in the face to be like you guys keep fucking traveling dan has a full family you keep traveling every fucking weekend across the country to college football and doing streams every saturday sunday so you can pay me to do nothing and then when the one time we ask you to do something you act like we just put you out and you learn these lessons and you're gonna vet then get out then get out i mean i i agree with it it's just yeah we could i could i could work a lot less if i wanted to and and then we would make a lot less in in the people who we have paid just out of like i guess loyalty or they've been with us would not have money for jobs they want it so it it is an insane thing and by the way he was still probably gonna get away with it until he went absolutely bananas it wasn't we even shot him i don't know you know what i said i can pull up i go smitty's the new bosco he's like emotionally unstable victim blame like what even happened what is he so mad about like nothing happened smitty oh did you how was the birthday party and you go nuts slamming doors eyes twitching he has mental issues he's the new bosco give him some of your meds he's turned into the new bosco yes i would have been mad at you rico uh you weren't it it but it wasn't to the other because i do think you're in the office a lot you're blogging you've turned a better corner but you're also really really really really dumb you're really really dumb uh great bosco are you back on the hippo yeah back on the hippo all right good good good all right well let's uh how how do you think the rest of this series is gonna go bosco i mean the mets are a team i mean we're fucking playing unbelievable team of destiny yeah it's going it's going seven to the world series that that bryce harper uh so i don't know what to do at that point the climber clip no that one but the bryce harper at bat yesterday when it was i think two nothing uh two walks to start the inning bryce harper up and then three pitches three well the last pitch was a perfect pitch but a terrible swing and that was where i was like yeah they're they're dead and they're getting every big hat it'd be like when they got bases loaded it looked like man they're gonna be like oh my god they're gonna be like oh my god they're maybe the phillies are gonna get out of it they get the two out they're just they're everybody's contributing the pitchers are unbelievable team of destiny right now yeah dave you just went on that whole rant and rico's alluded to it but if if the mets go to the world series and it's game seven he's got his brother's wedding it's his actual wedding it's his actual wedding yeah you gotta go to the wedding all right what uh yes credit for being like a rational human you do you're 100 do i would not say you skip your brother's wedding your brother has to probably have like a live screen there but you gotta go to a wedding i get that no you gotta fucking game on saturday night you i bosco if that happens what i would do in your situation what about he said he had all these plans how far in advance could you made those plans if you went to the game surprise tickets to the phil's game saturday uh bosco what i would do in your position if that happens i would go to the wedding i'd enjoy the wedding but i would do like bosco updates from the bathroom you know like videos like every every couple of days where at least you're still still in touch but enjoy the wedding and like frank we had to let go frank go oh well he was he had to go he was holding that over your head for a while he was playing me content yeah he also made good content personally he was like he's i think he's said to me multiple times like i'm gonna die before i see him that's playoff game it's your fault big cat because it was that it was that padres mets yeah uh wild card round that i explained to him that he had to stream so i'm happy he looks so happy frank is like as happy as i've ever seen it's like one of those things where i'm i'm rooting for the phillies right now because uh i want to see max like it's good for pmt and also max is just he's just so fucking funny when he's in the fire but if the phillies lose this series like frank and the mets fans are yeah they're that's the same if if the phillies don't like there's a money thing i want to win and but if they don't i'll be rooting for the mets they're the best and they also like they've just been through so much shit like you could see it on kevin's face like he's just he's happy at any point awesome it's not over it's not over it's not yeah yeah uh all right and then i should have called you i apologize should have called you the other series i mean i the padres look awesome yeah they do lights out they they're just mashing uh and i i mean the the yankees if the yankees lose to the royals that'd be the funniest thing ever because that's one depressing stream watching those guys they're just they're because because it's like you you are like they're the absolute opposite of the mets i know that the mets have a huge payroll and so are the yankees but when you watch the yankees like aaron judge can't get a big hit john carlos stanton literally can't move and they're just sitting there like show us anything and then the mets have like every guy out of nowhere just got the biggest heart ever just doing crazy shit they got grimaces running all over the place like He has doom. like a sense of doom just with the yankee fans whereas the mets i mean it's quite a run tommy said it tommy said he was like i'm more nervous about the mets than i am the yankees yeah because he's like this is just he hates them that yeah he hates them that much he said he'd murder himself on a live stream if the if if the mets beat the yankees in world series he'll kill himself on the stream uh all right let's talk some football let's do some football this week drafting as college football parlay

over under 45 and a half i can't believe that i've gotten myself back into just like constantly checking for cam rising news but that's just what's happened um what do you guys got in this game bosco i was looking at arizona state but i can't get there i like utah this one yeah i like utah on the road i think they're better defense i know they're night and day from away from home but i'm gonna take our utah here i'm just so sick of the cam rising shit yeah it's so so brutal uh dave i'm gonna take arizona state at home uh utah state coming off the loss and i had a quarterback i i don't like the game this is a non-bet game for me but for the sake of the show i'll take arizona state all right i'm gonna take utah for the same for the sake of the show it's i can say right now it's a non-bet game but i'm definitely gonna bet it uh all right first game for saturday we will be there texas uh state fair of texas texas at oklahoma oklahoma plus 15 over under 50 and a half i'm so excited everyone come out we'll be on the fairgrounds uh 12 30 local time is our show uh it's gonna be great dave's gonna be testing every fucking thing in the entire fair shout out state fair of uh texas they they've offered to give me a guide so i can make my way to the fair so i can make my way to the fair so i can make my cut lines and get more in i've seen the foods i'm gonna eat i it's gonna be a debacle yeah it's i mean you're you have to do them all and it's just i don't know how you do them all they all sound disgusting okay so who do we who do we got in this game oh it's actually 14 and 50 and a half so texas is minus 14 14 i thought it was higher uh i like oklahoma plus the points okay why i just think it's gonna be closer texas i know they beat michigan rivalry game i'm gonna take the points for oklahoma yeah they keep it close this game is always no matter what it always somebody's not dead yeah i could see that happening yeah uh dave i i do like that logic from bosco i'll take oklahoma the points why because i think it's gonna be closer well that sums that that sums it up i just don't see texas i don't texas has shown yeah they beat the shit out of michigan but like they're pounding the shit out of anybody haven't they what yeah they beat the shit out of everybody exactly but they beat the shit out of everybody but everybody they're playing is not necessarily the best and oklahoma is in a little bit of a down year but i think the points are going to be close i like oklahoma i'm also taking oklahoma i always do think this game is closer than it's like want to throw out the records and yeah can you have a look a week ahead week in this situation i guess it's two weeks they're playing uh oklahoma no oklahoma is texas is georgia next georgia georgia i don't know if you can look ahead of the red river shootout rivalry whatever you want to call it i don't call it but this will be look ahead spot i like oklahoma and i like the over oh i i do believe texas is going to score no matter what so what is that a ghost i'll take uh oh you and the over all right i'm gonna take i'll take the over i'm gonna go different i'm gonna take texas i don't know i just think their offense is so good i don't know how oklahoma keeps up with them and yeah this is i i understand what you're saying about georgia but texas is also off a buy i believe yeah i'll take texas minus 14 in the over 50 and a half uh penn state at usc usc's plus five and a half usc just went to minnesota lost outright good pick dave overrunners 50 and a half i had that yep james franklin what a fucking loser totally does his wine it's all he does did you see it dave no he said so we have the new big 10 and usc and cal or sorry usc and you see la and washington oregon have to fucking fly all the way across the country all the time james franklin basically was like well it's bad for us too because apparently the runway at state college is too small so they have to take an hour and 15 bus trip to harrisburg i'm not gonna throw stones at that because i gotta tell you i've been the victim of a short runway on private flights so many times and it's an absolute pain in the ass when they're like oh can't can't land from miami to montauk runways too small gotta land in west hampton hour and a half in traffic i punch my fist on the table i'm like motherfucker so i feel that short runways so james franklin you found one person who has your back which people problems who who keeps doing that who keeps running in front of the camera liam ran across every two seconds this is like bitch running back and forth uh yeah so i'm not gonna criticize because i complain about the short runway all the time yeah uh okay so this game oh man i don't know usc feels like the big boy football is starting to hurt them a little bit uh and penn state i i still i think penn state is better than they've been in the years past they haven't played a ton of people although that illinois game like i think they won by 14 they dominated that game like they absolutely dominated that game i'm gonna take penn state minus five and a half um and hope that this isn't one of those penn state moments where it's like oh fuck they're not they're the same penn state team let me tell you i have a beat on usc when they travel to big 10 country they're gonna lose and when they get to play on the west coast in the coliseum and the hollywood elites they're gonna win i like usc here same okay usc for both these guys yeah i'm always picking against a pen but usc uh quarterback as well okay one of the one of the biggest games of the season ohio state at oregon oregon plus three over under 53 and a half did you guys see the end of the oregon game on friday night that was when i knew i was gonna have a bad that was the field goal yep dave mission point field goal 10 points in eight minutes or something dave there was there was 20 seconds left and i saw your tweets unbelievable that is the biggest loser shit ever it was the spread was 23 they were down 24 they kicked a field goal with 20 seconds left you gotta like it though if you're the alumni of michigan state i just was so so so mad uh and then i had unlv i switched and took unlv and they had that fucking they basically were like they were gonna win the game and syracuse scored on third or fourth down it was bad bad friday night for me bad friday night for me uh okay so ohio state oregon rico i'll start with you ducks what are you thinking i think both of these teams haven't been tested at all um and haven't looked great but i'm gonna take oregon here i believed in them from the season earlier uh i like dylan gabriel i think oregon gets it done okay dave i am absolutely not sold on this ohio state team yet at all i'm gonna take oregon again i think you're gonna see a lot of what like okay usc goes to minnesota loses michigan goes to washington loses the team's traveling across country gonna lose a lot of his games so i think oregon wins in the scheme of things they're probably both playoff teams if we're being honest but uh i'm gonna take oregon here i want to take oregon dylan gabriel's looked off he had he had that was the other part of that game he had two bad uh goal line interceptions which were just killers and i did chip kelly does chip kelly not scare you guys no chip kelly going back to oregon he's maybe been holding something back a little bit i'm gonna take ohio state minus three this might be a stupid pick but i i do think that they've been i think they've been going through the motions a little bit whereas oregon has not played anyone really good and they've had moments where they've looked really bad and not like you know things have been clunky i'm gonna take ohio state minus three because it's also like ohio state has two two games on their schedule it's this and and and i i guess they play penn state but this is michigan like that's yeah and we're we're not shaping up like a real game right now but yeah all right last game old miss at lsu lsu plus three and a half over under 63 and a half Saturday night, Death Valley, LSU, I don't know. I mean, they're undefeated in the SEC, which is crazy because they have not, you know, that South Carolina game. Obviously, we saw them week one USC. Ole Miss kind of recovered. I knew I took South Carolina last week. I knew they were dead the minute. They just can't play from behind, and they were behind instantly. I think they went for it on fourth down on their own territory, and it's like you just knew it was over. I'll start. I'll take the three-and-a-half at home. I just know how hard of a place that is to play. I'm a little nervous because I don't think – I do think Ole Miss has more talent, and this is one of those games that Lane maybe feels like he can win and then he'll get killed by Georgia, but I'll take LSU at home plus three-and-a-half. Rico. I like Ole Miss. I like the offense. I like Dart. I like Lane. I like Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss and the over. We're all opposite, man. Ever. Everything. Damn. Ole Miss and the over? Yep. I don't know. I'm going to stick with LSU. Okay. Let's do our cards. Draft Kings. What a slate, boys. What a slate. These are the weekends we dream of. We'll get back to Pickham in a second.

See Amazon.com slash Amazon Prime for details. Let's do some cards. Like I said, I'm going to finish my card more Friday. I do have one game I like before I get to my mortal, so I'll add this one. I like Pitt minus three. They are playing against. Let me see. Who is this? No. Cal. Cal. That's just a spot. Cal has to go across the country after a very emotional, like, late Saturday night loss. Rico. Washington plus the two and a half against Iowa. I like Memphis minus seven and a half against USF. I like USC plus five and a half. I like New Mexico against minus six and a half. Air Force is a mess. Good call on Navy. I rode. Maybe you guys can talk me out of this. It's an all-time letdown spot, but I think Vandy keeps it close against Kentucky. Like, I don't see Kentucky blowing them out. I like Vandy plus the 14. I guess I'll spoil it. My mortal is Kentucky this week. Okay. How's that for talking about? Not, I think it's the obvious. First of all, it makes me more excited that you just jump back in on Vandy after that. You're like, it seems like a letdown spot. You think? Yeah, no shit. No shit. The biggest letdown. And I think Kentucky's very good. Very good. I don't know if they could blow them out. Did you have, Rico, did you have Vandy last week? No. All right, so that's even better, Dave. Yeah, mortal Kentucky. I just gave it 13 and a half. Kentucky's defense is outstanding. Right. Boise minus 20 and a half, and then I have a mortal later. Okay. Dave? I already gave my mortal, right? Kentucky minus 13 and a half at home against Vandy. I like Bama bounce. The back minus 21 against South Carolina, Iowa minus two and a half at home against Washington against Boston. Again, they're USC plus five and a half at home against Penn state, Illinois minus 19 and a half against Purdue produced terrible Oklahoma plus 15 over. I guess he says 14 and a half. I have 15, but over 15 and a half BYU at home minus five against Arizona, Georgia minus 34 at home against Mississippi state bounce back week for Tennessee minus 15 and a half at home world's largest cocktail. No, that's not, excuse me. First Florida. That's Georgia, Florida. So Tennessee minus 15 and a half at home against Florida. That's more of the Peyton Manning spider game. Ole miss minus three and a half at LSU. What's the total there? 63 and a half. Give me the over that UCLA at home plus five and a half against Minnesota continuing with my big 10 pack 12 merger who flies where and I'll give DL. On a spin plus four at home against Kansas state. I think Kansas state's very different home and road boys that, that, that, uh, I really need Travis Hunter to win the eyes. I really need up there. What is, what are his odds? He's second, but the running back from Boise just runs for 3000 yards a game and he's favored by 20 and a half this week. He's going to run all over Hawaii. I mean, he's beating Barry Sanders records, right? Plus 300 Travis Hunter Genties plus two 25. Man, I wish I had a cash out. I have Travis Hunter five grand at 40 to one. I would catch up. It's a big pop, but I can't, I got to ride with him. Yeah, that's a big pop. And I, I'm worried about Gentee, but if Travis Hunter, if, if, if, if the Colorado gets to seven or eight wins, he plays like no one's doing this, but no one's ever done one. Well, Barry Sanders, he's ahead of him. Barely. I'm just saying. I don't think you want to be in the, he's barely ahead of Barry Sanders, but no one's ever done what Travis Hunter's doing. Yeah. It's I, I, I'm just watching every Colorado game. Just being like, you're going to start watching like Boise state and just like hoping they stack the box 11 deep. Dave, I'm not just watching Boise state. I am like, so on Saturday he ripped off a 75. Yard run to start the game. He does it instant. It's before the clock's at 13. He has a 70 yard touchdown run. And by the way, Dan, they're not just touchdown runs. He's breaking 3000 tackles. He's phenomenal. Minus one 30 to score three touchdowns. It's not like just gaping holes. He's doing it himself too. And, uh, so Dave, he, he has a 75 yard touchdown run. I'm basically just like constantly box score watching him. He, I think it was then he had, uh, six carries for 82 yards. So his next five runs were nothing. And I was ready to tweet being like, take out that run. He's averaging like a yard and a half of carry before I could tweet it. 60 yard touchdown. You know who that is? Barry Sanders. Yeah. It's fucking brutal. Brutal. He's, he's, he's so goddamn fast too. I know. And it's too late for me to bet him to hedge. Uh, all right. Uh, mortals mortals. I have to win a mortal. I'll start. I'm going to take UNC plus five and a half. It's gross, but I like the spot for them. Uh, Georgia tech has, uh, off their win against Duke UNC back home. I don't know. This is an ugly pick. Ugly, ugly pick. I also keep splitting my mortals. Like on the college football show, I took Wisconsin. They won by a million against Purdue. I shouldn't have done that. I should have just kept with Wisconsin on both shows, but I'm taking UNC plus five and a half. Uh, Hank, I'm going Ole Miss minus three and a half versus LSU. Okay. I'm going pit minus three. Okay. You like that one? Uh, Jack, we're going Kansas state minus four and then Evo is doing UNC plus five and a half. Okay. So, all right. All right. So that makes me feel better. That makes me feel better. Uh, Dave has his mortal of Kentucky, which add Kentucky to my card minus 13 and a half. And then, uh, Bosco finish us off. It's very late. You get a, it's very late. You get a list game this late in the season, but I'm going to take Missouri. Oh, minus 27 and a half off of a loss at UMass. You talk about being pissed off. I know Miami and South Florida, maybe they weren't that pissed off, even though Miami covered when they had to go there. They're definitely pissed off. They're going to UMass to play this game. Definitely pissed off. I think that shows in the score. Missouri smokes them minus 27 and a half. If they don't, they have absolutely no heart. Missouri minus the 27 and a half. Run it up on you. This late in the game. Don't say list. Don't say list. Don't say list. All right. Good show, boys. Dave, I'll see you on Saturday. Good luck with the eating Bosco. I'll see you on the stream in a couple hours. Yep. Uh, watch it. I'm going to watch every second of it. Let's go. Phil's. Sorry. I let you down, Dave. Yeah. Don't patronize me. Growth. Sorry. You let me down. All right, Bosco. No, you know, you're not that, that, that made me more mad. That little, sorry. You let me down Bosco. How many presidencies? You're not growing. Soon to be five presidencies. Yeah, exactly. Well, got to be able to grow. Dan, I'll let you know if he sends another Dunzo text.
