Ring the bell, the deli is open. Bore's head committed to craft since 1905. Okay boys, where's the records? Okay, so we got some stuff we got to hit at the top because Ebo's got to go back to mostly sports. But congratulations, Ebo is back, he's here, he's shown his face. Dave, what's wrong? Do you see this light thing on my head? Yeah, I can't get rid of it. Why don't you move, if you move up in your seat? Yeah, if I block my head, I've been. Yeah, it's right there on the. Yeah, it's that window. Yeah, is that that window? Why don't you just move your computer a little? Let me move my computer a little. Like move your computer so it's not directly face towards the window. Stop it. Well, I'm going to tell it. I don't know what options. I think it's the other window. No, I think you know it's that window. No, no, I think you got it. You got it. I mean that window too, but yeah. Well, I mean, but the one he was talking about was the one he was at. Yeah, that's better. Yeah, yeah, there you go, because there was right down my face. Now it's good. Okay, now. All right, so Ebo is here because I told Ebo, Ebo's leading Bob Diaco. He's nine and four, Rico, you're eight and five. I'm seven and six. Jack, Jack McCarthy, seven and five, Hank, seven and five, Zupi, seven and six, four and nine. That's kind of crazy. I feel like you've done better than that. But I had Ebo here because Ebo was talking shit online on Saturday and I sent him to me. He was saying he was saying, how's the weather down there? I won my my my mortal and I said, this guy, Ebo hasn't shown up to one pick him this year. And I know that he's got stuff going on, but I said that he can't win the Bob Diaco if he doesn't at least show up to at least one pick him. Is that fair? I think that's fair. Yeah. So he's here. What's your what's your mortal this week? Mortal this week is probably going to be Utah. Well, no, we're going to do the mortal. Well, you want to do now. Yeah, do now. Yeah. So Utah. Yeah. How how is your do you want to make a case? Because I do love you, Ebo. And I said, you had to be here if you want to talk shit, which you said I have no problem with. He is. Ebo is my fantasy manager as well in the mic trout league. The Ebo you I have been standing on the table for JMU. Would you like to use like maybe a couple minutes to to talk about JMU to pitch JMU, then you go back to mostly sports. Yeah, let's let's talk JMU. I mean, if we're going to start with what is most important to the committee, the four letter word over there, ESPN said, strength of record. That's their stat. Okay. We are the number one group of five team in that stat, strength of record in front of Tulane, front of North Texas. I think two lanes getting a lot of credit for being two historically awful power conference teams that they somehow got the schedule at home, which would be Duke and Northwestern. Yeah, historically or not good. That shouldn't count. Yeah, you beat two nerd schools. Congratulations. I wish we had thought to schedule two power four teams at home. That's such a good idea that Tulane had. North Texas worth, worth strength, the schedule than we do. So they can't point to our strength, the schedule. They try to point to the wazoo game now that we have a common opponent, but all the matters as you went, yeah. And also they were playing against an NAIA quarterback for some reason. Okay. So I don't think you can use that as a point. I'd also like to, if you would, can we stop calling it the group of five spot? Why? It's technically the five highest rated conference champions. So if there is a year where there is an undefeated Boise State and an undefeated Sunbelt champion or an undefeated American champion, so we get two of them, like a 13-0 Boise State, a 13-0 USF. They would probably get in over a three-loss ACT, both of them. But this we would have this hypothetical under this hypothetical, there's two conference undefeated and a three-loss AC. Yeah, or maybe a two-loss, it depends. I guess just what the picture is. Here's the hypothetical warrior. This is a joke and it shouldn't be in the in the playoffs and it's a waste of the spot. Oh no. You can't. How about that? How about that hypothetical? You can't be the nobody. Look at this stone down on it. You're a man of the people, you're a man of the people. And I'm the fuck out. How about that? Why is it a waste of time? I don't care about you lobbying to get in over fucking Tulane North Texas and he's gonna fuck. No one gives a fuck. You're gonna lose by a hundred in the first round stupidly to go play someone else. No one fucking cares. Go talk about this on another podcast. I don't PFT went there. Nobody gives a fuck when you're lobbying as North Texas fucking Tulane and some other podunk fucking dickhead school. Fair. Well, Ebo, this did accomplish the fact that you you you've punched your time clock and you're very eligible to win the bop. Yeah. So yeah, and good job. Good job. Yes. Good job. You also knew that was gonna yeah, probably. We're leading to that. It was basically, is it 90 seconds? Is it two minutes? Is it three minutes? The day's gonna be like, fuck this, but good job. You took your lickings. Now you can win Bob Diaco. All right. All right. See you, Bo. Take care, guys. All right. What's up, boys? I want Rico. What's up, Diaco? I think Rico. I mean, that is ridiculous on a serious note. It's so stupid, but it's like, yeah, this is all basketball like it. The cutesy little upset just ain't gonna happen. So like, it's a total waste of a spot. It's stupid. Like, honestly, that was ridiculous to hear somebody lobby against teams who's lobbying against like, I like, I like it just because I do think you should include like, you're all, you're, you spend so much time with PFT. Like, you're, you're very, yeah, I don't know. You're only saying that because he says that so much. Yeah, but there's gonna be teams that are left out this year that like, honestly, you could see making a run to like the final four. And you're gonna have a team that is a joke in there. So not a joke, not a joke in a sense. I had a great season, but they're just like, no way, James Madison, like, can win a game. Yeah, I see your point. I'm just saying more than like, you play the sport and to have it. If you play a sport and half of the sport is just ineligible ever making the playoff, that's such a bummer to me. Yeah, I don't know, though, that should be automatically. Like, you can have theoretically a J.M.U. or somebody or a boy, oh, whoever boy's been it, but like, scheduling big teams, they pull off a big upset, they have a big win, they go on to feed it. That's a little different. Like, you look at J.M.U. schedule, like they played Louisville and they lost. Like, they, they, they haven't beaten anybody. Like, they're, this isn't the team. Like, so it's stupid. All right. So Ebo is now eligible to win Bob Diaco because he had, I know he's got a lot going on. He does wake up bars to on Wednesdays and then he does mostly sports. But when he, when he churped me, I was like, well, you can't churped me. You haven't even been on the show. Now he can. So how are we doing, boys? Bosco. What up? How's that was tough loss for Bama? Tough. You guys are not, Gensag is way better. Gensag is very good. Yeah, front court is very good. They're in the portfolio. Yeah, they're in the portfolio. How's Fees week going, Bosco? So it's going pretty good. Yeah. Are you a fun. Fun to watch. Wish the players error had a little more juice in terms of the games, like the environments, you know, it's empty. But, uh, yeah, it's great. It's wall-to-wall action. You, I felt so bad for you yesterday with I was state. That was brutal. I agree with Bosco. I think the players error has ruined the Maui and the Lannis. It sucks. It wears my Fees week. My Fees week is gone. I don't know if you've seen this day, but they just don't have the same teams playing in Maui or at Lannis. Every team's now playing in the players error into empty jam and Vegas. It sucks. The Maui meant something. It means something to me. I didn't know that happened. I've been paying attention. But I haven't watched that. I've been, I'm in one country. I was in Del Marce. I haven't seen any hoop. Michigan's Michigan's out there too. Michigan's out there. Yeah, they won by gave Dan that a leg. Yeah, one by 50 minus six and a half yesterday. Thank you very much. I was actually mad at you, Dave. I was mad at you for about an hour yesterday. I want you to know that. I because I know you're in, I know you're on vacation. I understand that. But Fees week is important to us. We always lose all Fees week. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. But we do it together. We lose together. Like I like my memories like when people are like, Oh, what's your favorite Thanksgiving memory? It's like when I was fucking standing in the playground with my like two-year-old and watching the Yukon for overtime game as we sweat that remember that game? Yeah, I was watching, yeah, I was watching it actually at my parents. Then they don't I don't have like, I actually, I'm going to my parents tomorrow. My parents don't have like, a couch in their place for Thanksgiving. So I actually ordered a lazy boy to be delivered. Just wait. Wait. Did you order the whole couch or did you see? A sectional, a little part. Okay. 'Cause they want the whole thing. My dad doesn't want the whole thing. He has dentist chairs that are so uncomfortable. And you literally have to sit on the ground. It's ridiculous. That would have been a power move you got over a climber. You just brought one yourself. I almost did. I asked what was in stock. I almost got her a climber. The other one looked more comfortable. I'm buying. I actually knew. I discussed it because I know my chair is going to be the most comfortable chair in the house. And it's bought for me. And then like, my mom's going to want to sit in it. And then what? Because like, what did for me? Because you guys won't get a couch. Right. So, but yeah, I get a couch kind of. I think you need to do a, you need to do a pole on it. And they don't know. They won't even let me. I was going to say you need to pull everyone. You should, you should like text everyone in your family being like, is if I bought a couch. Would anyone be upset? And anyone who, who has any resistance, they cannot sit. Well, yeah, we've already gone over. It's like I go over it every year. And it's one of those things. It's miserable when you're there. And then you leave. And you forget about it. And then Thanksgiving rolls around you. I just know what is said. It's the worst couch setup I've ever seen in the planet. Yeah. It's brutal. In the spot. It's down holiday. It's all sitting. Yeah. Yeah. And they, and they have two dentist chairs. And then these two uncomfortable couches with no angle to TV. You just sit on the floor. It's brutal. So I got a couch coming tomorrow. I remember there was watching that game laying on the floor. So back to what I was saying is I was mad at you because that Iowa state game was so brutal. I tried to, I missed it. I tried to get that in. And it would have been an easy over. Yeah. But I texted you a clip. And I said, I fucking hate Fees week. I'm retired. And I think you're in wine country. You deserve vacation. But I didn't get a response for an hour. And I was mad. I was so mad I had to go. I, because I needed just someone to say, oh my God. That's the worst. I had to go to the big guy. I had to call on the big guy. Elio. Yeah. I texted Elio. I said, he hasn't responded. And then he just wrote back. Oh my God. That's gross. And I just said, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I needed. Now I can go back. Back to my day. I just needed one person to acknowledge it. I can see it. It was so, so bad. I need the Michigan. So. Yeah. Then I got Michigan. And I took the Gonzaga over at the end. That Alabama might be my favorite team to, like, they're the most trustworthy team to be down 10. And they're like, they're going to still hug threes. Because I was in that spot at like 11 30 at night. Whereas like, if Alabama, it was a 10 point game. It didn't matter. It's 40 seconds left. It's like if Alabama hits one three, we're good. And they did. So thank you, Rico. As we're recording this, I like sitting all today. Oh. Okay. Yeah. I faded him yesterday. I got a lot of fight. Six plus seven against USC. I don't think USC is that good. Yeah. Yeah. USC struggle with Boise. Yeah. They've struggled. Everything was good. It's Fran from Chicks in the office. The weather is getting cooler. And Abercrombie's fall drop has everything I need for the season. The best selling A&F Sloan Taylor pant is a closet staple for me. I'm always wearing it to work events. Happy hour. Anytime I want to be a bit more dressed up. And the viral Dylan dress is easy. One and done perfection. But my fall uniform will always be denom pair with a Henley sweater. A bra-free top. It's comfortable. Effortless. It just never fails. Find your fall capsule at Abercrombie. Shop in the app online and in stores. Also, I was selling Bosco at Cincinnati. I was sitting next to the head basketball coach. I didn't know who he was. But met him introduced. I'm like, how long have you been here? Five years. Oh, you know, Rico Bosco is like, no, I've never heard of him. That was. That wasn't great to hear. And then the guy offered. I'm like, he's our college basketball guy. He's like, oh, give him myself. I'm like, I absolutely won't do that. No way. It's enough to do that too. Oh, man. You got to see that. You got no one at Cincinnati, Bosco? No, we got to work our way in. I text Dave. Thank you for pushing me. We'll be better at work. He's on the list. He's a target. Work our way up. So I'd like an updated list, maybe by New Year's. All right. Sure. Just an entire spreadsheet. I'm surprised. Nobody is Cincinnati. Yeah. Some of them are dead zones. I don't know. Yeah. What are you? What are you Verizon? What are you talking about? Like, you don't know. You didn't know a guy who came up from somewhere else. On your hand. What's wrong with your thumb? Oh, whiteboard. I was writing on a whiteboard. That's all. It's just red ink. Got it. Doing some whiteboard work. Yeah. But yeah. I mean, the whiteboard with your thumb? Sometimes. Yeah. If you're making error, I'm a quick like. Okay. I did see Joe Yanks did a live yesterday. Live spaces. I saw that. Yeah. He was down. It seemed like he was down. Loves the money. No. Loves the word. Obviously. Why speaking to your yanks and things that cross my desk this week? What type of absolute psychopath invites you to talk to high school kids? Oh. I actually forgot about this because it felt like a year ago. But Rico, we have that. Put it in the YouTube. Put the picture in the YouTube. We have the video. There has to be a video. I need. I will pay. I have no video. What? I just has to be a video. There's no video. This is similar to like when they put out a. How did this come about? Like, why are you doing this? Don't you think this is a problem? We're putting a bounty like I know some have been launched. And I can't tell of Nadoo. It's serious. He's now saying he's going to speak in front of a class. College. No, he doesn't do high school. He does colleges. This is the first time in a college class. We're education shaming though. I'm just saying. Yeah. One of the teachers there is a friend of mine. Obviously, friends are the sort of the school. They're like, listen, it's a journalism class. English. We've been studying podcasts. And like your history. Obviously, you've been around forever. And, you know, with. Actually, no, your history. Yeah. How much did they look up? I think they looked up a lot. Yeah. Like, you're not. You're not. You're not. Been doing this for a long time. But. Was that me? That's like, oh, we know your. Your aviation history. Like, been lawn in. Like coming. I need this video. I'm putting a bounty on the video. Definitely a video. Cash prize for the video. There's no video. If you. If you get me Chris video with audio, 5K cash. No. What did you say? What was your message? It was. Listen, I was like, as a senior in high school, I think I was. Just kind of saying it's okay to not know what you want to do. In terms of things, they were asking questions about that. Obviously, the fire department. Like, how you get into things. Um, bouncing around a million different jobs. I was basically saying like, you know, I am where I am. But it's a, it's a convoluted path. Like. Just, you know, work hard. Whatever. It was, it was kind of just a bunch of things. There's a lot of Q and A. Yeah. Well, it was some of the questions. First question. How late were you to the funeral? Because they used to watch some of the episodes. That was one. Love it. That was good. Fans. Um, what was your answer? I said five minutes. Five minutes. He didn't make it. Yeah. Yeah. Were there any parents who afterwards were like, what was that? We have not got any complaints from the parents. Because if I was a parent of a child at that school, I definitely would. I had a couple of real texts be like, what's wrong with this world? From who? Are you going to withdraw your like kid from the school? You know, Prince will ask me fired. No, he's a good guy. Do you promote? I was saying what world? I got a look. I'm gonna air it out. I'm gonna try to find it. Did you pick up any new riders? I don't know if I picked up any, but it's always good to add to the numbers. Yeah, you can recruit a little bit. Bosco with the mayor. I got one. I got one. Imagine a dad at home that that is a fan of Barcel hearing his son randomly say. This guy named Rico Bosco spoke to our senior class today about success. He has to be fired. You have to pull your kid from the school. His name rhymes with Bill Compton. Okay. You said. Imagine sitting at Thanksgiving dinner and the kids like calls, calls his dad a scale. He's like, where the fuck did you learn that word? How do you know that word? We'll take. We'll take. We'll take. Make sure we take Bill off the old text. Stay in touch, list. Okay. What? Did you, uh, I mean, did you, did anyone ask a meek fill question? Is that Photoshop? It's very funny. That was a very funny Photoshop. No, they didn't ask. But that's the thing is not beyond like being real. Like you're not, like yes, you're having like the public conversations. And the side corners of the gym, the real conversations are going down. And like real recruitment of like Al Qaeda. Yeah, I got you. Did you request no video? No, it's just how it is. What does that mean? Like they don't have phones during the school day. Well, they were taking photos. Those, those definitely came from a phone. Yeah, that was the, uh, faculty. There's gotta be a video out there. All right, Jack. We'll hunt down the video. Because what is. It's just something I never learned. What does Zapruder mean, Dave, when you say that. Zapruder. Zapruder. As I never. That's what. It's the name of the guy who took the JFK video. Oh, okay. I had no idea. His name was Zapruder. Got it So we need the Zapruder film. I thought it was a type of camera. So no, it's like the way Abraham Zapruder He was the guy he would had. Yeah, you don't see a lot of Abraham's anymore. That's a ridiculous name Not a lot of ebbs, but it was you know, he was born in 1905. That's a that's a 1905 name That's a throwback. Yeah. Yeah, he was so we need that film. This one's brought to you by Tick Pick ever actually read a ticket receipt service fee processing fee convenience fee Convenient for who that's an extra 30 bucks a ticket. Tick Pick doesn't do that never has never will No fees means the exact same seat same section same row Costless on Tick Pick fans trust Tick Pick for all their live events check to reviews yourself So why overpay for the exact same seat download the Tick Pick app and never pay another service fee again And for new Tick Pick customers take $20 off your first order with promo code PMT20 in the Tick Pick app Terms apply that's PMT20 at checkout for $20 off your first order Would any any any big picture stuff about the college football playoff Jeremiah loves should be the highest man Not unbelievable not because I have a 25 to one ticket on them But pavia is playing fucking unbelievable, too. I thought I thought Jeremiah love was totally dead I think now it's he has to obviously have another like highlight reel Again, Stanford and then if Mendoza loses to Ohio State in the big 10 championship game. I think it's live Put my car the horse the car ahead of the horse there a little bit, but that's okay. Oh We mean in terms of Mendoza losing Ohio State. Yeah If Mendoza loses this by the way, where this is a pick them show This line is rocking the other way like it's 9 1/2 now. It's 10 right now. Oh, sorry 10. I had 9 1/2 the But it's crazy that that Jeremiah love is back and I I love I Usually can't stand the new X algorithm where if you click on one thing then that's all you see for the rest of the week like you click on one Death video or something you just get gnarly shit. I love it right now because I tweeted about Jeremiah love like three times And now every single tweet I see is Jeremiah loves the best running best player in college football just smashing reach we don't all of them It's great. It's great shout out Elon for the algorithm All right, so any other Rico you got any hypotheticals No, we got the big 10 tie breakers. Yeah, go ahead. Give it to us. So I guess we're obviously if Ohio State in the Indiana win They're in if for Michigan to get in the big 10 championship game It'll be Indiana wins Michigan wins and then Washington wins and then for Oregon Michigan It would be I'm not even gonna write that down because Purdue would be Indiana and that ain't happening. So really the only case is Indiana wins Michigan wins and Washington winters is all very live. They've you might be in the big 10 championship game Would you want to be? I think you're not wanting to be my ideal scenario is we win Oregon beats Washington they go I don't And there is no way that Michigan's not getting in if they beat No, I was they I firmly believe that well I know I know you're saying well. I'm saying no No, but I'm saying if they went to the big 10 championship game in loss. I think they would be out Yeah, that's why I don't want to go. Yeah, yeah, right right you think they would be out if they went to the big 10 championship game Yeah, I think they could yeah, that'd be a third loss I think they would because it's not like they're yeah, but it's a game. They caught that's where it gets here But it's like you caught him automatically out a lot would dictate how that game was played right like if it's closed But I I think they're a hundred percent in if they beat all out of the state and that's it So I like nobody's been able to hang with Ohio State if they took down on how state you get more points in my book for that I understand you are but they're they're a bubble team and if they lost their third game It's not what if they go play in the end and lose by 20 They're not getting right. Yeah, it's not like in the end of going to the big 10 title game in losing. They're they're fine Right, well, that's where it's hard because it's like all right yet all they lost to Indiana by 20 So we're gonna penalize of that. But it's hey, they also qualified to make that fucking game and took down a monster That everyone is saying is nobody can play with they played a one-score game back We were still in a fucking pools in August against Texas and ran through everybody else Michigan beats them They'll lose points for that. It's tough. That's where this committee. It's it's very it's interesting. It's compelling. It's you know dramatic It's it's why it's the best but interesting compelling dramatic It's why it's the best I just I just defended Michigan. He had jump on my adjectives. You're not really I mean I think it's a fair thing You're saying did you attack his adjectives? He attacked my adjectives. Yeah, he did no you did Dave You did you did you said the mocking compelling interesting and drama You never attack another man's adjectives That's the first first first rule of writing come on Obviously, that's Joey Yang's obviously. Obviously. I was not attacking. So yeah, you should listen to just just tune into a little bit of Joey Yang's Live space. Dave. He's he sounds a lot like Rico Shocker He loves the Johnny's though loves the Johnny's I did hear it actually. Yeah, did see it. I did see it Yeah, Rick Patino's a white suit Rick Patino's doing podcasts. Yeah, I saw it. I saw radio shows They're not concerned about that Okay, what what no Rico, where people coming at you for your five TVs? Yeah, a little bit What it's deceptive when you back up like yeah the other two were very nice gifts when you Dan I think they're 27 inches, but they're they're all auxiliary TVs. They're not it's not like I'm coming down I mean like look at how great this is they're four and five's like when you really got to go big You roll out four and five like people like a small computer monitors. All right. Good thing is it's my basement. So yeah It's your world That is your world down there. Yeah, that's your safe space like nobody nobody should yeah, that is your escape. Mm-hmm Imagine a pick them from there. I Be interested. I'd be interested something. I mean you'd have to take down probably a lot of stuff off the walls And I had a dartboard somewhere It'll be one of those things that'd be like a basement and then there's a secret door to the real base He claims that we show off into real now for it's not There's nothing on the walls like hey, where's it? You can see the outline of where all the frames were Fall is propaganda Okay, let's let's dive into the games robbery week this episode is brought to you by state farm Football has a play for just about everything. You can go deep keep it on the ground or drop something nobody sees coming And whether you want to run a flea flicker of the push you need a plan to fit your unique situation That's why state farm takes the time to get to know you so they can help personalize coverage for your life and budget Now that's a solid game plan like a good neighbor state farm is there wait. I got one more Dan Dan Dave did you see this? I know you're traveling. Did you happen to see the Creighton radio call from yesterday? No, I saw I saw it on my timeline. I didn't tweet on it. I mean awesome Awesome guy loses his mind. Calls the rent out by name. Is it what the fuck? It was He said fun. Believe yeah, wait. Hold on. I'll pull it up. He said fuck. It's it's right up your alley Like if it was something else to be like oh bad beat this night like this is right up your alley. So it's like Oh, I got it It was I was kind of shocked when I heard the beginning of it It was a bad call by the way He goes a fucking foul Fucking foul I said blocking blocking I said blocking. I thought it was fucking. I wish it was fucking But yeah, that guy gets even better. Yeah, he's just he goes right after him. It's unbelievable. Okay Let's get into some games. We got rivalry week. Let's start with loaded loaded card loaded card Georgia vs Georgia tech. Oh, by the way the Pat Hill standings Rico nice week seven and four good to be back I'm at 52% Dave you're at 51.2% and you were 75 and then I was 11 and 12 last week 50 so I'm 52% you're 51.2 and then Rico's 43.6. I fucking hate I didn't for some reason put Charlotte on my card even though we talked about it Dave. I gave you the stat I put it on. It's too many shows. I was easy. That was easy the the Kirby stat Um, I took bear's picks last week. You want one and one he had Mercer they lost about 100 but he also had pit So those are one and one for for me in real life. I think that Georgia Tech may be on the show. - Yeah, you gotta, you can't lose with other people's picks. - No, you cannot. - It's the killer. Okay, first game, Georgia at Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech's plus 13 and a half, over under 59 and a half, Rico, I'll start with you. - I love Georgia. I called it last week with with Narcduzi that being a brutal, not a brutal spot. Tough spot for him, go show it, Georgia Tech, game at home for them, they just lay an egg. I think it's a dead team. They're losing spots on the Narcduzi stuff a little bit. - Pit played Georgia Tech last week and Pit was coming off an awful loss to Notre Dame when he said he didn't care about it. I backed Pit in that spot against Georgia Tech. So I went against Georgia Tech, that was good to me. I think the air is out of the blue now. Don't love Haynes King, light Kirby smart way better. I think Georgia blows the doors off of him here. The games at Georgia Tech, is it a neutral site? Actually, where ever he spends them? - Yeah, right, so I apologize for that. But Georgia Tech just, after laying an egg at home last week, I don't think you get off the mat. I think Georgia kills him, kills him. - I think they get off the mat. I like Georgia Tech here to keep this game close. - I do too, plus 13 and a half. I'm more just, whenever there's a rivalry game, I'll just take the underdog just 'cause these weird shit happens. - Remember last year, I like that it's actually at that dome. I feel like that Georgia Tech may be able to move the ball a little bit in that dome. - Yeah, okay, next one, the Friday game, Texas A&M at Texas, Texas plus two and a half, over under 51 and a half. Texas A&M is in, Texas A&M has not played anyone in the SEC. Texas still, under Rico's hypothetical, still has a shot. I do not think they do, but obviously big, big game. I'm gonna take Texas plus two and a half. I'm gonna do the same thing with rivalry. Home team, getting points, weird shit can happen. - You don't think they have a shot? You don't think they have a shot at all, Dan? - No. There's too many two, two losses teams in front of them. And they're lost to Florida's stinks. - Yeah. - Who are they gonna jump? - I don't have a shot either. - Yeah, who are they gonna jump? - Well, if Vandy loses to Tennessee-- - Okay. - Trying to look at what else? - I think Georgia Tech, they jump Georgia Tech. - Well, that doesn't matter. Georgia, it's whoever's gonna be in the ACC championship. - Right. - So that does-- - Yeah, there's definitely work to do. They didn't, they didn't help themselves. - I mean-- - But I've put my, yeah. I'm rooting for them to at least have a case. I think Texas wins. - Remember they have-- - They have for a couple of weeks. - It's not that they have to get to, to 11 or 12. They have to get to 10. - 'Cause of the bottom two, yeah. - Right. - So, that might be-- - That might be, yeah. - That might be difficult to do. - If Alabama loses, if BYU gets smoked in the big 12 championship game, if Vandy loses, Michigan has to lose, Utah probably has to lose. That's, there's a lot, there's a lot they have to do. I'm gonna take Texas, so where do you got Dave? - And I think they, I've, listen, they've been good all season. It's one of those things. You go on to fear that conference. I don't care if you've avoided some of the big boys that beat Notre Dame. That's a great win. I don't think Texas is great. It may be playing a little better, but I like A&M here. - I also like the over. I'm gonna take 51 and a half the over. Rico. - Texas. - Okay. - Trust him, taking Texas. - You trust them. - Trust him in this spot, yeah, I do. I've been saying, I'm just gonna put my line in the sand. Like I think, I think they deliver at home. We'll see. I think they take care of it. Okay, next up we have Vandy at Tennessee. Tennessee minus two and a half, over under 65 and a half. I took Tennessee in the college football show. I'll stick with it. This is a game I don't really have a strong feeling about. Tennessee impressed me. That was, I think that was my first bad flip of the year. I flipped from Tennessee to Florida because I had a good flip. The Oregon flip was good. The Oregon, you know, covered against USC. But I'm gonna take Tennessee here minus two and a half. Rico. I'm gonna take Vandy in the over. I really like watching Poppy play. I think this is gonna be a lot of points. I like the over and I like Vandy. Dave. - I'm gonna go with Vandy. I've been on Vandy the whole year. This is a huge win for them. Would it shock me if they lost? No, but this team, they've been ready the whole season. They, you know, this is not a team that came in settling. They were like, oh, we get a couple of wins. I really, I think they know their season's the line. Play us chance on the line. I got Pavey and company. - Okay, next up, Iron Bull, Alabama to Auburn. Auburn plus six over under 46 and a half. Same thought. Home team rivalry, game catching points. I'll take Auburn plus six. Their defense can keep them in this game. So I'm gonna take Auburn in this game plus six. Rico. - Over. - Over. - Like the over. Yeah, I heard Brandon saying Auburn's offense caught a little bit of lightning. They seem to be a little rejuvenated. I don't know why we keep re-regurgitating that step. Brandon did say that. You can't say that when they play Mercer. - Yeah, that's a tough sample size to use for that. - I go, I look good against Mercer. - It's fair. Take the over. - Dave. - I'm taking Bama. I mean, excuse me, Auburn. I don't think Alabama's, and great. I think it's a very close game. Even if you told me you have to pick a winner here, I would pick Auburn. - Really? - Yeah, I think I go in the game. - That would obviously open up some spots if Bama went down here. Okay, last game, the big game. Dave, you will be there. How are you feeling about being here? It's obviously in Ann Arbor, so you'll have a King's welcome. Michigan's plus 10, over under 43 and a half. I don't know, is Jeremiah Smith and Carl Tator they definitely playing? - It's definitely playing, I think. - Okay. - 'Cause that's-- - Yeah, they have to be honest with you. I'm sure they're gonna play. I like Michigan. Michigan is definitely getting better, and they had obviously lost Oklahoma, and the game they weren't really in, lost to USC, and the game they really weren't in. But they beat everybody else. They should have beaten. You lose the turnover battle five, nothing versus Northwestern, and still win a game. That's actually a positive. And I think last week was their most complete football game against Maryland, who's not obviously great, but it's the first time they really stepped on somebody's throw. Clearly, they're opening it up more with Underwood, getting ready for this game. Marsh, number four of the wide receiver, the last couple of weeks is coming out of nowhere, so it gives them a nice one-to-punch. And obviously the mental edge is clearly with Michigan. I am seeing, I mean, I saw Titus say it a little bit. You know, there is a bit of Ohio State trying to say the game don't matter, not everybody, but, you know, they're in the playoffs, no matter what, I like Michigan here. Michigan wins this game, they're in the playoffs. It's at Ann Arbor. We've won what, four in a row. So yeah, I'm gonna take Michigan. And I am I like guaranteeing a Michigan win? No, but I think they're gonna win the game. - What, so there's no chance that you're gonna let Tate stream with you. - No, he's to, Tate does it, he's a psychopath, you know? Like, you're certain people that don't like, that you come across, you're like, I don't know that this guy even knows where, like a joke or a line of the saying, he's a true lunatec, so I don't want him in my orbit. Like, I still go back to, unfortunate van when he, he said I was trying to sabotage his life because he knew I had a girlfriend, and like I was trying to break them up, and I still don't know what he was talking about, but he was dead serious. - He will be there, he'll be at the game. He, I mean, his Ohio State fandom cracks me up 'cause he is, it's 365. - Like, you can really root for Tate's without, like, he's somebody, like, I could see burning down someone's house. - But I'm not, but I also could see it happening and being like, yeah, he was justified. - No, Ohio State fans being like, yeah. - Like, if Ryan Day loses, he's not beyond burning down Ryan Day's house. Like, he's capable of anything. So you and Big Ever are gonna be streaming from Ann Arbor. - Yes. - I'm excited to watch that stream. I'm gonna take Michigan as well, plus 10. If you had gun to head, I'd say Ohio State's gonna win this game, but it's just-- - Ohio State fans, the thing is, oh, I know what they're going to do. When we beat them, they're going to say it does not matter. It obviously matters for us because there are playoffs in the line. And I love beating the piss out of them, and they'll never get the sense, like I will never crown them anything. Like, in this rivalry to me, if you really want to be like, we had the banner year, you have to win this game and the championship. You're gonna have a good season. Michigan wins this game. Good season, we're in the playoffs. You beat Ohio State again, it's a good season. To have a Hall of Fame season, I don't care if you're Ohio State or Michigan, you have to beat each other and then close the deal. Much like what we did when we won it. - Rico, I think Michigan's gonna make it a dog fight. I worry again, it's good that they're getting on the wood to air it out a little bit. I think they're gonna need that. You're not gonna be able to ground the pound of Ohio State despite Dave might think you'd be able to. I mean, they're, but we'll see. I like that they're gonna air it out. I think it's gonna be a dog fight. I think it's gonna be close. I like Michigan plus the nine and a half. I think they'll be right in it. Late into the third, into the fourth, and then we're gonna see who makes a point. - We gotta see what saying can do. I've been to this guy. I'm very. press by him. I think he's very good. He hasn't had an ounce of game pressure. And if we can keep this game close, as I keep saying, halftime, third quarter, and he has to make plays, I'm very curious to see what happens. He may be able to make him. He strikes him as a very good quarterback. But I know the guy on the sidelines is going to have a panic attack right now if this game is close. So I love to see it. Let's see if this guy has what it takes to beat Michigan. Yeah, Michigan gets out to any type of lead. It's, I mean, it's, I'm excited for this game. It's going to be fucking awesome. Last year, you couldn't have had a better like story for the rivalry in terms of what I'm saying. Like that. For Ohio States, they have like, they had a hall of fame season. They need to beat us. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, especially with what's happened in the last few years, you have to be Ohio State has to beat Michigan. They can't just keep doing this where it's like, oh, we want to natty, but we keep losing to Michigan. Yes, they, they, and this is Ryan days. This is his issue. He's got to beat Michigan. He's got a Michigan problem. Right. Three hundred sixty, uh, four days a year. Yeah, we, we saw the same thing. When Harboss started at Michigan, he had a Ohio State problem. This is what the rivalry is. It comes down to this game. I'm excited to watch. Yeah. I mean, other than Texas, Grandling State, Ohio, Washington is a good win. Very early in the season. I mean, Michigan smash Washington too. Minnesota, Illinois is good. Wisconsin state pen. We know what they are. Purdue, UCLA Rutgers. Wisconsin's getting better. There's not, there's not, it's not a team. I don't know. It's not two ranked two ranked teams in November. It's just not a murderer's role for Ohio State. It's been a while since they've been in a fist fight. We'll see how they respond. Aconic summer moments deserve an iconic drink.

Yeah, it's the first time in about a month that I like the card. I love the card. Navy plus five and a half at Memphis. Mississippi state plus seven and a half at home against Ole Miss Eggball. Georgia Tech, you said it's 13 and a half, I have 14 and a half, whatever. Georgia Tech against Georgia plus the points and my student have Texas Louisville minus two and a half Kentucky pit plus six and a half against Miami over 15 and a half. Michigan, whatever that line ends up, I had nine and a half. All right, 10. BYU minus 17 and a half against UCF Provo Dave. I actually did the intro to their hype, their hype video last week. Oklahoma minus 10 and a half against LSU. I like weight plus one and a half against Duke, Penn State minus 13 and a half against Rutgers, TCU minus four and a half against Cincinnati. I think since he has done Washington plus six and a half at home against Oregon. I actually think they keep that game tight. Vandy plus the two and a half against Tennessee, Wisconsin, third week in a row. We're going to go with these guys down here. Guys, this brand almost is shocking to me the way it's going right now, but what are they plus and a half? Yeah, against Minnesota. I like them Auburn plus six and a half against Bama, Northwestern plus six and a half against Illinois and North Carolina plus seven and a half against NC state. There it is. Okay, my card real quick. Iowa minus six. Iowa, Nebraska over 38 and a half. Iowa state minus 14 Virginia Texas, sorry minus 24 Virginia minus 10 Washington plus seven against Oregon. I do think that's going to be a tight game, especially after Oregon had, you know, that was a big statement win against USC. Now this is a this is a sneaky like very hated rivalry, Oregon and Washington, Mississippi state plus seven Arizona minus two and a half. Arizona has been playing good ball Wisconsin plus one and a half. How does team in November UNC plus seven and a half pit plus seven and the over 50 and a half USC team total over 40 and a half against UCLA Rico. Navy Memphis over 58 and a half. Jack, I was trying to update them as I go. So anything that's changed. Let me know you top minus 11 and a half. Ole Miss minus the seven. It is now Air Force minus two and a half Colorado states really bad and you're paying a service academy end of the season. I think Air Force they're bad too, but they're going to run all over them triple option. They'll run all over K state minus 16 and a half. It's it's going to be ugly for Deon out there. BYU minus 17 and a half. I think they get some style points against UCF. Kind of saw a state credit to them. Had a great year and minus two and a half against Liberty to Lane minus 30 and a half against Charlotte UNLV minus 8 and a half against Nevada Wake plus one and a half against Duke. Farbershop barbershops. Maybe never never wrong. Just early Texas pit plus the six and a half think they can win the game outright Michigan plus the nine and a half a Vandy and the over and Auburn Alabama over 47 and a half. Okay mortal time. Hank Michigan plus 10. Good good. Zumi Miami pit over 50 and a half. Okay. Fuck that's mine too. I'm going to take North Texas minus 19 and a half. They've just been fucking pasting people as a respect pick. I took their team total over last week. They had they didn't score their first touchdown. It was team total over 38 and a half. They didn't score the first touchdown till there was like 40 seconds left in the first quarter. They ended up scoring 56. That's all they do. Rico. Georgia is 13 and a half. Dave. So it's going to be the Georgia bulldogs minus the 13 and a half. Okay. Dave yours. Michigan. Michigan. It would just be crazy not to we beat them every single year. We're getting 10 points at home teams playing well. Michigan. How much would this bum you out if they lost? A lot bad bad losses. You know, I mean less than the story ends the storyline. No. The playoffs are in the line. So like you know, I want to be in the playoffs. Like we win this game. We're going to the playoffs. So I really, really, really want to win. You're going to have to deal with all these Ohio people. I mean, this is about Michigan more than anything. We got to get to the if we win the game, we get to play. So the playoffs start this weekend for us. So it would really bum me out if we lost. Okay. What you're holding Michigan as a future as well. Dave. Where you not? I don't know what I did with them. I think I already lost. Like, I don't think I did them alone. I think I was doing like Caitlin Clark Celtics with the world series Celtics, Patriots. I did something with the playoffs. I don't I got to look. I actually don't know. What are you holding, Dan? Uh, Texas Tech 60 to one. And Jeremiah love 25 to one. That's a great pick. That's my portfolio. I need Texas Tech to get that by because I do think that they're if they can get into a final four game. I would I would potentially head just because I don't know if they can win it all, but they would I think they can't I think they're I think they're I think they're defense is awesome. They're defense is awesome. I know that yeah, if they you're you want to what are they slated for right now? You think the home game, the home game or they're in the five, but I don't know what the committee will do. I I feel like the loser of Indiana, Ohio State would maybe drop to the five. People are saying that's crazy, but I don't know. Penn's other game goes. Yeah, yeah, it's very close. I know they depend on the bowls, but a Texas Tech home game at night that get that. Oh, eight games still like at night. Texas Tech's going to be dialed up. Uh, I got Oregon at 25 to one. I just grabbed Georgia at 10 to one last night. Okay. I don't think you're you're they're never going to be a 10 to one dog. I think they're very, very live here. I like my spot. I don't hate that pick. Georgia's looks really good. Okay, boys. Happy Thanksgiving. Good show. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone next week. Yeah. Black Friday, sale 20% off all weekend. We got some great stuff. There we go. Let's go. Here's quick exit, huh?
