You share your bet slip on there. They can follow you right now. Yeah. I'm going to share my bet slip. But I'm telling you that first one that I got put in there. Yes, Josh Pate. That means you all win together, right? Always. Oh. Does that also mean you lose together? That's a great question, Josh Pate. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever played cards before? Yeah. With Meemaw. Okay. You played cards with Meemaw. We've played craps. We've done baccarat. We've done blackjack. We've all been at a blackjack table before where we sit there and there's five people and Will wins. You win. I lose. Klomp lose. And then it's kind of like this awkward, like, oh, man. Yeah, it's good for them, but I wish I would have won something. This is essentially baccarat. This is craps where we can sit there, have a vibe, hang out, and we win and lose together. We're doing it responsibly, so at the end of the day, we walk away with great box. So what is there to lose? You felt that. I needed that. I just wanted you to feel it. But it's also a little bit against the baccarat, because to me, it'll be faders that are following me. It's like, oh, Willie C's got a profile. Right. I'm going to go find him. It's time to go win. So mine's more of a community. Yours is more of a war. A war that takes place on a daily basis. Yeah, because I'm down. This Ford Leaderboard segment is brought to you by Ford. A hard day's work happens when there's something. There's someone willing to do it. And where there's a will, there's a Ford F1 Series truck. Let's get into the segment. Let's take a look at that. Let's look at the Ford Leaderboard real quick. It seems like Josh Bate had the biggest weekend. Had an eight-unit weekend. Round of applause for Josh Bate. And the tale of two cities. Will had a negative nine-unit weekend. All good. We'll still golf clap that. We'll golf clap that. The live studio audience is not into it as much. Dude, it's early in the season. There's nothing really to worry about just yet. just yet. I was saying before, maybe take a bigger swing at those parlets. no he says he's one weekend away he's gonna nickel and dime he's one weekend you're running the football we got to respond he's mississippi state he's down 16-0 he's not panicking we lost the weekend you were nasty don't wink at me after you said that i was you know who's sitting in this audience someone threw you i want you to deliver the wink because you know i can't look him in the eye and do that i love him too much that's what we're doing hey jp i want you to know how josh pay acts on this show has nothing to do with your nice relationship and i'm sorry that happened to you who is josh p exactly that's blood money he won this last week gp we've moved on we've moved on we lost the weekend texas a m lost yeah i think they packed it up and two years ago notre dame lost to northern illinois made it to the playoffs if you got a competitive bone in your body the boys we've moved on man we're going to the next weekend we're not going to sit here piss and moan about it yeah we lost the week the problem is you still got 75 percent left of the season yeah uh josh payne went in like michael myers because spooktopers right around and stabbed jp in the back week one or last week this week he could take multiple bodies with him based on how he picks this one of the games on the slate in fairness he did say he helped south carolina won by three points in fairness that was nothing i know it means nothing to you i'm just you know but i guess in retrospect you would far prefer that to what actually happened no man i prefer reality we needed this there's a reason for this loss i want you to look me in the eye and tell me you would rather have lost last weekend than one i want you to say that again for everyone i'll live in the past man of course i wish beamer's press conference you don't have to recite the transcript of his press conference i saw it i want to know how you feel i mean i want to win every week and this week is alabama last week doesn't do anything for me fair enough you're right this week last week and i would have won by three we had uh darius rucker on the show i saw that dolphin you dolphin dolphin shirt yeah dolphin shirt bigger south carolina fan and he speaks the all of nation operates the way jp does he is a voice of the nation yeah it's insane to see it's a big one this week we got pate versus huge one first jp this is like a little bus and bowl is it over feel huh is it over between i thought it was i thought we were done josh and jp the feud is over their teams are going at it this well i just heard that you guys have moved on yeah we will i moved on from being down nine units yeah that's a fart in the wind yeah absolutely you take the rear view mirror off your car when you drive around this week yeah hey you don't look behind i got a question how about your boy uh joey mcguire he's gonna have that pressure and i kind of didn't know how to read it for a second i'm like i didn't see the pressure i think it's all love i guess but it didn't feel like i guess did he mention you by name i just put positivity out into the world and then this is what gets returned to me yeah he mentioned me by name i was a little aggressive i'm sorry you didn't do anything at all yes he mentioned me by name i picked houston to cover yeah i picked texas tech to win it plays out precisely as i predicted i feel good friday night i'm going to bed we've got a big day saturday i wake up first off joey has texted me amongst several others his text is just verbatim what he said at his press conference everyone else is did you see joey's press conference so i'm like i don't have contact lenses in yet i pull up the texas tech press conference boom calls me out keep picking against us he's my buddy and all keep picking against us keep it up pete and they're rich eyes and clip that and send it to me as a text tone for when joey texts me from now on oh no i don't even know what am i supposed to do i said they don't look like they've looked so far through three games that they look like last year i'm right i think yeah i said the big 12 is fairly wide open i'm right i think we're third of the way quarter of the way through the season just a quarter so um yeah it's just it's not icy it's just frosty you've always said you'd rather be right than make friends and it seems like you're doing that yeah maybe i need to go the route of i think i'd just rather lose i'd rather lose than win maybe i need to go that route there you go it's a good route it's a fun route it's a fun route a lot of faders a lot of fantasy community uh a couple callbacks this is where i kind of bow out because my eyes are terrible you guys are gonna have to read these i got that there's no way anybody can read that aaron waltz 72 25 william b compton guineas linkedin headshot taken today got me ready to draft an executive summary i don't know what that i don't know he was wearing the nebraska polo last week okay don't apologize for looking good yeah don't ever apologize you're a professional he clearly whiffed you know what i mean yeah and it's all he had to do on the show usually whiffs just don't make it to the show that one his girlfriend's sitting next to him watching right now she's like i don't know if that went and he laughed and showed her she was like oh yeah no no the boys like me the boys the boys are just having fun they just don't laugh a lot they're always like that can you actually read that from this far away uh yeah hot menudo oh hot menudo oh hot menudo oh that's not on you that's not on the thing right such a fun show to throw on while getting errands done or knocking out a workout taylor does his homework which i respect will is the vibes guy and josh feels like josh feels like that brad pitt scene in oceans 11 where he's teaching the actors at the table how to play poker it started so nice it started so nice he's great that's good no no it's for me yeah i mean anybody that references you to brad pitt it's like yeah you'll take you out away with it i'll take it perfect no problem josh makes everything sound very good he does yeah he speaks and i am made that auburn under sound great last week and there we are with the winner in the mid 40s yeah i feel the same way about mississippi state minnesota a couple weeks ago but also like uh if you're telling me florida's gonna run the ball over 50 times and they're gonna have 16 penalties that feels like an under game and this you have jayden baugh and jayden baugh is the best back in college football right now really it was only two carries that popped really he had another touchdown a 60-yard touchdown that got called back via another penalty oh so that one is the most he has the most broken tackles in all of college football and he's playing against the team this year this year has the most missed tackles what i'm hearing is i was basically right what you're hearing is you were wrong but there's stats and i i'm starting to feel like stats lie all the time and the kids and coaches screw up all the time that's fair it's going to happen again this year is it looks that way do we want to get into the game should we start talking a little bit of ball let's talk it's loaded the first one i'm looking at here is texas at tennessee this is where busting and paint on campus will be from two to three eastern on friday before this game this is where the don't tread on me don't tread on saturdays don't do it i think we move away from this one i think we hold this one don't start with that one let's go to oklahoma georgia georgia's favored by 13.5 points the total in that game is 48 and a half where are we sitting boys how are we feeling pass so last night we were breaking this game down on my show and i had jessie click on the more wagers part here because i wanted to know what oklahoma's team total was and last night i believe it was at 14 and a half and i'm asking myself self how does oklahoma score 16 points because that's essentially what we're saying they're going to get to here if they hit the over and this is kind of like when oklahoma played michigan a couple of weeks ago the first half total is still 14 and a half the first half total was over under 21 and a half which i thought was insane so like my favorite bet on the game was the first half under i think my favorite bet on this game is probably oklahoma team total under 14 and a half and just like take all the nonsense out of it but that's not how we roll on the show so but you kind of just got your bed out there for people well i did are you going to bet the bet you just said that we're not going to roll that way on the show one i already bet it okay so it's already back as soon as i got off the show last night i bet it yeah that was had to get done right yeah i just have no confidence there are two teams going on the road this week in the sec one of them we'll get to later one of them we're on right now that it doesn't really take a whole lot of analysis i don't really know how you dive deep in the x's and those right now oklahoma's bad uh there are several instances of returning quarterbacks in the sec that seem like they've regressed they didn't even stay the same nope nope nope i didn't mention anybody by now hurt so bad i didn't mention anybody you didn't i may have given an accurate scouting report which led you to believe i was talking about someone yeah but i didn't mention anyone by now except for john matier well look i was all in on john matier so you were you you you loved him and and he's screwed up so far this year so far and so because of him i look bad which is not fair to me no but i got to wear it so i'm going to take georgia minus 13 and a half i'm going to take two units on that and i think georgia could probably handle that by scoring 24 just to be safe get 24 on so you are fully off john matier yeah our buckle you're done with it i don't even know if it's been our buckle maybe it is i i i lean that it's when i'm watching their film i'm starting to lean a little bit more our buckle than i am matier now material like accuracy issues they're very much there but even against new mexico last week i clipped through dude every third down twice and they just line up and run a play yeah there's no motion there's not anything to try and get your guy who is a little inaccurate but do anything to schematically get somebody open because they're blocking for them it's not like the o-line's that bad they hold up for them most of the time um when i'm looking at this game it's not you know obviously they have a lot of issues on offense but defensively like this will be the first front that georgia plays where somebody can hold the point of attack we can stack yeah we can stack the line of scrimmage and stop the line you can rush the passer they're successful on third down i think this is going to be a big like second and long third and medium game I trust Gunnar Stockton way more. But again, Oklahoma's defense will be able to get Gunnar to operate in a phone booth a lot of the times, versus getting out there and beating them on the perimeter. I like the under in this game, 44-and-a-half. Because if Oklahoma does cover, then that means their defense is going to be playing out of their mind. They're still probably going to, you know, whether it's 14 points, 17 points, 21 points. It's a low-scoring game for me. So I'm going to take the under. I'm going to go total on this game. I like Georgia. Georgia is a buzzsaw. Yeah. They can, they, I mean, they run through your face. Gunnar Stockton, they are, what, 66% on third down. They stay ahead of schedule. Their defense is good. And they'll look damn good against Oklahoma's offense. Yeah, but the thing that worries me is they haven't really played anybody to the point where they're an SEC play last week, and they're doing defensive line drills in the fourth quarter during TV timeouts. They didn't even do it for show either. Like, they didn't make a big deal about it. Someone happened to bring it up, so Kirby had to acknowledge it. Otherwise, that would have just been them going about their business. Kirby goes, listen, if you're going to do that, you have to talk to the D-line coach. Like, they just feel. They just feel like they're not getting enough work. And that is one of the more disrespectful things that have ever been said that wasn't even intentional about being disrespectful. I agree. I think Gunnar Stockton, like, you put on the Arkansas game, he just, he looks like he's playing the game, and everyone just seems a lot slower than him. He's able to see the defense well. If he knows pressure's going to get to him at a certain point, he gets out, and it seems like he jogs for 30, 40 yards. But on the back end of the defense, there's a lot of missed opportunities that Arkansas had. And I'm not saying Arkansas could have been in that game, because the talent is just, there's such a big differential there. But there's a lot of things to be had. And the thing that made Oklahoma successful last year were the X-plays that John McTeer was able to have with deep shots down the field, Satania, and him running around. I think they need to be more creative pre-snap, like you were just saying. They need to have more motions. They need to kind of see a better picture pre-snap before they can kind of dissect everything else. But I would go back to, and this is kind of weird, but I would go back to more of a backyard-style football. And McTeer, give them one or two reads, and if it's not there, go make it. Go make it. Make something happen with your legs. Because when you make it happen with your legs, you can gain yardage that way, or there can be breaks that happen in the back end of the defense, where Satania has been extremely successful. I think at the end of the day, it comes down to this defense. And this defense is incredible. I think they are going to be able to rush the passer. I'm a huge fan of Georgia's offensive line from a run-blocking standpoint. Speed is not their friend on the edges when it comes to getting, like, being able to play in space, play a little bit of basketball in a pass-rush situation. I think Georgia will win this game. But this is. This is, like, a true AGAP scenario where Venables, on Monday, does his press conference. And he probably got asked four questions, and the whole press conference is 32 minutes. Like, he is breaking down everything. To Stone, he was hurt. He got his knee banged up in a walkthrough. He's going to be just fine. Yeah, Kip Lewis, he's out. But Cole Sullivan, he's going to be in. This is what he does well. Like, he is breaking down, essentially, the entire game plan. Because you can see the frustration and the culture that he's trying to instill in these guys. I think as dead as John Mateer seems, I think he's got a little bit of fight left in him. I don't think he's going to go out like this. He was in my AGAP last week. He is more than ever in the AGAP. I can see them holding on to plus 13 and a half here. So I'll take Oklahoma to cover. And I'm going to put two on that. What did you go with? Oh, I'll go three. Three on the under. Yeah. Three on the under, right? Three on the under. Because this game, it's not going to be fun to watch. And we thought it was going to be a premier game. Yeah. We thought it was going to be a premier game. We thought this would be where everybody was headed. Dude, I'm actually excited to see this game. Because Georgia, you're kind of talking about them on the edge too at tackle. How many of those situations will they be in throughout the game? Because, dude, they can run the ball. Like Nate Frazier is a pissed off running back. Nate Frazier is so fun to watch because you don't even need to see the number. You just see the burst when he decides where he's going to go. And you're like, oh, that's an NFL running back. Yeah. He is incredible. My opinion about Georgia is the exact same as it was before we started the year. You got them, what, missing the playoffs? I know. They're going to be in the SEC championship. They're going to go to the playoffs. I just still have not seen the perimeter. But who was your SEC championship when we did the futures? Was it like LSU and Texas? LSU-Georgia, wasn't it? It was LSU-Georgia, yeah. Oh, you had Georgia in there. Yeah, it's still the same to me. So what you're saying tracks historically. Like this is the spot. When you have a prideful program, not an upstart that's just disappointing, but like a program. I'm with the Gravitas of Oklahoma. Gravitas? Gravitas. What does that mean? I don't know. We'll Google it later, but let them cook. It's kind of like Michigan. If Michigan is down going into week two this year, Michigan's down. Everyone thinks they're dead in the water. How are they going to function offensively? There's like a certain pride factor about those kinds of programs where they don't let it go that easy. They may not end up winning as many games as you thought they would, but when their back's against the wall and when they're in wounded animals, they're in animal mode, they usually deliver above and beyond expectation. So it was Oklahoma that suffered that at the hands of Michigan in week two. That's the exact spot Oklahoma's in right now. They're not coming off a loss, but they're coming off a really uninspired effort against New Mexico. They're coming off a loss before that against Michigan. Their own people have sold. Their own people are looking and saying, there's nothing to this offense. It's dead in the water. And you are, you, I actually think you may have talked me into Oklahoma Plus. Really? I actually think I want to, very, very slightly go across zero. So go across the river and go Oklahoma Plus 13 and a half for one unit. Not to win the game. Super ugly game. Ugly. I do think that there's a lot to be said for lack of explosivity on the perimeter for Georgia. So lack of game-breaking potential to where if Oklahoma's defense can force even one short field and they can cash in even once, we've seen their special teams all year like their special teams can pin you deep. They've done it all year. I think it could be enough to keep it within the margin. So I'll go. - They played the same game too with Michigan-Oklahoma where they were just kind of backed up the whole time because they were kind of, Michigan was kind of just control in the middle of the field. - And came down to turnovers. - The other thing that you mentioned was, okay, so if John Mateer's current modus operandi is not working, why don't you just, yeah, just take him to the playground. - Holy, you took that call back and you're now ripping it. You're turning it up a notch. - He took that Brad Pitt comment to heart. - Yeah, exactly. - He's teaching us how to play some poker right now. - Why don't you do what Texas did with Arch in the second half of the Ohio State game? When all else fails, just let him play the way he did in high school. There's a lot of risk to that, but the whole context here is you're already down. You already have sort of nothing to lose. And that's his wheelhouse. He stops thinking. And maybe, just maybe, you end up in a position where you score 17, you're just completely bogged down. They can't move the ball on you. Maybe you're plus one turnovers. Maybe your special teams came through for you. You actually got a shot to pull it out Saturday. - The thing that sent me over on this one was the Oklahoma offensive line being as injured as they are, but putting on Georgia's defensive line when they just rushed four, when they had just their D lineman, they're still not getting there. They had to bring pressure every time. - But when they're bringing pressure, they're in Buddy's face. - Their linebackers are incredible, no doubt. - One-coast front seven got after Oklahoma's run game. - But I think people need to respect New Mexico a little bit. - Yeah, but I'm with you, I agree. But Georgia and New Mexico? - I'm with you. - Both beautiful states. - Both beautiful, yeah. - I don't know about New Mexico. - And I was laughing earlier too. You're like, look at the playbook for Arch Manning in the second half of Ohio State. You got to put John Mateer in those backyard situations. And all that's going through my head is you got to put him in fourth and six and fourth and nine. - That's exactly what you got to do. - Let him go. - Give him some, got to have it or it's all over. - You're getting fourth and nine, use them in on our buckling. - Hey, this is where we are. - How do we feel about Oklahoma State at Western Michigan? Or sorry, West Virginia. Still, that game is still in my brain to this point. We're up this episode to bring you Neutral. Neutral tastes great. So much better than anything else I've ever tried.

And now you can enjoy them with the kick of Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch, the tortilla chip coated nuggets on their own. The crispy chicken crunch wrap slider, a brand new classic is back. Only at Taco Bell. It's basically a pick them. West Virginia is minus one and a half total points in the game. Fifty nine and a half. West Virginia coming off a massive win versus Georgia. They were eight and a half point dogs. Rich Rodriguez. Are they back? They might be back. Rich Rodriguez recruited me to Michigan. Do you know that? I do know. I do it now. Yeah. Tempo. Speed. Tempo. Go. Can they? Do they have the horses? Can Hawkins be a superhero over and over and over again? That little slot. So you played for Rich. What is your feel of this entire tempo zone read? Like, I think it's good. Like a flash in the pan. Good. Wow. But for it to work like I'm just not a believer. I think for if you're in West Virginia, you're in the Big 12. I think it's the perfect type of offense with it. If you have the athlete, you do. And there's Hawkins kid. That is extremely elusive. He's like a like a Trinidad in a lot of ways where there's multiple guys there and he can still get away from from rushers. And he has a he's not as good as Trinidad. Big 12 Chambliss. I was going to say the arm of Trinidad. He don't. Hawkins don't have this. But he has. He's very elusive in that sense where it's like it takes multiple guys to bring him down. He's one guy out in open space is not going to be able to tackle him. That's where the tricky stuff of Rich Rodriguez and the pace where they're going faster than anybody else. That's where they gain their edge. Now, the bad part is, is when you don't, from an offensive standpoint, are able to move the ball and score quickly, you're putting your defense in a really bad spot because they're on the field way more. That's kind of where I sit. But this quarterback from Oklahoma State, I love I know the first game. It is what it is. I think, you know, you bundle up, you throw it out the window. But this kid can run. He can throw a beautiful football. He makes great decisions. He diced up a team that I picked to win the national championship this year. I love West Virginia. I like their running back. But it really comes down to a mess to make her. And I think he I think he's the difference maker in this game. And I'm taking them. I'll go three units, Oklahoma State Moneyline. And yeah, I love it. I like I like the pokes big time here. I think their offensive line is extremely physical. I think their defensive line is a bunch of fourth and fifth year guys that get after the quarterback that took Oregon's offensive line and handled business there. And if they can corral this young Hawkins cat, I think. I think it's going to be a good one for them. Him. It's like him. It's him or Cam Cole. Like if you can just get lined up as fast as possible, read your keys because it's all inverted veer option run game. I'm going to Oklahoma State too, like Drew Mestemaker, Justin Bowick, six, five, six, five. What? Two hundred and ten pounds. Yeah, he's he's essentially he's like he's got some Josh Allen to him the way he plays the game. Oh, yeah. Same number of same. Even the the number of font is the exact same as they have at Wyoming. So him with that, what, 70 yard run or 60 something yard run in the first play game against Oregon. Like he's nice. Yeah. And maybe what do you laugh about? Finish, finish. Let's go and finish. I'm just picked up on something here. Maybe I'm sleeping on West Virginia. Maybe I'm sleeping on West Virginia, but I got I'll go confidence meter three and I'll go Oklahoma State Moneyline as well. You know what network this is on? Does anyone know by chance? It's like an FS1 game. Is this thing on the CW? Bocho? Yeah, I know you don't mean that as a nasty remark because they're good people work at CW. One Tree Hill Smallville, buddy. First time I ever got on TV. My show was on the CW locally, of course. Hey, that is a FS1 game. Don't watch that, Papa. I didn't feel that. I didn't feel that. This game's on FS1. Anyway, the reason I ask is because can you imagine telling the executives at Fox that you're going to have basically Trinidad Chambliss versus Josh Allen on FS1 in week four? Can you imagine the parade they would have thrown? People want to laugh, dude. Where did Trinidad Chambliss come from? Ferris State. Exactly. No one was talking about him. And then where did Josh Allen come from? Wyoming. Exactly. So we got two schools that no one really thinks about. Yet we're making comparisons and we're laughing about it. These guys are elite, elite athletes rolling around here. Mostly MasterMaker. I can get with you on the West Virginia comment. I can get with you. He's elusive. Hawkins has got a couple of weeks before he's Trinidad Chambliss. Couple. Yeah. You actually may be right about MasterMaker. Yeah. MasterMaker is nice, dude. Why not just go over? I'll do the Moneyline plus the over. Is that legal? Can I do that? Is that legal? Can I do that? There's no rule book. You're trying to look for a rule book. We kind of let go crazy. It's up to you guys. You three can collectively decide if you want to get crazy. Let me ask you this. Are you about to slap the table and say over? Because that'll definitely change me. No, not yet. Okay. Are you going to go Oklahoma State? When I say not yet, I literally may change my mind in 30 seconds. Well, yeah, it seems like that's you kind of just walk. We entered that Florida Auburn preview last week. I had no intention of slapping the table for the over and then it just happened. Yeah. Or the under. It just happened. I know I'm on the same side as both of you. So I'm Oklahoma State, like three units, Oklahoma State Moneyline for three units. Oh, all of us across the board. I don't like it. I love it. I don't like last time they went on the road. They got beat outright by Tulsa. I love it. I love it. Okay. All right. What'd you go for Oklahoma? Three units. Plus the points. Okay. No. Oh, yeah. So totals. We're just going to keep them solo bets here. You did two for might as well. Okay. I'll do three. I'll just keep us all at three. Maybe the double. Yeah. Double positive mixing. West Virginia fans probably screaming at us right now. Rich Rodriguez. We're sleeping on Cole and Hawkins. Part of his first recruiting class. He used to yell at me all the time about how slow I get in my stance. Way to get relationship. I miss him every day. Good man. Still alive. Where are you at in his favor? You think? Of like favor of like favorite players. Yeah. You go out there, you guys hug and it's like, oh my God, I've missed you. I think there'd be a bit, there's really two thoughts. One would be big hug. Good to see ya. Or maybe that takes him a second to recognize me and remember me. Cause I don't think, yeah. How long were you guys together? Uh, my red shirt year. And then my red shirt freshman year, but like Rich Rodriguez, like when, when he was coming from West Virginia to Michigan, he was the biggest name. It was like, it was a massive deal. Came over, we had the spread offense. Lloyd Carr just finished up and like, Michigan's now transitioning from like this under center power NFL style offense to we're going to open it up and run all over the place. Rich Rodriguez did not get a good night's sleep the entire time he was at Michigan. The minute we lost the game, it was, they hated him. He got tore up. So I don't think he looks back at his time at Michigan very fondly, as do Michigan fans. Yeah, bringing the spread, tempo. So maybe he just wiped me from his brain. In 2000, when was that, 2009? 2009 and 2010. Yeah, can't be doing that. Can't be, you can't do that. You gotta get on their center a little bit. Yeah, you need to. Nobody else is gonna get rid of him? You need two backs in the backfield. That shit pisses me off. Oh yeah. I hate the clap cadence. I hate it. So yeah, Gruden hates that shit too. I know, it pisses him off. That's my king, so I follow my king. Dude, let's go Ole Miss at Florida. This is a. This is a fascinating game. This is shocking. Florida is favored by three and a half. The over under, the total in this game is 58 and a half. Ole Miss, I mean, as good a resume as anybody in the country right now, and they're underdogs on the road after beating LSU. Over a field goal underdog. Yeah. Are the Gators for real, for real? Is there a glitch in FanDuel's software? I'm glad you asked. I called him yesterday. Did you? This is not a joke. I called FanDuel yesterday. We got FanDuel Mike on the phone because I know what's happening here. Obviously, in normal circumstances on a neutral field, they would have Ole Miss favored. They think Ole Miss is better than Florida in a normal circumstance. But since this is not a neutral field and since it's in Gainesville, they would have to tack on three for Florida. But even then, you would look at that and say, okay, but if I subtract three off of this, that still implies Florida is a slight favorite on a neutral field. So I called FanDuel. I said, all right, in addition to all the normal stuff, how many additional points have you baked in here for like a special one-off, super letdown moment? Because this is like a special circumstance type of point spread. Everyone understands that. He said three whole points for the Lane Kiffin. We just beat him. It's a letdown spot. We're on the road. We're against an upstart team. Three additional points have been baked in. Is it too many is the question that you have to be asking yourself. How much do you think the letdown really matters? Because all it takes is Trinidad Chambliss gets them up 14-0, all that's wiped out. All the letdown stuff's wiped out. Or conversely, you guys watched Florida Auburn last week. You saw Florida get after Auburn physically. So like my concern in a letdown spot, normally in college football especially, is not whether guys will be focused the next Saturday. It's did you go through something so emotionally and physically taxing the previous Saturday that you let your foot off the gas from a preparation standpoint to where if you play a physical opponent the next week, you can't match their physicality 'cause that's when you get buried. Florida is the kind of team that can do that. The Swamp is the kind of environment that can do that. This is the first ranked versus ranked game there since 2022, by the way. That was Will Levis in Kentucky of all. - Mm-hmm. - That was Will Levis in Kentucky of all. - Shout out, players and teams. - Shout out, Will Levis. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It's Jack's team. - So I'll tell you where my mind's at on this. - Yeah. - Well, that thing came down to 58 and a half. - What's crazy too is you know the majority of the public is on Ole Miss. - Do you think they are? - I think so. - I think they will be too, actually, I think you're right. - You think the public what? - The majority of the public is on like money is on Ole Miss. - It's kind of hard after what we saw last week to not believe that Ole Miss is a contending team. - So let me ask you a question. - Do we walk away in Florida, we walk away from the Florida-Auburn game and think, okay, that's a national contending team? - I'm about to fade the whole board, so go ahead. - Well, I walked away from Florida-Auburn saying, they just sacked Byron Brown seven times tonight. There's no way that that carries over. Trinidad Chambliss is as good as any quarterback in America at avoiding sacks. - Almost as good as Hawkins from Western Jackson. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Basically tit for tat. - Yeah, the same guy. - Different conferences, that's why. - Yeah, I'm just ahead of the curve. - Yeah, there you go. So, Byron Brown, Trinidad Chambliss, safe to say two different players. Safe to say. So I don't think Florida's getting after Trinidad Chambliss and getting him to the ground nearly to the degree they did last week. But on the flip side, Byron Brown had two something through the air. He had a fair amount of success throwing the ball in Florida. Florida's secondary is low-key still really suspect. And so Trinidad Chambliss could have a field day there. I really wanna know if Kiwan Lacy's going in this game. 'Cause to me, that's not the end of the world if he doesn't, but that changes things pretty drastically. But I'm asking myself, how many points, if Florida wins this game, how many points do you think it will have required them to score? 'Cause I think the minimum's like 38. If you press Trinidad Chambliss for four quarters, if it gets into the type of deep end, four quarter, Ole Miss is trailing, and they're empty in the chamber, to me, they're scoring 35, at least in that scenario. To me, you gotta have 38, at least, if you're Florida. So I keep running through all that in my head, and I'm like, let's see, Ole Miss already had 38 hung on 'em against Louisville in week one. So I've seen teams score. I like what Philo and Buster Faulkner are doing right now. I love the yard after catch ability, not to mention just the flat-out receiver ability that they have. So there's a lot to like offensively about both sides. And then I see a total in the upper 50s. And I'm like, don't overthink the room. Just slap the table for the over. - All right. - At 58 and a half. - Kind of a casual slap. - Under 58 and a half. That's my favorite play of the week. It's my favorite play of the week. - After Josh just said all the things. - I just said I'm fading the entire board, so Josh, go ahead. - 'Cause he's right. Like the wide receivers are Florida elite, offensive line plays well. - Singleton, I think Singleton's coming back. - Yeah, Singleton, yeah, that's fine. - Oh, and now you mean another offensive weapon's coming back? Love the under. - Love the under. - I love the under. - So why, hey, can you please explain to me? Like it's just a massive letdown spot overall. Like Florida running the ball 50 plus times, a very physical game against Auburn. I think it takes, it's gonna have some sort of toll because as much of an emotional win that Ole Miss had against LSU, I feel like Florida's gotta be in it. Not like in the same sphere, but a similar situation to where this is, to me, it's gonna be bad. We're gonna see a bad first half. I like the under here. I just like the under. I'm fading all of it. - So let me just, your logic is that both teams had emotional games. Both of their game plays are gonna go down. - Correct. - That's your logic. - Correct. - But wouldn't a similar logic be to that if Ole Miss is here from a talent standpoint and Florida's here from a talent standpoint and they both just do this, the points will still go because the defense on the Ole Miss side plays a little slower, but so does, it's kind of the same game just at a slower speed. Instead of being at 10, you turn to nine for both teams. - We'll see what happens. - There's no, okay, there's no response to that. - It makes sense in my brain. - Yeah. - That's all that matters. - That makes sense. I wanna give a lot of respect to Florida's defensive line. Like I kind of sat here last week before the game and I was like, they seem like Velcro in a lot of ways with the offensive line, like when they go against the offensive line, they don't get a lot of pressure. - What's his heritage? - African. - So, to Will's comment, they got their African back, number 99, incredible ball player. - Bustin' with the boys. Bustin' with the boys. They got that African back. - We have fun here. Nothing like three white guys in a studio saying they got their African back. - I mean, he is a dog. For Ole Miss, like it was a lot of the question marks for me was like, who's gonna step up outside of Deuce Alexander and Caleb Odom and a handful of other guys did in that game. Trinidad just strikes me as a guy that never gets too high, never gets too low. He handled it the entire week that way. He seemed that way during the game, poised with LSU. He seemed that way after the game as well. He won Lacey. Being out is like a worry for a second, but then you realize that just means Trinidad's gonna have the ball in his hand more. So is that actually a fear or have they become more dangerous that way? And then there's a secondary for Florida. So all the things you said, I lean heavily on Ole Miss plus three and a half. I have a lot of respect for Florida and what they were able to do 'cause the box score didn't say the same, didn't say what the game actually was against Auburn. I think they handled that game, but I'll go five on 58 and a half. I'll do the over as well. - We're going over. - We're going over. - We got five points of confidence across the board. - Across the board in opposite directions. - A 15 unit showdown. - I don't think we've ever had. - This is beautiful. This is how Wilcompton gets back. - That is exactly right. This is the path you need. This is what you need to happen. - Who needs parlays when you're just going into the woods? - I'm just telling y'all boys, this is gonna be under. I'm just telling y'all boys and I'm trying. - The thing about the Ole Miss plus three and a half too, it's like, that feels like, if you didn't watch any of the games this weekend, like that's clearly the move right there. - Yeah, but see, you would have talked to yourself. This is where you gotta be so dialed in week to week 'cause you could easily envision yourself over the summer saying, all right, let's see, Ole Miss plays LSU week three. Dude, if Ole Miss wins that, I'm auto fading them in week four when they go to Florida. But that's in the summer. When you get into the weeds, when the live bullets are flying, when there's noise all over the place, you gotta think in the moment. 'Cause I would have said that. I would have said, they're gonna play Florida the week after? They're gonna play LSU? If they win that game, I don't care what the number is. I'm gonna auto fade. There it is. And I'm not auto fading. I'm instead gonna-- - Staring you right in the face. - I'm instead gonna guess that it's gonna be like, 26 to 20 at halftime, and I'm just gonna take the over. - It's gonna be like 13-10 at halftime. - Still may go over. Still may go over. - That is a scary part. We see a sloppy first half. - We need to agree to this now. Actually, the three of us. So this is clearly gonna be the difference in the leaderboard this week. So I feel like this game's gonna drastically go one way or the other. Either it's gonna be an easy under or an easy over. We just need to decide now who initiates the group text at the end of this. - I think it has to be Will, right? - Yeah, I think so, too. - Yeah. - Win or lose. - And it'll be, I tried to tell y'all. - Send that text no matter what. - Yes. - No matter what. that's the like i kind of hope it works out for you but that's one of the crazier bets i've seen yeah like i just want i wish like no matter what it's going to be so obvious you know what i mean i'm in the whole 15 units no even if the under hits it's like it wasn't it wasn't obvious that that was like but then i'll be able to show you josh paint big words like that you you like it have to be so like what if john what if john summerall's at the podium post game and uh the florida offense is totally bogged down and they get beat like 31 13 and he says you know what killed us today is getting eric singleton back will compton was right will compton was right we didn't know what to do with the weapons we had no idea what to do and then the argument of they're getting a weapon back in the middle of fighting for the under no smile and i tried to tell and i said before i even before i even said i'm taking the under i'm fading the entire board this week you faded yourself you faded your own argument i know under why they're getting singleton back big letdown spot both teams big letdown spot i kind of want to go to the gravely game if florida is just going to run the ball 60 times just just watch watch just a fun there's just a fun note there's levels to this just a fun note on this game it's just the third time since 1995 that a top five team is a dog versus a non-top 20 team 2015 number three utah was a three and a half point dog versus usc lost 42 to 24. 2021 number three oregon was a three-point dog uh at utah lost 38-7 under that's good yeah oh yeah do we want to do the gravely game of the week or do we want to just pull the band-aid off on this texas tennessee game let me see the gravely game of the week that's oregon usc gravely game of the week yeah gravely game of the week buy a lawnmower your pick josh pate's pick let's go with oregon usc okay let's go gravely game of the week buy a lawnmower buy a lawnmower buy a lawnmower this is a must win for both coaches oh buddy it's go time it is hey we gotta go both sides yes i've been called the speeches are the same i kind of need a call i should call eckler tap in you guys are on speaking terms me neck yeah yeah absolutely did i know you make a terrible decision yes but i still love him no matter what because the huskers are rolling we are rolling you are but yeah michigan state we're rolling okay usc and oregon that game oregon is favored by three and a half points total in that game is 61 and a half have you watched have you watched what the line's done in this game pre-season yes pre-season oregon minus six and a half two weeks ago usc minus one and a half two weeks ago usc minus one and a half two weeks ago usc minus one and a half this week oregon back to three and a half what does it mean which quarterback would you rather have from what you've seen this year i agree with you my ava don't think you would have been saying that a month ago would you have guessed you would be saying that a month ago no i mean i'd lean dante more but still like my ava ball last year and he is like he is he's got the heisman numbers right now to be in the one slot you scared of turnovers no they've always been an issue in the bigger games for him and i've always you know watching college football for a long time you learn that's always there if a guy's prone to it early he's usually prone to it throughout his career but that doesn't mean it's going to pop up in every game so like that's what i'm trying to figure out here if if i were to know usc's just going to be even turnovers i feel really comfortable taking usc because there's not a lot to like watching oregon right now and i there's so much to be disappointed about i'm not shocked the offensive line's been disappointing because if they had a question coming into the year that was it yeah but that defensive line that set of personnel was supposed to be one of the best in the country and they haven't gotten after anyone they couldn't even get after portland state last week the score was 84 to nothing but if you watched the individual line play they didn't really like wage some all-out assault against oregon against portland state maybe they took it easy on them they didn't take it easy on oklahoma state and they couldn't get after them uh they've got injury at receiver dante moore has been a shell of himself since that indiana game last year to me and still had a lot to prove in the indiana game so it's not like he was a superstar it's there's a lot of potential there's like a lot of hype and potential with dante moore the duty of the game is to prove that dante moore is a good guy he's a good guy the dude is yet to blow it up in a big game i think his biggest win correct me if i'm wrong here because i could be just blatantly forgetting a game i thought when they went on the road to iowa last year in that rainy game and it wasn't like pretty numbers but they had to come from behind and they had to win like a gritty game like a roll up your sleeves kind of game that to me was good for dante moore since then like what am i hanging my hat on i'm not hanging my hat on this run game i'm not hanging my hat on the throw game i'm not hanging my hat on them getting after you up front defensively so to me if i were to wipe the slate clean if i were to be the anti-ap voter and forget what i thought in pre-season and just go based on what i've seen so far this year and i'm not even saying usc's look like a world beater because they got pushed by rutgers last week but if they can get off the field early in the game if they if they don't have like 42 plays run on them in the first half where that defensive front is gassed in the second half because they don't rotate a whole lot of guys if they could be in this thing i think they got the edge at quarterback until further notice um i think absolutely both guys need it both coaches need it but i think lincoln really needs it because you're talking job security with him and if they lose this game i don't like him against ohio state i don't like him against indiana they could have multiple additional losses coming um this football season whether you're buying tickets booking travel or shopping for team gear protect your pocket with visa to pay for a bootleg jersey without checking the card not a pro move tapping to pay with visa that's a pro move visa runs more than 500 security checks to help identify fraud before transactions are approved helping protect your payment all the way to the end zone so you can focus on other things like whether boneless wings are actually wings reaching for your card with five fingers covered in buffalo sauce that's a fumble waiting to happen not a pro move tapping to pay with visa that's a pro move because with visa you're not responsible for any charges you didn't make so you can save your defensive energy for something else like keep keeping the boy taylor away from your nachos this season a great defensive play is paying with visa the most trusted way to pay for football fans everywhere i'm taking usc plus three and a half no money line uh no actually i'll go money line i'll take usc money line hit the table a second time three you can't okay you can't pretend you can't do that this is uh you never know in my show so all the nice things we've said about dan lanning and this is how you're going to turn them week four i don't look at it that way i look at it as dan lanning's turned on me i put him in my national championship game and he has the audacity i picked him to win the national championship he has the audacity to go and lose at oklahoma state yeah and i think he needs to take the sunglasses off i'm just going to say it no one else will i'll say it i don't like it i don't like the sunglasses if you got a squint dude i there's uh who is it is caitlyn deborah caitlyn deborah has tan lines where his eye wrinkles are he squints so much in the sun but at least he's not wearing sunglasses i don't like the sunglasses from landing right now i think if he takes the shades off if he takes the shades off in the most unlikely of places in los angeles in the epicenter of the entertainment industry i would argue second there's such a huge job for dan landing to sit there and break the sunglasses right after the coin flip take them off break them and throw them on the ground live organ but also live that yeah who has uh who is lincoln riley beat nobody game moments nobody he's beaten michigan brian kelly that's i'll tell you the two it's michigan and it's chiron that that season kind of went downhill it's brian kelly it's lsu that season went downhill lincoln riley does not have a single signature win at usc and we're a decade in so this is not a pick coming from the confidence of lincoln's done it for me before it's a pick coming from the total lack of confidence from lanning who's done it for me for a few times but i just think the dude is probably a little deficient at coordinator right now and i don't know that he's he's not singing the same tune mike elko is maybe at a m because those are two places where they promoted from within last year at coordinator because they were going into the playoffs and so they had to make a move um who knows maybe i'll be dead wrong on that but all i can judge it on is results so far and the result out of the gates is like i cannot imagine the the sunday slash monday periods after the oklahoma state game because when you're watching that it feels like it would have been a scroll that would roll to the side of the building of all kinds of issues of effort issues just pure physical issues technical issues execution uh alignment assignment coaching all of the above i can't imagine how long those meetings were so do i just think that's cleaned up after an 84-0 win portland state i don't know it was the most uninspiring football i've ever seen i was gonna say effort and they got pushed the week before effort was bad the the physicality up front was bad i think you you pointed out something really good about the offensive line like their intention is correct the way they try to play very physical their problem is they try to play physical in the past game as well like the left tackle very athletic very nimble feet but there's multiple times he's leading his head out there and that Oklahoma State defensive lineman is kind of getting around him no problem turning a corner because he is trying to get a kill shot every single time. If you were to say a woe to that offensive line a little bit more, focus more on taking the right steps and getting in the right fits, then have that tenacity behind it, I think their run game is a whole lot better. I don't disagree with you, Dante Moore. There's a lot to be desired when it comes to him and his gameplay. There's multiple, I think, pulls that he could have had, specifically the first one of the game, first play of the game, that he could have pulled one and had himself a nice run similar to Mestemaker for Oklahoma State when they had their first run of the game. Josh Allen. Josh Allen. We might as well just call him Josh Allen at this point. McCullen having the foot injury. For a lot of teams, that makes me concerned, but talent's not the issue with Oregon. You have DeCorey Moore, you got Stewart, they have another tight end. They have multiple guys in the backfield that can run the ball. Here's where I think that it changes is Dan Lanning probably promoted these guys within from a coordinator standpoint, took his hands off of the defensive side of the ball specifically and allowed his coordinator to do that. After you deal with a game like Oklahoma State where it's uninspired, the defensive line who's supposed to be the greatest in all of college football doesn't do what they're supposed to do, that's where Dan identifies quickly, understands, well, what got me in the position to be the head coach of Oregon, and that's defensive coordinator. So I think his hands are, his fingerprints are much more on this defensive front, on these linebackers, on this secondary, because the talent's all there. And if you watch the defense, it's the linebackers who have also been very disappointing. They're way farther back to where they think to themselves, the defensive line's going to handle the run game for us, they'll handle the passing from us. We're just going to help out more in the middle of the field because we have the horses to do it. I don't think that's the case. I think you're going to see a lot more pressure. Maiva does great with pressure, but Maiva also likes to play a little bit of hero ball, and that's what they're going to try to pressure them into. When I look at USC and Oregon, it's like both teams disappointing in some ways. One way more than the other. But USC's like, they are extremely talented across the board, but all of their talent, most of their talent, their best players are younger underclassmen, freshmen guys. So now you're getting in Big Ten play, you see the uniform and it means a little something different to you because it's your first time playing against Oregon. It's your first time being in, hey, this one really matters. We're in conference play now. Pressures elevate, and I will take experience over that. That's the part to me that Dan Landon getting in the defense, the experience of these players being in this position before, because I think USC, if we fast forward to two years, it's like, yeah, you look at these teams, I'm going to take that. I think the most impressive thing I've seen from USC is as long as Lincoln Riley has been at USC in a four minute drill, I've never seen a team, his team, start with the ball four minutes into the game and they're up and end with the ball in their hands. And as bad as Rutgers has been, they did that against Rutgers, which shows growth. Like King Miller runs the ball well. I think they have the edge on the offensive side of the ball, offensive line side of the ball. But Dan Landon and culture. If I picked them to win the national championship, I think they made a lot of corrections. And we have a great example of quick corrections being made in week two with Michigan and Oklahoma. That's where I'll go Oregon. I'll take them minus three and a half. I'll put three on that. Yeah. If you're Dan Landon, you can't have the sunglasses in the trophy case with Lincoln Riley. That might be a Sarah McLaughlin. McLaughlin. Glockland. Glockland, especially. Special next week. It would pay me to do it. It would. It seems like you're ready to set that up and go there if he lets this one down right here. All I'm saying is, is there a single head coach that we have put more of our collective weight behind and we have done more to emotionally assist, encourage, cheer than Dan Lanning? It's bad journalism. It's bad, lowercase J journalism. And we've done it anyway. We got to get a return on our investment. Do you mind? Has other coaches, have they given up on the competitive nature of Dan Lanning? Cause this is the fourth week we've been on the show and there's not been one text into Will Compton about Dan Lanning. Oh, you mean they don't even feel they're not, there's no concern. Big Netty hasn't reached out. Lincoln Riley hasn't reached out. No one has reached out to Will to say anything nasty about Dan Lanning. I got a random text last night. Did you really? He called himself long rifle. Long rifle. LR. I don't know what that means. And I got three photos. Well, I got one. One was a voicemail. It was a fake Louisiana accent. A photo came in. It was a photo of a butter knife. And then a third photo came in. It was a picture of sunglasses. You said, I don't know what that means. That was from LR? Yeah. Lone Ranger maybe? Was it just LR and you decided that it was Long Rifle or is the name Long Rifle? No, he said Willie C Com Nasty. This is a Long Rifle. LR for short. Long Nasty. He sent me a picture of LR. This is LR for short. And he sent me an audio message that it was a fake Louisiana accent. Then he sent me a photo of a butter knife. And then he sent me a photo of sunglasses. He said, do with that what you will. And you think this has to do with Dan Lanning? Maybe. I just thumbs up it because I was, you know, you get a little nervous. Yeah. Don't know anybody. How late at night was this text sent? 11:02 PM. Wow. Cause that's still only 9:02 on the West Coast, depending on where this dude lives. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Huh. LR C Com Nasty. Look, I'm taking the over here. Like, I think even. So we just got done with Ole Miss in Florida where they're 58. We look at this one, 61. Yeah. Yeah. Like all your guys's points are great. Like I think Oregon's defense. It's the receiver being out, isn't it? That's what makes you love the over. I do. Like you got a pissed off Oregon team. You got Dan Lanning in all the meetings. Like the effort that was displayed against Oklahoma State. Even if their offense plays better. I don't think either defense is going to make one of these quarterbacks, a little Cuban from four quarters. And so I just see everybody kind of scoring at will. And I just think it's going to come down to who has the ball last at the end of the game. And I just love a lot of points. You got coordinators with a match in their hand. Can we get downhill in our one game for Oregon? Fuck. It's all perimeter and outsides only. Let's get downhill. Let's gap scheme a little bit. Here's what I'm asking. If you thought. So let me let me back up. How surprised would you guess Lanning is at their performance so far? Because we talk about this sometimes about how sometimes there's high expectations publicly for a team and they underachieve. But then later on down the road, you'll find out the coaching staff kind of knew all along. The coaching staff was surprised the hype was that big publicly because they knew they were flawed. Then there are other times where the coaching staff is just as shocked as the public is. My guess, I've not talked to Lanning about this. My guess is they're pretty surprised. Oh, yeah, that's just my guess. You have seven guys that didn't decide. Not to go to the NFL to come back and had as much production as they have. They've had they have a great I mean, they're good across the board at every single position. How do you not sit there and be like, yeah, we're going to win it all this year? Dude, you. There's no way they sat there and they're like, well, it's kind of crazy. No, it ain't surprising like that. It's surprising, like pissed off, like all the potential you have, especially on the defensive side of the ball and watching the effort in that Oklahoma State game. I can only imagine what type of week of practice that they had against Oregon State, but you've been in those spots. It's not like you're surprised, like we're just as surprised as the public. You're surprised because you're pissed off about, you know, we are pissing away everything we got in this room right now. Like the problem is in this room. The answer is also in this room. Like it's all gut check. It's all challenging from day and landing, especially as a defensive minded guy. And your defense is performing like that. If you see the backers to like fucking fly around, they like to do a lot of stuff from the from to show to where you kind of got it on the racer in the middle. So that's where they're a little more. They have a little bit more depth and they play softer because you. Do think that the line is going to cut it up. But man, there's just too much talent on that roster and on that side of the ball. I don't want to go down this road because it seems like post Penn State meltdown last year. Everyone's looking for like the next Penn State. I don't know that you're going to have that every year. However, if you do have that this year, the prime candidate would be a team like Oregon. A team that's loaded up. Are you making a Danny Franklin comment right now? I'm not going to say Dan Franklin. But you're kind of saying. You basically are saying it. Other people have said it. You're bringing it up without any of us talking about it. No, possibly yes. But what I'm saying is if they've got two loss, if they're if their expectation was national title or bust, which it was just like Penn State last year and there are two loss team before October, you've got a real threat of the cart jumping off the tracks. You know, it sucks. You're right. And that they still got multiple losable games ahead of that. That was your week one a gap. Which is I was kind of saying it like. Prophetic. I was. There's so much belief in Dan landing. It's like, yeah, this is a boom or bust year for them. And I had one national. I haven't doing all that. But if you don't. That could be a case. And I never thought that this would even be a possibility if we lose this game. If they lose this game, there is a serious chance that these players pack it in. And I think that if they lose the game, you need to just count on the fact that no one heard what you just said. And when we go on air next week on Friday, you got to get Tom and the production folks. To just tee that up in week one. And you got to lean back and say, told you so. No, I could never do that to Dan. Told you so. Danny boy ain't losing. I could never do that to Dan. He ain't losing this weekend, bro. Unless. There's too much doubt about this conversation right now. I would just shoot Dan a text and be like, don't turn the TV on. I'm sorry. I have to do this. They made me. They got me. Yeah. I'm just reading the cue card. Right. I'm just reading the prompter. It is. Dangerous territory. Very. When did you say Lincoln Riley is in the same position? Yes. But that's. Because of the totality. The totality of his underachievement in his career. That's why I think that the players aren't like. No, I would agree with you. There is such an expectation. expectation for not just the coaching staff, but Oregon, the players, everybody. It was like, this is the year we finally win a national championship. No one, people still look at USC as like the fourth or fifth best team. This may be the year we finally make the playoff. Yes. That's kind of their attitude. Right. But so there's a detachment between players and Lincoln probably. Lincoln's like, I know I got to make the playoff or I'm probably cooked here. The players are like, first off, half of them are true freshmen, like you said. So we got three more years here. We got two or three more years. We think we're going to have to make the playoff. We'll take it. We'll take a swing at it this year. If not, we'll be back next year, no matter what. He doesn't know if he'll be back next year. God. High stakes. Yeah, I'm doing the over. Doing the over. We need Danny Boy to come through, man. I'm thinking. All right. I need to make, I need to make a move here. I need to make a move. How many units did I put on that? For this, you put three. Okay. I don't, I don't dislike Dan. I dislike his team so far. So I'm gonna go plus three and a half instead. 'Cause I do want the J.P.

DeShawn Bishop had offers to go to other colleges and decided to walk on at the University of Tennessee 'cause he bleeds orange. He's a patient runner. explosive hypo was asked hey how do you how is his health we saw him come out last game we're not worried about his health we're not worried about his health at all this one just means more mike matthews wide receiver but a little quiet since week one he got texas don't sleep on don morris either you're thinking about texas right now who was played like shit on the road last year four games under 100 yards rushing and you're down the volunteers keep cooking i'm this i'm i've cooked like where do you sit there peyton manning will be in the building yeah and you know he's pulling for the vols that's why he won't do college game day because it just means more in knoxville 11 oh sorry 1 p.m eastern play texas the number one team who has that title of number one right next to their name where josh hypos just sharpened a knife right now ready to take a scalp where are you going i think anytime you play on the road you got a pack of defense and you got a pack of run game texas can run that fucking ball arch manning can rip it around i like coleman that it was a fluke of ohio state even being close in that game with the picks first play was a fumble i see arch manning going in and dominating the vols dominating i hate saying it i hate it i love hypo i love they're gonna they're gonna put points on the board yeah look at the total it's absolutely beautiful they got a great defense tennessee's offensive line outstanding on the left side of the offensive line big holes on the other side disorganized not great with their hands they have a lot of rush yards because deshaun bishop is so patient i think he's a really good back but when you got biles from the linebacker you got colin simmons you got lawrence on the other side you got a back end that can run with anybody you watch a texas ohio state game and it's like yeah ohio state was up by 20 points but it was because of fluke bs a fumble by relique brown in the first play of the game coleman off of his leg to a safety like when they when they fumbled the ball on the first play of the game they're in the red zone ohio state has the ball in the red zone with bo jackson with julian sand with jeremiah smith and they got held held to three and in the second half yeah arch played backyard football hey let him play in high school but you know what happened goosby wake forest tackle and that interior offensive line mauled ohio state's defensive line and hollywood smothers just kept cooking over and over started to get your shots mosley started to show up that's wide receiver three coleman he's been he's been shot down quite a bit about his hands like this is a massive game and i'm excited but this is texas minus four and a half i hate it because i love my boys over here but i got four units on that oh and i just can't do five just massacred my boys over there why can't you do five because you can only slap the table once oh that's right if you hadn't already slapped the table i would slap the table this would be five yes you couldn't be more confident in a team that hasn't proven they can do it on the road yet they also proven they didn't have a signature win until two weeks ago that's wonderful yeah that's great i feel like they're one in the country because of a couple fourth downs in one fourth quarter game are you saying overhyped a little bit i think a little overhyped that's why they're down in the fourth quarter by 20 points like they got the horses like but again like with the six you have a uh a freshman quarterback for the first time playing against a true opponent like their their best game they had was georgia tech yep and georgia tech they ain't it ball like if you put on the film with georgia tech number 95 he's got some crazy ass name you check out that film of arch against utsa last week nope didn't even look at it didn't put it on because i knew they had tennessee the following week yeah okay okay well he's also performed that way like he's in the heisman race but it's because of the fourth downs in the fourth quarter in the name he hasn't played that way and tennessee's also got a coordinator that has a little little key to the safe because he shut down that offense a couple years ago in the college football playoff and jim knowles and you look at arch manning too like when you do look under the hood this is gonna be this is like this is the nerdy stuff but when you got him thrown in between the white hashes the middle of the field his completion percentage is down toward 50 percent if he's on the outside it's north of 60 but a lot of it is on the perimeter just to get him going um you everything you're saying about texas is right if they run the football and they run the football well with hollywood smothers and malik brown they have a good shot of winning this football game so i'm putting a lot of stock in this jim knowles defense and showing up because they haven't had a whole lot of past production either it's like what's one of your guys's uh in starts with the uh w weather weather for us be weather's be weather's be like he hasn't showed up like they have about what two three sacks in the three games that they played against inferior opponents so there is a big question mark on tennessee but i think neil is going to be looking for a fight look at the look in those those boys eyes i love them i love my neil is going to be looking for a fight on saturday and if toughest places to play in the country neil is up there and if they're not two they are number one bro i think it's going to be nasty i like a dog that is still hungry to get their first big time win versus a dog that's already been fed with one win could be a little high coming out of ohio state because again i do think they're a little fraudulent in that one slot in all of college football i'm going to ride with the boys i'm riding with the boys i'm riding with faze on brandon he hasn't looked 18 yet this is an 18 year old going against an nfl defense he hasn't looked that way yet he hasn't blinked no picks they can run the ball well and even if you don't have bishop morris is he'll run through your face as well i'm so i'm riding i'm rocking with the boys it's gbo i'm gonna take i'm only gonna take tennessee plus four and a half confidence level of two be cautious confidence level of two be cautious between the two different backs morris will run through your face he's not a very patient back the way the back side of that offensive line is on the right side and the front side they need a little bit of patience to cover him up that's where deshaun bishop has had so much success he's being patient in the backfield similar like levion bell in a lot of ways he'll sit back he's he's like very confident a yard behind the line of scrimmage that's where all of his explosive plays come from morris will hit it hard and fast but it's got to be blocked right and they got horses that can absolutely run yeah but again you get in those 30 personnel looks like there's going to be a lot of window dressing that hopefully tennessee is able to have success with because you keep those wide splits and you get the run game going with tempo that's going to help open up the shots downfield for phase on and i just like i'm 18 going against texas i love the spot it'd be an incredible story it would be incredible i feel awesome about this i love love my pick on this game so let me walk you through uh when we looked at arch last year we looked at texas last year and then they're coming into this year if you believed in them what were you banking on you were banking on them running the ball better and they went to the portal and they addressed that and you were banking on arch manning just improving as a player that's not unreasonable to ask for he was six touchdowns four picks as an sec road starter last year he was 57 percent they weren't good enough on the road last year so you're banking on they're a better outfit on the road so far we haven't seen it we've only seen them play at home this is their first time out i do agree with you i agree what sark said i think at its best it's the loudest environment in college football to noon kickoff there are some amongst us who believe that actually favors tennessee don't know how they got there but whatever there are some people around us who believe that it's better for tennessee you give chef 20 minutes he'll tell you why so the second part of this uh we got to figure out who faze on brandon is because it's it's it's okay to be high on him but also say he hasn't really played anyone he certainly hasn't felt the heat that they'll feel i really i worry about texas's interior defensive line against tennessee on the interior because i really think they can do some work there now luckily i've got mobility at quarterback to where even on broken plays it's not the only one that can do some work there it's the other way around now luckily i've got mobility at quarterback to where even on broken plays it's not the only one that can do some work there now luckily i've got mobility at quarterback to where even on broken plays it's not the only one that even on broken plays, it's not the end of the world. He can still create. He can still improvise. They can still push the ball down the field. The thing I love about it is, I love that Texas' blueprint here, if they're going to go in there and win, is to grind the game on the ground. Tennessee, you think tempo, tempo, tempo. If you've watched them so far this year, they haven't incorporated as much of it because I think they're very intentional in bringing that quarterback along and understanding defensively we can't hang those guys out to dry. Here's the question. Have they been building towards this Texas game knowing that that's when we're going to flip the switch on tempo, or have they been intentional so far and that's going to continue to be the way they go because they know our best shot's running the ball too. Our best shot's riding our tailbacks too. If either of those things are true, the under is a brilliant opportunity here because I think that number should be in the upper 40s. The under is low 50s, and instead that thing's at 55.5, so I couldn't be more confident. The only reason I'm not going to slap the table is because I already did. I will take under 55.5 for four units. That's my pick. Secondly, until further notice, I am not investing in Texas on the road. I'm just not doing it, and I haven't seen, I love what they did against Ohio State, but I also hate that within the "structure" of their offensive framework, it took getting out of that. It took them to come back against Ohio State. In the normal, between-the-lines Texas offensive approach, they did nothing against Ohio State. To think that they're all of a sudden going to explode in this kind of environment, to me, is a little unrealistic. If I went against the number, I would go Tennessee plus 4.5. But I think the better opportunity is on the under. So I'm going to go under 55 and a half, four units. Can't help but feel like that was a cop out. Because I kind of love the under too. I told you who I'd be on. You got to go face these people Friday. Yeah. And I love the Tennessee fans. They're a big part of why this bus was successful. Being in Tennessee, Titans fans, Vols fans, big reason why this bus got up and started. I am indebted to those people. What did Texas people do for you? They were really nasty to me when we went to Ann Arbor when they played Michigan. Really nasty. There was one guy that tried to fight me. Do you remember that? Tried to fight me. He was like, I went and took a photo, and I took a photo of horns down. He's like, oh, get that shit out of here. I was like, dude, I went to Michigan. Those are fighting words. He said, we're not going to take a photo with you then. I was like, okay, I guess we won't take a photo then. And he went on. He's like trying to buck up. I'm like, listen. Relax, buddy. Now you've got a little Stockholm Syndrome, and you're betting them anyway. No, I watch film. And you can see what it is. Wow. There's nothing Stockholm Syndrome about. I told Chef, I'm looking for every opportunity to look at Tennessee and be like, I want to pick them. You couldn't find anything. I didn't find enough when I watched Texas to be like, yeah. They're a better football team. And the offensive line to me is just, they're a dominant offensive line. You worried about Colin Simmons? Because they don't really have backup there. If he's not good to go, their pass rush is not two or three deep. They got one dude. You don't know Lawrence, former five-star. Well, that's great. That's wonderful. Like, recruiting rankings aside, you're a film watcher. You're not a stargazer. I think what Ohio State did was a very smart game plan that Tennessee should take is when Colin Simmons is out of the game, take your shots then. That's where you see a lot of Jeremiah Smith shots. So there's a world there. But. I want to know how many snaps he's going to play. Like, if he's good to go, moot point. But he was hurt. And there's rumor that he may be hurt and may be either limited if he does go or like game time decision. That's why we're recording this on Wednesday. So the health report, the Lane Kiffin Memorial Injury Report comes out on Wednesday nights. Don't know what Colin Simmons is going to be listed as. Don't know if he's going to be listed. We'll find out. If he's doubtful, who cares? That means nothing these days. It means nothing. We'll find out. I'm not here to be like just super nasty towards Tennessee. I love Tennessee. It sounds like you kind of hate them. I think Texas is, yeah, whatever. I think Texas is just a much better football team at this point. Faison Brandon is going to be, as of right now, first round pick. As of right now. But three years down the road. Not now he's not. No. I think Will said a couple weeks ago, Muschamp, one of the best things he does is make quarterbacks uncomfortable. Faison's going to find out. Will Muschamp was adjacent to a Georgia program, that just used to shut Hypel down on the regular. So, he has had a lot of experience being associated with a defense that has very successfully defended this offense. It's one of the other reasons I like the under. Because that's in the cards. There is that scenario. It is a bet you can make on FanDuel. That's correct. Yes. I think it's smart. Smart. We feel good? Parlay's? How about the Oscars this week? Going into Michigan State. East Lansing. Just a gross place. Loud. Good atmosphere. But gross town. For my Super Slate bonus games, it's the Huskers. First game on the road. Conference game. It's Nebraska. It's Calandria. It's Jamal Rule. It's Dane Key. It's Ja'Cory Barney. I got the Huskers on the road. I love it. Mowing down Michigan State. Did you watch Michigan State last week? I don't need to. I was just going to toss out a little token nugget to them that they were a 29 and a half point dog. They only gave up 27 to Notre Dame. So that's something to build off of. Yeah. There you go. This would be a good barometer for where the Huskers are at. This is how good are we really. Yeah. Five and a half point favorite on the road in conference play. It's no joke. Yeah. You got to bump that up to nine and a half. Oh, you're going to go all line across seven? I didn't say none of that. I was just going to suggest it. I think that's plant the flag. We like this team. You got some ground to make up. That's true. Give me Huskers nine and a half. Oh, I love it, dude. We just baited you into that, Will. Six and a half. No, no, no. This is not a bait game. This is the-- No, I promise you it's a bait game. I promise you it is. No, I have watched the Huskers. They look like a legitimate college football team right now. And they looked at it like that last year this time. See what it is. Bring up the alt lines, please. They looked like it this way last year. I'm the same. But they are-- No, they didn't. This is a different team. This is a different year. This is not the same as last year. This is exactly what you didn't want to be. No, no, no. Plus 520. Hang on. Go up. Plus 520. Hang on. Go down. What the hell are we doing? All right, this show is brought to you by Jack Daniels. Whether I'm tailgating on the couch watching Michigan on Saturday, Jack Daniels is a staple on my game day roster.

Bold calls on the field and in your glass, there's a Jack for every football fan. Oh no, there we go. There we go. Oh, oh, oh. Minus 18 and a half. Hang on, scroll up. Scroll up. Just a little bit. Just show me a range. Show them between minus four and a half. There you go. Plus 138. Plus 138. Ooh. Dog, that's-- Be confident. That's not gonna get you-- That's your husker. Six and a half, Will. Yeah, yeah. I'm thinking six and a half. I think it's six and a half. It's minus 106. Just temporary laying somewhere in the middle. I think you did the right thing. Because this has 27 to 20 written all over it. So I think you did the right thing. Do you like that bet? I don't have an opinion on it. I haven't looked at that game all that hard. Fair. I hope. I hope they win by 30. Same. Yeah. Same. We need undefeated versus Indiana. Yeah. We need-- Bradley. Yeah. And then we'll figure it out from there. Yeah. Can I tell you something? Go ahead. We're going to get it. Go. Hey. Shut up. But the good news-- hey, he whispered that. Yeah, he whispered that. He whispered that. And we can handle that. Not going to get on a soapbox. Huh?

The jokes are funny, like genuinely funny. It is. Carnival is calling. Yeah, I'm just laying the points with LSU. LSU minus eight and a half. Very smart. Hate the offensive line with Texas A&M. Or hate the play, not the people themselves. Yeah. Don't like quarterback at all. Think they've regressed there. Don't feel like they have a single thing to hang their hat on. Can't even run the ball all that effectively right now. I mean, I'm not in love with LSU. I think it's really spotty at quarterback right now. Offensive line. For both of these teams. It's a little sketchy. I think the under also hits in this. But I'm going LSU minus eight and a half. I like that. That's part of the old Willie C. Parlay this week. Is it? That's a good pick. Bonus late games. I'm not taking a total in the entire game. There's been a lot of nasty words thrown around about some quarterbacks around here. And they sit in the A gap. And Alabama. Keelan Russell. For them to have the weather delay against Florida State come up. Put up 50. Points started very slow in the first half. A team that starts very fast and tends to lose it in the second half is South Carolina, which happens to be the two teams that are playing this week. This is my favorite play of the week. And it's the halftime line between South Carolina and Alabama and its second half. I'm taking the first half line. Okay. South Carolina plus six and a half. I love it. And it, to me, like this is the one where no guarantees in life, but I love this pick. I love South Carolina running the ball. I like Lenora Sellers facing adversity. I love Shane Beamer sitting there when even South Carolina fans are like, we want to keep them. But the butt has officially gotten into the conversation. I like South Carolina starting fast here. Second half. Don't even want to talk about it. Don't even want to talk about Alabama. People are going to tell you they're 30th in nation rushing. Okay. That's for four quarter games. Not for first house. And that is also. So broken down passes. Keelan Russell's an alien athlete. Like we're lining up. We're snapping the ball. We're handing it to the running back. I'm still not sold on that. So I like South Carolina plus six and a half. I hope it happens for the Gamecocks, for the Cockpits. It's a great bet. It's a great bet. You don't like that. You should take it, Josh. You know, DeBoer. You can bet that. And then Alabama. I'm going to hammer it. Say that. There's one right there for you too. Even if you're a Bama fan, DeBoer, that team, everything. It's clearly the messaging is we got to start with way more urgency. Like they're a phenomenal second half team. But you know they're pissed off about not starting well in their last couple weeks. It's an extremely young team. Of all these top ten teams, most of them are far more veteran. Bama's like a really young team. Which is something to remember second half of the year. And it's something to remember when you're betting these first halves. Because that leads to a lot of variance and potential way you come out of the gate. Yeah. Go to my community on FanDuel. You can find that right there. Sorry to bet. I do want to highlight one more game. Because there's a lot of good slates. Obviously, Big Ten plays taking place. Wolverines are at home against Iowa. It's a big game. Oh yeah, it's a huge game. And I just think this is where we find out. Like 17 and 18 going at it. This game is going to come down to just discipline. Flags and turnovers. Iowa's great at not having them. Michigan's great at having them. And it's just, can we? As a team, for four quarters, not put the ball on the ground and keep the laundry off of the field. If they can do those two things, I believe in Michigan's talent. I also believe that Iowa is the best coach team in college football year in and year out. Like they are always in the right spot. They never try to do anything sexy. They know who they are. Hank Brown, I think he was 12 for 12 last week. Is that it? Tony Diaz is a guy from like Grenadier State. Some crazy UT Grenadier State school. He's got a little X-Play material. Wolverines are favorite at minus five and a half, which gets me into my dog of the week. I'm taking Iowa. Oh. Plus five and a half in this game. Jesus Christ. Wow. I think this is a rock fight. I think it comes down to the wire. I think two teams are going to run the ball. I think they're going to play defense. A punt is a win as we get into it. I'm taking Iowa. Plus five and a half. The way you described the game. Michigan's going to win the game. Whoa. Guys, this is. Close Michigan win. A college football. Pick them show. Yeah. You watch the film. You see what they've put on tape. I can be biased. I've proven that time and time again. But you watch film. But I watch film. Watch film. And at the end of the day, like Iowa is never going to be in the wrong spot ever. Like, can they rush passer? No. But three, four yard gains. Keep them. See if mistakes happen. Michigan's more likely to make the mistake than Iowa. I'm looking at the five day forecast over here. Go ahead. The way you describe Iowa, Michigan. The way. Iowa, Michigan formulates itself in your head. Don't you think rainy, upper thirties, low forties, gross. That's how you want it. That's how you think about it. 72 and sunny in Ann Arbor Saturday. Disgusting. Most beautiful day. It's a day that should be points galore. And these fools are about to play first to 20. Yeah. You can tell it's coming to. This is where real football fans get to sit down and watch the defense. Get a little base tan. Bet a little under. Bet the road dog. But the home. Money line. Yeah. It gets no better. It's beautiful. No better. And I hope, I hope to God I'm wrong and Michigan wins this game by 50 points. And I would gladly lose a unit over that. Gladly use unit over that, but no one picked this game to talk about. I want to talk about it cause I love my Wolverines, but fair balls ball. But you're fading them. I'm fading the total, the, the, the line, which just wins out. Right. And Taylor won his bet. Oh, disgusting. That'd be disgusting. That's yeah. I'm going to take Mizzou at Mississippi state this weekend. Really? Oh yeah. Not saying I don't like they're not, I'm not sitting here going money line with them, but I think Mizzou is going to be able to run the football. They got why this wide zone scheme that is very, that works very well for him. Austin Simmons. He's got to get a little bit more accurate, but I do love his, his poise, his footwork, everything in the pocket, his release, they got to clean some things up. And then also Mississippi state. Absolute like they're on an up and up right now. Camaro Taylor. We've talked at length about how much of a superstar this kid is. I think they're a little vulnerable at the tackle spot. I think Mizzou will be able to get after him a little bit more. And again, it's all about, it's all about getting the man down on third down. That's a tall task. It's tough to ask. It's hard to do. Um, but as long as Mizzou they're back in, keeps the ball in front of them. Again, easier said than done because they have lightning speed on the outside, but I'm just going to, I'm going to take Mizzou as an underdog plus five and a half on the road at Mississippi state. How is Mizzou at rushing the passer? They're okay. And again, they, it's like, you're, you're, you're going off the first few weeks, like their best opponent has been Kansas. Yup. Oh, so it's kind of hard to tell. Yeah. It's kind of hard to tell. Um, I just, they said in the hype video, I'm just reporting the news. Like you can't get mad at me. Why would you root for them? They support slavery, but I like the way that they're able to run the football. There's no, that's why they weren't my pick. Uh, this is going to probably be on Friday night lines. I actually love this. - Mizzou plus five and a half. - Model loves it. I love it. the model loves cincinnati plus six and a half this is my favorite bet of the week ask me why why please i got no clue but the model loves cincinnati plus six and a half so that's my dog of the week oh cincinnati is at k-state yeah i should i should have noted the opponent because that is of interest they're playing kansas state i was gonna say like kansas state pretty good team yeah model doesn't care model doesn't care model thinks that's been factored into the line you and dj lagley is him in kansas state yes yeah that's correct you guys love it we all die together he kind of just always whispers of kansas state i had kansas state like not doing well this year the fact that they've come out and they're three and oh and they've looked good offensively in the first three weeks i'm kind of just like i guess the word is surprise kansas that you just took out back and threw in the dumpster oh yeah oh yeah all my futures right now are right now trending well looking good mine are not i haven't even checked mine just waiting for sam this is the last week for san levitt for me uh then i have to jump ship i have to get out of there i need a big game from him jump ship on on him yeah i think that's still love him love the family i think he's met them at college game day week one they were good family yeah they watched the show they were very positive if they loved my take on sam levin yeah yeah yeah you're not out yet i'm not out yet no this is we have texas a.m two two teams coming off a loss who's who in the zoo he said we'll start to believe now too in levin after the first few weeks i'm like oh he's not gonna he's gonna win the heisman i i think he's a good player great player but when the heisman but there's too many look at some of these cats out there yeah you got to watch levitt versus trinidad chambliss and you watched the way chambliss hop i'm just gonna i will i will keep an eye on michael hawkins jr too west virginia you know where he was i know i picked up a mistake but you pull this one out you know where he transferred from oklahoma what could have been what could have been he could just be screwed into the ground right now too oh my god yeah because that's that's it's schematics do you think like uh do you think it's really john matthew's fault or it's the pieces around him with the oc i don't so i think there's a healthy amount of it to go around yeah i don't think i don't think it's as easy as one sentence it's this dude's fault yeah i hate it for john matthew though i do too i hate it for me yeah you brought that up a lot on the show yeah i feel sorry for myself it was a great show last summer you went hard on john matthew because you got into some deep lore deep cut beyond john matthew high school ball you loved him i
