Bussin' With The Boys - Alabama Will Beat Texas A&M, Oklahoma vs Texas Is Personal This Year & Notre Dame Still Has Hope

Episode Date: October 4, 2023

Week 5 of college football is in the books and unfortunately it didn't go as well as week 4 did for the boys. We are not one to blame anyone but ourselves for missed gambling opportunities but if we did do that we would blame Nebraska for losing to Michigan, South Carolina for losing to Tennessee and Colorado for covering against USC, but remember we don't do that. New week, new board, new picks. This week we dive into the Red River Rivalry w/ Texas and Oklahoma, Nick Saban and Alabama vs Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M, ole reliable Sam Hartman and Notre Dame where they take on Louisville, LSU vs Missouri and of course Nebraska vs Illinois. Stick around until the end to get some insight on a 3-leg virtually impossible to miss parlay. Let's win some money boys. 0:00 Intro 2:00 Recap 7:00 Week 5 Pics begin 18:00 Parlay ----- SHOP: https://store.barstoolsports.com/collections/bussin-with-the-boys FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bussinwtb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BussinWTB Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BussinWTB/ Website: https://www.bussinwtb.com LISTEN iTunes: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Apple Spotify: http://bit.ly/BWTB_Spotify ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Cars.com - Visit https://www.cars.com/?utm_source=barstool&utm_medium=video&utm_id=5029&utm_aff=acqmar57&bac=acqmar57&utm_trusted=TRUEFor more, visit barstool.link/bussinwtbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority of Black City, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just like really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Happy Spooktober.

Welcome to another episode of Bet the Bus. I am your host, Pay Off Willie, aka we had a tough weekend. You see the Barry's Barrier's Bar and Grill. Shout out to Boys of Barry's Bar and Grill for making us a championship belt that is sitting in Taylor's seat, Michigan. That was a tough, that was a tough loss. We'll get into our two and three record here in a second. What this show is about, if you're a new watch or if you're a new listener,

who hopefully is having enough fun to leave a comment. This is the premier college football gambling show. We have the best college minds and not only the best college minds, but the best college football entertainers across the globe, starting with Joey Parley, JP, the vault, Hovey. We got Jackie Slips. You see the boy, JP. He's wearing orange right now.

He's wearing Tennessee colors. He's a game cock. He got the thing choked out over the weekend. We'll also get to that in a minute. Jackie Sliffs. Jackie Recap Jack in the back. Doesn't matter. He's making you a stack.

He's ready to go this weekend. We got Gary Midnight. You play your cards right. You make it on the nice list over the naughty list. You're going to be walking out to your living room with a stack of cash under the Christmas tree. And then you got Mitchie, Big Brain, Fairweather fan billboard. He loves the Ohio State Buckeyes. He loves Penn State.

He loves Kansas City. He loves the Eagles. He loves the Yankees. He loves the Cowboys, and he loves the St. Louis Cardinals, because they win a lot of World Series games, too. But what you're going to be listening to today, guys, six games. We're going to be covering, of course, we're covering Nebraska, Illinois. Vegas is trying to give us money for that one. LSU, Ohio State, Maryland, BAMN, A&M, the Red River rivalry,

and then we'll be going over Notre Dame versus the ACC once again at Louisville to top this thing off. Everybody, this episode is brought to us. There is no presenting sponsor today. It's our spook-tover merch. Go crazy. Get spooky with the boys. We got a lot of merch. Gary Midnight, he made.

He made these bad boys. Go buy them up at the Barstool Store. Go to the Bustin brand. It'll be right there. Before we get in the recap, let's everybody bow our heads and let us pray to the gambling gods. Dear Lord, please grant us the serenity

to accept the results over the weekend that we cannot change, the courage to change the picks when we can and the wisdom to know that it ultimately doesn't matter for thine is the kingdom of power, the glory of the sportsbook, all yours forever. Nebraska still has a shot for the big team championship. Amen.

Again, I told you what we're about, what we're going to be covering, and here's why you're going to stay. We make you money. We make you cash. But money isn't just currency. It's a story. And the most captivating stories are the ones that are worth listening to. and we got six stories, six pits, but more importantly, six stories.

They're going to tell you how I'm taking the sports book down this weekend. Jackie Recap, tell us, tell us how we did. And for the love of God, get us a quote to get these boys to get us going, going into this college football slate. Yeah, last week, not our best showing, but we're here to take it back. We're here to get our money back. We're here to get back on track. I'm not going to say that I told you also

with the Tennessee spread because on this bus we win as a team and we lose as a team. Very big of you, very big of you. So I'm going to hit you with a quote and we've all heard it before and every time you hear it it it resonates even truer and truer but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over

and expecting different results. With that being said, let's move on to our first game with Nebraska at Illinois. Listen, I fucked up. I know I tried bringing us to the water to drink the holy water that was in Lincoln, Nebraska. I gave what I thought was the greatest speech of my life on Saturday before the game. Mediocrity can kiss our ass.

Look at the stats. Michigan can run the football. Nebraska runs it better. Michigan can play defense. The black shirts play defense. And hey. I'll give it to Blake Corr. He gave him me last night, said sweet dreams, but I'm telling you,

when he walks out into that stadium, the tunnel walk happens, the gates fucking close, and they hear, Go, Big Red! It's going to be four quarters of fuck you. My juices were flowing so much, I swear to God. I was, I think we were all ready to storm. the field. That didn't happen. We got our ass whooped. Michigan, they walked in our house, they shit in the toilet, they didn't flush, they ate our food, and they left. And I'm not too

big to say, that was a good ball club. We did not show up to play. If you listen to Coach Rules Press Conference, I'll just leave you with this. Several of those touchdowns were blown assignments, or miss assignments, easy, fixable things that we got to get back in the lab about. This is a wake your ass up week for Nebraska. This is a, do you boys sitting in this team room right now want to play Big Ten football? Because there are guys, like he said, that can play on Sunday,

but we need people to make that decision and not be scared when you get a little bit behind against the big, bad team that comes in. Again, Great Michigan Wolverines team. However, talking about Nebraska, Illinois, let's go into Illinois and get this taste out of our mouth. They were in full pads on Sunday, boys. full pads grinding it out because people are pissed off.

This is a wake-to-sh, wait, wait, have I, have I cussed at night? Damn. This is a wake-your-ass-up game this weekend in Illinois. And right now Nebraska's the underdogs, and that is prime money-making season. Listen to me. Listen to me. I know how I can be about Nebraska. I know how I can be about Nebraska.

But I promise you, this is Nebraska money. This is GBOT. This is GBOT. Nebraska Money Line. Hurry up before I just fucking, I start to lose myself. All right. Second game of the weekend. We are doing an SEC matchup, LSU at Missouri.

Earlier in the year, I did call Missouri the ugly stepchild of the SEC, and I remain on that hill, even though they're 5 and O. I believe this is the week where Missouri is exposed. What do you think, Will? I agree with you. I like LSU minus 6 and 1⁄2 at Missouri. Missouri, it's an easy place to play. It's not that, like, Missou fans are not, like, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, you know, they're fair weather. They're a little bit fickle. When you look at, like, against the spread, by big, by big brain Mitch, you got, what was LSU? What's LSU against the spread? Two and three, Mizzu's like three and two. They're both kind of like 500. So it's kind of like wishy-washy. And you're right. Mizzou is kind of like the stepchild. They're kind of like, you know, they're like that team that is going to hang around, kind of like the Cardinals, kind of like the Cardinals in the NFL. They're winning. Mizzu's.

winning, but I think they're, again, I think it's a dog with fleas. I think they're 5 and O, but they're not actually a 5 and O team. I think they get beat. However, I'm nervous to pick LSU minus six and a half because they gave up over 700 total yards of offense against Ole Miss. But big brain Mitch last week when we wanted to pick that game, Ole Miss LSU, Mitch said, hey, I like the over in this one. And we said, your job is on the line. He delivered. and I believe he likes the over in this game. I am on board with that. LSU has hit the over in every one of their matchups

and Mizzu has hit everyone except one game. So we're going to go over. We're picking the over in total points. I think it's at 62 and a half right now. Doesn't matter. Over whatever that number is come Saturday at LSU Mizzou. All right, moving on. We have now, we're transferring from SEC matchup

to Big Ten matchup, have Maryland at Ohio State. Maryland's looking pretty good. Maryland's kind of nice. Yeah. They have a stable, they have a good high scoring offense. They have a vet at QB2. I don't want to, I don't want to like blow,

I don't want to mess up his name. Too is a little brother, and I don't mean it to say disrespectfully. But he's operating at a high level. They are like a top, what are they, a top 10 passing offense in the country? Top 20, like 18. Is it 18? But yeah, top 20 passing offense in the country.

I low-key like Maryland a little bit. Not to win, not to win. I think Ohio State is kind of the same thing, right? It's kind of like, yeah, they're good. They can be a high-powered offense. They have weapons and studs on that team. But we were at Notre Dame, they snuck out of Notre Dame. Notre Dame lost and they had 10 players.

Because they had 10 players on the field at the end of the game. But OSU, I just don't think that they're going to cover. What's the spread at right now? 21? 21? I'm going Maryland. I'm going Maryland plus 21 at Ohio State. I don't think Ohio State's one of the big dogs in the Big Ten this year.

I like Penn State and what, Mitch? I said Penn State. Like, there you go. I think Penn State's the best. No, I don't think you're completely wrong, but for saying they're not one of the big dogs, I mean, it's Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State. That's three. It's who?

Michigan, Penn State. I heard you the first time. Don't repeat yourself. We're going Maryland plus 21 at Ohio State. All right, moving on. We're going back to the SEC. see this is Alabama season right here on the line because we have Alabama at Texas A&M. Seems like they always put up a huge fight.

The spread is two and a half. What do the notes say? The notes are doing well over here. I wrote some stuff about this one and I like what we got cooking. The line here's the only thing that's scary. The line opened at five. It's now a minus two and a half. Those are one of those things like,

does Vegas know something that we don't? Because ultimately I think. Bama understands that they have to handle teams if they want to be in the college football playoff conversation because they've been on the outside looking in. They were on the outside looking in last year. And I think that lost early to Texas, the QB situation being up in the air.

But again, I think Bama is waking back up. I think Nick Saban, he's back to cussing his players out at practice. And they know how important it is to handle teams, especially on the road at A&M. That's a hostile environment. It's going to be a, electric environment. But I love

Bama and I like Milro to have a big game this game. I think they had their moments in those two weeks when Mill Road played bad against Texas. He gets Bensertr trying the second quarterback, the third quarterback. They go and handle Ole Miss holding them to 10 points. Again, LSU scale over 700 yards

of that offense. Bama held them to 10 points. I think the Brahma undersea, like that's how much the boys are on my way. One and the same. Nebraska plays Friday, by the way, so we'll be able to tune into that one. Bama minus two and a half. I like them in A&M. I like them.

I love them in A&M. Bama minus two and a half. All right. Moving on. As you know, the Bustin Bowl opened up Rivalry Week and bowl season.

And we're moving on to the Red River rivalry. Oklahoma, at Texas. You pulled your way out of that. I like, yeah, a little bit. And bowl season.

I'm like, oh, we in December? You know what I mean. But rivalry week, Oklahoma, at Texas. Red River rivalry plus six and a half. Say that three times in a row. You can't do it. What are we doing, Will?

Red River rivalry. This was a game we thought about going to. I think this atmosphere is all time. You got, where do they play at? Dallas. Dallas. In like the Texas, like the state fair going on. State fair going on.

Everybody just talks about how massive the weekend is out there. Stadium split in a half. You got red. You got orange. Man, what do you guys like in this game? Boomer. Your horns down? Always.

I got one. I got one. Oh, shit. JP? JP, where are you going? I am a... I think this is a good matchup. Horns up.

Horns up? Venables, he's not ready for it yet. It needs one more year. Okay. You like Venables, yeah? No. Really? No.

That's a Clemson guy. Great defensive guy. That's, yeah, I was more asking like the objective. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you. I got you. I get it. The Clemson hate. I respect that.

I think it's always fun to be able to throw down a horns down. And people say that Texas is the real UT, which is also fact because Tennessee was established in 1812. Texas was 1874. But this week, I'm going horns up. Oh, you're going horns up? I'm going Texas, baby. Is it because of the way they looked against Bama?

A little bit. Even though that's kind of faded a little bit on me, I still think that Texas is going to come in and take care of business. In the last, I know, like, last year, 49-0, Texas mopped them. But Oklahoma, seven and three in the last 10. I think, like, Oklahoma is one of those teams. They're 5-0. They're like, what are they?

Maybe plus 188, 188 or 190, maybe in point differential, which is top three in the country. Like, yeah, have they played anybody? Not really yet, but they have a high-powered offense. And their quarterback, who is it? Daniel, is it Daniel Gabriel? Dylan, Dylan, Dylan Gabriel. 15 touchdowns, I think over 1,600 yards. They got general booty on the bench.

Like, what a name. And you know, like, James Dobson is the assistant strength coach at Oklahoma. And that was my guy at Nebraska. He was over here at Vanderbilt. So that's like, that's another father figure to the boy. And he's got this vein. He's got this vein that sticks out when he's angry. And I know that neck vein has been out all week because this game is perfect.

personal for Oklahoma. Everyone's crowning Texas right now. As they should, they're tough. They're tough. They got Ewers. They got Manny. They got Sarks, offensive mind. You're worthy. What? What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you. I just figure since you said they're a quarterback and their third string quarterback, you might need another name. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for saving. Everybody knows the manning's out there. But I like Oklahoma plus six and a half. I think this is a rivalry game where everyone is fully expecting Texas, and I think Oklahoma can get in the conversation. Maybe pull off an upset. I don't know about that, but I do think they keep it close.

Venables, I like his defensive brain, and they're going to be ready to go come this weekend. I like Oklahoma plus six and a half. General Booty on the sideline. We are writing a check that his ass is going to cash. Give Dylan Gabriel the water, brother. All right. Let's move it on. Last game of the week, our favorite team for bet the best.

bus. I think they've been in it every single week. If they were Nebraska, but it is Notre Dame at Louisville, the spread of six and a half. Where are you at? Also, my established notes here. Here's what I got for you. Cars.com, leading digital marketplace that connects car shoppers with their perfect car celebrating 25 years, helping shoppers research, find inventory, finance, and sell cars.

Shop over 2 million cars, 2 million possibilities. And here's one of those possibilities right there.

It's Notre Dame right here. Notre Dame at Louisville. Notre Dame's got to be our squad. Notre Dame is our K-State, Illinois, this year. Yeah. And I think they're nice, man. Yeah, they survived a little bit with Duke, but Duke's a good team. Duke is showing that they're a good team.

Listen to this, that, Big Brain Mitchie back here. 30 straight, Notre Dame, 30 and O against the ACC in their last 30. 5 and 1 against the spread this year. And their only common opponent that they've played that we can kind of look to, see how close they are. NC State, Notre Dame beat their ass, 45 to 24, Louisville only won 13 to 10. And I think when you're looking at this game,

Notre Dame's going to cover minus six and a half against the undefeated Louisville, what is it, Louisville? Cardinals, Louisville Lamar Jackson. Is do you think Notre Dame is for real? And do you believe in their defense? Ohio State, they just held in the 17 points, and that's a high-powered offense. Duke has been known to be put up points this year. They held them.

I think the answer to those questions are both. Yes. And we are going Notre Dame minus six and a half for the bet the bus lock of the week. I'm not going to lie. I truly love all of us. of these picks. I don't know if Joey Parlay is going to put him in his parlay, but JP, I would love to hear what little slip you might have brewing. If you need me to just put this whole slate together, we can do it because I do feel good about every single one of these games.

I would like you to pick a game that we can put and add into my parlay. Nebraska Money Line. Jesus. Do you want a different game? No. I can go a different game. Who are y'all playing again? It'd be the Illinois, bro. Illinois. Maybe we look at a different game.

Hey, hang on, hang on. Let me just give you a couple of things. Illinois is giving up 30, almost 31 points per game on defense. Yeah. Hey, you know what? JP, JP, JP. Full pads on Sunday. Picture the miracle coach.

You're saying again. This is a must win. This is a wake-to-fuck up. You guys are better than this, man. man. All right. We'll put them in. We'll put them in.

Nebraska Money Line. With who else? We'll be the first leg. The second leg, Vegas loves to take me for rides each and every week, especially the last two weeks. And they might know something about this Washington State game because right now Washington State is plus three and a half points versus UCLA. I know.

And it doesn't make sense. I don't know if they know something, but if it doesn't make sense, you come to me, I turn it into dollars. Next, we got Kansas. This game has also confused me. What does Vegas know? This is the week I'm proving that I know more than Vegas. They got Kansas at minus two versus UCF.

Kansas, up until their quarterback got hurt, was in the game with Texas. They have a good team. They were ranked this past week, and UCF is, I think, three and two on the year. So I don't understand why that line is minus two. So we'll do Washington State plus three and a half, Kansas minus two, and Nebraska money line. That's the Parlay. I'm into that, Joey Parlay.

Look, guys, I know, again, I know we went two and three last week. I know we're nervous. But during every loss, you can't just lose. You need to learn the lesson. Risk is what keeps us young. And I'm rolling. I'm all in this weekend, boys. Risk is what keeps us young.

A day without a bet is a day forgotten. That is why you put it all in the line this weekend with Bet the Bus. We are your host. All of our names, we already said it. Doesn't matter. Thank you for joining Bet the Bus. Leave comments, subscribe to Dingleberry, all the things. Man.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one, put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit, season two, is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
