Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:09 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.
Starting point is 00:00:27 We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:01:07 That's where SportsSlice comes in. I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the headline. And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear. Listen to SportsClace on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Slic Life 12 in the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. What's good? What's good? We back at it again. Y'all tuning in to the locker room.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And I'm the mule. Yes, I'm the mule. And I'm back for another season. I want to give you guys a shout out for all the love and comments about talking about me. I love it. And if you watch the first episode, you know I win nuts. So you better see this episode because I'm going to go nuts again. And I tell you right now, I'm back on it. But first, I want to tell you guys, Subscribe, subscribe, subscribe, comment, comment, comment. We love reading it. We love seeing what you crazy characters like to say out there, especially our tier ones.
Starting point is 00:02:07 But it's week two in the NFL, and we're talking about Joe Barrow. Is the elbow good enough? We don't know. We will see. And that'll be our first segment. Segment two will be college football, and it's week three. Nebraska looked good out there giving Colorado the business. What happened to Michigan?
Starting point is 00:02:24 We don't know. We hope they get back into the grind. We're looking forward to seeing you boys out there. But tune, stay tuned because the locker room. All right, boys, welcome back to episode two of the locker room. Week 1 of the NFL is in the books, and we're headed towards week three of college football. Before we get into it, we'll get into the records. I will say I started about the same as I did last year.
Starting point is 00:03:06 But let's talk about something near and dear to our hearts, which is Fireball. Fireball is a presenting sponsor. The Lockroom is presented by Fireball. Fireball is a perfect shot for game day, whether you're buying those sneaky little shooters before going to the stadium, or going big with fireball keg for your tailgate, whether it's pregame shot in a tailgate lot or a celebratory touchdown shot at a bar.
Starting point is 00:03:28 I will say this. When you don't know that a rhyme is coming while you're reading it, it really throws you off. It caught me for a second. But no matter what, it's guaranteed to ignite your game day, boys. How are we feeling? Feeling good, hey, should we read? I know we're sitting here.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I got Delaney's record. You might have my record. Delaney has Taylor's record. Should we read them off? We should read out each other did? I think we should. Don't start with mine. Start with Will's.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I'll start with Will's. Last week, Will went 11 and 13, 46%. Oh, let's go. 46%. Better than I thought it was. That was terrible on the pro football. A lot of gamblers out there who are true gamblers understand that. That's not a bad record.
Starting point is 00:04:08 You want to be 50, 53. You love to be north of 50%. After week one. Yeah. Because a lot of people see week one and they think the same things that happened last year are going to happen this year. Right. And it's about getting your feet. So I think that's a respectable number after week one.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I think so. What were the big hitters? Obviously we hit Nebraska. Yeah, you hit Nebraska, Illinois Money Line. Dog, I tried, I know JP. I hated the bet. I hated doing it because I think Kansas is a good football team. And obviously we'll talk about college football in the back half,
Starting point is 00:04:38 but I was seeing, I felt it, man, I'm telling you. And then you had Notre Dame versus NUI or NIU. I had Notre Dame? N IU, but you also had like this little typo in the sheet here, NIU, Northern Illinois University. You had them plus 28. Oh, yes, yeah. They ended up.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Again, we'll talk about that money line. I know. I know. Delaney, you went 11 and 15, batted 42%. You had Carolina Money Line. At New Orleans, lost. Okay. Ohio Money Line, you won that.
Starting point is 00:05:12 You also won the Duke. Yeah. Shout out Malik. Shout out Malik. Shout out Malik. Yeah, Riley Leonard. Shiley Riley. No, no, Malik Murphy was the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Even though the bet the boys parlay, the bet the boys parlay did lose, Christian McAfre didn't even play. So that should be a wash. That should be a wash. Last week we were all arguing about, or Delaney was arguing about Christian McCaffer. He wants Christian McCaffer. And I was like, hey, we're all going to get him every single week. I happened to get him this last week.
Starting point is 00:05:35 But he had Derek Henry, the king. He did score in the opener. I think the Ravens. I don't know where you guys obviously will read Taylor's record. Yes. We got a lot to recap from last week. So Taylor went 8 and 15, 35%. How you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:05:51 I think Michigan men around the world had about the same weekend. I'll give you that. It is on par with my weekend. Had a great experience over the weekend. But overall, if you looked at how my teams did and everything, it's 35%. Yeah, I mean, you hit the Steelers Falcon under. That was a win. The ASU, minus six and a half.
Starting point is 00:06:12 That was a win. And that Cleveland lost. I know. That was crazy. Shame on me. Bro. Shame on me because you had the Cleveland as well. No, I had, yeah, yeah, I went with Dallas.
Starting point is 00:06:24 It says here you went Cleveland minus two and a half loss. I should have had Dallas. But we were just talking before the show, the continuity between your picks here and then PFFs. Yeah. Just totally different. But dude, we should know better than to bet against the Cowboys early in the season. You don't start betting against the Cowboys until you get into January.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Not even that's when you start getting it. You kind of said that too. I know. But you just get so used to everything. I know, but honestly, man, as much as like, yeah, Dallas is a great regular season team, like we should have known not to bet with Deshawn Watson. I know. Like, Flacco, obviously, the defense is good.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Flacco was great last year when he came in for him. But for the love of God, Deshawn Watson is, I mean, he's absolutely stealing. He's too pent up. I mean, he got a lot of, he's too pent up. Well, he's not stealing because he gets a lot of lawsuits. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the out of the field stuff. The often field stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I saw that that. that another one just came to me. Yeah, right when he lost. Soon as he lost, he was like, get him. Yeah. Get him. Get his ass.
Starting point is 00:07:20 He's just not playing good, man. I know. I mean, you got, what, think about that. You got all that on the back of your mind. Was it Billy O. had the right offense for him down in Houston? So here's what I heard about Billio.
Starting point is 00:07:30 We talked about this on Bust with the boys a little bit. Is apparently Deshawn Watson couldn't pick up the playbook in Houston. And obviously, this is a take from a guy that said DeAndre Hopkins is not going to play last week. We ended up playing. Yeah. Yeah. That was breaking news for us.
Starting point is 00:07:44 breaking news for all of us. And I was told by an extremely reliable source. And I'm thinking to myself, okay, that'll be good to be, you know, first out on. Yeah. It didn't work out. I told you he was going to play. He played like 10 snaps at one catch. But anyway, rumor has it that Deshaun couldn't pick up the offense in Houston.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So Billy O essentially had to take all of Clemson's offense. Like, this is what we're running now. That makes sense. Make the guy feel comfortable. And now, Stefanski, correct? Yeah. Stephansky is trying to implement his offense, what they want to do on Deshawn. and it's just not clicking all things.
Starting point is 00:08:15 But you see guys like Joe Flacco coming last year off the couch and start lighting it up. Light it up. Light it up. So it's like there is obviously the common denominator is Deshaun. Yeah. We're not going to make that mistake. I mean, he guaranteed money.
Starting point is 00:08:29 So he's no way. Bro, he's the second highest paid quarterback in the league. And fully guaranteed. Yeah. And he was until four days ago. Yeah. And shout out Dak Prescott. Oh, yeah, Dak.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Just securing a massive bag. Anybody who gets a bag, whether they deserve it or not, congratulations. It was crazy they did it right before the game. He had to go out there and slaying that thing. And go nuts. I almost would not want that. I know because. You get paid like two days before.
Starting point is 00:08:54 You're just sitting there in your bed of money like, no, I got to go play. Now I got to take this out of my head. That's fucking tough. Hey, what did y'all think of Tom Brady's debut as a commentator? It was a tough weekend for all Michigan man throughout the world. You got to double down that. Listen, it was tough. But Tom Brady wasn't a finished product out of high school, out of college, until a couple years in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:09:20 He's a guy that's going to take this personally. He's going to take the criticism. He's going to keep working on it. And he's going to get better. Now I know Fox is like, you know, we just pay this to $300 million. And that's the product. Put him over Greg Olson, which by the way, Justice for Greg Olson is incredible. No, he is great at that.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yes. Greg Olson and then three year ago, Tony Romo. Yeah. We're all like phenomenal stuff. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. And it's just you could tell he was having a hard time. where do I pick my spots to talk?
Starting point is 00:09:45 And it's like, I think he goes in the next game. He should go the next game. Tell them to tell you to talk less. Like, just talk about the football game as if you're watching it. You're commentating. So just talk about the shit that's going on. And you're Tom Brady. You're Tom Brady.
Starting point is 00:09:56 You know everything about football. This is what I would do in the situation. But to me, and I think this takes away from Tom Brady's legacy. Me too. I think him being in the booth. I think him being in the booth, like, it's like, like, Michael Jordan. The thing about Michael Jordan is like, Michael Jordan played. And then got the fuck out of Dodge.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And everyone's like, yo, my man. Jordan. Jordan. He's just playing golf and doing this thing. But he has, like, this legacy that's like, yo, Michael fucking Jordan. Like, what's he up to? I don't know. He's a billionaire, though.
Starting point is 00:10:25 You think, is it fair to say the more he's on TV, the quicker Mahomes is able to surpass him as the goat? I know. Since it's hurting his legacy, it's bringing it down. It's like two different pillars of legacy. Like he had, like, this obviously is spilling over the football legacy. that Mahomes if he gets more Super Bowls if his stats are better
Starting point is 00:10:44 he'll surpass him now yeah we go but when it comes to this it's like there was a interesting draw to Tom Brady like you saw what he was doing off the field dating the models marrying the model like kind of all over the place he just won he won everywhere outside of a FTX
Starting point is 00:10:58 he won everywhere he won everywhere and so I feel like when you see him in the booth it's like and you see him uncomfortable yeah oh man who is this guy he's human he's human yeah but like But that's what he said. But you don't think Michael Jordan, you're like, that's what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:11:13 He's still invincible to us. We don't want him to be human. Let him be time to go. And he's going to get better. He's going to get better, dude. That's his, that's him. That's him. He's a goat.
Starting point is 00:11:22 He's the goat of all goats. I need, I know you all are in it. Y'all are committed to the Titans more than myself based on the years you guys put in. Well, that's crazy. Is my transition is Will Levin, is Willie Mayo going to get better? You don't think he started off the game, well? I feel like they played Will. I'm still on Willie Maeville.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But people are coming for his head right now. Yeah. Yeah. Because the last post he had, he hasn't posted like over two weeks. You saw the comments? I mean, actually, Alan, when I was getting my cut yesterday, I was telling him about the comments. And I didn't go back and look because like, that stuff bothers me.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I know. I know. I know. Especially that early. Because he played well last. But this is Tennessee. I'm saying like, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Y'all know that happens all the time. You know that happens. Like, they will. At what cost, at what point that things change? And it's the, here's the deal. I said it in a tweet. If the game was 30 minutes, we're talking about Titans being contenders this year.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah. The first 30 minutes of the game, they looked incredible. They looked incredible. You couldn't guess what they were going to do next. They did a great job intermediate. They took a couple of shots. They ran the ball really well.
Starting point is 00:12:24 It was a defense played incredible. Special teams now might be an issue. Bro. Specialties might be. Yeah. It was tough. Plot Punt TD, like good returns.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Oh my gosh. It was tough. But here's the problem. Patrick Mahomes is fucking up all these young cats. Because Pat goes out. there and does he's behind the back things, the look away, throws, like this backyard bullshit, longest yard reference, he does the backyard bullshit and then it works out for him because you, Will Levis, like he should have stepped, there was that one play where they're up 17, 16.
Starting point is 00:12:54 He should have stepped up in the pocket, don't know out, check down Charlie type situation, rolls out to the left, starts catching pressure as he's falling, just kind of rips it away. And it's like, bro, like your defense is playing incredible. He puts up a little muffin, guy catches it right in the basket and goes and scores a touchdown, and now you're playing from behind when the momentum has gone away from you so much. But those are things that are easily fixable. I think Willie Mayo is going to be straight.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Yeah, he talked about it. He said, you know, I got away with things like that last year. I ain't getting away with it this year. I got them things I can work on. He's going to change. I just feel like it's early. Tennessee always do that. You know, they felt like we were up.
Starting point is 00:13:29 We should have won that game. I mean, they gave that game away. Yeah, they gave it away. The Bears did not win that game. The Bears were essentially at the game and the Titans won it then lost it. Yeah. They were just kind of, They were also spectators.
Starting point is 00:13:39 You don't think the play calling got a little softer, though. I think they got conservative. They were playing not to lose. There you go. There you go. Right there. Yeah, but that's also first time, Brian Callahan, first time head coach. Yeah, I understand.
Starting point is 00:13:50 So it's going to take a little bit of time. Yeah, yeah, of course. Am I upset? I'm still a tight end fan. I still believe they're going to get back on track. That's just. Big bounce back week. I have with them hosting the Jets.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I haven't been my game of the week. Really? Yeah, I do. I do. Really. Before we get to the game, we'll suck Thursday night football. Yeah, let's suck some Thursday night football. Bill's at Dolphins, Dolphins' favorite, minus two and a half right now on the Draft King's
Starting point is 00:14:10 Sportsbook. The over under right now is 49. Delaney? Man, after what the bills did and that performance and them coming back to win. Yes, the Cardinals, but the Cardinals was playing great. They were showing up. The Cardinals were playing all right. They was playing good.
Starting point is 00:14:27 They were playing good in that first half. Same thing we said about the Titans. It's true. Yeah. But with that being said, I mean, Miami just getting Tyreek, Jalen and them boys getting the ball had over 100 yards both of them again I think they probably what 10 consecutive times both of them getting over 100 yards and receiving both touching the end zone I'm gonna have to go with the dolphins just with that minus two that spread I just think the
Starting point is 00:14:53 dolphins gonna pull away with it and that's just a good enough reason for me to choose the dolphins over the bills I think the dolphins can kill them yeah I'm with the dolphins I love that we're in a triple a stat that's a callback I think the dolphins get a triple a stat going on right now Look at Tyreek, like he's got all the juice in the world right now. Right now. Cuffs on the ground last week. Like he doesn't. Like he needed any more motivation.
Starting point is 00:15:14 You know that hurt too. Yeah. So hot Miami. And Miami started slow against Jacksonville. Jacksonville could be frisky this year, in my opinion. No. But Miami came out swinging in the second half. They settled in.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I feel like they just have way too much speed and creativity on offense with coach McDaniels. And the Buffalo Bills have question marks in the back end, bro. They have kind of like, you know, guys like myself on the back end. Not like big names. No, not white, not white. But just guys that, not with the biggest names, you got a guy going into like year 10 at corner. You got another young guy. You got DeMar Hamlin at safety.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I forget the other safety's name. Taylor Rap. I just feel like they have question marks on the back end. Again, like Arizona played well, but they came more. Arizona kind of lines up and plays more than versus like a Rams, a Miami Dolphins that do like jets, motions. They do a lot of creativity to get their speed going on the back end and then build play action off of it. I think they'll be able to hit shots deep on Buffalo and I legitimately, and they're at home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I think Miami can kill them. I like Miami. There's something to be said about middle of September in Miami when you're coming from Buffalo. Oh, my God. You get, you know, it's 75 degrees every single day in Buffalo in the summertime. And then you have to go down to Miami. It's sticky. It's swampy. A couple of guys are going to that massive strip club because all the boys do. The defense has some nastiness too.
Starting point is 00:16:35 You got Jail and Ramsey, David Long. Yeah. They got some cats and play with their hair off. David Long to underrated pickup, man. Very underrated. Yeah, I think the dolphins run away with this one, honestly. Yeah. The thing that's going to keep the bills in the game is Josh Allen.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Josh Allen. And that's why I also think it's probably an over game as well. I was thinking about the over-men. But then I'm sitting there looking at it. I was too within. And when I was watching the Arizona, Bill's game unfold, I'm like, man, in Miami playing the second half of the game against Jacksonville. Like, man, they can really, they could beat this team's ass.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah. It's only up to Josh Allen to keep them in it. Right. But Josh has that ability. Yeah, he absolutely has that ability. Yeah. But it isn't the weapons he did last year. With Diggs, we've been gone now and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:17:13 But is he hurt? Is Josh Allen hurt? Do he have a hand problem? It says on the sheet he does. Yeah, he has Josh Allen's hand. We do have our bills expert, Stephen Bond in the back. Left hand, is it something to monitor or something of concern? He said it's a left hand too.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Like, you don't need a left hand. He said he's 11 and 1 against the dolphins. Yeah, I mean, that makes you feel even better about the dolphins right now. Yeah. Yeah. Dolphins, I feel like are, they get themselves in a position for home field advantage coming to the playoffs. Like, that's a dangerous team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah, for sure. Because they're a team, too, that's been sniffing it, just like the, just like the Ravens for the last couple of years. And everyone's kind of like, yeah, they're good, but we're putting them a tier two still. Oh, yeah, they have insane speed, but when we get to the playoffs, it's kind of like, all right, you guys had a great regular season. Yeah. And Tula is a real, he's starting to be a real leader, though. You can see them, like, commune came with the guys. Learned to fall last year.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Poise. Yeah, man. Really wasn't panicking. Yeah, I like, I like dolphins. And the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Which I kind of love at times in gambling. Because last year, when I started to get behind it, this, like, and then my 35%, I just started fucking firing. Firing bets everywhere.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Doubling up. Yeah, let's get murdered or murder the game. And I think I'm going to go, I'm going to take dolphins. I'm also going to take you over in that game. I love that. Should we get to, who wants to start off game of the week? Game of the week, obviously our NFL later on in the show, it'll be trophy game of the week with college football. Delaney Taylor, you guys want to take game of the week
Starting point is 00:18:37 because mine will be talking about Titans. So I feel like that'll take up a little bit of... I can start it. Go ahead, Bob. So my game in the week is going to be the Saints at the Cowboys. I'm taking the Cowboys. I feel like that, the performance he put on, that paycheck he got, you got Citi, you got Cooks, you got Ezekiel.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Ezekiel. It's a tough word. Yeah, I feel like... Spell Ezekiel. Come on. Start with a A. No. I was just definitely a vowel though definitely about it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I just feel like those boys are going to come out. The Saints played great against Carolina, but it is a Carolina team. You know, that Carolina team is struggling. The Saints show they asked. They went out there, put them boys in the coffin. Yeah, the Saints are good. They did, but the Cowboys. Like, what's the stats on this game?
Starting point is 00:19:25 The spread is minus six and a half. And over under is 45 and a half. At Dallas? At Dallas. I'm with you. Yeah. Dallas at home last year, I know just even really all years, but they play really well at home and early in the year too.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, they had a crazy stat about also covering against the spread at home. It was like in the 80s or 90s percent. It was impressive. And that defense shows up at home too. Like the defense plays for whatever reason so much better. I mean, them boys is bawling. Yeah, hot boys. That's keep it real.
Starting point is 00:19:59 They're bawling. I love your reference talking about the Saints playing so well. but it's against a shitty Carolina Panthers team. But your Balsy pick last week was the Carolina Panthers. I know. Yeah, I trust me. That's the best part about Gailling. It ended up a big.
Starting point is 00:20:12 It was a big. It ended up a Bulls. It was a ballsy pick. And I thought they were going to do well. And he let me down. They let me down, man. I like that pick, though. I like Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah. I like Cowboys. Six and a half is a big line. It is. There's a few out there that have like six plus. Yeah. I mean, we can move the line if you all. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I don't know me. I'm all about stacking units. I'll do my game of the week because I know you're talking about Titans, but I got Browns at Jags. Jags are favored minus 3. I think the Jags are going to mop the floor with them. But the reason why it's a game of the week for me, it's a GBOT situation for both these teams.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Like the Cleveland Browns are on life support. It's the monkey meme with the thing in the nostrils. They are in an absolute shitstorm. Everyone's freaking out in Cleveland. And I think with Jacksonville, for the last couple of years, have done a not a great job of living up to expectations, and they've got to get back on track.
Starting point is 00:21:04 So I'm taking Jags minus 3. What's the spread? What's the over under? 40 and a half. I'm with you. I think Jacksville. I think Jaggs wax them double digits. And again, they played strong against Miami.
Starting point is 00:21:17 They just kind of fell apart in the second half because they were up pretty good coming out of the first half. And Cleveland, again, they're not facing an offense like they just saw Miami with all the little wrinkles that Coach McDaniels does. The screen. Yeah, like Cleveland, you kind of line up a little bit more in playing. Sean Wausers is not, I mean, he ain't. He ain't him anymore.
Starting point is 00:21:36 He's got money, though. He lost the juice. James Liston may come out there. He lost the juice. He has the juice and also lost the juice. Yeah, yeah. I'm with you, though. Yeah, I'm with you, too.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I'm riding with that. Triple A stat. I'm riding with that. Locks in the chat. Locks in the chat. Locks in the chat. Got to have it. Got to have it.
Starting point is 00:21:53 All right, game of the week, Titans. Yes, Jets at Titans. Jets are favored by three and a half. The over under on this one is 40 and a half. I think the X-Factor in this game is, what's his name? Cornbread, sweat. Yes. Sweat and Simmons, bro.
Starting point is 00:22:09 That's the X factor. If you can get pressure up the middle, Arden Key and Harold Landry, if they can get after them and kind of drop seven, I think that they can have success. Will Levis, you know, this Jets defense is nasty. They struggled with the Niners, but they started hot. They did. They have a lot of speed. They struggle against the Niners, but the Niners are like, the Niners are, they're a great
Starting point is 00:22:32 football team, bro. That's a good ball club. Who's been together for a while too. Yeah, man. Like that offense is high-powered. Yeah. I like the Jets. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:41 But more importantly, don't, Nick, Nick's, I do like the Jets minus three and a half. However, what I'm choosing in this game is the under, under 40 and a half. I think this is a big defensive game. Yeah, but Rogers and Wilson. The Jets are going to get after this title offense. Yeah, but I'm, I'm just saying if the Titans can fur somehow, put together 60 minutes. And their first 30 minutes,
Starting point is 00:23:05 if they can make that 60 minutes, if you play quality of 60 minutes, you win the game. Yeah. And it's it over. It breaks my heart that I'm trying to find it for the Titans right now. Defensively, they have some swagger.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Like, they have a lot to, like, hang their hat on. But just the mentality, when you know a quarterback like Aaron Rogers is coming to town, like you're almost thinking, man, hopefully the offense can play well.
Starting point is 00:23:31 You know what I mean? Yeah. Just that mindset being in the locker room, you're thinking, I hope the offense can play well. And the Titans historically win the games. We got our hands full with Aaron Rogers, Brees Hall, Garrett Wilson, but they're going to feel confident. It's legitimately, it's going to be on Will Levison that offense. And I just think the Jets defense is too is going to be nasty. The Titans defense is.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I know. I'm staying away from it. You stay away? I'm curling up a little ball. Go under. Are you doing under? Under is a good pick. You're going under?
Starting point is 00:23:58 I'm going under. See, I'm kind of, I think 40s. Such a low number. It is. but I could see this game being, I could see this game being like 20 to 10. Well, you said 40 and a half? Because I think both defenses can play well. I just don't think, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:12 And what they add up to is under 40 and a half. You know what I mean? Yeah, I'll do the under just for camaraderie. It scares the shit out of me. Also. Then you got to go Titans, right? No. You got to go.
Starting point is 00:24:27 You got to go Titans. I can't go Titans. We're in. We do this show in Nash, and we got three Titans. Legends on the pot. I love the Titans, but I'm out getting units, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:37 Don't be disrespectful. No, not disrespectful. Love the Titans. You're just being real. I'm just being real right now. I'm going to go under. You're going to go under? Everybody's right.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Locks in the chat. We got the AAA stat. We got locks in the chat. The good news is that we're either all going to do really well this week or really shitty together. Yeah, yeah. And that's cool. I mean,
Starting point is 00:25:03 at least we all have to. same percentage. Oh, no. This is going to separate us right here, though. Oh, no. What, what'd you got? Oh, I'm just looking at my ballsie pick and you realize that I fucked up. Oh, you read the wrong line. Look at the, yeah, I think the Drag Kings app a little wrong. That's all right. As we get to this ballsy pick, this ballsy pick is presented by fireball. So many things make football great, but you know is the best kicking the living shit out of your rival. There's absolutely no better feeling as an athlete or fan this week. And we've got. Your boy is sitting on my trophy game, which we will get to and talk about.
Starting point is 00:25:37 It's going to be Boston College in Missouri. Whoa. Fireball whiskey, call out a specific rivalry matchup, right? You had to call it out. NFL. NFL. But remember last week you was doing the – you said college and you confused the hell out of it. You were right.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Also, I said the whoa because of the – hey, that's later in the show. But you know what? You know what? Another – but a game I'm going to be talking about is Rams at the Cardinals. You've got a division rivalry. And Fireball Whiskey is here to give you the spark to ignite that rivalry season all season long. Grab your football buddy, buy around and reignite that rivalry game. Delaney, it wouldn't be right if you don't take a pool.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Let's get it. Right before our ballsy pick segment. Ah, man, I have two on here. Do you need another one? Yeah, I got you one. Which one of you? I got both of these. And they wonder why I can't spell by the end of the show.
Starting point is 00:26:25 You don't like either? No, no, no, I really like your first one, but you take that one. Are you sure? Yeah, because you're essentially just handing me something right now. I can talk about this one, though. go ahead take that one take that one i'm gonna do rams money line versus the cardinals divisional game yeah the cardinals played well in the first half it kind of fell apart in the second half against the bills i think the rams when they go to overtime with the lions this is the pissed off team with a lot
Starting point is 00:26:51 of talent and great coaches and for them to be underdogs against the cardinals the most like what bugs me about arizona being from arizona is that the fair weather fandom that takes place in that state. This picked personal. Being able to go to Michigan and seeing people just like totally be into their Michigan, even Michigan State,
Starting point is 00:27:12 Detroit, all their teams. Like they live and breathe it. And then you come down here and I get to share a bus with guys like Garrett and Jack that like when the Titans lose, they're on suicide watch. Like it's like you don't see that
Starting point is 00:27:24 in Arizona. That stadium's not going to be full and if it is, it'll be L.A. fans, which also in a fair weather state, but whatever. Yeah. I see the Rams winning this game.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I don't see them starting 0 and 2 in the season. I'm a big fan of this pick. That's why I dove into a bunch of research before the show started. You ready for me to scare you about this pick? Four offensive linemen starters injured. But everyone's always said, Offits of Limeon don't matter.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Pooka Nuktuah injured. Everyone's always kind of been like, you know, Offit the Laman, right? They always matter. I'm more mad at myself that I looked at my thing and I was like, oh my God, my balsy pick is minus one. 162. Colts.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Colts. Colts. What was I fucking thinking? But, bro, if any staff can figure it out, it's McVeigh. No doubt. And when they're playing against the Lions, they do, again, a lot like Coach McDaniels in Miami. They do things to get the ball out fast. They build play action creatively through jet sweeps.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Hopefully they do whatever they can to minimize giving up sacks. And again, you had a rare interception. in the red zone in the two-minute drill that Stafford through, which didn't happen, which doesn't happen with Stafford. A drop fourth down by Cooper Cup, dropped. Drop. It dropped the ball. That doesn't happen. Durant had an opportunity to put the nail in the coffin with an interception in the fourth
Starting point is 00:28:48 quarter and it didn't happen. Lions were just too big. They were somebody who just got, they understand how to play five full quarters. Like they have an offensive line that stuff. Montgomery is running at your neck at the end of the game. Similar like Derek Henry back in the day with the Titans. The two switch it up. But I do like, I do like.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I do like that pick. I do like the Rams. I like McVeigh and I like Stafford. Yeah. Well, we don't have to agree on the bossy pick, though, right? We don't know. We don't have to agree that. We're just talking about it.
Starting point is 00:29:15 That was one I had on here to talk about because I was kind of split. Because the other one I had on here was Buck's Money Line at Detroit. I know I came after Detroit last week with Rams at Detroit. And you just blazed Detroit a couple seconds ago. Yeah. They're tough. They're tough. They're tough, they're tough.
Starting point is 00:29:30 They're tough. They're tough. They're tough. No question. But if you watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that offense is a machine. Mike Evans, he's Benjamin Button, the dude is ageless. Did you see his first touchdown in the end zone? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah. I mean, it's crazy, bro. Evans is insane. Baker looked really good. He's poised. He's breaking sacks. He's throwing the ball. He's keeping his eyes down field.
Starting point is 00:29:54 He's going after dudes. He's got that swagger that he had from last year. I like the bucks at Detroit. Again, your boy swung and I missed on the Rams Money Line at Detroit. However, they took those boys in overtime. But I am nervous because the Detroit offensive line, they're big, they're ugly, they're nasty. They were moving the line of scrimmage in the fore. They were moving the line of scrimmage in overtime.
Starting point is 00:30:20 David Montgomery was pissed off. So it does scare me. But again, I like the Bucks. I think their offense is a weapon. They absolutely handled Washington last week. Going back to the Cleveland game, could you imagine Cleveland if they had Baker right? now. I know. I mean, they gotta be sick. That was, I mean, when that happened, everybody was, everybody was kind of divided and split on that, because Baker, it was like, I want to say that was
Starting point is 00:30:43 maybe his second or third head coach or offensive scheme that he was in at the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just tough. Baker, if Baker was a second round pick, they'd be elite. Yeah. But there was too much expectation of being in the first round. Yeah. That's, that hurts you. But I like the bucks, money line. Right now, it's in a plus 270 in the draft king sports book i mean that's a that's a ballsy pick ballsy okay my ballsy pick that's what y'all want to hear yeah we would love the show okay let me get y'all my ballsy pick so man i'm going it's the seahawks versus the patriots i'm taking the patriots coach maryl got those boys back we know we can say it the patrons how much chill hold up i'm gonna tell you it's plus three
Starting point is 00:31:28 Patriots. So Patriots plus three, they're the underdogs in this game. Oh, you're taking a money line. I'm taking the money line, though. But he wanted to know what was the spread. It's in Seattle, right? It's in New England. It's in New England. I was going to say that line would be way higher if they were in Seattle. Yeah, it's in New England. And I'm telling you, the Patriots is back. He got Jacoby Percette out there slinging the ball.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I just feel like this game is theirs. I think they're back. I think they're going to come up, show up. Seahawks didn't look too good last. Last week, this is a game they can take. The Seahawks looked all right. They was decent. That man threw a pick like straight out the gate. I get the bad plays out of the way early.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Last week, and by the way, week one of NFL, you can throw it out the window right now. That's basically extended preseason. It's very true. I'll give you that. Very true. Them dudes didn't play in preseason. None of them starters played. They get out there, it's like they're getting their feet weight for the first time.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I understand that. So you can never tell from week one, but I just think the Patriots look pretty good. I think they follow in that coach, you know, when you got a coach, you got a coach, like that that played the game, you usually go out there and ball for that dude. Let's not talk about that, though. Let's not talk about that one. They did not look. I even know I won that bet, but I mean, you know, let me not talk about it.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Raiders are not. I'm going to stay away from betting anything. Same. On the Patriots. Same because they did shock. They shocked. And there's a collate aspect to that.
Starting point is 00:32:53 But I did, we'll see, you know, we'll see what happens. Balsy pick, though. It's a very ballsy one. Ballsy pick. I was hoping to get a better one. Should we hit Rapid Fire? Rapid Fire. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Dialed in Rapid Fire here. First game, Rapid Fire. Raiders at Ravens. Ravens are favored by nine. Total is 41.5. Start with me. Raiders. I like the under 41.5.
Starting point is 00:33:21 I don't think the Raiders score a lot of points. Ravens. Bengals at Chiefs. Chiefs laying six. total is 47 and a half. Chiefs. Chiefs minus six. Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Bears at Texans. Texans favored by six and a half. Total is 45 and a half. Texans and the under. Caleb Williams ain't ready. I'm going Texans minus six and a half. I'm taking Texans as well. Falcons at the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Eagles favored by six and a half. Total is 47. Under. You know what, fuck it. Falcons plus six and a half. Eagles. Steelers favored by two and a half at the Broncos. Total is 36 and a half. Steelers minus two and a half. For some reason I just like Bo Nix. I'm going Broncos. I'm going Broncos plus two and a half. Steelers. Giants at the commanders, Washington land a point and a half totals 44. Commanders minus one and a half. Let's go with the commies one and a half.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Under 44 Can I go under 44? I kind of like that pick. Under 44. Can I also go under 44? Locks in the chat. Yeah, listen, of all these bets, I feel the best about the Raiders. Raiders can win that one.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Against the Ravens? Yeah. I don't know, man. I don't know. So Ravens look very bad against the Chiefs. Their operation was bad. Like, you might think Lamar's using up the entire clock, but that dude was frantic when that play clock was running down
Starting point is 00:34:58 trying to get the ball off, trying to check something late. I think they clean a lot of shit up. The Ravens, to me, looked like they were in a preseason game trying to figure it out. So I think they're going to, obviously they lost. They're going to feel bad all week long about it. Can't wait to get the taste out of their mouth hosting the Raiders. They could boat racing. What do y'all feel about players not playing in the preseason?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Like, I feel like none of those guys played the whole preseason, the Ravens, and they came out and they looked like it. When the Chiefs play every preseason, their starters play every preseason, and they came out and they look like it. They started off fast. I'm just a firm believer if you don't play in the preseason, week one is going to be a shit show, always. As a player, I love to. Right, right. Like, as a player and you know you get the game all.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I want to play. I always wanted to play. Man, that's why you're used. That's because you never practiced. Wow. Wow. Your three preseason games were practiced. He was always in shades.
Starting point is 00:35:56 yours? Big ass shoes. Yeah. You know, it is. Oh, my big shoe. Yeah. Well, it practice like once a week. Of course you want to get in on some of the preseason. I think the Ravens have way more issues on offense than we even expect besides like the preseason shitty, blah, ball, I think it's way more than that. The fear was, what are they going to do with Derek Henry? There's a recipe to make Derek Henry successful, but it's not the recipe that the Ravens are used to doing, spreading them out, gun with the back offset
Starting point is 00:36:26 that Derek's not used to turn your shoulders to the sidelines and then going into the line of scrimmage. They have to decide whether or not they want to be a team that is going to go under center and give Derek Henry the ball or keep a spread RPO type of college-ish offense. I don't think in week two they're going to be able to figure that out. I think they already have decided that hardball just came out yesterday in the presser and said we didn't bring Derek Henry in there
Starting point is 00:36:50 to give him the ball 30 times a game. Wow. I mean, he didn't play the last four, the fourth, the fourth quarter. I don't think he came in the game. Right, right. Yeah, because they were throwing the ball too much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Derek doesn't block. It's one of those things, too. He did have a nice block, though. He did. I just don't think it's the block. I just don't think it's the block. I think it's the routes. Because you see, they was motioning the other guy out,
Starting point is 00:37:10 had them running slants, choice routes, options. I just think it's that factor in the game. How would be interested to see, like, you know, once you have like three games of a sample size on when Derek comes in, the percentage of it being a run. Like I know defensively, those are things you start to dial in on.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Like, hey, it's like if Travis Kelsey, and forgive me for not knowing the second tight end, but when Travis Kelsey's in the game, if his hands on the line of scrimmage versus him being the off guy in a pariset, whether it's going to be play action or run. You know what I mean? If Travis Kelly, if receiving tight ends in the dirt, look for play action. If he's off, if he's back, that could be more run because they have the blocker down on the line of scrimmage. Like I feel like when you have, when Derek's coming in the game, I'll be curious after
Starting point is 00:37:54 like three games, like what that breakdown looks like on, hey, the percentages is like 85%. But Derek Henry's in the game, he's either getting the ball or it's a play action pass. Right. Right. And I think with the Ravens' offensive line, the right side of the offensive line, Max Crosby is going to fucking feast. Yes, bro.
Starting point is 00:38:12 He is going to feast on them. The Chiefs ate them up, bro. And the Ravens made a big mistake after two series, taking their right guard and taking them out and then putting in a rookie. and who gives up a sack to Chris Jones. Right out of the game. So you know that the least is already tight. So now you have assholes are tight.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Everyone that right side of the opposite line, Ronnie Stanley stud. I don't think Matt Crosby to be on him at all. But Max on that right side, we've seen him against the Patriots last year. He gets a chip by the running back and then ducks under the tackle and gets a safety. And which puts them over 20 points for the first time in however many games. So I think, I just think the Ravens have a lot more issues. I have a lot more issues. than they expected to have.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Because it is, Derek is such a unique player and you've got to give him the ball for him to have a level of success that makes people scared of you. Yeah, no, I'm with you. That's so true. Should we hit this bet the boys parlay?
Starting point is 00:39:06 Yeah. Let's do it. Bet the boys parlay presented by Draft Kings, whether you're cheering on your alma mater or just love the thrill. Oh, hang on. Who's right here? Draft Kings with the football season kicking off

I love the fact that we brought this over from slips and picks 500. I'd like to go first. That's okay with you. You're excited about it. I am excited about it. J.K. Dobbins.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Ooh. I didn't even, that was a good one. I think that's a good pick. You saw the style of hardball the way he was in this last game running the ball. I love the fact that in the post game in the locker room, he says he beat him a lot, but this one's for JK because J.K. Because J.K. is a Ohio State guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:21 And it's just fun. You see him smiling. low-key pissed off about it, but he's fired up because he knows he's getting the rock over and over again. Joe Alt. JP, I believe you showed me. Who showed me that? So JP showed me a clip of Joe Walt versus Max Crosby. Now I saw Joe at the Combine. He was telling me, legit, I don't want to go the Chargers for the Solbies. I don't want to play right tackle. Loves the Chargers, doesn't want to play right tackle. Gets drafted by the Chargers at 5 overall. He goes to right tackle first time in his entire life. And he did put on a clinic against an elite
Starting point is 00:40:53 pass rusher. Their offensive line is stacked. They have the ability to run the ball effectively. They got Herbert in there who can dish it all over the yard if he wants to. That is a good fucking team. And I was worried going into the season if people were going to buy into Harbaugh's uniqueness. But the best way to buy in is catching Ws left right and center. If you're catching a week one W and know that they're going to hand off the rock a bunch of times, J.K. has got to be sitting there in the meeting room this morning being like, yo, this is fucking awesome. Like, yeah, the O line is really the tip of the spear. Yeah. The tip of the speed. Yeah. The tip of at the spear and they're going to give it to them over and over again.
Starting point is 00:41:25 We're so used to in the NFL, guys just throwing it and the back's kind of getting out of the back field. You toss it over them, checkdowns, and give them a couple of runs, spice things up a little bit. Not at the charges. Not at the charges. That is a huge vocal point of their offense. And I think J.K. Dobbins, I feel really good about that bet.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Yeah, and Joe's a fucking beast. Joe Mixing. Ooh. Joe Mixing with the Texans. He got the ball 30 times over $150 with the touchdown. But knowing he's touching the rock 30 times. times. And Slowick's offense coming from Sanfran, you know they love to run the ball. And when you got a guy that is the feature back. And people thought, you know, when we were even going through fantasy drafts, I'm trying to do my research for fantasy draft, people are talking about Seljo Mix and Sele Joe Mixing is getting older, wearing tear, yada, yada yada, dude touch. Dude Touched. Dude touched. He touched, yada, yada. Dude touch. Dude touch. Dude. He touched. He averaged. Give me the calculator. What is that? Like five yards. Give me the calculator. What is that? Like five yards. It's got to be five yards. Okay. If you get one 50 and 30 touches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I love Joe mixing. I love Joe mixing. I'm going barking with the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah, that's a great. Hey, this is a good parlay. Plus 513 on Drive Kings. Lock it in right now. Lock it, lock it, lock it in. Lock it in. Lock it chat. Lock it in.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Sequin, Joe Mixing, Dobbins. I'm obsessed with this. Can we just get a quick moment of silence? Yeah. For CMC? Always in our hearts. It breaks my heart. I need him on the field.
Starting point is 00:42:48 He's on my fantasy team. I need him on the field for white guys everywhere. Most white guys need him on the field for white guys everywhere. Shout out Cooper, Zuzine, there you see his mullet? Denai. Looks phenomenal. Actually, it's a lot of white cornerbacks this year.
Starting point is 00:43:03 So, I mean, you know, it's a... Hey, white guys are making a comeback in sports. What they say, white boy summer or something like that? Something like that. Yeah, something like that. White boy summer? White boy season. White boy season.
Starting point is 00:43:15 And it's like, yeah, like people are going to take this club and be like, oh, Taylor, blah. No, dude. Forever. Forever. White guys. You walk into a locker room as a white guy. You're behind the eight ball. You're the minority.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Not really. Not really. Because news lead, they're the quarterbacks. I was going to say the bench. Yeah, the quarterback. Yeah, the office alignment. Oh, yeah, if you're playing DB, definitely, you bottom of the pole. Yeah, you're a little nervous.
Starting point is 00:43:39 You're a little nervous. You're a little nervous. No doubt. If you ain't the slot guy, you're a little nervous. Shout out. Shout out. Let's take a piss, and we will be back with college football boys. Welcome to the college football portion of the.
Starting point is 00:43:58 locker room. It is a great day, a great day and a great week to be in Nebraska Cornhusker. Tough week for Michigan. Tough week to be a Michigan Wolverine. We'll obviously cover a little to that. But guys, Husker football is fucking almost back. I say almost. I feel like it's back. I'm just going to say almost because I feel like we have a trap game this week against Northern Iowa. Track game? A trap game. Oh, I think you're a track game. Trap game in one of those things. It's easy to show up for the opener. Dylan Railo's first start, it's even easier to show it for Colorado. Like you were at the atmosphere.
Starting point is 00:44:34 The environment was insane. But knowing you got, again, a tough Illinois football team on the schedule next week, it's easy to like get a little comfortable with everybody patting you on the ass against northern Iowa. Like I think they're going to win no matter what. But if you only win this game by a single, like a single score, that's where I think it's like a trap game. The guys just don't show up. Yeah. The guys just don't show up in Hank fucking 50.
Starting point is 00:44:58 50 on them. It's a test. This team does not belong on the football field, Nebraska. They always they could wear an hand on the side of their helmet, and we got to treat them as such. There's finally an expectation in Lincoln. Right. Oh, yeah. And it's like living up to that expectation now. You need to cover against Northern Iowa. Yeah, I think the spread there might be 30. That is crazy. That's got to be a great feeling. It's a great feeling. I know. But damn. I'm not touching it. It is a great feeling. I am starting to, everybody would call me crazy, but I don't think it's crazy to talk about Nebraska playing for a college football playoff spot. Oh, I'll give them that for sure.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Yeah, I mean. The way they look. They keep playing the way they have, and we'll just, we'll just pretend that they lose to Ohio State. It's a one-lost Nebraska team with the prestige of the end. Yeah, I could see you sleep it in there 11 and 12. You think they'll lose to Ohio State. I mean, I think you got two undefeated teams at that point. Listen.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yeah, I can give you that. The only team I hate Ohio State is Michigan State. They look fucking good. I mean, they paid all the money in the world. Chip Kelly's offense. They're putting points on the board. their defense is playing well, that's a good, that's a good ball club. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:00 That's a really well-oiled ball club right now. Yeah. So you got it. You just, we'll get there when we get there. Right. But if we're just doing a grand picture, we'll just say it's a loss for the argument and say you can still make the playoff. Yeah. What is that?
Starting point is 00:46:11 11 and 1. We're playing for the Big Ten championship. Yeah. I play in Ohio State again. If we're talking grand scheme. We could very well see a Nebraska, Michigan, a big-ten championship game. Let's hope we see a possible. He's talking about Michigan.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Yeah. He said that right. They got a win out. You have to win out to do that. They have to win out, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But a one-lost team, I mean, Oregon hasn't looked great. They play Washington.
Starting point is 00:46:33 They kind of already own Washington. Minnesota. Big Ten championship would be unbelievable. That would be insane. That would be the Big Ten taking over again. Yeah, I mean, the Big Ten championship is always Big Ten teams. Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:46:46 That's a good point, though. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, big 10 teams are in the championship. Big Ten might be taken over. Right. But it's not crazy to think.
Starting point is 00:46:55 We're owning it. We own the cultural football landscape. Yeah, no, I mean, Big Ten is showing up this year. I think if you guys just win by 28 points, even if you all don't cover. It's a good game. Texas, Michigan. That's SEC versus Big Ten. I know, but that's only, that was.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Listen, we, yeah, we fell asleep with the wheel in that one. Colston Loveland gets caught, you know, catches the ball in stride. It's a totally different game. There's no question about that. I don't know if you might stop in Quinn. You were in that office. I don't know, dude. You never know what a spark does.
Starting point is 00:47:20 You saw the Bears. The Bears were worse even than the Titans last week, and then all of a sudden a couple sparks happened. Yeah. Interception, this, that, and the other. That's all you need. Get back on track game for you. GBOT.

Starting point is 00:48:47 Off at these states, go have a little fun with it. Love that loophole. Trophy game of the week, I want to start off by saying, and I hope this age as well, I feel so good about my college picks. I don't feel as strongly about my NFL picks. I want to tell the people that...
Starting point is 00:49:01 You've seen the more clear in college around? I'm seeing everything, and it's all kind of coming to me. As long as I didn't make a mistake like I did on my Balsey pick, I feel really good about these picks. My trophy game of the week is Oregon versus Oregon State, the Civil War. Oregon's won the last three. They're split in the last six games as far as against the spread. but Oregon hasn't looked good.
Starting point is 00:49:26 They were losing to Boise State, Idaho. The spread is 16 and a half. What you're about to do right now? Rivalry games. I'm taking Oregon State to cover 16 and a half here. I'm taking Oregon State. Dan Langing, like, listen, I was not able to go to the spring tour this year with Oregon. The way everybody in this room who was out there talks about it,
Starting point is 00:49:45 it makes me a bigger fan of Dan Langing in Oregon. This is strictly a business move right here. The way Oregon has looked, I got to feel good about the beavers coming. in and covering 16 and a half. Their offense has not been clicking the way they need to at the ducks. I feel real good about that and the points are only 50. I've thought about dipping in that over.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Dipping it. Dive in. I don't want to dive. Dive in, bro. I feel really good about 16 and a half. I feel really good about 16 and a half. That's my job. I'm not touching that game.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Oregon, like, I thought that it would mop the floor at Boise State. Like, yeah, they had a good, Boise has a good running back. But I'm bothered and I'm disappointed right now. in the Oregon Ducks. It's a team I want to root for. You know, Dan Lany, you know that's my guy. If I got married tomorrow, he might be up there right next to me. Oh.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Type of guy. Behind you. All good. All good. Continue. Oh, co-best man. Just do it by height again. Yeah, you got to speak back.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Yeah, yeah. Guy you just, man. He's a Missouri guy. I just. Watch as a show, fan of the show. Yeah, I'm bummed. I'm bummed about Oregon right now. I'm staying away from that game.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Right. Yeah, me too. But you're staying away from the game because you're a fan of Dan, not because. Like, I want to, to see Oregon play well. I want to see Oregon win. I want to see Oregon win. I listen, if they covered, it's like, I'm happy because Dan is a fan of Bustin with the boys. I love that. Like I said, strictly business move. Yeah. I bet this game. And I'm staying away because I bet on him in week
Starting point is 00:51:08 one. I doubled down. I doubled down because obviously I talked directly to Coach Lending last week. I doubled down and lost that one. I just, I have to stay. I have to remove my heart from this situation. I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't do that. But it'd be like, like, I bet with my heart last week in Michigan. And every part of me was like, man, Texas could mop these dudes. And I did it the year before with Nebraska all the time. Like, I've got to stop betting with my heart. Yeah, you have to. Your maturity is outstanding. Go ahead. My trophy game. Well, you know, you go. You want me to go? You go ahead. No, I was just going to say, I'm not, I'll take, I'm not bad. Go ahead. You got it.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Boston College. Boston College is at Missouri this week to spread. Missouri's favorite by 16 and a half, the overrunner is 54. I like Boston College. I think Mazoo's a good football team. Mizzu's got a shot to be competing for the college football playoff. But Billy O is a college football coach, and he has those Boston college kids a little brainwashed right now. They come out, they beat Florida State 28, 28, 13.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Who's a bad ball club? Bad ball club. Bad ball club. But how do you said, there's Duquesne? Yeah. Duquesne. Do what? Duquesne.
Starting point is 00:52:20 They mop him 56 and nothing. They mop up 56 and nothing. This team can score some points. Billy O, I love him as a college football coach. I think they're going to Missouri. Obviously, I'm taking the point 16 and a half, but I think they keep it within that two-score range. I like Boston College at Missou.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I hate Bill O'Brien. I think he's a little bitch. I think he's got a button chin. He talks shit about me constantly when he was at Houston. The players that came over said he talked shit. He and I would talk shit during games. That's why I'm staying away from the game. be right.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Ooh. So there's a little bad blood. Yeah, I think Bill, I think Bill. I think the way. There's a little bad blood with Billy O.
Starting point is 00:53:01 You'd like the new chairs. I do like the new theater. Getting like, college football just hites me up. NFL seems too real, too close to the vest. Like you really got to be dialed in and you feel a little more professional.
Starting point is 00:53:11 College football's way more fun. It's more fun to be like, yes, emotionally unstable. Yeah, college football, you can be emotionally unstable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Like BC's probably going to do what Will just said. I was half listening because I was just thinking about how much hating, I hate Bill O'Brien. Bill was at Penn State when I was at Michigan said nasty things He was at Houston when I was at Tennessee said nasty things I had Ben Jones and a bunch of guys come over from Houston be like
Starting point is 00:53:33 Bill O'Brien says this about you says that about you I gave Bill O'clock fucking bird we ran a power flip and Derek Henry took it down their sidelines He's a trophy game between Taylor and Billy O this week He openly told me to go fuck myself one time like it's just Go muzoo minus 16 and a half Honestly You will fuck Billy O, bro, go Mizzute. I just, I'm just going to stay, I'm just going to stay up.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I'm just going to stay, I don't want to bet against you. I don't want to bet against you in an approach. It's like, it's like you with Dave. Okay. It's like you with Dave. Like you don't want to go ham on Dave because you know I'm going to catch lots of strays. Right, right. And it hurts.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I've told you you can if you want, but I'm not going to bet against him. I'm not going to, but I'm not going to bet it because. All right. I love that you got that off your chest though. Yeah. At first I'm thinking, God damn, what's happening? He's a bitch. Now, now the context of it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Honestly, college football, it's just too many teams. And, hey, it just throws me for a loop. College football is not it for me. It's not fun. It's not exciting. It's just. But tell people why they should take your trophy game of the week thing. Now, let me get minds going.
Starting point is 00:54:46 You know what I'm saying? I'm going to take 20 Arizona versus 14 Kansas State. And I'm taking Arizona. And why I'm taking Arizona? Because Noah Fawi Farti? Yep, that's a perfect pronunciation. I don't know if that's how you say his last name. He's a beast.
Starting point is 00:55:00 And McMillan, and the receiver McMillan is a beast. Have y'all seen what that man been doing? He's been going out there putting it on a show. I just feel like they're going to come out there. They're going to upset Kansas State. Get the job done. So I'm taking Arizona. That is my trophy game of the week, Arizona versus Kansas State.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Arizona, get it done, baby. Your hometown. Shout up Mark Weiss check. I don't know who that is. Yeah, shout out the boy, Mark. I'll give you something, too, because I want to get in on this game. Shout out the boy Bryce, Brooke Hart. He DM me.
Starting point is 00:55:31 He DMs me his picks every weekend. Did he have that pick? He's pretty nice. He likes Kansas State Arizona, the over. Both teams with low scores last week, which helped bring the total down, but they both have the potential of high-powered offenses. They just haven't performed yet. So I love the over.
Starting point is 00:55:46 What's the total there? The total is 58 and a half. 58 and a half. I'm rocking with my boy Bryce. Shout out Bryce, man. So you're going the over in that game. Going over. Because I know Arizona had a little struggle with NAU.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Shout out the boys in Flagstaff, Arizona, Lumberjacks. Played there one time. But they came back and got it done. Yeah, they came back and got it down. There's a lot of expectations on Arizona this year. I don't think they're the best team in Arizona. Arizona State is a...
Starting point is 00:56:09 Arizona State is also... The Valley is ignited. But they're not ranked, though, I don't think. Arizona State, are they? What's they got to do with anything? They're not ranked this year. They're coming. Not yet.
Starting point is 00:56:18 They just beat Mississippi State. They did, but they're not ranked. You know what? They play the last game of the year. We'll see. Yeah. Tier talk? Tier talk.
Starting point is 00:56:27 All right, here's how we threw a little wrinkle in tier talk. We can't share the same one. So once it is picked, once a tier three team is picked, we cannot use that. We have two or three to kind of play with. Who wants to start off the tier three? I'll start because I just touched. I just touched by talking about ASU. I know.
Starting point is 00:56:42 I was playing Texas State. ASU's favored by one and a half. The points are 60. I don't know about that one. But I think ASU, Dillingham, Chaparrali, Charlie Regal, special teams coach, my head coach in high school, they're igniting the valley. And Tempe is a place that if they could just have enough success and start to get some of these big money people to start throwing money at NIL deals, Arizona State could be a good
Starting point is 00:57:10 fucking ball club, like a real ball club. And I think they take advantage of Texas State in this game. They win that one. Especially with that running back, Cam, Scott Tabooey or whatever, how you say I hope that's the real name. How you say his last name, Cam's? You guys. it. Yeah. Hey, that man, white running back. Yeah, and we coached him in the spring game. He was my running back. He was nice. He touched a ball, what 30 times that game? Yeah. They're like, hey, we need to get him out. It's a spring game. We need to get him some rest. He's like a starter. I was like, I need him in there. We need him. We're going to win this game. All right, since you took that. I'm going to go. I have a couple on here. And again,
Starting point is 00:57:47 if you're new watching this, tier three is an unranked team. You're taking an unranked team in this. you're going, anybody ranked from 11 to 25, and our tier one team, you're taking a game ranked between 1 and 10. But my tier 3 is going to be, and again, strictly business decision, strictly business Arkansas State to cover, plus 23 and a half at Michigan.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Michigan's winning the game, but I think what we've seen out of the offense, do they have the power to cover? Wait, who you just say? Arkansas State? Yeah, plus 23.5. Here's what I think you're wrong. And like it's Arkansas State.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Every fan that left that stadium, which was a lot of fans that left after half time. They're very disappointed. They're very disappointed. Nobody's going to be excited about Arkansas State. They're going to comment. It's just not going to be. And I think you got a lot of question marks right now. I think the Michigan football team needs to look themselves in the mirror at nighttime
Starting point is 00:58:41 before they go to bed and question whether or not they believe that they're a Wolverine because they're not playing Wolverine football right now. I strongly believe that. Can I tell you something? defensively. You got too many dogs on that team, bro. They all need to be checking themselves. Can you say something? Yeah. You're not wrong. Because it's really, I'm not like it's... Here's where I think they can cover. I want you guys to turn it around.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I think they can cover because I think we'll be able to score that many points. And I think the defense is going to do really well because Wink does a lot of exotic blitzes. Now, Quinn Ewers, when he comes in, he's a great elite Heisman caliber quarterback. Yeah. That has probably been taught to differentiate single high, too high, nickel, cap. to those types of things. I don't know anything about Arkansas or Kansas State. I don't know anything about them.
Starting point is 00:59:28 But I'm assuming that they probably aren't going to be able to handle exotic blitzes the way that Texas was able to. And they'll hopefully put a goose egg up. Texas looks good, man. Listen, if we're talking about strictly accountability, because I am a Wolverine through and through. I love these boys. Leaving that game, it broke by.
Starting point is 00:59:45 A piece of me died on Saturday. Mason Graham is one of those guys that needs to have accountability. It was the second quarter him walking while the rest of the defense was having a conversation I'd dapp him up right after halftime
Starting point is 00:59:58 he seemed very lethargic in his attitude about going into that game you need him to be more of a leader in the decision just from the two things I saw in that game
Starting point is 01:00:05 just strictly accountability but I think Sharon Moore is going to get these boys right he didn't get those boys right obviously that broke my heart for you to say that but you didn't say anything wrong business decision
Starting point is 01:00:15 like you said I was looking at South Carolina plus seven against LSU South Carolina came up swinging last week against Kentucky. They cleaned up the offense a little bit more. I love, I'm going to be tuned into that game because they got a shot, man.
Starting point is 01:00:30 South Carolina's got a shot. My tier three is going to be UNLV at Kansas. I'm taking Kansas minus seven. The over under is 58, but I'm taking Kansas. That boy, Ricky White, the third receiver, he can have a day out there. He can have a day. So I'm going to take those boys to beat UNLV straight up. which they should.
Starting point is 01:00:53 I mean, they're favored to win the game by seven. Hang on, hang on, hang on, what are you taking here? Kansas.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Kansas to cover, right? Yeah, you said straight up. That confused me. No, yeah, yeah. Like you was going to go Kansas money line. No, yeah,
Starting point is 01:01:05 okay, but that ain't the word you used to get money line. Got you. Got you. I don't know anything about either of those teams. Be honest.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I do like the fact that UNLV does a slot machine when they get a pick. Oh, yeah, they do. That's fun for me to see. Did you see that, was it the football team
Starting point is 01:01:18 Or was it the cheerleaders? UNLV. Go off horny will. What they do? No, no, it was dudes. Oh, go off for a movie. Wait, dudes. He's doing that little TikTok dance, UNLV?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Do you? Was that UNLV? Oh, I didn't see that. Let me see. You're talking about when they were talking about Sanders? Nah, there's something out there. There's something. I thought it was UNLV.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's a different team. Like dudes doing the TikTok dance? Like cheerleaders? We can cut this part. I want to find it. Oh, that was the cheer slot. It's like God a cheer spot.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Is it UNLV? That was a UNLV. Oh, okay. Yeah, the guide cheer squad for UNLV. Yeah. Give me Kansas. Yeah, they look a little zesty. Give me Kansas.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm going to, you know, I'm not going to run. I'm not going to touch that game. Actually, I am. Give me Kansas minus seven. Yeah, cool. Kansas is a good team. They are a good team.
Starting point is 01:02:06 They are a good team after being put in their place a little bit there. Yeah, they got checked. Yeah, they did. I'll start it off with going to tier two. I'm going to go Tulane at Oklahoma. The spread is Oklahoma's favorite. My is 13 and a half. overrunners 47 and a half. I'm taking Oklahoma to cover minus 13 and a half. Tulane fought their
Starting point is 01:02:24 asses off against Kansas State, an emotional loss for them. I think they're a little tired. They're a little empty in the tank because you're going against an Oklahoma team who had way too close of a game against Houston. That's going to feel like a loss all week long. They didn't score over 20 points against Houston. I think they make it rain out here against Tulane and I like them to cover minus 13 and a half against Tulane. Add Oklahoma too. If anybody wants in on that, I love that. That's locks in the chat. That's locks in the chat. I'll go locks in the chat. I'll take that. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to do that one anyway. I had that was my second one. That was your tier two? Well, no, and just in case,
Starting point is 01:02:56 I had multiple just in case, and that was a team. Got to get your board ready. So I'm a ride with you on that. And then my tier two, I'm going to go Oklahoma State to cover minus 20 and a half at Tulsa. That scares me. Why? I don't know. Oklahoma State. Hey, who did they play last week? Arkansas. Arkansas should have beat them. They should have, the key word. But this is Tulsa. Like, come on, man. I feel you.
Starting point is 01:03:23 That's a lot of points. That is a lot of point. Y'all want to move the line? Coup. Coup, how do we feel about Oklahoma State? They're going to cover for sure. They're going to cover for sure. Cooper Com stop.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Against Tulsa, right? Cooper Comlock's pick of the week. Yeah, they. Cooper Comlock, Oklahoma State. They're covering minus what, 20 and a half? 20 and a half. All right, there you go. We can move the line.
Starting point is 01:03:43 We're not moving the line. Yeah, we got to stop doing that. You mean we can move the line. We got to stop doing that. You can move the line. It's a thing. I know it's a thing, but not on the show. Not on the show.
Starting point is 01:03:58 My tier two is going to be Utah Utes, minus 20 versus Utah State. Now, this one hurts me in a little bit because my first offer in high school was from Utah State. Yeah? Didn't even know it was coming. Springball, coach walks up to me, shakes my hands, says, hey, we'd love to have you. I think he's just giving me a compliment. Head coach Charlie Regal comes up to me. Says, how's it feel?
Starting point is 01:04:18 I said, what you mean? He goes, oh, they just offered you a scholarship. Right then and there, I knew the boy. was going in the NFL. Not a big deal. But I'm taking Utah. Minus 20. Minus 20. What you got? What you got? I had that one too. I'll see what your ballsy pick was.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Oh. I had that one too. Yeah, Utah minus 20. Utah is just, they're a good program every single year. They got a lot of the polly cats in there. Any time they're playing a team in the same state as you. It's a personal game. They're outmaned and outgun to the Utah state category. Utah is going to take this one and they're going to cover minus 20. I like that. I had that one as well. You want to kick off tier one?
Starting point is 01:04:57 Or is it you taking the tier one? I could take the tier one first. I drive the first in tier two. So, you know, I got to take my tier one, number one Georgia Bulldogs at Kentucky. I'm taking the Bulldogs. I mean, come on. You just, the Bulldogs looking really good.
Starting point is 01:05:14 You got Carson Beck out there slaying it, doing his thing, controlling that offense. I'm sticking with those boys. So I'm taking them. Carson, Beck's a quarterback? Carson, what, Big? Beck. Beck's a quarterback for Georgia?
Starting point is 01:05:25 Yeah. Is he sure about that? I'm definitely sure about that. Riley Leonard wishes he was on Duke. Hey, but I told you, Malik, I gave Malik his props. Malik was actually a quarterback. He went nuts. Keep doing your thing.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Add a boy. Keep getting after him. Sorry that I disrespected you, man. But he was a transfer from Texas. So, you know, they didn't have a lot of information on them at that time. Yeah, I'm with you. Not a lot of info out there on the internet to know the quarterback was for Duke last week.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Minus 24. Georgia is minus 24 against Kentucky. I think they cover that. I agree with you. That was in my tier one as well. It was when I was doing my couple of picks. I think Georgia's a good looking ball club. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:09 In Kentucky, after last week, I think they're dead. Yeah. You want to draft second? Y'all go, my tier one, probably the best team in college football. Texas Longhorns They're minus 35 and a half against UTSA Which is University of Texas
Starting point is 01:06:24 San Antonio At San Antonio So many colleges in Texas It's crazy University of Texas at San Antonio There's no A in the middle of the U The T and the S I was just telling you what they said
Starting point is 01:06:35 Okay at San Antonio We'll do that Texas covered They covered their spread in the last two games If you guys are wondering 62 to zero against Colorado State And obviously They did well
Starting point is 01:06:46 Last week So, Quinn yours is a good player. Off the line, solid. I hate the fact that I'm having to talk about this. Texas. The team that mopped this. Texas is money minus 35 now. It's just business.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Onward. Alabama minus 16 at Wisconsin. I think Alabama beats the shit out of them. Wisconsin is not like, they haven't made a jump from year one to year two under Fickle the way I thought that they would. I don't feel. like Wisconsin, they're kind of getting away from being you got five hogs with that line of scrimmage is bigger than most in the NFL. They're not utilizing that. They're a little
Starting point is 01:07:26 more pass happy than the Wisconsin have passed. And I think Alabama, bro, is like, I forget who Alabama played last week, but you got Tyler Booker laughing at these kids that are walking by him. I mean, they're walking by him in the end zone and he's pointing and laughing at them. Like the confidence that Alabama just had the mentality that they have, and it seems like they haven't missed a beat with their new staff. I like Alabama to go on Wisconsin. Madison's going to be rocking for literally two series. And Alabama's going to shut them up.
Starting point is 01:07:57 I love Alabama minus 16 here. I also had Ole Miss minus 23 at Wake Forest. I think Ole Miss is a wagon. Yeah. I'm sure nobody took Tennessee versus Kent State. That is. Just too high for my taste. It was a high.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Tennessee covers, though, man. They cover every time. And Nico looks really good. I'm surprised nobody's touched. Colorado State, Colorado. I was going to in my tier three. I think Colorado State wins that game. Do we know the spread there?
Starting point is 01:08:24 Seven. I mean, Nebraska. It's seven? It's seven. Nebraska broke this team. Listen. They were arguing. And I didn't get a chance.
Starting point is 01:08:33 I didn't get a chance to talk about this. We didn't get a chance to talk about it because Merck's kind of came on in the middle of our intro of the show. Yeah, we got to talk about, yeah. Colorado is the most dysfunctional, unorganized piece of shit program I've ever. had the misfortune of watching in my life. It looked like a Juko squad band of misfits, all individuals playing with each other. They have two players. They got Hunter and they got Shadoor. And I hate the press conference of Shador Sanders talking about how many times Raola get touched. It's just constant finger pointing, zero accountability. Coaches are fighting each other left, right,
Starting point is 01:09:08 and center. If you want to be like the 90s Miami Hurricanes, if you want to be that team, you got to be good. when you're good and you take the penalties and you still drop 40 on cats and give them zero and everyone's fucking hooting and hollering and parting that's cool that is a thing that we can all get behind and be like no Miami's sick when you suck and you act like that that's bitch made shit yeah yeah and Travis Hunter throwing that tantrum yeah I mean if I'm Travis my god his his conditioning is one of one I've never seen he's a specimen he's on the Lance Armstrong protocol. It's crazy. Incredible.
Starting point is 01:09:46 It's unbelievable him playing that many snaps and just like sprinting, cross-field, chasing guys, covering them, and then he's not even panting. I know. It's incredible. Shador. It has the energy to just be pissed off. Has the energy, yeah, to throw it to attention. I can't do that.
Starting point is 01:10:03 But it's like you can't have two good players and act like that as a team. The offensive line is garbage. They're bad. Their defense is, you know, garbage. Yeah. But, like, yeah, you should do a protection. Are they going to do better? Probably.
Starting point is 01:10:18 But it's just your team sucks. And when you act like that, it's such a terrible look. He definitely hurts himself in draft boards because he is a really good player. Yes. Well, him going and talking about the all-line. You never do that as a starting quarterback. I'm telling you, man, Nebraska broke this team. They broke this team.
Starting point is 01:10:36 They mopped us last year. You talk about making jumps from year one to year two. There's a little bit of like, damn. Because, you know, I root for Dion. Like when he came in, he was coaching a high school, coached at Jackson State. He's going to Colorado. He's talking big game, like telling those boys the honest truth. Like, you know, we got to get guys out of here.
Starting point is 01:10:53 I'm bringing in my Louis. You just think this is like he's got, whether or not people agree, disagree, whatever. But he has this oar about him to where you think he's going to make a big jump from year one to year two. And this team might not even be. They're going to fight to be a four-win team. And it just, he keeps composed, Dion does. but it just feels like the attitude and the swag he had last year about motivating this team. This year feels like he knows it's his sons last year and Travis is like they're going to go to the NFL
Starting point is 01:11:22 and it's probably his last year. You can tell like he's just staying calm and hey, we got to do this. I thought they did a pretty good job here and there, but it wasn't the same. It's not the same Dion that had the hunger as he was climbing the coaching line. If you were a player that's not Travis or should do her in that thing and you're hearing a press conference of your head coach saying having those two players, like parking a Lamborghini outside of a trailer. That would hurt me.
Starting point is 01:11:45 That's that composure to me. Like, he might say it calling. You know what I mean. But he's being wildly disrespectful to his players. Wild. How you need guys to come together when your head coach is essentially shitting on all of the other guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:56 22 starters. He's shitting on 20 of them. Yeah. How are you as an old line when you hear your quarterback talk like that in the press conference? I might let one go. First play. I might let go ahead ball.
Starting point is 01:12:06 This one's for you. That shit is so fucking disgusting. Devin Gardner. Has that ever happened before in your career? No. You feel like guys have ever felt like, I've never seen a quarterback. I don't think there's ever been an opportunity for coaches to let quarterbacks talk like that. Ever.
Starting point is 01:12:22 I've been on bad football teams. Ever. I've been on bad football teams in the NFL and in college. We gave up negative 45 rushing yards against Michigan State and all they did was when barrel cross. That's all they fucking did. Devin Gardner was literally picking himself up the ground, pulling teeth out. It was so bad. He got up in the press conference.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Devin and I didn't have a great relationship. He and I got in a fight a Thursday before a Saturday game. Still got up there, took accountability. When we all know, the opposite line sucked that game. But it's like, you can't be talking about that. Yeah, I've never seen it. I've never heard it. Ever.
Starting point is 01:12:53 It's crazy because you, you says, I'm like, I'm a fan of Deion. I think Deon's the fucking man. It's awesome. But, like, watching this, it's like, bro, you, he fucked up as far as leadership. Just seems like they're packing it in. I mean, behind closed doors, yeah, you can address that issue about, Oh, the line ain't blocking ain't doing that. For sure.
Starting point is 01:13:11 You know how those meetings get. You do not do it for the world to see that. You get in the team meeting room. How am I supposed to tell Shadur, step up in the pocket when we see this guys? Yeah, you do that into me. But that's like in-house. Yeah, in-house. And it's like the head coach.
Starting point is 01:13:24 It's like, you know, Vrable was this way. It's like, hey, we got our ass beat today. When you talk to the press, you give them all the credit in the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. And then he, you know, he'll put you on blast. We pay you. No, that next day. Yeah, next day.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Yeah, how much we pay you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll pay you to do this. Yeah, yeah. Oh, we got a little off track that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Balsie picks. We got Balsie Picks.
Starting point is 01:13:48 We got Balsie Picks. They're always so organized. It's always so organized, and then we fuck it up. Balsie Pick of the Week segment presented by Fireball Whiskey. So many things make football great, but you know the best thing. Kicking the living shit out of your rival. There's absolutely no better feeling as an athlete or a fan. This week, we obviously just covered Colorado.
Starting point is 01:14:06 versus Colorado State. And Fireball Whiskey is here to give you the spark to ignite that rivalry all season long. Grab your buddy, buy around, and reignite the rivalry flame. Who wants to start off the Balzy pick? I'd love to go. Ballsy pick this week,
Starting point is 01:14:19 and I really don't think it's that Balsey, it's plus 200. But I got South Carolina Money Line versus LSU. Let's go. I think the Brian Kelly's slamming his fist on the table. It's like he planned that. He planned that.
Starting point is 01:14:35 You can tell with the energy, too. Yeah, the energy. I just don't. South Carolina's got something to fight for. They understand what's at stake. Their coaches at stake. The program's at stake. You got a freshman D.N.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Yeah, what's his name? Dylan Stewart. Dylan Stewart. Number five is. That's a crazy name. Animal. Yeah, he is. You'd think it'd be way different than that with an energy he has.
Starting point is 01:14:57 He don't want to be called Stewie. The kid is like, what's he, 220 pounds? Oh, really? Yeah. A little Stewie? Yeah. From a big head? The demon look on.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Is he, what, like, 200 pounds? He's going to be the second overall pick in a couple of years right behind Dylan Rayola. Yeah, probably right. They're going to go one and two. The kid, I've never seen him put tackles and blenders like this ever. And obviously, people, when you think about South Carolina defense ends, you think of Jadavian Clonney,
Starting point is 01:15:26 kids got the potential to be better. Kids got the potential to be better. He can go through you around you. His bend is insane. His relentless effort getting after to the quarterback is fun to watch. His bend and his bend and his bend and his bend. His motor, he's got the bend of Von Miller and the motor of Max Crosby. Yeah, and watch those guys.
Starting point is 01:15:42 And the thing is, like, yeah, he's not a big cat. So you're thinking, oh, he doesn't have a whole lot of power. But because his speed and it gets you on your heels so much, dude, that's a great comparison. Yeah, it's a great. It's incredible. Great analogy, too. What's that? Grabbing the Von Miller and Max Crosby.
Starting point is 01:15:57 You like that? Yeah, that was a good one. That's from the hip. I appreciate it. But it is, it's true. And this kid, I don't know anything about him other than like the 20 clips I've seen. but the kid is a bad out of hell. And it fires me up to be a freshman, similar to Rayola,
Starting point is 01:16:13 walking out in the front, that type of mentality. Like, the kids got it. He stays healthy. Yeah, we're talking about second overall pick. He's a stud. And I think South Carolina wins this game. I'm betting that. Go ahead, Delaney.
Starting point is 01:16:27 I'm taking Purdue to beat Notre Dame. I don't hate that pick, man. I'm taking Purdue to beat Notre Dame. Money line. I don't think they win. I do like Purdue with the points. I think it's 10. It's plus 10.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And it's at Purdue. I do kind of like Purdue in that situation. But, man, Notre Dame's going to be hopefully just so ready to get the bad takes out of their mouth. I don't think so. I don't think so. You know what I mean? Like that's a game. You're going through all the bullshit.
Starting point is 01:16:54 You're sitting there, you know, it's Wednesday right now, but you're sitting there Monday and Tuesday. Coach is still, for whatever reason, you're still watching plays from last week's game and you're pissed off as a player and you just want to get to. Like, bro, we just got to get to Saturday to get this. bad taste out of her mouth. We can't have that shit again. And Purdue doing the same thing. Like, look, this team came in here, gave them the business. Bullies get bullied. Paid him $1.4 million to beat their ass. Let's do it. Our turn. It's our turn to get the spotlight.
Starting point is 01:17:20 It's our turn to be talked about. With this pick, you got to get some shout-outs to Shirm. Shirm had a great take on how fraudulent Notre Dame is. And that was, he was that from the get-go. He was that a few months ago. You thought it was different after watching them in College Station. It's like, you know, you went going to it in a business. environment like that and win, like, oh, they might be legit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:39 And then drop it like they did against a team that you literally paid to come play you. And going off of that, my ballsie picks A&M at Florida. I'm going Florida Money Line plus 154. Like, do I think Florida is like a quality football team? No, but I do think that they can win in the swamp. And being underdogs at the swamp, they came out against Sanford, hung 40, it was 457. Yes, it's Sanford.
Starting point is 01:17:59 But after such an abysmal performance against Miami, you hope that coaching staff has just been on their ass. You got A&M coming into town. Give me Florida at the swamp. Moneyline plus 154. I don't know about that one. A balzy pick. It's a balzy pick.
Starting point is 01:18:17 It's a balzy pick. Balzy pick. Rapid pick. Rapid fire. Ballsy pick, rapid fire. We got rapid fire and then the fan call in that we'll collage it out with. But Stephen, go ahead and kick us off, bro. All right, boys.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Arkansas State at Big Blue, Michigan favored by 23 and a half. totals 47 and a half. Under. Arkansas State plus 23 and a half. Under. Nevada at Minnesota, gofers favored by 16.5. Total is 43 and a half.

Starting point is 01:19:22 Pavia. Psychopath. Believe in them. Vandy minus 10 and a half at Georgia State. I know this is rapid fire. With this win, they will clear their overrunner of games. They were picked to win this year. It was two and a half.
Starting point is 01:19:32 It was two and a half. Wow. I didn't take it. Bandy. Knows nothing about this game, but you can't. Colorado favored by 7 at Colorado State
Starting point is 01:19:43 totals 58 and a half. Colorado State Money Line. Let's go Colorado State plus 7. Colorado State plus 7. Indiana at UCLA Hoosiers
Starting point is 01:19:59 favored by three totals 46. Indiana minus 3. Indiana minus 3. 3A, UCLA. I think Indiana can be scrappy. I hate to do this to my boy. Indiana. I gotta take Indiana. You ain't taking UCLA, that's home base, man.
Starting point is 01:20:14 I know, I can't do it. I can't do it. I'm in Indiana. Yeah, they did. First Big Ten game ever played them. Yeah, that big ten. There was a girl. Had some hammer cannons behind her. Some hammer pants?
Starting point is 01:20:26 Hammer cannons. Dirty pillows. Oh, I don't know what that means. Boobes. Oh, okay. As Mitch likes to say boobies. Oh, yeah. See that boobie scene?
Starting point is 01:20:35 All right, let's get into the fan calling picks parlay last week. Our boy, Alan, for the love of God, he's shamed. He's on our call of shame. RIP, the boy, just a brutal performance all around. Our fan calling pick, let's get to it. Here are Jared's old man's picks of the week that I like. I like South Carolina. Mainly I live in South Carolina.
Starting point is 01:21:01 They're playing LSU at home, getting seven points. I think the game cocks are for real. Boston College is going on the road to Missouri. They haven't been this excited since Doug Flutie had his uniform on, but they're getting 16 and a half at Missouri. I think they'll cover that. And then the final one of my trifectar would be Michigan minus 23.5 against Arkansas State.
Starting point is 01:21:27 I think they have something to prove after last week. And we all know what I'm talking about, so I think they're going to run it up their country. of the Clemson effect. That's my big three. So I hope that's good enough. Yo, shout out Mike, Jared's dad. He understood the assignment.
Starting point is 01:21:42 Yes, he did. We need more fan call-ins. We'll find out maybe a more fluid way to do it. Yeah. But we need more fan call-ins. Again, get an opportunity to get featured on the show like Big Mike just did. Shout out Jared's dad. He understood the assignment.
Starting point is 01:21:55 That parlay, if you didn't hear them, South Carolina plus seven, Boston College plus 16 and a half. In Michigan, minus 23 and a half. that parlay is plus 595 on the Draft King Sportsbook app. I like, you know, I like both of them outside of the Michigan minus 23 and a half. But I might ride with him just to kind of... I'm going to ride with him because this is pop straight up. Family first.
Starting point is 01:22:17 You feel me? That's how I get it. I went on this whole thing about how I'm not going to bet Billy O in Boston College. And now it's in the parlay. What? That's right. That's right. You can't.
Starting point is 01:22:28 But here we are. You got to stand on business. Nah, fuck it, dude. you're in a ride with Mike? No, you're right. Yeah, like, do you say, there's a little bit. See, me, I can maybe hedge my bed a little bit
Starting point is 01:22:39 because, again, I like South Carolina plus seven. I love Boston College plus 16 and a half. You know, the Arkansas State, I'm kind of just picking it as my tier three. But if I want to hedge my bed a little bit, I'm going to throw a little bit on that parlay, plus $5.95. Yeah, you guys.
Starting point is 01:22:52 You guys, go ahead. Yeah, I'll take it. I'm going to put a dollar on it. Yeah, see what it does. Yeah, I'll just see what it on. What is it turned a dollar into $5. $5.95? Yeah, straight up.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Yeah. Hopefully we see Big Mike and the Call of Fame. Yeah, I would love for him to be the first Call of Fame. I mean, I think Will needs to do the videos because Taylor, you just didn't get a lot of feedback. I know as active. I'm not as active. Yeah, you're not as active.
Starting point is 01:23:17 I'm not as acting too. No, when you do your video, you get more people. Yeah, I personally think we just need to have an email for people to go to. Because you got a lot of haters. Because then we can say it on the show. You know what I mean? Like right now I can say, hey, send your video to and then we got the email sent right there versus, hey, wait for five o'clock on Tuesday evening and find one of our tweets.
Starting point is 01:23:37 Right. You know what I mean? We can kind of stay uniformed across the board. Understandable. But again, work in progress. We had a couple of dishes. We got lights back in the locker. Shout out to Boy G. We got a light on the American flag. We got the, we got the Michigan pennant hanging up. We got the Michigan pinion hanging up. We got the Calvin Ridley jersey in the locker going. Hey, we get a bigger pennant. Oh, gosh. That is wild.
Starting point is 01:24:04 Hey, hell of a show, boys. A lot of fun. I know this one went smooth over an hour, but this was, I had a lot of fun. I had a great. Had a great time. Why not win them all? Let's do it. Why not?
