Starting point is 00:02:09 Pretty good. How's Cignetti doing? They're all in, man. They are all in here. We were out last night. And I'm just trying to, I'm telling this story. Sorry to tell this read. But last year, Game Day went to JMU.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I don't know if you guys remember that. And 23,000 people just mayhem. And I said, we didn't mention their opponent. it that day once on the show, which was Ab State. And Ab State won that game. Cost Jamie Unlefeated season. Rune the whole day. One in overtime.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And I'm just trying to tell these people here, I'm like, listen, just enjoy it. Just have fun. They're like, we're going to win by 80. Signetti-Berry's teams. I'm like, relax. Just embrace the journey and take care of business. Who do you play? Washington. Washington.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Classic Big Ten matchup. Big one. Big one. Oh, man. Steve, that fucking Texas game the other night was incredible, wasn't it? This college football and all its greatness. It was awesome. Steve, we know you can't keep it in your pants for Coach Saban, but talk, whoa, whoa. Jesus. Talk for a minute about the legend that is Lee Corso returning to the old stomping grounds,
Starting point is 00:03:25 coached Indiana for 10 years. Yeah, it's been really, really cool. I was down with Coach Corso this morning. getting a coffee. I thought they were giving them a free one. He paid. And we waited in line for like 20 minutes. And we're staying at a hotel and like you walk in. There's a giant, I think I tweeted it. There's a giant picture of the Hoosiers team from the movie with a couple exceptions. But like just the old school Midwest feel, like just, you know, good genuine people. But they did not give coach free coffee. And so we're waiting and waiting patiently in line. And he finally
Starting point is 00:04:00 he's like, I'm paying. And so he gets the two cups of coffee and he leans in. He's like, sweetheart, it better be good. So he, no, it's really, really, I mean, I was two years old in 1979, which was the year, you know, his team went to the holiday bowl, BYU, I believe, and their reunion is, uh, is here. So, uh, random guys coming up, him putting a face to a name, uh, is really, really cool, man. Like, you know, 10 years back then in this kind of town where there wasn't a lot of success. And he was the young guy, you know, going against Woody Hayes and all those guys. Like, he brought a lot of spunk to the show.
Starting point is 00:04:41 So we're going to try and show that. There's a bunch of stuff planned in the show. So it's really, really cool to see these people remember him. And what, you know, Chris, you talk to college coaches. And in those times you went through good and bad. But, like, what is that? That's 50, no, 45 years. It probably doesn't feel that much longer than, you know, for now.
Starting point is 00:05:02 It's like 17, 18 years ago, 20 years ago for our group. Like, it just went by like that. It's crazy, man. We're going to be those guys before you know it. No doubt. I'm almost there. I'm coming back in town soon. And, you know, he's like, we need to go to dirty Nellies.
Starting point is 00:05:16 And guys are going to be coming out of the woodwork. Steve, your favorite spot. Al puts it on the calendar like a year in advance. He's like this Tuesday, the Tuesday in October, he's like November, whatever it is. Put it on your, yeah, that's how those coaches are, though. No, it's great. It's great to see here, man. It's great.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Yeah. All righty, before we talk about college football slate, let's, let's do our locks. What are our standings, Kingston? Read them off. Macon, 1914, 2. Chris, 18 and 17. Steve, 16, 17, and 2. Everybody went 2 and 3 last week.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I did. I did. Just flipped the whole thing. Pretty good guys. Uh-oh. Steve, you have a question about the standings? I double check. There was a double checking.
Starting point is 00:06:00 A double check. It's in my count. I put that in my calendar when you do green light double check the standing. I haven't seen one of these in a while. No. Have we seen one of these in a while? A championship belt? Discount double check?
Starting point is 00:06:15 No. Not in a while. No. Jets favored by a touchdown. It's good to know. All right. Who's up first? I'm up first, huh?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Oh, boy. Here we go. I don't care, all right? Because at worst, at worst, this is 31.13. I don't care that it's the biggest number. Give me the lions at home. God damn it. 11 and a half.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Literally. Is that what it is? 11 and a half. There's a couple big ones, right, this week? That sucks. Now I can't bet that game or anything. You can. Why not?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Like rising tide, you know? We can all be happy. No, that's not possible. You sure that's not 12 and a half? No. That's what she said. That MGM line, Steve. Download the app.
Starting point is 00:07:08 All right. Download the app or get a Matt who has so diligently put all the lines. And thank you the odds, too. Keep that. Yeah. You're welcome. Who's next? Steve.

Starting point is 00:07:37 Hey, how much whiskey or bourbon was in that cup you chugged? That thing was a heavy, poor, bro. Had to be about three to four units of alcohol in there. I thought it was like a four. Had to do a couple segments after that. Whoa. Honestly, though, I will put it down for, I will put it down for months on end, and I can pick it right back up.

Starting point is 00:09:27 total. Okay. Wow. I was thinking about that. That was on my list. Can't think about it anymore. Uh, no. I'll root for you, though.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And I know you don't root for me. I do root for you. There's just one guy in the, because I can always see his face. I was just going to say, we do both root against making. He's got the villain thing going. He likes to be a villain. And then he's a villain. And then he goes, then he goes,
Starting point is 00:09:59 then he goes, Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. guilty of charge on that one. Yeah. That's what he does. I'll tell you he he's going to take next. Can I guess?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Oh, no, no, Steve's going. Hold on. Can I get Saints team total under? Wow. Sure you can. 15 and a half. Wow. It's not many points.

Starting point is 00:10:43 And the crowd goes. Silent. Mild. That games in New England, huh? You got that right. Those are all over where the games are. We are. Usually not so. Fat in a thousand, right?
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's a lot of games. They move around. Sometimes they're in London. How many times is a two and five team been a touchdown favor on the road? It's good research on that one. Yeah, seriously. Enhance. Good question.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Points galore. I am going to back to a tag of Ioloa and the Miami Dolphins at home. I like that play. Minus three and a half. I really do. I like that play, Meg. Thank you, Chris.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Give me under 41.5 Chiefs Raiders. I have one total written down here. Can you get one second? Let me just look at these totals. I'm going to tell you what I think here. tell you what I think. It's good to tell you what I think. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Oh, I got one. Oh, you do? I got one. I'm taking it next. Let's go Falcons Bucks under. Okay. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Chris. Yeah. Chris, has anyone ever called you Tofer? Yeah. My ex-girlfriend back in the day. Also, I had an instant messenger name called Tofer Kid 13. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:07 There we go. Yeah. Was that AOL messenger? That was AOL. Is that the precursor to Grieg Slanger 13? Yeah, that took a dark turn when I started slanging Grieg. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:19 It was into all the ASL chat rooms. You're up again. American Sign Language? Oh, I'm up again. Give me the charges by seven. Oh. Take another big line here. It's a big line week.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Give me over 46.5 Bill's Seahawks. Okay. I see 47. 47. See 47, Steve. Damn, I really got to fucking take it. You're on the wrong app, pal. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So I got to take another total. Damn. Colts Texans under 46. Look out. Anthony Richardson. You know? Yeah. No Nico.
Starting point is 00:13:01 No Nico. Gus Bradley, though. Yeah, a clock might not be running that much in this one. Uh-huh. All right. Screw it. Jaguar sandwich. Give me the Jags plus four.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Pack. Just have the Texans at home. We'll have the lions at home. Is that the highest total? I'm going to take that total. Yeah, I like that over, too. All right, my turn, it's got to be a side, and I'm going with the worst pick on the board.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Give me the Cowboys plus four and a half. Okay. I forgot about the Niners. I didn't know I could pick the Niners. Oh, fuck. It's Sunday night. We can't? No, you can.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I didn't think about it. Well, good news, pal. No, I can't. No, I can't. You could minus one of your other picks. Oh, yeah, because, no, I did a Browns. I have to do a, I have to do a total. Take.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I have to a total. I got the, I'm going to do the over in Jacksonville. Okay. I'm going to do the over in Jacksonville. Like it. Points, man. Like it, too. Points.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Like it too. All right, fellas. Y'all got a beat on your half points. Yeah, I do. Should it be Dallas? I'm going to tell you who it should be for me. I'm going to go ahead and knock that charges down to six and a half just in case. I'm going to take Philly three and a half.
Starting point is 00:14:30 That would be difficult to do. Why? Because it's a full point. What are you all of a sudden? Three. Full point Friday. It's two and a half on Bet MGM, aka Matt's book. Bet Matt.
Starting point is 00:14:44 poor Matt I was room for him so hard appreciate you Steve you want to make it three yes I bet you do I bet you would Panama Red I'll take Jets pass down to 40.5 that's a key number that 41 now here comes to the point in the show
Starting point is 00:15:04 where I tell you all the stuff that I actually like believe it or not I've been winning money the last couple weeks which I'm just terrible at this I'm terrible at giving you the consumers the best picks I'm good at hoarding the best picks for myself and deciding against these picks by Sunday. Okay. So let me tell you something I do like. I love Macon's play.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Thank you. That's going to be bet in real life. I also. He means the Lions. Yeah, the Lions. Sorry. I'm Macon's play. There's five of them.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I'm probably going to, I'm probably going to put a teaser down this weekend. I think the T's God is going to be. There's a couple games that like are, and you got to know Vegas is thinking teasers. Lions, Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, those are all very teasable games. So I go look at those games. A couple interesting nuggets, guys, for you. Jalen Hertz, I couldn't do it because it would, it would,
Starting point is 00:15:59 I wanted to take the under in Cincinnati, but I'm not going to do it because it would be an anti-Eagles pick. But Hertz is now 13, 19 and 1 against the spread on the road. Hertz is 20 and 11 to the under on the road in his career, including 10 and 3 since the start of last season. That's the best mark of any quarterback in the NFL or the worst, the most predictable mark if you're looking at unders. Also, Cleveland is 23 and 40 straight up in 30, 32, and 1 against the spread
Starting point is 00:16:28 with a backup quarterback. Since the start of last season, Cleveland's played 12 games with the backup quarterback between Joe Flacko, DTR, PJ Walker, and can you guess the other guy? Same again. Jeff Driscoll. Wow. Yeah, exactly. He won.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And in those games, they're actually six and six straight up in seven and five against the spread. They also have not lost by double digits to the Ravens a lot in general. Is this why I had to earmuff on the Friday show? Yeah, I was going to tell you if the line hadn't moved to eight and a half, that maybe I was going to buy the half point up to 10. Gotcha. And Colts five and two against spread this season, Texans one and six. It's interesting game.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah. I should have taken the dolphins down to three points, but I have a feeling that Jets Pat's game is going to land right on 41. Hey, another one in your favor, too. Yeah. Kyler Murray has only started two games on the road on short rests in his NFL career in 2021, 30 to 12 loss to Detroit in 2020, 2020, 21 lost to Seattle. He's 0 and 2 against a spread failing to cover by 17.5 points per game.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I do not need. Small sample size, small sample size. Small man, small sample size. Sincerely, do not mean to make light of it. would think he doesn't need as much rest. I'm curious in the two of comeback games if he performs well. Probably. I'm always
Starting point is 00:17:53 curious. But I think this defense is Swiss cheese a little bit. Okay. What else, guys? Where will we not hit? I guess just about all of them. Chiefs Raiders? Anybody scared off? I'm actually going to, I'm
Starting point is 00:18:09 definitely chees the chiefs. Bears commanders. Yeah. Bears commanders is like surprised the bear what's going to happen what's going to happen what's going to happen and where's that line going to go if jaden daniels is up i don't think he's playing i don't think so either but what would happen you think even money even money pick them i think it would swing the other way full six points no that's six about five yeah might be eight five or i could see commanders like one and a half okay i agree with steve actually thank you man um That would be a dinged Jaden.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I just feel like, as our friend Kyle Long pointed out, about the Kermit doll. You call your brother, your friend? Well, yeah. I mean, well, I was saying the friend of the program. It's my friend. Your brother. He's not. He's not your friend, my brother.
Starting point is 00:19:00 My brother, Kyle Long, who pointed out that the Kermit, the Frog thing, is still fresh in Patrick Holmes's mind. I think the whole thing last year is fresh in their mind and two totally different teams. Two totally different teams. So, I mean, like, I would be inclined to bet. Another one on my list was definitely I want to bet the Niners. Inevitably, I'm going to bet the Pats. They're catching a whole touchdown.
Starting point is 00:19:24 And, yeah. Chris, who's your favorite player on the Chief's defense not named Chris Jones? It might be Leo Channall. That's what I was going to. I love that dude, man. It might be Leo Channall. That's a good question. You can kind of like, but I think Trent McDuffie, as Matt just pulled up,
Starting point is 00:19:41 is probably the best player not named Chris Jones. What about Nick Bolton? Nick Bolton's pretty amazing. Justin Reed. Justin Reed's pretty amazing, too. But I think... Carl Loftus? I like Carl Loftus a lot.
Starting point is 00:19:51 I just think Leo Chenal is a lot of fun to watch. He ran with somebody on a wheel the other day that he had no business running with. I think it was... Who was that? Who was that? I think it was a running back. Was it Mason? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:20:03 It was Ushchech. Ushack had a, you know, five steps on him. Brand him down. Big strong guy, big linebacker, good in the box, good enough outside. Yeah, I mean, he's... He's a stud. What's up, everybody? If you've been listening to the show for a while,
Starting point is 00:20:21 you've probably heard us talk about one of the many Airbnbs we've stayed in. We had a lot of great times at Airbnb's in places like Phoenix, Buffalo, Green Bay, and Minneapolis. I'll never forget some of the memories we made, like hearing the coyotes, how in the desert, playing pool late in the night with the guys, and interviewing legends like Brian Dawkins, right from the comfort of our beautiful.
Starting point is 00:20:44 beautiful Airbnb in Phoenix for the Super Bowl. We love the convenience, and it's way easier to hang out with your friends when you have a big place to share rather than staying at a hotel with separate rooms. Yeah, and we'll be booking Airbnbs for every trip we take this season. Is that right, Cowboy? Hosting on Airbnb is such a good opportunity if you live in a big football town. A nice vacation with the whole family sounds expensive, right? Well, when fans come to your town for those big games, your home could be an Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:21:13 hosting is a practical way to earn extra money to make your vacation truly special. If you're listening to this from home, what you might not realize is that your home is worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host. All right, Steve, AP top five is Oregon, Georgia, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas. Is that your top five? I have Texas ahead of Penn State right now. Texas ahead of Penn State. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Man. And last week you said... Did anybody catch some of those college football games last week? Yeah, you see my man with the hair? Oh, yeah. You know there's like a forehead, five head. That's a three head. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:57 That dude, where was he in Knoxville? Austin. Austin? Yeah, one of the... I mean, some of the best flow. Yeah, that was incredible. Hey, a lot of Greenlight fans in Austin. Really?
Starting point is 00:22:07 Yeah. No way. Yeah, got a lot of reaction. Oh, they love it. got a lot of, hey, fuck you in that stupid podcast. No, love, love the green light. That's good, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Okay, so what's the best game of the weekend? Oh, tonight. Friday night, Boise State. UNLV, stay up late. Awesome. All right. Who should I bet? Oof.
Starting point is 00:22:32 I feel like the world's on Boise. I think they win by a field goal, therefore I say you and LV. Okay. Number 17. 10.30, Steve? you got a better chance of no that ain't okay all right steve it's get the mario car i gotta get my rest for the professionals okay i understood i know you love sundays the most important sleep is not the night before the day it's the night it's the night before the correct you got it yeah played football they
Starting point is 00:23:01 told us all that yeah all got it's to keep us in our rooms on Thursday nights Steve it's it's not yet Halloween and cail and de bore has two losses to his Alabama record. Kalyn calls you. He says, Steve, it's Kalen. I need some advice. What are you telling the coach? Tell your quarterback to stop turning the ball over.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Damn. You're not mincing any words. Just have that. Yeah, just have that combo. He's put them in all these spots, guys. It's the decision-making, the processing windows, throwing the football. I didn't think he ran with conviction last week against Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I mean, he got a chance to go 14-0 on the road. If you told me last week that Tennessee was going to score 24 points, I would have told you Alabama wins that game. But the problem was the offensive mistakes turned into defense getting put in bad situations. And you give Nico enough throws, he's going to make him. And Jalen did not. And that's the biggest crux I see with Alabama. Let me take you inside a dumb guy's head here.
Starting point is 00:24:06 This is me. Okay, I'm going to take you down through the slate here. All right, Miami, Florida State. Florida State not very good, far as I can see. Miami does not like Florida State. That should be a blowout. Am I wrong? I would let, no, you're totally with you.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Miami's going to be on the board for me. I would lay up to 30 points in that game. They haven't beat them since 21. Yeah. They haven't beat them since 2020. Cristobal, I think it was his first year. Florida State went there and put it on them, 453. Cam Ward should be able to do whatever he wants.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I think they name their score. I am looking forward to landing. Is it landing Bioma? Yeah. Yeah. Illinois coach. I'm looking forward to that game as a Beville Conway watch. And also, yeah, it could be.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Really? Orange and green? But orange and green. Yeah, but you don't know. You don't know. Yeah, you don't know what Oregon's going to wear. I like bright colors, man. You know how that Carolina, Washington game looked the other day?
Starting point is 00:25:07 That was fun. There's a, We already had the one seed that will not be topped. Okay. That was Penn State at USC. That was the most beautiful uniform game we can have. I don't know. Penn State, Illinois was gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:25:21 If it were a Rose Bowl, hit a little different as a conference game. Can Notre Dame lose to Navy this weekend? Yes. Would you bet Navy this weekend? I would, but it feels very public. Going back and watching Notre Dame's defense, Chris, like Georgia, Texas team that really does a lot of pre-executive. Re-snap stuff, tries to mess with your eyes, gives you a lot of candy.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And Notre Dame did a great job in the back end, communicating that stuff, and we're all on the same page. But this week, when you're playing a name, that's assignment football. You know, it's a big, big deal. Navy, you know, they call it to Sling T, and they throw it, man. They got, I think, 51 plays over 30 or 40 yards, 10 touchdown passes. I think the Navy record for touchdown passes is 13, so he's almost there. And Horvath has been great. He's going to be on game day from the field tomorrow, which would be awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:15 But, yeah, Notre Dame's got it. Because here's what I'm worried about for Notre Dame. If Navy gets to lead, will they go back to their old ways and take the air out of the ball and limit Notre Dame's possessions? Because Notre Dame's not great on offense. And the thing about Navy, too, is the one offense they did play was Memphis, and Navy beat him 5644. So Notre Dame should have success.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I just wonder how many possessions are they going to get. Can Vandy continue to cover as a dog? Absolutely. 18 and a half, dude. Number one team in third down, I believe, in the country. That's because of Diego Pavia. Love that guy. Oh, he's awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:53 The way they, again, the way they spread you out and make guys on the defense, make decisions, he feels like he's always got an answer for whatever the team does against him defensively. And it's really, really cool to watch. really interested to see how Texas comes out because there used to be an old adage. I think Bruce Feldman wrote an article back on the day about teams the week after they played Nick Save and Alabama teams and it was not good. And the physicality that Georgia brought the other night, I'm really curious to see how Texas responds to that because that was why I picked Georgia.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I didn't think it was not Texas fault. It's kind of like Indiana here. You only play the teams that are on your schedule and they just haven't played good teams. So how does Texas come out? That's a huge factor to me in that game. And should I bet the home team tomorrow? Virginia. Virginia Cavaliers.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Oh. They're playing U.N.C. You see Virginia hang 31 on Clemson, Steve? I saw they were on bad beats. It was great. Dabble tried freaking covering against his old guy, like punching in. Clemson always knows what the score is when it comes to that stuff, but they act like they don't. You know what? The starters were in the whole game for Clemson.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Tony Elliott came right in that. back door. Yep. Well, yes he did. Easy. Talking about the spread. Did somebody
Starting point is 00:28:14 carve that pumpkin? Yeah. Our friend Chris Allen. Well, Chris Allen and his buddy, yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:21 he carved that pump. Gunner Kane. Gunner Kane. Shout out to Gunner. Yeah. Well, Steve, enjoy.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And can you find Steve? Can you find the other Steve and take a picture with him? Belich. Who's the other? Oh. That's,
Starting point is 00:28:36 that's what's, crazy to me. I've said, Chris, is the best story, not Army Navy this year has been Signetti in Indiana with what they've done. I mean, this place is on fire and all in, on everything. And who's there on the other side trying to stop
Starting point is 00:28:50 the best story in college football of Belichick? Let's go, Steve. Let's go. Google him. Google him. Google New England's defense this year and last year. Were they really number one against the run last year? They were.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Bill was right about that? Yeah, but they also had some guys that they don't have right now. Correct. That's for sure. That's for sure. Yeah. It's always the case. Curtis Rorick, thumb.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Is it okay? I don't think, no, he's, I think they gave Pete Thamo the word indefinitely. How long he's going to be out? And, I mean, I watched the tape. He cut that, that, that tough guy, he, he, he busts his thumb. He's throwing, and the defense event hits him on his throwing thumb on play 25. He played 13 more plays, and he's basically just slingshoting quick screens to end the half. And he tries a Hail Mary at the end right about, yeah, he threw it from the 50, and I don't think it got to the 20.
Starting point is 00:29:51 I don't think it got to the 15 guard line. And I'm like, they've got to make a change. And David Jackson comes in, starts the second half. They're already up 287. And I'm watching like, all right, they're just going to run the ball, get out of air. Then they'll get full practice with their backup quarterback. No, not Cignetti. throws the ball for the first six plays, two touchdown passes for the kid,
Starting point is 00:30:11 ton of confidence. They score 28 more points against the black shirts. Golly, well, it is Nebraska. School record for consecutive games scoring 40 or more here, Bloomington. Guy can coach. Yeah. Hoosiers. All right, Steve.
Starting point is 00:30:28 All right, Steve. Have a great weekend. Yeah, man. We'll see you soon. Do you guys like the candy cane pants? Yeah. Which candy cane paint? Pants. Indiana wears their warm-ups. Indiana hoops.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I do. They have shorts. I was thinking about going with the shorts. Ooh. That's a different question. Different question completely. You should wear the overalls. Yeah, overalls. Why not? Can't go overalls. Why not? Because you need biceps and those are long gone and you got to have like the muscular. Yeah, but you can put like a long sleeve on.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah. They're versatile. Way better. I'm not a hairy guy either. You need hair, like chest there. You got to have chest here. You've been staring at that forearm for the past 40 minutes. There's not nothing.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Look at that. That's strong. Bye, Steve. Take care, Steve. Love you guys. Love you.
