That was one of them. That was one of my total. These lines have moved, huh? What's up with dolphins bills? People think the dolphins are going to hang around? That's what most people don't think they are, though. Well, but the lines moving down, yeah? This glare.

Steve, where are you this week? I haven't had State College, Pennsylvania.

I'll be down. Oh, you're going to see our guy Biscuit? I've texted crickets. Is he a good texter? He is a pretty good textor, but he's also a good, diligent worker. So he might just be working. You got to text his wife. You got a text his wife.

Shout out to swerve. Marcus Hagen's got the wide receivers rolling up there. Jackpot got a cell phone yet? No. He's actually just at my house. They came down to surprise my kids for Halloween. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, it was great.

We had a nice evening. Uncle Macon out trick-or-treating yesterday as well. Fuck yeah. San's costume. Well, I went as the voice of reason. Fine upstanding citizen of the world. You know what I'm saying? Buttons on my shirt all the way up and down.

No shit. Yeah. What time are you in bed, Macon? I watched the Thursday night ball game. So it was a little late last night. I was into the wee hours after midnight. Good job by you guys. Both picked a winner?

Yeah. We did. Thank you. That was the easiest bet of the year. Well, speaking of... Yeah, and I still couldn't stomach making it, so I teased the Texans in the under and still hit it. I just couldn't bet the Jess.

Tees God's back. Yeah. Steve, I almost hate to bring it up, but two of us here were combined eight and two last week in our locks. That would be Chris and me. You were two and three. Yeah, Braiders, bad beat on the under, scored with a minute left.

my favorite defense chiefs gives one up uh what else do we have kinksn where are the standings the standing well macken's number one right now oh i'm two under i think now i was one under all right cat got your tongue there kinkson ask him when the last time he hung a banner was me making your 23 15 and two chris 22 and 18 steve is 18 20 and two a tight up 57 and a half percent for making Chris right behind him in 55. A lot of season left, Steve. A lot of season left, although he just dressed you down. I don't care.

I know it's one. It takes one week. That's right. Making's trying to avoid that. We just need making one, oh, and five, and we're good. And I'm not seeing the board this week. So it could be this week. It could be this week.

That's what I'm talking about. I'm afraid. I'm afraid to give you all plays. Why? I well I suck at this I should be like 75% is the way I feel because that's what I am in my personal life no big deal that can tell you that making you tell you that there's a lot of money coming in my account right now I feel a little bit I feel a little bit underrepresented seeing that 55 so we got to do something about it this week okay I'm falter who's up first see long oh fuck mr.

55 I'll take it from mr 57.5 let me go let me go let me go Rams minus one fuck you my first pick you only pick you bitch you

Oh, wow. I'll be down. 26 and a half. From the top rope. Yeah. The balls on this guy. Yeah, dude. Huh.

Against the pants. against the thirs of all teams. You got another one, Steve. Give them an automatic win for that one. Over in the Giants commanders game. 44 and a half. 44 and a half. These numbers are different.

Do you know Giants fans have seen one Giants touchdown at home this year? One. Stop it. One. I'm serious. This feels wrong. Chargers Browns under. under, Chargers, Brown's under.

Chargers and the Browns, the under. 42 and a half. Oh, it's not going good. Chris went two? It's lower Chris is two. This might be, no, I haven't gone two yet. I'm about to go two, aren't I? Yep.

Oh, that's right. Second round pick. Okay. Give me the Atlanta Falcons. Minus three. My second pick is going to be the New England. Patriots suffering from the Detroit Lions Hangover are the Titans and the Patriots are catching points. They're catching three and a half.

I'm probably going to make that. I don't know if I'm going to make it for it. We'll see. Raiders, Bengals, under. Golly, this guy is shitting down his leg. He's just picking whatever he gets. He hates it. Cardinals.

I like that. Thank you. And I need one more spread, one more total. I'm going to go under Patriots Titans. That's a good pick, Steve. God damn it. You don't mean it. Yeah, I do.

What's up? No, that was, I'm an idiot. I'm just a stupid crab. Talk us, talk us through. He took three spreads. I took three spreads. I was going to do, well, that was one of my plays. Oh, yeah.

You're out of your wild card. You're out. I can't tell you. I can't tell you which one. Oh, then that means it had to be Pat's Titans, yeah? Yeah, it was Pat's Titans. That was one of them.

That was one of my totals. Okay. Okay. These lines have moved, huh? What's up with dolphins bills? People think the dolphins are going to hang around? That's what most people don't think they are, though. Well, but the lines moving down, yeah?

This glare. Sure. Well, this glare. I can't. Okay. Take the sunglasses off. Mackass. Hackass.

That's good. Packers at home. Oh, it's down at two and a half? Yeah, it's going to be five by game time. Two and a half. When Malik Willis. It says three and a half right here. I printed this.

yesterday. I'm sorry, but it changed. Yeah, it moved since yesterday. I'll update them right before the show. Yesterday's price is not. I printed this yesterday. A full point. Yeah, exactly, bro. Oh, Fat Joe. Fat Joe. That was for Fat Joe. No, that was for Prop Joe. Was it Prop Joe or Fat Joe?

Prop Joe's from the wire. Prop Joe's from the wire. Remember when Meth Man killed that guy? And he was like, that was for Fat Joe. Yes, I do. Prop Joe. And for Fat Joe. I don't like that spread. Too late.

Yeah, it's too late. All right, Chris. Yep. I will go give me... Do I get two here? Yes, you do. Oh, okay. I'll take the under in Green Bay.

It's probably 13. Be careful. and I will take the over in Philly. 45 and a half. I was going to take the... Back to the human rain delay. It's not funny. What do you say? It's not funny.

That's not funny. It's pretty funny. All right. Rain delay. That's good. Let's get the tarp out. Yeah. Let's do a podcast.

Waiting for the game to start again. All right. Fucker. Just for that. Give me the Chicago Bears, you asshole. Oh, I like that.

Nice. I like it. Yeah. Sorry for the language. Give me the lions. Hey. You can't do that. All right.

Okay, let's go. Yikes. Everybody's got a half point to spend. Hey, is there a world where is there a world where well let's see this line moves right like where do you think this line moves

so Malik Willis is a starter pick him no no I think it goes to four and a half maybe five Detroit's minus okay yeah Detroit minus two and a half I think goes to like four and a half or five

so imagine how you feel yeah if the lions win by what is it James over here You tell me what it is I don't know I'm just a crab I'm trying to count

I only got four You got no decal So anyways I'm just out I don't know what the point How are the bears and cardinals Both favored by a point Huh?

My bud Okay sorry I'm sorry if that came across This harsh I do that for read I hate my I hate yeah I do I hate my picks

You should You should Can we read the picks out Yeah Chris has Rams minus one, Falcons minus three, Pats plus three and a half, Green Bay, Detroit, under 48 and a half, and Billy Jacksonville under, or over 45.

That's another four in one week. Good job. Thank you, but that's tough. Where do I buy my point? Makes has Vikings minus five and a half. Chargers, Browns under 42 and a half, Raiders, Bengals, under 46 and a half. Packers plus two and a half.

Steve's the only brave soul that took a team total, Saints under 26 and a half, Giants commies over 44 and a half, Cardinals minus one, Pat's Titans under 38 and Lions minus two and a half. You go Falcons with your half point, my friend. I think that's the right play. Yeah. I'll go team total, half point.

Gotcha. I just don't like that at all. Let me tell you some. Where are you buying your half point, mate? Give me the Packers up to a field goal, push and play. Now let me tell you something. Yeah. You ready for me to tell you some?

Yeah, man. That Eagles team total? Yeah. Middle. You don't get to go back, do you? That's fine. A big diesel over here doesn't get to go back. I'm joking.

He gets to go back? No, he doesn't want to go back. He doesn't need to. Hey, I like the Eagles team total over. That's one you liked? Yeah, I like the Eagles team total over. Look at it. 27 and a half.

Minus 1.40. you don't think the eagles are going to run rough shot over this defense and that Trevor and tank and ingram score like what what are they going to score like 20 points 16 okay um anything else you guys liked that didn't make the board are the chiefs just going to keep rolling it's a lot of points man i know stay away stay away yeah the one for me that's interesting and i will inevitably inevitably bet Broncos at Ravens whether it's a total or a side. Like that's a game. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch.

I'm going to have to put a little something on that game just to enjoy it. Put the claws on it. Put the claws on it. And that line's been moving all over the place. It just moved back up to eight and a half. Wow. Bill's Dolphins could be 45 to 10.

You're damn right. It could be. Can't wait to... Dolphins. Nah. I was a joke. I'll eat my hat. was a joke. When does Matt

release his parlay? I publish, thank you for asking Steve. I put it in the green light substack newsletter every Friday. I am 26 and 14. So that would be, let me see. Oh, yeah, first place. You don't have

to wait for people to take your picks. Yeah, exactly. My friend. Yeah. Sorry. My friend. You've been good. Yeah. We also have a whole track record of at least mediocrity. us. Mm-hmm.

You know, this is beginner's luck for you. All right. Well, you should check the newsletter out because he's,

he is, what is 26 and 14? What's that? 700. What is that? Something like that. 700. So you might want to fade him now.

Yeah. I think it's probably like now that we've discovered. Also, with respect, he's the one counting his wins and losses. Is he?

Yeah. I mean, who knows what the real record is. Lighting ballots on fire. and things like that. What's up, everybody? If you've been listening to the show for a while,

you've probably heard us talk about one of the many Airbnbs we've stayed in. We had a lot of great times at Airbnbs 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 ledges like Brian Dawkins, right from the comfort of our 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. 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.

What's next? College hoops starts. Fuck, it's college sports are over. But with that being said, let's talk about Penn State, Ohio State. Yeah. Tyler Warren, Steve, is that where you want to start? I'd love to.

Okay. Because I'm really interested. Last year, I went back and watched the tape last year. He did not play well. Kids steal chambers for Ohio State got him a couple times. Caught some balls, but in the run game, he was not a factor. I'm really looking to see what they bring to the table. But to me, the game is Penn State's defensive line against Ohio State's offensive line.

It's banged up. Nobody wants to hear about it because Ohio State has five stars out the ass. And, you know, their fans just say plug one of them in and we'll be fine. And that's not the case. You know, you're going into an environment here, which pride itself on being a great stadium. I actually think this is the second toughest environment. Oregon or Ohio State's played in having already played a night game at Autson, which I don't think is tougher than a noon game here at Penn State.

Penn State people, I still don't understand why they just won't. won't do a whiteout during the day. If it's so spectacular, stop saving it for bad teams and use it for the good teams. So that matchup of Penn State's defense with the crowd, how will that affect Ohio State? It kind of feels like Ohio State's backs against the wall. You know, that would be their second loss. They have a game against Indiana. But then the tiebreakers in the Big Ten title game, you're putting yourself in a bad

situation if you're trying to get in that title game. So plenty at stake here. We know the numbers. James Franklin, Ryan Day. It's not good. five teams, whatever. I think Penn State's beaten one top five team this century. And that's not good. So I like Penn State in the game.

Yo, same as the Virginia team beating one top five team this century. Oh, yeah, Florida State. That's crazy. Yeah. That's not good. That's not good. 06. 0.05 and then 0.95 and 0.95 and 05. 10 years. 95 and 05. Yeah. So 2025 should be good. 2025 would be good. Yeah, that's not how that works sequentially, but it could be.

I'll try to be positive. Yeah. Thank you. Drew Aller, good to go. Steve, you talk to these coaches. Yeah, all signs point to him starting. Hey, you, I thought you, like, Atlee High School doesn't ring a bell, Tyler Warren, Richmond area. Yeah, dog, Richmond. Yeah.

Hanover County. They beat you down? We never played Atley. We were a bunch of private school. I was talking to you, Chris. I was talking to me. You talk about tennis? In tennis, we actually play

public schools, unlike you football. Yeah, because that's where you guys have a fucking advantage. You should play other private schools, which makes you ever thought about it like that. A bunch of punk bitches. You know what I'm saying? Country club kids go and play all the.

Oh, you guys, you guys didn't get tennis lessons growing up. Let's schedule the 5A school. Yeah, walked right into that one. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just spiked it at the net. Yeah.

More of a volleyball reference. Yeah. Yeah. Those Virginia kids, those Steve, Richmond especially, they're starting to commit to the who's. Nice. Even with Tony Bennett leave it? No, we don't get Richmond kids.

There's some sort of force around Charlottesville. Richmond kids don't come here. All right, best of the rest, Steve. Pittsburgh SMU. Can I interest you in the ACC, Duke, Miami? Yeah. Who's going to knock Miami down? Did you guys read an ACC tiebreaker?

No. So if SMU wins beats Pitt, Miami. If SMU, Miami, and Clemson run the table in conference play, the tiebreaker comes down to combine conference opponents win percentage because they don't play each other. And right now, the best is Miami, I think, like 36%, which just tells you the good teams in the league are not playing each other. But it'll be scary if they have that scenario. I would think the commissioner will want Pitt and SMU to lose this game that they play, but both can't lose.

Both have quarterback situations. Jennings are going to give it a go for SMU. Sounds like Holstein has cleared protocol. He had a concussion last week. against Syracuse. But I like PIP plus the points there. I'm not sure they can win the game, but I believe they'll keep it close.

How do you expect me to care? SMU's in our conference. Wait until I tell you about Stanford and Cal. Well, you know, that's fucked up too. Okay. Efforts at NC State this week. Stanford and Cal a combined one in eight.

State. In the ACC. Oh, thanks for coming. Yeah. He's a party favor for you. You know, it's a bad conference, Steve. Like, we don't... It's not great. Just be less. But we got last season and look forward to.

Yeah, we do. Stop saying that. Ron Sanchez, bro. Yeah, it'll be good. In Sanchez, we trust, bro. That's right. What are you doing? Well, he's just trying to needle about the retirement. I know we're going to be fine. We'd be fine. Well, Tony, Tony, go to the games?

No. He'll go to one game when we put his name on the court in a couple years. That'll be it. Does he still live there? Yeah. Yes. Do you see him? Yeah, I see him. Did you go trick or treat in one of him? Did you go to his house? I see him sometimes, but nobody sees him. He likes to be, he likes to be, you know, to himself.

Yeah, a corner booth. You know what I'm saying? You know, look at me guy. Yeah. Like us. What makes you say that? Podcasters. It's literally what we do for a living. Chris, I do have a college football game. You have to watch tomorrow. Okay, what's that?

Oh, man. South Carolina hosting Texas A&M, defensive line, talent, out the building. Off the chain, huh? Off the chain. It's going to be fantastic. Tell me what I have to, what do I have to look forward to?

Because you know I'm going to LSU Bama next week. Am I just going to have them? I'm going to be in Baton Rouge. I've never been to Baton Rouge. Tell me what I got to do. You're not going to come back. I'm not going to come back. It's the best.

All right, I'm looking forward to it. Are you staying away from A&M favored by three and a half in Columbia. Are you staying away from that one? Yeah, weird shit happens at Willie B at nighttime, man. I've seen good teams go there and lose. Now, that's an actual atmosphere. Yeah, it is. They play that cock noise.

They don't just press play on inner sandman, which is a joke. That's an actual atmosphere, grass-rooted. The Inter-Sand-Man thing's a joke. Inter-Sand-man's a joke. South Carolina, William Spry. I think objectively we can say that it's not a joke. They press play on the freaking song. They don't show up anymore.

Anybody could have pressed play. We got a way to choose a better song. We're going to make a big deal with the lunch pail and all that. Oh, yeah, lunch pail, please. Come on. They're getting catered lunches now there. Fucking fruit salad and stuff. Yeah.

Formally, oh, we just lunch pail. please not anymore. A bunch of bulls. Yeah. Making how many, what do they call that? The Commonwealth Cup? Yeah.

How many times have you gone to? I don't remember what it looks like. I mean, I don't care about, you know, we keep track of all the sports. Commonwealth Clash. We don't lose that one. We just lose the football game.

Annually. No, it's all the sports. All the sports. Oh. That's the only way you could win it? Count them all. Yeah, count them all the sports. Yeah, we've only won.

We've only beat them one. Once in the last 20 years. I wasn't going to bring it up. That changes this year. That's right. Twice in the last 21. Yeah. All right.

Anything else in college football you guys want to noodle on, Oregon, Michigan? Michigan's a lot of money. I mean, they are professionals at that style play. Okay. Are you hanging around and watching Ohio State, Penn State? Absolutely. Good for you. Good for you.

Who's the guest picker? What do you think? Penn State. Man, look up Penn State grads. Hold on. I think we can do this. We can just do it. You think so?

Well. It's not Joe Pa. Yeah, it's not anybody from that era. Right. Like, I hate to say this. Sequan Barclay. Yeah, it's got it. No, you can't be Sequan because they're playing Jacksonville.

He plays Jacksonville. Levar Arrington? They can probably get a bigger name than the Bar. It is an alum, but they did not play sports. I don't think, yeah, I would think it would be like an entertainer. Okay, fine. I'll look famous Penn State. Repeat performer.

Yeah. You got to get new people, Steve. Ty Burrell. No, he's an Oregon fan. Okay. Kegan Michael Key, really? Yeah. Hold on.

Can you zoom in? Can you zoom in there? It's Kegan Michael Key. What about Betty James? Rick Santor. Orum. That rule? Immortal

Technique. Carl Nassive. I mean, you pass up a lot of great names for Keog and Michael Key. We've already seen him. Robbie Gold. There's a lot of people went to Penn State. Anthony Adams. Spice Adams, bro.

Why didn't you do Spice Adams? Spice Adams would be electric. Chris Godwin's available. Will Levin? Why is Will. Available? Wait, what? He was at Penn State before he

transferred to Kentucky. No shit. Yeah. Middle Town, Connecticut. All right. No, we're excited about Kagan. No, we are. Kegan Michael.

We are. He does that skit, that skit. He goes, A, A, Ron. That'll be good. Get him to do that one. You do A.A.Rod. No, but really, I met him once.

He was super nice. He's a Detroit Lions fan. Okay. Yeah. little what's that little icebreaker for you okay how about the lions hey if we send you some v-sabbers will you wear it on the set what v-saber some gear Virginia oh Steve we'll we'll just end this pod you typically wear like poverty program gear is what I'm saying can we send you some merch Steve, take care.

when we went on the air, we went on the air after an NBA game Wednesday night in the World Series was going, still going. And he comes on here. It says, Raise your hand if you're watching and that he says, not one human.

A crab, a crab who doesn't watch baseball. There you know what happened. Freddie Freeman hit the ball far. And Aaron Judge is not very good in the playoffs, huh? Right. Is that it? Drop that easy one.
