00:00
The early games. Alabama heading north, Scotty, up to Madtown to see Wisconsin.
00:12
It's a noon east kickoff on Saturday. Minus 16 and a half for Bama at this point.
00:19
What else do we have? LSU, they are a road favorite into South Carolina to see them.
00:25
Boston College at Missouri, heavy number here. Minus 15 and a half in Columbia.
00:31
Oregon laying 16 and a half. They're splashing around with the Beavers in Corvallis here, Scotty, this week.
00:38
And Notre Dame, off the embarrassing loss at home to Northern Illinois, heads to West Lafayette to see the Boilermakers tomorrow.
00:47
All right, so if I could, you know, obviously I can't see that board at this point, but I'm going to say this.
00:54
Look, some of those numbers now, it's really hard for me to see it. I'll be honest with you.
00:58
So I'm going to throw this your way. I remember you said that there it is.
01:02
So Bama is 16 and a half. I think it's too many points.
01:07
I think Alabama wins that game at Camp Randall, but I mean, they struggled with South Florida in Tuscaloosa.
01:15
They ran away from them late, but they were literally in a problem in that game.
01:20
The game that I think stands out to me on the board is this first rack is LSU.
01:25
I think they go to Columbia and put a beating on the Gamecocks. I really do.
01:31
I think Missouri will hand O'Brien his first loss at BC.
01:36
I like the Tigers and Cook and that offense in Columbia to handle their business against Boston College.
01:43
And then the Oregon-Oregon State game. I don't see what that number is, Mike.
01:48
If you know it, it's 16 and a half. I think that that's too juicy for me as well.
01:53
Oregon has barely covered or barely won. They haven't covered in either game that they played.
02:00
They barely won the games and they're playing crappy teams and they're barely winning.
02:05
I think Oregon State will cover the number and give them a problem.
02:08
I don't see what the last game was on that rack.
02:11
Notre Dame and Purdue was the last game.
02:14
I got to tell you, I want no part of Notre Dame.
02:18
This could be one week they win in Kyle Field and then the next week they lose at home to Northern Illinois.
02:25
I had NIU in 27 and a half. I don't want any part of this game with Purdue because I think Purdue stinks.
02:32
Notre Dame should win that game down there by 10 at Ross-Ade Stadium any way you slice it.
02:37
If Notre Dame doesn't bounce back from that pathetic performance at Notre Dame Stadium against the Huskies,
02:44
then their whole season is doomed.
02:46
I like the Irish to get it done, but I really don't have any interest in betting that game because I don't trust them.
02:52
I'm with you. I'm not betting anything on the Irish this week.
02:55
I'm with you on LSU. I think that's going to be a smash job for Brian Kelly and the crew on the road there.
03:02
I think they're going to take care of business.
03:04
I think that Oregon State and Washington State are both going to be playing with some big chips on their shoulders, Scotty,
03:10
this week against their longtime rivals.
03:12
I'm going to take that 16 and a half with Oregon State.
03:15
We will come back and we will get through the rest of these.
03:19
Of course, we do have that Washington-Washington State Apple Cup game.
03:23
We've got the backyard brawl this weekend as well with West Virginia and Pitt that we have to get to.
03:29
Can you believe this, Scotty? Another Georgia player with the cars.
03:34
Cornerback Daniel Harris arrested Thursday night reckless driving.
03:38
He was doing 106 on a wet road. That's 41 miles over the speed limit.
03:43
What is with the Georgia players and the cars? What are we doing out here?
03:48
I have told you before, it is the Dukes of Hazzard down in Athens in the deep woods of Georgia.
03:55
And I am impressed that he took it over a bill.
03:58
He had it at a buck six in the pouring rain with Daisy Duke.
04:02
Here's the next set that I've got for you here.
04:04
Of course, we do have the backyard brawl this weekend.
04:07
West Virginia and Pitt getting together.
04:10
That's on my next set of games for you.
04:12
Texas A&M and Florida as well.
04:15
Washington State and Washington Apple Cup, of course, now being played earlier in the year.
04:20
Five and a half now for the Huskies.
04:22
You've got Ole Miss going to Wake Forest with a very healthy number of 20 and a half.
04:27
And Georgia visits Kentucky laying 22 and a hook.
04:33
Yeah, look, if we could put that rack back up so I can look at those spreads.
04:38
I got to see the odds.
04:40
All right, so A&M, I like, at the Swamp, believe it or not, laying a three and a half.
04:45
The young kid, I think, is going to be under a lot of pressure with that A&M defense.
04:49
I mean, the Gators could get it done, fair enough.
04:51
But I'm going to take a swing with Elko and A&M on the road.
04:55
I've already seen Miami kick Florida's teeth in.
04:59
I like the Washington State spread with Washington.
05:03
I think that game in Seattle is going to be a great game.
05:06
It always is.
05:07
I think it's a three-point game.
05:09
I don't think, you know, Washington, their whole team's gone to the NFL.
05:13
I do not believe that they're going to blow out Washington State.
05:17
Washington State and Oregon State have impressed me.
05:20
Standing tall, holding up the pack, 12.
05:23
Now they've got these four new teams.
05:25
They've got six teams.
05:26
They need two more.
05:27
I think the conference is going to make a nice comeback in the next couple of years.
05:30
In 26-27, I expect them to be back breathing.
05:33
I like Pitt and the number in the Steel City against West Virginia.
05:37
I already saw Penn State kick West Virginia's ass.
05:41
I like Pitt.
05:42
They had a comeback win.
05:43
Give me the Panthers and Narduzzi.
05:45
Narduzzi gets it done at home.
05:46
Ole Miss in wake.
05:47
Ole Miss will win at wake.
05:49
Jackson Dart will whack Wake Forest in Winston-Salem.
05:53
No problem there.
05:54
And I think Georgia goes to Lexington, and I think they bury Kentucky.
05:59
I don't believe Kentucky can hang with the Georgia Bulldogs.
06:02
And frankly, we have talked so much about Georgia football players getting popped
06:06
for speeding, I just don't even care anymore.
06:08
I don't care anymore who speeds in hillbilly Athens, Georgia.
06:13
Honestly.
06:14
And you can quote me on this.
06:16
Every redneck in the world down in Georgia speeds and drives 120 miles an hour,
06:20
and they want to see if the long arm of the law can catch them.
06:23
So whatever.
06:24
All those football players can keep partying for all I care,
06:27
because they win every game they play by 40.
06:30
They certainly do.
06:31
All right, next.
06:32
We talked a little bit the other day about Indiana.
06:34
They are heading to the West Coast.
06:36
First time in Big Ten play.
06:37
They're going to UCLA, Pasadena to see the Bruins.
06:41
The Hoosiers are now minus 3.5, Scotty.
06:44
Colorado and Colorado State getting together in Fort Collins,
06:47
minus 7.5 for the Buffaloes.
06:49
TCU, 1.5 point home favorite over UCF.
06:52
Cal, who's gotten off to a good start, a win at Auburn last week,
06:56
taking on the Aztecs, laying a very, very healthy number, 19.5.
07:01
Well, I think that's because they saw Oregon State whack San Diego State
07:05
at Snapdragon.
07:07
My son was at the game.
07:08
It was embarrassing.
07:09
They lost 21-0 to the Beeves.
07:10
I think Cal can do the same thing to the Aztecs this week in Berkeley.
07:15
I like TCU in Fort Worth to get it done and cover against UCF.
07:22
Colorado, Colorado State, I'm scared to death.
07:24
They still have their quarterback.
07:26
I don't know.
07:28
I think Colorado is better than Colorado State.
07:30
We've already seen Colorado State just get impaled by 52 points this year.
07:36
They don't look good to me at all, Mike, and I'm with you.
07:38
Earlier in the week, you brought up the Hoosiers.
07:40
Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun.
07:44
Take the Hoosiers and Cignetti and their performance in the Rose Bowl.
07:48
Remember, honestly, I could be wrong.
07:51
I could be wrong about this.
07:52
I think the last time Indiana played in the Rose Bowl was 1967,
07:56
and that's how long it's been since they've been to Pasadena.
07:59
That might be a little overwhelming for them,
08:01
but I do not believe Deshaun Foster's Bruins are good at all.
08:06
I don't think Cignetti will have them ready.
08:08
I don't think those kids care that that's the last time Indiana was in the Rose Bowl.
08:12
I don't think they care about the Rose Bowl either.
08:14
They don't even know what 1967 means.
08:18
I have no idea.
08:20
I got more for you here.
08:21
Oklahoma State into Tulsa this week.
08:24
Arkansas State, Michigan, Memphis visits FSU.
08:27
FSU trying to get off the deck, of course,
08:30
after a couple of bad losses to start the year.
08:33
The U has Ball State coming in with a 36-and-a-half piece,
08:37
and Utah is in Logan against Utah State.
08:40
No cam rising, unlikely or, shall we say, unlikely to play.
08:44
Finger injury on his throwing hand last week.
08:47
He's unlikely to go for Utah.
08:48
God, that guy's always certain he's been in college for 15 years.
08:51
Yeah, honestly, he's a waste of my breath anymore.
08:54
Talking about this guy, he's just the rising sun.
08:59
I mean, honest to Christ, this guy's injured more than anyone in the history of football,
09:02
but they'll still beat their ass.
09:05
They will beat Utah State's ass in Logan.
09:07
I don't care who plays quarterback.
09:09
Miami is going to smack Ball State,
09:12
and I think Florida State wins in tally over Memphis.
09:17
Not only do they win, they win big and easily.
09:20
It's their first good game of the year.
09:22
They've looked terrible twice.
09:24
They're going to look good against Memphis,
09:26
and then Michigan will handle Arkansas State easily.
09:30
This is a piece of cake game for them.
09:33
The sneaky one right there is that fat number with Tulsa against Oklahoma State.
09:37
I guarantee you that Oklahoma State takes them lightly
09:41
and has themselves embroiled in a game.
09:44
I'm willing to take the points with Tulsa in Tulsa
09:48
to give the Cowboys, the Pokes, a game on the road.
09:52
I think Gundy's team struggles a little bit on the road here.
09:55
Everything else they played in Stillwater.
09:57
This will be no cup of tea for them on the road.
10:01
All right, this is the last one that I got.
10:03
These are some big numbers.
10:04
Texas 35 against UTSA this week.
10:07
Air Force and Baylor a big number down in Waco.
10:10
Kent State and Tennessee, look at that number, 49.5.
10:14
Are you kidding me?
10:16
And then BYU and Wyoming late night in Laramie.
10:20
Yeah, I think BYU wins that game.
10:23
We've already seen them win when they were a dog.
10:26
Everyone thought that they'd have problems.
10:29
They come up big already.
10:30
And then I believe in Tennessee, their offense is sickening.
10:34
I love their new quarterback.
10:35
I think the Vols smack Kent State in Knoxville like nobody's business.
10:40
Air Force and Baylor, I'm trying to see that number.
10:43
I think it's 15 and a hook.
10:45
That might be a little heavy.
10:47
Baylor should win that game by 20.
10:50
They really should.
10:51
I'm not afraid of Air Force.
10:52
They should win by 20.
10:53
But I could see them screwing that up.
10:55
And Texas should light up.
10:56
Texas, San Antonio.
10:58
I don't care what anybody thinks.
11:00
Quinn Hughes is too much for them all day in Memorial, in Austin.
11:05
It should be easy work.
