00:00The night cap on a Saturday at the shoe in Columbus. It's the

00:08eight nine matchup between Ohio State and Tennessee. Eight nine

00:12in seed but six in seven just so you know in terms of those

00:17college football playoff rankings. The Buckeyes more

00:20than a touchdown favorite. Seven and a half points at home.

00:23The total stands at forty-six and a hook. Joe, a lot of

00:27people expecting defense to be on display tomorrow night in

00:31Columbus. What say you? Yes, and and listen, Ohio State's

00:37defense very good. Tennessee's defense highly underrated all

00:42year long here, Ben. The other interesting part about Tennessee

00:45and Josh Heupel is that as the season has progressed with

00:51their freshman quarterback, they have slowed the tempo down a

00:55lot. This is not the run and gun of years past that we've

00:59seen with Josh Heupel and Tennessee. So, I think that is

01:04worth keeping in the back of your head in an extremely cold

01:07night in Columbus. Weather will not be great for a SEC team to

01:13have to go to the shoe, one of the hardest places to play and

01:16get it done here. So, I agree that I would only be looking at

01:21the under but I think if that's the case, if you like the

01:25under, then I absolutely like the Tennessee team total under

01:30and I like the Ohio State team total over because unless Chip

01:36Kelly and Ryan Day are drunk again and they're going to do

01:40the same thing that they did against Michigan where instead

01:43of utilizing the best wide receivers in the game, you're

01:47going to run the ball for some reason and try to prove that

01:50you're tougher in the trenches. I don't think that happens. I

01:53think they score and score a lot in this game against

01:56Tennessee and I like their defense but I think Tennessee's

01:59team's total under is not a bad look here.
