00:00Welcome to the Beck UL Daily Boost, I'm Lucy Bird of Beck UL and I'm joined by Matt Horner

00:09and we have an NFL odds boost for all of you today for this weekend.

00:13This is on Justin Herbert and CJ Stroud to each have over 224 and a half passing yards

00:18boosted to plus 200 at Caesars, what do you think of this, Matt?

00:22Yeah, I mean, it's not totally unachievable here.

00:25It's probably going to be tough for both of these guys to be putting up tons of passing

00:29yards here.

00:30I actually bet the under in this game as well with the Texans.

00:34Passing yards, the Chargers defense is top 10, seventh in the league in terms of passing

00:39yards allowed.

00:40Texans, as well, surprisingly, sixth in the league against the past.

00:46So it's going to be tough for these guys to be lighting it up through the air, in my opinion,

00:51but you're getting two to one odds here.

00:53So, you know, if you want to put maybe like a quarter unit on it or something like that,

00:58it's probably not the greatest thing in the world, but it's definitely doable.

01:02I mean, it's not a ton of passing yards in the first place, 225 yards and both of these

01:06guys we've seen in the past light it up.

01:08So it's doable.

01:09But again, maybe like a quarter unit, it would be valid.

01:12Exactly.

01:13Love that.

01:52and at Lucille Burge favorite bets for today or this weekend or I'm going to this weekend.

01:57I'm going to the NFL and I'm taking the Ravens to cover.

02:01I see a lot of people on the Steelers because it's a big spread.

02:04It is nine and a half now, so I'm taking the Ravens minus nine and a half.

02:07Not that much of a difference.

02:08I had them at 10 too, but the Steelers have hit a bit of a skid.

02:12They have lost their last four.

02:14The Ravens have won their last four.

02:15They have also covered their last four.

02:18So like the Ravens to win this game even by two touchdowns, two touchdowns perhaps.

02:23So Ravens minus nine and a half.

02:25I like very much.

02:26It definitely could happen.

02:27I'm going to go to tonight's big game.

02:32They've got Penn State going up against my Notre Dame fighting Irish.

02:36Obviously I'm going to be rooting for Notre Dame.

02:38I hope they certainly win against Penn State tonight.

02:43But unfortunately, as somebody who also cares about his money and winning bets, I don't

02:49have a bias when it comes to betting at all.

02:53Everything that I've looked at in the betting market tells me Penn State is probably going

02:57to win the game, which stinks.

02:58I hate that.

02:59I can't stand it when I see that, but at the same time, I'm looking to make money here.

03:04So I took Penn State on the money line.

03:06One and a half is fine as well if you want that extra point there.

03:12Everybody's betting Notre Dame.

03:13People seem to love Marcus Freeman right now.

03:16They want to fade James Franklin in a big game that's monumental.

03:19You know, they'll go to the national championship if they win.

03:22And just people just don't seem to like Penn State and that just sickens me.

03:31So I'm betting I'm going with Penn State here to win the game tonight.

03:35Hopefully it can come through and win for us like Villanova did yesterday in college

03:40basketball.

03:42As we saw with that line, why was Villanova favorite?

03:45There was a reason they were favorite that game.

03:47They were going to win.

03:48Right.

03:49So and St. Louis also beat 14 and one St. Bonaventure now.

03:53That's right.

03:54Look at that.

03:55Yeah.

03:56So you just got to look at these college basketball lines and stuff.

03:58So Ohio State today, guys, their favorite against Oregon.

04:02There you go.

04:03There's an extra free bet.

04:04Why is Ohio State favorite against Oregon?

04:07There's a reason for it.

04:09So Ohio State's money line, that'll be an extra bet for you there.

04:12But Penn State as well.

04:13I love that.

04:14I, too, am rooting for Notre Dame.

04:17Of course, you know, your bet is great.

04:19But go Irish.

04:20I will gladly lose money.

04:21Like if Notre Dame wins, I will not be sad about it.

04:26But at the same time, I'm betting Penn State because it just seems to me in the betting

04:30market that that's the team to be on.

04:33But I won't be that sad.

04:34Yeah.

04:35So we will see.

04:36Very exciting day.

04:37Very exciting game.

04:38So go Irish.

04:39Get in on our odds boost.

04:40Plus 200 at Caesars.
