00:00A 12-45 start is going to take place during the big game at the Shoe.

00:03A 10-point favorite for the Kentucky Wildcats going up against Toledo of the MAAC.

00:09Yeah, disappointing season for Kentucky and Mark Stoops.

00:12They got abused by South Carolina earlier in the year and didn't recover.

00:16Toledo, one of the best teams in the MAAC.

00:18And we saw the MAAC step up, right, Thursday night, cover those games.

00:22We saw Western Michigan cover last night against Michigan State.

00:25So now I think this is a hot play by a lot of cappers here.

00:30It is.

00:30Everybody loves the Toledo Rockets.

00:32I will say Texas A&M former quarterback Zach Calzada will get the start for Kentucky.

00:40This is a bounce-back spot to make a statement.

00:42They still bring back three starters on the offensive line.

00:45We know Kentucky's very physical in the interior.

00:48It's a bounce-back spot for me, for Mark Stoops.

00:51Lined to open up basically 7.5s in the offseason.

00:54It's now up to 9.5s, 10s.

00:57I'm going to roll with Kentucky.

00:58I think they pound them in Lexington.

01:00How about the Chanticleers going on the road to take on the Virginia Cavaliers?

01:04I believe it's Matt Shaw, Wally Lundy in the backfield for Virginia.

01:07What do we got today?

01:07Virginia Coastal.

01:08Come on.

01:09Yeah, so Virginia lost their quarterback, Calandria.

01:12He transferred out.

01:14But they get in Chandler Morris, the former North Texas and TCU quarterback.

01:18He can chuck it.

01:19You know, this line opened up at 11.5.

01:22We're seeing, I believe, 13.5s in the market right now.

01:25So, I would take the points down.

01:28Now that we've had adjustment from 11.5 to 13.5, I would take the points with Coastal.

01:33What I do find intriguing, 60.5s for a Virginia game typically, to me, is high.

01:39I think we blow through the total.

01:41I actually like points of plenty here.

01:43How about that?

01:43I want to talk about points of plenty here.

01:45And this deals with Penn State.

01:46I'm telling you right now, there's no better coach in the country that can go to his alumni

01:50and say, I got you on this big spread today.

01:52We're going to run it up under the guise of, well, these guys deserve to play as well.

01:56So, why am I going to stop the game plan for them?

01:58The reason I'm talking about this, Nevada comes to town to take on Penn State in State College.

02:0359.5 was the total of the opening number, Joe.

02:05It's down to 53.5 at a lot of outlets.

02:07But look at this price point.

02:09Minus 42.5 is a favorite with a 53.5 total.

02:13Penn State here, do they get the total and the cover by themselves, Joe?

02:18I think they get the cover, meaning laying the 42.5.

02:22Here's the thing.

02:23I think they get the total, and here's why.

02:25Do they get the cover and the game doesn't go over?

02:28That would be a shot.

02:29No, I'll tell you why.

02:30I think Nevada can potentially at least put up points to get them through the total.

02:36I like the total more than I like Penn State.

02:38Penn State out of conference, Donnie.

02:40Again, straight up opponents, right?

02:42At a conference, dating back for the last eight or nine seasons, 44-7, straight up against

02:47non-conference Big Ten opponents, right?

02:50They won their games last year by an average margin of victory of 26 points per game.

02:54We saw them struggle in critical spots.

02:56We saw them struggle against Bowling Green.

02:59They were laying 34.5, and they were trailing at half.

03:02Jim Knowles comes over from Ohio State, but again, it's a new scheme.

03:05You know, we always talk about coordinators.

03:07Even though the talent's there, what if there's a broken coverage?

03:10I'm worried about the total in that aspect, saying, oh, they're going to shut them down,

03:15laying 42.5.

03:16I'd much rather take the total.
