00:00But on the road, Missouri is a one-and-a-half point favorite here at most outlets.
00:03You take a look at the total, Joe, extremely low at 43-and-a-half.
00:07Expectations for a bounce back on which side, Missouri or Auburn?
00:11I mean, for me, I would say Missouri, just because they have everything to play for at this point.
00:16You talk about the optimism of Auburn.
00:18They start 3-and-0.
00:19It looked like Hugh Freeze was getting off the schneid.
00:22And all of a sudden, they lose three conference games to Oklahoma A&M in a rivalry game in Georgia.
00:28They threw the kitchen sink from a defensive perspective at the Bulldogs.
00:33They held Georgia to 79 rushing yards per game, two-and-a-half yards per carry, right?
00:38Do we expect that for a fourth time in a row with nothing to play for?
00:42Hugh Freeze could be on the outside looking in for a job.
00:45Donnie, I lean to Missouri.
00:47My best play, though, is the over because I think that defense all of a sudden gives up now
00:52after three straight performances where they didn't win a game.
00:55Their offense couldn't bail them out.
00:57I think Missouri gets back to form per Bula, Ahmad Hardy, big days.
01:02I like Missouri from the spread perspective, but I think we blow right through this 43-and-a-half.
01:07You were talking about last week with Auburn, no moral victories or no moral losses, I should say, in those games.
01:11You've got to pick up wins.
01:12If you're not winning in the SEC, you're going to be fired sooner than later here.
01:15Let's flip it over to the ACC, which turned into a monster game today, a new kickoff.
01:19That is Georgia Tech and Duke, Joe.
01:21The opening line had the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as a minus-one-and-a-half-point favorite.
01:25Every outlet, three to three-and-a-half.
01:28Not for Georgia Tech, but for the Duke Blue Devils.
01:30And a total, Joe, now up to 59-and-a-half.
01:33Big stakes in the ACC now.
01:34Yeah, absolutely.
01:36And again, I want to go back to Nebraska now because that loss for Matt Rule is all of a sudden now more rumor
01:42or the pendulum is more in favor of Manny Diaz.
01:45We don't know at that point.
01:46That's always a factor when we talk about the coaching perspective.
01:49I do feel that Duke is a little bit more physical on the offense and defense lines as opposed to Georgia Tech.
01:57I took Georgia Tech as the best bet last week.
01:59They eked out a cover against Virginia Tech.
02:02I love Haynes King.
02:03I love Jamal Haynes.
02:04And keep an eye out for Malachi Holesley, the transfer for Penn.
02:08He ripped that Virginia Tech defense 11 yards per carry, 124 yards on the ground.
02:14It's over a key number.
02:16Like, they're begging you to take Georgia Tech, I feel like.
02:19I would lay it reluctantly with Duke.
02:21I do believe in men's eye.
02:23I do believe in the physicality of Manny Diaz on the defensive side of the ball playing at home.
02:28I would reluctantly lay it.
02:30But you have to be caught.
02:31If they get this win, Donnie, Duke, Diaz could be the frontrunner now for the job.
02:36Amazing.
02:37Diaz might be the frontrunner for the Miami job.
02:39You know what I mean?
02:39At this point.
02:40No, you can't.
02:41Donnie, he can't go back.
02:42He can't go back.
02:43Like, you're buying into Mario being a complete flop, aren't you?
02:46No, I don't know.
02:47The comeback's always stronger than the fall down, Joe.
02:50That's what they like to say in college football.
02:52And how about this?
02:52The Holy War, Joe.
02:53Utah and BYU.
02:55When I was growing up as a kid watching, like, Ty Detmer and, you know, knock off Miami,
02:58which really upset me, it's a great atmosphere for football.
03:01And the rivalry is sincere.
03:03But having said this, minus one and a half, Joe, they're now up to three and a half here for Utah.
03:07Are you buying?
03:08BYU, unbeaten at home?
03:09Come on now.
03:10This is a tough game.
03:12I mean, again, Bachmeier and BYU just seem to, they rope-a-dope you, right?
03:17Right.
03:17They play down to the level of competition, and then they all of a sudden win.
03:21Now, Dampier got a very good win.
03:23He rushed for over 100 yards on the ground against Arizona State.
03:27They cover as a five and a half point home favorite against the Sun Devils.
03:31Jeff Sims, though, completely one-dimensional.
03:34It was a huge downgrade from Sam Levitt to where Jeff Sims is.
03:38He's a better runner than he is passer, and that defense has bounced back into form.
03:43I would take the points with BYU.
03:44I don't love this game all that much, rivalry game.
03:47I do feel, though, we can get over the total.
03:49I know both defenses are physical.
03:52Yeah.
03:52But 49 and a half in the Holy War, I would take BYU as a home dog, and I would take over the 49 and a hook.
03:59Let's squeeze one more in here, Joe.
04:00Texas A&M and Arkansas.
04:01Again, weather conditions are going to come into this heavy rain at times for A&M, who now is a top-five team, favored by seven and a half on the road, 58 and a half is the total.
04:09It's one of those, I don't want to say look-ahead game.
04:11They should win this one.
04:12Any trap scenarios here in that rain?
04:13I like Arkansas.
04:14Here's the thing.
04:15You know, the last three games in this right now, remember, for eight years it was played in Arlington.
04:20It's played in Fayetteville today.
04:21But I buy into Bobby Petrino.
04:24Last three games have been decided by 6.7 points per game, 21-17 last year.
