00:00It's Miami Hurricanes taking on LSMU, 10.5-point favorite, 10-point favorite,
00:056 out of every 10 tickets here coming in on SMU.
00:07That line's starting to creep lower and lower, a total of 50.5.
00:10Miami got the cobwebs out last week, Joe.
00:1242 unanswered.
00:14They might get 42 unanswered today on SMU.
00:15I don't know about that.
00:16Yeah, come on now.
00:17Buy into it.
00:18I'm not buying into it.
00:20I'll just say this.
00:21In the offseason, this line had SMU favored by 2.5 points.
00:24Oh, my goodness.
00:25And we know how dominant SMU prior to this year has been.
00:30At home.
00:30You're talking about this line being 10.5, as high as 12.5 earlier in the week
00:35because of the disappointing road performance against Wake Forest.
00:38They laid 2.5.
00:40They lost it outright 13-12.
00:42But this is still a front seven.
00:44That's very physical in run support.
00:46Holding opposing offenses, SMU is to 120 rushing yards per game, 3.6 yards per carry,
00:5335% third-down defense.
00:55You have a veteran quarterback in Kevin Jennings.
00:58The fact that they lost last week, Donnie, and again, this is going to be their Super Bowl now.
01:03They beat Clemson on the road.
01:05Battle-tested team.
01:06I don't know if they win it, but you want to give me 10.5 points with SMU.
01:11I think they're in this game from start to finish, and I'll just say this.
01:14Miami last year on the road.
01:16Syracuse lost.
01:17Georgia Tech lost.
01:18They struggled with Louisville.
01:19We've seen Carson Beck during his tenure at Georgia struggle in road environments.
01:24Give me the 10.5 with the Mustangs.
01:26I think they're alive.
01:27Malachi, Tony, big game today for those Hurricanes here.
01:31We'll see if they can cover that double digits here.
01:32Texas Tech and Kansas State.
01:34The little apple, the center of attention today.
01:36But how about this, Joe?
01:37Texas Tech comes in minus 7.5 and a total of 51.5.
01:41Any quarterback situations we need to know about for Texas Tech today?
01:43Yeah, so Will Hammond, the backup that was starting for Barron Morton, he's out for the year ACL.
01:49He won't be back for nine months.
01:51They're going to be looking for a quarterback in the offseason.
01:53The former starter in QB1, Barron Morton, is back.
01:57But I have to be honest, Donnie.
01:58When I saw this line, it opened up at 5.5 midweek or Sunday night.
02:03Saw 7.5s immediately.
02:05And you're talking about a series perspective where K-State has owned Texas Tech.
02:10They haven't played since 2023.
02:12But from the series, K-State won eight straight against the Red Raiders.
02:16Typically, Texas Tech struggles.
02:18But I expect a bounce-back effort.
02:20The fact that we're seeing this line kick out from 5.5 to 7.5, a little bit intriguing.
02:26I mean, I'm not betting this game.
02:28But I will just say now, I think I lean to Texas Tech with Morton coming back.
02:32Let's get to this next one, which I've started to turn into a fan, Joe.
02:35The Hoosiers, usually it's about basketball, right?
02:38It's about football.
02:39Now, that is a football state.
02:40Look at the Colts in the NFL.
02:41Look at Indiana.
02:42And look at Notre Dame.
02:43What a state that is.
02:44Throw Purdue out right there.
02:45They don't even play football in college at this point right now.
02:47But if I understand this point correctly, Joe, 22.5 is the opening number today, or this
02:52week for Indiana.
02:53Now sits at 20.5 and 21, and a total of 50.5.
02:57Signetti is one of those James Franklin on steroid type of guys.
03:01I could never stand James Franklin.
03:02I didn't even like Signetti last year.
03:04But I love what he's preaching now.
03:05And the one thing I understand is he takes great joy in humiliating the other football
03:10team, Joe.
03:11No line is high enough for me not to take it for Indiana.
03:14I love Indiana to blow the doors off Maryland today.
03:17We're in disagreement.
03:18Come on.
03:20Listen.
03:21You don't even know any players on Maryland, do you?
03:23Malik Washington.
03:24All right.
03:24All right.
03:25Doesn't play their auto.
03:25Yeah.
03:26Hang on.
03:27So, Maryland starts 4-0.
03:29Yeah.
03:29They lost three games over the past four weeks by an average margin of 3.3 points per
03:35game.
03:35They've only lost by a total of 10 points.
03:38They went toe-to-toe with Nebraska, went toe-to-toe with Washington, covered both of those
03:42games, but lost.
03:43They're still very physical in the front seven.
03:45Again, we saw this line Sunday open at 17-and-a-half.
03:50Donnie, they bet it immediately up to 21-and-a-half, 22.
03:53Now we're seeing it settle back in.
03:55I like Maryland plus the points.
03:57Again, I think they can run the football potentially.
04:00I don't know if they could go toe-to-toe in a shootout with Indiana.
04:04I think a lower-scoring game favors the Terps.
04:07But they're plus 11 in turnover margin, Maryland.
04:10One of the best turnover margins in all of college football.
04:12I think that matters.
04:14I think their front seven is athletic enough to play within the number.
04:18This is one of my better dogs of the weekend.
04:20I actually like Maryland to be live today, Don.
04:23Should be like in Miami.
04:25Should be like in Indiana.
04:26Road teams favored, Joe.
04:27What could go wrong?
04:28Absolutely nothing here.
04:30How about this, though?
04:30Cincinnati is a road team today, Joe.
04:32They're not favored.
04:33They're taking on the Utah Utes.
04:35This line opened up at FanDuel, Joe.
04:37Seven and a half.
04:38Every other outlet, ten and a half now.
04:40Even up to 11s at some spots here.
04:43Utah at home against the Bearcats.
04:45Fifty-five and a half total this one, Joe.
04:47What are we looking at here?
04:48Well, I was very impressed with Cincinnati.
04:50If you didn't think Cincinnati was for real, they shut down Sawyer, Robertson, and Baylor last week.
04:55Only as a three and a half, four-point favorite at home.
04:58This team can run the football with Tywon Walker, the former Wisconsin transfer.
05:02They could also throw it.
05:03Sorsby is a gutty quarterback.
05:05They're going to be without their running back, starting running back, Simon, today.
05:08But it doesn't matter.
05:09The physical offensive line, Dampierre is 100%.
05:13Salt Lake City, I think you're seeing that line.
05:16I really like the over, Donnie.
05:17I think we could blow through this total.
05:19Sidewise, I would take a shot with the Bearcats.
