00:00And we are going to start with a Saturday game, Boise State and Washington, eight and

00:05a half point spread, 52 and a half total bowl season is upon us here.

00:11And that is Wash Hong Tong is playing in this game.

00:14So let's go Wash Hong Tong.

00:16You got to love it, right?

00:17Well, Boise State, kudos to them taking down the Mountain West Championship at home.

00:22They got their quarterback, you know, Maddox Mattson back.

00:25And boy, oh boy, they looked pretty invincible over UNLV.

00:30Washington, of course, it's been a little while since they played, but they do have a

00:35lot to be excited about moving forward, providing that, you know, Jed Fish and company there

00:41are able to continue to afford their young quarterback, Williams, and a lot of those other weapons

00:46there.

00:46But let me preface this by saying, be very careful here with betting some of these bowl

00:53games early, simply because you got to make sure you know who's in it.

00:58Now, when you got teams like Boise State and Washington, there may not be a whole lot of

01:03guys that are opting out because they want to go and, you know, wait for the NFL draft.

01:08So some of these games you're going to be okay in.

01:11But we are starting to see a little bit of over money come in on this one.

01:15And I agree with it here.

01:16Listen, Boise State with their starting quarterback, as you can see against UNLV, it's a very dangerous

01:22team here.

01:23And they have a history of not caring that you are supposedly one of these big conference

01:28teams.

01:29They don't care.

01:30But I would expect that 51 and a half right now, Donnie, I expect this total to continue

01:36to rise.

01:36Would not shock me, though, if the spread comes back down a little bit towards Boise

01:41State.

01:42How about that?

01:43Army, Navy shaping up this Saturday, the 13th year opening line.

01:47Minus three and a half is a look ahead, Joe.

01:48Now we're seeing it blistered up to six and a half and six is depending on where you're

01:53shopping at.

01:53And as always, a low total this one, the 39 and a half have dropped to 38 and a half

01:57because we usually get 15 play drives that eat up eight minutes and have a field goal

02:02attempt from 32 yards go wide left in these ones.

02:05Army, Navy, what's your spread line here this weekend?

02:07Well, they used to be, Donnie, right?

02:09This game every year, I didn't matter.

02:12It was an automatic under.

02:13Didn't care.

02:14Was it 32?

02:1532, 32, don't care, under, automatic under, because the greatest way to defend the option

02:21is by running the option.

02:25And that's what makes these games so interesting.

02:27But like everything else in the sport, Donnie, the game has changed.

02:31And so have these two teams over the year.

02:33I am shocked that this opened up as low as it did, four and a half.

02:37And I get it.

02:38It's a rivalry game.

02:39It's Army.

02:40It's Navy, but Navy's offense is clearly heads and tails above what Army is.

02:46The fact that you can get this under a touchdown is head scratching to me.

02:51All Navy, because I don't see any Army money coming in by the time we get to kick here.

02:57More bowl games, Joe.

02:58Old Dominion going to take on South Florida.

03:00That line opened up at six and a half.

03:02You see most outlets still at six and a half.

03:03Some even have crept up to seven at this point right now.

03:06And a total of 56 and a half.

03:09Different coaches coaching these games.

03:12ODU, how motivated is South Florida?

03:14South Florida's a new coach.

03:15Their coach left.

03:16What's the spread line for this one, Joe?

03:18Well, you're right, right?

03:19So now we've got old Dominion who is always going to play with a chip on their shoulder, Donnie.

03:24And we love this team this year.

03:27They absolutely took no prisoners.

03:30They have one of the best young quarterbacks nobody has heard of in the sport.

03:34And Colton Joseph here.

03:35The kid is an absolute monster.

03:37Byram there for South Florida, also great.

03:39But the problem is, once the coach left for South Florida, you don't know what you're going to get.

03:46You don't know who's opting out, who is not.

03:48But I can tell you right now, if Old Dominion keeps its core ready to go and Colton Joseph is under center,

03:55then I would wait.

03:56I would get as many points as possible and back ODU in this spot,

04:00because I think they're going to come out with a point to prove.
