00:00And that is going to be Colorado and Dion taking his team to a neutral site location, by the way,
00:07taking on Georgia Tech.
00:08This one is going to be in Atlanta.
00:12So Georgia Tech, six and a half point favorite.
00:15This has been all Georgia Tech as far as tickets and money.
00:20But the line keeps moving towards Colorado.
00:23So, Craig, it looks like we've got our very first public, you know, Sharps versus the public here, because the
00:31public doesn't believe Colorado is going to be any better than that three and nine team a year ago.
00:37But yet that line keeps moving towards Colorado, which tells me influential money might be looking to back Dion and
00:46Colorado.
00:47Georgia Tech, Haines King ain't walking through that locker room door for a ninth year, Craig.
00:53He's already moved on.
00:55So is most of that offensive team from a year ago.
00:59They got worse on offense.
01:02Dion got better on defense here.
01:04Now, whether or not that translates to a win is one thing, but got to feel if I can get
01:09a touchdown, I might want to take the points here tonight.
01:13Yeah, and let's also keep in mind that, yes, it is a neutral site, but, you know, Atlanta sports fans
01:20like I do.
01:21I think a lot of those old Falcon fans may be pulling for Dion tonight in Atlanta tonight a little
01:27bit.
01:27Yeah, no, I think so.
01:29Yeah.
01:30You know, Georgia Tech's running back, you know, is still one of those guys that is very explosive.
01:36And I think that the Yellow Jackets are going to try to run the ball a lot today.
01:40And look, we're going to find out if what Dion did by just basically overhauling the defense completely ended up
01:48working.
01:49And what's funny is that since he's been at Colorado, remember, I mean, Dion did play some wide receiver, very
01:54little, but he was mostly, of course, a defensive back, a cornerback in the NFL.
01:58And it's been the defense that's been a real struggle with them.
02:01I think offensively, the Buffaloes are going to be good again.
02:04And I think that they're going to score some points tonight, which is why I'm looking at this total of
02:0751.
02:08And I think there's going to be a lot of points.
02:10I don't know why, but I just think that this is one of those 31-27 games that comes right
02:16down to the wire.
02:17And then, of course, you mentioned the points, maybe so with Colorado as well.
02:21But just so hard to predict to me, and the reason why I can't fully back Colorado is you and
02:29I have been doing this a long time.
02:30We're talking about 11 new starters on defense and all through the transfer portal.
02:35Like, I mean, that is just, that's a stunner.
02:38You know, that doesn't even happen in the NFL with free agency.
02:40So it may take a little time for them to click.
02:43But to me, it is the best game on the board and the most intriguing game on the board as
02:48well.
02:49Yeah, well, certainly it's the game that is the closest from a spread perspective here, which makes the most sense.
02:57But, you know, tread carefully here in week one.
03:00You've got, it's a new era in college football, Craig, which is so different than just, let's talk five years
03:06ago, Craig,
03:07where we could actually look at continuing and be like, oh, look at this.
03:11We got the returning line, same offensive line, same defensive front, same quarterback for a, you know,
03:18we're in an era now where with the NIL, it's like, oh, look, they got two guys that were on
03:24the team last year coming across the board.
03:28And now you have all of these different coaching changes, new coaches, new offensive coordinators, new defensive coordinators.
03:36This is an every year thing for the foreseeable future where it makes week one through week four, I think,
03:44very treacherous.
03:45Does it not?
03:47It does.
03:48And that's why I think that, like, even Wake Forest will be tested tonight.
03:52I think Utah is going to win.
03:55But without Kyle Whittingham, how are things going to look for Utah?
03:59They're talking about, you know, that team having a brand new offense this season.
04:04And so, you know, look, quarterback transfers are just rampant in college football.
04:10Coaching changes are just rampant.
04:12And maybe even if we go back to the Georgia Tech-Colorado game, maybe, Joe, we missed, you know,
04:18really the top story of it all in this game, too, is that the quarterback from Georgia Tech is Alberto
04:25Mendoza.
04:26This is Fernando Mendoza's brother.
04:28He's starting tonight for Georgia Tech.
04:31So I do think as crappy as the night is, and you said it at the beginning, it is true.
04:37These are not great matchups to start.
04:40I think that game in particular is going to be okay.
04:43I think we're going to get a good game out of that one.
04:45The rest of them I can't promise.
04:46The lines are huge.
04:48You know, UCF's line is huge tonight.
04:50I believe they're like a five-touchdown favorite as well.
04:52And even tomorrow night, we may not even have any great games because Miami could absolutely crush Stanford.
04:57That's possible, too.
04:59But I do think Colorado, Georgia Tech tonight, as I'm watching the Marlins and Royals, I'll be checking in to
05:07see what happens in that game.
