00:00Saturday night, Austin, Texas, Texas favored by a point and a half.
00:06So more or less a pick them on a neutral side or pretty darn close to it.
00:10I mean, how much do you think the night environment is weighing into this and which side of this one
00:14do you like?
00:16Yeah, I mean, there's a reason this is that sitting at one and a half.
00:19Right, guys. So, you know, you look at the total right now, forty nine, forty nine and a half.
00:25You know, like you said, Bobby, a pick them.
00:27So if we're looking at a true neutral field, this is probably Ohio State, maybe one, one and a half.
00:33So you give three, probably maybe three and a half points to Texas for home field.
00:39Like you guys know better than I do. It's very rare to see Ohio State in the underdog role.
00:45And you look at a total here of forty nine. I haven't bet this game.
00:49And I'll be honest, I'm probably not going to bet this game pregame.
00:51I want to see how these game two teams come out.
00:54But if I had to bet it pregame, I know last year was 14 to seven.
00:59I think I would look a little bit towards the over.
01:01I'm fascinated to see what this young defense of Ohio State is going to do.
01:06We know how talented they are. But you do lose an Arvel Reese.
01:10You do lose a Sonny Stiles, a Caleb Downs.
01:12I mean, you lose a lot of pieces from a year ago.
01:15So as you guys know, it's not rebuild, it's reload at Ohio State.
01:19I think they've got a lot of exciting young talent on that defense.
01:22But then you look at both of these offenses, whether it be Julian saying connecting with Jeremiah Smith on the
01:29flip side,
01:29Arch Manning throwing to Cam Coleman and Hollywood Smothers in the backfield.
01:35The exciting young pieces or the exciting offensive pieces in this game.
01:40So I think one thing, you know, from a gambling standpoint, guys, if this is the game we're all going
01:45to be locked into on a Saturday night
01:47and you've got a point spread of one and a half and a total of forty nine,
01:50what you're going to get is you're going to get swings, you know, in in the live number here.
01:55And you're going to see comebacks. And, you know, thinking back to the NFL game on Wednesday night,
02:01I mean, you could have got the New England Patriots as I think a four and a half point underdog,
02:06almost like four or five plays into the game with Seattle on offense.
02:09So if you're out there and you've got the ability to bet live on your apps,
02:14if you're just sitting back and watching this in a state that has legalized sports gambling,
02:18you could really get a better number as this game starts.
02:21So that's always something, guys, when I look at it from a gambling standpoint.
02:24And I'm not trying to make it a cop out because I don't have a side pregame.
02:28But there are opportunities in game, especially when you have such a low spread like this.
02:32But if I were forced to make a play pregame, I think I would look over even though it was
02:3614 seven a year ago.
02:38I do think we get a little bit more of an offensive performance on a Saturday night in Austin.
