00:00Ohio State and Oregon, I know there were some flat sevens earlier
00:06that people kind of clipped here on the Buckeyes.
00:09This thing's now seven and a half, even up to eight in some spots.
00:14Total's been tricky, has been dropping down,
00:16and continues to fall a little bit here, Dave, some 44 and a half.
00:20So I know that that's a move you agree with.
00:23Yeah, I like the under here.
00:24I talked myself into it in the last two segments ago of the show
00:28and asked our producer to throw it on a graphic.
00:30I just think you have two teams with backup quarterbacks struggling to move the ball.
00:34I'm not buying that all of a sudden the Ohio State defense is poor
00:37because they had a bad game against USC last week.
00:40It's still a really, really good offense.
00:42You know I like taking unders in the Big Ten, and this one's speaking to me,
00:45so I'm going to go ahead and take it.
00:47Fair enough.
00:48And, you know, total-wise, it's a tricky call here.
00:51Even side-wise, this is a tricky call.
00:53Maybe I'm getting a little cute, but wanted to still be involved
00:56with all these big games.
00:57I'm going to play the Oregon rush total.
01:00This is a Fandle market over 86 and a half.
01:06And when you look at Oregon's per-game stuff,
01:12of course it's going to be well over this, right?
01:15The Ducks average around 140 rushing yards per game.
01:21Simultaneously, if you look at what Ohio State gives up,
01:23it's going to be under this, you would think.
01:25It's actually not.
01:27It's 95.8.
01:30So, I don't need Oregon to run for 200 yards.
01:36I need this team to hit, like, one explosive or keep it close.
01:40And I really, really, really don't think that the plan should and will be Dylan Rayola in Columbus dropping back
01:5435 times.
01:56I'll add this as well just quickly.
01:59The reason, though, that I'm playing this team number is good luck figuring out who runs the ball on this
02:07Oregon team.
02:08Brandon Smith had eight carries.
02:10The area Hill Jr. had four carries.
02:12Jordan Davidson had three carries.
02:13Like, DeJuan Riggs had six carries.
02:16Like, it's a total mess.
02:17So, I'm not going to play a straight prop.
02:19I'm going to play the rush number, Dave, on Oregon.
02:22Yeah, I think that's a smart play.
02:24I said before I think both teams are going to try to control the ball, why I like the under.
02:28If the game plan for either one of these teams is to drop back and throw 40 times, that means
02:33the score is a whole lot different than we expect it to be.
02:36I do think you'll get a dose of each team running the ball.
02:39And you'll look at this game at halftime.
02:40And I'm not sure I can do this twice, but I once said the score is going to be 9
02:44-6 at halftime.
02:45And I believe that was the Indiana-Michigan game was 9-6 at halftime.
02:49It might not be this low, but I do think it'll be low.
