01:44the two
01:44utes over to paul sarah yeah i'm i'm with tj i'm gonna take utah lane to two and a half

01:50like it could be like a dorian gray situation where the better they are the more life they
01:53suck away from kyle whittingham so i'm gonna go i'm gonna go utah oh my god over to david utah
02:01is
02:01coming off the highs of all highs that's right the holy war so i have to go arizona in this
02:08game
02:09rico goes utah uh we're all about noah fafita oh you gotta take arizona here this is a letdown
02:15spot utah emptied the bag in the holy war there is no way you're going on the road here it's
02:20fafita
02:21time number 19 old miss traveling to unranked ou oklahoma laying one and a half question mark
02:30based off of my smu prediction i should not ask questions but old miss still with only three
02:37losses oklahoma with four their season's pretty much over i i could see some desperation from
02:42old miss here on the road i'm taking the rebs thank you xavier legette paul i'm going with old
02:49miss like trinidad chambliss has had some bad games recently he's got to turn things around so i'm
02:54going to go with old miss david yeah i'm probably going to get in trouble for this i just don't
03:00like
03:01oklahoma though i get their favorite in this game i don't like anything i've seen from them all year
03:06so i've got to go old miss rico goes oklahoma oh you line doesn't make any sense i'm not even
03:11questioning it i'm done all right uw laying three and a half they travel to michigan state i almost
03:17said rico over to tj decidedly not rico a little less tan um mike i think they can do it
03:24again i think
03:25they can do it back to back weeks for the spartans got a chance to to win out i think
03:30to still make bowl
03:31eligible make pat fitzgerald oh first season somewhat of a success i don't want to overdo it
03:37you already have picked the game at home i'm taking the spartans over to paul sarah so i'm
03:42going to take washington i think michigan state has a letdown after the big game they just won
03:46yeah give me washington lane to three and a half over to david yeah uh winning the rivalry game they
03:51have no players injuries and no talent so i gotta go washington here uh rico goes michigan state oh
03:58shocking oh
04:04there's no amount of blue chew gold that could save msu this weekend give me uw michigan at number 16
04:11oregon oregon lane 10 and a half tj yeah that's all the ducks for me same reason i gave a
04:16old miss
04:17three losses might still have an out uh back back backdoor chance in a couple weeks to to do
04:22something in the postseason this might be the biggest point differential of any top 25 team
04:28this week i think oregon's about to absolutely crush the wolverines out on the west coast over
04:34to paul sarah yeah i'm going to take oregon lane the 10 and a half um it's i to tj's
04:40point michigan's
04:40offense is very bad and the even worse news is that they're in eugene but uh kyle's actually flew
04:45into portland uh-oh wrong airport transfer for kyle uh david b t a that's what this game is going
04:56to
04:56be yeah destruction oregon all day a recall also takes oregon there's just no world i could take
05:03michigan after what i watched i don't know who gets off hey let's take uh let's fire the oc and
05:07take the worst position group and make that coach the oc yeah that makes a lot of sense
05:17we're all on the same page sorry mike we're all on the same page you're fine yeah i gotta take
05:24oregon i don't know who gets off the bus or what gets off the bus all right nfl here's your
05:29rat line
05:29of the week people the niners lay in three and a half as they travel to dallas huh hit it
05:36you know
05:37what it's such a rat line but the cowboys just won't die they just won't go away and you combine
05:43that with the fact that mike your team lost last night they're probably still sniffing that division
05:48a little bit out there in the nfc east i'm not picking them to win but maybe they get that
05:53hook
05:54maybe they lose by exactly three give me the cowboys class give me the cowboys 24 21 all right paulie
06:00um i mean the cowboys are it's true they won't go away but i think the 49ers put them away
06:05give me
06:05the 49ers laying the three and a half that's a player thank you david what a weekend it'll be
06:11uh so i am gonna go with the cowboys here no i'm going with the 49ers the cowboys are gonna
06:16blow it
06:17when everyone thinks they shouldn't 49ers for the for rico as well shocking uh cowboys the rat line
06:23packers at home lay in three to the vikings kirk cousins debut i'm taking the packers i am paul i'm
06:33also going to take the packers i don't think cousins stabilizes their offense right away i
06:37think it maybe takes a week or two so give me the packers david nope takes one week vikings rico
06:42takes viking i'm taking the vikings worst pass pro line in the league third worst run block line in
06:47the league and you're facing that defense if the vikings can get four third down conversions it does
06:52matter jordan love last week we're gonna don't matter let's do some we'll bet some action i've had
06:57enough i'm in steelers bangles bangles laying three and a half on sunday night you know what
07:03to do come on i don't trust the bangles that's right that's right this is this could probably
