1:27

It's a whole new game. The biggest story in

1:29

the NFL this week has been the status of

1:31

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, of

1:33

course, with the elbow got dinged up last week against

1:35

the Jets. It seemed he's

1:37

not gonna play. I mean, that's going I'm just gonna say. I mean, he

1:39

hasn't been ruled out yet, but he hasn't practiced this

1:41

week. The point spread is down to three and a half.

1:43

I think at this point would be almost a miracle if

1:45

he does go out there in play. And joining us now to talk

1:47

about it is Buffalo Bills radio analyst

1:50

and former senator Eric Wood. You can check

1:52

out the What's Next with Eric Wood podcast

1:54

and his new book is called tackle

1:57

What's Next. Eric, thanks for the time today. How are

1:59

you doing? Yeah.

2:00

My pleasure. Thanks for having me all guys. Yeah.

2:02

Would you agree with what I just said there? Just

2:05

gonna going to assume that Josh is not going to play

2:07

this week because, you know, he hasn't practiced? Yeah.

2:09

I mean, that's where the indications are at

2:11

this point unless there was some type

2:14

of big revelation in the elbow overnight.

2:16

You would assume that he would miss this week. He

2:18

had a UCL injury in twenty eighteen

2:21

as rookie year and missed four weeks.

2:23

We have no idea what

2:25

the severity is this time compared to that

2:28

time. But this is a team with super bowl

2:30

aspirations and you don't want to

2:32

risk having him long term this

2:34

season or in the future beyond

2:36

this season by rushing him back out

2:38

there if it if it's truly something

2:41

that needs to heal.

2:42

Yeah. Yeah. Absolute. And I think they're in good

2:44

hands. Do you agree? I mean, I don't Case

2:46

has a lot of experience. He's been to an NFC

2:49

title game. He won eleven and three that

2:51

you're with the Vikings. With the weapons that

2:53

he has in a good defense, I think they could

2:55

win a couple games here if he's out. Yeah.

2:57

And he went two and I was a starter in Cleveland

3:00

last year. And so you bring in

3:02

a case key number to get

3:04

for a situation like this. Like, you're

3:06

not gonna pay a a big time starter

3:08

at the NFL to be your backup.

3:10

you bring in a guy that has won in the

3:12

national football league, who has a ton of experience.

3:15

He's in his eleventh year. The

3:17

guys in the locker room will rally around

3:19

a guy like Case Keenan, if he is in

3:21

fact the starter Sunday. And so that's where

3:23

the bills against the seven and one team

3:25

in

3:25

the Vikings are still favorite at home because

3:27

you do have a quality backup in case scheme.

3:30

Mhmm. So you mentioned this a

3:32

minute ago, they have no idea how

3:34

serious the injury actually is, and there's no doubt.

3:36

I mean, this has been the talking point

3:38

all week long in your city. So

3:41

is it only a guess at this point

3:43

about the short term long

3:45

term effects of this injury?

3:48

from the outside looking in and

3:50

the bills have kept it very tight to the best

3:53

on what exactly is

3:55

going on with Xelba. We know it's in

3:57

UCL spraying, but the extent of it,

3:59

we don't know. So we can only make

4:02

guesses at this point, the bills traditionally

4:04

are very cautious with

4:06

injuries. They hold guys out with

4:08

regularity they're worried

4:10

about long term in

4:13

season long effects of these injuries. For

4:15

soft tissue injuries, UCL included

4:17

the bills are generally very cautious

4:20

and that's where most people would assume after

4:22

two days of not practicing at all that Josh would

4:24

be out this week. Yeah. Well, as you said, I

4:26

mean, the key here is just getting this guy

4:28

back and being healthy and I know

4:30

that the the dream scenario here

4:32

before the season started was to host the AFC

4:34

title game at home in Buffalo. Those conditions

4:37

But if it if it means that this team has to slip

4:39

to the two or maybe even the three seed,

4:41

they'll take that all day long as this guy's gonna

4:43

be healthy for the pro a potential playoff

4:45

run.

4:47

Yeah. You're exactly right. And and I'm not

4:49

sure how long we could even be looking

4:51

at Josh being out. This game against

4:53

an NFC phone in the Vikings.

4:56

is not

4:58

as crucial to those end of the year

5:00

standings in the AFC as the bill

5:02

sit. Even with the loss of the jets

5:04

last week, they still sit number one rank

5:06

in the AFC as far as playoff

5:09

goes, or playoff scenarios go and the fact

5:11

that they beat the Chiefs the

5:13

Ravens and the Titans this year

5:15

would go a long way for time breaking scenarios

5:17

for that number one overall seat at the end of

5:19

the season. How surprised are you by the

5:21

defense? I mean, all the talk is about Atlas

5:23

and the offense and digs and what they can do

5:25

offensively and Davis and what they did in the

5:27

playoff loss to Kansas City. they're given up

5:29

four point six points per game in the second

5:32

half. This is unbelievable. Yeah.

5:34

I'm I'm honestly not very surprised at all.

5:36

This is defense last year that was

5:38

number one statistically in the NFL heading

5:40

into the postseason and they got torched

5:43

in Kansas City in the final game of the year and that's

5:45

kind of the lasting memory of that twenty twenty

5:47

one season, but this is a defense that

5:49

played at a very high level last year and then

5:51

you go out in the off season this year and you

5:53

add a bond miller. You

5:55

add a Daquan Jones in the middle

5:57

at Jordan Phillips at Tim Settle. You

5:59

added some key

5:59

pieces. You drafted a first round.

6:03

corner in Kyerium. So this

6:05

defense added some pieces to what

6:07

was the number one defense in the league

6:09

last year. And so there's not a lot of surprises

6:11

with success of the defense this year.

6:13

Follow the money here on VC, esports

6:15

betting network, Eric Wood, our guests,

6:17

Buffalo Bills, radio analyst, former

6:19

NFL center. And again, you can check out his podcast.

6:21

It's called What's Next with Eric Wood,

6:23

and his

6:24

new book is called tackle What's

6:26

Next. So on that side of the

6:28

ball with the defense, I'm looking at the injury

6:30

report right now. Russo, Edmund's Poirier,

6:32

all questionable. You think they all give

6:34

it a go on Sunday. I

6:37

don't think Greg Russo will be

6:39

back. He got a high ankle spring last week.

6:41

He could if it was very, very minor,

6:43

but I wouldn't expect

6:45

to see Greg Russo back. Jordan

6:48

Porter, again, we're not sure the

6:50

exact extent of that elbow

6:52

injury. And then Tramane Evans

6:54

in practice yesterday, I've mentioned how cautious

6:56

these bills have been with injuries,

6:58

especially in the regular season. And

7:00

so

7:01

It's it's really tough to say on those

7:03

guys. Okay. Fair enough. With

7:05

your background in nine years

7:07

in the league,

7:08

pro bowl or center. What if I called

7:10

you Tuesday and said I want you to take over

7:12

and coach the team? Well,

7:14

I would take a very similar

7:17

approach to what Jeff Saturday did and

7:19

say, look, there's guys in

7:21

this building with a lot more coaching experience

7:23

to me. than me, I'm going to defer

7:25

to a lot of their decisions. But

7:27

just Saturday is one heck of a leader. He's one

7:29

heck of a man for a guy that could stabilize

7:31

the organization. as they either

7:33

maybe have found their long term

7:36

future of head coaching Jeff Saturday or

7:38

kind of stabilize this team the

7:40

city and everything else for

7:43

this remainder of the season, then Jeff Saturday

7:45

will be a great representative. Of

7:47

course, it's shocking to put

7:49

guy with just high school coaching experience

7:52

in that seat. And so,

7:54

and there's a lot of guys in the building. I'm sure

7:56

in Indianapolis that have been cutting their teeth in

7:58

the league for about thirty years that may

8:01

be a little offended by it. But in

8:03

this same age of NFL and when

8:05

you got, you know, John Lynch being promoted

8:07

quick to a GM. You see the success.

8:09

That's he he's heading San Francisco and

8:11

Mike Braebel former player raises

8:14

the ranks very quickly, has done a

8:16

phenomenal job down in Tennessee. You're

8:18

seeing more and more former players

8:20

kind of rising the ranks a lot quicker

8:22

than expected.

8:23

What grade would you give Skyline Chile?

8:27

a

8:27

plus. I love it. Oh, since Patty,

8:30

born and raised. And since

8:33

Skyline is a staple for me, I've I've

8:35

got my kids liking it now.

8:37

three special. In

8:38

a plus. Wow. Okay. So that mean,

8:40

do you have it to, like, deliver to the house? because I know

8:42

that they offer that.

8:45

I don't. So I I live in

8:47

Louisville, Kentucky, and we have we

8:49

have with Skyline down here. Oh, you

8:51

do? We're pretty open.

8:52

Okay. How often are we talking

8:55

about this now with you and the family once a week,

8:57

once a month? I'd

8:59

say closer to once a month, you know,

9:01

Skyline doesn't fit if I was

9:03

still playing in the NFL and still

9:05

trying to be three hundred and ten pounds, I think it

9:07

was in my weekly eating

9:09

regimen doesn't doesn't fit as much

9:11

anymore. Well, did you see that sound

9:13

bite that this week, Whitworth was

9:15

on the Levittard show? And he

9:17

talked about, like, back in his plane

9:19

days, whatever. When he was younger, he could whack down

9:21

eight double stacks at Wendy's. What

9:23

like, what's your proudest moment you know,

9:25

going to a fast food place or sitting down and eating

9:28

that would blow people away. One

9:30

time we went to an all

9:32

inclusive or in all can eat sushi place, and

9:34

I ate a hundred pieces of sushi. I'm

9:37

talking about that eating feed. And if you

9:39

ever wanna go back, there's some

9:41

articles written about it. we

9:43

we would do this deal in Buffalo and we would

9:45

host Thanksgiving at our house every year

9:47

and everybody's families and guys and the team

9:49

were invited And the only

9:51

stipulation was when you walked in the house, you had

9:53

to weigh in. And when you walked

9:55

out, you weighed out and we you you gain

9:57

the most I believe was around like nine

9:59

point six pounds gained in a day.

10:01

So I could I could

10:03

throw I could throw the food back

10:05

back

10:05

in the day. That's impressive. That's impressive.

10:08

Oh. If if back in the day, then if you

10:10

really wanted to try eating some,

10:12

like, tasty Chicken wings and

10:14

buffalo wings, whatever. How many could you whack down at

10:16

one

10:16

setting? I mean,

10:18

it would make you sick, but

10:20

probably fifty or so. Yeah.

10:22

Sure. Yeah. No. I

10:23

buy it. Absolutely. A hundred piece of sushi.

10:25

Well, that's impressive. Wow. Okay.

10:28

You can, again, check out the podcast what's

10:30

next with Eric Wood. His new book is

10:32

called tackle what's next. Great talking

10:34

to you today, Eric. Thanks so much for the time we

10:37

appreciate that. Yeah. Likewise. My

10:39

pleasure. Alright. Be good. A legend. That's

10:41

great. The way in and the way out. Nine

10:43

pounds and nine to one day. six. Here's to do

10:45

that in baseball. When it's a hundred and ten,

10:47

the catcher. much weight did you lose? Did you lose it?

10:49

Yes. Get after it on Thanksgiving. There you go.

10:51

He said something interesting too about

10:53

the Indy thing. And it Maybe

10:55

it's like, I don't wanna help this guy out.

10:57

I got passed over. I don't like

10:59

this. I mean, you wanna be a professional,

11:01

but it's still like we're human beings. Yeah.

11:03

There could be some of that going on. But also Call

11:05

us see or pissed off that that Erce went the

11:08

Saturday route. I mean, he has no experience.

11:10

Nobody again on the staff had

11:12

play calling experience, you're

11:14

thrown into the fire on a Tuesday,

11:16

the week of a game, and

11:18

now

11:18

you're just scrambling the entire

11:21

time I I mean, at what point

11:23

do they actually get their feet on the ground? Yeah. When

11:25

they land here in Las Vegas, other than that, it's

11:27

gonna be just a complete

11:29

Blitz

11:29

Creek against these people the entire week, can

11:31

you imagine if you're running a ball you can

11:33

eat? And do you

11:34

see the Buffalo Bills offense of alignment

11:36

coming in? Odd. The guy puts down a

11:38

hundred pieces of sushi. No. You run to the dorms.

11:40

They were closed. It was closed. Can you imagine the

11:42

damage? You gotta check it in a

11:44

three and here I go. I said earlier I could whack

11:46

down four or five rolls. No problem.

11:48

No

11:48

problem like that lemon sushi we talked about.

11:51

Oh. But what's four or five rolls

11:53

is That's

11:54

like thirty pieces.

11:55

A

11:56

hundred?

11:57

Yeah. Imagine

11:59

what

11:59

they could do,

11:59

alcohol wise too. But I

12:02

can also Shallow.

12:02

Yeah. Yeah. Could you do fifty wings?

12:05

Oh, no.

12:05

Wait.

12:06

I think I could

12:07

do twenty five wings. I wasn't a wing guy when I was

12:10

a slob big fellow, but that

12:12

was Yeah. I never no.

12:14

Wings have gotten much better, I think, over the

12:16

years. Yeah. I was never that big of a wing guy when I

12:18

was growing up, but there are some really

12:20

good recipes out there now.

12:22

I bet he could eat two hundred nuggets

12:25

when he played probably.

12:26

Oh, fifty wings. Yeah. I need two

12:28

hundred nuggets. Alright. Up next,

12:30

we talk about these football contests a

15:17

lot throughout the entire year. I find them

15:19

fascinating on a yearly basis.

15:20

There is one con and and then, like,

15:22

like, how do you capitalize if you

15:24

make a deep run by hedging and

15:27

making money off of it. I know that

15:29

Randy McKay, who's a professional sports betting, has

15:31

been on this network many times. tweeted

15:33

something like that out earlier this week where it's like you base you

15:35

have to make money. You have to find a

15:37

way to make money when you make deep runs in

15:39

these in these contest. You have to. What

15:42

was crush him sports

15:43

biggest regret? He didn't hedge Did not hedge Just

15:46

bringing a thousand dollars worth of equity.

15:48

Yep. So there

15:48

is another contest out here in town

15:51

called The Last Man

15:53

Standing. And the way it works

15:55

is you can get between one and five

15:57

entries before the season starts. They do

15:59

it in college and they do it

15:59

in the NFL. It's twenty five bucks a

16:02

pop. And if you

16:03

buy four, you get your fifth one free.

16:05

And every single year now, it

16:07

gets thousands upon thousands

16:09

of locals who are in this. No proxies

16:11

are allowed. So That's

16:13

kind of the sticking point there for people that

16:15

come into town. You gotta be able to put in the picks on

16:17

your own, but the college contest is

16:19

worth a hundred thousand dollars.

16:21

And I know somebody, he reached out to me this

16:24

week, who has one of the final

16:26

eight entries in this contest.

16:28

And he told me that it's STILL,

16:30

TO THIS POINT, EVERY WEEK, IT'S GETTING CHOPED

16:32

BETWEEN forty and sixty percent. Mhmm. AND

16:34

HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS. THERE'S GOOD NEWS AND BAD news. THE GOOD

16:36

NEWS IS We know

16:38

the contest. When someone when someone says it,

16:40

what do you want first? I'm

16:42

sorry, what? I have good news and bad news.

16:44

Oh, you all you want. We always want the bad news

16:46

first. Yeah. You you

16:47

want the bad news first? The

16:49

bad news is you don't know the

16:51

other entries games.

16:54

They

16:54

they don't post them. Yep. and

16:56

you can go up until kickoff kickoff

16:58

of the gate of that game. Right? So if when

17:00

you think about it like that, you can have

17:02

a bet on

17:03

the nine AM game Well,

17:05

if Hawaii is on the board and they're playing at nine

17:07

o'clock PM, then somebody can wait

17:09

until eight fifty five in theory to put their bed in

17:11

and you wouldn't know about it. So

17:14

and

17:14

every point spread comes with a hook, so

17:16

there are no pushes. So it's it's like

17:18

a survivor, but you have to advance on

17:20

the point spread. Right? And so

17:22

if you have all five entries at the beginning of

17:24

the season, you can use all five on one team or you

17:26

can go five different

17:28

games however you would like. Right?

17:30

So doubt that the bad news is you don't

17:32

know, again, who the other people are on,

17:34

the good news is you know at this

17:37

point there are three weeks left. That's

17:40

There's no championship weeks. Right?

17:42

Yep. There are no ball games.

17:44

So that's going to end. You know exactly

17:46

when it's gonna end. Bingo. You have

17:48

no baseline. Like for survivor, what if a

17:50

hundred people get chopped this week?

17:52

Well, the twenty year people that are what is

17:54

fifteen people would be left? they

17:56

could go they could run the season out. So you

17:58

could be hedging every single week and giving money away.

18:00

But this point now of the season, it's it

18:02

pays a hundred thousand dollars again to

18:05

the winner And based on between about forty and sixty percent

18:07

of the people getting chopped every week, that's gonna

18:09

continue. Like, there will not be eight winners of this

18:11

contest to split twelve thousand, you know, five

18:13

hundred dollars a piece. That will not

18:15

happen. Like, it'll probably go from eight this week to four

18:17

or five next week, down to, like, two

18:19

or three, and then do we have a champion the final week?

18:21

You never know. So then it could be seven, it

18:23

could be two. Yeah.

18:25

So how do you approach this then in terms of

18:28

hedging? What do you wanna do this week? On a

18:30

discussion. Mhmm. I don't

18:32

think you can go to nuts

18:34

It is so it's just

18:36

that

18:36

you don't know

18:37

what anyone else has. Yeah. Killer. It's

18:39

it's a killer. It is.

18:44

I don't know that this

18:46

is a tough question. So I love the fact

18:48

that he canceled a vacation

18:51

because

18:51

this he had a vacation schedule. And the

18:53

wife totally understood. Right. Right. Yep. Like

18:55

a hundred thousand dollars on the line here. I gotta gotta push

18:57

it back. Now from what I understand, they they didn't have,

18:59

like, flights booked and they weren't gonna go a

19:01

country, but they, you know, had, like, a drivable vacation

19:04

plan to, like, no, no, we can't do this now.

19:06

I and you don't forget

19:07

about this. You had to factor in taxes.

19:10

So

19:11

taxes

19:12

will be around,

19:14

you know, thirty thousand dollars.

19:16

If you were the only winner and you won

19:18

a hundred thousand, it'd be around thirty thousand

19:20

the taxes. So I

19:23

don't think you can start this week

19:25

by hedging five thousand. I

19:27

think

19:27

that's too much. Because

19:29

if you advance in last man and you lose the five

19:31

thousand, then you gotta come back with ten thousand

19:33

next week. And then if

19:35

you lose that one, gotta

19:37

do a twenty the following week, then you're in thirty five thousand.

19:39

And what happens if

19:40

you split then you yeah.

19:42

With more

19:42

than one entry, then you're like, okay.

19:44

That didn't make any sense. You could

19:46

play a stale number. You could do that

19:48

too and do both. I know you did that to your

19:50

new one.

19:51

Yeah. What's

19:53

the appropriate amount? I know that's tough. I mean, it's only twenty

19:55

five dollars to get in. That's right. But it's also

19:57

like this guy who just cashed

19:59

that ticket for a hundred

20:00

and twenty five thousand. He had the Astros over the

20:03

Philly's in the world series. Twenty

20:05

five hundred and one, he goes, I'm not head gents, a fifty

20:07

dollar betamide, but to me, you get your head too.

20:10

need anyone the

20:10

money, but this is

20:12

God is a tough

20:14

one. Well, it's also like the the guy

20:16

who had that huge parley and player props

20:19

That

20:19

was a very small bet, but it paid more than six

20:21

figures and he was able to get down what was at thirty

20:23

four thousand dollars on a player prop to hedge on

20:25

mixing with the Russian yards and

20:27

thank God he did. Yeah. Five. You're right. Five's

20:29

too much. because

20:30

five's too much. Seven guys could whack up the money.

20:33

Yeah. I mean, even even if it's not the people.

20:35

Right? Yeah. I and I keep asking.

20:37

Right. Yes. I I don't think five thousand to

20:39

play there. Right? And then what if you lose if you

20:41

lose your hedge and you lose your hedge and

20:43

you make it to the end and then I oh, yep. Right.

20:45

But no one else gets cut.

20:47

But

20:47

that's a tough discussion. I I think I

20:49

think bay the most logical

20:52

approach would be to basically cut that number

20:54

in half. at

20:56

this

20:56

point. And if you

20:58

put twenty five hundred on the game

21:00

this week

21:01

and and, you

21:02

know, you you ball out of the tournament, but you win that

21:04

bet, okay, then happy with a twenty five hundred

21:06

dollar bet that you want. I agree with McKay and Randy's

21:08

right. I mean, the the the the

21:10

feeling you would have, if you walk

21:12

out of this and you go down, I mean,

21:14

You can't nothing to go for this point. Yeah. I

21:16

know it's only twenty five to get in, but

21:18

you'd be sick. You know, that's the other thing

21:21

too about what what if you play a

21:23

You ever see a line in a sports book? Right

21:25

before,

21:25

kickoff on a Saturday or Sunday?

21:27

You wanna put a game in? I mean, you

21:29

get what

21:30

that is too. You don't wanna get shut out. Well, and that's

21:32

a thing. Like, you have to go to the casino here,

21:34

out here to put your bets in there. There's no

21:36

app. Right. There there's another

21:38

big contest in town where it has to be done

21:40

in person too. Right? Where it? Yeah. And

21:42

so I I made that mistake

21:45

signing up this year for last man. I didn't do it on

21:47

Sunday morning of week one. I don't think

21:50

that was right. Right.

21:52

Oh my god. Good contact. also do

21:54

it from March Madness. This is all due

21:56

to you by the way. You were doing

21:58

local radio, you won the damn thing, and

22:00

then they just started doing it for

22:02

everything, even horse racing. But imagine they do

22:04

this for March Madness. I mean, you gotta

22:06

get up four days in a

22:08

row -- Yeah. -- and put picks and what you're

22:10

gonna do. Now imagine what the lines look like

22:12

there. Oh, my God. March Madness

22:14

games,

22:14

kick off. Tip off rather.

22:17

Yeah. The other thing too, I want the good

22:19

news first. then I

22:20

can brace myself for the badness. Oh, really?

22:22

No. I won't I won't get that. ripped right off. Well then

22:24

if you hit me with the bad, it was it was really bad.

22:26

That's like I'm a No. You're demoralized. You don't even

22:28

hear to pay attention to the good news. You can't

22:30

overcome the bad news. Oh, you can't just say it

22:32

hard to do that. Yeah. But what are people

22:34

really bad news? what if people overhyped the

22:37

bad news and it's really nothing at all? And like, oh,

22:39

my god. I can I can handle on that stuff. I don't

22:41

think we got the good news. Sure. You know,

22:43

who's to say your bad news is that bad? Sure.

22:45

Right. Maybe I saw it a different way, at a different read

22:47

and feel. Sure. Maybe it's not an

22:49

apartment complex was set on fire and you don't know what the hell

22:51

happened. Maybe it's a i of a flat tire. Okay.

22:53

Well, that's nothing new. call triple a. You don't know

22:55

how to fix a flat tire? Well, then there he

22:57

goes.

22:57

that Whatever.

22:58

I mean, if you if

22:59

you tell somebody I got I

23:02

mean,

23:03

devastating bad news, it's like, okay. Well,

23:05

then well, okay. Then you're

23:07

bracing yourself a little bit

23:09

then. The

23:09

expectations are a little Everyone has a different

23:12

definition or of level of what -- Yeah. -- bad

23:14

news. Right? Yep. Can I give you this

23:16

prop that's up -- Yeah. -- offshore

23:18

bay free agency started yesterday

23:20

there, some huge names in

23:22

baseball. Looks like Turner's going to the Philly's.

23:24

Uh-huh. Berelander out.

23:25

Kirshot back to the Dodgers. The Grom

23:27

gonna be on the move. What

23:29

was this report to Guam, maybe interested in the Rangers?

23:31

He reached out, I think. Okay. He reached out

23:33

to Texas. So here's the bet on

23:36

Aaron Judge. if he doesn't go back to

23:38

the yankees, the giants are the shortest shot on

23:40

the board at two to one. Makes sense. Yeah. And we've

23:42

had people say that they will not

23:44

be outbid. So

23:45

if the yankee is off let's say the yankee is

23:47

off for four hundred fifty million dollars, the

23:49

giants might offer five hundred and judges gonna say I can't do

23:51

it. I can't leave New York. How about the prop on that?

23:53

Three seventy five.

23:55

The contract, three seventy

23:57

way over. Oh, way over. Way over.

23:59

Way over. Mhmm. think he's gonna get fifty million

24:01

a year? You could see I could see four

24:04

fifty, five hundred if someone if it's if it's if it's

24:06

Ten ten if you have the giants and Dodgers involved

24:08

in the met, Colin's gotta do something.

24:10

I mean, if Colin loses Cohen's got

24:12

to have a bad taste in his mouth. He won

24:14

a hundred and one games and then got knocked

24:17

out early. I mean, could Colin could go

24:19

Virland or Colin could try, how great would

24:21

that be? He stays in New York, but it's a

24:23

met. Yeah?

24:24

Yeah. The met's

24:25

our six to one to get judged by the way.

24:27

Dodgers

24:28

three to one. What's the it goes what

24:30

are the it goes giant's two to one,

24:32

Dodgers three to one max six.

24:34

Okay. CARDINALs are eight.

24:36

Then the Braves, Rangers, red

24:38

Sox are all twelve to one to get

24:41

them. The Cubs are

24:43

sixteen to

24:44

one. I would

24:46

like to see him leave the yankees.

24:48

I

24:48

because I like I love huge

24:51

job season moves. Yep.

24:53

Always have. Yep. You know, it's

24:55

also

24:55

the other from the Steinbrenner's standpoint about

24:57

saying, listen, we spent all this money where's it got

24:59

us, which I know it's an

25:01

indictment a cash maneuver. Oh, yeah. Let's go back

26:22

totals again, mister Total. Chuck

26:24

Gettle. Last week, you Ohio State Under. It's a rocking

26:27

chair. Twenty one seven final. What do

26:29

you wanna do with Ohio State

26:31

this week?

26:32

Yeah. You know, I thought the line this week was a

26:35

little cheap considering, you know, I think maybe they

26:37

put a little too much into that game. You know, as

26:39

you know, we did go on there. There is you know,

26:41

rained fifty mile prior wins

26:43

and that kind of made things, you know, made

26:45

things a little difficult for it. Nobody was gonna score on

26:47

that game. So one points. So take away

26:49

those twenty one points that they scored in that

26:51

last week because of the weather situation.

26:54

Ohio State in the big ten this year

26:56

has averaged forty-nine point six

26:58

points a game. And that's in

27:00

the big ten. And guys, that's against some

27:02

good defenses. They put up fifty

27:04

five versus Scottson, fifty

27:06

four versus Iowa, forty

27:08

four versus Penn State. They're

27:10

averaging an unbelievable seven

27:12

point four yards per play

27:14

now they're gonna play defense Indiana.

27:17

Defense has given up thirty two point two

27:19

points a game. They play super

27:21

fast too Indiana seventy five Point

27:23

two plays a game. How about this?

27:25

They're dead last in the entire NC

27:27

two eight in time of possession. They only

27:29

have the ball averaging having the ball

27:31

for twenty four minutes and nineteen seconds.

27:33

So does that tell you, there's gonna be a lot of

27:35

possessions for a high state in this game, and

27:37

we know they're gonna be doing

27:39

some scoring. And so, you

27:41

know, I I expect the Ohio State to

27:43

get a big chunkier in Indiana. It does get the

27:45

return of the quarterback on our basic vacuum

27:47

this last week. versus Penn

27:49

State. If Indiana and this game could

27:51

get half their average, they average twenty-three

27:53

point three points a game offensively.

27:56

If they could get half that, I think I'll be

27:58

in good shape here. I do like the

27:59

scheme to go over the total. I think Ohio

28:02

State puts up the big number. Now there is a little

28:04

light rain the game. Mhmm. No window. It should be

28:06

okay. Don't get nervous about the rain as

28:08

long as there's no wind going, you know, along

28:10

with it. And that's just light rain as

28:12

well. So I do like this game to go over the

28:14

total. It looks like fifty eight fifty eight and a

28:16

half around town. Okay. You were also on

28:18

a total in the La Tech

28:20

game last week, it cashed

28:22

this week. They get Texas and Antonio.

28:24

This one's in the upper sixties. I'm

28:26

looking at sixty seven available right

28:28

now at certain books. Are you gonna ride this here

28:30

with Li Tech and go over? I

28:32

I am,

28:33

Mitch. I I'm gonna come back with you

28:35

over in this game. You know,

28:37

Parker McNeil, we talked about it last

28:39

week. Q was back for that game against middle Tennessee.

28:41

They put up forty in that game. Louisiana

28:44

Tech averages thirty two point six

28:47

points a game, but they've scored

28:49

over forty points in three of their last

28:51

five games. And as we talked

28:53

about as well about their their problem is

28:55

their defense. They're headquartered in

28:57

the country, giving up thirty-seven point

28:59

nine points a game. They give up six point

29:01

two nine yards per play

29:03

how about the teams are averaging when

29:06

they were on the ball five point eight yards

29:08

rush curtary against that middle

29:10

against that the Louisiana Tech

29:13

defense. So Texas San Antonio should have some fun

29:15

here on offense because they have a good

29:17

offense. They average thirty six point

29:19

six points of games, six point two

29:21

seven yards per play. Their

29:23

four hundred and ninety two yards a game are good enough for

29:25

twelfth in the country, and they also

29:27

play fast. Seventy eight point two plays

29:30

a game So there's gonna be a lot of possessions

29:32

in this game last week against a pretty

29:34

good UAB defense, especially for

29:36

that conference. And over

29:38

time, they put up four ninety

29:40

four yards you know, the

29:42

Texas San Antonio, their struggles also

29:44

are on defense. They're giving up over thirty

29:46

points a game over six yards

29:49

per play. they gave up five fifty three yards last

29:51

week to maybe an

29:53

average UAB offense. And

29:55

their weakness also is against

29:57

pass. So I think Louisiana Tech should be

29:59

able to take advantage of that. There will be a

30:02

lot of possessions in this game as well as

30:04

something you look at you're looking at overs, you want to,

30:06

you know, you have a lot of possessions. There's gonna

30:08

be a lot of possessions in this game as well.

30:10

And I I'm gonna go one more time with

30:12

that over in Louisiana Tech.

30:14

Alright. Another total. And this time in

30:16

under, and Kentucky's been very good to the

30:18

under this year on the season.

30:20

They're taken on Vandy, and it's forty seven

30:22

and a half.

30:23

Yes, this Vanderbilt team average

30:25

is fourteen point four yards

30:28

of points in the SEC. But on

30:30

the road, they're averaging five point six points game. They

30:33

struggled against good defenses, and Kentucky does

30:35

have a good defense. The Vanderbilt team

30:37

put up fourteen versus Missouri

30:40

They got shut out by Georgia. They scored

30:43

three points against Alabama. You

30:45

know, if you look at their defensive stats

30:47

for Vanderbilt, it is a little scary because

30:49

they're given up over thirty six points a game. But they've

30:51

gone up against some monsters on offense.

30:54

Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Wake

30:56

Forest, that's about half their

30:58

games. Kentucky's been struggling on

31:00

offense. Their quarterback will leave I. He's

31:02

been banged up and he said he, you know, he

31:04

said in the press conference that he's at

31:06

about seventy percent at best The

31:09

offensive line has not helped them. They played

31:11

bad. Leave the loud thirty

31:13

five secs this season. That is

31:15

number one in the SEC. they have

31:17

trouble running the ball. They're averaging two

31:19

point nine yards per

31:21

carry. And, you know, the Kentucky game plan

31:23

always is to established that run,

31:25

led the defense wins the games. They ran the

31:27

ball three thirty three

31:29

times. They've attempted two thirty nine

31:31

passes and they're Their

31:33

defensive is solid, nineteen point

31:35

six points of game. They held

31:37

Florida a good offensive team to sixteen

31:39

points Mississippi to twenty two. Mississippi

31:41

State to seventeen last game,

31:43

they held

31:43

Missouri to two thirty two yards. So

31:45

I think Bandy has trouble scoring here and I

31:48

don't see Kentucky lighting up the

31:50

board for a a big number here. So I do

31:52

like this game to go under the forty seven

31:54

and a half. Very very good. So under that

31:56

game, over Texas San

31:58

Antonio LawTech, and over in the

31:59

Ohio State game. Chuck, we were talking

32:02

about we had some sad news yesterday. Fred

32:04

Hickman passed away at the age of sixty

32:06

six, and Pauline were talking about when we were younger,

32:08

man, watching Fred along with Nick Charles.

32:10

Both guys passed away way too young. What a great

32:12

show that was on

32:14

CNN and then, like, the old school days of Patrick and Oldurban,

32:16

and the bottom line on ESPN, the

32:18

ten minute ticker on NBC on

32:21

NFL Sundays, You're

32:22

an old school guy. You've been doing this for a

32:24

long, long time, like, score phone

32:27

and trying to track down scores back in the day.

32:29

Can you recall, like, what you had to do

32:31

to try to find scores maybe in the

32:33

eighties or the nineties or what the

32:35

biggest phone bill that you ever had was because

32:37

you were calling to get updates all the time?

32:40

I

32:40

got story about that, Mitch. So I

32:42

worked I was the assistant beverage manager,

32:45

Chicago Hilton in Towers, and I worked the evening.

32:47

So I had all my action going

32:50

Well, I I had I had the you know, I'm a

32:52

phone in the desk, and I called up that 9761313

32:56

number. That's you know,

32:58

that's how I was getting the scores. You would have to

33:00

call up and they would give you this you know, you have to

33:02

listen to a few advertisements maybe and

33:04

then and then they give all the scores,

33:06

you know, this is the scar phone and all

33:08

that. So one day, it's probably

33:10

maybe it's close to midnight, and

33:12

I'm in the office. Again, you know, again,

33:15

ready to you know, do

33:17

some paperwork. And here comes

33:19

the food and beverage manager who in the,

33:21

you know, the hotel business at a big

33:23

deal. There he comes in with a sheet of

33:25

paper. He oh he unfolds the paper.

33:27

It almost goes down to the floor. Mhmm.

33:29

And he had, you know, and he

33:31

goes, what is this? whatever

33:33

all

33:33

these phone calls, I had

33:35

no idea that they were, you

33:37

know, keep it, you know, I just figured it was

33:40

all, like, you know, I didn't think it was gonna be an itemized phone

33:42

bill. So, yeah, that was a

33:44

big phone bill and that, you know, nothing really

33:46

happened, but you know, you gave me a little

33:48

skier there. I got busted for making so

33:50

many phone calls to sports phone.

33:54

Summers. How times have

33:56

changed? Yep. It took it was we had to go through

33:58

so much just to get a damn score in

34:01

a game. You're, you know,

34:03

you're talking about that ten minute ticker, and I

34:05

think I got up everybody waited, you know, and

34:07

half the time, it did an update. In the last ten minutes,

34:09

you get up and stop. Yeah.

34:11

No. Yeah. It's the same score, you know. It's

34:13

kinda like the election. You know? Every time you

34:15

look, there'll be seventy seven percent of the

34:17

votes in a left. like,

34:19

two days ago. Right. Right. That's right. That's

34:22

right. Yeah. Well, thanks,

34:24

John. Crush it again this

34:26

week, man. Alright.

34:26

Thanks, guys. Have a great weekend. It's good. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. At least

34:28

he's got it's got

34:30

a better he can

34:31

explain it easy. calling

34:34

scores. Yeah. Maybe just upon sheet So this is another

34:36

phone number -- Yeah. -- back in the day.

34:38

By the way, how happy are

34:40

you that the election is over?

34:42

Oh,

34:43

they were text to nonstop. I went text. I through my phone the other day to find

34:45

out how many accounts I blocked. It was at

34:47

least fifty. Oh, really? blocking

34:50

them. I didn't even start blocking them until probably,

34:52

like, middle of October. Tule was upset

34:54

with the with the male.

34:56

Both.

34:57

It was every day. It was just mail yeah. A mail coming in. And and

34:59

just a side note on that, by the way, the ads that were running, they

35:01

would go back to

35:01

back to

35:04

back Can we be

35:06

like a little more careful moving

35:08

forward with the ads? Did you pay

35:10

attention to some of them that were on TV?

35:12

With with the negativity -- Oh my god. -- outlandish comments, not anything

35:15

goes. It's ridiculous. On honest to god, there

35:17

was an ad out here in Las Vegas and

35:19

Nevada plane. It was basically this.

35:22

It was If you vote for I'll make up

35:24

a name. If you vote for Susie

35:26

Johnson, you're voting

35:28

for death. And

35:30

it's like basically they said, you will if you

35:32

agree to vote for her, you're

35:35

agreeing to have your kids die in

35:37

a car fire. I mean, we

35:39

say, unbelievable huff or over the top

35:41

they were. Like, how do they get away with

35:43

this message on

35:45

TV? Yeah. They

35:47

were using words like that, and

35:49

I'm just, like, stunned. Mark did

35:51

not stop. They just keep coming at

35:53

you. Text in you? Mail?

35:54

Every other ad, I forgot to get the mail one day last week.

35:56

I went to get it, like, on Wednesday. If we're

35:59

not getting Tuesday, I'm not

35:59

joking, it was this thick. Yeah. And it was

36:02

nothing but

36:04

He knows

37:59

the core Mac was on the cold. If his girlfriend was

38:01

not hot, these games are a burial.

38:03

A blowout a

38:06

human lock. you can bet your children's children's

38:08

children on these things. That

38:10

was so good. Whatever I bet, I

38:12

could change the for

38:15

every bookmaker in the

38:15

country. Alright. It should have been

38:17

a a big time win

38:19

and big time night betting

38:21

with that Thursday night

38:24

game. under pre flop. No under first

38:26

quarter. No score first five and a half,

38:28

six and a half minutes, but then

38:31

it got ugly. It got ugly in

38:33

and props that lost, Patterson did not go

38:36

over. Five carats. That's

38:38

it. Longest

38:40

touch down under. I cannot believe that play worked. They forty one

38:42

yards to touch down to Chanel to start

38:44

friendly fire to Falcon's each

38:48

other out. I don't know what the first guy's

38:50

doing on the first block. Yeah. He's like gave

38:52

up. He runs right by him as he can

38:54

feel free to tackle. And under four and a

38:56

half sex, they sacked Mario to five times.

38:58

It was sitting on four there late

39:00

in the game, and then they got him

39:02

a pressure on my entire game. Let's go

39:05

with the new stuff. Added that that I recommend this.

39:07

This is fun. Healed to break

39:09

the receiving yard's record. one

39:12

seventy five. He has the

39:14

most yards receiving through nine games in

39:16

the Super Bowl era. He's averaging a

39:18

hundred and twenty two yards per

39:21

game.

39:21

And I think he's gonna eat

39:23

every week, and then it'll

39:26

continue again Sunday, against the

39:28

Browns. The Germany

39:29

game under got

39:31

a good number forty six and a half. Very

39:34

excited for this game to start

39:36

start the day at six thirty Pacific.

39:38

Also, what

39:40

Wisconsin? lane one against Iowa, and then later on

39:42

with the next week now.

39:44

But, betterly, again, look at

39:47

line. Utah lane four against Oregon. And last

39:50

check, that was up to six in a big game in a

39:52

packed twelve. There you go. Here's what else you have

39:54

going for the Kyrie kill to break the

39:56

record crop. they're gonna need

39:58

all of these games or as many as possible --

39:59

Yep. -- if they're gonna make the playoffs for

40:02

potential seating purposes. And as

40:04

we know now with

40:06

Mike McDaniel, I mean, he doesn't doesn't matter really, but they were up big in

40:08

that bears game a couple of times, and he just kept

40:10

trying to put the foot on the gas the entire

40:12

time. Yeah. He wasn't trying to, like, milk the

40:14

lead by running Moisture to Wilson that

40:16

often. I think this guy's just gonna they

40:18

could have a three touchdown lead in the third quarter and be

40:20

like, that's true. Let's go to a A lousy

40:23

ball. A lousy defense? I'm not yes? Yep. Okay.

40:25

So in pocket plays that I have

40:27

for today, and this week, I'm gonna bet

40:29

this Gonzaga Michigan stake

40:32

in under get already one hundred and forty five and a half. They hey,

40:34

Lincoln. They're playing it on an aircraft

40:36

carrier. I am old enough to remember when they

40:38

did this times a

40:40

decade ago, I couldn't wait to watch it. I always loved the

40:42

idea. And guess what?

40:44

The sun was a problem for shooters.

40:47

wind would once in a while kick in.

40:49

I think this is the high number in the mid

40:51

one forties. I know Gonzaga likes to punch and they like to get

40:53

up and down his score kinda points. Maybe

40:55

that happens with a bunch of, like, transition buckets

40:57

tonight, but on the aircraft carrier, gonna be the

41:00

under. And I am betting the

41:02

grizzlies again today. They

41:04

are awesome. yet again this

41:06

season in the first quarter.

41:08

And to me, there's a lot to like.

41:10

Now books are

41:12

onto this. And now by that, I mean, yes,

41:14

they're laying a point and a half and they're

41:16

around five for the game. But on

41:18

the money

41:20

line, The great thing about this, the Grizzly's points spread a point five,

41:22

the money line today is minus one forty

41:24

five. The other night, they were laying a

41:26

point five,

41:26

the money line was minus one six

41:29

So I'm not gonna bet the money

41:30

line here. I'm gonna lay the one and a half with

41:33

the grizzlies. Books are definitely they're all aware of

41:35

what the grizzlies are like in this first quarter

41:37

where you go. And so can't

41:39

do that. Also, I do

41:42

really like the bronchos in a teaser leg

41:45

this weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have a

41:47

partner to put it with as of right So I'm going to avoid that and I

41:50

did play I'm trying

41:52

this out I'm

41:54

betting that three team teaser this week

41:56

and I did this yesterday on the show

41:58

with totals a

41:59

ten point

42:02

teaser. three teams, pays minus one twenty. It's on the buccaneer Seawox

42:04

game. It's on the Rams Cardinal's game,

42:06

and it was on the Raiders colts

42:10

game. I got a person reach out to me last night said, I

42:12

tip you're not supposed to bet totals. Right?

42:14

The tease totals. He said, I've been teasing totals

42:16

the entire year in the league.

42:19

or after the first the slow start, and he said

42:21

it's been great so far. Taking this giant

42:23

game under, forty one,

42:26

leading giant side, as well.

42:28

Definitely when Mike Paul might just move,

42:30

but the Raider game under Cults eight

42:32

one of the under. And

42:34

point. What do I I don't see what I don't care who plays quarterback. Where are the points

42:37

coming from in the Rams game? A forty one

42:39

in the Rams Arizona game?

42:42

Yo. There's another one. Right? Yep. In park to present it by your

here. During March

43:14

Madness, I used to ask to use

43:16

the bathroom in high school and run to the pay

43:18

phone and call sports line. 976

43:20

thirteen thirteen to get the updates. It

43:22

would cost a quarter. I'd used I

43:24

talked to different teacher so I could make five calls

43:26

a day. I'm sweating games at fifteen years old.

43:29

I can still hear the guy's voice on

43:31

the recording. Keith Crommer

43:32

is one of the names I remember. Keith Crommer,

43:35

there you go. can remember in

43:37

high school

43:38

every single year

43:40

skipping school

43:40

on not the first not only the

43:43

first two days of March Madness, Champion

43:45

two. Oh, you got the s? It was so

43:47

cool. I was so proud of my mom when

43:49

she called me out sick. I could

43:50

watch the first couple days of madness in high

43:52

school. Oh, yeah. It was every single year. And also, he's sung it. Yeah. Like our history

43:54

teacher, he was also he was, like, a

43:56

legendary football and basketball coach back there.

43:59

You know, he

43:59

was at school for like thirty five years in one Brazilian games. He's bringing the

44:02

TV. He's bringing the TV because the

44:04

Wisconsin state championships were also the

44:06

same week. and we would actually

44:08

flip over to March Madness to go back and forth with it. And

44:10

so that was pretty much all day long.

44:11

Like,

44:12

no school today. Thank you.

44:13

Thank you. We appreciate this so should be.

44:15

Yeah. Yeah. This is from Jake on Twitter. We talked

44:18

about the hedging possibility. There's a contest

44:20

out here down to eight entries, and

44:22

they know they have three weeks

44:24

left. That's it. and it

44:25

usually chops by between forty and sixty percent

44:27

every single week. The payout's a hundred thousand dollars.

44:29

We talked about hedging. Jake

44:31

says with three weeks left,

44:33

fact that you have to pay taxes on the winnings and the possibility of

44:35

a split, he believes it's too early

44:38

to hedge. Mhmm. If the prize pool was

44:40

higher, I would hedge you. tough one, but too

44:42

early for me. And I told that's fair enough. If

44:44

you don't wanna hedge quite

44:44

yet, you wanna wait another week. Yep. The killer is

44:47

you don't know who other people have.

44:49

Yeah. Yeah. Like, you don't even know

44:50

what if you're in the if you already

44:52

win, you don't know how many people have

44:54

been knocked out, who's left, what do they have in the late

44:56

games? I mean, it's just

44:58

That's what makes it so difficult.

45:00

Yeah. Tough. Yep.

45:02

Damn. Pro tip. Again,

45:04

reached

45:04

out to the

45:05

great Allen Boston. one

45:07

of

45:07

the best ever do it, is a college basketball

45:10

better. Allen, there's

45:12

a much bigger home court advantage in

45:15

non conference games than

45:16

conference match ups. The you're

45:18

familiar with the conference teams. You're familiar

45:20

with yeah. You play there every year, but

45:22

you don't know when these road games

45:25

different gyms going into, usually longer

45:28

travel. And as Alan

45:29

points out, games tend to

45:31

get closer to twenty.

45:33

lean

45:33

towards twenty

45:34

and then pick as

45:36

well in these games too. And you

45:38

have the Bluewater scenario too more in

45:40

play and non conference games. Yep. And a lot

45:43

of and, you know, good point to inmate. Coaches experiment, try stuff

45:45

in non conference games, for sure. Especially

45:47

these these mid majors.

45:49

mean, it's all about conference play in a

45:51

conference tournament. You can try stuff up,

45:53

try zone, try some try all this different stuff

45:55

in non conference There were,

45:58

I believe, sixty four games

46:00

last night in college

46:02

basketball, and most

46:02

of them I think were on the

46:04

board. Today,

46:27

I

46:27

appreciate that. I really do. Ritchie Bachelorette

46:30

who works here at Circuits now. He does that. My

46:32

comparison is if you've never seen a binder like that

46:34

from an old school guy is Kevin

46:36

Spacey

46:38

in seven. When they're going through his apartment

46:39

46:41

46:43

in California. John Doe's got the

46:44

upper hand. Stay out of here.

46:47

What a great job by Brad

46:48

Pitt at the end of that movie. Oh, come on.

46:50

Now you just say he loved to

46:51

get me pissed off. I loved it. So he butchered

46:53

that scene. He butchered it. This

46:55

is from you get as many takes as

46:57

you can and you need. And that's what he

46:59

comes up with. Your wife's heads in a box.

47:09

single again. Oh, what

47:12

47:22

47:26

47:28

Coast games. Unbelievable the things we had to

47:30

47:31

Here's one I'm fifty nine. Been gambling since

47:33

I was

47:36

ten. start

47:36

them young. When I was in high school and college, I used to

47:38

run around like a nut trying to find the old

47:40

AP ticker tape machines. The

47:43

ones that constantly spit out news and occasion would

47:45

shoot out sports scores, I think

47:47

47:56

Is that that's David fincher, I

47:58

believe. Okay.

47:59

That

47:59

sequence. When he's chasing him through the

48:02

street, he shoots at him, and then you don't know what

48:04

you're getting into when they walk in and they

48:06

knock in in his apartment. Oh my god. No. Like the the anxiety

48:08

level, the blood pressure. want you for the first

48:10
