Speaker 1 (00:01):
Remember that in Magic eight ball, a nice little shaken
look at this.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm late tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
You can trust whatever it said, or you could trust
these two guys named Adam. It's a crap shoot either way.
But these are your Stone Cold.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Locks. Stone Cold.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Long time coming. Football season has come back to us,
and so we bring back our signature segment on Fridays
are Stone Cold Locks running tally all season long. Five
picks per person on the program, myself, Ac and Cole
all season long.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
As the season gets concurrent with the NFL, will make
one Texans pick, one college football game of the week pick,
and three other games of your choosing either off the line,
you can use a prop, you can go over under,
whatever the case may be. No Texans this week, so
four wild cards selections along with the college football game
of the week. Our panel of one will choose our
college football game of the week.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's me.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's Texas and Ohio State. We'll save that pick for
the end. I'll need your other four picks please, and
we'll get the ball rolling. You'll see some graphic enhancement
to this segment moving forward. Monday, we'll have the results
for you unless someone's playing TCU North Carolina or in
the future, if someone's chosen Monday Night football will have
(01:27):
partial results for you when we get there, Well, we
get the ball rolling here today with our stone cold locks.
Cole hang onto your Texas Ohio State College Game of
the Week pick, but give us your other four selections.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Let's go out to Boulder, Colorado tonight. I think the
law firm of Haynes and Haynes makes Dion prime time
past his prime as the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets get the
three and a half point victory over the Colorado Buffaloes,
taking GT minus three and a half. Notre Dame Miami
down in South Beach. What are we gonna get from
(02:00):
two new quarterbacks? We're gonna gick from two offensive lines.
What are we gonna get from two defenses? Not a
lot of points. I am hammering the under in this game.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I think this is.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Gonna be a back and forth slugfest. Ultimately, Notre Dame
gets the win, but you're not hitting that over. Toledo
marches in to the likes of Lexington, Kentucky, and for
the first time this season, the SEC goes down to
a G five opponent. Not only am I taking the upset,
I'm taking Toledo plus ten to secure a win over
(02:29):
the Wildcats.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Corny's wife hates you right now and you said this
as much wex.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
You're gonna have to wait until Tuesday to give my
pick because walking to the Bill Belichick era in Chapel
Hill doesn't matter. Bill, You're gonna learn that college football
not the game for you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Does.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm taking TCU minus three and a half Josh Hoover
Sunny Dike's They do not fall short to another coach
who is gonna make a statement afterwards. Up, do you
believe I believe that Bill Belichick is in over his
head in Chapel Hill.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Give me TCU minus. He messed up the line. It
doesn't matter, Brian.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well, that's why he said what he said.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm just Bill delivered it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You give us your four picks and keep this in mind,
because the current number is fifty one and a half.
That's what you will also get.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, with the same game. I saw that because when
I did it earlier, the number was different.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
By the way, even though my picks aren't next, all
three of us must have really liked the same thing.
We've all taken. We will all take the under on
the Sunday night game. It's Ween, Notre Dame in Miami.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Cole doesn't know that, just like you with directions, I
can't read Gambleese.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's so complicated. Shut up, dude. So is inside or
outside of it? Ten?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
That's what makes it simple.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Oh my gosh, So I only pick over unders, Cole,
I do this every single year.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I've done it for like four straight.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You're more than welcome to add some props to the list.
That is one change to the so and cold locks
of this year. It's not mandatory. It's true you play
a prop, but you're more than welcome to.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I took all games this time, and I went with
the U two. I'm gonna just say this. I'll make
this really really simple other than the Texas Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Game, which this will give it away, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I feel like the first game of the season type
rust is going to be a factor in all these scores.
So I took nothing but unders on the other four games,
UTSA at A and M under fifty six and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I don't even know if that's the right number anymore
now because of.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
What happened LSU Clemson, same Va Tech at sc not
that SC which one South Carolina?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And and Notre Dame at Miami just like Cole, I'm
taking the under on that as well.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Well, you'll probably be pretty happy to learn that the
over under on Aggis is fifty nine and a half.
You are already playing the under. Good that should make
you feel even better. My four other games this week
I already mentioned. I'm playing the same and Notre Dame
Miami will take the under on that Sunday night. I'm
also playing the utsc UTSA Texas A and M game
(05:02):
tomorrow night. But I like the Aggies to cover that
number so much returning and I do think they have firepower.
I do think Marcel Reid in a game like this
will shine. I think the running game will shine, and
I think they will handle this game very much like
the Cougars handled their twenty three and a half number
last night in a cover over SFA. I like Oregon
to do the same cover against Montana State at home
(05:24):
at Oregon and the game that's going tonight we just
talked about with Sheehan. I will take Baylor to cover
that number as well, leaving Texas and Ohio State the
numbers we're working with on this one. Texas is a
one and a half point favorite the over under his
forty six and a half. AC has already noted he
will be playing the over with Archie Manning's offense and
(05:47):
Julians Sayan's offense. Maybe some defensive points with these two
fairly inexperienced quarterbacks to push over the number. Cole, what's
your play on this game?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I think that Texas's defense is the selling point. Ultimately,
I do believe that I'll high it's a good team.
I think they are going to be back in the
College Football Playoff and for Texas, same thing. It doesn't
matter who wins this game. You just gotta be able
to show life and attention. And ultimately, I do believe
that arch Banning will show a little bit more late
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I'm actually agreeing with you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I think there is gonna be one pick six come
from Julian saying I'll go Jalen Gilbo gets the nod
Texas minus one and a half, they secure the win.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
In the year before I'll give you my pick, then
I'll ask you a question. It's just it's really simple. Hey,
wex so you think's gonna win the game? And I
think Texas is gonna win. All the numbers one and
a half easy, I'll take Texas. I think they're gonna
win the game. If they win by one, I'll lose.
If they win by anything other than one.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'll win.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It's very very simple.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Are you shocked at how low the over under is,
which is why I took the over even in light
of what I think will happen.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Defense is dominating.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Maybe do you have two things working at to where,
in my opinion, where this number sits so even for
two really really good teams. The defenses we know the
Texas defense is great. I think tech the Ohio State
defense will also be great. Both of them get to
play against any experienced quarterbacks, and it's the first game
of the year and it's eleven o'clock in the morning.
I think, if you care, I do think that's a
(07:10):
little bit of a factor. I think that that's right.
I think the number being that low for these two
high quality teams, and they did just play with experienced quarterbacks.
I think Ohio State's defense was very comparable. Obviously, the
player that's not there made the biggest play in the game,
and that that's where the score was. The scorer from
just a couple of months ago is where this line
(07:30):
has been put low. So yeah, I think that's all
those things went into why it is where it is.
But we were talking to Sheihan earlier just on the
players in this game, and he gave I thought as
much praise to Caleb Downs as I've heard, and Caleb's
coming to Ohio State with supreme all sorts of hype.
(07:51):
I think he's a really good player. I think he
had a good season. I didn't think too many people
expect I didn't expect him to say that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'll just put it that way.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I didn't realize that he was thought of up into
this season because I think the best player on the
field is probably Jeremiah Smith. The next two best players
both play on Texas's defense, and none of them will
dictate who wins the game as much as the quarterbacks
quite obviously. I think Sayan's running ability is a little
bit of an equalizer, and I think the Texas defensive
speed will allow them to curtail it. No, I can't
(08:21):
think of another year where the eleven AM game was
as big as this one is not to mention the
last game day that will feature the head gear pick
from one league Corso there you have it, Week one edition,
Stone Cold locks
