Episode Transcript

(00:06):
Doesn't this song just remind you howit starts like of like a race car,
does it? Yeah, it's greattoo, It's a good tune.
I don't know the reason why Iplayed it is because I wanted to catch
up at our next guest on allThings F one and Las of Vegas.

(00:27):
Let's head out to Vegas if we'rejoined by Jeff Parls, who joins us
every single Tuesday right here on adaily ticket. And as always, you
can find Jeff on socials at JeffParls and he is representing to find folks
over at the South Point Studio,home of Sports by the Book. Make
sure you give Jeff a follow onsocials, and while you're there as well,

(00:50):
check them out what he's got goingon YouTube channel all that soap post
Studio LV. The boys and girlsover there are doing tremendous work and created
it new fresh for the people outthere. Jeff, great to have you,
as always take us F one.How was it just the race itself?
Because I can tell you on televisionit was pretty damn cool to see

(01:11):
Vegas lit up like that. You'vebeen part of it, You've been there
the race itself though. Just tellus your thoughts from a Vegas perspective.
Well after the disaster earlier in theweek with the manhold cover and destroying almost
destroying Shyan's' car, it hobnoestly wentoff as well as I think anyone could

(01:33):
have hoped. The event looked greaton television. Obviously, the strip was
lit up. This here is anincredible looking building. But look, I
think from everyone's perspective locally still itprobably didn't bring enough for people to be
happy with it here in Vegas.But tough for us because it's it's good

(01:53):
be here for ten whole years,and you just got to hope at least
from one perspective locally. And Iknow, and so you guys don't care.
But for these from my perspective,like, just don't mess up the
traffic as badly as it did,like near two. Like if it's anywhere
near as bad, uh, theremight be an actual revolt from some of
the locals here in town. Butgoing off exciting rates, they're actually passes

(02:17):
in it, which doesn't really happenvery often in Formula one. Uh,
So they're pretty exciting all the wayaround. I think they could in the
mass for a better showcase than whatthey've gotten on the well two weeks ago
now two weeks ago. Yeah,we didn't get an opportunity to speak to
you last week, so I justwanted to catch up with you on that.
Now we know what it took toset up. How about breaking it

(02:38):
down? Are things still up?Are they still tearing things down or were
gonna be They're gonna be carried,They're gonna be carried stuff for a while.
Yeah. It is crazy what theywhat they were able to build.
I I just it blew me away. I love Vegas. I know the
strip very well, been there afew times, so I'm like familiar.
All that work to build it justall down right away. The stands that

(03:00):
or anything they're gonna keep up.The only mistake that I made, guys
is I definitely should have Ribben downthere while everything was up, and then
just was like, oh, I'ma four wheel lawn racer migrat on Dave
Sonata. Yeah like that not quitethe same. No, definitely not.

(03:20):
I don't think so, definitely not. That's the one thing about those cars,
and I've only been to a NASCARrace, but I think the F
one is right up there with It'sjust the sound. It's amazing, just
the the power that those engines carry. And F one is even on a
whole nother stratosphere. But fifty laps, I was like, all that for
fifty laps though, that was interestingto me. I don't know, I
just I didn't know. I'm notan F one guy, So fifty laps

(03:44):
I just was like, well thatseems a little a little light. NASCAR
they're going for two hundred, youknow, fifty laps though, all right,
whatever, Hey, look, aslong as people made money, you're
right. The the that's what itcomes down to. The were they able
to get money, like the monetizingall that, then of course it's going
to be back. But if not, then maybe it might be just two

(04:05):
and done. But we'll see,we'll see. I thought it. I
doubt it's too and done. I'dprobably be fine, I would. I
would guess if anything is done afterfive, like, you just could be
here for a while, and quitefrankly, and there's no problem with it
being here for a while. Solook, we'll just see how it all
all plays out over over the nextfew years. Well, next one up

(04:25):
for you guys, Well it's thePAC twelve Championship this Friday night. So
we got that, and then ofcourse the Super Bowl fast approaching it as
well. Let's get in, geton over it to the grid, iiron.
Let's open up with the NFL first, and I want to get your
thoughts on a game, and thenwe'll go to the Award Awards season and
see where you stand as far asMVP is concerned. But right here,

(04:46):
right now, the forty nine ersare catching are given three points to the
Philadelphia Eagles. This game is beingplayed at Lincoln Financial Fields Sunday. The
lights will be shining bright. Thisis your number one call with Olson and
Burkhart on the call for Fox.And you know, some people are wondering
why the Eagles are three point underdogs. Others like myself and John are kind

(05:06):
of we understand it. I don'tknow though, Like when it comes to
wagering on this game, I couldtalk myself into both ways. I honestly,
Jeff, I'll tell you straight up, I'll find other games on the
card the wagern to put my moneyon. But if I made you,
Jeff Parls, to make a selectionon this game, where are you going?
You know? It's funny the disrespectthat the Eagles have gotten from some

(05:38):
who want to claim they're smart people. It is really flabbergasting here. I
mean I even saw a few peoplecomparing them the last year's Minnesota Vikings,
which is just beyond insulting to thisyear's Eagle group, which by any real
metric is still a top ten teamalready as good as the one loss that

(05:59):
they have, they probably are,and they probably should have an extra two
or three losses. But you knowwhat, when you're a really good team
that is really well coached, thatare really good quarterback, that has a
top notch offensive line, and havea pretty good defense, you're gonna win
a bunch of games you're not supposedto. That's just the way that it
goes in the National Football League whenyou're one of the better teams. I

(06:20):
think this line is insane. Personally, I think this should be a pick.
I think this is a coin flip. I think San Francisco is probably
a better team when at full strengthlike they are right now, But the
Eagles have home field a damage.And look, I know the Niner fans
were complaining all off season long aboutah Rock parties elbows, what all that

(06:42):
fuck I mean he brock Perty ishealthy. You think the Niners are winning
that game. I don't think so, I really don't. So we're in
the whole scenario here where everyone's healthy. There's no excuses on either side.
Yes, for the Eagles perspective,you like to get Lane Johnson back for
the game on Sunday, and Ithink he will play based off of everything
I've read through these first two daysposts that's been sitting out on Sunday against

(07:05):
the Bills at three. It's anall the take with the Eagles, and
if the Niners beat me, sobe it. That's kind of the way
I look at it. These areteams one and two for me in the
NFL. I think you're the twobest teams, and I think the Eagles
find a way yet and get itdone on Sunday, win this thing out
right and covered the three. Whoo. That's our first Eagles wager right there.

(07:27):
Okay, that's the first one I'veheard. Everybody else, that's the
person I've heard too. Yes,it's been a lot of nnered up.
Jeff Pearls from Vegas is hold upthe disrespect. I'm right there with them
on that too. Yeah, Ijust helped Jeff. The one thing I
will say, just to cut youoff, John, is that you know
the injuries are definitely a factor.Fletcher Cock's not going to be the Dallas
gott Or potential might be back.We need to find out what's going on

(07:48):
with Lane Johnson. But I'm rightthere with you. The expectation he'll play.
We're talking about if defense that justwent up ninety plays on Sunday.
I don't know what's going to happento practice this week, how aggressive they
can do, what they can do, put pads on it like it might
be a bunch of walk throughs thisweek for everybody on a defense sided ball
for the Eagles. And yeah,the forty nine ers were arrested, So
that's a recipe for success for theforty nine ers, correct. I mean,

(08:11):
look again, you can make theargument the Niners are a much better
team show. I mean, thatargument is valid the Niners. The three
losses the Niners have had, oneof them was without mccalf McCaffrey barely played
in that Cleveland game. Sanderlin playedmuch in that game, either didn't play
any other two losses, and partywas concussed in the Minnesota game, so

(08:35):
they were not healthy. Ken Williamsdidn't play in any of those games either,
And yeah, there is a scenario, and look, this is this
is just how I am in comparisonto others, Like I think the Eagles
are to me, the say,if you're going off straight tower ratings,
the Niners at full strength are thebest team in the NFL, But the

(08:56):
Eagles are the second best team inthe NFL. And the Eagles have the
game in so home field I thinkdoes mean something in this spot where you're
taking a team that guess the weatherisn't the greatest in the Bay Area,
but it's hell of a lot betterthen it's gonna be gonna be on Sunday
in Philly. And so you're ina scenario here where again I think this

(09:18):
should be a pick in Philly.I think it should be a pick.
I don't think the Eagles should begetting points. And then I beat me
so good. I mean, we'vebet so many games this year, Like,
I, what's this different from anyother game that I bet? If
I if I lose eye, let'smove to the next one. Guys,
Oh it is, yes, Ido. This is such a fascinating spot

(09:41):
because the Eagles. You know,I think they you know, I think
a lot of betters would say theprobably should have lost the last two games
just because they got you know,out gained against Buffalo and bad spots.
And yet they continue to win.And here comes a forty nine Ers team
that has all these great metrics andI'm sure, like you just said,
power rated very high, and Ithink it's gonna be an overcompensation of Okay,
well, the Eagles definitely have tothis time. How difficult has it

(10:03):
been, truly for you to betthe Eagles or to kind of figure out
the spots, because there are youknow, a lot of sharps and some
betting wisdom that would tell you togo the other way in these games.
Yet the Eagles just continue to keepwinning them. I mean, I just
treat the Eagles as I've treated themnow for the better portion of the year
and a half. They're one ofthe three at worst one of the three

(10:24):
best teams in the NFL. Andwhen you're dealing with one of the three
best teams in the NFL, Imean, it's kind of the thing why
it was so hard when the Eagleswent to Kansas City for me to bet
the Eagles because you're getting Mahomes lessthan a field goal in that game.
You never get mahomes less than afield goal at home. So it was
hard for me to bet the Eagles. But I thought the Eagles were better,
and I know that game played out, and I thought Kansas City should

(10:48):
have won that game the way itplayed out. Kelsey fumbled in the red
zone mark and MVS dropped what shouldhave been a walking touchdown at the end
of the game. As we know. I actually think, when it's all
said and done, I thought theEagles were more fortunate to win the Kansas
City game than they were to winthe game on Sunday against Buffalo, because
when you're Buffalo, you needed tobe up twenty points in the third quarter

(11:09):
of that game. He needed tobe up twenty with how they dominated that
first at that first half, andthey let the Eagles hanging the game.
You can't let a really good teamhang around. And honestly, the Buffalo
Bills under Sean McDermott had made aThey made a living awful letting teams hang
around, and you know what,they paid the price they lost the game.
Should they have lost the game,probably not, because gave Davis was

(11:31):
wide open in the end zone andran the wrong route. But I think
in the end it's again, reallygood teams find the find ways to win,
and that's what the Eagles are doingright now, unlike last year with
Minnesota, where all their metrics stunkand they just had had a lucky horseshoe
in their back pocket the whole year. Tell you what people must be listening

(11:52):
because that number is now down totwo and a half on drafted. Whoa
here, good half on the Birds. What do you think that it goes
to kickoff? That kickoff? Ithink, Sean, I think it ends
at two and a half. Okay, I think I think that. I
think we get some toggling between twoand a half and three. I don't
see us going back to two unlessthe public just overwhelms everything. But I

(12:18):
think that closes nine ers two anda half. That would be my guess.
Excellent stuff. We got Jeff Parloslive from Las Vegas. Here's a
weekly Tuesday spot. Always great tokick things around with. Jeff. I
know what he's thinking here. Let'sstay with it some games. I'm gonna
stay with this and then we'll geton over to the MVF Discussion Thursday Night
Football Cowboys and Seahawks Dallas eight anda half, forty six and a half.

(12:39):
We're holsting to watch party. We'regonna be placing some wagers. I
think this game might have a littlebit more attention. Of course, featuring
the Dallas Cowboys. Seahawks aren't allthat bad as well, so maybe one
of the more interesting Thursday Night footballgame. Is definitely the most interesting game
we've been a part of this year. I think, so anything for you
on this one, Jeff, nothing, but I think to see about the

(13:00):
collapse. Gino Smith's not healthy,that defense is not as good as it's
shown through the year, and they'rebig underdogs in this game. They're gonna
be big underdogs next week against theNiners. They're gonna be home underdogs against
the Eagles. Assuming they lose allthree of those, they're gonna be six
and eight with no tie breakers onthe Rams, who very well may end

(13:24):
up tied with them. If youcan find a good price in Seattle to
miss the playoffs, I would doit before this game on Thursday, because
it just seems like a four game, a five game losing streak in the
making for the Seahawks if to dateback to that Ram game that they lost
a few weeks ago. So nothingfor me in this game. I think
the numbers are right. Dallas hasbeen great at home. But you have

(13:46):
that question who they've beaten so farthis year. They still haven't really beating
anyone who's any good. But theylook, they looked the part, they
look the part of the record.I don't think that's I don't think it's
a fraudulent record they have. Ithink they are that they very easily could
have flipped that Eagle game earlier inthe year, as we know. So
I think at this point de Ninders, the Cowboys, and the Eagles,

(14:07):
if it's not one of those threeteams making it to here in Vegas for
the Super Bowl, something has reallygotten weird than the NFCIX. Yeah,
gave that interests me a lot.One o'clock Texans Broncos, because Broncos are
all of a sudden on this runand everybody's thinking Russ's back. But then
you you know, see some ofthe analysts and everybody going and I don't

(14:28):
know about the Broncos yet, holdon, we'll see, we'll see.
You gotta see more, though it'snot looking that much better. I mean
to me, this looks like maybea good spot to go back on Houston
after a tough division game on theat home, but still tough division game,
you lose, But here comes aBroncos team that certainly still seems beatable,
even though on a five game winningstreak. Yeah. I crossed this

(14:48):
one off immediately. John for onereason, or actually for two reasons,
one on each side. I don'tthink the Texans are as good as people
think they are because CJ. Stroudand has look Caesius Stroud's been great.
He's gonna win Offensive Rookie of theYear. I don't think he's these last
few games. They were fortunate.In the Arizona game, the Cardinals just

(15:11):
couldn't take advantage of the turnovers.Uh. He took a really bad sack.
That's forst Damondola to kick a kickhe was not capable of making at
the end of the game on Sunday. Uh. There were some really awful
officiating that game also, by theway, but whatever, regardless, there's
an ever game at this point.But as great as Stroud has been,
I don't think he's quite been asgood as everyone in the public things.

(15:37):
And then on the Russell Wilson's side, Russell Wilson has definitely not been as
good as everyone I think he's beenso far. Just look at the way
they've won games. They've won thegames because the defense has started to step
up. Uh, if that defensedidn't regress back to a normal mean and
honestly regress past it in a positiveway with how good they've been since.

(15:58):
Really the game against the Jets whenthe Jets thirty one on them, which
might think that yet six games therest of the year to score thirty one
points, But you're You're in ascenario here where I think both of these
teams are overvalued. So that's areally hard game for me to pick when
I think both teams are overvalued.So I stayed off of it. I

(16:19):
guess Newston probably wins the game becausethey're at home, but who knows.
This Bronco team has been defying awhole bunch of logic the last few weeks.
Yeah, that's the game that Idefinitely circled. I won't lie.
I definitely took the Texans. ThatMoneys are that numbers on the move.
We'll see it's a show me gamefor Russ and that Denver Broncos team.
I think they've definitely gotten extremely luckyin some spots. A lot of those

(16:41):
games are at home. We'll seewhat they can do on the road against
Texans. Now, let's get overto the awards. Let's talk about the
award tour. Let's talk about theMVP DraftKings Sportsbook the front runner Jalen Hurts
plus one thirty, Mahomes plus threefifty, Lamar four to one, Dak
Prescott plus seven fifty two and nineto one. And then we'll throw brock
perty and Christian McCaffrey. We've hadsome movement there in the last couple of

(17:03):
days. Brock pretty fourteen one,McCaffrey sixteen to one. We'll stop there.
I said that. Now, Look, I think we've all been in
agreement that the names at the topwere definitely guys that were gonna be there
at the end. They've been therefrom week one. Jalen, Mahomes,
Lamar, Dak whatever Tua I thoughtafter Buffalo at that game against Buffalo,
Jalen is now. I think wesaid yesterday in the show that he's driving

(17:26):
the car. He got in thecar he's now he fired it up.
He's in second gear. You know, he's got a yellow light. He
just went through it. But he'sdriving the MVP card right here. Now,
where do you stand as far asthis award is concerned? And would
you fire on Lamar on Jill Nerdsat plus one thirty at this current number,
I absolutely would not. I don'tthink he should be the favorite right

(17:48):
now, and I'm not sure heshould be the favorite right now. That's
kind of what this MVP race hasbeen. It's been a jumbled mess.
Guys. If we were doing thisright, Tyreek Hill would win the award.
If we were doing this right.Where you take Tyreek Hill off the
field for the Dolphins and that offenseI think looks pretty average. And that's

(18:11):
not to say I don't think twois good and the other guys on the
offense are good, which they are. Lonald's a really nice player. Eighth
when he's been able to play,is a explosive I like moster. They
have a good line, they obviouslyhave a great coach, but Tyreek kill
you take him off that offense,they go from arguably the best offense in
the NFL to probably the eleventh twelvethirteen best offense, which even in the

(18:36):
year where Buffalo is treading water aroundfive hundred, that might not be good
enough to get Miami the division inthe AFCs. So to me that I
don't even think it's closed. Personally, I think tyreek Kill is clearly the
MVP of the league right now.But no, I don't think he's winning
this because I think the voters aretoo deainst to vote for Well. Yeah,

(19:00):
in preseason, that's something that weargued about, John and I remember
the offensive what was it? Soit's the offensive player of the year the
year. Yeah, So I'm rightthere with you. So, like Jeff,
I would agree with you. It'sjust like, Okay, from the
gambling perspective, where's the money goingto be at the end of this bat?
I mean, who would have abetter chance, Sean. From the

(19:21):
gambling perspective, the only bet tobe made right now is Rock Party.
That's the only bet, the onlybet to be made right I like that
because the Niners, Because if theNiners go to Philly and win the game
comfortably and Party looks great, Partyis gonna be the second favorite. Is
there a chance McCaffrey can jump him, though I don't again, I think
the voters are too dense to votefor for a noncomer. That, yeah,

(19:42):
I don't think McCaffrey again if yougive me award to McCaffrey over Hill,
and this is no slight to McCaffrey, who is amazing in his own
right. And we saw what happenedin the Niner offense in that Cleveland game
when you took him off the field. It's completely ridiculous. If he'll it's
if Hill gets to the season onthe paces on breaks, the receiving record,

(20:04):
plays all plays sixteen or seventeen games. If he doesn't play week week
eighteen, if the Dolphins has adivision wrapped up, fine, but Tyreek
Hill has to be ahead of ChristianMcCaffrey for anyone who was watched this year
in the way of the way we'redoing the voting. I know the odds
don't dictate that, but Hill Hillis more important to the Dolphins than McCaffrey

(20:27):
is to the Niners, and thatI think should be saying everything because of
showing how important McCaffrey is it thatNineers team. I am the owner of
a fifty to one rock Purty MVPticket. Just put that. Think it's
a great ticket. Shohn, Yeah, that is a great fifty And and
and Jeff, John and I.I think we have a sandwich bet that

(20:47):
I said that party will receive anMVP vote. And John Jansen said a
few weeks ago that I was outof my mind. This is probably about
eight weeks ago, to be honestwith you. So look, I might
beginning a sandwich out of the dealtoo. I don't know, you won't
be He's gonna get a vote.Dak Prescott is a better MVP candidate than
brock perty we'll find out. Hey, look it's it's week thirteen. There's

(21:08):
still a lot of games to beplayed, a lot of games, all
right, Jeff, We've been allover to Gauntlet in the NFL side,
let's get on over to college footballside. PAC twelve championship. They're all
big this week, right, butthis is probably SEC in Pac twelve.
Just say neck and neck. Oregonis a nine and a half point favorite.
Sixty six and a half is yourtotal in this one taking place in

(21:29):
your backyard out there in Vegas.Oregon lost to Washington by three earlier this
year. Washington's undefeated yet they're catchingnine and a half. What gives on
that point spread? And where doyou stand on the game? Oh,
I will be there in Allegion onFriday, and I'm very excited. Nice.
The line is right. The lineis right, Sean, Just look

(21:52):
at how these teams have played sinceWashington won that game, and that was
a coin flip. That game wasa coin flip. If Oregon makes that
kick at the end of regulation andgo to overtime, who knows what happens
in overtime. Maybe Oregon wins,maybe Washington still wins. We don't know.
So that was as close to acoin flip you're ever going to see
in a college football game between twohigh end teams. This then, Washington

(22:15):
has probably been the eighteenth best teamin the country. They really had not
played at a high level at allduring this run. I mean the USC
game, they were fortunate. USC'sdefense was pathetic. They could have very
easily lost that game. Oregon Statewas an even game in Corvallas. Where

(22:37):
Oregon State doesn't snap the ball throughthe end zone on a punt, they
might lose that one as well.Arizona State haven't dead to right until the
pick six. This Washington team isthey're not the third best team in the
country. I get wider rated therated in the top four in the college
football rankings will probably be number threeafter Ohios. They lost to Michigan last

(22:59):
week, but they're not the thirdbest team. Oregon, on the other
hand, at the moment, Ithink it's the best team in the country
with the way they've played. Washingtonand Bonnicks. Jaydon Daniels and Bonicks are
the only two people that could possiblyget a Heisman vote for me at this
point. No one else is evenremotely close to me for those two guys.
So yeah, I look, Ithink the line's right. It would

(23:22):
it shocked me of Washington POLTI hadright upset, No, because we've seen
that they are capable of playing atan elite level. They have a great
offense, they have a defense thatI don't think gets enough credit for coming
up big and big spots. ButI just think the Ducks are significantly better.
And when push comes to shove,I think the better team finds a
way and they win, they cover, and Oregon gets into the college football

(23:45):
playoffs, and they are going tobe a team that no one wants to
draw in that semi final. Wow, that is amazing to hear. Now,
a quick little follow up, Pennixis sixteen to one, that's not
worth a little sprinkle because if theydo beat Oregon, wouldn't he be considered,
wouldn't he be a front runner forthe Heisman? It's a fascinating,

(24:06):
yeah, ba, fascinating handle Sean. It is because if like there is
a universe where Panics and the Huskieswin and Panics completely outplays Nicks, and
people were watching that game with theonly other realistic candidate not playing this week
and Jadeen Daniels, I can't Idon't think again, I don't think Kanicks

(24:27):
unless the Panics does something just totallycompletely outraated, rageous this week, I
just don't see it. I thinkhe's just too far behind those two guys.
But you want to put a littlepizza money on it, I think
there are worse sixteen to one betsout there that j company. I like
that, all right, I'm gonnahave to get some action on that one,
all right. Interesting, Okay,let's keep it moving as far as

(24:48):
college football is concerned, to geton over to the SEC game. I
think we're still holding out five anda half Georgia five and a half point
favorites fifty five. Any chance Alabamagives us some game, keeps it close,
maybe comes out on top plus oneeighty on the money line, Yeah,
I mean it's Alabama, right,I mean, they absolutely are capable
of keeping this thing closed. Georgiareally messed around last week, but that

(25:10):
George Dech team is one of theI'm very happy I don't have to bet
anymore of that team's games because theywere the most perplexing team in the Old
Country to be Georgia Dech so happythat it will only be a bowl game
for them, which I almost assuredlywon't bet. But for this one,
look, guys, Georgia looks haslooked like the number one team in the
country the last month. They finallybothd liked it. Carson Beck has looked

(25:33):
really good, brought Valers is healthy, that defenses obviously loaded with talent.
Alabama was. I still cannot believethe type of defense that Auburn threw out
there on that fourth and goal fromthe thirty one. I mean, all
three of us could have put abetter defensive strategy out there, and that's
saying something that was pathetic what Auburndid, and no Alabama should have Austin

(25:59):
should have been all over for Buthere we are. And usually when you
give a team like that a secondlife, they usually take advantage of it.
If we get back to six,I'm gonna take it With Bama.
I'm not sure if they get theiroutright, but this game is gonna be
cloked. And I don't see Georgiarunning out of Alabama. I don't see
BAMA running out Georgia on the flipside, but these are to me too

(26:19):
when Bama's white, DAMA is atop three team in the country, they
just only have been right though probablyin the twelve games, maybe about three
of them, they've looked like theteam that I think they should be.
So it's kind of a roulette wheelof what you're getting out of this DAMA
team on a weekly basis. That'sfair. I like it. The great
Jeff Parls last one, Jeff,your favorite college football play this week?

(26:41):
What do you got in your car? Your favorite one? Ooh, it's
a good question, Sean. Ilike New Mexico State getting all those points
in Liberty. Garry Kill has obviouslydone an insanely good job with one of
the worst programs to happen to bethe head coach of. There's nothing in

(27:03):
Las Cruses. It's down to tenin most spots. I think that's good.
I wish i'd bet Texas when thelines came out, because I think
they're gonna run Oklahoma State out ofthe buildings. And then the only other
one I'd consider is I like theover in the Big ten game. Guys,
I like the over and Iowa over. Wow. I know all these

(27:26):
games have got under, but whatstop in Michigan from winning this game forty
one to three. Not a damnthing, not a damn thing. No,
nothing is keeping Michigan from running thisthing up. Well, let me
let me let me pitch this rightback. Let me pitch this right back
at you. The team total,because my coach yesterday Markkenry Junr love the
team total for Michigan. Would youmore like the team total for Michigan or

(27:49):
would you rather the total on thegame at thirty six and a half thirty
five and a half Now, Imean, I mean, I mean they're
both fine. But if Michigan goesover to team total, I think for
blast over the regular game. Also, I mean, I mean, I
mean, guys earlier today Iowa wasteam total in both halves. Was a
half come, So I mean,what are we doing? That's serious?

(28:17):
Half a point? Yes, DraftKings this morning had Iowa was first half
and second half team totals as ahalf. I've only seen that one other
time in any football game. Theonly other time I ever saw it was
actually it was a live one.It wasn't even a pre flop one.
It was a live one. Rememberthat game during the pandemic year where where

(28:40):
Kendall Hidden had to play quarterback forthe Denver broncast. Yes, yeah,
yeah, where we're where all theguys were in COVID protocols that had to
play Kendall Hiding, who played afew games at Wake parts the quarterback and
then was an NFL wide receiver.Uh, that was a half. That
was a half for the second halfof that. The only reason I know

(29:00):
that is because you're a truly betover a half in the second half.
I'm Denvers point total and Brandon McMahonhas made a fifty nine yard field goal
to get me home with that.So it's flabbergasting again the fact that IOWA
won ten games it's just such astain on the Big ten West how pathetic
death division was. And look,I'll credit Ben Braun in Northwestern because that

(29:23):
was that's crazy that they won sevengames with everything that happened with them in
the off season, But that's alsoa testament to heal pathetic death division that
ended up being. And really,if you're a Wisconsin fan, and I
don't know how many of them thereare, and you're not gonna work guys,
but I would be royally concerned aboutLuke Fickle with what happened this year.
I would be super concerned that thismight have been the easiest Big ten

(29:48):
West. Well Big ten West doesn'texist after this year, but this is
the easiest path he probably will everhave to make it to Indianapolis. And
they went seven to five. That'sall warming for Fickle, even with the
being his first year, even withinstituting a new system, he had to
win at least ten games in Madisonthis year, and they can come close.

(30:11):
Yeah, I definitely heard a fewpeople talking about the disappointment Fickle and
that's that's the program this year.But he's not going anywhere. We'll see
if he can turn it around nextyear, and we shall see how this
one plays out this week as faras all things college football, and then
we get into the final four.Jeff Parls outstanding stuff. As always,
Sarah will continue to follow you atJeff Parls. What's cooking over there in

Jeff Parlos can't thank you enough,sir. Enjoy the rest of your
day, good luck and all yourplays, and I look forward to recapping

(31:15):
it all with you, of coursewith Jansen next Tuesday, Sir, down
good see you guys next week.My man, there he is once again
Jeff Parls live from Las Vegas.What's the matter John Coue. No,
it's a good conversation. Yeah,he's bringing it. Yeah, he's been
bringing the heat a lot lately.He's got a new show, so he's
got you know, he's got tohe's got got some too. You know

(31:37):
when they put graphics, when theyput out the graphics, faces on them.
I'm looking at the co host Ohere, miss alex Alexandra White.
I think she needs to be theface. I know. But for some
reason, they keep putting his faceout there. I don't know why.
Hey, come, I kid.Uh. I actually was watching some videos
that they were doing. I thinklast week I caught some with they were

(31:59):
talking about the Eagles and fabulous workover there. But of course they got
great names. Chris Andrews. I'mgonna murder his last name, but I
know he goes by Vinnie by theBook on Socials, and then Vinnie mag
Magolulu Magalou. I just maganz.I'm not saying yeah, it's it's that's

(32:19):
what it is. That's what itis. He's really good though. Vinie
by the Book, uh, justvery calm and just gives you the numbers
from the sports books perspective. Imean, these guys have been doing it
for so long. Uh, youwant to learn. That's how you learn.
You go ahead and you start listeningto folks like that that know what
they're talking about. They can giveyou a little bit more insight on why
the Eagles are catching three at home. Well, the hottest team in the

(32:42):
NFL at ten and one. Yeah, and they probably say it's I mean,
obviously they would wow that Iowa game, though, are you kidding me?
With a half a point? It'sinsane? That is that surprising?
Though they're not going to get afueld goal. What's the final score in
this game? They're nothing? Itcould be that's it could be something like

(33:04):
that. Yes, I don't eventhink Michigan gets that much. See here's
here's the thing that I think.It's like a twenty four to nothing,
twenty four to three games if anyone'swagering on totals, actually both ways,
because this applies the sides as well, especially when you get a nine and
a half point spread in that Packtwelve championship game. Whoever has the opportunity
to get points on the board atthe end, like they're going to do

(33:29):
it because style points are a factor. If you can blow a team out
to their style points throwing the football. They're gonna throwing the football in the
fourth quarter too, you know.So I think when you look at that
nine and a half, you mightnormally go's the championship game. Look,
I kind of I think I haveto stay away because I was all Washington
huskied up, and then there's alittle bit of peace in me that wanted

(33:52):
to be you know, like,all right, everyone gets telling me Oregon's
gonna win. I know, Iknow. I was on Washington when they
played Oregon. I get it orno. It once on the first game,
I was on Washington. This one, I'm not sure. No,
I was on orgon the first one. I was, And ever since then,
I've been back in Washington. Withtheir team totals they were cashing last

(34:15):
two weeks. I don't think theycast their team totals. It's been a
right. They just haven't been sharp, and Organ's just got even sharper.
But again, a lot of thatgame with Washington was just down the field
throws, making big plays, andthey missed those. They oh absolutely can
if they missed those, though,it could be an ugly game fast.

(34:37):
That's how good Organ's playing. Oregon'sso efficient in a way that Washington's not.
Why is Bobby Patrino making making headlinesThereia? He's back in Arkansas?
Yes see there? But I seesomebody tweet bring out bring back the Harley
too, dude, Bobby Patrino.I can't believe we're back in a time

(35:00):
line where Bobby Betrino is on anArkansas sideline. Again, that's that's our
timeline right now. That it's theworld we're living in, all right.
A little earlier today, I wasjoined by sham Benard Picks and Roll talking
all things NBA. Of course,there's eight games on tap in season tournament

(35:22):
games going off this evening, andI even asked Sean about this, and
I thought it was pretty good andsomething we need to keep our eyes on.

night in the in season tournament.So some of those spreads we were eyeing
up some teams, we give youa little bit of later land and who's
got a little bit more to playfor? And unfortunately for the Sixers just

(35:44):
wasn't. Wasn't. They're still alive? Yeah? Are you sure? Yeah,
sham Minard laid out. It's likeliterally five teams need to win.
They're dead. It's like a zeropoint zero zero zero zero one percent chance.
Nice, but there's still alive.So maybe don't go ahead and burn

(36:04):
those red that red floor just yet. No, no, you can burn
it. You can burn it rightnow, get rid of it. So
Semana is coming up next. We'regonna head down. We're gonna go check
out the Flyers tonight. Got afinal score Canes three Flyers, A geez
