Brothers Talk Football: Betting Insights & NFL Week 2 Predictions

Send us a text

What happens when two brothers sit down to talk football betting? A hilarious, insightful breakdown of everything from college powerhouses to NFL disappointments—with plenty of disagreements along the way.

This week, host Andy welcomes his brother Matt for their first in-person podcast of the season, diving into the aftermath of Week 1 and setting the stage for Week 2's biggest matchups. The brothers don't hold back as they dissect USF's shocking upset over Florida, placing Gators coach Billy Napier firmly on the "Stay Frosty" hot seat list with a brutal schedule ahead that could lead to as many as nine losses.

NFL discussions heat up with debates about the Cowboys' missed opportunities against Philly, Baltimore's historic collapse against Buffalo, and whether Justin Herbert has finally silenced his critics. But the real fireworks come when making picks—Matt boldly takes Wisconsin +21 against Alabama, arguing the post-Saban era might mark a return to mediocrity for the Crimson Tide, while Andy confidently backs the Lions -6 against a Bears team he believes is focused on everything except winning football games.

Between analysis of Georgia-Tennessee, Chiefs-Eagles, and Monday night's doubleheader, the brothers share laugh-out-loud moments about Windows 11 frustrations, AI technology failures, and their collective disdain for certain coaches' sideline demeanors (we're looking at you, Mike McDaniel and your capri pants).

Whether you're looking for betting insights, college football predictions, or just want to eavesdrop on two brothers who can't agree on anything except that Ryan Clark should "kiss their grits," this episode delivers entertainment and analysis in equal measure. Follow us on TikTok @tssgambling for our famous dog picks and join us next week as we see whose locks hit and whose predictions crash and burn.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hey everybody.
Today is Thursday, september11th, and we are back with
another episode of theSportsbook Sharps.
As always, I am your Andy, andI have a special guest.
It's been a laundry list ofguests so far this season.
I have another new guest thisweek.
He's been on the podcast before, but this is his first

(00:35):
appearance this year.
My brother, matt, is on thepodcast this week.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
First time live in person, excited to be here.
I do think we should open upwith an apology, though we
should apologize to Ryan Clark.
Neither of us have actuallyever played football before, but
we're going to talk football.
I hope Ryan Clark is okay withthat.
He gets really offended ofpeople that didn't play the
sport talking about it, so Iapologize to you, ryan Clark.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I saw that, yeah, ryan Clark a little bit in the
news this week with his commentsabout people that don't play
football shouldn't talk aboutfootball.
But guess what?
I don't think we, ryan Clark,gambles as much as we probably
do on football, so we have everyright to talk gambling about
football.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, my take on that is guys like Ryan Clark are too
busy playing.
Don't watch as much football asothers.
While he's out on the fieldplaying on Saturdays and Sundays
throughout his entire career,we're sitting on the couch
drinking beer watching the game,so I've seen way more football
in my life than he has.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yes, absolutely, and we will for the rest of our
lives.
I don't think.
I mean, I don't know what RyanClark's setup is, but I don't
think he's got five TVs.
We're down here in the basementright now.
We got the Thursday nightfootball game on the main screen
.
We could have put a littlecollege there's probably a few
college games on, but yeah, wewatch a ton of football.
This guy has no idea.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
People that didn't play sports, that watch sports
and talk about sports is 95, no,99.9 of the population.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Right, exactly, yeah, so I apologize, ryan yeah, well
, I don't apologize, ryan, youcan kiss my grits.
Uh, I'm gonna talk sports.
This is a fourth season oftalking sports and I'm gonna to
continue to talk it and I'll geton Twitter and talk it too.
So our X, or whatever it'scalled today, just a little bit
of a gambling group update.

(02:15):
So, like we said, the lastepisode first week was not great
for the gambling group, butlast week we bounced back a
little bit.
Four and three, woo, oh hey,there you go and three whoo
winning week you broke, evenwith the big, maybe a little bit
ahead depending on how much youbet.
Whatever then the odds you gotuncle John and I to know.
All others are behind us.

(02:36):
Oh, it's you.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I need to win this week.
Bad, you're one of the Owentime.
I'm an Owen to her oh no, I'mdoing great to cover the first
week, and then I bet against theColton, apparently Jim Irsay
day, which I did not know, whichwas a mistake.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, that was easy money.
Yeah, the Jim Irsay day, well,and plus Tua, I mean Miami looks
concussed, awful, so I almostmade that my lock this week,
just keep going.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I like that pick as well.
I'm sure we'll get into it, butI do like that.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
And then an update on the new thing I'm doing.
The anti-Iowa parlay Justbarely missed.
I missed the first quarterunder in the halftime by like a
point or a point and a half, soI almost had it.
So I'm going to get back in thelab.
I'll cook up a new anti-Iowa.
I don't know who they even playthis week, if they play this
week, but every week that Iowaplays and I did this last year I

(03:27):
was betting Iowa unders,forever, just the unders, and I
don't know why I didn't think ofit last year to like parlay
quarters and halves and all thisstuff to get better odds
because they just still do notscore.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
They play UMass this week and the over-under is 35 a
half on the Yahoo app right now35.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Their defense is good enough.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
UMass may not score.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, so oh, no sorry .

Speaker 2 (03:51):
The over under is 43 and a half.
I was minus 35 and a half.
I would maybe take UMass plus35.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, that's what I did the first week I took.
I forget who they played, butit was like 38 points or
something, yeah, so yeah.
All right, let's see.
I think that's all I had to sayabout the gambling update.
It's only two weeks in, stillvery early in the season.
Recap on college football Not alot to talk about.

(04:18):
Usf is now 2-0.
They look pretty good.
They beat Florida in the swampby a field goal.
Now, we didn't watch that game.
We were at an all-day partywhen that game, I think, was
going on last week, so we missedout on that.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
We've got lots of thoughts, but we'll save those
for later in the podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Oh, the.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Florida Gators.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
All right.
Well, I also want to put analert out there.
After the first week I thoughtBo dead and not going to be
their normal Boise State, but Idon't know.
They looked really good theother day.
They demolished easternWashington and, with USF now
knocking off Florida, I'mstarting to rethink.
I need to rethink the Smurfturf and just adjust my bets

(04:55):
accordingly, because I was allready to send them off and bet
against them every week, butthey whooped up on eastern
Washington last week.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
But is Florida good or are they really bad?
They were thought highly ofbecause they're in the SEC.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I had their coach on the hot seat last year on the
Frosty Throne.
So yeah, I mean I might havethem up here again in a few
weeks, who knows?
A few weeks.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Or maybe you have them for tonight, oh boy.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
We'll get to that segment a little bit later.
Michigan, oklahoma boringSnoozefest what a boring game.
Michigan's just not goodwithout Harbaugh cheating for
them.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, they're back to not really mattering in
football again.
Exactly Harbaugh showed up andthey mattered and they kind of
disappeared for a long time.
I think they're going to bemiddle of the pack.
Nobody cares anymore nobodycares anymore that's what I
remember when you were in highschool and college, like nobody
like they.
I remember in collegespecifically when they had Mike
Hart and they had like a prettyChad Henney I believe was the

(05:51):
quarterback.
Yeah, they got beat byAppalachian State early in the
season yes, and it was just oneof those.
That was when Rich Rodriguez wasthe head coach, rich Rod was
one of the all-time collapsesand it was was one of the
biggest spreads of all time toactually lose straight up, and I
still remember that game andthat was from… 2008?
07.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
So in 07 or 08, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
What's going on here?
Who just missed that field goalWas that Washington.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Washington just missed it.
Oh my gosh, it was 14-13.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I did have the pack in the game, minus three and a
half.
So that's fine by me.
I do as well.
I think I got actually maybetwo and a half because I live
bet it.
I had to check my app.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Every app had a free bet today, so I've got it three
different ways and threedifferent apps, with all promo
bets there you go.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
And then one last note on college football,
oklahoma State.
This is just a future alert tomyself not to bet on them.
I always think, for some reasonwith mike gundy you know I'm a
man, I'm 40 come at me whatever60 now, wow, that was, that was
I think I was in high school, sothat might have been 20 years
ago.
You might be 60 now, but anywayI always think they're frisky.

(06:58):
They always score a lot ofpoints.
You can always take them inovers.
I think they usually cover thespread when they're underdogs.
They got whooped up 69 to 3whoa 69 to 3, yeah 60.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I missed that score.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, that's why I had it in my notes.
Oh, I mean not even close.
So they're really bad this year.
So do not bet on them to coveranything this year.
I think Gundy might have been alittle bit busy recording those
commercials.
Have you seen that?
He did the?
Come at me, I'm a man, whateverthing.
I know time frame coaches needtheir money too yeah, coaches

(07:32):
need their money and hecertainly got it with the
commercials, so he might be afuture state frosty, he's been
there a long.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I mean probably 20 years, not the longest, cuz Kirk
is the longest, oh yeah coach,coach, right now, ferenc, yeah,
iowa settles for mediocrefootball and they keep him
around forever.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Evidently Oklahoma State does too.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yikes.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
All right, let's jump into the NFL First game.
We've got to talk about ourCowboys.
How about them Cowboys Coveredagainst Philly last week?
I never thought that wouldhappen.
I didn't think Philly lookedvery good.
They looked terrible.
They did not, even though theywon.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
And they're, what did we say?
They're a point favorite, apoint and a half favorite over
Kansas City, Point and a halffavorite and they looked
terrible.
They didn't look good.
Cowboys I don't know if theCowboys were going to be any
good, but they should have beenright there in that game, high
on the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
That was almost my lock of the week.
Almost like a minus five and ahalf again.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I well, my app and CBS had him six and a half and I
still almost.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I took it in the, so Darby and I do the app
CBS pics every week for a workthing that she's in and I took
him.
That Darby did as well.
I mean, look, russell hadcooked last week for the Giants
like that.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
The giant theyants aren't going to be any good.
They look so bad.
I agree I will probably bet theCowboys.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Wait now.
Green Bay ends the half missinga field goal.
What is going on during thispodcast?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
It has moved to minus 4.5, but it's minus 115.
Can we talk about that?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, that's terrible .
Why is it minus?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
115 on the odds.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
So that's where you've got to go.
Oh, you can't log into Fanatics.
Fanatics never does that,almost always minus 110 in
Fanatics.
We'll get to that, all right.
Oh and anyway, last thing onthat the Cowboys.
They were one either non-twoplays.
If they went the other way, theCowboys win this game, I think,

(09:21):
or at least take the lead late.
The CD Lamb miss.
Oh my goodness Right in thebread basket.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
It hits him right in the hands and then later after
that it's one of those catches.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
If he would have made it.
It's like a highlight reel.
It's a superstar play.
Not everybody's going to makeit, but if he wants to be a
superstar, if you miss the firstone, you absolutely have to
make the second one, and hedidn't make either.
And then the fumble like theCowboys have the ball on like
the 15 or 20-yard line and theyjust fumble it away.
Just incredible.

(09:55):
They had a real shot there, butwhatever.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
It would have been a good way to start the season for
them Friday.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, it would have been Friday game in Brazil
Chiefs Chargers.
We kind of talked about this.
I don't get it the Chiefs.
They usually find a way to winthese, but they didn't find a
way this time.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
But that's your guy, though.
Right, you like Justin Herbert?
Well, never heard of himforever.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
As air bear arrived.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I don't know, he looked really good Friday night
Did your ex-guy that was comingat you last year on the tour.
Just come back.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
No, that was two years ago.
We broke up, him and my own exI remember you had- the spike
bet, where you bet the under onthem.
That was two years ago.
Yeah no, that guy went awayquick.
I think he blocked me or Idon't know.
We just went our separate ways.
Sometimes on social media youjust go your separate ways.
And yeah, that was a wholeseason two of the Sportsbook
Sharps.
That was a whole vendettaagainst that guy Because he was

(10:52):
trying to tell me that Air Bearis like an MVP guy.
And he's not an MVP guy.
He might be, I mean, he's a ProBowl guy because, like, 14
quarterbacks make the Pro Bowl,so because every quarterback
begs out of it and so they go tothe next guy in the next guy.
So I could see like SpencerRattler making a Pro Bowl one
day.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
but I mean charge to be good.
I mean that we just talkedabout Michigan.
They stink.
Now hardball is gone back inthe NFL charge probably gonna be
good yeah, no, I.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I think they could contend there.
Then another note on this game,because it was the first time
on YouTube the Brazil game.
I had to put this note in here,matt, and you probably know
these people better than I do,but this was almost my old man
yells a cloud.
It should be.
I have no idea who theseYouTube people are and I and I
watch YouTube like I.

(11:39):
I don't watch it like a kidwatches it, but I I play a bunch
of mobile games and stuff andI'm like I'm on youtube, I'm
youtube adjacent, uh, but notknowing mr beast is pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, I knew who he.
I've I've heard of him.
You've never seen any of hisvideos I never really cared.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
the only thing I see on that, mr beast, is everybody
piling on him because they sayhe does everything for the clout
and that he's not genuine withlike he'll do giveaways Like it
does, can I?
Cram a million people on thisfield, and then somebody wins a
hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I don't know you should watch beast games.
It was on Amazon prime.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh, is this an Amazon plug?
It was really good.
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's a.
It's a reality show competitivegame, and he actually doubled
the prize pool out of his ownmoney.
He's kind of goofy looking,though.
Yeah, he's a very goofyindividual.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I see his candy bar everywhere.
It's a very distinct blue.
Have you seen the candy?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
bar in the show.
Oh yeah, I've seen the candybar.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Is it any good?
It's okay.
It's just like a Nestle.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Crunch.
Yeah, a little more premium,but I'd say the thing in cost or
in taste uh, in, in both oh,okay, okay, so it does taste,
but what he?
Did this year for easter.
He actually had his own littleeaster eggs filled with peanut
butter and I got them and putthem right next to the reese's
cup so they look just like it.
Okay, reese's cup kicks him, Imean it's all that he saw it's

(12:56):
more premium, but not notdoesn't beat that reese's
reese's.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
That's just.
I had some bats, the other day,there's more the cream, the
pumpkins and the bats are out.
Oh my gosh, they're so good.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Uh then, then they were a bunch of people I'd never
heard of yeah, I don't know allthe I don't like, but he, he's
the number one of all time onthere I know he is I I I don't
get it myself.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Uh I'm.
We watch a lot of his.
I'm an older man so I don'tquite understand all that stuff
after the pod.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, all right.
Everybody's homework is to gowatch one Mr Beast video.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I just I don't get it though.
Like the NFL had to be watchingthat.
Like Roger Goodell runs it it'sa bunch of old white men
running it like they had to seethis and be like who's who's, mr
Beast, and why are we doing allthis stuff?
Like, don't you think you thinkthat the average guy sitting at
home in kansas city thatwatched that game knows who
missed?
No, but that's not who they'rethat's not who they're going to.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Those people are going to watch the game anyways.
They're trying to get theyounger kids to watch, right,
the people that aren't going tosit down and watch a three and a
half hour football game.
The young kids don't have theattention span to do that.
So try to pull that generationin.
I, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
I guess.
I guess that he'd do a bunch ofcross-promotion stuff, I'm sure
, adam.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Silver said today he doesn't care if everybody
watches NBA games.
It's a highlight league.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, don't get me going, he's all focused on being
on the highlights.
I wasn't going to bring that up, it's all about the highlights
to him.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
He doesn't care if everybody has access to all the
games.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, games you know well, and that's also ridiculous
because somebody pointed out,internationally you can get all
the games for like 95 a year.
All the games, 82 games.
All the teams, 95 a year.
The nba here in the unitedstates where they play it,

(14:40):
except for toronto, uh, you haveto pay a small fortune, kid.
All the cable channels yougotta have nbc you gotta have,
peacock you gotta have yeah,because they do all these
different things.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
You can't on your because I had NBA TV last year.
Right Trace Jackson Davis usedto watch a lot of his games.
You can't watch any of the onesthat are on ESPN or TNT on
there and then I would getblacked out on the Portland
Trailblazers because they wereon the local.
Sorry, it's very frustratingyeah.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Hmm, sorry, that's very frustrating.
Yeah, yeah, but that was Brazil, so we got one down.
I think there were six or sevento go this year.
That's incredible.
They have a millioninternational games there's.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Germany.
I'm just saying how do you feelabout the?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
international games, whatever.
As long as my team doesn't playthere, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, it's a disadvantage to the teams that
have to go there and play Like.
Is this an exhibition series?

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, Darby keeps calling Jacksonville the
Jacksonville Londoners orwhatever the London
Jacksonvillers or whateverLondon Jaguars.
They're a different story rightBecause if they got no fans.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
they're going to get shipped out of their city, so
they kind of have to give up thegames.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Right.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
But for Kansas City to have to go over there.
That was a home game for themthat's a weird move.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yes, it's that they would super multiple time in the
last few years super five timesfive times a Super Bowl, yeah,
yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Well, it's fine if you go and play exhibition, go
play your preseason games overthere, but to play the regular
season game when you you couldbe coming down to one game
deciding whether you're in orout of the playoffs.
That one's time now see this is.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
You'll learn this now that you're in the eastern time
zone, now that you've movedback to the great midwest.
The london game is a or thegermany, or whatever they are.
They're beautiful when theystart at nine or ten in the
morning because you've got kids.
You'll be up.
So like.
You wake up and, oh, if you canfight the kids for tv, I guess,
but you can.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Like I wake up.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
we do a little breakfast, Darby and I.
We kind of just lounge around,let the dogs out, maybe walk the
dog, come back, whatever, andthere's football on.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's beautiful.
You're talking to somebody thathad nine o'clock college
football kickoffs for the lasteight years.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
There you go, ten o'clock.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
NFL Not starting until noon feels really weird.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
well, there you go, then you'll appreciate it, your
day's half over 1 o'clock forthe NFL super late, not fully
adjusted to that.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Alright.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Battle of Ohio, part 1.
This round goes to the Bengals,but they got lucky.
I don't know if you noticedthis during the game.
The Browns kicker stinks.
He needs to be fired.
Missed a field goal and anextra point in the one point
game.
Got lucky.
I don't know if you noticedthis during the game.
The Browns kicker stinks.
He needs to be fired.
Missed a field goal and anextra point in the one-point
game.
Burrow looked bad.
He didn't have anything goingwith Chase.
I have the stats here Chase twocatches, 26 yards.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yikes, I still like him this week, though.
Who did the Bengals play thisweek?
They got your JacksonvilleJaguars.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh no, it's at home in Cincinnati.
You got T-Walk Don't listen tothis man, he's a guest.
I'm the podcast host here.
You got to take Jags plus threeand a half all day.
The Bengals never win inSeptember.
You'll learn this.
You'll be in Cincinnati You'rea Cincinnati person now and

(17:47):
you'll learn the Bengals theydon't win in September.
That was a rarity.
This year's different, Ibelieve, did they say.
I don't know if I heard thestat right and somebody will
write into the podcast and letme know if I'm wrong.
I think they said this was onlythat coach's second win in
September.
How long has he been there, thisis his fourth year.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I think it's brutal.
They've had a really bad start.
September's been bad.
Last year they didn't win agame.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't think in September.
They just can't start.
They started 0-4 or 0-5 lastyear.
Yeah, they've got to be better.
It was bad, yeah, because theyalmost ended up making the
playoffs but their start wasjust so bad.
So, yeah, yeah, that's all Igot to say about that.
One last thing on that I saidthat's all I had to say.
17 points is not going to winyou a lot of games in the NFL.

(18:29):
So they need to figure thatoffense out, and they will
eventually figure it out,because they'll start hanging
35-40 on people.
But for right now, I'm stillputting up an alert.
I honestly think Jacksonvillelooked good too in their first
game.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, I don't know that I'd buy into Jacksonville
ever.
I know you don't, I know.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
All right, let's talk the Rodgers revenge game,
keeping it in the AFC North.
Here the Stolers, they win butthey don't cover.
Is something wrong with theSteelers' defense?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
They gave them 32 points to the J-E-T-S Jets, jets
, jets, jets.
Yeah, it's not a good outingfor a team that's not going to
be very good this year whoa,wait a minute now.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
I don't know if you listened to last week's podcast.
They're one of my door darkhorses for the super bowl, aaron
no, did you?
I said the jets are right yeahoh oh, giving up 32 to the jets.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah, I thought you were saying
that's not a very good team togive 32 up to start the season.
No, no.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
No, do you think it's a little bit?
Justin Fields is going to bebetter, like he kind of played
well last year.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
You watched the game the other night.
Apparently, the Bears justcan't get a good quarterback.
They stink Trubisky Fields.
I mean Will?
I mean Kayla?
I mean they just can't.
Kayla Williams stinks.
They can't get a goodquarterback.
That class had a ton of goodquarterbacks that came out first
with the number one overallpick and didn't pick the right
one.
They could have picked fourother quarterbacks.
It would have been much betteroff for them, I mean they just

(19:58):
can't get it right.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
They can't develop them either.
I thought Fields did okay lastyear.
I don't know why they made theswitch last year I argued
against it on the podcast whythey switched from Fields to
Russell Wilson.
But yeah, I think I mean theJets stink, though You're right,
yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I mean danger us, you know.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
You got to get them out there and play.
But yeah, I'm getting aboutready to start to panic on my
bet on the Steelers to win theSuper Bowl, because if they're
giving up 32 to the Jets in weekone, that's not good.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, that's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Speaking of future Super Bowl bets.
Packers destroyed the Lions.
Micah Parsons got his firstsack as a Packer.
What a bummer to watch.
As a Cowboys fan, that wasdisgusting.
It's on.
Right now it's Thursday nightfootball.
The Pack's on.
It's gross.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
They keep talking about him.
That's the other thing.
Can we just not talk about himall game?
Well, they have to.
It's such a big thing.
That happened right before theseason where Jerry just totally
screwed it up and so they've gotto talk about it because people
are interested in it.
Packers are in tough division,though I know that was your
number one fan.
We heard it last week.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
No, I'm not the number one fan, I just think
they Look.
Look, they did it on the showtonight.
So darby and I were upstairswatching it while you're putting
the kids down.
Bart star, 27 years old, won asuper bowl.
Uh, brett farm, 27 years old,won a super bowl.
Aaron rogers, 27 years old, wona super bowl.
Jordan love, november, 27 yearsold.

(21:22):
It was the weirdest.
I couldn't believe that was allthe stats.
So that's very strange.
All right.
So I don't know, maybe it'skarma.
Some people say karma is a cat.
I don't like the all-whites no,they're uniformed.
The commanders are.
I have a boring uniform tooyeah also a note Dar 0-1 in

(21:48):
locks after taking the Lionsthere.
That was her first lock of theweek ever and she did not hit it
.
Welcome to the club.
All right, was this possiblythe game of the week?
Baltimore 40, buffalo 41.
First time since the 1960s thatBuffalo has come back from down
15 or more with less than fourminutes left in the game.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Did the Bills win it or did the Ravens lose it?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
I think.
Well, that's an interestingquestion, because they had a
shot.
Baltimore did they got thatpunt back late.
All they needed to do was getone first down and they didn't
get.
Baltimore did they got thatpunt back late.
All they needed to do was getone first down and they didn't
get a first down.
This is a team that brags abouthow they play smash-mouth
football.
They have Derrick Henry,tractor, cito.
They got two running backs backthere.
Lamar runs it all the time,yeah, and they couldn't get one

(22:40):
first down when they needed it,yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
We actually turned the game off.
We thought it was over.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
We came down to the basement, we put it up we put it
up on the corner tv and watchednobody too.
Instead.
And then the next thing I know,we're having to pause the movie
because the game's coming.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
I'm like what is going on?
What happened, yeah?
But I mean, that's just thething in the nfl when you got
really good quarterbacks in thegame, like you're never out of
it.
So yeah, josh allen was one ofthose top tier quarterbacks.
So, um god, it'd be nice tohave one of those top-tier
quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
So God it would be nice to have one of those for a
football team.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Wouldn't that be something I don't know?
I was looking at us.
We have not had the number onepick as a Cowboys fan since
Aikman.
What do?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
you mean.
We've never had a shot to get agood quarterback, oh, that's it
.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
But there have been quarterbacks that the cowboys
passed by, not not high level.
We've not, like I, because Iwas looking it up, because the
bears just keep getting allthese high level draft picks and
quarter right they miss it allof them and I sit here and
debate.
Would I rather have the hopethat I could have a number one
quarterback and he's going to bereally good, or get a
quarterback at like second orthird pick.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
The cowboys have not had that well, not in the top,
like top, like five or ten picks.
But I mean, there'squarterbacks that get taken in
the later rounds that are good,yeah, but the ones that get you
excited are the guys that aretop five.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah yeah, like those are the ones that you're going
to be like.
That's game-changing.
I wasn't excited that we gotDak late.
Some of those aren't overlyexciting.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well, mississippi State Like this Big win for them
last week yeah that was a bigwin.
Big win yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Although I don't know how good that was.
Arizona State right.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, arizona State.
I don't know how good they are,they're kind of right out there
last year.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, I'm not sure about that one.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
But yeah, to answer your question, I don't know.
I think Buffalo won it morethan Baltimore lost it.
I just I mean Josh going to bein the playoffs.
He killed me.
By the way, in fantasy I wasgoing into Sunday night up they
only had Allen left and I was uplike 32, and I'm like, ooh, as
long as he doesn't go crazy.

(24:34):
Oh, he dropped like40-something.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I ended up losing by seven or eight.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
That was tough.
And then last game I want totalk about from last week
Vikings 27, bears 24.
Lady hit her first lock, soStanley picked the Sunday night
game.
The Baltimore Buffalo did nothit it but lady in her first
ever lock hits it.
Lady and uncle mike hit theirlocks and uncle mike had the
vikings minus one and a half.

(24:59):
What a comeback.
First half was terrible.
That game was almostunwatchable.
Yeah, I mean, I didn't see itWell we were working on the
house but I saw JJ came back andhad three touchdowns in the
fourth quarter Three touchdowns.
I wrote him off early in thegame, twice in the game.
I wrote him off because theyhad really bad drives and I was

(25:20):
already going to Twitter like,oh, this is why you don't draft
a guy that's coached, cheated,like oh, they need the plays to
see what the Bears are doing,that kind of stuff.
And then he's, of course, threetouchdowns as Randy Moss is on
the Manning cast or whatever.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
And that goes to the painful right To your Bears fan.
You got the number one pick.
You picked him over JJ right.
Jj went later in the draft.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
And then you watch him put up 21 on you in the
fourth quarter and you don'tthink your quarterback can do
that.
Well, yeah, it's painful, well,and it just.
I mean, can we talk a minuteabout caleb williams and that
outfit he was wearing?
He should be arrested.
He got a lot of hate for thatwell, he should, and I was on it
early.
I said it to the gambling groupearly.
I was like, oh man, I shouldhave loaded up when I saw what
he was wearing.
I should have loaded up that,knowing they wouldn't end up
winning.
You cannot.

(26:08):
You're a professional athleteand you're wearing, like the old
man, undershirt under youruniform, like that, and it was
like a brownish tannish, I don'teven know, like a camo tannish
thing or something with stripes.
I it was awful looking.
It's not anywhere near thebear's colors.
Like what was he doing wearingthat under it?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
you're gonna get called out on all that when you
play the way he does.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah yeah, well, it doesn't matter, even if they won
.
I was still calling him out onthat, like that was ridiculous
and the whole thing.
Like if you look at modern nfluniform, if you watch nfl films
and watch games from like the60s, 70s, 80s, the the players
like sleeves.
They had the quarterbacks hadlong sleeves.
The whole reason they don'thave them now is they don't want
people grabbing them whenthey're in the pocket and stuff.

(26:52):
That's why they've slowlyshifted them up.
That's why the uniforms look sobad now, because the shoulder
stripes have gone from like midarm up onto the top of the
shoulder.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
That's why it looks terrible.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
That's why, if you see, like they just showed a
packers guy in the crowd, hisuniform or jersey has a much
better.
It has arms sleeves on it.
It looks much better withsleeves.
So if we're going to go thisroute with caitlin williams
wearing that, he should have towear the bears jersey with just
sleeves.
Yeah, it's always ridiculous.
Oh, I get so worked up on that.
All right you're a big uniformguy I am a big uni guy, my guy

(27:27):
retired, though in the offseason the last year or so, he,
my uni watch guy, retired.
So now I don't, I don't, I'mnot as plugged in as I used to
be, but uh, all right, let's getto the.
Stay frosty.
We're done with recaps here.
Matt, you gotta stay frosty,for sure, do we kind of hit it
at we got dead man walking.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
He is going to stay frosty, as can be.
I got Billy down in Florida.
Billy, billy boy down inFlorida.
Oh boy, he is going to getfired.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I think I had him on last year.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
He will be fired before the season is over.
He has absolutely no chance tosurvive this season.
He lost that game the otherweek, which was just abysmal
that he lost Right.
Their schedule is an absolutebrutal schedule.
I they might be a nine lossteam this year.
Oh, come on.
I looked up the schedule nine,nine losses let's, let's hear a

(28:17):
couple you find me a win in hereso wait, we got one loss right.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
One.
One loss, one and one.
Okay, all right, they're at lsu, that's a loss.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
At the University of.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Miami that's a loss.
Yeah, that's probably a loss.
Texas yeah, that's a loss.
Texas A&M I don't know.
I never believed in the 12thman, so, yeah, probably a loss.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Okay, they have Mississippi State, which just
beat Arizona State, the otherday, I don't know.
Okay, so that one's probably awin.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I'm counting that as a win.
Oh, you're counting that as awin.
That's a win for them.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Oh boy, They've got Georgia.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
No, what's that coming down the track?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Oh boy, they got Kentucky at Kentucky.
They'll probably win that one.
Kentucky's not very good.
And then they finish.
They finished the season, oleMiss Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Florida State.
I'm not a big Rocky Top guy,but oof, that's a brutal
schedule.
I mean that's 7, 8, maybe 9.
Yeah, I could go 9.
And now the SEC's overrated.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
All their people are overrated.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, everybody's ranked.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
But literally the remainder of their schedule.
They have two non-ranked teamsand the lowest ranked team they
have is Ole Miss at 17.
Yeah, that's, that's a brutalschedule for a team that just
got beat by South Florida andthey put up 16 points.
He's going to be fired.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah, no, that's true , he's been there a while.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, he went 3-5, 3-5 and 4-4 in the SEC.
So he's going to have anothersubpar losing year in the SEC.
He's going to be fired.
Oh boy, dead man walking, he'sout All right.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
So stay frosty, you got to say it.
You got to say it.
Stay frosty, billy boy.
All right, I'm going to the NFLfor mine and I think I put him
on here before.
I'm pretty sure I put him onhere last season.
I'm putting up Dolphins headcoach Mike McDaniel.
I don't need to rehash all hismediocrity because I've done
this before.

(30:06):
So if you want to check it out,check out season three.
I'm sure I put him up.
I don't know.
Once or twice they lost and Iknow it's the Jim Irsay passed
away over the offseason game,but they lost 33-8, and the
eight points came in garbagetime with the backup quarterback
in.
It wasn't even Tua.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Did he get more hate just because of the look he
tries to portray who?
Mike McDaniels?
Yeah, and the ego of which hecarries it.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
I don't know, it's something with his glasses.
I'm with you, he wears thoseshort pants.
He does.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
He wears capri pants, if anybody remembers those
names he wears capri pants onthe sidelines.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
He's got a whole different.
He looks very smug too while hedoes it For somebody that's not
won really anything.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah well, he's smug in the interviews too.
Post game.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, yeah so.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
I do think he gets extra hate, but I could see that
being a hot seat.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
I don't think he's very.
It's not even that they lostthe way they did.
He's just not a very good coach.
There's a million hours of tapeon Daniel Jones and how bad
Daniel Jones is.
He shredded him.
Yeah, Daniel Jones destroyedhim.
He looked like an MVP candidate.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I never seen that before.
This week we're talking right.
They got the Broncos this week.
We'll see if he's any good.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I think the.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Broncos kill him.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
I know it's at home, I agree.
I think the Broncos just I meanthe Broncos didn't look sharp.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, I remember it's almost a home game for them,
right?
The Broncos not that long agohad every Colts fan in America
rooting for them Right, yeah,they still yeah.
When Peyton went there, we lovePeyton, we gotta root for the
Broncos Right.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, the whole thing .
I mean I can't believe they,the Broncos, are not gonna let
Daniel Jones look that good Also, uh, also last year when Tua
went out, they'd have no backup.
They still don't have a backupNow.
I forget who it is.
It's the old Jets guy.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Oh, I know you're talking.
I'm blanking on his name.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
The guy.
That was like dating somebody'smom from the team or whatever.
What was?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
that.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Right, yes, what was his name?
Oh man.
Anyway, that's their backup.
That's who came in and scoredthe touchdown.
Oh really, I cannot believe.
I'm gonna try that.
Wilson, zach Wilson, yes, yes,zach Wilson is the backup.
How do you not get a betterbackup, zach, yours?

Speaker 2 (32:19):
is the exact yours, quinn.
Yours is the third stringerthere.
Ew, I didn't know that hecouldn't even beat that Zach
Wilson.
That's bad.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, so that's my Stay Frosty.
Mike McDaniel, stay Frosty.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
All right, I like that one.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Old man Yells at Cloud.
I'm going to go.
I'll go first.
I'll just roll right into it.
I got an Old man one.
It's not sports related.
I'm giving you two for theprice of one here.
They're tech related theWindows 11 update what an
abysmal update.
All right, matt, I got to askyou how long have you been using

(32:57):
the computer?
When did you start using thecomputer?
Windows 98.
Windows 95.
You're wrong.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
We at our house, growing up, mom got a Hewlett
Packard 95.
That's right we did and we hadWindows 95 on it.
Where was the start button?
Where on the screen bottom left, bottom left corner?
Yeah, it's not great.
Why do they move it to themiddle?
I don't understand.
I work, I work with some olderpeople.

(33:24):
Our parents are older.
I don't need buttons movingaround that have been there for
30 years.
The start button's been in thebottom left corner, 30 plus
years, and all of a sudden,without warning, the Windows 11
update, they move it to themiddle.
Could you not figure out how torestart it?
What do you mean?
No, I know how to move it andrestart it.
I know how to shift it.

(33:44):
I already did it in my workcomputer.
I'm talking work, so work thisweek.
But there were other peoplethat didn't know how to move it.
There were also other peoplethat because you're at work you
have multiple screens calendarthing on the time you can only

(34:06):
do that on your primary window.
Now I don't know why theyswitch that, but on secondary
windows it won't bring up thelittle date calendar thing.
That blew somebody's mind atwork.
I was like, oh, you're clickingon your second window.
You can only do it on the firstwindow and then, like I, I
could tell the person was likewhat yeah, I don't like the
update at all.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
I just give me my old start menu pin to the left uh,
rounded windows as well.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Why does everything have to be rounded?
I don't know if you even noticethat, but the if you don't have
the window maximized, now thecorners are rounded.
It bothers me.
The the aesthetics of it, thelook of it bothers me.
Oh, yeah, uh, yeah, yeah, see,you didn't even notice it.
I noticed, I noticed thedetails.
Yeah, uh, there's somethingwith the taskbar too.
I I can't remember now what thetaskbar one was, but I just, it

(34:48):
just drives me nuts, uh, andthen ai yeah I gotta go in on ai
here.
Ai, the great replacer of ourjobs, or whatever.
They took our jobs, they tookour jams, uh, so I started to
use ai here with the sportsbooksharps.
Yeah, I great image.
I fed in some of our locks andstuff to come up with ai images.

(35:10):
Because I'm not a big art, clipart person.
I can't, I'm not creativeenough to like I know what I
want, but like to sit there anddo it in in clip art and all
that and you know all thesedifferent programs.
I don't, I don't have thatskill.
So I'm like, okay, everybody,I'm going to feed it into AI.
Just, I'll just do two of themishaps.
But it took me way longer thanI thought.

(35:30):
So AI is the great job replacer, the great assister, whatever
it's going to help speed upeverybody's work, whatever One.
We have eight people in thegroup I fed.
Ai are eight locks.
I said I want them spelled outlike this like Uncle John, this
one, uncle Mike, this one, matt,andy, scott, etc.

(35:51):
Right, yeah, couldn't spellBuccaneers, right, it kept
saying Bucca bees, buccalayyears, buckle this, buckle that,
and I would type back to itOkay, everything is right except
Buccaneers is not spelled thatway.
Oh, I noticed I spelled itwrong.
I'll correct that.
And then it would spit the sameimage out, or it would change
the way it spelled it, or itwould screw something else up.
So then I'm like, okay, I can'tokay.

(36:13):
So then I'm like, okay,whatever, I thought I finally
got it right.
Then it started adding in extraones and I and the prompts, I'm
telling you I need eight lineswith eight things, and, and it
doubled Mike's, it put theVikings in there twice.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Why it was a double bet.
We should have doubled that.
We should have doubled it.
Ai knew.
That's how good AI is.
It's just a two-unit play.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
It took like Ethan's and doubled it, but then also
put Scott as Ethan's, so Scottwas listed twice with two
different locks.
It was just screwing it up big,big time.
I couldn't get it to work, so Iended up breaking it down and
only giving it one assignment ata time and it could handle that
, but that's just.
I couldn't believe how muchtime it took me to do that, so I
don't know if I'm going to dothat every week.
I don't have unlimited hours tofeed the ai our locks, but I

(36:56):
did think it was fun.
I like some of the captionsthere's a lot with it.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
It is still very new technology to start using.
It did great on the frostythrone.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, yeah, darby darby gave me some suggestions
for it and I I kept feeding itin.
Now I will say I didn't realizethis chat gt, jet chat, gpt
only does so many images andthen they want some money up
front, yep so payer chat gp.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
We've been using it for the remodel, so tara and I
both are, so we're bothsubscribing to the monthly well,
I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
No, maybe I'll get your login.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Send it over.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
I'll create the images for you cuz I got it and
I wanted to tweak one thing withit and it's like, oh, come back
in 24 hours and I'm like, nope,this is gonna work for me
through we're helping it.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Look at some things to do to the house and we we're
like, well, we're just going topay.
I'm not going to wait untiltomorrow.
We're trying to get thisfigured out.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, all right, yeah , yeah.
So that's just my twocomplaints with technology Cool.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I'll go with my old manuals.
At cloud you alluded to itearlier Fanatics I place my bets
and to open my account, theybought somebody at some point I
can't remember we talked about abet 365 or or something.
So I couldn't get into myaccount and so I emailed them.
They sent me hey, your login'sthis.
I still can't get my account.

(38:15):
It's been three weeks.
I get no support.
All I want is to talk tosomeone.
I just want someone on thephone to say hey, matt, how you
doing, let's walk through thisand get it done.
I need the tech support guy toget on the phone to say hey,
matt, how you doing?
Let's walk through this and getit done.
I need the tech support guy toget on the phone and unlock my
account and get me in there.
So I'm three weeks into collegefootball now without being able
to access the account.
I hear you talk about how theyhave the best odds or minus 110.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
I love fanatics.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
What happens is I'm like, okay, it's fine.
I've been DraftKings, I've beenfan dual, I'll just bet those.
And as soon as I get the minus115 or the minus 118, I'm like
this is ridiculous, I can't betthis.
I got to go do Fanatics and soit has been three weeks.
I haven't actively been onthere every day, right.
But, I can't get any supportand it drives me crazy.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
And I just want to talk to somebody.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I had that problem with Bet ESstool.
Yeah, so my account iscompletely locked they froze
betty espn froze me out.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
I was in the middle of the gambling season, I had
been gambling with it and all ofa sudden I went to log in and
then I couldn't get them to giveme my money back.
I couldn't get a human to tellme why they locked it.
They said they locked it for uh, I forget, like an unknown
reason or whatever, and nobodycould tell me why.
They and they kept apologizing.
That was the thing with thechat people.
They were like, oh, we're sorry, we don't see why that got

(39:27):
locked.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
And then they they'd say they send it up, you unlock
it.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah, they'd say that , oh, I'm sending this ticket up
or whatever, and now getrectified.
No, it never got fixed.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah, so that that is my old man yells at cloud.
Sometimes it's just nice totalk to a human being and got an
email or chat bot, as youalluded to.
So we didn't plan that, butthat tied in perfectly.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Oh my, I'm watching here.
They're trying yet anotherfield goal.
They've missed three fieldgoals in this Thursday night
game.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Oh, there you go.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
That was a 22-yard one and it was close to the
upright, it wasn't right downthe middle.
Wow, this has been kind of astinky Thursday night game, as
we like, hey.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
I'll take it though, because we've got the Packers,
they're up 15.
They're six minutes to go inthe third, and I feel pretty
good about that.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
All right, let's talk some big college games.
This week I got one of thebiggest games Georgia, number
six.
Georgia at number 15, tennesseeTennessee three and a half
point Underdog at home.
Who you got here, matt?

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Well, I know where you're going to go.
I like Tennessee.
I like Tennessee at home.
I don't know that the SEC teamsthat have been the powerhouse
of the SEC for the last 10 yearsare still as powerful as they
once were.
I think a lot of that talent isstarting to bleed out of SEC
country.
I think Tennessee at home.
I think a lot of that talent isstarting to bleed out of SEC
country.
I think Tennessee at home.
By getting the points, I thinkit's going to be a close game,

(40:49):
so go and settle it with a fieldgoal.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
What's that coming down the track?
Okay, Pat.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Pat McAfee loves to sing himself.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
I love.
I was on that before Pat Mac.
I was watching College Game Dayway before when he was still
kicking and drinking andwhatever.
So no, tennessee always losesin this game.
They never win the big big game.
They upset in Alabama every nowand then when Alabama's a
little down, but you don't knowthe team's down.

(41:19):
I don't think Georgia's great.
I don't think they're a six,but I also think Tennessee
doesn't win this game.
I don't think Georgia's great.
I don't think they're a six,but I also think Tennessee
doesn't win this game.
I don't think they cover either.
I think you take Georgia minusthree and a half all day If it
were three, I'd feel different.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
I don't know.
I like the hook.
I feel like it could be a fieldgoal game.
It's on the road, nope.
We'll split the difference onthat one.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Tennessee.
I'll never forget.
They thought they were going tocome up and take over the
horseshoe.
Last year.
Ohio State, all their fans.
They got drilled by Ohio StateTennessee.
I don't like Tennessee.
I don't like them as a Purdueguy.
Purdue and Tennessee, eventhough they're not in the same
conference, we have a weirdrivalry, interesting.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Oh, you didn't know that, I didn't know that, oh
yeah, it goes back to DaltonConnect.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Even before that, when they beat them in the Music
City Bowl or whatever, likeseven years ago or something.
It's been a whole thing.
Yeah, oh yeah.
The Purdue people online liketo remind the Tennessee people
that we own them and they showthe Zach Eaddy block on Connect
a lot and Tennessee people cryabout how it was a foul and it
just well, I mean it was easy,so it probably wasn't.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Oh, there it is.
Whatever the big maple.
Is that what you guys call him?

Speaker 1 (42:30):
he was the big maple because he's from Canada.
Yes, uh, number 18 USF at Miamiminus 17 and a half.
I like Miami this is UncleJohn's lock.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
I know I like Miami a lot.
That is a Uncle John's lock.
I know I like Miami a lot.
That is a lot of points.
That's a lot.
That is a lot of points.
So I actually like John's lockquite a bit.
Sorry, john, I just jinxed it,but I do like your lock.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
I like it.
It's 17 and a half.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
I liked it last week.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
You're talking's lock .
Yeah, you've got to get allover that USF line.
Get them while they're hot.
They're still riding that wavetoo.
That's the other thing.
After you beat Florida, youhave all that momentum.
You've got the confidence inyou.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
I'm a big momentum guy.
Everything's such a fluke.
So I was shocked that that was17.5.
Yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
That was shocking and Jimmy's not that good.
I don't know.
I think Carson Beck's prettygood.
Number 16, texas A&M at number8, notre Dame.
Just to be clear, the wins forA&M this year UTSA, the
Roadrunners and Utah State.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
So I'm going to put Scott on the watch list here.
This could ruin his over forthe year if they lose this game.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Notre Dame.
If Notre Dame gets beat in thisgame, his over is cooked for
the year.
He has them at 10.5.
They've given them two losses.
I don't think Notre Dame's asgood as they were last year.
If Notre Dame wins this game,they've got nothing left on
their schedule.
Their schedule's a bunch ofcupcakes left.
So then this is make or breakfor Scott on his lock of the
year.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
He's over right.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
He's over 10 and a half, I believe was the lock,
and so Notre Dame has two realfootball games all year and
they're in the first three weeksof the season and just so we're
clear, they're coming off a byeweek.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Last week, yeah, I saw that Notre Dame has beat
nobody because they haven't wona game yet this year.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I don't know if either of these teams are really
I'm gonna sprinkle money lineon them on a m yeah, on a m, I'm
gonna do it plus six and a half.
You could just take the plussix and a half.
I might take six and a half.
I probably sprinkle a little onthe money line.
Um, you know, but texas a m,I'm sure we've all seen their
yell leaders, so let's get theyellow leaders ready to go.
Oh boy, if uh I'm not a big.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
If you haven't seen the all leaders, it's cringe fan
.
I'm not a big 12th fan If youhaven't seen the All-Leaders
it's cringe and it's fun.
I'm not a big 12th fan.
So you're taking Notre Dame.
Oh, six and a half is a lot.
I did not like the way NotreDame looked on that first game.
That Sunday night game that wasterrible.
Yeah, they didn't look great.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I had a bet there.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
And so now that one stings a little bit, so I don't
know if I'm ready to jump backon them.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
So what's going to happen is Notre Dame can lose
this game right Start Season 0-2.
But they'll win the next 10games, they're going to be in
the playoffs and they're goingto beat absolutely nobody.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
That'll be disgusting .

Speaker 2 (45:13):
They'll beat absolutely nobody on the way
there and then they'll be in theplayoffs because they're Notre
Dame.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
All right, yeah, I the half.
So much I don't think I can geton Notre Dame either.
This might be a stay-away gamebecause I don't like either team
.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Yeah, I'm going to bet A&M just because I'm
anti-Notre Dame, so hard.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Sometimes the smart money is the stay-away money
when you don't like either team.
That is true.
So I can do that a lot incollege and NFL, not as much.
I always like to bet the NFLgames.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Their next biggest game might be USC at home, I
guess.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Not after USC loses when they travel east.
This weekend I don't know ifyou heard that they haven't won
a game in like 12 years whenthey have to travel to the
eastern time zone.
So Purdue is on upset alert, ohboy.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
I got the Boilermakers upsetting them.
That's not my lock of the week,but I got the boiler makers
winning beating usc straight upon that um?
I just saw it.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Oh, it is 20 and a half, that's fine.
Yikes, that's a big one.
That's 330 kickoff, that's ahungry dogs run faster.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Home, home dog, hungry dog, dog run faster.
They won the team last year.
Yeah, they already beat lastyear's total.
They won two games.
They doubled, they're so muchbetter they're about to triple.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
About to triple, but yeah, at least they're playing
the real game.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
I use like a 48-point favorite over Indiana State
Tell that USC band to keep theirbum bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
bum, bum, bum bum.
Keep that home.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
All right, 3.30.
We'll tune in.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
They don't need any of that in West Lafayette this
weekend.
Just keep that crap at home.
Huh, all right.
Nfl.
I was going to talk about theThursday night game.
This game appears to be over.
It's 17-3 right now.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Oh, he said it, uh-oh , he said it, uh-oh he said it,
we bet it.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
He said it Green Bay minus 3.5.
They're up 14.
It's not looking good, oh he'sdown his bets already.
I'm already writing off mysecond fantasy loss because I
have Jaden Daniels and he doesnot look sharp tonight.
Well, he might get some trashtouchdown late.
I hope so, because I need, weboth like.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Denver here.
Yes, I don't get the.
That's got to be.
Bet so hard on the Denver side.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
I already bet it, Like I don't understand this at
all.
That was almost my lock of theweek.
Yeah, it was almost mine aswell.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
The only.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Thing that made me hesitate a little bit.
Denver didn't look sharp theother day.
Yeah, they didn't.
Tennessee's not a good team,and they did not look sharp
against Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Yeah, they are not a good team Started with a rookie
quarterback.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Right yeah.
The only reason I didn't betthis one is because I bet
against the Colts last week andlost by about 30 on my lock, so
I don't want to touch it as mylock.
Yeah, that's a smart move.
We already kind of talked aboutthis.
Philly at Kansas City.
Kansas City point and a halfunderdog at home Super Bowl
rematch here.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
I like Kansas City in it.
I don't think Philly lookedvery good in week one.
I think Kansas City traveledacross the country.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Blah, blah, blah whatever traveled across the
continents, brazil is sneaky,far away further than you think
they were there a long time.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
They had all the media stuff they were doing
prior now.
Now the time zone.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
It isn't that much different.
I think they're in the sametime zone, but the the time of
travel it's almost the same as aflight to ireland, which
doesn't sound right.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
It doesn't seem right , but yeah, I'm gonna take that
as a bounce back game for pattymahomes and the taylor swifties
all right, yeah, I'm you there,I'm on Kansas City, I'll just
take a money line.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
I don't need to mess with a point and a half Like,
just take them.
And then we got a special.
We're going to do double ladylocks this week.
We got Tampa Bay at Houston onMonday night, houston two and a
half point favorite, and thenthe late night game.
I think it kicks off at 10 or10.30.
Chargers at Vegas.
Vegas three and a half pointunderdogs at home.
Any thoughts on these games?

(49:08):
Matt, tampa was my lock lastweek.
I almost ran it back.
I didn't think Houston lookedthat good.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I'm probably an outsider here.
I don't love the double Mondaynights.
Oh, I love them.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
I don't have kids, I can start watching football at
seven.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
The double, though, is just I don't have kids.
I can start watching footballat 7.
The double, though, is just Idon't know, I'd rather have them
.
I'm also a big footballs onSunday guy, I don't love the
Thursday.
I don't like games to not be onthe day Like the IU plays on
the Friday.
Saturday's college football day.
Sunday is NFL football day.
I don't really like the moving.
But it's like a little treat youonly get it once or twice a

(49:46):
year, I know, but I just andthat could be my old man yells
at cloud.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
But I like, like you said.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
I think there's only three games now and the 4
o'clock's late.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Yeah, 4 o'clock's not going to be that great, so I
guess that's tough.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
So I guess at 4 o'clock.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
You got to go find something to do because there's
only going to be Well theBroncos, so that keeps us busy.
They usually play at that timeslot and I'm happy the Cowboys
play at 1.
I don't love playing at 1, butI love playing, not when the
Broncos are on, so I canactually watch both games.
You get the big TV then yeah,the Cowboys will probably get
the big TV at 1.
I don't know, we'll see If itgets to be out of hand, maybe

(50:21):
it'll get flipped off, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
So who do you have in the game, son?
What do you mean?
Are you taking the Texans?

Speaker 1 (50:28):
Oh, I am taking Tampa Bay plus two and a half.
I'm a Baker believer and Idon't think Houston looks sharp.
They lost their first game so Ididn't like them at all in that
game.
This I waffled back and forth,I don't even know who to pick,
but I wanted to make this mylock of the week, but I didn't.
But I didn't even know who topick, but I'm so sure of the one

(50:52):
that I wanted to go with andlet me.
Okay, I'm going to go to theI'm writing charges now.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
I think I would take the charge to win that game.
I.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
I think I.
I think I did take the ChargersYep, but I didn't end up making
it my lock, but I did take theChargers.
Pete Carroll's sneaky yeah,that's true.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
He is very sneaky.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
They look better their first week than I thought.
So I'm like confused nowbecause I clearly thought it was
going to be.
If you looked at the AFC West,I clearly thought it was going
to be Kansas City, denverChargers in some order in the
top three and very clearly Vegasfourth.
But now I'm a little not sosure.
Geno looked good.

(51:34):
Pete and Geno get together.
It's weird.
It's weird.
Pete's a very good coach, Iagree with that.
So I don't know what to do withthat.
So, yeah, I picked the Chargers, but I didn't love it enough to
make it my lock.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
I like the Chargers as well.
Man, I really wanted to goVegas and just make that my lock
and be like Just really wafflewith it back Because I don't
like you know my thing withChargers and yeah.
I know and Air.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Bear and all them.
I, air bear and all them.
I just there's this, like now,after week one, air bear looked
great and now he's gonna lookterrible against a bad team, a
team that I didn't think wasgonna be that good.
I don't know, we'll see, so Istayed away.
All right, we're gonna run thegambling group locks real quick
that we have.
We don't have many.
We got greg.
He gave us rams minus five anda half of the titans that's

(52:21):
probably good.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Titans aren't good titan good.
Five and a half feels like alot but he's owned too greg's
all right greg you're getting itthis week, rams, I'm riding,
I'm riding too let's do it minusfive and a half.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
The titans stink.
They always stink, they.
They're just dreadful.
They're bad organization.
I like it yeah uh, uncle johngave us usf plus 17 and a half
against miami we already saidthat I like love John's breath
there.
Love it, uncle Mike, john, 2-0,by the way.
So you got to ride.
You got to ride the people thatare 2-0, 3-0, 4-0.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
You got to ride until they miss.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
The podcast rule is we ride them until they miss.
Yeah, even if we don't know ifthat's right, so yeah, and then
uncle mike gave us banglesjaguars, over 49 and a half.
I'll bribe with that, Mike isone and one.
I think I'll bribe with that.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
I would rather take the Bengals here minus three and
a half, but we'll go over, I'lldo that.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
I would rather take neither.
I am not riding with this.
This is a stinky pick.
The Bengals look terrible.
They scored 17 points.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Yeah, they got to get one more I don't like this at
all.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
It's in Duval.
I love Jacksonville, plus threeand a half.
I always think.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Danville's hard because they don't let their
guys play.
They don't actually play in thepreseason so it takes them a
little bit to get warmed up.
Game one get the jitters out, Idon't know.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
I'm not a Bengals believer.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
I'm not believing in the Bengals, so many points I
don't like.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
That's all we have.
That's all the locks that wehave.
That's all we got.
Yeah, I know yours, we got mine, we got yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I can go ahead and I'll givemine here I am going to take in
a bounce back game.
I am taking lions minus sixagainst the bears all the points
that we pointed out earlier.
Caleb williams he's spendingtoo much time worrying.
Did you see the angel reesething?
Oh, did you see the same nailstyle?

Speaker 2 (54:19):
same Nope.
Did you see the Angel Reesething?
I got the same nail stylist.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Same nail tech.
It's called a nail tech.
Sorry, I got that wrong.
They have the same nail tech inChicago.
She gets her nails done in thesame place.
Caleb does Not that there'sanything wrong with getting your
nails done, but when you winlike four games, you're a rookie
here and you start the seasonto season 0 and 1, maybe a

(54:42):
little less focus on your nailsand a little more focus on where
you need to throw that ball.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Everything you do as quarterback 1 and starting NFL
team is going to get criticizedif you don't win games.
It doesn't matter what he does,If he's out at a bowling alley
on a Tuesday and not studyingfilm people are going to be all
over him saying he should bestudying film.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
They should.
They get paid the most, most,they should get the most
scrutiny.
When they win games, they getthe most pats on the backs and
accolades.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
So that's true it comes with it.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
So yeah, yeah no, I I think the bears stink.
They're stinky organization.
That team has no idea whatthey're doing.
I see updates all the time.
They're fighting with the cityof chicago trying to move
soldier field new soldier fieldhere, new soldier field there
like nobody.
That whole organization is amess.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Moving it outside of the city is a huge mistake.
In my mind, it is a hugemistake, but they but.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
But I heard that they're fighting with the city
there.
For the longest time they werefighting with that crazy mayor.
They had lori lightfoot.
She's gone now so maybe theycan.
Yeah, we won't get into her oh,I love her.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
She was one of my all-time mayors.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Oh right, there, I yeah.
If you don't know who she is,you need to just google some of
her quotes there.
This is a family-friendlypodcast and some of her quotes
aren't family friendly so wewon't get into them.
But oh man, she was funny.
Crazy, but funny, all right.
So lines minus six, that's mylock of the week all right, uh,

(56:00):
so my lock of the week.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Alright.
So my lock of the week we'regoing to go a game we haven't
talked about yet.
We kind of talked aboutMichigan.
They lost their head coach,kind of fell off.
My lock is going against theteam that lost their head coach
and I believe their program isgoing back to irrelevancy, like
it was most of our childhood.
I think I'm going to put themin the same bucket as Michigan.
I see your look over here andyou're like wait, who could that
possibly be?

(56:20):
Alabama?
That is going to be Alabama.
That's right.
They have the Wisconsin Badgers, which Wisconsin has been great
.
But I don't have a lot of faithin Kalen DeBoer.
It's not going well for him.
They lost already.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
I put him on the frosty throat.
He was on the no, that was twoweeks ago, yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Well, when they lost the opener.
So Wisconsin's getting 21points.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
So I'm going to take Wisconsin, is it at Alabama it?

Speaker 2 (56:45):
is at Alabama, but I actually think that their
culture right now is toxic downthere.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Yes, when they're losing these games.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Yes, I actually think being a home game is
detrimental.
If Wisconsin can score quickand get up early, that whole fan
base is going to start turningagainst them.
They're already talking abouthis buyout at 70 million.
The guy's only been there ayear.
It's absolutely insane.
My lock is against them.
It's really not even the twoteams on the field, it's really
the SEC versus the Big Ten andthe Big Ten getting 21 points.

(57:12):
I thought Wisconsin was goingto be a lot better.
When your guy from Cincinnatiwent there, luke Fickle, I
thought they were going to be somuch better.
They haven't really done that.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
I see my guy because I live in the Cincinnati area.
Yeah, it's your guy.
I'm not a UC guy, he's an Ohioguy.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
He's an Ohio State.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
I know he's a Cincinnati guy.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
That's your guy, but yeah, so I'm going against Galen
DeBoer.
He, we're going to run him outof town.
Yeah, he was much better outwest in my old hometown, where
nobody cared about collegefootball.
He could have lived atWashington for the next 30 years
and nobody was going to.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
Are you going to?
Okay, so I got to ask this.
So you've taken plus 21.
Plus 21.
Are you going to sprinkle themoney line at all on this?
I am going to Do.
You think there's a world whereWisconsin wins this game?
I am going to do a little bitof money line.
I don't think that there's agreat shot that they win, uh,
but I do think if they get downearly, that fan base is going to

(58:05):
how hostile is that crowd goingto be at halftime if they're
tied or down?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
oh, if they're down it's going to be brutal.
I mean it will be unbearable.
Just, I mean their fans have anunrealistic expectation.
But it goes back to themichigan conversation we have,
like people forget what theywere before saving showed up.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Yes, I get that.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
They were really good prior to us, even though
college football was.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
But like there, was something before we were born.
Yeah, when bear bright wasthere in the 60s.
You know they won early in the90s man, we were born in the 80s
, so yes, way before that.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Well, but they won in the 90s, right, but like most
of the 90s and early 2000s, theydidn't irrelevant they were.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
They didn't matter, I wouldn't have known.
They the their mascot.
In the early 2000s.
They were irrelevant, like younever.
They were never on game day.
Like I grew up, you know wewere in high school, whatever
watching game day on Saturdaysand stuff.
We never, they never talkedabout how they yeah, they
weren't matter.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
So that that's my lock.
I I really waffled on this one,but his 21 points.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Big 10 versus SEC.
Big 10's a better conference,so I'm going to go there and
Saban, I'm sure, will be on gameday talking about how they're
going to win, because you knowhe's a homer.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yeah, no, he is a big homer.
But I mean he has a right to bea homer Well and he's's not
giving away a bunch of cars fromhis car dealerships.
The man owned like 14 cardealerships in Alabama.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
They probably only have 20 in all of Alabama.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Are you kidding me?
And we saw the last two years.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
So crooked Big Ten all the way on the titles and
you know, once they can startpaying people, like the SEC was
for years, it started to reallylevel out, and I mean the big
time has blown by to be honest,I like that one.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
I'll get on that with you.
I don't know if I'll sprinklethe money line.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
I'll do a little.
I'm not a big Wisconsinbeliever.
I've got probably one of thoseDraftKings promo where you get
the risk free bet Risk free.
Alright, they are plus $900.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Well, that's just begging for a little $10.
One mean one of those $10 freebets, boom $90.
Yeah, you get the money back ifyou miss it All right, no sweat
bet.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Yeah, now, what I like to do on those is I like to
take some of those long oddsand if Wisconsin's up in the
second half, you can always cashout too.
That's always an option.
Now, if you put the promo on,you can't, but I do like to do
that.
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
