the past couple of years. 46 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400 We do the prediction show now. 47 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,400 The past couple of years, I've taken my time. 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,400 And I've picked every single game of the NFL season. 49 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,400 That gets you your win totals, that gets you your divisions. 50 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,400 So on and so forth. 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400 This year we're switching it up, right? 52 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,400 Because I will go through all that. 53 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,400 It's taking me like an hour or two to do all the games right. 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,400 And then put it into the thing right. 55 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,400 And put it into the playoffs and so on and so forth. 56 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,400 And who be what, when, why. 57 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,400 And get a symbolic, exact and all the other stuff. 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,400 We're scrapping it this year. 59 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400 We're not doing that this year. 60 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,400 We're gonna do some of my favorite over-unders as far as win totals. 61 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,400 Our suit boilers actor, our awards prediction is gonna be in this topic. 62 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,400 But before we go too far into that, again, this is your host, Justin Jackson. 63

am a little sick at the moment. 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400 But this is one of my favorite shows of the year. 85 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,400 I was not canceling this show. 86 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400 Especially with the recording of the video show. 87 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,400 The YouTube show. 88 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400 Tomorrow, I cannot push this show back. 89 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,400 And I'm a little sick. 90 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,400 I'm not dog sick. 91 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,400 I don't have COVID. 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,400 I can talk. 93 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,400 I can still communicate with you guys. 94 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400 So that's what I'm going to do. 95 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,400 I'm going to communicate with you guys. 96 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,400 But just excuse me if there's a small cough or a little bit of a sneeze. 97 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400 Because I am trying to fight this early. 98 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,400 But so how this segment is going to get done. 99 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Any odds I tell you are brought to you by FanDuel. 100 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,400 So during this segment, during the A block, it's going to be FanDuel. 101 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400 However, no, yeah, no. 102 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400 Everything in this episode is brought to you by FanDuel. 103 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Usually I do ESPN bet for my scores, for my over, for my point spreads. 104 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Picking games in Jack's pack. 105 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,400 Jack's pack will be our B block. 106 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,400 But for our A block and our B block, everything is brought to you by FanDuel. 107 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,400 So they're all FanDuel odds. 108 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,400 Because that's what I was looking at at the time when I made this. 109 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,400 So we have no sponsorship with FanDuel by any means. 110 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Any means, we'll probably rotate through the different sports books. 111 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:37,400 However, this specific episode, all of them are brought by FanDuel. 112 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:44,400 So our first segment in this A block is going to be our over, under season win totals. 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,400 Now this is something that obviously we cannot cash until later in the season. 114 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,400 You know, think, you know, week 16, 17 or 18. 115 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,400 Because either they have already passed the number that, you know, 116 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,400 is there is already passed the number or they are in math and math you can't reach the number. 117 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:11,400 So this is always a fun situation because it leaves room for error. 118 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,400 But it also doesn't hem you in. 119 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,400 So like people do like make playoff bets. 120 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,400 And it's like, ah, because if the NFC is, that's it, AFC is hot one year. 121 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,400 And Houston goes, wins 10 games and they're over an hour and a half. 122 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,400 And they missed the playoffs. 123 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,400 You would have hit the over, but you lose your missed playoff bet. 124 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,400 You lose your make playoff bet rather. 125 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400 So making the playoffs is always one of those things where it's like, ah, 126 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400 I got to have a lot of confidence in that team making the playoffs. 127 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,400 It's got to be like a Kansas City. 128 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,400 It's got to be like, oh man, I'm trying to think who's going to own that division. 129 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,400 Pretty much Kansas City is the only team I can think of off the top of my head that's going to run. 130 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,400 It's Air France. 131 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400 You know, I think it's going to just dominate the division. 132 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400 That's when you put the team to make the playoffs. 133 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,400 But if it's one of those like Chicago with eight and a half wins, nine wins might get you in the NFC, 134 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,400 but it's not a guarantee. 135 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,400 Right. So who knows? 136 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Right. So I kind of stay away from making from miss made playoffs. 137 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,400 I stay away from season long player props because I, for instance, 138 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,400 Justin Jefferson had a hundred yards a game last year and he was severely under 139 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,400 and he missed like six weeks with injury. 140 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400 So I stay away from player props. 141 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Plus those you have to shop around because there is such a big swing in the odds 142 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,400 for different sports books for player props. 143 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,400 There is like point spreads, wins over unders. 144 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,400 Those are usually fairly consistent within, you know, a few points of each other, 145 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,400 within a little juice of each other. 146 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,400 But player props can be massive swings, especially season long player props. 147 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,400 I'm telling you, stay away from those. 148 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:04,400 However, I'm going to give you five win totals that I love in the over unders this year. 149 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400 Now, again, this is brought to you. 150 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,400 These are fan do odd. 151 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,400 So we're going to keep this sheet. 152 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400 We're going to keep this episode, of course. 153 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,400 We're going to come back to this at the end of the season and find out how we did. 154 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,400 But all of these bets will be considered a single unit bet. 155 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,400 Now, what's a single unit bet? 156 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,400 A single unit bet is if you go, let's say that you're, let's say that you gamble 157 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400 and you say, I'm going to bet $10 on this game. 158 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400 That's a unit for you. 159 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:38,400 However, somebody of a higher financial status may say, I'm going to bet $1,000 on this game. 160 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,400 That's a unit for them. 161 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,400 The unit is about what you are comfortable in your wrist. 162 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,400 What is your stereotypical bet? 163 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,400 So let's say you're a hundred dollar better. 164 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,400 Let's say I'm going to bet $100 on this game. 165 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,400 A half unit bet for you would be $50. 166 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,400 A quarter unit bet would be $25. 167 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,400 However, a unit bet would be a hundred. 168 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,400 A two unit bet would be 200. 169 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,400 A three unit bet would be 300. 170 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,400 So on and so forth. 171 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:12,400 So for our over, under, win totals, we will always do them as single unit bets. 172 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,400 So again, if you're a $10 better, you can put $10 on each one of these lines. 173 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,400 If you're a hundred dollar better, a hundred dollar each one of these bets. 174 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,400 If you're a thousand dollar better, you understand, right? 175 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400 And so again, these are single unit bets. 176 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:29,400 Our soup bowl exacta, considering the odds are so long, we'd do that a quarter unit bet. 177 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,400 Our wards also are quarter unit bets. 178 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,400 And then when we go to Jax packs, we go to Jax pack. 179 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Those are single unit bets. 180 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,400 So again, over under, single unit. 181 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Soup bowl exacta, quarter unit. 182 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400 Awards, quarter unit. 183 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,400 Jax pack are four unit bets. 184 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,400 So no half unit bets in this segment. 185 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,400 You see the fools are quarters. 186 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,400 But anyway, let's get right into it. 187 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,400 So again, we're jumping into our over, under season totals. 188 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Now again, this is how many, how many wins each, how many games each team will win this season. 189 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,400 I only picked five. 190 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,400 As you guys know, the Jax pack is five as well. 191 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,400 But I only picked five and I love these five. 192 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,400 So our very first one is the Chicago Bears over eight and a half, which is minus 130. 193 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:29,400 So for those who are not sure what the minus plus or minus means, it's how much money you have to lay down to earn a hundred dollars. 194 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:37,400 So in order for this to hit, in order for this to give you a hundred dollars of new money, you'd have to put a hundred and thirty dollars in. 195 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,400 And so that is how much money you have to do. 196 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,400 It is juiced positively. 197 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,400 So the Bears again, over eight and a half. 198 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,400 I love that win total this year. 199 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,400 I think the Bears are going to be a very good team. 200 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,400 I think Caleb Williams is substantially better than Justin Fields. 201 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,400 I like what Matt Eberfluss is doing on the coaching staff. 202 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,400 The new GM, I believe, is Ryan Pace. 203 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:05,400 He's doing a hell of a job as far as beginning to some of this roster. 204 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,400 This team has DJ Moore. 205 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,400 This team wouldn't got Kenan Allen. 206 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,400 This team has a good tight end. 207 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,400 They are solidifying the defense. 208 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,400 Like the Chicago Bears is a very good roster. 209 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:23,400 And we are in a situation of being in a division where there is no super talented team. 210 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400 I love the Lions this season. 211 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:32,400 But let's be honest, it's not the Green Bay Packers of old where you knew everybody was fighting for second because of Aaron Rodgers. 212 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,400 It's not the AFC East of old where everybody was fighting with second because of Brady and Belichick. 213 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:46,400 It's not even the NFC West where it was like, good God, like you're going to have to battle the Rams and the Seahawks to even breathe for third. 214 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:52,400 Like it's not that it's the Lions are good, but the Lions can be horrible. 215 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,400 The Packers just paid Jordan Love and exorbitant amount of money. 216 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,400 And so they could be rough as well. 217 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,400 Like the NFC North is not a super, super talented division. 218 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,400 And it's a good division, but there's no superstar team in it. 219 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,400 There is no like AFC West with Kansas City right now. 220 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,400 You're playing for second. 221 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,400 Like Patrick Holmes is in that division. 222 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,400 You're playing for second. 223 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,400 So there's no one like that sitting around that division. 224 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,400 So I think Chicago over eight and a half is a great bet. 225 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:29,400 Houston over nine and a half minus 158 on the odds. 226 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,400 Slam this bet. 227 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,400 I love this bet. 228 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:41,400 You took a team that first year head coach, first year quarterback was kind of going through some things, kind of going through an adjustment period. 229 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,400 They come out and they looked great. 230 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400 They ended up winning a playoff game, I believe. 231 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400 And now you add in the Stefan Diggs. 232 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,400 You bring back your Tankdale. 233 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:55,400 This whole team and everything goes through a real all season together. 234 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,400 You add in the talent. 235 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400 Like I said, superstar talent receiver in Stefan Diggs. 236 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,400 You add in a run game. 237 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,400 Like you are looking at a much better, improved team. 238 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,400 And then your division isn't the world beaters. 239 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,400 The coach are not very good. 240 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400 The Jaguars are very inconsistent. 241 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,400 And then you're the Texans. 242 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,400 And then the other team, the AFC South is the Tennessee Titans. 243 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400 You can legitimately play your division and go five and one. 244 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,400 You can win both games over the Colts and the Titans and split with the Jaguars. 245 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,400 They usually have to win five other games and your other 11. 246 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,400 Very easily doable. 247 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,400 The Houston Texans over nine and a half hammer that bet. 248 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:42,400 The Saints under seven and a half plus 100 on the odds hammer that bet. 249 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,400 Look, Derek Carr is a disaster. 250 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,400 And it's not even a Derek Carr problem. 251 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,400 He is not good enough to have a bad defensive head coach as his head coach and be successful. 252 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,400 And Derek Carr and Dennis Allen, they were together in Las Vegas. 253 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,400 Dennis Allen was such a great head coach. 254 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,400 He ended up being fired with that combination. 255 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,400 And before, now they're trying that combination again. 256 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,400 Because both men are older with a lot more experience of losing. 257 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400 Dennis Allen is just not a good head coach. 258 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,400 He's not an NFL head coach. 259 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,400 I don't know if he's a college head coach. 260 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,400 I don't know if that's his niche and he's just tooling away any NFLs. 261 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,400 One of those like I'm here, I'm going to make this work moments. 262 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:31,400 But he is not from what we've seen a NFL head coach, especially long term, especially trying to be successful. 263 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400 We've just never seen it. 264 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,400 We've seen him struggle in a lot of different areas. 265 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,400 We've seen his defense has always been good. 266 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,400 He's been a coordinator. 267 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400 However, we have not seen him be a successful head coach. 268 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,400 The offensive personnel on this team is rough. 269 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,400 They're saying they're in now. 270 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,400 They do have Kubiak as the OC now. 271 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,400 So maybe that kind of helps some of the offense move along. 272 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:59,400 But I'm just looking at that bet at under seven and a half just stands out to me for New Orleans. 273 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Steelers over eight and a half. 274 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,400 Odds are plus 136. 275 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,400 Hammer this bet in Pittsburgh. 276 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,400 Which means in order for this bet to not hit, Mike Tomlinson will have to have his first losing season. 277 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,400 I don't think that's the case. 278 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,400 Now, people talk about the quarterback play. 279 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,400 Everybody talks about Russell Wilson and Justin Fields with the potential of the quarterback play. 280 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:26,400 What I say is Kenny Pickett got nine. 281 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,400 They're better than the Kenny Pickett. 282 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,400 It was those times when he was like the Mason Rudolph of the world. 283 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,400 No, seeing they end up going at least eight and eight, nine and seven. 284 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:43,400 If he can do it with those guys, he can do it with Russell Wilson and or Justin Fields. 285 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,400 I strongly believe in that. 286 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,400 I strongly believe that he ultimately does win nine games this year and keep the streak alive. 287 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,400 And I think the Pittsburgh Steelers go nine and eight actually and move on. 288 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,400 This is nine and a half. 289 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,400 I probably stay away from it. 290 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,400 But eight and a half, I believe Pittsburgh wins nine plus. 291 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:07,400 And so they move on, hammer the Pittsburgh Steelers over eight and a half. 292 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:14,400 And then our final over under win total for the season is Jets under nine and a half plus one thirty two. 293 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:21,400 Look, I know the name recognition on the Jets is palpable. 294 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:33,400 It's sauce Gardner, Aaron Rodgers, Quinn Williams, Garrett Wilson, Breeze Hall. 295 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:41,400 Oh, so I'm back in the case name, but they they have star power everywhere. 296 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,400 And despite all that, they're going to struggle this season. 297 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,400 Aaron Rodgers basically is not playing a competitive football game in two seasons 298 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:57,400 because he played four snaps in the regular season last year before his Achilles pops on him. 299 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,400 So he has not played a football game in basically two years. 300 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:13,400 I I would like to commend the New York Jets because they had an opportunity out of Aaron Rodgers and they took it. 301 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,400 Bar none, cost to the win. 302 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,400 We're going to take it. 303 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,400 And so definitely kudos to the Jets. 304 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,400 However, it just doesn't work all together. 305 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,400 I don't know if there's a disconnect, whether it's clearly the difference in office and defense. 306 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,400 I don't know if it's a disconnect between the quarterback and the head coach, 307 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,400 but it is clearly something off with those two sides. 308 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,400 And therefore, the Jets as a whole to me are going to suffer. 309 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,400 And also, it's just the Jets. 310 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,400 Right. So under nine and a half hammer it for plus one thirty two. 311 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,400 So again, let's run through them one more time. 312 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:59,400 The Chicago Bears over eight and a half Houston Texans over nine and a half Saints under seven and a half Pittsburgh over eight and a half Jets under nine and a half. 313 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:05,400 So again, that are my season long over under win totals. 314 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,400 Now we're going to move into the awards. 315 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,400 So I won't rattle off. 316 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,400 OK, I'll probably rattle the names off. 317 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,400 I won't necessarily get too deep into them, but I'll rattle the name off. 318 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,400 And then after that, we'll have our Super Bowl exacta. 319 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,400 But awards. 320 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,400 So all these have come with plus odds. 321 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,400 And the reason why is it's kind of a long shot to pick a season long award. 322 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,400 September 2nd. 323 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,400 September 2nd. 324 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,400 I first gave the name start to Thursday night. 325 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,400 So it's going again. 326 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,400 It's kind of hard to pick. 327 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,400 You know, it's rather difficult to do an exacta. 328 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,400 Awards pick, you know, it's four months out from the season. 329 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,400 We got so often this season. 330 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,400 But first MVP, I have Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. 331 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400 It comes with plus one thousand odds. 332 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,400 So again, you get great odds on it. 333 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:05,400 But I have MVP being Joe Burrow, offense rookie of the year with I believe my lowest odds on anything. 334 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,400 It's Caleb Williams plus 120. 335 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,400 Again, he's the rookie quarterback for the Chicago Bears. 336 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,400 Almost when Jane Daniels here, I just don't think the commanders are going to win enough games. 337 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:22,400 And if Williams does truly go, you know, nine and nine and eight, ten and seven, 338 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:29,400 it's going to be hard to keep him away from offensive rookie of the year. 339 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,400 Offensive player of the year. 340 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,400 I got San Francisco 49ers running back. 341 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,400 Christian McCaffrey, the madden curse. 342 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,400 He's going to break it. 343 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,400 I know we were about the madden curse. 344 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,400 I who protects me about, you know, fantasy. 345 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,400 Do you pick McCaffrey because of the madden curse? 346 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,400 I just believe in him this year. 347 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,400 I believe in high things, care of his body. 348 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,400 I don't think I think by present, it's not to come right down to earth even more. 349 00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:00,400 So in order for this year to be successful, they're going to have to lean on Christian McCaffrey. 350 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,400 So I've got him as your offensive player of the year. 351 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,400 Defensive player of the year. 352 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,400 Aiden Hutchinson, the defensive end from the Detroit Lions. 353 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,400 I think that has a chance to be a really good defense, 354 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,400 but I think Hutch and that pass runs are going to have to lean spearheaded. 355 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,400 It's either he spearheads it all the way to a defensive player of the year award. 356 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,400 Defensive rookie of the year. 357 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,400 I have Jared verse from the Los Angeles Rams, I believe. 358 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,400 Let's see a charger. 359 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,400 But he's one of the other. 360 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,400 He went to Florida State, very good pass rusher. 361 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,400 Definitely a kid that's going to cause a lot of havoc. 362 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,400 Hutchinson's odds is plus 1,400. 363 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,400 Jared verse's odds is plus 700. 364 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:50,400 Again, this is for the Los Angeles Rams edge rusher to be a defensive rookie of the year. 365 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,400 Comeback player of the year. 366 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,400 I have Kirk Cousins. 367 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,400 I almost went Joe Burrow here, but I don't think you can win. 368 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,400 I'm sorry, Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning set the precedent of not winning 369 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,400 comeback player of the year and they didn't repeat in the same year. 370 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,400 So because I have Burrow winning the MVP, 371 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,400 I've got Kirk Cousins winning the comeback player of the year at plus 430 odds. 372 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,400 Coming off his injury, binging move, changing cities. 373 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,400 I already got players kind of out on him. 374 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,400 And so he wins comeback player of the year. 375 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,400 And then coach of the year, which would be Matt Iroflou. 376 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,400 He has plus 1,000 odds to be coach of the year. 377 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,400 And again, this is kind of leaning back on that Chicago Bear thing. 378 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,400 If they truly do win 10 games, maybe even 11 games, 379 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,400 it's going to be hard to keep Kayla Williams off rookie of the year 380 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,400 and Iroflou off coach of the year. 381 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:48,400 And lastly, but certainly not leads, the Super Bowl exacta, 382 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,400 which is my pick of who makes the Super Bowl and who wins it. 383 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,400 And my pick is the Cincinnati Bengals defeat the Detroit Lions. 384 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,400 The odds on that happening is plus 9,000. 385 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,400 So that is my Super Bowl exacta. 386 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,400 Again, Bengals over Lions. 387 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,400 But up next, we will be shifting to our next segment, 388 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,400 which is the Jacks pack, which is for week one. 389 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:35,400 Welcome back into the show. 390 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,400 And now we're going to talk about our Jacks hot pack. 391 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,400 Our Jacks pack. Sorry. 392 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,400 I confused. 393 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,400 I combined Jacks hot taking Jacks pack, but this is our Jacks pack segment. 394 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,400 Where we pick five games every week based on the point spread. 395 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,400 And we'll keep tracking them throughout the season. 396 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,400 And then we'll see how we did at the end. 397 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,400 So again, if we, if you remember our first segment, we had our win. 398 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,400 Totals were a full unit bet. 399 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,400 Our Super Bowl exacta was a quarter unit bet. 400 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,400 I'm actually going to change our wards to half unit bets, 401 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,400 but the Jacks pack are definitely full unit bets. 402 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,400 Every week. 403 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,400 Now, depending on the juice and so on and so forth, you know, 404 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,400 depending on how close we are to 500, you may end up winning money, 405 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,400 but you be below 500 or lose winning be above 500, 406 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,400 depending on how it's juiced. 407 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,400 But let's get right down into it. 408 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,400 Our first game, those pesky bears, those bears I seem to love so much. 409 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,400 Bears minus four and a half over Tennessee. 410 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,400 Take the bears. 411 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,400 Look, Tennessee, I don't even know what they're doing right now 412 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,400 on the offense side of the ball. 413 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,400 They traded Derrick Henry. 414 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,400 Or they let Derrick Henry walk rather. 415 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,400 I don't know what they're doing at receiver. 416 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,400 They say I have the Andre Hopkins, but okay. 417 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,400 I don't know what they're doing at quarterback. 418 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,400 Their offensive line seems to be doing stuff. 419 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,400 Their defense is mid. 420 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,400 I just don't like what's going on in Tennessee at all. 421 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,400 And Tennessee's on the road in Chicago. 422 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,400 It's Kayla Williams' first game. 423 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,400 In front of the fans, in front of a regular season crowd. 424 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,400 With the regular season jitters, it's a full game for him. 425 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,400 But I just think that they're going to dominate Tennessee physically. 426 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,400 They're going to win this game 27-13, 27-16. 427 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,400 And the Bears easily cover the four and a half against the Tennessee Titans. 428 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,400 My second favorite bet of the week, or my second bet rather of the week, 429 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,400 is Atlanta Falcons minus three against Pittsburgh. 430 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,400 Take the Falcons. 431 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,400 Now this is a game of similarly talented teams. 432 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,400 And I think home field would have decided this either way. 433 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400 Because you get three points for home field. 434 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:56,400 So I think the home field would have decided this either way. 435 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,400 With the Falcons, I do think they're a little bit better than Pittsburgh. 436 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,400 I think Kirk Cousins at this stage and age is a little bit better than Russell Wilson. 437 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,400 I think at this stage and age, the receiver can core splits. 438 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,400 I think there's a better running back tandem in Atlanta than there is in Pittsburgh. 439 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,400 And I definitely think that the defensive talent is better than Atlanta. 440 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,400 And I think early talent's going to win games that maybe Scheme and coaching will later. 441 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,400 But I've got Atlanta winning this game 24-20. 442 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,400 And so they will barely cover the three points spread. 443 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,400 However, they do cover it 24-20. 444 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:40,400 The Minnesota Vikings minus one and a half over the Giants hammer the Vikings. 445 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,400 Even though they're on the road, even though it's Sam Donahue and IJJ McCarthy, it doesn't matter. 446 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,400 The New York Giants are going to be fighting or in the Shadoura Sanders race. 447 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,400 In order to be in the Shadoura Sanders race, you got to lose a lot of football games. 448 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,400 And I am hammering the Minnesota Vikings here. 449 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,400 I just think that coaching is a major advantage in this game. 450 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,400 Not that Brian Dable is a bad coach. Brian Dable is actually a great coach. 451 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,400 I just think that he is at a personnel disadvantage having Daniel Jones. 452 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:15,400 He's also at a coaching staff disadvantage because he and Brian Flores can battle out to a draw. 453 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:21,400 I just think the advantage of the Minnesota Vikings head coach, whose name I cannot think of right now. 454 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,400 I do apologize to him at this current time. 455 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:33,400 I just think that he is such an advantage over the New York Giants. 456 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,400 Kevin O'Connell. Kevin O'Connell is his name. 457 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:44,400 I think you see he's such an advantage over the New York Giants defensive coordinator. 458 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,400 As they are installing a new DC because of course the last DC, Wink Martindale, 459 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,400 got into it with Brian Dable and ultimately left. 460 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,400 So Shane Bowen is in his first year as the New York Giants DC. 461 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,400 He was previously the Tennessee Titans DC for the last three years. 462 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,400 Tennessee has had alright defense. There's nothing crazy. 463 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,400 It's I think we're at a talent deficit the way that the Giants are. 464 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,400 Mixing that with a coaching staff that's looking to prove something between Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores. 465 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,400 I just think they keep the ball out of Sam Donald's hands in bad spots. 466 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,400 They feed Justin Jefferson in good spots and they win this game. 467 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,400 They control it all the way through 20 to 13 Vikings win. 468 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:42,400 49ers. Our fourth game. 49ers minus three and a half over the Jets on Monday Night Football. 469 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,400 It's in San Fran. 470 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,400 I have the Niners winning pretty comfortably in this game. 471 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:56,400 And so minus three and a half feels good against the Jets. 472 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,400 The Niners have one of the best rosters in football. 473 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,400 They had a snafu. They had an incident earlier with this offseason with Brandon Iuke. 474 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,400 It is settled. Now they still are dealing with the Trent Williams case. 475 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,400 Now Trent Williams may miss games. Trent Williams begins to miss games. 476 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,400 This could change how this offense looks of course. Trent Williams is if not the best tackle. 477 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,400 He's easily one of the best left tackles in the game. 478 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,400 So if he is not there that puts an element of uncertainty behind Brock Purdy. 479 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,400 Who knows what that starts to happen. 480 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,400 It also takes away a dominant lineman from you. 481 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,400 So if he misses the game this could change a little bit. 482 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,400 But assuming he plays the Niners should crush the Jets. 483 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,400 I think Hufanga is back or he's close to being back. 484 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,400 I just don't believe in the Jets offensively. 485 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,400 I don't believe Ramasala is a head coach. 486 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,400 One thing I don't want to mess with the Niners early. 487 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,400 The Niners at home. And then I ask for something to prove. 488 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400 And right now all three of those things are true. 489 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:03,400 And so I think they roll over the Jets 30 to 17. 490 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:09,400 And then lastly there's on the Cardinals on the road plus five and a half against the Bills. 491 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,400 And I think the Cardinals look I think the Bills are going to have struggles on offense. 492 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,400 And you're at a point in the season where weather wise you're not a major advantage being a Buffalo. 493 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:25,400 It's not like it's you know November December and we're shoveling out piles and piles of snow off a snowbank. 494 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,400 We're in a pretty fairly calm part of the year. 495 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,400 Where even if it's precipitation it's like 60 65 degree rain. 496 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,400 So there's no real advantage as far as weather. 497 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,400 And then you're looking at again the fact that it's week one. 498 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,400 And then you're also adding in the fact that the Bills are trying to work in receivers. 499 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,400 Again there's no Stefan Diggs in there for the first time in Josh Allen's real career. 500 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,400 There's no Stefan Diggs there. 501 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,400 You're looking at they lost Gabe Davis as well. 502 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,400 So they're working in new receivers. 503 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,400 New scheme. 504 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,400 You know they're trying to get stuff together trying to figure it out. 505 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,400 And I think Arizona year two of the system in that situation. 506 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,400 They've been adding talent to Kyler. 507 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,400 They got more of a Hayes Jr. 508 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400 They may not win the game all right. 509 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,400 But this is going to be a kicker field going in to win it kind of situation. 510 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,400 But I think the Bills still do win the game all right. 511 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,400 However I got Arizona fighting them tooth and nail until the very end. 512 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,400 So just to recap it's Bears minus four and a half over the Titans. 513 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,400 Falcons minus three over Pittsburgh. 514 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,400 Minnesota minus one and a half over the Giants. 515 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,400 Niners minus three and a half over the Jets. 516 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,400 And Cardinals plus five and a half over the Bills. 517 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,400 But up next we're going to shift to the WNBA and talk about what's going down there. 518 00:30:38,400 --> 00:31:05,400 Welcome back into the show. 519 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,400 Now we're moving away from the NFL. 520 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:13,400 We're going to go into the WNBA as they are barreling towards their playoffs. 521 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,400 We should be in the WNBA playoffs in the next couple of weeks. 522 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,400 We'll be talking about matchups, who plays what, my predictions. 523 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,400 Excuse me all that good stuff as we get closer to the playoffs. 524 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,400 But as of now we're going to talk about what is happening around the league. 525 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,400 As we've done the past couple of weeks we're going to start off with the standings. 526 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,400 Number one seed is the New York Liberty. 527 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,400 Baller by the Connecticut Sun. 528 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,400 Two and a half back from them. 529 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,400 Minnesota Lynx a half game back from them. 530 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,400 And then there's a gap. 531 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,400 The Las Vegas Aces are currently holding down fourth. 532 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,400 Three and a half games back from the Lynx. 533 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,400 The Storm are one game back from the Aces. 534 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,400 Then there's another gap. 535 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:57,400 Then the Fever for the first time in five years or over 500. 536 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,400 They are two and a half games back from the Storm. 537 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,400 The Mercury are a game back from them. 538 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,400 Then there's another gap. 539 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,400 With the Chicago Sky currently via tiebreaker. 540 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,400 Holding down the eighth position. 541 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Four and a half back from the Mercury. 542 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:21,400 Now the reason why I say via tiebreaker is the Atlanta Dream are currently tied with the Chicago Sky based on the record. 543 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,400 But the Sky currently have the tiebreaker. 544 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,400 Now the Sky had a sizable league in the playoffs. 545 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,400 They are on all the teams out of the playoffs. 546 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,400 They have lost six straight. 547 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,400 They have won two of their last ten. 548 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,400 The Olympic break probably was the worst thing for them. 549 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,400 Indiana came out of the Olympic break firing. 550 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,400 The Sky came out of the Olympic break squandering. 551 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,400 And they showed in the standings. 552 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,400 But anyway. 553 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,400 The Washington Mystics are two games back from the Dream and Sky. 554 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,400 The Dallas Wings are also two games back from the Dream and Sky. 555 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,400 And the Los Angeles Sparks are four games back from the Dream and the Sky. 556 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,400 So huge, huge looking at the standings. 557 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,400 If it ends right now, the season ended today. 558 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,400 We'd have Liberty Sky first round. 559 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400 We'd have Sun Mercury first round. 560 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,400 We'd have Lynx Fever first round. 561 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,400 We'd have Aces Storm first round. 562 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,400 A whole lot of intriguing first round matchups. 563 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,400 With the WNBA talent wise being so close. 564 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,400 I think any of the top five could win the championship. 565 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,400 You know preseason I had the Asians running away and hiding with it. 566 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,400 Then Chelsea Gray came in hobbling. 567 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,400 We had Kelsey Plumb dealing with what she had to deal with in the offseason. 568 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,400 It's hard to win the championship. 569 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,400 It's really, really hard to win two in a row. 570 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,400 It's damn impossible to win three in a row. 571 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,400 And so it's so much happening. 572 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,400 Then it popped up you had the D'Arca Hanby stuff. 573 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,400 Happened with the Aces. 574 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,400 So it was a lot of different things going on with Vegas this season. 575 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,400 If I had to pick right now, I'd still pick them to win the WNBA title. 576 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,400 All of that notwithstanding. 577 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,400 I'd still pick them to host their third consecutive trophy. 578 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:06,400 But it's not nearly the shoe end that I had it entering the season. 579 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:15,400 Because again right now like I was saying any of the top five in my opinion can win the title. 580 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400 Which is the New York Liberty. 581 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,400 Who pretty much would have won the title the past couple of years if it wasn't for the Aces. 582 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,400 The Connecticut Sun. 583 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,400 Who would have had a real shot at the title if it wasn't for the Aces. 584 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,400 The Minnesota Lynx who won the Commissions Cup. 585 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,400 The Las Vegas Aces of course who just signed the Fendi match champion. 586 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,400 And the big three in Seattle. 587 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,400 With Skyler Dickensmith, Nneka, Goumakai and Jewel Lloyd. 588 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,400 Amongst others in Seattle. 589 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,400 So I think any of those six can win the title. 590 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,400 I think the Fever can make a bunch of noise. 591 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,400 I think the Mercury could win a round. 592 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,400 I think if Diana Taurasi and Khalia Copper and Brittany Griner have just one little Syria. 593 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,400 I think they could win a round. 594 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,400 I think Chicago if they make it get swept. 595 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,400 I think Washington if they make it get swept. 596 00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,400 And Atlanta. 597 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,400 I think whoever plays the Liberty is going to be gone in a sweep. 598 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,400 I think Indiana could take a game off Minnesota. 599 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,400 One of those Katelyn Clark hits seven threes. 600 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,400 Kelsey Mitchell gets you four five threes. 601 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,400 Aliyah Boston gets you 18 efficient around the rim. 602 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,400 And there's an off night in Minnesota. 603 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,400 I think that the Fever could get you a game. 604 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,400 So that's kind of how I'm looking at the standings. 605 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,400 I'm excited for this playoffs. 606 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,400 You know it's going to be a real playoff. 607 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,400 I don't know how it's going to work with the DirecTV stuff. 608 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,400 My main service, my main cable provider is DirecTV. 609 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,400 So considering I think the WNBA is going to be on ESPN networks. 610 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,400 I'm not sure how that's going to work. 611 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,400 But hopefully it gets rectified. 612 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,400 Like for instance tonight I can't watch the game tonight. 613 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,400 The Florida State Boston College game. 614 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,400 That's an ESPN game. 615 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,400 And that has nothing to do with the WNBA but that just hit me. 616 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,400 A lot of these games that are coming down the stretch are going to be ESPN games. 617 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,400 And I think the WNBA has the ESPN contract. 618 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,400 That's going to make my playoff watching interesting. 619 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,400 But I'll find a way to watch it. 620 00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,400 Don't worry people. 621 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,400 If you want to send me some links or helps let me know. 622 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,400 But I will find a way to watch it for sure. 623 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,400 But anyway it's going to be very interesting playoffs. 624 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:17,400 There is a slew and I do mean an absolute slew of interesting storylines and matchups 625 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400 in this WNBA playoff. 626 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,400 And I cannot wait for it. 627 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,400 But anyway so we're going to start off with our quick hitters for the WNBA. 628 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,400 We're going to start off with Asia Wilson and the MVP look. 629 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,400 I know and I'm recording this on Monday around 5ish. 630 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:44,400 I know that Stephen A Smith got on the airwaves and stated that 631 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,400 Hey, Katelyn Clark is going to be in the Rookie of the Year and she's probably the MVP discussion. 632 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,400 That's the part I had a problem with. 633 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,400 I'll get to the Rookie of the Year in a second. 634 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,400 The MVP discussion part is what I had a problem with. 635 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,400 There is no discussion. 636 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,400 Well, no, okay, no, that's not true. 637 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,400 That's not true. 638 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,400 That's not true. 639 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,400 That's not true. 640 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,400 There is discussion. 641 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,400 It's whether Asia Wilson wins unanimously or not. 642 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,400 That's the only discussion. 643 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,400 That's the only discussion. 644 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:21,400 I'm allowing anyone to have Asia was currently averaging 27 and a half 12 rebounds, 645 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:28,400 2.4 assists, two steals and effectively three blocks a game on 53 percent shooting, 646 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,400 including 86 percent from the free throw line. 647 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,400 She's doing 34 minutes a night. 648 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,400 Remember the WNBA has 40 minute games. 649 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,400 She's in there for minutes tonight. 650 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,400 Let's just go to her stats. 651 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,400 Let's just go to her stats. 652 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,400 And I want to pull up. 653 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,400 Hold on one second. 654 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,400 This is on me. 655 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,400 I should have had this queued up. 656 00:37:53,400 --> 00:38:03,400 And we talked about it on the video show last week where she's ranking as far as 657 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,400 throughout the league this season. 658 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:12,400 All right, so Asia Wilson is number one in points per game at 27 and a half. 659 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,400 The nearest person to her is Enrique Dumboale at 22.7. 660 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,400 She's not going to be on the search threes. 661 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:28,400 Asia Wilson is second in rebounding behind Angel Reese at 13.1. 662 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,400 However, Asia Wilson is two full rebounds clear of third and of Derek Ahamby and 663 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,400 Nafisa Carrier who are both tied in third. 664 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,400 Asia Wilson has 2.7 blocks. 665 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:47,400 She's a clear half block above Easy Mag Beggar of the Seattle Storm. 666 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,400 I apologize for that pronunciation. 667 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,400 Asia Wilson is tied for third in steals with Nafisa Carrier. 668 00:38:54,400 --> 00:39:00,400 She's 0.1 steals behind Nneka Gumike and 0.5 steals behind Enrique Dumboale for the 669 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,400 steal advantage. 670 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,400 So she is number one in scoring, number two in rebounding, number one in blocks, 671 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,400 and number four in steals. 672 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,400 It's not a conversation of who the MVP is. 673 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:17,400 It's whether Asia Wilson runs away and hides with it unanimously. 674 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,400 There's no conversation. 675 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,400 So when he says, she's going to be an MVP conversation, there is no conversation. 676 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,400 There's a conversation of who's going to ultimately finish second, third, fourth, 677 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,400 and fifth. 678 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,400 But as far as who's going to win it, we're not having that discussion. 679 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,400 I refuse to have that discussion. 680 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,400 It's Asia Wilson, and it's not even close. 681 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,400 She's going to be an MVP. 682 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,400 She came in on the tear. 683 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,400 She came in on an angry tear from not winning the MVP last year. 684 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,400 And so she will run out to prove, I'm better than all y'all. 685 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:51,400 And she went out without a shadow of a doubt, and she proved it this season. 686 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:59,400 So kudos to Asia Wilson for what she is doing on the court this season. 687 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,400 Points had to be proved. 688 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,400 She proved it. 689 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,400 She's still proving it as we speak. 690 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,400 I mean, she is just the best player of the WNBA. 691 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:13,400 It's actually wild. 692 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:19,400 It's actually wild that if I told you who's the best player of the WNBA, 693 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,400 you say Asia Wilson. 694 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,400 If I told you who's second, you'd probably say Breanna Stewart. 695 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:30,400 But the gap between Asia Wilson and Breanna Stewart is massive. 696 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,400 We saw that in the Olympics. 697 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:42,400 Team USA had, in the Olympics, 12 of the best 15 players from what I saw. 698 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,400 Even Meesaman is probably better than Diana Taurasi at this point. 699 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,400 Gabby Williams is probably better than Diana Taurasi at this point. 700 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,400 And there's one more player, I can't think of her name, 701 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,400 but she's probably better than Diana Taurasi at this point. 702 00:40:53,400 --> 00:41:00,400 Other than that, everybody on Team USA was better than everybody else. 703 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,400 The Team USA ladies had one close game, 704 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,400 and that's when Asia Wilson got beat up by France and didn't call a foul, 705 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,400 and she had a rough night. 706 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,400 That's it. 707 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,400 She was that much of a tip. 708 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,400 Now think about it. 709 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,400 11 of the 12 players are still better than everybody else on France 710 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,400 but Gabby Williams. 711 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,400 And Asia had an off night, so the whole team was off. 712 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,400 Anytime they got stuck, Asia went off. 713 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,400 She was the best player for Team USA. 714 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,400 It wasn't close, and she easily proved who she is, what she is, 715 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,400 which is the best player on the planet. 716 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,400 Like I said, this gap is enormous. 717 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,400 This is Shaq 2000, 2001. 718 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,400 This is LeBron 2016. 719 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:41,400 This is Michael Jordan 1990, 1991. 720 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:49,400 The gap between who's first and everybody else is astronomical. 721 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,400 This is Patrick Mahomes today. 722 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,400 This is Wayne Gretzky in his prime. 723 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,400 There is no second. 724 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,400 She's so far won. 725 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,400 She's so A1. 726 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,400 There is no second. 727 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,400 There is no discussion. 728 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,400 She's the MVP. 729 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,400 Like I said, it's a matter of whether it's unanimous or not. 730 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,400 But, however, speaking of those rookies, speaking of Kaylin Clark, 731 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:17,400 speaking of Angel Reese, they are setting league records as rookies. 732 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,400 Now, we spoke about it before how this rookie class has such momentum 733 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,400 coming in from the college game, and they needed to take advantage of that 734 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,400 by being good. 735 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,400 I didn't say they had to be world beaters by being good. 736 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,400 If they had marginal improvement on both teams, they put up some stats, 737 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,400 they set a rookie record or two, perfect, they done their job. 738 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,400 And they had exciting play. Angel had a big block maybe in the end, 739 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,400 one high lay, Kaylin had a couple of those bomb threes, 740 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,400 but overall played like rookies. 741 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:49,400 Both Kaylin Clark and Angel Reese are top 25 players in the WNBA right now. 742 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,400 Why can you say that? 743 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,400 Angel Reese is the best rebounder in WNBA history. 744 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,400 Think I'm lying? 745 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,400 She just broke the rebounding record. 746 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,400 For a single season rebounding in a season from Sylvia Files, 747 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,400 she broke it with about six, seven games to spare, 748 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,400 and there's a legitimate chance she goes over 500. 749 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,400 The previous record was full four. 750 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,400 She's the double-double queen in a single season, 751 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,400 so she's going to near, she's going to take that over. 752 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,400 She's coming up for the 20-10 crown. 753 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,400 Like, what she's doing is astronomical. 754 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,400 Could she be more efficient? Yes. 755 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,400 And I think that's due to the fact that she hasn't learned the kickout yet. 756 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,400 She's not trusting the kickouts. 757 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,400 She gets through the round and she's just going up. 758 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,400 Because in the college game, she was getting a lot of those foul calls. 759 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,400 In the W, she's not getting it. 760 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,400 She hasn't adjusted to the fact that I'm not going to get that call, 761 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,400 or I'm not just bigger and stronger than the other ladies on the court. 762 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,400 But even if you do hit me, it's all good. 763 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,400 I'm going through it anyway. 764 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,400 So she hasn't adjusted to that. 765 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,400 So her field goal percentage is pool trash. 766 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,400 However, her effort is undeniable. 767 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,400 Even if you take out rebounding her own misses, 768 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,400 she's still the best rebounder in the game. 769 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,400 I mean, what she is doing is historic. 770 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,400 We've never seen it, right? 771 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,400 Conversely, Kaitlyn Clark's on the other side. 772 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,400 She has the most three-pointers made in the season by a rookie. 773 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,400 She is coming for the assist crown. 774 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:16,400 She's also putting up historic numbers that we've never seen in the W as well. 775 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,400 And her team improvement is massive. 776 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,400 I mean, they were the number one pick for a reason. 777 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,400 Now this is the first time it's 2018, they've been over 500. 778 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,400 Is it all Kaitlyn Clark? No. 779 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,400 They have Nellisa Smith. They have Kelsey Mitchell. 780 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,400 They have Aliyah Boston. 781 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,400 But is that doing a large part to Kaitlyn Clark? Absolutely. 782 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,400 So kudos to her. Congratulations to her. 783 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,400 As her team is going to be firmly in the playoffs, 784 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,400 Angel Reyes is still fighting for trying to get the sky in. 785 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,400 And the sky did no favors by trading away their best shooter, 786 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,400 Emory and Amabry, for a point guard that they obviously didn't need that much. 787 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,400 I think her and Camila Cadoso are going to be dominant next year. 788 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,400 I think they're going to get them a wing in the draft, 789 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,400 someone who can score the ball. 790 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,400 And that would be interesting to watch in the college season to find out who that wing would be. 791 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,400 But they're going to need somebody, they're going to need a wing to score the ball. 792 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,400 This is a Juju Watkins draft. That would be perfect. 793 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,400 Somebody that I can come in and get a bucket. 794 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,400 Kennedy Carter is a bucket, but she's kind of small. 795 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,400 They need a wing that can do that. 796 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,400 They got a point guard, they got Kennedy Carter. 797 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,400 So now they need to get a wing to go with Angel Reyes and Camila Cadoso. 798 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,400 And then they can go from there. 799 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,400 But I think that the Rookie of the Year race is over. 800 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,400 I think it's Kailyn Clarks. 801 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,400 I fought a lot for co-Rookie of the Year. 802 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,400 And I still, it wouldn't upset me if there's co-Rookie of the Year. 803 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,400 Because of the league-wide historic stuff that Angel Reyes is doing, 804 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,400 it would not upset me if it is co-Rookie of the Year. 805 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,400 But I think it is Kailyn Clarks' full-blown Rookie of the Year to lose at this point. 806 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,400 And I don't see a path where she would lose it. 807 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,400 Up next, we're going to talk about Jack's hot take, 808 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,400 which is a discussion of college football is back. 809 00:45:54,400 --> 00:46:18,400 Welcome back into the show. 810 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,400 And now we're going to talk about college football being back. 811 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,400 I'm going to watch it, guys. 812 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,400 If you help me watch it, shout out my brother. 813 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:31,400 But Florida State and Boston College is wrapping up week one as we speak. 814 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:37,400 As the Seminoles just spiked the burning arrow into the field, we are back. 815 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,400 College football is officially wrapping up week one. 816 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:47,400 And it was highlighted last night, of course, by LSU-USC. 817 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,400 And I'm a huge LSU fan. 818 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,400 I probably talk about LSU every single week. 819 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,400 I'm a huge LSU fan. 820 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,400 Last night was frustrating. 821 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,400 And Brian Kelly beating the table and making the water bottle jump 822 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:08,400 was very appropriate to how all of LSU pretty much felt. 823 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,400 You know, and the SEC had a frustrating weekend in general. 824 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,400 Texas had him lose to the Reims. 825 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,400 Vandy won. 826 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,400 Shout out Vandy. 827 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,400 You know, all those kind of showcase games for the SEC was four of them. 828 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,400 We went one and three. 829 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,400 Oh, Florida gets dog walked by Miami. 830 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,400 Shout out Coach Guidry. 831 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,400 Worked under him at Southeastern. 832 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,400 Shout out him. 833 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,400 And then LSU loses a heartbreaker to USC. 834 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,400 LSU controlled the game most of the game. 835 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:40,400 At no point in that game could you have told me that LSU was going to lose it. 836 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,400 I wouldn't have believed you. 837 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,400 We controlled the run game. 838 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,400 We ran the ball better. 839 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:52,400 USC had a couple of big pop plays with Zachariah Branson coming up there to speed, 840 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,400 but there was nothing that threatened us. 841 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,400 It was one of those, like, you kept waiting on the offense. 842 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,400 And then you kept waiting on the offense. 843 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,400 And then you kept waiting on the offense. 844 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,400 And then you kept waiting on the offense. 845 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,400 And at a certain point you realize the offense is never going to come. 846 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:12,400 So that was incredibly frustrating to be kind. 847 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,400 You're just sitting there waiting on the offense and waiting on the offense and waiting on the offense. 848 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,400 And again, the offense never came. 849 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,400 So that was incredibly frustrating. 850 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,400 And it was a game that for the fifth straight time LSU lost, which was a season opener. 851 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,400 Two Florida State games. 852 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,400 I mean, the LSU had lost season. 853 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,400 Oh, geez. 854 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,400 LSU has not won a season opener since 2019. 855 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:42,400 Again, to say it's frustrating would be kind. 856 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,400 And it is something that I think that LSU has to clean up. 857 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,400 Next year they go to Clemson. 858 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,400 It's not even a neutral side situation. 859 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,400 They go to Clemson next year. 860 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,400 And Clemson's got their own issues. 861 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:58,400 They got absolutely punched in the face by Georgia. 862 00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,400 You guys realize that. 863 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,400 People were not giving Georgia, people were not giving the SEC credit for Georgia. 864 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:07,400 Because it was my own in the four showcase games, LSU won three with only Vandy winning. 865 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,400 Like Georgia won. 866 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:14,400 Georgia dog walked Clemson, especially in that second half. 867 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,400 But, you know, Clemson's going through their own problems. 868 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,400 I think Dabbo Sweeney, the game was passed him by. 869 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,400 He doesn't believe in I.L. 870 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,400 He doesn't believe in the transfer portal. 871 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,400 I don't know how he expects to win football games. 872 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:34,400 That's pretty much the culture of today's college football, of college sports, especially at the major level. 873 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,400 The transfer portal and the I.L. 874 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,400 I'm not sure how he expects to win otherwise. 875 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,400 But I'm sure he has a plan. 876 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,400 I'm sure he has some sort of goal, I guess. 877 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,400 He wants to keep recruiting freshmen. 878 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:49,400 I don't know. 879 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,400 But clearly the game is passing him by. 880 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,400 I think his run at Clemson's over. 881 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,400 But back to LSU, it was just a frustrating game. 882 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,400 The defense with Blake Baker as the new coordinator played incredibly well. 883 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:13,400 They held a Lincoln-Riley offense to 27 total, but truly, truly, in my opinion, it was 20 points when it mattered. 884 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,400 I mean, huge defensive performance. 885 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,400 I mean, we had this kind of defense last year. 886 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:23,400 LSU's probably the reigning national champion with the offense they had last year. 887 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,400 So that was an encouraging sign. 888 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,400 Frustrating to start off 0-1. 889 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,400 Now, they've got three layups before they play Ole Miss. 890 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:35,400 So that'll be 3-1, probably number 17, 18 in the country when they play Ole Miss. 891 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,400 But again, a frustrating game all the way around. 892 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:43,400 Missing Chris Hilton was important because the deep threat wasn't there. 893 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,400 But again, LSU should have been able to physically move USC. 894 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,400 John Emory had the most success running the ball. 895 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,400 Shout out to him. 896 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,400 He had the most success running the ball. 897 00:50:52,400 --> 00:51:00,400 Not having a quarterback run threat was huge, especially in short yards where instead of it being kind of a zone read, it was traditional zone. 898 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:06,400 And USC just pinched down on it, which is something that we're going to see a lot of people do to LSU this season. 899 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,400 But kudos to USC on a hard far win. 900 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,400 That would have been a hot seat kind of game if Lincoln-Riley lost it. 901 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,400 Kind of wondering, are they ever going to compete? 902 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,400 Especially because they go into the Big Ten this year. 903 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,400 You know, they have games at Ann Arbor. 904 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:23,400 They have some big sight games this year in the Big Ten. 905 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,400 So they're going to have to prove themselves when they get there. 906 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,400 But all in all, week one is usually a quiet week. 907 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,400 There's a few showcase style games in week one and two. 908 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,400 And then pretty much everybody takes week three and four off, as I call it. 909 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:41,400 They schedule Panera Bread State, Western, Southern Tech. 910 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:47,400 They just start scheduling people to kind of ease their way, especially if conference comes early. 911 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:53,400 These bigger conferences with nine conference games, they kind of ease their way into conference with an easier win. 912 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,400 Kind of a clean up kind of game. 913 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,400 And then they go into conference play. 914 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,400 But we'll be back to touch on that for sure. 915 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:06,400 But that is all I have for today. 916 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,400 I hope you guys have a great rest of your day. 917 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,400 I hope you guys have a great rest of your week. 918 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,400 Prayfully, you'll see me on the audio show. 919 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,400 I mean, on the video show. 920 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,400 So rather than later on the YouTube show, we've been having a ton of technical issues with that. 921 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,400 We're trying to get that situated, trying to get that fixed. 922 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:28,400 But definitely continue to follow, continue to like, rate
