Episode Overview

This episode is a classic example of the chaos that makes Barstool Pick Em a cult favorite: sharp betting talk interwoven with the crew’s personal conflicts, gambling-related ribbing, and unfiltered banter. Rico Bosco’s emotional spiral over a questioned wager sets the tone before the show delves into the season’s biggest wins, losses, and beefs inside the Barstool office—culminating with potentially $100,000 on the line and furious accusations over a missed early cashout.

Tangents and Barstool Office Drama

[16:06 – 24:42]

  • The gang roasts producer Jackie for skipping NFL Week 2 (and his gambling obligations) to attend Oktoberfest in Germany.
  • Dave blames Jackie for missing an $80,000 voided parlay (due to an injury situation and a missed DraftKings cashout), a running joke that balloons to $100K.
  • Quote:
    • "You owe me probably $75, $80 grand, Jack. You honestly do...because the kicker came in." – Dave [21:45]
    • "Jackie's taking vacation in fucking week two of the NFL season because somebody in Chicago had a great opportunity. What a joke this league is." – Dave [23:41]

  • Quote:
    • "It took him 15 minutes to drink it. He was puking. Fake puking. Possibly. Some were saying, not me." – Ev [09:18]
    • "I hate milk." – Rico [10:29]

  • Quote:
    • "If you have a daughter, you want her to date the star football player, not a wiggle dicker." – Dave [41:07]

• Oregon vs. Penn State (“Duckies” vs “State Penn,” and Ridership Wars):

  • Big Cat: Notre Dame-Arkansas over 64.5

Episode Tone & Style

True to Pick Em form, the hosts combine irreverence, relentless teasing, and real betting insight. The show’s tone is fast, combative, and self-effacing, with moments of office-family sincerity buried under layers of roast humor. Gambling talk is king, but almost equal time is given to the shenanigans and minor betrayals around the Barstool office.

[B]

All right, boys. Week five updated standings. Dave, you are at first place, 57%. I'm in second place, 53%. Rico, you're in third place, 41%. Bob Diako, I'm four. No, Zupi and Evo, three and one. Hank and Jack and Rico are two and two. And Dave, you're one in three and I guess we should.

[D]

Mystical anomaly that I'm doing so good in my major picks and I. Yeah, I thought it was Memphis last week, but apparently I took Illinois also.

[B]

Credit to you ever since the pick sanctions came on, I think you went from like last place to first place, so good job on that.

[D]

You were 1911 last week.

[B]

Yeah, I know. I. The week before when the sanctions came down, I had like my worst week because I couldn't. I couldn't add anything, but that's okay. That's. You know, listen, if you want to have an asterisk on that, on this trophy over here, that's fine. Credit to Rico, by the way. Let's start with that. Florida State over 20 and a half. Second half. What a bet.

[D]

No one.

[B]

Well, who does that? What a bet.

[D]

No, I mean, the other side is. There's just no way he could have lost that bet in any fashion, any form, any quarter, any half. Because Florida State killed him. So it didn't really prove anything, but, like, he was just right to take Florida State in that game.

[B]

Every.

[A]

I agree, actually. Ev had a good line. He goes. You took the hardest route to get there.

[E]

I don't think your mic's on, Rico.

[A]

It's not.

[D]

Sounds like it is to me.

[A]

Zupy tested it.

[B]

Is it his mic?

[E]

Is it the mic or just the computer mic?

[D]

Can you guys not hear?

[A]

It's his computer mic.

[B]

Yeah, it's your computer mic, Rico, not your actual.

[E]

He was having hard times with the wires before the show to get his mic to pop up.

[A]

All right, so what are we doing?

[B]

Oh, you're fine. I didn't realize we got wire problems, Rico.

[A]

Yeah, it's. Whatever. Wait, so, Zoobie, am I. Am I coming through?

[B]

You're coming through, but you just. You look silly because you're talking into.

[A]

Something, all right, so. All right, fair enough.

[E]

That's my battery.

[A]

All right. Is what it is.

[B]

It's a bad rider these days.

[A]

We're gonna get to him. We're gonna get to him.

[B]

I know.

[A]

We're gonna get to him.

[B]

We're gonna get to it.

[D]

I have no idea what's coming. Why?

[A]

We'll see, Dave.

[B]

We'll.

[A]

We'll see. We'll get to it. But also.

[B]

Also, no one even knows who Hank is. I signed, right?

[A]

I side with 20. 28 to 1, boys.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Did you.

[D]

You didn't bet it, though, did you?

[A]

Yes, I did.

[B]

Yes, I did. Let's see the. Let's see the slip, because I'll tell you right now, I didn't bet it.

[D]

Because I didn't bet it.

[B]

You. For. You forced the pick out of me.

[D]

I didn't even think about betting it.

[B]

Same Dave. He. He literally forced the pick out of me as I was standing up to go do something. I didn't even think for a second to bet it. That's good.

[A]

He's forcing winners out of who.

[B]

Who.

[D]

Who had the. Who had the. Tulsa. Me.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Great pick.

[B]

Great pick.

[D]

And Memphis was six and a half. That was a good pick. Yeah, and yours was like, two.

[A]

Arizona State. Arizona State. Dicey late.

[E]

So you guys are mad at him for pushing winners?

[D]

Dicey.

[B]

No, I'm not mad at him.

[D]

You say Dicey late to that one. But on Memphis, Arkansas fumbled. Oh, well.

[A]

Yeah, Well, I mean, I figured we knew that, obviously. Yeah. I mean, the Memphis one, they pulled it out with that fumble. Yeah, for sure.

[B]

No, I'm not mad at Rico at all. I wish I had taken it. I didn't. There wasn't.

[D]

I heard rumors you didn't bet it. Like, people are asking for the slip and then you didn't show it.

[A]

Yes, I did.

[D]

I mean, I'll be honest.

[B]

I did not bet it. I'm not. I'm not.

[D]

Just pull it up.

[A]

It's. I am, I am. I am. I just.

[D]

I hate. I hate that.

[A]

That gotcha culture, though. It's not your fault, Dave. I know. You're just. But I just.

[D]

I hate that.

[A]

It drives me insane.

[B]

You got your culture, Dave. Yeah, I wish I bet it. I was pissed. I didn't bet it. I don't bet every.

[D]

Like, I've lost 9,000 straight parlays. I wish. I bet it.

[B]

I bet everybody's parlay. I think the problem was, was that.

[D]

In the app, like, bet the underdog. I didn't even see it wasn't.

[A]

It was. It was in the app.

[B]

It was in the app. No, it was because it was Utah. Because we flew to Utah camp, all my BET games before I left. And then when we landed in Utah, I saw Rico tweeting about it, and I was like, God damn it.

[D]

So three pick parlay.

[A]

28. 76.

[B]

Would you pay? Would you win?

[D]

What?

[A]

We're not unit thinging.

[B]

I'm not. I'm not.

[A]

I'm just asking you, digging and diving here, is that on the app or.

[D]

Was that just a screenshot from Twitter?

[B]

That's a screenshot, Jack.

[A]

I'm not. I'm just asking a question.

[B]

Okay. Are you.

[A]

Can we please get. Make sure we get subtitles for Jackie Germany, too. Make sure we get the subtitles for all four.

[D]

Let's just break down.

[A]

I mean, it's not. It's not. Yeah, it's not great. It's not great. I'm not.

[D]

I hate to say it. I don't want to say what I'm about to say.

[A]

Say whatever you want. Say whatever you want.

[D]

I'm not 100 sure you bet it.

[A]

Okay, then that's fine. You know what? Then. Then open with that clip, and then that's fine.

[B]

No, Just show us your app.

[A]

I did. I had it, man. It's in the thing. I pulled it up via the app. I saved it. Dan, I'm not gonna.

[D]

What's happening?

[A]

It's.

[D]

I'm having.

[A]

It's hard.

[D]

Got your culture.

[A]

Gotcha. Culture.

[B]

The.

[D]

Is there something that's going on beneath the surface right now? Like, what's going on? I don't know.

[A]

I got some kind of rational breakout on my leg. Oh, yeah. Dave, Dave, Dave.

[E]

We made him drink milk.

[A]

And they made me drink milk. Dave. I'm still. But I. But here's the thing. Like, this is the thing, right? They're like, Rico, you miserable. Like, you horrible human. I come in like, hey, guys, like, good to see you.

[B]

You know, like, I didn't say that. No, no. Finish the story.

[E]

And then what?

[B]

And then what?

[E]

And then what was the thing that was so bad?

[A]

Drinking the milk?

[D]

Hank, I. I'm so lost on what is happening here. What do you mean? You drank milk and now you're crying. I'm not crying.

[A]

It's just a lot.

[B]

You just.

[D]

You're, like, very close to crying because we asked to see the slip, which. Who cares if you put a dollar on it? You put a dollar on it.

[B]

Like.

[D]

I had it.

[A]

I just saved it to photos with the three checks.

[D]

But you can literally go into your app bets and just show it.

[A]

That's what I did.

[B]

No, you didn't.

[D]

Maneuvered the phone so, like, we couldn't unit shame, I guess. But a dollar is a dollar. You bet it. You bet it. No unit shaming. I. It's just. I want to believe you almost cried, but why won't you just show it?

[A]

Like, I'll get it.

[B]

Yeah, I'll get it. All right. We don't care about the money. You. You bet on it. I wish I bet on it. I would. Guess what I've been betting on.

[D]

What does milk have to do with anything?

[A]

Hank brought up the milk. Hank brought up the milk. What is.

[D]

What is wrong with milk?

[B]

You don't like milk, by the way. Can I just.

[A]

No. I hate milk.

[B]

All right, here.

[A]

Here it is.

[B]

Wait, hold on, hold on. Why are you putting the o. That's the pencil. Okay? So that looks like you bet it, so shut up.

[A]

Okay, Jack? Shut up.

[B]

I don't know why you would cry over this.

[A]

I gotta go to the doctor.

[E]

I don't want the milk.

[B]

I want to see the rash.

[D]

What? What? You don't like milk? They made. Who made you drink milk?

[E]

We were playing life size clue which is like a simple board game. It was a very. It wasn't like a punishment stream or like, it wasn't like, in high intensity. We played a game, it went quick. We're like, oh, let's play another one. Maybe put some mousetraps in. And then Nick was joking, was like, all right, if you roll six, you have to drink a glass of milk. Enrico has never drank milk in his life. He rolled it. He was like. He rolled a six, drank milk. It took him 15 minutes to drink it. He was puking. Fake puking. Possibly. Some were saying, not me.

[A]

Glass of milk.

[B]

Guys, lay off him.

[A]

He's going through it right now. You can never be Santa.

[D]

Oh, no way.

[A]

There's no way.

[D]

I'll drink. If he pukes, I'm puking. No way. It's not.

[A]

He's on real puke.

[B]

Dude. This guy's not even a rider anymore. And then he.

[E]

But then he broke out into hives. He broke out into hives. Do you still have him?

[A]

Yeah, kind of like, it's this thing over here, and then it's whatever.

[D]

When did this happen?

[A]

Tuesday night.

[B]

But you like milkshakes and you like ice cream.

[A]

Yeah, I'm fucked up. I'm a fucked up guy.

[B]

I've never heard of that. Like, I've heard of lactose intolerant people. You just don't like milk.

[D]

What are you doing with your headphones? Why you keep putting them on and off like that?

[A]

They were sliding. They're sliding. They're not.

[B]

Probably not even plugged in.

[A]

Dave.

[B]

Dan.

[A]

Where are we at? Like, I see you. We had a good time.

[D]

What is going on?

[A]

Just fucking like. This is nuts. We had a good week last week.

[B]

It was a great week. I think I've been Rico, fact or fiction. Have I not been.

[A]

Yeah, you've been a good guy.

[D]

You could just been like, did you bet it? Yeah, Here it is. Done.

[A]

There you go. You're right.

[B]

Instead, we're talking about milk and crying over. We're literally crying over spilled milk.

[A]

Yeah. Bosco, is there any chance that unit is under a dollar?

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

I just. I just need to know. Come on.

[D]

But he didn't put the. You he still hasn't in that thing. Showed us how much he bet.

[A]

Covered it with a pencil because we got a bunch of hardos not dealing with. There was.

[D]

Well, we already think it's as little as it can humanly be, so.

[A]

All right, so that's great. It is what it is.

[B]

All right, let's. I'm not unit Shaming. But if you put it in for one cent, that is literally just you doing it so that this. When this conversation comes up, you can show.

[D]

Can you bet it first?

[A]

No.

[B]

Yeah, you can bet it.

[A]

That's five cents, I think, is the.

[B]

No, that's not you. No, no, no. Betting for a cent is different than betting it for a dollar. Betting for a cent is literally just so that you can pass this conversation.

[A]

No.

[E]

Maybe.

[D]

I don't know.

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

No way. You don't pay.

[D]

How much did you bet it for, Rico? Just tell us. Just tell us what? How much now?

[B]

One cent.

[A]

It's not one cent. That's you tonight.

[D]

How much?

[B]

Was it an actual bet or was.

[A]

It just an actual beta happen and.

[B]

You want to show.

[D]

Why won't you tell us?

[A]

Because you have hornos on the Internet, Dave. They're horos. They don't stop. I got enough.

[D]

But you get. They already think it's as low as it can be, so there's nothing.

[A]

That's fine. So then that's imagination. It's like Kate Upton's tits. It's in their imagination.

[B]

Like, if you show me and it's $2, I'm gonna be like, good hit. Yes.

[A]

Okay, then there you go.

[B]

But if it's one cent, I'm gonna.

[A]

Be like, that's not one cent. It's not one cent.

[D]

What is it? Text me it privately. I won't say anything.

[A]

I've seen that trap before.

[D]

No, not when I say I won't do it.

[B]

He's not a writer. Text me privately. I won't say it. I will not say it. You know, I will not say it because we.

[D]

I have to know the last text that you. It's good. It's gonna eat me up on the inside. Now I have fun.

[A]

I mean, it's whatever.

[D]

I have to know.

[A]

It's little. It's little. It's a little.

[D]

I know. You think we don't know it's little?

[E]

[D]

No, it's not 2 numbers. I'm going way under 2 numbers. Unless. 0.02. No, it's a little guy.

Yeah, I'm hoping for, like, point. Like, you know, 2, 5.

[B]

You say a little guy. Like, is it like, we need a microscope or is it a little guy? Oh, it's a little rabbit.

[D]

I didn't know I could need to know something this bad. It's a little guy. What we know is little, Rico. You think we don't know as little at this point?

[B]

Like. Like, are we talking? Are we talking To Minnow, or are we talking.

[A]

It's a little.

[D]

I mean, only. Only.

[A]

Oh, this could only. It's whatever.

[B]

Are you gonna cry?

[A]

All right.

[E]

Could you buy a sandwich with the winnings?

[A]

It's a little guy. Yeah, you could. 100.

[B]

That's fine.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I had.

[D]

What kind of sandwich, though? Like.

[B]

Oh, you can buy.

[A]

You can buy a party.

[B]

You can buy a party hero. You could buy for the entire party.

[D]

Hero. So that's what, like 12 bucks?

[A]

Yeah, you got it, Dave.

[B]

This entire. Pick them we're talking.

[D]

Is that it? 12 bucks? What's a party here? I'm looking it up.

[B]

I'm telling you, Dave. Yeah, he said it. Yeah. Well, you could buy enough for everyone to have subs. That's a good. That's a good hit.

[D]

I have no problem with this. There you go.

[A]

Okay. All right.

[B]

No problem with it, Rico.

[D]

Just.

[A]

I got a lot of problems, but.

[D]

You understand that's like that, that, that's pretty good.

[A]

Yeah, it's a little guy. I know it's a little guy. Let's leave it alone.

[B]

That little guy's a real guy.

[D]

I don't. Yeah, I have no problem with that.

[A]

All right.

[D]

That's like Cam, my girlfriend bets that. All right.

[A]

Back to a regular start.

[D]

She'd kill for that. I know.

[B]

That's a good hit, Rico.

[D]

It's a good hit.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

That's real money. One.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You understand when we.

[D]

I, I, you, You get in your own head. If you posted that, you're fine. Like, what. What you're not. What are you. What are you looking around? You're not rolling.

[A]

You're not some millionaire.

[D]

You can't be putting hundreds of dollars on 30 to 1 shots.

[A]

That's fair.

[B]

This is what unit not in union shaming. Looks like we're building you up.

[D]

I thought you had. I thought you bet a penny.

[B]

Yeah, me too. That's a real bet. You won real money. That's a good bet.

[D]

All right.

[B]

I was.

[D]

I was gonna say, I think you also misled people. Party hero to me. That's a big sub. You can go to a dinner.

[B]

Yeah, well, a decent dinner. You could go. You could take the boys to Chili's for two. No, you take the boys to Chili's.

[D]

No, you can. Listen. John's a Bleecker. Great pizza place. You can buy the place out. You can get anything you want on that menu. And bottle of wine. The whole world. No, then. Now they have house wine and craft. No. No label on it. But he can do It. I have no problem with that. All right.

[A]

It's good to have the guys back. It's good to have the guys.

[B]

I can't believe that was. That was almost tears.

[A]

Yeah. It's tough then.

[D]

Yeah. That was crazy. I mean, we've had a lot of crazy moments. That was.

[B]

I need a transcript of the. Of the first 20 minutes of today's show where it's like, just asking a question.

[D]

Yeah. And then in, like, Rico crying like anguish.

[B]

[B]

All right. How so, Rico, what do you. What do you think? Do you think maybe people who are involved in gambling at this company taking a trip to October fest in the middle of football season? What do we think about that?

[A]

No, I just was having.

[D]

He.

[A]

I mean, he was. He was acting up.

[D]

It's.

[A]

I don't. Vacation shame. I'm not going to vacation shame. But it's just. It's what he does. Like, he. He knows he's got a skeleton in the. And here he comes as the grim reaper. Like, it's. That's not fair.

[D]

At Tables is going Oktoberfest.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

One day. One, two days.

[B]

No. Monday, Tuesday.

[D]

That's crazy.

[B]

On Sunday.

[D]

That's crazy.

[B]

Tables.

[D]

That's nuts. October core. Wait, it already happened. We're not in October.

[B]

Yeah, they do.

[A]

Yeah, but it's October in Germany. They're ahead.

[B]

Got it. What, what days? No, no. What days were you gone?

[A]

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.

[D]

NFL Sunday. That's nuts. Well, yeah, but I was on the plane. I was still doing. That's crazy.

[B]

Were the drinks worth it?

[D]

I would say, I would say in your role, summertime is, is when you should be taking those vacations. We were given a.

[A]

A very nice opportunity at Oktoberfest.

[D]

Oh, you got nice opportunities. That's nice. Like, nobody else at this company gets opportunities that they like. I get an opportunity every Friday day, you scumbag. Oh, I got a very nice opportunity because I work here, so I took it the busiest time of the year. That's a lousy ass attitude. And answer. If we're being honest, I got a great opportunity. Why'd you get that? Because you, they like you because you work here. You, because you work here on the weekends. That's fucking Dante, the don who fucking only knew Gronk because of me and knows everybody's fucking life because of me. And then when I'm working my ass off at a bill's fucking tailgate and I'm like, hey, we need some B roll for this fucking video. Sorry, you can't come film here, all right? You're dead to me forever. No. Why you got credit to.

[E]

You let him come back.

[B]

Yeah, you did let him come back. Who? Dante.

[D]

Come back where?

[E]

Like he's everything dead to you.

[B]

He works here.

[D]

When, when he complains, I text Dave and he doesn't fucking respond. That's like, he can go do his thing. Gaz brought the kid who works at the building back. I would have never brought that kid back. He didn't deserve a second chance. The singing kid, he's back? No, he came back o'. Day. Never should have been back here the second time when he was salary and then renegotiated five seconds after and gas like I'm gonna bring this piece of shit back. You know what? He left again.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Who they are. When they show you who they are, believe them.

[B]

Yeah, they're right, Bosco.

[A]

You're right, Dave.

[B]

You can't believe us. Never leave us.

[A]

If you do 48 hours, cry and come back as soon as possible.

[D]

Great opportunity.

[B]

So wait, Jackie, how drunk did you get in Germany?

[D]

Not that bad.

[B]

Okay, and what was the great opportunity? Who took?

[A]

I, I, that was, I misspoke that.

[B]

But no, who took you there?

[A]

Just a guy we know in Chicago.

[B]

Oh, okay. That is, that sounds like a great opportunity.

[E]

Can't pass that up. I don't, I don't really want to go.

[A]

Go into anymore.

[B]

What's the March Madness trip this year? You guys going to South Africa?

[A]

Taking any more vacations?

[B]

No. You could take vacations. No.

[D]

On Sunday. Our gambling guy on Sunday. In NFL week two. That's nuts. You know what I was doing on Sunday and working about sitting in a little 4x4 hotel room. We got a contract with Fox to pay all these clown salaries. I could have been anywhere, literally on the globe. And I'm sitting in a 4x4 cell waiting to do my show, and it's 80 and sunny. I got nowhere to go. That's what I was doing.

[B]

And losing everything.

[D]

Everything.

[B]

Dave and I were texting on Sunday. That was all Rams game. That Rams game.

[D]

Then you misled me when I woke up where you're like, we're back. I was like, we hit this parlay, okay?

[B]

In my defense, we. We bet Chiefs. I thought you bet Chiefs big, I bet Chiefs big. We. We decided Chiefs.

[D]

50 on the Chiefs, 50 on that parlay, 100 on the red Sox. Red Sox got fucking wiped out.

[B]

So the parlay. I thought we were going to get early exit, which we should have, but fucking Jackie. Jackie. Oktoberfest was. Was all the way in Munich drinking. Yeah. Yeah. Dave, you.

[D]

It's fine.

[A]

You owe.

[D]

You owe me probably 75 grand. 80 grand. Jack. You honestly do like, we're joking, but you do because the other.

[E]

Because of the kicker.

[A]

Yeah, the kicker came in.

[D]

Yeah, but it would have already been out.

[B]

He would have been. So I was. We were recording pmt. What happened was we bet Gruden's parlay.

[D]

David parlay.

[B]

And it was. So it was Russell Wilson under yards.

[D]

Not even close.

[B]

Not even close. It was not even close. Winner. Yeah. Yeah, it was.

[D]

He proved like 100 yards he needed.

[A]

230.

[B]

What was the other thing?

[D]

Rushing yard 50 and two field goals from Graham Gano.

[B]

And Graham Gano was hurt before the game. They announced it, like, literally as kickoff happened. They're like.

[D]

Dan's like, I'm gonna text Jackie. Jackie, tables. We'll get this kicked off. So you still gonna win the parlay? The other two. But Gano's hurt. He didn't play for the first half. He. He texted me, I. That text Jackie. DraftKings will probably refund. I didn't know he's at Oktoberfest on an NFL Sunday.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

$80,000.

[B]

Yeah. So I. So. So there are. DraftKings does a great thing where they do early exit. If a guy gets hurt, doesn't Play at all in the first half and you better prop they'll. You still got to win the rest of the party.

[D]

Which we did.

[B]

Which we did. But they'll void that leg. So like it happened with CD Lamb. CD Lamb goes out in the second play of the game against the Bears.

[D]

Fucking.

[B]

And they void it.

[A]

Punk.

[D]

Jackie.

[B]

Graham Gano. I was recording PMT and I see they kick a field goal. I just assumed it was the punter, Dave, because we don't have the sound on. I didn't realize till after the game that it was Graham Gano.

[D]

Yeah, because Graham Gano, they said he got hurt before the game is questionable. He didn't do kickoffs. He. They went for an extra point. They forego a field goal. He wasn't playing that. The whole thing would have been voided. But Jackie's taking vacation in fucking week two of the NFL season because somebody in Chicago had a great opportunity. What a joke this league is.

[B]

Fix it. Fix it, Jack, you owe me 80 grand.

[D]

I don't know what that parlay would have been. It was plus 500. They would have to rearrange the odds. But I had 50, 80. You owe me at least 100. They were both little plus monies. You owe me a hundred grand. Figure it out.

[B]

Fix it. Jackie, are you gonna fix it?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

The. Yeah, I know. What would. The. What would it have paid out?

[D]

At least 100. Would have been double.

[B]

God damn it. Yeah, so that's why I text you we're back, because I didn't realize it was Graham Gano that came in. I thought it was.

[D]

Yeah, he, like, limped in and did, like a hero act and kicked an 18 yard field goal and then fell over.

[B]

I had no idea. So when the Chiefs won and I was like, oh, this will probably be an early exit because of Graham Gano. I had no idea that it would.

[D]

Have been if Jackie. If Jackie was on top of that and not gallivanting the globe with a great opportunity on the second week of the NFL season, they probably would have done it before even came back.

[B]

Yeah, I put 4,500 on it. Just so if you want to keep it up to. Up to date there.

[D]

110 grannies down then.

[B]

All right. That was a good start to pick him. Rico, how are you doing overall? Like, you, you. You. The milk thing really bothered you, huh?

[A]

No, it just. Hank brought it up. I mean, I got over it. The next day I was fine.

[D]

It's just.

[A]

Yeah, I'm all right. It's just for the, like, that's that's. I try to be civil and Jackie comes in like he's going to throw.

[D]

A punch and then, oh, Jackie shouldn't have been throwing any punches saying, like I.

[B]

Said, his mouth. Oh, all right, Dave, you go.

[D]

I'm doing the RICO thing with my hands. I just caught my hand. Like the Rico thing. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

So you don't let it out.

[D]

Fest and I'm out here in the trenches.

[A]

So you don't let it out. You bite it.

[B]

You got a great opportunity. Great opportunity.

[A]

[B]

All right, so we're at Illinois, USC this weekend. Big noon kickoff. Utah was awesome. So much fun. And I had that game so wrong.

[D]

I was right. I've been 4 and oh against the spread in games that Big noon has been not getting the respect at the ball. Nowhere at these games that I should. I. That line stunk. It absolutely stunk.

[B]

Yeah. No, you, you, you nailed that one. What. What other.

[A]

And Texas Tech beat him on a back. The backup quarterback.

[B]

What other takeaways? That was, that was my two takeaways. Texas Tech and then Indiana, which I think you were on Illinois. Dave. That was.

[D]

I was. I didn't see a. A inch of that game. I didn't see any of it. I mean I saw highlights. I mean obviously the screw job in Auburn, Oklahoma was incredible.

[A]

Three layer screw job.

[D]

Yeah. Crazy. I mean I, I don't I don't know how you. I.

[A]

All right.

[D]

You can miss a passive parents. The scoop and score, they miss. But the, the, the cheating play, I don't get like, I don't know how that's not reviewable. And I don't know, like, are you a scumbag for calling that play? If you're Oklahoma, it's like you're cheating.

[B]

I, I don't know. I mean, I.

[D]

Like, there's clearly an illegal play. They've been warned about that play. They do the play. Hugh Freeze is arguing in real time about the play. I just don't know how you go. Don't go back and throw a 15 yard penalty and be like, it's clearly an illegal play. That was crazy.

[B]

Yeah, it was pretty crazy.

[D]

They're done. Matier's hurt so. Well, they're not done. I don't know.

[B]

Materials out for two or three weeks, I think I said and I think Oklahoma. Let me see where their schedule.

[D]

I was impressed with Michigan. Even though they didn't win by a lot. I thought they were very dominant against Nebraska. And I have. I. If you said, Dave, not even Michigan, like, are they going to make the playoffs? I think they are.

[A]

That drive, that drive at the end was something.

[D]

Yeah. They didn't finish it. That last play with Underwood, I would have said he was going to score 100 out of 100 times. It looked like he had two blockers in front. He's a big guy. Didn't score. That was the first time I was like, how do you not score there? But yeah, no, I'm happy with their progression. And he'll keep getting better.

[B]

Biff Poggy with one of the worst coaching decisions of all time at the.

[D]

End of the half and the first half. Idiotic.

[B]

He's just pit ball. That's. You kind of gotta love ball.

[D]

You live by the Biff sword, you die by the Biff sword. That and absolutely, yeah. Oh, so stupid. But now the only thing I'll say is Rule wasn't doing it on purpose. He fell into it. Like he wasn't like, I'm gonna set this guy up. Like, I don't know what they were doing. They gave up and started running the ball, which was nuts. But yeah, that was the second I saw it. I started walking out of the room and they turned around. I was in the cave. I'm like this, there's gonna be a touchdown now because they just gave him a free Hail Mary and that would have been a devastating way to lose that game. They also had a huge like taunting call that led to a touchdown. But overall they dominated that team.

[B]

Yeah, they did. I agree with you. Michigan, like they their schedule sets up. They should be in the playoff, by the way, Oklahoma. So they have a bi week this week, Kent State and then Texas. So probably he comes back. Yeah, this is probably something he needed for a while. And they were like, hey, we got to just do this now. Because you basically have three weeks until Texas.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And then they have a tough schedule after that. All right, let's do picks. Let's do the five games, the rivalries, the marching bands, the upset.

[B]

Start with the game. We're going to be at Illinois USC. Illinois got absolutely smacked by Indiana USC. USC's probably got a legitimate complaint about the scheduling here. They played 11pm Eastern Time on Saturday night against Michigan State. Now they play noon Eastern on Saturday. The line is six and a half the over under 61 and a half. Dave, I'll start with you because we're going to that game.

[D]

Yeah, so I was wrong on Illinois. I didn't watch much of it. I'm going on. Altmeyer, I think, is a good quarterback. I am also I watched, I watched the first half of USC last week in Michigan State. I had the over hit easily. I loved it. It was. I don't. I think the guys are right. There was a major injury at the end of the first half that really slowed that game down. I think the schedule here is a major factor. I think them. I've all. I don't like these outside Oregon maybe, but I don't like USC and you. Ucla, they snake coming to the Midwest. I think it, they're soft teams. Illinois, if they have any pride, will be ready for this game. I think it'll be close. I like Illinois in the points.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna agree with you. I'm gonna take Illinois in the points. I just.

[D]

I also like the over 61 and a half.

[B]

This is a brutal spot schedule wise and I do think Illinois is not a bad team. I think they were in a bad spot because Indiana, I mean, Signetti is. Signetti is similar to Harbaugh at Michigan. When, when he's got it, when he knows he's going to win, he's going to really fucking rub it in.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean? Like he's going to run it up. He's always finding little things that he's pissed off about.61 and actually I'm going to go over 61 and a half. I'm not. I'm going to stay away from the side, but I do think Illinois will stay in this game. Rico, your pick.

[A]

I'll take the bait. I'll take usc. I feel like an idiot obviously of how bad Illinois looked last week, but I've been on this USC team. I do think they're pretty good. I'm going to take USC minus the six and a half.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

To Dave's point. They, they, they came into. I know it's not the same. Illinois is obviously better, but they, they did okay against, against Purdue.

[D]

Not really. They didn't cover. I had Purdue.

[A]

Yeah. One by 16 did not cover.

[D]

You're right.

[B]

But they didn't cover against Michigan State either.

[D]

Yeah, Michigan state put up 30 points.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. Yeah.

[B]

Isn't that. What was the final score in that.

[D]

Game, 42 to 31 or something?

[B]

Yeah, that's not covering. They're 18 and a half point favorite. Yes.

[D]

No, they did jump out to a.

[A]

173 lead against Purdue. Yeah.

[B]

That doesn't count as covering.

[A]

I agree. I both can be true.

[B]

Also had USC in that game, so I know that they did not.

[D]

Yeah, I had Purdue. That was a winner for me. Michigan, the Michigan State game for these early starts. I. It's tough.

[A]

And the Michigan State game was out west, though, just for the record.

[D]

Well, yeah, because, I mean, it's tough to go from the latest start time in college football to the earliest if you're not playing on the West Coast. Yeah, that's fair.

[B]

This is me. A great game. It's just, what a weekend with the Ryder Cup. 2. It's going to be an incredible weekend.

[D]

Here's my annual take. I. I don't. I don't find the Ryder cup interesting.

[B]

Oh, go on.

[D]

I just don't. I, like. Golf doesn't hit. It's not like a contact sport. I have a hard time with those, like, videos. Yeah. The firefighter talking to, like, the team. But I don't, like. I don't know. It's just. I don't put American pride in golf. I think if you asked, obviously, they bitch moaned about getting paid. And I think if you ask any single one of those guys, hey, if you could win the Rider cup or win, like, the toy. The. The Honda Invitational, they won't hesitate to say, give me the Honda Invitational.

[E]

I disagree with that. I think. I mean, some tournaments, yeah, but the random ones, no, I think they'd.

[D]

I think they'd all rather win a single than this team. I. I just.

[B]

Are you talking about the Americans? Because I think that's why we get. That's why we lose a lot, is the Europeans do, actually.

[D]

Yeah. I'm talking about the Americans because it.

[B]

Does feel like the Europeans actually care a lot.

[D]

Maybe more than us. Yeah. I mean, they're not getting paid. I mean, the bitch didn't get paid, obviously. And they're like, we didn't really care. But you did, because you want to be like, you bitch to get paid. I don't know. It just doesn't do it. It's like, oh, we beat Europe. I don't really. Maybe it's sort of like the America's cup, like, Connor, that guy, the sailing, like, it's just a thing. I don't, like, really care about.

[A]

It is the only time they compete as a team in golf, though.

[D]

No, it's. That's just blatantly untrue. Right.

[A]

What's the other one?

[D]

President's Cup.

[B]

Live. Live.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

I mean, President's cup is like. That's why they're like, we get paid for the President's cup, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

Tickets are also expensive. It's one of those things where it's like the. Everyone else is making money that makes Sense why the players should too.

[A]

What do you.

[B]

Dave?

[E]

This is. We won the Ryder Cup. My team won the. The Barcelona Rider Cup.

[B]

Is that out yet?

[E]

It's out. It's finished.

[D]

Okay, that was finished two seconds into it.

[B]

Well, I know that, but I didn't know if there was like one.

[E]

I mean, Kirk.

[B]

Kirk.

[E]

I don't know, you guys. I'm sure you'll talk about it. Kirk ruined. Like Kirk that was lost in the second. Kirk hijacked the draft.

[D]

100.

[B]

Well, I would also say whichever team ended up with me was gonna probably lose.

[D]

Well, I mean, the way they did it where it's like all the foreplay guys and couldn't do this and Kirk's gonna be like, well, I played great. Yeah, but you're the whole thing, so nice job.

[E]

What? We have an $80,000 bet as a team, and me and Jerry are trying to convince the group chat to like take a shot. And everyone else is like, we want to take a heavy favorite. And Dave said Riggs has final say.

[D]

Oh, Riggs is a captain? Yeah.

[B]

Any.

[E]

Any what? Like, I just. I just don't know where to try and lead everyone.

[D]

So how much. How much was it per person? 10 grand.

[E]

20.

[D]

20.

[E]

And they said you can do. Yeah, it's 80 minus 200 max.

[D]

Wait, what if. How many people are on our team?

[B]

There's eight. Eight people also.

[E]

What's ten grand?

[D]

Yes, ten grand.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

And then with the possibility for 20 or more or like.

[D]

You're correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

If I were you, I would. I go like a two to one. I. I would. I would try to take a shot.

[D]

I mean, it varies. 10 grand means different to a lot of different people. I mean, I. I probably, like, if I walk away at 20 grand out of it, I'm probably happy for a normal. So I would just probably do like a straight game is probably what I would do.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

I mean, then listen, if you want to like, then take a shot by yourself, you can. There's nothing stopping you from then putting 20 on another game.

[B]

Good point. Good point. True. All right. Ohio State at Washington. Washington plus seven and a half over unders 51 and a half. I'll start. I think I'm going to take Washington.

[D]

This game, this line, Danny, this line is screaming. No, I agree with you.

[A]

I agree with you.

[D]

They're walking. I think Washington wins this game.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

The grind open at 15. I know it's at seven and a half. And this quarterbacks never played a really. This Texas team. Not that Great.

[B]

They beat. That's the thing where everyone's putting Ohio State. I think Ohio State's very good, but it's all. What they put Arch in a fucking torture. Arch stinks.

[D]

Stinks.

[B]

Sam Houston put him in a torture chamber.

[D]

Thanks. You're going to one of the toughest places to play in the country. Great coach. First true road test for this quarterback. Watch out. I like the Huskies outright.

[B]

Yeah. By the way, I think Sam Houston was the game that Arch actually played well.

[D]

Yeah, that he pulled the Bosco. Yeah, that he did. Bosco City. He. He bullied a little guy. He's like, I. I'm. I'm not. I'm not running with the big dogs, but hey, you know Trista Crick, I'm gonna get in your face. Yeah, that's what he did.

[A]

We were doing so well. We were doing so well.

[B]

The Bosco, though, he was flexing on a. On a Sam Houston State player.

[D]

Yeah, we're doing so well.

[A]

So fucking well.

[B]

What do you got in this game, Bosco?

[A]

I'll take the over. I think Washington can score. I'll take the over.

[B]

Okay, here's a fun one. LSU, Ole Miss. Ole Miss minus one and a half over, under 55 and a half. We had this disagreement on PMT. Dave, I want to hear your take. I don't think it's a big deal. Everyone's making it this huge deal that Lane Kiffin's daughter's dating the linebacker. I think it's how it would help Lane, if anything, because he probably talks to him and gets a little fucking information.

[D]

First of all, it was all programmed with this ESPNW thing. And if you're Lane Kiffin, do you want your daughter dating, like, the starting linebacker at LSU or some TikTok dweeb? You want the linebacker at LSU? He's probably happy as a pig and shit that they're dating. So, yeah, this isn't a thing at all. Like, they're trying to make. Oh, you drop this on game week. First of all, they clearly. It was orchestrated. They knew it. And if you have a daughter, you want her to date the star football player, not a wiggle dicker. So one of the great non stories of all time.

[B]

Thank you.

[E]

Are those the only two options of people you can date?

[B]

No, but everyone's saying that it's like this. Oh, my God.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Player fucking dicking down Lane. Like, first of all, Link Kiffin and his daughter seem like they have a great relationship. He's probably known about this for months.

[D]

Who Else is she gonna date? Hank, she's a very pretty girl with a famous last name. She's not dating the use of the world. She's dating either. Like a football player. A famous TikTok dweeb.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

Ole Miss frat guy.

[B]

Like, the Only Way.

[D]

What would you rather. What would you rather, the linebacker at LSU or a frat guy at Ole Miss and these frats that. By the way, Ole Miss. I hate the sororities. The sororities at. At Ole Miss. Some of the worst people ever.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, that is personal. Yeah.

[D]

Big old titties. She knows.

[B]

You have to tell me after. Yeah, The Only Way. Like, I just didn't think it was that big of a deal. And I think actually I. If you're. If you're Weeks, the guy dating Lane Kiffin's daughter. And let's. I'm going under the assumption they've been dating for three months. Okay. Let's just say that. And it's been under wraps. You've probably met Lane Kiffin. You're probably a little intimidated by Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin's probably asked you a couple questions about how's camp going. How's. How's the defense looking? What. What sets are you guys running? That's not a crazy leap of logic, is it?

[D]

Well, never mind that. Like his.

[A]

That's.

[B]

How is that weird?

[E]

It's a little weird.

[D]

His daughter is not distracted. Listen, all this hoopa la. The daughter's not distracted. She's not lining up. She's not putting the chin strap on. The boyfriend is. So. Again, I. This is a non story. I bet Lane is thrilled they're dating. That is. You'd rather the star football player than the frat guy or the TikTok kid, period.

[B]

You know what it is? It's. It's. It's a bunch of people who are. Who are too old to. Or too young to remember AJ Hawk and Brady Quinn.

[A]

That's what I was going to say.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

That was. No, she went with the split.

[D]

And by the way, Lane would probably her date somebody not on his team, so.

[B]

Correct. Why are you trying to get me to do the weird thing? Because you want me to bring up the Tom Brady. I thought it was weird.

[E]

Yeah, it was a joke.

[B]

Yeah, because I do think that's so weird. Do you think it's weird, Dave, that Tom Brady's in the booth calling plays and then.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Talking about. Okay. Oh, man, that blew up in your face, Hank. And then. All right, so wait, let's do this. Pick. Because then it's going to blow up even more. In your face with the next game. I'm taking Ole Miss minus one and a half.

[A]

Same Ole Miss.

[B]

Okay. Oregon versus State Penn State. Penn is minus three and a half.

[A]

Over.

[B]

Under is 51 and a half. Hank is going to the game. Dave, he's going to the game with Max. Say we got a. We got a sold thing. They're doing a meet and greet. They're doing the white out. Hank is rooting for State Penn.

[D]

I like Oregon here. I don't know that they're going to win, but pick them like, so give me the field goal.

[B]

All right, so. So let's. Let's ask. Let's. The real conversation is here, you're riderdom because I'm going for rider of the year. You are the reigning rider of the year. You're going to State Penn, and you're rooting for state Pen against Rico's duckies.

[E]

Listen, there's Rico, and I think Rico. There's probably a bunch of examples of this, especially, you know, without the Alabamas of the world. It's like you have your morals, you stand on your.

[B]

Your.

[E]

Your high horse and stuff, but someone sends you a jumpsuit, someone invites you to go on the field, you go into the game like Dave.

[A]

You do.

[E]

When you go to these games, it's. It's fun to go to a game. I don't really have a rooting preference between.

[D]

I don't think this is the home team to win. I don't think this is. This is bad ridership at all.

[B]

Okay, I got a question because this just triggered something in my brain. This might have gone the wrong direction for my writer of the year. Rico, question for you. This just popped in my brain. How quickly did you text Stephen Pearl after he got the job?

[A]

About an hour. He's always.

[B]

He's always shit, dude, you're in Alabama. You're NATO. Tried or die. You can't do that. You can't do that.

[A]

Nate knew I was Dave.

[B]

Do you think Dave would text the new Ohio State coach when Ryan Day, like, gets fired someday?

[A]

Yeah, but Dave went there and he only roots for one team. They know I root for the.

[D]

I don't want to say and Steve.

[A]

Have been great to Barstool, but I.

[D]

Would text Patricia, but NATO is his guy.

[A]

He is my guy. But Dan, Dave said this the other day. He said it on Wake Up Barstool. Listen, the Alabama people, they want me to hate Auburn. I hope Alabama wins every game. I hope Auburn wins Every game except the two that they play, obviously, and.

[B]

Don'T win the title when it comes down Alabama.

[A]

But it's good for. Dave said this on Waco barstool. It's good for the Big 12 when they're rooting for their conference.

[D]

Okay, so with the sec, they have.

[A]

Changed the eyes of college basketball to the sec. The Iron bowl is becoming bigger than Duke Carolina on that date. It was not true.

[D]

Totally false. Not even close. Not even close. Just an totally. One of the most obscene statements ever said.

[B]

That's the beauty of Rico. He had me there. Like, that was actually a really good answer by you.

[A]

They were both.

[B]

You went a little too long.

[D]

That game was.

[A]

That game had more juice. That's where they went.

[D]

That's insane.

[A]

In certain years. Yes.

[D]

Alabama never. Doesn't matter if they're both. Both winless.

[A]

That game. That. Not overall. That day. It had more juice. Yes, it did. Yes, it did. Yes, it did. It had more juice.

[D]

Never.

[B]

That day. It did. Because it was like one verse, two, wasn't it?

[A]

That's what I'm saying. Not overall, but as you're building and you're building this and the Iron Bowl, I don't care if it's one versus superpowers. You need Alabama Norburn to be really good.

[B]

That's.

[D]

And they don't call it the Iron bowl either.

[B]

Yeah. They don't call it the Iron Bolt. Rico, let me ask you a very important question. Is Nate Oats know that you text Steve Pearl?

[A]

They know I'm friendly with Steve. Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Okay. They're recruiting the same. They're in the same living.

[A]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[B]

Okay. I'm just. I want to know where Nate Oates, you know, he's. He's okay with it. You think? You don't know he's. There's no way he knows.

[A]

They've known.

[B]

They've seen the pictures of us right now. Text NATO's right now and be like, hey, just so you know, I texted Steve Pearl.

[A]

They know. They've seen the pictures of us at the Final four shows with Pearl. They know where we're at with that.

[B]

Okay. All right. So back to this game. Dave or Rico. So are you. I mean, this is. This is your matchup. This is your duckies versus state pen whiteout the Lions three and a half over under his first 50. One and a half.

[A]

I mean. Yeah, you want it now?

[B]

It's immortal. Oh.

[D]

You could take.

[A]

You could take the three and a half points and shove them up your ass. We don't need Them because we don't need them. Franklin against ranked 12 and 26, 3 and 17 against the top 10, 1 and 14 against the top five. Drew and Aller, 4 and 5 against ranked teams. Completes like 50 of his passes, throws for 151 yards. He's not going to be moving the ball. They're not going to light it up. I like Lanning. I like more. The Duckies are doing the thing. They win the game on the field and they embarrass everybody out there who probably who's going to be on the jumbotron because they got a jumpsuit with no morals. That's what they're going to do.

[D]

Hanky.

[A]

So take the three.

[D]

Quack quack.

[A]

They win the game on the field.

[D]

Hanky and, and Day.

[A]

And Dan knows too because like, you know, he's had conversations about college. Like, oh, there's no real like superpower team yet who's really showcasing. He alluded to it last week. He goes, watch out. When the Duckies go next week. They could rise to the top of the top team in the country.

[B]

Yeah, if they win this game, I think that conversation will be about them. Miami's got a bye week. Did you see Rico on pmt? I said white out though. I dress.

[A]

Yeah, that's the other thing. That's the other thing. Franklin with his stupid glasses took a shot at Fox in his press conference. Conference.

[B]

What'd he say?

[D]

Now that's shot at us. Is that what you're saying?

[A]

Yeah. I bleed fox.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

One time, two time appearance. I bleed Fox. So they, he goes, oh, I know Fox thinks that 12 o' clock noon is the same as night. You know, this and that. Hey buddy. Win a game, pal. Quack, quack. Get in the pond.

[B]

Facts. I'm taking Oregon plus three and a half. I do think it's gonna be.

[A]

Stop making witnesses who know things go disappearing in their car.

[B]

Okay, James E. I'm gonna. I do think that Penn State's gonna be able to run the ball. I do not trust Drew Aller. I don't know.

[D]

Not, not the guy.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I mean it's gonna be a tough, tough game. It's gonna be a really tough game. But I'm gonna take Oregon plus three and a half. I will take the points. Dave, do you have a pick on this game?

[D]

Yeah, I said I think, I think it's pick them. So I'll give me the field goal. If it was the other way and Penn State was plus three and a half, I'd take them. But I'll take the points.

[B]

Sounds like he's a little upset that you're. You're going in the whiteout. I don't, I don't know what you.

[E]

Want me to do. It's a, it's a sponsored thing. And yeah, if I'm at a school that I don't really have any, you know, allegiances toward wear.

[B]

Duckies.

[E]

I'm rooting for the home.

[B]

No, I'm rooting for the home team.

[E]

We're going to be on the field.

[D]

I have. That's. Not that. I have no problem with that.

[A]

I know it's.

[D]

But.

[A]

But it's after Kansas State last year and it's.

[B]

Yeah, you forgot about Kansas last year. Kansas State last year.

[E]

For the, for the listeners, what happened with Kansas State last year?

[A]

Yeah, they didn't win. They didn't win.

[B]

Okay, so Hank was right.

[A]

Hank was right. All right. Yeah. My money's green, Hank, you're right.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. Last game.

[E]

I don't even remember what I did.

[B]

Georgia at Alabama. Alabama or sorry, Alabama at Georgia. Georgia's minus three over. Under is 52 and a half. Jam Miller back for Alabama. Should be good for the running game. I'm going to take the over in this game. 52 and a half. I don't know. We'll see. Kirby Smarts had an Alabama problem. I don't know if that was a Nick Saban problem. Obviously last year they lost as well. Will be interesting. This is a, this is a massive, massive game for Kaylin DeBoer. Like, if he wins this, his seat is immediately a lot cooler. And if he loses this, holy shit. I feel like Alabama fans are going.

[D]

To be pretty upset.

[B]

What do you guys got in this game?

[A]

I actually can go on opposite you, Dan. I like the under you touched on. Kirby Smart 1 and 9 in his last 10 against Bama. I'm sorry, Georgia 1 and 9 in the last 10 against Bama. Kirby Smart 1 in 6 against Bama. But I like the under.

[B]

Yeah, I think there's going to be points in this game. I think the Georgia's defense is not great. It's not like classic Georgia defense. And I think Gunner Stockton looked. He kind of answered some questions in the Tennessee game for me. Like he can, he can sling it a little, so. And I think Ty Simpson's pretty good too. I think that Florida State game was obviously really bad, but yeah, I think there should be points in this game. Dave, what do you got?

[D]

The line. I like Simpson, like, a lot. And I've said that I think Florida State may go down when we look at the end of the season and be they're like kind of a national title contender. So the Alabama loss doesn't look the Alabama loss to them doesn't look nearly as bad. This line to me screams they want people to take Georgia like three points at home. I like Alabama here. I think Alabama wins the game. I think it's high scoring, but I think Alabama's I they're better. I think people's got off track on them because that Florida State game and I like Florida State, I said that going into that game. I like Alabama and the over here and Simpson. I could see him working his way back into a Heisman candidate.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.

[A]

[B]

Rico, your card.

[A]

Sure. TCU, Arizona State over 55 and a half. Jack, I wrote these down yesterday.

[B]

Four and a half.

[A]

Okay, that's they're definitely going to move. North Texas minus 12 and a half. I like Arkansas plus the four and a half. I think they can win the game on the field as well. I'll also take the over 64 and a half ND stands for no defense. The way they've been playing. Give me the over. USC minus the six and a half. Two lane Tulsa over 53 and a half and the Duckies plus the three and a half.

[B]

Dave.

[D]

Arizona State. I like this team. I had them last week at home. Minus three and a half against TCU Houston - 13 and a half on the road against Oregon State. That seems debacle.

[B]

I like that.

[D]

Tell me what I say.

[B]

I like that I have that on.

[D]

My card everyone keeps telling me UCF is like the worst team in the Pac 12. And I, I don't, I, I Big 12. I mean I, I don't get why people are saying that they're undefeated. They smashed Belichick last week plus five and a half. Kansas State may be one of the worst teams in the country. So I'll take the points here. With ucf, they're undefeated. They struggled in one game. Everyone's like, they're terrible. Other than that they've cruised so. And they're decent program and have been so I don't really get that. Syracuse coming off that big win plus six and a half at home against Duke. That to me is coin flip. Arkansas at home against Notre Dame is there. You got to bounce. I, the only thing that worries me in this game is the way Arkansas lost. Like going in to win, fumble and go in. Do you get back up? I think they do here and I like the over 63 and a half. So Arkansas, the points and the over. I already gave out Illinois plus six and a half. I like the over in that game.

[B]

We have Washington by the way is eight and a half.

[D]

Eight and a half now. Okay, good.

[A]

Is that your favorite outright dog, Dave? Washington.

[B]

Are we running it back to win? Yeah, as well.

[D]

I'll look at everything. I got like no. Baylor - 20 and a half against Oak State. Gundy gone. That program is this right? I do not think this will be like play for the interim guy. I think they get smashed again. Ole Miss at home. I like them. Blc. I think LSU is trash. This is scary. I'm always on Iowa. Indiana looks unbelievable last week. Iowa at home. I think they keep this game close plus seven and a half. Auburn plus six and a half against A and M. Another one where it's like, how is Auburn going to respond? I think the way they lost is not so much crushing and maybe more motivating like we won that game.

[B]

I also, I also have Auburn and I think it's, it's, it's my theory of you just played maybe the best defense in the country in Oklahoma and now you're going to play a defense that's not going to put like Texas AM's defense. Defense not that good. I think that changed too. Where they're. Yeah, they got sacked 10 times. It's not going to happen again.

[D]

Oregon plus three and a half at Penn State. I got Bama plus three and a half. Georgia over 52 and a half. Missouri minus 43 and a half. Against UMass.

[B]

Okay, my card. I am on Duke, Syracuse under 61 and a half. I think there's going to be a little bit of a slow start there. Early kickoff, Syracuse off a big win loss. Their starting quarterback, Iowa State minus six and a half. That's against Arizona. North Texas over 61 and a half. I'm going to keep betting North Texas overs until they don't hit. That's just a respect over TCU. Arizona State over 64 or 54 and a half. Auburn plus six and a half. Same reasoning as Dave Houston minus 13 and a half. Memphis FAU over 61 and a half. Bowling Green over 51. Toledo minus 21. Air Force minus six and a half. Stanford minus three. That's my card. And then I have my mortal. Oh, sorry. And Virginia plus seven. That's a Friday night game.

[D]

One game we didn't talk about. Maybe real. Do you think Mississippi State gives Tennessee a game plus eight and a half?

[B]

I don't know. That's like such a. I was looking at that game and it's like there's a couple.

[D]

Arizona, Iowa State. That's a tough one.

[B]

Yeah, I like Iowa State in that game. Yeah, that's a tough game. Mississippi State. I don't know. Are they for real? They might be. I mean like for real in terms of like a home crowded. Arizona State. All right, mortals.

[E]

Hank, I'm going Penn state. Oregon over 51 and a half.

[B]

Okay. Zupy.

[E]

Notre Dame minus the four and a half.

[B]

Okay. Ebo.

[E]

Virginia plus seven.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Arizona State minus three.

[B]

All right, I'm going to take Notre Dame and Texas A And m over 64 and a half or. Sorry, Notre Dame, Arkansas. My bad. Over 64 and a half. I think that game's going to have a ton of points. I don't know what defense is going to get a stop. Dave, you're mortal.

[D]

Yeah, I'm looking for. I have it written down and now I want to give some stats behind it. Now I can't fucking find it. Is everyone else gone?

[B]

Yep.

[D]

This game. Where the fuck is this game? Is Utah State Vandy this week?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Yeah, I love Utah state plus the 23 and a half. I don't know why I can't find it, but Utah State has one loss and it's to A and M and it was by 20 points. Everyone's slurping Vandy's dick. Utah State's not that bad of a football team. That's way too many points and I'd have more stats if I could find.

[B]

I Got more for you. This is Vandy's playing Alabama next week.

[A]

Love it even more.

[B]

Look ahead spot.

[D]

I love Utah State here.

[B]

Yeah, so that's, I don't know why.

[D]

I can't find this game on. What the fuck? Let me go to the conferences.

[B]

Utah State's plus 22 and a half.

[D]

Yeah, so that's my mortal. Oh, there it is. Okay. I was looking the wrong spot. Yeah. Utah State is 3 and 1. They're one loss. And by the way, they beat Air Force by 20. Who's not like a. The work. They're a real program. A and M, they lose by 20 in week one at A and M. This game is good. We're not crowning Vandy a national champion quite yet. I don't think 20, 22 points is a lot.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. They killed. They killed Air Force.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Good show, boys.

[D]

My, my, I would give my best money line is Alabama. I think they beat Georgia.

[B]

Are we doing Moneyline?

[A]

Rico didn't run it back. Yeah, you got one, Dan?

[B]

Yeah. Kentucky.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Add Kentucky to my, to my, to my card too. I think plus five and a half to play in South Carolina.

[D]

Yeah. The quarterback's playing, right?

[B]

He is, but he hasn't been playing well.

[D]

No, no, I, I, I don't hate it. Kentucky played somebody pretty tough. They didn't cover. Who was that?

[B]

They played. No, they did cover against Ole Miss.

[D]

Ole Miss?

[B]

Yeah. Remember that was. Lane apologized for that.

[D]

Yep, Yep, yep, yep.

[A]

14 that game.

[D]
