00:00Okay, so the line movement I've seen in all the games, this is the one that I've seen
00:08a little movement here, where Australia takes on Spain very early in the morning, overnight
00:145am.
00:15I believe Australia, if I'm not mistaken, was five and a half or six point favorites,
00:19but now on FanDuel, they're four and a half.
00:22So something is coming in on Spain, maybe that I don't, you know, you know more than
00:26me that I don't understand.
00:27So the total is 166 and a half.
00:30Admittedly, I know very little, Carlin, about these two teams, but I do look at the lines,
00:34and I'm seeing people backing Spain.
00:36What's the reason for that?
00:37Listen, I might have moved the line myself, personally, you know, I really and truly believe
00:42that Australia is going to be one of those teams that failed to live up to the expectations
00:46here at the Olympic Games.
00:48Traditionally, right, Australia is a very tough team, very tough minded, they have Paddy
00:52Mills, Joe Ingles, and then a bunch of other pro players and Matthew Delvedova, who was
00:56the ones who once in the NBA and starred in an NBA Finals guarding Steph Curry, like
01:01they have the ingredients for a team that should make a run in the Olympic Games.
01:04But I think this is the time where they're going to hit the reset button and fail to
01:08get to the knockout stage.
01:09So I would go Spain here, Spain is coming in off of a last chance tournament bid, where
01:14they were able to get in get past the Bahamas to finally punch their ticket to the Olympic
01:18Games.
01:19They've already played meaningful basketball games, right?
01:21Like some teams are playing pre tournament games, Spain was going through a pre tournament
01:25where they had to win the tournament just to make the Olympic Games.
01:27So they've already gone through the ringer a little bit and had that pressure.
01:31So this is nothing new to them.
01:32I'm backing Spain all the way, especially for giving me points.
01:35I mean, that's a little outrageous to me, and I would go big on this one, Spain should
01:39win this game outright, no question about it.
