00:00But we do have six games, I believe it is tonight.
00:06Let's start with some of these Lehigh Visiting Army up there.
00:11As you make the majestic trip up the parkway to West Point tonight, if you're in the New
00:15York area, why not?
00:17Heavy lumber here too, 31 and a half, actually down a little bit from earlier.
00:22You have Oklahoma laying the 42 against the Owls at home in primetime.
00:30And FAU visits Michigan State as well, minus 13 now for Sparty with that 44 and a half.
00:38And as we were mentioning yesterday, Joe, that of course was the kid on Michigan State
00:41who told everyone to take the over tonight in that game.
00:45So I guess we got to listen to him, right, Joe?
00:47Do we listen to the kid?
00:48We take the over in Michigan State and FAU?
00:52Listen, you could, but this is a player of mine here tonight.
00:56I laid it with Michigan State, Florida, Atlantic, not too far down the road for me.
01:04It's the second year for Coach Tom Herman, and this is not good.
01:09They've got a total of three starters coming back from a year ago.
01:15Not good here.
01:16Their offense is less than average.
01:19They didn't add anybody in the transfer portal that's going to move the needle.
01:25And they are going to struggle much like they struggled last year.
01:27And I'll tell you this, they did add at Michigan State when you bring over, you know, Jonathan
01:33Smith, the Oregon State coach, he brings his OC over.
01:37They brought the quarterback from Oregon State over, Chiles.
01:41This is going to be a much improved Michigan State team on both sides of the ball at home.
01:48A new era looking to make a, like you said, the boosters, they're looking to make a point.
01:54This is blowout written all over it for Michigan State.
01:57Make no mistake about it.
01:58And team total over may not be a bad play either.
02:02I'm with you, Joe.
02:03I think that Jonathan Smith's a really good head coach.
02:06I think it's a little higher for Michigan State.
02:08I don't think he's going to, you know, the first year, maybe in big 10 play is going
02:12to be great.
02:13That might take a year or two before that starts to move.
02:16But a home game to start the year, primetime at night under the lights against an FAU team,
02:22like you just said, not very good.
02:25Really good opportunity for him to make some people happy in his first on-field performance
02:30as the head coach for the Sparty.
02:32So I like it a lot.
02:34And I think Oklahoma, Joe, I think they can get that over by themselves tonight.
02:39I had Oklahoma, my numbers have Oklahoma.
02:44If the starters were to play the full game, I have them by 54.
02:51And I still think that, yeah, I still think that even the backups are going to be a million
02:57times better.
02:58The backups are going to add a lot of points in this game, Garver.
03:02So yes, a lot of points for Oklahoma tonight.
03:05I'm with you there.
03:06Elon visits Duke.
03:08You're going to think I'm nuts, Joe.
03:09And at least he thinks I'm nuts.
03:11I think Duke made a really good hire with Manny Diaz.
03:15I like Malik Murphy, who's going to be their quarterback this year, who came over from
03:19Texas.
03:20I think this is like, with Jonathan Smith, this is a squash job tonight.
03:23I think they're going to smash Elon at home.
03:26Duke wasn't that bad the last couple years under Elko.
03:29I know they lost a few guys, but I think this is a nice spot for Manny Diaz, who dealt with
03:33so much pressure as the Miami coach.
03:35I think he's a good coach.
03:36A lot less pressure in Durham with Duke, and he gets it done tonight.
03:40You have Wisconsin, you mentioned yesterday about Fickle needing to get off on the right
03:44foot at home against Western Michigan.
03:46And TCU and Stanford, late night, under the lights in Palo Alto, down to eight and a half.
03:53This was around 10, like a week or two ago, Joe.
03:56Yeah, money is rolling in.
03:58I mean, you mean Manny Diaz, the Temple head coach?
04:01Oh, no, Miami head coach.
04:03No, you're right.
04:04Yeah, Temple, then Miami.
04:05Yeah, right.
04:06Yeah, I do.
04:08I think he's perfect for Duke.
04:10I don't think he was perfect for Miami as a head coach, but I think you're right.
04:15They'll have some pieces and they'll beat up the lesser-thans all year long here.
04:20TCU and Stanford is an interesting one, especially with the market movement.
04:24I actually have the over in this one because both of these offenses are going to be much
04:30improved here.
04:31You got a sophomore now and Josh Hoover coming back for TCU.
04:36We always know that guys that get playing time as a freshman, that sophomore jump, it's
04:41usually a pretty good one.
04:43That offense is going to be pretty good.
04:44And the same thing with Stanford.
04:46Stanford has got some guys on offense returning a lot of guys.
04:50They're going to be able to score on a terrible TCU defense still.
04:53I think the over has got a lot of value in this one here.
04:57It's come down a little bit, but it wouldn't shock me if this thing lands in the sixties
05:01at all.
