00:00Welcome to the Beck UL Daily Boost, I'm Lucy Bird of Beck UL and I'm joined by Matt Horner
00:09and we have an NFL odds boost for all of you today for this weekend.
00:13This is on Justin Herbert and CJ Stroud to each have over 224 and a half passing yards
00:18boosted to plus 200 at Caesars, what do you think of this, Matt?
00:22Yeah, I mean, it's not totally unachievable here.
00:25It's probably going to be tough for both of these guys to be putting up tons of passing
00:29yards here.
00:30I actually bet the under in this game as well with the Texans.
00:34Passing yards, the Chargers defense is top 10, seventh in the league in terms of passing
00:39yards allowed.
00:40Texans, as well, surprisingly, sixth in the league against the past.
00:46So it's going to be tough for these guys to be lighting it up through the air, in my opinion,
00:51but you're getting two to one odds here.
00:53So, you know, if you want to put maybe like a quarter unit on it or something like that,
00:58it's probably not the greatest thing in the world, but it's definitely doable.
01:02I mean, it's not a ton of passing yards in the first place, 225 yards and both of these
01:06guys we've seen in the past light it up.
01:08So it's doable.
01:09But again, maybe like a quarter unit, it would be valid.
01:12Exactly.
01:13Love that.

01:52and at Lucille Burge favorite bets for today or this weekend or I'm going to this weekend.
01:57I'm going to the NFL and I'm taking the Ravens to cover.
02:01I see a lot of people on the Steelers because it's a big spread.
02:04It is nine and a half now, so I'm taking the Ravens minus nine and a half.
02:07Not that much of a difference.
02:08I had them at 10 too, but the Steelers have hit a bit of a skid.
02:12They have lost their last four.
02:14The Ravens have won their last four.
02:15They have also covered their last four.
02:18So like the Ravens to win this game even by two touchdowns, two touchdowns perhaps.
02:23So Ravens minus nine and a half.
02:25I like very much.
02:26It definitely could happen.
02:27I'm going to go to tonight's big game.
02:32They've got Penn State going up against my Notre Dame fighting Irish.
02:36Obviously I'm going to be rooting for Notre Dame.
02:38I hope they certainly win against Penn State tonight.
02:43But unfortunately, as somebody who also cares about his money and winning bets, I don't
02:49have a bias when it comes to betting at all.
02:53Everything that I've looked at in the betting market tells me Penn State is probably going
02:57to win the game, which stinks.
02:58I hate that.
02:59I can't stand it when I see that, but at the same time, I'm looking to make money here.
03:04So I took Penn State on the money line.
03:06One and a half is fine as well if you want that extra point there.
03:12Everybody's betting Notre Dame.
03:13People seem to love Marcus Freeman right now.
03:16They want to fade James Franklin in a big game that's monumental.
03:19You know, they'll go to the national championship if they win.
03:22And just people just don't seem to like Penn State and that just sickens me.
03:31So I'm betting I'm going with Penn State here to win the game tonight.
03:35Hopefully it can come through and win for us like Villanova did yesterday in college
03:40basketball.
03:42As we saw with that line, why was Villanova favorite?
03:45There was a reason they were favorite that game.
03:47They were going to win.
03:48Right.
03:49So and St. Louis also beat 14 and one St. Bonaventure now.
03:53That's right.
03:54Look at that.
03:55Yeah.
03:56So you just got to look at these college basketball lines and stuff.
03:58So Ohio State today, guys, their favorite against Oregon.
04:02There you go.
04:03There's an extra free bet.
04:04Why is Ohio State favorite against Oregon?
04:07There's a reason for it.
04:09So Ohio State's money line, that'll be an extra bet for you there.
04:12But Penn State as well.
04:13I love that.
04:14I, too, am rooting for Notre Dame.
04:17Of course, you know, your bet is great.
04:19But go Irish.
04:20I will gladly lose money.
04:21Like if Notre Dame wins, I will not be sad about it.
04:26But at the same time, I'm betting Penn State because it just seems to me in the betting
04:30market that that's the team to be on.
04:33But I won't be that sad.
04:34Yeah.
04:35So we will see.
04:36Very exciting day.
04:37Very exciting game.
04:38So go Irish.
04:39Get in on our odds boost.
04:40Plus 200 at Caesars.
04:41And in our bets, of course.
