00:02 - If I give a play, I'll play it,

00:05 but I don't really, I don't play every game

00:08 of every league every night.

00:10 And as I stated, the Nashville Predators are a hockey team

00:15 that I don't have like some sort of great track record with.

00:19 And I hate to say it because they play a lot

00:23 when we're on the air in the late night hours,

00:25 but the Vegas Golden Knights, if I bet on them, they lose.

00:27 If I bet against them, they win the Stanley Cup.

00:30 So they're one of these teams where I'm like,

00:33 you know, I don't win a lot when I play their games.

00:37 And Dave Malensky, the late great Dave Malensky,

00:40 may he rest in peace, a great guy,

00:42 but also one of the smartest people I knew

00:44 and smartest handicappers.

00:46 There's Nikolai Jokic at the Colorado Avalanche,

00:49 Vancouver Canuck game.

00:50 But he told me, he goes, you know what the big,

00:54 big mistake people make is they think they know everything.

00:59 And he basically said, he goes, it's impossible to know

01:02 everything about every college football team.

01:05 But he goes, people will pretend they do.

01:07 And he goes, it's impossible.

01:08 He goes, there's 128 teams and there's 90 kids

01:11 to 100 kids on each team.

01:12 He goes, how are you possibly gonna know the inner workings

01:15 of 130 teams?

01:17 He goes, focus on the conference or the teams

01:20 that you know well and stick with it.

01:23 And don't like dance with things that you don't know

01:26 so well.

01:27 And these leagues are big leagues, man.

01:28 You got 32 teams, 30 teams in these pro leagues and stuff.

01:32 You're not gonna be great with all of them,

01:35 except which ones that you do know

01:37 and hammer the hell out of it.

01:39 And except which ones, you know what?

01:42 I don't win when I bet on that team.

01:44 I know I'm wrong with that team.

01:46 I don't have a good feel for that team.

01:49 And everybody's gonna have a different list.

01:52 For me, I'll go over some of them, but Vegas.

01:55 And like I said, the two Vegas teams, you and LV, man.
