00:00Uh, tell me about Rutgers.

00:05Not only they start the games on Thursday night, but you have a, a big bet on their

00:10wind total.

00:12That's right.

00:13Let's show some love for RU, for all the Rutgers alum out there.

00:16Listen, his football team won seven games last year.

00:19Sorry, Scott.

00:20They beat the Hurricanes actually in the bowl game.

00:22Sorry.

00:23Sorry.

00:24But I like teams and look at Georgia Tech guys, Georgia Tech won their bowl game, carried

00:28over.

00:29It doesn't matter.

00:30When people watch these bowl games at the end of the year and they go, it doesn't matter.

00:32It does for certain programs that are trying to build something.

00:36So I'm just stating, they won seven games last year.

00:38You got a six and a half wind total this year for RU and it's, it's minus 150, minus 145

00:45to the over.

00:46So you have to lay some juice to get to seven winds.

00:48It's all about their schedule.

00:49Number one, Rutgers are good.

00:51All right.

00:52Rutgers, their defense is freaking nasty.

00:54They've got, I know they just lost Tore, one of their top, their defensive captain,

00:59but they're pretty deep, Scott, on the defensive line, this football team.

01:03Chiano's an old school, like, let's knock their head off type of coach and the Rutgers

01:08camp has been very violent and physical.

01:11Like they're ready to crack some heads, this football team.

01:13They have one of the best running backs in the country.

01:15They have a potent offensive line.

01:18Quarterback plays a problem for them.

01:19So their quarterback play was mediocre last year and they brought in a kid from Minnesota,

01:25Kaliak Manis, the Greek kid.

01:27He's average and I'm being nice.

01:29All right.

01:30He can run around a bit.

01:31We'll see if he's better with Rutgers right now.

01:33So Rutgers quarterback play, if they can get some, if they, if this kid can throw the ball

01:37a bit, cause he can scramble.

01:38If he can throw the ball a bit, they, you know what I mean, they'll win more games,

01:42but it's all about Rutgers schedule guys.

01:45Rutgers do not play Michigan.

01:47They do not play Ohio state.

01:49They do not play Penn state.

01:51They don't play Iowa.

01:53They don't play Oregon.

01:55Are you guys even in the big 10?

01:57Like really?

01:58I tell you, Scott, it's like Rutgers, Rutgers got the PAC 12 schedule.

02:04It's almost like Rutgers got set to the PAC 12.

02:07Rutgers plays Washington.

02:08They play UCLA.

02:09They play USC.

02:10Like, you know what I mean?

02:12They get all these new West coast teams while they, they dodge all the perennial powers.

02:17I'm not saying going to USC is going to be easy for them, but that's a pretty good schedule,

02:22Scott.

02:23Like when you're in the big 10 and you can say, yeah, we don't play Michigan.

02:25We don't play Ohio state.

02:27We don't play Penn state.

02:28We don't play the Oregon ducks and we don't play the Iowa Hawkeyes this year.

02:32No reason why this Rutgers team doesn't get to at least seven.

02:37They got to six last year.

02:38I said seven.

02:39They got to six as the bowl game doesn't count for the wind total.

02:42So let's call them seven and five in a regular season.

02:46You over six and a half wins.
