00:00
I've already seen some shake up here in the top 25 without a doubt, top five, top 10 already
00:08
not looking like it did at the beginning of the season.
00:10
And I think some things will get sorted out tomorrow night as well.
00:12
Thanks for coming on.
00:13
Yeah, no question that Kansas State Arizona game is going to be a lot of fun.
00:19
I've had a lot of hard time reading this line because part of me believes yes, Arizona is
00:23
going to throw the ball around with the throw of McMillan for anybody who hasn't seen him
00:27
play.
00:28
I had 300 passing or 300 receiving yards a couple weeks ago.
00:32
But I feel this way, a little bit of a unfamiliarity factor.
00:37
They haven't been to Manhattan, Kansas State stops the run well, runs the ball well, six
00:42
and two against the spread at home last season.
00:44
And I know Arizona was a super dog.
00:47
But I feel like the Wildcats are going to do one of those moves where they're up by
00:51
six or seven and they get the late cover and make the better betters happy.
00:55
I like the wild.
00:56
I can't say Wildcats.
00:57
Both teams are named Wildcats.
00:58
I'm going to go with K-State here.
00:59
Yeah, under Snyder, K-State getting points through the years was just absolutely fantastic.
01:05
You know, so I mean, they are getting seven and a half here.
01:09
Generally speaking, Arizona not ranked a lot in the top 25.
01:14
And I would love the game if K-State wasn't ranked at all.
01:17
But the fact that usually the team that's not ranked at home taking on a ranked opponent
01:21
on the road is like money in the bank against the spread.
01:23
But that's not the case here.
01:24
By the way, total seems a little higher 58 and a half.
01:28
As you mentioned, McMillan's been fantastic.
01:29
Ten catches, 304 yards and four touchdowns in the first game.
01:34
Not as many catches second game, two for 11 and two touchdowns.
01:37
And by the way, I checked this over on FanDuel, not listed among the Heisman Trophy Award
01:42
candidates.
01:43
So, you know, certainly we'll keep an eye on it.
01:44
But he has odds, by the way.
01:46
I want to show you this, Bill.
01:47
I'm surprised.
01:48
It is.
01:49
He has prop odds on FanDuel.
01:50
80 plus yards is minus 182, 90 plus yards minus 128, 100 and above plus
01:58
108.
01:59
You know, I got to tell you, I did not watch the last game that they played very closely.
02:03
So I'm not really sure if he had targets or I mean, look, 300 is ridiculous.
02:09
But honestly, for a player like this under 20 is ridiculous, too.
02:12
So is it if it's somewhere in the middle, then you're going to make four to one on your
02:15
money plus 150.
02:16
What do you think?
02:17
Well, he had six targets in the last game, a little trouble connecting.
02:21
They didn't look really good against Northern Arizona.
02:24
And but for them to win this game, he has to have over 100 yards.
02:28
He has to make a couple of big plays in the passing game.
02:30
I like that prop there.
02:31
Yeah, I would go 100 yards because that would make this a shootout.
02:35
You mentioned the over.
02:36
I think it sneaks just under that one trend to watch in this game.
02:40
On the other side, Avery Johnson, this guy that was a Heisman sleeper, hasn't had huge
02:45
games because, again, their run the ball stopped.
02:47
The run hasn't taken a sack.
02:50
Kansas State is one of four power for quarterbacks who hasn't taken a sack.
02:54
And we're going to talk about another one here in a second.
02:56
But if Arizona can't get pressure on him and Kansas State gets what they want on offense,
03:01
they're going to win this football game.
