00:00It's Arizona and BYU. The Cougs early in the week, a three and a half point home

00:11favorite in Provo where they have been great. Now it's down to only two and a

00:16half. Arizona has been disappointing. One and two straight up this year against

00:19Power Conference competition. BYU is one of 12 remaining undefeated teams. Five

00:24and O straight up. One of those three remaining unbeatens that is also perfect

00:28against the number. Five and O ATS. And I'm sorry to say this, Human Algo, but we

00:33see it the same way today. I think the Cats pull off the upset in Provo. I'm

00:37with you. We talk about speed teams potentially challenging BYU secondary

00:42over the top and that's what Noah Fafita and more importantly the big play wide

00:46receiver McMillan have. Struggle with a pretty good defense in Texas Tech. They

00:50contain them. I think this is a breakout spot. I liked it at five and a half. Still

00:55like it at two and a half. I think they win the ballgame outright, Ben, and I

00:58think BYU does have one loss on the year. I want to make a point on this game. So

01:03to me, this is the first time that BYU has been respected by the books. Yeah.

01:09Yeah. K-State showed up. That number closed over a touchdown in the building.

01:13They go to Baylor. They're catching I think three and a hook. Right. So now

01:17they're laying a number. It is pretty interesting that the first time it's

01:21like, wow, the books really like BYU. It's two and a half at home where you

01:26never lose off of a buy. BYU is giving me, and I want to be very careful here

01:31because of how far the team went, 2022 TCU vibes. Not that they're gonna make it

01:36the national title, but that TCU team spent the whole season where it's like,

01:41man, see, the books hate TCU. Ooh, TCU's a fraud. And then they just sneak out of

01:46cover. Sneak out of cover. Random really good game. Told you they're great. Sneak

01:51out of cover. Yeah. I, again, if you were to say, hey, BYU, Arizona, close your

01:56eyes. What do you like? Well, I like Arizona. I'm catching six. Yeah. Two and a

01:59half. Well, yeah. I can't. If you like BYU, jump on it because this is a great

02:04number. I look at two and a half as almost like a pick, right? There's two

02:08points in college football and NFL. It's very rare. It comes down 21, 20, 22.

02:13College kicker is different. Different animal. Arizona really good as an

02:16underdog. Seven and one against the spread in the last two years. Four

02:20outright wins. Noah Fafita has to be better. We remember the first game of

02:24the year, four touchdowns and interception against New Mexico in the

02:28four games since. Three touchdowns only to five interceptions. Last week,

02:33though, on display again, Fafita and McMillan, 301 yards against Texas Tech,

02:38albeit two interceptions. A buck 61 to TMAC, to Teneroa McMillan, who has 49%

02:44of the overall yardage output for Fafita this year. I do want to follow

02:48with this and then we'll go right into our betting cards back to the

02:51mastermind. BYU is 28 and three straight up in prime time in nighttime

02:56hours in matchups. It did not get them in Waco, but they are only 10 and 14

03:02straight up when the sun is shining. This is not 10 15 p.m. Eastern time.

03:07It's four p.m. Eastern time. Part of the handicap for Zona as well. Again,

03:11big game. Best bets in the final two segments. So, Lisa, you got everything

03:15else on the betting slate for week seven. Yeah, so I'll jump right into

03:19that Oklahoma game. I like Oklahoma in regards to plus 14.5 in regards to

03:25the matchup. I just like the quarterback breakdown in regards to

03:29Hawkins and I like the defense. Uh, we're Brent Venables in this matchup.

03:34I know why he's laughing because I went with Florida to write Florida. I

03:38like Florida plus the 15.5 in regards to this matchup as well. We talk

03:43about Florida in regards to the series seven of eight over the past

03:47eight years and they won last year. I like Graham Merckx, Laguard that gets

03:50involved in Billy Napier to me now down to 14.5 playing with house money.

03:55They get the victory over UCF. I like the way the way the defense has

03:59performed. I think the Gators could be live potentially to strike the upset.

04:04We'll see how that plays out in regards to that matchup.
