00:00
Yeah, these games typically are a little zany, right?
00:17
Like, I know you don't get to see these teams too often.
00:21
I always say to you, I think it's smart that Sunbelt and Conference USA, and when we get
00:26
later in the year, that Mack plays these games on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, because
00:31
would you ever see these teams on Saturday?
00:32
No.
00:33
No.
00:34
But there's a chance you're going to catch a little Frielas off state in Middle Tennessee
00:39
tonight.
00:40
I mean, anything's possible.
00:42
I mean, I feel like I've watched this New Mexico State team more this year than I have
00:47
in my entire life already.
00:49
They're taking on La Tech, and La Tech's 12-point favorite is now 11-and-a-half on the road.
00:55
You've got Middle Tennessee favored over Frielasaw, and Troy visiting South Alabama
01:02
in the Sunbelt.
01:03
South Alabama 11-and-a-half-point favorites with a 54-and-a-half total.
01:07
Yeah, I laid 10-and-a-half with Louisiana Tech.
01:11
I bet the under in the Frielasaw State game at Middle Ten, and I got it at under 51-and-a-half.
01:18
It's 50-and-a-hook now.
01:20
I'm seeing 49-and-a-hook at this very minute.
01:23
The game's at 8 on CBS Sports Network.
01:25
The 7-30 game is Troy and South Alabama, and I like South Alabama at home.
01:31
I think Troy looks awful this year, but I definitely, I bet the Louisiana Tech I laid
01:37
10-and-a-half.
01:38
It moved to 11-and-a-half now.
01:41
There you go.
01:42
Some college football action for you tonight.
01:45
Maybe the Yankees will, you know, get up 8-9, 10-11, nothing in that game against the Guardians,
01:51
and you want to flip over and check out some college football action.
01:54
You have it.
01:55
All right, we have ourselves a very big week in terms of heavy hitter matchups for this
02:01
Saturday in college.
02:02
I want to give you the first look at a few of these.
02:05
Alabama coming off the close call win at home against South Carolina.
02:10
Go to Knoxville to see Tennessee, who also coming off a close call overtime win over
02:16
Florida at home.
02:17
Of course, it is the third Saturday in October, 5-and-1 Alabama, 5-and-1 Tennessee.
02:23
Alabama right now, I know they got 2-and-a-half on the board there.
02:26
I'm also seeing threes at some spots, 56-and-a-half with Bama as the road favorite.
02:35
I got to tell you, they have, in my view, looked terrible the last two weeks.
02:40
I thought they looked terrible at Bryant-Denny on Saturday against South Carolina.
02:46
They literally almost blew the game.
02:48
They should have blown it.
02:49
They should have gone to overtime.
02:51
I thought South Carolina choked.
02:54
They had the game right there in their fingertips, and the quarterback threw the ball away.
02:59
Otherwise, you could have gone to overtime.
03:01
You never know what happens.
03:02
I think that everyone and their brother, because Tennessee somehow found a way to beat Florida
03:07
in Knoxville.
03:08
They had no business being that close with Florida.
03:12
Florida outplayed them all day in Knoxville.
03:15
I give Billy Napier credit.
03:16
His team outplayed Tennessee all day, and they lost.
03:19
I think Alabama is going to go in there and beat them.
03:22
I think everyone is betting on Tennessee to beat Alabama because Alabama lost to Vanderbilt,
03:28
could have lost to South Carolina, and people think they're weak and that they're vulnerable,
03:34
and that may very well be the case, but they are 5-and-1.
03:37
They keep finding a way, except for the game in Nashville, right?
03:41
So now it's a question of, can they cover by three?
03:45
They're laying two and a hook, but I have a sneaking suspicion that DeBoer and Alabama
03:49
show up in Knoxville, and that's a game on Saturday.
03:51
It's going to be a hell of a game.
03:54
It is going to be a hell of a game, and that, of course, is a 3.30 in the afternoon Eastern
03:58
kick there at Neyland.
04:01
The night game in the SEC is also a heavy hitter game, as Georgia heads to Austin to
04:09
see the Longhorns in the first real big game for Texas here against the old SEC guard.
04:15
I know they played Oklahoma last week.
04:16
They always play Oklahoma.
04:17
They played Mississippi State.
04:18
They suck.
04:19
Now they have Georgia coming to town to see them.
04:21
Texas, three-and-a-half point favorites, 56-and-a-half is the total in this one.
04:28
Man, Georgia, they already have been to Tuscaloosa.
04:31
Now they got to go to Austin and face Texas.
04:33
Yeah, and I mean, I thought they looked, besides back, I thought the rest of them looked average
04:40
against a real porous Mississippi State team that's done absolutely nothing, but they showed
04:46
up at Sanford Stadium in Athens and gave them a game.
04:50
Doesn't that, like, open anyone's eyes that Georgia might be overrated, like they haven't
04:56
done anything this year except struggle?
04:58
I'd say they lose in Austin to this Texas team.
05:01
This Texas team has everything, running game, quarterback, passing.
05:05
They got receivers.
05:06
They got speed.
05:07
They got talent on defense.
05:09
They have a defense.
05:10
They kicked Oklahoma's ass at the Cotton Bowl.
05:14
I think Texas handles their business against Georgia because they're playing that game
05:18
at Memorial in Austin, and that's that.
05:20
You know, Georgia, to me, they, I mean, they're not even handling their own business at home.
05:25
What were they laying, 32 and a hook?
05:27
They won by 10.
05:28
They haven't looked good to me at all.
05:30
I think their quarterback is good.
05:32
I think it'll be a good game, but I think yours and Texas' is a touchdown better than
05:37
Georgia.
05:39
Yeah, I think that game being in Austin also is a big factor here under the lights.
05:45
That crowd's going to be, as we always like to say, they're going to be gassed up there
05:50
in Austin.
05:51
They're going to get a lot of fuel in the tank with that being a night game down there,
05:56
so it'll be a very rowdy crowd.
05:58
Miami, haven't seen them the last couple weeks after they had a bye last week.
06:02
They are going to Louisville, of course, 6-0 the Canes, in to see the Cardinal.
06:07
They have four-and-a-half-point favorites here on the road, 61-and-a-half.
06:12
Very big total for us here in Louisville this game.
06:17
Yeah, Miami's not covering in this football game.
06:20
I think that they can win the game at Louisville.
06:23
I don't think they can cover and win by five.
06:26
I really don't.
06:27
This, to me, is a two or a three, possibly a one-point game.
06:31
Every game Miami plays that's tough, every game they play that's tough, the Viotek game,
06:36
the Cal game was brutally close.
06:39
They had no business beating Viotek.
06:41
They got lucky with a call.
06:43
Then they had no business down 35-10 at Berkeley, and they win 39-38.
06:48
This will be the same thing, a one or a two-point game with Louisville.
06:52
It's going to be close.
06:53
Louisville's tough.
06:54
Now, I know Louisville has lost at home, but they are tough.
06:59
This is their Super Bowl.
07:01
This is the only game they got left that matters.
07:04
Miami will have their hands full on Saturday at Louisville.
07:07
If they win, it's lucky.
07:09
They won't cover.
