00:00Yeah, these games typically are a little zany, right?

00:17Like, I know you don't get to see these teams too often.

00:21I always say to you, I think it's smart that Sunbelt and Conference USA, and when we get

00:26later in the year, that Mack plays these games on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, because

00:31would you ever see these teams on Saturday?

00:32No.

00:33No.

00:34But there's a chance you're going to catch a little Frielas off state in Middle Tennessee

00:39tonight.

00:40I mean, anything's possible.

00:42I mean, I feel like I've watched this New Mexico State team more this year than I have

00:47in my entire life already.

00:49They're taking on La Tech, and La Tech's 12-point favorite is now 11-and-a-half on the road.

00:55You've got Middle Tennessee favored over Frielasaw, and Troy visiting South Alabama

01:02in the Sunbelt.

01:03South Alabama 11-and-a-half-point favorites with a 54-and-a-half total.

01:07Yeah, I laid 10-and-a-half with Louisiana Tech.

01:11I bet the under in the Frielasaw State game at Middle Ten, and I got it at under 51-and-a-half.

01:18It's 50-and-a-hook now.

01:20I'm seeing 49-and-a-hook at this very minute.

01:23The game's at 8 on CBS Sports Network.

01:25The 7-30 game is Troy and South Alabama, and I like South Alabama at home.

01:31I think Troy looks awful this year, but I definitely, I bet the Louisiana Tech I laid

01:3710-and-a-half.

01:38It moved to 11-and-a-half now.

01:41There you go.

01:42Some college football action for you tonight.

01:45Maybe the Yankees will, you know, get up 8-9, 10-11, nothing in that game against the Guardians,

01:51and you want to flip over and check out some college football action.

01:54You have it.

01:55All right, we have ourselves a very big week in terms of heavy hitter matchups for this

02:01Saturday in college.

02:02I want to give you the first look at a few of these.

02:05Alabama coming off the close call win at home against South Carolina.

02:10Go to Knoxville to see Tennessee, who also coming off a close call overtime win over

02:16Florida at home.

02:17Of course, it is the third Saturday in October, 5-and-1 Alabama, 5-and-1 Tennessee.

02:23Alabama right now, I know they got 2-and-a-half on the board there.

02:26I'm also seeing threes at some spots, 56-and-a-half with Bama as the road favorite.

02:35I got to tell you, they have, in my view, looked terrible the last two weeks.

02:40I thought they looked terrible at Bryant-Denny on Saturday against South Carolina.

02:46They literally almost blew the game.

02:48They should have blown it.

02:49They should have gone to overtime.

02:51I thought South Carolina choked.

02:54They had the game right there in their fingertips, and the quarterback threw the ball away.

02:59Otherwise, you could have gone to overtime.

03:01You never know what happens.

03:02I think that everyone and their brother, because Tennessee somehow found a way to beat Florida

03:07in Knoxville.

03:08They had no business being that close with Florida.

03:12Florida outplayed them all day in Knoxville.

03:15I give Billy Napier credit.

03:16His team outplayed Tennessee all day, and they lost.

03:19I think Alabama is going to go in there and beat them.

03:22I think everyone is betting on Tennessee to beat Alabama because Alabama lost to Vanderbilt,

03:28could have lost to South Carolina, and people think they're weak and that they're vulnerable,

03:34and that may very well be the case, but they are 5-and-1.

03:37They keep finding a way, except for the game in Nashville, right?

03:41So now it's a question of, can they cover by three?

03:45They're laying two and a hook, but I have a sneaking suspicion that DeBoer and Alabama

03:49show up in Knoxville, and that's a game on Saturday.

03:51It's going to be a hell of a game.

03:54It is going to be a hell of a game, and that, of course, is a 3.30 in the afternoon Eastern

03:58kick there at Neyland.

04:01The night game in the SEC is also a heavy hitter game, as Georgia heads to Austin to

04:09see the Longhorns in the first real big game for Texas here against the old SEC guard.

04:15I know they played Oklahoma last week.

04:16They always play Oklahoma.

04:17They played Mississippi State.

04:18They suck.

04:19Now they have Georgia coming to town to see them.

04:21Texas, three-and-a-half point favorites, 56-and-a-half is the total in this one.

04:28Man, Georgia, they already have been to Tuscaloosa.

04:31Now they got to go to Austin and face Texas.

04:33Yeah, and I mean, I thought they looked, besides back, I thought the rest of them looked average

04:40against a real porous Mississippi State team that's done absolutely nothing, but they showed

04:46up at Sanford Stadium in Athens and gave them a game.

04:50Doesn't that, like, open anyone's eyes that Georgia might be overrated, like they haven't

04:56done anything this year except struggle?

04:58I'd say they lose in Austin to this Texas team.

05:01This Texas team has everything, running game, quarterback, passing.

05:05They got receivers.

05:06They got speed.

05:07They got talent on defense.

05:09They have a defense.

05:10They kicked Oklahoma's ass at the Cotton Bowl.

05:14I think Texas handles their business against Georgia because they're playing that game

05:18at Memorial in Austin, and that's that.

05:20You know, Georgia, to me, they, I mean, they're not even handling their own business at home.

05:25What were they laying, 32 and a hook?

05:27They won by 10.

05:28They haven't looked good to me at all.

05:30I think their quarterback is good.

05:32I think it'll be a good game, but I think yours and Texas' is a touchdown better than

05:37Georgia.

05:39Yeah, I think that game being in Austin also is a big factor here under the lights.

05:45That crowd's going to be, as we always like to say, they're going to be gassed up there

05:50in Austin.

05:51They're going to get a lot of fuel in the tank with that being a night game down there,

05:56so it'll be a very rowdy crowd.

05:58Miami, haven't seen them the last couple weeks after they had a bye last week.

06:02They are going to Louisville, of course, 6-0 the Canes, in to see the Cardinal.

06:07They have four-and-a-half-point favorites here on the road, 61-and-a-half.

06:12Very big total for us here in Louisville this game.

06:17Yeah, Miami's not covering in this football game.

06:20I think that they can win the game at Louisville.

06:23I don't think they can cover and win by five.

06:26I really don't.

06:27This, to me, is a two or a three, possibly a one-point game.

06:31Every game Miami plays that's tough, every game they play that's tough, the Viotek game,

06:36the Cal game was brutally close.

06:39They had no business beating Viotek.

06:41They got lucky with a call.

06:43Then they had no business down 35-10 at Berkeley, and they win 39-38.

06:48This will be the same thing, a one or a two-point game with Louisville.

06:52It's going to be close.

06:53Louisville's tough.

06:54Now, I know Louisville has lost at home, but they are tough.

06:59This is their Super Bowl.

07:01This is the only game they got left that matters.

07:04Miami will have their hands full on Saturday at Louisville.

07:07If they win, it's lucky.

07:09They won't cover.
