00:00We have the updated CFB markets off of another pretty fun weekend of college football.

00:11Oregon and Texas are the two biggest locks on the board right now.

00:16Texas sitting at the same number as Oregon because they're field goal and a half favorites to Georgia.

00:25There's no way I'm not on Georgia. There's no way.

00:30Again, nobody's beaten Kirby for a long time that wasn't Alabama.

00:36We'll see how good this Texas team is.

00:39I will say it's funny. I have been beat up though this year routinely betting against Texas.

00:46Michigan, UTSA, and this past week with Oklahoma.

00:55You would think I'd learn my lesson.

00:58I truly could see due to the fact that there are certain teams that you just have to tip your cap to.

01:07Clemson games I have to pull back.

01:12Every time I look at Clemson, I'm like, my total looks too high.

01:16Or maybe I could have grabbed some points.

01:19I just back off with the Clemson games.

01:21I realized the first two, three weeks I was trying to get involved with the Clemson games.

01:25I realized I just didn't have it.

01:27I didn't with Clemson.

01:29I'm kind of in disbelief at how that offense looks.

01:33They're a favorite now to make the playoff, by the way, Clemson, minus 170.

01:38What I'm saying is don't be surprised if a Georgia team totals the best bet or a Texas team total under.

01:45You know what I mean?

01:47I like Georgia in the game, but as somebody that has lost all of these Texas spreads,

01:55I might need to shift to another market kind of thing.

02:00That's the way I'm seeing that.

02:03What's interesting, though, if you kind of look right now up and down the make-miss market,

02:11is Alabama off of a win plummeting.

02:17Talk about Alabama to miss.

02:20They were minus 600 on one book to make.

02:22We were able to get plus 400 to miss.

02:26They're now minus 350 to make in one spot.

02:30Well, if they lose to Tennessee this coming weekend, which is very on the board,

02:36it's a tight number, one of the best games of the week.

02:38Bama is a two-and-a-half-point favorite.

02:41Tennessee has been struggling lately.

02:45They lose to Arkansas, and then they have the game against Florida at home where they go into overtime

02:51and win that game, walk-off touchdown by Dylan Sampson, three in the game.

02:56If Bama loses, you're talking maybe even money to make.

03:03They'll have really tough games remaining.

03:06It'll be their second loss in three games.

03:10You start to outweigh a lot of the greatness that was that win against Georgia

03:14that shot that team up to number one in the country.

03:19So that, to me, is one interesting note.

03:23Here's another one, how little the books believe in LSU.

03:28And I don't know, man.

03:32LSU beats Ole Miss, and the books clearly didn't believe in LSU going into that game.

03:40They positioned them in that game as an underdog of three-and-a-half points

03:47despite Death Valley largely being impenetrable.

03:51Ryan Kelly's been incredible with the home field advantage at LSU since taking over that program.

03:58And we saw LSU able to pull off a great comeback win and win it in overtime.

04:09Well, the books, unimpressed.

04:12They're only two-and-a-half-point favorites.

04:14The team that is eighth in the AP poll, that's higher than they should be,

04:19but, again, nevertheless, a team that is eighth in the AP poll

04:24is a two-and-a-half-point favorite against an unranked Arkansas.

04:31Upsets could possibly be looming.
