00:00live right here on the early line. The opening week of this

00:05college basketball season does continue. Huge game tomorrow

00:10night. Top ten till in Lawrence, Kansas between the Jayhawks and

00:14the Tar Heels but elsewhere DRS before we get to Thursday or

00:18before we get to Friday, it is Thursday here in college hoops.

00:22We'll go around the country. One ranked team in action

00:25tonight in SEC territory. Number twenty-one Florida hosts

00:29Jacksonville. The number on the screen slightly outdated.

00:32Just how college basketball works by the time you reach the

00:34morning of these days of the actual games. Twenty and a half

00:39was the number. Florida now laying twenty-three and a half

00:42against Jacksonville and if you wanna keep it under twenty-four,

00:45you gotta pay some juice. It's minus 120. If you can get in

00:50early on non-conference college basketball games, heck, even

00:54conference college basketball games and the line works to

00:57your favor, it is always a very good sign. Sometimes when

01:00you see line and market movement DRS, you're like, okay,

01:04people are wagering on that a ton or maybe I'm getting a

01:06better of the number because I still feel very strongly. This

01:09is the right side in college basketball more than most. If

01:13the market moves, it is for a reason. Florida now a 23 and a

01:18half point favorite against Jacksonville tonight. Yeah, a

01:21lot of these teams really flex their muscles early in the

01:24season by absolutely hammering these teams that aren't as

01:26talented and we see it on a night-to-night basis last

01:28night. Hey, Sacred Heart goes to play, you know, UConn. Oh,

01:31this is a new UConn team. What are we going to get? A little

01:33bit sluggish to start. You saw the final score easily covering

01:36into the mid-thirties here. You get those sort of vibes today

01:38from Florida and Jacksonville. The only good thing I guess is

01:40Jacksonville's not too far away from Florida where they're

01:42playing. So, it's not as if they had to travel 500, 600

01:45miles just to get to town. So, maybe there's that but it's

01:48hard. Like in action last night, I can look at some

01:50statistics because those guys have played a couple games and

01:52maybe catch a bat. It's very hard for me to start the season

01:55where I don't do a lot of research on these teams just to

01:57try to take a flyer on players I don't know which is why Ken

02:00Palm is the single best college basketball betting source you

02:04can have but it doesn't work for me until January. It

02:08doesn't. What do you mean it doesn't work? Like you have

02:10like the numbers. There's not enough numbers. No. The perfect

02:14scenario for me is ten conference games being played.

02:17It's a very short sweet spot but they're really profitable

02:20because you can look at those statistics and go game by game

02:22and they're fantastic. Right. But it's hard to say those same

02:25statistics where Florida's going to be playing Alabama are

02:27the same as Florida versus Jacksonville. It just doesn't

02:29help me out that much. For sure, right? You have the power

02:33ratings and the projections of what Kenneth Pomeroy does and

02:36they are very sound. Just for instance, we know Florida's

02:39going to be a really good offensive team. Walter Clayton

02:41there for Todd Golden. It's how they're going to do things in

02:44Gainesville and they play at a fast tempo. Twentieth fastest

02:47right now in college basketball. Those numbers will

02:50become more secure of course as this season plays out.

02:53Certainly by the time we get to conference action. Total 153

02:56and a half. Florida did score ninety-eight in its season

02:59opener against South Florida. Of course a tough night for USF

03:02basketball after the sudden passing of their head coach

03:05Amir Abdul Rahim. So that was an interesting game. Florida

03:08did struggle early but they ended up winning by fifteen

03:11ninety-eight eighty-three. Multiple Big Ten teams in

03:15action for their second games of the year. Wisconsin hosts

03:19Montana State. Montana State has been a tournament team here

03:22as of late. In fact, their head coach Danny Sprinkle now in

03:27Washington. Sixteen and a half point spread in favor of the

03:30Badgers. Iowa a slow start but Peyton Sanford is going to be

03:33one of the best players in the Big Ten. He nearly had a triple

03:36double for the Hawkeyes in their opener. Twenty-four and a

03:39half point favorite against Southern. Michigan State big

03:42weekend and early next week on the horizon. Twenty-seven and a

03:45half point favorite against Niagara. USC and Eric Musselman.

03:50Ton of new players in LA of course under a new coaching

03:53staff. Twenty-three and a half point favorite in the Galen

03:55Center against Idaho State. So many games we got up there.

03:58What is it? Six total. I'm going to say you would go four

04:01and two worst case scenario laying the points in every one

04:05of those spots. What do you think about that? What do you

04:07think? I think that's right. I actually think that I think

04:09it's very fair, right? Yeah. It's tough, Donnie, right? To

04:12look at these numbers and say, oh. Yeah. Here's why I think

04:15Southern is going to keep it close against Iowa, right?

04:18Their style of play is going to limit what the Hawkeyes do.

04:22Sure, Iowa's defense is not whatever your reasoning might

04:25be. Yeah. The numbers are the numbers. It's going to sound

04:28really dumb like the standard is the standard. The numbers of

04:30the numbers right now in this portion of the season for a

04:34reason, right? We showed you some of the recaps of yesterday.

04:37There's going to be some monumental upsets like

04:39Villanova getting beat at home by double digits as a seventeen

04:42and a half point favorite. There are going to be some

04:46underdogs that cover like Lipscomb last night losing by

04:49sixteen as a seventeen point dog against Arkansas but more

04:53than likely Donnie's point is pretty sound. Connecticut was

04:57laying thirty-four and a half last night. They went by

04:59thirty-six. Rutgers was laying seventeen and a half last night

05:02against an NCAA tournament team in Wagner. They won that game

05:05by twenty-three, right? The edges are not monumental right

05:09now unless you really feel as though you have some. It

05:12probably makes sense to see hefty favorites and lay a

05:15couple of those prices.
