00:00So, of Cal Wake, Bryce Memphis, Iowa UCLA, New Mexico, San Diego State, who do you like?

00:13Any of those?

00:14Yeah, let's start off with Cal and Wake Forest.

00:17Listen, Cal started off the season, all these Cal games are close all the time, number one.

00:23But they started off the season, they were winning some football games, and then they

00:28had the heartbreaking loss to your Miami Hurricanes.

00:32They had a really close loss to Florida State, and it just sort of snowballed from there.

00:38And the fact of the matter is, we're talking about two teams here with identical records

00:45that are both really battling hard for a bowl position right now.

00:49We've seen, Scott, teams from the Big Ten and the Pac-12 that are in these new conferences,

00:55they don't do well when they travel across the country.

00:58It's like, especially in the Big Ten, the Big Ten teams are getting lit up.

01:02So Iowa's in that spot tonight, all right?

01:05As far as they're just getting killed when they travel, they're not used to it.

01:09So here's another long road trip for Cal, where I'm going with this is, Wake Forest

01:13are a live dog tonight.

01:14I think Wake Forest can win this football game outright.

01:17I don't have to get that bold, I'm getting seven and a half points, but they are plus

01:20225 on the money line.

01:22Wake Forest have won three of their last four football games.

01:25Meanwhile, Cal have lost three of their last.

01:27They're going in different directions right now.

01:30I don't understand the spread here.

01:31It's like, I don't see any major injuries, Scott.

01:35I was even on the Wake Forest, you know what I mean, Beatwriters page.

01:40I looked up everything I could.

01:42I'm like, what am I missing about this?

01:44Give me Wake Forest plus the seven and a half.

01:46And here's something too that people probably would have, a casual fan would have realized,

01:50but the Iowa Hawkeyes are the best over team in the country this year.

01:54They're eight and one Teddy over, right?

01:57The Iowa Hawkeyes, this team scores points, right?

02:01And their totals, the public doesn't really bet it.

02:03They don't believe that Iowa games are going to go over, so you always get these moderate

02:06numbers.

02:07Listen, UCLA's offense is pedestrian, but without being stated, they can get into the

02:13mid 20s.

02:14They've been getting into the mid 20s against people.

02:16This is a fun game tonight, guys.

02:18An Iowa team can get away from UCLA late.

02:22I can see this game being close and then maybe there's a pick six or something and Iowa pulls

02:26out a late cover.

02:27And you know, Scott, these Hawkeye fans are going to move, they're going to go to LA tonight,

02:31right?

02:32They're going to enjoy the nice weather.

02:33It's a Rose Bowl and they're going to have a nice weekend in California.

02:36So I expect a lot of Hawkeye fans there, but UCLA guys are three and five straight up.

02:41They're five and three against the spread.

02:43They're pretty scrappy team.

02:45I'll tell you what, look at the teams that they played, all right?

02:48Seriously, they played four top 10 teams, Scott, UCLA.

02:52They played your Hoosiers, bro.

02:54They went to LSU.

02:55They played the Oregon Ducks.

02:57They played Penn State.

02:59A lot of teams would be three and five if you had a UCLA schedule.

03:04I get the feeling, yeah, I get the feeling that tonight UCLA gives something to their

03:09home fans and pull off an upset, Scott.

03:12I'm taking the UCLA Bruins plus the seven and I'm not getting enough on the money line

03:17at plus 210 only, but I like the over 45 in this game too.

03:21Love the Georgia Bulldogs tomorrow to beat Ole Miss on the road.

03:25What about Bama LSU?

03:27Bama LSU, I'm going to be betting the over of that game.

03:31And you know what?

03:32I think LSU are probably going to pull it out.

03:34Bama are just, they're shaky.

03:35I'll just call it off where it is.

03:36I'm not a big Brian Kelly guy.

03:38He doesn't win big games either, but Alabama's defense are shaky enough here for LSU to get

03:44it done.
