00:00Look at these, uh, three max in games tonight.

00:07You got Kent at Miami of Ohio.

00:10They're laying 31, Ken States, oh, and nine, uh, Eastern Michigan's getting 11 and a half

00:16at Ohio.

00:18That's an actually a decent game.

00:20And then Akron's at NIU getting 14 and a half.

00:24These Mac games are a lot funner or at least like one of them will be fun per night.

00:29Like unlike the conference, USA was rough.

00:31Remember Scott, we were talking about those 14, five, Sam Houston state, middle Tennessee

00:35state games.

00:36It's like, dude, man, there's more, there's more points in a soccer game than there is

00:41in your football games.

00:42And it's not because you have good defense, just bad football.

00:45Um, so last night ball stayed at Buffalo was an epic, crazy day, man.

00:50The Buffalo bulls came back.

00:52They needed a two to score late.

00:53They got the two, they wanted overtime, they're bowl eligible.

00:57So a fun moment last night in Amherst, New York, outside of Buffalo, um, similar situation

01:03tonight, Scott.

01:04And I gotta be honest with you.

01:05I don't understand the point spread in this one tonight with Eastern Michigan and Ohio.

01:09Yeah.

01:10You were good.

01:11I do.

01:12You were good.

01:13There are five and four football team.

01:16They're one.

01:17And it matters to the Mac.

01:18Yeah.

01:19These teams, they're one way away from a, from bowl eligibility right now.

01:22And Scott, there's seven and two against the spread.

01:25If they're in every football game they play or they win, they, you know, they, they, they've

01:30lost two in a row.

01:31They lost 29, 28 and 25, 21.

01:35Those are the two losses that they just lost.

01:38Very close games, very competitive football team.

01:41Ohio don't blow teams out.

01:42This is a little bit, I know that they blew out Buffalo and Kent state are terrible, but

01:47I didn't go higher.

01:48Just getting a little bit overpriced to your Eastern Michigan or a scrappy team, a great

01:53underdog over the years that have just continues.

01:55I don't understand the double digits in, in that game.

01:59The next one here, I do understand the double digits, right?

02:03Like, you know, there's, there's going to be a live dog and night in, in, in the Mac,

02:07but there's also going to be blowouts.

02:08We saw last night, Toledo just murdered a central Michigan.

02:12And I sort of get the same feeling here, guys, you look like you look at Akron or two and

02:17seven football team, but they do get punched in the mouth, right?

02:21Like they're, they're only three and six against the spread.

02:24They have played better football as of late, but Northern Illinois, as we talk about much

02:29better than their five and four record.

02:31We saw them last week, dial it up a notch.

02:33They're not even bowl eligible considering they beat Notre Dame already, Scott.

02:37So that's the underdog that I don't want to touch tonight.

02:40I think NIU, when the game for the record, though, I don't love laying 14 points.

02:45I think the over here, guys, 43 and a half is far too light.

02:49Northern Illinois games are getting priced.

02:51Like it's the old school NIU that just used to run the ball with Rocky Lombardi, every

02:55play.

02:56They can throw the ball.

02:57They move the ball.

02:58This football team, we saw it last week.

03:00We've seen it the past couple of weeks.

03:02They hugged 42 on the board last week, the week before they scored 23.

03:06So I think this offense has woken up a little bit.

03:09Plus Akron can't stop anybody.

03:11So to me, the best bet in this game, guys, forget about laying the points of just like

03:15the solid best bet in this game to me, is the over 43 and a half.

03:21And like you said, Scott, this last one here, you got Kent State and Miami, man, Kent State

03:26are bad guys.

03:27Here's another one.

03:28They're 0-9.

03:29They're 2-7 against the spread.

03:31They're coming off a 41-0 loss last week to Ohio.

03:35The week before that, they lost at Western Michigan 52-21.

03:40So you see, they are capable of getting blown out like this.

03:44But with all that being stated, I don't want to lay 30 and a half points, Scott, with Miami.

03:50I'm not rich enough to do that, bro.

03:52I'm not rich enough to do that.
