00:00Tennessee and Ohio State, Saturday night, 8 p.m. in the Horseshoe.

00:07Cold weather conditions, Tennessee and Knoxville, heads north here, the Orange versus the Red.

00:14Seven and a half is the number, Joe, it's over a touchdown as a favor towards the Buckeyes

00:17in a total of 46 and a half.

00:20I think overall there's more talent on Ohio State, but that doesn't mean they're going

00:23to win this football game.

00:24Joe, what are you saying?

00:26Yeah, well, we've seen a fluctuation in terms of the market, too, Donny.

00:30Sunday it opened up when they put out these college football playoff odds.

00:34We had eight and a half, we saw it go down as low as six and a half, and now more money

00:38coming in and buying back on Ohio State under a key number of seven, it'll be 22 degrees

00:44in terms of the forecast.

00:45Ohio State does have two top five wins over Penn State and Indiana.

00:50They're at home, more dominant at home than potentially they are on the road, but I'm

00:55still going to take the points with Tennessee.

00:57I understand the quarterback inconsistency, maybe with Nico, but that tempo with the rushing

01:02attack, I think could give the Ohio State defense some problems.

01:06They gave up a ton of yards to the Michigan rushing attack as well.

01:10When they lose games, I'm talking about Ohio State, they're allowing a lot of yards on

01:14the ground, and that's the MO of Tennessee.

01:16I don't think the cold weather bothers them.

01:18I'm going to strike the upset, give me the points and I'll take them outright, plus 220.

01:24Let's double down on this.

01:25If they do strike the upset, the Tennessee Volunteers, Ryan Day fired the next day.

01:28They said, hey, he's coming back, he can't lose two straight games like that.

01:33No, that night, I don't even think he makes it past the tunnel.

01:39They're going to be after him, and that's another factor why, when you think about this

01:43game, how tight he potentially can be if this is in the fourth quarter.

01:48That could be a big problem for Ryan Day.

01:51He has not called a great game plan in critical matchups, so I'll take the points with the

01:55more loose team, and Josh Heupel, I think in an offensive mind, he'll have his team

01:59prepared.
