Man, we will Penn stake. You know, we can talk about this SMU Penn State. Look like the offense from Penn State. They can't do any they can do the darn thing but that defense can do everything. Now, So teacher, let's go back to what you were just talking about Indiana and you're talking about, you know, all of these alumni and the boosters bringing he's talking about SMU SU. You know, back back back to football prominence. Uh. You know what if they go out here today and get and get blue out by Opitt, that's okay because okay, and it's not okay for Indiana. No, because SMU. I know, this is what I said. I believe SMU will continue to do well. I don't know if Indiana in the Big Ten will have another season like they've had. I don't know that now. Mark Cuban I believe, I can be wrong. I believe Mark Cuban is in Indiana alum and he's been helping out with the NIL. But from what I saw and read, SMU got three or four families that are billionaires and they're going to do whatever it takes.

And so SMU is a quarterback away, some line and skill guys away. But once people start to realize, because this is what these kids are doing now, they basically college football is like a minor league NFL. The portal is free agency. How much you're gonna pay me, No, no, no, let me see what I can get over here. That's what they're doing. And if SMU is.

Paying that type of money, gods are gonna go to SMU, no doubt about it. They gonna go to SMU, and they gonna win at SMU. Because we all know if you have good players, you have they chanced to be successful. And so nobody knew who SMU was, aside from the people in the Dallas area and the alumni. Theying in college football playoff today and so that's why I believe they do have an opportunity. Let me just say that they have an opportunity to do something like we got to download the Draft Kings sports Book GAP and use code up on game because Texas they're thirteen and a half point favorites over Clemson, and I really like that number. I don't like giving up thirteen and a half points, but I believe Texas is so good that I bet that myself. You gotta go download the Draft Kings sports Book GAP, use colde up on game, and if you want to, you can get in an action yourself. Thirteen and a half points. Take Texas. I believe they are going to molly wop the Clemson Tigers. But yeah, man, plex, I just feel like SMU has an opportunity. Now, SMU is not a marquee name, and so they're going to have to overspend initially, and once you start to see them win a little more regular then they probably can pull back a little bit. But what I read, man, they got one hundred million dollars donations for nil? Like what school has that one hundred million? What school has that?

I haven't seen any school say they got a hundred million nil fund? And maybe I read it wrong, but I know I read a hundred million was donated from billionaires. And so this is where college football is going. And I'm not gonna lie to you.

I like it.

And all these coaches, man, they they I don't they starting to annoy me. All these coaches that have gotten rich on the backs of these kids don't like the nil.

Why don't you like it? Because if a kid don't like his situation, he can leave and go get paid. Oh way, that sounds familiar. You didn't like your situation, so you went and got paid. But now the player can't do it because he is not helping you get paid. Any longer. That's why you don't like it. But when you left one school and went to the next school, why'd you do that Because you didn't like your situation. You wanted to be paid more. So when the kid does it, he didn't like a situation. He wants to be paid more. What's the problem, Because if it was good for you, why can't it be good for me? And everybody talks about all you know, our generation, you know, we had to fight through adversity and we had to go through this, and we had to go through that. If we had this, we all would have been in a portal. Stop playing. Stop acting like you wouldn't have been all these former players all yeah, man, I had to fight through adversity. I had to learn to do.

If we had this, we would have been doing the same thing these kids are doing in these coaches that acting like they hate it. You have done this time after time after time after time. But now that the player is doing what you guys have always done, it's becoming a problem. So me, I like it. Will there be some bad decisions made, Absolutely, there's gonna be bad decisions made. Just like when the coach leads and goes to a school. We shouldn't go through. It's a bad decision. Player will do the same thing. But ultimately we go to college to earn a degree so that we can get a profession and earn a living. These players are doing the same thing. It's just through the game of football. Everybody's not gonna make it to the league. But if you can make a few hundred thousand I'm playing college football and maybe more, you can possibly go buy you a duplex.

Now you got passive income coming and you and I, if you're smart, you get with the right people, you have more coming in. And so for that I see, I'm happy for them. I never hate on these young fellas because things change every year. When we were playing the older players like, oh my god, they make so much money. Now I look at the dudes like, man, this money is crazy. And in twenty years, the players of today are gonna be seeing the players twenty years from now I was making so much money.

This is what happens. This is what it is. I'm happy for these players. But I know this college football Playoff we will start to see more teams in it than we've ever seen before because of in il and I just believe SMU will be one of those teams that could quite possibly have staying power if their boosters and alumni and NIL donors do what I read they will do.

Yeah, I mean when you put it that way, I mean, it's pay to play. That's basically what we're leaning towards moving forward with it NIL stuff. So hey, if you got the bread, you can get the playoffs. Why not put them out there? Now? I believe the next game of the College Football Playoff? Are we doing up on game down on game with the College Football Playoff?

Bo or no?

No?

No?

I mean, well, okay, yeah, because I was gonna, you know, going to some picks and because I know Clemson Texas that's the next game.

And then we got Ohio State Tennessee so yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll we'll put those in there some NFL games. So whatever y'all decide to do, well, we'll roll with. But when when you.

Look at Tennessee Ohio State, that to me, that's a pick them game? Can know Ohio State that I believe it's favored by seven points? I'm I'm I'm somewhat biased because I've been knowing Nico Man since the I call him my boy.

And this Nico big as hell. But I've been knowing Nico since he was sixth seventh grade men his dad coached together at Long Beach. Probably Nick Big Nick has done the hell of a job raising his sons. So I'm biased, but that that's gonna be a game. Ohio State talent on paper, they don't have a weakness.

You know what, Ohio State is scary in this playoffs because they're nine and three football team. We all saw the game against Oregon, which I don't think that they that they lost. They won by basically a hoop, a loophole that organ found in the system and against them, and it didn't They didn't win that football game. And you look at the Michigan game. It was a top game all the way to the end. But it's like you said, man, from top to bottom. I think offensively and defensively, they have some of the best skill players in all the country. And all it takes is full team. Right now at this point in time to be playing the best football. Ohio State is not playing their best football far dude, plexical, Let me at bro Like, for the life.

Of me, man, I don't know what ryan they doing up in Columbus bro. There's just no way Number one, you should have lost in Michigan. I don't care what you say how you shouldn't have lost some Michigan. You're better at every position, right, There's just so much they gotta mess This quarterback from SMU boy, he playing about as bad as you can play. I'm sorry, Ohio State is loaded at every position. I just don't see how they lose a Tennessee. Quite possibly they could. I don't see how they gloss to Oregon. I don't see how they lost to Michigan. But they lose, I'll.

Tell you they what do you do living in one football team based off of you know, those games that we just spoke about. So that's why I say they're still very dangerous and they're still one of the best teams in this tournament, although that the record is not saying that, being nine to three. But if you're playing a high state football team and they get to play the brand of football that you know that they can play, you can't sit here and say that there are too many teams better than them, and they haven't been playing good over the last month. They haven't even scratched the surface of what this football team can be, especially with you know, we talk about some of these young talents. Jeremiah Smithfood's probably the best wide receiving all the college football right now, and he's just a true freshman, and so they just got to find a way to get it together. I believe today that basically Ryan Day's coaching for his job. I really believe that. You know, So, what does Ryan they have to do? Then? What does he have to do when he can't lose this game at home versus Tennessee versus he can lose that game Because he can't lose this game versus Tennessee that they they should win, and I think they should win pretty handily, and just coming off of the last game that they had obviously at home versus So yeah, you know Tennessee. You know, Tennessee has a top defense in two of the top binners in college football and man coverage, right, I understand that. So if he lose, if they are playing man coverage, I don't think there are too many cornerbacks in this country that can cover Jeremiah Smith one on one. SOHO State lose today, believe Tennessee volunteers, Randa, you're getting rid of Ryan Day, I think that he's coaching for his job today. If it's not make it out of the first round. I agree with you. I agree with the state will fire him. I agree with you. Like honestly, I'm gonna take it a step further when today, Boy, if you don't win the whole thing, you gone, like you have so much talent on this football team, Buffalo ed rushers is going to play in the National Football League. You gotta say if you got linebacker, you got corners, your receivers, your old lot like you probably have thirteen fourteen starters that are going to be playing in the National Football League, maybe more, and you can't win a college football playoff. Like to me, he has to win it all because you know how many You know, there's so many coaches that will go to Columbus with that talent and do work. They doing damage.

So let's see how it plays out, Ryan Day, I hope you feel that pressure.

You should feel that pressure on here. You bid it. You've been gifted a hell of a football team. You better go do something with it.

You better go do something with it, because I'm gonna do something with the best offense is a good defense.

Man, welcome back in up on Game. We're live from the Tyreck dot Com studios. I'm Tjhuschmann Zeta. That's Plexico Burs and we haven't talked a lot of roundball, little basketball. The Bucks did win the in season two ornament, so our boy Darvin Ham has never lost a game in the end season tournament fourteen to know that we won it with the Lakers wanted with the Bucks even though he's an assistant.

He undefeated. And so the state of the NBA.

You, Lebron is upset, the commissioner changing the format, and we got Lebron saying it himself. So let's listen to how Lebron feels the state of the game and where it is today.

You got to do something. Obviously, the last couple of years have not been a great All Star game that Sunday night. But I mean, listen, it's a bigger conversation. It's not just an All Star game.

It's ours. Our game in general.

Our game is it's a lot of three is being shot, so it's a it's a bigger conversation just an All Star game.

Yeah, so Lebron Commissioner Adam Silver, So let's just go back and kind of put some perspective on this, man, And I want to get your thoughts, because we we not just football players, man, We we love the game.

We just loved sports in general. So in when the Warriors won a championship in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, they shot just under thirty two three point thirty two to three point field goal attempts a game. At that time in twenty fifteen sixteen, that was number one in the league. If that was today, they would be.

Twenty ninth in the NBA and three point attempts a game twenty ninth. The Boston Celtics are shooting fifty one to three point attempts per game. You are a fan of the game of basketball. Obviously we grew up. You know they bringing the ball, putting the ball down low, you double team, you know we hit the open three. What do you think about how the NBA is today compared to how we grew up.

I mean, obviously, man, you know me being you know, forty seven, I came up in an era where you know, they had, you know, post players and big men and you know Kareem and you know shaq E Lajahwuon, you know all these you know, big men run the floor, Ralph Sampson and this era of basketball has really, you know, turned me away from watching it like I used to when I was growing up, even when I was playing. I mean when I was playing, you would come home and sit in it from the TV and watch you know TNT on Tuesdays and Thursday. You couldn't wait to get home to watch the basketball games. And it's just not what it is, you know, fifteen twenty years ago. Like like last season, I think was the first time I got an opportunity to really watch you know, cat play basketball on a consistent basis because they were in NBA playoffs playing against Denver and you know, uh, you know, in that Western Conference, and I didn't know that he was just a three point shooter because I had not really paid to a lot of attention to him, you know, until that point. But I'm just thinking that the guy is seven feet seven to one, he's a post player. You know, he's in there banging down load, getting dunkstowing sky hooks, rebounding, and it was the first time that I realized that just watching Minnesota Timberwolves play, they would run down the court and everybody was staying behind a three point line. And I'm saying, this is not basketball. Get the ball into the post, rebound, spend, get a layup, get a dunk. And those days are gone from basket ball because that was the time when basketball was what was fun to watch. You know, you get the ball into the post, they would kick out and shoot a three. Now the basketball game is just all threes. Just like you said, the Boston Celtics they live by die by the three point basket. If they're not making threes, they're not going to win. But they are making threes. So they're the best basketball team in the NBA right now because they make threes at a consistent high rate of from what they're shooting them. But just like he said, just to sit back and watch guys shoot three pointers all day, I'm not a real fan of that. I mean, it's nice when they go in. I get it. I understand. This is why you know guys like Yannis they dominate in the paint because you know, when he gets into the paint, nobody can stop him, and I love to see them get downhill and getting the paint dunk and all of those things. But you're just gonna shoot jump shots all day. I don't want to sit down and watch that. There's nothing special about, you know, being standing behind a three point line the whole offense. You got five guys on the offense standing behind a three point line. I mean, it's just not enjoyable to watch. And I agree with Lebron one hundred percent. But what are they going to do to change it? They're not gonna stop shooting threes because these rosters are not even built how they used to be fifteen years ago, when you get the ball into the post and you play off the post player, those days are they don't exist anymore. So they're going to keep shooting threes. That is basically the training for what these kids are doing now is shooting the basketball. That's all they care about, shooting threes, making threes, and that's how the kids are being taught and raised to play the football back the game of basketball right now. And it's really unfortunate. Yeah, you what is solution?

Because analytics has taken over the NBA, it's three point shots in layups.

Nothing in between. We don't want the mid range.

Even though guys like Richard Hamilton made a living in the mid range and Damar DeRozan a living in the mid those.

Shots are like, what are we doing type shots today? And so what is the solution? To me? The only solution is this, because they're they're gonna continue to shoot the three.

It doesn't matter what you do, you move it back, they gonna keep shooting. They shooting from half court anyway now like it's nothing. You literally are gonna have to allow defenses to be more aggressive, to play more aggressive, almost like when last year in the playoffs, they were kind of letting the guys get a little hands he pushed guys around kind of I wouldn't say the hand check the eighties and nineties, but you got to get back to some of that and then that would eliminate all the movement and guys just getting wide open shots.

Let guys play defense again, Let guys play defense. Let guys put hands on people to where it makes it a little harder to just get these wide open contesta shots, because if they don't, Like, I want a competitive game, but I don't want to game one fifty eight to one fifty three. That's not that's boring to me. I want a game like one oh five to one oh two, one hundred fifty. That's what I want to watch. But did you just see the Warriors loss by fifty one? I believe bo one hundred and forty four to ninety three. Yeah, like, come on, one hundred and forty four points, bro.

Like, So, to me, the only alternative, because there's no turning back from analytics in a three point shot, let guys play defensive basketball a little more aggressively, just a little bit.

Would you guys take away the corner three?

No, why would you do that? I wouldn't take away the corner three, illo, because it's a part of the game now. But what I would do is if when you take away the corner three, what do you mean so that line is gonna be there and it's not a three?

Yeah, there's a three point line just goes away from the corner.

It's just as kind of like, Okay, I get what you're saying.

Like that, I think that's the solution that the corner three is the easiest three pointer to make, So if you take that away, it's gonna make threes wonderful.

What are the percentages of corner threes being made in relation to the other threes? You guys know that guys, guys being added to rosters just to stand in the corner and take the threes. A three and D a corner three. So when they say three and D they mean the corner three and D. Go stand in the corner, and your job is it's like playing, It's like being a d H. Just stand in the corner and shoot three pointers. That's your job.

You might you might be on something with you take away that corner three, you might be on the something.

So what does that So what does that change? Taking away the corner three, even though it's the easiest three point shot to make on the basketball court, what does that do?

I mean, it probably disincentivizes just taking so many threes and kind of forces some teams it's like, well, we don't have a great three point shooter out of here. If we're gonna win games, we're going to have to just you know, try to actually you know, go to the paint. And then in the in turn, it means teams actually have to play some defense against them.

So so you mean, so so you're saying that there's basically going to be a half of a three point.

Arc pretty much, Yeah, that would be the idea.

Yeah to me, you just gotta let let them play defense. Like they went away from that because they felt like they didn't like the seventy nine to eighty four games. They didn't like that. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants games in the seventies.

But also an offense. And this is the point where analytics is kind of like, if you want to blame analytics for anything, it's that this idea that the mid range shot is inefficient nobody should be shooting it has really just screwed up a lot of teams. It's either it's either dunk or three point there's nothing in between, and that Yeah, the problem is is that, Yeah, because there's none of those mid range jumpers, you now no longer have to do defense either because either you're going to get fouled as a guy drives the basket or it's just a three point shot.

And I don't know, I know they need they do.

They have to figure something out because as a person that loves sports, and it's not just football, I love all sports, or not all sports, I love football, basketball, boxing, and baseball.

Those those at hockey, na, Nah, I don't watch hockey. You're not big on the wood chopping.

None of that. If it's on, I'll watch. I'm actually pretty I'm actually pretty damn good in corn hole. To be honest with you, well, you just good at everything I am. Man, God bless me with that, Thank the Lord. But like, I don't like if I miss the regular if I miss a game in the NFL, I'm like, I'm watching on my If I'm not at home, I'm watching NFL on my phone.

If I'm not at home for an NBA game, it is what it is. You don't care. I don't care. I don't care, And it's because of the way the game has gone, and the players of today need to be careful. They they should want changes to the game. And if it's eliminating a corner three, then so be it. If it's letting them play a little more aggressively defensively, then so bit. But changes have to be made if they have to be made, as long as these salaries are what they are. If I'm averaging fifteen points, I can make thirty million dollars. A crazy if I the more points I average, the more money I make.

Now, how long will the stop? Will these salaries stay where they are if the product is what it is? How long? Because people ain't tuning in? People will not be tuning in, they move into streaming. Who the hell's gonna stream an NBA game?

Who? I'm not? Hm, I don't know. Well, the average NBA salaries of a million dollars, right though, you average fifteen, you're getting thirty. You average thirty, you're getting sixty five.

That's crazy, you know, Ilo, I'm sorry, man, We need you, man, We gotta get this update.

Which what you got for us?

You know who needs both of you guys right now?

SMU No, they don't. They need more than us quarterback.

Yeah, one fifty one left second quarter. Penn State twenty one, SMU nothing in their College Football Playoff first round game. Their first touchdown came on a twenty one yard interception return by Dominic DeLuca, and then Penn State did it again on a pick six steps away.

Rock Stouffield turns upfield, Hader shut down forty five tony roe aas to the fifty hulloss to the forty five row ass to the forty Tony Clow loss to the far side to the twenty shut day tag five touchdown pet State Tony Rojas, but Penn State's second pick sex of.

The first half Steve Jones the call on w L E J and then Penn State's offense was like, hey, let us have some fun, will you?

Right there they go on near side to the tack to the five touchdown pep State Kate trod Allen pets. He puts together a seventy five yard drive and now I have a three store laid in the first half.

Twenty one to nothing over SMU with one fifty two left in the second quarter. And by the way, as we speak, Penn State has a first down and goal to go just inside of the nine yard line of SMU and TJ and Plax a couple of SMU notes off the field. Several big time SMU donors did not arrive at the stadium until an hour after the game had kicked off due to their private jets having to be diverted to nearby Williamsport, Pennsylvania. They are not having a good day. Meanwhile, an SMU fan on social media at one Trick Pony just posted a screenshot of him canceling his round trip flight to Phoenix for the Fiesta bol semi final against Boise State. Hope those tickets were refundable. Yeah, Penn State twenty one nothing. Penn State right now has a second down and goal at the SMU one yard line. In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs leave the Houston Texans seven to three after the first quarter. As Patrick Mahomes said, sprained ankle. What's brained ankle?

Mahomes on the far hash in the pocket, stepping up and trying to squeeze.

Three states on the street.

Town five co defend the zone touchdown karnsas City on that bad ankle stepping through.

Man, they met us stop. Ain't nothing wrong with Mahomes. They better stop.

Thro the young zone.

My ankle, my ankle, right, Mitch Holf k F n Z seven three Chiefs after one over Houston.

Back to you guys, Yeah, they better stop.

Ain't nothing wrong with my homes. Ain't nobody playing with no high ankle? Spring the week after? Man, ain't nobody will green They they met us? Stop who they food? And I was born to night but it wasn't last night. Yeah, man, you know what, man, Penn State gotta be the best worst team. They gotta be mad. Like you watch them on offense, just like they struggling. They struggle on offense, like what is it?

Defensively is just where they're really really good, But offensively Penn State struggles. Man, and.

People have said Penn State had the easiest road, which is unfair. So many people have all said it. You play, assume you they're not that good. Then you gotta play Boise State, who hasn't played anybody. And then you got Oregon, who's the number one seed, got to play the winner of Ohio State and Tennessee. Make it make sense, Make it make sense. But we know one guy that's extremely happy about what's taking place, and that's LeVar Arrington. You he gonna be talking all contrast just when it comes to that. But one guy that what's wrong with them? I tell Johnson Man. He gets traded from the Panthers to the Ravens. He refuses to go in the game. They suspend him a game, and John Harball Man, he ain't going for that.

John Harball is not a punk. But when I play, you're gonna let you gonna. I don't even know if I should tell this story. I'm gonna tell it anywhere. I don't give it them. Bro. When I went to the Ravens, do you know he got in a fight with a player in practice, like not just arguing like they fought, and Harball was like, no, no, Noah, don't grab him. Let it go a linebacker Jared Johnson.

And then after they got done with the fight, they got up, he shook his hand, they hugged, and we finished practicing. I said, damn, you, bro, I could not believe what I was saying. So I say that to say, man, Harboy ain't going for none of that. Man, the Ravens are one of the best organizations because they don't give a damn.

We're gonna release you win, gonna hold, get get up out of here. What do you make of him refusing to go in the game now him being released. If I'm a team that is fighting for the playoffs, I don't know if I claim him. I don't know a young man personally, I really don't. Uh. You know, he was in Pittsburgh, and you know he was having some issues with drops and you know, all of those kinds of things. And I always said to myself, man, listen, if you are playing this league, if you can't get along with Mike Thomas, i's wrong because he is arguably probably the easiest coach to play for men. All he wants you to do is come to work, do your job, and go home and do it to the do or to your high's ability that you can play football. And he couldn't do that. And Pittsburgh there are no rules.

They don't evenna find players, ain't no rules, or the Chiefs played that I was passing the afference in Amzona, I ain't call it no rules.

How you can't play there? And he goes to Carolina gets a fresh start. I don't know what happened there. But then you get a third opportunity to go playing Baltimore, which is a championship contending football team at this moment and they will be for as long as Lamar Jackson is the quarterback. They asked you to go into the game, and I don't know what the issue was. I don't know why he didn't go in the game. But why would you not want to go in the game if you're a wide receiver playing with Lamar Jackson? That I don't get. And if you understand the culture of what Baltimore is. It's like a zero tolerance. We ain't dealing with no bull except going out him playing raven style football. And if you not with that program, John Harball, just like you said, he's not going for it. The players ain't going forward either, because I've been around these guys. I know who they are as players and people. They're not going for it. So I don't know. He didn't go in the game, and uh, you know this last episode that they just had with the Baltimore Ravens is likely that he won't play in the NFL again. Well if he does. If he doesn't, he can only blame himself. So hey, it is what it is. We'll be right back. That's Plexico Burris. I'm TJ. Houshman Zada. It's up on Game Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back in up on Game Live from theatarreck dot Com Studios. I'm Tjhuschmanzada. That's Plexico Barris Man. This the show just goes by so fast, but we always finish at what I do best. Let's go baby.

Time for some Are you up on game Let's creak this ups, creak it up.

That's right, guys, it's up on game, down on game. In fairness to LaVar Arrington, who is at the Penn State game, we are just gonna get ahead with this one. We'll we'll tabulate the last week's results next week.

Added to this, I'm sure LeVar did terrible.

Yeah, we can just sew it and just assume we're gonna start here with the game you mentioned, TJ Clemson at Texas in the college football Playoff. Here, Texas a thirteen and a half point favorite, the over under currently said at forty nine and a half, and TJ will start with you.

Man, It's hard to give up that many points when this is supposed to be the best of the best.

But I think I'm gonna take the Texas Longhorns. Man, Queen Yours, boy, don't let me down now, man, don't let me down. Mister Queen Yours, come on, need I need you to be on your game. If not, man, they gonna have to pull a little Nick Saban Jayleen Hurst to a to a thing and go ahead and Queen yours and bring in arch Man. So I'm gonna take the Texas long corners. I'm gonna give up the points.

And I'll say they'll win something like thirty five the fourteen, so that to put it at forty nine. So I guess it's gonna go over, baby, man, I'm taking hooking horns. They're gonna cover the minus thirteen and a half and it's going over forty nine points. So go to Texas, all right.

Up next, the Tennessee Volunteers head to Ohio State to take on the Buck Guys. Buck Guys is seven and a half point favorite here. The over under currently said at forty six and a half. Complaques will start.

With you, oh man, you know what, it's time for the house They Buckeyes and start playing to quality football. Believe they played one of their best football games of the year. They cover the spread of what you said with seven and a half. Yeah, yeah, they cover the spread up seven and a half and it's going over the forty seven point total. So uh, you know what, Buckeys, don't make me look like a food go out there and play some good football today.

Man, I believe the game will go under. It's gonna be a defensive battle. I'm torn on what's gonna happen. I really am man. Obviously, Ohio State has a talent as we spoke of earlier in the show.

But I'm biased, so I'm gonna take the Tennessee Volunteers man to for sure cover and maybe pull off the upset. Man.

I'm a little boys because of my cause, Nico Man.

You know I'm a I'm a loyal guy. Yeah, Ryan Day, you bet it.

You better be ready, buddy, But yeah, I'm gonna take the under defensive battle. I'm gonna take the Tennessee Volunteers to cover, all right, last.

One here, Speaking of defensive battles, historically, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore. Baltimore is seven point favorite here be over under at forty four and a half.

I'm for sure going under.

I don't know the weather, but plexicoach is kind of told me what he can beat to this morning at his house, so I know it's gonna be cold. I know it's gonna be ball Control Football Divisional game. The Ravens have struggled with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I don't know why, but they just have the last nine games. I believe the Steelers are eight and one. Call me a food. I guess luck Haster change eventually, I'm gonna take the Baltimore Ravens. Man, Now you know, damn well, I'm going with still a Nation. Come on, man, this is a black and blue game, easy, the games you live for when you're playing this division. It's gonna be fast, it's gonna be physical, it's gonna be a whole lot of smack talking on this football field. So I'm going with my Pittsburgh Steelers. They're gonna win this game by field goal and it's going under on the points, and I'm taking the Pittsburgh Stiller is going to Baltimore and upset the Baltimore Ravens. Let's go still in the shit.
