03:00 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
happening, man? What's going on? 

03:02 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'm the legend himself, joey Knish. Producer extraordinaire, zach Phillips, with us. I'm Brad Powers, in case you're just tuning in the show for the first time. 

03:09 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I was going to say beautifully done, a true professional, there on the ad read and ready to go here for a little semi-final action, drew LR, maybe you know he may not be ready. He's with a few bodies on a Miami boat apparently. 

03:26 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
You believe that I know no. 

03:29 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Well, I mean, do I really believe that? No, but I like believing things on the internet that are irrational. 

03:38 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, a lot of stuff. I think a little bit more real is obviously Notre Dame dealing with the flu. I'm hearing stomach food poisoning for Penn State, so we'll see if that has an impact. We've seen a little bit since you and I last talked. We've seen some money come in on penn state. I was gonna do we want to start our. 

03:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Did you play any pre? I have not yet. Do you have you played any pre-game penn state side or total position, or are you gonna wait to live or anything? I've wanted to be on Penn State this entire time. 

04:12 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I did more of an emotional hedge than anything just shot around for the best money line. So, uh, emotional hedge, I I'm back and forth. I mean honestly, I think Penn State's the right side. If all things were equal though I mean if Jeremiah Love was healthy, Abdul Carter was healthy, both teams off the same amount of rest, both teams off a similar caliber opponent I'd probably like Notre Dame. But the two days extra rest I think helps Penn State Obviously. I don't know, man, I'm back and forth. I didn't think that can laugh at me. All you want Press conference. 

04:44
I watched that yesterday where Franklin like belittled Marcus Freeman. I don't know if that was good, considering Franklin's performances in big games. Now I think it's more of a live betting opportunity. I under certainly lean that way. I made a big bet. The big bet for me is in the other games. The big bet I mean I'll lead it out with this. You can agree or disagree. I went with some Riley Leonard props, Went over rush attempts and went over rushing yards on Riley Leonard. So that's what I played. I don't know if your boy Franchise or Jordan or whoever you got cooked up there as far as player props, if they agreed or disagreed on that. 

05:29 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I know, I saw I actually. I liked that quite a bit. Unfortunately, joey corporate was, you know, doing his thing today, or I would have tried to go get a piece of that, my a larger piece of that myself than when I could. I liked the attempt and, as you said, the attempts, much more than the actual. What's the rush attempts now at 13.5, now at–. 

05:56 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Nah, it's too much Player pass attempts. You see, let's go to rushing props, zach, and see where, uh, our boy, uh, riley leonard, is. Oh, there's attempts 13 and a half, I don't know. I mean the positive is sax count. Uh, no name is a slight favorite, so there's a decent chance. You got a couple kneel downs maybe at the end. Uh, they count, uh. So there's that. But rush attempts, rushing yards again, not wild, but I mean I know people want to have action on the game. Uh, 54 and a half, yeah, that was a little lower this morning. 

06:30 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I guess people listened well, yeah, I like you said, I like the attempts a lot better than uh, than than the yardage, especially now that the yardage is up in the mid-50s. But I will say, as you said, with Sacks in there, with the fact that Love is, I mean, what are we going to call it here? 

07:00 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I mean I'd be stunned if he got 10 carries yeah, I think maybe five carries. The problem with him is I mean I'd be stunned if he got 10 carries yeah, I think maybe five carries. The problem with him is, I mean, watch one of them carries be 50 freaking yards, so I'd be very surprised. He's not going to be healthy. That's just the thing. He's not going to be healthy. He's not going to be the feature back. I would expect Jadarian Price to be the feature back tonight. That's how I'd say it. 

07:28 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I'm not going to say that love is not going to play, but he's served very limited action is what my expectation is. No, I'm, I'm, I'm with you on that. So, um, yeah, so I think some of the Leonard, if you got 12 and a half counter, I think that's, that's still playable. I it wouldn't surprise me for him to get 15 attempts in this game with sacks and stuff in there. So, especially if they're gonna have to throw um in a little bit with no love, I think you'll see more of a passing uh attack. And when you more more time for some non-design runs, I think he'll get his design carries, his eight design, design carries. Then you mix in sacks, you mix in some off a script when they have to pass some more. 

08:00 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So, yeah, I like, uh, I like the rush attempts Isn't as widely as available as. 

08:07
Russian yards. So if it was, I mean I'd be screaming best bet on that. But it moved a little bit today. Uh, what else you got? I see you got a. Let's just not beat around the bush we got. I forgot to make the announcement. I can't go more than 40-some minutes today, but I don't think it's a big deal with one game. Keep in mind we're back at you guys. Tomorrow We'll recap tonight's game. Top preview the big one. Tomorrow's show can be a little longer. Do you want to get to the parlay? Are we good on this parlay? 

08:34 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah let's go, we've got it cooked up here A little natty SGP or semi-final SGP, ready GP, semi-final SGP, ready to go here through Penn State, in there in the plus one and a half? Yeah, I like that. I asked you the question. I came back around it. I do have a little pregame position. I am, if I see three or better live, probably three and a half, we'll look to come in, regardless of how the game outside of. You know, drew Eller, you know. 

09:06 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'm not lost at sea on the boat yeah. 

09:11 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Thank you for the pickup that I was going in a darker direction. But yeah, penn State plus one and a half phase on anytime touchdown. So we you know what I thought of the anytime TD prices liked his in terms of where the juice was at, um, a little bit bigger part of the passing game. Uh, had a nice game in the quarterfinal. So we'll took phase on any time TD. 

09:33
Kate Sean Allen this was a Geordie props he liked, uh, the Kate Ron overs. So through that in there I and that number was. I'm trying to see yet the where we played it was pretty much at where it's at now. I think we played some 56, 57 and a half, 58 and a half, still good. So K-Tron Allen over and then went to Darian price with what we just talked about with love, expected to get a limited sample and price to be the feature guy and ND. If they're going to run it, I think it's going to be you guy and nd. If they're gonna run it, uh, I think it's gonna be, you know, price with with more of the yardage there. So a little sgp there, 26, uh, 26 to 1. So uh, that'll be the uh semi-final sgp. Hit the books sgp of the night, which I think you'll be up on the site. Uh, on fan duel. A little one click there, but I like it, I bet it myself and uh, I bet those, uh, those props individually myself. 

10:25 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So did you get help with those? 

10:27 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
no disrespect to you of that well one was the the jordy, uh props, uh. Another one what franchise like the phase on over receiving. So I threw him in with the nhmd, so it was a little a little, uh, crock pot of uh, you know information that we cooked up there in the one SGP. 

10:45 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I love that SGP Love it. I would bet those individually. I would put pizza money on that. I think that's one of our better SGPs that we've had. So kudos to your moles and you for having those moles. I love it. You know me, I don't normally say nothing. If I don't say anything, then I don't say anything, then I don't love it, but I honestly love that. All those make sense to me. And keep in mind, price is another guy that I know Penn State doesn't give up much rushing, but he's another guy's capable of a 40 50 yard touchdown run. So yeah, I love it. And remember we don't count the parlays unless they win. I mean tomorrow's show. If we lose I won't even talk about it, but if it does win best, rest assured we'll be leading that. We'll do half the show on it. 

11:32 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, a late, late reaction show, that's a little touting one-on-one folks. 

11:39 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
But no, I actually like it. Pizza money, but responsibly. But I think that's a good one there. Hopefully it catches. Well, we're due. We're due to have one, yeah. So all right, let's get to the stars. That's you guys. Enough of us. Mason Bryant first, not too terribly excited to back small game James today, any props you like. Well, we just gave you a ton because I concur with Kanish. All those I'd bet individually that it gave out. The Faison stuff's really good. I told Franchise that last game. I'm like that's really sharp. They're really featuring him more. He's finally healthy. I made a far fun, less than Pete's bet on no touchdown, 150 to 1. Thanks, as always, you two are the best. 

12:19
Yeah, I mean Pete, I'm not there. 

12:22 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That's about the least amount of fun as it gets there, Danny, with no TD. I usually save those for an NFL game where it's two terrible teams, maybe in bad weather. Yes. 

12:36 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Or like you know, Iowa there you go, connor, in the chat 12 and a half still good on rush attempts? Yeah, I'd still lean that way on 12 and a half, yeah, agreed. Guy asks hello boys under 45 and a half. Still good on rush attempts? Yeah, I'd still lean that way. Yeah, I agree, guy s hello boys under 45 and a half tonight. 

12:49 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, that's riley, where are you at? On the total, yeah, I, I just, you know we talked about on earlier show I, I missed the, the 50s that were out there and then by the time it was, you know, I think fando actually opened much better. They were 46 and a half and everybody convert. It was like within snap of the fingers, everybody was you know 46, 46 and a half and everybody convert. It was like within snap of the fingers, everybody was, you know 46, 46 and a half, now 45 and a half. So, um, well, another one that if I see an early td and we can get some, you know quick td first couple minutes, if I can get a, you know 51 around there, uh, or even you know 49, something like that. I'll be on, I'll be on some live under rocco in the chat. 

13:25 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Uh, cavender twins. Uh, bring in carson to the? U. Yeah, I think they're the favorite. In case you're living under a rock, breaking news carson back to the transfer portal, yeah that. 

13:36 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Well, that screams right. Like, as you're saying, with the miami connect, he was gonna go to the draft and then now to the portal means that somebody came with a big bag of money. How many teams could are that need a quarterback are out there maybe four or five. 

13:54 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, they start connecting the dots and, uh, a year in miami wouldn't be so bad no, no, and I I enjoy my thought, go ahead. 

14:06 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh no, I'm just gonna say his draft stock is injured, like he. I think this is the best same thing we're talking about with quinn ewers, where, instead of going to the draft and kind of like, yeah, you don't know, may make three, four, five million bucks one more year, then take a shot, uh, and hopefully you can boot, because I mean his style this is the lowest right now yeah, at the lowest it's been in two years. 

14:31
Yes, so yeah he's, that's a good move for him I'm not totally optimistic that it's gonna it'll work out. 

14:39 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I mean, it gets paid, it works out for him, but yeah, as far as oh my god miami's offense is going to be just as good as what it was this past year. No, uh, that's a serious injury and I I also think if georgia really wanted to get him back, they would have him back what's the okay? 

14:54 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
so what is the the georgia plan a now? 

14:59 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
god, I still think they'll probably be in the mix for somebody okay, we are actually. 

15:03 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That was a little water cooler. Uh talk there. It was like all right, well, where now is? Is it queen yours? Is he a georgia bulldog next season, without surprising I think oregon has something to say too okay so yeah, I don't know. 

15:20 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
They certainly got more weapons. I mean I got the branch brothers. The Thomas kid from A&M is pretty solid, so I don't know. There's a lot to sift through there. I'm not going to be rushing to to bet like I was last year. I got my teeth kicked. 

15:34 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Did you see? Our friends at FanDuel posted 2026 national champion Right now. 

15:46 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Pull him up. I have not seen him. He's a virgin to me. 

15:50 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I just saw him before the show. 2026 national champ. 

15:57 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Keep scrolling. Joe Moore, I think Clemson's. Yeah, joe Moore, huh, I think Clemson's going to be the favorite in the ACC, what's Michigan? 

16:12 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
50-1. Huh, it's funny because these are not Scroll back up. 

16:19 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Obviously I'm not going to recommend, but I mean I'm a homer, but I think Notre Dame is going to be preseason, like two or three. They got more coming back than pretty much anybody. I mean, I know, not the quarterback, but everybody else is back for the most part. Love everybody. So scroll up who's at the favorite Buckeyes Texas. 

16:41 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, Ohio. 

16:41 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
State, again Penn State, because Aller's back, I don't know, I don't actually Ohio. 

16:48 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
State. I mean this is kind of the no, don't get me wrong. Portal. It's not like they're going to fall off a cliff, but this was their national title year, I would not be betting an early Ohio State for next year. 

16:59 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I agree, I'd like to bet the no there, boy, I'll have to look it up. Just glancing at theoretical hold. Not too bad to start A little bit more parity. 

17:12 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
And a little bit more, just general teams that are. Usually you'd look at the first six teams and be like, all right, well, there's your national champion. Who's going to win? When am I going to? Now it scrolls on the board with a little bit of intrigue. 

17:22 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, you can. That's why I scroll down, cause I mean usually you get past team six and I'm done. Yeah, I can go to 12 or 15. I haven't even deep dived the schedules and stuff yet I'm I'm not in no hurry right now, unless I think it's a total mistake, unless there's a typo. Pretty good, back to the chat. Arthur in the chat teased Buckeyes and under tonight. Look, I know we're at the end of the season. I'm not teasing college football totals. If I had to tease, it would have been Penn State at 7.5. That was my teaser. 

17:56 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, and which you could still. I mean Payne still has 1.5, so, depending on where you, I'd tease Penn State to the buck, guys. Yeah, I like that much more than teasing it with the total yeah. 

18:09 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
But yeah, Kirk, in the chat off topic, what do you guys think of UCLA's uh coaches rant? I didn't see. Have you seen this? 

18:17 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I see talking about the uh, I think the basketball UCLA. Mick Cronin's rant about Kirk. Follow up with there. Yeah, I'm sure I think that's what you're talking about Okay, yeah, I did I lost to Michigan. It's a little Mick Cronin's a psychopath, so it's not you're not totally surprising, but I don't. I don't really necessarily have a huge issue with it, I think good for content, but I think there'll be fine. 

18:48 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Agree? Yeah, I did see Cronin. I thought we were talking. You know this is college football show, although I'll law. I just get to it now because in case we forget we got any Joey pucks or edge work stuff, cause I was going to hockey picks Joey pucks tonight. 

19:05 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh my stuff, because I was gonna hockey picks joey pucks tonight. Oh my god, we played an overnight. Uh, I don't, I I'll have to see the price here, but we actually are on the lease tonight, uh, so that's, we'll have to see if edrick's like that. Leafs and ducks plus one and a half was the other. So sometimes play a little puck line now and then Ducks plus one and a half minus 145. Leafs was to 140. I haven't seen the screen in a minute. There's the Edgeworth stuff. So no collabs today. 

19:37 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
No, no collabs, no collabs. 

19:41 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
A lot of what we do have collabs is a lot of CLV collabs there. Look at Edgeworth doing the Lord's work. Yeah yeah, six plays, love it. 

19:50 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
Yep Big night for the Edgeworth team. 

19:53 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Like it. I could have read them off, but make sure you're watching on video. Advantages to video. Like and subscribe. Like and subscribe. We're officially heading towards the offseason. Make sure you're liking and subscribing folks. Charles in the chat from Boots on the Ground, south Florida. It's 60 degrees down here. Too cold to boat. How cold is it where you're at right? 

20:18 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
now. Definitely too cold to boat. Let's see, I think the real feel today was about 10, um. So yeah, right now, as the sun's going down, it's, uh, it's 20, so real feel of 18, uh, and with with a little colder to come. So get you're, you're getting. Yeah, yeah, listen, nothing wrong with a little midwest cold, though baby toughens you up I did appreciate it. 

20:49 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
uh, fresh air, I noticed it. I'm like, wow, I missed this when I was back. Uh, east for columbus and uh, south bend jack in the chat phase on over three and a half receptions minus 132 at fan duel. Yeah, I with that. Yeah, I don't hate that either. Andrew G Notre Dame's sick now? Oh man, well, I mean I don't want to, man, I'm getting older and I don't want to get on kids. But the kid that reported that today he's a little behind it actually impacted the team more, believe it or not, in the Indiana game where it was impacting starters. It's still part of the team, but it's more of the backups and stuff. So I don't think it's that big a deal for Notre Dame today. 

21:28 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, and that's when those. It's always hard to quantify, right, how many guys are sick, how bad are they, what stage? 

21:37 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Have you seen that in these? I asked somebody I'm like how many of these have hit they? 

21:42 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
seem not to hit Like the market overreacts. Yeah, I agree, I don't. Usually I mean post like COVID where guys couldn't play. Now it's like you know the flu's going around or, yeah, a neural virus or something. It's like you know, I don't know. It's kind of more noise than anything. 

22:03 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Ag says I have eight and a half on JLo rush attempts. 

22:06 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I'm thoughts under yeah, I would lean under as well. I my thoughts is they try and early and it just doesn't. Doesn't look right. 

22:17 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Charles, back at it. I feel like Joey corporate just sits at the water cooler all day collecting info from his moles. Chuck, what is a day in the life of Joey corporate just sits at the water cooler all day collecting info from his moles, Chuck. What is a day in the life of Joey corporate? 

22:29 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
There was a day that, unfortunately, Joey corporate. Now I love a little additional responsibility so. But yeah, it's nothing wrong with a little water cooler, a little mole session. 

22:43 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Jack asked about Mitchell Evans props After he burned me in the Indiana game. I don't care. 

22:48 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, you're not going back to the big. 

22:50 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Mitch, no, I'm not going back to that when are you at? 

22:56 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
They are not ones that I have played as of yet Not that I've played under of that but they were not ones that were on the immediate radar Looks like 27 and a half. I'm not going to talk you off it. 

23:12 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I could see I could lean over there. I just he was getting healthy. They featured him a lot in the SC game and I reacted and he didn't play well against Indiana. I don't know, I do think you're. 

23:28 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I don't hate, just in general, Notre Dame receiving overs, cause I see we like Penn state in the game. Don't think the game plan versus Georgia is going to be able to like totally reenact that. I think they're going to have to. I don't think you're gonna see, you know, the riley leonard 10 for 15 for 80 yards and no, it's gonna be a loss. 

23:50 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, a double digit loss. Uh, trip in the chat. Uh, 2026. Nanny odds caught my eye. Florida 50 to 1, michigan 50 to 1, auburn 55 to 1. Of the three, flor. A schedule is absolutely brutal Again, brutal again. Michigan, probably the other three. I don't trust Auburn. 

24:11 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I don't like is Bryce. Is Bryce Underwood going to come in and, freshman year, going to be able to win you a national championship? That would be my counter. There would be. They're also still trying to piece together some of this. The rest of this offense, uh, that is yikes. 

24:29 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, my best advice would be to wait. I think you're gonna get better than 50 to one, I mean yeah, I would agree florida would be of the teams. 

24:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I think florida from a power rating. 

24:40 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, but Go look at their schedule again. It's just as bad next year as it was this year. Auburn is a no for me. Yeah, dealey 23,. Penn State plus 9.5 hypothetical against Ohio State. I mean, we got to see. Does Ohio State go out and beat Texas by four touchdowns? 

24:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Right, I would say 9.5 slight. Yeah, I mean, do I? Ideally, if the game was today and they were playing each other, do I think it'd be nine and a half? No, I think it'd be, you know, maybe seven and a half, but yeah, I can see that Same principle applies If Ohio State scorches another team, then you're looking at going through 10. 

25:22 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So how about this super chat from hot coffee? I can use a hot coffee right now. I'm a little cold here in Vegas 1999. We can buy a few cups. 

25:32 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Buy a strip coffee for that. 

25:33 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Thank, you, yeah, appreciate the knowledge and entertainment all year. Guys. Ps Pizza boy from future extra North Dakota. 

25:40 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Making the America's American stream 150 times this week is a clear sign the hammer may be adopting the yank work ethic oh so, yeah, like the, uh the you know moretto, uh, the dictator moretto having us, do you know, 38 streams the past two weeks. 

25:57 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Uh, hot coffee appreciates it and oh, okay yeah, man you're good at that, like I'm like reading that. I'm like I love you hot coffee, but I, I don't know if I'm, I'm, I must be, you know, a little low ike. I must have you know I must have woke on on the wrong side of the bed today. 

26:14 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Thank you for understanding that yeah, no, I'd appreciate and thank you, sir, for the uh yeah and a brand it. Could you? We could use some more yank work ethic at this company. I tell you that. 

26:24 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, yeah, we could, it'd be nice, although you know I'm not going to get on our boy's act too much. He's got extra responsibilities. Now Seems like he's busy. Fadeaway J Chances Allard declares to the draft 0.1. Because he's coming back, right. 

26:44 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I thought you know the. I mean there is the chance that. 

26:46
I said 0.1 yeah, I would say he lights it up, bad QB draft and if you get a first round, you know type of I don't want to guarantee anymore, but like it would, yeah, I would. The problem is now, as you said, when he's coming, like then you'd be turning down a couple million bucks at least that they're giving him to return. So I don't know, in the old days I think then you would have had like a real shot. Now it's like, well, he's already said he's coming back, he's already got a few million, they're going to be good again next year. It's like, yeah. So yeah, I agree with you, though A little sprinkle that it may be. 

27:30 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Kirk, 20 bucks, and asks the question Bo Collins, notre Dame's wide receiver, over 17 and a half receiving yards. Again, like Kanish said, I don't hate some of the Notre Dame overs in the passing department. I fully expect them to be more functional than they were against Georgia. 

27:46 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
It would be one of those. 

27:52 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
It's a little tough to center in on what guy that there would go to, I think it's Faison. 

27:56 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I mean we lean Faison, but could they I mean the totals are so low for you know, I mean Evans, I wouldn't say so low, but 27, 17 and a half, like, do I hate just spreading it over, you know, if you want to, you know, do a little fling on each guy. I don't mind that, to be honest with you fadeaway jay. 

28:14 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Thoughts on the head-to-head rush markets judkins minus 150. Uh versus love. Uh, obviously, judkins. Yeah, I was gonna say that. Did you bet a lot of them? They were posted, uh there at a different book and uh, we won't mention them. 

28:31 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Uh, I was figuring you probably got down on some of those uh well, unfortunately I I believe I know the book you're talking about and it's. They don't make it super easy these days. 

28:45 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I ran into difficulty so I tried to attack those. I wanted to attack those. They did not cooperate. Let's just put it that way they didn't work my while. 

28:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I don't really like taking bets at some of these other places. 

29:01 - Brad Powers (Co-host)

Back Exclusive trial pricing and a free demo. A limited number of spots are available, so make sure you act quickly. Back to the chat, richard. What would the matchups have been and your results. If teams had been seeded, boy, I don't know, I might have to get a napkin out for that. Yeah, I don't. 

30:10 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Well, and the results Rich. We don't know. I mean, you know, you're right. 

30:13 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I don't know the teams. 

30:15 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I mean, you know, the matchups would have been a lot different. 

30:17 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So here's what I do know the best teams have won. The favorites have won every game. Did you know that? No, straight up, there you go. So the right four teams are left as far as all the favorites have won. So what else more could you ask? As a TV exec, I'd be very happy at ESPN with these last four teams. Tv ratings should be good, we King. Going to Ottawa to watch Kazakhstan, Germany and under-20 hockey is more work than you can imagine. 

30:45 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, that's the Zach troll there. I mean, listen, I heard it was quite the trip, especially having to interview some Canadian kids with tears rolling down their face after they disappointed the entire country and realized that hockey isn't their sport anymore. That must have been tough. 

31:05 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
You know what we get an opportunity to figure out? There's this tournament called the Four Nations coming up in February. I've heard that, yeah. 

31:14 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I've heard of this. I mean it seems like a nice way for Canada to feel good for a fake tournament they made up. Is that in Canada? 

31:23 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
And the US it's in. Both it's split Okay. 

31:27 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Who else is it? It's USA, Canada. 

31:30 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
Sweden and Finland. 

31:31 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Sweden and Finland. 

31:32 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Well yeah, yeah, people are getting on me for the Kazakhstan, yeah, yeah, yeah, I am not. I saw borat one time. I think I was under the influence, so like 15 years ago, so I don't remember much sorry I blew that one. I I something wrong with me today. I might have to get my head examined I got some. 

31:53 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I got a couple of props. I'll ask you guys, I used the pro tool this morning, oh look at this. 

31:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That's a pro. 

32:01 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
Okay, so first one I have is Harrison Wallace, the third over 41.5 receiving yards at minus 120. Thoughts on that one. 

32:09 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I know there was another show I listened to where they really liked that one. I have not played the Harrison Wallace over. 

32:22 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I am not either, but if he gets matched up, there is a weak spot in the Notre Dame defense. That would be their sophomore cornerback, christian Gray. So I think you've got a good bet. If it's early in the game, you see Christian Gray, number 29, opposite Harrison Wallace. 

32:38 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
Okay, the other one that I've got is Omari Evans over 18.5 receiving yards minus 21. 

32:46 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That's the one I like. Yeah, I agree with that one quite a bit. On the Evans, I think that number's come up. I think he's most. I think, yeah, he's 24 and a half now at FanDuel. 

33:00 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Where are you getting these? I mean, no one shares any of these with me. I'm going to have to turn off. 

33:06 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Canadian books man, yeah, I was going to say B, I got to add north, add north to the great, the tundra there, to get some of the. They do have quite some options up there. 

33:22 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I got one more. I have here Riley Leonard, over 157.5 pass yards minus 115. 

33:31 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
So here's all right, let me go give you the strategy here we're going to go eat. 

33:37
Our friends at FanDuel offer live props on these big games Receiving, passing and so part of the depending on the game script there. What we just talked is if you've got especially Notre Dame, if you see love is hurt and they're down in this game, you're going to get some opportunity on the receiving and the passing yardage props there, what we just talked about. So if you don't feel comfortable spraying the board, a pregame, you get, they get down, you know 14 or something like that and love isn't in the game. I think you'll see them really kind of start to spread it out, air it out and maybe play some of those live props there that'll be offered. So I'll be doing it personally, depending on how it goes. 

34:27 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Got any final score predictions as we wrap it up 24. Zach's got the Irish. What do you got? 

34:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)

35:27
So okay, bad guy says 27, 21, penn state kirk, 17, 13 notre dame. Uh, paul, why does everyone think they're just gonna line up and run the ball into each other 28-24?
