Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
You want to make a little extra pocket change for
this weekend, I do, well, look no further than Paramount
Sports least to tell you all right, Uh, surprisingly is
available for this segment.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Today.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I heard that Mike McDaniels having opened trayouts for the
Dolphins quarterback job, and that you know he played quarterback
back in college and high school.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Our buddy Lee Sterling, did.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
You go to that try out to show the coach
what you can do and maybe win a job with
your favorite team.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I'm gonna do double duty, gonna keep doing the shows
and playing for me. I can't do any worse than
what they're doing. Right.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, you're not allowed to gamble when you're in the NFL,
so you got to kind of pick one or the other.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I want Campbell, I want Campbell.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Can you give out handicapper advice? Can you do that
in the NFL?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Like, if you're a if you're an if you're an
active NFL player, are you allowed to actually give out
handicapping advice to the public?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Is that frowned upon?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
It? I doubt it.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's not you put but I think it is frown upon.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
If DK Metcalf took the podium and said, hey, I
take the Hawks minus seven this weekend. Baby, I think
I would definitely be frowned upon. All right, well you are.
You're twelve twelve and one on the year, all right,
so stop kissing your damn sister and let's get above
five hundred and start making some fricking money.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's time. The buck Eyes are back.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Home in the Horseshoe this week and they're taking on
next week's Husky opponent, Iowa. We're all curious to see
what that game looks like. And the buck guys are
given nineteen and a half against the Hawkeyes.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What do you see?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I will running back Caleb Johnson is averaging one hundred
and seventy one yards per game. That's the good news
about the offense. Wow, bad news Kde McNamara against Division
one opponents Iowa State in Minnesota averaging eighty yards per
game passing. They are going to have to raise that
if they want to start beating better teams or at
least be more competitive. They're defense giving up thirteen point

(01:56):
eight points per game. But daven we played three decent
offenses since the start of last year. Gave up twenty
six to Michigan thirty five to Tennessee on a neutral
field and thirty one to Penn State. Here they lost
two years ago Ohio State fifty four to ten. It's
not going to be that bad. But these running backs
from wide receivers from Ohio State are special. I think

(02:19):
Ohio State's the right side here for thirty eight fourteen.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
All right, the Duckies.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
This is one that Safti wanted to take on factor
fiction but was also already snagged. He wanted Oregon minus
twenty three and a half against Michigan State. Would that
have been the right side?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Oh So de duction more of a defensive team now
ninth in the country. Overall, they are playing Michigan State
team that the stats aren't terrible. Sixty second in offense
with their new quarterback Aiden Childs, but he's reckless with
the ball and forty second rushing, ninety eighth passing. But

(02:54):
here's the problem. There are one hundred and twenty ninth
and finishing drives not gonna be good enough here, Ducks
only had the ball four times second half. I think
they're gonna start gearing up here. They're gonna put it
on Michigan State. Long trip out West Ducks thirty eight ten.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I'm afraid you'll be right.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
But sometimes, guys, the best bets are the ones you
don't make. So we'll see what happens tonight. Huskies tomorrow
against Michigan. The Wolverines guys last year allowed eight passing
touchdowns Lee, They've already allowed ten and their first five
games of the year. We know it's a different animal
for both sides of the ball. They're coming out here,
They're facing the Huskies in that stadium. You were there

(03:33):
for that Miami game back in two thousand when the
Hurricanes got destroyed by the Dogs. You know what the
atmosphere can be all about. Husky's given a point and
a half tomorrow. What do you think happens at Husky Stadium?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
So Michigan keeps flirting with fire without a passing game,
I mean, one hundred and eighteen yards combined the last
two games, not gonna get it done. They only converted
I believe it was one third down last week. So
this is the first round game, and it is a
tough place. I mean, it was bad enough playing the
Huskies back in two thousand, but softy coming up ninety

(04:08):
eight flights of stairs. That was a scary side here,
and let me tell you something. You've never seen him
sprint more when they were up by twenty points a half.
Here's the problem for Michigan. I just think they're gonna
be up against it. I think special teams will be
the difference in the game. Also for the Dogs. How

(04:30):
about this stat? This is a blind stat. I play
almost all the time, a team that's favored that's not
ranked playing a ranked opponent to take them there thirty
five and twenty one last decade, sixty two point five
percent Dogs twenty three to twenty field goal with one
second to go on the clock.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh, gross redemption game after going over three last week?
Take itase.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Look in the last true road game for Michigan November eighteenth.
It's been forty six weeks since they played a true
Right away.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
You guys want to know what Michigan's rank is on
third down offense this year in the in the nation
last sixty ninth.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
You like that? Only?

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Oh, my favorite quarterback, Brock Perile. It is at home
against Kyler Murray. He's given seven and a half. Who
do you like San Francisco or the Cards?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Already this season in the only two inter division games.
Heuring this division, the Cardinals had beaten the Rams, and
the Rams have beaten the forty nine Ers. Each result
went against some seriously strong sixth to seventh season established trends.
In twenty twenty two, forty nine Ers said enough is
enough and began taking them seriously four straight stompings thirty eight, ten,

(05:51):
thirty eight, thirteen, thirty five to sixteen, and forty five
twenty nine. But the Arizona quarterbacks for the first of
the four executive sixteen to twenty eight point defeats were
Colt McCoy, David blou and Josh Dobbs. Kyler Murray scored
twenty nine points in the last game they did give
up forty five to That defense was an absolute mess.

(06:13):
Here run team favorite upset of the weekend in Arizona
thirty to twenty two.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
That'd be nice. I'll take it. That's fine. We can
we can do that.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Seahawks, given seven against the Giants, are going to be
with that. Malik Neighbors, probably Devin Singletary. We know that
Bayern Murphy's not gonna play for the Hawks. What do
you think happens at Lumen on Sunday? Afternoon.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
So underdogs of five and a half points in higher
sixteen to five. That's seventy six percent on the season.
But here's the problem. You mentioned the injuries just too much.
I think Seattle, even with their front seven hurt by injuries.
But we remember last year Seattle's defense eight Daniel Jones
for lunch and dinner, ten sacks in that game. I'd

(07:00):
play fast like they did last week. I love the
offense we saw. If we see anything any semblance of that,
I think it's going to be a runaway Without those
two guys, got neighbors and Singletary Giants are in trouble here,
Seattle twenty seven ten.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
All right, in your game of the week.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Another game that we're all kind of keeping an eye
on Indiana and Northwestern. UDUB has already seen Northwestern, they'll
see Indiana, and you got setting up your sleeve.
