This is Vincent, the sports betting network. This is LiveBet Saturday on Veecin, the sports betting network. From the midgaming hall here in Franklin, Kentucky, it is the top of the hour and we are watching football here on Veecin, the sports betting network. I am Brad Taylor, you can follow me on Twitter at not at bottom line, Lex. And you can follow our co-host, Wilhill. You can follow him at not the Wilhill, two ease in that Vee. We are watching college football and it's got us all flustered here as yes. Kentucky has scored on Alabama. I never thought I'd say that without laughing, but I'm not laughing today. It is now seven, nothing. Kentucky is leading Alabama, although Alabama is putting a little bit of a drive together right now. It looks like current live betting line. We talked about this early, but right before the break, can Alabama have the ball zero zero there side of the field?

You could have gotten Kentucky at 10 and a half, like you always could have. Right now Kentucky a five and a half point underdog to Alabama here. Bama still minus five and a half, total 51 and a half. Your thoughts on the getting the best of it here now, Will. Do we maybe look at Alabama as they're driving on Kentucky? Your thoughts on Alabama, Kentucky. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. No, I'm not. I don't feel a need to try to shoot for a middle. This early, if you took the. That's number with Kentucky, you're in good shape. And even if you didn't, you had a chance live. That thing got to 10 10 and a half or just a couple plays and then you saw if anyone watching the game. That's one of the better plays you're ever going to see by a defensive lineman. On third and long, he gets his hands up. He tips a pass. He catches it and then after the catch, he extends it beautifully just. So athletically and so gracefully done sticks it over the the goal line. Just a big man pick six and a really impressive performance here. But Bama is coming right back down to the field.

Like you said, they got a first down there in Kentucky territory. And it looks like they're going to be deeper in Kentucky territory because after completion. We have a face mask on big blue nation. And it's going to be Bama. I'd say maybe on the red zone, fringe of the red zone. I can't see where that penalty happened. But Bama is going to be in good shape here to that's boy. That's a hell of a rip the face. That wasn't a GP. That was a legitimate call. So first in 10 for Bama 730 left. It is Kentucky seven. It's Bama nothing. But I got a feeling here. Bama's about to punch one in. So we might be in first some fireworks here today, Brad. I'm going to be growing up in Kentucky and then moving back in my adulthood. Yeah. This is his fire and up. As I've ever seen the big blue nation for a football game. And that's say that's. Hey, no, Kentucky. Kentucky football hasn't been much for that. Something is it's a fumble. We got a fumble. I can't. He hold that thought. Kentucky ball. Russell got hit. And remember, young kid hasn't played. Making his first start on the road.

SEC. That's not an easy. I mean, you know that, Brad. On the road of the SEC. That's a different ball game. He's looked a little flustered here. He had to do the interception for the touchdown. He got a penalty. I think I'm grounding earlier. And right now, let's see what happened. He just holds on to the ball. He can't really make a decision. And it comes loose. I mean, that's on him. He just wasn't protecting the ball. He looked indecisive. I don't know if it was a busted play. But either way, it's a fumble. And it's Kentucky ball. And I would imagine if they're not the favorite here without looking at the line. It's about maybe a pick them because. You got like an eight and a half nine point dog. But you're up seven. Nothing. You can take that pregame number and throw it out the window. I'd imagine we're right around a pick up here. You would be close, but Alabama is still the favorite draft kings. Minus two and a half right now is Bama right now. You got to lay a little juice minus 120 juice with Alabama. It minus two and a half. So you can get Kentucky right now plus two and a half total 48 and a half here. So it is a little surprising that Alabama still is the favorite. Of course, we didn't see Kentucky move the ball.

They got a couple of first downs too, but they didn't get the defense of touchdown. So yeah, the odds makers are still saying set. We're only halfway through the first quarter. So it's not like we have a lot to go on here. But 734 remaining first quarter can tuck you up seven. Nothing, but Alabama still the minus two and a half point favorite 48 to half your total here. And that one. And so yeah, we are a commercial time out of that one. We do see that the other big gay. We're keeping an eye on Arizona. Unranked on the road. Conference row dog. They are up seven. Nothing on what the media said in the big 12 was going to be the winner of the conference. Number 15 BYU current live betting line. Arizona point to half favorite here, total 15 and a half. And he thought so we both had Arizona pre flop on this one getting about a touchdown, depending on where and when you got him. Arizona is looking pretty good right now for those of us who played that one. Hey, Will. Yeah, I got to get my eyes on that one. I guess that one is on Fox. So that's another thing too. If you're going to sit down and watch these games and bet him you got to have a nice little TV setup.

Know what channel these games are on because it's it's a it's overwhelmed. This is hard work what we're doing, Brad. People think you know what you got a great job. You should there. Watch college football. You bet it. You talk about it. It's so easy. This is hard and tense labor. I would say you and I have about as hard a job as anybody in the country. Would you agree with that? I would say that we demand more salary. We demand more perks here. The bit gaming hall and give us a free pizza here in prior rollers. That'll give us a come down here. So yeah, we do see Minnesota just kick field goal. 73 Mississippi State over Minnesota. But Notre Dame also just put up a touchdown. Three and a half minutes to go in the first quarter. There are 21 to nothing on rice. Live betting line. 57 and a half for your Irish over rice. That should be easy money here, right? Well, I'm not so sure we should lay that many points. By the way, Oklahoma State now. Still up on Oregon. 2724 with three minutes to go in the first quarter. And only a minus two and a half point favorite here. Oklahoma's hanging tough here. Will they might be able to hold off Oregon and finally take them down like a lot of people thought they should have been taken down last week.

All right. Now speaking of the TVs. I got to find this game because this game was on ESPN. But right around now they go to the the ladies. US open finals. So I'm not sure where this game got shipped to. Maybe we can find out. I'm sure somebody listing can let me know. This game was delayed almost a couple hours. I say hour hour and a half by weather. And that is kind of collided here with the US opens off to find that game and get eyes on that one is again. We're a lot of irons in the fire here trying to keep up with all these games. We're hustling well. That's why we that's why they pay us the big money to sit here at hustle as we're trying to find the TV here for. Oregon State and Oklahoma. Oregon and Oklahoma State. Excuse me. So yeah, that's what's going on there. Of course, a blowout happening down in Athens. Georgia 70 Western Kentucky 13. So the home. The hometown team here in Franklin, Kentucky. Western Kentucky. Yeah, they're not happy with that one. At least the you had 56 56 and a half. You still lose. So there you go with that one. So yeah, we're keeping an eye on the games. We're a commercial in Kentucky and Alabama.

Kentucky now has the ball on a second down play now on their side of the field. About a second and six. So yeah, what are we? What are we looking at here? Will because I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What are we looking at here? Will because I don't see any other games going on right now other than the other two. We're keeping an eye on the big ones Arizona BYU and Alabama Kentucky any other games you're keeping an eye on right now. No Arizona BYU's one. Bama Kentucky. You know, Minnesota Mississippi state and the big one is Oregon because that would be a shocking upset. I mean, 24 24 and a half point favorite and money came in on Oregon figuring you know what Oklahoma states beat up. They look terrible last week. You're going to get Oregon's best punch because they didn't play well and you figure they've come out and just put a number on these teams in Oregon up until last week Oregon and landing have had a habit of reputation of taking care of business when they need to they play. Somebody under you know underneath them is a big favorite. They usually win and win pretty comfortably. Their losses have all come to us. Oh my goodness. It looks like Bama's going to get a interception. Is he going to run it back for a touchdown? He is this game.

Oh, I know. Something Brad couldn't tell if it was a cross up or just a miscommunication or a bad pass. I'll see a replay in a second. But number four for Alabama intercepts it. He walks the tight line down the sideline and he is in there's going to be no reviews no flags and just like that mincey who's a you know talented player. He gives it right back. So Kentucky had all that momentum a defensive touchdown another turnover they got the ball. They got a chance to maybe go up you know 10 14 nothing and put a debt into the game and put Alabama behind the eight ball. It all changed just like that and that Bama's going to kick an extra point to try to tie this game. Wow. Both the big games just had big interceptions. Yes, you two you just talked about Alabama with a pick six in BYU in a provo BYU picks off an Arizona pass runs it back deep into the Arizona. Territory and BYU runs it in from six yards out both these games now both of them tied at seven Arizona BYU along with Kentucky and Alabama.

So here we go. We're back where we started at both these games BYU now a five and a half point favorite on the live betting line. As you would imagine because that's about where they were before the game started and Alabama Kentucky now tied at seven minus seven and a half is the tide. But a 53 and a half total that was a lot that's about four to half points more than it was pre game. So there we go both these games now the big ones both of them tied basically with the pick sixes for both teams will is there any way you would play either of these games now. Now that we have both of these games tied at seven. And my instinct would be under Bama Kentucky because you've got 14 points. You've got 14 points with nothing happening on offense and man if you have the under that's a tough one you're sitting here saying not one thing is happening on offense these teams have done nothing. And we're sitting here with 14 points. So I think we were just a couple of the other things we've just handled and we've just kind of stumbled in Kentucky territory, but 14 defensive points that is a that is not friendly to to an underbedder.

So I guess I would look under live, but we'll see here my instinct would be to jump in back in on Kentucky plus the points. I lean Kentucky lead plus the points. But you know what. Got some better numbers with Kentucky. So I probably just leave it alone right now. But just a while start we sent six and a half minutes and we're basically halfway through the first quarter. And we've seen a defensive touchdown by each team. only halfway through the first quarter. It feels like we're a lot further around because the 635 now remaining in the first quarter here as the tide and the cats are at 7 7. We're still waiting on the official extra point for BYU. They're lining up for it, but they're still reviewing it. I think so, yeah, there is the extra point. 7 7 airs on a BYU. Some other games are actually, if I said earlier that Western Kentucky, you're getting 56 and a half. They get it touched down with a minute to go make it 70 to 20 down and half into that one. And yes, Oklahoma State is driving on Oregon two minutes to go in the third quarter there. Oregon, Oklahoma State is at the Oregon 15 yard line going in.

They are up three and the current live betting line there. Oregon only a one and a half point favorite there. Total 71 and a half. Do we believe real quick? Well, do we believe it or at Oklahoma State? At this point. I do, but I'm not enough to bet it. That's about exactly how I think about it. So we're going to keep an eye on that game. Oregon right number six. They may be going down to the feet. The two big ones. Air is on a BYU. Alabama Kentucky both tied at seven with the live betting lines about where they were pregame. We got a lot coming up. Let's stay tuned right here to VC. These sports betting network. I'm going to keep the track. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. This is live bet Saturday on VC. These sports betting network. Five from the midgaming hall here in Franklin, Kentucky right above the hill as we are taking you through a day of college football Saturday. And we don't have a ton of big games. But boy, they're really interesting, including still water Oklahoma Oklahoma. Just get to field goal. Oklahoma State gets a field goal. They are now up 30 to 24 on number six Oregon. 25 seconds remaining in the third quarter. But the odds makers are still saying that they're out there. Well, we're at the end of three quarters in Oklahoma state in Oregon. Do now do we believe that Oklahoma State can pull this one off the odds makers are saying no, but boy, it's a close line here now. What do you think? And looks like a kickoff about to go out of bounds here.

So it's tough right there for Oklahoma State. I'd be inclined to take the one and a half because not only you have to give a score again. So you're basically saying Oregon is going to beat him by two scores from this point on. There's only 31 seconds left. In the third quarter there getting the one and a half where. Maybe Oregon wins, but maybe the one went by a point. Maybe who knows maybe Oklahoma State does hang on. It would be Oklahoma State plus one and a half or nothing for me. I'll check out the juice here in a little bit of a moment. I don't love that because you know what? Maybe you just wait if you like Oregon State and. Four or five plays from that Oregon's in the end zone and the numbers much different. That's possible. So you have to consider that. So for now I'll pass, but I am interested to go call the state plus a point and a half. There you go.

That's the big upset that's happening right now. So the five and a half point favor in that one. Total 53 and a half. I think I'd be on the under there if I'm on anybody with the current numbers. And in promo you talk it is number 15 BYU and Arizona also tied at seven BYU. A five and a half point favor in the live betting line. 54 and a half your total there. Looks like Kentucky has the ball close to red zone for Alabama. They're on about the 27 yard line. So you're going to be on the third down coming up here. Will your thoughts on the two big ones? Arizona BYU and Alabama Kentucky. And I'm not watching too much of Arizona BYU. I see that one is seven all. We you and I both like Arizona before the game. Oregon, Oklahoma State when we come back. We're going to break here. Third quarter is ending first play of the fourth quarter. It's going to be a big play. And maybe it's four down territory. Four Oregon who's got it about third and four from like the plus 44 yard line. So I would think. You know what two chances to get four yards.

And if Oregon doesn't come up with it, Oklahoma State can kind of take control of that game. Kentucky now is going to have decision time because third and one. And maybe this is an indication will stop tipping sand and what he's going to do. You probably don't throw it on third and one like they do unless you're going to go for it on fourth and one and figure, hey, two plays together yard. I can take a shot on third and one. Looks like they're going to do that. The third and one passes in complete. It's now fourth and one. It would be about a 40 three 44 yard field goal. And you know what? You're a 10 point dog. You're a 10 point dog. In a half point dog. I guess it closed. It's fourth and one. You got a good offense. You're a good offensive coach. If you're going to be, if you're going to pull the upset, you know what? You got to pick up these fourth and one. So we'll see here what sign has in the bag for fourth and one. I hate this. They go shotgun. A little roll out. Not much there. It doesn't look promising. The past is complete. And it's going to be a first down. It looks like here. Bama signaling incomplete. I thought he caught it. We're near the sideline here. So there's going to be some discussion. But to me, Brad, I don't know if you have eyes on it. It looked like Kentucky completed the past and got enough for the first down as the referees are discussing.

So even they are not sure. But to me, it looked like a catch a first down. The ref is talking, but we can't hear him. I'm curious if you see anything here, but that looked like a good first down here. But probably going to review it either way. I'm reading lips and it looks like the referee said catch and fumble out of bounds. And they're going to review it right now. But, but that's just me reading the lips here. But I will say I can't believe there's home cooking in an SEC market. I can't believe that Lex the Kentucky would have some home cooking. So yes, he did fumble the ball. So we will see. Yeah, that's going to be very close. Yes, we'll see they're going to commercial break to review this. So we are at 32 seconds remaining in the first quarter here. And we are tied. Seven seven Alabama Kentucky. And I will say this. The point spread from the from draft gigs now has Alabama and eight and a half point favorite. That tells me where I think this is going. And it tells me it's going against Kentucky. So that's what the odds makers are telling you right now.

Because if this wouldn't really went Kentucky's way, I would jump all over that eight and a half with Kentucky at the moment, because you're not going to get that in 30 seconds. So yeah, that's exactly the way you do it. So the odds makers know a little bit more that way to look at it, Brad. That's a very sharp way to look at it. And I agree and I would agree that's a hint. Sometimes the wrong nowhere. Yes, you kind of read too much into it. And they just, you know, the algorithms rhythms offer whatever the case is. So, you know, if you're watching at home and you can replay it and you think, Hey, Kentucky's going to keep the ball here. You probably take the eight and a half. If you don't, you don't. I don't know. If you called it a catch on the field, it's one of those ones. I don't know if there's enough to overturn it because he had the yardage. It would have been a first down. It's to have the ball long enough where they call it a catch a FOMO in a first down out of bounds. Or do they call it an incomplete pass? I he didn't have it that long, but it's so close where I think they might just defer to the wrong field. We will see there at commercial right now. We will see when they come back what they're doing.

But like you said, Will, the, the, the, the odds makers are telling us that it's Alabama ball. So we will see what's going on there. We're keeping an eye on also BYU in Arizona. Looks like Arizona is doing something here. BYU only at three and a half point favorite on the live bed line as we do see Arizona with the ball on the BYU side of the field. They've got a fourth down here on the BYU side of the field. So they're going to try to figure out what to do here. In other news, water is wet. Notre Dame puts up another touchdown on rice. There are up 28 to nothing in the just start of the second quarter. Notre Dame now a 62 and a half point favorite will. Seems like the easiest cover in the history of mankind taking right rice getting 62 and a half. And we are about to start like Will said the second quarter in still water 30 to 24 Oklahoma state up on number six. Oregon live bedding line still though has Oregon a two and a half point favorite now as they have the ball. We'll see what they do as they are around midfield now as we start the second quarter.

And we are still waiting on the call there in Lexington to see what they do. By the way, we do see another ranked team. SMU gets out to an early lead over UC Davis there. Now it's 36 and a half point favorite there. They're up seven nothing on UC Davis. Those are your ranked teams in action as we speak right now along with Washington, Utah state. That gave us in the second quarter. Both both team. There's zero zero on that one. So a good Utah state play there and it looks like Oregon. Looks like they have just scored a touchdown. We will see what happens there as they got a long pass. I think you're looking at the same thing I am. Looks like a touchdown Oregon in that one. So we will see 30 to 30 now. It's official live bedding line Oregon minus four and a half here in this one. Total 73 and a half as the bubble burst now for Oklahoma state because there's still 14 minutes and 51 seconds left in this one here will. Yeah, and that's what I made the point a couple minutes ago. If you know what Oklahoma state plus one and a half looks interesting, but. This is our Oregon who sit in there midfield scores in four or five plays and you're getting a much better number Oregon scored in just about four or five plays.

And now you get oak state plus four and a half oak states going to be down one. They're going to have the ball and you're catching four and a half. I mean, they move the ball pretty well here. I'd only look towards Oklahoma state. Not enough to bet. I don't know. Do you like it plus four and a half or you feel like this is just a matter of time here before Oregon pulls away. And guess what happened in Lexington they gave Kentucky the first down here on this one. I don't know how they did. They gave Kentucky the first down, but that did not change right now the live bedding line still is Alabama minus eight and a half. So maybe we're missing something here that's not boom it. Yeah down to four and a half. So there you go. We missed our opportunity. Well, we were trying to figure this out trying to think ahead. Yeah, yes. I mean, I was making the point. If you're watching at home and you can replay and you can kind of almost make a bet on what the call is going to be because you think it's going to be Kentucky ball. You got your catching eight and a half with a situation where you're going to have the ball right in the red zone.

He had it long enough where the call on the field was a catch. It was very close, but you know what when it's close, you kind of go with the call you made and that was the case here. So I was surprised. Now you always worry the books no more than you the books already had the ball, you know, in Alabama's hands. That's a good lesson. They're the book is not always correct when they're making those decisions. You have to kind of be careful. All right, does the book know more than me do more than I do or are they just guessing and they're maybe guessing incorrectly and it was the latter. By the way, scoring update and pro vow Utah Arizona gets a field goal. They are now up 10 to seven on BYU in this one and Arizona. Yeah, BYU still a small favorite here in this one, about two and a half now is BYU minus two and a half, but Arizona now up 10 seven in pro vow Utah.

Sin, the sports betting. This is live bet Saturday on V. Sin. These sports betting network. From the V. Sin studios here in Franklin, Kentucky right above the circus sports book at the midgaming hall. I am Brad Taylor along with Will Hill here in your live bet Saturday real quick before we get to our guest. Did Turkey has put up a touchdown in Lexington on Alabama. They're now up 14 seven on the tide, but Alabama a two and a half point favorite still with the live betting lines and 55 and a half is your total, but coming to us live from Austin, Texas on the progressive guest line.

He is the Ohio beat rider for the bill and Doug show and he is covering Ohio State here tonight in Austin. He is Doug Lamarice Doug. How are you to do today, sir? I'm doing well. How are you guys doing very well. Tell us tell us the vibe down in Austin. You're down there for Ohio State in Texas. Tell us what's going on down there. Are you really kind of a jam pack atmosphere? Tell us kind of the feeling the vibe you're getting down there before Ohio State and Texas tonight. Yeah, so we're right outside. Darryl Kay Royal Stadium and I think they're waiting to do the Bivo walk. We're trying to figure out how to get across to the stadium. So they think they have the road blocked off for the steer. So we're currently navigating that, but it's good vibes like there's. There's a decent mattering of Ohio State fans here. They always travel well. But yeah, this is you can feel people are juiced up for this thing. There's a lot of people out here, even though it's 96 degrees.

Doug, last year, Labor Day weekend, we had two young quarterbacks in the game kind of played out accordingly points were hard to come by ugly game defensive oriented. Do you think now that Manning and saying have a year under their belt year older, year better game kind of flips and it's more of an offensive game. What's your thought here on the pace the tempo tonight with a total of 50. Yeah, I think that's right. I think part of it is also offense coordinator Arthur Smith for the buck eyes. I think they're going to play a little faster. But a year ago, you know, Ohio State could lean on that veteran defense and have it go in the game. And now I think Ohio State's an offense first team. And so they need the offense to go win the game today. So I do think it's it's the veteran QBs, but it's also I think what both teams need. They need these QBs to go win it. So it's taboo for a lot of coaches to talk about points, breads and who's favored it. Who's the underdog, but Ohio State is the number one team in America.

Yet they are a point and a half underdog today in Austin. Is that something that anybody has mentioned with Ohio State? Are they insulted by this or is it like we'll take it and we'll just show them what they can do with those points breads. I mean, I mean, that really hasn't come up a lot. I know some people have referenced the fact that Ryan Day has not been an underdog a ton since he's been at Ohio State. You know, these teams know each other really well. It's all on Texas like the point spread is one thing, but certainly I think Texas feels like the underdog here after losing two straights Ohio State. So it hasn't been I don't think Ohio State's feeling disrespected it. They know that these two teams are pretty evenly matched. Who do you like in the game and look, I think it's early I understand that, but the winner is going to have a pretty good bath here with a win over the other teams to get to the college football playoff. Do you think the loser can suddenly, you know, be in some trouble here making the college football playoff or you know, get their season gets off track. What do you think for these teams and their path going forward after tonight?

Yeah, I mean, I thought a year ago, both teams would be playoff teams regardless of the outcome and then because Texas lost the Florida that turned out not to be correct. But I think these are still both playoff teams this year. This is probably like the fourth biggest game on Ohio State schedule. They have, they have Indiana, they have Oregon at home. The Michigan game is always huge, Michigan, you got a big win today. So as much as this matters, I don't, I think it's more do or die for Texas, but they both definitely still have paths to get in regardless of what happens today. So the winner lose this game. Ohio State, yeah, they are the favorite to win the big 10 championship and especially we've watched Oregon the last two weeks here and they have not looked good at all. And yeah, of course, Indiana, they're not what they were last year. At least we don't think so of yet. Ohio State's head shoulders going to win this conference according to odds makers right now. Do you agree with that?

I don't think an assumption that Indiana won't be what they were last year is right. I think you know with what Indiana added the kept both coordinators, they've looked good through two weeks. I did have questions about Oregon with two new coordinators for the ducks. So I'm not 100% shocked that they've looked if he threw the first two weeks, but I thought it would be an Ohio State Indiana big 10 championship game. I think the first two weeks have shown us that Ohio State has right the idea that they lost the Indiana last year, so they're going to have a little something extra when they go to Bloomington in a month and a half, but I if you're asking me, is Ohio State a cut above, I think Indiana is pretty much right there with them, but I do think they are the two best teams in the big 10. So I think I think the last two times I think Texas played when Jeremiah Smith didn't put up his usual stats. Part of it was he was open at times on the Ohio State quarterbacks didn't.

Maximize him didn't get in the ball when he was there. It wasn't like he was blanket covered every single snap so they did a good job last week. They got him nine targets and you only played in the first half. So I do think they know they have to feed him and you know no car now. Tate there are other options for Ohio State, but I I think Jeremiah needs a big game for Ohio State to win and I think they know that. Last 13 times Ohio State's been an underdog. They covered the points bread 10 of those 13 times and nine of those 13 they won straight up. Are you still on board with Texas taking this game home tonight or is that the history there is that something you look at or you just looking at right now because Ryan Day. I know he gets a lot. He's won an national championship and I know he's done so well, but you have to ask maybe a few loses a few games as he on maybe a warm seat, not a hot seat, but a warm seat if he loses more games that he's supposed to this year. No, no, no, no. I mean like that.

He had issues with the Michigan losing streak, but they put the the beat Michigan last year they have a national title. They have a schedule. Every big buddy acknowledges that I think Ohio State fans are kind of. I think they want to be tested. They felt like they weren't tested enough in the regular season last year. So again, I think this is the last drive. Time to game, but. You know, this is this is what you want college football to be early on, so I don't think it's. Again, it's it really matters, but it's not do or die for for Ryan Day. I'm not even Texas. What's the best thing you've eaten? I had a Berea case of the other night, so I know barbecue is huge, but I when I get down this way to come back. So I've been playing so far for sure. Well, that's good to hear, Doug. We always appreciate the information like that. That's almost that's almost as big of information is getting information on these games here.

So let's bottom line it here. Let's bottom line it here. Your final score in this game tonight and what to look for. Which quarterback has the better job, better stats here tonight and maybe a prop that you're looking to play. Maybe on as a side hustle type of thing here. I've Texas 35 31. You know, I do I'd like the over. I know it moved from 48 and a half in early in the week, which was a nice number. I think it's a 49 and a half now. And so I would probably go with Jeremiah Smith overs. I just think they know what they need to do with him and they'll move him around the field. It's like the stats are nice. He's a high candidate, but I think they know that's there. That's their path to victory to is a big game for Jeremiah Smith. I just took a look at him on Twitter at Doug lamores. Lamores and we appreciate his time here today. Doug. All the best to you. Thanks for heading down to Austin and getting me got some inside information.

And we appreciate it and made the winners be yours. Sir, thank you so much. Thank you, Doug. Daug Lamerice here on the progressive guest line giving us the inside scoop and skinny on this. to watch these games. We did have a touchdown for BYU BYU now up 14 10 on Arizona. And now they're a bigger favorite than they were pregame. Seven and a half is the betting line right now. Total 58 and a half. And that one Alabama has the ball and Kentucky though and Kentucky is still up 14 seven now on Alabama. They tied a minus two and a half. Your thoughts of what we're seeing here, Will. Yeah, in Oklahoma state, they respond. They get the touchdown. They go up to 631, but they missed the two pointer. So it's a five point lead for Oklahoma state. Oregon has the ball. They're on 25. If it's a delay a game or a timeout, but still 1021 to go. So don't go anywhere. We're going to have a hell of a finish here. Oklahoma state. This is not a fluke. They are up for the fight. This is a four quarter game here.

Oklahoma state is really making Oregon work for this one. Yeah, we've still got 10 minutes to go in that one. 3631 Oklahoma state over Oregon. Oregon is still favorite on the live betting line minus one and a half. And that one big total 76 and a half. So they're still expecting multiple scores in the last 10 minutes of this game. We're just getting started. It feels like here on the live bed Saturday, we're keeping an eye on all the big games. We'll hill in my self-brad Taylor. Let's come on back and catch some tickets. Here on VCID, the sports betting network. From the mid gaming hall here in Franklin, Kentucky right above the circus sports book, I am Brad Taylor alongside Will Hill. This is live bet Saturday. We are watching some college

football today and we've got some good games. We don't have a ton of conference games. We've got enough to really kind of strike your fancy because for the first time today, Oklahoma state is now favored in the live betting lines over Oregon. Number six Oregon, trailing Oklahoma state right now, 3631, eight minutes, 11 seconds to go in this game and Oklahoma state is now a two and a half point favorite in this one. Total 74 and a half will Oklahoma state's finally favored here now. Do we dare take Oregon? Getting points on the live betting line. Now, I'm okay here because Oregon does not have the ball. I mean, Oklahoma state has the lead in the ball. So I think it's properly priced and you know what? I think Oklahoma state might pull this off 24 and a half. I can't imagine what the money line was before the game. Probably good, you know, 10, 12 to 1. But no, I have no interest here jumping in here on Oregon. I think Oklahoma state. They've moved the ball up and down the field.

I can pull up the live box score here, but this does not look like a flu in terms of the box score. And this is now a concern for Oregon. Last week, all right, week one against Boise, you know, good mid major team. You pulled it out. No big deal. You move on. This is now two weeks in a row. They have not looked like the team. Everyone expected. If you asked a lot of people, hey, who's going to the national championship? You would have gotten a lot of Oregon's. You would have gotten about half the people, but a good 30, 40 percent. Maybe you know, in that ballpark, people pick an Oregon. This is their year. You know, the quarterback supposed to be the second pick of the draft. All these future pro defensive lineman that return. This is not look like the team we expected it to be 36, 31, eight minutes left. Oregon's organs on defense here. So Oklahoma state has the ball and a five point lead. If Oklahoma state can chew up four or five minutes and get in the end zone, it's just not going to be enough time here for Oregon to to respond here. So this is the drive of the game clearly here for Oklahoma state. Now, field goal. I think it's time for a field goal for Oklahoma state because that makes it a situation where you're up eight and you get to touchdown the two to tie it and you get the ball back. But Oklahoma

state possessing the ball for a few minutes, controlling the clock and getting a few first downs and eventually some points here. Well, I think decide this game. This is a fluke total yards in this game. Oklahoma state 527, Oregon 264 more than two to one advantage for Oklahoma state in terms of total yards in this game. That's a very telling number to say the least you talked about that two point conversion that failed. There's now about seven and a half minutes left in this game still 36, 31 Oklahoma state with the ball. We will see what they do here. But the live betting line is telling you, Oklahoma state's in a good spot. We'll talk about that going forward. Also, the other big games Alabama gets a field goal and Kentucky is now up 14 to 10 on Alabama in this one. 7 11 to go in the second quarter here. But Alabama still favored Alabama minus three and a half on the live betting line 54 and a half year total. And the other game we've been watching quite a bit this afternoon. Number 15 BYU is up 14 10 on unranked Arizona BYU

is now a six and a half point favorite here 57 half year total. Any thoughts on those other two big games are watching from the 330 Eastern time window will. No, I want to go back here just quickly to Oklahoma state Oregon because Oregon dropped on second down. What could have been an interception in a game changing interception on third down here. It looked like the passes incomplete a late flag for interference. But I think the ball was tipped. It was so we'll see if they pick up the flag. I would imagine they do because as you know, once the ball gets tipped, you know what you're allowed to make contact with the receiver. That ball looked pretty clearly like it was tipped and they are going to overturn it. They're going to pick up the flag in Oklahoma state just like that's going to have to punt. So forget having these long drives where you know you get a touchdown and ice the game or kick a field goal pretty much a three and out here for Oklahoma state. Fourth and nine. They'll be punning. So Oregon, I would imagine flips right back to being a favorite here is they're going to get the ball down five with plenty of time. Time's not a factor seven and a half minutes. Still a lot of possessions left in this game. And Oregon will set up shop on their own 30 yard lines. And just like that, the live

bedding line favors Oregon now. They're a point and a half favorite just like that after that fourth downplay for Oklahoma state 74 and a half year total there. So we're watching these games. Some other games that are kind of going on that might be a little bit off the radar here. We do miss see Mississippi state. They're a very sharp play going up to Minnesota here. They're up 21 to three on Minnesota in Minnesota. We also see a big scoring fest in Champagne Illinois 17 to 14 over Duke. There are six and a half point favorite there and an ACC game that I kept an eye on all week like Cal getting a getting three and a half points here on the road as a road dog in Syracuse. That game has been way through the second quarter now Syracuse up 12 seven here anything else other than the big boy games that you're kind of keeping an eye on so far this afternoon here will. No, just taking it all in. I mean, we got a monster upset here not just in terms of the point spread, but in Oregon team who was on the ropes last week. They still have some tough games ahead of them. They have to go at USC. They play Ohio State. So this is

not just if you start losing games like this when you're 24 point favorite that playoff birth that we all assume is going to take place that you're guaranteed for. It's not going to take place. You're no longer a lock because Michigan already 2-0 and a long season to go, but man, you can't lose these games. We're a 24 point favorite and just brush it off like it's no big deal now in the old days. This would have been a death now. Back in the BCS days, we're only two teams made it even the 14 playoff. One loss was huge. That's what I don't like about the 12 team playoff even though I like it more than the old system because there's more games and more teams involved. The regular season is so much more important. It used to be so much more important than it is now where you can lose this and hurts you, but you can get over it. But still a very big game. So we'll keep an eye on that. Bama Kentucky Kentucky putting up a fight. That's been a fun game and really, you know, 14 to 10, but the only points are only a few of those points are off of the offense. A lot of that was a pick six by each team early in that game. So fun little day of college football. Last week week one, you know, we did not have that many great games. A lot of blowouts,

a lot of mismatches this week where we're in some in for some fun Michigan pull off the upset earlier and a lot of good games here in this window. Looks like Kentucky's about to punt here. So this line has upticked up to four and a half now for Alabama being favored as Alabama's getting ready to punt. Or excuse me, Alabama is getting ready to receive the punt. So Ed, we're definitely keeping an eye on that Oregon game seven minutes and 23 seconds left to go in that one. Oregon now with the ball, but on their own side of the field at their own 31 as we're getting down to the last few minutes in that one. And yeah, it's for the first time we saw Oklahoma State favor just a few minutes ago, but Oregon has the ball. Now they have it. Some other BYU still up 14 to 10 on Arizona. We're waiting for Oklahoma State to come back from commercial. That's why we're kind of keeping an eye on that one. And so yeah, the, you know, Alabama now with the ball on their own side of the field, Lexington against Kentucky. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm watching this game. And there's a lot of fans in Kentucky that are you, you don't see the, the white pom

palms out for Kentucky football. You don't see the fans for Kentucky football that you've seen today. And I know it's a lot of the coach kind of egging them on. But yeah, Kentucky football, a lot of people think this is a change in the kind of the culture there for Kentucky football. So we'll see what happens there going forward. But yeah, Kentucky has come to play as they like to say coming up today as we're keeping an eye on these games now in complete pass for Oregon. Second in 10 now about seven minutes to go on that one. Anything else you've got an eye on right now, Will, we do see Washington finally overcoming a deficit at home against Utah State. They're up 10 seven on Utah State now. Anything else you're keeping an eye on right now, Will? No, Bama's got the ball. Looks like the board is not happy about something. I guess they called it illegal touch. I'm not sure. Yeah, they got a flag. He was here. What? Yeah, I couldn't tell. I caught it late here. Look like a big play was wiped out. So it's going to be second and 15. Bama behind the sticks. Remember, Bama will start with the ball here is where six minutes left in the half. Bama will start with the ball in the third quarter. So not quite into position where, and it looks like they're going backwards here. I think with a fall start, maybe they got a timeout

before that. But not quite into position where you could double dip, but just always keep in mind who does start with the ball in the third quarter. In this case, it's Bama and the board is losing his mind because they call the fall start. He wanted to time out. And this is now a couple flags that have gone against Bama. It's now second and 20. So you figure Kentucky if nothing else can get the ball back and at least not give Alabama the chance to double dip possession at the end of the half and beginning of the second half. Yeah, we're keeping an eye on that one as we're trying to really kind of figure out what's going on in all these because yeah, I'm watching trying to watch all these cases at the same time. You're right. Well, when people say, it's easy to just roll out of bed and watch football games, but it's a lot more difficult to sit here and try to keep up with it as Alabama completes a little, no, they don't complete a screen pass out here. And it looks like they're going to have a third and 20 against Kentucky here. And if Kentucky gets this ball back, they'll have about five minutes or so to go. And we'll see what they can do with it. But yeah, the live, the live betting lines are now telling you minus two and a half for Alabama as they are now at 53 and a half total. So

as we're going into that one and we are keeping an eye now, Oregon, that Oklahoma state line is now Oklahoma state minus four and a half.
