God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Stuegots. Thank you, buddy. Just me and you today. And bear in about 10 minutes. Yes. Bears in London. He is there for Kansas and Arizona State. We will talk to him again in about 10 minutes. We had an NFL game last night. Mikey, a couple of decent college football games coming up tonight. Nice college football weekend, game of the year. LSU and Mrs. Sippy. And then of course the NFL. And on Sunday, we'll forget everything we saw on Saturday night. Because that's what the NFL does. What you make of the bills last night. They opened up their new stadium, beautiful stadium. It's nice. Josh Allen is overwhelming. My God, Mikey. It is so disheartening to watch that man play football because you can do everything right. And he'll still beat you in some way. I'm just curious how, why does he hate James Cook so much?

Why does he hate James Cook? And I'm saying this as a James Cook fantasy football owner. I'm wondering why do you hate him so much that you take all of that man's touchdowns? Because he does. Two of them last night James Cook still gave you one. He gave you 135 yards. If you have them on fantasy, you had a good game. I mean, yeah, but I mean, listen, when you're playing Josh Allen and you have James Cook, everyone of those seems a little bit more painful. Yes, but that's why some people would say stay away from James Cook. Because Josh Allen's going to take some of those russians touchdowns, you know, some not all. I mean, come on, man. I want to give you the stats here on Josh Allen. I'll give you two games. It's like video game stuff, man. He has completed 67% of his passes. That's good. Two games. And one of them was against Houston and that defense. 582 yards. He has five touchdown passes. And I'm certain he's rushed for, I don't know,

three or four more. So let me check. He has nine touchdowns in two games. Josh Allen has rushed for four thrown for five. Has it turned the ball over? He is playing the game. He is playing that position, Mikey. Really? And I hope he wins a Super Bowl. I do my root for that guy. I would like to see him win a Super Bowl. I'd like to see Lamar win a Super Bowl. You're shaking your head. No, but I am telling you, he is playing that game as well as you can play. He is playing that position, Mikey, as well as the position can be played. Two things can be true at the same time. And what you said is absolutely true. There's no denying it. He is playing that, that position so well right now that you can't blitz him, which, which takes away an entire defensive scheme. You can't blitz him because all he'll do is run outside and either hit a big pass or he'll run for 17 yards. And now your defense is gassed. He puts so much pressure on opposing defenses and he puts even more pressure on opposing offenses because it's almost like

you can't punt. You can't punt because when he gets the ball, he's going to score. Yes. That being said, I hate him. I hate him for so many reasons. Right. I think, I think you can be a whiner in the NFL. Tom Brady was a whiner. Every time Tom Brady was breathed on wrong, he called for a flag. You can do that. I respect that. You could be a tough guy. Baker may feels a tough guy. Baker may feel it's going to put his shoulder down. He's going to tackle. You're going to tackle him. He's going to get up and he's going to flex on you. Yeah. You could be that, but you can't be both. And Josh Allen tries to be both. He'll put his head down. He'll run you over and then all of a sudden when he gets touched in the pocket, he'll go, where's my flag? Where's my flag? Josh Allen is my least favorite player in the NFL. That being said, we are watching probably the surest hall of fame start of a season that I've ever seen. He could be your least favorite player in the NFL, but you respect the hell out of them though. You wish you. How do you

not? Of course. How do you like when you're talking about him whining a little bit, you're just finding things to pick at because I can't imagine the amount of calls that aren't made. Hey, Josh Allen. Yeah. Listen, such a physical style. He also flops a lot. And that's I don't know. There's plenty of evidence of that. It's good. It's not that it's not the flopping. I don't mind the flopping. I respect the flopping, but then you can't run somebody over. You can't do both. That's all I'm saying. You can flop and scream it. He killed me. He killed me and then throw a 30 yard, you know, passed down the field for a touchdown. You can do that. Or you can run people over. You can do that too, but you can't do both. You can't be this physical specimen who's hurting people when they try and tackle you and then scream when someone breathes on your own. You can't do both. I understand what you're saying. You're very passionate about that. She can't do both. I got it. I am not certain a player means more to his city and his organization that Josh Allen means to that city and that organization. Can you think maybe Lamar Jackson, if I'm being honest, Lamar means that much to Baltimore to that organization.

And to that city, that city loves Lamar Jackson and they should. Both of them are all time great. I hope they both win a Super Bowl, but Allen means so much. He loves being a Buffalo Bill. And the bills love having him as their quarterback. And I hope they win a Super Bowl, but I don't think Bill's fans are going to look at him any differently. If he does it win one, you know, I really don't know. You kind of have to, right? They love him. Yeah, they do love Jim Kelly, but Jim Kelly, I don't, I don't know if you can love somebody. I mean, I don't know if you can love him as much as that if he doesn't win one because he didn't run into a juggernaut the way the bills ran into the cowboys. Right. I mean, you could say the chiefs, but the chiefs weren't in it last year and neither were you. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like at some point, Josh Allen always messed up in the playoffs. And I'm not trying to, I'm not continuing my hatred of him in that. That's just the fact. At some point, he didn't, he didn't get it done in the playoffs. It's not apples to apples.

That's fair because what Jim Kelly did was take his team to four consecutive Super Bowls. They should have won the first one against the giant. You're right. They ran into a juggernaut the next three, but they were so resilient. And Kelly was in the middle of all of that in terms of being able to lose the Super Bowl not once, not twice, not three times, four times, and still get back there. Right. Yes. And so Buffalo loved him for that. He made it to four did one, but they almost feel bad for, you know, with Josh Allen, I do wonder what happens there if Josh Allen never makes it to a Super Bowl, right? If Buffalo fans will embrace them the way they've embraced Jim Kelly. It's an interesting conversation. Yes. From the other side, are you worried about the Lions? Yeah, they have a problem on defense. Yeah. I'm very worried about that. They don't only have a problem on defense. I mean, the defense was, the defense was not good. But again, you can chalk it up to, hey, that's Josh Allen, but he didn't look good against Tyler. They didn't look good against Tyler Shuck in the Saints either. Yeah. And the offense, I think in the beginning, they had a game plan

and it was awful. And then towards halftime and the second half, they said, okay, we're going to throw out our game plan and we're just going to chuck it to Amon Ross St. Brown as much as possible. Yes. They've given up 72 points through two games, Mikey. And again, you're right. One was Buffalo used to give up a lot of points to Buffalo, but it's the 30 points they gave up to to the Saints that I'm concerned about. They should have given up more points to the Saints. But unlike Buffalo, Mikey, Buffalo can give up 30 points and Josh Allen's going to score 40. Detroit can't give up 30 to 35 points every night because their offense isn't going to score 45 every night. Josh Allen is, you know, crazy. And their offense is high powered Detroit. It's good. Think about it. They are a failed two point conversion away from being 0 and 2. Yes. Wow. Yes. The Lions. Yeah. The bill is two and oh man, overwhelming, overwhelming, and yet somehow I feel like he's still not going to win the Super Bowl this year. It is time for this week's edition of Stuy

Agats. Two and four last week in college, five and one in the NFL. Let's start with the college slate. Big college football weekend coming up. I am six and six on the season. As we head into this monster college football weekend, let's start with tonight's game Miami minus 20 and a half. They're taking on wake forest. The deakes Miami to me is the most talented team in the country. This is a game where they would normally struggle. I think Miami wins and they blow out the two and oh wake forest demon deacons. The canes minus 20 and a half by it down to 20. The canes win by 34 points on the road. It's a blowout. Wake Forest tonight. Texas Tech staying with Friday night. They are minus this is a sneaky big game right here, Mikey A. Texas Tech is minus seven and a half. They're at home. They're taking on Houston. Buy it down to seven. Take tech. They win. They cover Texas Tech by 14 points at home. Louisville. Another sneaky big game. Take it on SMU. Louisville minus one

and a half. They win. They cover Louisville by a touchdown. North Dakota plus 24 to half. At Nebraska. This is more of a bet against Nebraska than it is on North Dakota. I have no idea if North Dakota is any good. In fact, when I asked Mikey what the line was, I asked him if it was North Dakota state. It's not. It's North Dakota. They're plus 24 and a half. They're at Nebraska. Nebraska will win. But they're not beating anyone. I want to 24 points this year. I'm sorry. Nebraska wins. North Dakota covers Nebraska by 14 points at home. Another big underdog Michigan State Pat Fitzgerald plus 29 and a half at Notre Dame. Buy it up to 30. Mikey is laughing at me. Notre Dame wins Michigan State covers Notre Dame by 21 points at home. And finally, the big game of the weekend. It is Mississippi. It is LSU Mississippi plus two and a half at home. Buy it up to three. But I do think Mississippi wins the game

outright. Mississippi wins. They cover Mississippi by a field goal. Let's get to the NFL week two here. Five and one. A week ago. Five and one. That felt good, Mikey. It's rare that I get off to a five and one start. You impressed a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. But I was still angry at you about college. So. Yeah, thank you. And taking a chance. Even the lake covered right. I'm going to do it again. No spoiler alert. Uh here we go. NFL box minus six and a half. Eight and a half. I'm sorry. They're taking on the Browns. This is more of bad against the Browns. And it is on the box. Although the bucks need to win this game. The Browns are really bad. They are just bad. Uh the bucks need it. They have to get this win. They are minus eight to have. Buy it down to eight. The bucks win by 17 points at home against the Cleveland Brat. We go to New York. Jets home opener. Want to know? Take it on the O. O. One Packers. Jets are plus three and a half at home. Buy it up to four. Doesn't matter. Jets win the game outright. They beat the Packers and win by three points at home. We go to Foxboro. Patriots. Take it on the

Steelers. The Steelers didn't win a game last week. The Falcons lost the game. I am going to take the Patriots. They need this game. They're O and one. Don't want to start the season. Oh, and two. The Steelers. They got to win already. So not as urgent as the Patriots are going to be minus four and a half. Buy it down the four Patriots. Win and cover. Patriots by 10 points at home. There's Caleb Williams. Best quarterback in the history of the NFL. Taking on Carson. Once I think maybe it's Kyler Murray. I have no idea. The Vikings have no idea on a week to week basis. Buy it down the four Chicago wins. They cover the bears by 13 points at home. Chiefs minus six and a half. They're taking on the Colts. This is Sunday night football. Is that right Mike? Danny Don. Sunday night football. Chiefs. Why did I go Danny Don's and not Patrick Mahomes? Yes. I guess I'm wondering why the Colts are playing on Sunday night football. But the chiefs are minus six and a half. Buy it down to six. The chiefs win. They cover the chiefs by 14 points at home.

And finally Jackson Dart. The giant plus seven and a half Monday night football. They're at the Rams. Man do the Rams need this. It'd be interesting if the Rams started the season. Oh, and two. The giant Ernie got a victory. They're wanted out. Buy it up to eight. The Rams are going to win. The giants will cover the Rams by four and Jackson Dart. Them boys get the cover.

on a Boost Unlimited Plan. God bless college football, Mikey. Hey God bless all football bear. I'm going to football mate. He is in London for the big Arizona State Kansas till I am. I've seen a couple at the City European football match. Crystal Palace. Beliege match on Thursday night, which was fantastic. They won 4-0. I am going to Bournemouth on Sunday to watch the Ripple Bournemouth down on the South Coast. So fun fun fun times here in and around the little work week. Mikey, why are you wencing? Why are you making a face? What happened there? Because he said he saw a match where one team didn't score and he said it was fantastic. And I'm just wondering why. Thank you. Finally,

someone on my side. We three-know-it-half time. There was a penalty kicker. There was a penalty kick in the first half. I mean, three-know-it-half time is like being down 49, nothing in a football. There was a red card in the second half and the the lec, the Polish team, the fans, they traveled at the 65 minute, 65 minute, decided to let off this unbelievable show of flares and lights and fire. It was great. It was like their entire section was on fire with fire. I didn't care that they were down 3-0. They were there to have a good time. How are you going to navigate? I can't imagine too many fans from Kansas traveled to England. No, they did. Arizona State is not there. Why would Arizona State go to England? I've gotten stopped in the streets by both Arizona State fans and Kansas fans. We saw both of the soccer match last night. They're people that plan like vacations around this as well.

I don't think it's going to be 80,000 people at Wembley like the stadium holds, but they're more people here than I think you would expect. How many hours ahead are you right now? I am five hours ahead of you. So, Mikey, what I'm wondering here is how bear is going to navigate the game of the year. LSU and Mississippi, I think it kicks off at 730 or 8 o'clock, which is like two in the morning his time. How are we going to navigate this? It's a problem. 12, 12, 30 AM London time is not it's it's not going to happen for me. Unfortunately, the good news bear is being where you are. You could probably avoid spoilers. So, if you could somehow record the game, maybe get it on your phone. You could wake up. I don't know what your travel schedule is, but that might be a nice thing to watch on the plane ride home. Sounds like you can you can navigate some stuff. It's nearly impossible to do it that way. These days it is. It's impossible. The last time I did it was when a horse was running for the triple crown at the Belmont and somehow I imagine to avoid it the entire

day. I just thought it was possible, but Mikey's right. That's a great way to go home. It is watching that game. It is. I could probably navigate that would be a good way to occupy the the train ride from London to Bournemouth on Sunday morning. There you go. Perfect. Yeah. Right on. I knew we keep you around for some reason. Bear, what do you imagine? We've had so many people on talking about this game. What do you imagine that scene is going to be like Oxford, Mississippi on Saturday night? It is going to be an absolute hate fest and it's going to be absolutely glorious. Yeah. But there is genuine hate and disdain there. It's an awesome setting for college football in the Grove. But they literally hate Lane Kiffin and Lane loves being the villain. He truly, he is totally fine with it. Just I am the villain. I am the character. They hate me. Fine. Good. I think he absolutely loves it.

In terms of the game, I kind of like all miss a little bit in this game. I know I am in the minority here. I wonder about all miss, I mean, Ellis used offence just a little bit. Levitt was more running around in the opener against Clemson. Then they finally got it going against a bad lot tech team in the second half. But I think that home field is going to count for something and with Lucas Cunjaro there, they're kicker. He is an absolute weapon. So like close game, I certainly think favors Ole Miss and I don't know if either team is capable of blowing out one of the other. Bear, do you like being at games like this? Like as in your job because I imagine that for everybody else, it's this this role thing. But for you, it's work and you're like, how the hell am I going to get out of here when the show is done? Now I've got to deal with all this. Is this something you like or is it more of just a nuisance for you? I know he's talking about the like either where I am right

now and London or about. No, no, he's saying if you had to work a game like this, would you enjoy it? Would you go to a game like this if you weren't working? Oh, God, yes. Yeah. Great. It would be great because I love the scene. I love I love the raw emotion. I love the flavor. And I've always said college football needs characters. Yeah. What makes it great and to have a character like Lane and the fans and kind of we go from loving him last year to completely hating him right? I would love to be there this weekend. But how about from a work standpoint? If big noon was at this game and you're working the game, it's a different atmosphere for you, right? Because you're working. It's a much better atmosphere. That's where Mikey was getting to. Yeah. But content I know is much better. I'm just sitting there going the logistics of trying to get in and out of there. All that's it's like, oh my God, I don't care. Just get me home.

No, I never thought it the only time I would think about it that way, as if it was like a a really, really late night and it was kind of like one road in, one road out type of deal. But for the show content with the signs and man on the street, of course, all the elements, it kind of I can remember being there in the Grove in 2014 for the Alabama Ole Miss game when Ole Miss wound up going to number one Ole Miss beat Alabama that day and why not getting ranked number one in the country. And it was like the perfect was that first trip there. And the scene was great. The storyline was great. It built up in like our show kind of kicked off. What at the time was like arguably the greatest day Ole Miss football history, but I'm saying Alabama at the end of the day. Len Kiffin, this is a win-win situation for him because I believe that he'll figure out a way to give himself credit regardless of who wins the game. I built that team over there that beat my LSU team where I'm so far, this is why I left Mississippi to go to LSU

because he's that kind of guy. The Sam Levitt report, that made you laugh out loud, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, you unbelievable. And then we'll put Levitt on there. We put weeks on there. We put just put all my best players on there. The number of people that believe that that was an accurate injury report, I hope would be like under 0.5%. I love your point about Lane. That is a great point because if they do lose, it's going to be a lot of those guys around my team and it was good to see the day could drop. Enough energy and iron animosity to hate me so much and I got the motivated to beat me. Right, and it will take me a minute to get LSU to where I got Mississippi. Just give me a minute, right? A classic win-win. So it seems like just to be clear to the audience here. Is this a confident lean on Mississippi here? It is, I wouldn't say a confident lean. It's a lean.

It's one of those where if I got to circle the circle, the number on the old pool pick this week, I'll take Ole Miss, but I'm not going to get too heavily involved in the real money in bitten this one. So interesting games tonight. There's one sneaky big game tonight, but this is interesting. Miami plays tonight. How are you going to navigate that? They're at way fours. Take it on the deeks. The deeks are two and no. I love the games tonight by the way, but how are you going to navigate watching your hurricane at three in the morning? I don't think it's going to happen. Unfortunately, I might be able to make the first half from like 12.30 to maybe 2 a.m. But I don't think we're going to, hopefully it won't be a game and hopefully we don't have to worry about it. Fortunately, it's not going to happen. I'm also concerned about the other game. Can I? Texas Tech, Houston Games, the second best. That's the sneaky big game. Yeah. I love Texas Tech in this game, by the way. Do you? Yeah, I see it's seven and a half. Houston feels like a dog with fleas. In my opinion,

everybody is high on Houston after last week, Texas Tech went to Oregon State. It was a four quarter game, but the Oregon State played Houston to a four quarter gaming. Houston earlier this year as well. So I'm not buying it. I think it's a great buy low spot for for Texas Tech and the atmosphere there. Lubbock at night is going to is a weird place. I think they're going to be getting after it. I think that home field is going to make a difference. I think it might have been just a little bit of a look ahead for last week up in up in Corvallis for the Red Raiders. It does concern me a little bit that they did have that wild card, well wild package rather. Tommy Castlinos in there, which get to make much sense. Are they trustworthy? I mean, but I think this is a great spot for Texas Tech and the discounter number. All right. We wrote that down. Mikey. We have that. Yes. He gets mad at me every time I ask. If what do you have on that piece of paper? Is it just say Texas Tech and Mrs. Sippy right now?

It's bears pets from last week and then they could see right there. It's this Texas Tech. He's got a ledger for badger. Which is how I lost two went one in four last week. I didn't go one in five. How about the week before I went four or two? I mean, what have you done for me lately? Well, the latest thing I did was five and one on NFL picks, okay? The most recent thing I've done. Bear, what do you make here of Oregon losing that game to Oklahoma State? Dan landing for me is I like the guy. I know his players like him. I know the schools and love with him. For me, he is as overrated a coach. We have in America. He is. I love Dan as a person too. I put you in a bad spot. I know you did. You could put me in a bad spot. I really did. Don't say it. I said it. Okay. But that was a horrible loss. Yes. You can't lose that game. You beat that team 69 to three. I think it was last year.

And you go on that. I expected them. I think we might have talked about it last week. Maybe they get maybe you start slow because of the early kick and then you get into it. But for a defensive line that's supposed to be one of the best defensive lines in the country, they get you couldn't get a stop. The offensive line looked very problematic. It looked like an issue there with two new coordinators where maybe he's kind of regretting. Some of those high-risk down to more has been sporadic. There have been some reports that maybe he's a little beat up and allegedly had a hamstring issue, which I don't know about. But that was a, is it going to be maybe a wake up loss like Ohio State had in 2014 when you lost a game to Virginia Tech is a big favorite at home and then you go on and win the national tie. I don't know. They'll win by a million over a reporting state. I would expect. But that game next week USC really determines their fate like they have to win that game.

Or else then you're putting yourself in a position where you're going to have to win at Ohio State at the end of the year to make the college football playup. So that's going to be an interesting spot next week in the Coliseum organ at USC. I would look ahead and line on that game. I remember was an organ minus 10 and now I believe it's a candle. It's now to 1 1 and a half or so. So hopefully if you you bought some USC early on, you're in a great spot. But yeah, I'm, I'm befuddled by organ. I thought they had the fewest amount of questions of any team coming into the country. Cheshire Schwartz, my co-host on Bearbats, watches the offensive line religiously and he did not like what he saw there. So right. At least Ohio State had at least Ohio State can justify, hey, had a good loss. It's against Texas. It's on the road. It was a close game. Orget landing needs to hope that Oklahoma State is good for the remainder of the year. Right? And that's a thing. Or Oklahoma State was a team that people thought could kind of be a little bit

of a dark or sleeper contender in the big 12 and they lost to Tulsa the week before. Everyone's like, oh my god, or Oklahoma State must absolutely stink. And I think that was added to the total shock for you. But I'm glad you brought up Ohio State because I don't know how you can downgrade off of that game. It was a game they should have been leading by a hell of a lot more going into half time. A couple of empty red zone trips and short field goals. And they led for the majority of the game. Right. And get tired out late like 370 Euro drives because kind of got manhandled late in that heat. So maybe that's a concern. But I don't know. To me, that game counts like a half loss. Right. Even it's a tie break at the end of the year. Yes. But not in there. Nine and three and someone else is 10 and two or like Ohio State gets the edge for going down there playing. I will say there is a situation with Ohio State where this Julian saying maybe have a big game problem. But you look at that game. He missed some throws. You look at the you

look at the Indian you look at the Indiana game. And the big 10 championship game was not great. Miami was not great. So like he's going to have to win one of these games. I think, or you don't necessarily have to be a superstar. You don't have to be at your best. You just have to go out and play a play. Play fine. And he had a couple of issues. So that that might be a little bit of a storyline as the season goes on. But Ohio State like clearly they install well in control of their playoff destiny. Well, get to your picks in a second. Check out his podcast wherever you get your podcast bear bets doing fantastic. Am I crazy to like Miami minus 21 over Wake Forest tonight? I'm working out my picks here, Mikey. I'm ready. Give your picks. I know, but I'm checking with bear to see if he's okay with them. I feel better about him going into the weekend. You know, I couldn't play Wake Forest. It's something. One thing I hate about

these big numbers is at some point, they are going to have potentially an off night where you're not throwing five touchdowns and three in completions. And it doesn't all click on the road. And you allow you allow the watch tonight because they are down guys in the secondary. And the weight in geolope is in the Wake Forest offense is pretty good and can hit on some big plays. Would not surprise me to see Wake Forest score some points tonight. All right. Take the cadence off. I'm like, yeah, I don't get about. I would take the over if you had to take anything of that game. Yes. By the way, I think that's a good idea. A good loss should be a half a loss. I'd be okay if Ohio State was one and a half and half. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. I have your affirmation. That's all I need. It's a good idea. Who's the committee that gets to decide? What's a good loss? Yeah. I mean, Texas on I don't know. It's a good question. I haven't thought it through yet. But Texas,

you know, winning at home against Ohio says, I'm a bad loss. Ohio State was in the game. Should have won the game. It's not a bad loss. So then Texas should have gotten a good loss last year when they lost out of Ohio State. No. Fair. Yes. But I'm just implementing the rule this year. I mean, can't wait. Thank you, director. That's the misnomer about last year. And people are kind of harping on that. Oh, why do you why are you playing these games? It costs Texas at college for ball play. No, it didn't. Right. Texas. I tried to play us about last year. We're surviving against Mississippi State and losing it. It flared in a bed poor fashion. And all those close-up league calls they had throughout the year, they did not play their best football. Right. So the very very end of the season. And it was what happened in between there that ultimately cost them a spot. It was all right. Yes, you're right. Let's get to your picks here for this weekend. I don't know. Mikey, we should have a way to do this like medal stand. I don't know. We just, I feel bad. We just put bear out there. He gives us a handful of picks. You know, he has a

class of five. They're five star four star three star. I mean, anyway, go ahead. What do you like to this week? I tech mentioned Texas tech. That's the game I like. I already put it in. I put it in. I like South Carolina, laying three and a half against Mississippi State. Yes. Mike, Mississippi State last week. And we had them. And they were an easy winner in Minnesota. But I don't think this week, the hype trains filling up on the Bulldogs. And Camario Taylor is now a name that everybody knows quarterback. Probably a little bit of a bad spot for them going to South Carolina who gets their best defensive player, Dylan Stewart back. Lennara Sellers is showing a little bit more of the running game ability that he showed a couple of years ago that made him a very highly thought of quarterback. This feels like a really good spot for South Carolina, laying three and a half. I like them. All right. The play Northwestern is school near and dear to your heart.

Yeah. Laying three and a half against Colorado. Colorado had that big win in Atlanta against George Tech earlier in the year. I think what we're going to see is the year goes on that might be more of a reflection on George Tech than it was Colorado. Certainly you control the line of scrimmage around the ball a little bit better, but Northwestern in that running game. I think they can have success against Colorado. So I laid the three and a half with Northwestern there. I like that they're decent team. They just extended their head coach. But yeah, they are decent team. I like that at home. Yes. Go ahead. I like Maryland plus the three against Virginia Tech. Another one of those underrated hate type games. James Franklin bringing Virginia Tech to Maryland. So I think Maryland plus the three is the right side there. And I'm going to hold my nose. One more time. I love that. I love this. The whole last week of the week. Yes. Yes. Yes. And I'm going to take Florida State plus the points against Alabama.

Okay. Can you do it while holding your nose though? You have to do it. I can't believe I'm doing this. Who feet? Florida State plus the points against Alabama. Alabama had that great second half in Kentucky last week. Nobody wants a piece of Florida State right now with how they played. And that loss against us and you, the fans are booing Mike Norbell on the team. Alabama, of course, is going to blow them out after losing Florida State last year. Just seems like a lot of points here. It does seem like a lot of points here. Everyone is just assuming that Alabama is going to win this game by three, four touch counts. And they might. But I think Florida State will hang around just to look at Chroma and the running game is they've been pretty good. No action. And it's can't throw work the lick. Yes. So that that'll be a big problem. You're not saying Florida State's going to win. You're saying Alabama a little bit of a letdown spot. They're going to win. Not just not cover the spread. That's all. What's going to say? Do you know what 3417 is? Cover. Yes. It's a win for you. Right.

You got your Carolina blue on tonight. What do you think of the Tar Heels and going to go on to Clemson this week? I wear this because I only have five of them. And they're all different colors. I wear them in rotation. Mikey A is nodding his head. So I just happened to wear Carolina blue today. I listen. We did win loss with Carolina before the season started. And I had them going undefeated. I love. Yes. But I will tell you this. If they lose two or three games, Belicex getting fired. There's smoke around that thing. Man. It's crazy. It's kind of ugly around there right now. It's got like one party is gone. Yeah. It's probably problematic. All right. Well, bear. We appreciate it. Enjoyed London. It's almost dinner time for you. What Mikey? What happened? What bear doesn't watch any NFL? We're not doing any NFL with bear. I'm sorry. I forgot about the NFL picks. My bad. Yes. Mikey. Oh, well, I didn't know how focused he was because he's in London. He had long travels. I didn't know, you know, he's not going to be able to watch some of these games. I didn't know if he was going to

pick him. What am I talking about? It's bear. He picked these games seven weeks ago. Mikey, I'm sorry. I didn't see a second to the bills game last night just because I get it. It was all good. Yeah. Yeah. I'll save you the watch. The bills are very good. Yes. I saw the final score. And final score was a liar. I will tell you this. I was like, I like the Lions. I told Taylor. I'm in a suicide pool. And I already chose the Lions to win the game. And Taylor talked me out of it. I ended up taking Buffalo. And I'm glad that he did. So yes. Yeah. But the final score, and this was a, it was a high with the highest scoring week one ever. Like the games are kind of non dramatic, non compelling and like kind of boring when it's like, oh, well, how many places are going to take the score, touch down this time? Oh, how many days are going to, like, there are any stops. Yeah. I mean, listen, you get the ball. You're basically in scoring range because team cross gets like the 45 minutes of 61 yard field goal. And oh,

it's good. It's good. Like, you got to add some defense back in this game a little bit of trauma. Yeah. Not everything could be four nil bear. And if you want defense in the NFL, just watch the Steelers. I mean, but did they get to play Cooper Rush every week? That's a good point. Right. Well, then just watch whoever is playing Cooper Rush that week. Hope you the Carolina Panthers this week. Yeah. Uh, Carolina is a very interesting team and entertaining team. Uh, so who do you like here, bear? Uh, by the way, again, I was five and once do you got to the four and one or five and one last week. Uh, no, it was five and one. It was five and one. It was five and one. Mikey's going to hate this. I love the jets at home. So anyway, who do we like, bear? I like the Titans. I know that's horrible to say. They're terrible last week. Bear. The Eagles only got 10 first downs in that game. Yeah. Should he hold his nose, Mikey? I mean, I mean, I don't know how he's not. I'm holding it.

I'm going to hate tights. What's seven points against the Eagles? How can they be any worse? I think the Titans defense can is still serviceable. Uh, and like, as I just said, Eagles' offense was more of a big play type of thing. A couple of big scoring plays 10 first downs in the game. I don't know. Seven, seven points with an absolute disgusting ugly dog. I mean, that that seems like potentially, uh, you're going to look down at like the, the picks distribution this week and you're going to see about 75% of the tickets on the, on the Eagles and you never want to be on that side. Even though I will say in the NFL, it's kind of been the way it's gone. lately. I do like the patriots as well against the Steelers. The bounce back. I think it's a bounce back. I think the Steelers win was more about the Atlanta Falcons in Cooper Rush being absolutely get trotious. Playing that defensive score. I know no

A.J. Brown, but I would think that the hope as long as as long as the offensive line of the of the patriots can, can block a little bit. I think they'll be okay in those games. So those are my two favorite games that we, and I think, I think I'd like the Houston Texans as well as a bronze metal play. And Cincinnati, and not just because you hear of this injury report about burrow, but like the Bengals, that shouldn't have been a game last week with Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay, just turned the ball over a million times. And if they turn it over once instead of four times, they probably go to Cincinnati and Wednesday. I think my bucks might be a little bit overrated or a little, yeah, bucks a little underrated. I think at this point, the Bengals might be a little bit overrated coming off of that winning. You never want to say, oh, it's a must win. It's do or die week two. But if the Texans lose this game, they're all going to against two seeming contenders in the AFC. And who knows what that does in terms of seedings, potential wild card,

whatever else. It really is a must win. You got to be a little bit impressed, excited, positive, optimistic on the Texans offense last week, put up all those points to say. Yeah. Well, those are my key was signed because you know that defense is going to show up every single week. But the big question you had was CJ Stroudy made the turn over late. He made some bad plays late. But if they put up 30 plus points, they're going to win just about every game. Yeah. All right, Barron Joy London. We appreciate the time. As always, hopefully you'll be able to avoid the LSU Mississippi score. I'm on the train to play wherever the hell you're going. We love you, buddy. Bearbatch checking out wherever you get your pocket. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, guys. Sponsored by GSK, the makers of Extension, Depemocha Mab, ULA.
