Good morning everyone, welcome to the early edge. Brought to you by BedMGM, make it legendary. My name is Cinejade. We've got a great show for you today. We're done with Monday night football. We've got a lot of baseball and soccer. Got some college football to talk about. Now I'm going to give you a pick for the built-more championship. But first look outright. Let's take a look at how we did outright yesterday on the recap screen. Man, I wish I had at least added the rush the pass attempts under with BoNix because that would have hit. But my Broncos Plus 2 and Half was kind of hilarious. The football picks don't go very well. Larry Hartstein hits his with Kenneth Walker. The baseball picks pick us up. We go three and four overall. That's certainly not going to get it done. But we've got a couple of picks to improve that right off the bat. We're going

4:11to go with EC's Cleveland Guardians, Moneyline Pick at minus 125. And the Cubs first five, Moneyline minus 130 courtesy of the very sharp Jeff Hockman. Let's bring in the stars of the show to get some more picks, some more conversation and some more winners. We've got Brad Thomas. We got buckets. We got A-mags. We got the sniper. Brad, I'm going to go to you first. I assume you watched Monday night football last night. I know you've got soccer picks in college football for today's show. Your reaction to Chiefs Broncos. Man, the Chiefs are going to be dangerous with a good running game. Kenneth Walker, absolute beast. The defense actually was where I was most impressed. Because that was probably their biggest issue, but it's deep-specnellier, right? He's never has back defenses in back-to-back years, even with the new changes starting so many rookies on that, what three, starting rookies on that defense. I thought they were phenomenal. Sniper didn't Kenneth Walker remind you of like an old school running back. I don't know like a Jamal Lewis or a priest Holmes or Christian Acoiae. People just could not tackle him. They were slipping off. Yeah, that was, I love the Acoiae

5:15reference there. That was great. Yeah, of course. I just had one thing that I wanted to bring up today. Fun fact, no year in history has it comes in Bears player ever won MVP. I just wanted to say that. Oh, well, Sniper, that's actually a pretty good segue. Later on in the show, I'm going to reveal my top 32 quarterbacks for 2026. I can tell pretty much everybody you're all going to be very, very angry. Okay. Look, Mike Gittins, like the midteens, I'm excited for that. He actually is in the midteens. Well, the lower midteens do his credit buckets. Do you know who Christian Acoiae is? Yep. Okay. Anything else to add? Nope. Okay. A-max, we got a 15 game MLB slate. You got a couple of picks for us today? Yeah, I do. I can, I can lead the show off if you want. See you, but I also want to give a quick shout out. Mike McCleur in the chat. Yesterday on the show, he mentioned that ladder on rushing attempts

6:19for Kenneth Walker. So that was, that was a great hit. And then I had mentioned the two touchdowns. So I actually had a pretty good night there. I think it was a good, it was a good game for us. If you were kind of watching in between the, reading between the lines here on the show. So, you know, good day there. And then yeah, a lot of baseball back today. Yeah, I will say even on the show, I think we all liked the Larry's pick. That 15-and-a-half, I mentioned it could be 16-and-a-half. And I still would have liked the over. I thought that was a super sharp play, certainly from Mike, but also Larry Hardstein for the recap screen. So good stuff. There. I'll tell you what, we're going to kick things off with soccer. A lot of soccer, a lot of MLB, a lot going on in the chat with Q&A. Buckets kick us off here. We'll get past the Christian O'Coyay thing. Maybe you've got some soccer picks for us. Yeah, I've got two plays for everyone. And today is all about the cup action. We've got EFL Cup action. We've got Copa Italia. And I've got a bet from each of those competitions starting with the EFL Cup. Peter's bro are taking Peter Barrow. Peter, I can't say this damn team name. Christian O'Coyay. Christian O'Coyay is taking on Barnsley. And we're looking at goals in this game because when you look at a matchup like this,

7:20between two teams playing in a cup that also participate in the same league that are also playing poorly in that said league, you look at overs, you look at goals in this one. And I know with generic buckets, oh, all he does is bet on the overs. That's all I'm ever going to do. Grow up, get used to it. Maybe because I love my goals. Both teams of score. And over two and a half here is priced at minus one 15 just a tiny bit of juice here. But we've got two teams who defensively have been non-existent and more importantly for our wager. Even if they don't rotate, we have two teams missing starting defenders to injuries right now. I know we hate when people get hurt, but we love to bet on people who cannot play defense. And that's what we're doing when we're targeting this match. I expect this game to go over two and a half. I also expect it to go over three and a half and maybe over four and a half if you're looking for little ladder sprinkle action. And then bet number two, we go to Copa Italia as chip Patterson's The Orantina or an action once again on BPE Friday. We bet on the Orantina to score a couple of goals at plus 110. And I told everyone, listen, I know they've been bad. I know they're not scoring goals, but this

8:22team will eventually turn it around. They smacked four goals past Venetia in that Serie A matchup. But now they're taking a piece aside who is just not good enough to beat them, but they're good enough to score. It's like Dan Pandaman always says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We're going with both teams to score at minus 110 because fewer antenna, they're going to rotate here because they have to prep for more cereal action. And when they rotate, those backups are not going to be good enough to stop a piece of squad that has nothing to play for. They know they're a league down, they know that there's no expectations on their shoulders as they're plus 800 to win, but they're going to get a goal because anyone can score against fewer antenna right now. Baby, give me both teams to score. And I'll see you with two check marks tomorrow morning, Celia. Absolutely. Love it. Love the take. And I love that we've got Mike McClure in the chat. I am actually postponing his plans here because he says I was about to go to brunch, but now I may have to stay for these QB rankings, which will come up in just the next few minutes because I have Caleb top five. And I fear that Cia has him like 13th. Well, you know what's funny, Mike? I might actually have him 13th. I'm not referring to the list right now. It'll be revealed in a

9:25second. I might actually have him in that exact spot. Everybody's going to point in laugh at me, but we'll just have to wait and see for that. A Mags, we've got a birthday in the chat. Carson Bataly's birthday is in the chat. He has some baseball questions and you've got some baseball picks. Yes. So on that one real quick, it actually perfectly kind of lines up with what I'm going to talk about here with the Dodger. So I would go with Yamamoto to record the win there. I think taking an over on Miz's outs right now is just walking such a fine line. He's got to be a fish and he's got to be good. And then they still have to motivate it to push him through that number. So I think I'm good on betting the overs on Miz. But let's get to the Dodgers because that's the game that I'm looking at. Here I'm taking Dodgers on the team total over four and a half tonight. And there are some four and a halfs out there, but also some five and a halfs that plus one 12 plus one 10 or so. I wouldn't mind going for sixth run as well at the plus money here, but it mainly just breaks down to the fact that this lineup saw a retlota six days ago. They put seven runs on him in less than four innings. And that was a lineup that was missing Freddie Freeman and

10:29Shohe O'Tani who we saw Freeman out last night. Again, I think it was probably more due to the lefty lefty end knowing that he's been struggling with, you know, combined with having some injuries with the knee and everything. So there's just multiple factors. I think they sat him down last night. But I haven't seen much that says he isn't going to play tonight. And I think regardless, this is still a lineup that can hit you at over 12 from the top three hitters in this lineup last night. I think that's a serious outlier that we probably do not see again tonight. And when you have that familiarity where you just saw this guy, you put seven runs on him. Now you put him in Great American Ballpark instead of LA. I like the move here with the Dodgers as the away team to score a fifth run. Or even a sixth tonight at plus odds there. And then secondly, I mean, what a great story. We got Pita Lonzo back in New York facing the Metz. First time this has happened, right? This was, you know, to me when I was looking at a play today, I was like, regardless of the numbers and the price, I think that's a nice narrative play. And then we get a price here on Pita Lonzo over one and a half

11:31hits runs in RBI's right or minus one 10 on MGM. A great partner there. I don't know. Yeah, there we go. That great partner minus one 10. I think it's a great price here for a guy that's going to be near the top of the order. He should be in the scoring mix obviously on the away team. But it's also with Sean Menai. I think you can kind of target him. And while you look at Pita Lonzo, he isn't like a stellar hitter against lefties where he's, you know, worse against righties. And we would love to target a lefty. He's been better against lefties this year than in previous years a 260 hitter. And I think that that's, you know, a nice piece to have here. But then all of a sudden you look at the lineup. There are two really solid hitters against lefties who should be behind him and Kobe Mayo and Christian and Kronasio Strand. I think that those guys will help him to score a run if he's on base, even, you know, a single that could really help boost his runs there. So the hits runs in RBI's here think is a great look minus one 10 for Pita Lonzo. I'd love to see a home run. So I sprinkled on that. He didn't do anything last night in the returns. So I think this is probably the one where he does something. All right. So we

12:33snuck in a home run play as well. Yeah. Big Jesus says Pita Lonzo over one half hits runs RBI's minus one 10 going for number 300. And it would fit. He does it back in New York at city field. He says we've got a first time listener in the chat or our first time listener watching live on the show. I should say easy from the bergs as long time listener. But first time in the chat. Let's go. Thanks for being in here. Make sure you subscribe to that sports line channel. We've got some questions in the chat. And again, Carson, badly, happy birthday. Thanks for being in here so often. We've got some questions in the chat. Dodgers, run line is interesting. Are we going to cover that later? Oh, no, we're not. We're not going to go sniper Dodgers, run line your thoughts. Yeah, probably. I mean, it's young motor versus louder. And I like a meg's play of the over on the runs there. So yeah, yeah, I'm right. Thomas from James. How about Liverpool and Tottenham over three and a half goals. Buckets. I'm going to let you handle this next. Pass, pass, pass, time haven't scored a league goal all season, right? And then we'll just play that nil nil draw against full of them. I'm sure

13:36that there'll be some kind of goal action goal contributions in Tottenham in this game. But I just don't want it, right? Like we don't know if the linems are going to be expected rotation. Not for me. There's so many good games today. Don't waste your money trying to figure out what the hellspers are going to do right now. As Brad mentioned, they haven't scored yet this season in premier league play, which is crazy considering they talent they have. I did look at this game. If I was forced, you know, gun to my head buckets, you got to bet something or else Liverpool money line, parlayed with over one and a half goals gets you even money. I don't hate that shout or go the martin route. Liverpool money line plus under five and a half four and a half, whatever it is. And then see a I got a question in the sports line discord actually about my Peter. It's pronounced Peter Bra is how you say it. So that's good to know. But saying, yeah, what are your thoughts on that both team scored? You also like a team total. I like Peter Bra over one and a half team total as well. They are the team that I think will be the one to get to where more goals here. You can get that at the exact same odds of my parlay, but just a different way to play it if you only want to back one side buckets. You mentioned martin green. So let's let's ask Jacepi Marichino's question.

14:38Buckets, how do you feel about Arsenal money line and under three and a half and plus one or five? Ew. Ew. I hate. I just I have such I have such a disdain. And this is not a hot take. And this is every boring person that hates Arsenal says this. They're just I can't watch them. They're not fun. I can't mentally get over a team that can win every single game one. It's a good bet. Jacepi. It's a fantastic bet. They probably win this one. They'll two. Nil if it gets crazy. Maybe two. One. I can't put money on Arsenal. I hate martin. I hate Arsenal. I hate everyone in the chat. I just I don't want to trust this team anymore. I keep I keep getting burnt, betting on Arsenal score goals and they don't need to score goals. So I'm just I'm staying off of it. But Jacepi, I think it's a great show. Ben, please clip that in tag martin green. I also said I hate everyone in the chat. I'm sorry. I just kind of get rolling. I don't hate you guys. I love you guys. Sorry about Brad Thomas before we get to don't take that back. Yeah, you got to lean into it. Just like I'm going to lean into the QB rankings in a few minutes that people are definitely going to hate. Lotta Larry. I'm going to give this to Brad. Real Madrid halftime

15:41full time plus over two and a half is minus 120. Yeah, sure. I like that. I think Madrid come out swinging. L. T. I could see the crap ton of goals. I took Madrid's team total, right? Like almost every single club they face this season has scored at least three goals on them. Why would Madrid not? So yeah, I'm goal forward in this one. All right. We're going forward with a bet MGM promo. Bet MGM players will receive in any sport parlay boost today. Boost your parlay is in any sport when you use bet MGM.

We've got more soccer picks. We got college football to talk about. And of course, we got MLB picks from the sniper and the QB rankings all coming up right after this message from our partners.

We're back on the early edge map sniper. Let's get to your picks and then I'll do the QB rankings then we'll get to Brad. We're going to get to your picks after that and then we got we got a lot of Q&A to go through as well. But sniper you like to run line plays today the raise in the Phillies. Yes and I absolutely

19:54loved buckets doing his little sniper impression. That was also great. We're going to start with the raise. The raise have the A's at home, raise and A's that's kind of annoying. The raise are 50 and 25 at home. One of the best teams in the in all baseball really. The A's are 21 and 47 since June 26th an absolutely terrible team. This is an offense that looked like it might be good but they're without curts, hooker, sodas, strom, not stout at all. Griffin jacks has been mostly good this year. There's been a few conkers mixed in but I'm not worried about this A's lineup. And Jack Perkins on the mound for the A's 6.5 to ERA. The raise are going to knock him around. So I like the raise on the run line there. Also we're going to go to DC and we're going to go with the Phillies on the road here in Washington. The Nationals have basically packed things in. It was just right around the trade deadline when they were hovering around 500 and then they kind of threw in the towel 15 and 28 since July 28th. The Phillies are fighting for the playoffs

20:57positioning. Christopher Sanchez versus Jackson Kent seems pretty easy elementary here. We're going to go with the Phillies here to win it on the run line. All right. We like the Phillies minus 1.5. We like the raise minus 1.5. We mentioned we liked the Dodgers as well. And of course we like the Dodgers team total over 4.5. That's what that's a pick from a mags along with Peter Lonso. All right, Brad, before we get to your picks. And before I you know what, I'm just going to I'm just going to put the golf pick out there. Jackson Super was my first click at 45 to 1. Brad, do you have time for golf picks this week or have you just avoided the built more championships? I'm probably going to play both. You know, I got to get everything done today and tomorrow for a head out. But we'll see what we can do. Yeah, when I looked at the Jackson Super number, it's 45 to 1. You can pretty much get that universally. Maybe a 40 to 1, which is totally fine. But just the long and short of Jackson Super's, I think he's a great ball striker. I think that's what you need here. He can be cold with the putter, but also can be hot with the putter lately. Been a little cold. His accuracy off the tee is something that I'm not super excited about. But he's pretty accurate off the tee. It's the

21:57approach play and just the ball striking in general. He's also pretty lengthy off the tee, which may help him, particularly on the par 5s over at this course that nobody's ever played with or played at on the PGA tour. Super's going to be my first click. I'll probably click one or two more guys. I might go to the top of the board and take Jackson Coven because he's such a great player, great ball striker, but also can fill it up with the putter problem there. As he's 14 to 1. There's other names I'm considering as well. I'll bring those to the sports line discord. May bring them to the show tomorrow. And I may have some matchups and first round leaders to bring to the show tomorrow as well. Just wanted to put it out there. Jackson Super is my first pick. All right. Ben, if you don't mind, let's go ahead and reveal my QB rankings. Now these rankings are rankings going into 2026. In other words, who had one I have on my team going into 2026 to start a game or all the games? And here's the list. And sniper, I'm going to go to you. Of course, if you're listening, you don't get the vantage point that we have right now, but it's Josh Allen, the Marjacks. I'm not going to go through the whole list. Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Matt Stafford. Those are the top five. I think people will have a question about Jared golf at six. And I get that. It's a little

23:00high for me too. Then we go to Dak, Brock, Purdy, Drake, May. Don't worry. I'll get to the hot names in a second. Justin Herbert. That's the top 10. Then we go Baker Mayfield, Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams. I know people are going to have a problem with that just so everybody knows. Trevor Lawrence is behind Boe next. Jalen Hertz, Sam Darling, Jordan Love, and he's 18 overall. Sniper, you're a media reaction. I mean, I'm obviously a major, major bears homer, as you know. And they just scored 59 points. And you said going into this year, so I don't know, did you not take into account this week? I did take into account this week. But it's just one week. I'm sliding, I'm sliding Caleb over. Jaden Mayfield, Herbert May. That might be it, but I might also get them all the way up to five, honestly. And I mean, Staffer did not look that great against 49ers. No, that's true. I mean, Staffer's one week's sample size. But but I hear you. Listen, nobody's going to have Caleb as low as I have him. I mean, so I'm granted. A, Max, you're laughing

24:02at something. Go ahead. You get to chime in here. Because I was thinking this same thing. Two appendix is the only one on there with two QBs, right? But like, reminding them you might actually get one decent QB. So I don't know. Yeah, there you go. Chris been said in the chat. That's pretty funny, actually, because I was thinking the same thing. The only one with two quarterbacks. Also, congrats to Jackson Dart for breaking the top 20. I would have had him higher, but we won't complain. Numbers edge, which of course is Mike McClore says, did Jared go up, filled this list? Listen, he's entrusted quarterback. He's a reliable quarterback. And it's just it's just one of those things where I can lean on him not making mistakes and being consistent. So I didn't really want to want to put him sick, but I just couldn't, I couldn't put Drake Mayer Justin Herbert over him. The way they, the, how erratic they've been Brad Thomas. You just said you could trust Jared Goff not to make mistakes. Just remember that this season when you're betting on him. He is a interesting quarterback when push comes to shove. I guess on the road. That's true. A max go ahead. I do have to take you with Dak Prescott here at seven. I mean, come on.

25:07You're talking about trusting guys to not make mistakes in that range. That is like totally fair. Yeah, we don't want to overreact to a small sample, but that attempted throw away that was a pick. I think I'd devote them like five spots for that. Problem with Dak in week one and CD Lamb and George Pickens is the Cowboys defense couldn't get off the field. I mean, it's just one of those things they had two or three less possessions than they should have a couple of drops involved there too, but that was just an ugly game by the Cowboys defense buckets. You have something. I've just got some general NFL QB questions. That's okay with you as I try to learn this. QBR I'm guessing stands for QB rating, right? Sure. What's considered a good QBR in a game or in a season? What should you be shooting for if you're top 10 QB? Yeah, I don't look at QBR. Okay. I can't answer that question. It's not that mainstream. Okay. 90. 90. It's pretty good, right? If you go. Okay, so QBR is a weird thing because you can go out there and dominate a team and have a QBR of 89, right? You throw one interception that messes it up, but you could still have three touchdowns and 298 yards. QBR is a really

26:13weird thing. I've actually bet under QBRs a lot because books think players are going to have higher QBRs than they are. A lot of people will be like 92 and a half, 95 and a half. When they go out there have a really good game and be 90. Yeah. Is four touchdowns in a game considered good by a QB? Yes. Very. It's weird that Trevor Lawrence is 18 and he just had four touchdowns and an 80% completion rate. See, that's all I wanted to throw in there. Well, he's been in the league like five years. So we're not going to use week one against the Browns as the sun gets on. The Browns are pretty good, right? Say it again. No, never mind to go next, ignore me. Yeah, Trevor McClure just pointed out in the chat. Caleb Williams and Trevor Lawrence are one and two and QBR. So QBR is pulling to this point. I mean, again, a week one before using that as a sample size, these rankings. No, no, I wasn't saying that. I was saying it was funny. Yeah, no, I mean, listen, they, they, if you had them in fantasy, which I drafted both of them, by the way, in my big league, you won your matchup most likely. You had a really good shot at winning your matchup like I

27:13did. So listen, again, I'm rooting specifically for Caleb Williams more than most people think, all right, that's enough for the list. I'm going to put that over on social media. We can laugh about it and point and laugh at it later. But let's get to more picks, Brad Thomas. You've got a pick in college football for Thursday night, which I love. And I think you've got a soccer pick for today. Yeah, I wanted to give this a call. But when I, I, you know, I've been trying to provide some college football potential CLV lines, right? We crushed it with Miami last week, getting almost what, 13 points, 11 points of CLV. I think this one's going to go down to 19 and a half. This is Syracuse at Pitt. And I'm fading Syracuse. I'm taking their team total under 20 and a half. And before I get too deep in this, yes, I'm going to acknowledge that Syracuse had a ton of total offense against Cal. It was turnovers and all that that really kind of messed up them scoring more points than they did. But I'm not a believer that Steven jelly is really, is really healthy, right? Like, uh, Fred Brown said that he's healthy. And jelly said he says healthy as mobile as he

28:17can be. And I'm calling BS on that. And not being healthy and not being mobile is going to be really tough. Again, this, this pit team, right? We had questions about the back end of this defense. But we had no questions about that defensive line, which returned 77% of snaps from last season to show how nasty that defensive line was. I thought Duke Watson for UCF was going to be a really good running back this year. They held UCF to just 20 rushing yards. They had a negative 0.35 EPA per play last year. They played against Syracuse. They held Syracuse to 13 points and just 212 total yards. And yeah, I am going to acknowledge that 75% and jelly is better than Ricky Collins. But it's just to me. I have a really big problem trusting Syracuse not to have pressure in the face of Angelie. If we look at havoc rate for the front seven of pit 11.5% overall, defensively, 18% of the plays there's havoc for this pit defense. You have a quarterback who's turn over prone and hobbled. How are they going to find the in zone on a consistent basis? So for me,

29:17under 20 and a half, I think 19 and a half is fine too. But I do find that line of 20 points is really obtainable. Even for bad teams, it just takes one or two things to go their way. So I wouldn't really play 19.5. I think it's going to get down to 19.5. So make sure you lock those 20 and a halfs in the second play. I was just kind of combing the market this morning. And I saw a little bit of disrespect to Vennice's junior. So we're looking at the LJ versus Real Madrid match. And I'm just, you know, looking at my little bet aggregator and I see Carlos S.B. is minus 115 to score a goal against LJ. And I was like, wait, he's the second highest odds. So behind killing him, Bope, but the guys only played 24 minutes. And this is no disrespect to him at all. I think it's a disrespect to Vennice's junior to score. Vennice's junior plus 125 to score. But you know, betting is all about making money. And we have to acknowledge the fact that while Vennice has a 0.42 XG this season, he only has one goal. But he has a ton of goal contributions. They're playing it to LJ side that has conceded over 11 goals so far this season. Five to Barcelona more importantly. And I think Real Madrid are going to find

30:21the back of the score sheet. So for me, I'm taking Vennice's junior to score or assist. But I'm going to put in a parlay because I think at minus 200 or whatever the price of standalone is not good enough. But there's a guy who has had at least three plus shots on target in every single match, including champions league this season. And that's killing him. Bope, I'm taking him to get at least two plus on shots on target. Yes, while this match could get away from LJ really fast. And Real Madrid don't shoot or don't have as much shot volume late in that match. I do think in Bope, he's been extra aggressive six goals on the season so far. Yes, I put his two plus goals in the discord channel totally different bet. I think he gets at least two shots on target. It pays around minus 109 if you parlay the two together. We've got to follow up question, Brad, in college football from Ben Wittenstein. He says, do you like running it back with Miami, the U at minus 20 and a half at Wake Forest? Oh, man, oh, man. Okay, I bet 19 and a half for that line. I think I wrote it up on sports and I can't remember if I wrote that up or Miami

31:22team totals a lot better. I do think Wake Forest will have a lot more offensive success than Stanford and Fam U, which could make that 20 and a half a little murky. But you have to bet the U because then you have an offensive with a quarterback who's throwing 91% completion percentage so far this season. The highest PFF grade zero turnover really passes. And guess what? They struggle to run the ball in week one. They dominated on the ground in week two. And I think that can carry over which makes life much more difficult for any defense when you have both tandoms of a running attack and passing attack. And we know the defense is going to be legit. Good question from them. Let's get to more questions. Pirates under two and a half runs from Glenn Calibis. Obviously we're sniper. We're trying to, you know, take advantage of the Miz start. But we talked about how tenuous that might be in terms of how long he might go. Do you like the pirates under two and a half runs? Man, that's a low, low total. I could see it. I just, I probably wouldn't go that low. The pirates actually have a pretty good offense. It's underrated offense. Miz is probably only going to go five innings. The brews do have a good bullpen though.

32:25I can see either side of that. It's just man, that's low. That's any thoughts, any max? Yeah, so low total definitely based upon Miz being out there. We saw two and a half last time with the cubs. I actually played the over on the cubs last time for two and a half. And it did hit. I just think that this lineup is significantly worse over the last month, the bottom four offense against righties. So I kind of understand wanting to take the under. But with that said, you need a bloop and a blast and you're sitting on the line with two runs and a solo homer late offer reliever could beat you. So I don't bet under, you know, two and a half ever really. Buckets box car boys says burr holster to score or assist for middle of the borough today. Do you like it? I love, I love supporting our fellow Americans and rooting for the best of the future of the United States, it's been an actual team. But if you're betting for a goal score on a team that has William Lanx here on it, I don't know why you don't just bet him every time he's currently plus 105 to score. He has five goals and six games. He's kind of their focal point right now. He

33:27is the one that everyone dishes it off to. Brawlsters out of bad bet. Just with the odds I'm saying, I would rather take the the chalkier, the obvious choice because you're not getting a much better line on brawl. Oh, to score or assist readings really hard. See, yeah, I like that. I think that's a good bet. Good job, box car boys. Brad, we've got a big game in college football this weekend. It's Ole Miss, it's LSU, it's the Lane Kiffin reunion. Your thoughts on Ole Miss plus three. You know, so far the look ahead lines or the game of the year lines early in the season have been so sharp in this line was what minus two on the other side now move all the way to plus three. So I think you're getting a that trend continues into week three. You're getting a ton of value. My problem is this Ole Miss defense and secondary has been terrible. Winnie Watkins and Trayda as Green are going to have field day. So for me personally, instead of getting involved on a side, I would rather take Trayda as Green who has like 14 targets so far this season and Winnie Watkins who's like or it's 19 and 14 between the two. Take their overs because I don't think Ole Miss is

34:28going to cover them defensively or you just take the over 59 and a half points. It's the second highest total on the board this season of this week. So just put a little pause on that if you don't like high totals. Krispy Skah, Kris Kishin the chat says if someone tries to talk and they're muted, they do 10 pushups. What are your thoughts there? Like should they like leave the show immediately a new 10 pushups or is it like you just cap them and you do them at the end of the show? I don't think we need to watch it right? Yeah, it's total camera or you can tilt the camera. It's like complicated. I think that's a good point. I also have to say Buckets not knowing how to read. That was karma for saying I hate Martin Green. You replay so, man. Also Buckets people are telling on you they're saying you're tweeting during the show. They're lying. The chats full of liars. What do you expect? Before we get to the recap screen Ben, I could have sworn you dropped in a pick in the show. Not an official play but I thought and you don't have to jump on if you don't want to. I could have sworn you had a Sunday night football pick and I don't know if you want to

35:29highlight it at least for the bottom third or you want to come on and talk about it. Yeah, here we go. Ben, what was it? Yeah, I kind of looking at the at the Colts plus six and a half. It was plus seven this morning. I really wish I grabbed that. But I think this is one of those classic points where you had the chiefs play pretty decently well and they had a big win on prime time TV and when my homes and when all that happens, people love to jump on the chiefs and you had the Colts this weekend play not good and they looked really bad against a really good Ravens offense. So, I think you kind of see a little bit of a reversal, a little bit of a comeback to the mean a bit with the Colts getting seven prime time at the chiefs. I don't hate that. I don't love six and a half as much but I got going to be back in the Colts this weekend Sunday night football on the road. Gipper's pick says under 48 and a half in that game which certainly makes sense. That's a very high total. I think we might have talked about that on the Monday show on CBS Sports Network which I think is now where at least we'll be soon on the Sports Line YouTube channel. Make sure if you're watching you are subscribed to this YouTube channel and you might want to go over and subscribe

36:31to sportsline sportsline.com slash join. All right. Hand up if I missed anything otherwise we're getting to the recap screen sniper then buckets. Yeah. I was going to do some home runs ahead of. Oh yeah. Home runs Kyle Freeland pitching for the Rockies and Coors field. That's always a good formula. If you want to grab a variety for native Todd T's Jr. would be a good one. He Homer last night. Zander Bogart's actually has ridiculous numbers in his career against Freeland so if you wanted to look at that also Kyle Tucker in Great American ballpark against Red Ladder kind of lines up with A-Mags play there. Tucker has three home runs in his last five games. He might be starting to heat up a little bit as if the Dodgers needed more help buckets. I'm sure you have something equally compelling as if the Dodgers needed more help. Well said. Right. There's three different people asking Brad in the chat if they think Real Madrid is going to rotate. I'm not Brad. I don't think they will. I think they smack him early and then rest people but Brad what are your thoughts? Yeah there's no reason for Madrid to rotate right like this is a good opportunity for you to run up the goal tally which could be effective later in the season and they don't play champions league for like a little

37:35bit international break I believe is this weekend so kind of helps out. Hey Max go ahead. Just one last thing on the home runs there. I actually missed that Alonzo had hit his 299th in Toronto there so you are at 299 as big cheesy as pointed out. I love the home run on Alonzo here tonight. Go for 300. All right let's get to the recap screen. John battle back from a 3 and 4 but I believe by the way the recap screen we showed yesterday it was 10 and 5 it was actually 11 and 4 so coming into Monday 11 and 4 we go 3 and 4 yesterday. Let's see if we can get a winning recap today. I've got to build more first click Jackson super 45 to one probably have some golf picks on this show later on in the week as well especially some matchups. We go to A-Max Dodgers team total over 4 and a half runs minus 141 and Peter Alonzo over 1 and a half hits runs RBIs minus 110 we just talked about him going the yard as well buckets look at that picture from bucket side. Peter bro versus even down the team's the score plus over 2 and a half goals minus 115

38:37and fewer and 10 over spes up both teams to score minus 110 we go to the sniper raise minus 1 and a half at even money and the fillies minus 1 and a half at minus 120 and then we go to Brad Thomas LJ versus Real Madrid SGP and Bapet 2 plus shots on target in Vini Jr. 2 score or assist at minus 109 and then in college football on Thursday Pitver Syracuse Syracuse team total under 20 and a half at minus 114 let's go to the sports line picks EC like the Cleveland Guardians Moneyline minus 125 a lot of baseball picks on the show today a big slate comes first five money line minus 130 that one courtesy of Jeff Hockman getting that sports line discord discord dot gg slash sports line because I'm sure there'll be more MLB convo there but ladies and gentlemen thanks for joining the show today what a great spirited show we're going to do it tomorrow again at 10 o'clock and that'll be Wednesday right so that taking the points show will be tomorrow at 3 o'clock as well so let's start getting used to the NFL programming on this channel of course the prop show every Friday at 3 o'clock ladies and gentlemen that was a great show Brad and buckets A Mag sniper and of course
