Welcome to Bet the Bus. I am your host. Payoff Willie. Happy Halloween. I hope you guys had a wonderful Halloween trick or treating going to Halloween parties.
While you were out in the streets looking for handouts, we were in the lab.
The boys were in the lab reviving Benkenstein with the boys in the back.
You got Gary Mischiff.
He's ready to go vandalize your house with some cash, cash all over the lawn. You got Jackie Slips, the slip Reaper. He is the one who knocks JP Hovey Joey Pumpkin. He's gonna carve out a parlay at the end of this episode, at the end of this show that will make you don't want to cuss your pants. Then you got Mitchie. Bill Boy was trying to find a nice analogy for him. I don't know if his said was inspired by James and the Giant Peach, and if so, if he's James or if it's the Giant Peach.
In due time, But if you're new here, we bet on college football. We find five or six headline games going into the weekend, and we double your money. Have you heard of the rule of seventy two. Well, if you have this show is not for you because it does not take years to double your money. It takes one Saturday afternoon and this show in twenty twenty three. The record of twenty twenty three is thirty three, seventeen and two. Those two pushes at the end, those are
like half wins. So if you want to add it to the record, we're thirty four and seventeen the same in the last six weeks, the last six weeks of this show, twenty three, nine and two. The two on the push. You add them together, that's a one twenty four and nine. Boys, we get the brain operating, we get the blood flowing, we turn the vibes up, we cure ed, and we put money in your pocket. Jack Slip Reaper recap us over the last week with Louis Locks.
Yeah, it's good to have you back. Uh, Louis, did you know? Five hundred very decent. Obviously it was a little bit of a decline from his undefeated streak of five and zero, but it was three and three from last week. I believe is Lock the week UNLV hit it only because that poor receiver on their team who was on Fresno States dropped a wide open, which would have sent them to the to the shadow room.
Yeah.
So anyways, three and three last week, we're here to take it back, though, we need to get back to five and zero, if not four and one. So with that being said, you got any other pregame speeches, you know, words of encouragement before we knock this thing out of the park.
I'm glad you asked, because I was thinking before this show, for this show, I was gonna say that I'm giving you guys five picks, five picks for the rest of your lives. Be all right, let's go over these five picks in the next fifteen minutes. For the next fifteen minutes. Let's leave it all right here on the bus. Let's leave it all right here, right there, in your car, at your office, at your desk, wherever you're getting this
episode in this podcast. Peace leave a comment. But today, right here, right now, we have an opportunity to operate like gods for the rest of this show. Now, if we go into this thing half passed scared, all were left with is an excuse.
When the dust settles, we're always gonna wonder what could have been.
But if we dial in this operation and you guys give me every part of you mind, body, soul, bank account.
That's eroic.
Let's be heroes today.
Day buys. Good call, a great call. Great call. For some reason, I thought you were gonna just start yelling.
They also just remember that the work you put in when no one's watching will matter far more than the work you do. And the cameras are.
Kick us off, Baby, kick us off, Jackie. Where we had to first game one, Game one.
Also, I don't know if you realized this. Every single game, every single team but one on the slate. This week for US is a ranked matchup. So there's a lot of high powered offenses, a lot of high power ball going. So let's get it started. First game, number twenty five, Kansas State at number seven Texas. Spread is six and a half. Texas missing a couple crucial pieces. Will this affect them going into this game?
You bring up a good point.
Yes, this show is not scared to go after the whales out there in the ocean.
Right now.
It's November football and teams are deciding who they want to be going into the postseason. There's a lot on the line. Kansas State, Texas whoever loses this game is essentially out of the big out of Big twelve contention. This is a tough game. Texas won last year by seven points. I think when you look at this, when you look at what big brain Mitchell gave us, Texas has won the last six matchups. Texas is also without Quinn Viewers and freshman Malik Murphy will be getting the
start against Kansas State. When you look at Kansas State, like they were our dark horse last year, they made us a lot of money last year. In their last three games, they are averaging two hundred and sixty five yards on the ground per game, yards per catch that they're giving up as a passing defense, because to me, this game is going to be won in the trenches
and it's can who can execute better downfield. In the last three games, Kansas State defense is fourth in passing defense when it comes to yards per completion at only allowing eight and a half yards per completion. That could affect Malik the freshman getting his second career start in a big game like this. He did perform well last week when they won like thirty five to six, I believe or something like that. Kansas State beat the living
hell out of Houston. Like forty something to nothing, where's the talent at in this game? I think the talent is on Texas's side. They have the Hogs, they have the guys. It's who can be more physical in the trenches. I think Texas does have that. Again, they have the cats, they have the genetics if you will, at the line of screen, but the intangibles, I feel like lean into
Kansas State this game. This spread is sitting at four and a half right now, but I think with the inexperience at quarterback in November, if this was earlier in the year, I think I'm taking Texas in this situation. But Kansas State having a couple hiccups like losing a Oklahoma State who they absolutely murdered last year forty something to nothing, having a little hiccup here and there across
the throughout the season. I think going into November, this was a team who made a run and let's not forget they won the Big Twelve championship last year.
This is and coach by coach.
Kleimban, who is a savant in the head coaching community North Dakota State like a billion He's like the Nick saban d one double A. Now he comes over to Kansas State. He's really turned that culture around. He's got those cats to run the football, to play defense. I'm taking I know they're at Texas, but I am taking k State plus four and a half at Austin, at Texas at whatever.
That freaking that bull what was this bull? Bevo? It's We're going Texas State plus four and a half, Texas State, Kansas State, k K State.
Yeah, if I could split this game, We're going, uh Texas State.
All right? Moving on? You mentioned Kansas State. It was our dark horse in twenty twenty two. Notre Dame could be our twenty twenty three dark horse. They've it's been here and it's been there. But it's number twelve. Notre Dame at Clemson JP hoves mortal enemy spread its three and a half. How do we feel?
Notre Dame has scored a combined one hundred points in their last two games. They have an offense who's been slow at times this year, but they have an offense who can score their six and three against the spread this season, Clemson is two and six. Look, this line kind of scares me a little bit because it's at Clemson. But look, Dabbo is out there challenging fans right now. That's not a Dabo. That's not a Dabo move. He's out there challenging fans. He's reading he's maybe he's not
reading the comments, which I think he might be. He's hearing it. He's hearing the stress. He's hearing the pressure. You can now see it come out of his mouth. This is the most the best coach that Clemson has ever had. Right if you take me back as a player who played for coach Bo Polini, who had a positive career at nebrasas winning nine ten games a year, which is dabble right, He's winning more. He's winning like
ten eleven games a year. But when you get that coach that's feeling the pressure from the fans when the expectation is so high. This team's sitting at four and four right now, But when the coach is now challenging the fan base. I saw with my guy, coach Bo Polini, and I wish he would have reeled it in. But when you're out there challenging your fan base, it's not a good look. Things are not good at home. You start arguing, you start fighting, over the remote, you start
doing different, you start threatening the runaway. These kids are gonna start looking at the transfer portal to move. I'm telling you things are bad right now in Clemson. And if you need a little bit more juice on why we're writing Notre Dame minus three. If you look at Clemson's wins and losses this year, who they beat Charleston,
Southern Florida, Atlantic, Syracuse and Wake Forest. If you look at who they've lost to Duke twenty eight to seven, Florida State, Miami, and just recently NC State asked yourself that four and four category, which one does Notre Dame fit in?
Notre Dame minus three? This, honestly is the lock.
I think this week we have a more championship style game with LSU Bama that we're going to talk about at the end of the show that I think a lot of good data and a lot of good conversation leads to. But this game right here, I mean, it's as clear as day. This is Notre Dame going into Clemson and potentially not ending Dabo's career because he signed like a ten million for a billion dollar deal. But that pressure is just gonna heat up on Dabbo Notre Dame minus three damn ya.
Ten million for a billion is an insane deal.
I'll know what I'm talking about.
Moving on, we have an SEC showdown with number fourteen Missouri at number one Georgia. This game's got a lot on it, especially for anyone who has the SEC East and their favorites. So let's let's pray that you make the right decision on this game.
I tell you what, man, I feel closer to this situation that I like to be. I was at a wedding last year, and during that wedding, everybody was streaming the game. Remember we hate fall weddings. We hate weddings during football season. For that reason alone, all my Missouri boys were streaming the game because they were about to upset Georgia. I think Georgia got away, they snuck in the fourth quarter and got away with a win because Missoo was up at halftime.
But Missoo is a better football.
Team and more talented this year than they were last year, and last year was against a Georgia juggernaut, a generational team that they almost snuck and beat. Georgia ended up winning the game twenty six to twenty two. But a couple interesting stats, a couple of interesting data points from a big braind Mitchie five and one again spread in their last six, while Georgia is two and four in
their last six. Look, we went and watched Georgia play the game Cocks earlier this year, and they weren't that impressive.
Maszoo can score a lot of points. Georgia's without Bowers, who.
Is an all time player, like he's you know, if he's not injured right now, he is at the top of the list for tight end of the year that award, whatever it's called. Here's an interesting stat that the boy found that the boy came across this morning sitting at affee shop. Coach Drink wits drink will call him. I think that's what they call him. Four and oh after bye weeks. He's four and oh after bye weeks. And
you look at that receiver LB. He's not draft eligible yet, but this is a cat with rare speed and talent, and I think he's going to need to have a big game lead. He leads the country in receiving yards, and he leads the country and catches and I think if you look at their quarterback Cook fifteen touchdowns of three interceptions. He takes care of the ball. However, he's been sacked thirteen times. I think that's where Georgia can win this game is in the trenches and affecting him
in the pocket. But that opens up the playbook to quick throws and when you got five to eleven lb.
The third out there.
Coming from Missouri, maybe the second greatest generational talent to come from Missouri. Who's a third generation I like Miszoo short throws over the middle. He's got that rare speed to explode. He's got that home run ability. Miszoo plus sixteen, I think it's too many points. Georgia, yes, will probably win this game, but I think sixteen is too much
of a landslide. You can get caught up in the window dressing where Georgia just ran up the score on the Boys last week and everybody's like, oh, George's back, Like.
This is the team that's heading into November. Let's not get a twisted.
They beat Vandy by seventeen, and they got away with the win against the game Cocks, and we saw that team operate. I'm telling you a team who can throw the ball in Mazoo can I liked him plus sixteen Missou plus sixteen.
I love it.
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting too because Missoo's got my mighty Vauls next week, and between those three teams, that's gonna be the SEC East right there.
Spoiler alert, take the over Missoo Tennessee. Spoiler alert the over Missoo Tennessee.
Love it all right?
Another ranked matchup.
We got number five Washington versus number twenty four USC.
Spread is four and a half.
Is USC the biggest frauds of college football this year?
Yes, they are the biggest frauds in college football this year. They had everybody full. Look Washington beat Oregon. Let's look at USC's last five games. Just last five games, Colorado forty eight to forty one. They got away with the w Arizona forty three to forty one, got away with the w Okay defense could get gone. Offense is gonna score a lot of points. Then they go and play Notre Dame the next week and get their ass throttled forty eight to twenty.
Then you come and play.
Utah, you lose thirty four to thirty two, and then last week you sneak and come back and win against Cal and win fifty to forty nine. And that's their last five games. Washington has beat Oregon, They've beat up the big dogs. And if this game is gonna go down to the wire, and let's say it's a shoot, let's say it's a high scoring game. The over under, I believe is like seventy something points. Any points, I don't know, but let's say it comes out.
Of the wire. Are you going with Pinnix? Are you going with Caleb Williams?
I know watching Caleb Williams in primetime against Notre Dame, He's coughing the ball up, he has turnovers. Pennis is playing like the Heisman front runner and he's only been sacked one time. This team not only protects him, but they protect him to allow him to be that Heisman front runner that he is. We're taking Washington in this game to cover I think, to handle USC but if it is close, I'm taking Penis over Williams in the fourth quarter.
How do we feel about that? Boys? Oh? Do we feel like we're seeing the field clearly today? Yeah? One sack, bro one sack.
I love that pick. All right, Moving on to our lock the week, and also just a game effect every year that is highly anticipated, a very fun one to watch. But number thirteen LSU at number eight Alabama, a tee town showdown of the SEC West.
Would love to.
Hear your thoughts in this game.
This is the lock. Honestly, I snuck you guys. The lock is Nebraska at Michigan State. Take the points. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on that. We're the number one team in turnovers in the country and we're still five and three right now, controlling the West. Holding the gun in our hand. We take over the football, we don't put the ball on the ground. We're mopping these teams and we're gonna go nine and three the rest of the year. The lock of the week is
Nebraska with the points. However, the headline game of the week LSU at Alabama. Look, I'm gonna read some I'm gonna read some date off for you guys.
I got document.
I'm telling you, I got I'm cooking over here, boys with Mitchie and myself. No QB has ever beaten sab It in back to back years while he's been at BAMA. I know that makes you feel good. Gee, that's a G stat. I love that stat. Ge that's a G stat and no business. LSU ranks first and scoring first downs, third down conversions in third down, are third in passing yards per game.
The road team. Listen to this.
The road team has covered the spread in six of the last seven games in this matchup. Some good points for Obama, some bad points for Bama. LSU is it the over in twelve straight games, but the last six of eight in November between these two teams. The under his hit. I'll be honest. With a game like this, you gotta throw these stats out the window.
Boys.
It comes down to who is gonna win in the second half of this game, because LSU is gonna score. I think Bama's got a great defense. But I think the talent I think Daniels, I think he's are. I think he's a good quarterback. He's great down there for LSU. He makes place, he makes it happen. Because LSU's defense has been you know, they've been non existent. They've been as as existent as year ten was with the Atlanta Falcons. They haven't shown up. They haven't been there. They didn't
get the go ahead. And I think if you go into a shootout. The question you have to ask is does Alabama on offense have the firepower and talent and operation of Milrow to keep up with Daniels in that LSU offense. In my opinion, no, but it scares the shit out of me because it's at Bama.
And so for those reasons, I'm.
Taking the over fifty nine and a half LSU at Bama.
I think LSU scores.
I do think Bama keeps up for a little bit, and it'll come down to that second half, those halftime adjustments on if Bama can keep up, because I think that is the question going to this game. Boys, how are we feeling? Hey, Joey Pumpkin, carve out a parlay for us talk about these games. I want to know how you guys are feeling about this weekend because I'm telling you I have this caffeine in my system right now.
I had a great Halloween.
I feel like I'm seeing this thing beautifully and we're about to have a hell of a weekend. Rule seventy two throw out the window Saturday afternoon. We're doubling your money.
I love everything you're saying this week, and that is why the parlay will consist of all games from your board except for one my go to team, but I'll save them for last. First, I'm riding with you on Notre Dame all the way over Clemson.
I know you're a hype to see Dabo just losing it in the presser.
Yeah, he said, Uh, Clemson fans are all about appreciation, not expectation, or that's how they used to be.
I was like, and then he goes, you're asking for the Bible to apply for this job, Like, oh, come on, man.
And it was like a thirteen year old on the radio call. He's on the Dune the radio show. So we got Notre Dame and Sam Hartman. He beat him while he was at NC State. He's gonna beat him while he's a Notre Dame. Next, I'm rocking with Washington. I have no idea why it's that close against USC. Pennix is head and shoulders. He has been favorite. I don't know why they put McCarthy up there. Pennix has like a thousand more yards passing all of it.
Michigan's playing really good ball right now. He's the front runner, he's the quarterback. He is playing well, but he's not on Penix's level, I agree.
With Yeah, Penis Washington's playing just as well. Yeah, and they've had bigger wins and no signs last one, no signs. I'm rocking with the Jayhawks again. Everybody sleeps on cans every week. They're playing Iowa State this week. They're the underdogs for some reason. They just beat Oklahoma last week. So I'm rocking with them. Plus two and a half these three games is plus six oh two in a parlay three lake parlay. Yes, what's the odds? I'm sleeping on Kansas?
What was it again? Plus six oh two? Plus six oh two, Go ahead and carve that in your pumpkin. Boys, I love that. I'm gonna rock with that for real. We're gonna post this. We're gonna post us on the internet. We gotta we gotta get the engagement up. We gotta leave the comments.
Boys.
Thank you so much for tuning in to bet the bus. We are the boys and we will get you paid. Rule of seventy two.
Throw it out.
We double our money this Saturday afternoon. Love you, big hugs, tiny kisses.
They let the demons out
