Welcome to another episode of Bet the Bus. I am your host, Payoff Willye. I'm with the boys in the back as always. Like you know, there's been nicknames all year long. You got JP Parlay Hovey, you got Jackie Slipps, you got the Gobbel, you got the Midnight Man himself, the Ferry, Gary Ferry, and then you also Mitch Carsley.
Look, this show bets on college football.
The records we're at right now, I think we were what forty five, twenty six and two last week?
We go into this weekend. Jack's gonna recap in a minute.
Wasn't the best weekend, wasn't a winning, winning weekend, But who gives a shit? It does not matter. What matters is it's championship week. Do not apologize for where we are. Do not apologize for where this team is at. We've earned the right to be in this situation. Don't apologize for it. We're talking five games, the Big Five, Pack twelve Championship, Big ten Championship, Big twelfth Championship, SEC Championship, and ACC Championship. That's they barely kind of make the cut.
That's you know, Louisville, Florida say we are gonna cover it. However, these picks this show is gonna get your meat hotter than a brand new dad buying a pit boss girl. No free shot us to pit Boss girl. Jack, go ahead recap us last week. I know everybody kind of had their own little picks. Uh, so you can also kind of recap. You know that some of the people should be following a couple of this evants in the back.
Yeah, a rivalry week, it gets us all the highest on the board. Was it even five hundred? So this week we're looking to improve, but we will just go ahead and rattle off these records. Will went two and four, Garrett went two and four, Mitch went two and four, JP and myself both went three and three. We were looking for a little bit more of a favorable outcome. We want to be in that green and we did
not supply last week. But that is why Foyd Mayweather Junior always says a true champion can adapt to anything, and that's what we're here to do this week. We're here to adapt and win. Go on the board, do you want to give us a little people?
Are people still tuned in after the Floyd Mayweather Junior quote?
We got some movement.
This week, I came up with the fun little idea for every let me try and think about this. For every comment that is in the comment section, I'm going to add a dollar per comment. All you gotta do is put your Twitter handle and also tag a friend.
So hang on.
If the bet hits, there will be a random commenter that will get the winnings of this bet that we put toward.
Like for okay, okay, let me they bete this thing out. All right, here we go.
Everybody, have you if you're still tuned, If you're still tuned in number one, don't forget the subscribe. However, one comment equals one dollar, and every comment that we get it builds the pot. I'm going to put my own money into this pot for every comment that happens on this episode, and once all the comments are done by whatever time we say, uh it's probably gonna be Saturday, right before the first kickoff, we're gonna see how many
comments there are. If it's nine hundred and twenty seven comments, I'm putting nine hundred and twenty seven dollars to our collective lock of the week or a little parlay that JP might have cooked up for us. But either way, all of those winnings are going to go to you be split between you and the friend that you tagged. All you have to do is comment, put your Twitter handle and put one you know, tag a buddy, tag a friend, because we got to tell friends, we got
to spread the good news. Also we're gonna do on this episode is I'm gonna rattle off the data. And since the boys in the back did a better job than the boys up front last week, JP, I'm talking about JP Hovey, I'm talking about Jackie Slips. Since some guys have an opportunity to do better, everybody will have a pick on the game. You're either gonna you're gonna pick the spread or you're gonna pick one on the points. There's gonna be a four four A. There's multiple choice,
similar to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And also we were looking at we were trying to get Taylor. We're trying to get Louis Locks on the bus for bet the bus for this episode.
He didn't want to come on.
He does have a message for us, though, what's the message? This is verbatim from Loui Locks play.
Fucker.
I'm not doing that because I don't know where to find it, but if you can't, impose play Hail to the victors over this, which is the Michigan fight song. Fuck everyone on the bus except JP are all losers and now also at JP to the fuck you law list. You need better spelling, Taylor, fuck you list because of what he said about the college football playoff Michigan Michigan against the world, God bless and go Blue.
So so Taylor, he didn't want to come on because everybody voted against Michigan last week.
I bet the bus, which.
Is I switched to my pick right before I put five hundred bucks on Michigan's Fortunately, I won that money. I was hoping to not really win that money because I was trying to fade myself and play some different gambling antics. But Louis Loxy doesn't want to join us
because everybody went against his team. Look, in my opinion, you're not a good friend if you don't like chirp your boy root against this team at times and for Michigan, like any Michigan fans and people that are out there, oh the boys don't support, Like, put a fucking binky in your mouth and go cry to your Mommy, no one gives a shit like we want. We want teams to we want teams to lose. We get to decide, we get to have the fun and Jack, go ahead and kick off this first game Championship week.
Let's dial it in, all right.
Starting in the Atlantic Coastal Conference, we have Florida State versus Louisville. The line is minus two and a half over under forty eight and a half. Still know, Jordan Travis for Florida State? Where are you starting?
All right?
So I'm gonna rattle off the data here and then we're gonna go one by one. Somebody pick one. Okay, Florida State without driving Jordan Travis. That's a great stat right there, Mitch. Their backup Tate Roadenmaker played well against Florida Wade last week. That's some great data. The last six games in this matchup, it's three and three. Okay, fifty percent. I don't know if that data should have made this. Louisville is nine to one when rushing for
more than one hundred yards. Florida State opened up as a five and a half point favorite, and it has gone down to two and a half because people are believing in Louisville with that being said to spread. Sitting right now is Florida State minus two and a half. The over under on total points is forty eight and a half. JP Hovey lights get dark. He wants to be a millionaire. What is your choice?
My choice is easy. You keep it in the family. The Brom family is leading Louisville. Brian Brom, Jeff Brom. They both played at Louisville. One's the head coach, one's DC. It means more to them, and that is why Louisville is covering in this game.
Got Louisville plus two and a half.
I would have to disagree. It means more to Florida State, their leader, their presidence, their QB. Jordan Travis hurt, devastating injury. I think that they're gonna win this for him. So I'll be going for State minus two and a half.
Gary Pigs, I, this is tough, but I think I have to go Louisville plus two and a half as well.
Mitch, Louisville plus two and a half.
I'm going Lousville plus two and a half as well. I like Louisville in this game, and in a part of it, like I want chaos in this college football playoff. I want Order State to lose. Like, yeah, I think they have really good reason for wanting to win. For Jordan Travis, like they got a lot to uh you know, they're inspired by a lot to win this game, which I get, I understand. I love that about him, But I personally I want chaos in the college wable Playoff.
I want one lost teams across the board, and I want to see who gets in the final four. So I'm picking Louisville plus two and a half. Remember leave comments, tag a friend, use your Twitter name. For every comment that gets put in gets matched by a dollar, and that adds up kind of like the kind of like the yodeler on price is right. The more the more numbers, the more he climbs the mountain, the higher it is, the bigger the reward. Next game, Jack West Coast Pac twelve.
We got Oregon versus Washington. The line is nine and a half over under.
It's sixty six and a half a lot of points, but it is the Pac twelve known for putting up numbers.
Where you at this is uh, this is a massive game. Oregon.
Yeah, their only loss is to Washington. They lost thirty six to thirty three in their last one. Oregon is he They've been on you know what is it?
Terror?
Terror?
Yes, terror, We went over this before. Yeah, it's terror terror. They've been on a tear since their loss. Oregon has won every game since they're lost by an average of twenty six points. Bo Knicks leads the nation in passing yards with thirty nine hundred and second most in tds. Troy Franklin has the second most tds in the country with fourteen. Oregon's defense has only allowed two total touchdowns in their last two games.
Boys, Joey Parlay, where are you going minus nine and a half Oregon right now? The total one points sixty six and a half.
You taken over, you take an under, you take an Oregon to cover, you take in Washington.
It all seems crazy that it's not in half, considering Washington beat them, But Oregon gave them the game.
Last time by going for it.
So I will be riding Oregon to cover minus side and a half.
I do think Oregon that's a nutty pick.
I kind of yeah.
I think Oregon is the victor at the end of this game. But I think nine and a half points is way too many. Washington's on a perfect run. I want to believe in the Cinderella story, so I will be going Washington plus nine and a half.
Gee, yeah, this is tough. The last game was at Washington. I believe, like JP said, Oregon gave it to them. But I think Oregon's on a roll. Washington struggled with their with their wins, but I think Oregon gets this win nine and a half.
I'm gonna go with Washington plus nine and a half and the over.
Oh you're going with the over? You got two? He want two of them in there. I think I'm going Oregon. I think I'm going Orgon to cover. I just I like their team. I think that they play tough defense. I think that not like the other Pac twelve teams where they're light in the ass. They have good trenches. I want to see them go to the College Fable Playoff because I do think that they can compete. Don't want to give away a future pick by saying what I want the final four to be, but again, Oregon
winning creates more chaos. I want chaos. I want Orgon minus nine and a hal have to cover, all.
Right, Moving on Big Twelve. We got Texas first Oklahoma State. The line is thirteen and a half over under at fifty five and a half Texas, Man, I think it's Texas.
You think it's Texas Texas. Yeah, I don't know. Spread right now minus thirteen and a half. Texas is only allowing eighty five yards rushing per game. Oklahoma State has won both matchups with Sarkisian at Texas, Texas's last game a part of the Big Twelve before their moved to the SEC.
That's a great thing to note. Mitch.
Texas handled Texas Tech last week, Oklahoma State struggled against BYU. The total in points is fifty five and a half. The spread Texas is favored by thirteen and a half. I know for me, I will just say it right now. I'm gonna go with Texas to cover minus thirteen and a half. God Lee, that's a lot of points. I want Texas to win because I want Texas to make the final four. I want Michigan, Texas, Oregon and then whoever we talk about in this SEC Championship game, because
that is a massive game. I think I'm right with Texas minus thirteen and a half. Yeah, I'm going with Texas mina thirteen and a half.
JP.
Oh, I'm also ride in Texas thirteen a half.
What do you got, Jack, Yeah, Texas minus thirteen and a half, and I'm actually gonna take the under in this game.
Okay. Do you think they're gonna play some stout d against Oklahoma State?
Yeah?
I mean you can see Texas only allowing eighty five rushing yards per game, even though Starks got things figured out. It seems in their ten and a half point favorites five and two against the spread when they're ten and a half point favorites are more. I do think it's gonna be a big moment. So might be a defensive battle in the big twelve under in Texas minus thirteen and a half.
Hey, I do like that data point that you came up with, Jack, five and two against the spread when they're ten and a half point favorites or more under Sark.
Just kidding, that's Mitch, that's Mitchie data. That's Mitchie data, My ball, Mitch.
Do we know who is playing quarterback for Texas?
Uh?
Quinn Quinn's back? Fuck Quinn yours?
I think Oklahoma State's gonna I'm gonna take Oklahoma State thirteen and a half plus thirteen and a half.
But do you think that they'll upset them?
I don't think so.
I would love that, Yeah, I would love that, but I just don't think so.
Texas rolled last week.
Now do you think obviously everybody watching knows that Garrett he's got his Alabama hat on too, he went to Alabama. But do you think Texas wins Alabama wins the SEC Championship? Does Alabama get in over a Texas? Of course if they barely beat Oklahoma State. Yeah, but god, I want I would like to see chaos where they're both in. Yeah, I would like that, because then it's your rematching a game that took place in September.
Like, it's very different than for sure, you know.
To me, in my opinion, the SEC Championship should be to play into the playoff. I've said that, who else we got, Mitch Texas Texas minus thirteen and a half? Correct, and you're gonna you're the only one going to Oklahoma State plus thirteen and a half. All right, everybody else is going Texas mine thirteen and a half? Kickoff?
Is this?
No?
We got two more games, we got two more games. Let's go to the Big Ten Championship.
I think this, yep, Big Ten Championship the obvious one for Taylor. Michigan versus Iowa kind of the most boring of the championship games. Spread is twenty three over under thirty five and a half in Big ten fashion. Where are you going?
This is crazy? Clearly the most lopsided game this weekend. Uh IOA was defense is fourth in the nation, allowing just twelve point two points per game.
I don't know.
Last year Michigan beat the shit out from forty two to three two years ago. I don't know, man, I think I'm going to take the under. I'm going under. I believe in this game if Iowa have is a shot in hell, that's gonna be under. And I can also see that Michigan wins like thirty one to three. So I'm gonna go under Iowa versus Michigan. You never know if Michigan Michigan could beat their ass. I mean, I would, you know, arguably played a gaulllet of a schedule.
Big ten West beats up on each other.
They're not gonna be at full health this weekend against Michigan, so who knows how it's going. I'm gonna go under thirty five and a half points on the Michigan Iowa Big Ten Championship.
I am gonna go over thirty five and a half points because Iowa's defense it's impressive, but they have not really played against like legit offenses. Michigan is extremely talented. They're more talented than they were two years ago. So I could see Michigan scoring all of these points.
Just could be thirty five nothing.
Yeah, Uh, Taylor was on this bus. I was gonna take Iowa with the points.
I think Taylor was even before Taylor was over there and he's like, I, I, you know, I might take Iowa with the points. You guys know how it is when it's above twenty, you kind of take the other team because Michigan doesn't cover a whole lot.
I'm gonna take Iowa plus twenty. Yeah, I don take Iowa plus twenty.
Miss everybody man, embrace it.
This one is boring, but I kind of agree with Hove, and I think the over is gonna hit, and I think Michigan has all the points.
I think that it'll just be a game where I might score a touchdown. Because they're gonna have that one like crazy trick play that they've been like holding out for all season. Nice gonna happen early in the game. They'll be like, oh, I will like they might roll and then that will be the last points they score. So I think they'll get their one trick play.
Touchdown, deep shots of the quarterback, two sixties run down the sideline.
Where you going, Mitch, I'm going Michigan with the points in the over.
You're going two picks as well. Okay, you're putting a lot on the fucking line, dude.
If you want to ride with me, all right, do it?
All right, Let's get into the uh the final guess for last, the best for last, The final game of the week, the SEC Championship.
Georgia versus Alabama. Go ahead, jack.
Line Upbama minus four and a half over unders fifty six and a half. The battle in Atlanta. Will it be a home game for Georgia? Will Alabama be able to recreate something that they haven't been able to do the last few years? Go ahead and give a tr No, what are you going? I'm going Georgia minus four and a half. Alabama versus Auburn, I said it last week. Everyone was on Aubury and Bama minus fifteen or whatever. I said, Look, they just lost to New Mexico State.
They paid them one point seven million dollars. They're gonna come out angry, and they did, and they almost beat Alabama if it wasn't for one of the craziest rivalry week or just possible endings to a college football game in the last decade. So I'll be going Georgia minus four and a half. It's it's in Atlanta. I think there's gonna be a lot of people that show off for both teams, but Georgia is hitting that late season shried Georgia minus four and a half and I'm taking the over half.
Oh you dirty little beast, Jack Jack, you and g best friends. Is there anything personal with that pick going Georgia.
Oh No, not at all. I mean, at the end of the day, I would honestly like to see Alabama probably over Georgia because they're sc West versus Sea East. But no no animosities, wors anyone. This is strictly just just busic Yeah, unbiased business decisions.
JP. Go ahead.
You don't win a game like Alabama won last week and not make it to the College Football Playoff. Every single team, you get a little bit of luck when you make that run. Alabama got their luck, and I think Alabama beats Georgia.
I got Alabama. Money Line, you're.
Saying, you don't make the costball Playoff without a game like that.
You don't make a national championship. I'm saying.
They got the juju. If Alabama gets into the College Football Playoff, they win the College football Playoff. That's what I'm saying. Scart, what are you saying. I'm gonna have to agree with Hove.
Georgia has been number one all year.
They're two time repeating champs.
But just like we struggled last week with Auburn, they struggled with Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech. They lost the bowling Green, they lost a bowling green. They're not in the SEC.
Hey, Auburn's not that good.
They're not that good, but they're in the SEC. And that stadium has a curse. That stadium as a curse. You watch that matchup a little longer now that we're friends, you'll see. But we got our revenge a decade later, and I think we take it. Money Line, and everyone better watch the fuck out because we're coming. Doc do g.
I'm gonna go strictly just the over. I think this is too close to call. I want Alabama to win just because it would cause put the playoff comittee in an absolute blender, but I don't want to put my reputation on that, So I'm gonna go.
With the over.
Georgia scored thirty points in the last seven games, and the over has hit in h straight of Alabama's games, So I'm going.
With the over has hit in the eighth straight YEP of Alabama games.
That might be the move. Put me down for the over. Are you over?
Jake?
You're over?
Right?
Yeah?
Mitch is over? Garrett?
Are you over?
I honestly think it's.
Look, I'm gonna go. I'm going Bama. I'm going Bama. And I literally just changed my mind because I was gonna go Georgia because I think the way that they survived and escaped against Auburn is.
Kind of like, man, are they ready for Georgia?
But whoever said that that last trip player, I think it was JP and then you said juju or whoever said they got the juice?
I think it was you guys.
In the bag, not the trick play, getting lucky on a play, and then they got the juice because they made something happen at the end. That mentality is not wrong because you do escape, you get into the locker room, you basically just say, hey, you know, survive in advance. You're getting to the big dance, like this is the only game you need to win to get into.
The college fall playoff.
I think that they are all focused on that, and I think Milrod, knowing that he had that play in the corner, had that last play, like he has the fucking juice for real. I know, I saw that he's definitely should not Yeah, but he shouldn't get the heisman.
I mean yeah. I love the moment. Yeah doubted I mean even by his own squad for a minute.
Yep.
I love the bounce back. I love the story. Didn't you doubt him?
Me?
You had a little doubt. You had a little doubt on him at the beginning of the year. You can't find him.
But I'm just saying, you know, you can flip now, you can be like listen, I was somebody who kind of had my.
Thoughts, my question marks, like is he the guy or not? No, I've I don't know. Maybe yeah I can be the guy.
Yeah I was, yeah, Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, he's got he's had a great turnaround.
He's had a great turnaround. Earlier in the year.
You would not have said he's the top four quarterback. You don't know that, but yes I do. You saw that performance can sell su that's coming back. Listen, I got Alabama. I'm with you. I'm with you.
Why are you coming at me?
Cause you go you said, hey, I said Milroe he's definitely got the juice for real. And You're like he was doubted and I'm like, yeah, he was dout and then called my brain. I'm like, yeah, you kind of doubted him too, and you're just saying, no, I didn't, No, I didn't you doubt it.
Matter?
Yeah, it don't matter, it don't matter. We're going Alabama money line. And I also like the over. I also like the over. Now it seems like there's been no consensus or unanimous decision on any picks. If you're still watching right now, listen, comment, tag a friend, comment, put your Twitter use your name, tag a friend, because for every comment, I'm throwing a dollar into the pot. If that I'm spending all that money and if it hits on this pick that we're about to decide, I'm going
to disperse it in Venmo. It to you and your friend that you tagged. So we got to figure out what we're trying to do, whether it's a little two leg parlay, whether it's something we can all get on board with. I thought it was going to be the over in the SEC Championship. G likes the under. Is there something in there that we feel like we can kind of you know, maybe it's a couple couple overs that we like. Maybe we lean on Mitch and put his entire reputation when he threw in a couple extra picks.
All right, we took a quick break to talk this over. I think we've came down. I need to officially change a pick of mine because we got a rock with this for this two lake parlay we're putting together based on all the comments. Remember there's five hundred comments, five hundred dollars into the pot. If you win, you and your you and your buddy that you tag gets the gets the payout through Venmo. We're gonna go. I'm officially changing my Michigan. I would pick to the over over
thirty five and a half. I'm no longer taking the under. It's over thirty five and a half and we're gonna two lake parlay it With the SEC Championship, we're taking the over in that as well. That's at what fifty six and a half? Yeah, So the over in both the Big Ten Championship and the SEC Championship as a parlay, I would assume it's probably sitting around plus one point eighty plus two hundred something like that. Based on all the comments we get by kickoff Saturday, I will match
that dollar amount, all right. I will match that comment amount with the you know, per dollar comment equals dollar and then we ride this wave. We do it together, and then we randomly pick a winner once this parlay hits, because we feel good about it, and we're doing two lake parlay, so that way we can keep the risk down, but with a little extra boots, a little extra some plus odds and there versus just a lock of minus one ten or minus one oh eight or something like that.
But do we feel good?
Plus two fifty seven is the odds.
That two leg parlay plus two fifty seven Championship Weekend, The Championship Parlay brought to you by bet the Bus. We feel good boys, right fucking ride. Appreciate you guys for tuning in. Leave comments, Leave comments, Leave comments, big hugs, tiny kisses, as always, make God have mercy on the board because we fucking won't
