You're listening to the Back Home Network presented by Home Field Apparel. All right, folks, Welcome back to Crimson Cash. Excited to have you with us recapping Week 6. Going into Week 7, if you listened last week, you did really well, James, as I see it
went four and two with one push. We got to talk about the Indiana line because we also have some fun bets on that, but James, James killed it last week Before we get to James, take those winnings and use them to buy home field apparel, home field apparel, softest fabrics in Indiana. Kelly. School of Business founded company check them out. It's and it's the time of year getting into hoodie season. Although today's like aggressively hot here in Westfield.
Kind of like I I normally once I go from shorts to jeans, like I'm kind of stuck in jeans and I don't like to go back and same thing. And so it's like I hate those days in the fall where it's like I do them in Jean weather. It's like it's too hot. And then the days in the spring where it's like I went to shorts and I'm freezing but I don't feel apparent. I can save you with that because I got I can throw on a nice hoodie. Good to go. Tons of great designs.
If you haven't purchased before, use the promo code HOME 23 for 15% off your first purchase. With that, let's go to the man who's winning all that money. James, man, how you doing? Doing great. You forgot to mention the two parlays I mentioned at the end of the show last week, also both hits. So yeah, we did. We had a great week last week. But Scott, you know, I just do want to mention you seem stocky enough that you could do shorts year round. You seem like a guy who might
who might. I might see at the gas station in January pumping his car with like a hoodie and a pair of gym shorts on. I'm going to take that as a compliment, I think. I think I should. I don't know. It's it's like a backyard. You have Hardy stock, we'll call it that. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm short, stock a guy. No I I carry I I carry it well. I think it look great. I I love shorts, man. Shorts are fantastic. I want to keep them as long as I
can, but once you go to jeans. You know I'm I'm kind of in in Gene weather for me now. Are you a short shorts guy like OG Anna Nobi, or are you more like Fab 5? I'm like, I'm like fab five with cargoes, like I'm, I'm full into dad mode. I am, I'm, I'm cargo short guy. I have two sons. I love the cargo shorts. I like them a little bit for kids. And now that I have kids, they're fantastic. They're so useful. It's the best.
All right, man, let's last week like I said, you went four and two, you had a push Maryland, you went Maryland plus 20 and they were right at plus 20. But we had, we'll start off with this because we also had a side bet to start to kind of end the podcast where the Indiana, Michigan line would kind of come in at. I said 36, you said 30 1/2 and that half point gives us a push. So you you went for the half you shouldn't. If you would have gone straight
31 you would have won. But I have it coming in at 33 1/2. So we are both three points off. I have good news. It's now down to 33. I don't see it on my book, so I'm I'm calling that a go to DraftKings. That's not a reputable book, but I've never heard of DraftKings. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, so I I'm I'm sticking with the line I see here on the Action Network of reputable site. For reputable men, for reputable betting. So we have all right.
So you were really close. We're both really close. We're both really close. It's a ridiculous line. For a Big 10 game against a Big 10 opponent, it's a ridiculous line, yes. And I mean, yeah, it's a good thing. We already played Ohio State and we have another ridiculous and Penn State. One's not going to be much better. I don't think I have already put money on Michigan to cover this. This is a this is a new. I don't care how ridiculous it is. Can I throw some numbers at you,
Scott? All right, dead last in the entire NCAA college football is Indiana University in yards per play on offense. Do you want to know who has one of the best defenses in all of college football? A-Team giving up 6.7 points per game. That would be the. The Wolverines? Yes, and they've given up more than seven points to exactly 1 opponent this year. There's a good chance I U gets shut out. I think Michigan's been itching
for a shutout all year. This isn't a situation like Ohio State faces where they've got Penn State next week and they could be looking forward. Michigan's got Michigan State next week. They can cakewalk through these next two weeks and Harbaugh is going to make damn sure they don't. He's going to be on their asses. He's going to cover this spread with, I think this thing's probably 42 to 3:49 to 6:00, somewhere in that range. I think Michigan like just wins in a cakewalk on this thing.
I You won't be able to do anything offensively. But what about? What about our new offensive coordinator? Are we not going to see just a whole new offense? Kyle Shanahan could walk in? It's not going to matter. You know that door team Sean McVeigh could walk in. It's not going to matter. You know, like you can take whatever offensive genius in history you want. It's not going to matter because Michigan's defense is far, far superior to anything.
I use space this year. They're they're much better than Ohio State's defense, but our team. Plays so well in Rd. Big 10 games. What's that? But we play so well on road Big 10 games. I know, I know. And that's kind of what keeps me, you know, you know, wary about this bet. Although it's odd, the public is actually on the I U side on this in the 60% margin of spread bets. They obviously have never seen I
U football play a game. These are probably nervous Michigan fans who think Harbaugh, who thinks Harbaugh will cover this giant spurt rat. I'm telling you, this is one I'm taking. I've already put money on it. It is not my bet of the week. But I love Michigan to roll in this game. There's really. Go ahead, it may show up as part of our teaser parlay at the end.
There's really nothing more I U football than us firing our offensive coordinator, hiring a new one in the off week and then coming out and being shut out like that. That just that is just I U Football. Like it's like you guys are. You are doing what's expected out of you. Well, they're not. They're not going to do anything different. They're not. There's not a new offense that was installed. There's not a new playbook
that's been installed. They're going out and doing the exact same things with the exact same personnel, but the execution is supposed to be better. I don't know. I'm not buying it. And and to I mean to put a nail on this like it's it's not just they can't do something differently. They could like, I just don't think they have the pieces to do something different. It's not like, oh, we're going
to run an Air Raid offense. Like, all right, well, you need a you need like a quarterback and you need an Air Raid quarterback. And unfortunately, that one is in Washington right now. Yeah, no kidding. That's. Yeah, I I I agree. There's nothing that they can do different. They don't have the personnel. They're kind of stuck. And I think Michigan's going to feast. I think. I think they're really wanting
to get a shutout. They've gotten close a few times this year, and I just seems like something Harbaugh will be pushing them to do. It well, I mean, all they all they have to do is let us get to the goal line and then they know those last four times. Well, I I think there's zero chance Tom Allen kicks a field goal in this game. Now they could try to play the rope, a dope strategy, which they did against Ohio State, right?
Where they don't show anything, but I don't think that our rush defense is capable of handling this Michigan rush attack. Ohio State I thought took it easy on us. They did not pound the ball the way they could have against us on the ground. Michigan is not going to have that problem. They are going to just run all over us and then they're going to play action and and you hit a few 60 yarders as well I'm guessing. I I agree. I don't. There's not much more to talk about like over under.
Can I just throw a couple other lines out there Over under I U points for the entire game? 5 1/2 on DraftKings right now. Is that really an actual bet? That's an actual bet you can make right now. I would. I mean, obviously, I know you'd say under the under is the answer. Those bets do I think over is the answer. Those bets scare me because yeah, I mean, like you can be getting shut out and then one broken play, you lose the bet, somebody fumbles upon at the,
you know, goal line and pick. 6 Jalen Lucas like gets open for something like the things can happen where it's like shutting A-Team out is hard. Yeah, 5 1/2 is a tough bet to me. If it was 7 1/2, I mean that's no brainer under like it doing that's.
Agree. But I would say that's a stay away because like nothing is worse than it being like 42 to nothing going into like 5 minutes to go and you're like why did I why did I bet I U or it's like 43 to 3 or 42 to 3:00 and you're like, damn it look I U do the first half line spread line is 20 1/2. That's wild. It's. I guess you're going to cover that too. I got. To be Yeah, it's not good. All right. Next up we have Michigan's next opponent.
Michigan State is going to Rutgers and Rutgers, only four and a half point favorite. That's kind of surprising. I would have if I was playing guess the lines. I would have guessed that a little bit higher. It's moving at some books. It's at 5 now at some. So if you like Rutgers, which I do, take them at the four and a half. I think Rutgers should win this by a touchdown. MSU is not very good. This will be a low scoring game, defensive struggle, but I think
Rutgers wins and they cover. We'll talk about this near the end. There's a chance next week's Crimson Cash might be a little bit delayed or odd, so I'll ask you this now how do you think about Indiana against Rutgers for homecoming? You said not not line wise. I'm just like, do you think that's a game Indiana's has a chance to win? If you're going to schedule a school for homecoming, they'd be on the short list. I don't think they have a chance of winning the game.
I don't think they're going to win another game this year. You might be right. All right, we'll come back to that. All right, Next up, we have Ohio State going to Purdue. This is a 19 1/2 point line. Obviously Ohio State is favored. I thought for a while there Maryland was going to beat him. I was watching that game. Maryland looked really good for a good portion of that game in the Ohio State. Like Ohio State didn't really blow the doors off. They just like got slightly
better. Like I'm I'm Ohio State looks like a team that's ready to lose. I'm just not sure when it's going to happen. I wouldn't think it's happening this week, but what? What do you think? At 19 1/2? I think the Ohio State offense is like trying to plug a dam with your finger, Okay. You get one hole, then another one springs up, and then another one, and eventually you run out of fingers and toes and they're just going to score points on you. It's just a matter of time until
they put up 42 points, right? I mean, it kind of feels that way. They may start off sluggish, they may start off slow, but all you got to do is get the ball to Marvis Harrison Junior and by God, they get every call we could possibly imagine. I mean, they're at. Home. What do you expect? Yeah, yeah, I know. But you know and this will be at, you know, this will be on the road for them and it's kind of a been a place of bugaboos for them.
So I think Brian Day will be able to keep them from looking past Purdue towards Penn State because of that. I mean Purdue has upset them before. This Purdue team will not do that. This is my pick of the week. I love the Buckeyes to cover this by three touchdowns. Boiler bucks my my My insider for Purdue football agrees wholeheartedly. He's weigh in on this. I I placed a bet on this already at 19, 1/2. You can get it at 19 now at some
books. So get an extra half point if you can and take the Buckeyes because they're going to roll on this thing. Would have been funny. If you're like, there's the There's a chance Hudson Card made him play, too. It would have been fun as thinking like as you were saying if you were like my block of the week is Ohio State to win on the money line. Like I just, I see them winning. I like Ohio State, like Ohio State. Michigan money line winners like that's just that's my pick of the week.
That'd be great. If you look at the like the matchup percentage wins on some of these sites, you know have like 97% chance to win. They had 97% chance for Ohio State to win this game. I saw 99% for Michigan to win. Yeah, I mean that's. All right, Next up we have Illinois is at Maryland. Maryland is a 13 1/2 point favorite. Like I said, I I was impressed with what I saw out of Maryland against Ohio State. So they're they're back home 13 1/2 favorites against the
alignment. Yeah, this is 14 and a lot of books. If you can get that 13 1/2, go for it, because I love the Terps here. Maryland is a good football team. They played Ohio State very tough and like you said, they had a chance where they looked like they might win that game. Game. They didn't. And I think they're going to go home and they're going to get right against a horrible Illinois football team. I I think this thing's probably not very close.
I think Maryland's going to do to Illinois what they did to I U, and I think they should easily roll in this game. You're just you're on the cover train, man. This is all covers, just straight covers. So Next up, we got a light on it, Penn State. Dude, stop. Like play big 10 games. Like, I don't know what these teams are doing. Like, Penn State is hosting UMass. Penn State is a 41 1/2 point favorite. Again, play some Big 10 games, man. It's October. We're taking fall break.
Like this is this is Big 10 football season. You keeping the cover train going? You like the Nittany Lions to cover 41 1/2. I am now, yes, because it's was 43 1/2 earlier and this has gone down, I think. I mean, come on. They're going to put up probably 56 points, you know? And so I mean that means you mass has got to score, you know more than two touchdowns. I hate, I hate covering this much, but I do like the favorites this week. So give me Penn State to cover this enormous line.
I. I love the idea of us doing a Big 10 cover parlay just across the board and seeing what the odds are on that. Well, last one before we get there. Maybe. Maybe we're going to have a cover train here. We have Iowa going to Wisconsin. Iowa like is anything more predictable than Iowa not looking great at all this year but it's like oh, they're five and one. It's like just every year is the same. They can't score. Got all kinds of problems with
their five and one. They are a 10 point underdog going to Wisconsin. I want the I want, I want a full week of covers. Let's go Wisconsin to cover. You like it? I can't do it. 10 points that Iowa defense, forget about it. I'll take the I'll take double digits in that Iowa defense. True they're often sucks balls but that defense is pretty fucking solid. So I'll take a double digits on the road in a rivalry game. Is that one of their like 7 protected rivals that is
Wisconsin? Yes, Yeah, Wisconsin got like 15 protected rivals. Yes, they just, they I got the most, didn't they? They they get like Nebraska and they get Wisconsin and they get Minnesota and I think, I think that I think they got 3 protected rivals. That sheet was up before was before Washington, Oregon. Had they resent out that like they Yeah, they kept their protected rivals. OKOKI didn't know they updated.
I mean, I and who knows, maybe we'll have like two more teams out of the Big 10 before next year anyway, So they might have more, maybe some of the back 12 teams that we're looking at this week. Yep. Well, I like what, Scott, the idea of Wisconsin is going to the Big 10 office. Like we want to protect your rival just to be the Big 10. W like we just want to keep it. Like we like this. We kind of like just us and Iowa just swapping who goes to the championship game.
So we'll just keep doing that. Can I make sure I get Northwestern? They're a big rival of mine. Yes, Northwestern, Illinois. Just huge games against them. I U tons of bad blood with I U every single year. I really want to see what a. What a parlay of all your covers would be. So a Michigan cover, a Rutgers cover, Ohio State cover, Maryland cover, and a Penn State covers. Throw all those in a parlay and like throw 5 bucks on. I think that'd be fun. We'll post it to X. We'll do that.
We will. All right, let's go to the PAC 12, our two adopted teams. First up, Stanford is at Colorado. Colorado is an 11 1/2 point favorite. Yeah, I'm going to switch it up here and go over under 59. 1/2 is the total. I like the under here. Actually, I think you. Can get 60 at some books, so there you go. Yeah, so take the under at 60. I think that's a lot of points. Stanford's not great offensively. Colorado's not great defensively.
I think this is going to be kind of a slow, little piddly game, and Stanford tends to keep things slow and low. So I like that to prevail on this one. Last night I've mentioned my buddy Robert a lot. He lives in the street. He's a Michigan State grad. We each bought 20 bucks worth of Powerball tickets and did the, you know, whoever wins the 1.7 billion splits it. And so we had a gentleman's agreement.
Neither of us won. I think I would have led the pod with that, but we did have the discussion that whoever's ticket won. Got the first shot to go buy to to go try and buy Dion as their as their football teams coach because he wants them for Michigan State. I would want him for I UI. Don't think he'd go to either school but it's like if I won 1.7 billion I would easily just put you know 70 to 80 million on trying to get Dion and he's like oh I'm in. I'm like, well then.
Like I is like, so was like my idea is that that was an agreement we had last night. So had I won the Powerball and had my number been the right had my ticket been the winner, I would have had first shot at at going for Dion now okay. So this is interesting. You got enough money to talk. Any coach you want to come to coach I U football is Dion who you go. Get That's a great question. I don't think it's who I go get. Probably not. And you're assuming, like I always say, money will solve
everything. I mean, there's some guys like money solves everything. It is like Ryan Day is not leaving. Like, I don't think you could offer Ryan Day enough money like he just be like, I wouldn't want Ryan Day. Well, I'm not saying you would. Who would you want? I'd take Nick Saban and a heartbeat. That's who I'd go get. A little too old though. I'm like, can you get 10 years off of it? Like, do I get a time machine with it? Sure, yeah, yeah.
Living in a world where you just won $1.7 billion, you can do whatever the hell you want. No time machines. I'd probably go Kirby Smart, Kirby Smart Okay. That's not bad. I like it. But but again I I I think for most coaches I truly but in in a like we win the lottery. I do think there's a world where like I think 90% of coaches you could get to I U with enough money. It'd be an absurd amount of money. You can get most of them there. I I think there's a list of guys where money does.
If you're Kirby Smart, it's like. I I, you know, I'm not, I don't care if you're going to pay me 20 million a year. Like I don't want to like I just, I'll make 10 mil and win titles at Georgia. Like, I mean, there comes a point where it's like I don't want to basically go to a rebuilding project for double the money. Yeah, but some of those guys have an ego, and they really like the project.
Like the think of Theo Epstein. I mean, he won a World Series with the Red Sox, his boyhood favorite team, right? He didn't need to accomplish anything. And where the hell did he go? To the goddamn Chicago Cubs. Because what if there was one project that was tougher to pull off than the Red Sox winning World Series? It was the Cubs winning World Series. And it's fair. But that's that's not like
Georgia wasn't a project. I mean they they were like just kind of a they were not doing well, but they had all the pieces. Well, they had all the, yeah, they were sleeping giant, you know, But, you know, I mean, well, I could use that without you basketball, you know, I mean sleeping giant type of, you know, things. So I don't know I Kirby Smart's a great choice. I would take Nick Saban because I know what he can do. I think the age is a little bit rough with save.
Yeah, it's it's fun. I I I do This got another decade and I'm easy. I I do this like once a year like you know the the to me it's like Powerball's over one five or one seven bill. Like I'm I'm always. If I can remember, like, I'm not a big, I'll like, I will do it and then I'll spend like an 30 minutes thinking like, all right, what would I do? And just have fun. Like, you know, it's like, all right, I'll put 100 million in the bank, you know, buy some stocks.
It's like that. That's going to be my investment money. Then like I'll still have like 400 million to play with. Like, how are we going to spend that money? My wife blames me when our tickets don't win, so she thinks I'm picking. She thinks I'm actually like, picking the numbers, like the old people at the counter where they're filling in their little #2 pencils. My, my wife, she. She went and got the take. She's great but she sucks at the
game. She's always like well I'll pay off my parents house like that's nice. She's like you know like we can get you know lake house. I'm like, all right, she's like, I don't know maybe I'll buy some new shoes. I'm like, all right, like you suck. Like this is like I'm getting like, I'm like Netjet subscription. Like I'm I'm like itemizing, you know, I'm going to do things and see my first thing is, OK, So I called the attorney and this is how I hide money from the government.
And this is like that's my first thoughts is how to hide slash make more money. Off that money when James wins the the Powerball now it's going to be like, how does this guy not pay tax on it? Give me to the Caymans. All right. Our other our other team, USC, they are going to Notre Dame. They are a Just hold on. This is right. They are a 2 1/2 point underdog going to Notre Dame. I'm. I'm reading that right. OKI know where I stand and where I'm going to bet. What's your take on this line?
I love a bet on this game. Yes, look at the total there. Scott 60.5 that over is going to hit with ease. Sam Hartman's going to throw for four touchdowns in this game. I guarantee freaking T it and Caleb Williams will probably also throw for four touchdowns. This is the thing's going to be a barn burner. I got a USC has maybe the one of the worst defenses I've ever seen in college football.
Like it is tremendously bad. They're defensive players, don't even like to tackle like it is. It is comical to watch. It's like watching peewee football like it is bad. But their offense is lights out, so I think they'll be able to put up points against Notre Dame, which has a pretty good defense, But Notre Dame's passing attack and they're running attack going to be able to put up points.
It's a night game at Notre Dame Stadium, so I'm afraid to bet any money lines or spreads here, but I love a lot of points to be scored. I think I think USC covers this 2 1/2. I think they win. I'm as as you could tell by me reading the line out like if I was guessing lines I would have probably put USC as a 2 1/2 point favorite in the game. Even though it's another name, their name is not look fantastic. It's a home game. It's a night game.
State just went in and won. Like maybe USC is a 1 1/2 point favorite. So if if I like them at at money line, I love them at 2 1/2, that's a. That's a while. This is one of their lowest totals of the year, yeah. And they're straight off the game where they put where the combined tour I think was like 85 or 86. So that defense ain't stopping anybody. Do yourself a favor. Bet the bet the over root for points, you're going to see them. Have fun with it.
I love that. All right, I'm going to throw a curveball at you. We got one more, though. We did have a Twitter person I put out on Twitter calls for any suggestions for Crimson Cash and we got 1D K has their game of the week is Oregon at Washington. That's the game I was going to throw at you. No. I was like, I was like, we got to talk about that game. Yeah. And we were, we were asked to to look at that. And so I've got a few thoughts on that game.
I I I think Washington probably covers, but I want to stay away from that and I like 66 over on the total. I think that's a good bet. There some other bets that I like. Michael Pennix over 3 1/2 past touchdowns at plus 1/20. I think he may throw for four touchdowns in this thing because I think we're going to see a lot of points in this one. Oregon's going to put up their points too, so that's why I don't love the spread bets on this one. But I really like the points.
So looking for offensive overs, I think that 3 1/2 past TD's at plus 1/20 is pretty good. You cost that 50% onto that. You're getting really good return on your investment. This is one of the hold on I'm going to pull up Washington schedule right now because this is 1 where if they get through this they still have USC on their schedule but they get through this it's it's two weeks of they'll be at USC. I'm not worried about that. They'll crush US.
C So I'm just saying they get through this. It's now two weeks of you know, they're going to play Arizona State at home, they'll be at Stanford. You know the rest of October is going to be Washington National championship. Michael Pennix, Heisman talk like so just be prepared for that. Who's your fans? I can't stress it enough. Pennix would not for him. No, yes, 1,000,000%. Like I say this to everybody, for him with every ounce of my being. Me too. Love the kid. Me too.
And I say this like all the time. He would not be doing what he's doing. At I U right now, like he has targets, He has a line. Like this is when you have a highly talented quarterback and you put it around him. Yeah, yeah. When you, when you put those pieces around him, this is what happens. So to be like, oh man, we gave it like, yes, it sucks he's not here. If he was here, he would not be doing this. So, like, I'm so thrilled for him. I hope he does and I hope he wins the Heisman.
Like, go, go get it, man. Go do it. Absolutely. Yeah. I just wish it could have been in 2021 when I bet on it. But yeah, I didn't do that year. Yeah, I think I I might have bet on it this year too. Like I've it's a bit of fun, but you still like I think like 300 to 1 to start the season. I I took Marvin Harrison junior to win the Heisman at the beginning of the year, which was done after game one when they targeted him like twice. That's that's fair. Yeah. All right, man.
Marley teaser of the week. Give it to me. All right, so it's our 6.3 leg teaser here. All right, We're taking Michigan -33, That'll be -27. We're taking Ohio State -19, 1/2, That'll be 13 1/2. And we're taking Maryland -14 down to -8. Parlay all three of those together at plus 160 odds, plus 170 on FanDuel, which is a little bit better on their odds with teasers, and you're going to get yourself a nice little
bundle of winnings. Michael Penix is now the favorite on DraftKings for Heisman voting, by the way. Wow. Plus 220, so that over 3 1/2 past touchdowns. That's looking even better to me because when you're a Heisman candidate, generally your coach likes to feature you even more. And and not that they haven't been featured, you know what I mean? It's a pretty fast, heavy office. This should be a really fun game to watch, yeah? That's going to be, that's going to be a lot of fun.
Alright man, dude, thank you for hopping on. So next week for a listeners out there and James, James and I are going to figure we'll try and figure out there. We are going to do our best to bring a Crimson cash. I am on fall break. The wife and the boys and I are going on a nice little trip or going out of the country, so it's going to depend on Internet and how much there's going to be beach and sun and. I don't know how much going to the Caymans. Not going to the Caymans, doing
Turks and Caicos, though. close we're doing. We're doing. Very close. We're doing, yeah. So let's talk off the air about lottery winnings and getting some shell corporations. I'm actually finishing Ozarks. I'll be watching that in the way down. So I'll know all about moving money and yeah, we can. Let's talk off the air now at this point. Now doing a family vacation there. It's a great place, but.
That said they have good Internet, but you know whether I'll be able to pull myself away or you know, so we'll see. Crimson Cash may or may not be back next week. I'm going to talk to James which might do some fun stuff with it. But if we don't do it, I I will probably be able to post something very quickly while we're there. But be on the lookout. Maybe I can talk the good doctor into guest hosting for you for a week. You could try that, yeah. I'll reach out to it.
We'll see. Oh, no, I have an idea on how we can do this. So, okay cool. But we'll figure something out. So, all right, well, but until next week or until two weeks from now. James, thanks for joining us. Good luck out there. Be safe. And again, appreciate all the listens. By the way, James, you are on the 1001 episode of Crimson Cast Sweet. I had the over. Great way to end. All right. Thank you all for listening for Scott. Crib the cast Signing off home.
