Yeah. And the Hoosiers didn't cover, but we were able to scrounge up still be on the positive side on Saturday. Now, the colds Chiefs game that was a whole nother story, so not a great weekend for Crimson, cash overall. But on the college football said, we're still doing pretty well by the way. Shout out there to Kathy Amos on Twitter at Kathy underscore Amos who was like, tweeted out with what's the harmonica bet I Is now called the harmonica bet. I love it.
She did. Listen to forgot to throw it out there. So it's a good thing. That's the one that she forgot, so she still might be 3 and 0. Well, you know, Crimson cash was also given to us by the listeners. So we're just not very creative, I guess I know what you mean. Oh no, we have fantastic listeners. I will sail ago. Yeah, I will say this. We're going to add a new wrinkle to the the Pod this week. I'm going to try and guess what the harmonica bet is. Going to be whoo.
All right, I love it. I was looking a bit. Look at the lines today, trying to guess what it is. I anyway, I won't I won't bore people with my story of why we're doing this in our later, not that anybody else cares. But man, what a, it's been a wild day for me up here, but I won't get into it. But just know that it's been a wild day. And he's not in Florida folks so he's not like like death's doorstep or you know about to drown us. I'm totally fine.
It's a yes, I feel for people who are an actual pero. I just now everything I say is going to make it sound so so lame but there's like 11 o'clock. I had to go to the eye doctor and then it's like two minutes from my house and like 11:15 the power goes out and I'm like, wow it only take a couple minutes and I realize the power is out of my house. So it's like I'll just hang out until like you know the power turns. Kind of like three and a half hours just sitting there
waiting. It's like, do I leave? I got was given ten more minutes the whole time. I'm just like waiting and waiting and waiting. And the power family comes back on, get everything wrapped up. Get home just in time for the bus, stop. And then it's like I hadn't eaten lunch and again, not these are not real problems, but yeah, that's that's what I've been doing dealing with today, good time. And then like getting my router to restart, it was a whole thing. So yeah, nobody cares about any
of this. I should probably cut all of this, but I in true Crimson cast fashion. I will not when the lights went out of the house, Am, did you go? I'm blind. That would have been great. No, I didn't. I just kind of sat there and I'm like, I knew what was going on and it was funny like couple days later. The doctor came in with like a flashlight and he's like, are you like, you're okay and what? Yeah, I get it and like the whole time, like, you can go home like yeah.
Like there's no, there's no power at home, either. Like, the minute. I go home and Powers going to turn on to reschedule. If you guys will hang out and they're they're being nice, like, you can leave Mike. I understand not being held hostage, like I get it like, I'm just, I got nothing else to do so. Yeah. That idiot pointed again, are they're going to close down if you weren't there? I know, I know they could have had like a party or maybe they
cut the power. They wanted me to leave but jokes on them because I didn't. And anyway, let's do some currency cash, we're going to save the IU game for last and here's a here's the game will play. I'm going to start with what I think the harmonica bet is. Okay, I'm looking at it. It's tough but here's what I think it is. We have Illinois at Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a seven-point favorite. I'm not sure Wisconsin's awesome, but it's at Wisconsin,
I'm not sure, Illinois is good. I think the harmonica bet is taking Wisconsin to cover seven points. Well, we are taking Wisconsin to cover seven points so you have guessed that correctly and it was my number two choice. But I do. I do love that that line has gone down that line started around nine and it's going down. I think Wisconsin's got to be able to cover this at home. They specially coming off of their feet down.
Yeah, yeah. Now they need to, if they want to be like the class of anything of what we consider, the Big Ten West, they have to do that, man. I was one away. Oh, I like this addition to the edge of the pot. This is fun. I'm going to say the Indiana game for last so I don't know. The harmonica bet is we have Michigan at Iowa? Michigan, you know what I as always I got to give James credit.
I love now looking the week ahead, although it is it's tough to go and find those bets and like You can place them and navigating them on the, on the different bet sides. But at one point, you could get Michigan as only a four point favorite in this game, but it's now 10 and a half at Iowa II. Should have bet it at four and a half. I really wish I would have, but yeah. Michigan at 10 and a half at Iowa. Yeah, I would have liked for that.
Have been great and this was 11. So it's going down a little bit. It, if that Trend continues, you might want to hold off. If you can get to that number like 9 and a half, maybe I'd out against that low, but it may get down to 10 that be, you're going to take Michigan. I think. I think they're going to be able to cover that. I think it'll probably be closed for a little while, but Michigan will pull away and I would does not have the horses to hang with them. So yeah, I'll take Michigan and
lay the points there. Just just randomly, do you think last week's verse Result against Maryland, is that a heel? A little concerned about Michigan, not being that good. You think Maryland's better or you just kind of fluff that off I think Maryland's, okay, I mean, they're not a bad football team. So, you know, and Michigan and played nobody. So I think I think I talked it up to those two things. It was the first time Michigan
had been tested. Maryland, had already been tested, I mean, that game against SMU they were in a real fight you know? And and you know, they were up for playing at the big house you Until their players were up for it. So I think it was just a combination of factors but I think Michigan's it certainly get right against Iowa. It's funny that. And by the way this Union, I mean still, I mean you know they
ended up winning the game. I mean, you know, it wasn't particularly that close, you know, by the end of it, but Maryland played himself for quite a while. Yeah, I would say that. It's I agree with you. I think it's also funny that like that what you just said is the Result for Indiana, like if Michigan is not as good as we thought, but Maryland is better. That's not good, because for us to beat Michigan, Michigan has to be really bad and that wasn't
the case. And for us to be Marilyn like we're kind of some people think that's a, you know, a game we could win. It's like they can't be good like what we needed that to be as like a game or it's like, that's a total fluke or Michigan's complete garbage. But like, the Michigan's, maybe not as good and Marilyn might be a lot better. Like that's the worst case scenario for IU. Yeah.
I mean I already had the Maryland IU game as a loss for IU. So I mean, I thought they were better than I you going into the year and it still looks like that. So You have Purdue going to Minnesota. Minnesota is Row in the boat, Man. 4 and 0 class of the Big Ten. West Minnesota is favored by 12 and a half points. This is a perfect letdown spot, right? Yeah. But if they were play anybody, but Purdue there by anybody. But Purdue so, give me the go first and I'm going to lay the points.
I do. You can get that at 12 at some books. So, shop, your shop, your spreads, folks. But yeah, give me the Gophers in that one. You can't, ya DraftKings. You can get it at 12. There you go. Yeah, I'm going off of Action Network and mostly about MGM. So you're right. Always look at the different books, something else. James taught me, are we did it on our Wisconsin, Michigan, State at Maryland again this
line to opened with my gosh. This line opened with Michigan State, being a four and a half Point favorite, they are now an eight and a half Point Underdog, that line must have been posted before that. Michigan the beat down by Minnesota, again, future lines. There's a lot of fun there, we have one more. We're going to talk about. We're done with this week. But anyway. Michigan State going to Marilyn, will you guess we'll find out if
Michigan state is bad? And if Maryland is good, but man, eight and a half for Maryland to cover. What do you think? Okay, so this is a, this game is a perfect. A have something I want to talk about. Yeah where you can kind of predict. What Vegas thinks the final score is going to be, all right? And so here's what you do, you take the total on this game, which is 60 points, right? Cut that in half and then you take half of the spread and add
and subtract to that number. All right, so if you look at this, 34 to 26 is the expected final score. Because that would be a total of 60 points with an 8 point spread, right? Right. So when I was first learning to gamble, one of the things that was tough for me was, you know, I'd always watch games as win or lose you know. It did you know an over under 60 like what does that mean? What do they think this game is going to be? Why is this eight points matter?
You know, as opposed to three? Well, you know the higher that total the lower the total it can affect that kind of little formula there and they kind of gives you an idea of what kind of game you're looking at or what kind of gave Vegas thinks it's going to be. And that's where you can say. Well I don't think it's going to be like that at all. Maybe you think Michigan state has scored 26 points? Not right now? No, no, you no you no, you think. Marilyn can score 34?
Absolutely, you know. So that's one of those. You know, when you look at that, you go, wow, I can see Marilyn doing that. But I don't see Michigan State pulling that off. That's when you can say give me Maryland - eight and a half points. Okay, so so you're saying if you see that lay that out again live that out again. Sure so. So you know, I will So you take, you know, have your total and you go half the spread on either side of that. So we have 3426. I see Maryland.
Yeah, they could score 34 points. I can see that happening. I don't see Michigan skate, state, courts, corn 26. So that tells you two things, one, you think just you're, you know, in your mind if you're looking at it that way you may then you're like oh well that means the Maryland will cover and I think I'll probably go under you know so good. I don't think that many points are scored, you know or something.
Does it kind of help? It kind of helped me when I was first learning how to do it conceptualize how the game was going to go and kind of place my bets based upon that it's great called what we'll come back to that. Let's look at that with the Nebraska game so I think the
next two lines. The next two lines are pretty wild like they're both 2030 Point lines of probably doesn't make a lot of sense like the Penn State Northwestern the next game we're in a look at Penn State is favored by 25 and a half. I mean using your logic so that the or using your Plan, which I like 51 and a half, is the over-under. So you take half of that, which is 25, but it's like half of the 25 of the oh it's it becomes really like is it doesn't work on say yeah it doesn't work.
Yeah, the large lines, you know? Yeah, so yeah. So anyway, let's come back to it for the Indiana game. I love this. I love this a lot anyway. So yeah, Penn State is favored by 25 and a half over Northwestern. Yeah. And on this one, you know, when I look at this northwestern's horrible and I don't know how much Penn State is going to want to run up the score, but I don't think they're going to have to try and want to. So yeah, give me Penn State to cover. Another big lot.
So again, well something we've been we've been following here as reported first on Crimson, cash, Ohio, State's, good, their lines are Bonkers. I've been saying for a while, they're not going to have a single digit line all season and they definitely don't against Rutgers I texted. This is you beginning of the Tuesday, sort of looking at lines. I had to text you.
If you got to see this fuckers Ohio State Line, it opened at 41 and a half, lots of money on Rutgers, because the line is just dress, Quickly moved its now, 39 and a half.
That's, that's a huge. I mean, just take a breath or two things to take from this line and then I want your thoughts one, that's a massive line for an in conference game against a team that's three and one I mean, I'm not sounding Rutgers is a world beater, but it's also like Rutgers is not complete garbage and secondly this does not bode well for what Indiana's future line. Could be when they go to the Horseshoe. I think are rallying cry. Beginning of the year as a key, Vote or 28.
I think, now, it's like beat the Rutgers line, like keep under 39 Indiana's line could be 47 by the time we get there. Anyway, my to thoughts on that. But what are your thoughts on Ohio state with a thirty nine? And a half point line versus Rutgers? They're going to cover it. I would have taken it at 41 because I had that's what I had. It written down at when I was planning for the podcast. It was at 41 and I would have taken that. So yeah, big lines though is like ice.
Yes, Ohio state is drastically better or how state will win by 28 30, you know, 34. So, but once you get to that, like 30 plus points are as a better. I've always nervous because it's like you're, you're putting into the hands like teams doing unconventional things, like is how the state going to run up the score. They just going to put in their third team and try not get hurt like this, Rutgers just going to run the ball.
Like you keep start playing very differently when there's 30 point, Thirty Point Gap, there's a chance Ohio State may have that covered by the end of the first half. They, I mean they they will be able to score at will on Rutgers Iowa, move the ball on Rutgers for god sakes. I mean, you know, Ohio, State come out with seven players on offense. I'm probably still put up 35 points against Rutgers so. Yes, normally these huge conference lines, worry me, but Ohio State's a little different
animals, would you? I'm looking at some of the other alternate lines, which you can get on dry days, kind of a dick hole and he's the kind of guy who will run up a score and and he will do so unapologetically. And so I mean you kind of got to look at their lines, a little differently. Yeah. People can't see me, but I'm kind of doing the yeah. I agree. You not alternate lines available on DraftKings, just curious. You take any of these instead.
You'd rather have you can do the first half, Ohio State to cover 25, or first quarter, a high 0 state to cover 10. I kind of like that first quarter bet. Yeah, I do too. Although first quarter bets are tricky because weird things can happen in a first quarter, you know, I mean team can, you know, have a, you know, eight-minute Drive the results had no points or you know somebody you know muffs Hunter something weird, those first quarter vets are
tough. Unless you really know that hey my team sucks in the first quarter. So I would rather take the full game with you know going back to that predicted score. This will be forty. Nine to ten you know. So you know, I think, oh, wow. It's going to score way more than 49 points. So, you know, I like the total over 59 points, I think Ohio State might get that by themselves, a bet you might look
at is what are the team totals. So, You can bet just how many points over under Ohio state will score and so that's one that would be available to you as well. Alright, our last game, this is going to be the harmonica game because we haven't had it yet. I'm annoyed because this was my second harmonica game picked. You have the over under of Indiana, Nebraska at 60 and a half around. Let me walk. Let me like check my work on this math problem. Nebraska is a five and a half.
Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on, hold on. Other harmonica we because I don't know which side were picking on. I'm gonna guess what side it is but I want to do. I want to do your math. I want to do your math real quick. Come on man, come on easy on the harmonica yet. So Nebraska is a five and a half Point favorite to 60 and a half point over under. So using the James system that cut it in half, that's 30 basically cut the line in half, that's two and a half.
So it's basically saying that Nebraska is going to score 32. Correct. So to be 32 228, it's kind of what you say would be somewhere. Yeah. And do you think like, so basically, then do you think Nebraska 13 career 27? So you know you'll what are you
looking at that range? You know, you feel comfortable with that and like I think Nebraska throws deep as we know in the last we had Taylor on in the last podcast with Gail and their talk a little about it. You know, Nebraska does is like the score they are able to throw deep. I so the second pick for harmonica was To be Nebraska to cover the five and a half. That is incorrect. Oh okay, give me that now, there we go. I need to learn. Indiana, are Indiana on this.
Oh yes. That'd be great or back home again. Yeah, yes, something like that. We will, I'll work on that. Okay. If anybody, anybody knows the harmonica notes, let me see me a Twitter or something. No, I like the Hoosiers to cover here. In fact, I actually like the Hoosiers. I'm going to sprinkle it on them to win outright. This is a winery. Why? Okay. So Nebraska's had Weeks to prepare. Right? Do you think that they've prepared for Indiana for two weeks who they play next week?
Well I don't know but I'm sure I'm sure as hell telling you, they don't record next week so they might they might take, it does not think they have to worry about Indiana University fair. I can tell you that they are overlooking IU and and I think it's going to bite him in. The ask is who the hell are they? Nebraska loss to Northwestern for god sakes. All right, sure. I you just got blasted by Cincinnati but that's a good football. Team Northwestern is absolute trash.
They cost money at me of Ohio, which by the way we call on the podcast last week, you know, so give me the Hoosiers. Give me the points. That's great. I love getting those points, but I think they might win this game outright Okay, I think it's gonna be nice for. I definitely think that 60 is going to be over. We'll see. I'm I would I would take Nebraska to cover the five and a half. I just our defense has been so suspect this year.
Our offense cannot run the ball and that's not something that normally changes much throughout the year. Bay's lack has had to throw a ton, he's going to have to throw a ton and even though Nebraska has been a bit of a mess it's still This is something we kind of don't get it on both sides. Like even Indiana. Basketball is not great. We're always like, I will simply Halls good for a couple wins a year. You know, Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. That's that's a tough place to
play. This is me kind of Nebraska beat you at Assembly Hall. They've done act. How many times does Penn State beat my unit assembly? All they've done anything. Yeah, exactly. And so, it's every bit as logical I you could win again in Lincoln. Yeah, it's possible. It's just, I would say it's that's a tough place to play. I'd love to be proven wrong. I just and all of the metrics when you look at any of the metrics, Indiana is one of the
worst teams, the big tent. So yes, Nebraska is not good either, but They are similar that they're just they're more of a better team. I don't know. So I hope you're right and I'm going to put my money. So what's my bed? And I bet Indiana to cover or Indiana moneyline in the end of the cover. Okay. All right. That's the bet folks because you're too rude, kill me for the for the first. Yes, I'm going to do it for the
first time this year. Like when I was looking at my vet's, I was, I was gonna bet Nebraska to cover that line and so I can't bet and Lily I can't bet both sides but so you're ruining your making me not be able to do one of my bets but I will bet Indiana plus five and a half and I will that's the way I'm going to be rooting. But anybody who's listening to this podcast? No, I am not going to be putting money on Nebraska, the against Indiana. It's just not going to happen. All right.
Let's go to our friends out. West. Oh, Hawaii is not the race week. Are they? The Rainbows are off this week but I have, yeah, bonus games for you here. That's good. I like, I like UTSA. That's the University of Texas at San Antonio versus Middle Tennessee, State University, 62 and a half over, take the over folks, as we had a lot of points scored in that game. I think between those two teams last week they put up like almost 90 points.
So Should be a shootout. And then I also like the Duke Blue Devils cover create a half at home against Virginia. This is why you're a pro man. You come in, you know, that the Rainbow Warriors are off. You come with other teams and other people to bet. I love it. Here we go. We gotta have some other action out there. Yeah, this is Duke when I particularly like they played, kids is Pretty Tough last week
and then I don't know. Virginia is very good and Dukes at home, giving up less than a field goal. I really like that. So in the listen to James category, which are going to start calling this now, future betting, the only line that seems to be available on future, bedding out there is on DraftKings for next week. I'm just going to look at the Big Ten. I think this is one. You want to jump on folks, Ohio State at Michigan State. Ohio State is only thirteen and
a half Point favorite? Yeah, folks, you might want to jump on that. I mean, I don't see any. I don't, I don't see Michigan State, be able to cover 13 and a half points, even at home against Ohio State, I'm not sure anybody can cover against the eye. I'm going to guess by kick that will be close to the first quarter line. Yeah. Or at least the first half line. Yeah, so get in on that again. Listen, James got me into too early week bedding. I love it. So DraftKings seems to be the
ones to offer right now. Now, sometimes though you can think you're really smart shit with your early week, betting and then get bit in the ass. So that's happened to me before. Isn't that just better? It doesn't really need to be like early week betting. That's just betting in general, right? True true. True. I had a great line on the Chiefs that I jumped at it and It was that was a tough one for me because I'm a huge, huge Colts fan and and they won.
I was just like, in shock. Like, oh my God, I can't believe they want to like, yeah, shit. I just thought it's a hundred fucking down. By the way, last thing I will say, I think, what? A here we go. Ghost of a ghost, long friend of the pod. We're back and had a couple to couple tweets out to me that, you know, I had said early on that. A five dollar bet on penix, would be fun for Heisman. I think he was like 10,000 to one or something.
And I agree with myself that I was really smart at that time. I bet it last year, beginning of the year, I stand by it. It would have. It would have been the way to bet the Hoosiers. This year. I should have jumped on it when I said it but I did buy it right after I saw that tweet from. Ghost of a ghost. So at goes to the G on Twitter. Thank you for reminding me. So, let me look at my upcoming Beth's. I've gotta remember what I got it.
I think I got it at Thousand to one, so I put $5 down, panics wins, get 500 back, not a bad little bit, I would say if you, anybody else wants to get it you know right now would probably be the time to get. If he has one or two more, good games. He's probably not going to win the Heisman but it's a fun way to play around with it. Yeah have fun with it. That's what I say. Yeah, we also James. What are you doing it for? Right? Exactly.
When it stops being fun folks maybe it's time to take a break for a few days. Yeah yeah it's fair to say it's a good point. As we talk about it here on Crimson cash, we're here to have fun, never bet more than you. You can afford to lose and just have a good time with it. And if you're getting too into it, it's time to take a break, but, yeah, just if you're cool that just throw five bucks on panics, to win the Heisman and what will keep it up with it
throughout the year. All right, James. Thanks again for joining us on Crimson cash again. You can follow James on Twitter at Crimson cast. 260 follow me, Crimson cast, 317, and thank you guys all for listening to you back this weekend with gaalan to talk about the Nebraska game. Actually, don't know where it's going to go. I like I said I was gonna bet Nebraska to cover that five and a half but my money's on the Hoosiers.
Now and we shall see it's going to be it's going to be interesting but I feel like we say that every week. Anyway we'll catch up with you after the game until next time. This is Scott for Crimson cast signing off post times God I can't believe they want to like yeah shit. I just thought it's a hundred fucking doll.
