What’s up everybody and welcome to the early Edge it is Wednesday not Tuesday I know we’re programmed a little differently today because I thought Tuesday was Monday here we are in the middle of the week we got a lot of bowl games we’ve got a lot of NBA games we’ve

Got a lot to talk about I see all of you in the chat already putting picks in the chat which I absolutely love I’m going to address some of those picks in just a second let’s address how we did yesterday before we bring in the stars

Of the show uh a few more well I should say a few x’s and two green check marks one thing to point out here buckets hit his play but he also had two live plays that he put out on the show yesterday many of you in the chat already know

Both of those hits uh I actually see buckets in the chat as well so I’m sure he’s touting those picks as well scheduling note we’ve got a college football preview coming to you at 3 o’clock Eastern standard time today we’re going to cover basically the rest of the college football slate basically

Starting tomorrow forward we’re going to be covering all of those games including obviously the college football playoff games all right that’s enough on scheduling that’s enough on recap I hope you’re having a great Wednesday I’m having a great Wednesday in part because of the stars of the show we have an

Absolutely packed bunch here it’s a full house uh an embarrassment of riches and frankly I want to get right to it we’ve got Tim doy with the hammer and for the record Tim I I gotta go to you before we bring up the Marquee matchups did you

Know I mean you’re you’re so popular you’re on so many shows you might not be aware I’m pretty sure you’re undefeated on this show oh geez are you Hest I’m happy Martin has his uniform on is that a onesie I was because every time I’m on

The show it’s the same top does it like connect underneath Martin or is that just a shirt and you wear separate pants no there’s nothing underneath no pens there we have it all right uh we’ll get to we’ll get to Martin green in a little bit because I know he’s always

Active in the chat on Wednesday and of course he’s got some soccer picks to give out but let bring up the Mary matchups we’re going to go rapid fire in the NBA with Mikey B with Mike McClure and of course with Tim Doyle we’re going to start with the 76ers at the magic

Magic favored by two and a half here it’s a 228 and a half point total Mikey B I’m gonna start with you where are you add on this one yeah I’m gonna follow the magic here big news Joel embiid is out the 76ers are 0 and four without him

This season not only is he out but Nick Batum is out that he’s important for them when they have to go small so I’m going to follow the magic minus two and a half all right Mike mccla we got the magic minus two and a half uh this is

The second leg of a back-to-back I believe they played the Washington Wizards in Washington yesterday where are you at on this one yeah number of teams on the second out of back to back here uh as far as clicking on the 76ers I’m not going to do it I do think that

They can uh really make this a competitive game for three and a half quarters uh but really I think they lack a lot without having Joel and beid obviously we all kind of know that but where I think it changes most of game is

I think it changes the pace of play so I typically play a ton of NBA unders uh I lean to the over in this game have it at 231 I think that they play a lot faster uh and then of course you have the magic second night of a back toback uh a

Little more difficult to bring the defensive intensity gonna have the small ball lineup on the floor so I lean over more than anything very interesting Tim Dole what’s your take on this game yeah I mean I love the magic like if I could adopt him as a fourth child I would I

Already yes I already have three children seea and yes I drive a minivan with two sunroofs okay no you don’t yes I do I have tickets or land 40 to one to win the East now is that a waste of money probably because we all know Boston’s the best team but if porzingis

Gets hurt or Tatum or both I think they can beat anybody in the Eastern Conference I’m confident they’re gonna win a series so um that’s how high I am you want to know why because they have Paulo and they got FRS and they’re going to pump you up go magic here okay that’s

An old school Saturday Night Live reference which I think only 3% of the chat understood but it’s worth it right that was a great ref and by the way Tim I secretly idolize you and I’m coming out with it right now because you played college basketball in the Big East that

Alone you’re you’re a handsome man you’re stylish with your shirt I love the the black and white contrast there all those things but then you dro the minivan thing and now it’s all out the window it’s all out the minivan window it’s all out that minivan sunroof or

That other sunroof I got to be honest super disappointed and quite frankly I’m a little shocked so I just want to move on to the Raptors minus 6 and a half at the lowly Washington Wizards that’s my team yes I still claim them it’s a 239

And a half point total Mikey B I’m going right back to you where are we at on this one are we taking the favorite road team Raptors minus six and half I have a third row extended SUV with only one sunroof for my two children so Tim’s got

Me beat with the minivan uh I’m going to fade the Raptors here they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games it’s a good spot for them uh they are playing the wizards but the Wizards have been pretty competitive at home uh Raptors just they just don’t seem to have it this year I

Think they’re going to be one of the teams that blows things up at the trade deadline an anobi as a free agent at the end of the season um so I’m going to go with the Wizards here at plus six and a half all right well Mike are you gonna

Take the Wizards uh plus six and a half and do you own a minivan uh I do not own a minian um you know I want to hear Tim talk about his cup holders that’s usually where we graduate to so hopefully that comes out in his next

Take uh now as far as this game here it’s one I want absolutely no part of I have it very close uh on both the spread and the total if you forced me to play something here SAA it would be a very gross under at 239 and a half uh I don’t

Think either team is obviously very good I do agree with Mikey B the Raptors kind of end up blowing things up um so I’m mostly off this game I don’t have a lot for it it’s one where I’m very close to the market with the model so no uh no

Play for me all right uh Tim what’s the play here if anything God McClure it’s like we hang out too much you know what I mean when you already know I was going to talk about my 36 cup holders and then I can host a fraternity party in my

Minivan okay but little known fact I also have a vacuum that hooks up in the trunk okay and then boom boom Barner I’m not going to those vacuum places I got my own vacuum indoors okay um Washington played yesterday I hate the Wizards I think the Wizards are actually worse

Than the Pistons now the record doesn’t prove that I’m going to bet this because I hate this game because here’s what the Wizards do you’re beating them by 15 and then they make all these shots in the fourth quarter last night Orlando was favored by seven and a half they were

Lucky to win by eight I’m just gonna bet Toronto here minus 260 in a money line throw it in a parlay that way it’s a fixed rate of whatever you bet in the parlay you’re not laying 260 we all know you don’t lay 260 in this game I think

The Wizards stink there’s no other way to say it they don’t guard they got bad leadership Jordan pulls your best player no one likes him uh so the Raptors you can’t lose this game so I’m not laying the points though give me money line Raptors yeah I have no comment on the uh

On the the Wizards uh stuff there uh but you know Maestro has some comments M Larry hartstein is in the chat he he says I’ve seen Mike’s apartment building in Downtown Nashville and I don’t think they allow mini bands in that garage H good to know not surprising at all if

You have questions for Maestro listen Martin Green’s in the chat it looks like buckets is in the chat and of course the Maestro is in the chat as well if I’m missing somebody we basically have the whole crew on the show and in the chat so ask away I’ve got the Bucks minus

Four and a half at the Nets this one’s at 740m Eastern Standard Time 240 and a half point total Mikey B what what do you like if anything in this one Bucks minus four and a half the Nets just played the Pistons on Tuesday they barely beat them they’ve won

Back-to-back games against the Pistons but they had lost five straight before then cam Thomas is becoming a trucker who is hindering the rest of their starting five the Bucks have won nine of their last 11 games seven of those victories were by at least nine points

Great spot here for the books all right uh Mike mccl do you agree oh is Mike on mute yes we were on mute the computer was frozen for a second Mac was playing frisbee uh as I was looking something up here uh but yeah Giannis is questionable in this

Game that’s the big news here uh this line to me indicates there’s a chance that he doesn’t play in this game I tend to think he probably still does but based off where the line is I know that the Nets are on the second night of a

Back toback at home um I’m staying off of it right now if I had to play something it would be the Bucks te total under uh the massive number at this spot all right before we get to you Tim uh some of some of the regulars really all

Of the regulars in the chat as well Mark buckles wiel Walker Chris Kish Ben Herer uh there was six seven stonefish he had a uh your welcome pick of the day which he he tends to put in here you guys are branding your own material in the chat

Which I absolutely love by the way hit the like button if you would if you haven’t already please hit the like button and Tim we go to you bucks minus four and a half what do you think I get the hammer out in this game okay I’m

Going to be hammering the Brooklyn Nets okay here’s why I once played basketball many many years ago before the minivan okay I was never though 25 in a millionaire like McLure so here’s what you got to visualize okay visualize being in New York City December 22nd as

A millionaire okay and you’re 25 and single and the 23rd and the 24th and the 25th and the 26th and the 27th that’s how long the Bucks have been in New York they have stayed at the plaza longer than Kevin McAllister in Home Alone too

Which is by far the best home alone okay by far it’s I’m close out loud okay this is too much time in New York you go down to the meat packing District me and C are at catch upstairs dancing upstairs New York doesn’t sleep okay and you

Leave Milwaukee El gonin for the good land no and now you’re in New York City for that long sorry six days too many days for professional athletes to be in New York I like the Nets money line I like the Nets plus the points plus everyone’s gonna be like well the Nets

Just barely beat the Pistons the Bucks have been in New York way too long Hammer play Nets okay I don’t hate that analysis I I actually love it quite a bit all right we’ll move on speaking of New York the Knicks are at the thunder

Thunder minus 2 and and a half this one starts at 810 Mikey B where we at on this one all right so we’re going to follow the Thunder here they’ve won four of their last five games on among those wins they beat the Nuggets the Clippers and the timber worlds that’s pretty

Impressive they’re 11 to five against the spread at home nine and3 against the spread as a home favorite now they have problems playing against teams with a lot of size they did lose to the Lakers the other day however the Knicks don’t have a lot of size Mitchel Robinson’s

Out Jericho Sims is out so I don’t think that’s going to be a problem so let’s go with the Thunder here all right Mike before we get to you uh real quick if you liked Home Alone one better than Home Alone 2 type in Home Alone one in

The chat and if you liked the reverse if you’re with Tim Doyle you say I’m with Tim or you say home alone too either one and I’ll know what you’re talking about I listen I I don’t think it’s a terrible call but I do think Home Alone one uh

Does prevail over Home Alone two maybe that’s just Nostalgia it’s been out longer it was the first one I don’t know but Mike mclo I don’t know if you have a take maybe you haven’t seen Home Alone one and two either way what I really want is whether you like the Thunder

Minus two and a half or maybe you like this total 239 and a half uh you know I will say Home Alone one was better but they’re both great films so I you know I I think that Tim’s take is certainly the unpopular take um but that’s okay he he

Went with the contrarian movie take certainly the contrarian play on the Nets it makes a lot of sense so here I’m going under in this game uh under 239 and a half you look at the Knicks we know they’re one of the slower teams in the NBA catching the thunder on the

Second night of a back toback but the one thing the Thunder do well is they actually defend they play very good defense uh both in a half court and in a transition setting that’s where I think they’re going to see this game slow just a little bit it’s a massive number we

Know scoring is way up in the NBA uh I have this thing down to 233 though which is still a healthy number for a New York Knicks game give me the under 239 and a half wow that seems like a pretty nice Edge there uh Tim Doyle Nicks or the

Thunder by the way a lot of the votes coming in Home Alone is winning but there are people chiming in on your side saying hey every everybody rewatch home alone too I saw Chris Kish type that so maybe maybe we need to rewatch home alone too and and really get settled on

On who’s the winner here but uh who’s the winner in this one yeah I mean cast was better in Home Alone too okay you had Rob Schneider you had uh the guy from um Halloween movie I’m throwing a blank anyway my bet here is OKC on the

Money line I would not lay points in this game I feel like this is a trap spread Thunder just beat Minnesota this is one of those games like I had to pick but I I don’t like it all and even if OKC gets up 10 I’d probably bet the

Knicks they try to catch a middle in this game one thing to notice about the Knicks 18 Road games after tonight to only 12 home games so they got six more home games coming their way which means right they’re probably gonna get some more wins here so tough game but I’ll

Take OKC on the money line I would not lay points here all right we’re gonna we got two more Marquee matchups left before we get into our Best Bets Mikey B I go to you with the Suns minus two and a half at the rocket 225 and a half is

The total this is one’s at 8:10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time where you at on this one I don’t really feel great about this game I’ll lean towards following the rockets at the minus two and a half but the big news for them is that Dylan Brooks left yesterday’s game against the

Pacers with an oblique strain you know we got a second night of a back-to-back hero Bleak injuries are not good in the first place so I highly doubt he’s going to play but the reason why I would lean towards them suns have lost five their last six their only win during that span

Came over the Wizards and the rockets are 11 three and one against the spread at home yeah apparently when you load up on Superstars and you have nothing behind it it doesn’t necessarily work out Mike McClure where we at on suns minus two and a half at the rockets on a back

Toback I’m looking at the Suns side here they need a win desperately uh things have been not going so well in this particular spot the Rockets a great young team but I do have question marks about them throughout the season uh when you lose Brooks potentially there second

Night of a back-to-back uh playing against a big Pace up team like the Pacers last night as well I think it does take a toll when you have a competitive game so I’ll take the Suns here to kind of break the little streak uh and cover the short

Number Tim do you like the Suns as well no I hate the Suns okay and by the way you’ve been betting against Phoenix last 11 games see you they have covered once they are one in 10 against the spread the last 11 games so a few things are

True about me okay one when I’m in New York I always get everything bagel or cream cheese that there’s no other choice two when I go to Gentleman’s Club my Alias is always Frank strawberry just a small it’s it’s just Daryl is one of my favorite players Frank’s my dad’s

Middle name and now it’s bet against the Suns just blindly whoever they’re playing seea I have followed this trend one in 10 last 11 roll Rockets all right roll Rockets Mike did you have something on that uh yeah just wanted to mention for the Suns it looks

Like Yousef nurkic is going to give it a go today He’s listed probable was out for some personal reasons uh I do believe he is back tonight uh which should help the Suns defensively as they have to try and deal with Shun or yic J all right that’s good information

Because yeah nkic was out at least the last game for sure um everything bagel with cream cheese very interesting I go I go onion Bagel or plain I’m just kind of a plain guy I guess plain bagel oh that is in New York oh see you boring

I’ll take the do you slow dance only I Don’t Dance period all right Mikey B let’s dance with the Cavaliers and the Mavericks Mavericks at home a three and a half Point favorite we’ve got a 230 and a half point total what’s your take on this game my take on this

Game is I want no part of this game at 10:18 a.m eastern time because Donovan Mitchell and Caris lever are questionable for the Cavaliers and Luca dones is questionable for the Mavericks the Mavericks also play Thursday in Minnesota so this is the first game of a

Back toback back could be a situation to sit him I can’t play anything on this game until I get some more information on Luca and Donovan Mitchell all right Mike McClure uh do you have a take on this game maybe it’s the total 230 and a half uh actually surprisingly not on the

Total but the reason for it is the same as Mikey B so we all know Luca donic actually matters to a spread in in NBA of course he does right one of the better players but where Luca has the biggest impact is actually on the total

Uh and the way that they play so I’m not touching it here if I had to play some think it would simply be taking the points with the Cavs uh I think that this team is good enough in the way Dallas plays even if Luca is in the Cavs

The pace in which they play with they are decent enough to have a competitive basketball game either way um and if we get good news on the injury report Luca sits because of the first night of a back-to-back um it’s they’re certainly going to end up favored in this game so

I if I had to play something here it would be the points with the Cavs all right uh Tim Doyle do you have a take on this one yeah I I I I like the Cavs plus the points I think they’re playing great basketball right now they’ won four or

Five uh Max stru got 60 plus million dollars shout out to his trainer Zack boser sat with him yesterday at York High School in Elmhurst Illinois uh great job by him because maxst went to Lewis division two transferred to depal uh Zach basically made him the player he

Is not sure if he shaves his beard though the way like stru does because stru it almost looks like he cares but he doesn’t care like he doesn’t care enough to shave but it’s perfectly lined up it’s the I don’t care but I care a lot look he had 26 points against the

Bulls that was ironically the first team that took them so yes you want to make sure Luca is playing I think it’s sad seea Luca in his cast of teammates he’s not gonna have what Larry had with Boston who had male and Parish or magic had Kareem or Lebron had dwade like he

Doesn’t have the right guy for his skill set right now and he’ll never win a championship until he does so unbelievable individual player but the Mavericks are not a real Championship contend it’s kind of sad in a way but yeah you should probably wait to find

Out if Luc is playing in this game yeah I completely agree with that take on the Dallas Mavericks uh all right well if you want to make some of these bets on these Marquee matchups where can you make them uh bet MGM that’s one spot bet

MGM has all the action for every sports fan new BET MGM customers can get can sign up today and get a first bet offer up to $1,500 if your first bet loses you will receive up to $1,500 in bonus Bets with code edge 1500 again that’s bonus

Code edge 1500 over at bmgm all right we got to bring Martin green back we got to get get into all of our Best Bets and we’ve got a lot of them the one thing we have to do before we do any of that is hear a message from our

Part there’s more than just Pride on the line it’s a top ofth table old firm Derby Celtic Rangers Saturday on CBS Sports Network We are back on the early Edge it’s time for some Martin green by the way the chat is on fire right now uh talking about threes like you you notice sequels can be good sometimes but like the third of something like Beverly Hill’s CP three was deplorable uh Home Alone three

Deplorable somebody mentioned in the chat Godfather 3 which I didn’t see by the way uh allegedly deplorable uh very interesting Rocky three though amazing yeah yeah I mean you know one of the better Rockies so yeah let’s let’s fight up for threes if you can if you can

Think of another three in a in a series a movie series uh that’s actually good uh definitely put that in the chat all right Martin green we’ve kept you silent off the pitch long enough you got a couple of plays for us today uh what you

Got I think Lethal Weapon 3 is pretty good I think that’s where Joe pesi comes into his own the Joe pesi theme that’s my that’s my little contribution but yeah back to my uh back to my soccer Heartland I am looking at Manchester City who are now now back from their

Club World Cup conquering appearance in the Middle East uh they’re taking on Everton Everton’s unbeaten run came to an end when they lost 2-1 to Tottenham on Saturday now face a really daunting game against Man City I think they could struggle in this one city are now eight points behind League leaders Liverpool

Orbe it with two games in hand I think they’re going to be really Keen to make up lost ground in the title race they have 11 wins and a draw from their last 12 games against Everton which is a very impressive record all but one of those

Games saw over 1.5 goals so putting them together man city to win and over 1.5 goals at minus 129 um I’m just looking ahead to the weekend as well I’ve got Nottingham Forest versus Manchester United both teams to score and over 2.5 goals at plus 100 I think this should be a really

Entertaining Clash it finished 3-2 to man united when these teams met earlier in the season just saw yesterday that United beat Aston Villa really good comeback there uh 3-2 and Forest are coming off an impressive 3-1 victory over Newcastle both of these teams are really dangerous on the Counterattack so

It should be another open entertaining game so yeah I like both teams to scoring over 2.5 goals there at plus 100 I saw the buckets has wolves versus brenford both teams to score today as well and yeah really like that one so I think I’ll back that one too all right

Both teams to score over 2.5 you say which equals at least three hopefully and by the way in the chat you’ve really come with it Oceans 13 that that’s pretty clever um Lethal Weapon three we we mentioned Die Hard three Rush Hour three and Return of the Jedi that it is

The third in that Series so uh police academy 3 uh not so sure I can’t remember Police Academy 3 all right let’s go to Mikey B but Mikey you got a little unlucky yesterday if we if we’re being honest especially about one regarding one of your props but you come

Back with two more props let’s hear about it yeah I was trash yesterday Fred Van vet was basically not shooting in the first half he missed by two points I certainly would have been on Clint capella if I known that the rebounding machine that is Andre Drummond was going

To start but today we’re going to come back with two winners so first we’re going to do Pascal sakam over 24 and a half points he’s only averaging 21.3 points per game for the season so this line might seem high he does have at least 25 points in five of his last nine

Games the reason why I’m taking the over is he’s playing the Wizards it’s a great matchup they play at the fastest Pace they have the worst defensive rating in the league they also don’t have a lot of size up front sakam is very aggressive against smaller teams when he played

Them earlier the season he had 39 points in that game he took 23 shots and 14 free throw attempts so I think he’ll be aggressive again and we’ll go over 24 and a half points and then I’m going to stay in that same game I’m going to go

To the other side I’m going to take tus Jones over 19 and a half points and assists is has taken him some time to adjust to being with the Wizards he’s playing alongside two high usage guys in Jordan p and Kyle kosma but he’s settled in nicely he’s got at least 20 combin

Points and assists in each of the last six games with the Wizards playing at such a fast place and him finally setting things in his new role I think he’ll go over 19 and a half points and assists and for my contribution to this movie thing this might not be a popular

Take I love all the awesome powers movies so we’ll take awesome powers with gold member which was the third installment of that series all right all right yeah baby getting some Applause I’m sure from the chat as well uh we got a lot of uh three

Takes there uh let’s uh let’s give two plays out right now though that are actually from SportsLine Sportsline site picks we’ve got North Carolina West Virginia that game I believe is at five o’clock Eastern standard time today we’ve got the under on the site 56 and a

Half this might have ticked down a point or two uh depending on what book you’re looking at but take the under 56 and a half if you can get it there and we’ve also got Oklahoma State minus too again we’ve got North Carolina West Virginia

Under 56 and a half uh don’t forget in that North Carolina game Drake may not playing in that game backup quarterback might be pretty decent though but they’re they’re likely to keep it on the ground so that certainly caters to the under a little bit and then Oklahoma

State again minus two those are two Sportsline site picks if you want to get all the Sportsline site picks it’s actually really easy go to sportsline.com and if you’re not already a member shame on you and again if you’re not that’s okay because you can

Anytime you want them big trade news overnight to discuss because we know you need Sports all the time a lot of movement in the rankings this week a legend adds to their legacy we’re bringing you that breaking news right here on HQ CBS Sports HQ anywhere

Anytime all the time okay we’re back and let’s get to uh my official play today coming off a nice win I’ve actually had a pretty good college bowl season so far I haven’t had a lot of picks but the picks I have had one we had UNLV over 26

And a half I told you you could take it at 27 and a half as well they murdered it they ended up scoring 36 point so that one came in pretty easily with about 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter there hopefully this one comes in easily too but maybe not as easy

Because it’s a lower scoring game I’m going Virginia Tech minus 10 we’ll have another play in this game coming from Mike McClure a little different take on this game but I’ve got Virginia Tech minus 10 at minus 105 this is one of those situations where Virginia Tech not

A super impressive team not a team that’s going to run up the score on you but if you look at their last eight games they’ve actually played really well they’ve won five out of the last eight which doesn’t sound super impressive impressive but their three losses are to Quality teams let’s see

They lost to FSU they lost to Louisville they lost to NC State they’re taking care of the teams that they are expected to beat and that’s what got them both eligible now the question becomes in a low total this is around 44 43 and a

Half can they win by more than 10 points and the answer is in my opinion yes and it’s partly because two lane their opponent doesn’t have their head coach doesn’t have their starting quarterback Michael Pratt doesn’t have their starting receiver I should say a couple starting receivers includ including

Chris Brazzle they don’t have some guys on the defensive line they don’t have some guys in the secondary and while Virginia Tech has some guys out too it’s far fewer than the number of guys in the number of important guys that Tain has on both sides of the ball so when I look

At how Virginia Tech closed the season and when I look at the head coach and some of the key players being gone for tlane this is one of those spots where motivation might be an issue with Virginia Tech largely intact and T Lane really kind of in disarray from some of

The key players being out I do think they slowly grind this game and grind two lane to a halt specifically on two Lane’s offensive side of the ball I think Virginia Tech rols in this one I think they cover this relatively easily even in a low scoring Affair all right

That’s my pick and by the way that is at two o’clock today so you’re gonna want to get that in relatively early Mike McClure you have a take on this game as well I mentioned the under a couple of times in my take and you have a play on

The under but it’s a a particular kind of under talk to us about it it is CA you know you hear lots of talk in the world about delay gratification not today we’re betting the first game of the day the first possible bet you could make here it is the first quarter under

10 onb MGM this number is available minus 120 over there you will find nine and a halfs around the market as well I like under 10 minus 120 and I like under n and a half plus 110 I do not like under n and a half at minus 115 that you

Can find so you got bmgm over here play it at under 10 minus 120 in the first quarter uh as as many of you know we love betting first quarter unders in general very friendly in college football this year with the rule change uh with the clock running still after

The first downs uh but what you mentioned CA uh to Lane they’ve been absolutely devastated by changes transfer portal coaching change all that op outs getting ready for the NFL draft not having Michael Pratt and head coach Willie Fritz massive deal then you remove the two productive wide receivers

You remove a tight end who was actually pretty good as well and then the fact that this game is played in Annapolis Maryland why is that important that is like a massive hub for Virginia Tech Alum this is essentially going to be a home game for Virginia Tech in a bowl

Game in which it’s going to be raining throughout the game I think there’s a lot working against Tain here I think they don’t have a lot of success early in this one so we’re essentially fading two touchdowns here you will have a push condition alive if you play this under

10 minus 120 I bet MGM if we’re talking touchdown field goal in the opening frame uh I do think tw’s offensive line is decent still which should allow them some success uh but I I think we keep the ball on the ground a little bit especially early uh so give me under 10

In the first quarter all right I absolutely love that play uh and I do agree uh with the low scoring especially on the two-lane side I see Tim Doyle with the sunglasses on he’s furiously typing into his phone uh he’s probably putting in Mike’s bet hopefully he’s

Putting in my bet too but Tim you’re undefeated here sir so I don’t mean to jinx you or maybe I do I’m not sure you’ll never know you’ve got two NBA picks you’re trying to go six and0 on the early Edge the floor is yours sir

Yeah I first of all barner’s Pascal seak bet thank you for that I took that great point I mean he shot the ball 20 times then get to the free throw line mean meanwhile he must have shot the ball like 35 times love that play I love

McClure’s play because there’s a ray of sunlight right now that is hitting him in his Royals hat that that’s why I put the Sun last it was like Angels were speaking to me first quarter under toan Virginia T like it’s hitting him right there the sunlight is telling you who to

Play so I will play that as well I got a little parlay mixed up there two NBA games no embid for uh 76ers so we know how much I love the magic I know they’re on the second half of back toback but every game the 76ers have play without

Jo be so how many wins they have zero so give me Orlando on that spot in lastly you just joined the show you missed it the Milwaukee Bucks have been in New York City for six days that’s too long for professional athletes to be in the city that doesn’t sleep yes Giannis is

Getting his sleep because Giannis is Giannis and he goes hard in the skills challenge at the allstar game but the other players oh they’ve been out they’ve been dancing there New York New York doesn’t sleep during the holidays it’s not like some sleepy Milwaukee city they’re in the busiest city in the world

And I bet you they have been partying like Eddie Murphy wasn’t Trading places when he got upgraded okay Hammer the Nets in this game and see you we stay undefeated I I’m picturing see we can’t see Tim Doyle’s desk I’m picturing there’s like literally somewhere between

30 and 50 props just laid out on his desk for these shows which by the way I appreciate the dedication because you seem to have a prop for every take for every situation absolutely love it and there was a comment Joey Blaze says Doyle got flavor yo and uh there’s

There’s no question well that kid doesn’t have flavor but the grown-up version of Tim Doyle definitely has flavor absolutely love it these Wednesdays are not just rapid fire but they are on fire for sure uh let me see there was a couple questions in the chat

Before we get out of here real quick Japan 5 who’s a a big-time loyal follower of this show I see Taylor deart in there um big cheesy’s in here I mean God everybody’s in here Jeff Sternberg is in here uh he’s hilarious but there was a question about my play uh the

Minus 10 like it’s minus 10 and a half on some books what I would say about that because it was minus 10 and a half at all books yesterday keep in mind this thing opened at 5 and a half it grew to 10 and a half because of all the opt

Outs 42 Lane I was actually waiting for it the reason I didn’t put this play in last night is because I thought some books would come down to 10 Well turns out most books did come down to 10 this morning I expect those 10 and a halfs

That have been lagging behind I expect them to drop to 10 before kickoff so I think you could actually be patient and wait to wait for that 10 to show up because I do think the difference between 10 and 10 and a half in this one is important enough to stay patient and

Just go ahead and try to wait for the better number I don’t think it grows to 11 and even if it does the difference between 10 and a half 11 not super extreme so I would try to wait for the 10 there so hopefully that answers your

Question Japan five and anybody else who has that all right ladies and gentlemen I think that just about does it h little little golf clap from Tim Doyle uh what a show I mean this thing was absolutely packed uh with picks the chat you guys have been unbelievable hopefully you hit
