00:00Heather with a one-game lead because she had the Bills.
00:04We've already picked that game.
00:05Greg, take us through it.
00:07Saturday, college football.
00:09We are going to start with the game of the day
00:12and maybe an inflection point game in the college football playoff.
00:16LSU travels to Ole Miss.
00:17LSU favored by two and a half points.
00:19Jim, how about the gamesmanship?
00:21Sam Levitt's doubtful, now questionable.
00:24He's going to play.
00:25This environment is going to be incredible.
00:27I think LSU's the better team.
00:29Give me the Tigers.
00:30I really don't want to pick Lane Kiffin,
00:33but I'm trying to remove my emotions from the picks,
00:37and so I as well am going to take LSU.
00:40Is there somebody that cannot take advantage of every single rule
00:43and make a mockery of everything?
00:44It's Lane Kiffin.
00:45I can't believe I'm picking him, but I do think that Sam Levitt plays,
00:48and they go into Oxford and get a win.
00:51In the battle of good versus evil.
00:54Evil wins.
00:55Because good is dumb.
00:56Oh, I'm also going to choose LSU.
01:01They're ranked like seven.
01:02You have no moral standard, just like me.
01:04No, I just picked.
01:04I just picked.
01:05Exactly.
01:07Magnolia Bowl won by Lane Kiffin last year at Ole Miss.
01:12Nothing in college sports quite rivals the revenge game.
01:16Give me the Rebs.
01:17Well, Greg's going to be on Rebel Island,
01:19because I just think LSU's a superior team here.
01:23Ole Miss gave up 38 to Louisville.
01:25That's an ACC team.
01:26LSU absolutely trucked an ACC team.
01:29I know it's going to be a hostile environment,
01:30but I expect LSU to get out of there with at least a three-point win.
01:34To the big house.
01:36330.
01:37UTEP travels to Michigan.
01:40Michigan favored by a whopping 35.5 points.
01:43John.
01:45I just don't see this offense really against anybody
01:48being able to score that many points,
01:50and it looks like it's going to be a soggy, wet day.
01:56There's going to be a lot of slippery balls,
01:57so I think that it's going to be.
02:00I'm going to take UTEP.
02:01Obviously, I'm going to take Michigan to win,
02:02but UTEP to cover the 35.5.
02:06I didn't even know who UTEP was until just about 10 seconds ago.
02:09Oh, you didn't know Paydirt Pete?
02:11No.
02:12I didn't even know who they were.
02:13Oh, Paydirt Pete's going to be in the house.
02:15They have a new logo that does look awesome.
02:17Yeah, yeah.
02:18It's a great mascot.
02:19It sounds like they're really bad because of this massive spread,
02:23so I'm just going to choose Michigan.
02:25I appreciate that.
02:27This spread sounds so ridiculous,
02:30given what we've seen from Michigan's offense the first two weeks,
02:33that I'm just going to lean into it.
02:35I'm going to take the Wolverines.
02:37You know what?
02:38I've been debating this back and forth,
02:39and I kind of am starting to side with what Greg just said.
02:42It seems so absurd for Michigan to score that many points in a game,
02:47and the weather will be a factor in this game.
02:50It's supposed to be almost like a rainstorm on Saturday in the Midwest.
02:54I just, they haven't been able to run the ball.
02:57It makes no sense why this spread would be where it is.
02:59That's why I'm going to take Michigan.
03:01Am I on UTEP Island?
03:03Minor Island.
03:05You what?
03:07UTEP.
03:07Give me the minors.
03:10It's so weird.
03:11Hey, people got indicted for Minor Island.
03:14Michigan State travels to Notre Dame.
03:17The Irish favored by 29 and a half points, Heather.
03:21Go green?
03:23I think they can cover the spread.
03:24I don't know if they're going to win.
03:25Well, it depends on the uniform that Notre Dame wears.
03:27Go green, go white.
03:27Let's go Michigan State.
03:29Okay.
03:29Yeah, I think the books are traditionally late to Michigan State when they are improved.
03:36So I'm going to bank on Michigan State being improved and take the Spartans plus 29 and a half.
03:43Yeah, this is Pat Fitzgerald's first big test.
03:45Ton of points.
03:46And again, a rainstorm.
03:47It's in fact, this game might get delayed.
03:50They're talking about thunderstorms in South Bend at that time of night.
03:53It just seems absurd.
03:55And I think Pat Fitzgerald will have the guys playing hard.
03:57Notre Dame will win this game easily, but not by 29 and a half.
04:01Gross, grimy Spartan football.
04:03That's a lot of points.
04:05Maybe a delay, a little stop and start.
04:07The rain.
04:08Notre Dame has not run the ball well through two games.
04:11And if CJ Carr, the big advantage they have is taken away in part because of the weather.
04:15I like the Spartans.
04:19Yeah, as much as I don't want to do this.
04:21I mean, it's kind of a lose-lose.
04:22Do you take the Golden Domers or do you take the Spartans?
04:26I'll take Sparty.
04:28Please put gruff Sparty on there.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah, I think you're right, John.
04:32It's a good pick.
04:33Make a good point.
04:36Sleeper?
04:37Ah, the sleeper pick brought to you by Gardner White.
04:40Find your perfect sleep partner at Gardner White.
04:42And this one, it's getting a little bit tougher to pick the sleeper pick because up 2-0.
04:46I got to stay on that ride.
04:48I'm going to take a Big Ten game.
04:50I'm going to take somebody that maybe you're a little familiar with.
04:53Aiden Childs.
04:55Colorado is making a trip up to Evanston.
04:59Northwestern has only played one game.
05:01Aiden Childs against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits was 14-24.
05:07He's kind of what he was in East Lansing.
05:09And nobody's been able to fix him.
05:10I am going to take Colorado to cover the 4.5.
05:15They play Georgia Tech famously with the black field goal to win.
05:18They've got a lot of juice behind them.
05:22And obviously, hey, when your coach has 10 toes, let's go.
05:26Dion, back in the game.
05:28How good is he going to be now with 10 toes back?
05:30That's right.
05:31To the National Football League.
05:33Bengals 1-0 travel to the 0-1 Texans.
05:37Texans are favored by 2.5 points.
05:39Up, down, theory.
05:40Texans need to win.
05:41Give me Houston.
05:43Gov.
05:45Oh, boy, here.
05:47Texan Tom took a hit last week.
05:49I don't know what's up with that defense.
05:50I'll let you see that offense last week.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Or last night with the Bills, and you maybe understand why.
05:56This is a classic up, down, though, for the NFL.
05:58And the Texans' D, really matchup-wise in this game,
06:01can make the Bengals extremely one-dimensional.
06:04I'm going to take the Texans.
06:07Yeehaw.
06:08Give me Texans.
06:09Yeah, I'm going with the Texans as well.
06:11Bengals, Joe Burrow, tight back.
06:13He's going to play, but I think this is classic.
06:15Hey, this is a pissed-off defense.
06:18And they're going to respond.
06:20I also am taking the Texans.
06:23Just Beyonce was born in Houston.
06:25Oh, is this a sweep?
06:25Oh, Beyonce?
06:26Yeah.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Oh, okay.
06:30What better reason do you need?
06:31Yeah.
06:31Another sweep.
06:32Texans all across the board.
06:34Girls.
06:36NFC North's battle.
06:38Vikings take on the Bears.
06:39Bears are favored by five and a half.
06:44Tom.
06:45All right.
06:45So, I just think this is way too many points for a divisional game.
06:49The Bears could be scary, and maybe they've taken a tremendous step here.
06:54I need to see another week of it.
06:55I'll take the Vikings in the points.
06:57Ben Johnson, backdoor open.
06:58I like the Vikings.
07:01I think I'm going to take the Vikings as well, and it's the fact that I think Brian Flores
07:05is one of the best defensive coordinators and defensive play callers.
07:09He'll find a way to limit what the Bears are doing, so I'm going to take the Vikings.
07:13I'm going to take the Bears, only because we've been talking a lot about Brooks' birthday,
07:18and he just told me he wants a bear cake.
07:21Oh.
07:22Yeah.
07:22Right.
07:23I love that kid.
07:24I love the kid.
07:25Bears are my favorite animal.
07:27All right.
07:28Devil's number, five and a half points.
07:30I'm going to take the Vikings.
07:33Brooks is on Bear Island, not Heather.
07:36Finally, Sunday Night Football, Colts at the Chiefs.
07:39Chiefs are favored by six and a half.
07:42Jim Costa.
07:42My Super Bowl pick.
07:44Kansas City looked very good in week one.
07:46Keep feeding K-9, and I think Mahomes' game under his belt will play better.
07:50I like Kansas City.
07:51I like Kansas City as well.
07:52I like them at home, and I do think Mahomes' slow start.
07:55Hart finally got a rhythm going in the passing game.
07:57We saw what he could do with his feet.
07:59And the Colts, like, is there maybe a worse trade than, I think, one that we all would
08:04have done with Sauce Gardner?
08:06But what's he done since he's been in Indianapolis?
08:09Absolutely nothing.
08:10I'm going to take the chefs.
08:13Well, I like the Chiefs, too, but just for the fun of it, I think I'll take the Colts.
08:17Oh.
08:18I think the Chiefs will win, but.
08:19Danny Dimes.
08:21Is that right?
08:22Yeah.
08:23That's their quarterback.
08:23Well, there you go.
08:24I don't know if these things jump.
08:27I'm trying to give you some info.
08:28Reminder.
08:28Danny Dimes.
08:29Reminder, she's winning.
08:30Yeah, I know.
08:31Yes, but it sounds like she changed her pick last second.
08:34That's never a good sign.
08:36I didn't.
08:36I always was going to pick the Colts.
08:38Oh, good.
08:38Yeah.
08:39I'm also picking the Colts.
08:40Lorenz loves horses, so.
08:42There you go.
08:43Well, Greg, I'm sorry that changing your pick last second is a good sign, because I changed
08:46my Michigan pick earlier last second.
08:49You're welcome for the loss.
08:50I will say this.
08:52I think the Andy Reid September Chiefs are back, known for always starting strong, and
08:58I think the Colts might have the worst defense in the NFL.
09:02They might have the worst.
09:04Look, they put their GM and coach on notice before the season ownership did, and they might
09:10not make it to October.
09:11Give me the Chiefs.
09:13Those are the picks.
09:14Back to Lions Talk 97-1.
09:16Take care.
09:17Bye.
09:17Bye.
