00:00But at least on this one, I don't give a damn about the spread.
00:04I need my Cougs to win, man.
00:05They're hosting 18th-ranked Oklahoma State, who's 4-1.
00:09They'll be at TDECU Stadium tomorrow night.
00:13You get that, people?
00:14If you ain't got your tickets, get them and get your ass in the seat.
00:176.30 kickoff.
00:19It's a Fox game.
00:20Never mind that, because you need to be there watching them.
00:22I know who's going to be at that game.
00:24Who?
00:25Tony!
00:26Oh, big baller.
00:28Viking Carpet 1 Flooring Outlet, if you need it, just go to the store and say,
00:33Tony!
00:33And he'll be like, go Cougs, bitch.
00:36Wow, wow, wow.
00:37I hope he has a good time tomorrow.
00:38I hope he gets to see 20th-ranked Houston beat the Cowboys' ass and climb up the ranks.
00:44Will that happen?
00:45Will fans be there to actually see it?
00:47Houston teams should always be teams called the Cowboys.
00:49They should.
00:50Since the pro team didn't do it, it is now on the college team to handle the biz.
00:54Somebody once told me that if a Houston team beats a team's moniker named the Cowboys,
00:58that all children get puppies.
01:00That is correct.
01:01Hopefully that happens.
01:03A surprise Oklahoma State team.
01:06They're 4-1.
01:07Hell, they lost 11 games last year, fellas.
01:09They haven't had a five-game win streak since 2023 season.
01:12It's a huge game for Houston that has already lost to Texas Tech.
01:17And mind you, yeah, it was a ranked team.
01:19But, dude, if the Cougs lose a second game this season, it all but crushes Willie Fritz's hopes for them
01:27being a CFP contender.
01:31And I don't think many of you out there actually believe in that.
01:34But the head coach does.
01:36I'm going Cougs.
01:37I think they're going to protect home.
01:39They are 4.5-point favorites.
01:41So, I will pick the Cougs straight up.
01:46But I do not think they cover the spread.
01:49I think they win by three.
01:51Bryson?
01:52What?
01:53Did we just become best friends?
01:54Yep.
01:55Woo-hoo!
01:56Let's go Cougs this weekend.
01:57Look, I know Oklahoma State is a very, very formidable opponent.
02:03This passing attack, led by Drew Mestemaker, leads the conference.
02:06So, it is no joke.
02:08But let's not sleep on the offense of the Houston Cougars either.
02:11They're right up there in terms of total yardage.
02:13They're amongst some of the most in the conference.
02:16But this team, their identity is a little different.
02:18They run the ball.
02:19They're fourth in the conference in terms of rushing yards.
02:22So, I expect this to be a complete shootout.
02:25The one defense that I have a little more confidence is, is the Houston Cougars.
02:29Because they have 12 sacks on the season.
02:31So, at least there's some sort of a presence.
02:33Some sort of resistance to an offense.
02:35When it comes to Oklahoma State's defense, absolutely zero defense.
02:40They can't stop a cold.
02:41So, for those reasons, give me the Cougs.
02:44Woo-woo!
02:44All right, I'll bet you wouldn't have talked so glowingly about the Cougs defense like three weeks ago.
02:49Because it looked pretty sketch, you know, less than a month ago.
02:53I wouldn't be happy with it at all.
02:55Giving up too many big plays, too many extended possessions.
02:59PC, who do you got?
03:00This is, I think this is going to be a tough game for you, H.
03:03Oklahoma State's pretty good.
03:04Mm-hmm.
03:06This is, though, like, it's your house.
03:11It's Saturday night.
03:13It's prime time.
03:15You know, this is all the lights.
03:20This is the Cougs' chance to kind of stamp themselves on the national stage here.
03:25If they want to be a team that's got a chance to get towards the number 12 ranking,
03:32you got to win games like this.
03:34Mm-hmm.
03:35So I'm going to take the Cougs.
03:36I'm even going to lay the four and a half.
03:39Ooh, Cougs and points.
03:40All right, let's go.
03:41All right, next up, another big college football game.
03:44In fact, it is the college game of the week
03:45and one of the most significant regular season matchups of the whole damn season, man.
03:49You got fourth-ranked Ohio State.
03:51They're five and one.
03:52On the road at fifth-ranked Indiana, who's undefeated Saturday morning.
03:57How do you like that?
03:59Another Fox game.
04:01By the way, Memorial Stadium, where the Hoosiers play,
04:03has never hosted a top-five clash before.
04:08That was pretty interesting.
04:10This is widely viewed as the biggest home game in Indiana football history.
04:13I would say so.
04:14Do you guys remember Indiana beating Ohio State 13-10 last December
04:18in the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis?
04:20That snapped a 30-game losing streak that they'd had to the Buckeyes.
04:26I think they're going to start a streak of their own.
04:28Make it not one, but two in a row.
04:31I'm going Indiana to protect their home.
04:35By the way, Ohio State's favored by three points.
04:38Don't give a damn taking Indiana.
04:39Who you got, Bryson?
04:40Not so fast, my friend.
04:42Oh, boy.
04:44I understand where you're coming from when you want to pick Indiana.
04:48This offensive line for the Buckeyes is a weakness.
04:50Meanwhile, the Indiana pass rush has a lot of sacks on the season.
04:55So that is the one weakness that Ohio State has against this Indiana offense.
04:59However, if you watched Indiana lately, they were held to only 65 rushing yards against Nebraska.
05:07When you look at their stats, it's a total different narrative between their out-of-conference competition
05:12and once they've finally met some people within the conference.
05:15Once that level of competition has stepped up, they've been a totally different team.
05:19Offensively, they can't generate anything.
05:21And if your offense struggles to keep up, I know that this Buckeye offense,
05:25they might be facing a good pass rush, but they're going to put up points eventually.
05:28So give me the Buckeyes in this one.
05:30Okay.
05:31All right.
05:31PC?
05:33I like the Hoosiers.
05:35And the reason I like the Hoosiers this year is the same reason I liked the Hoosiers last year.
05:41They are the more physical team.
05:44They are the more physical team at the point of attack.
05:47Ohio State's got to prove that they're not soft.
05:51They got exposed last year.
05:53They are not as physical as a team from Ohio State should be.
05:57And Indiana, I mean, almost incomprehensible, right?
06:01To think basketball school is going to be a real physical football team.
06:06But last year they established that they were.
06:09They were the most physical team in college football.
06:12This team is built very much the same way.
06:16I don't trust Ohio State to go to Indiana and win.
06:20So I got the Hoosiers and I'm taking those points.
06:23Let's go.
06:23Let's go.
06:24Got two Hoosiers into his house tonight, man.
06:27All right, another college football game.
06:29You got second-ranked Notre Dame undefeated.
06:32Ten-and-a-half-point favorites on the road at eighth-ranked BYU.
06:37They're 5-0.
06:38That's a Saturday night, 7.30 p.m. kick.
06:41ABC is where you can catch it.
06:43This is the only matchup of unbeaten teams this weekend.
06:46For Notre Dame, if they get this road win over a ranked, undefeated team, it obviously strengthens their case for
06:55a top-12 finish as an automatic berth being independent.
06:59And for BYU, if they can some way, somehow find a way to pull off an upset, it would be
07:05the resume builder of resume builders for the Big 12.
07:09Which, you know, look, they've struggled against big-time teams.
07:13It would catapult them into serious playoff contention.
07:16I don't think they are going to be catapulted to anything other than maybe the sun by Notre Dame.
07:23Ten-and-a-half-point favorites.
07:25I'm taking Notre Dame.
07:26I'm taking the points.
07:28Cute little start to your season, BYU.
07:30But your ass is about to, you know, go home.
07:33And you're going to have to cry yourself to sleep tomorrow night.
07:37So, I'm going Notre Dame.
07:39I'm right there with you.
07:40Give me the Fighting Irish out of South Bend, Indiana.
07:44This BYU offense is going to be without their star running back, LJ Martin.
07:48He was the conference player of the year last year.
07:51Last week, without him trying to run it by committee, I think they had only 68 rushing yards on 23
07:57carries, something along those lines.
07:58So, it's a complete loss of identity.
08:00It puts a ton of pressure offensively on Bear Bachmeier.
08:03I just think it's too much when Notre Dame can put you in long passing obvious situations and offensively.
08:10I'm a fan of CJ Carr.
08:11I really believe in him at quarterback.
08:13So, give me the Fighting Irish who have a plus 13 turnover margin on the season.
08:19Let's go.
08:19Let's go, PC.
08:21So, let me ask you guys a question here.
08:24What's your realistic feeling on BYU being the number eight team in the country without even playing a ranked opponent?
08:43Well, you know, they're not the only team that is highly ranked that hasn't played anybody.
08:47You know, you could make the same case for Indiana.
08:50You could make the same case for Notre Dame, you know, as well, to be honest with you.
08:56Like this, because BYU has the number eight next to their name, this is Notre Dame's biggest game in their
09:03favorite by ten and a half points on the road.
09:06So, this will be a little bit of a resume builder for the Irish as well.
09:12I think Notre Dame playing, like you played Wisconsin.
09:15Unranked.
09:16You played Michigan State.
09:18Unranked, but like those are legitimate teams who have had big time teams recently.
09:23No, that's fair.
09:24You've played a much improved North Carolina team this year on the road.
09:28I mean, I could make a similar case for Indiana, to be honest with you, because they just played a
09:33Nebraska team that nobody gave any respect to, who was undefeated at the time.
09:39They beat them.
09:40It was close, but they beat them, right?
09:42You know, for BYU, they beat Arizona, they're not going to be good.
09:46TCU, hasn't been good in years.
09:48Iowa State, no offense.
09:52I feel like Notre Dame is just a different level than BYU.
09:56Also, screw the Mormons.
10:00I'm going to take Notre Dame, and I'm going to take Notre Dame to put a molly whopping on them.
10:06All right.
10:07Screw BYU.
10:08I like it.
10:08All right.
10:09I got the baseball game in here.
10:11I wasn't going to put the baseball game in if these teams didn't play tonight, most definitely.
10:16I was only going to talk about this one if Cleveland won, because I wanted to see what you guys
10:20thought of their chances to win a World Series, or at least go to the World Series this weekend, rather.
10:26The Rays and Guardians postpone tonight.
10:29Guardians lead the Series 2-1.
10:31It'll resume tomorrow if weather cooperates.
10:34Well, hell, we'll still pick the damn Series, okay?
10:37Whoever it is is going to end up losing to the Brewers anyway, right?
10:39Or, or, if the Guardians go to the World Series, like the Red Sox, they broke the curse of the
10:47Bambino in 2004.
10:48The Cubs broke the Billy Goat curse in 2016.
10:51Well, the Guardians win their first World Series since 1948.
10:57You got to pick Guardians or Rays to win this series.
11:03I'm picking the Guardians, because I like, I'm a fan of history.
11:06I'm a fan of the underdog, and the Guardians coming into the postseason against anybody outside of the Astros and
11:12White Sox, we're going to be an underdog.
11:14I'm going Guardians.
11:15Bryson, who you got?
11:15Give me the Guardians.
11:17All playoffs long, they've only allowed five runs, no more than five runs allowed in any game this postseason.
11:23And then they've, the offense has generated some, some runs against the White Sox in the last series.
11:28A couple times they put up nine runs.
11:30First game against Tampa, they put up seven.
11:31So I think that combination of what's going on on the mound and the offense, what they can generate, leans
11:37me towards the Guardians.
11:39All right, I like it.
11:40I got the Rays.
11:41I think the Rays' overall pitching and pitching depth is stronger.
11:45And I think for a series that I believe was going to go seven games from the beginning, that the
11:51Rays' depth in pitching will win out in the end.
11:57Okay.
11:57But I do think it's a seven-game series.
11:59I think it's a fight.
12:01And I do think whoever it is should be the underdog to the Milwaukee Brewers.
12:05I love it.
12:06I love that part of it anyway.
12:08NFL, we go.
12:09Cowboys, two and three on the season.
12:11They're on the road in Green Bay, taking on a Packers squad that will not feature Micah Parsons.
12:17So you can squash that little storyline.
12:20The Packers are three and two.
12:22Sunday night football, by the way, 8-20 kick NBC.
12:25This is the premier matchup, I think, this weekend in the NFL.
12:30Probably, if Micah Parsons would have been available, it would have been by far the easiest and biggest storyline to
12:37cover.
12:37But classic rivalry, Lambeau Field, two teams that have underperformed relative to their expectations.
12:45You could kind of say that about the Cowboys every year.
12:48But I'm interested in this one because both offenses obviously have a ton of explosive potential.
12:54Their recent matchups have been of the higher scoring variety.
13:00I've never been a Cowboy fan.
13:01I used to be a Packer fan.
13:03But I tell you what, this week I am a huge Packer fan.
13:06Go Pack, go.
13:08They need to beat the Cowboys' ass, and I think they will.
13:10I think this is going to be a flounder of a season, ultimately, for Dallas.
13:14So I got the Packers, fellas.
13:15Who you got, Bryson?
13:16I'm rolling with the Cowboys in this one.
13:19Look, I was really impressed with what Green Bay did, that beating that they put on Chicago last week.
13:25But I want to see it a little more.
13:27You know, you did it one time, but I need to see you do it again.
13:29Because in defense of Chicago last week, they were without Caleb Williams.
13:33They were, you know, Tyson Bajan just isn't that guy.
13:36And then there's just something about Ben Johnson poking the bear over there.
13:39He's always messing with Green Bay, so I think there's a lot of bulletin board material.
13:43I don't know what he was trying to do last week, going Keenum and Bajan, you know, the tandem.
13:48Yeah, I don't like that at all.
13:49I would have kept rolling with Keenum.
13:51But in terms of this game, I know Dallas' offense is going to show up.
13:55I don't know what team took the field at home last Thursday night when they lost to the Bucs,
14:00who started Jalen Williams, or Jalen Daniels, excuse me.
14:02I don't know what team that was.
14:04But I'm going to assume that we're going to have a much improved defense,
14:09at least a little bit better than worse than the league.
14:11So give me the Dallas Cowboys.
14:13All right, PC.
14:15I got the Cowboys in this game, and this is why.
14:18I think these are two teams that are both inconsistent.
14:21And inconsistent teams seem to follow good wins with bad losses.
14:32The Cowboys followed a really impressive victory over the Houston Texans
14:37by doing poopies down their pants against the Bucs.
14:41The Packers just knocked the snot out of the Chicago Bears,
14:45who didn't have their quarterback, which means, well,
14:50they're due to do the poopies down the pants.
14:51So I got the Cowboys in this game, a game that I think will be probably a close game.
14:59But I think ultimately the Cowboys will win this game
15:03because the Packers are due for a letdown after having their
15:09big division win over the Chicago Bears.
15:12All right, final pick on the six-pack.
15:14Texans, Jags, London, 8.30 a.m. Sunday.
15:19Texans 1-4, Jags 4-1.
15:21Jags trying to stay among the AFC's best, hell, maybe the NFL's best for that matter.
15:26And while the Texans are just trying to stay relevant, Texans upset,
15:30that would keep them mathematically alive.
15:33And you know what a loss would do that would effectively end their season
15:37from a historical standpoint, most undoubtedly.
15:41You got the Marvin Harrison Jr. debut.
15:44You got Daniil Hunter coming off of his best game of the season after D'Amico Ryans took
15:48over play-calling duties.
15:49Will Anderson is a freaking machine.
15:53You know, C.J. Stroud is playing, you know, the best ball of his NFL career,
15:57and he just got another freaking weapon.
15:59So let's bleep and go.
16:01Texans, that's how I'm feeling about this game.
16:03It's a gotta-have-it.
16:04You know, I know their plane was all jacked up getting to London.
16:08They had to switch and, you know, blah, blah, blah.
16:10You could talk about being tired.
16:12Whatever.
16:12I don't let that crap play into it at all.
16:14I think the Texans are going to a different country.
16:16I think they think it's cool.
16:17I think they're pumped up.
16:19I think some weird way right now, they kind of enjoy playing with their backs up against the wall.
16:26They like proving people wrong, and they've got to continue to do it again.
16:29I'm going Texans over the Jags, who, by the way, the Jags at home, away from home, favored by two
16:35and a half.
16:35I'll take Texans in the points.
16:36Who you got, Bryson?
16:37Gary!
16:40I'll be honest, that was a misdial right there.
16:43I was like, come on.
16:45No, I'm just playing around.
16:46The Jags?
16:47No, absolutely not.
16:48That was supposed to be a Texan swarm.
16:50I don't know what's going on on this board.
16:52Anyways, I'm actually big on the Texans this weekend.
16:55My favorite matchup for the Texans, our vaunted pass rush.
17:00We finally saw Daniil Hunter come to live.
17:02I believe it was 10 pressures against the Titans last week.
17:04We're getting back to taking the ball away from the opponents.
17:08A couple of those turnovers in the opponent's field position only led to field goals.
17:13That's my one worry.
17:14Can we improve on that?
17:15Can we stop settling for field goals when you get the ball on opponent territory?
17:18Can we convert those to touchdowns?
17:20I believe we're going to figure it out this week.
17:22I love our pass rush against the offensive line of the Jags, who are without starting
17:28left tackle Anton Harrison.
17:29So I just think that plays right into our hands.
17:32Give me a defensive-led victory in this one against the Jaguars.
17:35I like it, PC.
17:37I think this is a very much situation of the more desperate team being the one that shows
17:44up.
17:44A lot of these London games, for whatever reason, I don't know if it's the time differential
17:48or the difference in the quality of the field, because they play on the all-natural
17:52fields out there.
17:53I don't know what it is, but it seems like there's a lot of lower-scoring games every
17:57time we go to London.
17:58There's a lot of rain.
18:00I don't exactly know why the offenses seem to be low, but they do.
18:06And we're talking about a Texans team whose two defensive ends, maybe the best defensive
18:12end pairing in the entire league, seemed to find their stride last week.
18:17Now, again, the fake Oilers are a bad team, but you want to see your guys doing what they
18:22do best, and they did.
18:23You're getting your linebackers back.
18:25That's going to help.
18:26It's going to be tough for the Jags to find running room.
18:29The Texans have been incredibly stout, especially up the middle against the run with the defensive
18:35tackles and then the linebackers.
18:36So, if they're getting pressure, we saw this last year when the Texans got pressure, the
18:42opposing quarterbacks had the lowest combined QBR and quarterback rating in the league.
18:47When they get pressure, the other team's quarterback is in trouble.
18:51They need to get that pressure.
18:53They need to, again, like you said, Andre Ware said, they have to limit the turnovers.
18:57So far, they've done a great job of limiting turnovers.
19:01And this is a, you know, you should be the most desperate team.
19:06You know that even though you're 1-4, you still have a shot.
19:11You got a lot of division games left.
19:14These are the guys who are going to be in front of the division.
19:16You take a game from them early.
19:18You're 2-1 in the division.
19:20You might only be 2-4, but you're 2-1 in the division.
19:23Being 1-5 and 1-2 in the division, that's two walls you got to break through.
19:28You get a win here.
19:29It totally changes the outlook of the season.
19:33You're 2-4 against four teams you absolutely can beat coming up,
19:37going into the Ravens game the weekend after Thanksgiving.
19:41This game is so important.
19:43They've got to know it.
19:44They've got to play like it.
19:46And I think they will.
