10:00
I got you there.
10:01
Um, you know, the L- you know, I looked at this game initially when it was just 14 and 14 and a half.
10:06
I liked LSU in that spot, too.
10:09
Uh, coming off a loss, overtime loss at Kentucky.
10:13
Um, two losses on the season.
10:15
They could ill afford another loss.
10:18
You can't depend on trying to get into the college football playoffs as a three-loss team.

6 MINS LATER

16:19
Mm-hmm.
20:12
What are we doing with this game?
20:13
Yeah, low total for a reason, but I'm gonna look at the side here.
20:17
Jacksonville State right now a three-point favorite.
20:20
Look, um, the Jaguars are three and two versus FBS teams this year, but they're minus 2.6 points per game and just plus 18.2 yards per game, uh, in those five contests against FBS opponents.
20:36
Uh, they did come out on top three to five, but a little bit of a warning sign there, especially when you're facing an FIU team that I think is a bit underrated and undervalued when it comes to Conference USA.
20:50
Within that conference, I wanna be specific there.
20:53
Uh, they're two and two versus FBS opponents this year, but they're plus four points per game and plus 123.3 yards per game.
22:19
Oof
25:31
They might, are they related? Both from Ohio
25:33
... college football.
25:33
[laughs] Sorry about that, Brian.
25:36
Uh, Brad Power does his newsletter, that's why I got confused, and we had...
25:40
That got posted on our Slack channel today.
25:42
But anyway, um, yeah, we s- we cover some featured match-ups, and we give a, a, a free pick out, uh, at the end of the show for each one of us.
25:52
And we also do a Tuesday early edition that's done pretty well, Kelly, in terms of viewership.
29:16
You went back and forth and said, "You know what? Ultimately, I'm gonna pass."
19:19
What are you thinking about this game?
19:21
Let me preface this by saying this isn't part of my premium card.
19:25
Uh, I'm not using this game tonight, but since I'm assigned a game, I'm gonna give it my best shot and do, do the same handicapping homework I do ordinarily.
19:35
Uh, Troy is 3-0 to the under this year against FBS opponents, uh, and those games average just a combined 40 points per game.
19:45
The Troy offense in those three games against FBS opponents, uh, averaging just 17 points and, uh, one point per 20.8 yards gain, which is a terrible ratio.
19:57
They're averaging 17 points per game, I should specify.
20:01
Uh, Troy coming off that 21-10 loss at Utah State last week, and, uh, since the start of last year they played 6-0 to the under when coming off a loss.
22:32
It's basically a pick 'em with the over/under 54.5. What do you make of this game?
