has not started we're just getting ready to fire it up here in a few minutes so we'll let you know tomorrow how that went in the meantime we're going to take a look at college football Friday a lot of big spreads and kind of kind of jerky game so I've got something that I'm G to try and I think we'll uh perhaps have some success with that um you know people I find out you're a handicapper you know the big question is like give me one sure bet give me the one bet you'd have to make and you know uh that's a no- win situation uh but I'll tell you what if I was down to my last you know 200 bucks or whatever I and I had to make some money uh this is the kind of play that I would make and we're going to look at a money align parlay here today uh with with our four big favorites well and actually it's four of the six big favorites the other the two big favorites uh they don't have a money line posted that's how big of a favorite they are so we're going to take a look at uh uh let's see we'll start off with Michigan State and uh hang on a second here as you can tell I'm using my new my new teleprompter app so let's put the let's do this let's put the parlay up first and then we'll talk about it so we got Michigan State Duke Wisconsin at TCU 14 parlay minus 162 all right so let's start off with FAU in Michigan State Line minus 610 13 and a half is the number Michigan State hasn't La lost to a non- power five teams since Central Michigan in 2009 when Antonio Brown Brian Anderson both had big days and the chips scored nine points in the last 32 seconds to win that game FAU well they were last in time of possession last year and they lost their top three quarterbacks in the portal that likely isn't going to help uh Duke minus 4,000 minus 23 and a half Duke has a new coach a new quarterback and a ton of new players and Elon has never beaten an FPS team in their history the closest was an 11-point loss to Vandy in 2022 Western michig Wisconsin Michigan minus 25 under 23 and a half Luke fickle brought in Tyler van djk from Miami to take over an offense it's returning a bunch of starters offensive line should be very strong uh the Western Michigan Broncos they're a long way from that Sky more team than handed Kenny pick it and pit one of their two losses back in 2021 and finally the game we'll probably have to worry the most about TCU three minus 330 minus 9 and a half at Stanford DCU quarterback Josh Hoover was a revelation at the end of last season throwing for at least 300 yards in five of his last six games and including 439 against a pretty good BYU defense they are loaded at the skill position cam cook is back explosive running back in the wide receiver room is fantastic with Savon Williams Dylan Wright uh John Paul Richardson Jack Beck and Eric mallister I think there's going to be an opportunity to put up points in bunches against this Stanford car Cardinal defense ranked 133rd in EPA per play and success rate giv up 37.7 points per game so that's it yeah that's what we're looking at here guys uh it's it's the dreaded four team money line parlay like I said I think the only game that we're going to have to sweat even a little bit is that Stanford game and if you looked at that Stanford team last year they were Dreadful they have they got better this year you know probably because it'd be really hard to get a lot worse but other than that what was that comeback against was that Colorado where they rallied there other than that it was a pretty disappointing season all the way around for the Cardinal um I think this is a TCU team that just has too many horses on offense they may not cover the nine and a half and that's why I I didn't want to mess with any of these spreads but I think we put together a nice little package here so give me the uh give me that four team parlay if you would with Michigan State Duke Wisconsin and TCU minus 162 and at the end of those four games you guys can join me as we pick up our winning tickets and head back to the window all right guys as always thanks very much for watching appreciate each and every one of you everybody have a great Friday let's turn it into a great weekend we'll start off big here tonight and just roll right into Saturday all right everybody take care and we'll see you again next time
