This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome at Lake Higgins live.

It is Sunday night, May 16th, the overallura, 2021.

We're jam-packed, and I would argue, one of us not the more interactive shows that we've done.

It's an interactive show. We've been interacting throughout the day, so there's a lot of stuff tonight that basically I'm going to need your input on.

In fact, three out of the four segments are going to require your input right now during the live show.

If you're watching the replay in the comment section, whatever the case may be, at late kick Josh,

Twitter and Instagram, been talking to you all day, a multitude of different segments we're going to do tonight.

Incorporated stuff that I've gotten from you throughout the day.

It'll make more sense to you in just a second.

We are guessing point spreads tonight. We are projecting ahead. I told you at Pate State, we don't take federal grant money. And the right we don't have to take federal grant money is because we opened our own university sports book. It's right next to the cafeteria. It's kind of in the back, cash only operation right now, but we like to project ahead. We do our own numbers here, and this is real talk now. We do our own numbers, and so it helps sometimes when we do segments like this, don't have to wait on Vegas to put out a number. Now, what we do get to do is we're going to take all these big week one games tonight, and we're going to project what we actually believe those point spreads are going to be. I guarantee you we'll be very close, if not dead on, to the actual numbers that get put

out when they do get put out. But I want you to guess along too. And I've gotten some wildly

varying degrees of feedback from you today. You know what? We're about to get to it. So I'll just

save that for about two, three minutes from now. Most underrated teams in each conference

had a hard time. Thought it was going to be the easiest segment we were going torated teams in each conference had a hard time.

Thought it was going to be the easiest segment we were going to do all summer,

had a really hard time with this. We're about to talk about it. I still don't know if I'm really nailed down all the way on some of these teams. So I could be very easily swayed. I'm on the fence on a number of these. LSU's got a few things they need to do

In order to regain some national relevance this year

I don't know if you guys remember

It was only, oh, I don't know, of these. LSU's got a few things they need to do in order to regain some national relevance

this year. I don't know if you guys remember. It was only, oh, I don't know, 2019 when they won a title, but everything went into the woodchipper in 2020. So how do we pull it out? Or how do we forget about 2020? How do we get things back on track this year? Talking to the folks over at Go 24-7 today, there were a number of different good suggestions, but I got a couple of main ones I want to touch on tonight. Also, it is our late kick schedule draft Sunday night for the first half of the season. And what that basically means is this. Now, in real life, we do get to go cover games every week during the fall. Probably the one of the hardest thing, I live a

very easy life. So one of the hardest things I have to do is I have to decide which game are we going to each week. Well, there's no reason for me not to outsource that. Since it's your show anyway, I'm going to give you say so. So what we're going to do tonight is I'm going to show you the first six weeks and take through the methodology of how we pick which games we go to. It's not always just the biggest one,
