Happy Thursday, guys. What's up? Welcome into another episode of the daily juice podcast with me, Matt Perolt at sports talk, Matt, my handle across all socials and this podcast being brought to you by Omaha steaks.com and the semi annual sale going on right now.

I'm going to go to Omaha steaks.com, use that code juice 50% off site wide at Omaha steaks.com. Great stuff that got going on right now. Go check out all the unbelievable packages and deals and everything else you got going on at Omaha steaks.com. Okay.

So this is going to be a little bit of a longer podcast. I got a bunch of picks in place. I want to give you guys. It's a Thursday. So we went light yesterday went light kind of the day before, although three vets yesterday one into yesterday.

So we were down 1.1 units. So a winning day losing start losing day winning day losing day. So that would be Thursday. Hopefully that means we're going to have a winning day here today. But I've got a college football bet for Saturday. I want to give you now because I think the number is going to move and I'm concerned about that.

I've got a bet on the NFL game tonight. I've got two prop bets. I've got a bet on the college games tonight. And I've got a I can't leave a half a unit behind baseball bet small half unit play on baseball just to round it out and keep it all, you know, somewhat even with our plays coming in here for how many units we're going to have in play here today.

We'll have just a little over three like 3.3 or something that units in play and then a bet on Saturday as well our first play for Saturday that I want to give you guys here right now.

There's been a bunch of questions before I give you the picks has been a bunch of questions about the leaderboard for splash ports. I can't see it because I am in a state that that splash ports is not legal.

So one of you has been very nice and they've been sending me DMs every week of the leaderboard. So I'm seeing what they're seeing. I know some of you guys are not just check and see if there's a setting or there's a button to put to push to get all the leaders.

I believe the leaders have I think there's seven or so of you guys who have gone 10 and 2. No, sorry 12 and 2 so far in the 14 games. So I'll do my best to kind of get some research done on that as to what's going on or what I need to tell you guys but poke around on the site.

If you're involved in the contest poke around as we go into week three here starting tonight for the NFL for the NFL did you pick contest with splash sports and betting pros. All right.

Let's talk about the Irish hosting Ohio State. Now in the preseason I told you about Alabama and I told you how I believe that Alabama had a quarterback problem and I thought that Jalen Milro is going to be a problem and he has been now the backups aren't any good.

Alabama is going to have their hands full with Ole Miss coming up this weekend. I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to bet yet on that game if I'm taking the over which is a possibility I'm taking the dog which is a possibility on this.

Maybe even outright Ole Miss will see but I've been right with Alabama the other couple of quarterbacks or a bunch of them but one of which was what's going on with Ohio state.

And I just do not think Ohio state much like Alabama and look it's hard to sit there and go you're supposed to just replace a quarterback like CJ Stroud you just don't now Alabama's had a crazy run right going from you know guys with two and Mac Jones and look at the starting quarterbacks you know Jalen Hertz that played in succession at Alabama it was supposed to be Drake May at Alabama that's the guy that was supposed to be the next in line to keep this train rolling.

He stayed home at North Carolina and thus here we are with Alabama stock right now without a quarterback Ohio states in a little bit of a different spot but not really because the offense hasn't look great the only road game so far for Ohio state was at Indiana they were laying 30 they won by 20.

I just look at this Ohio state offense and I love Marvin Harrison junior okay this guy is a sure fire unbelievable player on the next level he's going to be awesome.

But there's something just not right with this offense they don't run the ball the way you're used to seeing Ohio state run the football they don't throw the ball as well as they could now Calma court is coming around and maybe you go Matt this is the breakout game for Calma court but at Notre Dame I don't know I I think this is a lot to ask of Ohio state and I think Notre Dame this is exactly what they've been waiting for they look great last week they didn't need to again central Michigan

this was a complete overlooked they're staring at Ohio state they know who is coming to South Bend but through three games I mean trade on Henderson's good running back but he's got I don't 191 yards four touchdowns that's fine 6.4 yards per average carries pretty good but it's not like he's popping something like when you watch Ohio state you're like dang they can run the ball on anyone the Irish what do the Irish do they play defense.

I mean that's what they do this is a night game in South Bend and I just think this Irish offense with Sam Hartman is so different than what we have seen Sam Hartman's thrown for over a thousand yards already they've run the ball pretty well I mean they've got three two really but three decent running backs they can roll with in the offensive line for the Irish can mall people

the receiving core is good enough I'm not saying it's outstanding but it's good enough when you have a quarterback like Sam Hartman he's going to spread the football around I mean he's completing 71% of his passes I mean I don't want this to go you get three and a half I mean I'm totally jealous and it's a great bet at plus three and a half but the numbers been coming down

and I don't want this to go below three and I think it's going to go below three I think the pros are just sitting and waiting for the limits to open up and I think they're coming in on the Irish I think this number is going to close lower I think this number could be two and a half or two I mean I just think there's going to be money coming in here on Notre Dame and I know you might go though that's just a rich alumni mat OK I mean everyone saying that Ohio state might be laying you know laying in the weeds look out for Ohio State this is when they announced their presence look Ryan days a very good coach

but I don't like the quarterback situation I don't like Cal record I I something don't like him I don't think he's as good as other quarterbacks we've seen for the for Ohio State in recent memory IE last year with CJ Stroud 23 points against Indiana 35 points against Youngstown State okay they held Western Kentucky down to 10 points okay their defense played well but I don't need the Irish there offense doesn't score all that much if they're if they're defense plays the way I think it's capable of playing this is not a high scoring game I'm not going to go into
