Football Picks Show on the Early Edge, presented by BenMGM, the sports book Born in Vegas.

I'm your host, Mackenzie Brooks, joined by Tom Casally, Emery Hunt, and Mike McClure.

We're going to take you guys

through week four. I can't believe we're already at week four here. Give you some of our best bets. Talk about the marquee matchups. Get to some underdog sprinkle value as well. Before we get into it, let's unpack a little bit of what we saw last weekend, get our feet wet here. One of the Bigger upsets we saw Texas A&M, shout out Mike for getting that dog right, against Notre Dame here.

Now, Notre Dame moves to O and 2 on the season. A lot of people want to say their playoff hopes are dead. I feel like we've seen this movie before. It was around this time last year. They lose to Northern Illinois. Then they actually go on to play Purdue, the same they are this weekend as well, which is actually interesting. But you can find them to miss the playoffs at minus 300 plus

230 to make it. I was the first one to sit here last year, Tom, and say there's no way they can

win out and do this thing. Do you think there is still value? Is there still hope alive for this

Irish team? Well, there's still hope if they win still hope alive for this Irish team?

Well, there's still hope if they win the rest of their games. I don't want to be the bearer bad news to people who don't like Notre Dame. But if they win the rest of their games

and their two losses are by four points to A&M and Miami, they're in. It's just the way it is.

I always look at teams like Notre Dame or like North Carolina and

basketball. Does the committee have an out, right? Last year they had an out with Alabama. They lost

to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. So you didn't have to put them in. But with Notre Dame, if they beat

USC, Boise, Navy, Arkansas, that's a pretty tough schedule.

And to lose those two games by the four points, that gets them in, I think.

But they have no room for error.

I wanted to bet Notre Dame if they lost one of their first two games.

They lost both.

So now, you know, you have to be perfect the rest of the way.

But if they do make it, if they run the table,

they're in. I don't hate the bet at plus 2.30. I know. I don't want to like it. Like I literally like there's no way you can do this. But unfortunately, there is a way for them to win out if you look at their schedule here. So Mike, do you think they're alive to win out like they did last season after Northern Illinois? I do. I think there's very little doubt that they're live to win out. I actually

think winning out. I actually think
