| 0:10.1 | I am your host, Mackenzie Brooks. |
| 0:11.4 | I will be joined by the Best in the Biz talking college football best bets for week eight. |
| 0:16.6 | I literally cannot believe we're saying that right now. |
| 0:19.2 | We got a new little schedule for the show here. |
| 0:21.4 | We got a full hour. |
| 0:22.4 | We're going to rip through the Power 4 conferences. Then we're going to hit some underdog bets as well. So we're going to get right into it. We're not going to waste your time. We know you've heard enough about James Franklin and all of these storylines ahead of this week. So let's just get into our best bets. Time to bring in the real stars of the show here. |
| 0:36.7 | Mike McClure, Tom Casale, Emery Hunt, gentlemen, |
| 0:39.3 | always a pleasure to be with you on these Wednesday after. get into our best bets. Time to bring in the real stars of the show here. Mike McClure, Tom Casalee, |

| 1:16.1 | legit. I think Louisville is one of the tougher teams to cap only because they've had an interesting |
| 1:22.2 | early part of the season where they just haven't really faced many tough teams. And to me, this is all about if Miami shows up. |
| 1:30.2 | If Miami shows up, nobody in the ACC is coming close, not Louisville, not SMU. |
| 1:35.2 | Those are average football teams. |
| 1:36.9 | But I don't want to lay this number, so I'll lean under here. |
| 1:40.4 | All right. |

| 1:45.8 | Yeah, going to isolate that Louisville team total under 18 and a half. |
