Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to the Early Edge.

My name is Cianajad, and we are brought to you by Bed-MGM, Make It Legendary.

Well, hoping to have a legendary show for you today on BPE Friday. But let's take a look at the recap screen from the last couple of days. We had the Christmas episode. And then, of course, we had our regular episode on Wednesday. I thought this might have been six and nine, but we end up going five and ten. Mikey B does not have the banner day that he usually has. Larry goes 2-0 in NFL, sports line picks go

two and oh, buckets goes one for two, just some trouble along the NBA lines and then a little

bit of college football trouble there as well. All right, well, let's turn the page. Christmas is

done, but we've got New Year's coming up and we've got our regular programming coming up,

which I'll tell you about later on in this episode. But ladies and gentlemen, we've got new years coming up and we've got our regular programming coming up which i'll tell you about later on in this episode but ladies and gentlemen we got to get things started with bpe

friday we've got mackenzie brco. They were in a fight, apparently. And then, ladies and gentlemen, it's Friday. I know it doesn't feel like Friday, because it's a holiday, like people don't know what day it is, but it's Friday, which means if you hadn't had your espresso, your double, your triple, here's your quadruple, courtesy of Chip Patterson.

Good morning, see you, good, morning, Bucket's good, morning, Danny, good, morning, kids, good, morning, man.

Good morning, Hurley, Hedge, fam.

I hope you wrapped up everything that you needed to do because we got our eyes ahead.

We are still celebrating the spirit, but we take it into the weekend.

Yes, into the weekend because we don't opt out. No, we opt in. That is what we do here on the early edge. Full game picks on deck. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. Let's absolutely go. I love the flex from Danny Brasco. McKenzie Brooks, we haven't had you in the house in quite some time. How are you? And thanks for being here. I'm so happy to be back. What a great time to get my feet wet again in early as. It's just been a busy football season, but it feels like things are opening up, beautiful time of year with so many things to bet on. We have a little bit of a Christmas cold, but we're pushing through. Very happy to be here on this Friday. All right, Danny Brasco, talk to me about where you're, I love, I love the New Year's gear already from Chip Patterson. Danny, talk to me about what you're here with today. Do we have UFC going on this weekend? Are we here with NFL? No, we're still on this long break. The UFC fans are dying right now without, you know, six weeks, so we're in the hiatus. But we got NFL, we got a couple good games to talk about a lot on the line for these ones. I'm excited to get into some football action. Merry Christmas to all. Happy Hanukkah, happy holidays. I hope everyone had a lot of love and joy in their life yesterday. All I did was found my Penn State brother for not having a good football season. Love and joy. Love and joys. Love and joy. Yeah, that love and joy. Well, we're going to talk about Penn State. I was like, what a great season, Flynn. I mean, really, I'm so glad you picked that school. What a great decision. Hey, he's not bludging, so that's good. It's true. This is huge. We're going to talk about Penn State in just a couple of minutes because we got a lot of college football picks from Chip Patterson.

But Buckets, I've been told I have to say hi to you and welcome you into the show. How are you, buddy? It's the day after Christmas. I thought we'd have a little like brotherly something. It doesn't matter. I'm doing good. see more importantly than how I'm, we have 36 English football games that all started at 10 a.m. And I already have my first live bet of the show for those of you following along at home because we don't have the usual EPL Boxing Day madness, but we still have championship league one and league two. So real quick, just to get this out there before we get too, you know, into things here. Coventry versus Swansea City in the English Championship. I am taking Coventry to score in the first half. It's currently minus 145, maybe a bit too juicy for other people, but play that when you're ready to play it. It's in the sixth minute right now. Coventry are the best team in championship playing at home the day after Christmas, and they are already looking like they should have scored one or two here. They are all over Swansea. Take that first half goal for Coventry. And you hit your live bet on our last show on Wednesday, Bucket's you had a live bet that a lot of people tailed. So hopefully this one hits as well. Chip, before we get into Bucket's first pick of our show, Mark Buckholtz says, I need Chip's

thoughts on CMU Northwestern.

Any thoughts there, Chip?

Very, very, very big number for Northwestern to cover in an actual football game.

Central Michigan, the thing you want to know here is that they institute a new head coach

who came from Army staff.

So you've got a chance that you might have lower possession total, which would make it a little bit tougher for Northwestern to be to cover.

But anytime Central Michigan played anybody with the Polts, they got pounded.
