Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in, welcome back to

getting to Buck guys on Buck. I talked to Glamour recent Tyler Shoemaker and we're doing it a day early happy thanks giving everybody we

want to make sure we got this to you. There's a Thursday game in college football. There's a couple Friday games, so we normally do this Friday

morning, plus nobody wants to record a podcast on Thanksgiving. So Tyler Shoemaker, happy early Thanksgiving to you and your

family. You dug happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well. Good to be back this week. And my sound is better. So I apologize last week

to everybody who had to fight through my weird sound. We got that straightened out. What are your Thanksgiving plans, T-Sho? You're going

somewhere, you're having people over, you're just keeping it tight with the squad. What's up? Yep, just just our five here in our house. We're, you know, going to do the turkey and ham and, you know, all the good

sides are looking looking forward to that. Just having a day, you know, no work, no, no anything. Just hanging out the family, play some games and just relax a

little bit. And maybe sprinkle a little bit on a couple NFL games, maybe the egg bowl, right? Yeah, thanksgiving. Yeah, everybody likes that. So

that we're going to start off as we always do talking about the Ohio State game, the betting angle on the buck guys. We'll get into our power five picks, and then at the

end, get into the weeds with where we're going to make some money on best bets and that kind of thing. And then Tyler has a really good tip of the

week that he's going to pass along. And we always want to remind you the Tyler also writes this up at cleveland.com slash OSU. He'll have his right up on Friday morning. So you can go look there. If you want to double check anything, double check best bets, get a written

explanation of what he's talking about. That's also always an option for you as well. Always like to get your numbers, Tyler, seven and a half Ohio State favored by in the game on Saturday, 56 and a half. The total we're looking at. There's an

early betting line on big gigantic games like this that books will put out something on Ohio State Michigan that they don't do on, you know, Michigan, Indiana or Ohio State Rutgers, but they'll give you an Ohio State Michigan line a couple months ahead, because they know people might want to bet it. And that was more like two scores. For the past few weeks and months and now it's more like one score. It's gone from like you double checked it for me 12 to 14 and that range down to seven and a half. What do you think that's a

bout and what do you think about like a super early line on a specific game three months out? Is that like a thing to actually bet or is that just. Hey, I'm an Ohio State fan. Hey, I'm a Michigan fan. I'll slap a couple bucks on my team, but it's not really a strategy. People should follow.

Yeah, it's interesting. So the first part of that as far as far as the Ohio State Michigan line and how that's moved. I mean, that's pretty much in line with with my numbers, you know, how they've

trended over the last month, because, you know, earlier in the season, I did have a high state as about a two touchdown favorite in this game. Now I'm down to eight. So, I mean, I'm pretty much in line with the market. So it opened at 10.

Earlier this week immediately took heavy Michigan money. And if you follow me on Twitter, I kind of forecasted this a little bit. I said, I think the books are going to open high, especially given the Blake quorum uncertainty, because he's such a big part of what Michigan does. I think they're going to open high to give themselves some Michigan money coming in.

The line's going to go down. In my opinion, I think this line's going to probably stay around seven, seven and a half all week. And in my opinion, Ohio State's going to cover that.

But we'll see. We'll see. But as far as the total in this game, 56 and a half, it's still continuing to go down a lot of people, a lot of money on the under right now. My number is actually like the over.

I'm actually more at around 63 and a half in this game. So I'm like a full touchdown higher than the than the over under right now. So, so we'll see we'll see how that plays out.

And then the dance of the second part of your question. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As far as as far as like looking ahead at these game of the year lines, it is something that I did. So in the summer.
