| 0:00.0 | Happy Monday, everyone. |
| 0:10.3 | Welcome to the Early Edge, brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:14.9 | I see the chat already going off. |
| 0:16.5 | Gus Dawson in here. |
| 0:17.4 | We got Liddy in here. |
| 0:18.4 | Danny Brasco, Patrick Hillier, Wu-Tang M. Baller. Thanks for being in here. Hit the like button if you could. Let's see how we're liking the recap screen before we bring in the stars of the show. We go six and six. Shout out to Danny Brasco, two and O. Bucgets goes one for two. I go two and O with my golf picks. Chip Patterson, one for two as well. But the sports line picks lets us down. And Calvin finally loses a bet, having Texas minus one and a half in that semi-final game. But ladies and gentlemen, it's time to turn the page. Let's turn the page to a big championship Monday, which of course means we got to have somebody like Tom Casali on the show. |

| 1:10.7 | So, you know, in the last 15 years, |
| 1:13.0 | I probably hit six title futures. Tonight is the first time I've ever hedged because I don't have |
| 1:19.6 | the best team. I got Yukon at 22 to 1. So I bet Michigan to win it all at halftime that Arizona game |
| 1:26.8 | to at least lock in $1,000. |
| 1:30.4 | That's the way I play it. I think when you get to this point, when you get a team like |
| 1:35.1 | Michigan, it's hard to beat them. If you were going to beat Michigan, they had to get beat |
| 1:40.1 | before tonight. That's just my opinion. But impressive performances by both teams. I think |
| 1:45.4 | Yukon's going to put up a fight. I think it's going to be a competitive game throughout, but |
