It's Nick Costos and Ken Barkley on you better you bet from Beck, you know, I'll bring it up Jake

Yeah, magnificent football Monday with Nick and Ken, you better you bet on the Beck QL network. Our pal Nupes is going to join us in 20 minutes.

We'll get away from the NFL for a little bit do some NBA and some Australian open with our pal Alex Christiansen and I think we'll probably just end up doing a P square B square if I had to guess through the end of the third hour of the show, power hour, yeah, power hour, final hour featuring all our bets for tonight, not a ton of games, not a ton of games tonight, but we will try to mine for some value and try to give some bets out top 25 Nick's got some college basketball plays. I got plays in the USC Arizona State game because there's like a from Monday. There's

there's like a pretty good amount of power conference college basketball. There's like six or seven notable games, when usually there's there might be three. There might be two, honestly, but the ESPN double header. It's really not that bad tonight. I was a little surprised by that USC Arizona State and Kansas, Texas, we have to be on the same side of Kansas, Texas. Are you on the side of the total?

I'm on I have a derivative. Oh, oh, I love it. Okay. All right. Well, you're you like Kansas. I'm going to guess you're on Kansas first half. That's my guess. That's right. Yeah. Okay. You like Kansas full game. I do. Yeah, I just think Kansas like it's going to look like anything else. If people in the chatter or when I guess Nick, if you're if you have the schedule up in front of you, whatever, there's a game wake is playing. Is it at 530 or 6 PM Eastern? It's the first power conference game of the day.

Oh, are you going to bet it? I'd love to have six o'clock Eastern, six o'clock Eastern. So we have to make sure in the final segment of our number three that we then I'll give out my bet for that game. I have a bet on BC and wake forest.

It starts at 6 PM Eastern, wake 10 and a half, 141 or to have at home against Boston College. Wake off of a game that I got half right loved Carolina. They got destroyed. Love the over hit by 500 points because Carolina's defense was so bad. So one and one and now we go into this game. We'll see. We'll see what's going on. So final segment next hour.

By the way, just because you mentioned North Carolina. I haven't yet. I kind of want to take Virginia Tech to money line just to beat them.

I don't I don't I don't have any expectations of what this game is going to be like for them. Honestly, back to back road games, which are among the worst two game stretches in like the history of the school, basically, from a margin of defeat and opponent.

So you you're you're a Carolina fan. Like what's is this like this Hubert sock or the players not good. Like what's happening. It's possible. We'll bake out got hurt in the first game of the two on the road, one of their best players. But yeah, like they're just.

I'm still reserving judgment on like because this is a it's anytime. Like you follow. It's even like you follow a legendary coach. That doesn't really matter. But you follow with someone who recruits in a specific level. So it's you and their players. Like our valuation of Hubert Davis is actually much more about.

Like how the transition player wise will actually take place in the next two years. That's right. Are you are you holding on to the same types of players. Like how much does a program. So you, especially if you look at smaller programs, like, you know, when Butler goes from Brad Stevens to that Holtman who is also awesome. But then like kind of goes down the scale a little bit after that.

You see the players start to decline. What's going to happen to Texas tech now that Beard's not there anymore. And now it's Adams who like everyone seems to think is amazing. But like what is one of the next few years. Like you're still Beard's players like it's still his guys. So like Hubert Davis is kind of it's a jury's out situation. I was

say the most recent returns the last two road games. And Miami is always a team that drives them crazy when we're used to coach there forever. Would Laranagan would always beat him. And always give him a tough game. Good to see that that hasn't changed whatsoever with that. I mean, what, like, what was I mean, they were down like 33 was 16 minutes. What was that.

So yeah, like, should we just better Virginia tech money line tonight.

I don't I don't have like my number in the game is like 4.4. So it's not there's not it would not it would not be a number conversation. It would be

It's like intuitive by me. I think the Virginia tech or just like what version of Carolina do you think you're going to get in this game. Like do you think like back-to-back road games worth noting like minimal practice time. I mean, it's a Monday night game. They played Saturday. So, you know, like, you're not really going to be able to fix a whole lot that's going on. It's just as the flip from home road and the splits involved.

Does that make you a little more confident that Carolina can show you something against a Virginia tech team that also has very high expectations or had very high expectations. I should say. And has not met them like at all. So, like a weird game. Honestly, there's this game reminds me of a few of the NBA games tonight, where I understand all of the factors that are going into it. And I still.

I'm like paralyzed to kind of make a smart betting decision there if the bulls game tonight would be a perfect example. The NBA of a game like that. I'm like, what.

I know everything involved. What am I supposed to do here? Like, I don't. I don't totally understand in this this game. I feel the same way. Alex Caruso prop overs.

To so like number. Yeah, like a number of games missed.

Have a grace. Got it. I mean, can we pull it? Yes. How about the how about the box statements? Yes. How about the buck statement?
