Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to by our friends over at Fanduel. And it's, Brian, it's been a crazy last couple of weeks. And I feel like now we're finally starting to get our footing under us. And we kind of have our wits about us after the craziness of the Notre Dame and the playoff discussion and their decision to sit out of the bowl game. And I figured this would be a good time now. I talk about it. Brian talks about it at the start of every episode, every segment that we do here in the Irish Breakdown podcast. But extremely thankful for our partnership with our friends over at Fandul. It's been a really fun ride. I mean, specifically for me, I'm a sports better. I used Fanduel way before we got this partnership at

Irish Breakdown. So that's been a little cool piece for me. And obviously now it's...

There was nobody more excited on the staff when I told people we were partnering with Fandul

and Trevor. Like that is, it was cool. And, you know, when we would talk betting lines on

the show before, I would always reference Fandual numbers. So it was kind of, you know, destined to be, I guess you could say. So a lot of fun, really excited to see where this continues to go. But, you know, friendly reminder, the college football playoffs do start this weekend. I know you guys are like me significantly less interested, right, because Notre Dame's not in it. But quick refresher of some of the lines here on Fandall, some of them I thought were interesting. We've talked a lot about the over-under, the Alabama, Oklahoma game. Brian, the over-under on Fandul is still set at 40 and a half for that first-round matchup, which is pretty gross. But we figured because of the style of how the two teams played, it would be relatively

low. Texas A&M is currently three and a half point favorites at home over Miami.

And then obviously Ole Miss and Oregon are both three possession favorites over

Tulane and James Madison. Oregon's 21.5 point favorites. And Ole Miss is 17.5 point favorites.

So not really expecting that many close games. So, yeah. favorites and Ole Miss is 17 and a half point favorites.

So not really expecting that many close games.

So we'll see what happens.

To be expected.

I mean, that's kind of how first round games go.

That's what was so lame about the overreaction to last year's first round. I'm like, this is what the semifinals have basically been since 2014. Like the majority of

the semifinal games were not competitive. There were some good ones. I mean, Georgia, Oklahoma in

2017, TCU, Michigan in 20, what's that, 23? You know, or no, that's 22, right? Georgia and

Michigan was 22. I mean, excuse me, TCU, Michigan's 22, right? Georgia and Michigan was 22.

I mean, excuse me, TCU, Michigan was 22, but a lot of these games weren't really competitive.

Like the Texas, Washington game from 2023 or 2022, now, that would be 23.

That was more of a late comeback.

That was more like the Notre Dame Ohio State game was last year than anything

else. So I just, whatever. It's going to be, I think, even if they're close games, I think it's
