Chase Thomas podcast. My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate, I already hate it. I hate it.

All right. Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Chase Thomas podcast from Still, the A for mention Chase Thomas come to you live from Knoxville, Tennessee, Everything School, HQ.

Join me, Omaha Productions own Jack Foster, the best background of anyone on the pod each and every week. Jack, good morning, sir. How are you?

I'm doing great. And fun fact, at the Omaha end of year party, they gave out superlatives to each employee.

My superlative was best background. So, how about it? Yeah. There you go.

It was like most likely to show off all his collectibles, which is essentially best background.

So yeah.

Wow, that felt kind of passive aggressive from them.

Because like ultimately it should be the you should embrace this like in a background era of podcasting and everything else.

That's called King of Collectibles.

So I got like the King of Collectibles or they spun every award to make it Omaha theme. You know, so it made sense in that case. But yeah. Was Peyton there? He was indeed. Okay. Did you talk to Peyton? A little bit, yeah. Did you ask me about the game? How does he feel? Which way is he leaning? He didn't give a pick or anything, but it feels like he's leaning Tennessee for probably the reasons I'll lay out here in the ensuing 20 minutes.

Okay. I like it. Well, it is our best bets Friday here with Jack Foster.

Well, it add in baseball as we get closer to the baseball season with Jack as the baseball beatwriter for Rocky Top Insider as well, Mr. Jack Foster.

But there's a lot of interesting gambling components here on Saturday night in Columbus for Tennessee.

The line has really stayed just around seven and a half for the balls as road underdogs here

as you've gotten a couple weeks to think about this do you think Tennessee is going to cover

this line here in Columbus yes I do um you know I'll I'll go ahead and say I think Tennessee wins the

game outright so that's my pick.

But even if Tennessee loses this game, and there's obviously a way Tennessee loses, there's

multiple ways. But the way I see it happening, I have a hard time believing Tennessee gets blown

out or throttled in any way. So I think Tennessee finds a way to keep it close. I feel like

this is a low-scoring game. So I'll say Tennessee covering is a really strong bet. Of course, a money line pick is, you know, the upset play, so you never know. But I do like this seven and a half number for Tennessee to cover pretty easily, honestly. It makes me feel better. It's so stupid, but like seven and a half makes me feel a lot better than nine and a half like if this line was nine 10 like the georgia line i'm like i just they know something they know that's the seven and a half is just like this is a coin flip game to me like seven and a half in a playoff game in columbus against a team like ohio state it feels like three and a half for a lot of other teams.
