| 0:00.0 | Let's get back to You Better You Bet on the BetMGM Network. |
| 0:07.0 | All right, let's continue talking some college football, getting you ready for week one. |
| 0:12.4 | We got some games tonight, loaded slate tomorrow, two great games on Sunday and then UNC and TCU on Monday as well. |
| 0:20.1 | Continuing to talk some college football, we welcome on Tom Casally, who joins us. |
| 0:23.9 | Give Tom a follow on X at the Tom Casally, college sports betting analysts for Sportsline |
| 0:29.0 | and CBS Sports as well. |
| 0:30.9 | Tom, great having you on, man. |
| 0:32.6 | Jared and I were just talking about this Auburn Baylor game. |
| 0:35.9 | We can't wait for it. |
| 0:37.3 | Baylor's starting to take a little bit of money today leading up to the game, Auburn Baylor game. We can't wait for it. Baylor's starting to take a little |
| 0:38.3 | bit of money today leading up to the game. Auburn down to a one and a half point favorite |
| 0:43.2 | minus 120. The total's sitting in around 57 and a half. Did you have any plays, any liens on this |
| 0:49.7 | Auburn Baylor game tonight? You know, when the lines first came out, I grabbed Auburn on the |
| 0:55.5 | money line. I'm not quite as confident now. That was a few months ago when they just first came out. |
| 1:03.2 | I like Auburn's defense. That's kind of the thing that swayed me that way. They were in 28th |
| 1:09.4 | defense last year. And when you have a losing record in the SEC and you're still top 30 in defense, you got some talent on that side of the ball. Jackson Arnold's going to be the X factor for this team. I mean, that's really what they were missing last year at quarterback. I bet a couple of their games and man, it was tough to watch. So I think, listen, we're going to talk about a bunch of games this weekend, and my analysis is going to be about the same. This is going to be a competitive game. It's going to go down to the fourth quarter. I can see why some people think Baylor should be the favorite in this game, so it doesn't surprise me that they're taking money, but I do lean Auburn on the money line. Yeah, I took Baylor, took two and a half a while ago, too. If this thing does flip, Tom, I'm kind of hands to the sky here because I feel like you get a line flip this early in the season. Nobody really knows what's going on. I think you come back on Auburn. That feels like the right move there if you get a plus sign next to their name. This is a tough week, right? And I know we always say the cliches and all that stuff when it comes to betting and how you should structure your bankroll. But unlike the NFL, we really have no information. And we are banking on reports and, you know, all of the previews |
| 2:18.4 | that we get from all the different sources and the magazines, but we don't get the access |
| 2:22.4 | that we do in the NFL. Is this the toughest week of the year betting college football? |
| 2:27.4 | Yeah, I always think college football and college basketball are kind of similar. |
| 2:32.2 | You know, you need to see these teams and adjust your numbers and take in some of the data |
| 2:37.1 | because I hate to bet based on last season. |
| 2:41.2 | Last season is done. |
