| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:10.9 | Welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:12.2 | Happy Tuesday. |
| 0:13.0 | We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:16.6 | We've got a recap screen to get to, |
| 0:18.1 | and then we've got a huge and awesome cast to cover your Tuesday slate. Let's look at the recap screen. As I see, E.C. is already in the chat. I wonder if he's on this show. We go two and one. Buckets goes one for two. One of our picks is void, and then Bruce Marshall hits Minnesota Timberwolves minus seven and a half. So a short recap screen. We still have Mike McClure's pick pending, I believe. So that'll show up on tomorrow's recap screen. But let's see who's going to show up on this screen that you're looking at right now. Ladies and gentlemen, check out this cast. Tom Casale, Jeff Hoffman, Eric Cohen, and Larry Hartstein. Wow, here's where I'm going to start, E.C. I'm starting with you because somehow you got this chat to all become Arizona Wildcat fans. That's all I see in the chat, Arizona over BYU yesterday. Your reaction. You know, see, I know you like to give me grief about my Wildcats being soft, but this year's team isn't it? Now, I want to give credit |
| 1:11.8 | to Tom because he picked Arizona to win yesterday. I thought it was a bad spot for them on the road |
| 1:17.5 | in Provo. They got it done. The officiating was crooked at the end. Arizona couldn't make free throws |
| 1:22.5 | at the end, but 21 and Osea is 21 and 0, and we're going to celebrate hopefully in April when Arizona makes the final four wins |
| 1:30.3 | the national championship and wins me boatloads of money. |
| 1:33.7 | Yeah, they'll be out in the Elite 8. |
| 1:35.9 | That's going to be my early prediction. |
| 1:38.4 | Jeff Hockman, can you give me an early prediction on where you think this line is at for |
| 1:42.2 | the Super Bowl? |
| 1:42.9 | It's four and a half. |
| 1:44.1 | Larry and I talked about it |
| 1:45.3 | yesterday on CBS Sports Network. By the way, that version of the show is already on the sports |
| 1:49.8 | line YouTube channel. Your reaction to the four and a half, Jeff. Well, I wrote an article for CBS Sports |
| 1:55.0 | before the championship games, previewing the four potential Super Bowl matchups. I made Seattle four and a half when the lookaline was Seattle minus three and a half. |
| 2:04.8 | So I think Seattle's going to win the game. |
| 2:08.5 | I truly believe that. |
| 2:11.9 | The spread wise, I'm not sure. |
