What's up, everyone? Welcome to the Early Edge, brought to you by BedMGM, Make It Legendary. My name is

0:15.4

Cianajan, and we've got a great show for you today. I see you in the chat, Justin Bowman,

0:20.5

Big Cheesy, Farsad, Rick Pun Cannon, Brad

0:23.5

Morris.

0:24.0

Thanks for being in here.

0:24.8

Larry Hartstein in here as well.

0:26.8

He hit his pick yesterday.

0:28.3

Let's see who else hit their picks yesterday.

0:30.9

We go four and two.

0:32.8

Larry ends up crushing his Karen Williams prop.

0:35.1

Mikey B goes two for two and prop he hits his Bijon Robinson under receiving yards prop.

0:41.3

Four and two is solid, but we can certainly improve off of that record.

0:46.0

So let's go ahead and try to do that with the stars of the show on a Tuesday.

0:50.0

Ladies and gentlemen, look at this cast on a Tuesday.

0:53.0

We got Chip Patterson. We got Jeff Hockman. We got buckets. And we got Zach Simony. What a nice little Tuesday show here, Chip. I think when people see you, they're like, oh, we're getting the chip me up. No, that's just for Fridays, right? Correct. Yes. Listen, we, if you overdo it, then it is over saturation and over exposure. And we don't want that for something like to chip me up. Come on now. We don't want to water that down. We certainly don't. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So stay tuned to Friday. Jeff Hockman, you know, I'm looking at a rundown here. And I'm just narrowly surprised because I know you cover it all. You cover NFL, you cover

1:29.4

obviously NHL, but today you're covering, or at least your pick, is in college basketball, correct?

1:36.5

Yeah, I've been waiting for this spot for a couple of weeks now when I was looking at the

1:40.6

schedule and who I want to play. I mean, there's only five games in the NHL today, and it seems like yesterday's schedule

1:47.1

was huge, which should have been on a Tuesday, which it normally is.

1:51.0

I think because of the New Year's Day holiday, they switch things around.

1:55.1

So I wasn't really excited about the NHL card, and I never want to force a play just to give out

2:00.1

a play, but I do think I found a winner in college basketball, which we'll get to later on. All right. We got Mike McClure in the chat, along with Larry Hartstein, Jen in the chat, Justin Long, or is it Jason Long, in the chat as well. Buckets, how are you feeling today? We got a couple of soccer picks. I feel much better after Lou Brusco's message there saying Buckets is the only one that could get me to actually watch a soccer game. That is the greatest compliment a soccer caper can get. See, we've got about 10 good games today, and we've got one really good game today that I'm excited to break down for everyone. And, Zach, before we get into picks, you're here with NBA, correct?
