Hey, very good morning, everyone.

Welcome to the Early Edge.

We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary.

Well, we had a legendary recap screen yesterday.

Okay, that's overstating it just a little bit. But let's take a look at how we did before we bring in the stars of the show. A nice bounce back from the previous recap screen. We go five and two. Look at Sniper hitting the plus 117, working overtime at the World Series. Let's see. We've got our NHL pick. The sports equinox was in play. We hit our NHL pick. We hit the NBA pick. We hit some NFL picks. We did it all. And we're going to do it all with the stars of the show. Let's go ahead and bring them in right now because we've got a new kid in town here. We've got buckets. We've got Chip Patterson. And we got Jeff Hockman.

Jeff! Let's go, Jeff! Let's go, baby. Let's cash some tickets. Let's cash some tickets. I love

the energy. We've got chip-type energy coming from Jeff Hockman. Say hi to Jeff in the chat.

Jen, Richard Pierre, Jeff Stenberg, Tim D, Ty Coyle, SET is in here. Patrick Hillier,

say hello to Jeff Hockman. Jeff, how you doing and welcome to the show? This is your time, right?

It's NHL season. NHL, there's 16 games today. There's so many games. The league had to schedule some

at 6 p.m. Eastern. They wanted to space them all out so everybody

can watch as many as possible. I got two winners for everybody, hopefully. And I'm so excited,

you know, sports equinox this week. And then the Breeders Cup, this Friday and Saturday, it doesn't

get any better than this. It doesn't get any better than this. Buckets, you've got a lot of soccer picks on the show. But before we get there, how are you doing today, buddy? I'm doing okay. I'm Googling what is an equinox. So once I figured that out, since it's been said four times already this morning, I think I'll be in a better space. Yeah, that's fair. Chip Patterson, we've got college football today. Speaking of buckets, I don't know if you recall, it was a couple years ago where James Madison was playing.

And Bucket said famously, I guess they'll just slap any name on a school, not realizing that it was the fourth president of the United States.

That was a tough one.

Also, your alma mater, disrespectful to see his alma mater as well. How are you feeling big road test for the Duke's important game? How are we feeling? I mean, this JMU team is pretty legit, although I will say, because I know you have a pick later on in the show. They're playing Texas State, right? Texas State has lost some heartbreakers. That's a decent team as well.

I know you don't have a pick on this spread, but six and a half, how do you feel about that?

So if it's a, it's classic, you've heard me say something like this before, see ya. If this game was played in a neutral environment, in a vacuum, give me all like six and a half sure, seven sure, seven and a half sure. But guess what?

It ain't. It's being played in San Marcos, Texas on a Tuesday night. And you're absolutely right.

G.J. Kinney, that Texas State head coach, he's gotten them up to beat a Baylor team. He's gotten

them up to play competitive against Arizona State. You mentioned the string of
