Welcome back to you. Better you bet. Brought to you by Bet MGM with Nick Costos and Ken Barkley on the Bet QL Network is the great Chris Fowler with the call last Saturday as Texas goes into Tuscaloosa and beats Alabama by double digits. By the way, you excited for Chris Fowler. Call in a Monday night for the first time.

Yeah, they're on this is the sort of a new double header, right? Because in week one, they used to do the the Monday night football double header. That would be the seven o'clock game and like the 10 30 Raiders game or something like that 10 30 years ago, which was brutal, which was brutal.

I have to have to stay up until like two in the morning because you would have to watch it if you did sports content because you'd have to talk about it the next day. And you were always just like, Oh, man, like week one just won't end. Got this 10 30 game called by Mike and Mike or something. You just like can't get around this thing. Got to watch it. And it was always like dicey and went down to the last possession.

You know, just like a lot of crazy stuff happening that came now. Now like a lot more palatable. Oh, like we have two games. They're basically on at the same time. One's on ESPN and one's on ABC. Like you get to kind of like pick which one you want. We have two different commentary teams obviously.

But I'll always happy to hear Fowler. Fowler calling anything is great.

He is, he is the absolute best. Before we get into Loch Miss here, we just did Texas. Are you? Have you put the Texas tech debacle from Saturday night behind you at this point? Like, are we are we on to week three in college football? We still we still on that a little bit. That was a first

minute on Saturday night. Yeah, it made bad beats. Van Pelt after the game. Obviously. And I know he had it. And I'm sure it was something that he liked a lot knowing how he kind of handicaps games to.

And yeah, like, yeah, I'm definitely over it. I wish the outcome had been different. We're not going to do it today. But kind of like an interesting application of that game, I guess.

So I you can look at that game, right? And you can say, man, Texas tech lost to Wyoming.

Lost to Oregon. Oh, and two seasons circling the drain. Like, what can they possibly achieve this year? I mean, they like beat Oregon, basically, for like 59 minutes, they beat Oregon, who is definitely a playoff worthy team was a really highly rated team.

Texas tech to win the big 12 right now is like an astronomical and play the conference game yet. And they this happens sometimes these teams that kind of get this tough luck, non conference slate, or they, you know, they give you just some losses, but maybe not all losses are the same obviously.

We'll do this next next week, because we have like another week to probably do it without anything really changing. You really just want to bet this before Texas plays Oklahoma, maybe Oklahoma wins or something crazy happens.

And the market gets upset a lot, just like Texas, Texas price is starting to drift really far away from the other teams when actually what they've given you is like a very competitive, like kind of well coached well executed game plan to like play to play off team to a tie or even a narrow win for a large part of the game, just like kind of interesting.

You didn't ask me that thinking you were getting a betting take, but I was really looking at this today, just some of the updated conference on like man, Texas tech slept in a little bit and they haven't done anything yet that would make you think they would be less competitive and they've only given you more evidence that they're going to be competitive in the big 12 this year.

So obviously I'll do a little more work on it, but just sneak in that one in there a little bit.

And Texas tech right now at Ben MGM. I'm 18 to one right now to win the big 12. All right, love that Santa don't let out some early. It's like getting Christmas presents. It's not Thanksgiving. You absolutely got to love that from Santa.

Some people like to open early, sometimes like Christmas Eve. A lot of people liked to open the present right like or maybe it's like one every day for a week, you know, something like that.

How do you prefer to open your Christmas presents?

I'm all all morning all the time. I don't want nothing until the morning, but I will see as the kids get older may have to like satisfy them with a present the night before if things get particularly obnoxious, but yeah, mornings the best morning.

I don't want to ruin morning at all. I want to spread this out. I don't want like eight days of cheer. I want like three hours of concentrated cheer in the morning.

I don't want to ruin hours of Christmas cheer. Start now. And I'll probably say that as they start to get older.

All right, awesome. All right. So can you give a new takes on the big 12. But what about the college football playoff and we came back from break with the Texas highlight Texas now plus one 10 at Ben MGM to make the college football playoff.
