A Numbers Game | February 9, 2026 | Hour 1

0:00A number's told the story to always do. Swandles idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gila Xander gone. Vsyn. Good Monday morning to you. The morning after. It's a numbers game at Vsyn. These sports betting that were Vsyn.com game plus. High-hard radio, YouTube TV, and of course, Series X of Channel 158, Gila Xander. Kale by the lawn. Oh, in the hissy. After Super Bowl 60. How you doing, babe? I'm doing great. How about you? I know you had a great golf tournament yesterday. It feels like we were just here because it was like a immediate sweat right after we left yesterday. What I say out there, I go watch. Sheffield going to finish one back. It was the Super Bowl could have never lived up to that drama. Bill. I need to say it. Here is my, I said this and last night Will Hill was kind enough to have me on the shoot a bit more podcast. But I said what I would start the show with today is exactly that line, which is that Super Bowl lived perfectly up to the hype. The hype, if you believe everything we sort of painted out when we thought the game would be, we will talk Super Bowl 60

1:01here. Left and right. North and South front center, whatever, every which way we're going to do it here more materially. Greg Peterson will join us in the later talk college. Oops. We will talk Phoenix Open Country Club. And that deserves a little recap kelly crushed on that. Wes Reynolds will join us at a birchle join us. They've got some college basketball on a pretty good, pretty good night college basketball with one huge game between Arizona and Kansas. We'll get in all that. But Super Bowl 60. May it have gone to form as well as it did for us. Beautiful. At least the form that we we talked about here for two weeks, which again at the top will get you know was about the fact that again, you don't have to trust Aaron shots is DVO sacredly. But as guidelines, they were good. Let's go through it. Blow by blow. See a new New England, first of all, defers on the opening coin toss, not the opening coin toss, the only coin toss. Kelly, unless there's an overtime. But in this case, it was the only one to do it every quarter.

2:02Seattle from their own 35 Walker for 10 on the very first play a poor 10 of things to come. The eventual MVP two plays later, Donald Barner somehow passed Marcus Jones for 15. It felt like every darn old pass was flirting with disaster early. Then he goes to cup for 23 and rabble decides not to challenge it. I thought he probably should. Oh, yeah. That was that was a big miss right away. And I think Terry McCauley was wrong on the broadcast. I don't think that was a catch at all. I don't think it was either. It ends up ending up in a Myers 33 yard. Feel go three to nothing. Seahawks 11, 58 left first quarter. The new England couple first downs with that Derek call sacks May. That a poor tent of things to come as the Patriots then had to punt Seattle from their own 10 Darnell Forts with his zaster again on first down. Three it out after under pressure. He missed a wide open Jackson Smith and Jigba deep. Oh, that could have been huge early. Yeah. Still three to nothing. New England from their own 36 May to booty to open the drive for 21. But then three straight negative plays.

3:03Jesus Christ. They're going the wrong way punctuated by Devon witherspoon sacking May. That was a play where they had six. The Seahawks had six guys at the line. Ernest Jones dropped back in coverage and witherspoon untouched to May. They never saw it coming. They had to punt Seattle exploiting at that point. The left side of the New England offensive line. That sack was a was indicative of that. But really or actually say that sack was down the middle mainly. But really up until that point, it was all about exploiting the left side and specifically will Campbell. Seattle then punted to England again. Still three to nothing game in all this. New England three and out after a third and five run at their own 37 went nowhere. And that was the first time when they called that play. Remember console was like that seems like a give up. That was the first time you thought to yourself is Drake may shoulder. Okay. Seattle after incomplete debited for Shaheed Walker for 30 two plays later Walker for 29. But again, the Seahawks have to settle for a Myers 39 yard filled little six to nothing.

4:04Seahawks 11 16 left in the second quarter. New England a three and out after May was sacked by Riley Mills on second down. Seattle punts this time. New England pinned at their own two Collins worth incessantly letting us know that New England needs a first down. Thanks Chris. They get one. But then they have to put Seattle from their own 43 with 250 left in the half. Best field position of the game. They're up six to nothing. They hit the first and 10th in England 30 with 32 seconds left. That's when we got that Duncan donuts at with like every star imaginable. Wasn't that funny? Not the amazing cast right. Funny. And then that rude back street boys crypto commercial. Darnell the cup for seven Seattle uses the last time out second and three. The New England 23 with 23 seconds left in the half. They have to sell for a Myers 41 yard field. The left are darnled through slightly behind JSN in the end zone at any point. Kill through these first three field goals. Did you did you think? Oh boy. Leave it points out on the field. I did not. Neither. And you will see that in my my betting ledger. That there was never a moment where I thought again.

5:06I I had that 50 to one verse shut out. Yeah. Which got. I could text you about that one, man. I thought you were very live with that for a while. Well, I hate myself because I also stared at the half time shut out at nine to one. Maybe five times. It never been. Hate myself self-loving. Anyway, that allowed Gonzalez to break that up because Darnell was behind JS. And so the Myers 41 yard makes it nine to nothing at the half at half time. 183 to 51 in total yards. In favor of the Seahawks, Darnell 9 of 22 for 88. But Walker 14 cares for 94. Drake May at the half six of 11 for 48. Patriots had four first downs. Third quarter in England, three and out to start. Once again, Seattle might have gotten away with an offside on the punt by the way. Which would have extended the drive. I didn't notice that. Oh, yeah. They were all over it. Seattle from their own nine. Second and eight if they're on 11. Darnell to Shaheed for 16 next play to JSN for 16. Then Darnell for 11 into a new England territory.

6:06Two plays later. A dump off to Walker for 20. But again, they have to settle for a Myers field. Go for the fourth time when Darnell missed cup on third and nine at the New England 22. This time from 41 out from Myers 12 to nothing. Seahawks 9 12 left the third quarter. Then in New England, three and out after Travion got nine on first down. They got nine on first down. Then stuffed on second and may miss Douglas on third. Drake May was not good at football for three plus quarters in this game. Seattle from their own 18. Milton Williams sacked Darnell on first. So that ends up into three and out still 12 to nothing. Game sort of still in the balance. New England sacked on first by Byron Murphy. The second three and out after May threw away through it way too hard to bootie. Then Seattle of three and out. But again, still up 12 nothing. New England third and five at their own 44 may sack by Derek Hall on a four man rush. Seattle not even blitzed getting to him. He fumbles recovered by Byron Murphy. Seattle now set up the New England 37 Darnell to barn for 11 to end the third quarter. Three plays later Darnell to cut for nine on third and nine.

7:06The New England 25 next play Darnell to Barnor from 16 out 19 to nothing. Seahawks 13 24 left 19 nothing. And that was the first time you're like, wow. Yeah. This is not only over competitive portion of the ballgame is over. But now it's, uh, it felt good. The whole way, Gil. It felt like it was, it was done. Done and dusted then. Then a striker went on the field. And I thought to myself, if ever a game needed to show the striker, this was it. I was really mad at that rule at that point. That was the line. Uh, was the line he kept using rocket scientists. He said it like three times. I was like, I don't know. He's like, we've got a rocket scientist out on the field. Uh, it's always saying on Twitter that Tariqo didn't think the joke landed the first time. So he kept. That's great. Anyway, I really, I really was like, show the striker for God's sakes. Make an exception. Uh, 19 nothing. But now the Patriots from their own 35 may rush us for six. And then may perfect past a Mac Holland for 24 over the middle. I don't know how he got it to him. And then next plate of Holland's for 35 touchdown to ridiculous passes in a row.

8:07And there goes my shutout. Yeah. Uh, in the fourth quarter, just like that. Now I could even text you, man. Like it was too, it was too bad. And the game is Drake may played. It was back to back gorgeous football. I mean, that touchdown passes a gorgeous ball. Well, the one before that was insane. Um, it was like, sorry, go. I just want to point this out. Yeah, it was happened so quick. But by the way, I, the whole way I kept, I kept quiet the whole time. The guys in the text were like, oh, my god. Shit. I'm like, well, I'm not saying word. Uh, Mike Raible math ladies and gentlemen, this is your coach in the air. Remember, this is the guy who against the chargers in the playoffs, when they were up 12, just kicked an extra point. Remember he couldn't have been bothered against the chargers to try for two to go 14. Well, now you're down 19 to six. You obviously go for two to cut it to 11, right? A three and an eight would then get you tied. Not Mike Raible coach of the year, he kicks an extra point 19 to seven. And Tariqo tries to bend over backwards, justifying it. Seattle then punts. Now, New England down 19 to seven.

9:09Now I have a lot of live bets going and some preflops where I'm like, okay, is this going to, is this going to end badly for some of these? New England from their own four may air mills of wide open Austin Hooper. But then they overcome it with two first downs, second and three at their own 44 may throws it right down the middle of field of Julian love. This was, I mean, this was the point in the game, really like for a second there. I thought this was, this could still go bad, but may through it right down the middle to Julian love who returned at 35 yard Seattle set up at the New England 38 walker for 14 walker for 10, but they settle for a fifth Myers field goal. This from 26, 22 to seven Seattle with 535 left. New England from their own 38 then may sack by Byron Murphy on first. They overcome it by first and 10 to Seattle 44 may sack by Devin Witherspoon. Is that the six of the seven sack of the game? Well, he was six at that point. Paul Jarred loose. It's actually an interception for a chin and a woe. So 45 to the house 29 to seven Seattle with 427 left. And then New England does goes eight. New England does go eight play 65 yards made a remondre from seven out two point conversion

10:10fails 29 13 Seattle with two 21 left and then after the onside kick failed. Set up at the New England 46 three and out though after a would be walker 49 yard touchdown run was called back on a hold. That was significant to some. Yeah. That would have been the over. Nope. How much money would have changed hands on that? I mean, you know, not only that obviously he ends up winning MVP, but you're, I mean, I thought was, oh, this is this is solidified. He runs this in easy MVP. Oh, I thought he was the easy MVP period. I mean, that was more for the total than anything. No, I thought he was too, but that would have that would have put it to bed without any question. Well, I mean, you had Jason Myers at that point was like six to one or something. Walker was by at that point was minus 500 minus 700. We'll get into the Jason Myers thing. I am not of the school that he had any chance whatsoever to win this. And we spelled it out yesterday when Kelly and I were on the path that a ticker has to have

11:12to win the MVP is so narrow. And we even said on the show yesterday, even if it's like 12 to nothing, he's not necessarily the MVP. Anyway, the only other note where they think from a prop standpoint, New England got the ball back from their own six with 149 left. They didn't end up scoring, but the last play of the game made a tribey on for 24. That was his receiving yards over. I don't know if people have ever joist on that Seattle 29 New England 13. Congratulations to all that had Seattle every which way futures. Preflop in game will talk all about it. In detail, nonplay by play version. Next on a numbers game right here at Feeson.

We get to a speed book, Bob Heening. After 20 minutes of grading my laundry list of wagers,

13:22I come out to an ANG aided robust $8 profit. Look out Starbucks in the end. Will Campbell short arms were just too much to overcome. Do we have the will Campbell? Do we have the will Campbell tweet by any chance here, Danny? This is a. This is a, you know, he just got absolutely rolled. This is a from real Jack Andrade. So next gen stats attributing 14 quarterback pressures, allowed to will Campbell in Super Bowl 60. The most pressures allowed by any player in a game this season, including playoffs. Is that good? Scola. At school attempt. First off, congrats to Kelly on his golf outright. Crazy in the current NFL to get a Super Bowl with no team going for it on fourth down. How about that? Huh? No team going for it on fourth down. Pat Monteforty, modern day Jim Plunkett story with the Darnell winning with Darnell winning the Super Bowl. Yes. Absolutely. Oh, Barry Wilbur passed away. I'm sorry. Thank you for it. I'll let me know horse plop. That is a guy who had interceptions when the Redskins beat the Broncos in 1980s after the 1987 season

14:24in the Super Bowl. Shrek McFee aside from the offensive line. The biggest factor in the game was Marcus Jones refusing to catch a punt. Three times he let it bounce into the New England five yardline Collinsworth finally brought it up after the last one. Los Vegas 514. Yo. Oh, this is something DC fans were texting about yesterday. All I know is that I think that we washing and ended up with the correct quarterback. JD five, I believe would have done way better than may feel bad for the kid. Hope he doesn't end up like marino. See you at so far on Valentine's Day in 2027 in JD five. We trust. Yes. That was a big thing side bar happening with DC sports fans yesterday. Enough with this BS. I want to I want to curse so bad a whole year. We had to put up with his Drake May stuff. You played a ridiculously easy schedule. I won't go through the playoff shenanigans of how easy it was 16 points against a bang up chargers. Maybe I will go through it sideways. Blizzard Denver five turnovers in between that and your lucky will Campbell jumped on two other fumbles to beat Houston in between with CJ Stroud.

15:24Meanwhile, Jane Daniels in the playoffs on the road win on the road against 15 and two Detroit win. Actually only down 11 with the ball in the third quarter against the Eagles. Stop it already. Sorry. You have to get that out Kelly. Yeah. I'd say maybe just give it more than a year for each of them. Well, what I would say. You know, here's what I would say to that. Well, counter to your counter is stop redrafting. Short term memories are incredible. People's fan who is incredible with short term memories. Kevin Ryan. The player who feared the most of the waste was Hadecki and he bet got her up to win. Imagine his emotions watching the action on the seventh on the 72nd hole in the playoff congrats. I don't have to imagine it because Kelly was telling me all about it beforehand. Oh, God. It was, yeah, it was something. I did. Yeah, I said it was set it on long shots. Decki was the last leave off and it was just, yeah, the last couple days. Tim Bowers. Congratulations. Tim Bowers. Thanks to my ANG education. I was able to see rather obvious live bet opportunities for Walker MVP. And for Myers over 11 and a half kicking points. Thanks. Also shout out to outdoor super bowls.

16:24The future of mostly dome super bowls will be boring. I agree. Real nicks. I'm so glad you brought up the Duncan spot. You're right. It wasn't funny. But really what really bothered me is all the actors were from old NBC sitcoms except Erkle. You telling me Todd Bridges couldn't use the money. A brown down a juggle in. I've heard you talk about live betting. Bananas in college football. But will we ever see another live betting opportunity as good as hitting drives to end in a punt last night. Over and over again. First half was an absolute win fall. Shocked books had plus money up so long. Will Hill did a great job of exploiting that really all. There's like eight no eight no with New England. I think he was awesome. Super Bowl 59. It was definitely a super bowl of all time. I'm not sure what that's about last year. Super Bowl. Shoot him a gambling. Do you think we'll see some teams try to copy the Seahawks and try to win with defense and running the ball. Problem with this strategies. We know that it's harder to replicate defensive success year over year than offensive success. We'll get some more tweets. I'll answer that by saying. I don't know if you know it's a copycat league. But you can't duplicate that necessarily.

17:26And I think it's still such an offensive league that we won't see other teams. They don't make Mike McDonald's. Yeah. Right. And I think that was speaking of tantrums for those of us who bet Mike McDonald coach of the area yesterday. It's like there's your evidence. Y'all voted for variable over that guy. And let me just say this about the Seattle defense. Nick M. Unwari, 22 years old Byron Murphy, 23 Derek Hall, 24 Riley Mills, 24 Drake Thomas, 25 Devon Witherspoon, 25 Ernest Jones, 26 Kobe Bryant, 26 Rick Wolland, 26 Julian Love, 27 boy Mafe, 27 Uchena, Novosos, 29 and the old guys Leonard Williams is 31 and DeMarcus Lawrence is 33. They're going to be good for a long time. Yeah. I mean, we've talked, we've talked a lot about what this, the defense is that the Patriots offense had to go up against. I mean, if you just think about play callers and Mike McDonald, you're talking about Kyle Shanahan completely made, made a look like a fool. You beat up on Sean McVeigh and Josh McDaniels, you absolutely dismantled in the, in the Super Bowl.

18:28That's an incredible run for a defensive coordinator. Sam Darnell Kelly becomes the first quarterback from that 2018 draft class to not only get to Super Bowl, but win a Super Bowl. Remember, that's the draft that Baker Mayfield got picked number one. Darnell was third to the Jets. Josh Allen went seventh to the bills. The chosen one, Josh Rosen went to the Cardinals 10th and then Lamar Jackson, the Ravens traded up to get him at 32. Not Josh Allen, not Lamar Jackson, not Baker Mayfield. None of them. Sam Darnell, Super Bowl champion. I think Rosen has still got a chance to get one, huh? Yeah. You never know. Rosen was. Rosen on Rosen rope. You know, he loves all kind of roles. You'll always have that game against Texas A&M. Darnell becomes the first quarterback to start for at least four teams. He started for five of them, by the way, then win a Super Bowl. Getting to the pressure. May was pressure. Drake May was pressured on 52.8% of his dropbacks. The most since next gen stats began tracking such data and he absorbed six sacks while turning the ball over three times on the night.

19:29Through three quarters. This is from, uh, uh, Jody, uh, Jody Epstein, Jory Epstein on Yahoo says May had completed just eight of 18 pass attempts. This is through three quarters. May was eight of 18 for 60. Patriots converted just two of 11 on thirds before the final period. Before the Patsaroo and Seattle's shut out bid with 1230 to play. New England punted eight times, fumbled another possession away before that. And witherspoon, Devon Witherspoon, the fifth overall pick in the 2023 draft had rushed the passer. This is the brilliance of McDonald. He had rushed the passer just 21 times in 12 regular season games this season. He hadn't rushed the passer, um, hadn't blitzed in either of the Seahawks prior playoff games. He blitzed six times yesterday generating a career high for pressures, including a sack. He was unblocked on all four of his pressures according to next gen. I want to guess three or four that he blitzed out. I didn't know it was that high. Drake. Drake May had no idea what was coming at any point. The, the, the one I keep, the one I keep circling back to after this game. Drake May was not good.

20:29The Seattle defense is great. We know that. Josh McDaniels, like you're supposed to be this great offensive coordinator. They were so little creativity answers. Like it, it very much looked like one team took the full two weeks to prepare for this game. And one team was like, wow, we're just going to roll out and do what we do. And had no answers for what Seattle was throwing at them in our Super Bowl betting guide, Kelly. I guess the final score to be 31 to 13. Seahawks. It ends up being 29 to 13 almost nailed it. Here are my pregame bets on the left. Some added. Some talked about most talked about right except for the first half and the win by eight plus which you got at Ben MGM yesterday. But everything else we talked about beforehand. And then all the live bets. So to answer your question for the last segment, were you ever worried that Seattle was leaving points on the board? No. No. Not for one second. And because of that, that guess of the score, I kind of knew when to stop also. Yeah. On it as well.

21:29This was a live betting bone was a spectacular game for those of us who had the, the directional thing right. Now it doesn't mean that some of the props worked out. Yeah, it's interesting. You say, I want to see something you said there though, because I, I got in twice on Seattle side. And I got in once on the under early, but nothing huge. And one thing you did say there though, there was always this, this, this voice in my head of like, there is, there is a point I'm going to stop at. And there was a point where I kind of stopped looking at those. Here are your, here are your props. First Kelly. Well done. Yeah. That was a good one. Five and a half home, nine and a half home. First quarter home. I thought he had a three to nothing. First quarter. I was like, yeah, here's a new England. It's going to score. They pointed right at the end of the first quarter. Uh, Darnell MVP. No dice. Uh, Kenneth Walker to recruit, uh, record for a sea ox reception. No. How about Barnard got it done though? That was, that was fun. Coming right out of the gotter up. Beautiful. I was like, oh, in that pass. You brought up the pass. How nice it was. Like, I couldn't believe he got through barely got there.

22:29Uh, may over rushing yards gets home. May more pass attempts in Sam. Darnell gets home. The sacks get home easy. No dice on total players reception under 13 and a half. I mean, Patriots threw it to like 13 people themselves. Uh, first touchdown Jersey number. We weren't, we didn't get, didn't get homes. Barnard got there in the third quarter. And then yes, sea hocks. He's money line, partly. So, uh, I started with the loss because Charlie Puth's national anthem did not get to, did not get anywhere close to 202, uh, to, uh, yeah. Uh, excuse me. To 122 seconds. Ended up being 113 seconds. I believe it was. I kind of assumed you were good. I checked in halfway through and he felt like he was going so slow. But it was it did, but it was a beautiful version coming back. Numbers game on fee set. These sports betting network football season may be wrapped up of the betting calendar, just heating up.

Where do we start? Where did I leave off? Oh, yeah. S six nine who says. The only thing I wanted Kenneth Walker to say post game was I'm about to get paid as he ends the final year of his rookie contract as Super Bowl MVP. Yeah, real quick. Just going back to the Super Bowl MVP talk. It was so clearly right when he had those two thirds. It was a 30 yard run of 29 year run. You could sniff it out right there like he was the leader in the clubhouse. The only other thing they could have done with MVP quite frankly. Was to do the Harvey Martin Randy White thing from Super Bowl 12.

24:34Was to say Devon witherspoon and Byron Murphy your co MVP. I am. That's the only other justified thing you could have done. I am so glad you brought that up because the. I did. I did take a piece of. A tire co co MVP is at 49 to one on college. I thought it was a chance. Well, people got to stop with the kicker stuff. But I almost even thought there. I didn't think there was any chance Myers was going to get solo. But I was like, maybe they even do like a Walker Myers Jason. Just because Jason Myers kicked those field goals. Doesn't mean he was the reason they won the Super. Right. It was it took me a long time. Go to even think Donald was definitely out of it. Well, when Darnell got the touchdown pass to AJ Barner. If you looked at the live numbers on Fandall at that point. And you this is what gets back to the point. They really want to give it to a quarterback and specifically to Darnell in this case. At that point, Walker was minus 110 and Darnell crashed to plus 310. That was as close as it got with Darnell. I was I kind of chuckle. He needed another touch.

25:34You need another one. Yeah. I kind of chuckle with that tweet though because I'm like, I don't. Kenneth. Kenneth Walker is one of these running backs. We're like, he's a good run. He's a good receiver. I don't know if he's graded either one and he can't pass block. But he like, he works perfect in the system. I don't know. Is the best player in the game. He was best player on that side of the ball. I just don't think running backs get paid. Like they used to it. And I don't know that Seattle is going to be rushing to make sure he gets paid. He becomes the first running back to get Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis in 1998. And he does it. Kenneth Walker without scoring a touchdown. Yeah. String fellow hawk won my field goal. Turn over and sack props. But lost all the over player props. Give some back to the books on this one. Aaron Bender. In game bananza like, but like me, he said Seattle minus four minus five and a half minus six and a half minus eight and a half minus 14 and a half. And my son bet New England six straight drives to end in a punt. Aaron Bender. You and your son. That's great. Perfection. That's awesome. All right, Brian Schaefer. I'm going to take you to task on this tweet. He says, let's not act like Seattle was a juggernaut. Their defense was good, but their offense was met.

26:35Nothing impressive. They're lucky. The wrong team made the Super Bowl. I believe Bill's or Denver with Bonix would have beat them. Still think Rams are the better team. All right. Let's dissect that. I think let's start with your last thing. The Rams were clearly the second best team in football this year. We can all agree on that, right? The Seahawks Rams trilogy was everything. In fact, if you look back, if you think about the whole season, what's the biggest thing? The biggest memory you have is probably that Thursday night game between the Seahawks and the Rams. It was three. It was three awesome games. It was the Super Bowl. It was the NFC championship game. But I got to say this. People got to keep keep saying it because this is what I said for two weeks. I'm not saying this after the fact. You don't have to believe advanced at sacredly. But as a guideline, they would have pointed you in the right direction here, right? Aaron Schatz had these Seahawks as the seventh best team regular season team since 1978, the DVOA era. Do I think they're the seventh best team? I don't. But do I think they're a really good team that was probably better than most people gave them credit for?

27:37Yes, I do. Now the Patriots and this I do believe, right? Because I said it after the championship game. So like, is this the worst team to ever make the Super Bowl? And Aaron Schatz, I pulled them from behind the curtain. He says they're the 16th worst since 1978. I believe that because they played the 30s as scheduled since 1978. So to your point that they played the wrong team, maybe they did, Brian. But the other teams didn't get there, man. The Patriots did. So I just think it was a year where everybody was flawed. And in the end, the Seahawks and the Rams were clearly, I think we can say the two teams that were the least flawed. I think it's, I think we noted it all season long. I think it is absolutely fair to say that about doing one schedule. I just said this every step of the way with New England though, even after this game, like, I don't, I don't really know where I ranked this team just because the playoff run was, like, it was ridiculous defenses, I mean, weather in the AFC championship game. Like, I don't know if this team's better than what we saw worse than what we saw or kind of exactly what we saw last night.

28:40Torch D, the one to put the satin in your panties. Y'all remember that time in 2023 when the scorching hot lions came to Baltimore and found themselves down 35 to nothing after three quarters. I do. He says, that's when I knew McDonald was a savant. Yes. McDonald, the defensive coordinator for their Ravens at that point, shoot him a game. And how happy was Sam Monson watching the game last night? Oh, that's a great call. Sam Monson, who, uh, from provable focus, who, uh, voted Justin Herbert first place in MVP, which some people were saying prevented Drake May from being MVP. And then Drake may lays the egg on yesterday. Chad's copper pot. Someone told me there was football game yesterday. Do you guys know what happened? He's going crazy with his CEO. Um, tablebacks that Walker touchdown easily could have changed the outcome of physics prop of the year. By the way, MGM initially graded that as a winner only to take it all back this morning. Oh, that didn't get home. I was, uh, I was trying to count that up at the end. I kind of assumed it got home. Which one are we talking about over kickoff? Oh, the over kickoff. Yeah. And I didn't look at it that closely. But by the time we got towards the end of the game, I was like, oh, Steve got on. I'll read more of these.

29:40I just want to go through my props. So while the, while the, the betting pre flop and live on the side was just a windfall for me. In the end, I didn't get Sam Darnold MVP, right? Turns out there was a path where the Seahawks won and Sam Darnold didn't get MVP. I think they, they obviously gave it to the right guy. If they weren't going to give it to the defense or a couple of guys on defense, then Kenneth Walker was absolutely the guy. I mentioned the national anthem, which I was, I was off on. I'm still stunned by that. I don't know. Like I switched to it. And it was like halfway through because I switched over from golf and I was like, I didn't even text you. I was like, you'll want this. Things that the slowest national anthem I've ever heard. I felt it was, but you know what? The quiet, he didn't, the choir didn't go off. The choir just did like an echo. Yeah, yeah. And that's what was the difference. Uh, Jersey number first touchdown score under 11 and a half loses because it was barner and it was late. Remember they just kept kicking field goals. This one was like up for grabs from most of the game. You know what's funny is I would say, I want to say, Gil, I would bet that again. I lost on that. I would bet that again. I would.

30:40But like not if you told me the first touchdown was coming in the third quarter. I knew that I would 300 unanswered scores. What do you know? It gets home again. That's wow winner winner chicken dinner every year on that. And then the, the one that could have turned my Super Bowl from great into stratosphereically great. Was the shut out at 50 to one, which again, a nod to Drew Dinsick. I hate myself for not betting the first half shut out at nine to one. The 50 to one, I never really quite thought it would get there. But man, 12 and a half minutes away. And it would have been ridiculous. I was thinking you were alive. I was in that mode of like, I am not texting Gil about this. I really hope Danny doesn't either because we had this little shade going. Uh, a text shade going at the. I'm kind of just chocolate about it now because you just got. I will. We want to crap on Drake made rightfully. So to just. Or just pass ridiculously beautiful passes. But again, the main theme of it was. There was nothing in the run up except I was all Seattle directional.

31:40And then as the game went on, it was all Seattle directional. So even though that didn't get home, it was just awesome. I do want to say this because I brought this up on the, uh, should have been more podcast last night. We will. And we'll, we'll talk about this after the Toronto Blue J's lost in game seven to the, uh, to the Dodgers, which is okay. Now in the case of the Blue J's pictures and catchers. Spring training. 162 game schedule. You hope to make the playoffs. Then you got to go through a playoff. Got led. Then you got to get, you know, to the World Series. The mountain you have to climb when you get oh, so close. And I'm just going to say this about the New England Patriots in the same way I said about the Denver Broncos. The Broncos who won a lot of games against a real, a lot of really bad teams. By two points here, three points there, one point there, four points there. And now the Patriots who played again, if you're to believe the Aaron shots, that'll go to again. Third easiest schedule since 1978. Well, guess what? In both cases now you're playing a first place schedule next year. There is never a guarantee that you get back.

32:41Mm hmm. There just isn't. And in the case of the Broncos, you will have now some, now that the Russell Wilson money is off the books. You can sign some free agents where you couldn't otherwise. But this is, it's a whole different ballgame. Again, after the 1984 NFL season, it's the most famous example. Dan Marino and the Dolphins lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl at Stanford Stadium. And everybody assume, well, Marino will get back not only one time, but multiple times. His career is just starting. It was the second year. 48 touchdown passes that year in the regular season. Unheard of. Never got back, man. I don't know if Bonix will ever get to a Super Bowl. I don't know if Drake may will ever get back. It is the mountain that you have to climb getting so close. Yeah. It's, it's just, that's, that's the way the cookie crumbles with this. Yeah, I mean, I guess I, I, this is where it's tough to say, but I think I'm feeling better. If you're comparing those to, I'm feeling better where you're at as a Patriots fan that a Broncos fan. I mean, look, what were the expectations for this season, right?

33:41I, most of you, if you are a Patriots fan, you think you have a quarterback. And how much do we make that is, that's the biggest deal in this sport? If you think you have a quarterback, then fine. We're talking about avoiding that 500 football with a mediocre quarterback always being stuck in a limbo in the draft. Like, I think they've got something to build up. They just didn't belong in this game. They never did. Point being Dolphins also believed that quarterback. Yeah. And he went to the Hall of Fame. Never got back. Coming back. College hoops with Greg Peterson next. Yeah. Numbers game on. He said these sports betting network numbers game. Live from circle resort casino downtown Las Vegas. Kill Kelly. We get tweets. We did both table max. That Walker touchdown easily could have changed the outcome for physics. Prop of the year. Oh, we read that one before. I'm sorry. Charlie D USA number one. I hit my charlée parlay. That's what he calls it. It calls his parlay charlée parlay. On that last play to Henderson over 25 passing yards. 24 yard pass play clinched it to yards prior.

34:4116 to one. 16 and a half to one. Mac Collins over 40 passing yards. The other like good for you. Charlie D. NCI 95 gambler. Thanks for the great Super Bowl coverage. Gill Kelly was a profitable Sunday. They could have been historic had New England point scored. Zero. Yeah. Me too. I also took no touchdown score in the game. But I can't really complain because I was on the right side of Henderson over to an half receiving yards. May under 37 and a half rushing yards. And over 13 and a half the longest rush. Enjoy your two weeks off kill. Oh, I will. Thank you. The James Lloyd. Did I miscalculate the anthem? I thought it was from the first word to last word. My stopwatch as it was way over. No, it was under. And we talked about this yesterday on the show. When it was when it re it was taken off the board. It went from my number at 122 to 125 seconds. Yep. Then it was taken off the board and it was reposted at 115. And I think you got to 116 in the last I saw it. And it ends up being by my stopwatch. 113 was not close.

35:41Um, this is from Richard per card. Wait, that was a super. I spent the whole evening prepping for today's show about MLB futures. Don't. Mike Alvarez. That's just listener on listener crimes. Uh, this is a name of Ryan's voice. What a game script had a couple 13 14 wagers hit first touchdown. 14 one silly boosted four leg on Henderson garbage yards at the buzzer to have a rather profitable night. Didn't hit much else. Benning the big game of tradition unlike any other. Everybody's pumped about. There's no. And Ben Handorf. Gill, I speak for my many Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Why do you have to bring the blue jays into this? Sorry about that. I apologize. Blue jays catch and strays this morning. Sorry, man. Apologize. I have no defense. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, let's have a little college basketball break. Greg Peterson joins us now. Part of the glue that holds this whole operation together. He's the host of a daily college basketball podcast called who coast to coast hoops, which he has done for over. I believe it's 2400 days. Yes. Greg, yes. Do I get the right? Over 2300 days.

36:41And while you guys were watching the Super Bowl, I was looking at Southland and me. I could swag action for today. So I'm fired up. Well, let's, let's, there was a baby before the Super Bowl was played. There was some awesome college basketball during the weekend, starting with Friday night between Yukon and St. John. St. John's ends up winning it. I could not help but feel though after that game that I started getting Yukon championship vibes. Am I off on this? Oh, no, not at all. And I took St. John's on the money line, but I do feel like this Yukon team is by far the superior team. It is a Yukon bunch that has taken a few losses in late January, early February and then got on to win the title game, what two years ago and three years ago as well. It's a Yukon team that is very, very complete. I think the big X factor for them is that if you look at them overall for the season, Solo Paulo is such a big part of that team from a season ago. He shot 40 plus percent from three points last year. He's only shooting about 30 percent this year.

37:42If he can have that iron out, if he can get that three ball to drop here in the final month, month and a half of the regular season into the NCAA tournament, this is a very, very lethal Yukon team and there's a lot of cases where a team loses the game and you leave pretty impressed like with Yukon. They've only lost the game that we saw on Friday against St. John's. They've lost against Arizona. That's when terrorists read their top free better was out of the game. This is still a bona fide contender and I much like a lot of the teams that lost over the weekend that maybe are in the top eight top 10 in terms of futures market. I still feel relatively bullish about all of them making a run. And then Saturday was just tremendous as well. First of all, Michigan stayed down in Illinois and over time was probably the game of the night in college who was on Saturday. Houston BBYU by 11 at BYU Carolina B Duke by three at Chapel Hill. Vandy had that sick comeback against Oklahoma that fell one point short after just being down a million late in that game.

38:43Um, I'm curious when you look through when you hear here's what I want to ask about all those games collectively. Can we at least knock? Let's say BYU out of the the championship contender sweepstakes. Can we do that at the very least? I still think that they can honestly make a little bit of a run even though they've lost for a straight mainly because when you've got a guy in AJ DeBonza was able to give you 23 points, you always have a chance. And when it comes to the NCAA tournament unlike any other sport, you just have no idea who you're going to see in the NCAA tournament. Like you can line up in baseball. It's like, oh, they're going to play this team in a three game series or a five game series or something like that. You can't do that in college basketball. Keep in mind what North Carolina made the title a few years ago. They had to knock off the 15 seed and same Peters to make the final four. That's the one thing that makes all these teams live in college basketball. That's what it tries to. That's what makes trying to make a take a look at these features. That's what makes everything just a little bit difficult in general.

39:46You just do not know what you're going to get in terms of draw. Like am I feeling bearish about BYU? Absolutely. Am I feeling great about them being a top 10 team in the sport? They're on the top 10 in my opinion. Can they make a run? Yes, because there's always that element of you have no idea what the heck you're going to get on your side of the break and come March. That's fair. But it sounds like we're sympathetic on the fact that they're probably when I list like 15 teams that I think in winter championship. They might not be one of those 15 unless the draw sort of goes their way. Let's just talk about when before we get to your fab five picks. Well, big game tonight undefeated Arizona. Go into Kansas. What do you think about this? It is so interesting because you've got an Arizona team that has been the top team in this sport. Let's call it what it is. They are undefeated. They have one on the road knocked off Yukon. They have knocked off at the very least five ranked teams. I think it might be six at this point. But you've got to build self Kansas team that has never lost at home on big Monday.

40:47You're right. I've seen this line at two and a half and I sort of split the difference. I made Arizona the one and a half point favorite. I think all good things come to an end. But you can make that for Arizona on their side of things. You can make that argument for Kansas on their side of things. So I took the two and a half points here. I think that be a very tough, very competitive game. Kansas continuing to get the job done on defense. Offends evil with their impetus and out there. A little bit suspect. But Arizona's a team that plays very fast. I anticipate some way came following so that one 52 total. I'm in on the over and I took the two and a half with Kansas. Don't necessarily want the money line though. Okay. Never lost on big Monday. People love that stat. You'll hear that stat a million times today. Yes. All right. Let's go watch this one. I'm very pumped. All right. Let's do it. Greg Peterson's fab five has nothing to do with Arizona. Kansas. He goes all around college basketball elsewhere though. What do you want to start? Great. How about if we do start with St. John's taking on Xavier right now that total. When I gave this out, it was more of 162 and a half 163 down to 161.

41:51I do like the under mainly because you've got a savior team that can't shoot. During 70 second and all of God's basketball. The guards are two point shooting process recognizes St. John's is a very up tempo team. And maybe they experienced a little bit of a hangover after that big win on Friday against Yukon, but I'm this has been a dominant defense. They're at home a top 20 team in terms of points allowed on a pro possession basis. They cut down on your clean possessions as well being a top 35 team in terms of turnovers generated on a pro possession basis. St. John's honestly the world's greatest shooting team either. So I'm in on the under and savior. St. John's. Bradley catching two and a half versus Belmont. I'd like Bradley here on the money line. Belmont has done a great job with their defense way from top 10 team in terms of points allowed on a pro possession basis. As a matter of fact, they shoot 42 and a half percent from three away from home. Here's the issue with Belmont though. They're outside the top two 90 in terms of turnovers on a pro possession basis on offense. And let's say that this is a tight game. Belmont is a bottom 40 team in the country with their free throw shooting process. Despite the fact that they've got one of the best shooters in the country.

42:52It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Bradley's a top 35 team in terms of generating turnovers on defense. I like Bradley here to spring the offset out there in old Illinois. How about southern Illinois, speaking of Illinois, southern Illinois versus Indiana state, the fighting Larry Burns, the Sycamores, total at 144 and a half. Yep, it was 144 and a half now. It's starting to get up to 147, 147 and a half. But I may by total more around 149, 149 and a half. So I still like this over. You're going to get a lot of possessions in this game. Both teams are outside the top 150 with regards to opponent's two point shooting percentage on defense. And both offenses really thrive with regards to being able to get the ball down low. I do think that you're going to get just a very up tempo game with southern Illinois top 75 team in terms of total possession is brave. So I'm in on that over. Valpo Drake total 143 and a half. I like this total under now. Drake has actually been giving up more points per possession at home rather than away from one, but Valprazo just can't shoot.

43:52They're outside the top three 40 in terms of their two point shooting percentage. But for this Valprazo team, they've been a top 100 team in terms of points, a lot on a per possession basis, low tempo game expected here. Valprazo outside the top to 35. It turns the total possession spring. Drake outside the top 200 as well. So I took a shot on the 143, 143 and a half to the under. And finally, UNC Wilmington catching one and a half versus Charleston. I would say you can bypass the points with UNC Wilmington. I like them on the money line. This is a team that has very dominant on the boards a top 40 team with regards to rebound percentage goes into the top 10 away from home. And Charleston, even with all the injuries that they've had and getting those guys back, they are outside the top three 40 with their three point shooting percentage getting man handled down low. I like Wilmington here on the money line. Greg Peterson, everybody. Greg, appreciate you, man. Enjoy the games tonight. Good luck with all the bets. You as well, Gil. Always appreciate it. Thank you.
