You can always check out the show Series XM, Channel 158, YouTube TV, the Vsend Watch App, and Radio Affiliates across the United States of God Bless America. We've got live action all across the board, and I can't help but laugh because I'm on both underdogs in college basketball tonight and neither of them really have a chance. It's kind of crazy. These situational spots, the last few weeks have been coming in left and right, bounce back situations or fading a team off a big win or a look ahead spot for squads. And every time that everyone else is on them, they come through. When I bet them, they do not. And right now, my bet of Iowa State, catching seven and a half, got a pretty good number, sought down to six and a half at Caesars, a little bit earlier tonight before it tipped off. And currently, number two, Arizona leads Iowa State, 64 to 48. Okay. And for Arizona, I got to stop fading this team. I do believe in them, but there's been so many chances during this season where I've bet against them. And they've made me look so foolish as Iowa State just does not look like the same team on the road here. And
that's back-to-back losses for them in the big 12 that you don't like to see. Just want to see how they're shooting from three as we start the show up because for Iowa State, yeah, they're shooting 24% from three. That's just not going to get it done. And Arizona's back to full health. They've got co-opied back, although he only has four points tonight as Arizona, doing a lot of their work from the charity stripe 19 to 22 from the free throw line, just 31% from three, 45% from the field. They lead 64 to 48 right now. They're laying 16 and a half. Total is 130 and a half. There's a game that closed at seven. It looks like seven is what I'm seeing. And 149 and a half on the total Arizona man. They're going to be one of the one seeds. It makes all the sense in the world while you want to back them, while you want to believe in them. They have depth. They are battle tested. They've played a very hard schedule all season long. And through the big 12, they are looking like the most dangerous team out of that league as we enter the month of March.
Right now, the other game earlier in case you missed it, the Duke Blue Devils took care of business 93 64 against NC State. I had nine and a half with the wolf pack at home. It was completely irrelevant very early in the first half where you knew Duke was the better team. And Duke has reached a stratosphere this year that is really historical. It's not just boozer, right? It's the way they play team defense. It's the way Shire is able to coach up this team. And I saw this on X right before we hit the air. Duke right now on Kenpom ratings. They are now up to a plus 40.81 net rating. What does that mean? That means that they are 40 points better than an average D1 team. I want to repeat that. According to Kenpom, Duke is now 40 points better than an average D1 team. We are having a renaissance of college basketball Arizona back in the fold. Duke looking like the clear number one overall in the country heading into the tournament. You've got Michigan who lost the Duke, but has plenty of great wins along the way. And then you have a team
like Florida surging right now. Yukon's getting on track. This thing is not wide open, like we normally expect it to be. But I do believe the level of play we're going to see in March. Madness this year is going to be in a different echelon because in years past, there were a lot of mid majors that you'd want to back. And I'm someone who loves to find those mid majors that are worth getting a big ticket on and seeing if they can make the run. Those mid majors, the superstars on their teams are now the numbers twos and the number threes on a lot of these big 10 big 12 ACC power schools. And that's why the product is so good. There are so many teams that are hitting their stride when it matters right now that if you want to look at some longer shots, I totally understand it. That's something I want to do. But it does appear that the best teams in the country, someone in that top four five range is going to wind up cutting the nets this year because they're just too good. They're too deep. And Duke is one of those teams, 93 64. And you have to understand the situation. You have NC state often embarrassing loss. You have Duke off the win against Virginia where people
thought Virginia was live. And oh, by the way, Duke recently lost in North Carolina. And that's who they face after NC state. It's also a rivalry game for the wolf pack who hate Duke more than Duke hates them. Duke doesn't even think about NC state. And yet it doesn't matter. Blue devils win 93 64. You're expected national player of the year. Camboos are 26 points. Nine rebounds. Three assists. A monster performance from him. Blue devils are good man. They're deep. They're defensive. And defense is the theme. As I start to look and add a few more futures tickets as far as college basketball is concerned, I am targeting great defensive teams. I think in the past I've gotten caught up with offensive juggernauts thinking that's going to travel in the dance. It's not when you think about the play that these these teams are going to go through the amount of games that they have to play day in and day out. The way there's short turnaround and a lot of these instances on these weekends. And then week to week, the preparation, the travel. The one thing you can rely on is defense is going
to travel because it's effort. It's X's and O's. It's a game plan. Sometimes shots aren't falling. And we've seen that in March, madness, plenty of times with the sight lines being new, some of the stadiums being different for these teams and the mismatches in terms of some of the length that teams aren't used to seeing that they do end up facing when it comes to the NCAA tournament. I'm focusing on defensive teams at this point in the season that I want to add or at least coaches that I trust are going to have a good plan on that end of the floor. But right now tonight, the two big games. I thought the dogs had a chance. Dogs didn't have a prayer man as Arizona is looking to close out. Iowa State leading now 65 to 48 there. In terms of the NBA, some interesting stories tonight in a really short slate of action. So in case you missed it in Milwaukee, Yannis Antitucupo has returned for the box. He played 25 minutes tonight against Boston 19 11 and two for the Greek freak as he returns the bucks squad today. They do lose though. 108 81 Boston was laying seven. They obviously
cover that very easily. And we go under the total of two 15 and a half in that game. Yannis returns, which is like, not sure why you're doing that right now. Milwaukee has the 10th pick in the draft. Milwaukee currently in terms of playoff seedings is right on the outside of the play in tournament Charlotte is that last team in the 10 seed Milwaukee is four games behind them. They must be pretty confident that they're not going to win enough games down the stretch of the regular season to blow their chance to get a really good draft pick this year, currently sitting in the 10 spot. Just a game ahead of Chicago. Now there's a huge gap between them and the team after that, which would be Washington who only has 16 wins. The bucks have 26 wins. But Yannis is back. Maybe the goal is to get some chemistry from here on out right to put some of this together and build on it for next year as some of these young guys Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins of playing well, AJ Green is cooled off a bit and Miles Turner looks like he doesn't fit with the rest of the roster. So I'm not sure Turner's going to be there, but the rest of the guys learning how to play with Yannis
going to be crucial because it does appear he's going to be there next year. They could have traded for traded him this year. They opted not to he sounds like he's committed. I think that's going to stick. I think Yannis is going to end up being a buck for life. Other game earlier in the association that went fine on Houston beat the Wizards 123 to 118 on the road in DC. Washington does cover. They were catching 15 in this game. We end up going over the total of 224 in a hook. Looking at the box score led by Alperin Shengoons 32 13 and 2 see that that annoys me. It was a great match up for Shengoon. But last night in the starting five where we look at NBA player props. I just said, you know, this could be a blowout. It's a 15 point spread. There's a chance he doesn't play in the fourth quarter. So I won't bet it. Well, Houston played around with their food for a little bit. Washington was able to make it a game. In fact, in the fourth quarter, they outscored the Rockets 38 to 29. That's how he ended up with a five point game. So Shengoon ends up getting the job done and he goes over on his props. Kevin Durant had 30 points for the
Houston Rockets. And I wanted to bet some unders and of course, Trey Johnson, who I wanted to bet under on, wasn't available to later in the day. And it was really low at around 15 and a half PRA. He only has five, four and three. Bill L Coolabali had 23 points for the Washington Wizards. Kishan George had 16 and Sharif Cooper 21 off the bench for the Wizards there. So as a lot of Wizards talk, I apologize. I went way too deep on that box score. All right, the other games currently in action. The jazz and the nuggets 10 for up 110107. They're on a back end of a back to back, embarrassing loss yesterday as three and a half point favorites against Minnesota. And tonight they were laying 10 on the road at Utah. Look at the jazz man. A team definitely not trying to win. Currently fifth in your lottery odds right now in terms of the standings to have the number one pick in the draft next year. And right now they're hanging with the Denver Nuggets who have all sorts of issues since the return of Nikola Yokich. Now he hasn't been the issue. He's putting up monster numbers, but they're not winning games.
They have a losing record since Yokich has returned to the lineup. That's concerning. I don't really know what to make of it. I don't know if it's the defensive side of things not coming together. I don't know if it's that they miss Aaron Gordon who hasn't played in a while. That would be the one piece that I do think is the glue that brings this squad together is what Aaron Gordon does defensively. And I'm just being that extra score on the other end of the floor. I do think they miss him one that once they get him back, Denver will be able to hit their stride. Jamal Murray has 35 points eight assists and two rebounds so far in this game as Denver's now up one 12107. We're losing a bet. In fact, we already lost it. We went filipowski under 90 under his PRA of 23 and a half. And he's got 19 points seven rebounds and four assists. So that one never even had a prayer. Can't they George did play in this game? He has 21 points for the Utah Jazz as that's where we stand with that game going on. The other late game in the NBA. The Warriors on top of the Clippers 5642. And you've got the Clippers on the back end of a back to back as well. Darius Garland
set to make his return for this team. Um, tonight he returned to the Clipper. I guess it's debut for the Clippers 11 minutes. He's played five points one assist for Darius Garland in this game. As the Warriors lead 56 to 42, we are sweating out Chris Dunn over on his 16 and a half PRA. At half time, he has seven, three and one. We're also on Moses Moody under on his PRA of 18 and a half. Yeah, that's not going to happen. He has 10 points to rebound to one assist. So we're looking at probably if Chris Dunn hits a three and two night in the NBA and an own two night in college basketball. That's not good for anyone. All right. That is not good for anyone involved. It's cashing out. I'm Dustin sweetlson Vsyn. V sports betting network. We got a fun show lined up for you tonight. Plenty to get to awesome guests along the way.

I'm Dustin sweetlson hanging out with you all meant long from the circus sports book in downtown Las Vegas. Arizona put in the final touches on Iowa state right now 73 55 43 seconds remaining like what was I thinking just lay the freaking woodman just lay the number with these favorites at this point they're undeniable Arizona's undeniable dukes undeniable Florida who will get to in a minute feels undeniable as well.
Is another impressive win along the way for Tommy Lloyd squad like really I every time I bet against them I say I'm not going to do it again and then the number comes out and I'm like you know it's a lot of points for them to be laying in this spot you know what they do they cover the freaking number that's what they do Arizona started their year with the win over Florida they beat UCLA in the non conference they won at Yukon in the non conference they beat Auburn and Alabama San Diego State and now they've gotten to this point in the season they're only two losses back to back late in the year in February at number nine Kansas against number 16 Texas Tech when they were at full strength and why was I doubting them I mean it feels really stupid and they are officially your big 12 regular season champions after today what a performance what a run and what a team they're going to be freaking diabolical in the NCAA tournament they can just beat you so many different ways and they're not reliant on the three ball when they need to they can hit it you know I wish they were a little bit better beyond the arc and maybe that's why I've doubted them and I've gotten too caught up in those three point numbers but they're efficient in the
paint they get to the free throw line and I think maybe in today's college basketball that might be a little bit underrated I mean they just crushed Iowa State 73 to 57 a lot of questions about Iowa State coming off this game too by the way that's too back to back losses for them and I tried to justify the Texas Tech loss as the red raiders didn't have JT top in on Saturday by saying well perhaps Iowa State was looking ahead to this matchup with Arizona it is very clear with the final score being 73 57 and Arizona covering the number of 7 7 and a half Iowa State indeed was not looking ahead Iowa State may be playing their worst basketball when it matters the most late in the year it doesn't help when Mela and mom mom Solovitch I almost said it right only has five points see that's that's an issue for this team because lip sees a stud guard who makes this engine go but Milan needs to be the guy that gets them going especially beyond the arc 17 points per game for him 50% from three he's a six eight guy he can get buckets yeah if he's not scoring I really don't
know what Iowa State's going to do in these contests on the other side Arizona tremendous man 23 free throws made out of 26 attempts six of 18 beyond the arc 33% they out rebounded Iowa State 40 to 33 absolute butt weapon man impressive showing from number two Arizona and I was listening to follow money follow the money earlier today and Mitch Moss made a really simple point I was like yeah he's right I regret it he's like I want no part of these dogs tonight even though I think it makes sense he was like I want no part of touching them in these spots against these two wagons in Arizona and Duke and he was absolutely right and at that moment I was like I wish I could take back my bets I wish I could take them back because it felt like something in the moment last night I wanted to be a part of and in the end it did not work out with that let's look back on the entire weekend in college basketballs we do every Monday with like love and love and I touched on Texas tech there and Texas tech is a team that a lot of people want to fade and I'm here to tell you it's not worth it they're not a team to fade they're a team to back in fact they may not have their
best player in JT Topin but they've gone three and oh without him and I thought the win at Iowa State with six players scoring in double figures told a story it told you that other guys were capable of stepping up in this team you got Christian Anderson is the best point guard in the country at well can score with the best of them especially beyond the arc both of them were tremendous in aims mostly in three games without Topin has 20 points in 40 minutes 9 to 13 from the field 20 boards seven blocks and they've got the best shop blocker in the nation but more importantly you've got a coach and Grant McCasteland as he might right now be a top five coach all things equal you give everyone the same roster I'm not so sure McCasteland doesn't get the most out of his team because one thing I like about him he plays guys in foul trouble he's also created with rotations and his lineups he's willing to throw different looks out there if it's good for a certain match up and you guys use guys in unique ways he doesn't just say these this is my starting five this is how I'm rolling out here these are the minutes these guys are allocated each night no he's willing to be creative in the way he deploys his team he's creative they're
aggressive he uses rotations and he's good at exposing mismatches and if you look at their schedule they've won four of seven games as underdogs outright Duke Houston at Arizona at Iowa State that's four top 10 wins the same number as Michigan Texas text 25 to one to make the final four I bet it last night I think this team is absolutely capable of getting capable of getting to the final four also you have to factor in despite not having top in it's a rest of a roster that's got a whole season of playing in the big 12 they're battle tested uniquely different than a lot of these other teams that are going to show up in the dance and have not gone through the slog of a schedule that the rate red raiders have I really like Texas tech 25 to one as a bet to make the final four do I think they make the final four no can they make the elite eight yes can I hedge at that point apps of freaking looply aren't taking a 25 to one it's cashing out I'm Dustin sweetle sin visin these sports betting network recapping the weekend that was with like love and love Texas tech is what I liked from the weekend here's what I loved now I don't love that I didn't bet it before
the weekend at 13 to one but the Florida Gators who are now eight to one to win the national title they won nine straight eight by double figures and this is a battle tested team in the sense that they have tested themselves in competition we talk so much about teams that win when they're battle tested I think Florida deserves credit for the way they've handled this season finding the way to be a potential one seat down the stretch after the way it started but more importantly being battle tested and learning from their losses so they lost to Duke on the road by one early in the year they lost to you caught on a neutral by four and they lost to Arizona by six early in the season but the key to this team has been the back court the back court has stepped up for Florida over the last month or two as boogie flan zavian Lee the transfer from Arkansas and Princeton have gotten used to playing with each other both at 11 points per game three to four assists per game for each of them and that goes with the size that Florida already has and Florida has a unique amount of size they've got Chenyelu who six 10 Thomas howca six nine condoms six 11 the backup
center is seven two if they're going to get production like they've gotten out of their guards and fland and Lee they're absolutely dangerous and Todd golden is a freaking tactician man he might be the new John B line you know Patrick Maher who I worked with for forever here I go on with him every night on decent live a mad dog sports radio he used to always talk about John B line John B line out of a time out John B line in a second half the way he adjusts the X's and owes the way he sees the game that's Todd golden now Todd golden is a guy that in the second half he takes away teams will to live in facing him this squad started out five and four their three point percentage has improved every single month to the point where they're up to 36.3 percent they're in first place in the SEC they beat number two BAM by 23 number three Arkansas by 34 seven of 10 teams that have registered a net rating of 35 or better have made the national title game four of them wanted Florida joins Michigan Duke and Arizona in that group with a net rating of 35 or better let's hear from the head coach Todd golden who talked about them writing their own
story after winning a title a year ago as I you know continue in my career you just realized that every year is different and every team is different and we're incredibly fortunate to return you know some really impactful players off a national championship team but you know it took us a little bit to get comfortable and to find our way and in the credit that this team deserves more than anything is staying together you know believing in each other when you know guys weren't playing at their best not pointing fingers you know our staff did a great job of you know keeping our guys aligned and on the same page and you know even as I said before even when we were five and four we thought we had a chance to have a special season if we just improved incrementally over the rest of the year and we've done that and you know I think we're playing as good a basketball as anybody in America right now yeah he's absolutely right they're low demand they're eight to one it's one of those bets that I think I'm going to regret not making if I don't take them at eight to one right now I'm going to regret not taking Florida at that price and then finally over the weekend what I love the Purdue Borla makers it's really simple the month is March which means you can't trust
Matt painter since 2021 when laying points in March Matt painter is now two and 16 against the spread as a favorite oh and nine covering when favored by less than nine he lost as a six and a half point favorite to Ohio state it was the book guys first quad one win of the year they're likely making the tournament because of that Purdue has lost to a few bubble teams Indiana who's probably on the outside looking in UCLA who's in and now Ohio state but you can't trust his team because they don't defend even though they have all the resume you're looking for when it comes to March badness veteran guard play three point shooting but if you're going to lose a game when Smith lawyer and Cox go 11 of 24 from three I don't know what else you can do differently because that's that's the recipe that's the formula you're looking for if you're Matt painter he's been there forever but forever reason it just doesn't work when it matters the most late in the year I know he's been to elite eights I know he's been to a title game in a final four the reality is he hasn't won anything and he was the number one seed or number one ranked team coming into the year and now they're 40 to 1 to win the title oh how the mighty have fallen with the Purdue boiler makers college hoop season

Welcome back to caffeine out here on vson these sports betting network. Dustin sweetlson with you all night long from the circus sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas final 30 seconds nuggets and the jask we get that game on in here guys one point game
126 125 with 30 seconds remaining nuggets with the lead I gotta see how this one shakes out Denver laying a number on the road what I say it was 10 I believe 10 was the number we confirmed that it was indeed 10 total 241 and a half as we are oh we're at 251 okay so we've gone over the total already but 30 seconds to go could the jazz pull off the upset there'd be a lot of explaining to do in that post game presser if you're David Adelman not just losing back-to-backs all right it's a difficult task but having a losing record with the return of Nicoli Yochich that is indeed an issue here for this team but more importantly losing at Utah no no no no no you gotta take care of business against a team literally trying to lose I mean that's what the jazz are at this point a team intentionally trying to lose every single night let me get you get the record on Yochich I believe it was five and eight coming into this into into this game since his return so he came back on January 30th and they are one two three four
well only four wins one two three four no five five and one two three four five six seven eight five and eight I was right just trust your instincts Dustin I don't know why I had to go go back and do that I literally wrote down five and eight yesterday but for some reason when numbers start popping up they just become a jumbled mess in my brain as do many other things but five and eight five and nine if they lose this game somehow here it's a one-point game they are winning with 30 seconds to go oh baby I need to know what happens in this contest warriors and clippers out for the second half gold and state up 63 to 50 they're laying eight and a half and game total down to 208 and a hook checking in on our bets in that one Moses Moody is at 10-2 and one we're on under 18 and a half PRA maybe this ends up being a blowout he doesn't play that much in the fourth quarter that would be huge but we also need Chris Dunn to go over he's at 75 and two we're on over 16 and a half PRA say that 12 13 14 he's only played 15 minutes but it is a back end of a back to back for them and I don't know I don't know if we're going to get there with
Chris Dunn could be a brutal day Darius Garland made his debut for the clippers he's played 12 minutes five points thus far one assist he's one of three beyond the arc so that's where we stand with the NBA action going on right now I'll keep you posted on how everything transpires but right now we got to hit the top stories in the NFL news on quarterbacks a situation with Jeremiah love looking like a guy who may go higher than anticipated it's time for the three-point stance the top stories in football every single day this is three-point stance a little bit of action here in trade in the national football league on March 2nd as the Texans have acquired Lions running back David Montgomery they send offensive lineman juice that's a great name back the other way Montgomery comes to Houston where they were unable to use Joe mix in his second year down there because of injuries Montgomery's going to
be really nice for CJ Stroud as a dependable run game to keep defenses honest take some of that burden pressure off of Stroud with a guy who can tote the rock 20 times he's a physical runner between the tackles he breaks tackles he's great at the goal line he's 29 years old there's probably another two years of prime left remaining and over the last two years he scored 20 touchdown he's run for 1500 yards he's got two years left on his contract and right now Houston is your favorite in the AFC South they're plus a dollar 60 their win total set at nine and a half most of that defense should be back what I believe was the best defense in football last year CJ Stroud is your question mark but with Nico Collins and Tank Dell and some of the weapons on the outside if they can really develop this run game I do anticipate Houston being absolutely legit next year and then the biggest impact from this trade is that David Montgomery leaving that backfield in Detroit it has shifted the odds for offensive player of the year Jamir Gibbs is your favorite now at seven to one Jamar Chase is nine to one Bajon Robinson is nine to one as
Jamir Gibbs looks like he is going to be in every down back for the Lions and I think that's the right call you have a Ferrari let's use him let's be able to use him in every gear and let's let him do his thing and get you know 25 on the ground 10 through the air whatever it may be however you have to get Jamir Gibbs the football that should be the goal for the Detroit Lions next year although this was a smart trade by Brad Holmes you sell on a 29 year old running back you don't really need you have other issues on this roster that you need to get good in the cap to be able to fill this was a good move by both teams I give both of them credit and I think they're both going to be better for it 126 125 year score in Denver and Utah we are looking at how much time left 16.3 remaining in this game so Denver trying to hold on here up by one on the road in Utah trying to not fall apart here in the second half five and eight straight up with Nicole Yokich in the line up right back to the NFL the top stories and a lot of news surrounding the quarterback position for starters you've got SNY's counter Hughes reporting quote it wouldn't be a surprise if the
jets explore the possibility of acquiring Kyler Murray this off season so according to Hughes Murray was a player whose name surfaced repeatedly in league discussions at the combine in Indie last week looking at Colchie we've had some movement here Minnesota is the favorite still at 26 percent the jets are second at 23 percent then you have Atlanta at 17 Miami at 11 Cleveland I'm sorry Pittsburgh at 10 and Cleveland at seven those are the teams right now that are favored to acquire one Kyler Murray so we've seen a slight movement as far as the jets are concerned want to get you what the number was yesterday because I did have that written down for Kyler Murray as he's going to likely be released here by Arizona they're not going to be able to work a trade because he's such a bad cap hit and he's really not a special quarterback for going to be fair about the situation but I do believe if he goes the right situation he could have a solid season next year the question is what
is that situation I need a creative offensive mind a coordinator I need weapons and I need a run game because asking Kyler Murray to throw the ball 35 40 times that's a recipe for disaster if you ask me yesterday the jets were 18 percent they're 23 percent today Minnesota was 35 percent they're 26 percent today so perhaps the rumors cooling on Minnesota being that team that's going to acquire one Kyler Murray some other quarterback news coming out of the combine Adam Schefter of ESPN said it's 50 50 that the cult to be able to get a deal done with Daniel Jones by their deadline tomorrow remember DJ Torres Achilles in week 14 win total for the cult said at eight and a half if it's not Daniel Jones next year I'm not sure what they do and I think the pretty obvious thing for Chris Ballard to do is you franchise tag Daniel Jones and you pay Alec Pierce a contract and extend him and make Daniel Jones prove it another year especially coming off a big injury that's what you have to do if you're Indianapolis I don't know if that's what they're going to do but that's what you have
to do in my opinion now the Minnesota Vikings who I just mentioned they're in the mix for a lot of quarterbacks there's rumors in the past about Kyler Murray there's been rumors about Mac Jones although the athletic reported earlier today there is not a robust market for back Jones right now but I think Minnesota is the best fit especially if they don't want to pay the price for Kyler they don't want to go get a Derek Carr coming out of retirement from New Orleans I think Mac Jones is a good fit he's very similar to Sam Darnold the build the throw type the ability drafted high giving up on Mac Jones is actually popped a little little bit more than Sam Darnold did both spent time in San Francisco under Kyle Shanahan Minnesota's win total is at seven and a half the juices on the over minus 140 I think that's anticipating a good quarterback move for the Vikings here I might get ahead of that wind total bet over because they're going to be improved at the quarterback position as they try to move on from Jay Jamacarti and then Jeremy Fowler went on the damn Patrick show and said to a tongue of I lower is one of the second tier options for the Vikings this year I don't know
why two would be an option for anyone like legitimately he can't throw the football why would you have a quarterback who can't throw at 25 30 yards in the air he's damaged goods at this point if you're expecting to win you can't go and get to it I don't care how cheap it costs you and then finally your last story out of the three-point stance Max Crosby looks like he's going to be on the move Albert Breer SI with the report today quote lean toward a Max Crosby trade happening maybe this week the teams that he highlighted Dallas Chicago Baltimore Buffalo New England Philly and the Rams first of all if the Eagles and howie Roseman pulled this off just name him the greatest NFL GM of all time if he somehow gets Max Crosby because that would be quite a coup I think that Dallas would be awesome I think he'd be a great fit with that new look defense with the moves they made last year where they brought over a couple of guys in season Quentin Williams they had Kenny Clark in the trade from Parsons I think they're going to be a lot better defensively this year Dallas I'd love to see Crosby go there but from a cap situation I don't know if it's possible Chicago is a great
fit and New England has a lot of money if they want to pay him I think New England could be a great spot for Max Crosby there so that rounds out the three point stance your top stories from the national football league well here from Todd McShay later on on the show he had thoughts on Jeremiah love who had an absurd combine running a 43640 at a size similar to a B. John Robinson bigger than a Jamir Gibbs and just as fast and faster than one of them at least Jamir Jeremiah love I went from thinking he was probably going to be picked in the middle of the first round where there's a chance he doesn't make it out of the top five get ready to win a larger than life world soccer championship experience only at circa resort and casino in Las Vegas one lucky winner scores a two-night stay at circa a VIP cabana for the games at stadium swim with $500 in credit plus $250 in food and beverage and are now and kick off the world soccer championship at circa resort and casino for giveaway details visit cirka loss Vegas dot com today in fact we will hear from Todd McShay

welcome back to cash you now here on vson these sports betting network Dustin sweetles and with you from the circus sports book downtown lost Vegas it's cashing out on vson v sports betting network you can always check out the show Sirius XM channel 158 YouTube TV the visa watch app and radio affiliates across the United States of God bless America three of our NBA games have gone final in the four game slate on a Monday Denver pulls off the win 128 125 against the Utah Jazz they do not cover though Utah covers catching ten at home and we go over the total of 241 and a half that is now a six and eight straight up record for the nuggets with Nicola Yokech back in the lineup perhaps I was panicking too much we will see how that plays out it does feel like a team in Denver that is one of those teams that we're going to be talking about quote unquote turning it on when it matters in the post season right you look at the market right now in terms of teams to win the title we know Oklahoma
cities legit they're dealing with inner injuries by the way SGA is going to miss again on Tuesday that's going to impact the MVP race in fact how is it move since then he's still minus 220 I don't I don't really understand this Yokech is plus 450 which I don't understand either with the losing record since he's returned they won when he was out with an injury I still think Cade Cunningham's your MVP at seven to one I think when Vinyama's a little worth a look at 21 I wouldn't argue against Jalen Brown I don't think the two top guys in the MVP market should be priced the way they are I just don't buy it SGA may not meet the threshold but more importantly Oklahoma City wins when he's not in the lineup now he is having a remarkable year when he's healthy I understand why he is believed to be the MVP because everyone looks at this as the best player award but how can we call him the best player if his team is consistently winning when he's not in and then when he's out he's not really necessary he is not vital to what they're doing as awesome as he is they're still a good team without okay I get obsessed with this I get caught up with this in every single sport I'm always wrong by the way I should point out but I'll never stop I still look at this award
specifically they name it as the most valuable player for a reason they don't call it the most outstanding they don't call it the best player and if we're going to just go well Yokech is the best player in the world every year sure we can say that but he's dealt with injuries this year I still think that the top two guys should not be priced as high as they are specifically SGA at minus 220 and Yokech at four and a half to one I don't my brain can't process it I it just it doesn't compute for me and again anyone who thinks that it this is correct is kind of boring and maybe doesn't watch the games closely that would be my thought as far as the MVP is concerned but anyway that game went fine on 128 125 last game currently in action you've got golden state and the clippers going at it as hard as they can it's a three point game warriors laying two and a half right now as they lead 73 70 to 11 and a half is your total golden state clothes as a one point favorite so we're not that far off here but the clippers on the back end of a back to back and by the way quite plain in the second game of a back to back he has 16 points in 23 minutes six rebounds to assist not used to this but got to give the clippers credit although they're 28 31
of the year I'm not sure where it's all for it doesn't really matter as they are clearly building for the future with the moves they made for Garland and Benedict Matherin but I'm sure Kauai still fits in somewhere I just I don't really understand this roster has oh it looks like we did cash ticket finally we needed that my god uh chris done went over on his PRA he has 11 six and five so that puts him over 16 and a half it doesn't matter we're still gonna have a losing day not gonna act like things are going well Moses Moody though we're on the under for him and he's at 10 3 and 1 in his PRA so that's 14 we're on under 18 and a half PRA can we get home because it would really make the night a lot better as we're own two in college basketball and right now we're three and one in the NBA if we could go let's see four and three oh my god that would be miraculous the way things started so we're rooting for a four and three day things have not been going well for your boy uh in case you saw in the circa college hoops challenge I did go three and two over the weekend I'm no tim Murray I didn't go 401 not Paul Stone went undefeated again could he please lose one leave a little bit
for the rest of us here Paul uh we'll be better next week uh there was there was some plays that I looked at this this past weekend where I was like yeah I think that's what everyone's gonna be on so I try to avoid them I'm just gonna take what I like next week that's what we're gonna do and I'm gonna get them in as early as possible because knowing me there's gonna be a time where I panic it's 7 30 in the morning before they're due at 8 a.m. and I'm not going to be able to get them in but that's where we stand with that the the two big college basketball games case you missed it Duke took care of business against NC State on the road in Raleigh 93 64 they covered the eight and a half we go over the 152 in a hook and then easy game for Arizona against Iowa State 73 57 they win while cats were laying seven and a half total 149 and a half we go under with that and then we also have the horizon league playing game Cleveland State as a two and a half point dog beat Indianapolis here uh they advance into the tournament we go over 169 and a half there interesting movement though Cleveland State open minus two closed plus two and a half so that's
what four and a half points of movement on that spread and Cleveland State ends up being the right side the opposite of the steam yeah you know sometimes with these leagues that people aren't paying attention to all season long sometimes you think you have an angle and everyone just kind of follows the herd and they push that number up and it ends up being completely wrong speaking of the smaller leagues we'll look at the horizon the sun belt and the patriot who get started on Tuesday a little bit later on in the show plus we have to hit the world baseball classic it gets started on Tuesday night will be on the air for Taiwan taking on Australia but we'll do a full preview of the entire uh tire tournament as I have a few plays that makes sense to me we'll talk about some history because I was kind of surprised when I looked at the MVP who it's gone to the last few uh few years kind of surprised by how it's gone plus uh we got more coming your way in terms of guest Eric Froton on the combine coming up in hour number three and speaking of the combine I there's a lot of people who had really good days right the Ohio State guys had great days at the combine there were plenty of receivers that had solid days but maybe nobody had a better day
than Jeremiah love the running back out of Notre Dame as he ran a 436 40 people he six feet tall and two hundred and twelve pounds I thought they were gonna call him a bruiser and defend him running like a four four eight or four five because he's so big no apparently he's a burner man he's just as fast as Jameer Gibbs and he's much bigger he's faster than Pajon Robinson and he's just slightly smaller by three pounds that's what we're talking about with Jeremiah love time McShea who's evaluated prospects for a long time he went on up in Adams fandal network with K Adams and had this to say about Jeremiah love to see the way he's able to run routes and to see that 436 legit like right there posted for us at his size um he's he's just he's special and I think let's look you look at the top of the draft right we all agree that Fernando Mendoza's going number one to the Raiders after that I think it's going to probably be an edge rusher to to the jets jets maybe sunny styles gets into
that mix but then you look at Arizona at three Tennessee at four even the giants at five with scatterbook coming off of that injury right I don't think Jeremiah love gets out of the top five and it won't shock me if he's the third pick in the strap some movement in the market at draft kings for Jeremiah love yesterday the favorite was the Kansas City chiefs to draft Jeremiah love which I think a lot of people thought because they have so many other pieces in place my homes off the injury let's give him a run game they've never had a premier running back in this era of my homes and Andy Reed but Kansas City's picking nine and based on the performance we just saw in everything Todd McShea just said Jeremiah love might go higher now I don't believe in taking running backs high I don't care how good they are in fact Jeremiah love is no say quam bark Lee in terms of testing pre combined say quam bark Lee was the freak of all freaks and look what that did for the giants you need infrastructure if you're drafting a running back that is a luxury pick you need to have everything else in place I'm talking about offensive line quarterback we're talking about the defense needs to be loaded and ready to win right now then you plug a running back in
and you run until the wheels come off off that rookie deal if you're a team picking at the top of this draft the reason you are there is because you lack infrastructure the Tennessee Titans I'm sure because they have a defensive mind ahead coach and Robert Salah and they've got a second year quarterback in cam ward who they don't want to be a sitting duck in the pocket throwing it 35 40 times they're looking at Jeremiah love and saying hold on he will take the burden off of our quarterback you don't have the pieces to utilize him properly ashton genty just went to the Raiders and now the Raiders were a bit far off than Tennessee in my opinion because the Titans already have a quarterback but you get my point they didn't have the old line they didn't have a defense there's no point having a running back if you can't run the ball in the fourth quarter which if you're always losing you're not running the football I don't understand Tennessee being favorite a two to one unless there's just really good intel out there it would be super foolhardy of them to take him even though I think he's a home run he's the safest player in this draft on the offensive side of things he is going to be a stud pro
bow quarterback that doesn't mean a result in winning that doesn't mean it ends up with winning super balls and you could fill a premier position talking about offensive line edge rusher corner pieces that you can't just add in free agency that's what you need to do when you're picking in the top five Tennessee's two to one I don't like it Washington at plus two 45 I understand them being that high they pick seventh and they have a lot of issues on defense but the reality is they have so much cap space they could spend all their money in the offseason on defensive players plug in Jeremiah love have him in the backfield with jaden daniels that's a dangerous proposition for teams to defend so I understand them being that shorter plus two 45 if I was going to look at a long shot in this market I still think it's the Minnesota Vikings they don't pick until later on in the first round but I think Minnesota is a team that because they have a defense and they're going to find a quarterback and they have a solid online they plug Jeremiah love they could be a super bowl contender next season.
