Broadcasting from the Circus Sports Booking Downtown Las Vegas, I'm Dustin Sweetleson. Thanks for making us a part of your night. However, you may be tuning in, Series XM Channel 158, YouTube TV, the Visa Watch App, and Radio Affiliates Cross United States of God Bless America. A lot going on across the board. We got a little bit of basketball, a little bit of baseball. As a World Baseball Classic has Australia up three, nothing on the Czech Republic. As we head to a believe that was the end of the eighth inning. Let me just double-check here, but I do believe we are heading towards the ninth inning now. It does not appear we are going to cash our bet on Australia over six and a half team total runs. They're up three to one, and the game total is now four and a half. At this point, I would think about the under four and a half, but I don't know who Czech Republic's throwing out there, and I don't know if Australia is very motivated to tack on any more runs. So, we'll just sit pat with that coming up. We got a few games coming up tomorrow that jumped out to me on a huge card. And some names you're going to recognize starting for these teams. So, we'll discuss that later on in the program as far as the World Baseball Classic is concerned.

In the NBA, a couple of live games currently happening. New Orleans on top of the Kings, 114-105, Pelicans laying ten and a half, total is 250-and-a-half. We are not going to hit our bet on Maxime Raynaud over 10-and-a-half boards. He only has five, which is a really good matchup against a small ball. New Orleans front court, but he's just not grabbing rebounds right now. So, I don't know what's happening there. Denver's out to a ten-point lead on the Lakers. Shit about this. The Lakers can't beat anyone with a pulse. And Denver right now, they have something to prove because they have not looked great since Yokech returned from injury. And this would be a good win for them with the Lakers coming to town and taking care of business up by ten right now. They're laying eight and a half, total is 238-and-a-half in the contest. Let's see, we're at what, 178-186, with 1027 remaining 186, I'd lean over, actually. I kind of like the over. As Jamal Murray misses a shot, we're on Murray over on his 36-and-a-half P-R-A.

And right now, Murray's got 26-6-and-1, so we're looking at 33. We should be able to get home with Jamal Murray, who's on a heater, man. And by the way, Nicole Yokech has a casual triple-double. We like to take it for granted at this point. He just shows up, has 2010 and 12 on a regular day basis for Nicole Yokech. It's just what he does at this point. It's pretty freaking wild. So I'll keep you posted on what happens in the NBA and a lot to update you on as far as the college basketball is concerned with the conference tournaments. By the way, today, Missouri Valley conference unders, the trends continued. Since 2010, 90 and 49 to the under. The last two tournaments, 16 and four underrun, and let me count it. Drake and Southern Illinois 67-63, that is under 140-and-a-half, Drake 1. Valpo beat Indiana State 63-62, that is under 140-and-a-half. Evansville and Northern Iowa, Northern Iowa 168-59. The middle was lower, 128-and-a-half.

And we have another under. Three and a-on the unders in the Missouri Valley conference. Do we just blindly bet them coming up tomorrow? Will the market really adjust here? At this point, I don't know if the market's ever going to get there because we're talking about it. We're going back with the last two trends, including today, we're at 19-4 underrun in this conference tournament. So that is the big story as far as that is concerned. The high in the Patriot League won on a buzzer beater from half-court, actually slightly on their side of the half-court line. They won 69-66 earlier today, some of the other big scores. Navy the favorite in that league won 74-69 over Bucknell. So they did not cover the 15-and-a-half point spread in that contest. And St. Thomas, the favorite in the Ohio Valley, they took care of business against South Dakota State 80-67. They cover the 4-and-a-half. That game went under the total of 150-and-a-hook. And those were the main ones I wanted to touch on here before we get to some of the top stories in Major League Baseball.

With that, let's shift gears and start with the diamond dish. There was an interesting signing that happened earlier today. And that's Andrew McCutchen agreeing to a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers. At this point, his career, Andrew McCutchen really isn't a difference maker in terms of his bat and what he brings to the table as a player. But as a mentor, as a leader, as a great clubhouse guy, this is a home run move. If there's any little bit of juice left in that bat for him to make this team, it's a good move for the Texas Rangers who have a bunch of young players. You know, a couple years have moved from a world series, but not all of these guys were involved in that run. He'd be a really nice stabilizing force, 39 years old. He's been in the big league since when, 2009. And the last time we saw him was with Pittsburgh, he'd spent the last three years back in the team that he came up with. And he still hit 13 home runs at 38 years old, he drove in 57, like there's a little bit there. He had 22 doubles. I was a nice move for a team that wants to take the next step in an Al West where you

look around and Seattle's the favorite for a reason at plus one tend to win the West. And I love Seattle because of their pitching. The offense is good. It's definitely better than it was this time a year ago, but Texas has the potential. If everything can come together for them to be the most dangerous, because if you maximize it to gromm as you're warm, and you have of all Diaz the two and McKenzie Gore continues the role as a three, that is a dangerous trio right there. And then you're dealing with a lineup for the Texas Rangers where Brandon Nemo comes in to be a table setter. Why it Langford is going to see so many more fastballs. Corey Seager needs to say healthy, but when he's there, all he does is rake. I think this team offensively is going to be able to hang with everyone and adding a guy like McCutchen. I just think it's going to improve some of these young guys. Josh Young. Jake Berger, who's not really that young anymore. He's been around for a while, but he could use a veteran presence like that. So here's a video of McCutchen after signing with his kids toy horse dressed as a cowboy walking through that house looks sick. I'm not going to lie. And that's what you're bringing to the table.

And for a long baseball season, you need guys like this. Guys who've been through it before, who's been in pen and races, who's made all start teams. And those would have takes to be successful and still can swing the bat just enough. I really like this as a veteran addition for the Texas Rangers. In totals 83 and a half, they're plus 340 to win their division. They're 13 to 1 to win the pennant. I like all three of those things. They're going to be trendy. But this is a boomer bus situation. If these guys stay healthy and they meet their potential, I think Texas is about as good as almost anyone in the American league. The next story staying in that division is a team I want to fade in the Houston Astros. When total set at 86 and a half, they're two to one to win the West. They're nine to one to win the pennant and they're 22 to one to win the World Series. What is respect on name brand value alone? These are not the Houston Astros of years past and they're going to be dealing with some injuries as we head into the season. They're shortstop Jeremy Payne, who had a breakout season a year ago offensively. He's always been great with the glove, but finally put the bat together. He injured his finger and because of that, he's going to be reevalued in two weeks.

We don't know where he's going to stand with that and that's an injury that can really affect you, especially swinging the stick. And this is a team that I'm not really sure I trust them offensively this year because they're mixing in a lot of new parts and they don't have the pop that they want to have. They welcome back former shortstop Carlos Correa to play third base. And if Payne was to miss time, he'd fill in a shortstop, but you're not Alvarez can't stay on the field. Jose Altuve is only getting older as he shifts back to second base after trying to play the outfield last year. Now this at least opens up a spot for ESOC parades to hit in the middle of this lineup. But I thought he's a guy that they were going to have to deal. I don't like the bottom of this lineup. Dept had been such a vital part of this Astros run for a long time. And the pitching leaves a lot to be desired on the back end of the rotation. Hunter Brown pitched like a borderline Saiyong candidate a year ago, Christian Javier coming off injuries in a down season or two. They brought in Tatsuya Amai. And I'm seeing reports that his splitter is filthy in spring training workouts.

But let's see how that happens in actual games. He's a 28 year old rookie coming over here, Lance McCuller's returns from injury. And then also you've got Josh Hayder, who has a bicep injury and he is not thrown yet in spring training. I like it the rest of this division. Seattle has gotten better. Texas has gotten better. I'm just not big on the Houston Astros this year. And I think this could be a season where they finally missed the postseason for the first time in a very long time here. I don't like the vibes out of Texas. Caching out. I'm Dustin Sweetleson looking at the top stories with the diamond dish in Major League Baseball, which brings us to the third team here that I want to discuss that we really haven't touched on yet this preseason. The Tampa Bay race are dealing with a few injuries, OK, nothing major so far. Gavin Lux, who they added former Dodger, former Red, he has an upper body issue. But according to Kevin Cash, he's likely to play in his first spring spring training game this week. Cash also said Cedric Mullins who has a bad back is better, but he's probably not going to play for a little bit as well. I feel like the Tampa Bay race off season has completely flown under the radar.

And that makes sense. It's Tampa Bay race. I mean, they're always under the radar. And this could be a post type team this year. They're win total 77 and a half. They're 30 to one to win the division. They're 35 to one to win the pennant. They're 90 to one to win the World Series. Now those last few big numbers, probably not willing to get there, but 77 and a half on the win total. When you're going to an organization that knows how to maximize talent, that feels like a low number. In years past, you're normally talking yourself into players that the race have developed, that they're trying to convince you and their teammates and their fan base that they're able to be viable major leagueers on a good team. But this year, if you look at the off season that Tampa Bay had, you know what they did? They went out and got guys that have experienced that maybe have underachieved lately, but have a ton of talent. We've seen them be really productive good players, whether that's to trade them at the deadline or at the end of their contracts, or if it's to compete this year, either way, I think there's a team that goes over 77 and a half wins. They added Gavin Lux, who's versatile contact guy.

Yet you add the analytics department of the race. I feel like they maximize his potential. Then you add Cedric Mullins and center again, a guy that a few years ago was a stunning center field. If they can get his power back and he could be that dual threat. This lineup is fascinating to look at and then the rotation drew Rasmussen is a borderline ace. I don't think he gets enough love because he doesn't go deep into games. And then Ryan Peppioat has a ton of talent. Shea McClanahan returns from injury and they added Nick Martinez and Stephen Mats. And if the Tampa Bay race are looking and targeting on bringing in specific pictures, it's because they see untapped potential that other teams haven't seen. There's a world where Stephen Mats or Nick Martinez absolutely put something together here and do something impressive. Because of that and they're bullpened, they're always finding pieces that work. I like Tampa Bay over 77 and a half wins. We got another run in Australia and Czech Republic, ninth inning, one out and one runner on. It's a four one game.

Aussies with the lead. We need team total over six and a half. All right. When we return, we're going to play a little visor that Eastern Conference Finals MVP. These two players are priced the same and it doesn't make sense to me. I'll tell you who that is next. You're here because you want an edge.

Send these sports betting

network. We're on the Australia team total against the Czech Republic over six and a half ninth inning one out bases loaded five one score and whoever's on the mound for the Czech Republic. And let's be real I looked at the roster earlier today. There isn't a name I recognize I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about him. The only thing I do know about him right now is he can't find the strike zone. I think he's walked back to back hitters. That's how we've ended up with the bases loaded and he cannot throw a strike there at five to one bases loaded a no for a moment. My sportsbooks said it was six to one and now it's back down to five to one. I wonder if they weren't paying attention here asleep at the wheel and Australia is now laying five and a half in a game that they they were big time favorites in this contest because they actually have guys in the majors like they have the guardians number one overall pick. Bazzana who home or yesterday in their game against Taiwan. But right now if we could somehow cash this bet you're gone. I will butchug a fosters beer if I have to if that means cashing this over six and a half

because it looked dead in the water for the last couple of innings and this dummy just flew out to left and it's short. Oh God, they're going to test the arm and left field to throw home. Is he out? Is he safe? He safe? All right. That's six one. It's now six to one here. Oh, and there's two out and there's two on. I need one more run. I need a couple more walks. I need a bleeder. I need a bloop. I need a run here. And I'm going to need a fosters apparently if this cat if this this this bet does cash. But good God. What a freaking game. Ninth inning. I really want this one to get home. We'll do more on the world baseball classic a little bit later on in the show as I place three bets including something I've never done in baseball, which is a pre flop plus three and a half in a baseball game. I felt like I was betting soccer here. They're replaying the slide home. Yeah, he was safe. Stop toying with me here. He was safe. Let's move on everyone. Let's move on as we await. I just want to stay with this play and we'll do a little this or that here in a moment.

But why are they reviewing this? Come on. They are taking forever, man. All right. I'm going to have to move on here. Well, I'll keep you updated on the situation with that game because I do need the over six and a half. Oh my god. Anyway, without further ado, let's get to this or that something I want to do on Thursdays going forward, which by the way, quick update in Denver. It's no a 107 101 game nuggets with the lead on the Lakers. So I want to see what the in game number is here because it might be worth laying it with Denver with 506 to go. It is six and a half. They're up by seven. The Lakers don't play together and I hate to be chalky here and I've had a very mixed bag day. Very, very right and very, very wrong. Not a lot in the middle here for your boy, but let me see what I can get on this sportsbook right now that I'm opening up seven and I don't want to lay seven and a half. I prefer to lay six and a half. I'm going to leave it alone until something else happens in the game as it looks like Denver

shooting some free throws and they're making them. We're going to break in the baseball game. So I don't know what's going on here. My idiot sports, dude, the sportsbook flashed for a second to seven to one. What is going on? Get it together. I got money on the light here. Good God. It's now back to five to one and the ninth inning is they make a pitching change. How can you change the score? Figure it out. Your one job is to know the score. Killin' me. Sorry. I didn't even go that hard on the bed. I just don't like bad information. Like what if I reported it's now seven to one on the sportsbook and the game that's not happening? It literally said six to one and seven to one in this segment. That's preposterous. So stupid. All right. Anyway, that same sportsbook, I'm not going to help them. They did post odds for the number three pick in the NFL draft today and that's where I want to start with this or that, a segment we're going to be doing on Thursdays going forward. So there were two names at the top of the board that jumped out.

Obviously, you have the offensive lineman from Miami, Francis, I should have looked this up ahead of time. I'm so better pronunciations. And I watched him all year and I said his name wrong all season. Francis Maguо, that is so wrong or Jeremiah love priced about the same. And here's the thing. I think that the Arizona Cardinals with them releasing and taking a cap in on Kyler Murray, they understand they're in this for the long haul. So properly, they should be taking an offensive lineman, a position of need for them in the draft. They need a tackle. They need tackles. They need guards. They probably need receivers, but they're good enough there and they need cornerbacks. And right now, you've got the odds here and Jeremiah loves the second shot in the board. The problem is, most of these offensive linemen, you don't know where they stand as tackles. Like the best tackle is probably Spencer Feno from Utah, who's seven to one, but I don't think he's worth taking number three overall. So do you take Francis Maguо and take him at the third overall pick or do you take Jordan

or Jeremiah love? Why would you take a running back? If we learn nothing from the past sins of these organizations that are so far away from winning, if you don't have the proper infrastructure, you are not going to be winning games late. So you will not be running the football. So there will be no point of having a Jeremiah love, a generational running back there. If you can't utilize what he brings to the table, if you're the Arizona Cardinals, you either trade out of this pick or you take a premium position. That is an offensive tackle. That is an edge rusher, even if you don't think you need an edge rusher, you take an edge rusher, trade someone else on your roster. You do not take a running back that you're not going to be able to utilize because you're not a good football team and you don't even have a quarterback. So you don't have a quarterback, you don't have an offensive line. Who does that remind you of? Oh, the Las Vegas Raiders last year, who selected Ashton Gentee in the top five, who at that time brought in Geno Smith that quarterback, but didn't have an offensive line or a defense so they're always losing. They couldn't utilize his skill set it off. I think if you're looking at this market, Maguо makes a lot of sense and I'll get

the pronunciation right. I don't know why I didn't look it up before the show, I'm so annoyed at myself. But he makes a lot of sense there. I don't think Arvel Reese is going to be available. You can't take a sunny style, a linebacker at number three overall. I don't care how impactful you think he is. Linebackers are at the point where they're like running backs where they've been completely devalued in the NFL. You should take the best offensive lineman available at number three or trade out of the pick if you're Arizona. That's why I think the way I'd look at Jeremiah Love or Maguо is I go with Francis, the offensive lineman for Miami at plus 360. The next this or that, I was just perusing the Eastern Conference final odds and I was kind of shocked at the pricing of this. Jason Tatum is nine and a half to one to be the Eastern Conference final MVP. He's like eight, nine months removed from a Killy surgery, something that keeps guys out for way longer than this in the past. He's returning to a team where it's flowed through Jay through Jalen Brown. He's been the number one guy and Jason Tatum, oh, ball hit the third, bobbled. Oh, they got him at first.

That's the ball game. That's things, right? Oh, no, that was one out. Oh, Australia is in the field. Never mind. Never mind. I got confused. Wait, did they call that guy out at home? Is that what happened? Would that have been the sixth run? Am I recollecting this properly? Did they review it and call the guy out that would have been the sixth run? Maybe that's what happened. Maybe I shouldn't be angry at the sports book. Although they did flash a seven. There was never seven run score. Anyway, back to this or that Eastern Conference final MVP. Jason Tatum's nine and a half to one. James Hardin's also nine and a half to one. How does that make sense? Jason Tatum hasn't appeared in a game all season long. James Hardin is a guy who can take over the game right now in a very unselfish way. Something I really didn't anticipate how he could impact the Cleveland Cavaliers where there's a ability to facilitate and take so much pressure off everyone else and more importantly, unlocking offensive element of Evan Mobley and Jared Allen as the bigs with the pick and rolls where they can become really dangerous offensive threats to go with Donovan Mitchell and all the other players they have in the perimeter.

If I'm looking at this Eastern Conference Finals MVP and I'm going to take two guys at the same odds, why would I take Jason Tatum who I don't even know is going to be at 75% of his powers? James Hardin is on the team that I expect to win the East. It's the better overall roster. It's a deeper team and right now he's the guy who's like healthy who is able to play in actual games the only way I can look is James Hardin at nine and a half to one. Looking at some final four odds, two long shots priced in a similar range made a lot of sense to compare to me and that's because I trust both their defenses and that St. John's at 17 to one or Virginia at 22 to one. This or that which one would you prefer to me at St. John's and I understand all the concerns here as far as the Johnny's are, they don't have a true point guard. They are a team that you don't always trust shooting the three ball at times, at least like the depth on the roster. But the fact of the matter is they have a coach and Rick Patino who his teams play their best basketball now and he knows how to be a great tournament coach and Ryan Odom's

had success in the past. Don't get it wrong with a UN, UMBC taking down a team like Kansas and a historic 16 to one fashion. But Rick Patino, this is what he does. He brings his team to a level that we get to the dance and they try to hit their stride when it matters the most. St. John's to me be the play between these two because Virginia's a team I don't trust. And that's more because I have backed them selectively throughout the season. And I'm probably owing three betting on Virginia this year. They have not gotten it, gotten it done when I have bet on them. So because of that, I have bad taste in my mouth. I prefer St. John's here as a team that could be more dangerous than the Cavaliers, Com Marks, Madness.

Back here on cashing out, I'm Dustin Sweetleson, you're locked into Vison, these sports betting network, final 17.3 seconds to go in Denver. Nuggets up on the Lakers, 16 to 111 111, they're laying five and a half or four and a half, I should say a close. It was five last night, right? It was four and a half at close, but I believe our player props, not going to get home. We're on over, did it just get there? No, we're on over 36 and a half points rebounds in the sys on Jamal Murray. He was pacing great. He's at 26, 7 and 3 by my math that is 36, so we need either a point or rebound or an assist

to get over this with 17 seconds to go, hopefully he's the guy that they end up fouling to shoot free throws because I'm going to tell you this, it's not been a very good day. Things have not come my way, I could use one win here before we get out of here. Hopefully we can find some more wins coming up on the card for not just tomorrow, but the weekend as well. And to help us look for them, we're going to go to the progressive gas line and welcome in our buddy Eric Cohen, sports line handicap or at Cohen's corner AZ on X and he joins us now here on cashing out. So talk to me, ma'am, Arnold Palmer, Invitational, round one is in the books. When you saw how the course played today, you saw the top of the leaderboard, what jumped out to you? I still can't believe that Daniel Berger, a guy that has underachieved this year when out in shoot shot of 63 in a tricky course today, I mean, he has what a three shot lead here. And here's the funny thing, 15 of the last 16 winners here came from five back or less after round one. So by looking at that, anybody outside of minus four, which is the top nine guys pretty

much isn't going to win. And that includes Scotty Sheffler, who shot at 270. So we're not going to include him, but I am going to give you a couple of guys that I will look at as potential winners this weekend. I started calling Moorakawa at minus six. It's not an absolute heater with his ball striking. He won a few weeks ago at Pebble Beach, finished seventh at the Genesis Invitational. Should have won here last year, but he choked down the stretch. He's a guy that generally I don't bet because I don't trust him to finish, but the fact that he did that at Pebble Beach, he's plus 680. Still a good enough number three back. I love the ball striking. Second for redemption from last year, second and approach, which is a stat, you know, with the irons that I really look for at this event, most most events, but this event especially. So Moorakawa plus 680, then came young at plus 1100. He led the field off the tee was third and tee to green. And the putter, which can be a little bulky at times, was slightly positive against the

field on Thursday. He is four back. He's at five under par. Those are my two outright plays. Now, I have a couple of finishing positions. You let me know. Yeah. And just riff with it. So last week, I gave you Shane Lowry and Nikolai Hoigard, top 10s, both around plus 250 and both came in and boy Shane Lowry. How about the way he choked on Sunday? That was an all-timer. Well, I don't have as good a ones for you this week, but I'll give you something. How about Rory McElroy, top 10 at plus 156? It's one of the best iron players in the world, as we know. And lost nearly three strokes on approach on Thursday, shot even par, despite gaining off the tee and on the greens. Wait till those irons work. I think Rory finds a way at a little better than one and a half to one to get in the top 10. And a guy that I was on outright, stepped struck up for a top 20 at plus 192. He is 33rd right now tied with Rory at even par. Everything was dreadful all day, but of course, I had under 72 and a half.

So all you need to do is shoot par. He was too over going into 17. It's a 17 footer on 17 for birdie, hit a 26 footer on 18 for birdie, got back to even par. I think he makes a run this weekend, gain strokes off the tee and on approach. I'm not asking for a lot. Top 20 is what I'm looking for. He was fifth here last year, but nearly two to one. I think what there's some value there. Love it, Eric, all over the Arnold Palmer invetational. So his outright's there just to recap. Colin Moracawa, Cam Young, live in play there, finishing positions, Rory, top 10, SEP, struck a top 20. Awesome stuff there. As far as the golf is concerned, how about college basketball? You bet these smaller conference tournaments, I'm having mixed results either I'm very, very right or I'm very, very wrong. There's not a lot coming down to the wire for these games for me. You know, I had one of the best betting angles of the season and it's over Dustin and I'm really sorry I didn't get a chance to share it on this show.

Missouri or UMKC, so Kansas City lost 15 straight games to end the year and they did not cover one time in those 15 games. So I faded them there last three and it was easy money to last two against Doral Roberts. Sorry, I don't have that one for you, but here's what I have tomorrow night. I love betting these small school tournaments, but I'm going to be careful. Let's talk about a team that really needs to win and style points matter and that's why I'm even higher. Now we talked about them a few weeks ago when I was on the show, I'm laying the five and a half at Ohio. I think a win tomorrow night at Ohio, you get them into the tournament regardless of next week. If they go undefeated in their conference and maybe everybody on their schedule, you cannot leave them out. I don't care what their Ken Palm is. I don't care what their net ranking is. If you beat everybody on your schedule, it should not come down to some fluke conference tournament. Ohio is 143 spots lower than Ken Palm. It's only a five and a half point spread, but that's because Miami has only won their last two games by two points each.

They are 11 and three against the spread on the road and Ohio is below 500 against the spread at home. I'm laying that five and a half with Miami, Ohio as they complete their undefeated regular season. And then a couple of teams that like to play high scoring games Denver and North Dakota, there's a summit league game. Okay, I'm not giving you a side, but I'm giving you the over 160 and a half. They played twice this season. We've seen 177 and 179 in those matchups and both teams over has hit about 60 percent of the time. So those are a couple of spots I am looking at on Friday night. Yeah, Denver has been a straightover team all season long and the best over team. It must be something about playing in mile high as the nuggets are also the best over team in the NBA. Denver and college are the best over team. So I'm going to be on the over as well. And by the way, that number is dropped. It went from 160. I just had it here, 160, yeah, 166 down to 160 and a half, which feels a little bit low. Chat with Eric Cohen, sports line handicapper at Cohen's corner, a Z end of the college

basketball season is is upon us, my friend, at least the regular season, I should say, which means motivations, angles as we get ready for conference tournaments next week. What's the number one game you're most looking forward to betting on Saturday? Well, first of all, let me just say one thing. Next week is the best betting week of the year in my opinion. We got the players championship in golf. We have these conference tournaments. I everybody loves Beton Martin, you know, the NCAA tournament. These are so much more fun. I love being in Las Vegas for those conference tournament games. So I am jealous of you hanging out there, living there. And I'm, you know, stuck in Arizona where it's not nearly as cool as it is in Vegas during that time. Let's go back to Saturday. Everybody's talking about Arizona State. This is a team that maybe is on the bubble. Dustin, these people are nuts. ASU is one in seven on the road in big 12 play. Do you know what Iowa State is going to do to them at home? I would say, I know they've lost three, three or four. You think this is senior day in Ames? They're going to win this game by 15 plus. Now, we don't have a line here, but I think Iowa State is going to paste ASU.

Now, another spot I like. How about some payback time for those Duke Blue Devils? Now, I think they're a little, the resume is great. Their defense is really good. I think they're probably a little overrated going into March. I'm not as high on them as most, but the way they lost to UNC, this is payback time. And I think they put it on the tar heels at home by 15 or more. And I want to go to Sunday. We've got a great angle. I'm sure you've talked about it on the show. Nebraska unders at home. Something like 14 and three, the under has hit in Nebraska's 17 home games. When playing Iowa, Iowa Michigan went under tonight, Iowa and Nebraska will go under on Sunday. Give me whatever number they throw at you. That is that is strong stuff. I like the angle more specifically with Arizona State one. They're not a tournament team. They're not on the bubble, but because they've been playing well lately under hurly to save his job, it does feel like an opportunity to go back the other way and let this thing come crashing down to earth against Iowa State team that absolutely needs to get right

before the big dance begins. I'm just curious. I'm looking at the the future's odds right now, and I keep saying it, and I just want you to co-sign. If we don't bet Florida eight to one right now, we're going to regret it at the end of this thing. Do you think that's a fair statement? No, no, I don't at all. I think Florida is a good team. I do not think they're a final four team. I would take Yukon over them because they'll be in the same region. I think Yukon is a final four team. I think my area's on a wildcats are a final four team, and I think Duke and Michigan are. Cut and dry. Let's not get cute with our brackets. Florida has been great, but you know what? They I don't think they're deserving of a one seed if Yukon continues. Yukon wins out. Yukon beat him head to head, Arizona beat him head to head. I don't care that it was earlier in the season. I I think Florida at eight to one is not a value here. I'm sorry. No, I haven't bet it yet for a reason to want to see what other people thought. I keep thinking like I'm regretting it because they're hitting the stride. He's Eric Cohen. He's always in stride sports line handicapper at Cohen's corner AZ. This is always my friend.

Good luck with the bets. And when you join next week, we're going to be all over the big boys conference tournaments. Yukon 16 to one twice the odds of Florida. Remember that and I cannot wait for next week. All right. We're filing it away. Thanks is always my friend.

and radio affiliates across the United States of God bless America, final score in Denver. Now gets hold on and they cover 121 13 your final score in that contest. Denver was laying four and a half and the total 240 in a hook. So we end up going under there, wow, an undergame with Denver and the makers that that is not something I would have anticipated. I have a little bit of foam. I regret not laying it with the Denver nuggets, although we did cash our bet in that game. We went over on Jamal Murray 36 and a half PRA and he indeed did hit some free throws late, which put us over. So he finished the game with 28 seven and four. Look at you had 28 12 and 13 stupid stat line. It's absolutely bonkers as Denver's now quieted me and the other people questioning why they had a losing record since you get returned from injury. They have since righted the ship. We have not righted much today. We're going to be fair. I'm looking at how we've done so far three and two in college basketball with Loyola

Mary Mount pending, although last night, look, they were losing and I think they are still losing. Let me refresh this real quickly. Is that game at half time against San Diego in the WCC here in Vegas, half time and our bet where we're laying five and a half, they're catching four and a half because they're down 42 31 totals, 149 in a hook in the game. So we're probably going to have a losing night here because in the NBA, we went five and five in the world baseball classic. We went on one. That would be an eight and eight day right now with the last bet looking pretty bad right now. Why is on top of UC Riverside 42 32, three minutes to go in the first, they're laying Hawaii 15 and a half total 160, four and a hook. I'll keep you posted on what happens that game as it transpires, but right now, I want to go back in time, hop in the Delorean, set it to 85. Is that what you have to go to? I remember back to the future either way, should have brought up 88 is it 88? Jared, I asked Jared more for stuff on the fly, never as an answer. I asked that one before I could even spit it out 88, 88, 88.

I mean, I have any time to see watch back to the future. Anyway, let's, let's go back in time to earlier in the day here on Vison and bring you the best clips, the best takes from all of my co-workers here on the network. It's time for nightbites at fourth and one at midfield, triple 11. The Raiders really can't do anything, but they're one of the best teams in baseball nightbites. All righty, let's go back in time to earlier in the day what we like to do here is bringing the best sound bites, the best takes, the best opinions, and maybe some bets we can make along the way. And part of my routine is every single day, 11 a.m. Pacific times. That's two p.m. on the East Coast. I pop on to money moves with Jonathan Vontobl and Stormy Bonnetoni. And JVT, longtime NBA guy here are senior NBA betting analysts as well. And he, Zach Cohen, a few others have been very high on Kianta George of the Utah Jazz

to and most improved player. And Kianta George was having a remarkable season, ended up becoming one of the top two or three to bet or top two or three betting favorites in this market for a brief point in time before the jazz just started outwardly tanking and not trying to win any of these games. And they've since pulled him back. He's now 18 to one to win most improved player. Jalen Duren is the big favorite at minus 175. Jalen Johnson's plus 260 Ryan Rollins is 12 to one, which that kind of shocks me. And then Kianta George is 18 to one after that. JVT went on the show earlier today and made the case as why Kianta George is still worth a look at 18 to one. 18 to one. Now, the question obviously becomes, is it playable right now? Again, as somebody who is, like you've said, invented a different numbers here. I've got a, I've got a 20. I've got a little bit shorter than 18 as well. Kind of doubled up on him. I would say yes again. I have faith. When we talk to Zach Cohen tomorrow, you'll find somebody who actually has more faith and is actually very angry about the topic, much like I am at times.

So I think that yes, it is still worth adding. If you have not gotten in, he will be back. I promise you, and he is going to have a better shot at this. I'm not doing this to troll JVT, but he did not play tonight on the back end of a back to back in the jazz one. I'm not doing that to troll him. It's just pointing out that it's really hard to predict what Utah is going to do going forward. In the case of Kianta George, though, the reasoning for being on him from JVT from Zach Cohen is, is, is absolutely correct, okay? This is a guy who is playing significantly better basketball year after year from last year to this year, going from 16.8 points per game to 24 points per game. But more importantly, he's a guy who's getting it done across the board. He's improved from three point land by 3.3 percent, okay? He's shooting 46 percent from the field versus 39.1 last year. This isn't just about a guy who's getting more run on a bad basketball team, which I think is the case of Denny Audvita in Portland is that he just happens to be the guy that's

playing on most nights and getting the ball at time. I think Kianta George actually has improved as a basketball player, which is why he is worth a look at 18 to 1. So I understand what JVT's coming from in my net right now might be the point where it's worth getting in on him. And the Utah Jazz is best player because who else is playing down the homestretch of the season? All right. We move on now to a numbers game. Gil Alexander Kelly Bidlin. They got you covered at 10 a.m. Eastern time here on Visa and they started looking at the Kyler Murray situation. He's going to become a free agent here being released by the Arizona Cardinals and a lot of teams are in for his services who to Gil and Kelly think should be the team for Kyler to go to. They broke it down earlier today on a numbers game. You look at two of nice team odds with Kyler next team odds. The fact that dolphins and Cardinals are just even that far up on the list is mind-blowing to me. Like if you're the Cardinals, how's the Cardinals front office selling a fan base to a tug of a law? Like I can't get there. I'm still a, are you more of a believer in Kyler or two?

We've had this conversation before. Two. Yeah. And I'm on Kyler side. I actually think there's a little bit more, it's probably higher floor with two. I think the ceiling's still a little bit higher with Kyler Murray. So I would be, I mean, does that ceiling still exist? I mean, Kyler, listen, Kyler Murray's superpower is his escape ability, nothing else. At some point, that goes away with age. Oh, for sure. But at that point, then what do you have? I don't know if I agree with Kyler on that one. To a tongue of I lower, legitimately can't throw the football. And unless we're running the triple option, which even then, I don't think he can run that offense right now, I don't know what good he is in the NFL. Like if you're putting two on your team, it's because you're trying to lose. He can't push the ball down field. He doesn't make quick decisions. He takes a ton of hits and like, he still thinks he has the capabilities he used to have. At least with Kyler Murray, with all the knocks against him physically, because it's all

about his size, his stature and his ability to see down field. He has a huge arm. And if he's willing to roll out of the pocket to set things up down field, he can still make some throws. I don't think two of can throw the ball 25 yards in the air right now and hit a receiver and stride. I don't agree with Gill, I'm with Kelly there, I'd rather have Kyler Murray and I am not a Kyler Murray fan at all. Now let's go to Vs. And by the books, Jensen Lewis, Dave Ross, they got you covered in the morning, 7am Eastern time. And they had Scott Murkin on the show earlier today. He's covered the Chicago White Talks for over 20 years. And they started talking about the addition of Murakami at third base, what he means in big picture for Chicago this year. Not only is it opening up that area for player recruitment in the future, but interest too. The socks are becoming now more of an international brand. And they feel like Murakami is going to really help them. And you know how that that ballpark hasn't recently played as great as it did in terms of hitters. But in that summer months, out to right center there, that ball is going to fly in that

you got the right hitter up there. And same with Colson, you know, Colson at 21 homers in 71 games after he came up last year. So, you know, Miguel Vargas over a third, it could be a very strong middle line. But you can't understate what Murakami has meant his signing. You know, he's, you know, he's with team Japan right now, the WBC, but he was there for a couple of weeks. So got his kind of fee wet and then he'll come back finish up and get ready to go. Win total set at 67 and a half for the South Siders there and Murakami is a guy that should have a lot of power here and hit the ground running there. I don't know where the contact's going to be. I don't know how the average is going to look. He should be in the mix for rookie of the year and right now, he's actually eight to one. That's a little bit longer than I thought. And a few other people like you savage, mechanical, Carter Jensen, Okamoto, but I think Murakami because the opportunity in Chicago there, hitting in that order in the middle and potentially helping this team go over that win total of 67 and a half, it's, it's weird to want to bet them to the over, but he mentioned Scott, Colson Montgomery, I don't think people realize

what Colson Montgomery could potentially be a shortstop for them. They still have some professional hitters in the lineup, Austin Hayes and Ben and Tendi and the catchers Kyle Teal and Edgar Quarro. Quarro, they're both very solid. Shane Smith had a good run as a starter last year. Davis Martin isn't half bad. I kind of lean over the 67 and a half, but I think Murakami eight to one, AL, rookie of the year. I don't hate that if you want to bet that. Hey, want to remind you found it in 2011.
