We got a fun show lined up for you. Gotta keep your head on a swivel this time of year. A lot going on, morning noon and night. We got the night covered here as we got the World Baseball Classic. We'll get you updated where we stand with all of the situations with that big card coming up on Monday that we will do a deep dive in. Plus, as far as baseball is concerned, I'm going to start a new segment here on the show. We're going to call out the core four, four bets every market previewing Major League Baseball and the season, and today we're going to hold our nose because we're going unders with Major League Baseball in the

2:04core four. Tons to update you on as far as college basketball and the NBA is concerned as well. But first, we got to break down a couple games about to get going as we hit the air here. First in college basketball where we've got two games and one that I have an official play on. We laid the nine with Santa Clara taking on Pacific here in Las Vegas in the WCC tournament. It's up to nine and a half. I'd still probably lay the nine and a half. Total in game is 148 in a hook. Might lean under as well. If you didn't get the nine that was out there a little bit earlier. But you look at this game. The winner gets St. Mary's. You know who wants St. Mary's Santa Clara? Santa Clara is not in the big dance yet. They need to secure their spot. Make sure that they don't get knocked out by a bid thief coming up in the next few days with some of these smaller leagues in action and conference tournament play. They want revenge on St. Mary's in order to get there though. They have to take care of business against Pacific and Santa Clara has been a really good team all season long under Herb Sendeck. You remember Herb Sendeck former Arizona state head coach.

3:08This is by far the best team he's had since he's been with the Broncos of Santa Clara. You go back to 2023 eight meetings between these two teams Santa Clara seven and one against the spread in those games Dave Smart for Pacific. He's only 16 and 17 against the spread as a dog 18 and 14 to the under. He is 1 and 0 against the spread as a neutral dog 1 and 0 the over but Herb Sendeck three and one covering the number as a neutral court favorite of six and a half to 12. We'll lay the nine nine and a half and also lean under in Pacific and Santa Clara because I do think the defense for Santa Clara ends up dictating a lot of the elements of this game. Both teams pretty good defensively. Santa Clara just better both offensively and defensively so give me them here as they will cover they will win and they will advance for revenge against Saint Mary's and Randy Bennett hoping to steal that that spot out of this league because right now you look at the way the big dance is shaken out Gonzaga Saint Mary's Santa Clara. I don't think we're getting all three. I think we're probably getting two or three in and Santa Clara's got some work to do so that's why we're going to

4:08lay the nine with the hungry favorite in that spot. The other game about to get going as well here. We're going to go to the big sky second round Idaho Montana state. Ooh this one's been on the move. It was a pick them last I looked. It's now Idaho minus one and a half total 143 and a hook Idaho one by three 92 89 Montana state beat them 73 66 as they split the regular season. This is a contest where I lean over. I see a bit of offense from Montana state. They're pretty good from three shooting 36% beyond the arc and I think that they should be able to dictate some of the pace in this game. Idaho's Alex Pribbles two and one to the over when playing in a neutral court as a favorite of six or less although yeah he's still favorite minus one and a half. Montana states Matt Logan six and one to the over on neutral courts. I lean over but I'm not going to be one of those people that sits up here and pretends like I've watched all of these teams play all season long. I have not watched them. I am not going to bet them. Now next week when the bracket set I'm

5:10definitely going to fall in love with the team like high point that I have not watched all season long but has certain elements that I'm looking for like shooting to three like high point that I've not watched a single second of but I've dived into Diven Dive Dove Dove English Dustin. Welcome to Sunday. I've Dove Dove in. Is it Dove in Dived? I don't even know. Why am I still on this? Either way I looked at the stats. High point could shoot the three and they got a guy who's basically Jack Olkey from Oakland a couple seasons ago but that's where we stand with the two college games about to get going. In the NBA one late night contest first to sweat out together and we've got a few plays here. May have went a little bit hard but I can pop up out of a coffin right now. You can call me the Undertaker because we're on many under as far as Charlotte and the suns are concerned. So looking at the number right now we've got Charlotte laying four and a half on the road total 218 in a hook in this contest. Grayson Allen is not going to play for Phoenix in this one. The Hornets are back to 500. They snapped a six game win streak on Friday. This is the beginning of a four

6:15game West Coast swing for them where they can potentially make up some ground. Phoenix three and one of their last four coming off a February where they were rough. Three and seven straight up for the suns. Some interesting trends coming into this game. Charlotte seven and three covering the number as a road favorite. Phoenix nine and five against the spread as a home dog. Charles Lee is ten and six to the under on the road when the totals in the two tens. Lee four and six against spread as a road favorite of six or less Jordan Ott for Phoenix eight and three against the spread. Seven and three to the under as a home dog of six or less. So we're on the under. We bet two 19 earlier today. It is ticked a little bit lower to 218 in a hook. I'd still like the under at that point in time. So I'm props that I am betting on and I got two more unders for you because the overs they have been hitting brother. We're looking at more unders as we get later in the NBA season. One con can apple taken on this defense for Phoenix really good on the perimeter. That's one element Jordan Ott has brought to the table for this team since he took over this year. And the defense against shooting guard specifically for both teams actually you've got Phoenix

7:16allowing the seventh fewest points but the fewest assists per game to shooting guards. I went con can apple under eight and a half rebounds and assists. I just don't seem being very involved in some of those other stats more as a shooter spot up guy in this situation as the hornets begin this road trip trying to get him involved offensively. So under eight and a half rebounds and assist and then Devon Booker on the other side because Charlotte's defense. I think that's the thing that's most slept on about what Charles Lee has done the first couple years taken over this hornets job and I don't think he's getting enough respect as a head coach. His teams defend and they're willing defenders and they generate everything off the defense and they make other teams play this slow pace that they want to play with and then they're efficient on the offensive end. I'm looking at a Charlotte team that against shooting guards and point guards. Let's go to point guards first against point guards. Ninth fewest assists per game. Booker rotates between the one and two. Colin Gillespie though has mostly been featured at the one it feels like most recently and then you've also got Charlotte allowed in the sixth fewest points per game to shooting guards.

8:18I'm going to view this one as Booker's no longer the main facilitator like he was early in the year because Gillespie's getting more minutes. I think Gillespie does more of the assists in this game. So we're going to go under five and a half assists for Devon Booker in the hornets and the sun. So three plays there under two nineteen. Booker under five and a half assists. Can apple under eight and a half rebounds and assists. We're on Santa Clara minus nine and we've got a few more bets. We are currently sweating out. I threw them up at vason.com slash picks earlier today and if you become a pro, you can see picks not just from this show, but from every show here on the network, also the website. Everything is available to you there. So become a pro. See the picks from every single show and all the right ups every single day. What we are currently sweating out and this one's already gotten home world baseball classic. Okay. We've got over nine and a half team total for team Mexico. And last I looked, I believe they had 11. Let me just pull this up here real quickly. Yeah, it's 12, nothing Mexico and the fifth against Brazil. They had a five run fifth or a first inning, I believe. And they have just dominated a Brazil team that's pitching high

9:20school kids. Okay. And Mexico's got legit major leakers like Alejandro Kirk and Rowdy Teles and guys that are big boppers here. So we went team total over nine and a half, which is if you bet baseball regularly, the world baseball classic, it makes me feel like I'm betting international soccer. I feel like I can be creative in the mix like all these people who bet soccer all the time. I'm going team totals at nine and a half over. I'm betting plus three and a half on Panama the other day and teams like that. Like it is wild. Some of these lines and speaking of Panama, ooh, they lead Canada, four to two in the seventh. Guys, can we get that game on if that the game on there? This game was in a weather delay earlier. I was trying to watch it. Oh, that looks like Mexico. That was Rowdy Teles. Is it possible to find the Panama and Canada game? I don't know if it's on TV because I believe the Mexico game has taken its spot on FS1. But that that is interesting. Canada right now at plus one and a half. It's minus 175. You can go plus 110. By the way, the in game total, it's four two and in game totals nine and a half. What do they know

10:21that we don't? I don't anticipate great bullpen consistently as these teams are playing day after day in the WBC. But Canada is a team. I think I laid 105 on them to win this or to advance in this pool, not win this pool and advance in this pool. This would certainly hurt the chances of losing a Panama here. And I thought Canada might kind of cruise. So I'm a bit concerned about that ticket. Do I double down and go Canada plus one 10 on that money line? Just hoping I'm right about where I stand with the Canadians here. So I'll keep you updated as we see that game come on the TV here momentarily. But that is where we stand with that. In the NBA, a bunch of player props for us that we are currently sweating out up at Veson.com slash picks just to lay it all out for you of where we stand on the night. So in the bulls and the Kings, we have a few plays here. We are on Maximae Reynaud over rebounds. And he has five with 104 to go in the second. Kings leading the bulls 60 to 49. Man, you know how bad you got to be going for Sacramento to be up double digits on

11:27you. But that that's the situation there. We're also betting Nick Clifford over 23 and a half points rebounds and assist combined. Nick has five three and one. So eight and nine. He's not pacing great for us in that spot. We'll keep you updated where we stand with that situation in that contest. Looking at the other NBA bets. No, that was it. That was it for our NBA bets. And then college basketball currently sweating out Oregon State plus three and a half right now and an update on that game against San Francisco. Oh, there are 52 44. They were losing last time. I look, let's go. Lane four and a half are the beavers total 139 and a hook in that contest. That was a weird game. When I was looking at that spread, I was like, wait, Oregon State has had some time to get healthy here. Um, they have rested up for this tournament. They were dealing with some injuries down the stretch. The number of three and a half was a bit odd to me. I almost initially, I was like, well, I think I'm going to lay it with San Francisco. Like I believe they're favored for a reason.

12:28And the more I dove into the into where these teams stood, the beavers really jumped out to me. So I took the three and a half. They're now laying four and a half. We're sitting in a good spot, which we needed yesterday was a rough day. Friday was a rough day. I think Thursday was probably a rough day. It has not been a good betting week. We got to get back on track here and speak into that. There are some conference tournament futures that are out. We will break them down later because the path is so important and looking at the numbers you want to bet. But when we return, I'll get you updated on everything that went down earlier today, including an NBA team that clearly peaked to early.

Coming at you from the circus sportsbook downtown Las Vegas, Dustin, Sweetleson here, you there. Thanks for making us part of your night. However you may be tuning in. Series XM channel 158 YouTube TV, the VsynWatch app and radio affiliates across the United States of God bless America, World Baseball Classic, Mexico, up on Brazil, 6th inning 12 to nothing, Panama leads Canada, 4 to 2 in the 7th inning. As that would be a nice little upset there for Panama, if they could pull it off and take down the Canadians. I'll keep you updated on those games as the situations develop. And speaking of situations, when to break bragging about housing,

15:35a good spot with Oregon State up on San Francisco, it's a two point game. 63 61 beavers with the lead, they're laying one and a half total in game. 149 and hook 532 remaining in the contest. Still good on the plus three and a half, but man, basketball with the way the runs and the momentum swings can happen. Oh, I don't love that. I'm seeing technical foul shots being shot right now. That's not good. So maybe Oregon State is melting down in front of our eyes. Late night action with a chance to go to the Sunbelt Championship game. You've got Georgia Southern, the 10 seed on top of Marshall, 4235. How about the Eagles and Statesboro, Georgia, up 4235 right now. They're laying three and a half, totals 165 and a half at half time in that contest. Winner's going to take on Troy, who is the favorite to win the Sunbelt. And it'll be tough sledding, but you got to give Georgia Southern credit. They're not exactly a basketball powerhouse known for football, have a long history of being a really good when they

16:36were at FCS under a Urk Russell, being one of the great FCS college football runs, but in basketball, up by seven against Marshall. You'll love to see it there for Georgia Southern. So that is some of the late night action currently going on. In case you missed it earlier today, we did have some bids punched or tickets punched to the national NCAA tournament. So in case you missed it. And if you've been paying attention, Navy has been the trendy team that everyone who never watched them play in Patriot League play was telling you, oh, Navy, bet Navy, Navy's going to win the league, Navy's minus two dollars. They went from minus 120, juiced up to minus two dollars to win their tournament. And you know what happened? They lost on a buzzer beater to Boston University. Final score 73, 72. BU was catching six in a hook in this game as we do go over the total 136 and a half. But Navy was a very trendy play that a lot of people jumped on and got that number all the way up to minus two dollars. And they wind up losing in the semi finals to Boston.

17:42So it'll be Boston taken on Lehigh in that Patriot League final because Lehigh took care of business against Colgate 76 69. They were actually three and a half point dogs in that game. That's pretty crazy. So we had two dogs winning outright to get to the finals in the Patriot League. And that's just kind of the thing that happens this time of year with a lot of these smaller leagues. Earlier, we had Queens, North Carolina, not New York, take down Central Arkansas and over time to win the A-SUN conference 98, 93 and over time. So we go over the total. Queens was laying one and a half. That gets there. But they're going to appear in the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. Congratulations to them. That is super fun. And what know what else is super fun? Learning about high point basketball. Want to get high? High point beat Winthrop 91 76. They covered the six and a half. We go over the total of 157 and a half. But you start looking into some of these teams. And this is this is the dangerous part of March. And I I did it a few years ago with McNeese State didn't watch them play saw the numbers. Look at the metrics fell in

18:42love with all these eye popping statistics for a team. And I was all about McNeese State and they lost in the opening round. Okay. Let's go to high point though. High point, not really overly impressive when you look at the offensive and defensive efficiency. Okay. And it's just their second time ever going dancing. They became the first big South team to ever win 30 games in a season. They've got size and skill that some of these other bigger leagues supposedly will have according to the experts I was reading earlier today. But the guy that jumps out to you is Chase Johnson. Who is Chase Johnson? He's the 30th player to reach 400 career three pointers made. He's only shot two two pointers this year. He's 0 for two from two this year. He's 61 of 129 from three 47%. He leaves the entire nation in three point attempt rate at 97.4% in his seventh year of college. He's basically Jack Goldke with Oakland. He's just looking to get open and chuck it beyond the arc. And if he's on the right side of variance, who knows? Maybe high points got something for one

19:46of these teams. But I just saw some of the information making the rounds on this kid. I was like, you know what? I'm here for it. It's also a team that's number one in steals. So that's worth noting as you get ready for the big dance and the NCAA tournament. It's cashing out. I'm Dustin Sweetleson. It's Vsyn, the sports betting network. In case you missed it earlier today, the Boston Celtics with a 109 98 victory at Cleveland. They're catching one and a half. So really short dogs in the game. But Jason Tatum dropped 20. Jalen Brown at 23, 9 and 8. And they end up beating Cleveland, you know, the team that I think is the better team in the east. But this comes down to Joe Missoula. And this is not a knock on Kenny Atkinson because I think we've reached a point with Joe Missoula in the NBA where people talk about how a centric he is and now Audi may be in some of the weird press conference moments. My man could coach basketball. It's plain and simple. He knows what he's doing when it comes to diagram and the Xs and O's. And now he's got Tatum back in the fold. This team is taking another step. I'm still waiting

20:47and seeing. I'm not willing to bet them as the team that's the favorite to win the eastern conference right now. I just need to know that Tatum's going to be available and I need to know what kind of version I'm going to get of him down the stretch. But if you get 75% of Jason Tatum and by the way, they're down at plus 175 to win the east. If you get 75% of Jason Tatum, you're dangerous. You get 80 85% of Jason Tatum. You are elite. You get 90% of Jason Tatum being what he was. You are winning the east and maybe winning the finals. That is where the Boston Celtics are. It all hinges on how much of Jason Tatum can he be of his former self. I'm guessing it's somewhere in the 75 to 85 range. I don't know if we get to 90. I also have this thing with Cleveland where it does feel like they're just waiting out the regular season. And I know it's not really a good mindset for a team that you want to back come the the postseason here. But I do think the Cavaliers. The reason why there's been a bit of drop in drop in their play this season

21:48is because they realize what happened last year. They kind of went too hard in the regular season. You get to the playoffs. It's a different type of dance and other teams have a little bit more energy. They're a little bit more juiced up because they didn't go for it like you did. And I think for Cleveland, they're just kind of managing this situation. Get to the playoffs, deal with whoever's in front of us, but make sure we're at 100% strength. I'm not saying they're not trying. I'm just saying there's a level of the mentality that I question. How much they really care about the regular season, which by the way, doesn't make them unique to anyone else in the NBA. I'll pull up the odds right now of the games going on. Let's see. San Antonio is laying 15 and a half in game. Portland is laying 16 and a half in game. Okay. To say teams don't care about the regular season is the most obvious thing that anyone could ever say about the NBA. But for Cleveland, I do believe there's a level of let's save our best stuff for when it matters. That's why I'm not willing to get off of them right now. And someone who I was talking about Cleveland there, a team last season that probably went too hard too early and then ran out of steam.

22:53I believe that's what we're seeing from the Detroit pistons. In case you missed it earlier, today Detroit loses to Miami, 121, 110. They were one and a half point favorites on the road. We go under the total of 231 and a half. But this is it, man. You just you'll look at the line up for for what Detroit's throwing out there. And this is the spot where Kate Cunningham not having a proper Robin is doing them in not having someone who could take the burden off of him consistently. Because they're on a back to back. You got Duncan Robinson who can be hotter cold beyond the RTS three points in the game goes one of seven from three. If Duncan Robinson is your third fourth option, it's not a lot of reliability for your lineup. Jalen Duren is the de facto number two. But in a perfect world, Jalen Duren is your number three. He's a big man. And it's not like he stepping out beyond the arc to stretch things out. He is an old school big man. And he's a lead at that I'm not knocking Jalen Duren. I think he's rightfully favorite to be your most improved player this year in the association. But you need a number two. And right now, there really isn't a

23:54number two for Kate. And by the way, Kate had 26 and 10 in this game. Okay. But I think we're reaching a point late in the season where he may be running out of steam. And as long as he's running out of steam, the rest of the team is going to have some issues as the Detroit pistons now after this loss to Miami. They lost four in a row. As we begin the month of March, they won March first at Orlando. Since then, losses at Cleveland at San Antonio versus Brooklyn by two and at Miami. They'll go to Brooklyn on Tuesday. So they'll have a day arrest and travel. Then they'll go to the nets, which you would hope would be a rebounding win for them. But a lot of concerns about the way Detroit looks. And that's a team right now when you look at the Eastern Conference odds, you know, potential one seed, a team that has been going for it and playing hard. And Jamie Bickerstaff, by the way, is your favorite for coach of the year? If they struggle down the stretch, how does that adjust in the awards market for him? But Detroit is already four to one to win the to win the East. They're behind Cleveland, they're behind Boston. And even though the Knicks just lost the Lakers and it was a hideous game

24:56earlier today, I would still back the Knicks, I think, over Detroit. Come play off time. College hoop season teeing up. It's the best bedding stretch of the year.

Back at it on Caching Out. I'm Dustin in Sweetleson hanging out with you all night long from the circus sports book in downtown Las Vegas, Sirius XM channel 158 YouTube TV,

26:00the Viesin Watch app, and radio affiliates across the United States of God bless America. We got action all over the place in college basketball and the NBA in the association, a few late night games for us to sweat out. San Antonio on top of Houston 128 108 with just 413 remaining. The Kings lead the bull 7560. How about that? A 15 point lead for Sacramento. When's the last time that happened recently? Portland 77 Indiana 62 in the third quarter, 928 remaining in that game. And then the bet that we had we're on under in Charlotte and Phoenix. We have a couple player prop unders as well. And the Hornets out to a 2221 lead early in that game, 257 to go in the first quarter. Hornets are laying four and a half total, 221 and a half, which that side is exactly where it closed at four and a hook. So with that, we'll keep you updated on all the action in the NBA tonight. But we do have to look back on some of the events that transpired earlier. And to do that, we're going to go to the progressive guest line. Welcome in Nick Whalen, the host of prop points here on the network alongside Jeff Erickson, catch on 1 p.m. Eastern time. Also, read them over

27:01at rotawire.com and on ex at Whalen. And he joins us now in cashing out. We have a lot to get to, my friend, including the Boston Celtics since the return of Jason Tatum. It is it is worked out quite well. I think has anticipated. And the market has adjusted here. They're now plus 175 to win the Eastern Conference. They took care of business on the road in Cleveland today. They won 109 98. Brown was awesome. 23 9 and 8 for him. And then Tatum, 27 minutes, 20 points, three boards to assist. What are you seeing in the Celtics since Tatum's come back? I think this has gone about as well as it possibly could have so far through two games. Four Jason Tatum got off to a little bit of a slow start as you'd expect on Friday night to get Stalas had an air ball on a three. It still doesn't look to me like the the lift is fully there on the jump shot. He hasn't been overly efficient. But I think the great thing about Jason Tatum is that I really considered what a top six or seven player in the NBA at worst. And unlike a lot of

28:03those guys, he doesn't need to dominate the ball necessarily to be Jason Tatum to make positive contributions, right? Like it's like if you close your eyes and picture Luca Dodgers just being a role player for the Lakers or SVA doing that for for the OKC Thunder like it just doesn't really compute. And yet, you know, Jason Tatum can go out there having not played basketball in 10 months, played 27 minutes in each of these two games and still be a positive contributor, even when he's not shooting it overly efficiently. And I think one of the big concerns if you are a Boston Celtics better, if you're a Celtics supporter was, okay, yeah, the Tatum thing, that's great. There's all this attention. And you know, that gives you a boost down the stretch. But what does that do to Jalen Brown, who has had, you know, one of the five or six best seasons anybody's had in the NBA this year. And the early returns on that have been incredibly encouraging, right? Jalen Brown still looks like Jalen Brown. It doesn't really look like he's sacrificing anything so far, which I think is how Boston wants to play this in the short term. But to me, really, really encouraging to see Tatum play 27 minutes in each of these first two games. I think this easily could have been, you know, 14 to 18 minutes. Let's just, you know, run him out there for two or three minutes per quarter and kind of see how it goes. But the fact that he's

29:06already cleared for what 80% of his normal workload, I think is a really, really encouraging sign. And like you said, Boston now the short shot to win the East, okay, see over Boston. Dustin is our favored finals exacta right now in draft games. Well, let me add another wrinkle to the mix here because the Detroit pistons are on a four game losing streak. And when I look at them, it just feels like a team that might have peaked too early, right? That went too hard in the regular season. So we love when teams actually try in the regular season, but they might be another example of why it's not worth doing that here. And in terms of the Eastern Conference, they're up to four to one. As Boston shortened up, but more importantly, in the awards market coach of the year, JB Bickerstaff is now minus two dollars. Joe Mazula goes from four to one down to plus two 50. How do you feel about the implications with that and big picture Detroit? What are you seeing with them lately? Yeah, coach of the year is fascinating to me. It's one of my favorite markets to to evaluate, you know, going into the season and then throughout the season, you know, it felt to me like Bickerstaff kind of had this wrapped up, you know, two weeks ago. And now we're at a point

30:07where you have three or four other really viable candidates, you know, we didn't even mention, you know, somebody like Charles Lee, you know, with the Charlotte Hornets where, you know, maybe Charlotte lost too many games early in the season where they might not have the requisite total wins on the year for him to get there. But there are a lot of years where I think he would be the shoe in. There are a lot of years where Bickerstaff would still be running away with it. Obviously, what Joe Mazula has been able to do without Jason Tatum has been incredibly impressive. And I think the Celtics are going to be better for it. Now that Tatum is back. You know, you have Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Shireman and Nehemiah Skada, you know, guys who were fringe roster players essentially coming into the season who have been playing 20, 25, 30 minutes a night for the first three quarters of the year without Jason Tatum. Now those guys can kind of go back to being super role players. I think Joe Mazula getting the most out of a team that a lot of people looked at and said, all right, maybe they could win 40, 41, 42 games. We'll see how hard they even pushed this year. He absolutely is in the mix. I do wonder though, does the return of Jason Tatum pull away from the Joe Mazula coach of the year case at all? Oh, oh, because now they start to hit their stride and

31:11it's because they're at full talent. It's because of Tatum. Yeah. And you know what? That's why I think Charles Lee deserves more respect in this market. I think Charles Lee should be the coach of the year here 12 to one, by the way. I think so too. And Mitch Johnson is somebody I would consider as well in San Antonio. And I think the question with that is, you know, is Victor Wemanyama just going to command all the attention, right? Is he just going to get all the credit for this per season? I think Wemanyama is still alive, by the way, for MVP. Oh, 18 to one. I think it was the last price I saw. Yeah, I bet him somewhere around 18 to 120 to one. Nick Whalen is our guest, Roto wire senior analyst, host of prop weights here on V. Sin, which he can catch 1 p.m. Eastern time with Jeff Erickson. Yeah, I'm totally with you as far as that's concerned. Charles Lee at 12 to one makes all the sense in the world because you want to give Charlotte something for their success. And by the way, Charlotte now taking on a Phoenix team on the road. And Phoenix has been a cover machine in a lot of spots. We're tied up at 22s in that contest. But where are you with Charlotte? I know you're on them preseason. And I don't want to go throw cold water on everyone who loves them right now because I do think they're fun to watch. But can we at least acknowledge they

32:14have not had a lot of success against the team that they would have to go through in the Eastern conference? That is very fair. That is very fair. I think when you look at the last one, month and a half now for for the Charlotte Hornets cleaning up against an easy schedule, I will say though, you know, we're not that far removed from teams looking at Charlotte and circling them and saying, oh, they're one of the easy opponents on our schedule. So you know, you want to give credit to to the Hornets for taking care of business. But you're right. I mean, it's easy to even point to that game on Friday against Miami Heat, who by the way, are playing better than anybody right now in the NBA. They've won five in a row, wins over Houston, Charlotte and Detroit now in that span. But look, I think you have to take Charlotte seriously as a playoff contender. I think there's a reasonable chance that they could even work their way out of the play and mix just because it's hard to trust Miami. It's really hard to trust Orlando. You know, Philly is now going to be playing a couple games without Maxi without NBA, obviously still without Paul George. So I think things could still break Charlotte's way down the stretch. But this idea of like the Hornets winning the Eastern Conference, I'm pumping the brakes on that. I'm officially pumping the brakes on that. I think you look at the road that they would

33:17have to go through. You know, first of all, knocking off one of the top three or four teams in the first round and then having two more really difficult opponents after that. I know the net rating is really friendly. I know they played at a top three top five level for two months now. I think this is a team that could put a scare into Detroit or Boston or New York or Cleveland. Can they win multiple series? I don't think so. Yeah. Nick Whalen is with us. You can check him out. Prop points. 1 p.m. Eastern time here on Veecent also. Read him over at rhodowire.com where he is their senior analyst at Whalen on X. Alright, coming up tomorrow, the New York Knicks coming off at bad loss against the Lakers. How do you lose to the Lakers? Anyway, no LA flu situation because I highly doubt they're going out after a loss in party. And normally that LA Fute flu is when the team has like a day off in a weekend and a chance to party in Los Angeles, but they take on the clippers on a back-to-back tomorrow. New York's lane two and a half on the road totals to 21 and a half. Brunson played 42 minutes and had 24 points. I feel like he's a dude who's run out of steam here. Would you look at the

34:19clippers in this spot or maybe an underplay? Yeah, I think the under is more of what jumps out to me. You know, this was still a fine defensive performance by the New York Knicks. And that's really what they've been hanging their hat on, you know, during this, this great run. They've been the number one defensive team in the NBA, you know, since the calendar turned to 2026. So I think that could continue. I do think, you know, playing an early game in Los Angeles, you know, flying cross country that that's certainly a part of what we saw today. Neither team played well, right? It's not like the Lakers came out and just shot the lights out. You know, Luca was five of 16 from three. Marcus was one of 10 from the field. They didn't have LeBron James. It's still a bad loss, of course, for the New York Knicks. But I think we see a better effort. I think we see a refocused effort from the next tomorrow night. Clippers have been an under team, you know, all season. Neither of these teams overly interested in playing quickly. And no John Collins for the LA Clippers does matter. This is not a team with a ton of options offensively. They're still kind of working to integrate Ben Matherin and Darius Garland. So that's where I would look early in that game. He's Nick Whalen. Check him out. Rotawire.com, senior analyst on X at Whalen. The L is a one and

35:21every single day here on the network, 1 p.m. Eastern time with prop points. Thank you as always for doing this, my friend. We will chat again next week. Much appreciated, man. Thank you. Awesome stuff from Nick per usual. I, you know, when when people co-sign and you respect their opinion and Nick is about as dialed in as any person you're ever going to speak to as far as the NBA's concern. I think his point about Missoula should carry a little bit of water here. Missoula is going to get credit for getting them to this point without Jason Tatum. But now if Tatum ups their trajectory the rest of the way, well, then theoretically is Missoula really the coach of the year. I still think Charles Lee something has to go to the Hornets. They have to be rewarded for this year aside from Con Kanepa winning rookie of the year because all these other guys have stepped up. When you think about what Charles Lee's done, he is rained in Lamello Ball. Something I never thought was going to happen. I thought he was going to be doing and one tricks out there during his career. He's gotten the most out of the rest of that roster, but he's made a lot of young guys defend and the defense for Charlotte jumps off the page to me. So I think that's something

36:25worth discussing here a little bit later on in the program. But when we return to the top stories in the National Football League, I'm cashing out. In 2024, a truck crashed into Kanah in Moresque where I work. 146 of our dogs needed homes fast. We asked for help on Facebook. Our stories spread through WhatsApp messages and Instagram posts.

Coming up later on in the show, about 45 minutes from now. Ryan McIntyre sports gambling podcast network will be with us. We'll get some of his thoughts on the smaller school action on Monday with all these conference tournaments at play. But more importantly, we're also going to do a few different breakdowns as far as these big leagues are concerned because there could be some value on some of the second third teams listed on the

38:26odds board to win the SEC, the big 10, the big 12. I'm going to take a few flyers here to see if we can be right. Dare I go against the Florida Gators? That's something I really don't want to do, but it might be worth doing it because the price you have to pay to back them is pretty high coming up here in conference tournament action this week. Right now in terms of those games, ooh, it's getting interesting in the sunbelt. So Georgia Southern's the 10th seed and they've reached the semi finals where the winner of this game will take on Troy who's been the favorite to win the league for a while. Marshall and Georgia Southern tied up at 63 apiece with 834 remaining in the contest. Hofstra is up on William and Mary 90 to 55 right now. You've got North Dakota State 61 North Dakota 15 and then Idaho and Montana State out to a 1916 start with Idaho in the lead. We do have a play coming up here at the top of the hour Pacific and Santa Clara in the WCC quarters. I like Santa Clara a lot here. I laid the nine. It's up to nine and a half. I'd

39:30still probably lay the nine and a half, but I'd also lean under Santa Clara has Saint Mary's waiting on the other side of this game. They want to take care of business. They want to decimate Pacific. They want to make sure they are playing their best basketball to get revenge on a team in Saint Mary's who they lost to last time around. Winner of that game likely going to be in the dance in my opinion. So because of that, I think with Santa Clara needing that next game, they're just going to go nuts against a specific team that I don't think can really hang with them. You know, Pacific pretty good from three from three 36.1% 55th in the nation, but across the board, Santa Clara more efficient, offensively and defensively. You look at these meetings between these two teams. The Broncos are on a seven and one against the spread run since 2023. Herb Sandex three and one covering the numbers of neutral court favorite of six and a half to 12. Dave Smart, the head coach for Pacific is only 16 and 17 covering when he's an underdog. So because of that, I laid the nine, the motivation angle for Santa Clara to take care of business, not play games here and win the game. Speaking of a game

40:31that we won earlier today, we were on Oregon State catching three and a half against San Francisco. They did finish the job. They went outright one point win, by the way, because San Francisco at the buzzer hit a three to make it 78 to 77 as your final score. Wait, hang on 78, 77. Let me do the math on that. I don't know, we went way over. Never mind. We went over the one 45 and a half. Yeah, it was 145 and a half. But San Francisco was laying three and a half. We took three and a half of the Oregon State, the one outright. So that's a good win. We've got more action coming up throughout the night here on the program. We are sweating out some NBA plays that I'll get you updated on in a little bit. Your current scoreboard though, Bulls and Kings. It's a 14 point game. Sacramento leads 94 80 with 427 remaining. They're down to a nine and a half point favorite 257 and a half. You're in game total. Portland leads Indiana 94 78. They're laying 15 and a hook 242 and a half is the total. And then Charlotte on top of Phoenix on the road 39 33 Charlotte closed the four and a half point favorite.

41:35It's up to eight and a half. And the total in games 223 and a half. We don't love that. We are on the under 219 in Charlotte and Phoenix. So updates coming all night long. But there was a little bit of NFL news that I think is worth touching on and we'll do that with the three point stance. The top stories and football. Every single day. This is three point stance. This was a big boy breaking news earlier today. Although it's not like something actually happened. Let me be clear about that. But I got the alert on the phone. I got to via email. I got it from the app as the athletic reported Travis Kelsey's representatives are expected to talk to multiple teams this week with the legal tamping tampering period starting in the national football league. You know, Travis Kelsey. He's going to be 37 years old during the season next year coming off three consecutive seasons of under a thousand yards receiving. He doesn't move like he used to. He

42:38still a really serviceable player. I don't believe he's going to go somewhere else. But on the chance that he does. I think Kansas City would be in a better position to win a Super Bowl. I know that sounds crazy. But with the money, you'd probably have to pay Kelsey to keep him there and keep him happy in the organization. It'd be paying him for nostalgia, not for production. Because if I'm Kansas City, I look in the draft, there is a freak out of Oregon and Kenyans to dick out there who you could take in the first round if you want to. He might be better as a rookie than Travis Kelsey. Okay. Travis Kelsey right now, not Travis Kelsey back in the day when Travis Kelsey was revolutionizing the position. But everything comes to an end. Everyone at some point slows down a bit and Travis Kelsey slowed down two years ago. Okay. He is not the same great game breaker. And I think a lot of his production last year just came from the fact that my homes couldn't trust the guys on the outside. There was a lack of consistency from their receivers. And I think it would be a good thing for Kansas City if he were to move on. I just don't think he's going to. I think they will come to an agreement. A very solid contract to keep Kelsey happy. Also allow Kansas City to maneuver a bit in free

43:43agency. But I think it would be better for them to have a cheaper tight end and a rookie and a more explosive guy in like a Kenyans to dick out there. Heck, they could probably sign Isaiah likely and that would be an improvement on what Travis Kelsey was a year ago. But I do think he's going to end up staying with the chiefs. I really don't envision him in another uniform. So people reporting that the giants that he wants to be a giant wants to be in New York because the the Taylor Swift thing. I find that to be very hard to believe. I just I don't see him as being a fit for the New York Giants right now with where they are and him wanting more super bowls for his legacy here. I think he's done chasing money. It's not about the bag. It's about the legacy. It's about looking back at his career and knowing he was winning all the way through. Kansas City gives him the best chance. There went total next year instead of 10 and a half. You can actually get plus money or even money to the over under his juice at minus 120. As we'll see what they do in the draft, you know, picking higher than usual. A lot of people think Jeremiah love is the move for them. I'm not really on that bandwagon. I think Kansas City is going to go something like offensive line or impactful defensive guy. Peter Woods, the defensive lineman from Clemson is there. I think

44:47they're an infrastructure team. They've got offensive minded head coach with Andy Reed there who knows that he can be creative with certain pieces. He's one without like a dominant running back. Let's remember Damien Williams was the students in the Super Bowl a while back for them. I don't think he thinks he needs a Jeremiah love here, even with my homes coming off the injury. So I think Travis Kelsey does return. And with that first pick for Kansas City, I don't anticipate Jeremiah love going to the chiefs. That's just my opinion on the matter. Next story here in the three points dance. And this would be fascinating. ESPN's Rich Chimini reporting. The Jets had high grades on Geno Smith in the 2025 offseason. Uh oh, dare we say reunion. Geno Smith, you know, as a throw around a West Virginia, I did think Geno Smith was going to be the first quarterback taken when he was selected in the draft. He eventually goes in the second round goes to the Jets. And just like many a jet quarterback, he never had the infrastructure of people around him to really develop his

45:50skills and hone his craft at the position. Now, if he were to go back to the Jets, at least for Geno would be an opportunity to start because he's not going to do that with the Raiders. And you'll look around the league right now. A lot of teams believe they have their guy. And if Geno Smith wants to be a starter, I don't believe it's going to be for a contender. And maybe he can be in a position where he shows what he still has left in the tank with someone like the Jets. And if there's an injury to a contender, he's someone that another team would look to acquire during the season. You have to have a lot of moving parts. You have to really sell it. But I do believe that is the objective and how things will end up shaking out for Geno Smith in the offseason wherever he ends up. He's going to go to a bad team. He's going to try to prove that he's better than that bad team. And hopefully end up on another team before the end of the season him going to the Jets though with Garrett Wilson and Breeze Hall. At least you have a quarterback wide receiver and running back combo. Problem is there's nothing else there. So the New York Jets, I mean, they're going heavy on the rebuild. I still believe they're trying to tank this year. But the Jets win totals five and a half

46:52minus 140 juice to the under. Even with Geno Smith, I like the under five and a half for the New York Jets. And then finally, the last story here, Mike Evans, where will he end up? Well, according to every report I'm reading, Mike Evans has suitors every which way. He's got teams like the Patriots in the mix. He's got teams like the Giants wanting his services. You know, the Ravens maybe, although maybe that was before the trade for Max Crosby, but you've got the Cleveland Browns wanting to have something to do with Mike Evans. The Buffalo bills feel like an obvious destination. And of course Tampa Bay would like him to return as well. Mike Evans is going to get a big contract. And what's really would be concerning if you look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is that he would want to leave because he believes there's a better chance out there to be more successful because this guy's been a bucket's whole life. He's won a Super Bowl with his team. He's gone in the postseason a bunch with Baker Mayfield there. But if he were to leave, that whole team takes a step back because don't get it twisted. Mike Evans is a Kingmaker all the way back to Johnny Manziel where he's made tons

47:54of quarterbacks look better than they really are with his ability and his catch radius to make a ton of plays. If you're a gambler dealing with IRS problems, you're not alone.
