VSiN PrimeTime | March 24, 2026 | Hour 4

0:00This is V-Syn, the sports betting network. This is V-Syn, prime time. Live from the circus sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas. On V-Syn, the sports betting network. The sports betting network. The sports betting network. The sports betting network. The sports betting network. Out of number four of V-Syn, prime time alongside Matt Newman's. I'm Tim Murray, the bake breaking news of the night. Huber Davis, out after five seasons as the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, Matt Newman. I wouldn't say stunning. Certainly the past couple of days it had been reported, but a bit surprising to see him out after five years.

1:02Yeah, a lot of names being tossed around. Billy Donovan, Dusty May, Greg Hoops, Peterson. I think Hoops performance in the circuit. College Hoops challenge is probably going to be. I don't kick a man when he's down. Too much for him to overcome. This hour of V-Syn, prime time being brought to you by our friends at EdgeBus.

You know, Matt, I'm surprised that we were able to book our next guest in 15 minutes. The bear man, he had been very confident that his gators would repeat as champions. And so I think he was. He was a little shell shocked. Brian Edwards was too. Remember, Edwards came on here a couple of weeks ago and said he's got four to win everything. Nobody can beat the gators. He's not saying this four to fans are extremely confident. Right now they're extremely bummed out. Well, I was happy to be moving on to the sweet 16 for the first time since 1999.

2:04I went back and I watched the end of that game, that final play, Matt. The execution by Iowa. You could certainly criticize Todd Golden and the defense of strategy. Oh, I will. But. Most people will. Bennett starts the pass to get it inbounded to him. I mean, if that pass is an inch behind him, Boogie Flann is able to deflect that pass, maybe steal it. It's good pass. Sturts. Goes all the way down. Beautiful bounce pass to the corner. Nails the corner three. And thankfully, for me, stays under the total as well. Well, there's always two sides of one is Iowa's execution was perfect. Even Hawkeyes is a ton of credit for that. The other side is that everything that Florida did and its defensive alignment was all wrong. It was all wrong. You cannot even put defensive pressure on like that. And if you do, you got a double team, Bennett starts and not let him get the ball and you got to foul somebody else. It just didn't make any sense from the Florida perspective. Anyway, that's old news and the Hawkeyes move on to face Nebraska in a border war.

3:04Talk about rivals who hate each other. Yeah, especially in football. Obviously, but it's been a long time since the basketball success has been there for the corner Huskers and the Hawkeyes. And it's Houston and three big 10 teams gathering in Houston this week in that bracket. Illinois, opposite to Cougars and Tim. Today we saw some money in the market. Some sharp money show up on the fighting line and I plus three and a half. Yeah, that number again down to three. Bet MGM down to two and a half right now. Still three and a half if you do like. The Alina Jim Roo joined us in the second hour of the program and he likes the Alina plus the three and a half. Matt, I have not bet this game one way or the other. I do full disclosure have. Futures on Houston to win the region at plus 255 bet that here at Serca. And it was partly because. Two of my futures that I had in pocket Florida and Illinois. Ended up in the same region. So it was a little bit of a hedge against that.

4:05But I also like the fact that Houston playing better defensively as we saw outside of the big 12 championship against Arizona. And the fact that as we all know. This game will be played in Houston, Texas. So have not bet this one anything you're looking at here. Are you looking towards Illinois? Well, see this Houston's got pseudo home court advantage. We've talked about that all three of those big 10 teams going to travel. All those fans. You think Iowa and Nebraska meant Nebraska's never been to a sweet 16 Iowa hasn't been in this century. You think those I think those fan bases are going to show up. Yes, I do. I think they're going to be the line I will too. Yeah, so I think they will be enjoying themselves down in H town. I really feel like Houston's going to grind out this game. It's going to be a lot like the national championship game, right? One of Florida and Houston went down to the final minute. One possession type of game. Three and a half. I thought was a little bit too much. I made, I made Houston a two and a half point favorite. It's got a feeling that this is going to be a tough matchup for the Houston defense.

5:07All the things they align I can do with their size and their shooters spread the floor. I think this is going to be a different challenge for Houston. But the Cougars toughness, Calvin Samson, his team's toughness. I think finds a way to get it done. But. You know, before the tournament, I picked Houston to come out of this bracket and to beat Florida to come out of this bracket. And I guess we're going to stick with that. You know, the total is down to 140 right now at a number of spots, Matt. And there's part of me that thinks, hey, maybe look at the under. But you're also looking at an Illinois team that is as prolific as any offense in the country. They aren't crazy up tempo. But they are number two in the country, as I mentioned, in efficiency. They shoot a ton of threes. So if they get hot and especially with that size, I mean, you saw what they're capable of. 105 points against Penn and the opener. 76. I thought it was more of a grinder against VCU there and they were able to pull away. Would you look under or is the opportunity for Illinois to put up some points?

6:11And Houston's not a slouch either offensively. They can score, you know, in the big 12 championship game was a 79-74 game against Arizona. Well, and like I said, you go back to last season's national championship game. That was 65 63 for the Houston. And the total here's 140. Tim, I'm going to look mostly at unders in this round. I think Texas Purdue under 149. St. John's Duke under 142. There's one game. Actually, there's two games I do not want to play under Alabama Arkansas. Alabama. Alabama Michigan. Alabama Michigan and Arkansas, Arizona. I'm not going to look at the under in those two. I will look at the under in the other six games. But right now, and I should say this to Tennessee Iowa State have no idea what to do with that game right now because we don't know if Joshua Jefferson's going to play. I heard one report today that it's optimistic that looks like he's going to be able to make it back. I heard another report. Nah, he's probably not going to be able to play. So I don't even know how you handicap that game without knowing if Jefferson's going to play for the cyclones.

7:13I mean, Iowa State looked really impressive without him, but this is a different monster. I was also a Kentucky team that just collapsed. 47 17 run after leading 30 to 23. What the hell was that? 47. I mean, I've been a big Mark Pope proponent for the last two years. But as a coach, you cannot let your team fall apart on a stage like that in a game like that. That was embarrassing for Kentucky. So it's a little bit tough for even me to defend Mark Pope this week after seeing what happened in that Kentucky Iowa State game. I mean, we got a there's an interesting market at draft Kings teams to advance further. Arizona versus Houston Houston's plus 220 to advance further. Or do they get knocked out in the same round that will be plus 450? Duke and Arizona. I think this is an interesting one. Arizona is plus money to advance further than Duke plus 160. I like that.

8:13Yeah, I do too. Arizona. I like their draw right now in the West regional and Duke seems a little bit vulnerable, right? Duke is vulnerable. There's another question. But Duke was actually lucky to get by Sienna was in a dog fight with TCU for a long time. If seeds hold, we're going to see Arizona Purdue in the West. I mean, Purdue would have to shoot lights out from three to win that game, Tim, because Arizona's big on the front line. They've got NBA guards. Purdue does not have NBA guards. And I just feel like that's where Purdue would run into a team of superior athletes. Try to be tough to win that game. Houston Iowa State. Houston plus 130 to advance further. Iowa State plus 165 draw, meaning they both get knocked out in the same round plus 275. Iowa State plays Tennessee as we talked about. Four and a half point. Favorites in that game. Houston on paper has a more challenging matchup in the sweet 16.

9:15But once again, the Joshua Jefferson situation, will they have him? And then Iowa State's going to be a decent sized dog against Michigan. And if Houston wins, they're going to be a sizable favorite. You know, Houston's the same price that come out of the South region. So you could look at it either way. But I would much rather take Houston plus 130 to advance further than Iowa State. Because I think at the end of the day, Matt. And we talked about this game extensively with Jim root. I think I'm going to be on Tennessee plus the points here. I've been impressed. I know it's Rick Barnes. It's always nervous to back him in these spots. But I've been impressed by what we've seen from them. Obliteration of Miami. And then I thought beat a very good Virginia team in that second round. Well, one of the sharpest spenders I know loves Tennessee. I don't really have an opinion on that game. But I can tell you that you're backed up by somebody very sharp who loves Tennessee. And they came out. Joshua Jefferson's the X factor. I don't know what to do with that. Tim looking back at some tournament props before last week.

10:18Well, all four number one seeds make the sweet 16. Yes, was minus 130. Wow. Orders blew that up. Well, all four number two seeds make the sweet 16. All four number twos are in, right? Yes. Yes, was plus three 30 on that. Wow. How about that? I feel bad for overlooking that when I look back at the bracket. I had all four number two seeds in the sweet 16. And we've got plus three 30 was available in that prop before the tournament. How do we overlook that play? Yeah. That would have been a nice cash to hit. But unfortunately, about some of all seeds to reach the final four nine and a half. I played that under. Still feel pretty good about that. You can't have St. John's would mess things up a little bit. St. John's would be a five. And then if it's St. John's Houston, that's two. Then you're getting, you need both one seeds. Two one seeds to stay under. Yeah, you could still get there. If you got nine and a half, there were some eight and a halfs out there. So nine and a half might be important.

I'm Tim Murray. Let's go out to our progressive guest line and welcome in a man who is a great mood. David Bareman. What's up, David?

13:19How you doing, man? You see a sore loser. Not a sore loser. If I was, I wouldn't be wearing the shirt. I wore the shirt on purpose because I got a bone to pick with Mr. humans. Hey, a loss is a loss. Like, what can you say? They they got out coached. They got outplayed and they were out toughness if that's a word. But they are the defending champs and then we will move on to the next year. I mean, who wins in tournament? Hopefully Todd Goldins not moving on to North Carolina. Tim is trying to trigger that speculation. You don't think it's the betting favorite. I'm just saying three to one, betting favorite. First of all, there's no favorite out there. These books and these offshore people that are putting out these fake odds that they have absolutely no idea who the AD is talking to or not. It's literally Tim, my least favorite thing in the betting space is the odds of where a coach or player is going to go. These bookmakers don't know anything when it comes to that. And I'm going to tell you why Todd Goldins not going. The AD literally just came out tonight and said we're working on an extension. He's not going anywhere. He's going to be in games for years to come.

14:19That literally just happened within the last hour. He's not going anywhere. It's good. It's a great job. I'm sure someone's going to love to be in Chapel Hill, but it won't be Todd Gold. Fired up David Bareman tonight for the fan and ill humor. Afraid that Carolina is stalking the Gators head coach. I don't think that's. He goes into uses that word on purpose. Matt, I did everything in my power not to respond to your tweet yesterday. Listen, they lost. They got outplayed. They lost. End of story. Not going to make excuses. The end of the game was a disaster. The beginning of the game was a disaster. Well, we won't talk about the S word. That's. Unfound rumors out there. Well, I hope that our best bet doesn't slip away here as there's now 4541. The number is now up to 10 and a half in the live betting market in New Mexico. Up for. All right. Let's get to the Houston Open as this will tee off on Thursday. Good news today. Scotty Sheffler withdrew with the, I believe, his second child on the way.

15:22So did that change how you bet the Houston Open? It didn't because I wasn't ready to play Scotty here. He's obviously not played to Scotty potential. And this was not going to be the event where it's like, all right. I think Scotty at two and a half to one wasn't going to do it. Maybe I would have played him live. But you know, I've been on the show plenty of time saying I don't like taking Scotty back. Before Thursday because the odds are too low. They would have been even lower with what this field looks like. He was by far in a way the best one in the field. I would have played him in the prop market, but I wouldn't have played him to win. Even though he probably would have gone on and went. I would have looked for a different price. But yeah, it's not going to change drastically because he's a guy you save for the Masters US Open, etc. All right. We were talking with Mac grill and Jeff Sherman, a couple of sharp golf odds makers about the ripple effect here without Scotty on the board. And it's going to shorten the odds, obviously, for the other players. But who do you still like with the new odds board here for the Houston Open? Yeah, I'm not thrilled with the odds being shrunk.

16:22I had already taken men will lead at 19 to one earlier in the week. He's down to 15 to one as the favorite. You never like to take the favorite of full field event. He is a defending champion and you could just leave it there. But he's also play exceptionally well. The runner up at Pebble tied for 12 to Genesis tied for six at the API. And he was a contention at the players before he had a pretty bad Sunday when it comes to this course. We're looking for guys who are long off the tee, but not necessarily accurate, Matt. They can miss because it's a public course. The rough isn't too bad. Connect on long irons. And if you don't connect. Can play well around the green while Lee is seventh off the tee. 10th and shots gained 15 to green and 23rd around the greens. He's overall approach number is in great, but he's been exceptional from 200 yards in. So we like men will lead to potentially repeat his title. And I really like him the top 10 market. He's going off at about 170 in the top 10 market. Yeah, it's very quiet this season, but that's a player. I could see winning this tournament this week.

17:22Chris got her up one a couple times early. He's been quiet lately. Is that a guy that you could see resurfacing here and challenging to win this event? Or maybe the master something like that coming up? Yeah, this is a guy who absolutely can think when this event his numbers also short. Don't like really any of the numbers because of Scotty not being there. All these numbers have gotten short. But the guy Rob is a guy that nothing bothers him. And he was quoted in the new Netflix series that was out there with the with the players and the PGA. Saying I can't wait to get to Houston where I can miss wherever I want. He said that at the players where when you miss it, the players. The rough is impossible or if you miss it, Valspar, the rough is impossible. At this event, you can miss it in a more real park. You can miss left and right. God are up the guy that likes to blast it down there. Hasn't played well of late, but with a win on his card already can absolutely see and win this one. David Behrman with us, spending with Behrman. And let's talk about Marco Pinge. And this player was mentioned to me by two other golf handicaps stay.

18:23You're the third. So what do you like about Pinge at about 30, 35 to one here? Not sure that I liked it on the third. Because last time we did this, it was Maddie Fitzpatrick. And he didn't win the event. Of course, he won it the next week. But I do love Marco Pinge here. When you're betting the favorites like Manuel Lee, you got to go a little bit further down the board at 35 to one to fill out the card. He's a mid range option that many people know about because he was on the DP World Tour over in Europe last year. He finished tied for fourth last week at Valspar, which is going to get him on the radar. But what I really like and I mentioned it before with God are up. Is this guy just mashes it off the tee? He's seventh on the tour in distance. And he's first in shots gained off the tee, which measures distance and accuracy. So right now Marco was driving it better than anybody on the tour when you combine accuracy and distance, which will put him in exceptional position to hit these greens. He's had the best approach numbers all season last week at the Valspar in his top five finish. And for those that don't know him, he finished second on the European tour last year.

19:24It's three wins in a runner up finish. He was like literally your Rory McAroy of the DP World Tour last year. David Bareman joining us here courtesy of our progressive guest line. Take a look at the Houston Open as it gets underway on Thursday. A couple of other bets that you're looking at, David, that are on your card. Brooks, Capca, top 10. This is a market that you're looking to attack here this week. Right now looks like Capca at around plus 245 in the top 10. He's going to be a popular pick because he's actually someone who was part of the renovation of this course. He was integrally involved in renovating it. So he knows the course about as well as anybody hasn't played it because he wasn't on the PGA Tour. He last played it in 2021, but he did finish T5 in 2020, which was the first year after the renovation. With Brooks, I've almost wanted to take him to win it all. His number is not great again with Scotty out the numbers gets shorter. The problem with Capca is for every two steps forward. He gets with a couple of birdies.

20:25He then doubles the next hole. He'll go birdie, birdie, birdie, double and go backwards. And until he figures out how to use that putter and to avoid the double bogies. It's really hard to take him to win event, but I feel confident that with the way he's playing. He leads the tour in shots game to approach this season. He's number one on tour on approaching the greens, which you'd love in this event. And it's the putter that's killed him. If he knocks a couple of these things in, I think a top 10 is pretty good at plus 245. There's going to come a point where I'm going to take him to win events. But until he stops double bogying random holes and the middle of events, which kills his momentum. I need him to play more before we get there. Maybe it's at Augusta. Maybe it's later in the year at another major. But I think a top 10 is a pretty safe bet for a guy who knows his course as good as anyone. Yeah, I agree with your analysis on Kafka. He's close, but he's not quite there when you watch him. You want to play him at 25 to 1, but you say he keeps getting in his own way here. And I'm not sure he's playing well enough to bet him to win these tournaments. So top 10, probably the way to play it.

21:25How about anything else in the top 10 or top 20 or the futures board you're going to play? I'm also going to play Adam Scott. He's a guy who's played very, very well in Texas over the years. It's a sneaky play because he hasn't played as often as the others. He's older than the crowd that is at the field. So he kind of doesn't play as often. He is 37 to 1. I made sprinkle that. He's a guy that also pounds the ball down the fairway 24th in distance. 16 T to green and ninth on approach. So it's a sneaky play because he hasn't been there that often. He's only played in the big events. But I think what the field being what it is. I think Adam Scott can quietly go out there. Get a top 20 and contend at 37 to 1. I'm also looking at a much longer shot. And Steven Yeager to win at 57 to 1. The guy hasn't done much this season at all. So I'm not going to blow you away with his stats. But he won here a couple of years ago. He also finished T11 last year and T9 the year before. So here's a guy who knows this course has played this course. And even though this season has been up and down.

22:25He finished with a 68 66 last week to get a T7. So he's playing well at the right time. And I'm going to throw him at 57 to 1. Behrman, last 30 seconds. Anything you love in college hoops in the sweet 16. You got the best better too. I like Sparty. I took Sparty last week. I know it was a popular play and I took him against Louisville. I liked him again against Yukon. Yukon just isn't playing the caliber of basketball that Yukon used to playing. And I think Michigan State wins that one. And I'm going to go under with the St. John's Duke game. Neither one of those teams are pushing the pace much right now. I'll probably take points with St. John's. And I think the game of the watch would be Houston and Illinois. Don't have a play yet on that one. But check me out on Twitter and my newsletter. I'm going to have something by the weekend. David always appreciate it, man. Betting with Behrman. Make sure you check it out. Podcasts, the newsletter. We'll get you an update on our game of the night. It is Vsinn, Primetime.

23:33This is Vsinn Primetime on Vsinn. This sports betting network. This hour of Vsinn Primetime being brought to you by EdgeBoost. New users sign up with the promo code Vsinn and EdgeBoost. We'll match your first deposit up to 50 bucks. Head to EdgeBoost.bet and use the promo code Vsinn to get started. Today, we've got our best bet going on right now. As New Mexico is taking on St. Joe's, the Lobos, lead by three, with 14 and a half minutes to go in the third quarter. It was 39-32 St. Joe's. That was where when the live line dropped two and a half. Since then, New Mexico has outscored the Hawks 17-7. So 49-46 is where we set 51-46, where we set right now. Tim, what were we talking about this a half time? Why didn't we bet a half unit first half? Half unit for the game. We talked about this a lot with underdogs. Because so many times you see dogs run out of steam in the second half.

24:34Hofstra was one example in the NCAA tournament. I bet one unit on St. Joe's, plus 11. Obviously, you should have split that up tonight. But in hindsight, that's where you're looking. But we've talked about this a lot over the past few months. It's easy to talk about it. It's tough to practice it. Yeah. And I think that's the same with Moneyline Rollover Parleys, when you're talking about futures, too. Right now, it's a five point game. Oh, man. This is almost an own basket there. I see Joe's almost scored one for New Mexico. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me tip off of this free throw. Anyway, we're just like a good crowd there at the pit today. Yeah. They're coming out and supporting New Mexico. This would be their final home game of the season. Shout out to three. St. Joe's, Barry's a three. 53-49 with 13 and a half minutes to go. Matt, there was a bet on the board. Apparently, we should have made. And that was the Charlotte Hornets tonight. They won 134 to 90 over the Sacramento Kings.

25:34I think they hit about a billion three pointers in this game. And they went off as 18 point favorites. Did the Charlotte Hornets, the Sacramento Kings, you know, these social media websites, or Twitter feeds, they try to get creative, especially when your team stinks. And this is what they put out on Twitter, Matt. Final. Check NBA.com. 134 to 90. The final score tonight as the Hornets get the victory. Well, the Sacramento Kings got outshot from the three point line tonight. How about this 26 for 55? And I believe it was 20 for 39 to start for the Hornets tonight. But 26 threes. Well, mellow ball made six. Khan Knapple made four. Kobe White was six threes off the bench. I'll tell you why. Looking at the box score here, three, eight different players knocked in a three for the Hornets tonight.

26:35Charlotte Hornets right now, Matt. They've got an opportunity if they get hot to avoid the play in tournament. But that whole bottom portion of the Eastern Conference is very cluttered. The Hornets and Heat have identical records at 38 and 34. The Magic are 38 and 33. And the Sixers are 39 and 33. The Hawks, they're 40 and 32. So a lot can change in the Eastern Conference over the next month of the final regular final month of the regular season. Well, Matt, we've been talking a lot about the NBA draft. Darren Peterson has been eliminated from the NCAA tournament, of course. He and Kansas, as we are watching this game and discussed. And the question has been brought up about Darius Acuff and the possibility as a long shot to be the number one overall pick. Kurt Heeland was on with JVT today on money moves.

27:37Kurt Heeland longtime NBA reporter for NBC. And this is what he had to say regarding the possibility of Darius Acuff being number one overall pick. The top pick thing is the one I don't buy. Like that's where I start to jump off the board. I will tell you that I had Acuff a little lower. And I like his plan. I saw him going back to Hoops on it last year up in Portland, where he just kind of, I don't want to say took over in the second half. It couldn't seem to miss in the second half. He's got just such a dynamic offensive game. But going number one, look. I think they officially list him as six three, but most people I talk to think he's more like six one, you know, without shoes. And he's the worst defender in the lottery, like bar none. And when those front offices start looking at this, they're like, hey, A.J.'s six nine can get his own shot and do all this stuff. And this guy's six foot and doesn't play defense.

28:40Well, I'd agree with that too. I don't think you should be the top pick. A.J. DeBanson should be the top pick. Darren Peterson clearly should not. Peterson plays no defense either. And just a lazy player. Cameron Booser. I don't think he's got that high end athletic ability to him. You feel like he's going to be a solid power forward in the league for a long time. But he shouldn't be the number one pick, right? DeBanson's dynamic score. He can defend. Acuff is valuable because he's a point guard. He's going to bring a lot to the table on the offensive end. But he's a net negative on the defensive end. A lot like Trey Young, a guy from all offense, no defense. Caleb Wilson is going to be in that discussion in the top five. The actual Linda Borg is, I think, an intriguing prospect as well. Kingston Fleming's some of those guys. But yeah, I don't believe Darius Acuff should be the number one pick. But again, we were taking a shot, covering your bases a little bit at 150-100-1 odds.

29:40That maybe a team likes to sacrament of kings. If they get the top pick, they fall in love with Acuff and make him number one. We've seen stranger things happen. Darius Acuff at Fandu, I think these odds are draft kings. Fandu will still 125-1. But there has been a little bit of momentum for Darius Acuff. I'm with you. I don't buy him going one. I think the bet that you have on DeBanson was a great bet to make at the price at plus 5.50 about a month ago. He's now the odds on favorite. How about this, these odds? These odds are from where? I believe these are draft kings. Fandu is similar on the top three. DeBanson's minus 125. Peterson's plus 160. Booser 5-1. But Acuff at Fandu is 125-1. Okay. 125-1 at Fandu, he was 150-1 there a few days ago. Now down to 80-1 at draft kings. I believe so, yeah. I'll tell you, if you're a bookmaker and you start to take a few bets at 100-1 or 150-1,

30:40you're going to lower that pretty quickly. Yeah, there's no doubt. So, does Darius Acuff have enough magic to take down Arizona? It was interesting, Matt, the lone dog, at least at the Westgate Superbook, that was getting some early interest from the public Arkansas, which always makes you a little bit worried. We talked to Ryan Radke, who will be on the call of this game. And certainly, you could hear that he felt like the size would be a little bit overwhelming for Arkansas and how they play. Do they get Nick Pringle back? How healthy is Brazil after taking that shot to the back against high point? The more I think about it, Matt, I had initially, my initial look was figuring out a way to back Arkansas. We talked about some of the trends for John Calapari, if you're a trend person in the NCAA tournament or conference tournament at Kentucky and Arkansas. It's a dog, 11-0-1. ATS is the biggest underdog he's been in his coaching career in the big dance.

31:45That all being said, I think now I'm probably going to stay off this game, but I would actually, I think I might be swayed to look at Arizona a little bit now. Well, if you look at the matchups, the personnel matchups and the exes of those, I think you'd be laying it with Arizona. If you believe in the trends and just say, hey, Calapari is perfect as a dog. He's never been this big of a dog. You get about to raise your backs. I think Arizona is going to overwhelm Arkansas inside. Also with the guards, dribble drive penetration because Arkansas guards are not going to stop in dribble drives. Look, Arizona's got guards who are going to drive to the rim and set up the big men. Looking at the matchups and the exes of those, to me, it's all Arizona. But that trend does scare you a little bit. Yeah, if you're looking at Arizona, Cal is his dog. At his best, as a big dog. We're watching the dog start to get overwhelmed in the second half here. St. Joe's was right in this game and now starting to lose.

32:48Let go of the rope a little bit here in the second half. The Mexico is knocked down a couple of threes, 61, 51, actually 63, 51 after these two, three. That's a 12 point game with 10 and a half minutes to go. You know, that's why live betting is so important. You and I looked at it. There was a chance. It was 3932. You're going to lay two and a half. You're going to lay two and a half. Didn't want to get on the other side. Well, no one behold. We'll see. We're going to be sweating this one out. See if we can get there. Okay, 3932 lead for St. Joe's. They now lead trail 63 to 51. It's 12 points. I'm doing my math here, Matt. 31 to 12 run for New Mexico. Now, it's not great if you have the dog. Hey, this hour of decent prime time brought to you by Edge Boost. If you're serious about betting this March, meet Edge Boost.

So when we are back with you, we will be getting ready for the sweet 16 Thursdays games. Texas Purdue, first up, 710 Eastern Iowa, Nebraska, 730 Eastern, the games that follow Arkansas, Arizona, and then Illinois and Houston. But before that, Matt, start of the baseball season. Opening day across the whole league Thursday, but tomorrow night. We get the San Francisco Giants versus the New York Yankees. And we've got our season-long bets. You've got more than I do. So I'll let you roll through your season-long bets as we get ready for a long baseball season that gets underway this week. Let's start with the regular season win totals here. And we'll go with the West Sacramento A's over the total of 75 and a half. Love the young talent pitching staffs improved.

35:50I think the A's are going to be a team on the rise. I like to 75 and a half over. Royals over 81 and a half. We talked to Cody Decker the first hour. And I agree with him. I think that division's open. I think the door's open for Kansas City to win it. If you believe the Royals win the division play over 81 and a half. Tim, last year, Kansas City was like 81, 82 and 80. 82 and 80 last year. And that was with Bobby Woods Jr. having an off year. I think things would come together better for KC this year. And I do like that team to win the division too. So 81 and a half over for KC. And you're watching to Nationals. I think it'll be about as bad as it gets. So let's bet one of low total under. Which I don't typically do a lot. But the last couple of years we've seen teams like the Rockies hit rock bottom. The Nationals can be really bad under 65 and a half there for the win total. Also two plays in the National League.

36:50Sai Young market Logan Web of the Giants who we're going to see tomorrow night played him a 20 to one. Web has led the National League in ending spits three consecutive years with 200 plus. He led the NL and strike outs last year with 224. And a 20 to one odds. I like his chances. Also no one McLean. Young right handed for the match at 60 to one in this market. Five and one a 2060 R.A. And eight starts when he came up for the match last season. And 57 Ks and 48 innings. He's a guy who has a 30% K rate 60% ground ball rate. There's a lot to like about him. I might be a year early on no one McLean. But hey, I'll take his 60 to one shot. And a guy I think is pretty soon going to be the ace for the Mets. And the American League Garrett crochet of the Red Sox played a five to one. I actually like the Red Sox this season. And again knocked out by the Yankees and wild card round. But if you think about crochet and that Sai Young race with. Terrick Scooball last year. Scooball had 26 first place votes.

37:50Crochet only had four. I thought that race was a lot tighter than that. Garrett crochet 18 and five last season. A 259 war. He led the A.L. and innings pitched with 205. Led to led all major league baseball and strikeouts with 255. Crochet stays healthy. I think he's got a great shot to be Sai Young at five to one. I took one long shot in that market. Cam Schlittler of the Yankees. That's a bomb. He's 50 to one of draft Kings. 300 to one at the Westgate Superbook. So I took the 300 to one instead. Schlittler 14 starts. E.R.A. under three. In game three of the wild card round against Red Sox. Eight innings. Squirrels. 12 Ks. I think he's the real deal. So that's why I've got eight bets or seven bets on the M.O.B. Futures right now. All right, Matt. We'll be having the Nationals on in studio all summer long. To make sure they're losing. As I added that one today, the more and more I thought about it. It is a franchise that unfortunately is in rebuild part two since winning the World Series.

38:54In 2019, Dylan Cruz couldn't even make the opening day roster, which is not super exciting, considering the Nats were the worst team in baseball that year. But the first ever lottery allowed the Pittsburgh Pirates to get Paul Schienz. And Dylan Cruz looks like a bus. But we will see. But I'm under the Nats, so we will have a common play there. I'm over on the White Sox. We talked about this with Cody Decker earlier in the season. Strong finish to the year for the Shy Sox. 28 and 37. In the second half of the year, they go to Japan. They get more Akami, who is someone I think Cody likes to win the Rookie of the Year. At nine to one, I want to say. So it could be a big bat in the White Sox lineup. And then did the Orioles to make the playoffs. I got that at plus one ten. I believe I got that at Nick Bogdonvich's House Boomer Sportsbook plus one ten. Matt, these were your selections. Let's take a look at them once again for the Vsyn MLB Futures draft. And these were your selections. Now, you got to obviously know the rules for our draft that were out there.

39:57But these are the picks that you rolled with this year. As a ten handicapers, a snake draft. I think I had the seventh overall pick. I took the Brewers as a division winner. A plus 275. The Orioles to win the American League. We had to pick a pennant winner. I got ten to one odds on that. My last pick of the draft was a World Series winner. Because the Dodgers are such a short price. It's probably going to win it. I didn't want to use a high draft pick on another team to win the World Series. I grabbed the Cubs at 18-1. I do like the Cubs this season. Win total over A's 75-and-a-half. Win total under Nationals 65-and-a-half. American League MVP. I want to say Aaron Judge does not win it this year. A big dumper. Cal Rally. 8 plus 8.50. How about National League MVP? Let's say Shohei doesn't win it. Ronald Acunio of the Braves at 12-1. I like that as a secondary play there. I know everyone assumes Otani is going to win it. But the guy is not going to win it every year. All right.

40:59Let's go with AL-Sai Young. Cam slutler. 50-1. NL-Sai Young. Nolan McClain. 35-1. You can tell there's much better odds out there in the market than what we played for this draft. And we had to use draft Kings odds. Rookie of the Year. JJ Weatherhole of the Cardinals. Plus 425. And manager of the year. Matt Quintaro of the Royals at 22. Quintaro of the Royals 22-1. That's part of what Cody Decker and I were talking about being high on the Kansas City Royals. As far as tomorrow night. With Logan Webb starting against Max Fried. A total seven. 10. I would probably look under. But again, first five. Maybe Giants. First five. Yankees are a slight favorites here for the game at minus 114. I might look to play the Giants here in the first five tomorrow night. But I have not that day. Giants right now. First five. You're going to minus 105 at the Superbook. Total three and a half.

41:59This will be eight o'clock start in the Bay area. So baseball season is upon us. Also tomorrow. Once again, you and I won't be on the air. We will have our selections for the Circa College Hoops contest. Matt, want to revisit what we will have to select for the sweet 16. Yeah, the deadline is 6 p.m. Pacific tomorrow night. And we got five picks for the sweet 16. Sides or totals from the Thursday and Friday games. So we've had 33 of the 45 total picks in this contest have been made so far. 12 left. 10. We don't have a lot of time here. A lot of picks left to make up ground. And there's going to be a lot of, you know, some common selections here. Two at the top. So it makes it even tougher to gain ground. Paul Stone on top right now. 21 points. 20 and 13 against the spread. Two and two on his best bets. Ken Thompson right there. Las Vegas radio host and handicapper KT. One point back. David Deneen. JVT. Christmas. Sarah Tim Murray in that pack of two points back of a Paul Stone.

43:00So still a ways to go here. Paul Stone has not locked up back to back championships. But Tim, it's the time is running out. You and I have to get hot here Thursday and Friday. Well, we need you to go on Paul Stone's podcast and mush him and tell him that you've already called the trophy shop. Because that's what happened on Saturday morning. I was in first place. This guy comes on the show and he says, we've already called the trophy shop. What's her name? Judy over. Vegas trophy. Already called Judy to put your name on the trophy. I'm just going to call her and say, put just put Christmas arrows name on both trophies. We haven't made the football trophy yet. You want me to call her and say, hey, put Paul Stone's name on. Yes. We need to eat all the bad juju we could get for Paul. Paul Stone doesn't need back to back champions. Come on now. If he earns it. I know. He's been doing great. It could be like the Yukon Huskies back to back. We hope he's more like the Florida Gators, but we will see Paul's picks. We'll be in Kent.

44:01Yeah, David Bearman. Matt about that. All right. Before we get out of here, Matt, I'm going to join the professor tomorrow. I'm going to take the Wolfpack plus nine and a half at Auburn. Another NIT bet. So I'm sure I'll be hating myself around this time tomorrow night. St. Joe's down 10. So hopefully we could fight. Fight for us, Hawks. Come on. Come on. Fight for the Hawks here. So picks in tomorrow. Matt and I will be back with you on Thursday night for the sweet 16. And that is going to be a great night of hoops. We have four games to talk and live bet and break down for you on Thursday night. Great show tonight. Thanks to everyone who joined us, including Cody Decker, Jeff Sherman, Jim Root, Matt Grill, Ryan Radke, and David Bearman. Thanks to Corey on our production team behind the scenes.
