Let's go places. This is Fiesin Prime Time, live from the circus sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas. On Fiesin, the sports betting network. We're off and running on a Monday evening. Alongside Matt humans, I'm Tim Murray. As we got two teams about to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament, the Sun Belt Championship,

Georgia Southern, and Troy about to tip off Matt and Ferman versus East Tennessee State and the Southern Conference Championship. A bunch of other conference tournaments going on. The big boys will get rolling later on this week. Fun weekend to wrap things up in college basketball. A couple of auto bids handed out, Matt. It's a great time of year right now. As if you're a college basketball better, hell, if you're not a college basketball better, just to take it all in. Yeah, if you're a college who's fan or better, there's no better time than this. I mean, if you think about since Friday and every sport, there's been an insane array of bad beats. Baseball, golf, college hoops. I mean, you just go through everything that's happened since Friday. We're just going to have Brazil plus nine and a half. Well, that's what I'm talking about. But we're just getting started. The next two weeks are going to be crazy in terms of college hoops and some of the bad beats and crazy things you're going to see happening here. So we're looking forward to it.

And I can't say I love tonight's card. I tried to find some plays on tonight's card. It's difficult. This is all small conference stuff tonight, which sometimes you can find some great bets in these small conference tournaments. I just don't love what we have on tonight's card. But this week, I think there are going to be so many good college hoops betting opportunities. I can't wait for it because conference tournaments, you got more games. You got better spots, better situational spots, softer numbers. This week is actually a better betting week than next week when we get to the big tournament. So maybe not today, but the rest of the week's going to be great. Yeah, it's going to be no doubt a fun week. We got a lot of NFL news, of course. Today, teams very busy and free agency had some trades over the weekend. So we'll dive into that. We also have team USA versus Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. That game will tip off or get going. Not tip off. First pitch around eight o'clock in the East Paul schemes. We'll get the ball for the Americans. They are minus 525 on the money line, three and a half on the

run line, total sitting at 11 in that game. So the quarterfinals should be a good one. Well, the professor on later on in the show, he's got to hope to will home his high points, which already has cashed and team USA to win their group future. So he gave that out last week and USA out to a two and a start in the World Baseball Classic. But I echo your sentiment, Matt. I do have one small small play on the card tonight. I did take a little bit with Santa Clara at four and a half a little bit of a a middle chance to because I do have a future on Santa Clara to miss the NCAA tournament. And that ticket did not really have a great weekend because every bubble team it seemed lost over the weekend. It was it was quite the weekend. To follow up on that point, do we have that graphic of the bubble teams that all lost on Saturday. If you look at the first four out, the last four in the first four out and all the teams on

the bubble on the weekend, it was insane. How many of those teams lost? In fact, I'll go ahead and call up all the teams here that run the bubble and the lost. Here was a Saturday, Missouri, Texas, SMU, Indiana, New Mexico, Auburn, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, and California. That was Joe Leonard. He's last seven at large teams on his first five teams out of the field. Nine of them played and those nine went O and nine. This is, you know, we were talking about this Friday night with Will Hill on the on the show. He said this might be the softest bubble he can ever remember for the tournament. I think that's probably the case. You know, it's ironic right now we're talking about expanding the NCAA tournament and you're having trouble finding 68 teams. They're actually worthy of being in this tournament and a lot of these teams on the bubble are losing. Evan Mia, who does advanced numbers. He tweeted this out earlier today. He said this year's bubble is

objectively the worst we've ever had based on how much worse the average bubble team is compared to the top teams in the sport. We ranked the worst bubbles in the last 15 years. Number one, 2026, number two, 2015, number three, 2024, number four last year, and then number five, 2019. I mean, if you think about it 10 last night, you're watching the West Coast Conference tournament here at the Orleans Arena in Vegas. Santa Clara is playing Pacific and Pacific is nothing special. But they they frame the game on the ESPN last night as if Santa Clara wins this game, it's going to be in the tournament. Think about that. All you had to do is get in the West Coast Conference semis and be Pacific to be on the right side of the bubble for the tournament. I know you got a future on this. I'm not saying Santa Clara is a lot to get in. Might have to win tonight too. If they win tonight, I think they're a lot. Well, if they win tonight, they're in for sure. But that shows you how soft the bubble is when a team like Santa Clara

is considered to be in the tournament because all the other bubble teams are losing. Well, and the other question you have to ask yourself, man, as we've heard from, you know, NEPO baby after the weekend, when Auburn lost again, that they believe they should be in. They've got 15 losses. They're going to pick up their 16th loss. At some point this week, I would much rather, even though I have a ticket on them to miss the field, I would much rather see a team like Santa Clara get into the NCAA tournament. Obviously, the nauseating discussion about Miami, they're able to finish off a regular season on beaten with the 110 108 overtime win on Friday night. And they will start the Mac tournament later on this week. Three games of three days though. And they are not the betting favorite in that conference tournament. We'll dive into that here in just a little bit. But let's dive into what is our game of the night. Now, I would say, Matt, if Santa Clara and St. Mary's was at 9 p.m. Eastern, no doubt this would be our game in the night. The problem is, this is a live betting show. And we like to look for opportunities to bet games live. That game won't tip off until around 11 30 Eastern

830 Pacific. So we will stay in the West Coast conference and we will make that other game, our game of the night. Half point favorite tonight against Oregon States. This has been an arena that has been called Spokane South. There will be a lot of Gonzaga fans inside this arena. It is the final appearance for Gonzaga in the WCC tournament, as they will head to the new pack 12 come next year. So if you do like the favorite, there are, there is a 19 and a half out there, but we'll call it 20, 20 and a half right now, Matt. Any interest in backing Wayne Tinkle in his final ride as the Oregon State head coach. You know what, the beavers got off to a bad start last night and we're back to win that game. 78 77. That was a pretty good game. I watched last night and the beavers are

playing for their coach for Wayne Tinkle. They want to keep his story alive and don't forget he got authored to one of the most ridiculous Cinderella stories when Oregon State rolled through the pack 12 tournament and reached the elite eight. Yeah. What was that? Was that about five years ago? I know I was working at Veecin. So it was either four or five years ago. Yeah, that's probably maybe four years ago. And Wayne Tinkle is an outstanding coach, but he is at the end of the road here and I think the beavers are too. This is a type of game tonight where you would think Gonzaga can almost name the score. You got to wonder, you know, if you're laying this big number, a lot point to they call off the dogs in the second half and get ready for the St. Mary's game. Or the championship game, the winner of St. Mary's Santa Clara. 20 and a half was too big a number. Now if you wanted to lay it with a favorite, there was 18 and a half out there for a while. I think that was your opportunity. Now you would have to lie bet this game if you're going to play it, but I thought the beavers played well last night. They shot, shot it well. They got hopped from three and they can hang around in this game, but just not enough there for me to take 20 and a half

Oregon State because these teams met about a month ago. February 7th and Gonzaga won that came 81-61 and Graham EK went berserk and that came and had 35 points. He can pretty much do whatever he wants down the low against this Oregon State team tonight. I got a feeling the beavers are going to hang in the game, but either not enough that I was going to take to 20 and a half. Lots of mid major hoops going on across the board tonight. So it's, you know, we've always kind of joked how week the Mondays have been from a number of games. We usually have one or two big ones right in the on the card today. All the big conferences are off. They don't start their conference tournaments until tomorrow or later, but we do have a lot of mid majors. We will keep an eye on and two bids will be punched today East Tennessee State. They're taking on Furman right now. The Southern Conference that came six to six, 1649 to go in that one and in the Sunbelt Conference Troy, the number one seed taking on the 10 seed Georgia Southern. The Sunbelt, their conference

tournament met very much rewards the best teams in Georgia Southern. The 10 seed has won five games in five days to get to the Sunbelt Conference Championship game. Well, this is the longest conference tournament road for any team in history. Yep. No teams ever played more than six games at six days. Georgia Southern and try to pull off the highly improbable in this game tonight. So there's two ways to look at this. I'm looking at the total. It's 153. I considered playing this under two because you got to think a team playing six days in a row. No legs on the jump shots, right? You got to think that this team's got a fade at some point. The flip side to that would be 10. They might not have the energy to play defense and are they going to be able to hang in this game for 40 minutes playing six games in six days against top team in the conference. I would say no, I can't play the 10 seed and I can only play under the total because you got to think that the legs are not going to be there in the jump shots and this thing is more likely to stay under the total.

At the first media time out, the Trojans of Troy lead eight to three and that total met your inclination through four minutes was accurate. It is down to 148 and a half. So Troy Trojans and East Tennessee Buccaneers, both one seeds. We saw some upsets over the weekend. We saw four number one seeds in conference tournaments all knocked out. Navy on a buzzer beater by Boston University, Belmont in Arch Madness, UNC Wilmington and the CAA and Central Arkansas Ferman with a four point lead over the top seed in the Socon East Tennessee. Keep you updated on that. But we also have Paul Skeens on the Hill tonight World Baseball Classic and a gentleman who played in the WBC Cody Decker. He'll join us next. Let me get your attention real quick podcast listeners. It's March, which means the madness is officially upon us and the folks at Vison have really gone crazy with

Now back to the show. This is March. It's never been easier to cash in on the action. The juiciest bet on the tournament. It's right here and all you need is beer. Voodoo Ranger presents bet on 11th. Grab a can of G4 side PA clocking in at a bold 11% ABV and bet that beer. Here's the play. If an 11 seed pulls off an upset, 1,100 fans also win cash for their next round of beer. Or hey, keep the cash it's your money. So when it lose, you still win because you've still got beer. Grab a can of G4 side PA with 11% ABV and bet that beer at bet on 11.com. After 11 seed advances, you've got

to shot at a seriously juicy prize bet on 11 cash in on the chaos. Legal and all 50 states must be 21 or older to enter and no purchase necessary. Learn more at bet on 11.com.

This is Vincent Prybhtyme on FISA, the sports betting network. Alongside Mad Humans, I'm Tim Murray. We'll talk some NFL free agency later on in the hour. Tyler

Linderbaum is going to be our new neighbor, Matt. Coming to the Las Vegas Raiders, a record setting deal for a center and a Raiders superfan joins us right now. The one and only Cody Decker, who texted me today and was just, he was out of, he just couldn't believe how excited he was about Tyler Linderbaum snapping the ball to Fernando Mendoza. We got a center, baby. There's a chance, a real chance, a real chance that that first round running back we got last year might actually get to actually get to the line before he breaks 11 tackles. Think about that. Think about that, Tim Murray. That would be, that would be nice. Matt, Matt was not a big fan of the Ashen genty selection and I agreed because you can't run the ball when you can't block in front of you. But we brought you on Cody Decker, a WBC alum to talk a little world baseball classic tonight in Houston. Paul Schienz will take the hill against Mexico, the United States, two and oh,

Mexico, two and oh, both in pool play. As you would imagine, the USA, a massive favorite. What do you expect from Schienz tonight and what have you seen from team USA through these first two games? The bats are alive and that's important in the tournament like this, especially when it comes to international play. I know we lean on pitching, but right now I don't think you can lean on pitching for any side and that includes with Paul Schienz. I mean, make no mistake. Derek Scuba was very dominant, but what happened on that first picture of the game again? Ah, gave up a homer. That's right. Paul Schienz don't think he's not capable of giving up a homer early and this being kind of a long, growl, gal game because keep mind there's a pitch count on just about everyone. And you know the pirates don't want exactly Paul Schienz to be pushed to the limit this season. This is going to be an interesting game. There is a history behind this game where Mexico has had the US's number. Now you could make the argument, well, it's a different team and different grouping of players of which I do agree. But as someone that's played in the WBC and has felt the weight of past generations of ball players, just basically climbing and munking their way

onto your back. It's going to be an interesting game tonight, not to mention all the things that have been said by Benji Gil, the manager of the Mexican team because you heard Mark Loretta saying, oh, we got the best 30 players in the world. And right away, it led to Benji Gil responding. I don't know. I think Japan, Venezuela, the Dominican would have something to say about that. And he didn't even bring up his own team at Mexico. Take no slouches, man. Yeah, you're right about that. You know what? Friday night, US was laying nine and a half runs and eight five going to the night scored seven runs when the game 15 to five. That was wild. Cody, as you look at this, any matchups coming up, any bets that you would like here. Just in this game, anything that involves Kyle Schwarber is a bet for me. If I'm going to get him at total bases, I'm going to go over one and a half total bases. This man is just enlightening Rod for this team. You know what Kyle Schwarber does in big situations. Whenever I look at this US team, I always try to find Kyle Schwarber. Outside of that, I do not like the run line for the team USA

right now at minus three and a half runs. This is going to be a closer game. I think that people are giving a credit for. I know they're seeing all the big names. I know they're seeing Paul Schienz on the mound, but Paul can't go past six innings in a best case scenario. So this is going to be a very, very interesting game tonight. US and Mexico are likely going to be moving on regardless, but where they're going to be in that seating in the next round. We'll find out. Cody Decker joining us here, Keshe's podcast, Beetle and Decker. I filled in for Miss Michelle Beetle on Friday. I had a lot of fun with my buddy Cody Decker there. All right. Just taking a step back here. It feels like the three best teams in the WBC in no particular order. USA Japan in the Dominican Republic. Japan has already moved on. They won pool C, the Dominican winning in a walkoff 12 1 yesterday. It looks like Japan and the DR maybe destined to play each other in the semi finals. It looks a little more clear for the United States futures wise. Are you looking at anything right now for the WBC? I've been on Japan from the get go. Keep in mind, there's been

five WBCs in Japan is one three of them. This is a country and a league that just turns out superstar after superstar after superstar. And I've been trying to warn people when you could get them at a very good price to jump all over it, because let's be real clear. They are very good at baseball in Japan. Also, I think we're not paying enough attention to Korea going forward as well. I know it's a foregone conclusion. We expect Japan to be in the finals here, but Korea is not a bad team at all. You saw the emotion that they showed today after beat knocking out Australia the way they did. There's something about this international play that brings out a lot of interesting things. Make a mistake in 2017. We were one win away from going to dodge your stadium. And I was on team Israel. Like these tournaments, there's always one team that's kind of the fly in the ointment then. Korea won that game over Australia. Seven to two team Israel got to be 10 to one today. Any more world baseball or can we talk about? Yeah, we can talk to them. I'll be all right, Cody. I think you were part of one point to New York Mets organization. Are you optimistic about the Mets this

season and that young pitcher Nolan McLean? I am optimistic as far as you can be optimistic about the Mets. They're the Mets. They always find a way to met in any situation humanly possible. You know, right out right away starting the season with Outland door because of the hammockbone issue. That sucks. And their pitching always seems to be an issue. And it's never an issue with paying people. It's just what's that bullpen going to look like now that you don't have your Surefire closer over and there in Los Angeles at the moment. Are we really expecting the man you got from the Yankees who fell off a complete cliff last year for a good 75% of the season to kind of return to form in Queens? I don't know. I know the Phillies are very, very determined to win some games, even though I'm a little frustrated with the lack of moves that they made. The Marlins, even though they spend absolutely no money are getting better day by day. And the Washington Nationals, I'm just kidding. They're not going to do anything to Murray 2019 was fun under 65 and a half wins for the Nationals. How about another team? I thought you were a part of a one point.

How about the Kansas City Royals? I liked this one total 81 and a half over. Do you will co-sign that or not? I co-sign that over. Absolutely. Bobby Witt Jr. is a superstar and they've started to put a pretty good team around them. Can the young guys kind of pick it up, like Jack Hagley on, who they touted last year as basically Bryce Harper before even got stepped in the box? Can he come into his own? They're a very, very interesting team. In a very winnable American League Central, I think everybody right now is just penciling the Detroit Tigers, but you know, you sleep on the Kansas City Royals at your own peril. It's very clear that the Minnesota twins are planning to take the step back. They've already unloaded a few guys. I don't know what we're going to expecting entirely out of the white socks. The Chicago white socks are going to get better, but better for them is getting them closer to 500 right now, rather than the idea of competing for a playoff spot. The Kansas City Royals are going to win over 82 to 85 games. The question is, do they make the playoffs? Cody Decker joining us here at Decker 6, former team Israel star,

as well as San Diego, Padre, and handful of other organizations throughout your career. Seattle Mariners, a team that I believe you were high on last year, also close to getting to their first ever World Series in franchise history. What are you expecting from the Mariners this year? Are you looking at their futures? Best team in the American League. Right now, I already have a ticket out on Dodgers versus the Mariners in the World Series. This is not the best pitching staff in the American League. This might be the best pitching staff in Major League Baseball, and I'm including the aforementioned Dodgers in that conversation. This team has everything to win. I was a little frustrated. They didn't improve the bats just a little, but I understand taking that Josh Neler deal at 95 million dollars is something you had to jump all over. This is a team that has all of the makings of a championship team. Let's get this team over the hump, man. They've been a god tier pitching staff for the last five years, and last year was the first year their bats kind of came alive. And I'm not expecting Cal Raleigh to hit another 65 home runs, but I am expecting a good year from

him. Him with J. Rod. You get Neler in there for an entire season. This team has all the makings to be a champion and make no mistake. You saw how close it was for the Toronto Blue Jays to take down the Dodgers. This team should have beaten the Blue Jays to get to that World Series. It's going to be a hell of a World Series if it happens. How about your Padres? Is there a team in the NL West? Padres, Giants, is there a team that can put any heat on the Dodgers? Padres are definitely going to put heat on the Dodgers. No question about it. They always do, but they are going to finish behind them. However, the team in the National League West, I think, is being criminally under-discussed right now, is the Arizona Diamondbacks. I think people are sleeping on the Diamondbacks at their own peril, not on like three years ago. They're going to be coming back healthy. They're going to be coming back ready. They got their hands back on Zach Galen at a borderline steal. This is a team that may not be pushing the Dodgers for first place, but we saw what they could do in the playoffs two years ago. That's a young core of ball players that are damn, damn good. Do not sleep on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Check out Beetle and Decker. It's a podcast weekly hosted by that man. Cody Decker and Michelle

Beetle. Daily. Daily. I say weekly. I'm sorry. Daily, my fault. Monday through Friday. The regulars is biweekly. There's that too. And follow him on Twitter. He'll point you in the right direction. Cody always appreciate it, man. Appreciate you. Appreciate me. Cody Decker. Joining us and we had some fun point break references during our off air conversation. Anytime you could talk point break with Matt humans, it'll put a smile on his face. You target me too. By the way, I tell you why Georgia Southern struggling offensively out of the gate here in the Sunbelt championship. Troy 18 to 11. We're at the midpoint of the first half. Yeah. Right now, the the live total you had a feeling that maybe the under was the look in that game. The live total is down eight points from where it closed right now. Live number 145 and a half in the Sunbelt championship as the Georgia Southern Eagles try to become the first team to ever clinch a auto bid in the NCAA tournament, winning six games in six days. The Southern Conference

Championship going on and the Ferman Paladins right now, a three point lead over East Tennessee state. They are a slight favorite on the live line. We'll get you updated on everything going on across college basketball as well as some NFL news and notes. This is recent prime time on Fison, the sports betting network. Two bids to the NCAA tournament on the line this evening as Ferman, the sixth seed of the Southern Conference has a four point lead right now over East Tennessee states already punching their ticket to the dance. Queens for the first time ever is headed to the NCAA tournament as they were four to one to, uh, to bring home the Atlantic Sun high point. A team that we talked to the professor last week about high point. You really like the high point Panthers. They were able to

get home as well. Northern Iowa, the sixth seed in the Missouri Valley, Ali Farouk Manesh memories coming through was Northern Iowa one arch madness. The interesting angle here Matt as we look at this graphic on the screen for those you watching with us L I U has already punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament. The oddity about this, they still have a game to play. They'll be taking on Mercyhurst tomorrow at home, but their ticket is already punched. So is Mercyhurst a look as a five and a half point underdog in that spot Tennessee state led by Nolan Smith, the former Duke guard. They're headed to the dance at plus 220 was the number in the Ohio Valley. They were the one seed in a North Dakota state last night, one that the summit leagues toe the bison headed to the dance after they beat North Dakota by nine last night. Obviously, there are a few favorites that couldn't be good bets

in these conference tournaments. I did play Tennessee state in the Ohio Valley. I did not play high point. I regretted that because they rolled through it. You know, we talked about this with the professor a week ago high point open minus 120 that number closed higher than two dollars. There was a lot of sharp money on high point to win the big south and that came through without a sweat. The Missouri Valley, I know some handy capers who played Northern Iowa at six to one odds or higher to win that. And the Panthers were what the six seed. Yeah, six seed to win the Missouri Valley. But yeah, North Dakota state was another favorite of the summit league that one last night. I believe you bet that game last night, right? I did. Yeah, I got very fortunate. North Dakota for those I had North Dakota plus 11. So they were down 11 North Dakota was on the final possession of the game and they put up a three. They made the three and then they did not foul. So a little a little fortune for for me last night with the fighting hawks as they go by now. North Dakota

getting the cover against North Dakota state. Well, I had a fortunate cover with Pacific plus nine and a half last night against the Santa Clara. Sometimes you need to take the take the money and run. I don't know. You know, we get we have enough bad beats. Take the lucky wins where you could get them. But yeah, the the favorites winning conference tournaments when you look at a high point Tennessee state North Dakota state. Those are some of the strongest favorites out there in each small conference tournaments update right now. Troy number one seed in the Sun belt up 20 to 11 on Georgia Southern. Man, now I regret not betting the total in this game. I was very close to playing this under 153 today. The live total is down to 135 and a half 20 to 11. Georgia Southern cannot get anything going offensively. And look, this this Troy defense been swarming. Not many open looks. You know, it's funny. I remember back to the the beginning of the year. Troy was a team that had a instant classic against San Diego state and USC on back to back days. They beat the wildest

games in the entire season. They beat San Diego state and double over time on November 18th 108 107 at V Ahas. Then they travel up to LA and they take on USC and it was a crazy back and forth game. There were buzzer beaters left and right and they won that game and three over time. They lost that game. I'm sorry. They lost a year. Right. Sorry. They lost that game 107 106. So look, Detroit Trojans could be an interesting team, you know, depending on where they ultimately land, if they do win this game against Georgia Southern. Right now, if you're looking at bracket matrix, looks like they're projected to be around a 14 seed. So that 314 game. That's going to be a dangerous team. Yeah, it is. That'll test it. You know, I mean, we talk so much about Miami. I'm set pick right now. First round Troy over Purdue. By the way, 314 game. The Purdue whisperer brought home another win and ladies and gentlemen, the man in first place of the circa college.

Well, we're you and I are tied for. But the tie breaker goes to you tie breaker with the best bet record, but you're seven two and one. I'm seven and three. I'm two and oh, I'm best bet your one and one, but Paul Stone still hanging tough up there. He's not going to go anywhere. How about David Denean bounces back from the top girlfriend? The first weekend was a debacle for Denean. He took his girlfriend out for a birthday. Took her out in the date. Didn't the handicap to card. He went one and four bounces back this week to go five and oh, see what can happen when you got a good handicap or who's fully focused on handicapped in a card. David Denean bounces back with a five and oh, Ken Thompson, Chip Turembus, Joe Cerralo, Doug Kazarian, all right there at five and five or better. And Christmas, Sarah, uh, page two of the leaderboard Will Hill, Christmas, Sarah, JVT also at five and five. And then we've got some guys who don't worry. You got plenty of time to make up ground, Ryan Kramer, Dustin Sweetleson, the professor Aaron Moore and Greg Hoops Peterson in 15th out of 15 handicappers right now. But again, this is just a warmup act.

10th, the first two weeks, the 10 plays next Thursday and Friday, we're going to have 15 plays per handicapper. It's 33% of this entire circuit college hoops challenge event. So I got a plenty of time to make up ground if you're off to a slow start. Yeah. No, no plays this weekend for those you wondering. It's pretty challenging for our team to behind the scenes to get things up and running with, you know, odds coming up late on Friday night, early Saturday morning. So no picks this weekend. But as Matt mentioned, a ton of them come in your way for the first round of the NCAA tournament. And then that Saturday of the first weekend of the tournament, we'll have more picks. How many picks for the second round? I think eight eight. Yeah. So 15 for Thursday and Friday, they believe eight picks for the Friday. Excuse me for eight picks for the Saturday and Sunday games. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll have those for you on the visa and weekend morning line. But it's 23 picks in the first four days of the tournament, right? Yeah, you can't win it

in the first couple of rounds. But I don't know if you can lose it either. We'll see if we get someone get hot because like you said, David Denean, 5 and 0 and just like that, he's right there in fourth place. So good weekend by you, Mr. Humans, a four and one weekend with your best bet coming home and a late night winner. I tailed you late night. I ended up taking the over in Long Beach versus Hawaii. And that was a relatively easy over to hit late night on the island. I tell you why, I didn't go the way I planned it. I thought it was going to be the opposite with Hawaii winning by double digits. And what a, that was a bad loss for the Hawaii basketball team late Saturday night. You got a chance to clinch a share of the big West championship and flop at home is a 14 point favorite. The money line here at circuit when the game tipped off is minus 1900. That's a bad loss to Long Beach state. A team that didn't even qualify for the big West tournament here in Henderson, Nevada, beats Hawaii in the regular season finale out on the island. Hawaii will be the

two seed to get a double buy to the semi finals along with UC Irvine. And as the show goes on, man, I do want to just look at a lot of these odds that we have. These conference tournaments, fresh odds. People are going to be looking up and down the board. Jen, it's just like a general thought for you on some of these bigger conference tournaments. You look at a Duke around minus 350 to win the ACC. Not going to bet. You look at Florida is going to be a big favor in the SEC. Shock, not, I guess they never does, but chalk tends to not always come home in these major conference tournaments. And you know what? These coaches are well aware of this part too. A lot of times those teams are better off not winning those conference tournaments because you got to spend them, expend a lot of energy. A lot of times you're playing three days in a row and you're better off. If you're rested a little bit for the NCAA tournament the next week, if you're not playing the three games in three days and expending all the energy trying to win one of those major conference tournaments. So I don't think the coach is like Todd Golden is not going to push his

players, you know, hard as hell to say, we got to win this SEC tournament better off not winning it. Actually, that's kind of the unspoken secret there. I think that a lot of coaches like even dusty may probably doesn't really care if Michigan wins the big 10 tournament, right? Yeah, I mean, especially Michigan, Matt, they're, I mean, they're the last one, right? I mean, the big 10 championship leads into selection Sunday. By the way, selection Sunday, some special programming starting at 4 p.m. Eastern, it'll be me and JVT on the air when the bracket is revealed. And then you and Hoops Peterson will follow us. So from four to 10 Eastern on Sunday, be locked into Vs in it. It'll be four hours with me and JVT and then Hoops and Mr. humans will follow that from eight to 10 Eastern time. So we two hours. Yeah, I believe that's two hours. That's easy. That's no sweat. We do four hours here every day. You know what? I'm going to look for some warrior shots. I'm going to put a column up on Vsyn.com tomorrow. Work on it tonight. Do my usual 430 in the morning spot with Super Dave and Jensen. And I'll have a column up tomorrow on some conference

tournament. Best bets. You know, a lot of time. I'm not going to play the favorite many of these. I said I played Tennessee State one favorite last week, but there's not too many favorites. I'm going to look to play in these conference tournaments this week. And there are some long shots that look pretty attracted to me. So I'll put those up on Vsyn.com. We'll talk about them tomorrow night. The six seed in the Southern Conference right now up double digits. The Furman Paladins lead East Tennessee State 37 to 27 live number at the under four media time out. Furman a six and a half point favorite. This is March. It's never been easier to cash in on the action. The juiciest bet on the tournament. It's right here and all you need is beer. Voodoo Ranger presents bet on 11th.

Will you be backing Ferman or Troy in a survivor contest? Probably not. But Ferman right now up 10 on East Tennessee State, the number one seed in the Southern Conference. And right now, the live number on this game sale sits at six and a half. And the Troy Trojans Matt, it looks like Georgia Southern might have run out of gas six game and six days live total down to 142 and a half. And the Troy Trojans are 13 and a half point favorites. Well, if you think about what Georgia Southern had to do here when six games and six days, and they win five and five. And then you run up against the top seed. That's a hell of a lot to ask. Paul Howard tweeted this right at the end of his show tonight. Georgia Southern was 300 to

one odds to win the Sunbelt before the tournament started here at circus sports. A 300 to one shot. If you actually bet that you get to tonight, you obviously could have made some money off that ticket. But it looks like Georgia Southern is out of gas here down 14 in the final minute of the first half. Top seed Troy on the way to winning the Sunbelt. And the top seed in the Socon East Tennessee and some trouble here down eight in the final minute of the first half to affirmant. Yeah, when this game gets the half, I might say look at East Tennessee, just how they were shooting in this first half. Maybe a look from a live standpoint. But right now, a seven point deficit for the top seed in the Southern Conference. 4135 is actually the score right now. You could if you wanted to bet East Tennessee, you get plus four and a half. It was just six and a half a moment ago. So we'll see how this first half comes to a close. Still to come tonight. Oregon State in Gonzaga. The Zags right now around a 20 point favorite against Oregon State. That's the one four match up in the WCC. Then the big one tonight.

Santa Clara St. Mary's that one expected to tip around 1130 Eastern or so. And right now, the Gales are four and a half point favorite. So it's been a busy day, Matt. Not only with college basketball wrapping up the regular season, but we have NFL free agency underway and a lot of big moves. How about the Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker going to Kansas City. So a big move there by the chiefs after missing out on the playoffs, they have acquired Kenneth Walker, Mike Evans going from Tampa to San Francisco to a released in Miami. He signs to be the backup in Atlanta and Malik Willis. He will be the new starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, Matt. He follows his defensive coordinator Jeff Hathley down to Miami. Obviously Jeff Hathley saw enough of Malik Willis in the Green Bay organization to say, Hey, this could be our franchise quarterback because you're pinning your hopes to a guy made six starts. And you're also look, well, everyone on the planet

aside from Tua his family and his agent knew that was a dumb contract Dolphins did with him last year, right? Did anybody, anybody think that was a smart move? Dolphins now have to eat 99 million in dead cap money and they guaranteed to a lot 54 million for this year. So he signs on the cheap. It's all offsetting offsetting language, right? So he said, Hey, he's going to be very cheap for the Dolphins or for the Falcons. Yeah. Not cheap for the Dolphins. Not cheap for the Dolphins. They're going to pay for their mistake and they're going to pay a heavy price for that mistake, that to a contract last year that nobody thought was a good idea. And I said the same thing about the Sean Watson contract at the time, two of the worst contracts you're ever going to see. But how about the Raiders? Let's talk about the Las Vegas Raiders. It's got to be positive for the first time in a while. Tyler Linda Bond, Linda Bond, signs for three years and 81 million. Now it's extreme to give a center 27 million guaranteed per year. You're actually busting the market open on centers. I believe the highest paid center was what 17 or 18 million.

But the Raiders absolutely have to build that offensive line or the running back he drafted in the top 10 a year ago, the quarterback are going to draft number one this year. They still have some work to do in that offensive line. They also signed how about this? Quay Walker, linebacker from the Packers. He was the first round draft picking 2022. Nicobie Dean, linebacker from the Eagles, Jalen Nailer, wide receiver, Quiddy Pay, defensive end, Eric Stokes, corner, Malcolm, Malcolm Coons, defensive end. And they traded for Tehran Johnson in the corner. And the Raiders, the busiest team, they had the most cap space. But it's obvious that John Spitech and Tom Brady had laid out a plan. This is what we're going to do. This is how we're going to spend the money. And I think you have to love, you have to really like or you have to love what the Raiders have done here. Well, what I also like too is you look at all the the deals that they made today, Matt, what do they have in common? Three years or less. That's important. Why? Because Fernando Mendoza is going to be cheap for four to five years. You're not going to have to pay Ashen

Gentie for another three years. Or so if you end up keeping Ashen Gentie. So you've got. Well, you just watched the Seahawks that Kenneth Walker walk. It's the running backs rarely get a second contract, right? It's probably not going to happen. But also we should mention, the Raiders traded Max Crosby for two first round draft picks. A lot of positives happening here with the Raiders. Yeah, that happened late on Friday nights. We have a time to discuss that. But yeah, what do you make of the Baltimore Ravens? We're going to talk to Johnny Avello top of the hour. What moves did they make in the futures market based off in the Max Crosby deal? I had Thomas Gabel from the Borgata and AC on the Vecin weekend morning line. They moved from 12 to 10 to one. Actually, I think he states state status quo on the futures so in the Super Bowl, but moved them from I believe down to minus 140 to win the AFC north. If I remember correctly, but we can get that clip. We'll play it a little bit later on in the show. But what do you make of the move? Who did you like coming out of that? Max Crosby shipped out,

and the Las Vegas Raiders get the 14th overall pick this year, and next year's first round pick as well for the Raiders. So, Will Hill and I talked about this. It was breaking news during our show Friday night. I believe we had Chris Miserro and Studio at the time. It's a cop out to say it's a win-win for both teams. I think it is a good deal for both teams. To me, it's a better deal for the Raiders. Crosby is getting to the age and to the point in his career where you're going to start to see it. And you have start to see seen a decline in his production. And if I set all along, if the Raiders get two first rounders for Crosby, you should do the deal. And they got it. I wasn't sure they were going to get it. I thought they might get one first rounder, a second rounder, or whatever. But they got the deal from the Ravens who are desperate. Their windows are not going to be open forever with Omar Jackson. They got a new coach. Ravens trying to make major changes. So I think Baltimore is probably happy about it from their perspective. But look what the Raiders did. They dumped Crosby for two first rounders and they bring back Tyler Lindobom.

And they got the anchor to their offense line. They stole him from the Ravens. When the smoke clears, the Raiders got the best of it. No, it's hard to disagree, Matt, with that. And you know, you think about two, a team like the Chicago Bears. They were reportedly in on the on Max Crosby. Didn't get them. They were reportedly in on Lindobom. Didn't get them. You know, is it a disappointing couple of days here for the Chicago Bears who look to be maybe trying to make that big splash. And ultimately, they made the trade with the Buffalo Bills, traded away DJ Moore. Got a second round pick from the Buffalo Bills for DJ Moore. But is this a little bit of a buzzkill, if you will, for the Chicago Bears? Probably a little bit. And I think the Bears, we expect some regression in the Bears anyway in 2026. But Lindobom was, he was highly sought after. And that's why the Raiders gave him 27 million a year is that there were plenty of other teams who weren't him. But nobody could outbid

the Raiders. They're the most caps based by far. And they're going to spend the money, obviously. And it looks like you're spending it wisely. So for the first time in a while, you feel like, hey, the Raiders front office has a clue. They know what they're doing. Is that enough for you to bet the Raiders to win the, uh, in the what AFC West? No, probably not. But maybe the Raiders win total gets a bump from all these moves. In fact, it will get a bump. Real quickly, we are at the half in in the Southern Conference championship. And I have taken a little bit at our our buddy Chuck Esposito's house. So East Tennessee State plus five and a half. Nice. That's a good number. Uh, so, uh, East right now, the wide numbers three and a half. Yeah, I just bet it right now. So if you're in the state of Nevada and you've got stations and it was minus 104 juice. So, uh, get a little cheap on the juice too. So East Tennessee State, a little in pocket play there for me to sweat out here. The second half of the Southern Conference tournament, uh, as they trail 42 to 35 to the Ferman at Paladins, the other game going on right now has also reached a half mat Troy up 38 25

over Georgia Southern live number 13 and a half total sitting at 143 and a half. That's Matt humans. I'm Tim Murray. So many moves in the NFL. March madness right around the corner.
