Bản chép lời đầy đủ của Hutton & Withrow: Philip Rivers to NC State?! Russell Wilson Rumors, Jeffery Simmons NFL Outrage & Tennessee vs. Kentucky | Hour 2

off at you with this. Sure. Washington as well. Sure. But UCLA. UCLA, let's say that too. 00:02:36 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, you can't let recency bias dictate. Like right now, this is not a statement of those teams are worse than the teams I've got, especially at Penn State and Nebraska and some pretty bad teams in there. They're certainly having better years. But if I'm just talking brands... alumni bases, support, people caring and watching the games and programs and all that. I feel good about this gold and silver cutoff. 00:03:00 Speaker 1: And that's what I was saying, Chad. They've got to get back to the marquee matchups just on paper. Now, sometimes you have the perfect season where everybody just kind of matches up like this. But recently, it just hasn't been there. They've got to get Notre Dame involved somehow. And they have to get, if they really want to just cherry pick ratings. Just team up with the SEC and have an SEC Big Ten Challenge, and then ESPN will be forced to have you on their network and promote you, Kirk Ferens. Yes. 00:03:36 Speaker 2: Force their hand. If you had this schedule, it would probably force the SEC's hand. Also, when Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State are all good at the same time, that helps. 00:03:46 Speaker 1: Absolutely. And you've got one of the three right now that's really relevant in college football this season. When Connor Stallions was in the Big Ten, it was great. They won the title. 00:03:57 Speaker 2: And Indiana has replaced those two teams right now as a team that can get national attention because of Kurt Cignetti and winning the national title and all of his success in a short amount of time. But it's not the history of a Michigan-Penn State team. and programs like that that could really generate a lot of buzz. 00:04:15 Speaker 1: So Dave Doran out at NC State. Phillip Rivers in. Russell Wilson now going after this job. I mean, I'm thinking, Phillip Rivers, Chad, they could do worse. That's the first thing that pops in my mind is NC State could do worse. And how can they compete with all the other jobs that are about to be open? I get it. I understand what they're doing. 00:04:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, clearly going a totally different route than what, you know, look at the names mentioned at Florida State. It's all the obvious. Jake Dickert, Jason Eck, Manny Diaz, Eli Drinkwitz. Throw the names out of, hey, maybe we could get this guy to leave their current job or here's a guy looking for a step up in program. We can go hire them. NC State is going the Colorado route. 00:05:05 Speaker 1: They're going the. 00:05:07 Speaker 2: Route of we've seen a lot of smaller colleges do this where we're going to bring in a guy with not a lot of football coaching experience, but that has a ton of football experience and give our program a jolt of celebrity, a jolt of interest from the outside looking in and see if that works. Phillip Rivers was asked about this. He coaches his son, Gunner. who's a quarterback

committed to NC State right now. So he would coach his son similar to Deion. 00:05:32 Speaker 1: That's great. 00:05:33 Speaker 2: If he went to NC State, coached him at the Athens, Alabama, the small private school where he coached. Now he was asked about this after a game and he just said, well, nothing's imminent, but did not deny talking to NC State and this being a possibility. News comes out yesterday, Russell Wilson, who finished his career at Wisconsin, but has a degree from NC State, played there before, before transferring to Wisconsin. 00:05:54 Speaker 1: He's interviewed for the job. 00:05:56 Speaker 2: I mean, Hutton, clearly they're just going to hire a famous alumni, but why stop there? You know, Zach Galifianakis went to NC State. Maybe he should interview for the job. John Tesh of Round Ball Rock fame was expelled from NC State, I found out during some internet research. He forged a professor's name on a drop ad form and got expelled from NC State. It's time to bring John Tesh home to be the head coach of the Wolfpack. 00:06:23 Speaker 1: You know how they punish him? They make him graduate. They make him graduate. 00:06:27 Speaker 2: Well, little did they know, they just inspired him to go be just a dynamo on the piano from that point on and really rock it. Wasn't he on Entertainment Tonight, too? 00:06:36 Speaker 1: Yes. The host of that for a while? Yeah. John Tesh getting it done. And Mary, what was her name? Mary something. Oh, Mary. Yeah. I'm going to find it. Yeah. 00:06:47 Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, it's clear, Hutton, that they're going to go this route. We're going to bring in- Mary Hart? Was it Mary Hart? 00:06:52 Speaker 1: Thank you. Mary Hart. Mary Hart. Yeah. Mary Hart and John Tesh. 00:06:57 Speaker 2: When you just search Mary Hart and it auto-fills John Tesh next to it. John Tesh. Primary complaint. By the way, Mary Hart and John Tesh had the same hairstyle. I'm looking at them right now. It's just the part was different. They both had high feathered blonde hair, but John Tesh had his part going this way and Mary Hart had the part going the other way, leaning towards him. 00:07:21 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure Russell Wilson will have some kind of cut like that too. 00:07:25 Speaker 2: Well, will Sierra be the Jordan Hudson of NC State football also? She'll be on the sideline for games. 00:07:31 Speaker 1: All for it. Yeah. Phillip Rivers, real quick. Brilliant. Went back to the NFL and it reset all of his benefits, his retirement benefits for five years. And he was on his fifth year. 00:07:46 Speaker 3: Brilliant. 00:07:47 Speaker 1: Primary complaint straight ahead here on Hutton and Withrow presented by Hard Rock Bet.

Honey Withrow presented by Hard Rock Bet. Time for primary complaint. Mind this week, guys. Majority of those watching Monday Night Football watch Jeffrey Simmons play for the first time. That includes Bears fans. We traded two first-round picks for who? A Titans player? But my primary complaint this week is when I say majority of those watching, I'm including the majority of NFL media, it felt like. Simmons has been this guy for a handful of years now. He's required a double team long before Monday night in Seattle. He's been great. Even last season, he led all interior defensive linemen in sacks. Sacks on third down. Tackles for loss. I can go on there. Yes, the fact that no one watched him is an indictment on the Titans organization. His team sucked. But that's why... he went three years without playing on national TV. So if a fan was caught off guard, okay, all good. But unacceptable for anyone who professionally reports on the NFL, especially those who vote on major awards, to act like an eight-year veteran all of a sudden just caught fire in week eight when he put a Chicago jersey on and debuted. It's a great example showing that many of the people that we follow who claim to cover the league or be some insider or be that they they don't really they either watch the national games or they watch the teams that come through their city so those who took a victory lap on Monday night claiming they've known all along that number 99 Jeffrey Simmons was this guy even though they didn't have a clue that number 98 was that guy in Nashville I hope they vote for him now because they did not know to vote for him then. And when was then? Chad, eight days ago. Had no clue. All of a sudden, he's like a rookie splashed on the scene. It's sort of the Mike Trout effect. 00:10:32 Speaker 2: Mike Trout just goes into anonymity throughout the year because he's on a consistently bad Angels team. But yet everybody knows the name Mike Trout and knows that he's really talented and really good. Jeffrey Simmons, I don't think, has the same benefit of being a celebrity to that level But I'll tell you who knows how good Jeffrey Simmons is. 00:10:50 Speaker 1: The league. 00:10:52 Speaker 2: That's why the Bears were willing to give up two first-round picks for what we saw on Monday night. I'm totally with you on media members acting like they followed every snap of his career and just loved the guy throughout. And now they're just actually realizing exactly who Jeffrey Simmons is. Similar to Deion Sanders, who didn't know Kevin Bayard or his name. Remember when he got into it with his son about that. 00:11:12 Speaker 1: And took glee in that. We'll get into. 00:11:14 Speaker 2: Deion Sanders in a future show about not knowing names also. My primary complaint this week, we talked about morning Joe Scarborough having a problem with Pat McAfee and everything he does on game day. Here's a complaint I have about every football studio show known to man now. It's like one group did this and then everybody decided that we have to have multiple segments of men standing in suits, awkwardly moving around in full body shots and on this like the they're like bro hugging it up they're dapping it up you know they're showing off their sneakers on espn monday night countdown uh they're they're they're blinged out on on camera it's like a fashion show mixed with we're gonna make things as awkward as possible while we stand and hover and move around each other while trying to conduct a segment guys if it ain't broke don't fix it do you know what works on shows when you have a studio show a desk It's fine. It's pleasing to the eye. You can sit there. You can still move if you need to. You can demonstrate with your torso or your upper body what you need to demonstrate. We don't need a full segment unless you've got a football field out there or a baseball field or a basketball goal, and you're going to actually demonstrate something that's happening in the game. We don't need these awkward segments where everyone stands up and circles around each other And awkwardly moves in different directions. 00:12:41 Speaker 1: That's my primary complaint. Well done. Inside the NBA does it right. JT joins us on the program. What's up? 00:12:48 Speaker 3: Chad, you're right, too. Also, when they mix in having to throw the football, you know, kind of underhand toss the football to each other. 00:12:54 Speaker 1: It's so uncomfortable. That was very, very odd and awkward every single time. Some consultant came up with that. And I want to know how they became a consultant. How do you become a consultant? I have no idea. 00:13:05 Speaker 2: It's like in Black Sheep when Chris Farley's brother, Tim Matheson, you know, they're like consulting on whether or not he should go no tie, loosen the tie, or have the tie all the way up when he's speaking to a group of young people. 00:13:16 Speaker 1: It's like, and the guy's like, hey, how about no tie? Oh, no, no, loose tie. 00:13:20 Speaker 2: That's some consultant at all these

networks going, hey, JT, just when you throw it over to Hutt, just give him a little underhand toss of the football. 00:13:28 Speaker 1: That's going to be cool for our audience. Actually, I do know. It's not cool. I do know how you become one. You just declare it because Ryan Mudd did, remember? That's right. He did. Guys, we all love a good sale, right? A good deal. 00:13:43 Speaker 3: Anytime you can save a couple of bucks, makes you feel good, like a $ 5 off a $ 25 coupon or BOGO at Publix is always good, but there is one place that I despise. It's hell to go to this place with your wife, just like any other good place. Thank God they're closed on Sunday. But it's Hobby Lobby. 00:14:03 Speaker 1: Here's why. 00:14:04 Speaker 3: Everything in this store, and it's been this way for years, they just had to drop from 50 to 40, but everything in this store is 50% off. So let's start here. Imagine being the guy or girl that has to go in and put the normal price tag on any item. 00:14:21 Speaker 1: This picture frame. 00:14:23 Speaker 3: Is $ 49. 00:14:23 Speaker 1: 99. 00:14:25 Speaker 3: But then you have to go to every single aisle and put up another display that says, all items are now 40% off. But instead of just having that out in the window, when you walk in, every single aisle has 40% off. But to make it even worse, the reason why it's an awful idea is now they have to have this. A calculator for us at every turn. 00:14:50 Speaker 1: Because you know why? 00:14:51 Speaker 3: Nobody knows what these prices are because we have to do the math now. I mean, they're at every single turn. It's been this way for years at Hobby Lobby. 00:15:00 Speaker 1: Just give me the damn price. 00:15:02 Speaker 3: I don't need to know that a $ 50 item is now $ 30. 00:15:06 Speaker 1: Just tell me that. 00:15:07 Speaker 3: It's $ 30. 00:15:08 Speaker 1: And let me move on. 00:15:09 Speaker 3: But I just despise this every single item in the store being 40% off and just... Keep it simple for us. 00:15:17 Speaker 1: That's my primary complaint. That tells you how much they've marked that stuff up if they're making a profit off of $ 40, 000. 00:15:22 Speaker 2: This has also spawned a question to me to the YouTube group. Hey, are you guys spending a lot of time at Hobby Lobby like JT, who apparently spends a ton of time at Hobby Lobby? My family goes to Hobby Lobby all the time. I can confidently say I have never gone with them. Every time they just went there this week to go get Christmas decorations for my oldest daughter's room, who's already decorated her room And all Christmas stuff. 00:15:45 Speaker 1: And I stayed home from that trip. 00:15:48 Speaker 2: JT, you're a better man than me for accompanying your wife and children to Hobby Lobby. 00:15:52 Speaker 1: Good job. JT may know, who's their biggest competitor? Is it like Michael's or? Cloth World? I don't know. 00:16:01 Speaker 2: I don't know who Hobby Lobby's biggest competitor would be. 00:16:04 Speaker 1: Kirkland's? Isn't that a place too? Yeah. I mean, they're everywhere. Michaels, yeah. Hobby Lobby, though, this goes back to the consultant. 00:16:13 Speaker 2: It's like some consultant said, we need to get full body shots and stand up on camera and toss the football around. I really think this is something where a sales consultant said, psychologically, you're going to get someone to buy something if they see a big sign that says 40% off or 50%. 00:16:27 Speaker 1: Off, even if it's not really that. 00:16:30 Speaker 2: It's just they're going to feel better about it because they see that sign. But let's go back, JT, if you would, to that sign that you showed. This is what bothers me about this. This sign does not pop to the eye. 00:16:42 Speaker 1: No. 00:16:42 Speaker 2: I'm not looking at this and thinking, boy, I need to buy whatever this decoration is because it's 40% off. 00:16:47 Speaker 1: It's hard to see. It's hard to find. If you put a huge neon 40%. 00:16:53 Speaker 2: Off rack, then maybe that's going to compel more people to buy. 00:16:56 Speaker 1: But this doesn't do anything for me. I was going to say, Hobby Lobby has a distinct smell when you go in, like a funeral home. And that's like a display at a funeral home right there. A lot of formaldehyde in the aisles at Hobby Lobby. I don't know what it is, but it's like Cracker Barrel. You know when you're in one, if you're blindfolded. I think I would know if I was at Hobby Lobby. Maybe a Walmart. 00:17:16 Speaker 2: Another place I always know when I walk into a Waffle House with the smell of that grill. 00:17:19 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yep. I have some advice coming up that is going to benefit you. Take advantage of a great opportunity to cash in. 40% off. 00:17:33 Speaker 2: And that's what we're saying. This is your 40% off segment coming up. Great opportunity for everyone. 00:17:38 Speaker 1: I think it'll be 40% off the odds in a couple of weeks. So I've got a suggestion that I've already played. I've told the guys about it. I'm going to lay it out from hard rock bet. Uh, it's, it's a no brainer straight ahead here on Hutton and Withrow. I wonder what morning Joe would think about the Nashville balls. Uh, I know where you can get the official gear. It's at XXXY Athletics. Founded by Jennifer Say, former national champion gymnast, former Levi's brand president. She walked away from a corporate job rather than to say something she didn't believe. And she started XXXY Athletics instead. The mission in their words, empower female athletes, take a stand for fair competition. They call it the T that launched a movement. Real athletic apparel, Jeff. 00:18:19 Speaker 2: Real athletic apparel and the spot where you can get real Nashville balls gear. 00:18:23 Speaker 1: T's trucker hats, everything. 00:18:25 Speaker 2: New customers get 20% off your first order when you sign up and free shipping over $ 100. XXXYAthletics.com. That's XX-XYAthletics.com. 00:18:35 Speaker 1: All

right. I have overlooked this. I should have thought of this sooner. Seven days ago, the odds that Jeffrey Simmons would win Defensive Player of the Year plus $ 2, 500 after the trade and the Bears' debut is now at plus $ 1, 000. The odds on favorite right now is Will Anderson. You've got Fred Warner, TJ Watt, Aiden Hutchinson. They're also leading the pack at the halfway mark. But through seven weeks, now eight for him, Simmons' odds were in range of players who don't receive the credit that they deserve, like Andrew Van Ginkle, who's a great player in Minnesota. And now he's jumped into the contenders tier at plus 1,000 odds. Go grab this now. New customers, visit hardrock.bet.com. You can sign up, bet $ 5, throw it on Simmons at plus 1,000, You get up to $ 500 and no sweat bets. Simmons has at least three more games, Chad, in primetime broadcast windows. Two games on Sunday Night Football coming up. Thanksgiving Day in Detroit for him and Christmas Day against Green Bay. And the Bears finish the season in Minnesota. And the Vikings currently, they're second seed in the NFC, so that could be a Sunday Night Football flex. Who knows? The other player with as much exposure on... national broadcast is T.J. Watt, including two games on Sunday night football in December, where he's going to go head-to-head with Will Anderson, who also plays on Christmas Eve. But the value is the play here, and I should have thought about this, again, last week. Simmons, plus 1,000, hard rock bet. Leverage those odds as we peek ahead to the next five games, shall we? The setup... for the schedule before the Bears push for playoff positioning. And Simmons will be playing on prime time on Thanksgiving and all that. And you've got the flex game. So again, I don't like saying this because it's obvious, but injuries happen. But I need to say it for someone who's going to come back on me if something were to happen. But this Sunday, he faces a Bucs offensive line that's allowed 22 sacks and 40 tackles for loss. After the bye, a bad Saints offensive line. The Lions are solid up front. Then this five-game span wraps up with the Jaguars, who is good up front, but he's very familiar with them, and the Dolphins. Three of his next five opponents, Chad, have currently a losing record, and the next five opponents on the offensive line through eight games have combined to allow those sacks that you see on the screen. 88-173 on tackles for loss allowed in the total combined. I mean, it's I love the setup for him to make a push in December. Stash some cash on Will Anderson or TJ Watt if you want to, if you believe they're a lot. But let's load up. This was exceptional value at plus $ 2, 500. I will not overlook fantastic value entering Week 9. Right now on the Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook app, Jeffrey Simmons to win Defensive Player of the Year, plus $ 1, 000. Even use your promo offers on this wager. Roll with us here. I love this bet so much. 00:21:27 Speaker 2: I went to the Hard Rock

Bet app, and I just put $ 20 to win $ 220 on Jeffrey Simmons for DPOY, Defensive Player of the Year. This also sparked me to go look at my other futures bets, which I completely forgot that I had even made. And I'm looking pretty good. I've got the Georgia Bulldogs to win the SEC, and that's plus $ 350. I've got the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the AFC North, which was a $ 5 bet to win $ 35. I've got a four-leg parlay I'm not going to mention. I've got also a four-leg parlay, which could be pretty good. Cincinnati to win the AFC North, Denver to win the West, Houston to win the South, and the Bills to win the AFC East. That was a $ 2 bet to win $ 93 if that four-leg parlay hits, which is still very much in play. I've got the Bills to win the AFC with a $ 5 bet to pay out $ 28. 00:22:22 Speaker 1: 75. 00:22:23 Speaker 2: And I have LSU to win exactly 10 games as another futures bet, which is looking okay right now, too. They're going to have to win out to do that, but I'm feeling pretty good about myself over here. 00:22:36 Speaker 1: I am looking at mine as well. I've got Lions over the Bills in the Super Bowl to win $ 138. I don't know. I put $ 2 on that. I also have.... 00:22:47 Speaker 2: Mississippi State over four and a half regular season wins, which appeared to be an absolute lock early in the year. What are they sitting at right now? What's their remaining schedule? If they win this week, is that five games? If they beat Vandy, they're a slight favorite over Vandy. I'm going to look it up right now. 00:23:05 Speaker 1: I think so. I think they're at four right now. 00:23:07 Speaker 2: So I need one more win on the season, but it's definitely not guaranteed. Oh, they got Tennessee Tech remaining, so let's see where they're sitting at. Yeah, they're 4-4. Yeah, so as long as they beat Tennessee Tech, I'm going to cash that one. 00:23:22 Speaker 1: And I took the under on– I believe I took the over on Vanderbilt. I did. But I took the under on Oklahoma. So they're sitting good right there at the under. I'm going to cash that one. 00:23:37 Speaker 2: I also got Alabama over 8.5 wins, which I feel really good about. 00:23:41 Speaker 1: You should on that, yeah. Where did you have Florida? Florida. 00:23:46 Speaker 2: I did not place a wager on them, so I don't know what they were preseason over under. Was it like five and a half, probably six and a half? Yeah, six and a half. 00:23:56 Speaker 1: Yeah. Six and a half. Can you get into college basketball right now? Because you were watching it last night because Tennessee's playing. But next Tuesday, we're going to have some marquee matchups, but it just doesn't excite me right now at all. 00:24:11 Speaker 2: I can absolutely not get into college basketball right now. Tried last night. I fast-forwarded through a lot of the Tennessee game. It was close at halftime. I gave the advice last night. I said Tennessee has been god-awful in their exhibition games. If you're looking for a possible huge upset, take Wofford on the money line. It was 34-31 Wofford at halftime, and Tennessee just rolled them. Ended up winning by 31 in the second half. Tennessee is very talented. Maybe the biggest collection– and depth of offensive talent they've had under Rick Barnes. They're not anywhere close to defending anywhere near the way Rick Barnes. 00:24:46 Speaker 1: Wants them to defend. 00:24:47 Speaker 2: Now, that's fine if they can score 80 to 95 points a night. You're going to outscore teams doing that, too. But they're just not very connected yet. It's going to take a while. I think it's still going to be a really good team come January, February. But it's going to take a while to round in the form. They've got a tough early season schedule. In two weeks, they play Michigan State at home. They get three games they should win easily. And then that's their first big test when Tom Izzo comes to town. But I'm having a hard time getting into it. I watched some of Florida and Miami because that was number one in the country, I think, versus number like 18 in Miami. And I just it's tough to it's tough to see the finish line right now. 00:25:27 Speaker 1: I agree. You know what I mean? 00:25:28 Speaker 2: Like in football, you start with the first week in college football and you can easily see I'm watching two playoff teams here. or this game is going to be impactful for the ACC championship. 00:25:41 Speaker 1: Or whatever it is that you're watching. 00:25:43 Speaker 2: When you're watching college basketball tip off in early November, it's hard for me to look at these teams and say, I can see this team doing this in the Sweet 16 in late March. 00:25:54 Speaker 1: That is a long way away. It is a long way. It is a long season, and. 00:25:58 Speaker 2: That is a long time away. So I have a hard time getting into it to that level right now. 00:26:02 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait. And I love the sport. I love college hoops, but it's hard to watch right now. We're going to have some fun with the hard rock bet on that too when hoops rolls around in March. 00:26:13 Speaker 2: Also hard to watch, Oklahoma lost to East Texas A & M. 00:26:17 Speaker 1: I saw that. 00:26:18 Speaker 2: In their opener, they were a 28.5 point favorite. That's the biggest college basketball upset at least in the last 10 years I saw by ESPN stats and info based off of point spread. 00:26:31 Speaker 1: What was that Kentucky? I guess Kentucky lost to whoever that was more than a decade ago now. They lost to Elon? That's it, yeah. Is that right? 00:26:42 Speaker 2: Lutz would know exactly. They lost to somebody that was big. But I guess they weren't a 30-point favorite in the game. They were probably a 25-point favorite. I'm sure there's been a lot of close ones like that, but it's not. It was close to 30 points Oklahoma was favored. 00:26:56 Speaker 1: Let's roll through what Saturday is going to be. BYU-Utah, the Holy War. I'll go in order of the kickoffs. That's 11 a.m. Central.

Either Utah is going to cement their top two seed, or you've got BYU. BYU could blow the Big 12 wide open. Wide open. They're in the top six of the college football playoff. Texas, Missouri. I think they kick off at the same time, both at 6-2. 11 a.m. Central time for both those games. Alabama, LSU. Lane Kiffin. Does it get his night game, or does he? I mean, it will be dark by halftime in that game. 00:27:35 Speaker 2: I'm struggling over here, by the way, with the fallback and getting dark earlier. Like just yesterday, I was getting ready to go to my daughter's coach for basketball practice. I'm thinking, is it time to go to practice? And I'm sitting around for two hours before I even leave for practice, and I'm thinking it's so dark so early it's tough. 00:27:52 Speaker 1: By the way, SEC home night game since 2024, this new TV deal. Night games for LSU, 16. Six for Tennessee. You've got 84% of their games, Chad, have been at night for LSU. There's no way to complain on that. Quit your bitching if you're LSU. It's not your God-given right to get a night game for every big game. Georgia, 22% of Georgia's game have been played at night at home. Oregon and Ohio State, the Buckeyes already on the outside of the bracket looking in. Kentucky, Tennessee, dark mode coming up at Neyland. If Tennessee wins 7-2 and they hand Kentucky a second loss, well, they force the committee to fix the Vols' ranking with that head-to-head win over Bama. Plus, Georgia Ole Miss. If Ole Miss pulls this off, we're going to see some Heisman chatter for Chambliss again. We've got truly chilly football for the first time this weekend, too. Miami-Notre Dame kickoff, 44 degrees. 00:28:59 Speaker 2: Tennessee and Kentucky at 515 Central, 615 Eastern, 51 degrees. 00:29:04 Speaker 1: At Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, which we visited this year, 48 degrees. Wow. That kickoff for Georgia and Ole Miss. Get some hay rides. This is great. It's crazy to see. 00:29:14 Speaker 2: How the temps are the same north and south this weekend. Iowa at Northwestern is 51, same as it's going to be in Knoxville, actually a little bit warmer than it's going to be at Ole Miss. 00:29:24 Speaker 1: Is there going to be rain? I guess not. It sounds like it's all the same. That's great. And then you got Oklahoma and Florida, 70 degrees to kick off at night for that one. Speaking of some of these games, time to go for the bundle when we come back. Time to figure out if JT's got it together this week. I think he does. I think we all do. 00:29:45 Speaker 2: He kind of fact-checked with us, or at least he gave us a little bit of a heat check, a vibe check, if you will. He said, what do you guys think about this before submitting? And I think both you and I agree, it's the play. 00:29:56 Speaker 1: It is. 00:29:57 Speaker 2: And if I was playing it, I would make. So I think we got a winner for everyone this week. 00:30:02 Speaker 1: Time to go for the bundle when we return here on Hunt and Withrow, presented by Hard Rock Bet. 00:30:05 Speaker 3: This year, the party's getting even bigger. 00:30:08 Speaker 2: Hey, there's Jay Boyd. 00:30:09 Speaker 1: They know me.

Gentlemen, we welcome in JT, and we say it is time to go for the bundle. Austin getting a defensive touchdown in the third quarter. Katz, three interceptions from Ahmaud Hawkins. 00:30:55 Speaker 3: On first down, Smoker back in his own end zone, going for the bundle. 00:30:58 Speaker 1: He's got Bonner, who lays it out. 00:31:01 Speaker 3: And catches the ball down on the seven, and he's in for the touchdown. He was not touched. 00:31:06 Speaker 1: He was not touched by the defender, Nate Coggins. 00:31:09 Speaker 3: Jeff Smoker is a touchdown-throwing inferno. It's 57-49, Nashville. 00:31:16 Speaker 1: Shout out to the late Mark Howard, who did it the right way, Chad. He would wear a jacket and tie on set wearing shorts underneath the table. On set calling arena football? Oh, okay. 00:31:28 Speaker 2: No, at New Shuttle 5. I was just listening to him call the arena football game, and I'm thinking, this dude showed up in shorts and a jacket and tie to call games? 00:31:37 Speaker 1: No, but as soon as he hit the plane, yes. All right, let's go for the bundle here. Changes have happened with the Sooners' offensive play call-in. And Mateer remains the starter. I'm expecting the Sooners to show some life in Gainesville. Because if not now, when? The Gators are also struggling on offense. The Sooners come in with the SEC's fifth best defense right now. Florida's is like 13th on defense. It's time for Mateer to come alive and time for OU to give me a third straight win on the bundle. Sooners plus six and a half at Florida. 00:32:12 Speaker 2: I think also this could be a little bit of a tease for your lock in terms of the fired coach pick up, which is a good play. I'm trying to ride out Friday nights, which I will with my lock tomorrow. I like where your head's at with this pick with Oklahoma on that one. Look, I was a huge believer in Mississippi State early in the year. Camario Taylor, I said was a Dark Horse Heisman winner. I thought Mississippi State was a Dark Horse college football playoff team, and they looked that way early on. with some of their wins. Taylor goes down. This offense can't do anything without him. 00:32:46 Speaker 1: They got A.J. 00:32:47 Speaker 2: Swan, the former

Vanderbilt quarterback, knocking it around with the other backup quarterback, trying to make things happen. They can't make anything happen. Vandy is a three and a half point underdog on the road at Mississippi State. If not now, then never for Vanderbilt this year in terms of winning a Southeastern Conference game. Hutton, I think that Vandy likely wins this game outright. I'm going to play the safe bet for me and go Doors plus three and a half on the road in Starkville this Saturday. 00:33:16 Speaker 1: Like it, Chad. JT, you have the floor, sir. 00:33:20 Speaker 3: Guys, I sent this to you Monday night and wanted to see your thoughts. I do want to apologize for bringing down the team the entire season. But the balls are four and four against the spread this season. Cats are stellar, seven and one. But it's dark mode at Neyland. 00:33:38 Speaker 1: History. 00:33:39 Speaker 3: History's history, good or bad. And I'm sorry to our fearless leader, Jacob, who's the massive Kentucky fan. History shows us 85 wins and 26 losses for the Tennessee Volunteers. History also shows us a five-game winning streak. Give me the balls Saturday in Knoxville. 00:33:57 Speaker 2: I really think, and I'm not going to play this game likely, but this is the way I would lean, JT. I'm totally with you on this. I really think this is a game that Tennessee has to screw it up to lose it. And what do I mean by that? They've got to play into Kentucky's propensity to turn people over and not have a single mistake themselves. 00:34:14 Speaker 1: This needs to be a. 00:34:15 Speaker 2: Plus-two or plus-three turnover-type day for Kentucky. I think the odds of that happening at Neyland at night with that crowd are lower, and the odds for Kentucky to make a mistake or two in this game go way up when you're talking about that environment at Neyland Stadium. 00:34:31 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, and JT mentioned the history. 00:34:34 Speaker 2: I'm 44 years old. Kentucky has won this game four times in my lifetime. And all of those wins, I'd have to go back and look at 1984, which was the first. 00:34:44 Speaker 1: Time it happened in my life. 00:34:45 Speaker 2: All of those wins came in losing seasons for Tennessee against truly bad, really historically bad Tennessee teams over the last 40 years. 00:34:54 Speaker 1: Kentucky's won those games. 00:34:55 Speaker 2: Tennessee, in mediocre to bad years, has beaten some of the best Kentucky years. Best Kentucky teams over the last 40 years. So me thinking Kentucky's going to roll in and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium, I don't think that's going to happen. But Hutton, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen because of what Kentucky has been all year. A team that does not beat themselves, doesn't make a single turnover or mistake, and forces Tennessee into two, three, four turnovers in this game. I think that's how Kentucky's going to make it work. Because I think Tennessee's defense has an opportunity to hunt in this game. They've got an opportunity to get after Kentucky the way they have pretty much every team they've played this year defensively. 00:35:38 Speaker 1: Roll with us, hardrock.bet.com. I just put the parlay together for us. I went for the bundle. $ 5 wins $ 31 right now on Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook app. And they're offering me a profit boost because of the three-leg parlay chat. So I went ahead and put that. I'm going to win $ 35. I'm going to do the exact same thing right now. Bet $ 5 for new customers. Get up to 500 in no-sweat bets. That's a great offer right now. Great promo with Hard Rock. Bet $ 5. Get up to 500 in no-sweat bets. Hardrock.bet.com. Chad, if Kentucky wins this game, I think this will be the game where everyone is really thinking, are they the Indiana of this season if they win this game? I I'm with you. 00:36:29 Speaker 2: I think it's a total game changer. I mean, almost a touchdown underdog on the road. This will be the one like that, that went over South Carolina was huge and going for two. And then even bigger was beating LSU at home the way they did matching the go for two mentality. If they go to Neyland at night and win this game completely changes every narrative. So suddenly it's not just, Oh boy, but it's a, but it's a brutal November. It's, They should beat Florida at home. 00:36:54 Speaker 1: Yes. 00:36:55 Speaker 2: They're going to beat Louisville. You just look at the schedule and all of a sudden it really opens up. At Missouri, I think, is the other game. You're looking at a team that could go 11-1. We're almost letting it happen again. We're not going to let it happen, but the Indiana of this year is right in front of us potentially. But again, I think it's got to happen this week, and then I think you start to see that buzz and comparison again. with a new head coach, new quarterback coming, all that stuff. 00:37:25 Speaker 1: Chad, fun show. We are back at it tomorrow. 8 o'clock Eastern time, 8 to 10 each and every morning. Be sure to check out the next round straight ahead. Great slate of shows throughout the day here on Sporting State. I'm sure Clay will be pissed off for greatness today. That's no doubt. 00:37:44 Speaker 2: He's got a blue wave to discuss today, so it's going to be some exciting entertainment on that show today with him and Buck. 00:37:52 Speaker 1: Catch us tomorrow, and we'll be back.
