chip: You were looking live Orlando, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia. God bless golf. Welcome to a Saturday mini pod where we follow up last week's big big bit that we did called the Oppo Spice section. excuse me, session. Good morning to everybody on Saturday. Richie Spice, God bless golf. Good to see ya, buddy. God Bless Golf: God bless golf, brother. Excited for a another week here at the Appo Spice. If you were paying attention last week, you were four, two and one on the wagering. And as always, I'm a terrible gambler. chip: Well, you know, to recap a little bit of last week, I mean, here here's where the Oppo Spice really comes in. And and I mean this pains me to say because Florida State is just boy, are they tough to be a fan of right now. They were a three point underdog. I could have gone to a million people and they would have all said SMU is going to kill them, which they should have and they really should have. So God Bless Golf: Right. chip: to bet that game getting three and push. Is is the greatest win for all you true degenerates. You know when you push, when you shouldn't, you feel like a win. So God Bless Golf: Well. Push is a win. chip: we're gonna we're gonna get right into this section first and then we'll follow up with a little golf talk before we go, but we wanna get these games out. we're gonna go I was gonna do five college games, four NFLs, but there's a couple noon games that I'm gonna throw in there because we're gonna try to get this pod and these picks released before twelve o'clock. So we're gonna jump right into it. Oklahoma Sooners at the big house playing Michigan, laying five God Bless Golf: man. chip: and a half points. Boomer Sooner at the big house, giving five and a half points. Richie, tell me what you like. God Bless Golf: I hate Brett Venables too. And I this is just pains my heart, which makes this maybe this the the lock of the day. We'll get to that at the end of this session here. But you know, I I th I think I think they do got something going on at Oklahoma. I think Kyle Whittingham is the worst coach in Michigan history, possibly. Maybe maybe, you know, Rich Rodriguez, but it it is what it is. You know, I yeah. Yeah, yeah, Brady chip: There's been a few. Brady Hoke. Anyway, go ahead. God Bless Golf: Cook. Brady Cook, you're right, Brady Cook is the worst. But I I just don't believe in this Michigan team. And I think when when a when a guy gets up in the middle of the week and says, Yeah, he's our starting quarterback for now, that's a big hit to the locker room, you know, whatever. chip: Mm-hmm. God Bless Golf: So stamp it, we're gonna go boomer sooner. Minus five and a half at the big house, no doubt. chip: Okay, love that. And yeah, real quick, I mean that kid I believe got ten million dollars to go to Michigan. So he probably God Bless Golf: Yeah. Bryce Underwood. chip: probably not too worried about what old Winningham says. All right, that's our only noon game. We're gonna go right into the the afternoon spreads and games that we have picked, and I promise you Rich has not done any research on these games. God Bless Golf: Yeah. I was I was gonna say real quick, by the way, not only have I not done any research, dur in during pre production here there was no information given to me. I have no idea what game is coming next. So this is truly a blind chip: Well, the power of Oppo Spice is exactly that because reality is whether you do ten minutes of research or five seconds, it doesn't matter. okay, three thirty. This is an early SEC battle for a team. Alab Alabama as they warm up before they play the mighty Knolls in Tuscaloosa next week at Kentucky giving fourteen God Bless Golf: Mm. chip: points. What do you think? Alabama at Kentucky giving fourteen points. Another God Bless Golf: We get chip: heavy road favorite. God Bless Golf: Yeah, you know, I mean I I think the I think the Bamba QB's legit. You know, Kentucky's always weird to go into though. They always come with you know, they always come with these weird games that they that they get at home. chip: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. God Bless Golf: They got a new coach this year, they're I'm sure they're excited on the bluegrass, but chip: And I real quick, I apologize. That spread is ten, not fourteen, ten. God Bless Golf: the that's a big deal too. I mean that I I think I think, you know, let me just see here. Minus ten on paper. I mean I think the tide rolls. I mean I hate going favorite, but I think the tide rolls early early way game. They're gonna be focused up. I think I think they got the chip: You love going to favorite. What are you talking about? God Bless Golf: I mean, I like Alabama, you know? As an even though I'm an Auburn fan, I fucking love chip: No, I love it. I love it, 'cause I know you're gonna end up going favorite of the whole way. Okay, let's move into the seven. God Bless Golf: Well, Kentucky can't be that good. I'm sorry to all you blue blue big blue nation people, but y'all y'all can't be that good. And Bama's got a f pretty good player at quarterback. chip: What remember those two kids from Kentucky that we played with? Campbell, what was his first name? Soup. Yeah, Campbramer. God Bless Golf: yeah. Campbell Kramer. Shout out Campbell. chip: If you're listening, Soup. God Bless Golf: Yeah. chip: but I don't know if this tells you where Alabama is or where Kentucky is, because historically, and I get God Bless Golf: Yeah, good point. chip: it, we're all old here. Alabama used to be a thirty point favor when they would play Kentucky. I God Bless Golf: Right. chip: guess it's just the new day and age that we are currently in. All right, next three thirty. I sorry, I said we were jumping to seven thirty. We got one more three thirty game. The fighting knights or whatever the golden knights of Central Florida. Hope I said that right. At Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh laying a full touchdown. Seven points. God Bless Golf: I I don't like that. I like the Knights. I like the Knights to cover. I think Pittsburgh just lost, you know, a couple a good quarterback a couple of years ago, but had having a new guy last year. I I you know, unless they're wearing the yellow helmets, what's that yeah, right. Unless they're wearing yellow helmets I'm going Right? I gotta I gotta go golden knights plus seven. I chip: Sure. with a pick and cursive is okay. Well, you gotta make that pick. Okay, so for he's taking an underdog, so we got UCF plus seven. UCF plus seven. God Bless Golf: Yeah, on the road, of course. Jesus. chip: hey, that's Oppo Spice for a reason. It's okay. Some games you God Bless Golf: I just have a feeling like Yeah. Yeah. chip: know you've lost before you've even bet on them. I think that might be one of but hey, maybe UCF and the Scott Frost re you know, rebirth. you know, everybody in Orlando loves Frost is back. They still have that God Bless Golf: Is that right? Is Frosty back at UCF? I didn't know that. Okay. chip: sign that says they're the national championship. Or remember that? Because they beat Auburn. They beat that lost Auburn team. my gosh. God Bless Golf: Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah. chip: And you know what? Look, a shout out to UCF and Mackenzie Milton. I mean, that was a great, but I mean, let's that was anyway. God Bless Golf: Yeah. Yeah. chip: Long time ago a lot of things have changed. Okay, the game I guess of the century of the week. It's a big game. and it's just basically you want to know where the money is in college football nowadays. You're gonna see it tonight. Ohio State going to Texas, which I I I I find I don't ever feel like going to play at Austin is a big deal or hard. Maybe it is loud. I don't know. Ohio State going to Texas. Texas a one and a half point favorite at home. So really it's telling me Vegas really likes the Buckeyes because you would think a Texas game at home they'd be given six or seven just for being the home team. So we got Ohio State on the road. Ohio State's an underdog. Like what do they ever get? They get points. Like when I get shots. You know what I mean? God Bless Golf: Yeah. Yeah. I and that and that's a red flag for me. So immediately right there we're gonna go ahead and stamp it. Buckeyes, plus one and a half, no doubt. chip: Buckeyes plus one and a half. Vegas Brad, are you listening? I mean, on the road. Okay. God Bless Golf: I don't even know if that's an underdog, but it is technically. How do you give points to the number one team in the country? chip: I mean, yeah. I I g it's first game of the year. I mean, last year they played, it was kind of close, kinda sloppy. You got Arch Manning, and it's just is he that good? I mean, I'm sure he's good, but he's if his last name was Stapleton or Brooke, would he be playing? I don't know. But it's not, so we'll never know the answer. That guy's good. Okay. God Bless Golf: Right. There's this kid named Jeremiah Smith. There's this kid named Jeremiah Smith on the other team. Ooh. chip: All right, now in the 1015 slot. So for those looking, you know, I'm not this God Bless Golf: The dragon chaser. chip: isn't quite the Dragon Chaser. This is pre-Dragon. Okay. This is where we're God Bless Golf: Okay. Okay. Okay. chip: either taking our winnings, which we should be. We should know by 1015 where we're at. God Bless Golf: Agreed. chip: The Arkansas Razorbacks make their way to God Bless Golf: Hey. chip: Salt Lake City and play the Utah Utes. And the Utah Utes God Bless Golf: man. chip: are Favored by twelve and a half at home against Whoopig Suey, Arkansas Razorbacks. God Bless Golf: I mean I know zero about who these teams. I mean like i is y Wittingham just left Utah and I don't even know I I know the Arkansas coach this summer chip: Yeah, I don't even know who their coach is. Nah, I'm sure he's good. God Bless Golf: at the SEC was like, Keep watching, keep watching, keep watching. So like I'm gonna watch you lose by probably twelve points. So I I think I'm gonna go I'm gonna go Utes at home. I I don't think Arkansas travels west well, even though it's not that far for them. there's gotta be chip: I hear you. Okay. God Bless Golf: some rollover talent there from last year, you know. chip: You'd think I God Bless Golf: You'd think so, my bad. Yeah. They got a lot of money in Utah. chip: they got money. They got money in Utah. They just got a new franchise and they're probably gonna get a base Yeah, they got a new hockey team and a baseball team's coming. in my God Bless Golf: And that's minus twelve in a hook? chip: minus twelve and a hook, Utah Utes. Okay, now God Bless Golf: Yeah. Yeah, that's thirty one seventeen all day long. chip: Okay, I love this. Now we are in this is Dragon Chaser time, and it's gonna be God Bless Golf: Okay. chip: on the CW at ten thirty Eastern time tonight. Montana State. Goes to Nevada. God Bless Golf: Yeah. chip: I guess this is a big rivalry. The spread, Montana State is favored by three and a half on the road at Nevada. The Battle of Reno, what is that God Bless Golf: Yeah, well chip: stadium gonna smell like at ten thirty? God Bless Golf: Well, I I can tell you this, there's a little you know, obviously I'm wearing wearing the colors here of the old University of Montana as always on Saturday. But that that coach can from Nevada can can stick it because they say they wanted to come to us and play and we were booked up home and home went away, whatever. And he was like, chip: ooh. God Bless Golf: they didn't get back to me on email and our A D absolutely screenshot yeah, screenshot the email. chip: The grids are we God Bless Golf: So I will tell you one thing about Montana State. Shout out sent to high school, got a lot of kids from there. God, I'm not gonna remember Adam's last name, but he's their starting running back. He's super good. not a kid I coached, but before my time. God'll come to me in a minute. But Brett Vegan knows what he's doing up there. Got a couple of shout out Kate Robinson. I'm sure he's red shirting this year for the for the Cats. But yeah, I don't say it much, but go Cats. They'll they'll sweep that in a heartbeat, I think. MSU on the road. Nevada's a pretender. You know, why are you playing chip: Okay. Okay. Done. God Bless Golf: MSU and why are you giving away points? Right. So that's MSU. chip: Hey, again, another home, a home dog. So you're going with a road favorite minus three and a half. Okay, that's great. we'll recap God Bless Golf: Yeah. chip: the five college ones, but since we're not going to do a show tomorrow, we got to go into the opening weekend of the NFL. And this one's right off the bat. I mean, you God Bless Golf: Here we go. chip: want you wanna you wanna f know how hard it is to make a living betting NFL. First game of the day, Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, Bills. God Bless Golf: Let me let me guess what that spread is. chip: Okay. God Bless Golf: Seven and a half? chip: The Bills are one and a half point favorites on the road. Yes. God Bless Golf: I mean listen, just out of principle, road dogs in the UFL, right? Ro road dogs in the or sorry chip: Well no, the the Bills are on the road and they're the favorite. God Bless Golf: Sorry, yeah, out of principle, home dogs on in the NFL is typically a a stat that you go with. And yeah, CJ Stroud. Yeah, chip: Well so are you gonna go with it? God Bless Golf: I mean CJ Stroud. You got a Will Anderson over there on defense. Buffalo's gotta come in, you know, right? chip: dude. Yeah. God Bless Golf: I I'm going Texans. Yeah, I'm sure am. chip: Okay, Texans plus one and a half. Wow, Richie. That's one of the I mean, that's such a logical, smart bet, which means the Bills are probably gonna win by three touchdowns. God Bless Golf: Right, that's why that's why you go the bills. chip: Okay. Bills fans are gonna love the fact that you went that one. Next game, Baltimore Ravens at the Indianapolis Colts. Another road favorite. Ravens, three and a half point favorites on the road against the Colts. God Bless Golf: You know, every time Lamar Jackson gets a new o offensive coordinator, he wins an MVP. chip: Okay. God Bless Golf: You know, so I d although healthy Daniel Jones, healthy Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis, I I think the final score is gonna be you said three and a half? chip: Yeah. God Bless Golf: God, this has got this has got Colts comeback written all over it, but chip: That's a dangerous one. God Bless Golf: I gotta go Ravens. I I think Lamar Jackson comes out, throws the football, you know, some new stuff. But yeah, it's that's a that's a that's chip: Okay. God Bless Golf: a twenty f twenty seven, twenty one game Ravens win. chip: Okay, yeah, I think I I mean that's a that hook does scare you, but Lamar, I I agree. so we're going Ravens, another well not an well, first NFL road favorite, three and a half. God Bless Golf: First and your felt favorite. Yep. chip: next game, Green Bay Packers at the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings at home favored by one and a half points. Make this make sense. How does this make sense? God Bless Golf: It doesn't. That's why it's the spy special lock of the day. We're gonna take the Packers all day long against the k the Vikings who wasted their number one pick on JJ McCarthy, who now sits third in the depth chart. Congratulations, Minnesota. You officially suck. So all day long. Yes. chip: Packers plus one and a half. Packers plus one and a half. Okay. Another wise bet. okay. And I unfortunately Timmy's dove hunting, so he couldn't be part of this oppo pick. I know where he would go. We got the Commanders of Washington. Hail to the Redskins at the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles five and a half point home favorites. God Bless Golf: That's a weird that's a weird number. You know, I think Eagles are coming off some some funny stuff. Commanders, they got some decent, you know, or healthy. If you're healthy, you're good. chip: Mm-hmm. God Bless Golf: I I gosh, five and a half. Yeah, chip: I know. I know. It's tough one. God Bless Golf: I'm gonna s I'm gonna s I'm gonna stay with the you know, I'm gonna go Eagles. I'm gonna go Eagles here minus five and a half. You know chip: Okay. I love it. I would go too. I love favorites too. That's why God Bless Golf: first game in Philadelphia. Fans are gonna be excited. All you guys have false hope of a Super Bowl, you know, just like us Falcons chip: Yeah. God Bless Golf: fans down here and I I think you come out and make a nice statement, Saquon Rutz you goes off for a buck fifty or so. Jalen throws it a pretty good chip: I I I I I would think the Eagles would win that game going away and the sh fact it's only five and a half. I don't know why that is. okay. And then we'll we'll one f one more and we'll we'll post this on Monday. We'll the ultimate dragon chaser is always Monday night football. And we got a dandy. God Bless Golf: Mm. Welcome back. chip: Bo Nicks and the Broncos N K C against Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs only a two and a half point favorite. God Bless Golf: I mean, I Denver came in off a strong season last year, but the addition of Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs really is making me think that the Chiefs are gonna be a little bit more of a balanced football team this year, put less on Mahomes and Kelsey and the receiving core. They're gonna pound ground and pound the football. chip: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. God Bless Golf: that being said, you know, Mr. Waddle shows up in Denver with a guy who's got an arm on him, and you let Jalen Waddle get loose. chip: By the dolphin. God Bless Golf: Yeah. So it's sh shock shockingly enough from Miami. So I am going Baroncos, Monday night football. Start the year off on a strong fit. Yep. chip: Plus two and a half. Okay, some real discipline picks which again God Bless Golf: Kinda went on mute force there for a second. But yeah, a little discipline here, I guess. I don't know if we call it discipline or unadvised chip: Whoops. Well we'll see. We'll see. we're gonna recap these picks when when we get these posted and go from there. As far as we'll finish this up because again this is a mini pod, not a not an episode. some good golf going over in Ireland. Sohan Cup. I've been a little too busy to watch much of it. But I will have God Bless Golf: Yep. Short week. chip: time tomorrow to catch up on all that. So Spice, other than that, I don't know what else we're gonna get into much. like I said, Timmy's dove hunting this weekend. We'll have an a new episode coming shortly. We're gonna start getting some guests in this dead time, start talking about Corn Ferry playoffs and and you know, some great mid amateur tournaments this fall as well. It's a member guest season. I got a member guest coming up in a couple of weeks. I think Spice has one next week.
