intriguing M Mike yeah and we it looks like we just got a couple more members Shane just one more project appreciate you for becoming a member Ben Ivy appreciate you welcome to the family family I mean Jr I don't know how much this guy makes but he must be a million over here Jr has gifted another uh membership Shane this time to Caleb so appreciate you Jr appreciate you Caleb uh man that that is outstanding to see isn't it that's awesome man dude aren't you ready aren't you ready I think half the members come from Jr yeah it may be hey man I it may be like if you heard that rumor I don't know if it's true or not Oklahoma fans may want to cover the ears but had a little trouble selling that did you hear about that maybe there's a booster over there oh I don't know it came from a uncredible source I mean anything that comes from Oklahoma State I'm not going to listen to really but uh but I I thought about Junior there just donating all those memberships yeah Oklahoma may have needed some help there is what you're saying but yeah a little bump there hey I'm seeing a lot of U Arkansas fans in the comments Shane I'm sure there's Missouri people as well um but real quick again they're about to kick off we already did our picks but I mean we basically said blowout city Shane picked uh what I think he picked Arkansas to win by like 70 points or something crazy like that I I don't know if they cover the spread only because it's like each one of them is is Dam near 50 points the is the spread for each of those games so we both expect the SEC to roll tonight uh it's just going to be a matter of if they cover or not you know what yeah and I thought Arkansas would I thought missou wouldn't and uh after seeing Sam pitman's jacket I know I'm right you know I know I'm right come on now hey shout out to David nutting he just gifted a membership sh hey thanks cous cousin Josh Weaver so there hey now now we're getting in the mood of just everybody's donating these days feels like Christmas you know hey my new favorite cousin Shane Shane Harville he just became a member of the channel Shane yeah all right we need more shanes in this group yeah and Shout Out Ben Ivy he just gave us 20 bucks brother he says Tennessee 38 and2 lock of the week I got I got you cousin Shane love you guys the season is finally here yes sir yes sir so we've got so much sh so much to get into but real quick before we get into the picks again we got we got our buddy James Bryant he's going to give us a a weather update and it common theme Shan no surprise obviously to anybody but it's it's hot as hell out there how hot is it going to be for your game and it looks like there's going to be a lot of storms around the SEC this weekend so we'll get to James in just a second with Mike's PrizePicks Selections his again he's providing a level of analysis Shane and I simply cannot provide you so we'll get to that and then we'll pick the games in just a second but uh well we got to talk about my prize picks selection Shane that's back for another season so if you haven't already head on over to prize picks put in that promo code SEC and they're willing to give anybody that does that Shane if you play a a a $5 uh placement there on prize picks they're going to give you $50 immediately so I mean 50 for five is a pretty good deal last time I check shade and and if you've never done uh prize picks daily fantasy sports the reason we really love it because because you can do these SEC players they got all the sports covered but they got the one we care about SEC so so Shane are you ready to hear my prize pick selections for week one hell yeah man let's do it and they got a special promotion Shane jayen milro yeah oh uh more or less than half a passing yard so if my man gets one passing yard right there you've already got one prize pick selection you just need two to be a winner Shane and I I got you a couple more you're going to like this one I think Dylan Bell Shane outstanding receiver for them Georgia Bulldogs we're going to get to this Georgia Clemson game in a minute but but we don't even know who's gonna be running the D ball for Georgia because they got guys injured they got guys possibly suspended so I love this one Shane Dylan Bell half a receiving or rushing so we're doing both touchdown so if Dylan Bell gets you one touchdown right there you you've just won that pick on prize picks what do you think about that one oh I love it man I love it and you know Steven was hot on Dylan as well so you know that's one of the things that I'm liking it's got to be some catchers down there and there's going to be some touchdown scored so yeah I like that one brother and when they get the Red Zone like I said they may not have anybody to add the ball to so they might just give it to a receiver you know what you never know I think there there may be a little trickeration somebody's got to fill in that uh that uh Bowers position you know right and then oh Shane I don't know if you're going to like this one but I love it because my man Montell Johnson has officially been cleared by Billy Napier he's a full go for the Florida Gators their star running back for the Miami matchup same one as Dylan Bell more or less Shane than half a rushing or receiving touchdown from Montrell Johnson I know he's coming off the surgery but he's cleared they that I think that's why they had the surgery to make sure he's 100% for this Miami game so as long as Montreal Johnson scores the touchdown that he doesn't throw you're going to win this one too Mike you don't suit up a guy not to play either and that's one thing you're going to watch and and and I love this I love this Mike because even if you do got him on a swing count when are you putting him in when you're in the red zone exactly all right how about moose Muhammad outstanding receiver for Texas A&M Shane I could when I saw this I could believe it I could believe it just 33 and a half receiving yard I mean that's that's one big catch what quarter is that Mike that's for the whole game Shay that's for the whole game so give me more than 33 and a half receiving yards for moose muhamad I love that one uh I also like Le'Veon Moss Texas A&M running back Shane yeah half a rushing or receiving touchdown so more or less I'm going to bore come on boore come on for Le'Veon boss and then last one cuz I I know you you've been hyping up I saw you on the on the Twitter machine sh you're hyping up Vander belt come on said Alexander their star running back yeah not a lot of people know about this kid yet they're going to know he was he was their best freshman last year he was going to be their best sophomore more than 34 and a half rushing yards against Virginia Tech he's have that in the first half yeah absolutely man hey I learned more about Vanderbilt this year my brother's got him in a dynasty and and smoked my ass I didn't realize they had that much talent up there in Bandy so yeah I liked Alexander well yeah but what Shay didn't mention there is uh so he put in the backup quarterback at tight end he put in like the fastest receiver at quarterback and he just runs around and throws it around but again there was Alex like he did good with Alexander without me now once we played all bets were off we had to do our old school cheating you know I'm not going to lie shade your brother running wild on me but that that encouraged that said Alexander pick it did it because you kept seeing that name over and over again yep uh all right shade so you ready to make some picks oh baby yes let's do it but before we do it again we're going to go to our buddy James Bryant he's got us a a weather update here for every single game starting Friday going to Sunday so real quick let's kick it over to Kat TV's Week 1 SEC Weather Segment James Bryant well welcome to the KV podcast Studios I'm meteorologist James Bryant and I want to just thank you guys for inviting me on that SEC football podcast this season giving you a weather update for around the SEC football footprint we have a lot of games going on uh this weekend and unfortunately it looks like some of these are going to be impacted by weather just because there's a lot of thunderstorm chances on Friday Temple goes to Oklahoma that's 7 Eastern 6:00 Central uh 82 is the expected temperature kickoff rain is expected during the day 50% is still that rain and storm chance during the game so that's a possibility there that you may it wet if you are heading to Norman on Saturday we have a lot of games of course as we officially kick off the college football season and uh we'll start with these uh by time so uh 12 uh Eastern Time 11 Central Time Clemson versus Georgia of course that's in the dome there in Atlanta uh 92 and sunny will be what's happening outside be a lot more comfortable indoors Virginia Tech at vanderbelt that's at 12 Eastern 11 Central looks like it's going to be 89 degrees at kickoff it'll be humid there's a 20% chance of storms at kickoff it does look like the rain chance goes up during the game to 60% so this is a game where I would say there's a chance for a lightning delay at some point that's a pretty PR big road trip for Virginia Tech there heading to Nashville Chattanooga at Tennessee that's at 12:45 Eastern 11:45 Central it'll be 86 degrees at kickoff with a 20 to 30% chance of storms that chance also just like in Nashville goes up during the game so another chance for rain unfortunately with that one let's go to Austin Colorado State at Texas 3:30 Eastern 230 Central 89° will be the temperature it looks a little bit more humid here with the heated decks close to 100 there's are 30 % chance to 40% chance of scattered storms during that game and of course the most humid uh place in the conference this weekend Miami goes to Florida that's at 3:30 Eastern 230 Central the air temperature looks to be 94 at kickoff the heat indexs around 102 just a 20% chance of scattered thunderstorms Colombia South Carolina Old Dominion visits Columbia this weekend and at 4:15 Eastern that game will kick off it'll be hot 93 at kick off with a few clouds that heated next near 100 the chance for rain with this game is very low moving over to Starkville for Eastern Kentucky at a four uh that's a 6 o' Eastern kick 5:00 Central it'll still be uh before sunset here so it'll be 91 at kickoff fairly humid but partly cloudy and just 20% chance of a thunderstorm that chance for storms goes up as you go just towards the north to Oxford Ferman visits number six Old Miss 7:00 eastern 6:00 Central it'll 86 at kickoff and the chance for storms a little bit better than it will be in Starkville 30 to 40% on that scattered storm chance Western Kentucky at Alabama that's at 6 7:00 eastern 6:00 Central it'll be 90 Dees at kickoff partly cloudy only a 20% chance of storm there storms there in Tusk Lusa then one of the bigger games of the day one of the biggest non-conference matchups it's number 7 Notre Dame at number 20 Texas A&M that kicks at 7:30 Eastern 6:30 Central looks like it'll be uh CH there will be a chance for scattered storms it looks like it'll be 30 to 40% there and so this is another game we're really going to have to watch the radar for the possibility of a lightning delay Alabama A&M goes to Auburn that's at 7:30 Eastern 6:30 Central be 88 at kickoff looks like no rain is expected in Auburn there will be a few clouds with light Southeast winds and then Southern Miss goes to Kentucky that's 7:45 Eastern 645 Central it'll be 80° at kickoff this is another spot that's going to have rain during the day looks like a 60% chance of rain at kickoff that chance decreases during the evening so it's not a done deal that it'll um enter this game into a lightning delay but there is a good chance that something will be in the area during the day and then on Sunday of course we've got LSU at USC that game indoors but out in Vegas it will be sunny with a high temperature of 105 again I want to thank you guys I'll be bringing you these updates weekly throughout the course of the Season It won't always be from this beautiful Studio here where they record the hog Central Podcast here at KV and uh I'm just happy to be a part of this show we'll be bringing you the weather updates continually hopefully they're better weather updates as we go through the rest of this season we'll talk to you guys next week all right Shane so again follow James Bryant thank you so much for providing that uh you know what a wonderful addition that is and I just as as I was listening to that Shane I mean how miserable is it when you're like 90° that's that's pretty good right there you know like so I don't need a I may need a jacket after all you know no it's going to be pretty warm I I am kind of curious about the scattered showers but uh but all in all man it looked like it was going to be kind of low you know I think the highest one I saw there was Kentucky so that that one kind of intrigued me a little bit uh kind of a saturated game if you will but uh a lot of indoors I forgot about out heat index that's the thing man that heat I saw Swamp man you got some swamp ass down there man it's going to be hot hey old philli I appreciate you he just gave us 10 bucks hey thanks CZ he says I think we should hire Mike and shanes from foxy assistant to help with the podcast that that hey they're more welcome over here I I think Shay's wife will veto that in on his side but absolutely yeah not happening all right Shan so let's look ahead to uh we only got one game Friday again we we've already picked the Thursday games missou and Arkansas Oklahoma vs. Temple obviously they're going to kick some ass tonight uh that those are going to be laughers here but we got uh the first game Oklahoma as an SEC team tample at Oklahoma Shane Oklahoma favored by 42 and a half points with an over under 59 and this game will be uh Friday night ESPN 7:00 eastern 6 Central Shane how bad are them suitors going to whoop people's ass come on Welcome to the SEC right a lot of eyes going to be on this game uh just because of that this is a team that that most of us aren't used to playing or playing against you know so I'm pumped up to see what they put on the football field mainly on that offensive side of the ball I think we know exactly what we're going to have on defense and that's just a dominant for I mean I I'd be surprised if Temple moves across the 50 yard line too much in this football game Mike as as uh CZ James would say there's probably like a 60% probability that they don't okay Oklahoma's going to beat the [ __ ] out of these guys but the problem I have Mike is the spread that's a lot of points yeah I think you said what 43 and a half right 42 and A2 42 and A2 so let let me have Oklahoma 42 Temple zero it's not often you get a shut out you still don't cover the spread you know yeah and 42 points on that yeah I just think 43 uh I just I don't know that's a lot of points not saying that it can't happen wouldn't be surprised if it did happen this one I'm probably not going to put any money on because it it feels like one of those games that they just may showcase if you will right and I mean again why we want to feature James and that fantastic weather report I mean you know you try to go a step further you know if this game was played in in November and there's no no I mean it might be a little chilly but you know if if weather was not a factor at all Oklahoma's to kill him yeah but if it's damn near you know 90° 100° some of these games It just strikes me that we're just not going to leave our starters out there for a ton of these games and and particularly when you're still trying to figure things out and you're like in Oklahoma who thankfully uh you know you don't have like Texas A&M schedule coming out here uh you got you got three games to figure things out so are you really going to leave your starters in for the entirety of of Temple I mean that that would seem foolish to me so I I'm right there with everything you said could Oklahoma cover this certainly wouldn't surprise me at all but I I'm right there with you I like Temple to cover but I mean it's not much different than your Shane I've going Oklahoma 45 Temple give a couple field goals sh give him I'm give Temple six I I think they'll get across the 50 twice and they'll they'll nail some long field goals here tonight shut out absolutely going to be a good game and and I think you hit the n on the head a lot of heat index that's one thing you're going to notice a lot of you'll always see that thermometer down on the football field as somebody sweating their ass off you know it's like just don't forget it's a little warmer down there in those pads right hey appreciate your cousin bro regard thank you C thanks for the Koozie says Mike you got some good handwriting cursive is all lock go valls all right how about uh into the Saturday action Ole Miss vs. Furman Shane let's go man this is what it's really going to start heating up you know what we got one of the more interesting seems to watch this season Shane Old Miss hosting Ferman mhm well I believe he out of South Carolina the reason I know that is because they played South Carolina about a year ago I think but uh old best favored by 42 points Shane the over unders 60 and a half points this going to be a evening game seven Eastern six Central here on uh SEC and ESPN plus it's it's beating so bad Shane they don't want it televised you know what I'm saying absolutely and I I think there's going to be a couple talking points after this football game because everybody knows I actually us Talking Heads have been talking about Old Miss offense for how long Mike but I feel like this is a game that we say oh yeah by the way they were very active in the portal for defense and I feel like that's going to be the talking point after this Old Miss game I'm not expecting too many crazy fireworks on that side of the football I do think Lane opens it up a little bit cuz he's got to see what he has and and I would love to see Jackson on these Heisman race you know uh list that at the tell end of the season this is exactly where you pad those stats so I like Old Miss and I like uh I like it with the points here so uh what what do we got here Old Miss 52 Ferman seven I thought you were G to go another shutout I was like my goodness shut they got one touchdown early I think it's like one of those maybe like seven to seven games and then that's the last time Ferman gets over the reded I gu so maybe like just one defensive coverage bust in yeah one one little accident maybe maybe Lane went for it on fourth down or something like that you know oh I love that pick shape because when when I saw this line 42 again I get it that's a ton of points but Lane kein loves to run it up mhm and I'm again same thing I said about Oklahoma you can apply to this game is Jackson Darton compy are they going to be out there the entire game no that'd be foolish they they only play may only play half the game the starters but Lane's going to want to see what he's got in his backups and he is not going to take his foot off the throttle I really don't think I me I mean I I think they're going to try to score at will in this football game they've done it before they've got some 50 some 60 I I think they even beat one team by like 70 points in the opener last year Shane it was another team of this caliber so I I'm going to go off what we saw there and how good I think Old Miss is so I I'm right there with you Shane you nailed it I give me Old Miss 65 Ferman gets a couple field goal one more than the other team sh give me Ferman they got nine points so I think we'll see a we'll see like you said a bust or two it's not going to result in a touchdown but it's going to result in three field goals for Ferman on Saturday I think however many points they give up that's how many Coke bottles should be on the podium when he comes up you know so maybe nine Coke bottles sitting there as he's giving his press conference at the end of this game uh but I I think you hit this and one thing that you watch with Lane and maybe you're not familiar with is is he keeps up with this stuff he likes the spreads if you remember a few years back that Vanderbilt game it was real close and then all of a sudden they start taking the lead but he had an opportunity to really drain the clock but n he wanted to get those points in so he could get over at spread that he didn't know anything about so yeah this these things matter uh to Lane so I I like the I like U I like the points here too well hey and speaking of Old Miss I forgot to mention this I I meant to do it right off the top Shane fake injuries you know that has SEC mandates injury reports been uh yeah when I think Old Miss I think of fake injuries I I don't know after being at that Tennessee loss I that will never not be what I think of when it comes to Lane Ken but the SEC officially today Shane they announced they're doing the injury reports now they're only doing them for conference games MH cuz they're not going to give an advantage to the non-conference teams let them know everything but I just want everyone to be aware this so they're going to have to do a weekly starting on Wednesday they're got to give a a full injury report and then a final one on Saturday and here's the reporting structure Shane you have to say whether our guy's available whether our guy's probable questionable doubtful or out and that's what you have to designate every single player U now will they all say probable you know who knows but uh they are finding coaches Shane and this is some serious finds $25,000 they're going to find the head coach for the first time they lie on this thing and it's a 100,000 every time after that so uh I don't know will these coaches be lying for 100,000 I I don't know I I think they'll take this pretty seriously yeah just kind of curious how you would play that like if you say questionable MH or doubt let's say let's say probable let's say say you said probable and they don't play is that a fine or is that you know what I'm saying think so wow okay yeah that's that got intriguing yeah well you know what else was intriguing Shane what's that free breakfast for Life come on head on over to hellofresh put in that promo code free sec that's F re they're willing to give anybody that signs up right now at hellofresh a free breakfast item for the length of your subscription Shane there's so many I mean you could we're talking bacon we're talking sausage we're talking eggs whatever you want out there at breakfast they're going to give it to you for free for the entire length of your subscription over at hellofresh with that promo code free sec you can mix and match your your uh orders each week Shane's going to have to go V vegan already on one of these bets you could switch that out I mean he's not a vegan but he can go vegan for a week with hell fresh you know itle clearly clearly no and and it's another way to impressed too you know you get this meal and you whip it up hide the Box you know after you whip this thing up for your husband or your wife or whoever you're you're cooking for here and then you get this nice dish then all of a sudden he thinks you you took all that time to make this wonderful meal for him even though you had all the cheat codes there with the hello fresh box yes one last time that promo free sec over at hellofresh one free breakfast item for life you can't beat it you know what else you can't beat Shane yeah you can't beat Auburn on the planes come on buddy let's kick it over to Alabama A&M mhm M trying to find my little uh thing here Alabama A&M at Auburn yeah here we go boom nailed it uh Auburn vs. Alabama A&M Auburn favored Shane by 47 and a half points oh what a whooping they're going to get here on Saturday they over under 56 and A2 points this is a a 7:30 p.m. eastern time 6:30 Central kickoff on SEC network and ESPN plus this is another one sh that this is gonna be so bad they are afraid of what's going to happen to Alabama A&M we do not want this massacre televised how many is Auburn going to win by here a lot absolutely a lot Mike and it's it's a pretty it's going to be a pretty day it's actually one of the ones that didn't have any weather it looked like so 80 80 degrees so now it's going to be a nice football game here Mike and I feel like it's a it's a good start for for what Auburn wants to do I mean they got a stretch at home games here to kind of capitalize on don't stumble out of the gate I don't think they do here but um I do feel like it's a little bit I mean how many points did you say it was like 40 47 and a half that's too many so I'm I'm going with 35 I think they win by 35 here I do I I can't wait to see some of these young players that we keep hearing about that we heard about last year kind of getting some more playing time this season this is a perfect game to do that so if you're a DieHard Auber fan you're going to love it because you're also going to see what this football program may look like in another year or late this season so give me Auburn 49 Alabama A&M 14 well Shane you're known as a Hugh freeze hater so I'm not surprised that you picking Alabama A&M with the spread so I'm going the other way baby because H freze called to plays he can do no wrong I think he's want to showcase these weapons that he's got all these this young Talent this is a game where they'll shine because they're just completely going to be outclassed but uh or outclass Alabama A&M so give me Auburn sh you ain't going to believe this 55 Alabama A&M give him a field goal 55 to3 I think this is a that's an easy cover on the plane Shane the only issue is maybe if uh you know we do have some inexperienced backup quarterbacks this is a game you're going to want to get them tons of play if they struggle which I don't think they will clearly but if they struggle then you may be right and that 47 and a half is is a lot a lot a lot to to to give up so I've I'm not as confident on this one but after Bas and Auburn all off season I'm gonna praise them right here and hope they win by 50 plus yeah Hugh doesn't lose to Alabama A&M all right how about this one Shane Eastern Kentucky yeah at o uh Mississippi State vs. EKU Mississippi State the first game of the jef leby era boom there's my little thing here Mississippi State favorite only by 25 sh this this was about 30 earlier in the week till it was announced uh starting running backs off the team for now number one receiver Kelly aari's out number one safety Cory Ellington he's out but they're still 25o favorite over under 60 and a half points who you got in this one Shane oh Mike I I feel like this is going to be a fun game because you've not seen offense in so long uh I can't remember what they're saying is something like show me or Showtime or something like that that's that's what Mississippi State that's what leby brings to this program but like you said we started hearing some bad news on the injury front this is a team that can't afford some of those with the depth issues they already have I'm a little worried about just out of the gate this is a program I feel like will get better throughout the season um I'm not saying that they're going to struggle against Eastern Kentucky but I just don't think that it's going to be a bloodbath that it would be maybe next year or the year after so um closer game I I I don't I think that's too many points for me Mike give me Mississippi still winning 38 Eastern Kentucky 24 oo what if they had to put in this rule because you know we don't know much about Jeff lby yet yeah you know he's was at Old Miss he was at Oklahoma a good play caller we don't know much about him as a head coach right right what if he's saying bagging what if all his guys are healthy and they're going to come out here and he's he's what in a dull expect oh man Eastern Kentucky could be tough spreads dropped by five points let's beat their ass by 50 points just score every possession Force turnovers left and right I mean how great would that be it'd be awesome it'd be awesome I want Mississippi State to be good I really do and especially teams like this this is an opportunity to kind of really show us what this system could be you know and uh but I I still just worry right out of the gate you know stumbling a little bit making stupid mistakes which you see a lot of time times with these upte Tempo offenses well Shan I said all that because I'm right there with you I I'm not I think this was a game CH where where Mississippi State fans could could sit here and say damn we got a we got a long way to go yeah and that doesn't mean they're going to be threatened by this team but you know but but maybe they are maybe it's like close at half and and Mississippi State I I certainly think Mississippi state will pull away and and win by a wide margin but I'm going Mississippi State 30 Eastern Kentucky 10 so still a 20o type ball game but I I like EKU and the points MH uh this I'm just so fascinated to see what this what this team is and some of the guys I'm most confident about now I find out they're not even going to be playing so this this is a tough one I I don't even I don't know how to project this one yeah out of 16 teams I would say this is definitely a top five program I just want to see um just because like you said there's there's a lot of question marks a lot of uncertainties you know if you've got a couple of names but we just got to see it I want to I want to see it in action so um yeah lebby has he has nowhere but up to go and and we may come away from this game saying hey maybe we miscalculated how good Mississippi State can be oh yeah I I think we that's certainly a possibility too Shane now how about this Tennessee vs. Chattanooga one the one you've been waiting for Brother choga the old mock they're traveling the nean stadium Tennessee by 38 and a half points the over Runners 57 Shane Tennessee is only favored by 38 and a half what what's going on here why the disrespect for your beloved vs cuz it's raining you know we know we know how them balls are the raid I think that's the only that's the only kicker but but honestly b i I don't know maybe it's a little bit of a conservative approach here I think you know chatt and sometimes I make fun of them because you know sabin's Infamous speech on how great these guys are and the coach that's no longer there he is that that type of thing but you know it is some of one of the better programs that are playing the SEC uh this this week but um that's the only thing I can guess and and part of the reason why I thought maybe that's too many points but then I had that realization that this ain't Joe Milton this is my man the He Man Nico coming out here to put on an ass whooping in front of all these Vault fans to get them fired up for this upcoming season so I I love I love the balls big here even though it's rated Mike I joke give me Tennessee 55 Chattanooga 10 that's it just 55 Shake just 55 yeah I mean they they tap the breaks in the fourth quarter I mean remember the rain comes later in the game so gotcha wow yeah that's key that's ke to remember thank you James Bryant for letting us know but uh no I mean Shane I'm still I'm blowed away 38 and a half I don't get it unless Chattanooga is sitting on some talent that I I mean is Terrell Owens back here coming back you know I I don't believe so so uh you know hypo is known to to jump on these teams yeah like like these are the teams where they jump I mean it's not even the end of the first quarter and it's 21 to zero already yeah and I think they're just going to pile on they they got a lot of talent to work with here now what do they look like if and when Nico sits for for a portion of the game that is that is something to be concerned about but uh even the Gaston Moore I mean I think he I think they could win this game by 30 plus points if he's a starting quarterback so true I'm right there with you Shane the Tennessee is going to whoop some ass here uh but they ain't scoring 55 Shane there's no way in hell Tennessee is scoring 55 they're scoring 63 points in this one shade Tennessee 63 chatted nooga 10 so I mean they almost double the cover Chattanooga is nice have you ever visited it's getting it's prettier than it used to be I hear that I hear that yeah you should check it out after we beat them go down there and enjoy a night on town in Chattanooga okay we'll do how about this one shade first game of the Kalin deore era down in Tuscaloosa number five Alabama against Alabama vs. Western Kentucky Western Kentucky Crimson Tide favored by 31 points that's another interesting here sh over under 60 and a half points who's winning this one Mike you know I the thing about Western Kentucky m is I've seen them in several games that they should have gotten blown out but they didn't I mean you ask Kentucky ask Arkansas they've seen some games uh Tennessee and we've seen some tight games with Western Kentucky and and naturally you're thinking Alabama doesn't worry about teams like this Mike that has come out they they beat the spread whatever they just come out here and put on a show but there's a little bit of me says well what if Mike what if this isn't the year that they just come out storming and I feel like that may be a little bit of the growing paints I've been telling you here in the off season I I I think Alabama makes this game close I think it could be tight by the end of the first quarter but then Alabama just never looks back and but unfortunately they don't get enough points here so give me Alabama 42 give me uh Western Kentucky 17 Shane do you know who the quarterback is for Western Kentucky these days no I have no idea our our long time friend TJ Finley at LSU and now he's at Western Kentucky who knows where he'll be next season but it ain't probably going to be in the winter Circle cuz you're absolutely right I mean Alabama's going to whoop their ass here but I am a little concerned Shane about the defense you know yeah Hilton they're they're head coach he's he's pretty good at at developing a pass game and and TJ Finley I mean you can make all the jokes you want he's pretty talented guy so I think they might have some success with with a completely reworked Alabama secondary and defense you know to the tune of like two touchdowns so I like Alabama obviously but I actually like Western Kentucky and the spread here so so give me Alabama 38 Western Kentucky 14 cuz I still think there'll be a little bit of a feeling out process here yeah for for kin AB boarding company is that fair that's fair that's fair and I like Helton I I think you I mean he's one of those coaches that he can scheme right but you can only scheme so long against a team like Alabama I think that's why it's close at at the first but then Alabama just pulls away from God's natural Talent what will the reaction be though sh let's say let's say said the game's tide at halftime what how will how will tide fans react dude if I could if I Kentucky vs. Southern Miss could Buzz Paul F bomb i' I'd love to see his voice mailes you know all right how about this one Shane I know you GNA like this one oh Kentucky Shane you're Kentucky Wildcats hosting Southern Miss Kentucky favored by 28 points the overun 49 and a half interesting here Shane who do you like in the ball game Kentucky hosting Southern Miss give me them Kentucky Wild Cats Mike I I feel like they pounce on them early and often but one of the things that you and I have talked about this team there's going to be a little bit of a sluggish start I I just feel like it's going to happen and they're going to kind of get back to that ground and pound now the offset the the the the ER with getting ground and pound is that clock keeps ticking tick tick tick tick and then all of a sudden those how many points you say 35 20 what was the spread on this guy 28 points 28 points I know that seems closer than some of these other games we talked about but that's four scores and all that rain I don't know man I don't think this is ever a football game Mike I feel like Kentucky jumps on them early wouldn't be surprised if it starts out 35 to Z I just feel like once they hit that number they ain't going to score anymore so give me Kentucky 35 Southern Miss 14 well I know who loves that Shane that's William he just became a member of the channel he's a big Kentucky fan there but he probably wants more points give give him some more points for being a member here but you know I like a lot of what you had to say because new offensive coordinator new quarterback you know still working the pieces out a little bit on the offensive line with a new offensive line coach even though he's the old offensive line coach just a lot of new pieces now C Kentucky come out here and score 40 something points and would that surprise me uh not really but again this could be another one Shane where you hold back just a little bit Yeah you maybe don't show what uh the new offensive coordinator all the all the uh adjustments you know all the all the new things he's got working because you don't want South Carolina to see it on film till they come up to you next week you know what I mean so again they'll win comfortably but will they win by 28 I don't think so and I I think that's by Design just like maou last year I guess you could say started slow hell they were winning the games that's that's all anybody really remembers but they weren't blowing teams out so give me Kentucky 35 Southern Miss 10 so just barely missed the cover there but uh I'm liking a lot of the unders this week I really am yeah me too and and and I I think you hit the nil in the head this is more about next week you know that South Carolina matchup why why show anything when you can just be physical and run over these guys and I feel like that's going to be the approach for Stoops and Company now Texas vs. Colorado St how about this one Shane they they've been talking all this trash this week in my mentions I don't know about you Texas Body Texas Shane number four first game as an SEC team hosting Colorado State not DL and the other cut there's apparently two schools out there Texas favored by 32 points at home the over under 60 and a half I know I like the joke Shane but how bad's Texas going to whoop their asses weekend pretty bad man pretty pretty bad and and I'm not worried this is another game I'm not worried about I'm more I'm more intrigued by who we get to see at the tell end of this game I saw another article by uh uh yeah odar came out he's tell me about how good Manning is and I'm like well damn man why you do that I want I want to get on the years Camp because that's that's the guy you're pushing for a Heisman you know when we look back at a potential National Championship run it's it's going to be his team but uh part of me is wanting to see what what this uh what these backups could do too but one thing that I I the way I feel this game plays out Mike I feel like similar to Kentucky that Texas just jumps out on them quick and and and often and I don't think they really change their identity once they had that lead they just changeed some of the personnel and unfortunately that may result in maybe a couple scores so the points too many for me give me Texas winning though 49 Colorado State 20 and this is another one Shane that you know it could be an epic epic showdown next week Texas goes to Michigan same deal Michigan we know they're cheaters we know they lost their coach and all that but from what I understand Shane They're bringing back virtually everybody on the defensive side of the football U and and they were very strong on defense so it's going to be strength on strength next week Texas offense Michigan defense but same deal how much is SAR going to want to put on film for Michigan you know that remains to be seen and now we're getting like you said shout out onire over there at Orange Bloods letting us know how great Arch Bing is I mean that's that seems to be a hint you know that that Arch is going to get a lot of run in this football game and what's that mean exactly I mean Shane's like diagnosing my playbook over here but they're going to jump up early on them yeah probably be up by 30 28 30 points by halftime let the Young Gun out there in the second half it let you know I'm not saying he's going to make mistakes because that's not at all what s s said he's ready to go but even if he does we're we're up by so many it doesn't matter get out of here with a win move on to Michigan that's the one we're really worried about so get I'm right there with you Texas wins comfortably but I actually like Colorado State and the points so give me Texas third 38 Colorado State 10 hey Mike over under three dressed up Conor stallions shown up on camera I mean Texas is missing an opportunity if we don't see some many sorority or or fraternity guys dressed up like like the stallion there yeah oh yeah way way way over the sunglasses Little Red Dot right there all right how about this one Shane oh I the trucking company Trucking Company apparently they're traveling to South Carolina it's going to be uh at South Carolina vs. Old Dominion least they got the the vehicles to get up there uh Gamecock favored by 21 just 21 Shane that's pretty interesting over under 52 points uh this is going to be a uh evening game there in Columbia it's going to be hot as hell heat index 100 degrees oh buddy and the way I mean Beamers got me scared Shane yeah this team was six close losses away from being in colge football playoff what who who wins this one oh Mike I think South Carolina wins this one but I do think that it's closer than the fans want and I'm not saying quite Jackson Jacksonville State or anything like that but you know they they've done this the last couple of years Mike early in the season these no-name teams that shouldn't be closed they're just letting them stick around uh right we've got not a quarterback controversy but there's quarterback question marks I think think zers has an opportunity to really showcase his talent but he also has an opportunity to let it slip and touchdown Robbie come in there and make this thing even murkier going into that Kentucky matchup so I I I am not touching this one gambling wise with a 10- foot pole but I do like South Carolina to win 31 Trucking Company Old Dominion 17 they may just leave a truck there in in Columbia in case they need it later to move somebody uh what if they manufacture struggle that way ky's like oh God we got we got these guys you know what I mean Beamers playing chess right and kicking boxes come on let's think about this he he learned that one from Connor I think that was that was part of his tactic but yeah I I don't know Shane I don't I don't know what to make and and again we can sit here and just talk about it till it actually happens we won't know till we see it but you know sellers this offensive line and a new running back and new weapons all around him I I think it could be a struggle for South Carolina on the offensive side of the football I really do right out the gate and and to your point they've have seemingly struggled every season right out the gate yeah now can they correct that certainly they can but will they I don't know so this is the one Shan I'm not calling it a uh an upset you know I'm not putting it on upset alert or anything but if there is one that is a that is a Monumental upset in the SEC this it's probably this one yeah is that fair no that's fair I I I was honestly thinking about a couple of games that could potentially be upsets not saying they will but that worry me a little bit the the Eastern Kentucky was one against Mississippi State and then this one here right so again I say all that I give me South Carolina to win yeah but Old Dominion to cover I'm South Carolina 27 Old Dominion 14 the difference in the game for me is going to be South Carolina's defense yeah and if they continue to play uh you know carry over that momentum they had in the second half of last season if they can carry that over to this year they're going to they're going to hold a lot of teams under 20 points well and and on the flip side of that coin Mike that South Carolina has a chance to shut us up they have a chance to come out here sellers look like the guy this defense look as locked down as they're supposed to be and then we're going into that Kentucky match up saying damn I think South Carolina's got this thing so it's just Old Dominion I get that but South Carolina has an opportunity to to to kind of put some of us at ease not that they care I mean not that Beamer cares what we think but you know honestly we we want them to be successful we don't want a close game with Old Dominion if you're an SEC Homer like myself but uh that they have an opportunity to kind of make up some ground here Joseph says another broke toe incoming oh God please that would be wild would it when it's when it's a 100 heat index Shane frustrations people get angry people start stuff I it gets hot I don't want to do [ __ ] you know I go out of course I mean the temperature got to be right for me to want to do anything like 72 degrees you know but heat index over a 100 goly and I'm buzzing off some beers it could be a it could be a long walk back to the vehicle if they lose that one how about this one Shay we're Vanderbilt vs. Virginia Tech getting into the the better games here Virginia Tech at Vanderbilt Virginia Tech though favored by 13 and a half points over under 48 points this is an opportunity shade for vanderbelt to show that this is a new season and this is a new team does vanderbelt get it done Mike it took one trip to Ireland to realize that nobody knows what's going on over there in that dumb conference you know what I'm saying so when I hear these talking has tell me how good Virginia Tech's supposed to be I take it with a grain of salt because you know what Florida state was supposed to win a National Championship and they flew over the pond to get their ass beat by Georgia Tech so part of me says well let's tap the breaks and maybe maybe just maybe we're not giving Virginia or um Vanderbilt enough credit you know coach Lee enough credit for what he brought in I mean especially like coaching staff and transfers they again they lost some but they didn't just sit on their their hands they went out there and they got some athletes theel so I don't know I feel like this is going to be a scrappy little team and with the scrappy little team usually comes close victories Mike potential upsets potential upsets Mike moristown Honda give me Vanderbilt 28 Virginia Tech 27 Coach Lee gets the upset I think you're just say that cuz you and Lee have the same haircut yeah how did you know how I got this manscape hey I'd love to see it Shane I really would I I would love to see Vanderbilt do it and hey this a new season it's optimistic I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer yeah but I got to see it yeah you know they were so awful last year and they lost so many guys via the portal of course they brought some in and they'll have an influx from that New Mexico State the coordinator and head coach and quarterback so can they get can they get that winning culture I think they can I just don't know if it happens overnight I'd love to see it and and Vanderbilt's a popular pick right now maybe not to win out right but to cover the spread I I'll go that far Shane give me vanderbelt to cover the spread but I do like Virginia Tech to win this football game give me Tech 28 vanderbelt 20 so I think we're in the we're in the stage of vanderbelt we're like hey we lost by one score that's that's a win right there you know what yeah I don't want to be there I they don't want to be in that cha man pull off an upset shut us guys up yeah uh all Georgia vs. Clemson right how about this one Shane Big Time Showdown here right out the gate on Saturday yes cannot wait for this matchup looking for my little thing here I guess I don't have it but anyway does matter little things doesn't even matter Shan cson number 14 number one Georgia in Atlanta what a showcase game I think it's going to be a lot better game Than People realize well we'll see what you think but 13 and A2 points them dogs are favored by over under 48 and a half points how bad's Georgia whooping that ass all Saturday Mike Mike I tell you brother this this reminds me a lot of that Georgia Oregon opener a few years back you know what I'm saying that we just talked up that these two teams are going to be close and this is going to be a fun awesome match up till it wasn't till you know 69ine tight ends are just jumping over every everybody and you realize these guys do not belong on the same playing field that's the same thing that's going to happen here man I think dbos one of the things that we're going to come out at the end of this I can't wait for the memes I can't wait for the crying memes the eating the pizza memes the Michael Jordan memes all of them they need to come hard at D Dabo because he ain't answering his phone no more so we got to send it to him via Twitter Mike Georgia is going to beat the breaks off Clemson not going to be close I got a bet on this thing don't forget if Clemson somehow pulls off the miracle I will be dressing up as jelly roll and Performing the new uh ABC song not going to happen not going to happen even though I got the outfit just in case give me Georgia big here lock of the week 42 Clemson barely gets 13 get the hell off the football F 42 to 13 42 to 13 not even going to be close and you know what he may want to check out that portal next year oh man I'd love to see it Shay there's few coaches I I dislike more than old Dabo so yeah I will be rooting for that and uh root you know just I I want to see that outcome so bad but man I don't know Shan I mean I've been looking at Clemson here year two offensive coordinator year two quarterback they they brought in Matt Luke to sh up the offensive line I they got a really good front seven I mean I I think they will be able to test Georgia and I really think if Clemson loses this game which you know I think the acc's black ey will continue I think just like you're saying Dabo will be written off Clemson will be written off and I don't know I I just think I think the motivation is on Clemson's side I really do and that's not to say Georgia won't be motivated because like cam I believe it was just said in the comments and it's absolutely true Kirby gets his guys ready yeah right out the gate they they've come out and whoops some ass even remember after you know winning the national championship you're thinking well how motivated is this team going to be against against Oregon they could have beat Oregon by 100 that day and maybe they'll do that to Clemson too Shane but I I don't know I I think Clemson will be the more motivated team Georg is clearly the better team so give me the better team to win at the end of the day but I think this is um this is another one Shane that I think upset potential I I'm going complete opposite of you I'm going Georgia 27 Clemson 24 so I I think like a field goal in the fourth quarter decides this football game golly what has Dabo got on you son no this ain't going to be close at all I'm walking this thing down geez all right how about number seven Notre Dame Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame Shane at number 20 Texas A&M Texas a& favored by three so who matters more the pulsers of Vegas Shane I say Vegas over under 46 and a half points debut of the Mike Elco era down in College Station who wins this one oh man this is going to be a great game gonna wait I forgot you hate A&M Sor I'm sorry go ahead I mean that's what I about to lean into is uh I'm not a fan of these guys and I kind of wish they weren't the top 25 cuz I feel like that's something you need to earn it's not you can't just show up with the patch the SEC logo and say hey we belong in the top 25 why because the last two wonderful Seasons you provided us look at my bank account Mike they that they would argue that that's not correct I have been burnt too many times by A&M and brother you have been trying to bring me into this Camp all offseason and I'm not going to do it you know Notre Dame is the better football team Mike Notre Dame I can't even believe game day is showing up to this thing because Texas A&M may get ran out pretty early but you sucked me back in Mike give me Texas A&M 28 Notre day 21 get the hell out of here Rudy sucked well it's just I yeah I'm out on Texas a but man I hate Notre Dame and Notre Dame if you if they win this thing we're going to hear how they should be National Championship contenders all season long if Texas A&M puts them away like they're supposed to I mean that defensive front should have a field day against these guys all you just need a little life a little life from the offensive side the football and I'm telling you what they have an opportunity to win this game they should win this game so yeah give me A&M please don't hurt me and I don't think people will understand and you know they may couple week I I think they will in a couple weeks into the season Shane I don't think they understand fully appreciate MH the gold mine that Mike ELO is sitting on here because of damn Jimbo Fisher and his stubbornness and lack of creativity they and they went out and hired an offensive coordinator saying that's all he does that's all he knows because he's had to scrap and Claw out of Kansas State and get them to do a productive offense we're going night and day from vanilla offense to one of the most uh creative minds on the offensive side of the football football in in college football and we're bringing back one of the top defensive Minds with a a roster completely loaded now it's not as loaded because they lost some guys via the port but they added just as many so I you know hardly anybody's got A&M in the playoff picture and it is premature to put them there they have to earn that and I like that the fact that Mike Elko is you know just stopping all that talk right out the gate because because no one should be saying it cuz we've seen A&M flop time and time and time again but this is going to be a new A&M Shane and and you're playing down here Kyle Field it's going to be hot as hell college game day Johnny Manzel and oh yeah the the key to the game Shane you got a monstrous defensive line chalk full of potential former or or going to be NFL draft not only just NFL draft picks High round draft picks meanwhile Notre Dame you got a green offensive line who just lost their key offensive lineman at left tackle for the season so I think this is going to be a battle of the trenches and I think A&M's going to dominate in that aspect give me A&M I'm pretty confident about this one Shane well Four Points confident Texas a 24 Notre Dave 20 I think the Aggies get a huge win right off the bat to start the Mike Elco era oh be big it'd be massive for for that fan basee brother I mean could you just what they have gone through you thought we suffered with Jimbo Fisher could you imagine that being your coach I mean come on we got Elco let's let's let's win some football games Brother all right how about uh what could be the game of the week Shane Miami at Florida I guess it's my Florida Gator now these days you know what uh but Miami favored by two and a half what the Florida vs. Miami hell wrong teams favored wrong teams favored over under 54 and a half points Miami Hurricanes will they live up to the hype Billy and AP will he be gone by the third quarter what's going to happen here Shane who you got Miami or Florida I tell you what man I've been back and forth on this for all offseason i' hear something good about Florida I get on the Florida wagon I hear something good about Miami I'm back on the Miami wagon this is It's sad that this is considered a football game because you know I'm looking at some of the greats that's been through there and we didn't worry about Miami here the last few years so Mike I I think Miami one of the one of the Fantastic interviews you had earlier this week I kind of got pulled back in with how many weapons they've got on that side and and kind of hedging your bets on how good Florida's defense can be you know and and but what if they're not what if they don't jail what if they don't take that step forward I feel like there is an opportunity here I mean as you just know you got burnt so many times last year that there's an opportunity that Florida in their opening drive has two false starts or something stupid like that you know just just infuriating imploding mistakes and that's that's what we've been doing the last few years but this is Billy's team right this is Billy's guys this is Billy's boys he's got the whole Army of coaches down there on the sideline boy I tell you there may be more people on the sideline than in the stands at this thing but brother I'm out I'm out until I see it I cannot say the Florida Gators are back so give me Miami 27 Florida 21 see this is a jaded jaded man here who the Florida Gators made him walk a little bit so now he's got it out for Billy and Company oh they're just trying to help you get healthy Shane sorry about it Florida Gators are back baby this is chop chop City here I ain't buying the Miami hype with all these transfers all these Renegades Shane a lot of people question Billy Napier how how good of a coach he is how smart is he all these operational issues well Miami's coach is such an idiot Mario chrisal he makes old Billy look like Albert Einstein you know what I mean so I think Florida's even got a coaching advantage in this matchup being in the swamp hot and humid this quarterback cam W coming in he's never played in an environment like this he's turnover prone oh yeah and what's the one one thing you can't bag Graham Merz on Shane he doesn't turn the ball over so he's careful with the football he's got all these weapons that's actually Miami's biggest weakness is there secondary too so I don't know I don't know where anybody's getting all this except for Florida Gator haters like you out there people ready to run Mr Billy Napier off coach of the year come on he's got a top 30 recruiting class Shane this guy this is our man here lock of the week Florida Gators not only do they cover they're whooping Florida's ass here Shane give me the Gators 30 give me Miami 14 it's that kind of blowout city here down in Gainesville and I'm going to go this far Shane this is my lock of the week manscape proud sponsor of the show if I'm wrong if Miami wins this damn game I'm gonna manscape the youu into my face and I'm going to wear it for our Sunday recap show again proud sponsor manscaped head on over to manscape.com put in that promo code that SEC they'll give you 20% off your entire order and free shipping and you ain't going to have to see a youu manscaped on my face because Florida's whooping that ass oh my gosh I I knew something was up Mike I knew something was up I thought you you got me a little bit you said Florida's getting there I thought he's going to switch it up on me here so you feel like Florida is that good huh you feel like they are back I mean if they come out and do exactly what you said then that makes Texas A&M possibly a win that makes you know some of these games that we've already penciled in as Quest like Tennessee matchups and things like that all of a sudden Florida is competitive maybe they are the the big dog in town so I just got to see it I got to see it I got to see one special teams with 11 players out there I've got to see a drive without false starts I've got to see turnovers from the defense that was last year Shane this was this year brother it's it's the same team M you know they went out yeah they got some portal guys but damn it's the same team same coaches and those mistakes I can't see week one so I I I got to see how much they grew up in the offseason okay okay final game here Shane Sunday night we're going to watch it live don't forget watch along with us we're going LSU vs. USC to do a Sunday recap and then as soon as that's over we're going to start over and just do a watch Along Watch Southern Cal LSU epic show down here in Las Vegas Shane number 22 Southern Cal number 13 LSU LSU favored by four and a half should be a lot more in my opinion over under 64 a half points who's winning this one a lot of offense Mike this one you know and that's one of the things I I I want to see is can LSU defense take that step forward because I think there's a real opportunity that this could be a 3814 Game LSU favor yeah but I'm not sold on the defense just yet so I still got LSU winning 38 USC 31 oh buddy lot of points but I I I honestly coach Kelly he's a he's a 10- win Coach man he's always going to find ways to win and I get it he's lost two season opener two we one openers I don't I don't think that happens I think he's he's been embarrassed by what's happened and and to get away from just give the give the damn boys the ball get behind that offensive line and let's let's score some touchdowns this was this is one of the ones that scares me the most I'm I'm not going to lie Shane for the SEC you know I mean yeah we talked about some others Mississippi State South Carolina but it's going to take a lot for those teams to lose I don't think it's going to take a ton for LSU to lose I really don't because how good is that defense right out the gate they they'll probably be a lot better by the end of the year yeah you know with all with experience under their belt this with this new coaching staff but I don't know Lincoln Riley Back Against The Wall he's out all this time to prepare you know a lot of scripted plays and things of that nature I I think southern cal could really have their way with LSU's defense but to your point lless she was going to have their way with the Southern Cal defense just as easily so you know but but in games like this Shane it could be you know a tipped pass here a tip ball there uh a fumble you know things that you just can't foresee that could that's going to dictate this game a strip sack there a strip sack there who comes up with those plays yeah and this ain't in Tiger stadium if it was in Tiger stadium was a different story uh this is in Vegas you know this one of these big settings one where LSU has has fallen flat time and time again H they haven't won an opener since 2019 Shan Joe burrow was their quarterback now that doesn't have anything to do with this year but I don't know LSU is just one of the toughest teams for me to predict I hope like hell they win because otherwise it's going to be a an embarrassment for the Southeastern Conference I'll go LSU just because I got more faith in Brian Kelly in the collection of talent than I do Southern Cal but I I don't know I I think I think Lincoln Ro Riley is going to have some some stuff cooked up here give me LSU 35 Southern Cal 33 so I I think it's like a field goal at the end wins it for LSU we don't use that name on this show Mike you know
