Introduction & Weekend Plans
00:00:01
Speaker
what is up everybody this is mason with the next guy up podcast i got zach here tinsley is picking pto he's currently in asheville watching all the football he can ah but we have also done the same and we're going to touch on as much football as possible that happened on saturday and sunday uh super pumped to go over that how are we doing zach how is everything Feel great. We had a lot of football happen, some exciting football yesterday, um a lot of fun stuff. And we have some we have some great news to report.
AI vs Human in Sports Betting
00:00:35
Speaker
um We are smarter than AI. It's official. AI is broken. AI, um, turns out, AI can do some stuff, but they can't sports bet like a weekend can.
00:00:47
Speaker
Uh, we are successfully up one to zero on the AI as far as completed parlays, our parlay for the week and hit this morning.
00:00:59
Speaker
TJ Hawkinson, we said to sweat that one out, uh, but drive. You know, you got to account for stuff like that. That's this kind of stuff. AI doesn't account for last minute. The time zone differences, stuff like that. We put all that into our we factored it in.
00:01:15
Speaker
We had as many receiving yards as Hawkinson did in the first half. So we had some ground ah to catch up on and it came through clutch. Some of the legs of the parlay were easier than others.
00:01:28
Speaker
Uh, somewhere yeah she's a south carolina for my easiest bet that i've made it pretty easy for like i think i was looking at halftime i was like oh all right moving on to the nfl game like i was not even didn't have to sweat that one out which can also be bad when that happens where you think you're fine and then the other team comes back at ah just a just the most insane comeback ever so true but it didn't happen this time so Speaking of betting, I wanted to start out with a crazy...
Mason's Near-Win Parlay Story
00:01:59
Speaker
And I would like to hear... ah Zach, i don't know if you really have any. and I wish Tinsley was on.
00:02:05
Speaker
Close parlays. DraftKings actually does... ah They call it a ghost leg, where the amount of parlays that miss just by one leg. um That's where I thought I was at at this point. So there was a ah boost for any time touchdown. i believe I had eight players.
00:02:24
Speaker
One of them was Jalen Warren, by the way, which ah a lot of memes were out there where it was like the guy squinting at his phone and it was like ah you waking up with Jalen Warren in your lineup because he was and pronounced out ah this morning. But anyways, I had him as one of the... But it was an eight-leg.
00:02:47
Speaker
Let me tell you the the players. ah Juckins, which is the running back for the Browns, he cashed. Bucky Irving cashed. Drake may rush to touchdown cash.
00:02:59
Speaker
Chris Alave cashed. Kyle pits cashed. lot of those are big plus money. So I reached out to the boys, uh, through group text.
00:03:10
Speaker
Um, I think I shared it before Sunday even started. So they were all kind of keeping an eye on it. And it was $5 pay out 29,000. Uh, uh,
00:03:21
Speaker
ah You're not going to believe the leg that I had, which it's easy to say now looking back, but it was the tight end for the Titans, which we're not going to get into right now. The and Titans offense, but or the Titans game.
00:03:36
Speaker
We'll save that for later. But I had him and we were sweating out. Cash out was one hundred and sixty dollars and they were both making some really good points. um Was talking about, you know, would you bet one hundred and sixty eight dollars on this guy had score touchdown um was like they're making some good points however i have seen on twitter where it's like the worst shout i've ever seen in my life and it's through this guy or girl that cashes out for like a hundred dollars and if they didn't cash out they would have cashed their thirty thousand dollar parlay
00:04:11
Speaker
So I was over here freaking out. It didn't hit. then I was like, of course, I'm going miss this about one leg because I only had one more player left, Derrick Henry. And then he didn't even score. So then I feel a little bit better. yeah You missed about two legs. You're fine. Yeah, so it's fine.
00:04:25
Speaker
I would love to see what that cash out would have looked like if, you know, we would have got down to the Derrick Henry leg. feel like it would have been six or seven thousand dollars.
00:04:36
Speaker
I would have took that probably in a heartbeat. and see Actually, i wouldn't have not because I would have been like, Derek Henry. Yeah, because they were like, oh, yeah, it's fine. He was like minus like 600 or ma ah six hundred minus 600, minus 160 to score touchdown.
00:04:50
Speaker
Big favorite. So I would have probably been like, you know what? We're 20K away from 30K away from Derek Henry. so Probably ride that one out. Yeah. Yeah, probably.
Colts vs Rams Game Recap
00:05:00
Speaker
All right, so that was my fun little thing to kick us off here. But I'd like to, if anybody's got any, reach out to the next guy up somehow. Just find us on our socials or whatever and tell us if you have any.
00:05:13
Speaker
Mail in. Mail in, yep. Mason, give your address. All right, real quick, it is. I'm just kidding. I don't want all the hate mail. Because somehow the guy that edits our TikToks always puts ah the my fraud of the week up.
00:05:27
Speaker
And it usually gets a lot of those numbers. Controversial guy. i wonder who does our TikTok content. Maybe you can never pop off.
00:05:39
Speaker
I guess my takes are just too reasonable for the Internet. and It's like, yeah, I got boring. Yeah. How many people have Michigan being fraud of the week after a win? Not too many people, which I got that right. So Mason is the clickbait king. That's what they call me.
00:05:59
Speaker
Okay, well, we do have some categories that we like to walk through on these Monday episodes just to give us a framework to break down the weekend in football.
00:06:10
Speaker
Mason, are you ready for this? I'm ready.
Oregon vs Penn State Defensive Battle
00:06:13
Speaker
Okay, first category. We have Game of the Week. Game of the Week.
00:06:23
Speaker
lot of fun games. uh yeah i was uh having trouble with this one because there was a lot of good games on i thought about doing college and i was like well zach's gonna cover some college so might as well throw in an nfl game uh and i am gonna go with the colts at the rams what a back and forth game um of course there were penalties and bonehead decisions that destroyed the colts uh there was a 53 yard touchdown by jonathan taylor that got called back because of a hold
00:06:54
Speaker
And probably one the worst call ah plays I've seen in a while. We usually see this once every five years, I feel like, of a wide receiver or running back ah walking into the end zone and fumbling at the inch yard line into the back of the end zone.
00:07:12
Speaker
Yeah. Mitchell, wide receiver for the Colts, did that. ah Fumbling into the back of the end zone. Literally had it. Nobody around him. And just like let go of it early.
00:07:25
Speaker
ah So was just a tough break. Pukunakua catching the ball with a touchdown. Three minutes left. And then them getting the ball back and scoring an 88-yard touchdown by Tutu Atwell with a minute 33. That basically summed up the game.
00:07:42
Speaker
with a Daniel Jones pick at the very end of the game, given the c Colts their first loss of the season. Tensley would be calling them frauds right now if he was on the podcast. That's true. that is my game of the week. Just a fun game. Some crazy plays in there.
00:07:59
Speaker
so Rams and the Colts. Yep. Okay, my game of the week from the college football world Let's see what you say here.
00:08:10
Speaker
It happened last night. We're going to try... There was a lot of fun games yesterday. um But I'm going to pick... I could. And I'm going to try and mention most of the big ones, I think. I'm picking Oregon-Penn State here.
00:08:22
Speaker
ah This game was not the most entertaining game. It was a very defensive battle. First half ended at 3-3. ah This game just... Everyone struggled to get into the end zone. It really felt just like...
00:08:35
Speaker
ah People were just holding on a little bit. Both defenses playing well. Both offenses struggling to kind of get going. it ended up 30-24 um and double overtime.
00:08:47
Speaker
and ended on an interception by Thienemann from Oregon. ah Drew Aller looked pretty pedestrian in this one, I will say. um a lot of Penn State fans are pretty upset at Drew Aller. I think the the fact that Bo Perbula has looked so good so far for Missouri really makes Penn State fans pretty upset.
00:09:09
Speaker
um Dante Moore had an incredible day. he went 29 for 39, 248 yards, three touchdowns. ah you're going to that all day. That's compared to Drew Aller, who went 14 for 25 for 137 yards, two touchdowns and the game ceiling interception there in overtime.
00:09:29
Speaker
ah So Penn State's offense, honestly, didn't even belong on the field for most of the game. So they had one drive that was pretty successful. And then these scores are inflated a little bit because of overtime.
00:09:40
Speaker
um But I think it was something like 17-17 going into overtime. So it was very low scoring. Not a lot going on there. um There was a huge play of Oregon.
00:09:52
Speaker
A knee like barely skimmed the grass, and it it kind of brought it back from a huge Penn State play because Oregon scored like on the next play. So that was a huge turn of events. I mean, i think the refs probably got it right, but it's a big play.
00:10:07
Speaker
Fun game. i Felt like a playoff type game and a very fun atmosphere in Happy Valley. So it's a very fun game of the week. I'm to shout out some other big ones that happened against some very good teams, but and that one really came down to It was fun game, though. Oregon's playoff chances are like almost 100% now.
00:10:27
Speaker
um Are they really? What's the rest of their schedule look like? I think they play Ohio State, and that's literally the rest of their schedule. is gar
00:10:37
Speaker
Sorry if you're on Oregon's schedule, but... mean, I can read it off for you if you're curious because it's it's pretty laughable, to be honest with you. and like They don't even play Ohio State. Listen to Oregon's schedule.
00:10:48
Speaker
I know you're not you're not a huge college football guy, but... um wanna I want to hear it. Their second biggest game of the year is next week. They play Indiana, who struggled against Iowa. um But after that, they've got Rutgers, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, USC, Washington.
00:11:07
Speaker
That's it. They go to Washington. That's always a fun kind of rivalry game. Oregon-Washington is probably the biggest one. um And then they they host Oregon next week, which i mean that ah or they host Indiana, which will be a big game as well. It's a top 10 matchup.
00:11:22
Speaker
But Indiana is kind of has a pretty good question mark after their performance this week, I think. so All right. um Next category, Mason. We have performance of the week.
00:11:36
Speaker
I'm going to go NFL shocker alert. It's going to one that was a huge college football player. That would be one Ashton Gentile. Finally had his breakthrough game. He's kind of looked subpar.
00:11:50
Speaker
ah Had, ah let's see, I think it was 128 rushing yards. I think I had to update it. Yeah, 128 rushing yards, three total touchdowns, which was all the touchdowns that the Raiders had.
00:12:03
Speaker
ah So basically the whole offense was, ah And yeah, just looks like how he looked when he was in a Boise State uniform. So Ashton Gentry is my player of the week.
00:12:18
Speaker
Love that. I do like that he's 138 rushing yards. Sorry. Wanted to correct that. Wow. Touchdown merchant a little bit, huh? Three touchdowns, three touchdowns, one, one rushing the other two receiving. So he was a majority of their offense. Yeah.
00:12:36
Speaker
Nice.
Football Highlights & Surprises
00:12:37
Speaker
They had 24 points. He scored 21 of them. Kicker scored the other three. Tough. They lost to the Bears in a fun game, right? Yeah, they did.
00:12:48
Speaker
Okay, perform my performance of the week. um This is me kind of trying to lump in a couple games and in one category here. I'm going with overtime in general.
00:12:59
Speaker
Overtime had a huge week. ah There were four games with top 25 teams in them that had went to overtime. That would be the aforementioned Oregon-Penn State game.
00:13:12
Speaker
Also, on Friday night, very fun game, Florida State-Virginia. Do we have do we want to stop here and do a should I rush that?
00:13:23
Speaker
Yes. We've not done one in a couple weeks. Should I rush that? Should I rush that? Yeah. Or should I storm that? um Should I storm that? This is a category where we get to talk about whether or not we feel like the field should have been stormed or not.
00:13:41
Speaker
um Florida State, Virginia. I'm going to say, sure, you can storm the field. I think that was acceptable. The way it happened, not acceptable. I'm very concerned about the future of field storming after this one.
00:13:53
Speaker
If someone had gotten seriously injured, that might be the last field storm we ever see. um But I think everyone kind of came out clean. So shout out to Squirrel White, former volunteer. It was right in the thick of it.
00:14:05
Speaker
Virginia, if you didn't watch it, Virginia literally stormed the field. like before As soon as the play was was dead, they they stormed. and There is like no barrier between the students and the field. It's poverty program type stuff there in Virginia. but They just came straight onto the field and trampled everyone. in stock yeah yeah Even their own players. It was pretty scary, honestly. If you watch it, it's a wonder someone didn't get really, really hurt.
00:14:31
Speaker
um and One of the players didn't. I think there were some students who got hurt. There was, yes. I mean, when you have 50,000 people to sprinting onto the field or whatever. Yeah.
00:14:42
Speaker
Stupid. It only takes one time for this to go horribly wrong. And I know we're probably the only podcast out there anti... ah I think it's just... And it was how that happened was what you said. But also, i do want to point out one thing.
00:14:57
Speaker
There was like four minutes three or four minutes left. And so Virginia had the ball and they were going down the field and everybody was getting ready to storm and they were up, but then they went three and out or maybe a couple of drives and then they had a pun it and they gave time and there was still time left on the clock.
00:15:19
Speaker
So you cannot be getting ready to storm like that. Like they were that close to the, to the end zone ready to do it for like probably an hour because they got ready so long and then not that long, maybe 30 minutes or whatever. Cause then they had the overtimes.
00:15:35
Speaker
Yeah. They were up big at one point. They were up like 20 to three. But they were getting ready that early. You cannot predetermine, you cannot get that ready. And then, Florida state had an amazing drive at the end to go down to tie that. And then it's like, I was really hoping just for them to pull that off.
00:15:51
Speaker
No, it was I'm sorry. Do what? No, wait. Oh shoot. i'm doing my different games. You were correct. I'm sorry. Florida state. No, you're good. Okay. Georgia tech was in another, I'm mixing my two games up.
00:16:02
Speaker
Um, Florida state was that one. Sorry. Yes. Uh, no, you're good. Um, Saturday. Uh, they came down to, uh, force overtime and then i was like rooting for them to beat them so that they could not because they were getting so ready like they had the game locked up and i was like you guys still have to convert a first down and they didn't so that's all i gotta say about that but um fun game let's hope uh that doesn't happen again because we might be looking at the end of field storming
00:16:34
Speaker
And we've gone we've gone over this with court storming and college basketball where there has been injuries and players getting an altercated... It's a much smaller area. Yeah. so I don't have any problem with Virginia.
00:16:48
Speaker
um Like I said, a little bit of a poverty program situation there. um for Storming the field against the top 10 team. That's totally fine with me is how you did it. ah There was a second field storm this weekend. Yeah.
00:17:01
Speaker
This is when you were talking about yeah USC at Illinois. Illinois kicks a game winner at the buzzer and their fans storm the field.
00:17:12
Speaker
um If I am, let me let me check with what this line was before the game started. I'm pretty sure Illinois was favored in this game. um
00:17:24
Speaker
OK, USC was one and a half point favorites going into the game. um I really hate that field storm there by Illinois. You're the home team. You're ranked.
00:17:35
Speaker
Your ranking is very close to each other. This is this is not like a I mean, USC sort of is a powerhouse, but not really lately. i just i think this was a ah very weak field storm. I think, should this field have been stormed?
00:17:50
Speaker
No. no Illinois, act like you've been there a little bit. You got stomped last week by Indiana. I know you feel glad about your win here, but this was not the team to storm the field against. I'm sorry.
00:18:02
Speaker
ahwi you A team beating a 21-ranked team, you cannot storm the field in that situation. I'm sorry. That's horrible. Pretty bad. You brought up Georgia Tech earlier. They won in overtime. You actually took them live.
00:18:19
Speaker
Was that also a storm? okay That was not a field storm. Okay. That's the one that we were watching. yeah um Okay, so yeah, let's let's wrap up this. So that was a little bit of aside there about should that field have been stormed.
00:18:35
Speaker
ah We're still, we're we're workshopping the name of that segment. Kind of like, should I storm that? but I like that. It's a spin off our other segment, should I watch that, that we do about movies and TV.
00:18:47
Speaker
um So in conclusion, Illinois, you should not have stormed that. So there were two other overtime games that happened. Um, it was Florida state, Virginia, Oregon state, Oregon, Penn state. And then you had Tennessee, Mississippi state, a very fun game at Mississippi state, a very fun atmosphere, even though there's lots of cowbells, which I'm still convinced should not be allowed.
00:19:11
Speaker
ah that game came down to the very last bit, uh, ended on, ended in the first overtime whenever a pass was broken up. So, um,
00:19:23
Speaker
that was a very fun overtime game though. Mississippi state played very well. Um, that team is, is much better than preseason expectations. I think I took the, um I'm pretty sure I took the under in total wins for Mississippi state. i think was like three and a half and they've,
00:19:39
Speaker
Blown past that. They already have four wins. So, um, shout out to Mississippi state. I mean, Jeff Levy is kind of putting some stuff together. We're going to talk about some other, um, sec coaches that have not had the same experience this season and are on the opposite trajectory.
00:19:55
Speaker
Um, but Vanderbilt and Mississippi state both have, have had a very, very good start to the season. Um, and so that is my, Yeah, I I'm just going to put that there. I'm going to leave that as my four overtimes as my performance of the week.
00:20:11
Speaker
Love it. Okay, moving on.
00:20:20
Speaker
Okay, moving on to the next category. We have surprise of the week, Mason. Surprise the week. What do you got I'm going to go with the most obvious one here, NFL-wise, and that's going to be, I'm going to give it to the Giants getting their first win against shout out against the Chargers, giving them their first loss.
00:20:40
Speaker
I told you Jackson Dart would rush for a touchdown. ah It's a good thing i took my own advice. Psych, I didn't, ah because he rushed for a touchdown in the first quarter, I'm pretty sure it was like plus 350. He actually rushed quite a bit. like He did a bunch of scrambles and did a lot with his legs.
00:21:00
Speaker
Not too much on the passing side, but it doesn't matter. i Got the win anyways. um I saw yeah i saw like ah somebody posting where they were we're doing a ladder bet where they bet him to do 300 yards. And i was like, I could see that. And then we were like, so it was like but just barely a hundred. And I was like, Oh, but he did a lot with his legs. Um, I do want to bring it and got the win. I do want to bring up a really tough part of this game, uh, which is Malik neighbors tearing his ACL, such an amazing player, fun to watch. Um,
00:21:35
Speaker
ah with an unfortunate injury, so wish the best for him in that situation. Just tough to hear any time a player, especially ACL, never had that injury, but always looks pretty awful to have as a player. yeah So that will be my surprise of the week, Jackson Dart and the giants getting their first win.
00:21:57
Speaker
Titans could never. What is that? Speaking, speaking of Jackson's who are surprise of the week, uh, Jacksonville one today. That was pretty good one. Uh, tens, tens. That was the only message tens wanted us to, uh, give on the podcast today is that, uh, the Jags are back.
00:22:14
Speaker
So, They won, so going to be okay with that today. Shout out to the Jags, I guess. and um We guess. Time for first place, right? In the division?
00:22:27
Speaker
He's pretty entertaining when he watches these gang games because the highs and lows, like he's like, it's over. It's done. It's pretty serious. Yeah, and then they come back and win. i could only imagine ah his excitement, but...
00:22:42
Speaker
Yeah, i'm very chill when I watch sports usually. so Definitely, especially when if you watch the UT Mississippi State game. It's stressful.
00:22:55
Speaker
Okay, so for my surprise of the week, I had a couple of quarterbacks out of the SEC who stepped up in some big-time games and had some really good weeks.
00:23:05
Speaker
First, Trinidad Chambliss from Ole Miss. He has been subbing in for Austin Simmons. All of a sudden, he had a very, very good week, led Ole Miss to the win, and he's proven that he's more than just um a mobile kind of quarterback. He's a real serviceable quarterback.
00:23:24
Speaker
Be on the lookout for him because he has maybe won himself a starting job for the rest of the season. So it's a pretty big surprise. And the second one is Ty Simpson. Had a rough first game against Florida State.
00:23:35
Speaker
Had a very, very good game against Georgia. And it's getting better every week. Ty Simpson went 24 over 38 for yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions against this Georgia team led them to the win. So both those guys, I've been playing very good. and Some surprises out of the sec.
00:23:58
Speaker
um Okay.
Titans' Struggles & Arkansas' Setback
00:24:00
Speaker
Last category, Mason fraud of the week. Hmm. I wonder who it could be.
00:24:10
Speaker
All right. So obviously, everybody's probably tired of hearing Titans talk. So I just want to be short, sweet, and to the point on this one. I'm not even going to talk about ah the fact that we got shut out by the Texans. I'm not going talk about the part that we law have were owned for. I've not won a single game so far.
00:24:28
Speaker
I'm going to talk about the part where if you see any postgame interviews from players or coaches, This is probably the most defeated I've ever seen a whole organization this early into a season.
00:24:41
Speaker
ah There's throwing people under the bus. Cam Ward is basically calling the team fill in the blank. It's getting pretty rough.
00:24:54
Speaker
ah Just overall, the coaches that just does not seem like they they know how to speak into microphone because they're kind of throwing players under their bus or throwing themselves under. It's just a disaster.
00:25:07
Speaker
It doesn't seem like anybody's on the same page. And I've just never but forget about the game. Just look at if you have like time to just kill or waste away.
00:25:18
Speaker
Just look up some of these interviews that are pretty brutal. ah So, yeah, the Titans. It's just a sad situation. Shout out. Yeah, it's pretty bad.
00:25:29
Speaker
Probably the worst team in football by far. I'm not even sure why he's still the coach right now. don't know what the point is. and There's probably some stuff behind the scenes going on makes that makes it need to happen, but it's it's done.
00:25:44
Speaker
He's cooked. Callahan's done. It's over. we it's over OK, my fraud of the week ah is on a similar vein to programs who.
00:25:58
Speaker
I mean, fraudulence, maybe not the word I would use, but they are there are some struggling programs. ah The first one is Arkansas. They were only like four and a half point underdogs against this Notre Dame team.
00:26:11
Speaker
um Someone in my life took Arkansas plus five and a half. And I followed him. That would be tens. ah And Arkansas got crushed by Notre Dame. um They just didn't mean look like they belonged on the same field. And none of them really looked like they wanted to play very hard.
00:26:29
Speaker
ah This Arkansas team is really struggling, and they've lost their head coach. Sam Pittman was fired today, which has been expected. Everyone of knew it was going to happen, um but the way that the game went down today just seemed inevitable. ah They lost to Memphis last week, and they lost Notre Dame.
00:26:48
Speaker
They traveled to Neyland Stadium in two weeks, fun fact. And so he is gone. And the other team is the Kentucky Wildcats got crushed by South Carolina today.
00:27:00
Speaker
Mark Stoops looks like he is on the way out as well. We'll see how long it takes, but two teams um that really just kind of got embarrassed in the sec and looking at some interim coaches entering into the picture. So fun stuff.
00:27:18
Speaker
Those are some good picks there. Thank you, Mason. I appreciate that. ah You got anything else on your heart mind? Nope. I wish.
00:27:30
Speaker
No, no, I don't even want talk about it. I was going to get fired up on the Titans again, but listen, let's just not for the sake of the people. The people maybe. Yeah, I probably all agree with you.
00:27:43
Speaker
Probably.
00:27:45
Speaker
Okay, well, that is our that is our recap pod for the week. Tens will be back with us next week as we move. Oh, we have one more thing, too. Best of the rest, our first loss of the season. Oh, yeah. Butch Jones let me down once again.
00:28:01
Speaker
Could not score any points. This, we we we decided it was going to go over. It did not go over. This team, this this is our first dud we picked of the whole series so far.
00:28:12
Speaker
um Again, leave it to Butch to just blow it He's now one in four Shout out to him. ah He lost to Kennesaw State and ULM in consecutive weeks. so Yikes.
