Florida State Seminoles under 9 wins
“[1:34:43] Can DJU not throw the ball down the field or do they have no confidence in him throwing the ball down the field? [1:34:49] There is a combination of both. [1:34:51] But, yeah, it was not a good look for Florida State in my preseason playoff projections. [1:34:56] I did not have Florida State making the playoff. [1:34:59] I actually was playing them under nine win total. [1:35:03] So I'm drinking the Kool-Aid with Miami. [1:35:05] I think Virginia Tech could be a dark horse. [1:35:07] So it really doesn't change my viewpoint of Florida State as far as a playoff team. [1:35:13] I did think, like a lot of people, that they would win this game. [1:35:18] But instead, you know me. [1:35:22] I'm a big analytics guy, Nick. [1:35:24] You know that. [1:35:24] Of course. [1:35:25] I tweeted that no college football team suing to leave its current conference has ever won a season opener in Ireland. [1:35:32] So that stays intact. [1:35:34] That might be the best analytic in the history of analytics, Brett. [1:35:39] And Femi Abebefe, my co-host here on You Better You Bet, saying during the break that at BetMGM, [1:35:44] GJU's Heisman price is now 40-1 and probably needs at least 1-0 now next to that price.”
Florida State finished the 2024 regular season 2-10, staying well under the 9-win total. (Florida State 2024 regular season: 2-10)

Colorado Buffaloes under 5.5 wins
“[1:36:49] but if they can't keep people off of Sanders, their quarterback, [1:36:53] they've got no shot. [1:36:55] I played them under five and a half win total. [1:36:59] I don't think they'll get to six. [1:37:00] I don't think they'll get to a bowl game. [1:37:02] I think they should win this game. [1:37:03] I'm not going to lay 10 with a Colorado team that has, from last year, [1:37:09] or showed no effort defensively, [1:37:12] no way to protect Sanders North Dakota State will come in here They won be intimidated I think they give Colorado a game Ultimately if you going to make me pick a side I going to take the points [1:37:25] because I'm not going to lay that with Colorado. But if they lose this game, man, this season could [1:37:31] really go south for Colorado quickly because this is a game you've got to win out of the gate, [1:37:35] especially with everything going on with, you know, his boycotting of the reporters from the [1:37:41] Denver Post, some different things. [1:37:43] It'll just add more locks to the fire, if you will, [1:37:46] if Colorado stubs their toe against North Dakota State. [1:37:51] Ten seconds for this answer. [1:37:53] Since you mentioned Swiss, what's the best cheese in ten seconds? [1:37:59] I'm a mozzarella guy, but I like pizza.”
