·1 hr 36 min·5 clips

Ryan and David reveal they're picking every Big Ten team's season win total over/under after returning from Las Vegas.

This episode features hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods, both from 24/7 Sports Network sites, analyzing over/under season win totals for every Big Ten football team. They base their picks on schedules, roster changes, and insights from their recent trip to Las Vegas. The hosts begin with Purdue, noting its new coach Barry Odom and a brutal schedule after two likely non-conference wins. Ryan Abraham takes the over on Purdue's 2.5 total, while David Woods picks the under. For Northwestern's 3.5 total, both hosts lean over, citing winnable games against Western Illinois and Louisiana Monroe. They discuss Maryland's 4.5 total and its true freshman quarterback Malik Washington, with both predicting an under due to a tough conference slate. Rutgers' 5.5 total leads to a split pick, with Woods taking the under and Abraham choosing the over based on the team's returning experience. UCLA's 5.5 total creates another split; Abraham forecasts a 6-6 season and takes the over, while Woods predicts another 5-7 year and selects the under. Both hosts pick the under for Michigan State's 5.5 total, questioning quarterback Aidan Chiles' turnover issues despite coach Jonathan Smith's presence. They unanimously pick the under for Wisconsin's 5.5 total, citing an extremely difficult schedule featuring Alabama, Michigan, and Ohio State. For Minnesota's 6.5 total, both hosts confidently pick the over, seeing a manageable path to seven wins outside of road games at Ohio State and Oregon. The hosts frequently reference analyst Bill Connelly's win projections, sometimes agreeing and sometimes disagreeing with his numbers. A memorable moment involves correcting the Big Ten's official schedule, which mistakenly listed a Michigan State home game against UCLA in Pasadena. The tone is casual and humorous, filled with inside jokes and playful ribbing between the co-hosts. This episode is conversational and opinion-driven, structured around a straightforward gambling premise. Big Ten football fans and bettors seeking preseason analysis and entertaining banter will enjoy this episode. Listeners preferring deep X's and O's breakdowns or objective reporting might find it too light.
