Betting the Playoff Quarterfinals and Bowl Games

·1 hr 24 min·2 clips

Iowa and Vanderbilt sets up as "good on good and bad on bad" in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

The show opens with strength versus strength. Oregon's offense gets matched up with Texas Tech's elite defense right away. Tim Murray frames it as a real betting test, with Adam Burke staying in the regular Monday cohost role. Murray then walks through Oregon's four toughest opponents. Indiana, Iowa, Washington, and Wisconsin are the reference points. Against that group, Oregon was held well below their season averages, finishing around 20 points a game, 300 yards a game, and 4.4 yards per play in those spots. The show also keeps one eye on the wider playoff board. Brett Ciancia is set to join later for previews of all four quarterfinal games. Before that, the show makes room for a Christmas Eve memory. Hawaii came back from 21-0 down in the Hawaii Bowl. Murray admits there was some doubt along the way, but the result still lands as a fun one. After that, the conversation shifts into a Michigan coaching discussion. Kyle Whittingham becomes the center of the debate. The hosts question how his Utah background would carry over to Ann Arbor. They work through recruiting, staff fit, and whether he can build the same kind of success at Michigan. Bryce Underwood staying put is part of the picture, as is the idea of Beck as a possible offensive coordinator. The discussion also touches on the coaching ripple effects across Utah and BYU. The show closes by comparing Michigan's resources and program status to Virginia's and by keeping some skepticism around the hire.
