Hey guys, it's King Scott. You know, this summer has been absolutely crazy in my life, and this fall is not gonna slow down at all. I mean, I got the baby coming. It's just been hard to keep that routine that I've loved, and I found myself relying on quick, low quality, gross takeout food way too often, and this is where Factor came in. It completely saved myself and my wife. It makes eating healthy and so effortless, and even while you're running around nonstop, you can get a great meal.

And now a word from our sponsor, Bud Light. There's nothing better than the clean crisp. There's nothing better than the clean crisp.

What if we just got out of here and grab some Bud Lights?

SPEAKER_2 (1:46)

But man, we're on air for four more hours.

Riz (1:48)

I'll figure it out.

SPEAKER_2 (1:49)

Sounds good to me. Anything for the clean, crisp taste of Bud Light.

SPEAKER_1 (1:54)

Stock up now.

SPEAKER_4 (1:55)

Anheuser-Busch Bud Light beer, St. Louis, Missouri.

Riz (2:05)

All right, we are back and this is The Spread Zone. It's Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026, recording noon Central Time. And this, guys, this is one of those weeks where it feels like the season actually starts.

College football hits week four. You know, conference play is here. The September resume games are everywhere. And the NFL is already into week three, where you can't keep saying it's early, because and 3 is a real thing.

All right, our goal here is to make you money. My name is Riz, that's Tim McKern, and that's Anthony Stalter.

Fela is this week four slate for college football. It's not pretty good, guys. I'm thinking bangers only. Yeah. I'm thinking this is bangers only. Listen, we got scenes. We got Waco, Texas. We got Colorado at Baylor at 11 o'clock Central Time, sunblazing, the big 12 chaos. A 10-point dog could look real live. You got Gainesville, Florida, Ole Miss at Florida, 2.3 Central Time at ABC. The swamp is going to be feral. Then you got LA, Oregon at USC in the Coliseum at night on NBC. That's Hollywood Lights, Big Ten Pressure, and a scoreboard that I think might need a few extra batteries. Ooh. Okay. Okay, a little tease there.

Anthony Stalter (3:20)

I hear an over coming up.

Riz (3:22)

And then the NFL, we've got travel, we've got quarterback injuries shaking up the board. We got the first ever NFL game in Rio this weekend.

So we'll start with college football, we'll move to the NFL and we'll play our locks of the week. So let's start with the college slate.

Anthony Stalter (3:39)

Tim, I know we were off last week, but how did we do the week priority of states?

Tim McKern (3:43)

I believe that the spreadsheet is here.

Anthony Stalter (3:46)

I'm just wondering. That's all right.

SPEAKER_4 (3:47)

I didn't mean to jump ahead.

Anthony Stalter (3:48)

And you know what? This could be bad, because I really have forgotten.

Tim McKern (3:50)

We held ourselves to account.

Riz (3:53)

I know mine's real bad, so that's why I was trying to forget it.

Anthony Stalter (3:56)

I might be over eight.

Tim McKern (3:57)

So two weeks ago, Anthony, you went, let's see, overall two and five?

Anthony Stalter (4:08)

Good.

Tim McKern (4:10)

No, I apologize, five and two.

Anthony Stalter (4:12)

That's different.

Tim McKern (4:13)

Five and two.

Anthony Stalter (4:13)

Boy, that never happens.

Tim McKern (4:15)

Five and two.

Anthony Stalter (4:16)

You think you're two and five, and it wound up being five and two.

Tim McKern (4:18)

I went four and three, Riz went two and five. Yes, I know.

Anthony Stalter (4:22)

I apologize.

Tim McKern (4:23)

Now, we didn't do one last week, but I feel an obligation, because I do follow college football, and I'm priding myself, especially if the record's good. If the record's bad, I'm gonna just act like nothing's happening. That's the way to handle it. I gave you last week, now I did this on my show and then my separate podcast, Oregon Portland State. I don't know if you happened to catch that game by chance, boys.
