Circa Friday Football Invitational | September 11, 2026 | Hour 3

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are. College football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and Alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano-hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of. So it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, all nicotine free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.

Right now, Loreen is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buyloreen.com/college.

Look who's back. He's back from Thailand. He's back from the Circus Friday Football Invitational. Scott Pritchard, Las Vegas Pro Better. Great to see you tonight, Scotty P.

Scott Pritchard (2:10)

Good to be back, Matt.

Matt Youmans (2:12)

That's all you got to say.

Scott Pritchard (2:14)

I'm a man of few words.

Matt Youmans (2:15)

Actually, you talk a lot, except when you're watching games on Sunday afternoons and you put your headphones on, you don't like to be bothered.

Scott Pritchard (2:22)

The noise cancellation, headphones, I need to focus.

Matt Youmans (2:27)

Scott, you've got a great track record in this contest, obviously, and you remind me of that all the time, which is why we invited you back this year.

But you've been very successful in this contest in the past and you're so successful it's better you get kicked out of sportsbooks around town, you get limited, you're told you can make one bet a day. I've seen, you're off to a good start here to the NFL season as well.

Scott Pritchard (2:51)

Yeah, so far so good. Seattle Moneyline minus a buck 70 the other night. And then I missed the Niners plus four. I was annoyed because it was there in the morning. I waited and waited and waited so much for good things happen to those who wait. The good news is I played second half under 24 flat minus 110, winner winner steak and lobster dinner. And then I played under 41 and a half plus 220 and under 55 and a half minus 270 So all that cashed. And the San Francisco 49ers, they're not a one and done team. This team is legit.

Matt Youmans (3:25)

And all that's a fact because you showed me the tickets. I saw the tickets, so no bull.

Scott Pritchard, 2025-2023 Circa Friday Football Invitational third place finisher. You also have a sixth place finish in this contest. And you made a deep run in Survivor a year ago. What do you do in the football contest this season? How many entries do you have around town?

Scott Pritchard (3:46)

Well, for Circa, millions. In fact, I had the Niners plus four in two of my entries, but I maxed out ten entries for millions for the first time. And then Circa Survivor, ten entries. Man, oh man, you know, you mentioned it. A lot of us were bumped, knocked out Thanksgiving last year. I think that's what hit you as well when All Four Favorites fell out, but ultimately I had it mapped out. I ended up going 18 in two, 20 in O gets you about $4 million.

So close, but yet so far away. Westgate Survivor, we had 111 contestants and I finished 17 in one, made it to the final day, and that would have paid $535,000. But in essence, I got squat.

Matt Youmans (4:27)

You spent the summer in Thailand. Recharge, you ready to go?

Scott Pritchard (4:31)

Decompress, chill, relax 13 times in Thailand. It's great, $6 massages, great food, hospitality of the people. Too much is not enough.

Matt Youmans (4:43)

Hey, let's get serious here for a moment. The field of 25 handicappers here in the Circuit Friday Football Invitational does not include Chris Piper. And our friend Chris Piper passed away in April 2021, Circuit Survivor Co-Champ, pro better from Las Vegas. He finished fifth in this contest in 2023, also competed last year.
