Live from the VSiN studios.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:20)
Hey guys, you ready to let the dogs out?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:22)
This is door number one.

**Jeff Passan** (1:24)
New high score.

**Adam Rittenberg** (1:25)
What does high score mean? New high score, is that bad?

**Jeff Passan** (1:28)
What does that mean?

**Adam Rittenberg** (1:32)
You get nothing.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:34)
You lose.

**Mitch Moss** (1:36)
Good day, sir.

**Jeff Passan** (1:37)
Here's Mitch Moss and Paulie Howard.

**Dustin Swedelson** (1:40)
Dustin Swedelson in for Paulie Howard this week. By the way, we'll get to our best bets in baseball coming up in about 15 minutes as games are starting this hour. It's funny, we talked about this earlier today with no intentions of this actually being part of door one or door two.
But door number one is Texas to make the playoffs this year, or the semifinals, I'm sorry, a two to one or Oregon to make college revolve semifinals at plus 140 Which one you're going with, Dustin?

**SPEAKER_8** (2:04)
Yeah, it's basically who do you believe is a better big game coach, two guys who have not quite gotten there when it mattered.
I'm taking Oregon, I'm taking Dan Lanning. I just, I don't trust Steve Sarkisian. I'll lean towards the defense. Also lean towards some of the continuity the Ducks have versus Texas. There's a lot of new pieces coming in. I think at the end of the day, if you want a quarterback in the fourth quarter to throw you to a win, I'll take Dante Moore over Arch Manning. Give me the Ducks at plus $1.40.

**Dustin Swedelson** (2:32)
What did you make last year of the film guys during Arch Manning, the tail end of the regular season when it started to look like maybe, here's the uptick coming now from Arch and he's looking a little bit better. They're like, yeah, he's going to be the number one overall pick in the draft.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:47)
Are we sure about that?

**SPEAKER_8** (2:48)
Yeah, they got really excited because he picked apart Vanderbilt. He was good against Arkansas who was left for dead. I mean, you look at the numbers against some of the better defenses, he didn't clear 200 yards only had one passing touchdown against A&M, only threw for 221 against Michigan at the end of the year.
I don't know, man. I think he's good. I understand the hype and I understand there's room for growth. But right now, Dante Moore is the better quarterback.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:16)
By the way, are we sure that Texas is going to make the playoffs?

**SPEAKER_8** (3:19)
You know what? That'd be a fun bet.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:21)
They get Ohio State, they're at Tennessee. Of course, they get Oklahoma neutral.
Florida and Ole Miss are at home.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:29)
A&M at the end.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:30)
At Missouri, at LSU, at A&M.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:32)
I think people are sleeping on A&M just because they made the playoff a year ago and had the dud against the Miami.

**Mitch Moss** (3:36)
They're a very good football team.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:38)
Marcel Reed, they're going to use his legs more this year. They're going to be pretty dangerous offensively as well.

**Dustin Swedelson** (3:44)
As a college football quarterback. I don't know what he's going to be like beyond this year. I have no idea. But in college, the kids are the real deal.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:52)
Yeah, and you know what? I think that's kind of the benefit of A&M. It's like in college basketball. You want to recruit players that are good enough to stay three years and play, but not good enough to jump to the NBA.

**Dustin Swedelson** (4:02)
That's true.

**SPEAKER_8** (4:03)
And win with them. Marcel Reed's kind of in that mold where it's like, he's good enough to be really good at college, but not good enough to leave too early.
