This is VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. This is VSiN's College Football Tailgate Show, only on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

Tim Murray (1:20)

Yes indeed it is, live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas. I'm Tim Murray, thanks to all of you for tuning in. Every Saturday you could watch this show, Multitude of Ways, YouTube TV, vsin.com, the VSiN Watch app, also Marquee Network in Chicago, Masson in the nation's capital, Nesson Plus up there in New England. You can always listen to us 24-7, 365 Sirius XM, Channel 189, and many of our great affiliates across the country. Coming up in 15 minutes, who better to break down Indiana and Ohio State than Wes Reynolds? He's got some other best bets as well. And then the professor, it's what we call him here on the show, Chuck Esposito. What is the most lopsided ticket count of week seven so far at Stations Casino, and how are these games being bet? Speaking of which, Notre Dame BYU, I just had to check it over the shoulder for myself. We have seen some sharp money on BYU. This number has come down. The hook is gone here at Circa, so take that for what you will. There certainly is some support in the betting market for the BYU Cougars here at Circa, as the number is sitting at 10 But I want to run through games in chronological order, as we have so many big ones, and let's just run through them as fast as we can. Ohio State in Indiana, top five matchup. Inside Bloomington Memorial Stadium, we've got Julian Sayen and Jeremiah Smith going up against Josh Hoover and Charlie Becker.

Nick Marsh, Turbo Richard couldn't ask for better. We have seen market movement here on Indiana. Two and a half starting to show up. DraftKings, FanDuel, a handful of other spots, BetMGM, all getting picked off the three.

Circus still hangs out at three there, and Indiana getting some support, at least from the wise guys. That said, have we seen support from the betting public? We'll get more of an answer on that coming up at the bottom of the hour. We just talked to Ian Fitzsimmons, Florida and Texas. This game will kick off noon Eastern, ABC at DKR, Darryl K. Royal Stadium down there in Austin. No Aaron Filo for Florida. No Duke Wilson for Florida. Jaden Ball, he's been the stud for that running attack, but Texas, as you heard from Ian, locked in best practice of the year, according to their coaching staff earlier this week. So does that mean a cover is coming for Texas? Let's hear from their quarterback, Arch Manning, as he has heard plenty of criticism, especially after last week.

Arch Manning (4:00)

Just being able to move forward and flip the page and learn from it and get better. That's all you can do. Replan in your head and thinking about what could have done this, that and the other.

You just got to learn from it and move forward and put your best foot forward.

SPEAKER_6 (4:13)

How tough is it to flip that page for young people who are so competitive?

Arch Manning (4:18)

It's tough. It was a long Sunday, but ultimately, you're going to get faced with adversity in life and in football.

It's about how you bounce back. I'm very excited. Obviously, it's a new coach. They got some new players, but it left a bad taste in my mouth last year.

Tim Murray (4:34)

Tramell Jones once again will be the starter today for Florida, Aaron Filo.

His status, according to Pete Thamel, will be determined at warmups. We heard from Ian Fitzsimmons, he mentioned that it could be an emergency type of quarterback situation. Right now, the Florida Gators, double-digit underdogs on the road at Texas today. The Bear, Chris Felica, mentioned this as a play for him in the Circa Friday Football Invitational. Running in chronological order for top 25 matchups, we've got Mississippi State at LSU, no Super Camario. So big-time loss there for Mississippi State. A guy that at once upon a time, we were talking about, maybe as a Heisman candidate, he is going to be out here for this game, which is just a massive blow for the upset opportunity here. And how angry is LSU after losing yesterday or last week to Kentucky? So once again, big loss here. This will be the Stormy game. She will be on the sidelines for this one.
