00:03 National Championship Week.
00:05 Yeah, basically it is already upon us because it's a Tuesday.
00:08 Next Monday night, they will play for it all.
00:11 And that's going to be the Washington Huskies and the Michigan Wolverines.
00:14 That's going to be live from Houston in a dome, fast track.
00:17 So if you're saying Michigan, they can win anywhere, right?
00:20 We get that.
00:21 But Washington on a fast track in a dome, we're going to have pristine
00:24 passing conditions. Should that help them?
00:27 If we're lining this football game up with the fans of Sportsbook, Joe,
00:29 we see a four and a half point favorite early for the Michigan Wolverines
00:32 and a total listed at fifty five and a half.
00:36 We'll go over some of the details in this game.
00:37 But your first look, Joe, when you got eyes on that line,
00:40 what did you think here?
00:41 Well, the early, which is interesting, too, right?
00:45 So the early look, I believe, was six and a half here
00:49 with Michigan before Washington played a snap there against Texas.
00:54 So it was already we were looking at Washington being,
00:59 you know, disrespected.
01:00 So they were you know, they were a four, four and a half point
01:04 opening dog here, right in their game against Texas.
01:07 And then basically what we had seen before kickoff was the fact that, yeah,
01:11 they were going to be about a six, six and a half, maybe even a touchdown
01:15 underdog against either Alabama or Michigan.
01:18 Now, obviously, people saw what we saw, what we knew
01:22 Washington was capable of, and now it's down to a little more reasonable number.
01:27 But once again, to me, these teams are separated by a field goal.
01:32 The top four teams were all much closer than the market gave them to be here.
01:38 So I think this is going to be fascinating to watch, Donnie, as the week moves on.
01:42 Where does this line move to?
01:45 Does the Washington money come in
01:47 throughout the week here, inching them a little bit closer?
01:51 Or does Michigan money, which it always does and always will.
01:55 It'll it'll flood the marketplace, man, maybe creating even more value,
02:00 I think, on this Washington Huskies team.
