Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk college football betting for Week 4. Lonte Smith and Dave Essler return with the College Football Edition of the Dream Preview from RJ Bell, riding a perfect 2 and 0 Best Bet week into a loaded Week 4 card. At 0:31 Lonte recaps the run, with Dave still unbeaten on Best Bets and Lonte cashing an outright winner on West Virginia. At 1:51 the show heads to SECU Stadium, where UCLA opened as a 2.5 point favorite at Maryland before the market moved toward the Terrapins and the total dropped from 59.5 to 56.5. At 3:06 Dave weighs the sharp money against the eye test, citing the cross country trip, an Oregon look ahead and the points UCLA allowed to Purdue, and he leans Maryland and the over. At 4:26 Lonte backs Malik Washington, a Maryland pass rush that ranks top 10 nationally in sacks and receiver Chris Durr Jr., while noting the record pace of UCLA running back Wayne Knight. At 5:27 the spotlight turns to Neyland Stadium, where Texas lays 4.5 at Tennessee in a noon kickoff. At 6:54 Dave explains why he refuses to follow the herd onto the Longhorns and why he has never trusted Steve Sarkisian in big spots. At 8:46 Lonte breaks down freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon, a Tennessee ground game averaging 7 yards per carry with 11 rushing touchdowns, and the blitz packages Jim Knowles could throw at Arch Manning, then takes Tennessee plus 5.5 and the under. At 10:49 the crew moves to Athens, where Georgia is laying roughly two touchdowns to Oklahoma. At 12:18 Dave calls the Georgia defense the best in the nation and takes the under, and at 13:16 Lonte explains how the injury to David Stone, a struggling John Mateer and a Sooner run game averaging 3.6 yards per carry point toward a 17 to 13 type of final. At 15:52 the hosts preview Texas A and M at LSU in Tiger Stadium, with Marcel Reed and the Aggies missing key weapons. At 17:47 Dave points to the Aggies allowing Kentucky 7.6 yards per play at home and grabs the LSU team total over, and at 19:37 Lonte sees blowout potential under the lights. At 20:59 the old Pac 12 rivalry arrives at the Coliseum as Oregon lays 3 at USC with a total of 62.5. At 21:44 Dave notes that USC allowed Rutgers 460 yards and Oregon lost at Oklahoma State, and both hosts land on the over, with Lonte planning a live bet on the Trojans. At 26:22 the pair debates whether Oregon can climb back into the playoff race, and Dave admits he would rip up an Oregon national title ticket. At 27:39 Lonte shares the Weekend All Access offer at Pregame.com with promo code PASS20. At 28:31 Dave delivers his Best Bet on Iowa State plus 8.5 at home against an undefeated Utah team that has yet to face a real defense. At 29:33 Lonte fires his Best Bet on Indiana minus 21 against Northwestern, citing Josh Hoover and a defense with back to back shutouts. At 31:19 the show closes with quick hits on Florida against Ole Miss, Boise State at Western Michigan, Wisconsin against Penn State and Minnesota against Washington.
