Ep 1309 - Championship CrimsonCASH


Listen Later

Get ready for "Championship Cash" on Crimson Cash, where Scott and James are here for a gambling show ahead of the National Championship! 

Scott and James discuss the unbelievable run Indiana University has been on. James, an IU football fan since the 1987 Old Oaken Bucket game, admits he was convinced he would see Jesus return before IU ever won a national championship. For both Scott and James, this season's success, which includes getting to and winning a Big Ten title, is far beyond what they ever imagined.

The episode gives shoutouts to sponsors Homefield Apparel and Posh Hotel in Bloomington. Homefield Apparel is sponsoring a live show on Sunday night, so check their socials for details. The Posh Hotel in Bloomington has the "Curt Cignetti Room," which is the place to be if you are coming into Bloomington for the game's festivities.

Scott and James are loving hearing from listeners about their future bets. Scott shares that he has an IU National Championship bet and cashed out on a bet for IU to make the College Football Playoff (CFP). James gave a "Hoosier Hot Streak" pick earlier in the season, telling listeners to bet money on IU to win the national championship at plus 600 odds.

When it comes to the game, the guys are focused on making some gambling money. They dive into the betting odds, including the spread, which started at five and a half and has been bet up to eight and a half, with tickets pouring in on the Hoosiers. They look at historical data showing favorites have not only covered the spread in the last five championship games but have covered in style. The public is heavily on the Hoosiers, with 76% to 78% of the tickets, meaning "Vegas really needs Miami".

James likes the Hoosiers to cover the eight-and-a-half-point spread, predicting the team will "play joyless murder ball and destroy" Miami, breaking their will to live. The conversation also covers:

  • Alternate spreads, with Scott liking IU at minus 13 and a half.
  • Taking IU's third quarter spread at minus one and a half, as IU has "dominated the third quarter this year".
  • Anytime touchdown scorers, with James liking Omar Cooper and Scott liking Nowakowski based on the odds.
  • The importance of the first two drives of the game and how an early pick six could put an "unbelievable amount of doubt in Miami's head"

Scott closes the show by expressing his emotions about seeing his team in a championship, and James notes he's not as nervous as he usually is for games. Scott offers advice for anyone going to Miami: "be early, be ready, be loud, and stay never daunted". Don't miss this one!
