The hosts discuss their DFS picks and strategies for the Friday and Saturday college football games. They go into detail about specific players they are targeting on DraftKings and Underdog Fantasy, explaining their reasoning based on matchups, recent performance, and game script.

For example, they discuss:

• Friday Slate: Baylor Hayes and Granowski at quarterback, Dominic Richardson and Jazz Patterson at running back, and DJ Vaname and Jacob Gil at tight end/wide receiver for the Iowa vs. Rutgers and Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State games.
• Saturday Slate: Tailen Green and Devin Dampier at quarterback, Kavoran Barnes, Mike Washington, and Sutton Smith at running back, and Omega Blake, Evan Mallister, and Cortez Braham at wide receiver for games like Arkansas vs. Memphis, TCU vs. SMU, and Boise State vs. UCF.

They also mention some of their betting leans and overall game predictions, such as expecting a high-scoring game between TCU and SMU, and leaning towards Iowa in the Iowa vs. Rutgers matchup.

The hosts "like" or are heavily invested in several teams for their DFS lineups and betting picks throughout the video:

Friday Slate:

• Iowa: They discuss rostering multiple Iowa players, particularly in the Iowa vs. Rutgers game, and Rob is an Iowa fan.
• Oklahoma State: They are looking at players from Oklahoma State in the Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State game.
• Tulsa: They also consider Tulsa players, specifically for their DFS potential.

Saturday Slate:

• Arkansas: They are targeting multiple players from Arkansas in the Arkansas vs. Memphis game, including Mike Washington at running back and Omega Blake at wide receiver.
• TCU: They are high on the TCU vs. SMU game, expecting a lot of scoring and looking at players like Evan Mallister.
• Clemson: They mention Gideon Davidson as a value play in a game where they expect Clemson to "stomp out" Syracuse.
• Washington State: They are taking Washington State plus points in their game against UCLA, believing last week's performance was an outlier.
• Boise State: They see value in Boise State's Chris Marshall due to his talent and potential against Air Force.
• ECU (East Carolina): They suggest there's value in ECU players, specifically Brock Spalding.
• Miami (FL): They discuss targeting players in the Miami vs. Florida State game, specifically Vernell Brown.

Essentially, they like teams where they see good DFS matchups, potential for high scoring, value plays, or situations where a team might be undervalued.

Yes, they discuss bets throughout the video, primarily in the context of their DFS picks and overall game predictions. Here's a breakdown:

• Friday Slate (Iowa vs. Rutgers): Kobe mentions he "laid the two or two and a half" on Iowa, indicating a spread bet. Rob predicts a final score of 24-13 for Iowa, which implies a bet on the total score or the spread.
• General Betting Strategy: They refer to "betting value" when discussing player picks, meaning they are looking for players whose DFS potential is undervalued compared to their DraftKings price or Underdog Fantasy projections.
• Underdog Fantasy Picks: Their selections on Underdog Fantasy are essentially player prop bets (higher or lower on stats like passing yards, rushing yards, touchdowns). They explicitly state their "higher" or "lower" picks for players like Ky Eeken, Devin Dampier, Katon Fe, and Kevin Jennings.
• Game Predictions: While not always explicit bets, their predictions about which teams will win or cover the spread are directly related to betting. For example:
  • Kobe states he "picked Arizona State to win" against Baylor.
  • Rob expresses belief that Utah will win against Texas Tech.
  • Kobe mentions taking Washington State +20.5.
  • They discuss the likelihood of Clemson dominating Syracuse.

So, while the primary focus is DFS, the underlying logic and many of their explicit statements relate directly to betting on college football games and player props.
