    Love you guys! Possibly my favorite people to listen to every week. This week, however, you were the 3 Bears: Randy’s volume was very quiet, John’s was very loud and of course Bill’s was just right lol

Q: Why don't you focus on betting totals in college basketball as much as you do for spread lines?
