Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Roy, what do we got?

Stanley Cup playoffs tonight, game 2 between the Avalanche and the Wild. Colorado leads 1-0 after a 9-6 victory. That's not gonna happen.

Do you like that 9-6 game? I'm gonna enter that. No, no, too many goals.

The Avalanche have failed to cover the puck line in 7 straight home games following a home win, and the Wild has covered the puck line as underdogs 76% of the time this season. So I'm going with the Wild. They are the underdog at a goal and a half against the spread.

Mike, there's been a money train in the English Premier League. Chelsea have totally checked out on the season. It's been a disaster. The effort's been minimal, and they're getting blown out by bad teams. And they don't play a bad team on Saturday. They play Liverpool. Liverpool, and I expect the money train to keep on rolling by. So I'm taking Liverpool minus a half goal at -125.

You ever seen that movie Money Train? Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes.

Wow, absolutely. We've reviewed it on Cinephobe.

All right, what's Cinephobe?

Cinephobe's podcast where Zach Harper and I watch movies that are poorly rated on Rotten Tomatoes and try to ascertain whether they're accurately rated or maybe they didn't get a fair shake that Cinephobe You get it wherever you get podcasts. It's produced by Anthony Mays.

I don't know if you guys have seen it. I hope that you haven't, so I'm gonna ask here and I'll get a genuine answer. But Lakers and Thunder tonight play Game 1. For those who have not seen the line on the game, would you like to guess what it is? Who would like to take a stab at it, as long as you have not seen what the line is?

I have not. I will guess it is— I know the Lakers are 9-to-1 to win the series, so I'll say that they are +9 in Game 1.

I was gonna say +8.

Jeremy?

I was gonna say +7.5.

Any other guesses?

Yeah, +7.5.

The Lakers are a +15.5 point dog.

Holy crap!

Whoa!

I feel like you guys aren't recognizing just how great the Thunder are.

I'm just—

wow.

That's a huge number, man.

I'm surprised by that. That's a big number.

They are amazing.

No, I know how amazing they are.

Greg's mic on, he's trying to talk and no one seems to hear him. What were you saying, Greg?

I had seen I had seen the point spread, so I didn't want to spoil the punchline, but when I saw the point spread, I almost did a theatrical double take. It's enormous. Especially for a playoff game. Like, that's a regular season point spread where you've got OKC playing against the worst team in the league. That's crazy.

Don't you have to take the Lakers?

Give me the Lakers!

I'm also throwing a ball. I'm going to throw it right back down.

Zazz, pick it up where you, where you started, whatever it was 2 months ago when you declared that the Lakers wouldn't win a playoff game. Obviously that—

maybe I meant this round.

Exactly. Yeah, pick it back up here. Will they win a game this round?

The Lakers will not win a game. They will not win. They will not They will not win a game this round against Oklahoma City.

I mean, will Luka play a game in this series?

Luka Dončić, by the way, my name is Pulitzer Prize winner.

I'm sorry. You're right.

Luka Dončić will play a game in this series.

Just one.

At least one.

Okay.

Over 20 or under points? Not me.

They don't have 20 games left in the season for Luka if he plays. Over.

All right.

Fun.

There you go. Got some good action tonight. Got a couple NBA games. Got a couple NHL games. Let's, let's update polls. I think we got a couple poll questions for today. Jeremy, you want to take the reins there? What do we got?

Does the MLS stand to gain if Lionel Messi took 10 minutes every week to chat with the Big Dog? 73% of the audience says yes.

There you go. How you doing with the ladies?

And is Timothée Chalamet now the number one New York Knicks fan?

Big.

You guys aren't gonna believe this. Never happened before.

Wow.

50% of the audience says no.

Did not see that coming.

Wow.

How you doing on the Olivia Rodrigo presales?

I'm waiting on it.

And what about Zazz equaling, uh, the world's greatest empath? No, wait, who was he like? Swayze? What was the question that we threw at him? I can't remember.

Did you have that conversation in your head?

No, there was something Zazz was throwing on the board. I can't remember what it was.
