    Buckeyes Bye Week Deep Dive: Team Grades, Bengals Woes & National CFB Headlines | The Script
    Sep 17 2025
    On this week’s The Script: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes deliver a packed show that mixes humor, sharp analysis, and plenty of Big Ten insight. The episode opens with a running joke at Dave’s expense as the crew revisits his cold streak at Prime Sportsbook—he can’t seem to hit a parlay, while Cardale and Beanie stay on fire. Should listeners fade Dave’s pick or ride with the hot hands? They break down the numbers and debate their latest betting strategies. From there, it’s all Buckeyes. Ohio State remains undefeated and the nation’s top team, but a sluggish start against in-state Ohio has some wondering if cracks are forming. Cardale and Beanie dissect the first month of the season, grading every unit of the team—quarterbacks, offensive line, secondary, and special teams—to see if it’s truly all scarlet and roses in Columbus. They preview the bye week as a key reset before the looming showdown in Seattle against Washington and offer a full “under the hood” assessment of what the Buckeyes must sharpen to stay on track for a playoff run. The conversation shifts to rising quarterback Julian Sayin, whose development has been a major storyline. The guys analyze his mechanics, decision-making, and leadership, explaining what he needs to do to build momentum as conference play ramps up. Thanks to Buckeye Basement Solutions, the crew dives into the NFL and a huge storyline: the Cincinnati Bengals facing life without superstar quarterback Joe Burrow for the next three months. Should the team roll with Jake Browning, explore a trade, or write off the season entirely after Week 2? Cardale and Beanie give their takes on how the Bengals can stay competitive. College football headlines aren’t ignored. The trio revisits Clemson’s struggles under Dabo Swinney, breaks down another tough outing for Arch Manning, and debates the surprising AP decision to keep Notre Dame ranked despite an 0-2 start against elite opponents—a move that Beanie openly celebrates. To wrap things up, the hosts return to Prime Sportsbook for their weekly parlay segment, each making bold picks and predictions after two straight near-misses. Will Dave finally hit, or is he destined for another heartbreak? Whether you’re a diehard Ohio State fan, a college football junkie, or just here for the laughs and betting banter, this episode delivers everything you need to stay locked in for the Buckeyes’ bye week and beyond. #sports #football #ohiostate Thank you to our sponsors: PRIME SPORTSBOOK: https://www.primesportsbook.com/ Get a 100% deposit match up to $500 by using promo code SCRIPT.

  • Buckeyes Break Out! OSU Dominates NFL, Underwood Struggles, and let's cash another parlay 💰

    Buckeyes Break Out! OSU Dominates NFL, Underwood Struggles, and let's cash another parlay 💰
    Sep 10 2025
    On this week’s episode of The Script: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes dive into everything happening with Ohio State football and the college football world. The guys kick things off with the Buckeyes’ 70-0 win over Grambling State, where sophomore QB Julian Sayin tossed the football all over the field. With the in-state rival Ohio Bobcats coming to Columbus, the test should be tougher. The crew also discusses the Ohio State running backs and who might be ready to emerge as RB1 after the rushing attack bounced back in Week 2. In our Buckeye Basement Solutions segment, we turn to Michigan. Freshman QB Bryce Underwood struggled in his first career road start at Oklahoma. Should Michigan football fans be worried, or is it just part of the growing pains? Later, the focus shifts to the NFL Buckeyes making noise on Sundays. From Ohio State wide receivers dominating fantasy football lineups to Justin Fields looking like the real deal in New York, the Buckeyes’ claim to WRU is as strong as ever. The crew also takes a national look: is USF football for real, and could the Bulls crash the College Football Playoff? Finally, it’s time for this week’s Prime Sportsbook parlay picks after last week’s narrow miss. And as always, Beanie Wells makes sure to represent as the biggest Cleveland Browns fan in America. #sports #football #ohiostate Thank you to our sponsors: PRIME SPORTSBOOK: https://www.primesportsbook.com/ Get a 100% deposit match up to $500 by using promo code SCRIPT.

  • Ohio State Stifles Arch Manning & Texas | CFB Parlay 💰 + Belichick & Alabama Cooked? | The Script

    Ohio State Stifles Arch Manning & Texas | CFB Parlay 💰 + Belichick & Alabama Cooked? | The Script
    Sep 3 2025
    On this week’s episode of The Script: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes break down Ohio State’s statement win over the top-ranked Texas Longhorns. The Buckeyes pulled off a gritty 14–7 victory against Arch Manning and the preseason No. 1 team in the country. The defense impressed, holding Manning in check, but there are still questions about quarterback Julian Sayin’s consistency and the Buckeyes’ struggling run game. The crew shares why they’re confident Sayin will settle in and why the ground attack should bounce back with two favorable matchups ahead in Columbus. The guys also celebrate cashing their Week 1 parlay (thanks to Prime Sportsbook) and unveil a brand-new parlay for this weekend’s college football slate — one that could return nearly 6-to-1. Plus, Dave drops his lock for NFL opening week. Finally, powered by BuckeyeBasementSolutions.com, the crew tries to “fix” Ohio State’s rushing attack and dives into other programs in need of a repair job, including Alabama and North Carolina. And is the Bill Belichick era already nearing its end in Chapel Hill? #sports #football #ohiostate Thank you to our sponsors: PRIME SPORTSBOOK: https://www.primesportsbook.com/ Get a 100% deposit match up to $500 by using promo code SCRIPT.
