Washington Huskies (12) Hosts Arizona State Sun Devils

Washington Huskies Football

Washington Huskies Looking for Revenge From Last Year



The fans at Husky Stadium will see the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Washington Huskies on Saturday night. This Pac-12 clash will be televised by ESPN. Kickoff is set for 10:30 pm EST.

Oddsmakers have the Huskies listed as 18-point favorites. The total is at 52.5.

Arizona State recorded a memorable upset of Washington last season. The 12th-ranked Huskies will be looking to exact some payback Saturday night in Pac-12 play.

Washington was 6-0 and a 17-point road favorite when it was handed a crushing 13-7 setback last October. The loss all but doused its College Football Playoff hopes.

The Huskies opened Pac-12 play with a win over Utah last Saturday.  The Sun Devils are looking to bounce back from a loss to San Diego State. They play their first Pac-12 game under first-year coach Herm Edwards.

Arizona State Trying to Make Some Noise Through the Air



The Sun Devils are 2-1 overall, and 0-0 in Pac-12 play. Senior quarterback Manny Wilkins has recorded back-to-back 300-yard passing outings. He has thrown for 958 yards and seven touchdowns with only two interceptions.

Standout junior wideout N'Keal Harry has 21 catches for 315 yards and four touchdowns. He ranks fifth in school history with 161 receptions.

Senior safety Jalen Harvey had a career-best 13 tackles against San Diego State. He leads a unit allowing 16 points per game with 25 stops. Junior defensive end Darius Slade has a team-high 2.5 sacks. He is hoping to return from a hand injury that caused him to miss the loss to the Aztecs.

The Sun Devils allowed 311 rushing yards in the loss to San Diego State.

Arizona State has won 11 of the past 12 meetings and holds a 19-16 lead in the series.

Huskies Have to Get Browning on Track



Washington is 2-1 overall to start the season, and 1-0 in Pac-12 play. Senior quarterback Jake Browning was held to 139 passing yards in last year's loss to the Sun Devils. He's thrown the same number of touchdowns and interceptions (four) this season while passing for 764 yards.

Senior running back Myles Gaskin has rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns. He is coming off his best effort of the season after rushing for 143 yards and a score on 30 carries against the Utes.

WR Aaron Fuller has 19 receptions and 317 yards this season. He has two 100-yard receiving outings and caught at least six passes in each game.

The Huskies allow just 10.3 points per game. Senior linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven has a team-best 33 tackles. Junior safety Taylor Rapp has team highs of three sacks and three fumble recoveries to lead the charge on defense.

PREDICTION: Washington 26, Arizona State 17

NFL Futures - Super Bowl LIII Winner - NFL Week 3

Super Bowl LIII

By: The Frisco Kid

NFL Futures, Early Super Bowl LIII Winner & a NFL Week 3 Preview



Before we get into the early pick to win Super Bowl LIII let dabble into a couple of other things.

NFL futures continue to update as the season progresses. If you fancy yourself a NFL prognosticator, there is some great value to be had. Sure, there are a ton of factors to consider. It can include present play to unforeseen injuries to schedule, and many other things.

By looking into your crystal ball, profiting on the Super Bowl LIII winner is a real possibility at this time. Lets take a look at where you can find some value and see where the numbers are heading into Week 3.

Los Angeles Rams +500



At +500, the Rams are currently the favorite to win the Super Bowl. The Rams started the season with a 33-13 win in Oakland on Monday Night Football. They then destroyed the Cardinals 34-0 in Week 2. That is only the beginning as there are many reasons to be all in on the Rams.

Football Betting three Weeks in – A Quick Maintenance Check

Although it is a small sample size, the Rams are currently 3rd on overall defense and 9th in overall offense. They have a lot of team depth unless the injury bug hits.

With a ground game led by Todd Gurley, and a talented wide receiver core with big play ability, the Rams will be able to score with the best of them. Brandin Cooks leads the team with 12 receptions for 246 yards. That is good for an average of 20.5 yards per catch.

Not only can their offense move the ball, but they are as deep as any team on the defensive side of the ball. Super Bowl LIII Odds at +500 is not providing much value.

BUT at this point in the 2018 National Football League season, the Los Angeles Rams are a good bet to be representing the NFC in this year’s Super Bowl.

New England Patriots +600



Even with the Patriots Week 2 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, New England is still the second favorite to win the Super Bowl. They are also the favorite to win the AFC at +250.

Oddsmakers take everything into account. With Edelman returning from his 4-week suspension and the addition of Josh Gordon, watching the Pats rise up the power rankings is a near given.

What is a Pay Per Head | What do they offer | How does it Work?

The Pats are 25th in total team defense. They are giving up the 27th most rushing yards per game and 23rd amount of passing yards per game. Knowing Coach Bill, he will find a way to right the ship. I am fading the Pats in this futures category for now.

Jacksonville Jaguars +850



Right now, the Jags are my favorite to win the AFC. With Odds at +850 I think they are providing some nice value. The Jags are the Rams of the AFC. They have a deep, athletic defense and an offense that is improving.

Vegas Odds vs. Offshore Odds, What's Better, What's the Difference?

The Jags’ win last week against the Pats, happened without their star running back. Leonard Fournette is questionable to play in Week 3 versus the Titans due to a hamstring injury. It will be a surprise if he doesn’t suit up, but the point is they got it done without him.

The Pats put the game in Blake Bortles’ hands and he ran with it. He threw for almost 400 yards with 4 TDs. Bortles added another 35 yards on the ground on 6 carries.

If the Jags keep getting production from all over the defense they will prosper. Keelan Cole should continue to improve as a receiver and get better. There is no reason to think they will regress from their AFC Championship appearance last season.

Philadelphia Eagles +1150



I could not leave the Eagles off a list that was talking about Super Bowl LIII futures value. Only two short weeks ago the Eagles were a the top of most power rankings. That was mostly by default as returning champs.

Understanding Your Online Sportsbook’s Juice on NFL Games

They are currently 5th in ESPN’s power rankings, and 6th on the Super Bowl odds list at +1150. It’s true the Eagles offense has been hit early by injuries. With Carson Wentz now back under center, the sky is the limit for this team because of their defense.

This Eagle's front 7 can get after the QB like few teams can. They have a rotation unlike any other in football. A deep run into the playoffs is very achievable again this season.

Getting $1150 on a $100 bet on the Eagles to repeat as Super Bowl champs is perhaps the best value on the board. They need a healthy Alshon Jeffery and Jay Ajayi after putting Mike Wallace on the IR. The addition of Wentz’s old buddy Jordan Matthews should add a spark.

It could be time to get onboard the Eagles train now. When they rattle off a couple wins, they will bring that value down with them.

Here are all the current odds to win Super Bowl LIII:



Los Angeles Rams                                 +500

New England Patriots                          +600

Jacksonville Jaguars                             +850

Texas A&M Aggies



Quarterback Kellen Mond ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third to lead Texas A&M to a 48-10 home win against Louisiana Monroe last week. Mond completed 16 of his 24 passes for 210 yards. He was second on the team with 67 rushing yards to help the Aggies improve to 2-1.

Running back Trayveon Williams finished with 128 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Texas A&M compiled 281 yards and four touchdowns on the ground and limited Louisiana Monroe to just 328 yards of total offense.

Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama  is coming off a 62-7 beat-down at Ole Miss. The defense didn't panic after giving up a 75-yard touchdown pass on the game's opening play. Instead they turned up the intensity and shut down Ole Miss for the rest of the game. 

Tua Tagovailoa completed 11 of 15 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 47 yards on five carries. Jalen Hurts was 7-for-10 for 85 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He added 20 yards on the ground.

College Football Trends:



The Texas A&M Aggies are:

4-0 ATS in their last four games overall

20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 games in September

4-1 ATS in their last five road games

5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win

5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS win

 

The Alabama Crimson Tide are: 



4-9 ATS in their last 13 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game

1-4 ATS in their last five conference games

1-4 ATS in their last five home games against a team with a winning road record

1-4 ATS in their last five games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game

1-5 ATS in their last six games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game

Kellen Mond has the ability to make plays and put points on the board. Texas A&M has enough playmakers on the outside to keep this game from being a blowout. Alabama will win but take Texas A&M to cover the spread.

Cleveland Browns Football

Don't Faint -- The Cleveland Browns are Favorites in Primetime



The New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns will meet on Thursday Night Football tonight.  They are the NFL Week 3 Primetime matchup. FirstEnergy Stadium will host the contest. NBC and NFL Network will have coverage starting at 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Browns as -3.5-point favorites versus the Jets, while the game's total opened at 40. The line is now Cleveland as 3-point favorites and the total is 41.

The Cleveland Browns find themselves in an unfamiliar place. They have continually discovered painful - and often creative - ways to escape without a victory. This has dated back to the 2016 season.

The beleaguered Browns are winless in their last 19 games (0-18-1). Tonight they find themselves as the favored team at home for the first time since 2015.

Cleveland Was Almost a Winner Last Week



Zane Gonzalez misfired on his second field-goal attempt, and fourth overall in the waning seconds of Sunday's 21-18 loss at New Orleans. Gonzalez was cut in favor of former Miami castoff Greg Joseph on Monday.

The Browns also traded troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon to New England for a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The top overall selection, Baker Mayfield, remains on the bench in Cleveland.

Carlos Hyde has scored a touchdown in four straight games dating to last season. He rushed for career-high 193 yards while reeling in a scoring strike in his only career meeting versus the Jets.

Jets May Have a Winner in Darnold



The Jets are 1-1 to start the 2018 season. No. 3 pick Sam Darnold became the youngest NFL player to eclipse 300 yards in a game in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Dolphins. This kid has proven he has the talent. Now the question is can that talent translate to wins.

Quincy Enunwa has proven to be Darnold's most trusted target with 13 receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown. Former Browns wideout/quarterback Terrelle Pryor had four catches for 84 yards versus Lions.

Isaiah Crowell spent four seasons in Cleveland and will want to play well tonight. He answered a 102-yard, two-touchdown performance in his team's 48-17 rout of Detroit on Sept. 10 by being held to just 35 yards on Sunday.

Marcus Maye is not expected to play as he nurses a foot injury. He recorded his first career interception in his team's 17-14 win over Cleveland last season.

PREDICTION: Jets 20, Browns 16

Stanek pitches an inning of relief on Tuesday



Ryne Stanek (2-3, 2.49 ERA, 1.06 WHIP) threw a perfect ninth inning in a 4-0 win against the Rangers on Tuesday. He recorded one strikeout. Stanek has been unhittable lately. He has thrown six scoreless innings in eight appearances (four starts) since August 31.

The Rays have scored 659 runs (19th in the majors). They are putting up 4.36 runs per game (18th), hitting .260 (2nd) with 141 home runs (27th).

Tampa Bay ranks 3rd with a 3.59 ERA, 3rd with a 1.18 WHIP and 12th with 1314 strikeouts. Their bullpen ranks 10th with a 3.61 ERA.

C.J. Cron leads the Rays with 27 home runs and 65 RBI. Jake Bauers has 11 home runs and 46 RBI.

Gaviglio runs into trouble in Boston



Sam Gaviglio (3-8, 5.25 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) gave up two earned runs on six hits (one home run) in his last outing. He had a walk with a strikeout over just 3 1/3 innings to get a no-decision in a 4-3 loss against the Red Sox last Thursday.

Gaviglio is 0-1 with an 8.22 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP in his last two starts.

The Blue Jays have scored 669 runs (17th in the majors). They are putting up 4.40 runs per game (17th), hitting .244 (20th) with 201 home runs (5th).

Toronto ranks 26th with a 4.82 ERA, 26th with a 1.40 WHIP and 21st with 1222 strikeouts. Their bullpen ranks 21st with a 4.37 ERA.

MLB Trends:



The Tampa Bay Rays are:

23-6 in their last 29 games against a right-handed starter

16-5 in their last 21 games against a team with a losing record

39-13 in their last 52 when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game

40-16 in their last 56 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game

36-17 in their last 53 overall

5-0 in Stanek's last five starts when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game

5-0 in Stanek's last five starts against a team with a losing record

6-0 in Stanek's last six starts on astroturf

5-1 in Stanek's last six starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game

4-0 in Stanek's last four starts against the Blue Jays

7-2 in the last nine meetings

The Toronto Blue Jays are: 



3-7 in their last 10 home games following a road trip of seven or more days

7-21 in their last 28 games against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15

4-14 in their last 18 Thursday games

1-8 in Gaviglio's last nine starts

0-7 in Gaviglio's last seven starts against a team with a winning record.

The Rays are red-hot. They're the better team, by far. Ryne Stanek has done a great job limiting opponents from putting runs on the board in the first inning.  He keeps the runs down before handing the ball off to the rest of the bullpen.

Stanek hasn't given up an earned run in six innings over his last eight appearances (four starts). Sam Gaviglio is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA and a 1.83 WHIP in two starts against the Rays this season.

NFL Week 3 Lines to Watch

NFL Week 3

By: The Frisco Kid

NFL Week 3 has Some Interesting Lines to Watch



There have been some significant early line movements for NFL Week 3. Finding out the reason could net solid profits. Nothing is a given in sports betting, but early movement is usually a sign of big money. Here are three games to keep an eye on leading up to kickoff this week.

New York Giants at Houston Texans | Open: HOU -3 | Current: HOU -6.5



This one opened Sunday evening at -3, -3.5 at a couple books. It was quickly bet up to -6 on Monday morning. That accounts for the biggest line move this week to this point. It can be found offshore at 6.5.

Such a move is most likely due to the one-dimensional offense that had trouble moving the ball. Add in an offense line that could not keep the Cowboys off Eli, you have trouble.

Understanding Your Online Sportsbook’s Juice on NFL Games

It didn’t seem to matter to some bettors that the Texans lost to the Titans earlier on Sunday. This is the same Titan team that lost to the Dolphins in Week 1. I am going to keep an eye on this.

Remember that a ton of betting capital comes out of NYC. Angry fans could have thrown the bank against the Giants in a fit of rage. Let’s see how the public plays this one closer to kickoff.

Dallas Cowboys at Seattle Seahawks | Open: SEA -3 | Current: SEA -1.5



Around 7 PM on Sunday, the Seahawks opened as a 3-point home favorite. It stayed that way until some big money moved in on the Cowboys around 10 AM on Tuesday. The money shifted it to -1, but has settled at 1.5. It can be found in Vegas at PK if you look hard enough.

Reason for this move is two-fold. The reciprocal of the Giants as one. The Cowboys nearly dominating the Giants o-line is major. The Seahawks trending down after suffering a 24-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Vegas Odds vs. Offshore Odds, What's Better, What's the Difference?

The Seahawks are hurting right now. They are playing without some key players. One of the league’s best defensive players in LB Bobby Wagner, their best receiver Doug Baldwin as well as two guards, 2 safeties and another linebacker. It is hard to produce with those key losses.

Russell Wilson is one of the best, but even he can’t will this team in its current state.

Who are the Cowboys is my biggest question right now. We have a good idea who the Seahawks are. Dallas lost Week 1 in Carolina 16-8. Then Dak Prescott threw for only 160 yards and 6.4 yards per completion this past Sunday against the Giants.

The Boys did muster 138 yards rushing on 25 attempts, only 17 of which from Zeke Elliott.

Making Your Online Sports Betting Site Work for You

Watch for reports out of Seattle later in the week to see if Wagner and company are practicing. It will affect their availability for Sunday’s matchup.

Seattle is a proud team that have a QB that knows how to win games.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Open: PIT -2.5 | Current: PIT -1



Fitzmagic mania has moved itself into the sports betting world it would seem. OR is this line movement due more to Antonio Brown’s antics to start the week?

The script is flipped on these two teams. The Steelers are 0-2, losing both games as the heavy favorite. The Bucs are 2-0, winning both as the heavy dog.

How to Handicap NFL Football Games

Not having Le’Veon Bell has to be hurting the Steelers offense. James Conner has filled in admirably, but it is not the same. Perhaps the biggest problem facing Pittsburgh is their defense. It’s normally a given that the Steelers will have a strong defense, but this year is looking like the contrary.

After allowing 21 points to the Browns and 42 last week to KC, including 6 Pat Mahomes passing TDs,you have to wonder.

AB was seen sulking on the sidelines during the game, then didn’t show up to team facilities on Monday, sparking trade talk. The Steelers will never trade Brown, but he’s a diva and the team needs to keep him happy and quiet.

How to Read Sports Betting Odds

If the Buccaneers can keep spinning the magic and send the Steelers to 0-3 it will make some waves. The Bucs go to 3-0 that will be another surprise. You never know what can happen next week, so stay tuned. We all watch the NFL for Sunday games and its continuous drama.

There you have the three biggest early line movements for Week 3 of the 2018 NFL season. Stay tuned as we get closer to game time with all the news, notes and information you need to beat the bookie.
