3rd Ranked Clemson Travels to #14 Louisville on ABC

Clemson Tigers Football

Clemson Road Fave in ACC Clash


The fans at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium will be treated to an early season ACC clash. The 3rd-ranked Clemson Tigers and the 14th-ranked Louisville Cardinals battle on ABC on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for a few minutes after 8 pm EST.

The three previous games between the teams has been decided by six points or less. All have gone down to the final play. Clemson has won them all.

Oddsmakers have Clemson as a 3-point road favorite. The total has risen to 61 after opening at 58.

Clemson won its last outing, a 14-6 result against the Auburn Tigers on September 09. Clemson covered in that game as a -6-point favorite, while the 20 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

The key for Clemson will be containing Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. He is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. Jackson has been impressive in early wins against Purdue and North Carolina. The QB is averaging 505 yards per game, including 385.5 yards passing.

Louisville Looking for Statement


Last time out for Louisville, they were a 47-35 winner as they battled North Carolina Tar Heels on the road. Louisville earned a push in the match as a -12-point favorite, while 82 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Last Saturday Lamar Jackson became only the second player in FBS history to have at least 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in consecutive games. Jackson's 525 yards of total offense were the most ever allowed by the Tar Heels.

In Louisville's 42-36 loss last year at Clemson, Jackson almost single-handedly lifted Louisville to victory. He totaled 457 yards and accounted for four touchdowns. The game that wasn't decided until Louisville came up one yard shy of a first down at the Clemson 3-yard line in the final seconds.

11th Ranked Oklahoma State Travels to South Alabama

Oklahoma State Football

Oklahoma State Looks to Avoid Letdown


The fans at Ladd Peebles Stadium will be treated to a game between the 11th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the South Alabama Jaguars on Friday. ESPN2 will air the game nationally. Kick-off is set for a few minutes after 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Cowboys as -26.5-point favorites versus the Jaguars, while the game's total opened at 66. The line is now Oklahoma State -28-points while the total has risen to 69.

Jaguars Need to Improve on Defense


South Alabama lost its last outing, a 47-27 result against the Ole Miss Rebels on September 02. South Alabama covered in that game as a +22.5-point underdog, while the 74 combined points took the game OVER the total.

The Jaguars surrendered too many big plays to Ole Miss wideouts. This included two of 70-yards-plus for scores. Rebels quarterback Shea Patterson completed 28 of 35 passes for 429 yards and four touchdowns.

Oklahoma State had Balanced Attack


Oklahoma State was a 59-24 winner in its last match at home against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. They covered the -20-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 83 sent OVER bettors to the payout window. The Cowboys had a balanced offense that feasted on big plays.

The Cowboys averaged a first down per snap against the Golden Hurricane. They averaged 10.2 yards a play. That huge average produced seven plays of 32 yards or longer. Touchdown passes from Mason Rudolph highlighted the onslaught. The passes covered 77 and 40 yards to James Washington and 44 to Tyron Johnson.

Oklahoma State is 15-1 all-time against teams from the Sun Belt Conference. The loss at Troy, that inspired the, "I'm a man, I'm 40", rant remains attached to Mike Gundy and the program. With the 10-year anniversary of "The Rant" coming up on Sept. 22, expect the crowd to give them some business.

UFC 215 Odds: Can Anyone Stop Mighty Mouse?

UFC 215

Johnson Heavy Favorite at UFC 215


Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson is the No. 1-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world. But as a Flyweight, he doesn’t get the attention his skills merit. Johnson (26-2-1 lifetime, 14-1-1 UFC) will defend his title for the 11th time this Saturday when he faces Ray Borg (12-2 lifetime, 6-2 UFC) in the main event of UFC 215, live from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.

Bet on MMA at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

Johnson has only lost once since making his UFC debut in 2011, and that was in his very first fight against Dominick Cruz, which was for the Bantamweight title. Few people expect Mighty Mouse to lose this one, either; he’s a –1000 favorite at press time, up from –900 at the open. Borg, aka “The Tazmexican Devil,” is a rising star with the Jackson Wink team, but he also missed weight twice in his last three fights, and dropped a clear unanimous decision to Justin Scoggins (+147) in the third.

Saturday’s co-main event is a Women’s Bantamweight title match between champion Amanda Nunes and challenger Valentina Shevchenko (–135). This match was supposed to be the main event at UFC 213, but Nunes pulled out mere hours before the fight, citing a sinus issue.

National League West the Class of the MLB

National League West

National League West Continues to Roll


With less than 25 games remaining in MLB’s regular season, the playoff picture is becoming clearer. Within the National League, the West has emerged as the toast of baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies all currently sit in a playoff spot. The West is the only division in baseball to have three teams currently qualified for the playoffs.

Dodgers Looking to win National League West


The Los Angeles Dodgers sit atop the NL West, and all of the MLB, with 92 wins. They’ve broken out in a big way with the emergence of rookie 1B Cody Bellinger. The 22-year-old currently leads the Dodgers with 36 homeruns and 82 RBI. He is the resounding favorite to win the NL’s Rookie of the Year award. Combined with career years by 3B Justin Turner, who leads the team with a .332 batting average, SS Corey Seager (19 HR, 65 RBI), and Yasiel Puig (24 HR, 62 RBI), the Dodgers have a core of young, productive players that seem to get better with every game.

Los Angeles had been without their Ace, Clayton Kershaw, who was out with a back injury since July 23, but the lefty returned on September 1 and performed well against the San Diego Padres. He struck out seven and surrendered only two hits over six innings without giving up a single run. Kershaw looked to be in fine form and ready for a playoff push in L.A. With a gamut of offensive talent and a shutdown starter, the Dodgers are the favorites to win the World Series in 2017 (+210).

Patriots 9-Point Home Favourites Versus Chiefs

New England Patriots Football

Patriots Just Reload Year to Year


The 2017 NFL regular season kicks off this Thursday (8:30 PM ET, NBC) in Foxborough, MA. The defending Super Bowl champion, New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs, square off to get the 2017 NFL Season underway.

The Patriots are 9-point favorites at press time. The game opened with the Pats favored by –7.5. The over/under is 49 points after dipping as low as 47.5.

The Patriots (14-2 SU, 13-3 ATS last year) are coming off one of the better seasons in NFL history. They’re expected to do big things this year as well. New England is +325 favorites for Super Bowl LII. The Pats defensive line is a bit suspect at time. Defensive tackle Vincent Valentine expects to miss Thursday’s opener with a knee injury. The Pats did add DE Cassius Marsh over the weekend in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks.

Chiefs Not Chopped Liver


Kansas City (12-4 SU, 9-7 ATS) has one of the best pass rushes in football. The focus Thursday will be on rookie RB Kareem Hunt. Hunt is being thrust into the spotlight after Spencer Ware was lost for the season to a torn right knee. Hunt was first-team All-MAC for the Toledo Rockets in 2014 and 2016. The Chiefs drafted him in the third round and expect big things.

Patriots Still Super Bowl LII Favorites

Super Bowl LII Odds

Patriots Reload for Run at Super Bowl LII


They may have lost their top wide receiver, but the New England Patriots haven’t budged on the Super Bowl LII futures market. They’re still the +325 favourites at press time despite losing WR Julian Edelman (98 catches, 1106 yards last year) to a torn ACL. Edelman will miss the entire 2017 season, which starts September 7 when the Patriots host the Kansas City Chiefs (8:30 PM ET, NBC).

Bet on football at Bovada and get a free 100% bonus.

Without Edelman’s services, the defending Super Bowl champions will be relying on newcomer Brandin Cooks (78 catches, 1173 yards for New Orleans) to be their top wideout. Cooks came over from the Saints in March; he was sixth among NFL receivers last year at 10.0 yards per target. Chris Hogan (38 catches, 680 yards) should also see some more playing time with Edelman on injured reserve.

The Green Bay Packers (+800) and Oakland Raiders (+1000) are the top contenders to New England’s crown, at least according to the NFL futures. The Atlanta Falcons, who nearly beat the Patriots at Super Bowl LI, are available at +1200. The Falcons have almost all their key players coming back for 2017, and they’ll be playing in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium this year.

Top Ranked Alabama and 3rd Ranked FSU Kickoff 2017 Season

Alabama Vs Florida State

Alabama and FSU Greatest Opener of All-Time?


The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida State Seminoles will officially kick-off the 2017 college football season on Saturday. The traditional power-houses meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game is set to kickoff a little after 8 pm EST and will be televised nationally on ABC.

Never before as a team ranked No. 1 played against a team ranked as high as No. 3 in the first weekend of the season. These are the two winningest College Football Programs since 2010. They have combined for five of the last eight National Champions.

The College Football Playoff will be decided this season at Atlanta's new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, so it is only fitting the first college football game ever may likely determine who plays in it. The $1.5 billion replacement for the Georgia Dome will have what is arguably the best college football opening game of all-time. The team that loses this game will not be able to slip up the rest of the 2017 season.

Oddsmakers opened the Crimson Tide as -6.5-point favorites versus the Seminoles, while the game's total opened at 53. Alabama is now a 7-point favorite and the total is down to 49.5.

Alabama to be Motivated after CFB National Championship Loss


The Tide will motivated against FSU. The Seminoles are picked to unseat Clemson as the ACC champion this year. The Tide has a perfect season ruined by a 35-31 loss to Clemson on a last-second touchdown in the College Football Playoff title game in January. Seven players were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft off the Alabama defense, so that could be a weakness against a powerful FSU offense.

Seven players were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft off the Alabama defense. FSU also has the pedigree of success producing pros and a wealth of talent returning to make a run at a national title. Jalen Hurts will lead a powerful Tide offense. He was the 2016 SEC Offensive Player of the Year as a Freshman

FSU Ready to Compete for National Championship?


Florida State can match Hurts with Deondre Francois. He was also a freshman standout a season ago. Francois isn't Jameis Winston, but has lots of talent and can easily lead this team to a title. He's the Seminoles' best quarterback since Winston and if he gets protection from his offensive line can be great.

Florida State won seven of its final eight games a year ago to finish 10-3. They return nine regulars on defense and will have star safety Derwin James back at full strength. He only played two games in 2016 because of a knee injury.
