ACC Football: Louisville (17) Travels to N.C. State (24) Thursday Night

N.C. State Looks to Thursday Night ACC Football for Statement

The 17th-ranked Louisville Cardinals and the 24th-ranked N.C. State Wolfpack will battle Thursday at Carter-Finley Stadium. The game will be televised by ESPN and kickoff is set for 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers have listed Louisville as a 3-point favorite. The total is at 66.

North Carolina State needs victories over quality programs to validate its improvement. They have another chance for that Thursday night at home against Louisville and the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner.

They have already pulled off an upset of Florida State. The first week of October shows the Wolfpack and Clemson as the only teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division without a loss.

N.C. State quarterback Ryan Finley hasn't thrown an interception in 192 attempts this year. He's one reason why the Wolfpack's 72.1 percent completion rate ranks seventh nationally.

N.C. State has put together one of the most best defenses in the ACC. Defensive end Bradley Chubb leads the conference with 12 tackles for loss.

Louisville Looks for Repeat Performance From Jackson

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson had a huge game against the Wolfpack last year. He had four touchdowns in the first half. This game helped fuel his Heisman Trophy candidacy.

Jackson has accounted for a school-record 92 career touchdowns. He had four in the Murray State blowout win last week. They won 55-0 and he played barely more than a half.

Louisville has won six of seven meetings with N.C. All three since joining the ACC. The Wolfpack's only victory came in the 2011 Belk Bowl.

ALDS Preview: Yankees and Indians Square off in Cleveland

Aces Not on the Mound in ALDS for Yanks and Indians

The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians open their 2017 ALDS Series tonight at 7:30 pm EST. The game from Progressive Field will be telecast live across the nation on Fox Sports 1.

Neither teams Aces will be on the mound tonight. Fans should still expect to see a good pitching matchup. Yankees ace Luis Severino started the AL wild-card game against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.

Indians ace Corey Kluber is rested but will start Game 2. Manager Terry Francona wants to have Kluber pitch on his normal day to pitch. This also sets up to be ready for a possible Game 5 start.

It will be New York's Sonny Gray vs. Cleveland's Trevor Bauer in Game 1.

Oddsmakers have the Indians listed as -143-moneyline favorites. The total is at 8.5.

Indians Had Best Record in AL

The Indians come into the ALDS with the best record in the American League. They were 102-60 and have won 34 of their last 38 games. The amazing streak that includes their American League-record 22-game winning streak.

The Indians went 5-2 against the Yankees during the regular season. Three of those wins were during Cleveland's 22-game winning streak.

Indians pitchers will be trying to stimey Yankees rookie slugger Aaron Judge. Judge hit a rookie-record 52 home runs this season. He added another in New York's 8-4 win over Minnesota in the wild-card game.

Bauer had a breakout season this year. He finally put things together and went 17-9 with a 4.19 ERA. In two starts against the Yankees he was 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA.

Yankees Look for Strong Showing in ALDS

Gray was 10-12 with a 3.55 ERA in 27 starts this year for the Oakland A's and New York. He has 11 starts for the Yankees. Gray went 4-7 with a 3.72 ERA. He started three times against the Indians this year, going 1-2 with a 4.86 ERA.

Gray's last start against Cleveland came on Aug. 3. It was a 5-1 loss in which he pitched six innings. He gave up four runs, two of them earned, on four hits. Gray also had six strikeouts and three walks in his Yankees debut. Gray's career record against Cleveland is 3-3 with a 3.38 ERA.

Justin Verlander will be toeing the rubber for the Astros in Game 1. Verlander has been basically unhittable since joining the Astros. He’s won all six games that he started as an Astro. He has given up only four runs in blue and orange.

Verlander is 5-0 with a 1.06 ERA following his trade from the Detroit Tigers. He will make his 17th career postseason start with his usual intensity and commitment to perfection.

Houston took the regular season series four games to three. October baseball is an entirely different story, however. The winner will be determined by who is able to carry momentum into each game and who will capitalize on the other’s mistakes. It’s finally here - playoff baseball.

US Senate Special Odds: Kid Rock and Caitlyn Jenner

Kid Rock is Serious About US Senate Run

Anything can happen in American politics. That includes Kid Rock running for Senate. The rap-rock musician, and former husband to Pamela Anderson, is an unabashed supporter of Donald Trump. Kid Rock has been vocal in his interest in running for US Senate. He would run as a Republican in 2018 for his native state of Michigan. Will he do it? We will see.

Oddsmakers have No as the –180 favorite. with Yes priced at +150.

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

Kid Rock is definitely playing up his interest. He even had “Kid Rock for US Senate” T-shirts on sale during last week’s venue-opening concert at the new Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. However, a poll released Wednesday shows him trailing Senator Debbie Stabenow (D) by 18 points in a potential head-to-head matchup.

If Mr. Rock (birth name: Robert Richie) does decide to run, he’s a +450 underdog to unseat the three-term incumbent.

Also pondering a Senate run: Caitlyn Jenner. The former gold-medal Olympic decathlete (as Bruce Jenner), who’s also a staunch Republican, has floated the idea of running in California, where she maintains a residence in Malibu.

However, Jenner hasn’t had much to say about a possible campaign in recent weeks, and she’s listed at +240 to make a run for Senate in 2018.

Sun Belt Preview: Arkansas State vs. Georgia Southern

Georgia Southern Looking for First Win

The Arkansas State Red Wolves and the Georgia Southern Eagles open their Sun Belt Conference schedules on Wednesday when they meet at Paulson Stadium in Statesboro, Georgia. This game starts a key stretch run for both teams in conference play. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2 and kickoff is set for 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers have Arkansas State listed as a 9-point favorite. It opened at 7 and has went up two points in the last couple of hours. The total is still at 55 points.

In their last action, Georgia Southern was a 52-17 loser on the road against the Indiana Hoosiers. They failed to cover the +22-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (69) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Georgia Southern enters Wednesday night’s matchup winless, at 0-3. They are desperate to change that. The Eagles are struggling in coach Tyson Summers’ second year.  The arrival of Sun Belt play should give Summers a good idea of where this program is in relation to the rest of the league.

In an effort to get the offense on track, Summers hired Georgia Tech assistant Bryan Cook as the new play-caller. Cook has deep roots running the option. The option has been this programs bread and butter for 30-plus years. The program seemed to get away from it in Summers’ debut. he tough schedule has limited Georgia Southern to just 12 points per game.

Arkansas State is a Sun Belt Contender

Last time out for Arkansas State, they were a 44-21 loser as they battled the SMU Mustangs on the road. Arkansas State failed to cover in the match as a +2.5-point underdog, while 65 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Arkansas State’s Blake Anderson is one of the Sun Belt’s best coaches. Anerson has this program in position to contend for the league title once again. The Red Wolves are 25-17 since 2014. They are 15-1 in conference games over the last two seasons.

Arkansas State gave Nebraska all it could handle in the season opener. They fell short in the upset bid, losing 43-36 in Lincoln. The Week 2 matchup against Miami was canceled due to Hurricane Irma. The Red Wolves pounded FCS member Arkansas-Pine Bluff 48-3 on Sept. 16.  They fell 44-21 at SMU on Sept. 23. Arkansas State is on the road for three out of their next five contests.

Arkansas State and Georgia Southern have played each other previously just twice. The Red Wolves won 27-26 last season at home. The Eagles won in 1986 in the I-AA (now FCS) national title game.
