Las Vegas - First the season series results for your handicap. The Yankees played three games at Cleveland back in April, and took two. They won 3-2 (Schmidt over Carrasco), 8-2 (Poteet over McKenzie), then lost the finale 8-7 (Allen over Cortes). They played three in New York in August and took two again. The Yanks lost the first game 9-5 (Boyd over Gil), then won 8-1 (Cortes over Cantillo) and 6-0 (Cole over Williams). Almost always pass on game one in a playoff series just to take the temperature of both teams. And of course, you KNOW that I will NEVER bet on or against the Yankees. Might make an exception for Gerrit Cole in game two, I'll let you know.

On the NFL board tonight, tough call to make since both QBs have been kinda EH. Last week, Aaron Rodgers was 29 of 54 with 2 TDs and 3 INTs against the Vikings. Josh Allen was a very UGLY 9 for 30 with only 131 yards and 1 TD against the Texans. Buffalo is listing RB James Cook, the leading rusher, as questionable. And WR Khalil Shakir, who leads the team in receptions (18) and yards (230), is also a question mark. The Jets have won two in a row at home against the Bills, 20-17 in 2022 as +10.5 point dog and 22-16 last season as a +2.5 point dog. If you wanna pass, no worries, because this guy ain't gonna open the wallet for the Jets or Bills. However, we will take a quick drive to Prop City and look at New York TE Tyler Conklin Over 3.5 receptions. Looks like Rodgers is getting more and more comfortable with Conklin, and his numbers are starting to grow. The last three games, the kid from Central Michigan has been targeted 6 times, 8 times and 9 times, with 5 grabs, 4 grabs and 6 grabs. Over 3.5 should be money in the bank.
