Las Vegas - Checked into the Doctor yesterday for my yearly physical, which is why we're taking a pass on the card tonight. Everything looked VERY good. THX for asking. Blood pressure solid. Cholesterol well under 200. Heart ticking. Lungs clear. Temp right on 98.6. They also did a memory/neurological test. They give you three words, then hand you a piece of paper with an empty clock face. You have to fill in all the numbers of the clock, then they ask you to set the hands to like 8:20.

Las Vegas - Welcome to the MULLETT! No, not a hair style but rather the ice hockey arena that the Arizona Coyotes will call home for the next three years. It's on the campus of Arizona State University and the Sun Devils have scheduling priority over the Coyotes. And this space is rather intimate, as in ONLY 5,025 seats. The Coyotes live on the lower end of the NHL spectrum with a 15-27-5 record, but the Ducks are the absolute ROCK BOTTOM at 13-29-5.

Las Vegas - Steve Alford is in the middle of his fourth year as the head coach of Nevada, and it is shaping up to be his best yet. Of course, Alford knows a little bit about winning with a lifetime coaching record of 649-341 (66%). Steve coached New Mexico, tonight's opponent, for six seasons, and he is pitching a PERFECTO against his old team. Since taking over in Reno, Alford is 6-0 against the Lobos.

Las Vegas - Buffalo comes roaring in on an eight game winning streak with home field advantage. Also note that the Bills have won 13 of the last 14 home playoff games. But Cincinnati comes steaming in on a nine game winning streak, so which way do we turn? Did anyone say money line? You know that we LOVE Joe Burrow and normally, would jump on Burreaux as a six point dog. But NOT today. And the main reason is the offensive line, or more accurately, the LACK of an offensive line.

Las Vegas - Kinda tough to wrap my head around Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence. He looked PATHETIC in the 1st half last week against the Chargers, throwing FOUR INTs. Then he was superman in the 2nd half, with THREE TD passes. These teams met back in November, IN Kansas City, and the Chiefs posted a 27-17 victory. Lawrence was 29 of 40 for 259 with 2 TDs and no INTs. All-World Patrick Mahomes was 26 of 35 for 331 yards with 4 TDs and 1 INT.
