Las Vegas - Does not get any better than #1 vs. #2. If you're looking at the AP Top 25, then Georgia is your #1. If you're looking at the College Football Playoff Rankings, then Tennessee is your #1. Respect the defending National Champion Bulldogs and the 8-0 record, but gotta look at the lack of quality teams on the schedule. With the exception of Oregon, the slate is NOT very impressive. We're talking Samford, Kent State, Missouri, South Carolina, Florida, Auburn and Vanderbilt.

Las Vegas - Gonna lace up the skates tonight, slide out to the mountains, and drop some chips on Colorado over Columbus. Call it the Stanley Cup hangover because the Avalanche have lost two in a row, and four of the last six.

Nola has been really UGLY the last two times out in the playoffs. What does ugly look like? How about 13 hits and 11 earned runs in just 9 innings against Houston and San Diego. Those numbers DO NOT make me comfortable. The numbers that do JUMP off the page belong to Javier.

Las Vegas - Ready to win a few bucks in Philly tonight? Of course you are. Philadelphia sends Ranger Suarez to the hill and he has had two solid outings in the playoffs. Against the Braves he gave up 1 earned run in 3 innings, and followed up against the Padres allowing 1 earned run again over 5 innings. Houston’s Lance McCullers Jr. was close to perfect against the Mariners in the ALDS, throwing 6 innings worth of bagels and allowing just 2 hits.
