Las Vegas - ZAPPED! If you're not familiar, lemme tell you a little something about Bailey Zappe. After Mac Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in week 3, Zappe stepped in and he has been aces. The Patriots wound up losing that game to Green Bay, but with Bailey under center, they Zapped the Lions 29-0, then whipped the Browns, 38-15. Zappe was 17 of 21 (81%) against Detroit and 24 of 34 (70.6%) against Cleveland. He totaled 497 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT.

Las Vegas - NO ONE expected the Raiders to open up 1-4 after stealing WR Davante Adams from Green Bay, but here we are. Las Vegas had a week off to try and figure out what's next, and for me, a GIGANTIC bet on Vegas -2.5 points in the 1st Q is next, and the way to the bank. Why? The last time we saw the Raiders, on Monday night against Kansas City, they won the 1st quarter 7-0, and also won the 1st half 20-10. Now they are well rested and ready to roar.

Las Vegas - Looking out West and gonna try UCLA +6.5 points over Oregon. Okay. Okay. I know the first thing you're gonna tell me is that the Ducks have not lost at home since 2019. That's 22-0 and that's AMAZING. But that's straight wins, NOT against the spread. Over that 22 game stretch, the Ducks covered 10 and failed to cover nine times. The other three were no line games against cupcakes. Now they face a SUPER solid UCLA squad that is 6-0 straight up and 4-1 against the spread.

Las Vegas - We don't normally handicap ears, but gotta delve into Joe Musgrove's auricles. Against the Mets, when he threw a 7 inning, 1 hit, 5 K gem, his ears were VERY shiny and VERY sweaty. In his last outing against the Dodgers, his ears didn't look as shiny or sweaty and he gave up 2 runs in 6 innings. Actually, don't care much about Joe's ears, but do care about his only start against the Phillies this season.
