Las Vegas - Before we get to the NFL action on the West coast, c'mon over to Spain with me and the Madrid derby. It'll be Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid. Real will be a small favorite, around -$105, or maybe even money. And we are ALL OVER Los Blancos as long as Karim Benzema is in the starting 11. If Benzema is on the bench, we still like Real, but not Really that strong.

Las Vegas - They're hoopin' it up in the Mountains and gonna take Colorado State -2 points over Mississippi State. Once you leave the Rockies, no one really pays any attention to the basketball teams, but the Rams from Fort Collins are good. Really good. Really, really good. As in 9-0 good! Of course, you'll hear arguments about the SEC being way better than the Mountain West, but NOT this afternoon. Love what head coach Niko Medved is doing with these Rams.

Las Vegas - Can you name the ONLY coach in any of the major pro sports that has a perfect record? Lemme give you a little help. Vancouver fired Travis Green on Sunday and hired Bruce Boudreau. The Canucks have played twice since Double B took over, and are a PERFECT 2-0! Obviously, that's a small sample, but it looks like Van City is coming back to life. If you're not familiar with Boudreau, he's a hockey lifer, and has made coaching stops in Washington, Anaheim and Minnesota.

Las Vegas - Watts UP! If there's one player that can wreck a game plan, it's T.J. Watt. The baby Watt makes the most cash of all the brothers, and he is WORTH it. In games that he has played for the Steelers, they're 6-2. Without Watt, Pittsburgh is 0-3-1. OUCH! And T.J. gets to face a Minnesota team WITHOUT superstar WR Adam Thielen. Now we're hearing that superstar RB Dalvin Cook is listed as probable, but one good hit on that shoulder and he's gonzo.

Las Vegas - Of course it's a little early, but you can bet on the College Football Championship game. Naturally, everyone assumes it's gonna be Alabama vs. Georgia, and naturally, after the beatdown in the SEC title game, everyone assumes that 'Bama will be the favorite. Well, if you looked at the opening number from the Circa sportsbook here in Vegas, SURPRISE! They have the Dawgs -1 point over the Tide with an Over/Under total of 53.5.
