Las Vegas - Played against Clemson last week and it was MONEY in the bank as the Tigers failed to cover a 13 point spread against Syracuse. Tomorrow, the number is tougher, but expecting Pittsburgh (-3) to post a W at home. Why? Once again, the Tale of Two QBs. Start out with Clemson's D.J. Uiagalelei. D.J. has hit on only 97 of 174 (55.7%) for 974 yards with 4 TDs and 3 INTs. Not exactly Heisman numbers.

Las Vegas - It's the Tale of Two Garcia's tonight, but we're talking only Luis. In his first start against Boston during the regular season, at home, he was superb, allowing just one earned run over seven innings. Then disaster in game two of the ALCS where he was BOMBED, giving up FIVE earned in just ONE inning. So, which Garcia do we get? Not sure if it really matters the way the Astros are raking. They've scored EIGHTEEN runs the last two games and 31 so far in the series.

Las Vegas - When the Browns/Broncos line opened late Sunday night, Cleveland was listed as a 5-point favorite.

Las Vegas - Hard to tell how good 6-0 Coastal Carolina is, but they do have THE BEST nickname in ALL of college football. The Chanticleers!!!

If you didn't want that information, excusez-moi! Coastal's offense has been devastating, scoring 293 points in six games. That's an average of 48.8 per.

Las Vegas - Been there done that. The Dodgers were in a YUGE hole last year against the Braves, down 3-1, but came back to win the NLCS. They might not come all the way back again, but gotta throw a big pile of chips at Walker Buehler to at least grab game three. And of course we have reasons. Buehler has been a rock against Atlanta the last three times out, allowing just three earned runs over 18 innings for a svelte 1.50 ERA.
