jimbo & nick

Las Vegas - Dueling press conferences sets the stage for an EPIC matchup between Alabama and Texas A&M on October 8th. It's Nick Saban vs. Jimbo Fisher, and we're talking trash, actually, they're talking trash. Which makes the matchup at Tuscaloosa even more DELICIOUS. At the moment, we have 'Bama as a -16 point favorite at home, but we have seen a few 16.5s. For some context, A&M hosted the Crimson Tide last season at College Station, the Tide was a GINORMOUS -18.5 point favorite, but the Jimbos pulled off an incredible 41-38 upset. The Over/Under total was listed at 50.5, and obviously, went HIGH. Not ready to throw any cash down just yet, but that double digit spread sure does look tasty.

Thinking that the Celtics are gonna roll into the NBA Finals when the final buzzer sounds, but laying 8.5 or 9 points is just a little out of my range. Pass on the hoops.

Not gonna pass on some MLB action tonight and will try the Twins with Bailey Ober over the Royals. Ober's record is just 1-1, but it's his last four outings that intrigue us. He has allowed only three earned runs over the last 20 innings, and that's a gorgeous 1.35 ERA. Minny has won six of the last seven, while Kaycee has dropped six straight (not including last night). If the Twinkies won last night, would still make a buy, but just slice a few chips off the wager.
