Las Vegas - Of course you're dying to know who will be the first college football coach to get the pink slip, and obviously, we have odds. Clay Helton at USC is at the top of the soon-to-be-unemployed list with odds of 5/1. Right on his heels is Chris Ash of Rutgers at 6/1. Lovie Smith ain't getting much love at Illinois with 8/1 odds to get the heave-ho. Gus Malzahn is a short walk away from the exit at Auburn with odds of 10/1. BYU's Kalani Sitake is 12/1 to say goodbye to the crowds in Provo. Bunched up at 15/1 you have LSU's Ed Ogeron, Virginia Tech's Justin Fuente and Florida State's Willie Taggert. Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy still has the best college football rant EVER (I'm a man, I'm 40!), but his seat is not guaranteed with odds of 18/1. Last name on the list is Indiana's Tom Allen at 20/1.

Not quite sure why the Astros are ONLY -$200 with Gerrit Cole against the Rays. But WHAT a BARGAIN! The last time Cole pitched, he was -$500 against the Orioles. MINUS FIVE DOLLARS! Of course Tampa is light years better than Baltimore, but still, we're talking G. Cole folks. Last six outings you ask? PHENOMENAL! Gerrit allowed only 6 earned runs over 41 innings for a 1.32 ERA, and posted 55 Ks. Yea, better than a K per inning. Oh, and did I mention that each of those six starts was a W. Don't care who throws for the Rays as long as Cole is Houston's arm.
