Las Vegas - A quick hop across the pond and we'll take a bite of Everton against Fulham, or, The Toffees against The Cottagers. Man, why can't we have cool nicknames like that. Back to basics. Everton is sitting just three points outside of 4th place which would punch a ticket to the next UEFA Champions League party. Fulham is sitting in the 18th spot in what the English call the 'Relegation Zone.' If they finish in the bottom three, they get booted out of the Premier League. OUCH! The Cottagers have eaten two bagels the last couple of games, while the Toffees have scored eight goals in the last two. And if you like goal differential, Everton is a +6 while Fulham is a -14. Too bad we have no fans because 'The Toffee Lady' tradition is just brilliant. A girl walks around the perimeter of the pitch before the start of the game tossing free Everton Mints into the crowd. No mints today, but still, gimme some TOFFEE for the money!

Bouncing over to the college hoop hardwood, gonna tickle Oregon State +6 points over Arizona State. Bobby Hurley's Sun Devils are sitting at 6-9, but against the spread, we're talking UGLY. They have covered only three of 15 this season, and at 20%, you probably wanna turn to the other side. The Beavers are basically a .500 club, winning 10 and losing nine, but they've been good to the wallet, covering six of the last eight with one push. OSU beat the Devils back in January, 80-79, and the final should be tight once again. Building a dam with the Beavers.
