dutch over us

Las Vegas - Gotta get you up early for some World Cup Sweet 16 action between the USA and Netherlands. There are approximately 332,000,000 million people in the United States, and I might be the ONLY one that is picking the Dutch side. I'll be watching the game in a quiet corner of my garage with no sound. Under the hood of my pickup truck. The Oranje have been on quite a roll with an 18 game unbeaten streak. Some folks have thrown shade at the Dutch for taking only eight shots on goal so far, but they've kept kept two clean sheets (shutouts) and outscored the opposition 5-1. The Netherlands have a LOCK DOWN defense, with one of the best players in the world, Virgil van Dijk, defending the goal. That has allowed goalie Andries Noppert to record four BAGELS in the last five matches. Expecting Cody Gakpo, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay to give the Stars & Stripes AGITA all game. Not sure how fit Christian Pulisic will be for the game, or, how long he will play. Not worried, because from this keyboard, the Dutch have TOO much talent. Gimme the ORANJE for the money. Also gonna take a taste of a few prop wagers. Backing the Netherlands to win 1-0 (5/1), 2-0 (8/1) and 3-0 (18/1).

Then we move back to the college football board for the MAC title tilt and grab Ohio University +3 over Toledo. Think that the oddsmakers have the WRONG favorite in this spot. Why? I'll tell ya. Ohio U has been on quite a tear. After starting the season at 2-3, the Bobcats have ripped off seven straight wins, and head to Ford Field in Detroit (a neutral site), on a gigantic 8-0 spread run. Yea, EIGHT & OH! On the other side of the field, Toledo has lost three of the last five, and come to the title game on an 0-5 spread run. Yea, OH & FIVE! These Rockets do not have enough fuel in the tank to stop the Bobcats.
