Las Vegas - YUMUNGOUS line moves on the NFL board, and you can blame it all on COVID-19. The Browns opened at -6.5 over the Raiders, but now have EIGHT players on the COVID list, and Vegas is now a -1.5 point fav. The Over/Under has dropped as well, from an open of 43.5 down to 38.5. Also seeing the Rams/Seahawks game fall from an open of L.A. -7 all the way down to -4.5 in a few spots. The Rams have put NINE players on the COVID list including Odell Beckham Jr.

Las Vegas - Riddle me this Batman. Is it ALL about the coaching? The answer has to be a resounding YES! Vancouver had lost nine of 10 games, had a record of 8-17, then fired its coach, Travis Green. They hired my guy, Double B, Bruce Boudreau, and the Canucks have been PERFECT ever since. They've won four in a row and get a Columbus team that is skating in mud, losing six of its last eight. The Blue Jackets have been outscored 33-22 over the last eight, and that's UGLY.

Las Vegas - A little housekeeping on the college bowl board. The biggest move on the slate comes in the Quick Lane Bowl. Nevada opened -2.5 over Western Michigan, but Western is now -3.5.

Las Vegas - Before we get to the NFL action on the West coast, c'mon over to Spain with me and the Madrid derby. It'll be Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid. Real will be a small favorite, around -$105, or maybe even money. And we are ALL OVER Los Blancos as long as Karim Benzema is in the starting 11. If Benzema is on the bench, we still like Real, but not Really that strong.

Las Vegas - They're hoopin' it up in the Mountains and gonna take Colorado State -2 points over Mississippi State. Once you leave the Rockies, no one really pays any attention to the basketball teams, but the Rams from Fort Collins are good. Really good. Really, really good. As in 9-0 good! Of course, you'll hear arguments about the SEC being way better than the Mountain West, but NOT this afternoon. Love what head coach Niko Medved is doing with these Rams.
