Las Vegas - What effect will Mad Max Scherzer have on the odds to win the World Series? Pretty, pretty, PRETTY big. The Mets were sitting at around 20/1 to rock the ring, and after signing Mad Max, dropped all the way down to around 10/1.

Las Vegas - Always gotta be careful when GOBS of money floods in on a game, and this is one of those spots. Seattle opened up at -2/-2.5/-3 depending on where you shop, but the Washington Football Team has attracted a TON of cash, and is now a -1 point favorite. Why? It's certainly NOT the 4-6 straight up record, the UGLY 3-7 mark against the spread, or, the 1-4 record at home in D.C. My guess is, it's all about Russell Wilson's THUMB!

Las Vegas - Rolling out to Indy and looking at the Colts +3 points over the Bucs. Always tough to go against Tom Brady, but Indianapolis has a chance to rock this party. Did a deep dive on Tampa's schedule this season, and a couple of things jumped off the page. TB12 and his crew are OH & THREE against the spread vs. teams with winning records (Cowboys, Rams, Patriots). The Bucs are OH & FIVE against the spread on the road so far.

Las Vegas - High noon in Ann Arbor for the entire ball of wax. A win for Ohio State and the Buckeyes go to Indy next week to battle for the Big Ten title (either Wisconsin or Iowa). Then on to the College Football Playoffs. A loss and they're GONZO! But it AIN'T gonna be a loss. The Buckeyes lead the world in scoring (47.2 ppg), total offense (559.9 ypg) and TDs (67). They have a QB, C.J. Stroud, who is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Why?

Las Vegas - LOVE the Air Force. My Dad was Air Force in WWII. But MINUS 18 points over UNLV. UH UH! We picked up a nice little bundle of cash last Friday when the Rebels played a very good San Diego State team and covered a +11 point spread in a 28-20 loss. Despite an ugly 2-9 overall record, Vegas has been a YUGE money-maker, covering three in a row and six of the last eight. The Force is humming at 8-3 overall and should post the W, but asking the Falcons to win by 18 is a stretch.
