Las Vegas - Two underdogs come through the National League Division Series to move on to the National League Championship Series. Amazing. The Cardinals ended Atlanta's dream with an historic 10 run first inning. The Nationals clawed back from a 3-1 deficit, tied it at 3-3 against Clayton Kershaw, then got a grand salami from Howie Kendricks in the 10th inning. So, momentum?

Gonna hit a college game early, and it's Hawaii +12.5 points against Boise State before the line goes down. Reasons later in the week.

Las Vegas - Jimmy G vs. the Baker. Tasty Monday night matchup. After an opening loss, Garappolo has pushed the Niners to a 3-1 record, and with a week off to lick some wounds, San Fran should be able to squeeze out a W. But with the line jumping to -5, not gonna activate the phone app for this one.
