sooners

Las Vegas - Oklahoma opens the season at home with the #4 AP ranking, and the Sooners LOVE home openers. You could call it a FEAST. Just a few scores from Norman the last eight years. Starting back in 2011, 47-14, 69-13, 34-0, 48-16, 41-3, 59-17, 56-7 and 63-14. Didn't wanna embarrass the losing schools by naming 'em. That's an average winning margin of almost 42 points per game. But Eck, no Baker Mayfield or Kyler Murray for OU right? Yea, but Jalen Hurts coming over from Alabama with a 24-2 record as a starter ain't horrible. And if that isn't enough, there's a little revenge on the table from 2016 when the Cougars beat the Okies 33-23 in the season opener, on a neutral field. Not gonna go all Boomer on the Sooners, but will tickle the team with the covered wagon.

Tasty round of 16 matchup between Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka in NYC. Of course, Joker is a YUGE favorite at -$600, and should be, while Stan the Man is at around +$425. Hmmmmmmmm. Tasty underdog? The last time these two met, it was the Final of this U.S. Open back in 2016. And Wawrinka held the trophy at the end of the match with a 6-7, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 victory. So, it's revenge for Novak, but with a bum shoulder, are you gonna lay $600 to win back $100? Not me. Teeny, tiny little taste of Switzerland Stan just in case the Joker's shoulder pops out.
