Las Vegas - You should have read this, but the time change goofed me up...SORRY...

Back across the pond for another early start, and we're gonna roll with Leicester City over Sheffield United. Most people look at the spelling and pronounce it, Lie Chester, but just in case you're not familiar, it's Lester. The Foxes are sitting in the 3rd slot and looking good for a top four finish which would put them in the next UEFA Champions League mix. And after looking at all the numbers, this figures to be an easy breezy win for the home side. The Blades from Sheffield stumble in to King Power Stadium at the very BOTTOM of the Premier League table. They have scored just 16 goals and allowed 45 for an UGLIFIED -29 goal differential. They also have a manager, Chris Wilder, who has called out some of his players, and could be looking for work very soon. You think the Sheffield kids wanna go through a wall for Wilder at this point? UH UH. The Blades have scored only one goal in their last four games. That's a quarter of a goal per. OUCH! You know that we're gonna get FOXY in this spot and you can BOOK IT!!!

On the college hoop board, we're thinking that Illinois will win the Big Ten title, and Alabama will wear the SEC crown. The Illini will fight Ohio State, and these two split the regular season. O-State won at Illinois 87-81, then lost at Columbus, 73-68. In the SEC, we're looking at DOUBLE REVENGE for LSU. Alabama EMBARRASSED, HUMILIATED and basically STOMPED on the Tigers in Baton Rouge, 105-75. Then the Tide rolled to 78-60 W in Tuscaloosa. So, you would think that a 30 point win and an 18 point W would be an automatic victory for 'Bama in the third game. Yes for the title, but we have other ideas. Like a two team 6-point teaser. We'll take LSU and bump the Tigers up from +6 to +12 and then put Ohio State on the ticket, and take the Buckeyes from +6 to +12. BOOK IT!!!
