Las Vegas - One of the GREAT nicknames in all of sports, the Horned Frogs, take on the Cowboys from Oklahoma State, and we're on TCU. Both teams are perfect, both at 5-0, but the Cowboys from Stillwater are ranked 8th while the Frogs are down at 13th. Sonny Dykes came over from SMU after a successful five year stint in Dallas, posting a 30-18 record for the Mustangs. Sonny is already 5-0 in Fort Worth and his Frogs are beating people by over 22 points per game.

Then Mr. & Mrs. Nola, A.J. and Stacie, will have to make some tough decisions.

Well, you know that I NEVER wager on or against the Yankees (they were rained out, so no worries), so that leaves the Astros/Mariners game.

It's not gonna be easy because Zack Wheeler has been really solid the last month for the Phillies. But Wright is on a WHOLE other level at home in Atlanta. Since June, Kyle has started 11 times in the ATL and has NOT lost. Ten straight wins with one no decision, which the Braves wound up winning.
Read MoreLas Vegas - As most of you who sit at my table know, I never bet on or against the Yankees. Why? Because I bleed pinstripes. But there is another game that caught my eye, and it's the Dodgers over the Padres. Totally understand that San Diego drives up to L.A. with Uncle Mo(mentum) in the back seat, but Dodger Stadium has a way of stopping Uncle Mo dead. The Dodgers had not announced the game one starter while we were at the keyboard, but it doesn't really matter.
