Las Vegas - Why no respect for UNLV football? The Runnin' Rebels are 3-1 straight up and FOUR & OH against the spread. They opened up at -16 over New Mexico and have dropped to -14. Why? Not sure. I'll look into it and get back to you. If you're looking for the biggest mover so far on the college board, it's Pittsburgh. The Panthers opened at -18 early Sunday afternoon over Georgia Tech, and have ZOOMED all the way up to -23.5. Looking out West, BIG money flooding in on San Jose State.

Las Vegas - What do like better? The New York Giants 2-0 straight up and 2-0 spread record so far this season, or, the fact that Dallas has won nine of the last 10 against New York? What about trends? The Cowboys have covered seven of the last eight games on the road and are working on a 6-0 spread perfecto against the NFC East. Most of those numbers for the 'Boys have come courtesy of Dak Prescott. As everyone knows, NO Dak tonight. That leaves it to backup QB Cooper Rush.

Because Lamar Jackson is PHENOMENAL! As long as his right elbow is not cranky, Jackson will put on a show.

Las Vegas - If you're looking to make a few potatoes on the college football board, we're gonna recommend UNLV -3 points over Utah State. Marcus Arroyo's first two years in Vegas were rough, really rough, winning only two and losing 16. But the Rebs have already won two games this season, and they finally have some talent. QB Doug Brumfield was 21 of 27 passing for 211 yards and picked up another 100 on the ground against North Texas last week.

Las Vegas - Can I get some cream with my coffee? Looking at Baltimore and Dean Kremer over the Astros tonight. Obviously, Houston is the superior team here, and barring a dramatic collapse, will probably be the #1 seed in the American League. But Baltimore is still fighting for the third wild card spot, and we really like what Kremer has brought to the table. DON'T like what Jose Urquidy has brought to the table for the Astros.
