Las Vegas - Back to some MLB action tonight, and it's the Mariners over the Braves. Seattle is in the mix for a Wild Card and one of the reasons is Robbie Ray. Double R was 13-7 last season with a gorgeous 2.84 ERA, and he is heating up at just the right time. Ray has won four in a row and allowed only three earned runs over the last 25 innings which computes to a skinny 1.08 ERA. Charlie Morton and the Braves ain't gonna make it easy, but we're fishing for a W with the Mariners.

Las Vegas - So, apparently, people can't stop betting on Buffalo to win the Super Bowl.

Las Vegas - NFL on tap, and we're ready to pour. If you're thinking about a long term investment, take a look at the Over/Under win total for the Tampa Bay Bucs. If you can find an O/U of 11.5 wins, and there are plenty out there, we're gonna take a shot with the Under. Why? It's ALL about Tom Brady. If TB12 plays the whole season without getting hurt, then we probably tear up the ticket. However, at age 49, okay 45, his body ain't what it was 10/15/20 years ago.

Las Vegas - One college football game to close the weekend, and it's Clemson against Georgia Tech at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Dabo's Tigers opened at -19 and have jumped all the way up to -23.5. Clemson should be the side, its defense is terrific, but laying 23 and a hook with DJ Uiagaleilei at quarterback is kinda scary. Why?
