Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at Miami-Florida +9.5 points over Pittsburgh. We have seen mostly 9.5, but there are a few 10s out there if you shop carefully. Of course you can buy the hook up to +10 as well. Like the Hurricanes for a couple of reasons, not just because Pitt had a GINORMOUS win last week against Clemson. But letdown IS certainly one of the reasons.

Las Vegas - Nothing like a little rest to prepare for the old triple option. Tulsa hosts Navy and the Golden Hurricane KNOW how to keep the Midshipmen from getting off the dock. They did it last year in a 19-6 win at Annapolis. Looked at the box score from that game and the Navy had 53 rushes for 126 yards. The calculator tells me that is 2.37 yards per run. Yea, TWO POINT THREE SEVEN. That AIN'T gonna get it.

Blige is the favorite to kick off the show at 3/2. Kendrick Lamar is 5/2, Snoop Dogg is 7/2, Dr. Dre is 5/1 and Eminem is 6/1.

Las Vegas - Which Framber Valdez will we see in the World Series opener? Which way you gonna turn? Is it the amazing Framber who DOMINATED the Red Sox in game 5, allowing only 1 earned run and 3 hits over 8 innings? Or is it the lousy Framber who had trouble against the White Sox in the ALDS, allowing 7 hits and 4 earned in just 4 innings?
