Las Vegas - Gonna rock the Chargers -2 points over the Browns. This is what we read from an A.P. story, word for word.
BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been playing with a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder. Mayfield suffered the injury to the non-throwing shoulder on September 19 while trying to make a tackle against the Houston Texans, and has been wearing a shoulder harness since.

Because the QB, Hendon Hooker, has completed 69% of his passes for 838 yards with 10 TDs and just 1 INT. Then it's SMU, and gonna slice the Mustangs from -13 to -3 points over Navy. The Ponies are glittering at 5-0, SMOKED the Midshipmen last season, 51-37, and it should be just as easy this time.

That's a 90% cover rate and my head is spinning in both directions. Unless a major injury pops up before the opening kickoff, think we're just gonna sit this one out.
Read MoreLas Vegas - Numbers don't lie. The Dodgers posted 106 wins and host the wild card game as a gigantic -$220 favorite. And why not. Max Scherzer is on the bump. Mad Max started twice against St. Loo this season and was electric. When he was still with the Nationals, Max started against the Cards in Washington, went six innings and did not allow an earned run. With the Dodgers, he threw against the Cardinals in St. Louis back in September, and went eight innings without allowing an earned run.
