Las Vegas - Gonna throw down early in the National League and late in the American League. Dropping some love on the Brewers with Adrian Houser over the Cardinals. Houser is not on anyone's list of the best arms, but he has been rocking the party the last three times out, allowing only 3 earned runs over 18 innings for a gorgeous 1.50 ERA.
Las Vegas - Andrew Luck retires and it creates a mini-tsunami here in Vegas. Start out with the Colts odds to win the Super Bowl, which opened at 15/1, and with NO Andrew, plummeted all the way to 50/1. On the totals board, Indy opened with an over/under of 9.5 wins, and you can shave three off the total which dropped to 6.5. And for week one, the Chargers opened at -3.5 points at home, then when Luck announced, the game was taken off the board.

Las Vegas - Looked over the baseball card, and nothing was really calling my name. So, it's across the pond to scope out a Premier League match between Tottenham and Newcastle United. The Spurs are a YUGE favorite, but think they are worth a bite. Why? How about the fact that the Hotspur have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League home games.

Las Vegas - John Harbaugh was on the way to 3-0, then there was LIGHTNING. The Eagles- Ravens game was suspended at 11:53 of the 4th quarter, which made the game a wash. The standing rule is, a game must go 55 minutes for it to be official. That woulda been a 3-0 preseason perfecto for Harbaugh, but Baltimore bettors had to settle for a refund instead. And of course, every loyal Philly bettor that dropped cash on the Birds was THRILLED!!!

Las Vegas - On the baseball board, while the Tigers have become the DARLINGS of all the sportsbooks here in Vegas and around the world, don't think they're gonna be able to solve Jose Berrios at home in Minnesota. Bet the game last night at around -$230 when Boyd was the listed starter for Detroit, but they have changed to VerHagen, and the line jumped to -$320. Still like the Twinkies, but will scale down the wager.
