@Bill7 So in a game that was still 6-3 headed to the top of the 9th, the Mets got a single, an RBI double, a ground out to move the runner to third and another ground out to score the runner to make it 6-5. Which part of that was rigged?? |

No shot in hell that gets to 9.5...probably not 8.5, either if it opens at 6.5 |

Hate that type of juice, of course, but I'm confident enough in all 3 at least winning that I took it. GL!! |

@NONEED4LUCK Why not just run the clock down then and kick the FG? They didn't need a TD there |

@ActionMagnet I'm not going to try to defend Russell, but maybe the defense deserves some blame?! Sam Howell waltzes into town (doesn't exactly have an elite receiver core by ANY means) and throws for just shy of 300 yards on only 18 completions??? Brian Robinson nearly 5 YPC on the ground....how is any of that Russell's fault?? |

@CalBear2009 I didn't have action either way on that game, but WHAT exactly were you "celebrating??" A halftime lead? WHY??? I mean if you had UCLA 1st half, then I definitely get it and that's great. Otherwise you were celebrating a LEAD??? You must be really new to sports or something if that's the case. LMAO |

Every year I’ve noticed the younger generation of kids have a hard time winning on the road so are they mentally weaker?
in College Basketball That's been happening for as long as I can remember, but it does seem to get a little worse every year. I'm sure psychology plays a role in it...kids don't feel as "comfortable" on the road or get more distracted and what-not. But I have to wonder what the average FT disparity has looked like over the years. Seems like a big percentage of the calls tend to go the home team's way in just about any game I watch. Probably just gets to be too much to overcome after awhile. |

Who said anyone is laying a ton of chalk on all or even most of their prop bets? Pretty sure most people are actually looking for "value" and placing their bets accordingly. |

@OrangeCoCA Take away the bye week before the Super Bowl. Move playoffs back a week. These two teams can meet (only game) in two weeks, assuming everything else can get slid back a week (without changing Super Bowl date). Not ideal, but the most respectful and fair solution I can think of, all things considered. |

@Ilovefootballs What are you talking about?? Arizona and San Francisco haven't even played yet this year lol I lean to Zona, as well, but calling it a "gift" is a bit much |

Living in the Seattle area, the M's are a team I follow closely every year. In this particular spot (especially with weather not looking to be an issue) I think I would keep riding the over train. Mariner games have had at least 9 runs scored in all but one of their 11 contests so far, and depending on what number you use, M's games are 8-3 to the over, but two of those "losses" could at least be pushes (9 runs scored, 9.5 closing total) or even wins if you're willing to lay more chalk for a lower total, etc. Nonetheless, I think this will be the main identity of the Mariners this year -- their hitters are a nice mix of veterans with some younger guys...some pop and some speed, but the main thing I've noticed early on is their approach at the plate (something manager Scott Servais harps on). They haven't been swinging at pitches outside the zone and have been making the starters work, big time, thus getting into opposing pens fairly early. In addition to surprising early-season power, they've also drawn their share of walks, leading to continual traffic on the bases. Felix has no crowd to attempt to feed off of in this one, and he'll likely labor through 5 innings or so (if he's lucky) as he often does. The bullpen doesn't really feature any scary arms and the defense has been horrendous at times, and is not good in general. Homer Bailey is essentially the perfect "gas can" counter-part here, as well. Obviously anything can happen and Vegas and co. are slowly starting to shift M's game totals upwards, but I'll gladly take my chances here with over 9.5 -125. GL with whatever you decide. |

My .02 would be that the Baylor/Texas total just isn't high enough to justify an under. They could easily both play well on D, yet the "foul game" at the end pushes the final total to 130 or so.
Depaul just isn't trustworthy enough. I mean they are scrappy and "trying hard" and what-not, and I know the X-men aren't much on the road but I don't like asking bad teams to do good things... And Bama at Tenn to me is simply a battle of two really average teams...I don't see much value in that number either way. On the flip side really think Lou and Irish will play an up tempo game that gets somewhere in the 150's so probably like that one the best of what you have listed. GL

Under 4.5 sacks -150. I don't see a lot of pressure to begin with against those solid offensive lines...and both QBs nimble enough in the pocket.

It.s the same reason hitters don't hit home runs every at bat. That's the problem with soccer fans.....they don't understand sports. I will add to this by saying that those 20 balls hit "right at fielders" were routine ground balls and can of corn pop flies for the most part...not hard-hit line-drives that just happened to find leather (pretty big difference!!) Part of why any great pitching performance should be appreciated is the fact that in cases like this, the pitcher has such command (between the movement and/or location) of his pitches that it is very difficult for the opposing team (as THEMUGG said) to square the ball up. Granted, Baltimore swung at a lot of pitches that were not actually strikes (obviously not Kuma's fault or problem), but to have that kind of movement/location continually over the course of 9 innings and have very few hard hit balls (though remember hits can be "lucky" too!) and have the balls put in play with such a lack of authority that it makes it much easier for the fielders to make the plays is INCREDIBLY difficult to sustain -- and why no-hitters don't happen all that often. Not everyone can effectively move the ball inside and out...up and down...with a nice variety of pitches that keeps hitters guessing and off balance! Pitching is an art of sorts, and tough to master for CONSISTENT/extended stretches of time....therefore making pretty much any no-hitter an impressive feat! In short, Rostos, learn the game or STFU!! |

Do you not normally watch football or something, Tallguy? If you're gonna lose, you ALWAYS LOSE WITH YOUR BEST! I'm a Seahawks fan, too. You're a complete idiot if you really think that was the "right" thing to do in that situation! (Stupid football will get you beat faaaarrrrr more often than not!)

Tonight at spacious Safeco Field, the light-hitting Seattle Mariners take on the equally light-hitting Oakland Athletics. James Paxton has been extremely good for my M's, sporting an ERA under 2 and consistently displaying a mid 90's fastball, while local product Jason Hammel will undoubtedly be plenty motivated to pitch well in front of family and friends.
With each bullpen also among the best in the AL, I'm looking at an intense battle with wild-card implications. These two teams have been known to play quite a few low-scoring games in the recent past, and I think this one ends up in a similar 2-1 type fashion. I would recommend a play on the UNDER 7 -120 in this one. Good luck! |
