The Pulse – We Cannot Unsee Tua’s Injury, Shohei Ohtani and Bucket of Football Info (Archive)

Originally published on September 30, 2022

Another grand football weekend is upon and that will draw almost all of our attention. However, we still are thinking and will hear about Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa and NFL protocols.

Aaron Judge will be out to set the AL record for dingers and we have enough football betting information to make your head spin, yet hopefully will add to you making more cash!


About Last Night…


NFL

Cincinnati got the win and cover over Miami to take the Dolphins off the undefeated list but what everyone was thinking about was Tua Tagovailoa suffering a head injury, just four days after having something similar occur.

Given the NFL protocols for concussions, it was surprising to see Tua come back last week. It would be very amazing to see him return for a long time. At least Tagovailoa was discharged from the hospital Thursday night and flew back to Miami with the team.

NCAAF

We knew that this game meant more to Utah State than BYU Thursday, nonetheless, that was a weak showing by the Cougars who won 38-26 as 26-point home favorites.

BYU only outgained their in-state rivals by five yards in spite of a +3 turnover edge. The Cougars are at Notre Dame next Saturday.

MLB

Shohei Ohtani took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and extended his hitting streak to 14 games and he won his 15th game over Oakland 4-2. Just think what this guy has done……

He is the most complete baseball player ever.

The Buzz


NCAAF – Code of Honor and All That

In what has to be the strangest probation for recruiting violations, the NCAA placed Air Force’s football program on probation for two years and issued other penalties for recruiting violations committed during COVID-19 dead periods.

That just doesn’t sink in for a military school.

MLB – The Judge Might Go Off

With the pressure off, Aaron Judge has seven games to become the all-time American League home run hitter for a single season. The Yankees have a weekend home series against Baltimore and Judge has nine homers against the Orioles this season, the most by any player against one team in 2022.

NFL – Injuries

Reports emerged today that Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas probably won’t play in London against Minnesota. Expect the Vikings to be a rising favorite for NFL odds.

If you placed a bet on Detroit at -4, you won’t be happy to hear WR Amon-Ra St. Brown has been ruled out and RB D’Andre Swift is considered unlikely to play. That Lions spread number will for sure start dropping.

Pickleball

LeBron James, Draymond Green, Kevin Love, Drew Brees, and more are among financial backers in the Major League Pickleball. If you don’t know what this is, get with the times, it’s everywhere. Google it.

Out the Door


MLB

With last night’s win over San Diego, the Dodgers are 60 games over .500.

MLB

If you are a Cubs fan or wondered what it looked like around Wrigley Field, here is literally a bird’s eye view.


Who is Right?


Tonight’s Tulane at Houston AAC encounter has seen the total dip one point from 54 to 53. Those playing their wagers are certainly having no impact on the line movement because 75% of bets placed are on the Over. The influence is coming from the money wagered which is in the middle 50s for percent backing the Under.

What side will you be supporting on this total?

Let’s get some winners! Have a super weekend and see you back here Monday.
