The Chargers were looking golden when ahead 17-7 in the third quarter. Kansas City came back to tie the game 17-all but the Chargers were right going into score when Justin Herbert ended up throwing a 99-yard Pick Six.
Upon closer examination, Herbert expected the receiver to come inside and he didn’t and Jaylen Watson ran right into the interception.
This is not an excuse, but the receiver, Gerald Everett had just made a nice catch and run and wanted out of the game because of fatigue and he was waved back in, likely because the Chargers didn’t want K.C. to substitute. Everett was so gassed, that he didn’t make a play on the ball or go after the interceptor.
Chargers bettors got some solace with Herbert’s last TD drive to convert the spread, but they better hope Hebert didn’t injure himself worse by keep playing.
With the White Sox (-144 odds) hitting 5 home runs in a makeup game at Cleveland, they and Minnesota moved to within four games in the loss column of the front-running Guardians. Minnesota has massive five-game series in Cleveland, realistically needing to win four, while Chicago needs to sweep Detroit on the road.
Connecticut destroyed the Las Vegas Aces with a royal flush in their 105-76 beatdown as one-point home favorites. The Sun will attempt to force Game 5 and are a Pick as you read this.
Another tennis legend is hanging up the sneakers as Roger Federer is retiring. His fantastic career was about grace and skill from another era and he was always the gentleman with an assassin’s touch. (On the court)
For Week 2 we will examine the Packers at the Bears and other key divisional matchups. In addition, we have Best Bets, Last Chance Value Picks, Top Parlay Picks and sharp player props.
Should Washington be a 3.5-point home favorite over Michigan State? Will Texas A&M be able to rebound against the Miami Hurricanes this week? We’ll evaluate those and other matchups along with our Best Bets and Last Chance Value Picks for another exciting week of college football.
The regular season is dwindling, but baseball bettors are still very active and we have top picks for money line, run line, and totals for all weekend long.
Review all our top plays for this weekend and see if you agree.
Note: Review all our popular prop plays in all the sports.
The “JAGUUAARS” (from Dan Patrick SportsCenter days)
Jacksonville is 5-30 SU in their past 35 games and three of those victories have come against division rival Indianapolis when playing in North Florida. Guess where the Colts are playing this week as 3.5-point road favorite?
For Week 2 we have four double-digit home favorites which seems like a lot. We are not saying the betting odds are not justified, but that is some heavy lumber this early in the season. Can’t say we would be shocked if two didn’t cover.
And for good measure, five other NFL odds are presently at 2.5 or lower.
The earliest line between Michigan State at Washington had the Spartans favored at -1 to -3 depending on the top-rated sportsbooks. After both teams played one time, the Huskies were -1 and currently, they are -3.5 or -4.
For those interested, the Spartans were 4-0 SU and ATS last year as single-digit dogs.
Baltimore opened at -4 and is down to -3.5 at home against Miami. The Ravens will face Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle with three of their projected cornerbacks injured. Just sayin’.
Though we are lacking in true big-time matchups for Week 3, here is what this handicapper will be following closely.
Fresno State is off a gut wrenching last play loss to Oregon State and has to travel to L.A. to face USC. The Bulldogs normally play well against the Pac-12 and give opponents fits, yet, one has to at least wonder if that will be the case this week.
The line has moved to Fresno State’s favor from +14 to +10.5. Here is the rub, 80% of bets made support the Men of Troy and almost 80% of the cash is on the Bulldogs.
Where will you be down on this West Coast encounter?
Let’s get some winners! Have a terrific weekend and see you back here Wednesday
