Very fast recap of the disaster last week. Keeping this short and sweet. No need to elaborate when your 11 year old daughter could pick better games blind and high on candy.

3 Team 10 point teaser (L)

Pats +1  Fire Brady

Texans +4.5 Fire Everyone.

Auburn +15.5 Never mattered because the Texans suck and Brady is now 1,562-2 at home in the regular season vs the AFC.

Nebraska/Oregon OVER 68.5 Never in doubt. (W)

Wisconsin – 20 1st half vs Florida Atlantic. Wisconsin sucked. (L)

Giants +4 @ Dallas Can’t cap ODB not playing and the Cowboys RB situation. My fault. (L)

YTD Record (2-6) (-$205) WE WILL REBUILD. 

3 Team 10 point teaser. (Risking $60 to win $50)

Baltimore +2 The Browns can not move the ball against this defense.

Oakland -3.5 The Jets are a joke.

Denver +12.5 Give me a live home dog + double digits. 

Risking $55 to win $50

Baltimore/Cleveland Under 39– Games tend to stay under when the AFC North squares off. Cleveland should really struggle to score.

USC/Texas Over 67– Both teams can score points. If Texas can get to 21 I think this goes over.

Texas Tech/Arizona St Over 76– (2 UNITS) Risking $110 to win $100. This game could get into the 100’s. Texas Tech has scored 50 or more points in 11 of their last 13 home games. Last years score was 68-55. This will be our first 2 unit play of the year.

I might add one more on Saturday. Fade at your own will.

Last week I mentioned dogs that cover in the NFL usually win the game more times than not. Meaning the points never come into play. Last week that idea went 4-1- the Jags, Lions, Raiders, and Chiefs all covered and won straight up. The only dog to cover last week and not win was the Browns. The Chargers and Bears pushed- depending on your closing number.

Astros end four-game slide with power and timely hitting

The Houston Astros head to Camden Yards on Thursday looking to snap a four-game skid as they face the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth matchup of the season. After being outscored by 37 runs in their last 10 games, Houston is hoping to regain the offensive spark that carried them through much of the season. Jeremy Peña has been a bright spot, batting .310 with 21 doubles and 13 home runs, while Carlos Correa has contributed a hot streak recently, going 11-for-37 with a home run and four RBIs over his last 10 games.

On the mound, the Astros will turn to Jason Alexander (3-1, 4.74 ERA), who has shown flashes of effectiveness but will need to limit the long ball against a Baltimore squad that thrives when opponents fail to homer. Brandon Young (1-6, 5.68 ERA) takes the hill for the Orioles, who are 27-14 this season in games when they haven’t allowed a home run. Gunnar Henderson leads the Orioles offensively with a .281 average, 29 doubles, and 15 homers, while Ryan Mountcastle has added some recent firepower, going 12-for-39 with two home runs over the last 10 games.

Baltimore comes in 6-4 over its last 10 with a 2.48 ERA, outscoring opponents by 15 runs, while Houston is 4-6 over the same span with a .193 team batting average and 5.92 ERA.

A win in Camden Yards could be exactly what Houston needs to stabilize its lineup and pitching staff.

Betting odds

BETMGM SPORTSBOOK LINE: Orioles -112, Astros -107; over/under is 9 runs

Roster Moves

Houston announced four roster moves on Thursday. Taylor Trammell heads to the IL, Brice Matthews has been recalled, JP France completed his rehab and heads to Sugar Land, and Jordan Weems will go to Triple A as well.

Astros lineup

The first thing we notice is that Cam Smith is getting the night off. Espada appears to be shaking things up by not having two slumping players (Jesus Sanchez & Smith) in the lineup at the same time.

There's nothing new with the top 3 hitters, except Altuve will play second base. Christian Walker (1B) will hit cleanup, followed by the slumping Sanchez (RF), Yainer Diaz (DH), Victor Caratini (C), Mauricio Dubon (LF), and Jacob Melton (CF).
