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' offense sputters in shutout loss to Angels

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.

Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.

The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.

Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.

Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.

Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.

Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.

Key moment

Peraza’s two-run single to deep right field that broke a 1-1 tie in the ninth.

Key Stat

Opponents were 5 for 44 against Abreu in August before he allowed four straight hits in the ninth.
