Tonight’s play: Tigers ML -147 ♠️

Detroit gets the better arm with Drew Anderson (3.62 ERA; 2.58 since joining the rotation) against Jackson Kent (6.40 ERA, 1.76 WHIP).

We’ll take the starter edge at home.

#Bears Caleb Williams - Concern for hamstring. Reaction suggests high severity

If strained w/o rupture, avg ~6 wk timeline

Tendon rupture typically = season-ending

Eagles -7 leads Week 2 Average Joe picks with 92% backing, despite failing to cover last week. Public also favors Buccaneers -8.5 (87%) and Broncos -2.5 (81%). On totals, Commanders/Cowboys Over 50.5 tops with 92% on the Over.

LSU -3 ❌

We missed this one. Simple as that.

The read made sense going in. The field told a different story. We’ll break down where we got beat and make sure the lesson travels w/ us.

The loss gets recorded. The lesson gets priced into the next one. ♠️

Miami has covered the spread in SEVEN straight games 🔥

Last week, the Canes cruised to a 70-point victory, while Wake Forest battled to a double-overtime win

@BradPowers7 is leaning towards Miami -20.5 ✍️

Vikings defense since the start of 2025 on early downs:

#1 in EPA/pass vs shotgun passes

drop all the way to #17 vs under center passes

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

Bears fans, play close attention:

why the Bears MUST go under center more & use higher first down passing rates vs Flores

we start with Caleb vs Flores on early downs:

Shotgun:
-0.01 EPA/dropback
44% success
50% comp
56% pressure

Under center:
+0.28 EPA/dropback
63% success
74% comp
35% pressure

let's keep going

because this is NOT just Caleb vs Flores

LSU -3 is in. 🥃

If you can still find -2.5, take the better number. We’re on LSU either way — just don’t pay more than you have to.

Clean number. Clean ticket. Let’s see it through.

The Vikings had 5 offensive plays of 10+ yards in Week 1

#1 fewest in the NFL

The Bears allowed 10+ yards on 29% of plays in Week 1

#2 most in NFL

[Playbook @Playbook]

Today marks the 11th time this season Pete Alonso and Pete Crow-Armstrong have homered on the same day.

If you bet $100 on the Pete/Pete HR parlay every day they both played this season, you’d be up $13,926 💰

[BettorDay @Bettor_Day]

NFL teams coming off an OVERTIME game and then playing ON THE ROAD on Thursday, have gone 4-13 SU / 5-12 ATS since 2012. BUT since 2021, while going 2-5 SU, they are 4-3 ATS.

Has the market caught up & is this historically bad spot built into the spread? Recent history says yes.

[Sammy P @spshoot]

Really interesting line movement at Circa Sports. LSU QB Sam Leavitt listed "doubtful" and line goes from LSU -3 to -1 but then shoved all the way back to -3.

People don't believe Lane Kiffin.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing people that sports betting is a contest of who knows the most about sports

Nationals ML +156 ❌

Washington never gave the number a real chance and San Diego handled business, 9–2.

Bad result. Logged. Reviewed. Moving on.

The $5 → $1K Challenge takes a hit, but we’re not chasing losses. We wait for the next spot worth attacking.
