LAS VEGAS –??Many sad news. After hitting on a 4-0 PERFECTO final week, then we all pushed the record to 12-1 (92 percent ) for the previous 3 columns. Managed to take Mrs. Ecks & most of the small Bacons into a high-end buffet here in Vegas. No $2.99 surf & turf for the own team. However, the Mrs. educated me once I hit my goal of 90 percent??winners, it is time to hang around the wallet. This will be it for me, kids. Ciao.
Only kidding!
Gonna hoop it up tonight and throw a two-team, 6-point teaser . Take Iona from -12 down to -6 against Stetson, and YES, they are the HATTERS! Go west and bulge Temple upward .
On Saturdays college football background, kick it with SMU +3.5 over Navy. Teams have NO idea how to play with the triple option that the Midshipmen use but the Mustangs really do. They conquer Navy year??31-30, covering as a 6-point underdog.
Last year was the first at SMU for head coach Sonny Dykes, and 5-7 is not exactly what he wanted. In his second year, the Ponies from Texas have accumulated a overall record.?? And the album has been built on the arm of QB Shane Buechele. The move from the Longhorns is tied with 28 TDs and his 3,195 passing yards to the AAC lead make him the top dog from the league.
However, Shane aint the gem on this team. They also possess an RB, Xavier Jones, who has gobbled up 1,063 rushing yards already and has 18 rushing TDs. And how about WR James Proche, that LEADS the NATION with 8.8 grabs per match. That the Mustangs have an excessive amount of firepower and ought to ride back into Dallas with an easy cover, maybe even a straight-up moneyline W., although navy is not easy
Gon na throw some love and a few money at Lovie Smith and also Illinois +16 points against Iowa.
We put on the gloves and step in the ring for the Deontay Wilder/Luis Ortiz fight. Even the Bronze Bomber, or deontay, is a YUGE favorite at -700, and we are not gonna litter with this noise. But, we will take a round toss a few green to Wilder to triumph at the first round at 16-to-1, and brace.
Roll over to the NFL and grab the Lions -3 points across the Redskins. Section of the winner last week has been making fun of Detroit QB Jeff Driskel. Driskel made me sweat thru a few shirts before the Cowboys posted a 35-27 W.
His arm is and his thighs are astonishing. He was 27 of 46 for 269 yards against the Bears, then followed it up with 15 of 26 for 209 yards against Dallas. He juked and slipped from theBoys and 37 vs??Chicago. Sonow, Double V IS a buff.
He looks hungry and, even though having a 3-6-1 record, the locker room has not been missed by Matt Patricia . And if Matt P. calls his old manager, Bill Belichick, he will probably get some primo info about the best way best to confuse and frustrate a rookie QB.
Not shooting any poison arrows at Dwayne Haskins, however he has more than twice as many INTs (5)??as TDs (two ). Later Washington was at a hole into the Jets, so no 22, and those 2 TDs came in garbage time. One thing to say, and you know what it really is. This IS my BEST BET
