If the Steelers’ three-game losing streak becomes four, there will be panic in Pittsburgh. That’s why Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys is more important for the home favorite.
Betting
The Blue Devils, featuring five players who are potential first-round NBA draft picks after this season, are 7-2 favorites to win the national championship in April.
NFL action never disappoints. Three games were decided by one point. Two games were decided by two points. One game went to overtime.
The most anticipated game of Week 1 of the NFL preseason arrives Saturday, when the Rams host the Cowboys before a crowd of around 90,000 at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Bookmakers always hope for upsets, and this March, it’s not just wishful thinking. There certainly are going to be shockers, and there probably will be a No. 2 or a No. 3 seed go down. What we are witnessing now is a preview of the real madness.
While the winning quarterback went to Disneyland, the loser was tossed in a dumpster. Cam Newton will find out how difficult it is to bounce back from a Super Bowl defeat, especially after he was trashed by critics for immature antics.
Never is it easy to call for a coach’s job, especially when he’s a two-time Super Bowl winner. Tom Coughlin has put himself and the New York Giants in a tough spot, however, and there’s no doubt his job is on the line.
When the Philadelphia Eagles are winning, coach Chip Kelly is a genius and an innovator. When the losses pile up, he’s an arrogant egomaniac who annoys everyone with his fast talking and micromanaging.
If something seems like a bad idea at the time, don’t gamble and do it anyway. Spitting into the wind, swimming with piranhas, betting against an angry Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. All bad ideas, obviously.
Egotistical and innovative, Chip Kelly does things his way. He’s an outside-the-box thinker, which means a lot of people initially disagree with the way he does things.
With three minutes on the clock, Ben Roethlisberger held the football and the fates of millions of gamblers in his hands. There was only one reason to keep watching. The point-spread decision was in the air.
Obviously, it’s cool to be hip and trending. Most people would prefer that as opposed to being hated and vilified. But there is a danger in becoming too popular, and Bubba Watson is walking that proverbial tightrope this week.
MGM Resorts sports book director Jay Rood said the UFC interim featherweight title fight between Conor McGregor and Chad Mendes on Saturday drew strong two-way action. McGregor opened at minus-130 and closed as a 2-1 favorite.
At the drive-thru window, it’s not always wise to super-size the drink and fries. Sometimes, it’s smarter to go smaller. In this case, the Golden State Warriors shoved aside the 7-footer and went with Andre Iguodala.
Maybe the price tag attached to Jon Lester was too high, but that’s irrelevant. It’s only money, and the Chicago Cubs have plenty more of it. Timing is what matters, and in this case it’s perfect.
