Realistically, it is impossible to determine the identity of the team that the Lakers are going to trot out Thursday night. Are they Showtime reincarnate? Will they be the plodding, calculating type of team that LeBron has coveted for the last few seasons? Is LeBron going to play center? What we do know is new teams take a while the gel. On the other side, Portland has had this core for years. Kyle Cash looks at that and other aspects of this match-up to make his NBA pick.
Run and gun. Those are the words that the New Orleans Pelicans live and die by.

Can Penn State keep it together long enough to cover the 2 TD spread?

Bookies are offering the Steelers +2.5 and Kyle Cash is riding Pittsburgh here in week 6.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! It’s been five weeks since Doug Pederson was immortalized outside of Lincoln Financial Field in a statue of his famous Philly Special call. Now, restless Eagles fans have begun to question his play calling. Meanwhile, the New York Giants upset bid was ended by bomb from Carolina Kicker Graham Gano, and the Giants find themselves at the bottom of the scrap heap. Can the Giants join the Eagles in the two-win club? Sportsbooks have these two teams separated by a field goal.
