Those who saw the San Diego State Aztecs in their week one flop to Stanford might find this hard to believe… Their defense has really been the key part of this 4-game win streak! Will they have enough resistance to cover the 10 spot versus Army? Loot Levinson is your handicapper with the analysis.
The Arizona Wildcats are in Salt Lake City on Friday for a Pac-12 Conference matchup against the Utah Utes. Both teams were successful in-conference last week. Arizona was able to beat Cal at home, 24-17, as a big second half enabled them to get the win as well as the cover. Utah is also starting to show signs of a competitor, coming off one of the more surprising results in a 40-21 road win over Stanford. Which 3 win team is most equipped to handle an ATS win in week 7? Loot Levinson breaks down the game and gives his football prediction.
UFC 229 includes the biggest career fights for both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. But I suppose every next fight is your biggest when you have an undefeated record like Khabib or the legacy of Conor. With big sporting events comes big prop bet menus. Loot Levinson breaks down the prop markets that almost every sportsbook should be offering.
Deontay Wilder defends his WBC World Heavyweight Title against former Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury in Los Angeles on December 1. This is a huge fight to end the year. Sportsbooks are flirting with making Wilder a 2-1 favorite. He currently sits at -175.
Last season, the Niners were flat on their backs until Jimmy G showed up and immediately put the Niners on the right path. Without him, it’s only fair to wonder if we’ll see the same team we saw early last season. Sportsbooks are hanging a -10 on the Chargers. For those of us who backed San Fran last year, it doesn’t feel like enough. Do the Chargers have the killer instinct to put a hobbled Niner team down?
Poor QB play has made the Cardinals’ cast ineffective. David Johnson is sitting at 116 yards rushing and hasn’t made an impact. Larry Fitzgerald is at 113 yards. Young ball-catchers and former Texas A&M products Christian Kirk and Ricky Seals-Jones are nice weapons, but there is nothing nice about 20 points of scoring through three games. Will the birds’ offense remain grounded on Sunday? Loot makes his NFL pick.
Online sportsbooks have the Raiders -2.5. Many people will look at this game and measure the teams against their expectations, as opposed to the match up against each other. By an expectations-standard, the Browns have been far-better than the Raiders, but are they better than the Raiders overall? That’s a trickier question. Let’s try to answer that question and make our pick.
Cal is off to a nice 3-0 start. Wins over UNC and certainly Idaho St. don’t get the blood pumping, but a win over a BYU team that beat Wisconsin on the road the following week puts a different light on Cal football. Can they take out an Oregon team that’s favored by a field goal?
Two 3-1 teams go at it Saturday, September 29, 2018 when the BYU Cougars visit the Washington Huskies. Unfortunately for BYU that record may be where the similarities in these two teams end. Sportsbooks list BYU as 17 to 18 point underdogs. Loot breaks down the match up to project who covers Saturday night.
Loot Levinson warns against overreacting to the Cowboys loss or the beatdown the Lions placed upon the New England Patriots. Loot analyzes the state of both teams and who will cover the spread in week 4.
