#700

Good morning,

Let’s dive in…

Developing Stories 📰

It was a great week to be a sports fan. Roger Federer has played his final match on the ATP tour. Roger played doubles with Rafael Nadal in this year’s Laver cup. It was a great way to go out for the 20-time major winning champion.

Aaron judge hits homerun #61 tying Roger Maris’ record from 1961. To see someone do this in today’s MLB is beyond impressive. Just another notch on what should be his first MVP season. With his 1-year contract ending this season I expect someone will pay him big.

Albert Pujols hits #700. We are ecstatic that Albert was able to achieve this career milestone. He is now the 4th player of al time to hit over 700 home runs in their career.

Last night the Miami Dolphins traveled to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. It was a back and forth game which, also, sadly had Tua Tagovailoa knocked unconscious and carted off the field. Teddy Bridgewater took over with a 6-7 deficit and kept the game close. Joe Burrow connect with Tee Higgins for a 59 yard touchdown. The Fins responded with a touchdown and a field goal and took the lead, 15-14. After this it was all Cinci as they scored two field goals and a touchdown to win the game 27-15. Down goes the undefeated Fish.

Weekend Picks 🔒

UCLA vs Washington: Kickoff Friday 9:30pm I like the hook here. I expect the number to drop to +3. Don’t trust Washington yet as they will face their first away game. I think it goes back and forth but remains a close game. I’m taking the points

Take UCLA +3.5

Iowa vs Michigan: Kickoff for this game is Saturday at 11am. Iowa covers against top tier teams as an underdog. They have had 15 games against top 10 teams under Kirk Ferentz they have only lost one by more than 8 points.

Take Iowa +10.5

LA Rams Vs San Francisco: Kickoff Monday 7:15. I don’t understand why the Rams aren’t favored here. Garoppolo has proven nothing. The line is already started to drop from +2.5 to +1.5. Give me the Veteran Qb.

Take Rams ML +100
