The USC Trojans spent many years dominating the Pac-12, but it’s been Stanford and Oregon who have taken control over the past few seasons. The question now is whether or not new leader Steve Sarkisian can bring this program back to prominence, and if he can, will it happen in his first season roaming the sidelines as head coach?
The NFL teams have gotten their mini-camps underway, giving us our first look at the newest NFLers in their team colors. With odds already out for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, we have an opportunity to make some money on the backs of these players.
The start of the 2014 NFL season is still a ways away, but lines are already available as far out as Week 16 (lines aren’t yet set for Week 17 because it’s too early to predict whether teams will have something to play for, making those lines too difficult to set).
The Giants have been struggling big time and this week is going to be tough with 4 games against the A’s, these first two on the road followed by two at home. They dropped the opener last night showing little life – they have now lost 7 of their last 10.
You have to love a series between teams that are a half-game apart in the same division. Pittsburgh and St. Louis are currently scrapping it out for second place in the NL Central, fighting for the distinction of being in pole position to chase the upstart Milwaukee Brewers.
On the season the Dodgers have an Over/Under record of 44-42 and a run-line W/L record of 48-43 and the Tigers have an Over/Under record of 47-34 and a run-line W/L record of 38-47.
The Los Angeles Angles host the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of their series at Angel Park on Tuesday night.
With the injury to Neymar it now looks like Argentina is the best choice to continue the streak of South American teams winning the World Cup on their home continent.
The Arizona Wildcats are entering their third season under head coach Rich Rodriguez, and they’re making strides toward improvement, having gone 8-5 overall and 4-5 in the Pac-12 both years.
The California Golden Bears are not a good football team. Sorry to be so blunt with fans of Berkeley, but there’s no nice way of saying that this group was not a contender in 2013, and it’s going to be one in 2014.
The Colorado Buffaloes are a ways a way from being competitive in the Pac-12. That was evidenced when they went 4-8 overall last season, and it’s even clearer when you look at their 1-8 record in conference play – a record bad enough for a last-place standing in the Pac-12 South Division.
The Oregon State Beavers are coming off of a 2013 college football season that saw them go 4-5 in conference play, while posting a 7-6 record overall. Recapping the year that was, simply put: It was a roller coaster.
The MLB season marches on. The teams have begun to show us what they have to offer, but there’s still a long way to go in a season that’s a marathon, not a sprint. With that said, it’s these opinions we formulate that will decide whether this season will be a profitable one for us or not.
The Yankees snapped out of their funk and won 3 of 4 at Minnesota over the weekend. Heading into Monday they are tied with Toronto in the loss column but still a couple of games back.
The visiting Jays are hoping to right the ship in Southern California after a four-game sweep at the hands of the AL West-leading Oakland Athletics. Between a slate of injuries and uninspired play, it hasn’t been a good road trip for Toronto; it doesn’t help that the teams in California are currently on a roll.
The Washington Nationals host the Baltimore Orioles on Monday in the opening game of a four-game series that will see the teams make the trip over to Baltimore midway through. Both teams have been in fine form of late, which should lead to an entertaining series.
