NFL Monday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Eagles (-) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ 7:15 ET - The current dominant number on this one is 5 though you might find a stray 4.5 out there - at least as of very early game day morning. This is a battle of early season unbeatens and the Eagles have started at least 3-0 (last season started 8-0), 3 times in the past 9 seasons. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, has not gone 3-0 in nearly TWO decades as you have to go all the way back to 2005. The Bucs have been around since 1976 - nearly a HALF century - and yet they only have started a season 3-0 THREE times! As you can see with historical odds like this, the Eagles certainly are the likely team to win this SU but what about the all-important cover? Well, Philly has 9 straight wins by 5 or more points and 15 of last 17 by 5 or more points. So 5 may not seem like a key number but it has been for the Eagles and, either way, look for a win by at least a TD in this one. Tampa Bay's last 7 SU losses have all come by 6 or more. The Eagles are so strong in the trenches on both sides of the ball and that will be key here. Also, imagine you are starting a team would you rather have Jalen Hurts at QB or Baker Mayfield? That is no disrespect to the latter but I have a feeling he is going to get a reality check this week against a tough Eagles defensive line that will pressure the hell out of him. Also, Sirianni is now 25-11 SU in regular season NFL as a head coach while Bowles is 36-50 SU as a head coach. The Eagles also have the rest edge after playing on Thursday last week so they have had extra time off compared to TB as the Bucs beat the Bears Sunday. The Eagles and Buccaneers have each played the Vikings this season. The Bucs were outgained 369 to 242 by Minny. Philly outgained Minnesota 430 to 374. In other words, the D numbers were similar but the Eagles offense put up nearly 200 yards more than TB. The Bucs are a decent team but they are over-rated right now. Philly is a Super Bowl contender. Lay it! 10* PHILADELPHIA (-) the points |

MLB Monday 10* Top Play OVER 9 in Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers @ 9:38 ET - The Angels lineup is definitely not what it once was but they will take advantage of facing a struggling hurler today. Jon Gray is having a horrible September and it has been so bad he has not been able to work deep into starts and that could put pressure on the Rangers bullpen arms here after hanging on by a thread in yesterday's 9-8 win. Speaking of bad Septembers, that is also the case with Patrick Sandoval. That being said, there is a lot of value with the over in this one. Of course the Rangers are a big money line favorite here for a reason and they are a solid favorite at 1.5 runs on the run line for a reason too! I expect a 6-4 type game here at a minimum as the result. Note that Texas has allowed at least 4 runs in 6 of last 7 games. Also, the posted total on this game is 9 runs and 11 of the Rangers last 14 games have totaled at least 9 runs with 10 of those 11 getting to double digits! Texas has scored an average of 8 runs during their current 5-game winning streak. Even though the Angels are simply playing out the string on a tough season, they have had won 2 of 4 before yesterday's loss and, other than a 1-0 win in their five most recent games, LA did average 5 runs scored in the other 4 games. Given the pitching match-up and the current status of these two bullpens, both lineups should enjoy plenty of success here. 10* OVER 9 in Los Angeles Angels |

Rotation #206893: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +115 in Rapid Bucuresti vs CFR Cluj @ 2 ET - CFR Cluj off a 1-0 win and Rapid coming off a 0-0 draw in Galati. Rapid and CFR Cluj are two of the better clubs in the league and, after matches like that last week, goals will be the story here in this week's match-up! Remember that CFR Cluj had won the week prior by a 4-1 count and that was on the road and Rapid had won the week prior by a 4-0 count! With CFR Cluj on the road again and Rapid hosting here in Bucuresti, those high-scoring ways will resume. Both clubs are scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. CFR Cluj has just 1 draw in 8 matches. That is another key as to why I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here. Each club will score at least one goal and the match will not end in a draw. The odds, and situation, favor all this in this one for Monday. 10* OVER 2.5 +115 in Rapid Bucuresti |
