Yankess vs Phillies in the World Series... Not So Fast!!

MLB Roundup:  The Yankees starting pitching is being exposed and they will face elimination on Wednesday afternoon in Game #5.  At the start of the series there were some serious prop bets having the Phillies re-matching against the Yankees in the Series this year, but the smarter money may have been on the opposite futures bet with the Giants and Rangers clearly in the driver seat.  The Phillies still have a decent shot at making that series go seven, but I will be surprised if the Rangers don't wrap this series in 6 games at home with Cliff Lee on the mound. 

NFL Early Looks:  Lots of 3 point spreads for Week #7, we like a few of them already and couple others.

Jacksonville @ Kansas City (-4.5)
The Chiefs are under-rated and will be hungry after a loss against the Texans.  They had a good chance to win against some solid teams the past two weeks and now are moving into their softer part of their schedule and could easily go on a 4-1 run in their next five games.  (Bills, Raiders, & Arizona all coming up afterwards)  The Chiefs can run the ball and play decent defense and appear to be a team who should beat the mediocre squads but will have trouble beating the elite teams.  Watch the injury reports for this one and see where the spread ends up later this week.

Cincinnati @ Atlanta (-3.5)
The Bengals are not that good as Carson Palmer is not an elite QB anymore.  Atlanta holds a solid home record over the past two seasons of 11-3 when Matt Ryan is the QB.  I see this trend continuing and like the dirty birds to bounce back after a lackluster effort against the Eagles.

Cleveland (+13.5) @ New Orleans
Cleveland should have covered against the Steelers last week if not for junk touchdown late in their game.  New Orleans isn't playing as well as the Steelers, and having to cover this many points might be a struggle against the Browns. and a surprising poise Colt McCoy.

Buffalo @ Baltimore (-13)
The Bills are the worst team in the league and going on the road to face a Ravens D - that could cover this spread on their own - is not looking promising.  Definitely like Baltimore in a Survivor pool, teaser and ATS this week.  Dare I say... an easy cover.

More to come.  D$
