Cardinals at Cavaliers OddsShark Matchup Report

Virginia Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have consistently been one of the nation’s best defensive teams in recent years under Head Coach Tony Bennett and this year’s squad is no exception. Virginia has smothered opponents all season long ranking best in the nation in scoring defense allowing only 52.1 points per game.

The team’s current 12-game winning streak hasn’t all come against soft opponents either, with three wins over ranked opponents this month topping North Carolina, Clemson, and Duke. The win over Duke came on the road as 3.5-point underdogs.

If they keep up this level of play, the Cavaliers could reach No. 1 in the AP Top 25 Poll for the first time in 35 years. Virginia is currently ranked No. 2 with a 20-1 SU and 14-4 ATS record this season.

Louisville Cardinals

Given the circumstances swirling around Louisville basketball in the midst of major controversy and sanctions, it would have made sense for the team to suffer through a down year on the court. Instead, interim head coach David Padgett has done a good job of keeping his team focused and playing well through the program’s turmoil.

At 16-5 SU and 11-8 ATS, Louisville hasn’t been an elite team this season but has certainly been a competitive one. The Cardinals are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as an underdog with two outright upsets.

Wednesday night’s total is set at 121 points. The UNDER is 13-2 in Virginia’s last 15 games with a posted total according to the OddsShark College Basketball Database.

Louisville has looked pretty good on the road this season and is 6-2 SU and 7-1 ATS record over its last eight games. But facing one of the nation’s best and hottest teams on the road will be a tough obstacle for this group to overcome.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
