Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Los Angeles FC road underdog on MLS betting lines facing the Galaxy

The two Los Angeles clubs clash in one of this weekend’s top MLS matches on Saturday, with the Galaxy set as the betting favorites at the sportsbooks for the game.

Los Angeles FC has never lost as it has gone 2-0 through the first two games of its franchise’s existence. The club would love to continue its winning ways and win the first game of what figures to be a long-time rivalry with the cross-town Los Angeles Galaxy.

Los Angeles FC is a +260 road underdog in Carson at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Galaxy are going off at -105 to win on their home pitch with odds to draw paying +270. As LAFC awaits the completion of its stadium in downtown Los Angeles, the team is set to play its first six games of the year on the road. That hasn’t been an issue for the expansion club thus far as they upset Seattle 1-0 and Salt Lake 5-1 in their first two games.

After finishing last season at the bottom of the table with 18 losses and a record of 8-18-8, the Galaxy are hoping to quickly rebound into postseason contention and prevent their new cross-town rival from gaining traction in the city. The Galaxy made a big splash last week with the signing of international superstar Zlaten Ibrahimovic. The Swedish star trained with the team Friday and could make his MLS debut against Los Angeles FC on Saturday.

The two clubs that met in last year’s MLS Cup are still in search of their first points in the 2018 season. Toronto FC and the Seattle Sounders are both off to 0-2-0 starts this year and neither has recorded a goal through their first two games. The clubs will try to turn things around as home favorites this Saturday as Toronto FC (-205) hosts Real Salt Lake (+575 to win, +335 to draw) and Seattle (-155) takes on the Montreal Impact (+400 to win, +290 to draw). Toronto FC is the +450 favorite on the 2018 MLS Cup odds.

Atlanta United has bounced back from a 4-0 road loss to the Houston Dynamo in their opening game to crush D.C. United 3-1 and Vancouver 4-1 in their last two games at home. On Saturday, Atlanta will try to carry this momentum on the road to win away from its excellent home crowd as +105 favorites visiting Minnesota United (+235 to win, +260 to draw).

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...
