Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Auburn small favorite vs. Washington in marquee Week 1 clash

The Auburn Tigers have a slim edge at the sportsbooks for Saturday afternoon in Georgia as they open their season with a tough matchup against the Washington Huskies.

The Washington Huskies are 10-0 straight up and 6-4 against the spread in their last 10 games played in the month of September. The Huskies face a tough September challenge this Saturday night as the preseason No. 6 team when they clash with the No. 9 Auburn Tigers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Washington is a 1.5-point underdog in Atlanta at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Chick-fil-A Kickoff game is being played at a technically neutral location, but the crowd figures to lean towards Auburn with its closer proximity to the school and its placement in SEC country.

Betting Line / Total: Auburn -1.5 / 48 Points

Huskies vs. Tigers OddsShark Matchup Report

Washington Huskies

The Pac-12 has some image rebuilding to do in 2018. The conference had the worst bowl performance ever for a Power 5 conference, going 1-8 SU during bowl season including Washington’s 35-28 loss against Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Huskies enter this season as one of the most talented teams in the nation, but the path to a playoff spot may require a perfect record given the current perception of the Pac-12. A win over Auburn in Georgia would certainly help in getting the conference back on track.

The Huskies are just 1-10 SU and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a betting underdog including a current run of 0-4 SU and ATS per the OddsShark College Football Database.

Auburn Tigers

Auburn’s 28-7 loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game and the 34-27 loss to UCF as 15-point favorites in the Peach Bowl that followed may make some forget just how dominant the Tigers were for most of 2017.

The Tigers went 9-1 SU and 6-2-2 ATS in their 10 games following a 14-6 September loss to Clemson, pulling off upsets over eventual playoff teams Alabama and Georgia in the process. Auburn has legitimate playoff sleeper potential and is 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in its last three games against Pac-12 opponents.

Saturday night’s total is set at 48 points. The UNDER is 7-1 in Washington’s last eight games as an underdog.

This should be an excellent matchup between two of the nation’s best teams. The loser of this game will have plenty of time to regroup and put together a strong season in conference play, but the winner will have a statement win that could even serve as a playoff tiebreaker down the road.

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...
