Bulldogs at Tigers OddsShark Matchup Report

LSU Tigers

It is crazy to see just how much the public perception of a team can change on a week-to-week basis. LSU climbed to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 with a 5-0 SU and 3-2 ATS start that included impressive upset wins over Miami and Auburn.

But after a 27-19 road loss to the Florida Gators, LSU was dropped down to No. 13 and made a 7-point home underdog to the Georgia Bulldogs last Saturday. Considered an SEC afterthought before that game, LSU crushed Georgia 36-16 to jump back up to No. 5, and suddenly the Tigers are Alabama’s biggest obstacle in the SEC West.

With the win over Georgia, LSU improved to 7-0 SU and ATS over its last seven games per the OddsShark College Football Database.

Mississippi State Bulldogs

Mississippi State has had a similar one-week resurgence in its last game. After seeing dual-threat quarterback Nick Fitzgerald and the Mississippi State offense totally neutralized in a 28-7 loss to Kentucky and a 13-6 loss to Florida, the Bulldogs fell from No. 14 in the nation to out of the Top 25.

But with 195 rushing yards and two touchdowns, Fitzgerald led the Bulldogs to a 23-9 win over then No. 8 Auburn to move to 15-6 SU over their last 21 games.

Saturday’s total is set at 45 points. The UNDER is 5-0 in Mississippi State’s last five games against SEC opponents.

This should be a great game between two of the nation’s top defensive teams. LSU has the home field advantage, but the Bulldogs enter the game with the best scoring defense in the nation allowing only 12.7 points per game and have had a bye week to prepare for this one. Both offenses will have their work cut out for them on Saturday.

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...
