The Sad, Sad State of the Los Angeles Lakers

It’s time. I didn’t want to do it but after watching last night’s game against the Heat, I have to address the state of the Lakers. I’m beating a dead horse but this team is so bad and things couldn’t be any worse for Laker fans.

As you know, I moved from Boston to San Diego last year. The local teams here are the Lakers and Clippers. When I was in Boston, I could only watch the Lakers when they were nationally televised. At first, I was stoked about moving and being able to watch my favorite team play every night. Sadly, things haven’t gone as expected. Well, technically, you could argue that things have gone exactly as expected.

Predicting the CFP Championship

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged so I figured I would shed some light on the last College Football game of the season. As you all know, it’s Buck vs. Duck. Oregon vs. Ohio State for all the marbles. Vegas currently has the line at Oregon -6 over Ohio State. I think that’s a pretty fair line. I do, however, see a ton of value and the play tonight seems pretty obvious.

I love Ohio State +6 here. I actually love them moneyline as well at +180 if you feel like living on the edge. I won’t get into too much detail but I will briefly explain why. The Buckeyes are simply on FIRE. They crushed Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship game and beat up on the Crimson Tide two weeks ago. I had Bama in that game – as I’m sure the rest of America did as well -- and I refuse to get burned by the Buckeyes again. Maybe that’s my pride showing but the numbers indicate this should be a relatively close game. If Ohio State doesn’t win outright, they should still cover the spread.
