October 17 Best Bets ALDS and MNF
I went back and forth on this one all day, I really wanted to back Broncos +4, but the team is still a work in progress. It seems very risky to back the Broncos currently, with what we’ve seen from them as a whole. The Chargers have also been disappointing with their inability to stay healthy and constant battles with odd decision making from Staley regarding 4th downs. With all that being said, I am betting on the over in this one because I know I can count on both of these QB’s to score points. This total felt about 3-4 points too low. While I believe the Chargers win by a FG, I was not comfortable betting either side.

I’m backing the Yankees tonight despite them having a worse lineup and bullpen than the Guardians for game 5. Part of the reason for this is that I don’t believe MLB will allow for the Yankees to lose this series after the Dodgers, Mets, Cardinals and Braves have all lost. MLB needs the Yankees to win this game, I think the Yankees win a close game with a couple controversial calls. Astros-Yankees ALCS rematch would be sweet to watch, hopefully we get it.
