NCAAF Odds: Oklahoma, Tennessee Face Off in Biggest Match of Week 2
There might be a lot of cupcakes on the Week 2 college football schedule, but there will be no pastry on display this Saturday (6:00 PM ET) when the No. 23 Tennessee Volunteers welcome the No. 19 Oklahoma Sooners to Neyland Stadium. Tennessee is a 1.5-point underdog at press time.
One Volunteer who won't be showing up is starting defensive tackle Danny O'Brien. He's been suspended for an undisclosed violation of team rules, and head coach Butch Jones won't say when O'Brien will be allowed back. Safety LaDarrell McNeil will also miss Saturday's game with a neck injury, although he could return for Week 3 against Western Carolina.
While this is considered a rebuilding year for the Vols, they'll be dangerous against Oklahoma. The Sooners have fallen behind Baylor in the Big 12 pecking order and have turned for help to new offensive co-ordinator Lincoln Riley, who’s “Air Raid” attack produced a 41-3 victory over the Akron Zips in the season opener. Baker Mayfield, the former starting quarterback at Texas Tech, looked very good against Akron and could have a repeat performance against Tennessee's thinned-out defense.
MLB: Mets Building NL East Lead at Washington's Expense
The New York Mets can put even more distance between themselves and the Washington Nationals when they play the finale of a three-game series this Wednesday (7:00 PM ET) in DC. The Mets won Monday's opener 8-5 to cash in as +190 road dogs and open up a five-game lead in the NL East.
These are two of baseball's best pitching staffs, and it should be another excellent matchup Wednesday night between New York's Jacob deGrom (2.87 FIP) and Washington's Stephen Strasburg (3.35 FIP). However, the Nats have failed to generate any profit with Strasburg on the hill, dropping 0.49 units on a record of 10-8. The Mets, on the other hand, are 17-9 behind deGrom for 5.46 units in earnings.
Washington's chances of catching up to the Mets took a hit two weeks ago when outfielder Denard Span (.796 OPS) was shut down for the year with an inflamed hip labrum. Meanwhile, New York has welcomed both third baseman David Wright (.773 OPS) and catcher Travis d'Arnaud (.913 OPS) back to the lineup since the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. The Mets are 9-5 since Wright's first game back, while the Nats are also 9-5 over the same span.
