This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. This is a tough spot for Tampa Bay based on the starting pitching matchup. The Dodgers took a 2-1 series lead after taking two of three from the Rays top three aces and now they get to face the Rays bullpen game rather than one of those big three. Actually, those three Rays starters put up an 8.78 ERA in their three starts, and none made it out of the fifth inning so essentially, Tampa Bay has already had three bullpen games. Ryan Yarbrough will be asked to pitch the bulk of the early innings and he is in a very tough spot here against potent Dodgers lineup. Julio Urias last started on Oct. 14, nine days ago, where he lasted five innings and 101 pitches, which made him ready to pitch three scoreless innings to close out Game Four. He has given up only one earned run in 16 innings this postseason, he is fully rested, and he is in the perfect position to put the Dodgers a win away from a title. The Rays are 2-5 in their last seven games against starters with a WHIP less than 1.15 while the Dodgers are 45-18 in their last 63 games following a win. 10* (957) Los Angeles Dodgers

Liberty is off to a 5-0 start to the season, its best since joining the FBS. The Flames have won seven straight games overall and eight straight home contests at Williams Stadium. They are led by a stout defense as they are ranked No. 4 in total defense and No. 10 in scoring defense. The Flames have recorded seven takeaways in the last three games, leading to 38 points.Southern Mississippi is playing for the first time in three weeks, following COVID-19 related postponements of its last two games (vs. Florida Atlantic and UTEP). The Golden Eagles are 1-3 with the lone win coming against lowly North Texas and that is a distant memory. The Southern Mississippi coaching situation is a mess as Scott Walden tested positive earlier this week and will not make the trip. He was named interim head coach in September after Jay Hopson resigned from the post just one game into the 2020 season. Tim Billings will lead the team against the Flames, and he will be dealing with a team that has not had a full component of players because of the virus. Here, we play against road teams outscored by opponents by 10 or more ppg, after two straight games where 70 total points or more were scored. This situation is 35-11 ATS (76.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. Play (384) Liberty Flames

This is a play on the LSU TIGERS for our CFB Saturday Star Attraction. South Carolina is coming off an upset win against Auburn to improve to 2-2 on the season. Auburn had 27-20 first down and 481-297 yardage advantage but had three costly turnovers that led to three South Carolina touchdowns. The only other win came against lowly Vanderbilt. LSU is just 1-2 with the only win coming against that same Vanderbilt team but this is a great situational spot. The Tigers are coming off a bye week following a loss at Missouri in a game that was supposed to be a home one but had to be moved because of the hurricane. The run defense has not been a major problem in 2020. It is the pass defense that is the issue. The Tigers currently rank No. 20 in run defense. On offense, LSU absolutely must run the ball. That starts with the Tigers getting back one of their best overall players in offensive guard Ed Ingram. But the Tigers also need to throw the football early in the game to prove to South Carolina it cannot just stay in an aggressive defensive front. The Gamecocks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game while the Tigers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. 9* (362) LSU Tigers

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PANTHERS for our CFB Saturday Ultimate Underdog. Notre Dame is off to a great start but the four teams it has beaten are a combined 3-16 against FBS teams this year. The Irish have played their first four games at home, so this is the first time they have travelled. While the Panthers have dropped three straight games following a 3-0 start, they feature one of the best pass rushes in the nation and have developed a habit under sixth-year head coach Pat Narduzzi of pulling off the occasional stunner. A pair of one-point losses to North Carolina St. and Boston College cooled the early momentum and you know the Panthers will be fired up with Notre Dame making the visit. It is a pass-heavy offense, with Pittsburgh averaging 39.3 pass attempts per game and this will be the second start for Joey Yellen at quarterback over an injured Kenny Pickett. Yellen through for 277 yards last week. The Fighting Irish are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game while the Panthers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. 9* (318) Pittsburgh Panthers

This is a play on the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS for our CFB Saturday Enforcer. Florida St. is coming off an upset win against North Carolina last week, but it had 11 fewer first downs and was outgained by 126 total yards. The Seminoles are now 2-3 and the only time they have won the yardage battle came against Jacksonville St. of the FCS. Tackling effectively has been such an issue in their losses, especially when a team like Notre Dame ran right through them in the opening half. Louisville is off to a disappointing 1-4 start but played Notre Dame and Pittsburgh extremely tough, losing by a combined eight points, and actually outgained Miami in its first loss of the season. The Cardinals have not been as explosive as expected so the margin of error for the Cardinals is slim, and it is not helping it with penalties and negative plays. If Louisville can finally win the turnover margin, something it has yet to do this season, it gives itself a good chance to snap its losing streak. The Seminoles are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games off an upset win as an underdog while the Cardinals are 4-0 ATS in their last four games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. 9* (314) Louisville Cardinals

This is a play on the WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS for our CFB ACC Game of the Year. Virginia Tech is off to a 3-1 start, but it is just +51 in total yards in those four games. The Hokies are coming off a 40-14 win over Boston College, but they won the yardage battle by only 26 points but benefitted from a +5-turnover differential. Wake Forest is 2-2 and has arguably played better than that. The Demon Deacons have won two straight games following an opening loss against Clemson and then a three-point loss against NC State. The Wake Forest defense came out of the halftime locker room and executed its adjustments to hold Virginia to three second-half points last week. After struggling defensively in games against Clemson and NC State, it was more of the same in the first half against Virginia, which used three different quarterbacks. The Demon Deacons will do all they can to prevent the comfort of normalcy. While the Hokies forced five turnovers by the Eagles, Wake Forest has committed one all season. The Hokies are 7-23 ATS in their last 30 games as a road favorite while the Demon Deacons are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. 10* (324) Wake Forest Demon Deacons
