Week 9 Picks Against the Spread

The NBA season has just begun, but there is already so much to talk about.

I Got Tickets to Last Year’s Super Bowl. Here’s How I Did It.
Imagine my horror, watching my beloved Philadelphia Eagles crush the heavily-favored Minnesota Vikings to advance to their first Super Bowl in 14 years. No, I was not upset because they had pulled off the unlikely upset, I was overjoyed about that.

On Sunday, October 28, 2018, we witnessed history. WWE held its first ever all women pay per view. I'm not going to lie, leading up to the event I felt the WWE dropped the ball a bit. They had such a big opportunity to make this huge and deliver some fantastic matches, but they chose to go with things like Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella or a 20-woman battle royale.
Amanda RaifmanPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedThoughts on the NBA Season so Far
Last night, another ho hum night in the NBA-—a Monday night no less that usually should be dominated by Monday Night Football (Patriots-Bills was a snooze fest), Klay Thompson decided he was going to go absolutely bonkers and set the record for three pointers made in a game. After starting the season shooting 5/36 from three, Klay decided to hell with that and shot 14/24 from three last night for 52 points and breaking his teammates' record (Steph Curry that is) for threes in a game. So much for a slump. In the first half alone, again the FIRST HALF, he was 10/14 from three with 36 points. Casual. Oh, and the half time score read like this:

Christian CevallosPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedIt's James Conner Time in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers, led by James Conner, won Sunday 33-18 against Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns. James Conner had 146 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Conner was 34 yards shy of running what Baker Mayfield threw on Sunday (180). This was James Conner’s third straight game running for 100+ yards and scoring 2+ touchdowns, his fourth of the season. He is the first back in Steelers history and in the NFL since 2009 to do that. Pending the Patriots Bills game on Monday Night, Conner is third on the NFL’s rushing leaders list with 599 yards. He is also beneficial in the pass game. He averages 10.4 yards per reception. He is 4th in yards from scrimmage with 992. At the end of the day, receiving or rushing, James Conner averages almost six yards per play when he touches the football. Le’Veon Bell is still holding out. The question isn’t will Le’Veon be himself when he comes back, but rather is James Conner the starting back for the Pittsburgh Steelers? It’s only been seven games for the Steelers, but I say yes it is time.

William HickeyPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedNo Clue for Hue
Hue Jackson might be a great offensive mind but as a head coach in the NFL, he might be taking on more than he can handle. After several seasons as a position coach and several more as an offensive coordinator, Hue was named the head coach of the Cleveland Browns on January 13, 2016. This wasn’t the first time Hue was made head coach though.
