FIFA World Cup Full Preview

Instead of doing a breakdown for each individual Group, I am going to do a full preview of the entire World Cup.  You can check out my previous post about an in-depth Group A breakdown as I will just have the main points here.

MLS Opening Day Rundown

The MLS season kicks off this Saturday with six matches on tap.  I will be providing (as much as possible) predictions as well as some DraftKings information to get you ready for kick off.  The main slate on DraftKings includes the games from 7:00 on, so I will include position by position picks for the slate. Note: If you play DraftKings, remember to check lineups as they come out around an hour before kickoff. This season we have another new franchise in LAFC, which will provide some intrigue.  They do not open the season on Saturday, so I will touch on the expansion club in another article.  Before we dive into the games, here are the odds on the MLS Cup Winner for the 2018 season. MLS Cup Winner Odds Toronto FC +350 Atlanta United +800 Seattle Sounders +800 Portland Timbers +900 New York City FC +1000 FC Dallas +1600 LA Galaxy +1600 Houston Dynamo +2000 NY Red Bulls +2000 Chicago Fire +2500 Montreal Impact +2500 Sporting Kansas City +2500 Orlando Cit

College Football Breakdowns: Michigan vs. Notre Dame

Image
Notre Dame and Michigan play for the first time since 2014, where Notre Dame shut out the Wolverines 31-0.  Michigan holds the all-time series lead 24-17-1 (I included the win Notre Dame had to vacate in 2016).  This year's matchup will be held at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend. Michigan is coming off a disappointing 8-5 season, while Notre Dame had a solid 10-3 season.  Michigan is returning eight offensive starters and nine defensive starters.  Notre Dame returns six starters on offensive and also returns nine defensive starters.  Both teams have upper echelon defenses and this matchup should be a defensive struggle. Quarterbacks Shea Patterson (MICH) - 166/260 2259 Yds 17 TD 9 INT .. 47 Att, -16 Yds, 1 TD (7 Gm @ Ole Miss) Brandon Wimbush (ND) - 136/275 1870 Yds 16 TD 6 INT .. 140 Att, 804 Yds, 14 TD Shea Patterson is eligible to play after transferring from Ole Miss and will be a huge upgrade at Quarterback for the Wolverines (Article on Patterson  here ).  Co
