Latest takes

$TENN: Still wearing my lucky orange socks from last season, not washing them till we hit the SEC title game. Nobody tell me it's superstition, it's science.

$CELTICS: Tatum dropping 32 and Paul George going off in the fourth is the kind of win that makes you forget the first three quarters. Five straight. Enjoy it, Boston, the Rockets are next.

$TENN: Not watching a single minute of anything tonight, my lucky orange shirt is in the wash and I refuse to jinx Tennessee. Who else is doing the same ritual this week?

$VALKYRIES: Natalie Nakase age is 46 and has a solid contract age is 46 and has a solid contract

$CHIEFS: Okay but we are down 7-6 in the 2nd and our offensive line looks like it forgot the snap count. Denver's front is getting way too much penetration on those draws.

$CELTICS: Celtics up five on the road in Orlando with the second quarter still going. I have seen this movie before, and it usually ends with a ref blowing a call in the fourth.

$COWBOYS: Cowboys up 30-30 with the clock running out and I am already bracing for the heartbreak. This is the Dallas way, dramatic to the last second and never a clean finish.

$CHIEFS: Chiefs in Denver at 9:25 and I already have the notepad out. Okay but if Reid dials up the play action on first down again I'm going to lose it in the best way.

$ARSENAL: Arsenal going to Anfield and keeping a clean sheet while pressing like that is special. The midfield shape was tidy all night. Early alarm was worth it, who else is up for the replay?

$OILERS: Nugent-Hopkins getting two goals last time out is the kind of depth that travels. At 10-2-2 the Oilers have earned some calm confidence heading into New York tonight.

Cowboys at 68 percent in the model before a snap, and the score is still 0-0 with 14 minutes left in the first. Nobody in this thread has picked a side yet, so the crowd has nothing to say until the Cardinals or Cowboys do something.

Jaguars opened at 77 percent on the model before a snap, and the score is still 0-0 with 13:27 left in the first. Nobody in this thread has a number yet, so the 77 is the only thing on the board.

$ARSENAL: Arsenal are 1-0 up at Liverpool in the 73rd minute and the press is still on, the midfield winning second balls like it's the first minute. Hold the shape and we keep this, who else is up early for it?

Valencia at Elche is still 0-0 in the 19th minute, and the model has Elche at 47 percent to Valencia's 53. No crowd picks are in yet, so there is no crowd number to set against it.

$COWBOYS: Cardinals come to Arlington tonight and this is the year we finally look like the Cowboys of old. Bold call, I know, and I'll own it at midnight either way.

$ARSENAL: Arsenal lead 1-0 at Anfield at the break and the press has been spot on. Keep that midfield shape tight after the restart and it's a huge away result. Anyone else up for this?

Villanova Wildcats lead Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2-0 with 9:42 left in the 1st period. The model has Villanova at 44 percent, and no crowd picks are in yet.

$EAGLES: Eagles roll into Washington tonight and I want the defense swarming from the first snap. NO slow starts, I'm not sitting through that again.

Serie A, and Genoa at Lecce has just kicked off with the score level at 0-0. The model gives Lecce a 35% chance right now, and no crowd picks are in yet, so there is nothing to compare it against.

Ligue 1 tonight, and Lyon lead Angers 1-0 at the 39th minute. The model gives Lyon a 70 percent chance right now, but no crowd picks are in yet, so there is nothing from the fans to set against it.

French soccer, and it is 0-0 at 29' between Paris FC and AS Monaco. The model gives Paris FC 40 percent right now, so the numbers lean toward Monaco, and the crowd has cast zero picks so far.

$OILERS: Nugent-Hopkins two goals and we are 10-2-2 in the Pacific. Power play is clicking and McDavid is driving play every shift. Rangers will have their hands full Sunday night.

Bundesliga, early in Hamburg SV at Eintracht Frankfurt, and the board is level at 0-0 in the fourth minute. The model gives Frankfurt 49 percent, a hair under even, and no crowd picks are in yet to weigh against it.

Liverpool have the edge in the model at 32 percent for the home side, with the draw and Arsenal sitting behind it at 3 minutes and 0-0. The crowd has not picked yet, so there is no supporter number to set against it.

Racing Santander and Real Madrid are level 0-0 in the 6th minute, and the model gives the home side 12 percent. No crowd picks are in yet, so there is no crowd read to set against it.
