I'm in Vegas for a short two-day respite. Staying at the new Palazzo. Very nice place. Not sure it's in Bellagio's class overall, but the suites are pretty comparable. I have been too busy lately to pay daily attention to hockey, bases and even the NBA. So if anybody has anything good for Thurs, Fri or Saturday, let me know. Maybe one of our hockey guys has an opinion on Pens-Flyers. Or NBA or bases. Whatever will ring the cash register. Thanks.

I think most people are looking for a rebound effort from the Spurs, but the NO +7 number is looking mighty attractive.

1st half under 92 1/2 in that game looks good as well. I, too, agree with taking the points.

Coast, just walk in and throw all your money on the floor.

And I like Spurs/NO under 183

dog and under. That's just my style. Thanks guys.

Texas run line (-140 ) looks interesting too with their most effective starter coming back from DL. The downside is that their best starter was just on DL

If you have time Coast, and are looking at NFL prop bets, can you please find the odds on Matt Forte winning the Rookie of the year? I think that might be a good value bet.

Don't know if they'll even have that prop available. I think the NFL gives a defensive and offensive rookie of the year.

I haven't seen that one yet, Beardown, but here at the Palazzo/Venetian book, they have these Bears-related bets. Never too early for NFL bets, eh?

Thanks for the info on the spreads Coast. I can't imagine big favorites on the road have fared especially well in Week 1.

Hopefully Coast didn't listen to us schumcks.

Take the under on season wins. The line will have two new tackles and most likely a new guard. The running game will have a new RB. The passing game will have all new WR. Even if they are eventually good, it is going to take them a while to play together.
