Lock, Fade And Stay Away (9/14/20)
The boys ended last week on a great note, we are killing the month of September. If you want the rest of my lock(s) and all of Fiesta’s make sure you are following us on twitter (@thechasers617). Also go give our podcast a listen on Sound Cloud (@thechasers) as well. With that being said here are some of my lock(s) for today, my favorite to fade, and my bet to stay away from today.
Lock(s):
Denver Broncos +3 (1u/1u)
The Denver Broncos are a young up and coming team that is looking to make a splash to start off 2020. They are playing the second Monday Night Football Game against the Tennessee Titans who were in the AFC Championship game a year ago. One thing in Denver’s favor tonight in my opinion is the altitude that they are playing at. Tennessee is a very run heavy team, and Derrick Henry could get tired early tonight. When you play on the road at Denver it is a lot different then playing them while they are on the road. I see Tennessee struggling tonight as I think Denver covers this spread. Lock in Denver at +3 as I am risking 1 unit to make 1 unit.
Vegas Golden Knights -170 (1.7u/1u)
Vegas is on the brink of elimination, as they enter Game Five tonight down 3-1. The Golden Knights need a spark, as they have put themselves in a hole that they didn’t see themselves being in. Look for the Knights to come out firing tonight, and to be all over the Stars. Dallas is looking to make the Stanley Cup Final, unfortunately I don’t see it happening tonight. I am four for four on picking the games in this series, so you might want to listen when I say this. Lock in Vegas -170 as I am risking 1.7 units to make 1 unit in this one.
Fade:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6
The Pittsburgh Steelers are healthy to start off the season. Which could be a sign that they will be a good team in the AFC again. Tonight though they play the New York Giants who are looking to start of Joe Judge’s heading coaching career on the right foot. The Steelers open as a six point favorite, and I see this game being a lot closer than that. Do I see Pittsburgh winning this game? I potentially do, but I think it will be by a field goal not a touchdown. I love the Giants at +6 tonight I think Saquon Barkley and that offense will be ready to go tonight. Fade the Steelers -6 tonight as they will not cover this spread.
Stay Away:
Minnesota Twins -1.5
This series that is starting today is going to have some serious playoff implications in it. As we have the Minnesota Twins going up against the Chicago White Sox. Minnesota just swept the Cleveland Indians and the White Sox have won their last four games as well. Chicago has also won 8 out of their last ten. Minnesota is ready to clinch the top of the division as the White Sox are currently up a game on the Twins. This series is being played in Chicago and Minnesota has struggled on the road. So it is making me want to stay away from the Twins as a whole. I am going to tell you to stay away from the Twins on the run line tonight as this will be a close one.
