Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee
Preview: Colts at Titans
Gracenote
Oct 13, 2017
The Tennessee Titans witnessed firsthand last week what life is like without their stud quarterback while the Indianapolis Colts have played under that cloud all season. With Marcus Mariota's availability in question due to a hamstring injury, the Titans aim to snap an 11-game losing skid against the Colts on Monday night when the AFC South rivals meet at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.
"I want to be very smart about how we do this. It's more than this game, it's a lot of games, that we've got to be concerned about," Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey said of Mariota. Mularkey and company couldn't have been too keen on the performance of Matt Cassel, as the Titans mustered just 188 total yards in their lowest scoring output of the season - a 16-10 loss to Miami. Indianapolis has seen its offense take significant strides as Jacoby Brissett has gotten acclimated under center in place of the injured Andrew Luck (shoulder), who does not have an exact timetable to return. Brissett threw for a career-high 314 yards and rushed for a touchdown last week as the Colts collected their second victory against a winless team with a 26-23 overtime triumph over San Francisco.
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Off. O/U: Off
ABOUT THE COLTS (2-3): T.Y. Hilton gashed the 49ers with seven receptions for 177 yards last week and looks to continue his assault on the Titans, against whom he had a seven-catch, 133-yard performance last October in a comeback win in Nashville. "This game, it counts double. It's very important. It's something that we understand," the 27-year-old Hilton said. Rookie running back Marlon Mack has shown a burst in Indianapolis' backfield, rushing for a 22-yard touchdown and galloping for a key 35-yard run that set up Adam Vinatieri's game-winning 51-yard field goal in overtime. Veteran Frank Gore, who moved into seventh place in NFL history with 13,304 yards rushing, has four touchdowns in his last three games versus Tennessee.
ABOUT THE TITANS (2-3): Tennessee's bread and butter has long been its rushing attack, but DeMarco Murray has amassed just 89 yards on the ground in his last two contests - with Miami limiting the Titans to only 69 yards on 20 carries last week. Murray could get untracked against a Colts'defense that is surrendering an NFL-high 31.8 points per game this season, and the veteran has scored a touchdown in each of the past three encounters with the club. Wideout Rishard Matthews has put his best foot forward at home, reeling in 20 receptions for 272 yards and two touchdowns in the past three games. Matthews, however, has been limited to just six catches for 83 yards in the Titans' back-to-back losses the past two weeks.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Vinatieri kicked four field goals last week to earn AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for an NFL-record 17th time in his career.
2. Titans rookie first-round WR Corey Davis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's tilt, but OT Taylor Lewan (knee) is questionable to play versus Colts.
3. Indianapolis' Brandon Williams and Darrell Daniels combined for only four receptions for 30 yards last week with fellow TE Jack Doyle sidelined with a concussion last week.

Colts at Titans 10/16/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions
by Eddie
Latest Odds : TEN -3.5 Total 42
Monday Night Football will feature a matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans from Nissan Stadium. Despite playing without injured QB Andrew Luck, the Colts have managed to win two of their first five games and are just a game behind first place Jacksonville. On Sunday, Adam Vinatieri kicked a 51-yard field goal in overtime to lift Indianapolis to a 27-24 victory over visiting San Francisco. Rookie RB Marlon Mack rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown on the afternoon.
Through five games, Indianapolis ranks 26th in total offense and is scoring 19.4 points on average. Tennessee comes into this game with a defense that ranks 21st in yards allowed and surrenders 28.4 points per contest.
The Tennessee Titans were expected to be a team on the rise this season, but have managed to win just two games so far. The Titans followed up an embarrassing 43-point loss at Houston with a 16-10 defeat at Miami on Sunday. Tennessee’s 188 total yards on the day was their lowest output since the 2013 season finale. Matt Cassell replaced injured QB Marcus Mariota and finished with 141 yards. DeMarco Murray rushed for 58 yards on 14 carries in a losing effort for the Titans.
For the season, Tennessee ranks 24th in total offense and is scoring 22 points on average. Indianapolis counters with a defense that ranks second to last in yards allowed and giving up a league worst 31.8 points per game.

Indianapolis QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) remains highly doubtful to appear in a game this month, while Tennessee QB Marcus Mariota (hamstring) could return for this matchup. The Titans have been disappointing so far this season, but will get back on track with a win on Monday night. Look for Indianapolis to be competitive and cover. Final Score Prediction, Tennessee Titans win but fall short ATS 24-23.

Monday's game
Colts (2-3) @ Titans (2-3)— Status of Mariota (hamstring) makes handicapping this game dicey. Titans scored 14-10 points in losing their last two games, both on road; they split their two home games. Tennessee is 5-3 vs spread in its last eight games as a home favorite; over is 10-6-2 in their last 18 home games. Indy is 16-1 in its last 17 games with the Titans, winning last 11 in a row; they won last five visits to Nashville, by 6-3-17-2-8 points. Indy is 0-2 on road this season, losing big both times, 46-9 (+3.5) at Rams, 46-18 (+13) at Seattle- their three home games were all decided by 3 points each. Last three Colt games all went over. Colts are 30-65 on 3rd down in Brissett’s four starts, which is good, but winning on road is doubtful until Luck returns to lineup.

Preview: Astros at Yankees
Gracenote
Oct 15, 2017
The margin of error in the first two games of the American League Championship Series was razor thin, with the Houston Astros managing to come out on top in each contest to take a commanding lead in the best-of-seven matchup. The New York Yankees will try to turn the tide in their favor when they host Game 3 on Monday.
The Astros earned 2-1 wins in each of the first two games, with Game 2's victory coming only after Jose Altuve scampered around the bases from first on a Carlos Correa's double and scored when Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was unable to handle the relay throw from shortstop Didi Gregorius. "Both sides are really, really emphasizing staying in the game and just continuing to fight because it can shift in a heartbeat," Houston manager A.J. Hinch told reporters. "Just when you feel good about where you're at, it can shift back to momentum the other way. So it's postseason baseball at its best." Sanchez (0-for-7, five strikeouts) and Aaron Judge (1-for-7, three strikeouts) are enduring a tough series at the plate for New York, but the team has no plans to change its batting order. "I'm going to stick with the same lineup because things can turn really quickly," Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters. "There's a lot of guys that struggle in the postseason. That's just what it is. If you just start moving people around trying to play a hot hand, it doesn't necessarily work."
TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS1
PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Charlie Morton (0-0, 4.15 ERA) vs. Yankees LH CC Sabathia (0-0, 3.72)
Morton started the clinching game of the AL Division Series at Boston last Monday but did not factor in the decision, leaving after 4 1/3 innings. The New Jersey native surrendered seven hits and walked a pair but limited the damage to two runs in a game Houston went on to win 5-4. Morton earned a victory at New York on May 14, when he struck out 10 while allowing four runs on four hits and four walks in 5 2/3 frames.
Sabathia is coming off a performance in a clinching ALDS game as well and also lasted only 4 1/3 innings in Cleveland. The veteran registered nine strikeouts without walking a batter prior to his exit and was making his second ALDS start after working 5 1/3 solid frames in Game 2. Sabathia is 9-5 with a 4.46 ERA in 21 career postseason appearances - 20 starts - and is facing the Astros for the first time since posting a win in Houston on July 26, 2016.
WALK-OFFS
1. Judge is 2-for-27 with 19 strikeouts in his last seven games.
2. Houston CF George Springer (0-for-7) and RF Josh Reddick (0-for-8) are hitless in the series from the top two spots in the batting order.
3. New York RHP Luis Severino worked only four innings in Game 2 due to being hit by a comebacker in the left wrist and appearing to have trouble loosening his right shoulder.

Lightning at Red Wings 10/16/17 - NHL Picks & Predictions
by Adam
Latest Odds : DET -110 O/U 5.5
The Detroit Red Wings (4 - 1 - 0, 8 pts) are heading home this week in order to host the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning (4 - 1 - 0, 8pts). Detroit will be hosting this game at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI and they'll be favored out of the gate to do some damage here. Detroit is coming off of a win over Vegas while Tampa Bay just scored a nice win over the St Louis Blues.
Tampa Bay will be taking the ice with one of the best offenses in all of hockey. Tampa Bay is ranked 5th in the NHL in goals per game as they are racking up an eye popping 4 goals per outing. Nikita Kucherov has been on fire to start the year as he has dealt out 5 goals and a trio of assists through the first five games of the year. Tampa Bay has to keep playing with confidence and they can win here.
Detroit is ranked 10th in the NHL in scoring this season as the Red Wings are averaging 3 goals per game. Detroit has played better on defense than the vast majority of the NHL but Detroit will be tested here. Detroit is led by Mike Green on defense and he'll need a big game to keep up with Tampa Bay's rough and effective offense.
Recent Betting Trends:
Lightning are 7-1 in their last 8 overall.
Red Wings are 10-27 in their last 37 vs. Atlantic.
Over is 4-1-1 in Red Wings last 6 overall.
Lightning are 22-8 in the last 30 meetings.
Free Betting Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning -110
The Lightning have been playing great hockey this year. The Red Wings, have had trouble in finding the back of the net and the defense for the Red Wings is not anywhere near what it is usually against the strong and aggressive offense the Lightning will come out with. We like Tampa Bay to take out Detroit in this game, 3 - 2.

Latest Odds : NYY -125 Total 8.5
The American League Championship Series will shift to Yankee Stadium for Game Three between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees on Monday night. In Game Two, Carlos Correa doubled home Jose Altuve in the bottom of the ninth inning of a 2-1 Houston victory. Correa provided the other run with a fourth inning solo blast. SP Justin Verlander struck out 13 batters and went the distance to earn the victory for the Astros.
Thirty-three year old righty Charlie Morton (14-7 3.62 ERA) will take the mound for the Astros in this matchup. In his lone start versus New York this year, Morton allowed four runs over five plus innings.
The New York Yankees have to be excited about limiting Houston’s potent offense to just four runs through the first two games, but have no wins to show for it. Todd Frazier drove in the only New York run with a ground rule double in the fifth inning. Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson each tossed two innings of scoreless relief in a losing effort for the Yankees.
Veteran southpaw (14-5 3.69 ERA) will draw the assignment of trying to pitch the Yankees back into this series. Through nine plus innings this postseason, Sabathia has allowed four runs and struck out 14 batters.
Recent Betting Trends:
Astros are 6-2 in Mortons last 8 road starts.
Yankees are 13-3 in Sabathias last 16 home starts.
Over is 11-5 in Astros last 16 road games.
Under is 22-8-2 in Sabathias last 32 home starts.
Over is 5-2 in last 7 meetings in New York.
Free Betting Pick: OVER 8.5
New York SP Luis Severino (shoulder) exited Game Two with an apparent shoulder injury and his status is uncertain. Through 162 games, Houston ranked 1st in batting average and 1st in runs scored. For the season, New York ranked 7th in batting average and 2nd in runs scored. The two highest scoring offenses have struggled through the first two games, but will get on track on Monday. Final Score Prediction, New York Yankees win 6-5.
Rockets at Warriors 10/17/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
by Eddie
Latest Odds : GS -9 Total 232
Two of the top teams in the NBA will clash on opening night, when the Houston Rockets travel to Oracle Arena to battle the Golden State Warriors. The Rockets made major strides last season by winning 55 games and finishing as the number three seed in the Western Conference. James Harden averaged 29.1 points and a league best 11.2 assists on the way to a runner-up finish for league MVP.
Houston made one of the biggest splashes of the offseason by acquiring All-Star PG Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers. Head coach Mike D’antoni will have to find a way to mesh the ball dominant duo of Harden and Paul, but the Rockets figure to be one of the elite teams in the league.
The defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors have won two of the last three titles and appear to be a dynasty in the making. The Warriors had already won a title before adding All-NBA F Kevin Durant to the mix last season. Golden State features a versatile lineup that includes four All-Stars and should once again be the team to beat.
