2-Unit Play. Take #715 L.A. Lakers (-5) over Houston (7 p.m., Thursday, September 10)

The Lakers are got back to what made them the top seed in the West coming into the bubble and that is lockdown defense. They have the luxury of playing guys that can guard 4 to 5 positions so when they are right, they are able to make life a living hell for teams. Houston is one of the most dynamic offensive squads we have seen in the NBA in quite some time and the way they play frustrates most teams but LA has figured some stuff out on that end so 3-1 is looking like a reality for Lebron, AD and company. Take the Lakers to get this win and look to close out on Saturday.

What a great NFL kickoff game. Not only do you have the defending Super Bowl champions riding high, but you also have a healthy Texans team that may be without DeAndre Hopkins this season but nevertheless has plenty of weapons. I have the Chiefs as an 8-point favorite entering the game, which is why I've been debating making a pick all morning. Homefield advantage will be less prominent with the stadium only one-fifth full, but with defending champions covering openers ATS at a 2-1 ratio this century, I'm willing to give the extra point. Look for Clyde Edwards-Helaire to be the difference maker and Patrick Mahomes to pile up some stats on opening night. Fourth-quarter TD seals the cover.

UAB @ MIAMI (FLA.) | 9/10 | 8:00 PM EDT
There's been a lot of talk about D'Eriq King transferring to Miami and Rhett Lashlee taking over the offense, but I expect we'll see the Canes attack struggle a bit in their first game due to the lack of an offseason. That said, I don't see the UAB offense being able to do a whole lot against this Miami defense, either. The Under is the play on Thursday night.

Dylan Bundy is 4-2 with a 2.49 ERA this season and he is coming off a quality start against the Astros. However, the Rangers bats have been hot and Bundy has been overperforming this season. Kyle Gibson is 1-4 with a 5.91 ERA this season and he has struggled. Each of these teams could hit the over alone, take the over.

Josh Fleming is 3-0 with a 3.52 ERA in three career starts while Mike Kickham is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA. Kickham will make his first start since 2013 and he has allowed three runs in five innings this season. Both these teams are in the top 11 in OPS against lefties and the Red Sox have the fourth worst bullpen in the league.

The Rays have won five of six games against the Red Sox this season and all four road games. Josh Fleming is 3-0 with a 3.52 ERA in three career starts while Mike Kickham is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA. Kickham will make his first start since 2013 and he has allowed three runs in five innings this season.

Aaron Civale is 3-4 with a 3.63 ERA this season and he has pitched at least six innings in all eight of his starts including six quality starts. Brady Singer is starting for the Royals and he is 1-4 with a 5.58 ERA and he is coming off an outing where he allowed five runs. He has not pitched six innings in any of his starts yet. The Royals won the first two games of this series, look for the Indians to turn it around tonight.

Robbie Erlin has yet to factor into a decision in eight games and four starts this season, but he has a 6.84 ERA. It looks like Austin Voth will make the start for the Nats and he is 1-6 with a 8.26 ERA this season. He has faced the Braves twice this season and allowed 10 runs in 8.2 IP. The Braves scored 19 runs last night and their bullpen is worked after last night’s game. Juan Soto is back in the lineup for the Nats and they have been swingin it well too.

This line could inch up again as we near kickoff. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is going to have a monster debut against a Texans' linebacking corps that can't cover running backs. Deshaun Watson doesn't have DeAndre Hopkins anymore, and Brandin Cooks will be limited even if he plays. Lay the points with the Super Bowl champs.

The Lakers haven’t exactly played the best defensive teams in their last six games between the Rockets and Blazers. But L.A. is looking like the most efficient team of all-time, shooting 50.0 percent from the field or better in five of its last six games. (Four games were better than 54 percent.) The Lakers have momentum entering Game 4, and Houston has no answers for Anthony Davis or LeBron James. Lakers get the cover.

TUE 9/8
The Chiefs finished last season on a nine-game win streak (8-0-1 ATS), one of which was a 51-31 defeat of the Texans (+10) in the playoffs after overcoming a 24-0 deficit.. At the time, the Chiefs were rolling and hungry and the stands were full. On Thursday night, they come in with no preseason games after winning the Super Bowl and only 22 percent of the stadium capacity allowed. The Texans beat the Chiefs, 31-24, at Arrowhead in October and they were getting only +4.5. DeShaun Watson leads the way to cover, maybe even a win.
