Syndication: The Montgomery AdvertiserArkansas Razorbacks’ Wehiwa Aloy (9) tags out Ole Miss Rebels’ Judd Utermark (27) at second base as Arkansas Razorbacks take on Ole Miss Rebels during the SEC baseball tournament at Hoover Met in Birmingham, Ala., on Friday, May 23, 2025. Ole Miss Rebels defeated Arkansas Razorbacks 5-2.

The road to Omaha begins with the opening games of the 16 regional sites on Friday, and Arkansas and LSU enter as co-favorites to win the College World Series.

The Razorbacks and Tigers are both being offered at +475 by BetMGM ahead of fellow SEC rival Vanderbilt at +650. The Commodores enter the regionals as the top-ranked team in the country after winning the SEC tournament, and each of the top four seeds hail from the conference.

Half of the 16 regional host teams are from the SEC.

Sixth-ranked LSU also spent time atop the rankings this season, and enters its regional as the book’s biggest liability. The Tigers opened at +1400 to win the title, and have been backed by the most bets with 12.0 percent. Their regional includes Little Rock, Rhode Island and Dallas Baptist.

The shortest odds for a non-SEC team belong to No. 5 North Carolina at +850, followed by No. 2 Texas at +1000. While the Longhorns spent several weeks ranked No. 1 and won the SEC’s regular-season crown, it is the Tar Heels who have been backed by the most title money wagered on any team at 13.2 percent.

North Carolina is BetMGM’s third-biggest liability, right behind Texas, which has drawn 8.7 percent of the money while seeing its odds shift significantly from opening at +2500.

Defending champion Tennessee is being offered at +1200. The Volunteers have endured an inconsistent season while seeing their odds lengthen from +900. Thy have still been backed by 8.7 percent of all CWS title bets.

Dave Portnoy: ‘I Would Run my Team Exactly How Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Runs His’

In Dallas, Texas, Jerry Jones is the judge, jury and executioner when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys, as the team owner also serves as the franchise's general manager.Is that actually a good thing?"I've always been a Jerry Jones guy, and I would run my team exactly how Jerry Jones runs his team," Dave Portnoy said about Jones on the debut of FS1's "Wake Up Barstool" on Tuesday. "I don't care if you think you're smarter than me. It's my team. I bought the team. It's my money. I'm going to call the plays. All I ask from my owner is that he cares truly about winning as much as I do, and there's no way he doesn't. … They have him in the Netflix documentary, when they lost to the Green Bay Packers in the 2023 NFC wild-card round, […]

Máme nedokončenou práci a jsme hladoví, říká klíčový obránce Sparty. Do týmu přemluvil krajana

Je vůbec reálné ještě střelecký rekord překonat?Já doufám, že ho ještě vylepším. A nejen kvůli sobě. Když skóruju, pomáhám tím týmu vyhrávat. Takže chci přidat co nejvíc branek.Co se ve vaší hře změnilo, že jste se takto rozstřílel?Získal jsem větší sebevědomí a také podporu od trenérů, kteří mě povzbuzovali, abych využíval své silné stránky. V týmu máme spoustu kvalitních hráčů, kteří na sebe poutají pozornost soupeřů, takže se uvolňuje více prostoru pro mě. A hodně jsem pracoval na bruslení, abych se dostával do střeleckých pozic.Baví vás víc bránit, nebo útočit?Jako obránce musíte zvládat oboje. Ale platí, že nejlepší obrana je útok. Když hrajete v ofenzivní třetině, nemusíte bránit. S trenérem Pavlem Grossem jsme hodně pracovali i na defenzivě, analyzujeme videa. Čím méně času trávíme v našem pásmu, tím víc energie máme na útok.Jakým způsobem trénujete střelbu?Hlavně opakováním. A pak i sledováním videa. Je důležité být ve správný čas na správném […]

Fantasy Football Week 1 Quarterback Preview: Starts, Sits, Waivers, Numbers to know, and more

Changing the rankings over from a season-long view to a Week 1 view is always a bit of a shock. While many rankings appear similar, there are always some outliers based on injuries, matchups, or other unexpected factors. This week at quarterback, it is incredible how much of a difference there is. Justin Fields, Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, and Jared Goff fell out of the top 12. Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, Kyler Murray, and Jordan Love are in. This massive change highlights something significant that we talk about in the summer, but matters when you are making your lineup decisions as well. The difference between QB12 and QB21 in my Week 1 projections is 0.85 Fantasy points. Even the difference between QB7 and QB12 is only 1.28 Fantasy points. One fumble could drop a guy from seventh to 20th and fumbles […]

O resultado positivo gerou um grande alívio para o técnico Roger Machado, que foi para esta partida bastante ameaçado no cargo.
