(375) Bowling Green at (376) Nebraska: Spread
7:00pm EDT - Sep 12/2026

THE PLAY: Nebraska -30.0 (-108)

The Cornhuskers got off to a slow start against Ohio last week. However, they woke up in the second half and pulled away for a 49-21 season-opening win. Nebraska's 248 rushing yards were its most since 2023. This week, the Huskers will face another MAC Conference opponent, an (arguably) even weaker one. Bowling Green just lost at home to an FCS program. Bowling Green coach Eddie George said this about his Falcons after the loss to Tarleton State: "This is a young football team ..." The overmatched and inexperienced Falcons are unlikely to be ready for what's in store for them in Lincoln. The Huskers should get off to a better start than they did last week and cruise to an even bigger victory.

(973) Los Angeles Angels at (974) Washington Nationals: Moneyline
6:45pm EDT - Sep 11/2026

THE PLAY: Washington Nationals -153 Cade Cavalli (RHP) Must Start

Cavalli has been solid all season and he's been dominant in the second half. He's 12-5 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.18 WHIP on the season, 7-1 with a 1.95 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 10 starts since the All Star Break. Batters are hitting just .187 against him in those 10 games with Cavalli striking out 75 in 60 innings. He's 3-0 with a 1.20 ERA his past five. While Kikuchi has pitched well in consecutive starts, his overall season numbers remain poor. He's also got a 6.10 ERA and 1.71 WHIP on the road. Speaking of road woes, one of the worst hitting teams, the Angels are just 26-46 away from home. Let's go with Washington
