Revamped Cowboys defense flops, and fixing it won't be easy

Dallas spent the offseason trying to improve one of the NFL's worst units, and early returns are ugly for a young coordinator in search of solutions.

Analysis

At this point, the sinking White Sox are like one of those scantily clad victims in a B-type shark movie just pawing at the side of the boat before going under. I sure hope the Pale Hose can hang on to that playoff boat but at one point that lack of pitching was going to catch up to them. And it is currently. This is the when the Guardians flip the switch annually, and I usually back them at Progressive Field when Gavin Williams pitches as he does tonight. Cleveland must sweep the 3 to win the season series and own a key tiebreaker.

First 5 Innings Moneyline

Picked: Sep 14 @ 9:17am

Analysis

David Peterson has been inconsistent since being traded to the Cubs in late June. In two September starts, both vs. the Brewers, he allowed six runs over 3.2 IP in the first and one run over 4.1 in the second. The Braves can hit the ball, but over the last two weeks their .535 OPS vs. left-handers ranks only above the Twins and Royals. Chicago has scored fewer than four runs just once since Aug. 26. Braves RHP Reynaldo Lopez has given up 4+ runs in three of his last four starts, none of which lasted six innings. A half-unit play.

Picked: Sep 14 @ 9:23am

Analysis

The Yankees may be finding their groove and can keep it up here vs. Dean Kremer, who’s given up 18 runs over his last 23.1 IP (five starts) and a Twins bullpen with a 5.02 ERA since Sept. 1. On the flip side, Will Warren has allowed four runs over his last 20.1 IP. Warren and the bullpen with the second-best ERA in baseball can limit a Twins lineup averaging 2.6 rpg the last five games, with four or fewer run in each.

Picked: Aug 12 @ 8:17pm

Analysis

All the talk is about Patrick Mahomes returning for Week 1 but I'm more interested in the big uglies. I expect the Broncos to dominate this game in the trenches. Denver has my top-rated offensive line entering the season. Meanwhile, the Chiefs could start undrafted Kahlil Benson at right tackle. Benson may end up being a good player but an undrafted free agent protecting a QB coming off an ACL injury in Week 1 isn't ideal. I give Denver's vaunted pass rush a big edge in this matchup and expect a lower-scoring game. I'll grab the +3 now in case the number goes down closer to kickoff.

Picked: Sep 7 @ 11:35am

Analysis

The Broncos went from 10-7 in Bo Nix’s rookie year to 14-3 last season, losing in the AFC Championship. This team looks to be in a spot to take another step, and what an opportunity against the perennial powerhouse Chiefs in KC. Patrick Mahomes is coming off his major knee injury and didn’t play a single minute in preseason, and a revamped defensive backfield may take time. There are no such glaring issues for Denver going into Week 1.
