Betting On The Charlotte The Charlotte 49ers enter this match after losing two consecutive games to Memphis and Navy, two of the strongest clubs in the conference. The 49ers seemed to be doing so well, defeating Rice and East Carolina, before their match with the Navy. The major issue here is their quarterback play and it has been inconsistent all year.  On offense, Charlotte average 346.8 yards per match (105th), 5.4 yards per play (93rd), 127.6 yards per game rushing (100th) and 2.19.1 passing yards (77th). On defense, the 49ers allow 415.1 yards per game, 6.2 yards per day, 230.8 passing yards.  Betting On Tulane  The Tulane Green Wave entered this match on the back of five straight wins, including a 45-37 victory over North Texas on the road as a 7-point favorite on Saturday. This is a huge step for a college football club, but both sides have to play the match with minimal break. In their victory over the Mean Green, Tulane raced for 297 yards, headed by Makhi Hughes, who recorded 30 carries for 195 yards and score.  Offensively, the Green Wave averaged 425 yards per game (43rd), 40.5 points per game, 6.6 yards per play, 216.8 rushing yards and 208.2 passing yards. On defense, they allow 342.8 yards per game (51st), 22.2 points per game, 5.4 yards per play, 116.5 rushing yards and 226.2 passing yards.  MatchPlug Prediction For Charlotte VS Tulane  Charlotte may use two quarterbacks on Friday which is not an easy task to accomplish. However, Tulane should run the ball on a Green Wave rushing defense that permits 116.5 yards per match. They’ll also have to monitor Blake, who will help the safety. It’s hard to box in anyone when you have a receiver that averages 23 yards per catch.  Final Prediction: SPREAD -15.5.

red wings trade maatta to utah for draft pick

Red Wings trade Maatta to Utah for draft pick

The Detroit Red Wings traded Olli Maatta to the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday in place of a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Maatta does not have a point in seven matches this year. But, in 2023-24, he had 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) and a plus-14 rating in 72 matches in 2023-24.  “I think with what we acquired in [Maatta], he’s a two-time Stanley Cup winner,” Utah general manager Bill Armstrong said Wednesday. “He gives a lot of stability to the defence, and that’s what we need. One of the big things that we’re trying to do is cut our goals against, and he’s going to help add in that stability on the back side.” Olli is in the last season of a two-year, $6 million contract ($3 million average annual value) he signed with Detroit on February 16, 2023.  The Pittsburgh Penguins chose Maatta in the first round (No. 22) of the 2012 NHL Draft. He recorded 177 points (40 goals, 137 assists) in 681 regular-season matches with the Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Red Wings. Maata also has 27 points (five goals, 22 assists) in 85 Stanley Cup Playoff matches.  “For us to add another Stanley Cup winner to that [locker room], that’s huge for us,” Armstrong said. “One of the things you see with the club, I mean, I talk about this a lot, but I’ll say it again. I think we’re the second youngest team in the League. So, you know, you see games that we had the other night. We’ve got to calm that down and make sure that we have a good veteran presence that’s going to allow us to walk out with the win.” The Hockey Club have lost six of their last seven matches after a 3-0-0 start. It has permitted up to four goals in six of its 10 matches this campaign.  “[He’s] probably one of the hardest working, best players in the game,” Armstrong said. “I’ve known him back from the days when I watched him play for the London Knights (of the Ontario Hockey League). His work ethic is incredible, it’s contagious inside the locker room. He’s a great person. He comes every day as a pro’s pro and tries to get better and tries to make the club better.” Maatta could play for the first time, during Utah Hockey Club vs Calgary Flames on Wednesday, 30th October 2024.  “We’re hungry. We’ve built a lot of assets for these moments where we can help the club out and improve the club and we’re going to look to always improve this club,” Armstrong said. “We talk about the process to go through. There’s some young players going on the ice. We can’t make those players any older. They’ve got to go through the process. But if we can look to add around them and make them better by adding players that have some age and some ability to enhance them, we’re always going to do that. And we’ve got the assets to do that. So every morning we get up, we’re looking to improve the club.”

LeBron James, Bronny James to feature in Cleveland game

Bronny James is expected to compete in his second pro game next to his father, LeBron James, when the Los Angeles Lakers face the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron spent 11 seasons over two stints with Cleveland, winning the team their 2016 title before leaving as a free agent after two years. Last week, he and his son became the first father-son duo to feature in an NBA match.  Bronny and LeBron James checked for the second quarter of a 110-103 victory in the campaign opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The much expected moment was a dream come true for both, and will now herald another significant match.  “It’s definitely going to be very special to be back home and be able to run the floor with my son who spent a lot of time on that floor throughout my days when I played there for 11 years,” LeBron James said following Monday’s game in Phoenix. Bronny James did not score in his debut, fumbling both shots and clinching one rebound in three minutes on the court. He has not played since then, and he is expected to join the Lakers’ G League team, the South Bay Lakers, after his five-match road trip ends on November 6 in Memphis.
