LAS VEGASFriday brings more college football action as well as the third round of the US Open and another full MLB slate. Which bets are the day’s best to take?

College Football Week 1: UNC Vs. Virginia Tech

The North Carolina Tar Heels and Virginia Tech Hokies will play one another on Friday night in an ACC matchup. While betting the spread and moneyline could interest some, online sportsbooks have set the total in an interesting spot that may be worth wagering on.

UNC Vs. Virginia Tech Total Odds

  • OVER 63.0 -110
  • UNDER 63.0 -110

Both of these teams love to rush the football. Naturally, this should help them to eat up the play clock and limit possessions that should allow the UNDER to come into play. Virginia Tech led the ACC with 240.1 rushing yards per game in 2020 while UNC was a close second with 235.8 rush yards per game.

It’s possible that these teams change to a more pass-heavy attack in 2021 but it’s tough to see either team abandoning the running game given last year’s successes. The game is set to kick off at 6 p.m. EST and will be broadcast live on the ESPN Network.

US Open Odds: Diego Schwartzman Vs. Alex Molcan

The spread for Diego Schwartzman against Alex Molcan has already been bet up from 6.0 games to 7.0 games, however, there is still betting value on Schwartzman to dominate the game as tennis betting sites are offering plus-money odds on a sweep.

Set Betting Odds

  • Diego Schwartzman 3-0 +105
  • Diego Schwartzman 3-1 +255
  • Diego Schwartzman 3-2 +500

Schwartzman has yet to drop a set through his first two rounds and there’s an argument to be made that Molcan is his easiest matchup yet. Statistically, Molcan has been at his worst when playing on hard court and should struggle against someone as talented as Schwartzman.

MLB Betting: Toronto Blue Jays Vs. Oakland Athletics

Alek Manoah, the Toronto Blue Jays’ starter on Friday, has not allowed an earned run in the first inning yet this season. Through 14 games, he has allowed just three hits overall and no extra-base hits. Yet MLB betting sites still favor a run to be scored in the first inning.

Blue Jays Vs. Athletics Run In First Inning

  • Yes -120
  • No -110

The Oakland Athletics are 22nd in runs scored per first inning with 0.49. Plus, the Blue Jays will be facing Sean Manaea, a left-handed pitcher. Toronto has not been hitting against lefties too well recently as the team is 22nd in batting average against left-handed pitchers in the last two weeks. The no-run scored in the first inning should be favored in this game.

The first pitch is slated for 7:07 p.m. EST and can be viewed on the MLB Network.
