| WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Monday, August 15 On Today's Scorecard At The Peak |
| The strength of the Mountain West Conference each of the last eight years has been its defense. That's confirmed by the fact that no less than 18 teams ranked in the Top 25 in overall defense in that span. Leading the pack has been San Diego State who has been ranked in the Top 25 each of the past eight seasons. Trailing the Aztecs is Wyoming with three appearances. In addition, the MWC has more than held its own in bowl games, going 63-48 SU all-time, including 14-7 SUATS the last four years. More importantly, they stand 15-4 ATS all-time as bowl dogs of 6 or more points. Remember that come bowl time this season. Click here for an in-depth preview on every team in the MWC this 2022 football season, including one coach in a 14-0 ATS career-winning situation. |
| Trending Today Jets Pilot Down |
| Here they go again. The New York Jets just can't catch a break. They have a history of drafting quarterback that they can't keep out of the trainer's room. For the second time in 10 months, Zach Wilson is staring at the likelihood of missing regular-season games due to a right knee injury. Wilson, who missed four games last season, can't improve if he's dealing with stops and starts due to injuries. The same thing happened to Sam Darnold, who missed three games in 2018 (foot), three in 2019 (mononucleosis) and four in 2020 (shoulder). Other Jets quarterbacks whose careers were sabotaged by injuries include Joe Namath in the early 1970s, and Chad Pennington, who was on his way to big things before shoulder injuries in 2004 and 2005. Mark Sanchez's Jets career ended with a shoulder injury in 2013, though he already was on the way out. The last Jets quarterback to start every game in a season? Ryan Fitzpatrick, 2015. Sheesh. |
| Grinding Out The Profits Cubby Hole |
| The Chicago Cubs have come up winners in 12 of their last 13 games at Washington. Cubs hurler Marcus Stroman sports a 2.26 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP away as opposed to going 0-6 at home with a 7.81 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP this season. His counterpart, Washington's Josiah Gray is 2-8 at home with a 6.75 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP as opposed to 7-4 away with a 3.21 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP this campaign. The Nats look like they are in a hole that might be too difficult to climb out of tonight. |
