Why the Astros will roll in Game 1 vs. the Red Sox; Football Friday: The Lions are on the verge of win No. 1

It's another Football Friday and has become tradition, tonight's newsletter is bursting at the seams with bets for the entire weekend. Of course, just because it's a Football Friday, that doesn't mean we're ignoring the MLB postseason. I have a pick for Game 1 of the ALCS tonight as well.

But then it's all football and not just the American variety. Soccer returns from its international break this weekend, so I've added a couple of soccer plays to your plate as well. Essentially, I've made sure you don't have to do any thinking this weekend. All you have to do is sit down and enjoy the ride until it's Monday again.

However, first we need to catch up on today's news, including an NFL trade.

Let the betting bonanza begin.
