RB Kenyan Drake day-to-day but unlikely to play vs. Dolphins

Cardinals RB Kenyan Drake suffered what appeared to be a serious ankle injury in their overtime win over the Seahawks in Week 7.
Drake’s injury is not thought to be as serious as it may have looked and could be back soon but unlikely this week according to coach Kliff Kingsbury.
He’s really made good progress but I’m not sure it will be enough to get him back this week, Kingsbury told reporters on Monday.
In the meantime, Chase Edmonds will handle starting duties and he will be backed up by a committee of Jonathan Ward, Eno Benjamin and perhaps D.J. Foster

Draymond Green reacts to D.K. Metcalf’s incredible chase down tackle during Seahawks vs. Cardinals

Following D.K. Metcalf’s chase down tackle against Budda Baker to save a touchdown for the Seahawks, Draymond Green chimed in on Twitter.

Following an exciting slate of NFL action, the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals squared off for week seven’s primetime matchup on Sunday Night Football.

During the divisional battle, MVP front runner Russell Wilson was able to push the Seahawks to an early 13-7 lead. However, the All-Pro quarterback made a rare mistake in the second quarter. With Seattle in the red zone, Wilson threw into the hands of Arizona’s Pro Bowl safety Budda Baker.

As Baker broke in the opposite direction, the Seahawks’ 6-foot-4, 240 lb wide receiver began to sprint to chase down the Cardinals’ safety turned ball carrier. In an incredible effort, D.K. Metcalf showed off his blazing speed to catch Baker on the two-yard line.

Via @NFL on Twitter:

 

According to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, Metcalf traveled 114 yards. During his sprint to catch Baker, the 22-year-old wide receiver reached a max speed of 22.64 MPH.

Metcalf’s touchdown-saving tackle got the attention of the Golden State Warriors former Defensive Player of the Year. On Twitter, Draymond Green had a shoutout for the Seahawks pass catcher.

Via @Money23Green on Twitter:

Despite Baker’s interception setting up the Cardinals on the two-yard line, Kyler Murray’s offense failed to score, keeping the game at 13-7.

However, back and forth scores from both the Seahawks and Cardinals, the Sunday Night Football game was pushed into overtime with the game tied at 34.

Following another interception from Wilson in overtime, the Cardinals were able to complete their wild comeback, 37-34, with a field goal on the game’s final play from Zane Gonzalez.

While the Cardinals will head on a bye week, the Seahawks will play host to the Golden State Warriors San Francisco neighbor in week 8. The San Francisco 49ers and Seahawks are slated to kick off next Sunday at 1:25 P.M. PST.

Daniel Negreanu suffered a horrible bad beat with a terrific hand in a poker tournament

Oof.

Crushing losses in poker tournaments happen to even the greatest of pros, and that includes Daniel Negreanu.

This week, while playing in a GG Poker World Series of Poker event, he was streaming as he got a Queen and a 10 and decided to raise before the flop as “a little bit of a bluff.”

Then, Yuri Dzivielevski called, and that’s when what would be a disastrous hand would unfold.

Right off the bat, Negreanu landed a straight. Dzivielevski bet, and Negreanu simply called, baiting his opponent into continuing the hand. It’s a smart play here given that he’s got a devastatingly good hand.

Out comes the 3 of spades, the second spade on the board along with a Jack. Dzivielevski shoves all-in, and Negreanu calls with his large stack, finding out that his opponent is holding 6-5 of spades for a flush draw.

All Negreanu needs is for a non-spade to come out on the river. But guess what happens?

The answer is below (and WARNING: Some NSFW language ahead!)

Yep, just like Rounders. Brutal all around.

Cardinals ranked near top of the league for talent under 25 years old

The Cardinals have a lot to be excited about for the upcoming season with the 2nd year under Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins joining the team.

The Cardinals come in ranked third overall with three blue-chip players — Kyler Murray, Budda Baker and Isaiah Simmons.
All three players should have a massive impact for a team looking to compete in 2020

Prediction

Cardinals 7, Pirates 2

Moneyline (ML)

The Pirates (+170) lost their last six road games in 2019, and things do not appear any brighter to kick off the new season. The Cardinals (-189) are heavy favorites at home, but laying this kind of chalk early is dangerous. AVOID. 

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Cardinals (-189) to win straight up nets a return of just $5.29 if they prevail.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The CARDINALS (-1.5, +110) are a much better value in their home park on the run line, especially against Musgrove, who couldn’t do anything right against the Redbirds in 2019. Overall the Bucs are 7-20 in their past 27 tries against the Cards, and a dismal 20-45 in their past 65 at Busch.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 8 (-110) is a risky play based on Flaherty’s numbers from a year ago, and how tough he was on the Buccos. However, Musgrove was awful against the Cardinals, and the St. Louis batters could be doing an early conga line on the base paths against the shaky righty. It won’t be a beer-league softball score, but the Cards should scratch out enough offensively to make up for the lack of runs by the Pirates batters.
