Quote of the Day
“Listen, everything that coach coaches throughout the week, it tends to come up. I’m beginning to think he either has like a Staples easy button or a Buffalo Wild Wings button or just a straight direct line to the football gods because he’s, like, a football whisperer when it comes to anticipating what the game’s going to be like, how we need to win, and things like that. I’m extremely impressed with that.”
Patriots’ QB Cam Newton, who thinks his team’s head coach is pretty smart

Wednesday’s quiz
When was the last time a team started a season 9-0 and then won the Super Bowl?

Tuesday’s quiz
Bud Grant coached the Minnesota Vikings when they won four NFC titles but went 0-4 in the Super Bowl; he also played in the NBA, for the Minneapolis Lakers.

Monday’s quiz
In the movie Little Big League, Dennis Farina played the manager of the Minnesota Twins who got fired by the team’s 12-year old owner.

*********************************

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….

13) You know your life is going well when you turn down a 2-year contract worth $103M, like James Harden did this week. Who turns down $51.5M a year???

Apparently Harden wants to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets, where he would be teammates with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving. I’d be queasy about any team with Irving on it; he doesn’t seem like such a great teammate.

Here is a reminder that Steve Nash is the new coach of the Nets, and he’s never coached; I’m not saying he can’t coach, just saying that he’s NEVER coached. Doesn’t seem like an entry level job.

12) Theo Epstein is out as president of the Cubs, after nine years with Chicago, during which time the Cubs ended their 100+ year championship drought. Jed Hoyer will replace Epstein, whose 5-year contract with the Cubs was set to end after the 2021 season.

11) Read the other day that former Tigers/Red Sox GM Dave Dombrowski has moved to Nashville, in hopes of bringing major league baseball to Music City. My guess is that MLB will have two expansion franchises pretty soon, with Dombrowski/Epstein running them.

Portland OR, Montreal would also like MLB teams; could the A’s move to Oregon?

10) Wichita State gave basketball coach Gregg Marshall $7.75M Tuesday to take a hike, after he coached the Shockers for 14 years, going 331-121. Former players posted multiple allegations of verbal and physical abuse by Marshall, so out the door he goes.

When you fire the winningest coach in school history, that’s newsworthy; the Koch family are among Wichita’s biggest boosters, so the school can afford $7.75M.

9) If the whole NCAA Tournament is indeed being held in Indiana, and Arizona St-Purdue both make the field, then they should play that game at Frankfort HS, where a Blue Chips reunion could take place, seeing how Bobby Hurley/Matt Painter both played in the basketball scenes in that movie, which was made in 1994.

Iona and Memphis could also be involved, seeing how Penny Hardaway played for Western U in the movie, and Rick Pitino coached against the fictional Dolphins.

8) Speaking of Blue Chips, a movie I love, an actor named JT Walsh played Happy, the booster who helps pay players to play for Western U. JT Walsh was a great actor: here are my favorite movies that he appeared in:

— Blue Chips– he played Happy, the unscrupulous booster
— A Few Good Men— he played Lt. Col. Markinson, who worked under Colonel Jessup
— The Client— he played McThune; one of the best John Grisham movies.
— The Last Seduction— All I know about this movie is that Linda Fiorentino is in it, and that’s enough.
— Tequila Sunrise— he played Maguire, who was always at odds with Kurt Russell.

JT Walsh was only 54 when he died back in 1998, way too soon.

7) Random thing I learned while watching way too much TV: Lady Gaga and Sean McVay both write left-handed. Not sure if McVay can sing, or if Lady Gaga can call plays.

6) 2020 is the weirdest year ever: Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have already clinched their division in the Sun Belt, while out in the Pac-12, Utah hasn’t even played a game yet.

5) WR Brenden Rice caught a TD pass for Colorado Saturday; the kid has pretty good genes, seeing how Jerry Rice is his dad.

4) San Diego Padres traded for P Mike Clevinger last summer, then he hurt his arm; he’ll have Tommy John surgery, will miss the 2021 season, but San Diego signed him to a 2-year, $11M contract, so they’ll have him back in 2022.

3) How are Roger Clemens/Barry Bonds not in the Hall of Fame? Seriously?

2) I’ve seen enough college football this year to know that some teams are ridiculously awful on defense; when Signing Day comes around in February, Ole Miss damn well better sign 10-12 kids who play defense, maybe more than that. Their defense is terrible.

1) ESPN’s Daily Wager program, which is a pretty good gambling-related show, reported that Sunday, a gambler would’ve won a parlay worth $94,221 had Buffalo beaten the Cardinals— the Hail Mary at the end of the game was very, very expensive for that guy. Yikes.

Quotes of the Day
“I’m not into the trap game discussion. This is the NFL, and more than anything, the guys know my attitude regarding that. We are not a Big Ten team playing a MAC opponent this week. Every time we step into a stadium, we’re playing professional players and coaches, and we’ve got a ridiculous amount of respect for that.”
Mike Tomlin

“I haven’t had a chance to get him yet. He mentioned it again in the team meeting, too. I wasn’t too happy about that. I’ll get him back, don’t worry. I have to figure out what conference William & Mary (Tomlin’s alma mater) is in, and we’ll say something about that.”
Ben Roethlisberger, who played college ball in the MAC (Miami OH)

Thursday’s quiz
Of the 32 current head coaches in the NFL, how many played QB in the NFL?

Wednesday’s quiz
2009 Saints were the last team that started a season 9-0 and then won the Super Bowl.

Tuesday’s quiz
Bud Grant coached the Minnesota Vikings when they won four NFC titles but went 0-4 in the Super Bowl; he also played in the NBA, for the Minneapolis Lakers.

********************************

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….

13) A medical expert posted this on Twitter Tuesday:

“A Thanksgiving with your family on Zoom is better than Christmas/New Year’s in the ICU”

Over the next 3-4 months, self-discipline will save lives. Please be intelligent. Protect yourself and your family.

12) When I see what a big prospect Georgia’s James Edwards is, then I read this quote:

“To be honest, I can’t watch basketball,” Edwards told ESPN. ”I’m still not really into it. I love basketball, yeah, it’s what I do.”

That red flag couldn’t get any brighter; if he has a great career, more power to him, but I wouldn’t touch him with a 20-foot pole.

11) New Jersey Giants had an interesting day during their bye week; the head coach brought in a consultant to work with the offensive line, the current OL coach wasn’t happy about that, words were exchanged and the consultant replaced the OL coach, who was fired.

Jason Garrett brought the OL coach with him from Dallas when he was hired as the Giants’ offensive coordinator, so might be little awkward for him.

10) If you’re interested in such things, Steelers are +750 to finish the season 16-0.

9) NBA exhibition games start December 11, regular season starts December 22.

8) San Francisco 49ers are 24-9 in last 33 games that Jimmy Garoppolo started, 5-23 in last 28 games he didn’t start.

7) 38-year old Robinson Cano flunked another PED test, gets a year suspension from MLB— it also frees up $24M in salary for the Mets to use this year, but Cano is still owed $24M in both 2022-23.

6) New Mexico State’s basketball team will relocate to Phoenix for at least the next five weeks; they will hunker down at Arizona Grand Resort & Spa, where they’ll have access to a full basketball court in a ballroom along with an up-to-date weight room.

5) Big 14 Conference posted its basketball schedule, with four nationally televised games on Christmas Day:

Wisconsin at Michigan State
Iowa at Minnesota
Michigan at Nebraska
Maryland at Purdue

4) Jay Bilas was on ESPN Tuesday night, basically saying that because the NCAA Tournament is such big business, it has to be played this year— having it cancelled two years in a row would be catastrophic financially.

3) Iona’s new coach Rick Pitino posted a suggestion that college basketball be moved back a couple months, with the NCAA Tournament in May (May Madness!!!) for one year only, but the idea doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction.

2) Dodger OF Cody Bellinger hurt his shoulder while celebrating a homer he hit in Game 7 of the World Series; he had that shoulder operated on this week.

1) Note on the NBA; last season, 77 undrafted players played 20+ games, so skill development is a huge thing, mistakes are made in evaluation and if guys work hard to improve their skills, they can still bank a lot of money, even if they aren’t drafted.

Tulane vs. Tulsa Week 12 Odds
Jonathan Willis

The Golden Hurricane are flying high after last Saturday’s win over SMU.

Tulsa is undefeated (4-0) in the American, and this is likely the only team that has a chance to prevent Cincinnati from winning the AAC.

The last three games of the season won’t be easy though, starting this week when the Tulane Green Wave come to town.

Tulane has looked sharp the last few weeks, thanks to a much-improved defense.

Week 12 Matchup: American
Venue: Chapman Stadium
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Date: Thursday, November 19, 2020
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
TV: ESPN

Tulsa has been a solid investment for bettors this season, going 4-1 both straight up and against the spread. (AP)

Line Movements

Spread: Tulsa -5.5
Money-Line: Tulsa -240 Tulane +200
Total: 54.5

How to Handicap Tulane-Tulsa

Cancellations and postponements have led to Tulsa playing just five games this season. The Golden Hurricane were heavy underdogs in their first two games after going 4-8 in 2019, but they easily covered the spread against both Oklahoma State and UCF.

Tulsa’s defense held Chuba Hubbard under 100 rushing yards, and the Cowboys failed to pick up more than 300 total yards after Spencer Sanders was injured early.

Tulsa announced it was for real with a 34-26 upset of UCF in early October as a 20.5-point underdog. The Golden Hurricane held the Knights without a point in the final 25 minutes of the game, allowing the offense to overcome an 11-point halftime deficit.

They followed that up with wins over USF and East Carolina before last week’s big 28-24 win over SMU. Tulsa trailed 21-0 early in the second quarter, but Houston scored just three points after its start.

The Green Wave are one of the few teams to not have their schedule seriously impacted by COVID. Tulane has played nine games this season, and Willie Fritz hasn’t had to deal with any long layoffs.

This offense has been solid throughout the 2020 season. Tulane has scored at least 24 points in every game, and the Green Wave have put up at least 31 points in their last seven games since Michael Pratt took over for Keon Howard.

The defense has come alive over the last three weeks too, as Tulane has allowed just 12 PPG in easy wins and covers against Temple, East Carolina, and Army the last three weeks.

Betting Analysis – Green Wave

Straight Up - SU, Against the Spread - ATS, Over-Under (O/U)

2020: 5-4 SU, 6-3 ATS, 6-2-1 O/U

Tulane has a gem in Pratt. The true freshman seized the reins from Howard, and this offense has looked much better from that point forward.

Pratt had accuracy issues in his first few games, failing to complete more than 50 percent of his passes in his first three appearances, but he has settled into the role. He has completed at least 57 percent of his passes in four straight games, and he is a dynamic runner in this offense.

Fritz loves to run the ball. The Green Wave are currently averaging 5.3 YPC and 224.8 YPG on the ground. The five leading rushers on this team are all averaging more than 5.5 YPC with Stephon Huderson and Cameron Carroll leading the way. Huderson is the big-play RB (6.6 YPC), while Carroll shines in short yardage (10 TDs).

Duece Watts has established himself as the go-to receiver for Pratt. He leads the team in every receiving category with 26 receptions for 448 yards (17.2 YPR) and five touchdowns. His twin brother Phat Watts is one of the other top options along with Jha’Quan Jackson.

The Green Wave were shredded by some good offenses in the middle of the season. They couldn’t stop Houston, SMU, or UCF, but they have looked much better in recent weeks. Tulane does a good job of stopping the run (3.3 YPC), but the pass defense has been abysmal (8.8 YPA).

Edge rusher Patrick Johnson has been a playmaker with 10 sacks and two forced fumbles on the year.

Betting Analysis - Golden Hurricane

2020: 4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U

QB Zach Smith isn’t a world-beater, but he has been consistent over his four years with Tulsa. He is having the best season of his career as a senior, completing 61.5 percent of his passes for 8.0 YPA with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. Smith isn’t much of a runner, so that puts a bit of a cap on the offense, but he doesn’t make a lot of poor throws either.

The loss of starting running back Shamari Brooks prior to the start of the season was a big blow for the Golden Hurricane. Sophomores Deneric Prince and T.K. Wilkerson has stepped up to fill the void though, teaming up to average 4.7 YPC.

Keylon Stokes and Josh Johnson are Smith’s two favorite options in the passing game. The Golden Hurricane don’t throw much though as Tulsa is averaging just 31.4 passes per game this season.

Tulsa’s defense has been very good. The Golden Hurricane are ranked 31st in defensive SP+, and that is the primary catalyst for their turnaround in 2020. Linebacker Zaven Collins is a potential AAC Defensive Player of the Year choice with four sacks, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles in five games.

Historically Speaking

Head-to-Head

Tulsa won 11 of its first 13 games against Tulane, but the Green Wave are on a three-game winning streak. They hammered the Golden Hurricane 62-28 for their biggest win in this series three years ago, and it’s been all Tulane since that point.

Last Meeting

Tulane gashed Tulsa on the ground when these teams met last season. The Green Wave ran the ball 46 times for 293 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-26 win over the Golden Hurricane.

Justin McMillan threw two interceptions, but Tulsa was only able to kick field goals despite the good field position those turnovers provided.

Notable Betting Trends

-- Tulane has covered five straight games

-- The favorite is 13-3 ATS in this series

-- The over is 5-1 in the last six games between these teams

********************************

Friday’s Den: Random stuff on a chilly autumn day

Seattle 28, Cardinals 21
— First time in six games Arizona scored less than 30 points.
— Arizona ran the ball only 18 times for 57 yards.
— Redbirds had only two plays of 20+ yards.
— Arizona trailed at halftime in seven of its ten games.

— Seattle ran ball for 165 yards, threw for 182; good balance.
— Seattle is 4-1 ATS as a home favorite this year.
— Seahawks scored a safety with 9:12 left when they led 23-21.
— Both teams converted over 50% of their third down plays.

— 42 years ago Thursday (today as I type this), November 19, 1978, was the Miracle of the Meadowlands, when the Giants had the Eagles beaten at home, but instead of taking a knee, they tried a handoff, fumbled and Eagles DB Herm Edwards (yes, him) picked the ball up and scored the touchdown that propelled the Eagles into the playoffs that year.

The play changed the NFL forever, because everyone takes a knee now at the end of games, and they started doing it pretty much right after that day.

As a lifelong Rams fan, though, the game was significant to me for other reasons; Philly made the Super Bowl two years after that, but their coach quit after the ’82 season and became a TV commentator, and a good one, doing both pro/college games.

In 1997, after 14 years on TV, Dick Vermeil became coach of the Rams, and won the Super Bowl in his third year with the then-St Louis Rams.

The Giants’ coach on that day in 1978 was John McVay, who went 14-23 in New Jersey but got fired after the ’78 season. You may have heard of his grandson; current Rams’ coach Sean McVay.

— Back to the present; the Los Angeles Rams have won their last 31 games when they led at halftime, longest current streak in the NFL.

— Bad news from the Bay Area: Klay Thompson tore his right achilles, is done for this season. Thompson was just about done with a 17-month rehab from his left ACL being torn. He will be 31 years old in February; we wish him well in rehabbing this injury.

Warriors are trading for Kelly Oubre Jr., to try and fill part of the void left by Thompson’s injury.

— This is very 2020; Tulane played its 10th football game, before Utah played any games.

— LaMelo Ball got drafted 3rd Wednesday night, by the Hornets; hard to believe that its been over three years since I saw him play in an AAU game in Las Vegas.

July 2017, I’m at the Cashman Center in downtown Vegas, where there are seven courts under one roof at an Adidas tournament. I’m taking notes for this site, oblivious to what may or may not happen, I just knew there were a whole lot of games going to be played.

There is a main court, where the game was broadcast on the Interweb and there was a big video screen up on the wall showing the action, so I hunkered down by that court, and then noticed that the 4th and last game of the night would be LaVar Ball’s team, with his youngest son on it.

Didn’t think much about it at the time, but at the end of the first game, the bleachers were packed with kids, tons of kids. AAU games usually have some college coaches and a handful of friends/family, but there are like 1,000 people milling around, it was crazy.

So it turns out that LaVar Ball’s team was playing a team from South Carolina, which had a really good player named Zion Williamson on it— you may have heard of him. I was sitting next to a college coach, asked him who he thought would win— he said Zion’s team by 30-40.

So LaMelo’s team presses the whole game, takes a ton of 3’s, while all Zion does on offense is be an outlet against the press- they’d lob the ball to him and he’d find an open teammate. The game was way closer than expected, ended like 110-95, something like that.

Saw the boxscore the next day; Ball’s team took 46 3-pointers, Zion’s team took one— one!!!!

No idea if LaMelo Ball will be a good pro; he can shoot/pass, no clue if he has any other basketball skills. His career has been extremely dysfunctional— he didn’t finish his high school career, never played in college, has already played pro ball in two countries.

Can he be part of a professional team? Can he deal with sitting on the bench? Will he work his butt off to improve his craft? I’m not saying he can’t/won’t, its just that no one knows yet, but being drafted by Michael Jordan’s team is a pretty hefty endorsement.

— One of the weirder things that day was that Patrick Ewing was there, recruiting for his team at Georgetown. He is sitting right by this court, with hundreds of kids who love basketball buzzing around, and Ewing gets up and goes to the concession stand. Not one kid says a word to him— he is one of the 50 greatest players ever!!!

But hey, there’s Lonzo Ball over there, scrolling thru his iPhone. Kids know who he is. Ewing was probably glad no one bugged him, but it was strange.

— Knicks created $40M in salary cap space Thursday, when they cut six players.

— Random knowledge gained from watching too much TV: when Joe Buck was a much younger person, he was a Houston Oilers fan. He was talking about Colts’ coach Frank Reich and the great comeback Reich led against the Oilers in the playoffs, when he played for Buffalo.

— Korean World Series is going on this week; five teams make their playoffs, but the #1 seed gets a bye straight to the World Series, so the NC Dinos had 16 days off before the series started. Not sure that’s a good thing. Dinos and Doosan Bears split the first two games of the series.

Tulsa 30, Tulane 24 OT:
— Tulsa ran an INT back 96 yards for the game-winning TD in OT.
— Game was scoreless at halftime; Tulane led 14-0 with 4:00 left in 3rd quarter.
— Tulane took a 21-14 lead with 1:38 left in game.
— Tulsa tied game on a 37-yard TD pass at the gun in regulation.
— Tulsa outgained Tulane 522-302, converted 10-21 third down plays.

Purdue vs. Minnesota Week 12 Odds
Jonathan Willis

The Big Ten is in the spotlight Friday night with a matchup of West rivals as Purdue visits Minnesota.

Here is a look at a battle in the Big Ten West Friday night to start another big college football weekend.

Week 12 Matchup: Big Ten Conference
Venue: TCF Bank Stadium

Spread: Purdue -2.5
Money-Line: Purdue -130 Minnesota +110
Total: 61

Purdue running back Zander Horvath looks to continue his ground success when visiting Minnesota this week. (AP)

How to Handicap Purdue-Minnesota

Minnesota delivered a breakthrough 2019 season as a co-division champion and bowl winner that landed in the national top 10 by the end of the season, but Purdue nearly spoiled that path in the Big Ten opener last season.

All four September wins for Minnesota last season were close calls and after leading 38-17 through three quarters, Purdue had a pair of late touchdowns to climb within seven hosting the Golden Gophers last season.

Purdue appeared to make the stop it needed with an incomplete pass on 3rd down, set to get the ball back with still almost three minutes remaining but pass interference effectively handed Minnesota the win.

Minnesota has won the past two meetings in this series including a 41-10 win in the last meeting in Minneapolis in 2018 when Purdue was a double-digit road favorite.

P.J. Fleck did lose to Jeff Brohm in 2017 in West Lafayette in the first season for both head coaches in the Big Ten. Minnesota has now won six of the past seven meetings in this series.

Purdue is 2-1 this season but is coming off a tough loss hosting Northwestern last week, a game that could have put the Boilermakers in the division lead. Minnesota was humiliated last week hosting Iowa, losing 35-7 with the shutout spoiled with 14 seconds to go.

Minnesota draws the two remaining undefeated Big Ten West teams in the next two weeks as this contest now looms as one of the only remaining opportunities for another win in a steep crash for the program in 2020. Purdue can still put together a respectable season as they will have home games vs. losing teams the next two weeks and had their matchup with top West threat Wisconsin cancelled.

Quarterback Corner

After a breakthrough 2018 season led by David Blough, Purdue struggled with lesser quarterback play last season as Jack Plummer, Aidan O’Connell, and Elijah Sindelar shared the snaps.

O’Connell won the job this season over Plummer and has a fine season line, though a near flawless outing vs. a marginal Illinois defense has padded the numbers.

The junior has completed nearly 65 percent of his passes and is likely to eclipse last season’s marks in yardage and touchdowns this week.

Originally recruited by Fleck to Western Michigan, Tanner Morgan emerged as the Minnesota starter as a freshman in 2018.

He delivered a huge campaign last season with 30 touchdowns and only seven interceptions, passing for over 3,000 yards on 10.2 yards per attempt with a lot of big plays. Despite great talent in the receiving corps and a veteran offensive line, Morgan’s numbers have fallen off a cliff this season, dropping his completion rate by 8.5 percent and losing nearly three yards per attempt.

Betting Analysis – Purdue

2020: 2-1 S/U, 1-2 ATS, 0-3 O/U

While last week Purdue competed well in a defensive grind with now 4-0 Northwestern, the Boilermakers have been bested in yardage in all three games despite being 2-1. The win over Iowa in the opener featured a comeback late in the fourth quarter while outgained by 74 yards while Purdue had to hold off a comeback bid from Illinois to reach 2-0.

Purdue trailed 27-13 in the fourth quarter last week and in all likelihood had the game with Wisconsin been played, the Boilermakers would be entering this game at 2-2 with lesser numbers and not likely sitting as a road favorite.

Purdue was actually -11 at Minnesota in November 2018 before losing 41-10 and has lost ATS the past three instances when laying points in Minneapolis.

Brohm was targeted by Louisville after back-to-back bowl seasons that included the 49-20 win over Ohio State in 2018. He opted to stay put and now finds himself at 19-22 in his career and looking to avoid a third straight losing season.

The offense has posted only 5.2 yards per play but has allowed only 5.4 yards per play as while the offense may be at a slight disadvantage in this game, the defense has been much more reliable than Minnesota’s defense.

Betting Analysis - Minnesota

2020: 1-3 S/U, 1-3 ATS, 2-2 O/U

Fleck led a great turnaround in four years at Western Michigan going from 1-11 in 2013 to 13-1 in 2016. He appeared to be a year ahead of schedule after 5-7 and 7-6 seasons, breaking through to 11-2 last season for the Gophers.

Minnesota did have a few suspect results with three close games in non-conference play but the enthusiasm for the program climbed to heights not seen in decades, reaching a peak winning a November showdown with Penn State in a pairing of undefeated teams.

The Gophers would lose two of the final three Big Ten West games and Wisconsin represented the division in the Big Ten title game but a nice win over Auburn in the Outback Bowl capped off a great season.

Expectations were elevated for Fleck and the Gophers heading into 2020 particularly with a veteran offensive line along with Morgan, Bateman and running back Mohamed Ibrahim, who was a productive complement to Rodney Smith last season.

Minnesota is 1-3 however and the losses haven’t been particularly competitive. Minnesota has scored 116 points in four games but opponents have averaged nearly 36 points per game against the Gophers. The Gophers are allowing 7.8 yards per play to sit as one of the nation’s worst defenses statistically.

There has been a slight home field edge for the Gophers in the Fleck era with a 15-8 S/U mark having gone 12-11 ATS since he took over in 2017, though only 8-8 S/U & 8-8 ATS in Big Ten home games, now dropping each of the past three as home underdogs including both instances this season.

Historically Speaking

Head-to-Head

Minnesota has a 39-33 historical edge in this series including winning six of the past seven meetings.

Purdue has not won in Minneapolis in any of the past five trips, last winning at the Metrodome in 2007, as the Boilermakers have never won at TCF Bank Stadium.

Minnesota has scored at least 31 points in each of the past seven home meetings in this series.

Last Meeting - 2019 (Minnesota 38, Purdue 31)

Notable Betting Trends

-- Under Brohm, Purdue is 10-6 ATS on the road including covering in all four Big Ten road games last season.

-- Purdue is 6-11 ATS as a road favorite since 2007, with a 4-4 ATS mark under Brohm.

-- Minnesota is 5-5 ATS as a home underdog under Fleck, losing each of the past three instances.

-- Since 2018 Minnesota is 9-7 ATS when getting points in any venue, on a current 7-4 ATS run since October 2018.
