Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor, Ryan Brown, live from the Birmingham Racecourse Casino Studios.

The next round, presented by Bud Light, is on now.

Ten months after popping his Achilles, Jason Tatum could return tonight in Boston, Dallas and Boston 6 o'clock ESPN.

We're about to talk all sports with Todd Furman after LT tells you about our friends at Odies.

Odies Tavern, a great place to watch college hoops this weekend.

Of course, if you like the live music, both locations, live music tonight and

tomorrow night, the original location at Crestline, newest location in Edgewood, fantastic food

at both from Rodney Davis, those homemade croutons we talk about. Very good. Fantastic chili,

burger, sandwiches, everything right there. Get in, ice cold beer buckets as well with the Bud Light. See Will

Haver and the Great Stap. Birmingham Institution is SOTE Stavvers. All right, Todd Furman is CBS Sports, former odds maker at Caesar's Palace, had Todd Furman on social media, and he joins us now on the Alexander Shinar trial attorney's hotline. Welcome in, Furman. How was your Friday so far? no complaints thus far gentlemen but I won't have claimed that I got up early in the morning at about 2 a.m. local time to watch Team Japan take care of Chinese Taipei and the World Baseball Classic.

I'll leave the handicapping of that endeavor to LT himself.

I mean, Team USA to Team Japan. I mean, who is the favorite right now? Team USA, the short shot on the board, priced less than two to one. Team Japan got a little bit of betting interest, but the team that's really caught some buzz has been the Dominican Republic. When you go through their lineup from top to bottom, it is a who's who of some of the best hitters in all of Major League Baseball, but the $100 million question always remains, can they get enough out? That's been the team that has moved the most in the futures market for about 6 to 1 where they opened, now down in that 3.5 to 1 range, and I'm not sure this will surprise anybody, but Great Britain, Chechia, and Chinese Taipei, nor Brazil have taken any respected money to win this bi-annual event. Hey, can I get a little play on Italy to make a run? Is Italy? I don't even know if Italy, yeah, they're in the field. I had to go through and scroll all the way down to try and find them. Not to win it, just to play. They're a hot, live dog. Yeah, just to win some.

I mean, here, this is must-see TV, then.

You have to circle on your calendar the game on Saturday where Italy takes on Brazil and

pool play might give them the best opportunity, but I don't think Frank Catalanato

was walking through that door anytime soon.

Here in this state, a little more mainstream as Auburn pays a visit to Alabama Saturday.

The tide was a dog, of course, then at Neville Arena.

Bemma will be favored here.

Where does Todd Furman have this game when you look at it?

What do you think the point spread would be for Alabama facing Auburn in Tuscaloosa tomorrow night? Side, of course, had their long winning streak come to a screeching halt in Athens earlier this week, a 10-point loss, giving up nearly 100 points to the Georgia Bulldogs. But what should be a nice bounceback spot, at least on paper, against their in-state rival from a point spread perspective. I'm right in the ballpark of Alabama minus 10.
