What Bettors Should Know for Sunday, August 24
MLB – Last night the Athletics got a crucial 2-1 victory over the Angels and now share the lead atop the AL West. Tonight they’ll square off again as Oakland are playing on Sunday Night Baseball in consecutive weeks after not appearing at all since 2006.
NFL – Last night was a bad one in terms of injuries as Broncos WR Wes Welker suffered a concussion, as did Ravens RB Bernard Pierce. Both are questionable to play Week 1.
– The Rams avoided a major scare as QB Sam Bradford left the game with a knee injury but suffered no damage.
– Packers DT BJ Raji will miss the entire season due to a torn biceps.
– While not injury-related, Broncos K Matt Prater will miss the first four games of the season due to suspension for violating the substance-abuse policy.
