Time for Thanks, Faves on a Roll, Gambler Stays in Hospital?

We're thankful for so much this week and we start with sage words from George Washington.  And I don't think he'd mind if he knew we love football and maybe even wager on the games.  Thanksgiving favorites are on a roll... but it's a basketball underdog I have my sights set on.  Lee Sterling of Paramountsports.com has all the lines and the story of a friend in the hospital with Covid, that didn't want to be released.  It's the greatest gambler superstition story ever.
