The morning line

EPL The marquee game is Ipswich Town at Manchester United, with Manchester United a heavy favorite at home and looking to bounce back after an unbeaten start doesn't yet include a win at Old Trafford. Chelsea hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in a tighter clash between two unbeaten sides, and a clean sheet there would say a lot about Chelsea's early defense. Don't sleep on Brentford at Leeds United either, a scrappy underdog spot for Leeds United that could easily end nil-nil or swing on a single set piece.

MLB The marquee tilt is the Marlins-Nationals game already knotted at four in extras, a true getaway day battle where one shaky bullpen inning ends it on a walk-off. Miami is fighting for its playoff life at 68-67 while Washington plays spoiler, so every pitch out of the pen matters. Later tonight, keep an eye on Boston at Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees are favored at home and both lineups have a heart of the order capable of sending one over the wall.

MLS The marquee game is FC Cincinnati at Nashville SC, where Nashville sits near the top of the East and a clean sheet at home would push its case further. Keep an eye on Houston Dynamo FC hosting the San Jose Earthquakes too, a tight Western Conference clash between two clubs chasing the same playoff positioning. Elsewhere, LAFC visiting D.C. United is close on paper, the kind of match that could easily end level if nobody finds the net early.

NCAA Football The marquee matchup tonight is Florida State hosting New Mexico State, though at Florida State minus 31.5 this one's more about garbage-time stats than drama, so keep an eye on the over at 53.5 if the Seminoles keep pushing into the red zone. The real intrigue is Memphis at UNLV, a near pick-em where the Rebels are only favored by 4 and time of possession could decide it. Early action is already underway too, with North Dakota State up 17-7 on Jacksonville State at the half after controlling the line of scrimmage.

NFL The marquee action tonight is the Chicago Bears at the Tennessee Titans, a preseason tune-up where the Bears lead 7-6 midway through the second quarter. It's not much to hang your hat on scoreboard-wise, but with the Titans sitting 2-0 in the preseason and the Bears at 1-1, both coaching staffs are watching how their offensive lines hold up at the line of scrimmage before final roster cuts. Keep an eye on whether either team can string together a sustained drive into the red zone, since so far this one has the look of a field-position, garbage-time-stats kind of night.

WNBA Circle the Minnesota Lynx heading into Atlanta to face the Dream, a real measuring-stick game with the league's best record on the line and only a point and a half separating them on the board. Golden State's Valkyries roll into Portland as heavy favorites looking to keep stacking buckets against a Fire team that's been getting ate up on defense lately. Toronto and Phoenix round out the night, but this one's mostly about whether the Lynx can go into Atlanta and take care of business without their +/- taking a hit.
