Weekend Sports Huddle with Tom Pollin and Dave Holcomb

WRSP presents the 19th weekly episode of Weekend Sports Huddle with co-hosts Tom Pollin and Dave Holcomb. Dave is away this week so Tom Pollin will be flying the show solo.

The Chicago Cubs' offense fell into a deep slump, getting shut out by Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill in games two and three of the NLCS before breaking out to win the final two games in Los Angeles and return home up 3 games to two. They'll attempt to close the series this weekend and move on to their first World Series appearance since 1945. Tom will also examine the growing man-crush Joe Buck has displayed for Clayton Kershaw.

The first game of the World Series takes place Tuesday night  with the Cleveland Indians hosting the winner of the NLCS. The Indians are 7-1 so far this postseason and have enough pitching to make life miserable for the National League champions.

Week 7 of the NFL season is under way and it's difficult to see how the Bears can sink any lower. They lost Thursday night to the Green Bay Packers 26-10 and lost backup quarterback Brian Hoyer, likely for the remainder of the season, with a broken left arm in the second quarter. Third Stringer Matt Barkley finished but where do the Bears find another quarterback in time for their Week 8 battle against the Minnesota Vikings?

The Steelers were pounded last week by the Miami Dolphins, losing Ben Roethlisberger in the process with a knee injury. Surgery on his meniscus will keep him out of action for the next four weeks, just as the 2016 Tom Brady revenge tour hits Pittsburgh. 

Our Week 7 NFL discussion will also include Nostrathomas Predicts with picks against the spread that you can take to the bank.
