Betting 2024 Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts | Week 12 Games
Detroit has been dominant this season, sitting at 9-1 and leading the NFC North.
The Lions aim to continue their strong play and solidify their position as one of the league’s top teams.
Indianapolis enters the game at 5-6, still in the mix in the AFC South.
The Colts are looking to build momentum after a narrow win against the Jets last week.
Playing at home, they’ll try to slow down a high-powered Detroit offense that has been unstoppable lately.
Betting on the Betting Odds
Detroit enters the game as a 7.5-point favorite, highlighting their dominance this season.
The Lions’ moneyline is set at -330, while the Colts are +255 underdogs.
The total for the game is 50 points, reflecting the expectation of a high-scoring contest.
Betting trends favor Detroit, which has an 8-2 record against the spread this NFL season.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis has covered in eight of their 11 games but faces a tough challenge against one of the league’s most complete teams.
Betting on the Detroit Lions
The Lions come into this game on an eight-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history since 1934.
Detroit’s offense leads the league, scoring 33.6 points per game.
Jared Goff has been at the center of this success, rebounding from a rough outing two weeks ago with 412 passing yards and four touchdowns last week. (Check out more Quarterback Matchups for NFL Week 12.)
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a consistent target for Goff, catching touchdowns in eight straight games.
The running game, led by David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, has also been productive, combining for nearly 1,400 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns this season.
Gibbs is averaging 6.0 yards per carry, providing an explosive element to Detroit’s offense.
Detroit’s defense has held strong despite losing linebacker Alex Anzalone to injury.
The secondary has been effective at limiting big plays, forcing opponents to earn every yard.
However, the absence of Anzalone could make stopping the Colts’ rushing attack more difficult.
Betting on the Indianapolis Colts
The Colts snapped a three-game losing streak with a 28-27 win over the Jets last week.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson returned to the lineup and accounted for three touchdowns, including the game-winning score in the final minute.
Richardson avoided interceptions but struggled with ball security, fumbling twice.
Indianapolis’ offense has relied on Jonathan Taylor to establish the run.
Taylor has been solid but will need a big performance against Detroit’s defense.
Receiver Michael Pittman remains a top target, contributing consistent production even while dealing with minor injuries.
Defensively, the Colts face a major challenge in stopping Detroit’s high-scoring offense.
DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart anchor the defensive line, but the secondary must improve to contain Goff and his receivers.
Linebackers Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed will play key roles in slowing down Detroit’s rushing attack.
Detroit Lions vs. Indianapolis Colts Pick & Prediction
This game looks favorable for the Lions, who have been firing on all cylinders.
Their offense has been difficult to stop, and Goff’s ability to spread the ball around should put pressure on the Colts’ defense.
If Detroit’s defense can contain Richardson and limit big plays, they are well-positioned for another win.
Indianapolis will likely put up a fight, but the Lions’ balance on both sides of the ball gives them the advantage.
Expect Detroit to cover the spread and continue their impressive season.

#12 Duke with ACC Rookie of the Week Cooper Flagg visits #17 Arizona in the Week 3 – NCAAB 2024 Odds
It’s a potential Final Four preview in easily the marquee college basketball matchup around the country as No. 12 Duke and freshman sensation Cooper Flagg visit No. 17 Arizona, which was an upset winner at Duke last season.
The Cats are short favorites on the NCAAB odds in the Week 3.
Opening NCAAB Lines Subject to Change: Arizona -1 (total 160.5) Expert Prediction: Arizona 77, Duke 75
Duke Blue Devils NCAAB Line -103
Duke (3-1) followed a tough loss to Kentucky with an easy 86-35 blowout of Wofford on Saturday, the fewest points scored by a Duke opponent since 1968, when NC State managed 12 points (March 8, 1968). The Blue Devils opened a 39-point lead in the first half and held Wofford to 24.6% shooting for the game. The Terriers went more than six minutes without scoring in the first half. The 35 points allowed bested the 37 Duke gave up in games in 2002 and 1997 for the fewest allowed since 1968. Duke’s defense forced 19 turnovers, including four shot clock violations.
Tyrese Proctor
Proctor led Duke with 15 points, while Caleb Foster, Khaman Maluach and Isaiah Evans joined Proctor in double-figures, with 14, 13 and 11, respectively. Star freshman Cooper Flagg led the rebounding effort with nine total boards. Flagg stuffed the stat sheet, adding eight points, and game-highs in assists (six), steals (three) and blocks (two). The Blue Devils shared the ball for a season-high 24 assists on 30 field goals. They also made 10-of-11 free throws (90.9%) for their best shooting percentage from the foul line since connecting on all four free throws at Syracuse on Feb. 18, 2023.
Jon Scheyer
“A great bounce back game. Really proud of how we shared the ball,” Coach Scheyer said. “We’ve talked a lot about the process of the season, how no matter what, win or lose, how you respond is really important. Sharing the ball is a great sign of our guys responding to (the Kentucky loss).”
Cooper Flagg
Flagg was named ACC Men’s Rookie of the Week for last week after averaging 17.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 blocked shots and 1.5 steals in two games. Over the last 11 seasons (since the start of 2013-14), Duke has had an ACC Rookie of the Week in 87 of a possible 188 weeks (46.3%). Twenty-six different Blue Devils have won the award at least once in that time. Flagg is the second Blue Devil to earn an ACC weekly award this season, joining his classmate Kon Knueppel, who was named ACC Rookie of the Week on Nov. 11.
Duke is in the midst of a six-game stretch against four teams that are ranked in the Associated Press top-25 poll (No. 19 Kentucky, No. 17 Arizona, No. 1 Kansas and No. 4 Auburn). About 41% of Duke’s points have come from the 3-point line this season per KenPom, which is the 38th highest rate in the country. Flagg has hit just 4 of his 18 3-pointers (22.2%). But Arizona ranks 243rd nationally at KenPom in opponent 3-point percentage.
Arizona (2-1) comes off a 103-88 loss at Wisconsin on Friday. John Tonje had a career-high 41 points — two shy of the Wisconsin record — to lead the Badgers. Wisconsin never trailed, and fans stormed the Kohl Center court after the final horn. Tonje shot 8 for 14 from the floor, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range, and was 21 for 22 at the foul line. His 21 free throws set a school mark.
Arizona rallied to tie it 65-all with 14:13 left on KJ Lewis’ layup that capped an 8-0 run. John Blackwell put Wisconsin back ahead for good with 13:36 remaining. After that tying basket by Lewis, Arizona missed its next six field goal attempts. Wisconsin’s 103 points were its most against a ranked opponent in program history. The Badgers broke the century mark for the first time against a ranked opponent since Feb.10, 1970 at No. 14 Iowa (L, 100-119).
Caleb Love
The Wildcats couldn’t overcome a rough night for preseason Associated Press All-America guard Caleb Love, who shot 2 of 13 and scored six points before fouling out with 4:57 left. A total of 63 fouls were called, and the teams shot a combined 87 free throws. Both were in the bonus with more than 13 minutes remaining in the first half, and they were both in the double-bonus with about seven minutes left in the game as well.
Trey Townsend
Early in the second half, Arizona forward Townsend went down with an apparent leg injury and left for the locker room after he had scored five points in four minutes. He returned to the game shortly after, adding five more points to his second-half total.
Tommy Lloyd
“I mean we’re going to be a good team,” Coach Lloyd said. “I’m not worried about that. This was just a great opportunity on the road to challenge ourselves. We’ve been comfortable. We’ve been practicing against each other, we’ve been playing games, exhibition games, games at (McKale Center). And we’ve got a hell of a home-court advantage. And we’ve been comfortable. We had to get outside of that to figure out who we are. I’m not interested in going undefeated. Not at all. Our program is ready to take the next step.”
Jaden Bradley & Love
Returning from last season’s team is the starting backcourt of Jaden Bradley and Love, who has a long history of tormenting Duke from his days at North Carolina, and continued that in the last meeting by assisting on the team’s go-ahead layup in the final moments. This season Bradley leads the team in scoring at 14.7 per night while Love is third at 11.0.
Up wrong, Arizona is led by upperclassmen Tobe Awaka and Townsend. Awaka is a terrific rebounder, averaging 12.3 per game in the team’s opening contests. The junior ranks second in the nation in offensive rebounding percentage, and 11th in the country in defensive rebounding percentage. As a team Arizona leads the country, grabbing 50.5 percent of its misses while ranking third in the country in defensive rebounding percentage.
Friday will mark the 11th meeting between the two programs as the Wildcats hold a 6-4 record and have won the past three. Arizona was an upset winner in Durham early in the 2023-24 season by a score of 78-73 when it was ranked No. 12 and Duke was No. 2. Keshad Johnson hit a tough whistle-drawing layup for a three-point play with 46.8 seconds left that pushed Arizona in front for good. It was the Wildcats’ first road win against a top-2 ranked opponent since March 2001.
Finishing as the #1 team in the country in college basketball is certainly a fantastic accomplishment, but it does not come with any guarantee of success in the tournament. This is true of every sport, as we routinely see the top teams fall along the way and fail to make it all the way to the title game. In college basketball, what finishing at or near the top does deliver is a potentially smoother passage through the playoffs. Securing a #1 seed in one of the four regional brackets once March Madness begins gives those teams a bit of a leg up against the competition on their side of the bracket.
With most teams still having 7 or 8 games left to play this regular season, we are still a long way from knowing who will land in that coveted #1 spot. That said, the Duke Blue Devils are making a serious bid for the top spot and will look to continue their charge when they go on the road to face the Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday night. Duke is in as an 8.5-point favorite, with the point total set at 151.

How to Bet 2019 March Madness Tournament
Why bet on the Duke Blue Devils?
The Duke Blue Devils are currently occupying the #2 spot in the national rankings, but there are certainly a lot of pundits and basketball fans out there who believe that they are the best team in the country and the one most likely to hoist the national championship trophy this season. Duke is 20-2 on the season and appear to be getting stronger as the season progresses.
They are on a 7-game winning streak coming into this one, with their latest victory being an impressive 10-point win on the road at #3 Virginia. The Blue Devils have covered the spread in 4 straight games, as well as 5 of their last 6, and they are also 4-2 SU in their last 6 meetings with Louisville. Duke is 13-8 ATS as a favorite this season, which includes being 3-1 ATS as the road favorite.

Why bet on the Louisville Cardinals?
The Louisville Cardinals are beginning to see their stock fall a little, as a run that has seen them lose 2 of their last 3 games has dropped them down to the #16 seed. This has still been a decent year for the Cardinal, who are 17-7 overall and an impressive 8-3 in conference play. Given the cutthroat nature of the ACC and the quality of the teams therein, that conference record is more impressive than it may seem at first glance.
They are just a game and a half back of Duke at the top, so you understand how a win here could help propel the Cardinals back up the standings in conference play, as well as in the national rankings. The Cardinals are 6-6-2 ATS at home, but just 1-2 ATS as a home underdog.

2024 NBA Cup Odds: Dallas Mavericks at Denver Nuggets Picks and Expert Analysis
The second game of an NBA on ESPN doubleheader on Friday night features the past two Western Conference champions facing off as Dallas visits Denver.
However, Mavs superstar Luka Doncic is out and Nuggets superstar and three-time MVP Nikola Jokic might be as well. Needless to say, the NBA odds are in flux for the NBA Cup matchup.
The Mavs have followed a four-game skid with three straight wins after trashing short-handed New Orleans 132-91 on Tuesday. Luka Doncic, who missed his first game of the season in Dallas’ win at Oklahoma City on Sunday due to a knee injury, returned to the lineup and had a game-high 26 points. He shot 10 of 16 overall and 3 for 8 from 3-point distance. Doncic hit a pair of step-back 3-pointers midway through the fourth quarter giving Dallas a 111-75 lead.
Indeed, it was a dominant performance by the Mavs, who shot 52.7 percent from the field and 45.2 percent from three-point land (14-of-31). In racking up their largest margin of victory this season, the Mavs won for the third straight game and were so impressive that the 30 minutes Doncic played were the most by any of their players.
Luka Doncic
“I think we’re just playing the right way, playing defense, playing with pace, and that’s getting into better starts,” said Doncic. “We know we can do it, and we just got to keep it going.”
However, Doncic strained his right wrist in the win and will miss at least one week. The five-time NBA All-Star is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists through 14 games. He’s shooting 43.5 percent from the field, the second-lowest mark of his career. Doncic returned to the lineup against the Pelicans after missing his first game of the season Sunday due to a right knee bruise.

Thompson finished with 19 points in Tuesday’s win, hitting 5-for-9 from deep. Although he remains one of the most proven perimeter scorers in the league, Thompson has struggled to find any consistency since arriving in Dallas. Across 15 games, he is averaging 14.0 points and 3.1 three-pointers per game. Kyrie Irving added 18 points and seven assists.
Jason Kidd
“He’s shooting the three at a very high level,” Mavs coach Kidd said of Irving, who was 4-for-5 from deep. “He might be the only one shooting the three at a decent clip, and we’ve got to get the rest of them going.”
In addition, the Mavs’ bench outscored their Pelican counterparts, 56-28, and outrebounded them by a 25-11 margin. Dallas’ reserves also had more assists (9-7) and more steals (5-4) than New Orleans’ reserves. As a whole, the Mavs’ bench players were 21-of-37 from the field for 56.8 percent, while the Pelicans’ bench players were 10-of-27 from the floor. That Dallas bench was led by Naji Marshall (15 points, three steals), Quentin Grimes (12 points, eight rebounds), Daniel Gafford (11 points, six rebounds) and Jaden Hardy (11 points).
Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic of the Nuggets missed Tuesday night’s 122-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the third straight game he missed for personal reasons. Reportedly, he’s in Serbia as his wife had a baby. Jokic leads the Nuggets in points (29.7), rebounds (13.7) and assists (11.7). Denver had lost the past two games — against New Orleans and Memphis — without Jokic before winning Tuesday.
Injury Report ahead of tomorrow's game against the Mavericks:
Coach Malone was noncommittal about whether Jokic would be available for Friday, but he wasn’t at practice on Thursday. In addition to Jokic, Denver is playing without forward Aaron Gordon, another key piece to the Nuggets’ offense.
“We shouldn’t play in a different way,” Malone said of not having Jokic. “Obviously, you don’t have a three-time MVP. I think we have to play harder. That should be with Nikola or without Nikola. I think we have to play more physical.”
Russell Westbrook
Denver guard Westbrook posted the 200th triple-double of his career in Tuesday’s win. The 36-year-old Westbrook finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, and it took him until the final minutes to accomplish the feat. With 1:28 left, Westbrook was one rebound shy when center Dario Saric missed a 3-pointer. Westbrook grabbed his only offensive rebound of the game.
Westbrook is 19 triple-doubles ahead of Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson, and 62 in front of Magic Johnson. His teammate — Jokic — is fourth with 136, followed by LeBron James at 117.
“It’s a blessing,” Westbrook said of reaching the milestone. “I’m truly grateful to be able to play the game [well enough] to do that. But I’m also appreciative of the ones who came before me.”
Jamal Murray
Murray has been struggling this season but broke out Tuesday with 27 points (10-of-20 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, three steals, two blocks and five 3-pointers. It hasn’t been an easy six months for Murray. He had a difficult Olympics with Team Canada. He had a slow recovery from a calf strain. He’s faced criticism and scrutiny concerning his play to start this season. Murray is averaging 18.3 points per game, which would be his lowest average since the 2018-19 season. He’s shooting 41 percent from the field, which would be his lowest since his rookie season, 2016-17. He’s shooting 33.4 percent from 3-point range, which would be the lowest of his career.
“I take full accountability,” Murray said. “It’s not easy when you aren’t playing well. It hasn’t been easy with guys like Nikola and Aaron (Gordon) out. We were fully capable of winning these last games. But, for me, I have to play better. I have to take account for that. It starts with me.”
Vlatko Cancar
Reserve forward Cancar exited Tuesday’s game in the second quarter due to a left knee sprain and didn’t return. It’s the same knee in which he tore his ACL last summer. Prior to the injury, Cancar had scored five points and grabbed four rebounds in 11 minutes of action.
These teams met on Nov. 10 also in Denver and the Nuggets won 122-120. Michael Porter Jr. hit a mid-range jumper with seven seconds left for the win. Nikola Jokic had 37 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists, while Jamal Murray had 18 points and Porter finished with 17. Kyrie Irving had a season-high 43 points for Dallas. Luka Doncic added 24 points and Daniel Gafford had 16. Irving’s bank shot gave Dallas a 120-118 lead with 1:39 left but Jokic then had a tying tip-in and ahead of Porter’s winning shot. Irving missed a 3-point try at the buzzer. The Mavericks lead the Nuggets in the all-time series, 96-93 (.508) and hold a record of 61-32 at home and 36-61 on the road.

Season Series
The teams met on Nov. 3 in Denver in the first meeting of the season and the Nuggets won 125-114. Nikola Jokic scored 33 points and went 14 of 16 from the field while adding 14 rebounds and nine assists. Michael Porter Jr. scored 24 points, and Jamal Murray had 18 points and 13 assists for the Nuggets, who led by 20 points in the third quarter before seeing Dallas trim it to eight late in the game. Jokic made a cutting layup with 1:11 remaining to seal it. Luka Doncic finished with 34 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists but also had nine turnovers for Dallas. Kyrie Irving chipped in 22 points. Dallas leads the all-time series 96-91 and has won the past two but is just 32-60 all-time in Denver.
Why Bet on Dallas?
The Mavericks come off a 131-120 win in Portland on Saturday despite playing yet again without injured All-Star guard Kyrie Irving as he continues recovering from a right heel contusion. He initially wore a walking boot and used crutches to walk around days after the injury, but he no longer needs crutches. Still, Irving won’t play Monday and probably not this week. Reserves Josh Green and Maxi Kleber also have been sidelined.
Luka Doncic is one of the MVP favorites this season and was spectacular in Saturday’s win as he finished with 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in racking up his 61st career triple-double. He also posted his eight career 40-point triple-double, giving him one more than the great Wilt Chamberlain. In addition, this was the 79th time Doncic has scored 35 or more points in a game. That’s tops on the Mavs’ all-time franchise chart and one more than Dirk Nowitzki strung together.
“When you talk about someone who passed Dirk for the most 35-point games, Dirk played for 100 years and Luka has played for six,” coach Jason Kidd said. “That’s how good (Doncic) is. And then you talk about passing Wilt for the most 40-point triple-doubles. That’s special.”
Doncic has been carrying a heavy workload lately. And Kidd is worried: “We are concerned about the minutes,” Kidd said. “He’s averaging 40 here in the last (seven games), so that means he’s playing over 40 minutes a night.”
Tim Hardaway Jr. had 25 points and six rebounds in the win. Hardaway led all bench players in Saturday’s game in scoring and rebounds while leading the Mavericks in threes made. Hardaway has been stellar off the Dallas bench this season, tallying 20 or more points in seven contests including in three of his last four games. Hardaway has been strong from deep as of late as well, connecting on at least four threes in four of his last five outings. Rookie center Dereck Lively left with a sprained ankle and in doubt for this one.
The Mavericks have recorded 15 games of 120 points this season, the most 120-point games through 24 games to start a season in franchise history. The next most is nine (1982-83). The Mavs are now 16-9 overall and in third place in the Western Conference. They also own the NBA’s best road record at 9-4.

Why Bet on Denver?
The Nuggets had a three-game winning streak snapped Saturday in a 118-117 home upset loss to Oklahoma City as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a turnaround jumper with a second left for OKC. In a battle between two of the top three teams in the Western Conference standings, the Nuggets lost their second home game this season.
The Nuggets led 111-103 with 3:33 left but a 9-2 run, capped by an alley-oop dunk by Chet Holmgren, made it a one-point game with 1:38 remaining. Michael Porter hit a 20-footer, Gilgeous-Alexander made two free throws and Jamal Murray’s step-back jumper gave Denver a 117-114 lead with 43 seconds left.
OKC’s Jalen Williams made a driving layup, Nikola Jokic missed a 3-pointer, Gilgeous-Alexander grabbed the rebound with 8 seconds left and then capped the rally with his turnaround jumper over Peyton Watson. The Nuggets’ entry pass was tipped to seal the win.
Jokic finished with 24 points, 12 assists and six rebounds, his 12th game with double-digit assists this season. Jokie has scored 20+ points in 23 of the 26 games he’s played in and has the most 20+ point games in the league. Michael Porter Jr. recorded a double-double on Saturday with 20 points and 10 boards. It was his seventh double-double of the season after having just three all of last season. He has made a concerted effort on the glass this season, which has allowed him to average a career-best eight rebounds per game. The only Nuggets player with more double-doubles this season is Jokic (23).
Aaron Gordon provided 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Gordon was upgraded from questionable to available only a few minutes before tip-off but ended just one rebound shy of recording his sixth double-double of the campaign. Gordon holds a secondary role on offense when both Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are available, but over his past 10 games is averaging 11.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists.
Starting Kentavious Caldwell-Pope missed a second straight game in the concussion protocol and Justin Holiday started for him, finishing with six points, one rebound, and two assists in 25 minutes. Caldwell-Pope was the primary defender on Gilgeous-Alexander the first time the Thunder and Nuggets met this season. Gilgeous-Alexander finished 2 for 16 with a season-low seven points on Oct. 29. Three of those points came on four free-throw attempts so KCP was clearly missed Saturday.
“It really does take five guys out there, and when you have a guy like KCP, it definitely helps because he locks in on the matchup and just takes so much pride in it. Without KCP, we’re going to have to have other guys step up and try to do the same thing we did in OKC, which would be a hell of a challenge,” Coach Mike Malone said.

UFC Fight Night: Betting Odds for the Yan vs Figueiredo Bout
UFC Firefight: Yan vs. Figueiredo – A Battle for the Ages
UFC Fight Night: Yan vs Figueiredo: UFC Fight Night 248 | UFC on ESPN+ 106
Saturday, November 23rd, 2024 at 8:00 pm ET | Galaxy Arena, Macau, SAR, China
Betting on the Next UFC Fight Night
Two of the best in their division, Petr Yan and Deiveson Figueiredo, headline this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night.

The card is loaded with fantastic matchups.
So getting up early might be the plan for many of us.
Keep reading for UFC odds, analysis, and free picks for the main card at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night.
Writer’s Picks for UFC Fight Night: Yan vs Figueiredo: Main Card Bouts
Zhang Mingyang -320 vs Ozzy Diaz +250
Underdog Ozzy Diaz has a single UFC bout on his record and it was in a Dana White Contender Series battle.
Diaz lost to Joe Pyfer.
Since then, Diaz has fought at LFA.
Zhang Mingyang gives up 2 inches in height but Mingyang is 11-3 via TKO/KO and 6-2 via submissions.
The favorite gets it done.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Zhang Mingyang
Volkan Oezdemir +200 vs Carlos Ulberg -245
It’s not often that Oezdemir is an underdog.
But on Saturday he faces an opponent that is 2 inches taller and has a 2 inches reach advantage.
Also, Ulberg is 11-1.
If Ulberg doesn’t get the knockout, he’s got the ground game to force you into submitting.
Oezdemir should fall before the final bell.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Carlos Ulberg
Wang Cong -250 vs Gabriella Fernandes +550
Fernandes shows 3 wins and 2 losses in her last 5.
The good news for the underdog in this is that she won her lone bout in 2024 via split decision over Carli Judice.
Wang Cong is 6-0.
Cong has won twice via knockout and twice via submission.
She has the ability to win via decision if required.
Cong’s flexibility in getting the W gives the chalk the edge.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Wang Cong
Song Kenan +155 vs Muslim Salikhov -185
Kenan had lost 3-of-4 before beating Ricky Glenn via unanimous decision in the last.
Kenan has some ability and may have turned things around with the win.
Muslim Salikhov is 20-5 overall and also won his last.
Salikhov has the edge in this but Kenan is 2 inches taller.
Give the underdog a shot because Salikhov hasn’t put together back to back wins in a while.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Muslim Salikhov
Yan Xiaonan -195 vs Tabatha Ricci +165
Underdog Tabatha Ricci gives up 4 inches in height and 2 inches in reach.
Ricci has won 4-of-5 with a loss, though.
She’s also fought top talent.
So the wins are legit.
Yan Xiaonan lost her last bout but it was a championship fight versus Zhang Weili.
Before the loss, Xiaonan had rolled to 2 straight wins.
1 of the wins was a knockout victory over Jessica Andrade.
Back the chalk to cash.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Yan Xiaonan
Petr Yan -320 vs Deiveson Figueiredo +250
It’s not often that Deiveson Figueiredo steps into the Octagon an underdog.
It really doesn’t often happen that Figueiredo is a +250 dog.

Which mixed martial artists get it done on November 9?
Check out UFC odds, analysis, and free picks for this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night.
Writer’s Picks for UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates: Main Card Bouts
Mansur Abdul-Malik -370 vs Dusko Todorovic +275
Todorovic has a terrific 12-4 record.
Dusko has won 2-of-5.
Not only that but Todorovic has more UFC experience than Mansur Abdul-Malik.
But Abdul-Malik, who is 6-0, has been brilliant in his bouts.
The difference in odds between these two would be much tighter if UFC handicappers believed Todorovic had a shot.
The favorite wins.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Mansur Abdul-Malik
Luana Pinheiro +300 vs Gilian Robertson -400
Underdog Luana Pinheiro has a fantastic 11-3 record.
But Pinheiro hasn’t won since 2023.
In her last 2 bouts, Pinheiro has lost via knockout and submission.
Gilian Robertson has gone 4-1 straight up in her last 5.
Robertson has a 3 inches height advantage.
She will use it in this bout.
Here’s another where beating the chalk looks tough.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Gillian Robertson
Ricky Turcios vs Bernardo Sopaj
Odds have yet to land on Turcios versus Sopaj.
When they do, Turcios could be the slight chalk because he’s won 3-of-5 and has a 3 inch height advantage.
Sopaj is on a 2-match losing streak.
Also, Sopaj lost his lone UFC bout.
Turcios should handle the projected underdog no problem.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Bernardo Sopaj
Gerald Meerschaert +240 vs Reiner de Ridder -300
The odds suggest a decent, close bout.
Gerald Meerschaert goes into this fighting well.
The +240 dog has won 2 bouts via submission in 2024.
Reiner de Ridder had lost 2 straight championship bouts at ONE.
He joined UFC in July and beat Magomedmurad Khasaev.
Ridder looked good in that bout.
The chalk prevails.
UFC Fight Night Pick:
Cody Garbrandt +130 vs Miles Johns -155
Garbrandt has won 2-of-3.
The loss came versus Deiveson Figueiredo, one of the best in the division.
Miles Johns has won 3-of-4 with a draw.
This should be the closest bout on the main card.
Garbrandt has the ability to win this.
Also, the odds make the dog playable.
Give Cody a shot.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Cody Garbrandt
Neil Magny +525 vs Carlos Prates -900
Neil Magny shows 2 wins and 3 losses in his last 5 bouts.
That may explain why Prates is such a big time chalk.
The favorite has won 9 straight via knockout.
Magny is a good mixed martial artist.
But all signs point to a Prates KO victory.
If you can find a knockout prop on Carlos that you like, pull the trigger.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Carlos Prates

Writer’s Picks for UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs Albazi: Main Card Bouts
Mike Malot -265 vs Trevin Giles +215
Underdog Trevin Giles isn’t in great form.
Giles has won 2-of-5.
Giles is on a 2-match losing streak after falling to Gabriel Bonfim via submission and Carlos Prates via knockout.
Mike Malot lost to Neil Magny in his last.
Before losing to Magny, Malot had won 6 straight.
The favorite grabs the win before the final bell.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Mike Malot
Marc-Andre Barriault -190 vs Dustin Stoltzfus +160
Muy Thai specialist Dustin Stoltzfus could struggle versus chalk Marc-Andre Barriault.
Stoltzfus last fought in June and lost to Bruno Ferreira via first round knockout.
Barriault is on a 2-match losing streak.
1 of the losses came via split decision.
The other happened via knockout.
Both losses came against better competition than Stoltzfus has faced.
Barriault gets back on the winning track.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Mac-Andre Barriault
Caio Machado -160 vs Brendson Ribeiro +135
+135 dog Brendson Ribeiro is 0-2 in both of his 2024 bouts.
Zang Mingyang knocked out Ribiero in a fight in February.
Then in June, Ribeiro lost via majority decision to Magomed Gadzhiyasulov.
Caio Machado has lost his first 2 non Dana White Contender Series UFC bouts.
Before the defeats, Machado has been winning.
Ribeiro has real shot of handing Machado a third straight UFC defeat.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Brendson Ribeiro
Derrick Lewis +150 vs Jhonata Diniz -180
Derrick Lewis versus Jhonata Diniz should be a good fight.
Lewis has won 2-of-3.
The underdog in this shows a defeat agianst Jailton Almeida via decision two bouts ago.
Favored Diniz is 8-0 with 7 knockout wins.
Diniz lists as a kickboxer.
The fact he’s Brazilian means he should have some Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills.
Give the favorite the nod to get it done.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Jhonata Diniz
Erin Blanchfield -135 vs Rose Namajunas +115
Many MMA fans expect Blanchfield versus Namajunas to be the main card’s most electrifying bout.
Namajunas has won 2 straight via unanimous decision after losing 2 straight.
Blanchfield fell to Manon Fiorot in her last.
Before losing to Fiorot, Blanchfield had won 9 straight.
Fiorot has won 12 straight since losing her first bout way back in 2018.
Blanchfield should return to her previous winning form.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Erin Blanchfield
Brandon Moreno -160 vs Amir Albazi +135
In the main event, Brandon Moreno hopes to use a win over Amir Albazi to leap into a title fight.
Albazi is hoping for the same thing.
The favorite has lost his last 2 via split-decision.
1 of the bouts was versus Alexandre Pantoja for the flyweight strap.
The other came against Brandon Royval.
Albazi is 17-1. But the dog in this hasn’t fought since 2023.
Still, the odds make Albazi worth taking a shot because Moreno may not be as fearsome as he once was.
Throwing money behind the underdog makes sense.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Amir Albazi

Which mixed martial artists raise their arms in victory on the UFC Fight Night card?
Check out UFC odds, analysis, and free picks for main card bouts at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night.
Writer’s Picks for UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs Pereira: Main Card Bouts
Darren Elkins -115 vs Daniel Pineda -105
Physical advantages are the main reason Darren Elkins has become the fave agaisnt Daniel Pineda.
Elkins is 3 inches taller and has a 2 inches reach advantage.
Another reason? Pineda has lost 2 straight.
Even though Elkins has won 3-of-5, he hasn’t put together back to back victories in a while.
Give Pineda a shot to get back on the winning track.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Daniel Pineda
Jake Hadley -135 vs Cameron Smotherman +115
The odds suggest another tough bout.
Smotherman is the underdog but the action appears to be going to both fighters.
Based on form, Smotherman is the winner.
He’s won 3 straight.
However, all 3 wins came at Fury.
The UFC is a step up in terms of competition.
Hadley broke a 2-match losing streak in his last.
Hadley is 3-0 via TKO/KO and 5-0 via submissions.
He’ll take down Smotherman and force a tap out.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Jake Hadley
Charles Johnson -235 vs Sumudaerji +190
Sumudaerji is the underdog in this because he doesn’t have much of a ground game.
The +190 dog is 13-0 via TKO/KO but 1-6 via submissions.
In his last 2 bouts, Sumudaerji has lost via submission.
Charles Johnson is on a 3-match winning streak.
All 3 wins came this year.
Johnson is on fire.
He should add a fourth victory to his impressive 2024.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Charles Johnson
Rob Font +325 vs Kyler Phillips -450
In the bout right before the main event, most expect Kyler Phillips to dominate Rob Font.
The underdog in this has lost 4-of-5 and 2 straight.
To be fair, the losses were versus strong competition.
Phillips has won 3 straight.
Font is now 37 and has a lot of mileage on the wheels.
Phillips is 8 years youngers.
The difference in age will show.
Back the favorite to cash.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Kyler Phillips
Anthony Hernandez -140 vs Michel Pereira +120
The UFC Fight Night main event pits a couple of in form fighters.
Underdog Michel Pereira hasn’t lost since a disqualification to Diego Sanchez in 2020.
Pereira has won 8 straight bouts.
Anthony Hernandez hasn’t lost since suffering a knockout defeat to Kevin Holland in 2020.
Hernandez has won 6 straight.
Both are terrific strikers and have good ground games.
Pereira rates the edge because he offers a better payout and it’s impossible to separate these two.
Taking a swing on the dog makes sense.
UFC Fight Night Pick: Michel Pereira

UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy Prelims
Piera Rodriguez vs Ariane Carnelossi
The underdog in this is an inch shorter and gives up 2 inches in reach. Not only that, but Ariane Carnelossi comes off a loss to Loopy Godinez that happened in 2022.
The layoff won’t do Carnelossi any favors. Rodriguez is a poised for a big win.
Betting Piera Rodriguez vs Ariane Carnelossi Matchup
Alves is 3 inches shorter and has lost 3 straight and 4-of-5. 2 of Alves’ 4 losses came via knockout. The other happened via submission.
Magomedov heads into this on a 2-fight losing streak. But Magomedov has faced much stiffer competition that Alves. The chalk gets back on the winning track.
Betting Abus Magomedov vs Warlley Alves Matchup
Middleweight Pick to Win:
Abus Magomedov Boxing Odds:
Abus Magomedov -275 vs Warlley Alves +225 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Tamires Vidal vs Melissa Gatto
Both of these fighters boast terrific records. Vidal is 7-2. Gatto is 8-2-2.
The difference, and the reason for the gap in odds, is that Gatto has fought the tougher competition. Still, at +280, Vidal is for sure worth a look. Take a swing on the underdog.
When odds drop, Sy should be the chalk. Oumar has won all 9 of his bouts. He’s won 4 via TKO/KO and 3 via submission.
Tokkos has won 3 straight. But the victory over Myron Dennis in his last came because Dennis suffered an injury. It’s tough to go against the favorite.
Betting Oumar Sy vs Tuco Tokkos Matchup
Light Heavyweight Pick to Win:
Oumar Sy Boxing Odds:
N/A | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Victor Martinez vs Tom Nolan
From 2019 to 2021, Victor Martinez had won 4 straight. Then in his lone fight last year, Martinez lost to Jordan Leavitt.
Tom Nolan is 6-1. However, Nolan’s loss came in his first UFC fight. Still, Nolan is a knockout artist, going 4-1 via TKO/KO. Give Nolan to the nod to end this before the final bell.
Betting Victor Martinez vs Tom Nolan Matchup
Lightweight Pick to Win:
Tom Nolan Boxing Odds:
Victor Martinez +350 / Tom Nolan -500 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy Main Card
Luana Pinheiro vs Angela Hill
Pinheiro has a nice 11-2 record. The judo skilled fighter is 5-0 via submission victories. But Pinheiro is only 2-1 via TKO/KO.
Angela Hill is 16-13 overall. Hill has won 3 of her last 4. Hill is fighting at an elevated level. If the fight goes to the ground, though, Pinheiro wins.
Salvador lost both of his fights in 2023. The good news about the losses if you’re looking to back the +300 underdog is that Salvador lost via decision in both bouts.
Yanez also lost both of his 2023 bouts. For sure, Yanez fought the better competition. Ah, but the odds make the -400 chalk an underlay. Backing the dog to bite makes sense.
Betting Adrian Yanez vs Vinicius Salvador Matchup
Bantamweight Pick to Win:
Vinicius Junior Boxing Odds:
Adrian Yanez -400 / Vinicius Salvador +300 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Themba Gorimbo vs Ramiz Brahimaj
The +120 underdog has won 3-of-5. But Brahimaj hasn’t fought since 2022. The layoff could have an effect on Brahimaj’s performance.
Themba Gorimbo not only has a 3 inches height advantage, but he’s won 3-of-4. Gorimbo shows a victory in 2024. The odds make the chalk playable.
Betting Themba Gorimbo vs Ramiz Brahimaj Matchup
Welterweight Pick to Win:
Themba Gorimbo Boxing Odds:
Themba Gorimbo -140 / Ramiz Brahimaj +120 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Khaos Williams vs Carlston Harris
Williams versus Harris should be a dynamite bout. Harris has won 4-of-5. The lone loss in the last 5 came versus now 18-0 Shavkat Rakhmanov in 2022.
Williams has also won 4-of-5. Williams has a more nimble skill set while Harris is a straight up boxer. Khaos gets it done.
Betting Khaos Williams vs Carlston Harris Matchup
Welterweight Pick to Win:
Khaos Williams Boxing Odds:
Khaos Williams -130 / Carlston Harris +110 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Edson Barboza vs Lerone Murphy
The odds in the main event suggests a competitive bout. Both Edson Barboza and Lerone Murphy are capable of winning on Saturday night. Barboza has won 2 straight. Edson always puts in a fantastic fight.
But Murphy has never suffered a defeat. Give the -140 chalk the nod even though Barboza won’t make it easy on Lerone.

Billy Goff vs Trey Waters
Billy Goff and Trey Waters both boast terrific records. Goff is 9-2 while Waters is 8-1. Both are fighting well.
Waters, though, has a significant physical advantage as he’s 6’ 5’ versus the 5’ 10 Goff. But Goff has the more nuanced mixed martial artist skills. Give the dog a chance to bite.
Betting Tabbatha Ricci vs Tecia Pennington Matchup
Pick to Win:
Billy Goff Boxing Odds:
Tabbatha Ricci -140 / Tecia Pennington +120 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Tabbatha Ricci vs Tecia Pennington
Ricci and Pennington are similar in both height and reach. Both are 5’ 1”. Ricci has a half an inch reach advantage. Other than that, once doesn’t have a physical advantage over the other.
Both also enter this off split decision losses. The main difference between the two is that Pennington is a striker and Ricci has judo skills. The judo skills take the favorite over the top.
Betting Tabbatha Ricci vs Tecia Pennington Matchup
After two straight losses, Terrance McKinney has bounced back with victories versus Mike Breeden and Brendan Marotte. McKinney knocked out both opponents in the first round.
Esteban Ribovics has lost 1-of-5. Ribovics’ last two bouts ended via decision. McKinney’s aggressiveness makes him the play.
Betting Waldo Cortez-Acosta vs Robelis Despaigne Matchup
Hooper is 2 inches taller and has a much longer 5 inches reach. The +110 underdog has won 3-of-4 with the lone loss coming versus Steve Garcia on October 29, 2022.
Borshchev had a decent 2023 with a win and a draw. Hooper’s ground game could be the difference.
Betting Waldo Cortez-Acosta vs Robelis Despaigne Matchup
Cortes-Acosta has a terrific 11-1 record. Also, the underdog in this has won 4-of-5. The reason he’s such a big time dog is because Robelis Despaigne is 5-0 with 5 stoppage wins. Despaigne adds another knockout victory to the record.
Betting Waldo Cortez-Acosta vs Robelis Despaigne Matchup
21-14 Alex Caceres shows 3 wins and 2 losses in his last 5. Caceres fell to Giga Chikadze in his last bout via 3-round unanimous decision.
Sean Woodson has won 4 with a draw in his last 5. Woodson is in sharper form. Give the -210 chalk the nod.
Betting Alex Caceres vs Sean Woodson Matchup
Pick to Win:
Sean Woodson Boxing Odds:
Alex Caceres +175 / Sean Woodson -210 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Diego Ferreira +315 vs Mateusz Rebecki -425
Ferreira has a good record. The +315 dog is 13-5. The issue is that unless Ferreira can get his opponent to the mat, he struggles in the stand up with a 4-3 KO/TKO record.
Rebecki is 19-1 and does everything well. Mateusz hasn’t lost since 2014. Rebecki wins via submission or knockout.
Betting Alonzo Menifield vs Carlos Ulberg Matchup
Pick to Win:
Mateusz Rebecki Boxing Odds:
Alonzo Menifield +220 / Carlos Ulberg -270 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Alonzo Menifield vs Carlos Ulberg
The -270 chalk is 3 inches taller. Not only that, but Ulberg is 10-1 overall, 6-1 via TKO/KO and 2-0 via submissions.
What Ulberg’s records tell us is that he is excellent at adjusting on the fly. Also, he doesn’t take unnecessary chances and will win a bout via decision if required. Back the favorite to cash.
Betting Alonzo Menifield vs Carlos Ulberg Matchup
Pick to Win:
Carlos Ulberg Boxing Odds:
Alonzo Menifield +220 / Carlos Ulberg -270 | UFC Fight Odds Tonight
Joaquin Buckley vs Nursulton Ruziboev
Although Buckley gives up 7 inches in height o Ruziboev, Joaquin has maintained his favorite status. Buckley is 18-6 overall and 13-4 via TKO/KO. He’s also won three straight over excellent fighters: Andre Fialho, Alex Morono, and Vicente Luque.
This will be Ruziboev’s third UFC bout. Still, the underdog is on a 10-match winning streak. Take a swing on the dog.
Betting Joaquin Buckley vs Nursulton Ruziboev Matchup
Nascimento has the eye catching record at 11-1. But Nascimento hasn’t fought anyone close to Derrick Lewis’s talent in a while.
Lewis, though, has lost 4-of-5. So if you back Derrick, you believe he’s taking a step down in class. Even if Nascimento is a step down in class from the fighters Lewis is used to battling, beating the dog will be tough. Backing Nascimento makes sense.

UFC Fight Night 87 Overeem vs. Arlovski Betting Preview
Previous Betting News
After a short hiatus from UFC action, MMA betting returns with UFC Fight Night 87, headlined by pivotal mouthwatering showdown with title implications between former UFC title holder Andrei Arlovski and former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem. This heavyweight clash is set to take place this weekend in Netherlands and we have our UFC Fight Night odds picks specially prepared for you in the Fight Card preview below.
UFC Fight Night 87 Overeem vs. Arlovsky Betting Analysis and Predictions
When: Sunday, May 8, 11:00 p.m. EST Where: Ahoy Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands TV: Fox Sports 1 UFC Fight Night Predictions: Overeem (-200), Arlovski (+170)
Why Bet on Overeem 40-14 (17 KOs, 19 Submissions)
The 35-year old Overeem comes into this game on the back of a solid run, winning his last three straight fights, including an important 2nd-round TKO victory over former champ Junior dos Santos. This former K-1 Grand Prix champion boasts of one the best ground games in the UFC, as can be attested to by his 19 submissions and with the advantage of fighting in Netherlands, you can expect the Dutchman to feed off the home support for a solid performance in the quest to validate his championship challenger status.
Why Bet on Arlovski 25-11 (17 KOs, 3 Submissions)
Despite being two years older than his competitor, the 37-year-old Arlovski has been involved in fewer fights. That, however, isn’t to say that he is not a quality fighter. As a former UFC champion, Arlovski knows what it takes to win in the octagon. Plus, since making his return to UFC, he’s rattled off 6 straight wins, before suffering the loss to Stipe Miocic in January. The 54-second TKO loss to top contender Miocic was definitely a setback, but this is a man who has lost just twice in his last 13 fights since 2011, including marquee wins over quality fighters like Brendan Schaub, Travis Browne and Frank Mir but; so bouncing back should be within strong realms of possibility for Arlovski.
My Expert MMA Predictions and Picks
Both fighters bring a lot of pedigree to this fight and the fact that both have a lot at stake here will make this clash interesting. That said, Arlovski’s age seems to have taken a sting off his speed and potency, which is likely to lead to more of a ground battle, playing right into Overeem’s comfort zone. Add that to Overeem’s better form and home advantage, the home fighter should be the best pick for the win here.
NCAA Basketball Betting Analysis: Early Impressions of the 2024/25 Season at Week 3
Coming into the new season, most of us probably had an opinion on who we thought would end the 2024/25 season as the college basketball National Champion.
We are just a few games into the new season, and while the top 25 is taking shape, you can almost bet that we are going to see changes happening with each passing week.
NCAA Basketball Betting Analysis
The nature of this sport is that one loss can send a team tumbling, while a signature win can move another team up the rankings.
While it is still very early in the season, we thought it might be a good time to take a look at the current top 10 in the national rankings and compare what each team is doing with their odds to win it all this season.
With that in mind, let’s dive right in and get out early impressions of the college basketball season.
When we get into the stats here, keep in mind that most of the teams we are going to discuss have not really played many big games to this point. Kansas was among the favorites in the early going and are living up to the preseason hype, going 5-0 to start the season. They already have a big win over UNC this season and have Duke up next. If they can win that one, they will impress a lot of bettors.
The Huskies came into the new season as the favorites to end the season as the National Champion, and they are off to a solid enough start, going 4-0 to start the year. They should win their next 3 games without any real effort, but we will get to see their first major challenge in a couple of weeks when they play Baylor. They have been solid on the defensive side of the court, but that is to be expected against lesser opposition.
The Bulldogs served notice that they mean business this season with an opening game demolition of the Baylor Bears, with the Bulldogs running out 101-63 winners in that one. They have continued that dominance over their last 3 games, too, blowing out opponents to get to 4-0. They have another winnable game up next, after which they will face Kentucky and UConn, which will give us a better idea of what this team is all about.
They are only 4 games into their schedule, but the Auburn Tigers already have a signature win to their name, beating Houston 74-69. Things are going to get tougher still over their next 2 games, with Iowa State and Duke next up on the schedule. Much like Gonzaga, we will have a much better idea of what to expect from the Auburn Tigers after the next 2 games. If they can win both of those, we might just see these odds shorten quite quickly.
Compared to the other teams on the list, we have not seen that much of the Cyclones just yet. What we have seen, though, is a team that is efficient at both ends of the court on their way to a 3-0 record. Things are going to heat up for them rather quickly, though, as they have back-to-back games against ranked opponents coming up next, with Auburn and Marquette the next 2 teams on their schedule. It will be interesting to revisit the Cyclones once they get through those 2 games.
Once the new rankings are released next week, we are probably going to see the Boilermakers drop a little after a loss to Marquette, who were ranked #15 at the time. The defeat stings a little more when you consider that it came on the heels of Purdue handing Alabama, who were ranked #2, their first loss of the season. It is going to be interesting to see how the Boilermakers recover from that loss. They have 4 games against unranked teams coming up next, so definitely a chance to bounce back.
The Houston Cougars had a chance to make a real statement in the early part of the season, but they ended up losing to Auburn in just their second game of the year, albeit in a close game. They have won their other 2 games quite comfortably and should deliver more of the same against Hofstra in their next outing. After that, they have another tough game against a ranked opponent, with Alabama coming up. We could see Houston falling down the rankings with a loss there.
Of all the teams on this list, no team has a tougher run than Alabama, as they are in the midst of a run that sees them play 6 straight games against ranked opposition. The chances of them coming out of that unscathed always seemed unlikely, so their loss to Purdue was not totally shocking. They bounced back with a win over Illinois, but they still have 4 more to come against ranked opponents before this tough stretch ends.
This is a team that is quietly going about their business in the early going, winning all 4 games to this point, including a big win over the Duke Blue Devils. I think it’s fair to say that we can expect them to keep their winless streak alive over the next 4 games, as they don’t face another ranked opponent until they go against Gonzaga in December.
It’s tough to get a handle on the Tar Heels just yet, as they have only played 3 games to this point in the season. They lost to #1 ranked Kansas in their 2nd game of the season, but it was a close one, with the Jayhawks winning 92-89. The next tough game for the Tar Heels will come against Alabama in the early part of December.

2024 Early Impressions
October 16
The new NCAAB season is a couple of weeks away from starting, yet still close enough that most of us are already thinking about how we are going to wager on the upcoming games.
There are also probably a lot of you who are planning on making a bet on your pick to win the National Championship this season, and while that is certainly normal, it’s a bit tougher when it comes to college sports.
My NCAA Basketball Analysis
Unlike professional sports, college teams often have to rebuild every single year. This is especially true for the top teams, many of whom may have lost several players to the draft.
The good news is that the best teams in the sport are usually able to recruit the most talented players, but does that mean that the new players are going to make an immediate impact.
With the new season so close, we thought it would be a good idea to look at the current favorites to win the National Championship, while talking about their record and playoff performance over the last few years, so let’s get to it.
Uconn Huskies +830
This has the potential to be a truly historic season for the Huskies, as they are coming in looking for their 3rd straight National Championship. It took head coach Dan Hurley a moment to get going, getting bounced from the tournament early in back-to-back seasons before turning things around in the 2022-23 season, which was when he led his team to the first of 2 titles.
Over the past 2 seasons, this team has racked up 68 wins versus just 11 losses, so it’s easy to understand why they are in as the clear favorite right from the start. Whether you are a Huskies fan or not, it’s going to be fun to watch this team go for a three-peat.
Duke Blue Devils +1025
Taking over from an absolute legend of the game can be a truly thankless task, which is what Jon Scheyer had to do when he took over from Coach K a couple of years back. There was always going to be a period of adjustment as he recruited the players he needed to play his system. This will be Year 3 for Scheyer, and the expectation is that he should now have a team ready to compete for a National Championship.
In his first season, Duke went out in the 2nd round, which they followed up with a run to the Elite 8 last year. This is a team taking forward steps, so could they go even further this time around?
Kansas Jayhawks +1025
Bill Self has been the coach of the Jayhawks since 2003, and while he has certainly done a fantastic job, it feels as though he is coming into the new season under a wee bit of pressure. The Jayhawks won the National Championship in 2022, after which Self was hit with a 4-game suspension for recruiting violations.
It’s tough to say whether that had an impact on the program as a whole, but Kansas has taken a big backward step since winning that title. They went out of the tournament in the 2nd round in each of the last 2 seasons and really need a big season this time around to get back in the championship conversation.
Alabama Crimson Tide +1200
When you think of college sports in Alabama, you tend to think of football, but the basketball program is beginning to make some noise and might well be on the brink of a National Championship. After getting bounced in the opening round a couple of years back, they made a trip to the Sweet Sixteen, which they followed up with a run that took them all the way to the Final Four last season.
The question now is whether they can maintain this progress and make it all the way to the Championship Game. The bookies certainly seem to feel as though this team needs to be part of the conversation, and al signs do seem to point toward Alabama having another big season. Whether that means they end the season as champions remains to be seen.
Houston Cougars +1625
We are at the point where we are beginning to drift into dark horse territory, although the Houston Cougars have shown an ability to make a decent postseason run over the past few seasons. Last year was something a little different for the Cougars, as they made the move to the Big 12, which they won, marking their 3rd straight top finish in their conference.
They followed that up with a run to the Sweet Sixteen, which meant they had gone at least that far in each of the last 5 seasons. Their best run was to the Final Four in 2021, but they are always a good bet to at least win a couple of games in the postseason. The question now is whether they can take that next step and go all the way.
North Carolina Tar Heels +1650
This is a team that is easily one of the most iconic programs in college basketball, staying relevant for what seems like eternity. They have won 3 National Championships in the last 20 years, but since their last win in 2017, things have not gone as well as expected, albeit with a bar set higher than most.
A loss in the opening round of the 2020-21 season saw Roy Williams bring his brilliant time as head coach of UNC to an end. In his first season as head coach, Hubert Davis led his team to the Championship Game, where they lost to Kansas. That was followed by a disappointing season where the Tar Heels missed out on the tournament. They rebounded last year with a run to the Sweet Sixteen, but this is a fan base that expects a whole lot more.
Early Impressions 2022-2023 College Basketball Season
It may be in its infancy, but the 2022-23 college basketball season has given us plenty to discuss after just two nights. There have been some shocking results over the first couple of evenings, some nice moments, and some things that may make you scratch your head a bit.
We all participated in polls too early after the National Championship game; here are some predictions and projections too early after the start of the season for your NCAAB betting.
Season 2022-2023 College Basketball
The ACC Is NOT Back
If there was a conference in the nation that needed to get off to a good start, it was the ACC. Long considered the premier basketball conference in the nation; the ACC has underperformed as a league in recent seasons while the blue bloods continue to experience success in March.
Miami (FL) was victorious in their opener but was trailing Lafayette at the half. George Tech, arguably the worst team in the league, was tied with Division two Clayton State at the half before eventually winning by 30. Florida State lost to Stetson at the Tucker Center. North Carolina, Virginia, and Wake Forest all failed to cover the spread as home favorites.
The Tar Heels will likely turn it around, as they are arguably the best team in the nation. Virginia is suspect from behind the arc, Florida State appears to be lacking “it” ever since James Forrest and Devin Vassell left, and Miami is a habitual underachiever despite last season’s tourney success.
It may be another tumultuous season for the once-proud conference.
Porter Moser is not the answer
This might be a suspect take, but it is only mentioned falling suspect results.
You don’t lose to Sam Houston State if you are Oklahoma. This isn’t really a shot at the Bearkats, as Jason Hooten has done a terrific job with this program over his many years at the helm.
This is more of a critique of Moser, who caught lightning in a bottle at Loyola-Chicago (twice) but may be in over his head in the Big XII.
He has brought in a couple of nice recruits, but it’s starting to feel like he may be more of a stud mid-major coach than someone that can lead a power six program to the next level.
This Transfer Stuff is Out of Control
Are you able to even keep track of who is playing where any longer? It’s incredibly difficult. There is a reason that many pundits around the nation are referring to the transfer portal as a free agency. Especially since the name, image and likeness are legal now.
At some point, the NCAA is going to have to give the reins a yank and reel this in a bit. Is there an obvious answer to prevent players from playing for three or four programs over their career? No.
Should players be allowed to pursue other options if the coach they committed to blows town? Yes.
Should a player such as Jalen Coleman-Lands be allowed to play for four programs and seven seasons? No.
At some point, the NCAA needs to put its foot in the dirt and say no and take the hit from the press. They have certainly perfected making unpopular decisions in the past; it should be easy for them. If they don’t start taking hard stances on certain matters, college basketball will not have any integrity left.
I have read enough, I need to place my bet now. What to do?

NCAA Basketball 2022 Championship Early Betting Odds & Predictions
Previous Betting News
Starting later this month, the best teams in college basketball take to hoop courts all throughout the country with dreams of winning the NCAA Tournament 2021 runner up Gonzaga enters the season a +600 favorite. Michigan, UCLA, and Duke are second, third, and the fourth choices to take the tile. Check out current NCAAB National Championship odds and an analysis of those odds.
Updated CBB National Championship Odds to Win
2022 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament
When: March 15 – April 4
Is Gonzaga an underlay or overlay at +600?
The Zags lost Jalen Suggs, Joel Ayayi and Corey Kispert, but Mark Few reloaded big time. The top recruit in the country, 7’ 0” Chet Holmgren, is headed to Gonzaga.
Holmgren is a crazy tall player with an awesome outside shot and great handle. He’s a better shooting, much taller, Ben Simmons.
But although Holmgren is the most unique player maybe ever to step onto a college campus, the kid weighs 195 lbs. He’s too light to bang with the top power forwards and centers in college hoops, which means his impact will be limited.
The Zags must count on returning player Drew Timme and Andrew Nembhard. Gonzaga’s best chance to win the title was last season. This season, they should offer no lower odds than +1000 to cut down the nets.
Which team among Michigan, UCLA and Villanova, who deserves the longer look?
College hoops handicappers love both the Bruins and Wildcats. Of the two, Villanova deserves the longer look.
Coach Jay Wright has won two National Championships. This year’s team can add a third.
Collin Gillespie, one of the best guards in the nation, returns. So does Jermaine Samuels. Wright believes his team can go 9 to 10 deep, which means nobody is going to beat Villanova by tiring them out. Nova looks strong.
Although favoring Villanova slightly more than UCLA makes sense, the Bruins are also a loaded bunch. Westwood lost a couple of players last season. Neither loss should impact UCLA’s chances to win the title.
Coach Mike Cronin will lean on Kentucky transfer Johnny Juzang, who in his first year with UCLA became an NCAA Tournament star. Cody Riley is a great player and Myles Johnson, a transfer from Rutgers, could end up the best big man in the Pac-12.
Michigan can win the championship. But the odds are +1000 compared to UCLA and Villanova at +1200. Don’t accept short odds on the Wolverines.
Name one or two teams offering +1400 to +1800 odds that can win the NCAA Tournament?
Kentucky loses players every season. After last season, John Calipari lost a ton of talent. But Coach Cal did something he doesn’t often do.
Instead of recruiting replacements, Calipari headed to the transfer portal. Sahvir Wheeler led the SEC in assists per game last season. Coach Cal convinced Wheeler to transfer from Georgia to Big Blue.
Oscar Tshiebwe comes over from West Virginia. Because Tshiebwe played for Bob Huggins, he should have no issue stepping in right away and helping Kentucky’s frontcourt dominate.
When nobody pays attention to Calipari and the Wildcats, that’s when they strike. At +1600, Kentucky is a great team to back.
Among Baylor, Florida State, and Illinois, which team deserves the longest look to cut down the nets on April 4?
Florida State lost way too many players. Illinois lost Ayo Dosunmu. Baylor lost four important players, including Jared Butler.
Baylor has reloaded and it’s not like Scott Drew didn’t play his bench last season. At the odds, Baylor is worth a long look to win back-to-back National Championships.
2020 NCAA Basketball Championship Early Expert Analysis
Previous Betting News
With the start of the 2020-21 NCAA college basketball season approximately one month away, now is a perfect time to cheek out the latest odds to win the 2021 NCAA March Madness National Championship Tournament. Let’s get some early college hoops insight that could help you cash in all season long against their College Basketball odds.
Early Updated 2020 College Basketball Predictions
Odds To Win 2020 NCAA Basketball Championship
Villanova +800
Jay Wright lost blossoming star Saddiq Bey, but he has all four of his other starters back from last season, plus a talented former five-star recruit in Bryan Antoine that rarely saw action as a freshman last season. The Cats added some experience in the form of former Tulane standout Caleb Daniels and Collin Gillespie should challenge for Big East Player of the Year.
Kentucky +1100
The Wildcats enter the 2020-21 campaign with the nation’s top recruiting class. To make matters worse, John Calipari could get even more talent and experience with the waiver process till pending. Kentucky is loaded as always, but will they jell by March?
Gonzaga +1100
The Zags have been a perennial title contender for years now, having reached the Sweet Sixteen or better in five straight postseasons. Gonzaga has the vast majority of their core players back from last season and added highly recruited freshman Jalen Suggs. Once a mid-major, Gonzaga has a handful of non-conference games against elite opponents this coming season.
Baylor +1200
Baylor is loaded with talent and have what looks like the best backcourt in the nation Jared Butler and MaCio Teague. Davion Mitchell and Mark Vital are elite perimeter defenders and the Bears look like they could very well improve on their stellar 26-4 mark from a year ago.
Virginia +1300
The Cavaliers enter the season as the ACC favorite and for good reason. Virginia is undeniably one of the best defensive teams in the country and they simply beat a lot of opponents by shutting them down. Jay Huff and Sam Hauser could take this team to the Final Four.
Michigan +1400
Senior forward Isaiah Livers should be playing at the next level after this coming season and sophomore Franz Wagner is looking for bigger and better things. Michigan might not be ready to contend for a national championship, but things are looking up for Michigan under Juwaan Howard.
Duke +1600
The Blue Devils have a top five recruiting class that consists of a whopping six players. Those young freshmen, combined with experienced players like Wendell Moore Jr., Matthew Hurt, Joey Baker and Jordan Goldwire should give Coach K a squad that should contend.
Texas Tech +1800
VCU transfer forward Marcus Santos-Silva will play a leading role right away while teaming with Kyler Edwards and Avery Benson to give the Red Raiders one of the best trios in the country.
Michigan State +1800
The Spartans have a ton of talent on the perimeter, but will the Spartans find a capable replacement for former leader Cassius Winston? Joshua Langford is coming off an injury, bu Michigan State gets a talented newcomer in Joey Hauser.
Early 2018 NCAAB Championship Betting Predictions – January 16th Edition
Previous Betting News
With the 2017-18 college basketball season starting to heat up in a big way right now as conference plays continues all over the country, now is a perfect time for some early NCAAB Championship predictions that could help you cash in on the value-packed college basketball future odds that are currently being offered in our online sportsbook.
If you’re looking to find out which teams look like they’re offering some really good value as far as being legitimate championship contenders, let’s find out right now!
Early NCAAB Championship Betting Predictions
Michigan State
NCAAB Championship Odds: 9/2
The ninth-ranked Spartans (16-3) have lost two of three at the time of this writing, but this team has three likely NBA performers, a bunch of size and athleticism and a great head coach. I suspect Michigan State will start to look and play like a legitimate championship title contender before it’s all said and done!
Duke
NCAAB Championship Odds: 6/2
The fifth-ranked Duke Blue Devils (16-2) may have the top pick in the next NBA Draft on their roster in the gifted Marvin Bagley III (22.0 ppg, 11.7 rpg) and they’re going to be a lot better later on than they are right now. Still, something about the mostly young Dookies bothers me and leads me to believe they’re not going to be a Final Four team once March Madness rolls around.
Villanova
NCAAB Championship Odds: 8/2
I love top-tanked Villanova’s (16-1) elite offense and the way the Wildcats share the wealth at the offensive end of the floor with a whopping five players averaging double figures in scoring and another player just off the mark at 9.9 points per game. More importantly, Villanova plays the game the right way and always makes the pass to the open guy!
Wichita State
NCAAB Championship Odds: 18/1
The Shockers have gone from a program that was once viewed with mostly curiosity to a perennial powerhouse and this year’s team looks quite formidable. Wichita State ranks a stellar 22nd in scoring (84.9 ppg) and solid 86th in points allowed (68.3 ppg) and they look like they’re going to be difficult to dispatch once March gets underway.
Kentucky
NCAAB Championship Odds: 18/1
Love him or loathe him, John Calipari has mastered the art of creating power, one-and-done based perennial powerhouses. Kentucky (14-3) is really young (again) and that could derail their championship hopes. However, this year’s team has the look and feel of a team similar to last season’s young squad that got better as the season progressed and was really good by the time the national championship tournament got underway.
West Virginia
NCAAB Championship Odds: 20/1
The Mountaineers (15-3) can score the ball as they rank 47th nationally (81.2 ppg) and they can defend as well as anyone as they limit the opposition to just 65.7 points per game (40th). They also have a great two-way star in Jevon Carter and a head coach that knows how to win games no matter how unlikable Bob Huggins may be. The Final Four looks like a very real possibility to me right now!
Virginia
NCAAB Championship Odds: 20/1
Virginia (16-1) may need a little bit more offensive firepower (70.5 ppg, 276th), but they way they play defense (52.9 ppg, 1st) leads me to believe they could literally beat any team in the country!
I mean, just think about it, Virginia held high-scoring North Carolina to a mind-boggling 49 points in their Jan. 6 ACC matchup!
Texas A&M
NCAAB Championship Odds: 20/1
I have no idea why the Texas A&M (11-6) is a 20/1 pick to win anything, but the Aggies look pretty awful right now having lost five straight games while getting blown out by Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee.
Oklahoma
NCAAB Championship Odds: 25/1
Goodness gracious, you’ve got to love the value that the now sixth-ranked Sooners are offering as a 25/1 pick to win it all. The Sooners have the nation’s best player in point guard Trae Young who leads the nation in scoring and assists (30.1 ppg and 9.9 apg) and Oklahoma also leads the country in scoring. Make no mistake about it, this team is dangerous with a capital ‘D’.
Texas Tech
NCAAB Championship Odds: 66/1
When you play defense like the Red Raiders (15-2) do, you’re going to have a chance to beat any team in the country on any given day.
Texas Tech holds the opposition to just 60.8 points per game () and they also have a star in Keenan Evans (17.5 ppg) and several other solid, if not, star-like, players.
Early 2016 March Madness Betting Predictions
Previous Betting News
With the 2016 March Madness continuing to draw dauntingly closer, we’ve decided to take a randomized sweeping look at a number of title-contending teams and what can be expected of them after Selection Sunday. As is always the case around early February, you will find some teams that have underperformed, but are likely to finish the season strongly, while others that have outperformed in the NCAAB odds are also likely to find themselves scaled down when the heat of conference games proves unbearable. Not to mention, for the first time since 1948-49, five No. 1 teams have lost their hierarchy status before February, so no one is seemingly going to run the table like last year’s Kentucky Wildcats dominated the NCAAB lines from the preseason to the Final Four. Keeping all that in mind, the NCAA Tournament betting analysis below should thus be taken with a pinch of salt.
Early March Madness Betting Predictions
Best of the Best: Current Top 4
Oklahoma Sooners
No doubt, the #1 Sooners have largely exceeded expectations to be this highly ranked in February. But then again, what else would you expect from a team with the top Player of the Year candidate in Buddy Hield? It remains to be seen if Oklahoma can continue to win and do so convincingly, but from the current look of things, everything should just be fine. Hield is a key player and the fact that he is hitting over 50 percent of field goals and three will be key for his team’s success. But even if Hield isn’t lights out, the Sooners have enough talent to go around. I mean, this is team that is shooting over 46 percent from 3-point land and is one pace to break the record set by the 2012 Northern Colorado team that is the only team to finish its season with more than 45 percent of its 3’s. With that, standing the test of time shouldn’t be a big deal for this all-rounded team that is hell-bent on making history. March Madness Prediction: Possible Finalists in the NCAA Championship Game, Reaches Final Four at the Bare Minimum.
North Carolina Tar Heels
To no one’s surprise, Roy Williams’ North Carolina is the consensus favorite to win the Big Dance title in April, going by the latest NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship odds. The #2 Tar Heels held the top-ranking in the nation through the first full month of the non-conference schedule, but lost at Northern Iowa, which saw them relinquish their spot atop the polls. After that, the Heels bounced back but again suffered a defeat to Shaka Smart’s Texas Longhorns, followed by another recent defeat at the Yum in Louisville by Rick Pitino’s Cardinals. The three losses have seen an increasing number of pundits start to question UNC’s March Madness credentials, with several criticisms coming against North Carolina’s starting five that has, for a while, been regarded as the best in college hoops. That said, RPI breakdowns and conference standings have Roy’s Boys in safety with a strong résumé for the Big Dance, which currently includes a win over the current Maryland and a stellar 8-1 record against KenPom.com top-100 teams. That should be able to see the Tar Heels earn a top-seed in March Madness, unless they continue to dwindle down with more losses down the stretch. March Madness Prediction: Safe to Reaches at least the Final Four.
Villanova Wildcats
Are obviously a good team, but I’ve repeatedly seen them choke when it matters most in the Big Dance, so I won’t waste my breath on them. My best advice is; keep off, if you know what’s good for you. March Madness Prediction: Will be bundled out of the Tournament in the Last 16.
Maryland Terrapins
Despite suffering loss to UNC, and a respectable one at that, and also getting another setback in the form of a defeat to the Michigan State Spartans, Maryland has bounced back quite well, starting with the hard-earned victory over the #3 Iowa that preserved their undefeated home record. Since then, the Terps have recorded two more road wins, with the likes of Melo Trimble and Jake Layman shining for the three-loss Terrapins. Assessing the team, Maryland’s savvy outside size on inside should set them up nicely not only for the remainder of the season, but for the March Madness as well. It, however, remains to be seen if the Terps will be able to handle Big-man teams down the stretch of the season. A good way to assess that would be to watch their game against the physical Boilermakers this weekend. March Madness Prediction: Reaches the Final Eight and suffer an upset loss.
A Look at the Remaining Top-10 Teams
#5 Iowa: I haven’t been keenly following their on-goings, which probably means they’ll be really good when I start watching and supporting them in the Tourney. March Madness Prediction: Makes it to the Final Four.
#6 Xavier: The Musketeers own the best winning percentage in the country, and have been perennial strong contenders, making them a must-watch team in the Dance. March Madness Prediction: Reaches at Least the Final Eight, with the Possibility of Doing Even Better.
#7 Kansas: Ridiculously good with home advantage and have a good coach with a history of succeeding in the Big Dance. March Madness Prediction: Definitely a Final Eight team.
#8 Texas A&M: Will win the SEC title for first time in school’s history, but struggle to cope with the pressure of the Tourney: March Madness Prediction: Loses in first Big Dance game.
#9 Virginia: Defense, Defense, Defense! (See the 63-47 road win over Louisville for reference). Also undefeated at home. March Madness Prediction: Round of 16 Material.
#10 Michigan State:DENZEL VALENTINE. PERIOD! March Madness Prediction: Repeats Last year’s Feat with Coach Tom Izzo by Reaching the Final Four.
Unranked But Good to Go The Distance
Gonzaga: Have the star power of Kyle Wiltjer, a preseason All-American, and forward Domantas Sabonis, and have made 17 consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament, often staying on their feet for a while when in the Dance Floor. March Madness Prediction: Surprises with a Final Eight appearance.
Ohio State: Have 14 wins already and are tied for sixth in the Big Ten with Michigan State. If they can win test against Wisconsin on the Kohl Center, they’d be rejuvenated to fight for a Tourney spot and play their hearts out to prove worth. March Madness Prediction: Reaches Round of 16.
Duke: Amile Jefferson will return just in time to help Coach K’s team to turnaround their middle-of-the-pack ACC status. And once in the Tournament, the Devil in Duke will take over with an evil genius that takes them at least to the Final Eight. March Madness Prediction: Final Eight it is!
Cinderella Schools (Outside the Power Five)
Forgetting about the Cinderella schools that will have their fate decided by invitation by the selection committee in March, the following mid-to-lower majors look the part of being able to earn automatic bid into the Big Dance: Stony Brook (America East), Montana (Big Sky), North Florida (Atlantic Sun), UC Irvine (Big West), UNC-Asheville (Big South), Hofstra (CAA), Valparaiso (Horizon), UAB (CUSA), Yale (Ivy), Akron (Mid-American), Monmouth (MAAC) and Hampton (MEAC), among others!!!
Final Remarks
Keep away from the following schools that have been banned from participating in the NCAA Championship or any type of conference tournaments: Alcorn State (SWAC), Cal-State Northridge (Big West), Central Arkansas (Southland), Florida A&M (MEAC), Missouri (SEC), SMU (AAC), Pacific (WCC), Southern Miss (C-USA), Stetson (Atlantic Sun).
IndyCar Odds to Win & Top Races Analysis in the 2025 Calendar
We are at the stage of the year when motor sports are either over or about to come to an end until next year.
While it’s certainly a disappointing time for race fans, the good news is that we don’t have to wait particularly long to see the drivers get back on track for some high-speed action.
Analysis of the Top Races in the 2025 calendar
Before things start up again, we can always look ahead at what’s to come.
For the purposes of this piece, we are looking at some of the drivers who might well be in the hunt for a championship in 2025.
We will also take a look at some of the bigger races on the 2025 schedule, so let’s get to it.
You can’t talk about a potential champion without talking about Àlex Palou, who comes into the new season looking for a three-peat. That is not something that you see very often in motorsports, with history suggesting that it will be hard to do. That said, you cannot argue with how consistently good Palou has been in his career.
While age might be starting to become a factor, Scott Dixon always needs to be included in the conversation. He is a multiple champion and always seems to be hanging around with the leaders in the years when he doesn’t win.
Last season was very much a down year for Josef Newgarden, but this is a driver who can shake that off and get back to the top. I think we will see a major bounce back season for Newgarden in 2025.
Other drivers that need to be considered are Colton Herta, Scott McLaughlin, Will Power, and Pato O’Ward. The smart money would appear to be on Palou for his 3rd straight championship, but there is always the chance that someone can emerge from the pack and make a run.
We get a massive race early in the season, with the Thermal Club race on March 23rd. This race was a one-off last year and was not a points race, but in 2025, there will be points up for grabs, making it an even bigger race on the schedule.
Indianapolis will host a pair of big races back-to-back. The road course race will go on May 10, followed by the Indianapolis 500, which is easily the biggest race on the schedule, on May 25.
We have a doubleheader coming our way in June at the Iowa Speedway. These doubleheader days are always fun, and with so many points up for grabs over the course of 2 days, we might see the standings change dramatically.
We all love street races, and we have one coming our way on July 20, with the drivers set to take to the city streets in Toronto. These types of races are always a difficult challenge, and it’s fun to see who can best handle the challenging conditions.
The battle for the IndyCar Championship very often goes down to the wire, so if that happens again, we need to have the final race of the season in Nashville in among the IndyCar races to watch in 2025.

2024 NFL TNF Week 12: Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns
Thursday, November 14th at 8:15 pm ET – Prime Video | Huntington Bank Field, Cleveland, Ohio
Writer’s Pick for the Week 12 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to bet Pittsburgh versus Cleveland
The Pittsburgh offense is rolling
During Pittsburgh’s 5-game winning streak the least amount of points the Steelers scored was 18 in a nice 18-16 victory over the rival Ravens.
Versus the Raiders, the Steelers scored 32.
Pittsburgh dropped 37 agaisnt the Jets, 27 versus the Giants, and 28 against the Commanders.
Pittsburgh’s offense, due to the excellent rushing abilities of Najee Harris and Ty Warren and Wilson’s connection with George Pickens, is taking apart good defenses.
T.J. Watt is having another NFL Defensive Player of the Year season
T.J. Watt, a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is having another fantastic season.
What has 7.5 sacks, 27 solo tackles, and an incredible 4 forced fumbles.
Although his sack numbers aren’t as high as in previous seasons, T.J. requires double teams on every play, which allows Pittsburgh’s other defenders to move into positions to make tackles or sacks.
Watt is the leader of the best defense in the NFL.
Mike Tomlin is making all the right moves
There is a reason many NFL handicappers, me included, believe Mike Tomlin is the best coach in the NFL.
Tomlin has made all the right moves this season and Pittsburgh, which was projected to finish fourth in the division, is a legit AFC North contender.
The Steelers are a legit Super Bowl contender.
The key decision was handing the ball to Russell Wilson after Justin Fields had played so well early in the season.
But the real decision, the one that makes Pittsburgh a real contender for the Lombardi, was hiring former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith as the offensive coordinator.
Smith has turned the Steelers’ offense into a unit that can score against anybody.
Pittsburgh Projected Offense Starters
QB Russell Wilson
RB Najee Harris
WR George Pickens
WR Van Jefferson
WR Calvin Austin III
TE Pat Freiermuth
LT Dan Moore Jr.
LG Isaac Seumalo
C Zach Frazier
RG Mason McCormick
RT Boderick Jones
Pittsburgh Projected Defensive Starters
LDE Larry Ogunjobi
NT Keanu Benton
RDE Cameron Heyward
WLB T.J. Watt
LILB Patrick Queen
RILB Payton Wilson
SLB Preston Smith
LCB Donte Jackson
SS DeShon Elliott
FS Minkah Fitzpatrick
RCB Joey Porter Jr.
Reasons to bet Cleveland versus Pittsburgh
Jameis Winston is in control of the Browns’ offense
Winston, who has been notorious for throwing multiple picks in games as a starter, has a decent 7 touchdowns to 3 interceptions ratio.
Not only that, but Winston is lighting up secondaries.
Jamies appears to have more control over the offense than Deshaun Watson ever did.
Don’t be surprised if the Browns move Watson after this season and lean on Jameis in 2025.
Cleveland’s D steps it up at home
Cleveland’s defense has struggled this season. But the usually stout unit always steps it up at home.
The defense held the Ravens to 24 points in a surprising 29-24 Cleveland win.
If the defense steps up against Russell Wilson and the Steelers offense on Thursday night, Cleveland could pull off the upset victory.
The key will be to pressure Wilson into bad throws.
Nick Chubb is beginning to play like the old Nick Chubb

Betting 2024 Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles Week 11 TNF Game
Washington heads to Philadelphia on Thursday night in one of the most important playoff implication games of the season.
Both the Commanders and the Eagles have a shot at the NFC East crown. Washington is 7-3 while the Eagles are 7-2.
Philadelphia is the home chalk after drubbing the rival Dallas Cowboys 34-6 in NFL Week 10.
Jayden Daniels almost orchestrated another amazing finish in a close loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Commanders’ last.

2024 NFL TNF Week 11: Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles
Thursday, November 14th at 8:15 pm ET – Prime Video | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA ATS Odds: Philadelphia -2 SU Odds: Commanders +140 / Eagles -166 Over/Under Odds: 49.5
Writer’s Pick for the Week 11 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to bet Washington versus Philadelphia
Jayden Daniels is already one of the league’s top quarterbacks
Daniels is playing so well that many believe he’s a top NFL MVP.
LSU’s Heisman Trophy winner averages 5.5 yards per carry. He’s also completing a high percentage of his passes.
Not only that but Daniels has the it factor.
Jayden threw the amazing Hail Mary pass that led to the 18-15 victory over the Bears a few weeks ago.
Daniels almost rallied the Commanders to a last second field goal victory over TJ Ward and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10.
The Washington offense is one of the best in the NFL
Based on stats, no team has as potent of an offense as the Washington Commanders.
Under offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, the Commanders average close to 30 points per game.
Only Baltimore averages more.
What’s impressive about the Commanders is that unlike the Ravens, which leans on Derrick Henry as well as Lamar Jackson, D.C. doesn’t have a top running back.
Instead, Daniels leads the team in rushing yards.
Washington is 3-1 straight up in their last 4 road games
The Commanders are a great road team.
The lone road loss in the last four came versus Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Washington beat the Bengals 38-33, NFC West leading Arizona 42-14, and the New York Giants 27-22 in three of their last four road games.
Reasons to bet Philadelphia versus Washington
Philadelphia has won 5 straight
The Eagles have taken control of their destiny.
Since losing two of their first four games, the losses came against non-divisional foes Atlanta and Tampa Bay, Philly has rolled to 5 straight wins.
Philly dusted the Browns, Giants, Bengals, Jaguars, and Cowboys.
Also, Philadelphia is stronger at home than they are on the road, which is why they’re the 3-point favorite.
Jalen Hurts is heating up
In the Eagles’ last five games, Hurts has a 9 TD to 1 INT ratio. He’s thrown for at least 200 yards in four of the last five.
Jalen also has 9 rushing touchdowns in the Eagles’ last 6 games.
Saquon Barkley is one of the best running back in the NFL
One of the reasons Hurts has been so effective this NFL season is because Saquon Barkley is unstoppable.
Barkley is averaging 5.8 yards per carry.
Saquon has rushed for close to 1,000 yards and has scored 6 rushing TDs.
Barkley also has 21 catches this season and 2 TD catches.
Washington at Philadelphia Final Betting Prediction
Not only is Barkley and Hurts dominating defenses but A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are healthy, which means Philly brings their entire offensive arsenal into this game.
The Eagles will be tough to beat.
Still, the Commanders go into this off a loss.
Also, Washington dropped 27 points onto one of the top defenses in the NFL in their last, Pittsburgh’s.
If Washington can score 27 against the Steelers, they should be able to score 30 or more against the Eagles.
The Commanders are a decent moneyline play.
Taking the points is the way to go if you’re betting the spread.
The over/under total is short at 49.5. Both these teams should score at least 28 with the winner scoring over 30.
Go over and take the points on Daniels and his mates.
They get an Eagles team that probably has the biggest need to reach the postseason in 2024.
The 2023 ending did not go well in Philadelphia.

2024 NFL TNF Week 10: Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals
Thursday, November 7th at 8:15 pm ET – Prime Video | M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland ATS Odds: Ravens -6 SU Odds: Bengals +200 / Ravens -255 Over/Under Odds: 52.5
Writer’s Pick for the Week 10 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Burrow almost led Cincinnati to a win over Baltimore in the first game
Joe Cool and Cincy struggled early in the NFL season but versus the Ravens, Burrow and his mates almost got it done.
The Cincinnati quarterback lit up the Baltimore secondary with 5 TD passes and 392 yards.
Heading into Thursday night’s matchup, Burrow has thrown 20 TDs, including tossing 5 in a dominating victory over the Raiders on Nov 3.
Joe knows how to play against the Ravens and it will show on Thursday night.
The Bengals Have Gone 4-2 Straight Up in Their Last 6
Because of Burrow’s terrific play, the Bengals have dominated in their last 6 games.
Cincinnati’s 2 losses came against the Ravens in the first matchup 41-38 in overtime and versus the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that got away from Cincinnati.
The wins were against Cleveland, the Giants, Carolina, and the Raiders.
In their last, the Bengals played their best game of the NFL season, destroying the Vegas Raiders 41-24.
RB Chase Brown has Gotten into a Rhythm
Zack Moss is out, which is why the Bengals traded for former Bear Kahlil Herbert.
The former Chicago player won’t overtake Chase Brown on the depth chart, though.
The reason is because Brown has been phenomenal.
He averages 4.6 yards per carry while dashing for 479 yards and running for 4 TDs.
Also, Brown can catch the ball.
Chase caught 5 passes for 37 yards and a TD against the Raiders.
Brown has moved into the role that Joe Mixon had while in Cincinnati.
His emergence is one of the reasons Cincinnati has gotten hot.
Reasons to bet Baltimore versus Cincinnati
Lamar Jackson is on his Way to a Third NFL MVP
Jackson is having a banner season.
He’s on his way to close to 40 TD passes, has tossed just 2 interceptions, and continues to be one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL.
He’s playing so well that a third MVP is all but assured.
It’s amazing considering that Lamar headed into the season after winning his second league most valuable player award.
Improving off last season didn’t seem possible but that’s what Lamar Jackson has done.
Derrick Henry is Having a Hall of Fame Worthy Season
One of the reasons Lamar is finding so much success is because the Ravens acquired the best pure rusher in football.
Derrick Henry was great at Tennessee.
At Baltimore, Henry’s rushing prowess borders on the supernatural.
The future hall of fame running back averages 6.3 yards per carry.
He’s already rushed for 1,052 yards and 11 TDs and the Ravens have 8 more games to play.
The man is the epitome of the term “unstoppable” because everybody on the defense knows he’s getting the ball but they can do nothing about it.
The Baltimore Defense Turned the Switch in the Win Over the Broncos
For most of this season the Baltimore Ravens defense had struggled.

Ravens 41 Bengals 38 on Week 5: October 6th, 2024: Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati, OH

Writer’s Pick for the Week 9 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to Bet Houston versus NYJ
Joe Mixon is dominating defenses
The former Bengal is having a fantastic season. Mixon is known as a pass catching running back but he’s dominating on the ground.
Joe is averaging 4.9 yards per carry this season while scoring 5 touchdowns and rushing for over 500 yards. He has caught 14 passes and a TD.
Also, the Jets allowed the Patriots to rush for 111 yards and Mixon runs behind a much better offensive line than what New England has.
The Houston defense is playing lockdown football
The Texans have allowed 24 or more points in just 3 games this season. Indianapolis scored 27 in a 29-27 Houston win in NFL Week 1.
In NFL Week 3, the Vikings beat the Texans 34-7. The Packers beat the Texans 24-22 at Lambeau a couple of Sundays ago.
Other than the Colts, Vikings, and Packers, the Houston defense has held opposing offenses in check.
The Texans can win without C.J. Stroud throwing for 300 yards a game
C.J. Stroud is one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL but he doesn’t have to take over a game for the Texans to score points.
Stroud threw 3 TD passes versus the Patriots but had just 192 yards and an INT and the Texans beat New England 41-21.
With that being written, C.J. will step it up if he must.
He threw for 330 yards and a TD with a pick in a win over the Bills and threw for 285 and a TD in a win against the Colts in NFL Week 8.
C.J.’s ability to run to offense to ensure the Texans are in a position to win is one of his best strengths.
Reasons to Bet NYJ versus Houston
Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers began to click in NFL Week 8
One of the most successful quarterback and wide receiver combinations in NFL history could be on the verge of a massive breakout game.
In his first in Jets’ green, Davante Adams caught 3 of 9 Aaron Rodgers’ passes for 30 yards.
The pair was more efficient in the loss to the Patriots when Adams caught 4-of-6 targets for 54 yards.
On Thursday, Rodgers and Adams should be even better and the Texans have allowed opposing WR1s to have big games like Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson catching 6 for 81 yards and a TD earlier in the season.
Haason Reddick will be on the field on Thursday night
Reddick, a holdout until a week or so ago, didn’t step onto the field in the loss to the Patriots.
Haason should start on Thursday night.
Reddick’s impact will be immediate.
He’s one of the top ends in football as evidenced by four straight seasons of at least 11 sacks.
But Reddick isn’t just a sack specialist.
He’s also a force against the rush, which should give the Jets’ defense a slight edge versus Joe Mixon and the Houston rushing attack.
The Jets are due for some good luck
After upheaval all season, the Jets are due for something positive.
The NFL is a league where every team faces ups and downs.
Think about the Saints which won their first 2 games of the season after scoring a combined 93 points only to end up losing their next 5 while scoring less than 20.
Or the Baltimore Ravens which started this season 0-2 and then went on a 5-game winning streak.
The Jets are due for the good luck that eventually returns to talented teams.
The NFL gods may smile on the J-E-T-S on Thursday night.
Houston at NYJ Final Betting Prediction
On paper, the Texans win this game but we can’t and shouldn’t, ignore the massive spread line change.
It takes a lot of money for a team to go from a -1 favorite to a +1.5 dog.
The money can’t just be the public throwing dollars on the Jets because most of the time the public backs the favorite, which means pro handicappers are betting NYJ.
Is that money correct?
It is. Houston has gotten lucky in 3 of their last 4 wins.
The Texans beat the Jags 24-20, the Bills 23-20, and the Colts 23-20. All 3 wins came at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Rodgers and Adams will flourish on Thursday night.
The band should be back together while Haason Reddick is going to be fired up to sack Stroud and shut down Mixon.
The game will be close but the Jets prevail in a cover victory that goes over the total.
The Jets have lost 5 straight and are 2-6 SU this season
Aaron Rodgers has thrown 7 INTs this season, the second time he’s thrown more than 6 INTs in the past 8 seasons
The Jets’ defense has allowed 23 or more points in 5-of-8 games
C.J. Stroud has an 11-to-4 TD-to-INT ratio in 2024
Joe Mixon has rushed for 503 yards while averaging 4.9 yards per carry
Stefon Diggs has led the Texans in receiving yards in 3 of the last 4 Houston games
Texans are 8-1 (88.9%) in their last 9 games as a favorite

Writer’s Pick for the Week 7 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to Bet Denver Versus New Orleans
The Broncos defense has dominated in games
Although Sean Payton is known has having an offensive mind, the Denver Broncos are a defense led team.
The Broncos’ D has smashed opponents this NFL season.
In Denver’s 3 wins, the Broncos allowed more than 10 points just once, versus the Raiders in a 34-18 Denver victory.
The Broncos gave up 9 to Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in a 10-9 win.
Denver allowed the Buccaneers to score 7 in a 26-7 victory.
Bo Nix has become a decent rookie quarterback
Bo Nix’s stats aren’t eye popping but that’s okay.
Nix has turned into a decent rookie quarterback because Sean Payton has simplified the playbook and allowed Bo to lean on a good rushing attack.
Nix threw a pick versus the Chargers.
But before the loss to LAC, Nix hadn’t thrown an interception during the Broncos’ 3-game winning streak.
Versus the Raiders, Nix threw for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Sean Payton is coming up with great game plans
Payton and the Broncos had a chance versus the Chargers, losing by 7 in a 23-16 game.
So even in the loss to Los Angeles, Sean Payton’s game plan was great.
In the three wins, Payton’s players executed his plans to perfection.
No doubt, Payton is going to have something special up his sleeve in his return to New Orleans.
Reasons to Bet New Orleans Versus Denver
Saints are tough to beat in the Superdome
Yes, the Saints lost to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in the Superdome in NFL Week 6.
Tampa, Saints, scored 20 of their 51 points in the fourth quarter.
Heading into the fourth, the Saints were down 31-27 and had a shot to take the lead.
But New Orleans imploded. The Saints should be much tougher at home versus former coach Sean Payton and the Broncos on Thursday.
Rookie Spencer Rattler had a decent debut at QB versus the Buccaneers
Rattler was shaky at times but overall he had a decent debut versus the Buccaneers.
The stat line, a TD, 2 interceptions, and 243 yards isn’t worst rookie debut in history.
Rattler should improve in his second start. Not only that, but the Saints QB completed just 55% of his passes.
So there’s also room for improvement there.
If Chris Olave is healthy enough to play, Rattler’s numbers may be good enough for a Saints win and cover.
The Saints defense will be much better against Denver than it was versus Tampa
The Saints D flat out imploded against Tampa.
New Orleans defense looked great early, picking off Baker Mayfield 3 times.
But then the Saints allowed Baker to get hot.
Mayfield ended up throwing 4 touchdowns.
For the Saints D it’s a question of consistency.
If the Saints play defense for four quarters and not just the first half, they should handle Bo Nix and the Broncos offense.
Denver at New Orleans Final Betting Prediction
After two fantastic performances, the New Orleans Saints have lost 4 straight.
New Orleans has emerged as one of the worst teams not only in the NFC but also in the NFL.
The Saints issues don’t just start at quarterback where Derek Carr must sit out due to an oblique injury.
Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has begun to call plays as if he were reading off a Pop Warner app.
The man has lost his touch and doesn’t seem to get his players into the best position to move the football and score touchdowns.
Olave may not play in this and the Saints D had the look of a defeated unit even before the fourth quarter.
The Broncos won’t dominate the way Baker and the Bucs did. But Denver should have no trouble adding to New Orleans’ woes.
Broncos get the win straight up in an under, ugly, and unentertaining game.

Writer’s Pick for the Week 6 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to Bet San Francisco Versus Seattle
San Francisco has lost games because they make mistakes not because the other team beats them
When the 49ers have lost this season it’s because they’ve made boneheaded plays at inopportune times.
If the Niners keep their minds on football and stay focused, they remain one of the better teams in the NFL.
SF lost 23-17 to the Vikings, 27-23 to the Rams, and 24-23 to Arizona.
In the two games they kept their minds on business, versus the Jets and Patriots, they dominated.
The Niners almost always bounce back after a loss
Earlier this season, the 49ers lost 2 straight games.
However, the losing streak was more an anomaly.
Looking back at San Francisco’s history since Kyle Shanahan took over as head coach, the team has almost never lost 2 straight games.
Not only that, but the loss to Arizona requires perspective.
SF had the game won and failed to close the door on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.
They won’t allow Seattle to get back into the game if San Francisco gets the lead.
Deebo Samuel will be better this week than he was in NFL Week 5
Deebo returned from an injury in NFL Week 5, which might explain why Brock Purdy targeted his star receiver just 3 times.
Samuel rushed 3 times for 9 yards and caught a single pass from the 3 targets.
This week, expect Shanahan to device a plan to flatters Samuel’s abilities.
Deebo is one of the top weapons in the NFL.
He should have no trouble navigating a Seattle defense that has shown softness in the last couple of weeks.
Reasons to Bet Seattle versus San Francisco
Seattle’s 12th Man will be in full force
After starting the season 3-0, the Seahawks have now lost 2 straight.
Seattle’s losses were in a road contest versus Detroit and then in a home game against the Giants.
The loss to the Giants stung not only the Seahawks but also their fans.
This game happens at Lumen Field in Seattle where the 12th Man is alive and well.
The Seahawks fans won’t allow their team to drop a second straight game at home.
Expect the 12th Man to give the Seahawks a massive boost.
The Seahawks are due for a bounce back after two straight losses
Speaking of the 2 straight losses, the Seahawks aren’t the type of team to drop 3 straight.
Nothing could be done about the defeat to Detroit.
The Lions are one of the top teams in the NFL, though.
Seattle was a strong favorite versus the Giants.
They found a way to drop the game.
Mike Macdonald is a defensive guru.
He will get the D straightened out in this game.
If the offense steps up, and it should, the Seahawks bounce back with a big NFC West win.
Geno Smith took a forward step versus the Giants
Although they lost, Seattle quarterback Geno Smith had one of his best performances of the season versus the New York Giants.
Smith threw for 284 yards when completing 28-of-40 and a TD.
Smith’s 70% completion percentage showed what he can do when given time.
A few lucky bounces, a blocked kick led to a Giants’ TD as an example, and Smith may have gotten the win for his team.
San Francisco at Seattle Final Betting Picks
This is a tough game to handicap because neither team is playing great football.
The San Francisco 49ers, though, are the pick against the spread.
The reason is because Seattle may be a paper tiger.
The Seahawks beat the Dolphins without Tua, the Patriots, and the Broncos in the first game of the season.
San Francisco should have beaten the Cardinals, were in the game versus the Vikings, and should have beaten the Rams.
If SF stays out of their own way, the 49ers win this game and cover the spread.
The matchup should go over.
Neither defense is playing excellent football.
Also, both teams will open things up after floundering on offense in their last game.
Go 49ers to over the total.

Writer’s Pick for the Week 5 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to Bet Tampa Bay Versus Atlanta
Baker Mayfield is having his best season as a pro
The quarterback that the struggling Cleveland Browns gave up to sign Deshaun Watson has found his groove.
Mayfield is dominating opposing defenses.
Baker is completing over 70% of his passes and has a sweet 8 TD to 2 INT ratio.
He’s also thrown for over 900 yards.
The best part? Mayfield doesn’t play favorites.
Chris Godwin has 27 catches.
Mike Evans has 18 and both RB Rachaad White and TE Cade Otton have 14.
The Buccaneers defense is locking down on great offensive teams
In NFL Week 5, the Buccaneers’ D put the clamps on Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense.
Hurts, Barkley and Philly’s O accounted for 14 points in Tampa’s blowout win.
Saquon had just 84 yards rushing and Hurts threw for just 158 and a single TD.
Tampa’s D is playing lights out.
Tampa Bay already has a quality road win versus Detroit
Baker and his mates have already proven that they can win on the road.
The Buccaneers got a quality victory over Jared Goff and the Lions in Detroit in NFL Week 2.
The game was classic Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers beat the Lions 20-16.
Goff threw for 307 yards but Tampa picked Jared off twice in the win.
The Buccaneers are comfortable facing a hostile crowd and winning.
Reasons to Bet Atlanta Versus Tampa Bay
Kirk Cousins and the offense have begun to gel
Cousins didn’t look comfortable in the first two games of the season but versus the Saints, he picked it up.
Kirk wasn’t great, he threw a pick without throwing a TD, but he orchestrated the game winning drive that led to the Younghoe Koo 58-yard field goal.
The former Minnesota Vikings player appears to have begun to find his rhythm.
Cousins threw 6 passes to Drake London, his top target.
Another step in the right direction could lead to a breakout game versus the Buccaneers.
Younghoe Koo kicks field goals for Atlanta
Koo is one of the top weapons in football.
Facing a 1-point deficit against the rival New Orleans Saints at home, Koo managed a 58 yarder that sealed the win.
The victory brought the Falcons to .500 and sent the Saints to .500.
If it comes down to a field goal on Thursday night, the ATL has the advantage because of Younghoe Koo.
Atlanta’s pass defense has begun to play great football
The Atlanta pass defense is picking it up.
Derek Carr and the Saints had been lights out the first two weeks of the season.
New Orleans didn’t look great in NFL Week 3 but hoped to bounce back versus the ATL.
The Falcons held Carr to 239 passing yards and an interception.
Atlanta also sacked Carr, just their second sack of the season.
If Atlanta’s defense gels more on Thursday night, it could be a turning point for the ATL D.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta Final Betting Prediction
Save for the 26-7 loss to Denver, the Buccaneers have been one of the top teams in the league so far this season.
TB has quality victories over playoff contenders Washington, Philadelphia, and Detroit.
Tampa is winning games via smart play from Baker Mayfield and a fantastic defense.
Also, the loss to the Broncos looked strange at first but Denver beat the Jets in NFL Week 4.
So, maybe, Denver isn’t as bad as many believe.
Atlanta is a tough, good football team.
But Kirk Cousins will struggle versus the TB pass rush and neither Bijan Robinson nor Drake London should have breakout games.
Tampa can get the win straight up while the game should go under because neither Atlanta nor the Bucs play fast.

Kirk Cousins is likely to be the starting quarterback for Atlanta in this game.

Writer’s Pick for the Week 4 TNF Game, plus Analysis on Both Teams
Reasons to Bet Dallas Versus NYG
Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense clicked in NFL Week 3
Although Dallas lost the game, Prescott and his mates clicked in NFL Week 3.
Dak threw for 379 yards and 2 touchdowns and Dallas scored 25 points.
Prescott has thrown for 851 yards and 4 TDs to 2 interceptions.
He’s doing what he must to keep the Cowboys in the game and Dak didn’t rely on CeeDee Lamb to get it done.
Instead, he leaned on tight end Jake Ferguson.
The Dallas Defense Should Hound Daniel Jones All Night
Micah Parsons and the Dallas defense has yet to have one of those shutdown games.
That could come on Thursday night.
No quarterback Dallas has faced has had as many issues as Daniel Jones.
Jones looked okay against the Cleveland Browns but the Dallas defense is fantastic at pressuring opposing signal-callers.
If Parsons goes off, Jones will be in trouble.
The Cowboys are Unlucky to Be 1-2 Straight Up After 3 Games
The Cowboys should probably be 2-1 instead of 1-2. The Saints drubbed Dallas in NFL Week 2.
But the Cowboys were in the game all the way agaisnt the Baltimore Ravens.
If we use the Ravens game as a barometer, Dallas should overpower the Giants because they have better players.
Even though this is a road game, the Cowboys are the overall better squad.
Reasons to Bet NYG versus Dallas
The Giants’ Offense Broke Out in NFL Week 3
The New York Giants’ offense finally got it going in NFL Week 3.
Granted, they scored 21 points but it was how the Giants got the points that matters.
Facing a terrific Cleveland defense, Daniel Jones threw for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns after going 24-of-34.
Devin Singletary rushed for 65 yards and a TD and Malik Nabers dominated with 8 catches for 78 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
The Giants offense can keep it going versus a Dallas D that has struggled this NFL season.
NYG’s Defense Stepped it Up Versus Deshaun Watson and the Browns’ Offense
What was more impressive than the Giants’ offense is how the defense stepped it up.
NYG allowed Deshaun Watson to throw 2 touchdowns but kept Deshaun to under 200 yards passing.
Also, the G-Men bottled up the Cleveland rushing attack. Amari Cooper had a big game.
The Giants appeared to give up on containing Cooper in order to stop the Browns’ powerful rushing attack.
Head Coach Brian Daboll was in Sync Through the Entire Game
Rumors swirled last week that Daboll had lost the confidence of his players.
The performance in Cleveland proves otherwise.
For the first time this season, the genius level offensive intellect that Brian Daboll possesses was on full display.
His play calling was sheer perfection versus a defensive minded team on the road. It doesn’t get better than that.
Daboll knows how to coach against the Cowboys.
So we should expect another play calling masterclass.
Giants versus Cowboys Final Betting Prediction
Dallas has the better players on paper, but the Giants look like the better team.
For starters, the defense stepped it up against a top rushing team in NFL Week 3.
The G-Men won’t have to worry so much about Dallas’ rushing attack.
The Cowboys can’t rush the football, which means the Giants could sit back in a Cover 2, shade to CeeDee or even double Lamb in man-to-man, and beat Dallas’ rushing attack with their front seven.
On offense, the Giants are more fluid now that Jones and Nabers are on the same page.
The Boys have nobody that can cover Malik Nabers. So expect the rookie to have a big game.
Giants send Dallas to 1-3.

Reasons to bet New England to cover versus NYJ
The Patriots boast one of the league’s top defenses
New England gave up 327 passing yards and a TD to Geno Smith in the overtime loss to the Seahawks.
But although Smith and DK Metcalf torched the Patriots’ secondary, it took an OT field goal for the Hawks to win 23-20.
New England plays the bend but don’t break style of defense to perfection.
Jerod Mayo preaches stopping the run, which New England has done in 2 straight games.
An overtime FG is the difference between the Patriots going 2-0 and 1-1.
Jerod Mayo’s team is cohesive and plays with confidence
Speaking of Mayo, the loss to the Seahawks was another example of how the New England head coach has completely turned around the vibes in the building.
New England is a team that doesn’t make many mistakes.
The Pats’ roster doesn’t stand up to many teams in the league.
But their confidence and cohesion makes them a tough out for any squad.
Mayo’s fellas believe in him and it shows.
The Pats’ rushing attack can keep Aaron Rodgers off the field
While Rhamondre Stevenson dominated the Bengals in New England’s first game of the season, it was Antonio Gibson, the former Washington running back, who had the big game versus the Seahawks.
Stevenson still contributed.
So much so that the Patriots rushed for 185 yards and a 5.1 per carry average versus the Seahawks.
If New England has success rushing the ball against the Jets’ D, they will have a chance to win the game.
New England Projected Offense Starters
Reasons to bet NYJ to cover against New England
The Jets are better than New England on both sides of the ball
The difference in roster talent is frightening.
The Patriots start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, Rhamondre Stevenson at running back and KJ Osbourne at wide receiver.
The Jets start Aaron Rodgers at QB, Breece Hall at running back, and Garrett Wilson is NYJ’s top receiver.
On defense, the Jets boast stars like Quinnen Williams, Javon Kinlaw, C.J. Moseley, and Sauce Gardner.
Sometimes a team’s talent level is far superior than the other team’s talent level.
That’s the case in Jets versus Patriots.
Aaron Rodgers responds well to pressure
Few quarterbacks in NFL history responds to pressure as well as Aaron Rodgers.
After the laughable performance against the San Francisco 49ers, AR said he could play better.
He did in the Jets’ 24-17 win over the Titans, throwing for 182 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
Rodgers knows Jets versus Patriots is a classic rivalry.
He’ll be up to the task.
The Jets’ defense should dominate New England’s vanilla offense
The Jets’ defense knows the Patriots have a simple offensive strategy.
The Patriots will rush the football and play defense.
Knowing this, the Jets’ D should have no trouble putting an eighth man in the box and stopping the Patriots’ from rushing the football.
NYJ’s D should shut down Stevenson and Gibson.
NYJ Projected Offense Starters
Jets versus Patriots Final Betting Prediction
Although the Jets played much better against the Titans, there are reasons to worry.
For starters, the Titans and the 49ers absolutely dominated the Jets’ rush defense.
NYJ gave up 4.6 yards per carry to the Titans.
The Niners were even more effective on the ground.
When a team rushes the ball well, their chances of covering spreads goes up by 3 points.
New England will have success rushing the football.
So the line in this one should be Jets -3.5, not Jets -6.5.
Not only that, but Rodgers still doesn’t look comfortable.
In fact, the entire offense didn’t look great versus a so-so Titans’ defense.
Take the points for sure.
If you’re feeling lucky, and I am, back the Patriots on the moneyline.
New England is a field goal away from being 0-2 and Mayo has his boys believing they can beat anybody.

Writer’s Pick for the First Game of the NFL Season
Reasons to Bet Baltimore to Cover Versus the Kansas City Chiefs
Lamar Jackson has the best group of receivers he’s ever had
Second year pro Zay Flowers showed as a rookie that he deserves the WR1 mantle.
Flowers clicked big time with Lamar, catching 77 passes for 858 yards and scoring 5 touchdowns.
Veteran Nelson Agholor and steady Rashod Bateman will join Flowers in the starting lineup.
Tight end Mark Andrews is one hundred percent healthy.
When Andrews is healthy, he’s one of the bet TEs in the NFL.
Derrick Henry can catch the ball out of the backfield
Henry, one of the top ball rushers in the past decade, is also an accomplished pass catcher.
Henry had 33 receptions in 2022.
In 2023, Derrick caught 28 balls.
The catches came from journeyman quarterbacks and rookie Will Levis.
This season, Henry gets to catch the ball from Lamar Jackson, who can light it up through the air when required.
The addition of Henry makes the Ravens offense much more electric than it was in 2023.
Baltimore’s defense played great versus Kansas City in the AFC Championship
The Ravens lost the AFC title game but we can’t blame the defense.
Baltimore held Patrick Mahomes and the KC Chiefs to 17 points.
When Mahomes and his buds score only 17, you should win the ball game.
The defense knows how to handle Patrick and his mates.
So if the offense steps it up on Thursday night, the Ravens will be in line for a nice upset victory to start the season.
Reasons to Bet Kansas City Chiefs to Cover Versus the Baltimore Ravens
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid remain motivated
Although the Chiefs have won two straight Super Bowls and three since 2020, the core of the team, QB Mahomes, TE Kelce, and HC Reid continue to show motivation.
The three love what they do and it shows on the field.
One aspect of this is the fact that the Chiefs have embraced Taylor Swift and her army of Swifties.
Instead of seeing Swift as a distraction, they’ve welcomed her into the KC family.
Swift is a great motivator for Kelce and the rest of the team.
It takes a genius like Andy Reid to know that.
KC lost some decent players on defense, but most of the core remains intact
L’Jarius Snead is no longer a Kansas City Chief.
Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, and Justin Reid, though, are.
Bolton, Jones, and Reid make up the core of the KC defense.
The D held Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to 10 points in the AFC Championship game.
The game happened in Baltimore.
So the fact the Chiefs’ D came up so huge can’t be overestimated.
The game happens in Kansas City where some of the best fans in the NFL will be rooting for their team
Few fans are as passionate about their football team as Kansas City Chiefs fans.
Chiefs fans suffered through decades of bad seasons.
Now that they’re the top franchise in the NFL, the KC fans are going to show up in droves in the first game of the season.
They’re going to be screaming so loud that Lamar is going to have trouble calling plays.
The 12th Man will be alive and well in Kansas City on Thursday night.
Thursday Night Football Final Betting Pick | Chiefs versus Ravens
Trend betting this early in the season often doesn’t produce impressive results.
So if we don’t pay attention to the trends, we can paint a better picture of what might happen on Thursday night.
In that respect, the Ravens get the moneyline nod.
For sure, Kansas City is going to be hard to beat at home, but the Detroit Lions pulled it off in NFL Week 1 last season.
Not only that, but Baltimore is primed for a massive 2024.
Adding Henry is huge.
The former Tennessee Titans player is a fantastic pass catcher and blocker.
He adds a new dimension to Lamar’s game.
Expect Jackson to have a great game through the air.
On defense, Baltimore’s is better than Kansas City’s.
Although the Chiefs should have a decent defense, we don’t know the impact losing L’Jarius Snead will be until they play the games.
All in all, the Ravens offer terrific odds to win this straight up and only one of these teams, that’s Baltimore, will be playing with revenge on their minds.

Browns Playing Great Football
The Cleveland Browns looked great in the blowout win over Houston. Joe Flacco continued his dominance since coming over as the starting quarterback. Flacco threw for 368 yards and three touchdowns in the game. There was no doubt who his top target was, as Amari Cooper came away with a season high 265 yards and two touchdowns.
The Browns have moved into the Top 12 in scoring offense. A team that struggled to score early in the season is now up to 22.1 points per game. Cleveland has been playing without their starting quarterback DeShaun Watson, along with their starting running back Nick Chubb. Cleveland, despite that, is rushing for 123.7 yards per game.
The Cleveland Browns have this game, and then will finish the regular season on the road, against divisional rival Cincinnati.
Jets Looking to Ruin the Party
Trevor Siemian got the start for the Jets on Sunday. While he was not fantastic, he led the team to a win. Siemian completed 27 of 49 passes for 217 yards and a touchdown. He also threw an interception in the game. His lone touchdown pass was to Jason Brownless. Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson were the top targets, with a combined 21, and 172 yards.
The Jets have been one of the worst offensive teams in the league. The Jets are scoring just 14.4 points per game. New York’s rushing offense is near the bottom of the league with 85.1 yards per game.
For the New York Jets, after this, their final game will be on the road at the New England Patriots.
Jets vs Browns Betting Pick | Browns Top Jets
This is going to be a win for the Cleveland Browns. Both teams have good defense, but the offense of the Cleveland Browns has come through more than not. The Jets are not going to be heading to the postseason, and are ready to finish up their season.
The Browns are looking to keep their spot in the postseason, and get ready for postseason play. The final bet for this game is the Cleveland Browns -7.5 over the New York Jets. Best of luck with this game and enjoy the action!

Thursday, December 21st, 2023 at 8:15 pm ET | PRIME VIDEO
SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
On Thursday Night Football for Week 16, the New Orleans Saints will visit the Los Angeles Rams. This is a massive game for both teams, as they sit at 7-7 coming into the game. The New Orleans Saints have won back to back games, and in a three way tie for the lead in the NFC South. Currently, the Saints are outside looking in at the playoff picture, losing tiebreakers in the division and in the wildcard standings.
For the Los Angeles Rams, they have won four out of their last five. The Rams are coming off a home win over Washington. While they are second in the NFC West, they currently sit with the 7th seed in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams are -4.5 in this game over the New Orleans Saints.
MyBookie offers the NFL lines, game analysis, and betting pick for the New Orleans Saints versus the Los Angeles Rams which are playing on Week 16 of the NFL season.
Saints looking to Make it Three
The Saints are on a two game winning streak for the third time this season. New Orleans has yet to win three in a row. The Saints following this game will take a trip to Tampa Bay to battle the Buccaneers, in what should be another monster game. Then, in Week 18, the Saints will take on the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons are also still in the mix within the NFC South. This makes for a fun final three weeks for the folks in New Orleans.
The season for Derek Carr under center has been up and down. The signal caller has thrown for more than 3,000 yards, with 16 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. His receiving core has been in and out of the lineup. Michael Thomas was only able to play in 10 games this season, while Chris Olave had to sit out of Week 15. Olave leads the team, and needs just 82 more yards to reach 1,000. He also has four touchdown receptions.
Alvin Kamara is fourth on the team in receiving. He has caught 68 passes for 446 yards and has a touchdown. Kamara is the lead running back, with 630 yards and five touchdowns. He missed the first three games due to suspension. Do not forget about Taysom Hill. The quarterback that also plays tight end and running back has carried the ball 71 times for the Saints in 2023. He has 347 yards and four touchdowns as well.
Defense Has Been Calling Card
New Orleans is led on the defensive side by Demario Davis. Davis has 102 tackles, with 9 of them for loss. The Saints as a team have 19 sacks, with Davis and Carl Granderson leading the way with a combined 14 of them. Paulson Adebo leads the team in interceptions, with 4, while Tyrann Mathiue has three. Mathieu has the lone touchdown via interception for the Saints. D’Marco Jackson has one via a fumble as well.
Things have been pretty simple for the Saints in terms of winning or losing. In the Saints seven wins this season, they allowed 20 points or less in six of them. In their seven losses, the Saints allowed 20+ points in each of them.
McVay’s Rams Peaking at Right Time?
Sean McVay hopes his Los Angeles Rams are peaking at the right time. This is a team that sat 3-6 after a trio of losses to the Steelers, Cowboys and Packers. The Rams scored just 13 points per game during those losses. But, since the loss to Green Bay, the Rams have won four out of five games, and scored nearly 30 points per game during those four wins.
On the season, the Rams are scoring 23.4 points per game. That ranks 9th in the league. Matthew Stafford is up to 3,320 passing yards, with 21 touchdowns. Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp continue to be elite receivers for the Rams. Nacua leads the team, as he needs just 13 more receptions to get to 100 on the season. Nacua has 1,163 yards. Kupp was the big man in the win over Washington with a 62 yard touchdown.
Kyren Williams has been a godsend to the Rams offense. Williams has 186 carries for 953 yards and 8 touchdowns on the ground. The Rams have moved to 11th in all of the National Football League in rushing, with more than 121 per game.
Rams Home Finale
The Rams are playing their final home game of the season here. Los Angeles will visit New York to take on the Giants on New Year’s Eve, and then finish the season on the road at the San Francisco 49ers.
Rams on Defense
Ernest Jones leads the defensive unit for Los Angeles. This is a defense that has Aaron Donald, who has six sacks on the season. Byron Young also has six for the Rams. Los Angeles has yet to score a touchdown on defense in 2023.
Thursday Night Thriller to Start Week 16
We really like this Thursday Night Football matchup. This is a game that means a ton to both teams, and has massive playoff implications. The Rams are about as healthy as they have been all season long, and seem to be playing great football. The Saints are looking good defensively, and have won back to back games without giving up a touchdown. This is a sensational matchup.
Kyren Williams has been awesome for the Rams, and Alvin Kamara has made his career in New Orleans. Cooper Kupp on one side, and the Saints emerging receivers on the other. The offense of the Rams against the defense of the Saints. When push comes to shove, we like the Rams to win this game, and win by a touchdown. Too much Stafford to Kupp on Thursday Night Football. The Rams get a monster win, and set the Saints back a little. Take the Los Angeles Rams -4.5 over the New Orleans Saints in Week 16.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders | NFL Week 15 Thursday Night Football ATS Odds: Raiders -3 Money line Odds: Chargers Line: +135 / Raiders Line: -155 Over/Under Odds: 33.5
Thursday, December 14th, 2023 at 8:15 pm ET | PRIME VIDEO
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
Week 15 in the National Football League will feature a pair of teams from the AFC West. Both teams are at the bottom of their division, as the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders are 5-8 on the season.
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming into the game fresh off a 24-7 loss at home to the Denver Broncos. The Chargers the previous week beat the New England Patriots 6-0. For the Las Vegas Raiders, they are also coming off a loss. In fact, the Raiders have dropped three straight games. Last week, the Raiders fell at home to the Minnesota Vikings by a final score of 3-0.
The Las Vegas Raiders are the small favorites in this game. The Raiders are listed at -3 over the Chargers. The total for this game is set at 33.5 points. Los Angeles is +130 on the moneyline to pull the upset.
The Los Angeles Chargers had high expectations coming into the season, and it’s been a disaster since. Brandon Staley is likely to be fired once the 2023 season comes to an end. The Chargers are in the bottom half of points scored, with 21.7, and points allowed, with 21.7. The two biggest contributors this season for the Chargers have been Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen.
Ekeler has 497 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns, but is also part of the passing attack for the Chargers. Keenan Allen has 1,243 passing yards, on 108 receptions and 7 touchdowns. THe Chargers rank 10th in passing with 238.3 yards per game, while they are 26th in rushing with less than 100 per game. Justin Herbert has been the signal caller for the season, but is likely to miss this game, as Easton Stick came in and finished in the loss against the Broncos, after Herbert left with a hand injury.
Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston are next in the passing game for the Chargers. Palmer has 23 receptions for 377 yards, while Johnston, who is in his rookie season out of TCU has 29 receptions for 333 yards. He led the team in receiving yards in the loss to the Broncos, with 91.
Defensive Unit for Chargers
On the defensive side of the football, Kenneth Murray Jr leads the team with 100 tackles, while Derwin James Jr is at 93. Khalil Mack has been incredible for the Chargers, as he has 15 sacks, and over 115 yards lost on sacks this season. Turnovers have been a thing for the Chargers, but the defense has yet to score this season. Asante Samuel has two interceptions, while Alohi Gilman has two fumble recoveries for the Chargers.
Finishing out for Chargers
Los Angeles is at home on December 23rd against the Buffalo Bills. Then, the final two games of the season for the Chargers are at the Denver Broncos, and then at home against the Kansas CIty Chiefs.
Banged up Raiders Squad at 5-8
Josh Jacobs limped off the field in the fourth quarter of the loss to the Vikings, and his status for this game is in doubt. Jacobs, who led the National Football League in rushing yards a season ago has 805 on the season. He teams with Davante Adams, who needs just 133 yards receiving to reach 1,000 on the season. Those two are the top two offensive threats for a team that struggles to score.
Las Vegas is 28th in all of the National Football League with 15.5 points per game. The rushing attack for the Raiders is ranked dead last in all of the league with just 80.6 yards per game. Aidan O’Connell has come in and thrown four touchdowns in 7 games, and 7 interceptions. The quarterbacks for the Raiders this season have a combined 11 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions in 2023.
Defense for the Raiders
Las Vegas is led defensively by Robert Spillane, Maxx Crosy and Divine Deable. Those three are the top three in tackles for the Raiders. Spillane has been great with 115 total tackles, including six for loss on the season. Crosby has been the man getting after the quarterback, He has 13.5 sacks on the season, and 18 tackles for loss. Deablo is third on the team with 73 tackles.
The Raiders have scored one touchdown on the defensive side of the ball. That came from their veteran cornerback Marcus Peters, as he returned an interception for a touchdown. The Raiders have 10 interceptions on the season, with Spillane leading the charge with three. Las Vegas also has recovered four lost fumbles on the season.
Las Vegas Finishing 2023 Season
The Las Vegas Raiders, who won their season opener at Denver will finish the season on January 7th against the Broncos. Before that, after this game, the Raiders have two road games. The Raiders will play at the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day, and then the Indianapolis Colts on New Years Eve. The other four wins for the Raiders came over the Jets, Giants, Patriots and Packers.
Chargers Top Raiders to Start Week
What an ugly football game this should be. Neither team is clicking offensively. The team that turns the ball over the least is going to win this game. Both teams have playmakers, but with Josh Jacobs’ status in question, and both teams playing a backup quarterback, it looks like the team with more playmakers is the Los Angeles Chargers.
The combination of Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen is enough to beat the Raiders in this one. We are going to bet the Los Angeles Chargers +3 on the road at the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chargers move to 6-8 on the season, while the Raiders drop to 5-9. Best of luck with all your betting in this game, and all the Week 15 games in the National Football League! Enjoy the game!

Premier League Matchweek 12 Lines for Top Games this Weekend – 2024 EPL Odds
The latest international break has come to an end, but for the players involved, there is no time to rest, as they will all be heading back to their clubs to take part in the league games this weekend.
Leagues across Europe will all be back in business, but it is the English premier League that we will be focusing on in this piece.
English Premier League Matchday 12 Analysis
We are heading into Week 12 and things are not going totally as expected, as we have Liverpool on top, while Manchester City and Arsenal are starting to drop points.
Things are about to get crazy for the holiday season, but rather than looking further ahead, we are looking at the top games this weekend, so let’s get to it, with some predictions tossed in for good measure.
When: Saturday, November 23, 2024, 10:00 AM Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
After a couple of seasons of giving Manchester City a run for their money, the expectation was that Arsenal would once again be in a title fight. They are up there, but are starting to drop points, winning just once in their last 5 games.
The Gunners need a result this weekend, but they are not going to have an easy time of it against a Forest team that is exceeding expectations. Nottingham Forest is currently in 5th, tied on 19 points with Arsenal. They have picked up 10 points from a possible 15 in their last 5 games and will be a tough out.
When: Saturday, November 23, 2024, 10:00 AM Where: Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth, England
While Liverpool is opening up a lead at the top, things are much tighter below them, with just 3 points separating 3rd through 11th in the table. A good run of form can see a team potentially make a major move, so Bournemouth will be looking for a win that will take them into the top 10.
They have been a little up and down of late and will be in tough against a Brighton team that is in decent form and currently sitting in 6th after winning 3 of their last 5 games.
When: Saturday, November 23, 2024, 12:30 PM Where: Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
The biggest question being asked in the Premier League right now is whether or not there are cracks beginning to appear in this Manchester City team. They are currently on a run that has seen them lose 4 straight games across all competitions, which is certainly not something we have seen from this team in the Pep Guardiola era. They will be looking to bounce back against a Tottenham team that is heading in the wrong direction after losing 3 of their last 5 games.
When: Sunday, November 24, 2024, 11:30 AM Where: Portman Road, Ipswich, England
At first glance, this is certainly not the most glamorous game on the schedule this weekend, but it takes on some real significance when you learn that this will be the first game in charge for Ruben Amorim at United.
He is taking over a team that performed well under caretaker manager, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, but expect a whole new look and formation for United this weekend. Ipswich is down near the relegation zone and needs some points, but they might be up against it here against a United team looking to impress the new boss.

Saturday, November 11th at 7:30 am ET | Matchweek 12
Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, England
Before a 2-1 loss to Sheffield in their last, Wolverhampton had been playing well, upsetting Man City 2-1 on Sep 30 and beating Bournemouth 2-1 on Oct 21. Also, in their other 2 matches, Wolverhampton drew.
Tottenham had been on fire until their last, a 4-1 defeat against Chelsea at home in London. The Hotspur had bested Liverpool, Luton Town, Fulham, and Crystal Palace. Wolverhampton is more of a Crystal Palace than they are a Chelsea. Tottenham gets back on the winning track.

Arsenal vs Burnley
Premier Odds: Arsenal -2.5 +140; Burnley +2.5 -170
Saturday, November 11th at 10:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
Emirates Stadium, London, England
Burnley isn’t playing well. In their last 5, the major road underdog has gotten pasted. Premier opponents have dominated Burnley, beating the dog in this in 5 straight. Some of the losses, like the 4-1 loss to Chelsea and 3-0 defeats to Brentford and Everton were embarrassing.
But Arsenal has lost their last couple of matches versus Premier foes, 3-1 against West Ham and 1-0 against Newcastle. Both of the Gunners’ losses came on the road. Arsenal is at home for this. The payout odds make the home squad playable.
EPL Pick: Arsenal -2.5 | Bet Arsenal vs Burnley Today

Crystal Palace vs Everton
Premier Odds: Crystal Palace +143; Everton +199
Saturday, November 11th at 10:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
Selhurst Park, London, England
Crystal Palace got back on track in their last, beating Burnley 2-0. Before the win, Crystal had fallen to Newcastle and Tottenham.
CP should play well in this. However, Everton is better than many believed they’d be. The road underdog shows 3 wins, a single loss to Liverpool, and a draw in their last 5. In the last head-to-head, Crystal and Everton drew. Another draw is probable.
EPL Pick: Draw | Bet Crystal Palace vs Everton Today

Manchester United vs Luton Town

Saturday, November 11th at 10:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
Old Trafford, Manchester, England
The Red Devils show 6 wins and 5 losses in their 11 Premier League matches this season. Man U broke a 2-match losing streak, where they lost 3-0 to rivals Man City and Newcastle, in a 1-0 game against Fulham in their last.
Luton Town drew 1-1 against Liverpool in their last but LT shows terrible form before the draw. However, only a 3-1 loss to Aston on the road was by more than a goal. Luton covers.

AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United
Premier Odds: AFC Bournemouth +370; Newcastle United -155
Saturday, November 11th at 12:30 pm ET | Matchweek 12
Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth, England
Newcastle lost their last, but it was against Dortmund in a Champions League match. The road team in this has played well versus their Premier opponents, winning 6, drawing twice, and losing 3 times.
Bournemouth has 3 draws, a win, and 7 losses. Newcastle has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head matches. The two rivals drew in the other 2 games. Newcastle gets the nod.
EPL Pick: Newcastle United | Bet AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Today

Aston Villa vs Fulham
Premier Odds: Aston Villa -173; Fulham +440
Sunday, November 12th at 9:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
Villa Park, Birmingham, England
Aston Villa had been on a 3-match winning streak. But in their last, Nottingham upset the home chalk in this 2-0.
Fulham has won 2-of-5. The road dog shouldn’t hang with Aston, which has owned Fulham in the last couple of H-2-H contests. AV wins.
EPL Pick: Aston Villa | Bet Aston Villa vs Fulham Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Game
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United
Premier Odds: Brighton & Hove Albion -1.5 -145; Sheffield United +1.5 +125
Sunday, November 12th at 9:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
Amex Stadium, Falmer, England
Sheffield beat Wolverhampton 2-1 in their last to break a 4-match losing streak. The road underdog in this shouldn’t beat Brighton on the road.
Brighton, though, has a single win in their last 5 and the win came against Ajax in a Europa League match. Ajax isn’t close to the team they’ve been in the past couple of seasons. So although Brighton wins, taking a shot on the Sheffield handicap at a +125 payout makes sense.
EPL Pick: Sheffield United +1.5 | Bet Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Game
Liverpool vs Brentford
Premier Odds: Liverpool -255; Brentford +580
Sunday, November 12th at 9:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
Anfield, Liverpool, England
The Reds should win this but the odds make Liverpool unplayable. Even though this happens at Anfield, Pool shouldn’t be such a big time chalk.
Both teams are playing great. Brentford has won 3 straight over Burnley, Chelsea, and West Ham. The victory against Chelsea came at Stamford Bridge. So Brentford can carry their form on the road. Pool likely wins but we must take a shot on the +580 dog because the odds make Brentford an overlay.
EPL Pick: Brentford | Bet Liverpool vs Brentford Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Game
West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest
Premier Odds: West Ham United -113; Nottingham Forest +300
Saturday, November 12th at 9:00 am ET | Matchweek 12
London Stadium, London, England
Neither squad is in great form. West Ham beat Arsenal two matches back, but the game was an English Carabao Cup contest.
Nottingham’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa was legit. Here’s another where the odds make the road squad an overlay.
EPL Pick: Nottingham Forest | Bet West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Game
Chelsea vs Manchester City
Premier Odds: Chelsea +360; Manchester City -135
Saturday, November 12th at 11:30 am ET | Matchweek 12
Stamford Bridge, London, England
Even with their 2 losses this season, the Sky Blues are back on track. Heading into Matchweek 12, the Citizens show 27 points, a point ahead of Tottenham and 3 points ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal.
Chelsea is in decent form. The Blues take on City a game after their best performance of the season, a 4-1 road victory over Tottenham. But the Sky Blues are in cruising mode. Man City takes Matchweek 12’s top game.

NFC Showdown: Betting NFL Game Lines for 49ers vs Packers Pick
As the San Francisco 49ers travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers this Sunday, NFL game lines are set, with both teams eyeing crucial playoff positioning in this high-stakes NFC showdown.
Betting 2024 NFL Week 12 Pick for the 49ers vs Packers NFC showdown
NFL Week 12 Firestorm: 49ers vs. Packers – Who Will Reign Supreme?
2024 NFL Season | 104th season of National League in the United States
Week 12: Thursday, November 21st – Monday, November 25th, 2024
Betting 2024 San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers | Week 12 NFC showdown
Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle will be key players on offense as San Francisco tries to find more consistency in their attack.
San Francisco’s defense has been strong, but they’ve allowed too many late-game points this season.
Without Nick Bosa, the defensive line will need players like Leonard Floyd to step up.
The secondary also needs to hold up against Green Bay’s passing attack, especially if Watson builds on his strong performance.
Ball control will be essential for the 49ers.
They will look to control the clock by leaning on their running game and short passing plays.
Limiting mistakes and penalties will also be critical as they try to take down the Packers on the road.
The 49ers’ coaching staff has emphasized tightening up defensive schemes to limit big plays.
With playoff hopes on the line, San Francisco must execute cleanly in all phases of the game to stay competitive.
Key Players to Watch
Christian Watson (Packers):
Watson had a career game last week and will be a key target for Jordan Love.
His speed makes him a deep threat, and Green Bay will look to exploit mismatches in coverage.
If Watson can find open space, he could change the game with a single big play.
Brock Purdy (49ers): Purdy’s ability to manage the game and avoid turnovers will be critical for San Francisco.
He’ll need to make quick decisions against Green Bay’s pass rush.
With several weapons around him, his accuracy could determine the 49ers’ success.
Christian McCaffrey (49ers):
McCaffrey needs to deliver a strong performance to give the 49ers a balanced offense.
His versatility as a runner and receiver adds complexity to the game plan.
If he finds rhythm early, the Packers could struggle to contain him.
Brenton Cox Jr. (Packers):
Cox will look to build on his solid defensive showing from last week.
His ability to disrupt the pocket could be crucial against Purdy.
Another strong performance could establish him as a consistent playmaker for Green Bay.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers Prediction
This game will likely come down to which team can control the line of scrimmage.
Green Bay’s offensive line has been playing well, but they face a tough test against San Francisco’s defense.
On the other side, the 49ers need Brock Purdy to avoid mistakes and lead efficient drives.
While the Packers are slight favorites, San Francisco’s experience in big games gives them a chance to pull off the upset.
This should be a close game, with both teams fighting until the final whistle.
The Packers and 49ers always play competitive games, and Sunday’s matchup should be no different.
Green Bay has home-field advantage and is looking to build momentum, but San Francisco’s balanced team and strong coaching give them a shot at an upset.
Enjoy the game and good luck with your betting.
NFL ATS Pick: San Francisco +2 NFL Total Pick: Under 47.5

Previous Betting News
The Major League Soccer season is down to five teams. The matchup for the Western Conference Finals has been decided while the Philadelphia Union is still waiting to learn their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals. Let’s look at the upcoming matchups and who has the best chance to be crowned MLS champion. Let’s get right to it so you can bet against the MLS odds.
Best MLS Playoffs Games to Wager On the Week (Nov. 30th – Dec. 4th)
New England Revolution vs New York City FC
Tuesday night, the Revolution will become the final team to play its first playoff game. This year, the Revs ran away with the Eastern Conference, earning the top seed and a bye to the conference semifinals. However, they are only mild favorites against NYCFC with a +111 Moneyline, while the visitors from New York have a Moneyline of +210.
Of course, the only serious question facing New England is how the long layoff will impact Bruce Arena’s team. The Revs have two players who scored 15 or more goals in Gustavo Bou and Adam Buksa. One of the league’s rising stars in Tajon Buchanan will leave for a club in Europe in January.
However, New York City FC was one of the few teams to beat New England during the regular season, even if the Revolution won two of the three head-to-head meetings between these teams. The Pigeons also looked good when they beat Atlanta United 2-0 to reach the conference semifinals. Valentin Castellanos has been on a scoring tear late in the season, scoring seven goals in his last five games, helping him to take home the Golden Boot. He will surely give NYCFC a chance to pull off the upset on Tuesday night.
Portland Timbers vs Real Salt Lake
The Western Conference will come down to the fourth seed and the seventh seed. Real Salt Lake barely earned the final playoff spot on the last day of the regular season and continues to be heavy underdogs with a +255 Moneyline. Meanwhile, Portland is a heavy favorite at -111, even if it looked unlikely that the Timbers would host the Western Conference Finals at the start of the playoffs.
The Timbers handled Minnesota United at home to begin the postseason but traveled to beat Colorado on Thanksgiving Day. They also head to the Western Conference semifinals with the confidence of having beaten Real Salt Lake three times this season. Portland outscored Salt Lake a combined 12-4 in those three matches, including a 6-1 win the last time the Timbers hosted Salt Lake.
However, this is not the same RSL team that lost to Portland 3-1 in early November. The Royals won at Kansas City on Decision Day to qualify for the playoffs and then survived a penalty shootout against Seattle. They returned to Kansas City over the weekend, getting two goals from a pair of substitutes in the final 20 minutes to overcome a 1-0 deficit. This Real Salt Lake team has a flair for the dramatic and seems to find a way to win, making them a dangerous underdog against Portland and a dark horse to win the MLS Cup.
Virginia vs. #11 Tennessee Odds & 2024 NCAAB Expert Analysis for teams competing in the Baha Mar Hoops event
The marquee matchup around college basketball features unranked Virginia of the ACC taking No. 11 Tennessee in a neutral-site matchup in the Bahamas.
Both schools will be NCAA Tournament teams this season, and UT is a solid favorite on the NCAAB odds in the Week 3.
Opening NCAAB Lines Subject to Change: Tennessee -11 (total 127.5) Expert Prediction: Tennessee 69, Virginia 61
Virginia Cavaliers NCAAB Line +536
Virginia coach Tony Bennett shocked the sport by retiring practically on the eve of the season and the Cavs are 3-0 under new coach Ron Sanchez, who was only given the interim title for this year but certainly could earn the full-time job.
Isaac McKneely
UVA comes off a 70-60 win over Villanova last Friday as Isaac McKneely scored 23 points and made all six of his 3-point attempts. McKneely made his first six shots of the game, including four 3-pointers. McKneely also made Virginia’s 11th 3-pointer with 16:24 left in the second half to take a double-digit lead for good at 44-33. McKneely’s fifth 3-pointer rattled in with 6:26 left for a 58-45 advantage and his sixth turned into a four-point play for an 18-point lead.
It was Virginia’s first game of the season away from John Paul Jones Arena for the Cavaliers, and after a slow start they dominated their Big East opponents. UVA shot 51 percent from the field and made 14-of-25 attempts (56 percent) from deep.
Andrew Rohde
Junior guard Rohde chipped in 13 points (5-for-8 FG, three 3-pointers) after missing one game injured, while freshman forward Jacob Cofie rounded out the double-digit scorers with 12 points and six rebounds. The Cavaliers held the Wildcats to 35-percent shooting (19-of-54) and improved to 169-11 when scoring 70 or more points since 2009-10.
Ron Sanchez
“I think they played inspired basketball,” Sanchez said. “I think they’re playing for one another, and it’s great to see young men in this space just enjoying that, just being a college basketball player in that atmosphere. This is the first look at Virginia basketball for the season on the national stage since the NCAA tournament, and they performed well. I’m just happy for them. They deserve that.”
McKneely leads UVA in scoring at 16 points per game, while shooting a blistering 64.7 percent from 3-point range. Cofie leads UVA in rebounding (7.7 rpg), steals (2.0 spg) and blocks (1.7 bpg), and ranks second in scoring (13 ppg). He is the first UVA freshman to reach double figures in scoring in each of the first three games since Sylven Landesberg in 2008-09.
The Rankings
UVA ranks eighth nationally in 3-point shooting at 44.6 percent. The Cavaliers seek their ninth November tournament championship in the last 11 years (Emerald Coast Classic, Charleston Classic, Barclays Center Classic, Corpus Christi Challenge, NIT Season Tip-Off, Battle 4 Atlantis, Legends Classic and Continental Tire Main Event). UVA is 178-54 (.767) in non-conference play since 2009-10.
No. 11 Tennessee (4-0) routed Austin Peay 103-68 on Sunday. The Vols held a 64-22 advantage for points in the paint and outrebounded the Governors 43-25. UT’s 21-2 run early in the first half set the tone for the rest of the game. Austin Peay cut Tennessee’s lead to as few as 14 points after Tekao Carpenter’s second-straight three-pointer with nine minutes remaining, but went 3-for-11 from the field in the final eight minutes.
The Vols shot a remarkable 63.8 percent, tied for its fifth-best mark of the last 20 seasons in the decisive victory and got a game-high 23 points from senior forward Miličić Jr., who paced the team in scoring for the second straight outing. Miličić amassed his season-best point total on an 11-of-14 shooting to tie his career high in makes, co-led all players with nine rebounds and dished out four assists, one shy of his career best, plus blocked two shots. He finished plus-42 during his 30 minutes of action.
Zakai Zeigler
Zeigler was plus-43 in his 31 minutes and native totaled 19 points, a game-best eight assists, three rebounds, a block and a steal, becoming the first Volunteer with that line in over 13 years. Zeigler, who shot 7-of-8 overall with a 3-of-4 clip from deep, also became the fifth player in program history to reach 500 career assists.
Joran Gainey
Gainey contributed 15 points, 11 of which came in the second half, while finishing 4-of-7 from the field and 6-of-8 at the line. Cade Phillips scored 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting and grabbed a co-game-best nine rebounds, setting a career high in each category. Felix Okpara posted 12 points on a 6-of-10 ledger, seven rebounds and a game-high three blocks, and Jahmai Mashack scored 10 points, aided by an 8-of-10 free-throw mark that gave him career bests in both areas.
For Tennessee, it marked the first time in nearly two years that six players scored in double figures, dating to Dec. 4, 2022, as well as the first time since Feb. 1, 2022, it had five players with at least 12 points. The Volunteers had a dominant 64-22 margin in paint points, a 34-13 ledger in bench scoring and a 27-6 cushion in fast-break points.
Rick Barnes
Coach Barnes’ team posted 10 blocks, the first time it has reached double figures since the 2021 SEC Tournament, as well as 10 steals. Meanwhile, the 103 points tied for the second-most during his illustrious 10-year tenure in Knoxville. The Volunteers have now reached triple digits seven times during Barnes’ tenure, including five times at home, with 103 matching their second-highest total during his 10 seasons. Through four contests this season, Tennessee has trailed for a total of just 94 seconds and led for a total of 155:32. The Vols lead the nation with a 58.1 percent field-goal clip. They have shot over 53.0 percent in each of the last seven halves, including surpassing 57.0 percent in each of the past four, with a mark over 63.0 twice.
As for this game, Tennessee owns a 7-2 all-time record in the Bahamas, with each game coming in the Battle 4 Atlantis. It went 2-1 in 2013 (fifth place), 2-1 in 2017 (third) and 3-0 in 2022 (champion). The Volunteers, who beat third-ranked Kansas to claim that 2022 title, have won four in a row in the Bahamas. In Barnes’ tenure, UT is 10-10 in its eight multi-team event (MTE) appearances. That includes a 7-5 record outside the continental United States.
The Cavaliers own an 8-5 advantage over the Volunteers in the all-time series that dates back to 1917. After starting 1-4 against Virginia, Tennessee is 4-4 in its last eight games. UT defeated Virginia 87-52 in the last meeting between the teams at Thompson-Boling Arena on Dec. 30, 2013, in Knoxville. This is the fifth neutral site at which the two sides have met, joining Atlanta (loss in 1981), Indianapolis (loss in 1982), East Rutherford (loss in 2000) and Columbus (win in 2007). The 1981, 1982 and 2007 games were all in the NCAA Tournament, as Virginia is one of three schools Tennessee has faced thrice in the event.
Could the ACC become the second conference to ever send three teams to the Final Four? Very possible with five schools still standing. One of those is No. 4 Florida State, but the Seminoles are March Madness odds underdogs on Thursday’s Sweet 16 matchup vs. Gonzaga.
Sweet 16 Bracket: Printable March Madness Bracket 2019
How to Bet Florida State vs Gonzaga NCAA Basketball Odds & Game Info
Stream on Reddit: Live and available Thursday, 6:10 PM ET
March Madness Odds: Gonzaga -7.5 (Total 147)
Last Meeting
These schools met in last year’s Sweet 16 as well and No. 9 Florida State thumped No. 4 Gonzaga 75-60 behind 18 points from Terance Mann, who is a key contributor this year as well. Mann was the only double-digit scorer for the Seminoles, but five FSU players contributed at least seven points apiece. The Seminoles jumped to a 13-point lead early in the second half and never let their margin dip below four.
FSU reached the Elite Eight for the first time since 1993 but would lose that game. Rui Hachimura scored 16 points and Zach Norvell Jr. added 14 for the Zags. Already playing without injured forward Killian Tillie, the Zags struggled when forwards Johnathan Williams and Hachimura got into early foul trouble.
Why Bet on FSU?
The Noles had some trouble with No. 13 Vermont in the first round but not in a 90-62 rout of Murray State in Round 2. With Seminoles forward Phil Cofer watching from the bench just two days after his father died, the Seminoles made good on a vow to honor their teammate and his family with their play. FSU came into the game shooting 33.4 percent from 3 — 223rd in the nation — and then hit eight of their first 11 from behind the arc.
Florida State dominated the Racers from the perimeter (11-of-27 3-point shooting), in the paint (19 dunks or layups) and on the glass (45-33 rebounding advantage). It all added up to Florida State’s most lopsided victory in more than four months. Mfiondo Kabengele recently named the ACC’s sixth man of the year, had 22 points and seven rebounds.
Cofer, who averages 7.4 points and started 19 games for the Seminoles this year, was notified of his father’s passing immediately after Florida State’s first-round win over Vermont. Cofer missed the game due to an injured right foot as well as in Round 2. He’s not expected to play here, either. Cofer was FSU’s leading scorer last season.
It’s FSU’s second Sweet 16 appearance in as many years, sixth in school history and just the second time ever that the Seminoles have made it to the tournament’s second weekend in back-to-back seasons. The last time they did it, in 1992 and 93, the likes of Charlie Ward and Sam Cassell were patrolling the floor.
The Seminoles have won 16 of their last 18 games dating back to January 22 and have victories over four ranked teams in that span that includes knocking off the No. 1 team at the time in Virginia and getting three overtime wins, including two against Virginia Tech in a 10-day period.
Why Bet on Gonzaga?
Gonzaga has barely broken a sweat in wins over No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson and No. 9 Baylor. It was 83-71 over the Bears on Saturday. Gonzaga’s 19-point lead had dwindled to five early in the second half after a Baylor surge. Brandon Clarke delivered the Zags’ next six points, one on a tough 10-footer as the shot clock was expiring, another on a putback jam and a pair of free throws rewarding Clarke’s hard drive to the rim. GU led 49-38. The Bears could get no closer than eight the rest of the way.
Clarke finished with five monster dunks, five blocks, and matched a career-high with 36 points. He was 15-for-18 from the field. Clarke also had eight rebounds and two steals. He lifted his season blocks total to 110 — now good for best in the nation. Clarke broke Adam Morrison’s school record of 35 points in tournament play – against Xavier in 2006 across town at the Huntsman Center – and became just the third college player to reach 35 points and five blocks in an NCAA game. Shaquille O’Neal and David Robinson were the other two.
Zach Norvell Jr. turned in another solid defensive effort against a quality opposing guard. Norvell chased around Makai Mason’s, Baylor’s leading scorer, and limited the senior to 5-of-16 shooting, including 2 of 7 beyond the arc.
Coach Mark Few actually called Corey Kispert the Zags’ MVP vs. Baylor. The second-year wing hadn’t been GU’s second-leading scorer in a game all season, but he stepped up to make six shots total – four from 3-point range – to finish with 16 points. That was second to Clarke’s 36, and it matched the second-best game of the season for Kispert, who scored 17 points in a nonconference blowout of North Dakota State. The 35 minutes were also the second most Kispert played in a game this season, next to his 37 minutes against Tennessee.
It’s the fifth straight Sweet 16 trip for Gonzaga. The Zags own the longest active Sweet 16 streak in the country. The closest comparable runs – three in a row – belong to Kentucky, Michigan, and Purdue. Moreover, there are only 11 other streaks in tournament history as long or longer, though all but three come with asterisks, falling as they do before the bracket reached 64 teams.

Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC will host Rhode Island FC at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs on Saturday, November 23, at 12 p.m. ET.
The game will be broadcast live on CBS, TUDN, and SiriusXM FC.
Both teams earned their spots in the final with good performances in their conference finals.
For Colorado Springs, this marks the end of a historic season where they secured their first-ever berth in the Championship Final.
Rhode Island, on the other hand, has exceeded all expectations in their debut season, becoming the first expansion team in nearly a decade to reach this stage.
With both teams ready to rock and roll, let’s dive into who we think might win the Final.
Writer’s USL Championship Final Pick
Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC: Western Conference Champions
Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC reached the Championship Final for the first time in their history after a big playoff run.
The Switchbacks, seeded second in the Western Conference, secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with their best-ever regular season finish.
They tallied 52 points during the season, cementing their status as contenders.
In the playoffs, the Switchbacks defeated Oakland Roots SC 2-0 in the quarterfinals and advanced past Orange County SC 2-1 in a dramatic extra-time semifinal.
Last Saturday, they edged Las Vegas Lights FC 1-0 in front of a sellout crowd of 8,023 at Weidner Field.
Panamanian forward Juan Tejada scored the decisive goal in the first half, and goalkeeper Christian Herrera secured the shutout with four critical saves.
The win secured the Switchbacks their first Western Conference title.
Home-field advantage continues to be a key factor for the Switchbacks, who have been perfect at Weidner Field during the postseason.
Rhode Island FC: Eastern Conference Champions
Rhode Island FC has made history by becoming the first expansion team since 2016 to reach the USL Championship Final in its debut season.
Seeded fifth in the Eastern Conference, Rhode Island’s playoff run has been nothing short of spectacular, with three consecutive road victories against higher-seeded opponents.
After a commanding 3-0 win over Louisville City FC in the quarterfinals, Rhode Island eliminated top teams like the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Charleston Battery.
In the Eastern Conference Final, they claimed a 2-1 victory over the Battery before 5,087 fans at Patriots Point.
Goals from Zach Herivaux and Noah Fuson led the way, with Herivaux capitalizing on a flicked pass just before halftime and Fuson adding a strike in the second half.
A stunning 35-yard free kick by Charleston’s Juan David Torres cut the lead, but Rhode Island’s defense held strong to secure the win.
USL Championship Final Prediction and Pick
With home-field advantage and a great postseason record, the Switchbacks have the edge in this final.
Rhode Island’s defensive strength will keep the game competitive, but Colorado Springs’ experience and home support should give them the edge and the win.
USL Pick: Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC Score: 2-1
2020 USL Championship Final Expert Analysis – Soccer Betting
Previous Betting News
Okay MyBookie soccer betting nation, with the 2020 USL Championship final set for Monday, Nov. 1, it’s time to find out whether the Tampa Bay Rowdies or Phoenix Rising will come out on top when they brawl for it all. With both championship hopeful teams going all-out for the win, let’s find out which one is offering the best value against their USL odds.
2020 USL Championship Final | Soccer Betting Analysis
Tampa Bay Rowdies (10-3-3) Vs Phoenix Rising (11-2-3)
When: Monday, Nov. 1, 2020 at 7:30 PM ET
Where: Al Lang Stadium
Tampa Bay finished the regular season atop the group H standings with 33 points. The Rowdies scored 25 goals while limiting the opposition to a league-low 11 goals. Tampa Bay advanced to their first USL Championship Final since joining the league in 2017 by getting past Louisville City FC 2-1 on Saturday as Zach Steinberger and Sebastian Guenzatti scoed first half goals.
Phoenix finished atop the group B standings with 35 points. The Rising scored a league-high 46 goals while allowing just 17 goals defensively. Phoenix claimed its second trip to the USL Championship Final in the past three seasons by getting past El Paso 4-2 in a penalty shootout after their 1-1- finish in regulation time. The Rising have seen each of its three games this postseason go to extra time. Now, Phoenix wants to win it all after falling to Louisville City in the 2018 championship.
“Unless you’ve lost a final, you don’t know how bad that hurts,” goalie Zac Lubin said. “We prepared and did everything we could in 2018 and still came up short. The momentum we have is great but that’s not what is going to get us the win.”
Prediction
Phoenix would have hosted this championship affair but they lost that opportunity because of forward Junior Flemmings hurled a homophobic slur that was directed at San Diego Loyal midfielder Collin Martin.
Still, Phoenix has the most dangerous offense in the USL and they’re going to be hard to beat in this affair. No matter, I like Tampa Bay to get the huge upset win, seeing as how they have lost only once at home this season and have the league’s best defense. The Rising have struggled throughout the postseason and just hasn’t been as explosive as they were doing to the regular season as things have tightened up at both ends of the pitch.
Tampa Bay has won three straight and four of five and their conference final win over an elite Louisville team has me convinced the Rowdies will get the season-ending win in the 2020 USL Championship final!
Pistons at Hornets Odds, Analysis & Score Prediction – 2024 NBA Week 5 Lines
The lone NBA nationally televised game features two very improved teams from last season who might actually compete for a play-in spot in the East as the Detroit Pistons visit Charlotte.
The Hornets are home short favorites on the NBA odds in Week 5.
Opening Lines Subject to Change: Charlotte -1 (total 222) Expert Prediction: Hornets 112, Pistons 110
Detroit Pistons -120
The Pistons had a two-game winning streak snapped in a 122-112 home loss to Chicago on Monday. A win today would have put Detroit at .500 16 games into the season for the first time since 2018-19 (9-7). It would also have been the team’s first-three-game winning streak since March 31 – April 3, 2022.
Detroit kept the game close for the first 40 minutes, but lost too many Bulls shooters on the perimeter. Chicago shot 23-46 (50%) on 3-pointers, including 7-15 (47%) in the fourth quarter. The Pistons had 16 offensive rebounds to Chicago’s 10 and only committed nine turnovers, but they only hit 34% of their 3-pointers while the Bulls were making half of theirs.
Cade Cunningham
Cunningham led Detroit per usual with 26 points, 10 assists and six rebounds – he has now handed out 10 or more in four consecutive appearances. Cunningham has fourth straight double-doubles and has scored at least 20 points in all but three games this season. He is one of four players in the NBA averaging at least 20.0 PTS, 8.0 AST and 7.0 REB along with Nikola Jokic, James Harden and LeBron James.
Jalen Duren
Duren dominated the boards with 22 rebounds (one shy of career high) along with 15 points. It was Duren’s second straight double-double and 12 of those rebounds were offensively. Those were the most offensive boards by a Piston since Andre Drummond in 2015, tied for the 5th-most in franchise history, and the most total rebounds by any player in the NBA this season. Duren is 12th in the league in rebounds per game at 10.5, but he has only played 25 minutes per game, which is a lower number than everyone ranked in front of him.
Malik Beasley
Beasley provided a boost off the bench with 21 points and four rebounds. Tim Hardaway Jr. returned to the lineup after missing the last three games injured, which pushed Beasley back to the bench. However, that didn’t put an end to his hot shooting run. Beasley has now scored at least 20 points in five straight games and in six of their last seven. Hardaway struggled with two points on 1-for-10 shooting.
Thursday could be the season debut of Pistons forward Ausar Thompson, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Thompson has been sidelined since March while dealing with blood clots but has been cleared by the NBA’s fitness-to-play panel. Thompson joined the G League’s Motor City Cruise on Tuesday to get in some practice time but was recalled by Detroit on Wednesday. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that the team doesn’t want to play Thompson in a game until he’s completely comfortable so perhaps it won’t be Thursday quite yet.
Detroit’s defensive rating of 111.4 is ninth-best in the NBA. It is the Pistons’ best defensive showing since turning in a 108.7 rating in 2018-19, and they have ranked in the bottom-11 in the NBA in each of the past five seasons. They have held opponents under 110 points eight times, under 105 six times and under 100 three times this season.
Charlotte lost for the fourth time in five games Tuesday, 116-115 in Brooklyn. Ahead by three points with two minutes remaining, Brooklyn’s Trendon Watford drove the lane for a layup and extended the lead to 111-108. On the play, Watford made contact with Tre Mann’s face. A relay review took the basket away and there was a ruling of a defensive foul. Watford made both free throws. The Hornets’ Brandon Miller missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game with 1.1 seconds left. Grant Williams then tipped the ball as time expired.
Brandon Miller
Miller was terrific otherwise, shooting 11-of-17 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line to finish with 29 points. The point total was the highest for him since November 8, when he scored 29 in a win over the Pacers. Miles Bridges chipped in 21 points. After shooting 11-of-35 from the field and scoring 14 points or less in each of his first three games of November, Bridges has upped his production. He’s scored 19 or more in four straight, surpassing the 20-point mark for the third time this season on Tuesday.
Tre Mann
Mann was in some question with an injury but finished with 19 points and six assists. After scoring 23 points in a November 1 loss to the Celtics, Mann went six straight games with 14 or fewer before Tuesday’s bounce-back effort. Grant Williams was terrific with 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Charlotte’s net rating improves by 16.7 points with him on the court, a mark that ranks in the 94th percentile leaguewide.
LaMelo Ball
However, star Ball struggled a bit, finishing with a season-low 12 points on 3-of-13 shooting, five assists and four turnovers. He also sat the final 3:48. However, Ball is one of seven qualified players this season to average 25.0 PPG and 5.0 APG. He leads the NBA in fourth quarter PPG (10.3). He has made a 3-pointer in 33 straight games, the second-longest streak of his career (franchise-record 53, March 11, 2022 – Oct. 27, 2023).
For the third time in five games Tuesday, the Hornets established a new season high for turnovers, this time coughing it up 23 times for 24 Brooklyn points. Charlotte had its second-best field-goal percentage of the season (46.3%), but didn’t get enough shots. The Hornets did hit 20-of-37 3-point attempts, good for a season-best percentage (54.1%; previous 44.4%). It’s the fourth time in franchise history that the team has notched consecutive games with 20-or-more 3-pointers and first time since March 11-14, 2022.
Charlotte is third in the NBA in second chance points (17.3) and second in second chance points allowed (12.5). It is the only team in the league to rank in the top five in both categories.
Thursday marks the second of four meetings between the clubs. On Nov. 6 also in Charlotte, the Hornets won 108-107 as Brandon Miller scored off an offensive rebound at the buzzer. Miles Bridges had 27 points and LaMelo Ball added 25 points on five 3-pointers for the Hornets. Miller finished with 19 points. Cade Cunningham had a triple-double for Detroit with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Jaden Ivey added 21 points for the Pistons.

2018 Pistons vs Hornets
In the Eastern Conference, we are finally starting to see some separation at the top, with 5 teams starting to pull away from the pack. They are still close enough that the teams sitting below them can keep the pace, which is what the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets will be looking to do on Friday night. The Pistons are 7 games out of the lead, while the Hornets are a half-game behind their Friday night opponent.
This is a match-up that the Hornets have had the best of in the last couple of season, winning 4 straight against the Pistons, including both previous meetings this season. With that in mind, it’s probably no real surprise that Charlotte is in as a 4 ½ point favorite for this one, with the point total set at 218 ½.

Away: Detroit Pistons 5-7 / Charlotte Hornets 4-8
ATS: Detroit Pistons 15-13-1 / Charlotte Hornets 16-14
Over/Under: Detroit Pistons 14-15 / Charlotte Hornets 16-14
Why bet on the Detroit Pistons?
The Pistons were able to break out of a 6-game losing skid last week and are now on a run where they have won 2 of their last 3 games. Where the Pistons have been good of late is against the spread, as they have now covered in each of their last 4 games.
As the underdog this season, they have gone 10-6-1 ATS, and are 6-3 ATS when installed as the road underdog. Over the last 10 games, it has been the UNDER that has been the most common outcome for the Pistons, with no less than 10 of their games going that direction. While not great, their road record certainly isn’t terrible at 5-7 SU.

Total Score: 110.31
Field Goal Percentage: 46.28
Three-Point Percentage: 31.73
Free Throw Percentage: 78.31
Total Rebounds: 44.59
Why bet on the Charlotte Hornets?
As we mentioned earlier, the Hornets have already taken a pair of games from the Pistons this season, although the last one played in Charlotte saw them separated by just a single point. The Hornets have had a problem maintaining any level of consistency, going through small winning streaks before succumbing to short losing streaks.
That has led them to a 5-5 record over their last 10 games and made it tough for them to move up in the conference. Covering the spread has not been something that Charlotte has done very often of late, covering just 3 times in their last 10 games. They are 6-8 ATS when in as a home favorite and have seen 7 of their last 10 games go OVER.

Latest Pistons vs Hornets NBA Betting Trends
Detroit is 3-5-1 ATS in its last 9 games
Detroit is 2-7 SU in its last 9 games
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Detroit’s last 11 games
Charlotte is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games
Charlotte is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Charlotte’s last 7 games
Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction
It’s tough to bet against Charlotte given the recent success that they have had against the Detroit Pistons, which is why I am on them to win again on Friday night. I also like them to cover, and I think we will see the total slip OVER.
Score: Detroit Pistons 108 – Charlotte Hornets 114

Writer’s Picks on the Top Skates Happenning this Weekend
Grade 3 Commonwealth Turf Stakes
1 1/16 miles turf – 3 year olds
Saturday, November 23rd, 2024
Churchill Downs | Del Mar Thoroughbred Club
Nine will run in the Grade 3 Commonwealth Turf Stakes.
Steve Asmussen, Helen Pitts, and Mike Maker project to saddle the favorites.
Asmussen puts the bridle on Lagynos, fifth last out in the Grade 3 Bryan Station Stakes.
Pitts goes with third place Bryan Stakes winner Herchee and Mike Maker saddles Evade, which finished fourth in the Bryan Station.
Others with potential include Dashman, a Brian Lynch trained runner that finished fourth in the Grade 3 Jockey Club Derby and Hawthorne Derby winner Ak Sar Ben Derby.
If My Boy Prince bounces back from the ninth in the Bryan Station, the Mark Casse trainer is another that could run into the winner’s circle.
Grade 3 Chilukki Stakes
1 mile dirt – 3 year old fillies and up
Saturday, November 23rd, 2024
Churchill Downs
Eight will go in the Chilukki. All eight are in decent form.
Third place Grade 3 Princess Rooney finisher Imonra breaks from post position 1.
Saffie Joseph trains, which means Imonra is well meant.
Pigalle finished fourth in the Grade 2 Locust Grove.
Taxed finished fifth in the same race.
Philip Bauer trained Two Sharp won an allowance at Keeneland in the last.
Royal Spa’s last race was a second at Keeneland.
Other contenders include Oeuvre, Positano Sunset, and Fancy.
Grade 3 Native Diver Stakes
1 1/8 miles dirt – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 23rd, 2024
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club
Pacific Classic winner Mixto returns to the track that propelled him to a start in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Mixto finished a disappointing eleventh in the Classic.
A return to Del Mar’s dirt could brighten the Doug O’Neill trained and Good Magic sired runner.
Skinner, trained by John Shirreffs, had a nice tune up for the Native Diver when finishing second in an allowance at Santa Anita on October 26.
Skinner could be ready to fire a decent shot on Saturday.
Bob Baffert saddles three: Imagination, Mirahmadi, and Ultra Power.
All three have a shot to win.
Mirahmadi, named after Frank Mirahmadi, might be the best of the three.
The last out maiden winner has the look of a nice runner.
Ed Moger Jr. trained Tarantino should also run.
Grade 3 Red Carpet
1 3/8 miles turf – 3 year olds and up
Sunday, November 24th, 2024
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club
Ten could break form the gate in the Grade 3 Red Carpet.
Only two of the ten ran in a graded stakes in the last.
Mouffy comes off a fourth in the Grade 2 Goldikova.
Top turf trainer Jonathan Thomas puts the saddle on Mouffy, which means the likely chalk is going to be tough to beat.
Thomas’s other equine in this, Mrs. Astor, also has a shot.
Mrs. Astor finished third in the Grade 3 Dowager.
Building tickets around Mrs. Astor, Mouffy, or both seems like the best strategy because neither of Graham Motions runners, Marksman Queen or Three Priests, showed decent form in their last race.
If you’re looking for a potential upsetter, consider Doug O’Neil trained Ima Joker.
She won an allowance at Santa Anita in her last.
O’Neill is a master at moving allowance winners into graded races with success.
Control Function, Maihana, Mizzyaan, and Moment’s Pleasure all have chance to hit the board.
Use them underneath.

Graded stakes races slow down a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving in the United States, which is why at Aqueduct on Saturday two non-graded stakes happen.

Writer’s Picks on the Top Skates Happenning this Weekend
Notebook Stakes
6 furlongs dirt – 2 year olds
Saturday, November 16th
Aqueduct Racetrack
Often the winner of the Notebook is a lower level 2 year old with a ceiling in non-graded stakes races.
That has occurred the past couple of years with Works for Me beating Detective Tom and Aggelos the Great in 2023 and Acoustic Ave beating Don’t Lose Cruz and Starquist in 2024.
Linda Rice, Todd Pletcher, and maybe even Chad Brown should enter runners.
Since entries don’t happen until Thursday, were not sure which 2 year olds will run in the Notebook.
Central Park Stakes
1 mile turf – 2 year olds
Saturday, November 16th
Aqueduct Racetrack
The Central Park Stakes because it is on grass is regarded as a higher non-graded stake than the Notebook.
Plenty of talent promises to break from the gate in this Saturday’s Central Park.
Rudy Rodriguez plans on running McDiesel.
Davy Crockett will go for Cristophe Clement and George Weaver plans on running Super Swift and Not For Hire.
Todd Pletcher will saddle Manhattan Twist.
The favorite could end up Chad Brown trained Early Adopter.
Grade 2 Autumn Stakes
1 1/8 miles synthetic – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 16th
Woodbine Racetrack
Connections for the top two finishers in the Ontario Derby plan on running their horses.
Lorne Richards trained Dresden Row beat Bail Us Out from the Kevin Attard barn.
Dresden Row and Bail Us Out drew post positions 11 and 10.
Attard has another runner in Never Surprised.
Mark Casse saddles Paramount Prince, which will attract action.
Sir London goes for Graham Motion and deserves respect after finishing third in an allowance at Laurel in the last.
Grade 2 Kennedy Road Stakes
6 furlongs synthetic – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 16th
Woodbine Racetrack
Ice Chocolat has finished second in the last two runnings of the Kennedy Road Stakes.
There is no indication Ice Chocolat will run in the 2024 Kennedy Road.
But Ice Chocolat is a 6-year-gelding and, therefore, can’t breed, which means running Chocolat for a third try makes sense.
If Ice Chocolat goes, the gelding is a contender.
2023 winner Flag of Honour is also active.
So is 2023 third place finisher Dream Shake.
If all three go, expect a great race.
Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes
7 furlongs dirt – 2 year olds
Sunday, November 17
Woodbine Racetrack
Bob Baffert plans on saddling three: Madaket Road, Kalea Bay, and Emerald Bay.
McKinzie Street goes for Tim Yakteen and might be the biggest threat to the Baffert trio.
Give Mike McCarthy trained Bullard and Dr.
Ruben M from the Doug O’Neill barn big chances.
Both 2 year olds come off decent maiden victories and McCarthy and O’Neill are terrific at readying horses for stakes action after breaking the maiden.

The top events happen at the Big A starting on Friday when the Duct runs the Grade 3 Pebbles.
Then on Saturday, Aqueduct runs the Grade 3 Hill Prince and the Grade 2 Red Smith.

Writer’s Picks on the Top Skates Happenning this Weekend
Grade 3 Pebbles Stakes
1 mile turf – 3 year old fillies
Friday, November 8th
Aqueduct Racetrack
Chad Brown, who trained Sierra Leone to an upset win in this past Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic, has a strong hand.
Brown saddles Dea Matrona and puts jockey Irad Oritz on her back.
Chad also plans on running Oversubscribed, which should find the going easier than she did in the Queen Elizabeth II.
Cristophe Clement has a contender in See You Around.
Whiskey Decision and Macanga from the Richard Dutrow barn can get it done.
If you’re looking for a horse that should offer overlay odds with a shot, give Save Us Melania a chance.
Grade 3 Hill Prince Stakes
1 1/8 miles turf – 3 year old colts
Saturday, November 9th
Aqueduct Racetrack
Seven participants should run in the Grade 3 Hill Prince.
Although only seven will break from the gate, the race should be competitive.
Chad Brown boasts two contenders in Right to Vote and Main Beach.
Bill Mott trained Royal Majesty finished second in the Gio Ponti Stakes in the last.
Cugino goes for Claude McGaughey and John Servis saddles Bartlett.
Deterministic is the likely chalk after finished second in the Grade 3 Jockey Club Derby in the last.
Grade 2 Red Smith Stakes
1 3/8 miles turf – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 9th
Aqueduct Racetrack
Brown trained turf specialist Adhamo returns to the races after a disappointing tenth in this past summer’s Grade 2 United Nations.
The field at the Red Smith isn’t nearly as tough as what Adhamo faced in the United Nations.
Cristophe Clement will run City Man and Richard Dutrow goes with Pioneering Spirit.
Dutrow’s top contender should be Master Piece.
The favorite, though, is likely to be Integration.
McGaughey puts the saddle on Integration.
Shug will also enter Limited Liability.
Longshot players should consider backing Curbstone.
The Thomas Morley trained runner will save ground after breaking from post position 1.
Also, John Velasquez rides.
Grade 3 River City Stakes
1 1/8 miles turf – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 9th
Churchill Downs
Emmanuel could be sitting on a top effort.
The Mike Maker trained runner sired by More Than Ready finished fourth in the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic in the last.
There’s a chasm between Grade 1 and Grade 3 races.
So Emmanuel should be tough to beat.
Hades from the Joe Orseno barn and Reckoning Force both have chances.
Horseplayers should keep an eye on the action that lands on a couple of allowance winners: Joe Sharp trained Wonderful Justice and Shug McGaughey trained Battle of Normandy.
If either steps it up, they can win this.
Grade 3 Long Island Stakes
1 3/8 miles turf – 3 year old and 4 year old fillies and up
Sunday, November 10th
Aqueduct Racetrack
Sunday’s Grade 3 Long Island will attract at least nine entrants.
Christophe Clement could walk into the winner’s circle after the race.
Clement saddles Grade 3 Waya winner Le Mehana and fourth place finisher Avenue Niel.
Bill Mott puts the saddle on the Waya second place finisher, Immensitude.
Forever After All and No Show Sammy Joe are both contenders.
Forever After All finished second in the Grade 3 Dowager in the last.
No Show Sammy Joe won the non-graded All Along Stakes.
No Show Sammy Joe trainer Graham Motion also plans on entering Marksman Queen.
If Marksman Queen can bounce back from an eighth place finish in the Latonia Stakes, she could be tough to keep out of the trifecta.

Top Stakes Races Second Week of November: Saturday, November 11th – Sunday, November 12th, 2023
River City Stakes | Grade 3
1 3/8 miles turf – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 11th, 2023
Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky
The Grade 3 River City should boast one of the most competitive graded race fields of the meet. George Arnold trained Cellist finished second in the Grade 3 Sycamore in the last.
Cellist will attract action, but Grade 3 Singspiel Stakes second place finisher Rockemperor is likely to go off the chalk. Rockemperor hails from the Chad Brown barn.
The 7-year-old gelding appears to be rounding back into his best form. Red Run, Smokin T, Grand Sonata, F Five, and Siege of Boston will also attract betting dollars.
1 mile turf – 3 year olds
Saturday, November 11th, 2023
Belmont Park, Elmont, New York
Only four right now project to run in the Grade 3 Pebbles. For sure, more will step into the starting gate, but right now, just four have committed.
Among the four, Chad Brown trained Implicated could be difficult to beat. However, Implicated likely won’t go off the chalk. Unless horses in excellent form enter, Cristophe Clement trained Silver Skillet, second in the Ticonderoga Stakes in the last, projects as the chalk.
Sacred Wish from the George Weaver barn should also break from the gate. Brown plans on entering Startup Mentality, which broke the maiden at first asking and appears to have a lot of talent.
1 3/8 miles – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 11th, 2023
Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens, New York
Chad Brown trained Francesco Clemente put it all together in the last race. This might be the perfect event to back the Brown runner because if Francesco Clemente wins, the Dubawi sired runner will never again offer decent odds.
Soldier Rising, the Clement trainee, is likely to break from the gate the favorite. The Frankel sired 5-year-old gelding finished second in the Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic in the last.
Chad Brown’s second runner in this, Faraday, will garner interest. Ghostzapper sired the 3-year-old gelding. Faraday is on a 2-race win streak after scoring victories in allowances at Saratoga and at Kentucky Downs. Brown could have a legit graded stakes horse on his hands.
Marwad, Limited Liability, and So Hard should also run. There’s a chance all three offer overlay odds.
1 3/8 miles turf – 3 year old fillies and up
Sunday, November 12th, 2023
Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens, New York
Like is often the case for graded turf stakes at Aqueduct, Chad Brown and Cristophe Clement will saddle runners in the Grade 3 Long Island. So far, Brown has said he will put the saddle on Dubawi sired Idea Generation.
The 3 year old filly finished second in the Grade 3 Waya in the last. Idea Generation could end up going off the favorite.
Clement will try to beat Chad’s runner with Amazing Grace, Atomic Blonde, and Avenue Niel. Among the three, Avenue Niel is in the best form after finishing third in an allowance at Aqueduct on October 19.
Brendan Walsh claimed R Calli Kim and bumps her up and into a graded event. If the Walsh runner steps it up, R Calli could produce a decent win payout.
