NFL Calendar 2021/22 Betting Season

2021/22 NFL Season

The 2021 NFL season comes with 18 weeks and 272 games and kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 9, at Tampa Bay. The season concludes with 16 divisional games in Week 18: two on Saturday, Jan. 8 and 14 on Sunday, Jan. 9.

The 102nd NFL season kicks off with the traditional special kickoff game on Thursday, September 9. The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Dallas Cowboys at Raymond James Stadium.

The 2021 NFL schedule will have each team playing 17 regular season games. The change this season is only three preseason games, giving them an extra week of regular-season action. That marks the first change in the season structure since the 1978 campaign in a long-standing custom of 16 regular-season games and four preseason games.

The 17th game will feature teams from opposing conferences that finished in the same position in their respective divisions the previous season. It was determined that AFC teams will be home for that 17th game in 2021.

Broncos at Ravens: NFL Week 9 Odds, Expert Picks & Score Prediction – 2024 Season

NFL Game Odds: Broncos at Ravens | Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix was just named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for October.

Nix joins Anderson and Portis as the only Broncos franchise players to earn this award. Drafted in April, he threw for 870 yards and seven touchdowns with a 102.7 quarterback rating and 66.7% pass completion rate in four October games, showing a smooth transition to the pro game.

He led all rookie quarterbacks in pass TD:INT ratio (7:1), passing touchdowns (7), passing yards and rushing touchdowns (2).

A rookie quarterback with a 3-1 record shares the lead in wins. The Broncos, 5-3, have a strong defense. The addition of John Franklin-Myers helped Zach Allen on the defensive line.

A dozen Broncos have at least a half-sack so far, and their pass-rush win rate (55.8%) leads the NFL.

They visit a Baltimore team looking to bounce back from a tough loss to Cleveland in Week 8.

Can they hang with a Ravens team that has routed the Buffalo Bills – and lost to the Las Vegas Raiders? Read on to get our sports betting perspective.

Denver Broncos +310

Nix was in fine form against Carolina last week – although, to be fair, just about everyone has been in fine form against the Panthers. Nix threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns, running for another score. The Broncos’ defense picked off the Carolina quarterback twice and sacked him twice as well. The Broncos were sloppy with the ball, as the wide receiving group lost two fumbles, leading to both of the Carolina touchdowns.

In between those drives, though, the Bronco D held the Panthers without a score on nine straight possessions. The Broncos are working their way through a rebuild under coach Sean Payton, but Nix’s progress may mean that the rebuild takes less time than the team had anticipated.

Denver’s running game has improved, averaging 121.4 yards per game. Javonte Williams leads with 345 yards, half gained in the last two weeks. The team has surprised by winning their last two games as underdogs expected to lose by over a touchdown.

They also have covered the spread in four straight road games. While some teams from the western half of the country struggle when they play in the early slot on the East Coast, the Broncos have scored the first touchdown in three straight games in the Eastern Time Zone. Bo Nix also has multiple touchdown passes in three straight Sunday games and at least 206 passing yards in five of the team’s last six Sunday games.

^
 

Baltimore Ravens -410

The Baltimore Ravens have had a hard time finishing games, and Sunday’s shocker in Cleveland was no exception. Jameis Winston, who had been the Browns’ third-string quarterback, got the start as Deshaun Watson (Achilles) is done for the season, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson went down to injury last week. Winston threw for three touchdowns, including a 38-yard strike to Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds left in regulation.

In a close game, the Ravens fell short of a touchdown in the final moments against Cleveland. Lamar Jackson’s efforts were not enough to secure a win, ending their five-game winning streak. Despite a strong performance from Jackson and Derrick Henry, the defense struggled to make crucial stops.

Even with the loss, Baltimore is still scoring 30.3 points per game and picking up 200.0 yards on the ground and 252.1 yards through the air each week. Derrick Henry has already picked up 946 yards through only eight weeks. The defense has been a bit leaky, giving up 26.1 points per game. Can the Ravens’ offense overcome a pesky and talented Denver defense – enough to win by double digits?

The Ravens struggle to finish games, especially at home, which makes it hard to believe they can dominate against a resurgent Broncos team. Ravens fans foresee their pass rush causing errors and their running game overpowering Denver.

^
 

NFL Game Odds: Broncos at Ravens Final Score and Prediction in Week 9

Baltimore Injuries

For the Ravens, cornerback Nate Wiggins (shoulder), defensive tackle Broderick Washington (knee), and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (knee) were limited in practice. Defensive end Brent Urban (concussion), cornerback Arthur Maulet (neck), defensive tackle Travis Jones (ankle), quarterback Lamar Jackson (back) and tailback Rasheen Ali (ankle) have been held out of practice this week. Jackson is expected to play on Sunday, as the rest was primarily a precaution. Tailback Keaton Mitchell (knee) has participated fully in practice and is expected to play Sunday.

Denver Injuries

For the Broncos, safety P.J. Locke (thumb) and offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) have been held out of practice this week. Safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (knee), fullback Michael Burton (foot), and defensive end Zach Allen (rest) have been limited in practice; Allen is expected to play Sunday while the other two are questionable. Cornerback Patrick Surtain II (ankle) and offensive tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) were listed as questionable but have participated fully in practice and are expected to play.

The last five games between these teams have been extremely close. The Ravens have won three while the Broncos have won two; the Ravens have scored 100 combined points while the Broncos have scored 98. Both teams play physical football and emphasize ball security. The Broncos actually have the more consistent defense, but their offense is still growing in terms of maturity at quarterback and consistent production at tailback. I think Baltimore can hold off the Broncos for the win, but a 9 ½-point spread is too large for this game.

I predict a final score of Baltimore 27, Denver 20.

Premier League Betting Matchday 10 Picks for the Top Games in the Weekend & Odds to Win

Is it possible that Manchester United could face relegation? The English Premier League blue blood came out of Matchday 9 in 14th place in the table, with 11 points and a three-match winless streak.

They’re still seven points clear of the relegation zone, currently occupied by Ipswich Town (4 points), Wolves (2) and Southampton (1), but the Red Devils’ 2-1 loss at West Ham United continued a historically poor start.

After Matchday 7, Man U only had eight points, its lowest total in the Premier League era (dating back to 1992) and the lowest after seven matches since 1989-90, when they had just seven points.

That led to an early firing of manager Erik ten Hag, who had also led the Red Devils to an eighth-place finish last year, the side’s worst in the EPL era.

In that 1989-90 season, even the venerable Sir Alex Ferguson came close to getting fired as the team finished just 13th in the English first division.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United finished last behind Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen, conceding a record-high 15 goals. Their performance in European competitions was disappointing.

 

Soccer Odds & Betting Analysis: Premier League Betting Matchday 10, 2024/25 Season

 

That eighth-place EPL finish last year sent the Red Devils into the Europa League this year, and they have only managed three draws – against FC Twente, Fenerbahce and Porto, none of whom are elite sides. They are currently in 21st place in the 36-team league stage.

The problems have had to do with offense, as the side have managed just eight goals in nine EPL matches, with only Crystal Palace and Southampton scoring fewer goals.

Since the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign, their goal differential is a -4 (65 scored, 69 conceded). Can the firing of ten Hag change their fortunes? We’ll see.

In the meantime, read on to find our sports betting predictions for Man U’s first match after ten Hag’s departure, as well as some other promising EPL showdown.

Liverpool -255 vs Brighton +540

When: Saturday, November 2, 11:00 am ET

Liverpool will face Brighton in the EFL Cup fourth round, just days after their EPL match. They are the defending EFL Cup champions, defeating West Ham 5-1 in the third round. Under Jürgen Klopp, they had never lost an away match until drawing 2-2 at Arsenal. Overcoming two one-goal deficits for the draw was a significant achievement.

That did pull Liverpool down out of first place in the EPL table as Manchester City zipped past them, but the Citizens only lead by a single point now. Interestingly, Liverpool have alternated fourth-round exists with EFL Cup titles over the last four seasons, so the pattern would have Brighton win on Wednesday…leading to revenge in Liverpool on Sunday?

Brighton allowed Wolves to come back from a two-goal deficit, resulting in a 2-2 finish, with Matheus Cunha scoring the equalizer. Brighton has been knocked out of the EFL Cup fourth round five times in a row, and last reached the quarterfinals in 1978-79. They have a three-match unbeaten streak against Liverpool at home, including a 2-1 FA Cup win in 2023, but Liverpool won their last encounter at Anfield in March 2024.

Premier League Betting Pick: Liverpool to win on Saturday.

^
 

Bournemouth +420 vs Manchester City -181

When: Saturday, November 2, 11:00 am ET

In addition to their match on Saturday, Bournemouth and Manchester City are also apparently rivals for the services of Real Valladolid star attacker Raul Moro from La Liga. Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are also bidding for his services in the January transfer window.

Moro’s contract with Real Valladolid runs through 2028, though, so those negotiations could be difficult. Bournemouth beat Arsenal in Matchday 8 and represented themselves will in Matchday 9, drawing 1-1 at Aston Villa. The Cherries have two home wins this season, with a draw and a loss in the other two home matches.

Manchester City defeated Southampton 1-0 to take the top spot in the EPL. They have scored in all nine matches, remain unbeaten in away games, and have led at halftime in six matches. City have a 15-game winning streak against Bournemouth and are in good form to continue their success.

EPL Pick: If you want some value, though, and you respect Bournemouth’s recent run, then I would take the draw.

^
 

Tottenham Hotspur -116 vs Aston Villa +246

When: Sunday, November 3, 9:00 am ET

Spurs started the season with just four wins in eight matches. In Matchday 9, they took it to West Ham, beating their London rivals, 4-1. Wilson Odobert is the only Tottenham player who could stay on the shelf for Sunday, but signs point to him getting at least some minutes out there. Both of these teams look to finish in the top four and grab one of those Champions League slots for next year.

Aston Villa has 17 points from 8 matches, continuing their strong performance from last year. They beat Fulham 3-1 and Bayern Munich 1-0 in UEFA Champions League. Robin Olsen and Tyrone Mings may remain sidelined. Jaden Philogene returns from a one-game ban. Villa has a two-match winning streak at Tottenham, but Spurs won 4-0 in their last meeting at Villa Park.

Premier League Pick: Spurs to win.

^
 

Manchester United +150 vs Chelsea +151

When: Sunday, November 3, 11:30 am ET

Manchester United eyeing Ruben Anorim as successor to Erik ten Hag, but Sporting Lisbon coach uncertain about move. Ruud van Nistelrooy to temporarily lead team in EFL Cup match vs Leicester City. Chelsea defeated Newcastle 2-1 with goals from Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson. Palmer now has seven goals, while Jackson has six, making them the only EPL teammates with six or more goals each.

Chelsea has struggled at Old Trafford since their last win in May 2013, with 5 losses and 6 draws in 11 matches. Nicolas Jackson has scored 4 goals in away games, with his only scoreless match against Bournemouth. With Manchester United under an interim manager, Chelsea may capitalize on their opponent’s misfortune. Increased effort is expected from the home team.

EPL Pick: Take the draw.

College Football Week 10: Betting AP Top 25 Teams & Ranking Analysis – 2024 Season

Betting AP Top 25 Teams | Which Group of Five team is the likeliest candidate for one of the 12 slots in the College Football Playoff?

Right now, that would be 15th-ranked Boise State, who held off UNLV last week, 29-24. That was the toughest remaining date on the Broncos’ schedule, and they only have one loss – a three-point loss to know top-ranked Oregon.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility to see the Broncos cruising to a conference championship, which would likely see them rise further up the AP Top 25.

Another team that kept its CFP hopes alive was 16th-ranked Kansas State. The Wildcats trailed Kansas in the last four minutes of regulation but nailed a field goal to win, giving themselves a 4-1 record in Big 12 play.

That makes the Wildcats’ “Farmageddon” rivalry date with 11th-ranked Iowa State a red-letter day on the last week of the regular season, assuming both teams keep winning.

 

Betting AP Top 25 Teams in the Week 10 of the College Football

Let’s look at the updated AP Top 25 as well as some thoughts on contending teams to consider in your NCAAF betting plans.

 

Oregon Ducks

Did the Ducks blink after reaching #1 last week? Absolutely not. They took then-#20 Illinois apart, dropping 35 points on the Illini in the first half and rolling to a 38-9 win. They’ve already beaten Ohio State, but since then their defense has ramped things up, shutting out Purdue in West Lafayette and then keeping Illinois to 293 yards of offense and those nine points. Other than Ohio State and Boise State, no one has scored more than 14 points against the Ducks. Their red-zone defense could improve, as opponents had an 88% touchdown rate on red-zone drives going into the Illinois game, but the Ducks improved that number as well, limiting the Illini to two touchdowns on four red-zone possessions.

^
 

Georgia Bulldogs

Which Bulldogs will show up in Jacksonville for The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party with the Florida Gators? Will it be the defensively brilliant Bulldogs who browbeat Texas in a 30-15 win in Austin? Linebacker Jalon Walker and end Mykel Williams were outstanding up front. Both the Gators and next week’s opponent, the Ole Miss Rebels, have pesky offenses that can do damage. Georgia has played five SEC games and has allowed 12, 41, 13, 31, and 15 points – not a sign of consistency. Going into the bye week, they were 19th in the nation in the fewest yards permitted per game and 26th in the fewest yards permitted per play. To finish SEC play unbeaten, those rankings likely need to improve.

^
 

AP Top 25 Vanderbilt Commodores

Who knew the Commodores would be so tough this year in SEC play? They almost pulled off another raucous home upset as the Texas Longhorns escaped Nashville with a 27-24 win on Saturday. For the Longhorns, Quinn Ewers started the day with a pick on a tipped ball on their first possession, but he recovered with 17 straight completions after that miscue and had three touchdown passes on the day. The Texas defense pried the ball away from the Vandy offense three times, raising the Commodores’ turnover total to five for the season. Texas has a nine-game road winning streak and enters a bye week before a home date with Florida on November 9.

^
 

Penn State Nittany Lions

How good is Penn State? The Nittany Lions beat Wisconsin last week, but Drew Allar went down with a left knee injury. He’s questionable with Ohio State coming up on the schedule. His backup, sophomore Beau Pribula, went 11 of 13 for 98 yards and a touchdown in the 28-13 win. However, Allar had the sixth-best QBR in the nation coming into the Wisconsin game (86.8) and he went 14 of 18 for 148 yards and a touchdown in the first half. It would be a shame if he couldn’t bounce back in time for the Ohio State game, and the Nittany Lions end up on the wrong end of another chance to contend in the Big Ten.

^
 

Miami Hurricanes (FL)

Miami (FL) has an intriguing date with Duke coming up this weekend. Manny Diaz is the Hurricanes’ former head coach, and their pass offense pushed SMU hard at times in a 28-27 overtime loss. Miami drubbed Florida State, 36-14, last week, but each week the Seminoles find ways to look worse. The Hurricanes barely escaped their game with Louisville, 52-45, and their defense has not been particularly good against even serviceable opposition, particularly in the tackling game. Duke runs the ball hard, and Maalik Murphy has shown he can drop deep balls into a bucket. Syracuse is another offense that could expose the Hurricanes.

^
 

Indiana Hoosiers

The Hoosiers are another surprise unbeaten team waiting for a chance to jump into the top five. They rolled over Washington, 31-17, with backup quarterback Tayven Jackson running the offense. Kurtis Rourke (thumb) should return to the job soon, but even with Jackson in the game, the Hoosiers became the first FBS program since Kansas State in 1998 to go 8-0 without trailing at any point in any game. That team fell to Texas A&M in double overtime in the Big 12 Championship. How far will Indiana go? They should be favored in three of their last four regular-season contests, except for their visit to Ohio Stadium on November 23. Even if they lose that game, they will have a strong case to get into the CFP.

^
 

AP Top 25 BYU Cougars

BYU escaped Oklahoma State two weeks ago and was on upset alert going into their game at UCF on Saturday, but they roared out to a 17-0 lead and built a lead that got as large as 24 in their 37-24 victory. They have a bye week coming up before their rivalry date with Utah. The Utes are struggling, so BYU should get through that and sit at 9-0…but we know how rivalry games can go.

^
 

Clemson Tigers

Clemson has done just about everything right since that Week 1 embarrassment against Georgia. Stanford did run for 236 yards against them, but in their next three games, no opposing team gained more than 90 yards on the ground. In ACC play, Clemson has permitted 107 points, but 54 of those came when the Tigers had built huge leads and were playing reserves – such as the fourth quarter last week when Virginia added three garbage-time touchdowns in a 48-31 Clemson win.

^
 

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Yes, the Fighting Irish lost to Northern Illinois in Week 2…the same NIU team that lost to Buffalo the next week. However, they’ve been terrific in their wins. That opening win over Texas A&M has looked better each week as the Aggies’ performance has also improved. They trounced Navy last week, 51-14, behind two passing touchdowns from Riley Leonard, 265 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground, and five fumble recoveries by the defense. Is Notre Dame a CFP team? They tend to get rated more highly than they deserve because of their program reputation, but they are also playing terrific ball right now.

Texans at Jets Odds in NFL Week 9 Thursday Night Football, Predictions and Picks

NFL Game Odds: Texans at Jets TNF | Remember when Aaron Rodgers was the last piece to the puzzle solution that would propel the New York Jets back to contender status for the first time since their brief heyday in the Mark Sanchez days?

Well, that buzz seems to have faded. The Jets lost Rodgers for the whole season after his torn Achilles in Week 1 last year.

He returned this year and led his team to a 2-1 start…but now they’re 2-6 after losing to New England last week.

If Houston beats the Jets on Thursday, that would leave the Jets at 2-7. Would the Jets consider trading Aaron Rodgers, particularly if a starting QB for a contender suffers an injury?

There are more red flags than ever associated with the former Green Bay star.

His mobility is down. His overall effectiveness seems to be down. He either stood by or manipulated things as head coach Robert Saleh was shown the gate.

So there are a lot of reasons for teams to steer clear of Rodgers, but desperate general managers have shown that they will do odd things to help their teams.

The Jets prepare to host the Houston Texans on Thursday night, and somehow the Texans are only favored by a single point.

Let’s break down this sports betting matchup as Week 9 of the NFL regular season gets underway.

Houston Texans TNF Line +104

Divisional rivalry games are almost always tough ones in the NFL, so when the Indianapolis Colts came south last week to take on Houston, the Texans had their work cut out for them to get the sweep. Joe Mixon proved to be more than tough enough, getting a 14-yard touchdown run where he juked one would-be tackler and carried a defensive back into the end zone with him.

On the day, Mixon picked up 102 yards on the ground, making him the first player in league history to run for at least 100 yards and score a touchdown in four of his first five contests with a team.

The exception came in Week 2, when he missed almost the whole second half with an ankle injury that sidelined him through Week 5. C.J. Stroud rebounded from a Week 7 nightmare when he threw for just 86 yards in a loss to Green Bay, picking up 285 yards through the air and throwing a touchdown pass to Tank Dell.

The Defense

The Texans’ defense picked off Anthony Richardson once and made his life miserable in the pocket all day long. Even so, it looked like the Colts had gone back ahead when defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo scooped up a Mixon fumble and took it 84 yards to the house. However, replay found him down by contact, and the Colts couldn’t move the ball.

The Texans sacked Richardson on third down to force a punt, and then when the Colts got the ball back at the end of regulation, they sacked Richardson yet again, forcing a fumble on the game’s last play. That sort of toughness will need to follow them to New York on a short week.

SU & ATS Picks

TThe Jets have a 2-6 record straight up and against the spread this season, going 2-3 ATS as favorites. Houston is 1-0 ATS as underdogs of a point or more, despite their 3-5 overall ATS record. Interim Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich criticized the team’s performance after a loss to New England, highlighting Aaron Rodgers’ excellence.

The Jets offense took the lead in the final minutes, but missed kicks led to a Patriots win. Ulbrich plans to hold a kicking competition with free agents. There is unrest in New York, a bad sign for success.

New York Jets TNF Line -127

The Patriots were called out for being “soft” in their loss to Jacksonville last week, so we shouldn’t have been surprised when they came out physical in their game with the Jets. Even when Drake Maye had to enter the concussion protocol, Jacoby Brissett led two key touchdown drives in the second half to secure the 25-22 win over the Jets.

Aaron Rodgers had decent numbers – going 17 of 28 for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He found Garrett Wilson five times for 113 yards. Braelon Allen ran for a touchdown to give the Jets the lead with three minutes left in regulation, and Breece Hall ran the ball 16 times for 80 yards.

The Defense

Kicker Greg Zuerlein struggled, pulling a 44-yard field goal try to the left when the Jets were down by a point and missing an extra point badly. On defense, Haason Reddick, normally an elite edge rusher, made his Gotham debut. He played primarily on third down, but he didn’t post a single tackle, or even an assist.

Now the Jets have a losing streak that has reached five games, dating back to September 19. If you like the Jets on Thursday, you’re wagering more on the basis of the difficulties of traveling for a Thursday game, given the recovery that NFL action requires of the body.

SU & ATS Picks

The Jets have a strong record against the Texans, going 7-2-1 against the spread in their last 10 games. Houston has struggled against AFC East teams, going 2-6 straight up in their last eight matchups. The under has hit in six of the Texans’ last seven games, giving the Jets a chance to win with lower scoring.

Even with his recent struggled, Aaron Rodgers already has one Hail Mary touchdown pass this season and still is the league’s career leader. If you like the Jets here, you see them taking advantage of Houston’s jet lag and then keeping the game slow enough to stop the Texans from taking charge.

Texans at Jets TNF Final Score and Prediction in Week 9

Houston Injuries

Texans have WR Stefon Diggs listed as questionable with Nico Collins. Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz are still available. Other questionables include RB Dameon Pierce, S Jimmie Ward, C Jarrett Patterson, and LB Azeez Al-Shaair.

New York Injuries

For the Jets, edge rusher Haason Reddick is listed as questionable. After a disappointing Week 8, it would be sad if he had to sit out Week 9. Defensive end Will McDonald IV, center Jake Hanson, offensive tackle Morgan Moses, and linebacker Chazz Surratt are also on the questionable list.

While the Jets have ended up on the wrong end of some close games this season, execution is key in this league. They are 13th in the league in Net Yards Per Play at +0.4, 33% better than the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs (+0.3). They did have a late lead against the Patriots.

However, if Jacoby Brissett can lead two long touchdown drives against your defense in the second half with the talent that the Patriots have right now, you’re going to struggle mightily against Houston.

I predict a final score of Houston 20, New York 12.

NFL Week 9 Betting Lines, Expert Picks & Top Games featuring Cowboys at Falcons – 2024 Season

NFL Week 9 | On Sunday, the Detroit Lions head into Lambeau Field with a real chance to make it three straight wins on the storied turf that the Green Bay Packers call home.

If that doesn’t seem like a big deal, remember that the Packers beat the Lions at home 24 times in a row, from 1992 until 2014.

Since Dan Campbell took the head coaching job in Detroit, the Lions are 4-2 against Green Bay.

The Packers won the last meeting on Thanksgiving Day, beating the Lions, 29-22, at Ford Field, amping this rivalry back up.

Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love had to leave the team’s Week 8 game with Jacksonville after injuring his groin, but an MRI revealed no significant damage, so he’s likely to take the field on Sunday.

Don’t miss our sports betting predictions for the Packers-Lions showdown, as well as some other primo picks for NFL Week 9.

 

NFL Week 9: Top Games with Odds & Expert Analysis

   

Dallas Cowboys (+2.5) at Atlanta Falcons

When: Sunday, November 3, 1:00 pm ET, FOX

Dallas is dead last in the NFL in rushing, at just 74.1 yards per game, and quarterback Dak Prescott hasn’t dealt well with the resulting pressure. He has multiple interceptions in the last three games, the first Cowboys quarterback with that kind of streak in 32 seasons. You might think that these offensive difficulties would keep the Cowboys from winning on the road, but if you look at the failed Dallas comebacks against Baltimore and San Francisco, you see that CeeDee Lamb is a difference-maker who can torch secondaries all by himself.

Also, the Falcons’ offense – while talented – is less consistent than some of the other teams that have been whipping Dallas lately. Kirk Cousins has a passer rating of just 86.0 in five home games, and all seven of his picks have come at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. If the Cowboys are going to win between now and their Thanksgiving date with the Giants, this is going to be the NFL Week 9.

NFL Pick: Cowboys to cover.

^
 

Miami Dolphins (+6) at Buffalo Bills

When: Sunday, November 3, 1:00 pm ET, CBS

James Cook rumbled for 111 yards and two scores against a Seattle Seahawks team that has a decent running defense. When the Bills played Miami the first time, Cook had three total touchdowns. Josh Allen did throw his first pick off, 2024 last week, but the Bills still have a +11 turnover margin that leads the NFL. Miami has an eight-game losing streak in Buffalo, including the playoffs. Tua Tagovailoa looked solid in his return from the concussion protocol last week, but it wasn’t enough to get the win, and I don’t see the Dolphins doing enough against Buffalo’s defense.

NFL Pick: Bills to win and cover.

^
 

L.A. Chargers (-2) at Cleveland Browns

When: Sunday, November 3, 1:00 pm ET, CBS

The Chargers have a four-game winning streak against Cleveland, but the Browns may have dug themselves out of their losing rut. Jameis Winston started at quarterback for the Browns in Week 8, and they stopped the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, the Chargers have better ball security than they did last year, but the Browns have enough going on defense to make Justin Herbert’s life miserable and to put the Chargers behind the chains. Nick Chubb is getting stronger every week back for the Browns, so it’s curious to see the Chargers coming in as road favorites.

NFL Pick: Browns to cover.

^
 

New England Patriots (+3.5) at Tennessee Titans

When: Sunday, November 3, 1:00 pm ET, FOX

The Patriots beat the Jets last week to move even with them in the AFC East basement at 2-6, and how they head south to take on the only one-win team left in the AFC. The Titans turned the ball over four times in the beating that Detroit administered on Sunday. Drake Maye was looking good for the Patriots until he got knocked into the concussion protocol; Jacoby Brissett came on in relief and did enough to lead the Pats to the win. Brissett holds onto the ball too long, which means he takes too many sacks, but his ball security is solid – he only has one pick on the season. We have two offenses with a lot of problems squaring off, so don’t expect a lot of fireworks. The Patriots have the momentum, though.

NFL Pick: Patriots to cover.

^
 

Washington Commanders (-3.5) at N.Y. Giants

When: Sunday, November 3, 1:00 pm ET, FOX

The New York Giants have built a culture of toughness and physicality under coach Brian Daboll. However, they also get in their own way more often than they should – pre-snap penalties, bone-headed play designs and other gaffes hurt them every week. Daniel Jones is a tough quarterback who isn’t afraid to take chances, but his unwillingness to anticipate with his throws keeps him from finding receivers fast enough, which really hurts the team in the red zone. So they stayed close to Pittsburgh on Monday night, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. Washington got caught in a grinder of a game against Chicago and needed some real luck to get the win on a Hail Mary. The Giants should be able to draw Washington into another defensive struggle.

NFL Pick: I don’t like either side of this point spread, but I am going to take the under (43.5).

^
 

L.A. Rams (-1.5) at Seattle Seahawks

When: Sunday, November 3, 4:25 pm ET, FOX

Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are both back on the field, and the Rams’ offense has returned in full force. The Rams rolled over a Minnesota team with a legit defense last week, 30-20, with both of their elite receivers out there on the field. With tailback Kyren Williams, the Rams now have a fully balanced offense, and they head north to take on a Seattle team that has allowed 167.6 rushing yards per game over their last five games – dropping four of those. The Rams have three wins in their last four trips to Seattle, and given how the Seahawks have been playing, it will be four wins in five trips after Sunday.

NFL Pick: Rams to cover.

^
 

Detroit Lions (-3.5) at Green Bay Packers

When: Sunday, November 3, 4:25 pm ET, FOX

No team has more takeaways that Green Bay does this season (19), but Detroit is in second with 15. Jared Goff hasn’t thrown a pick in four straight games, so it’s going to be tough for the Packers to add to that takeaway total. The Lions are toying with opponents on offense right now, and their defense is opportunistic enough to cause problems. I’m not locking in any wagers on this game until we know whether Jordan Love or Malik Willis will be the Green Bay quarterback, but even if Love takes the field, the lingering effects of that groin injury will limit his ability to run – as well as to plant and throw deeper balls.

NFL Pick: Lions to win and cover.

^
 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+9) at Kansas City Chiefs MNF

When: Monday, November 4, 8:15 pm ET, ABC/ESPN

Yes, the Chiefs are still unbeaten despite a number of key injuries, but Tampa Bay is doing the same thing. They hung with Atlanta last week despite missing both Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Baker Mayfield still threw for 330 yards and three scores (with a pair of picks) in the loss. The Buccaneers’ backs are against the wall, so even though Kansas City’s defense is elite, Tampa Bay does not quit. The Bucs have the #30 defense in the NFL, so this could turn into a track meet, but the Chiefs’ offense has been understated all season. This line is too large, but the Chiefs should still come out undefeated.

NFL Pick: Buccaneers to cover.

2024 NBA Conference and Division Betting Futures, Odds & Expert Analysis

NBA Betting Futures for 2024/25 Season | Between 1999 and 2020, the NBA was basically controlled by a group of five teams. Between 1999 and 2007, we either saw Shaquille O’Neal or Tim Duncan in the NBA Finals – that happened eight out of nine times.

2007 and 2020, either Kobe Bryant or LeBron James appeared in the Finals 12 of 13 years – although, to fans’ great disappointment, never against one another.

The Golden State Warriors made six Finals between 2015 and 2022, and the Cleveland Cavaliers made the Finals four years in a row, from 2015 to 2018. Since then, though, the league has seen a great increase in parity.

Boston’s team won their 18th title last season – but their first since 2006. They were the sixth different team over the last six seasons to win a title, and eight teams started the 2024-25 season with sports betting odds of +1300 or better to win the title.

Let’s start with a look at the odds of each team to win their division and conference title, and then we’ll move to a discussion of some teams that may surprise you.

NBA Betting Futures Oklahoma City Thunder

The Thunder are in the NW Division because the NBA hasn’t realigned since they were the SuperSonics. They’re favorites due to being top seed last year, having MVP runner-up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and rookies Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams.

The Thunder struggled with rebounding, ranking 28th in the league. They acquired Isaiah Hartenstein from the Knicks, giving them two skilled 7-footers. Trading Josh Giddey for Alex Caruso adds a proven chemistry booster. With these changes, the Thunder will be harder to defeat this season.

^
 

New York Knicks

The Knicks made it to Game 7 of the East semifinals last year without a pair of stars, as center Mitchell Robinson and forward Julius Randle were on the shelf. O.G. Anunoby had tried to come back from a hamstring injury too early, and star guard Jalen Brunson broke his shooting hand in the game. That just made it too tough for the Knicks to get by the Pacers.

However, the Knicks brought in Karl-Anthony Towns in the off-season, which gives Brunson a major upgrade inside – and also on the perimeter. With Brunson always a threat to crash the rim and Towns an inside-out problem, the Knicks became a lot more dangerous. They had to trade Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota to get Towns, sacrificing depth, and Towns will have to learn more about rim defense than he did in Minnesota.

^
 

Philadelphia 76ers

Will the 76ers actually turn into a contender this year, or is this just the next failed super team in the City of Brotherly Love? Last season, they got bounced by the Knicks in the first round; Joel Embiid was never able to bounce back from a knee injury that kept him off the court for the last 10 weeks of the regular season. That recovery and a bout of Bell’s palsy slowed him down in the postseason.

In the off-season, they got Paul George via free agency in addition to extending Embiid, re-signing Tyrese Maxey, and adding Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon, and Andre Drummond. They still have multiple first-round picks that they can use during the season as trade bait. With Embiid, Maxey and George, they have as much star power as anyone else. However, both Embiid and George have extensive histories of failing to last through the marathon of the long NBA season.

^
 

NBA Betting Futures Dallas Mavericks

They morphed from next year’s team to contenders at the trade deadline last year, when the team actually brought in solid rim players, adding Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington. Through the last quarter of the regular season, they had the best defense in the league, but iffy three-point shooting kept them from holding pace with Boston in the Finals. The Mavericks did add Klay Thompson in free agency.

Thompson is a deadly shooter, but had a quiet season with Golden State. Lively II and Gafford impressed with flashy alley-oop finishes. The dilemma is whether to start Thompson over Jones Jr for defense. Can Thompson prove himself against top players? Only time will tell.

^
 

Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker is praised for his contributions, highlighted by his role in the U.S. men’s Olympic gold medal win. However, he struggled in the West semifinals against the Mavericks two years ago. Despite adding Durant and Beal in the offseason, the Suns started the 2023-24 season off poorly at 4-6 despite being considered top contenders for the NBA title.

Beal missed 29 games due to lack of team depth. Vogel was fired after the Suns were swept by Minnesota, losing by 60 points. Budenholzer, coming from Milwaukee, is the new coach. The team relies on shooting but struggles with inside points. Plumlee and Jones have been added to support Beal and Booker. Durant and Beal’s health will determine team success.

^
 

Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron James departure from the Cavaliers to Miami shocked the sports world. Despite team owner Dan Gilbert’s promise of an NBA title before LeBron, the Cavs did not accomplish this. However, the team has now moved on and reached the second round of the playoffs without James for the first time in 30 years.

Orlando was defeated in seven games by the team, with Donovan Mitchell scoring 50 points in Game Six. However, they lost to Boston in five games, with injuries to Caris LeVert (knee) and Mitchell (calf). Despite the postseason success, a new coach (Kenny Atkinson) was hired, and Mitchell signed a three-year, $150.3 million extension. Improving ball security, with a turnover rate of 13.7 per game, is a focus for a deeper playoff run.

NFL Week 9 Odds: Top Quarterbacks Matchups, Picks & Betting Analysis in 2024 Season

Here’s the half of the Season for your NFL betting ! Few quarterbacks matched the excitement that Washington Commanders signal-caller Jayden Daniels provided at the end of their game with the Chicago Bears.

The Bears had just taken a 15-12 lead, and the Commanders got the ball back with 20 seconds left. A quick completion on a down-and-out moved the ball to the Washington 48.

Then Daniels evaded a weak four-man pass rush, buying 13 seconds for his receivers to get down the field and form a scrum, before heaving the ball high into the air.

Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson taunted fans before joining the play, but dropped the ball, allowing Noah Brown to catch it in the end zone all by himself.

The clock stood at all zeroes, and the Commanders had a miraculous 18-15 win.

 

NFL Betting Quarterback Matchups in Week 9 | NFL Odds

Which quarterbacks will shape their matchups the most going into Week 9? As you consider your sports betting options, check out our thoughts on some of the quarterback showdowns.

 

Houston Texans (+1) at N.Y. Jets

When: TNF, October 31, 8:15 pm ET, Prime Video
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 42

Remember when the New York Jets had a 2-1 record? That is a distant memory now as the team has lost five straight. The firing of head coach Robert Saleh has done nothing to stop the bleeding. The offense looks disjointed, and Aaron Rodgers looks every bit of a 40-something quarterback. The team has Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson running routes, and Tyler Conklin is a solid tight end. Allen Lazard will make an elite slot receiver when he returns to the lineup. The tailback, Breece Hall, has also been considered elite. So what’s going on at quarterback? Yes, Aaron Rodgers threw another amazing Hail Mary in the team’s loss to Buffalo a couple of weeks ago. But Sunday’s loss to a Patriots team deeply mired in a rebuild was just the most recent disappointment.

The other side of this signal-caller showdown is second-year C.J. Stroud, who has the Houston Texans sitting at 6-2 – and that includes a mysterious disappointment up in Minnesota. They have a two-game lead in the AFC South, including an impressive win over a tough Indianapolis team on Sunday. Stroud has Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs running routes for him, and tight end Dalton Schultz is also one of the league’s best. Stroud looks poised and controlled in the pocket, and he has the mobility to cause problems with his legs as well. How are the Jets favored here? Well, the Texans travel on a short week. But really? We’ll have a longer article on this game later in the week, but for now, this is a quarterback matchup that strongly favors Houston.

^
 

Dallas Cowboys (+2.5) at Atlanta Falcons

When: Sunday, November 3, 1:00 pm ET, FOX
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 52

Dak Prescott has an interesting stat trend going for the Cowboys. He’s the first Dallas quarterback to throw for at least two interceptions in three straight games for the first time in 32 years. Who was the last Dallas QB to do that? Troy Aikman. How did that season turn out? The Cowboys won the Super Bowl. Is that likely to happen again this year? Well…The Cowboys are now 3-4 after their comeback attempt in San Francisco fell just short. When Prescott has time in the pocket and can find CeeDee Lamb or Jalen Tolbert, good things happen. However, it’s easy to tell that Prescott’s feeling the pressure to produce, and he’s pushing balls into windows where they just don’t belong.

What do Kirk Cousins and Prescott have in common? They both signed huge deals in the off-season – Prescott to stay in Dallas, and Cousins to move from Minnesota to Atlanta. Cousins has led the Falcons to a 5-3 record after their 31-26 win over Tampa Bay. The team had suffered a disappointing loss to Seattle the week before, but Cousins gave the team a rousing speech on Tuesday and then followed up those words with a 23-of-29 day with 276 yards and four touchdown passes. You don’t always know which Kirk Cousins will show up, though. Sometimes he puts up huge numbers and leads the team to a win, and then sometimes he doesn’t look quite as solid, throws backbreaking interceptions, and the team doesn’t do as well. The Cowboys have the pass rush to make Cousins’ day tough, and the Falcons are likely to give up some big pass plays to Dallas. This looks like a day when both quarterbacks have some big numbers and the game goes down to the wire. If it’s me, I’m looking more at the “over” than either side winning or covering.

2024 NFL Week 8 Quarterbacks Matchups
 

We are approaching the halfway point of the season, what do the NFL betting odds have in store for us? The high-octane Tampa Bay offense took on a lot of water in the Buccaneers’ Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Yes, the Bucs managed 31 points, but a lot of those points came in garbage time.

Baker Mayfield had two crucial interceptions in three pass attempts late in the second quarter, one in the end zone, and the Ravens took advantage of the momentum shift.

Top two receiving leaders in Buccaneers history, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, are out due to injuries. Evans has a hamstring injury and Godwin dislocated his ankle, causing them to miss extended time.

 

NFL Betting Quarterback Matchups in Week 8 | NFL Odds

As we head into Week 8, let’s look at some of the top quarterback matchups as you plan your NFL sports betting.

 

Philadelphia Eagles (+2.5) at Cincinnati Bengals

When: Sunday, October 27, 1:00 pm ET, CBS
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 47.5

Jalen Hurts

Hurts has an elite tailback in Saquon Barkley this year, and that has allowed him to deploy his top-shelf talents without having the pressure to produce all the time. Against the Giants last week, he went 10 of 14 for 144 yards and a score, also running for a pair of touchdowns. Barkley ran for 176 yards, and Hurts got to take the fourth quarter off as Kenny Pickett came on in relief during the rout. The Bengals will represent a stiffer challenge, but this is a much more relaxed and confident Jalen Hurts in 2024.

Joe Burrow

Burrow has historically struggled against the Cleveland Browns, and his numbers weren’t that great in Week 7. He went just 15 of 25 for 181 yards, but he threw two touchdowns, one apiece to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

He only had one passing play go for over 20 yards, a sign of the pedestrian progress of the Bengals’ offense on Sunday. It’s been an up-and-down season for Burrow, and given the way the Eagles have played defense, it could be another slog for him.

 

Atlanta Falcons (-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

When: Sunday, October 27, 1:00 pm ET, FOX
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 47.5

Kirk Cousins

Which Cousins will the Atlanta Falcons see this week? So far, the Falcons have gotten more of the elite quarterback Kirk Cousins instead of the head-scratching Kirk Cousins. He threw for 232 yards on Sunday but also coughed up a fumble and had a pair of interceptions. Sometimes he’s this decade’s Phillip Rivers, and at other times he is right up there with the likes of Tony Romo in terms of making game-changing throws.

Baker Mayfield

Mayfield had three interceptions two weeks ago against New Orleans and two more against Baltimore, as his MVP-level start is starting to creak a bit. He also threw for 325 yards and four touchdowns against the Saints, and his production and confidence didn’t sag much against Baltimore.

However, once the Buccaneers’ defense let up against Baltimore’s run-heavy attack, things got out of hand for a while. Without Evans or Godwin in the offense, I don’t expect Mayfield’s effort or swagger to diminish, but you can only target Cade Otton so often – someone else will have to step up.

 

Buffalo Bills (-3) at Seattle Seahawks

When: Sunday, October 27, 4:05 pm ET, FOX
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 47.5

Geno Smith

Seattle’s Smith leads the NFL with 1,778 passing yards. However, his TD:INT ratio is an unimpressive 6:6 after he threw a pair of picks in Seattle’s 36-24 home loss to San Francisco in Week 7. He’s had some streaks when ball security has been a problem; in 2023, he had six interceptions between Weeks 6 and 9, but before and after that stretch he was pretty sharp. He falls about in the middle of the metrics when it comes to quarterback numbers in the NFL, so while he’s not a reincarnation of Russell Wilson, he has the Seahawks’ offense working more often than not.

Josh Allen

Buffalo’s Allen is the only quarterback in the NFL without an interception, and there are some who see him as a legit MVP candidate. Questions about his ball security in previous seasons have so far been answered.

Interestingly, he hadn’t hit 300 yards in a passing game until this past weekend, when wide receiver Amari Cooper joined the Bills via trade from the struggling Cleveland Browns. With his rushing ability, cannon arm, and willingness to take measured risks, Allen is one of the great signal-callers in this league. We’re just waiting for him to continue that greatness on an extended postseason run.

   
2024 NFL Week 7 Quarterbacks Matchups
 

How’s your NFL Betting this Week? We learned important things about two of the NFL’s newest quarterbacks this week as rookies Drake Maye and Spencer Rattler started for New England and New Orleans, respectively.

Rattler rallied as Saints trailed Buccaneers 17-0, scoring 20 points in response. Spencer impressed with mobility, connecting with Moreau for 41-yard gain.

Spencer showed a great deal of poise, going 11 of 17 for 140 yards and a score in the first half.

However, nerves (and the Tampa Bay pass rush) got to him in the second half as he went 11 of 23 for 103 yards with a pair of picks.

Drake Maye also had some promising plays, such as a 40-yard touchdown pass to Kayshon Boutte shortly before halftime to finish a sharp two-minute drill.

He also got out of the pocket to buy time and locate tight end Hunter Henry for a 30-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter, showing a lot of poise.

He also had an overthrow go for a pick and got strip-sacked, but having your debut against the Houston Texans is far from ideal.

NFL Betting Quarterback Matchups in Week 7 | NFL Odds

Going into Week 7, check out our top quarterback matchups as you start to think about your sports betting choices.

Cincinnati Bengals (-5) at Cleveland Browns

When: Sunday, October 20, 1:00 pm ET, CBS
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 43

Joe Burrow darted for a 47-yard touchdown run against the New York Giants on the Cincinnati Bengals’ first possession on Sunday night, and it looked like the rout was on.

However, Burrow would barely clear 200 passing yards on the night, and the other Bengals touchdown would come late in the fourth quarter of a 17-7 win that should have been much closer, as the Giants hooked two field goal attempts that weren’t even 50 yards in length.

We saw Burrow absolutely go nuts against Baltimore last week, throwing five touchdown passes, but he had a hard time with a Giants pass rush that leads the NFL in sacks. He now heads to Cleveland to face another team that gets after the quarterback.

Deshaun Watson

Despite sexual harassment allegations against Watson, Stefanski keeps him playing due to his lucrative, guaranteed contract. Unless new damaging information arises, Browns can’t void the deal.

But let’s look at some insights about Watson’s season so far, reported by The Ringer. Cleveland averages 240 yards of offense per game – dead last. They have put up 80 points on offense through six games.

The only team with fewer points is Miami, who has had a bye week (and therefore one fewer game) and who has had to start three different quarterbacks.

If we look back to last year, Joe Flacco started six games for Cleveland and threw for at least 250 yards in each of them. He had more than one touchdown pass in five of those six starts.

The last time Watson broke 250 passing yards was Week 3 of the 2023 season, and he only has one multiple-touchdown pass game this season.

Rodney McLeod Jr

Against Philadelphia last week, the only Cleveland touchdown came on defense, when safety McLeod Jr picked up a blocked field goal attempt and took it to the house.

He also found the end zone on a scoop-and-score in Week 4. He and Watson are tied for touchdowns in the last three weeks – with two apiece.

A concerning number prompts speculation about the Browns’ potential decision to involve Jameis Winston.

With a strong defense and solid O-line, they may aim for a wild-card spot, possibly starting in Week 8.

Houston Texans (+3) at Green Bay Packers

When: Sunday, October 20, 1:00 pm ET, CBS
NFL Betting Totals: O/U 47.5

C.J. Stroud has the Houston offense cooking. Yes, they got shut down in Minnesota, but whatever the Vikings are cooking up there is stopping all comers right now.

Against New England last week, Stroud led the Texans to a 41-point day, the most that the Houston offense has scored since Week 16 of the 2021 season.

Now that Joe Mixon is back and healthy, after missing three weeks with an injured ankle, Stroud won’t have to carry as much of the offense on his shoulders, and you can expect to see that greater balance lead to more dominant offensive performances.

Jordan Love looked terrific in the Packers’ 34-13 dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals.

He went 22 of 32 for 258 yards and four scores in his third game back from a knee injury, looking like the Jordan Love who finished 2023 slicing and dicing opposing defenses.

Early in the game against the Cardinals, he threw mostly short passes, but half of his touchdown passes carried more than 15 yards down the field. That kind of confidence down the field makes Green Bay’s offense even more dangerous.

 
2024 NFL Week 6 Quarterbacks Matchups
 

The best matches include the best QB, are you ready to NFL Betting this Week? The Dallas Cowboys went into Pittsburgh as road underdogs against the Steelers.

They didn’t have Micah Parsons or DeMarcus Lawrence in their front seven on defense, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks wasn’t available to run routes.

Dak Prescott had a red-zone fumble and two interceptions. However, when the chips were down, Prescott found Jalen Tolbert on fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line with 20 seconds left in regulation to deliver a 20-17 win.

Prescott has gotten criticism for stacking up statistics while failing to deliver in the clutch, and in all fairness, he did deliver on Sunday night.

Going into Week 6, let’s look at the key quarterback matchups as you plan your sports betting.

NFL Betting Quarterback Matchups in Week 6 | NFL Odds

Jacksonville Jaguars +110 at Chicago Bears -134

When: Sunday, October 13, 9:30 am ET, NFL Network

Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence had not won a start since November 26, 2023, but his nine-game losing streak came to an end on Sunday as the Jaguars beat the Indianapolis Colts in a shootout.

That also ended a nine-game streak in which Lawrence had failed to throw for at least 300 yards. He found Brian Thomas Jr and Christian Kirk on deep balls after air-mailing three possible long scores last week. Now the Jaguars head to London for a two-game stint on the other side of the Atlantic.

Chicago’s Caleb Williams has faced a tough learning curve so far in his NFL career, but he has started to find his way. In Weeks 1-4, he went just 5 of 29 on passes traveling at least 15 yards through the air, with three interceptions.

In Week 5 against Carolina, though, he went 4 of 4 for 108 yards and two scores. He hit Cole Kmet, D.J. Moore, Gerald Everett, and Keenan Allen on deep balls. Expect this London game to feature plenty of offense.

NFL Betting Arizona Cardinals +186 at Green Bay Packers -234

When: Sunday, October 13, 1:00 pm ET, FOX

Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals came out of Levi’s Stadium with a huge road win over the NFC West favorite San Francisco 49ers. Murray led his team on a game-winning drive and looked confident the whole way.

He found Marvin Harrison Jr on a key fourth-down conversion with 2:49 left in regulation after a day when he and Murray spent a lot of time miscommunicating on routes, so that finish looked promising. Remember, the Cardinals also routed the Rams in Week 2.

Jordan Love led the Packers to a nice win in Los Angeles last week. Love continues to show maturity in his decision-making, and his receivers are helping him out.

He found Tucker Craft for a 66-yard catch-and-run score, the longest by a tight end in the NFL this season. He also found Jayden Reed for four receptions for 78 yards, and now Reed is only the sixth player ever to post 400 receiving yards and 100 rushing yards in the opening five games of a season.

As Love’s savvy continues to grow, so will the Packers’ playoff chances.

NFL Betting Washington Commanders +218 at Baltimore Ravens -275

When: Sunday, October 13, 1:00 pm ET, CBS

The Commanders have averaged 33.8 points and 409 yards per game between Weeks 2 and 5 – numbers that lead the league over that stretch. They are now averaging 31.0 points per game on the year.

They didn’t punt at all in Weeks 2-4. Against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Jayden Daniels struggled a bit, as the Browns have a fierce pass rush, but he still threw for 238 yars and ran for 82 more.

It was the explosive plays that made the difference as the Commanders gained 434 yards on the day – but only needed eight plays to gain 298 of them. Daniels had passes of 66 and 41 yards, and Austin Ekeler broke out for a 50-yard run.

Daniels’ next quarterback duel will feature Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, who just won a 41-38 track meet at Cincinnati in overtime.

Jackson is benefiting from the addition of Derrick Henry to the offense as the Ravens have outrushed the opposition by at least 100 yards each week.

No team has done that since at least 1933, when yardages were tracked fully. They have a +754 rushing yardage advantage on the year. So while Jackson’s passing numbers might not be all that gaudy right now, he has his offense rolling.

 
2024 NFL Week 3 Quarterbacks Matchups
 

Yes! Your NFL Betting plans continues this Week 3! The name “Burrowhead Stadium” settled on the home field of the Kansas City Chiefs in the early days of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s career, as the Bengals beat the Chiefs three straight times, including in the AFC Championship, once Burrow came into the league in 2021.

They’ve played three more times since then, with the Chiefs winning all of them. The nickname has faded, but none of the six games was decided by more than seven points.

Another elite quarterback, Lamar Jackson, was last year’s NFL MVP but now has his team off to an 0-2 record.

The last time an MVP had that happen was 2002 when Kurt Warner won the 2001 MVP but led the St. Louis Rams to an 0-2 start to the next season.

Let’s look at some key quarterback matchups from Week 3 as you plan your sports betting for the week.

NFL Betting Quarterback Matchups in Week 3 | NFL Odds

N.Y. Giants (+6.5) at Cleveland Browns

When: Sunday, 1:00 pm ET

Did you expect to see Daniel Jones and Deshaun Watson on this list? This is an intriguing QB matchup because both of them are facing serious questions about their viability as quarterbacks in this league.

Jones is in his sixth season but has failed to distinguish himself as a quarterback at this level except for a brief flash as it was time to move from his rookie contract to his first extension.

Watson has the highest fully guaranteed deal in league history, but a combination of shoddy play and yet another lawsuit for sexual misconduct from his days in Houston may well have the Browns’ brass looking for ways for the team to escape the deal.

Can either quarterback assert himself and pay off on the promise that he showed in the past? Or will this be an ugly day of offense on both sides?

Philadelphia Eagles (-5.5) at New Orleans Saints

When: Sunday, 1:00 pm ET

There was a time when Derek Carr was one of the most promising quarterbacks in the NFL.

He led the then-Oakland Raiders to a wild-card playoff berth in 2016 but went down to a season-ending injury ahead of the playoffs.

He threw 53 touchdown passes in his first two seasons, the second-highest mark for any quarterback in his first two seasons in league history.

Since then, though, his legacy has been more mixed as he has had difficulty with ball security. He has led the Saints, along with tailback Alvin Kamara, to a terrific start this season.

He will meet Jalen Hurts, who is considered an elite quarterback but now has some questions to answer after a 10-1 start for the Eagles last year ended with an 11-6 thud, as well as a wild-card playoff embarrassment in Tampa Bay.

The Eagles did score 34 in their opener, so their offensive future looks bright as well. Expect a high-scoring affair down in the Crescent City this week.

Detroit Lions (-3) at Arizona Cardinals

When: Sunday, 4:25 pm ET

Kyler Murray just led the Arizona Cardinals to a demolition of the L.A. Rams last week.

He found Marvin Harrison Jr for just four catches, but the rookie phenom turned those catches into 130 yards and two scores.

Murray had three passing touchdowns before halftime, making it look like the return of the dynamic playmaker who had the Cardinals rolling back in the 2022 season before an epic second-half collapse that ended in a horrendous playoff loss…to those same Rams.

Next up is a date with the Detroit Lions, who looked tentative and even bumbling in their loss to Tampa Bay last week.

Jared Goff had a great 2023 season for the Lions, but is Father Time catching up with him? I like the Cardinals not just to cover but to win this game, and I like Murray to carve up that Detroit secondary.

Quarterbacks Power Rankings for the 2024/25 Season
 

If you think starting quarterbacks don’t matter in the NFL betting – whether you’re talking about sports betting or just overall competition – it’s likely that you haven’t watched the league since the 1970s.

The last generation has seen such elite quarterbacks as Tom Brady, Payton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes turn the game into a passing league.

Understanding the importance of quarterback play helps inform a wide variety of wagering decisions, including where to wager on point totals, taking on player props at quarterback (and wide receiver or tight end), and even picking what kind of touchdown will happen first in a game (passing, rushing, special teams or defense).

Check out our NFL power rankings at quarterback as well as thoughts about how they can affect your wagers.

NFL 2024: Quarterback Power Rankings and Betting Analysis | NFL Odds

 

1. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) NFL 2024

Mahomes has won three Super Bowls, including the last two. He’s also won the last two Super Bowl MVP trophies.

He can gain yards with his legs, he can throw across the field off his back foot, and he can improvise on the run. There is no better player in the game today.

 

2. Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals) NFL 2024

Joe Burrow has gotten the Bengals to the AFC Championship or the Super Bowl in his two healthy seasons. The offensive line is revamped, and he is healthy again.

 

3. Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) NFL 2024

He won last season’s regular-season MVP, making him the 11th player ever to win more than one of those. He threw for a career-best 3,678 yards, and he ran for 821 more.

He threw for 24 scores and ran for five more. But can he show that MVP form in the postseason?

 

4. Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) NFL 2024

He has 4,000 or more passing yards in four straight seasons, with an average of 34.3 touchdowns per year.

However, he throws too many pics – 47 over the last three seasons, including a career-worst 18 last year.

 

5. Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles)

Hurts did set career marks with 3,858 passing yards and 23 passing touchdowns. He ran for 605 yards and 15 more touchdowns.

The 15 interceptions were unsightly, though, and that has to improve.

 

6. Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys)

He completed almost 70 percent of his passes last year, throwing for 4,516 yards with a career-best 36 touchdowns against just nine interceptions.

No other quarterback had 30+ touchdowns while holding picks to single digits. It’s the playoff blunders that hurt his reputation.

 

7. Justin Herbert (L.A. Chargers)

Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are gone from the wide receiver room. Tailback Austin Ekeler is also gone.

The additions at those skill positions are not comparable. Jim Harbaugh seems like he wants to make this a run-first team. How much will Herbert thrive?

 

8. Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins)

Why isn’t Tua higher on this list? A lack of durability. His first 17-game season was 2023, and he led the NFL with 4,624 yards and threw for 29 touchdowns.

 

9. Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers)

Love figured out how to replace Aaron Rodgers just in time, leading a late winning streak that got the Packers into the playoffs and saw Loe undress the Dallas defense.

 

10. Aaron Rodgers (N.Y. Jets)

Rodgers faces high expectations after spending most of the 2023 season rehabbing a torn Achilles. He won regular-season MVPs in 2020 and 2021. Does he still have that with him?

 

11. C.J. Stroud (Houston Texans)

Stroud led Houston to an AFC South title as a rookie, throwing for 4,108 yards with 23 touchdowns against just five picks. That was before Stefon Diggs showed up in the wide receiver room.

 

12. Matthew Stafford (L.A. Rams)

Even though he’s 36, Stafford still has one of the strongest arms and toughest dispositions in the NFL – that’s how he guided them to the playoffs.

 

13. Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers)

Purdy might be better than a few of the quarterbacks above him – he threw for over 4,000 yards with 31 touchdown passes against just 11 picks. It does help that he has Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk running routes and Christian McCaffrey pounding the ball.

 

14. Jared Goff (Detroit Lions)

The Lions should contend at an elite level again this year. Will Father Time catch up with Goff, though, or will he either match or improve his stats from 2023 – 4,575 yars, 28 touchdowns, 10 interceptions—?

 

15. Kirk Cousins (Atlanta Falcons)

Cousins blew out his Achilles in Week 8 last year and took his talents to Atlanta in the off-season. He should be able to break 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns.

 

16. Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars)

Lawrence has an incredible 2022, but 2023 brought him back to earth a bit. He got a five-year deal worth $275 million in the off-season, so we’ll see how that affects him.

 

17. Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals)

Murray blew out an ACL in 2022, and the rehab lasted until the last 11 games of last season. The offense has tailback James Conner and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. What will Murray do with this?

 

18. Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

2024 was Baker’s year. He set career marks with 28 touchdown passes and 4,044 passing yards, leading the Bucs to an NFC South title and a home win in the wild-card round last year.

 

19. Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns)

Watson has played a dozen games for Cleveland; in 2023, he played six games due to injury. The rest of the roster is outstanding, and they went to the playoffs after using five different quarterbacks last year.

 

20. Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks)

Smith is 33 and entering the last year of his contract. He went 2-5 against postseason qualifiers last season, and the division is more competitive this year.

 

21. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears)

The preseason has shown Williams’ ceiling. The regular season could show his floor.

 

22. Derek Carr (New Orleans Saints)

Remember when Carr guided the Raiders to an AFC West title – and then got injured and could not play? He’s still got that high ceiling – just too many interceptions.

 

23. Anthony Richardson (Indianapolis Colts)

He’s got a cannon of an arm, and it’s all strength and athleticism at this point. He got knocked out of four different games last season, so he’s going to have to learn how to manage the risk/reward part of running the ball.

 

24. Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders) NFL 2024

He won the Heisman Trophy last year in college – but how many Heisman Trophy winners have flamed out in the NFL? He’s an exciting player to watch, so we’ll see how the pro game treats him.

 

25. Russell Wilson (Pittsburgh Steelers)

Wilson threw for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions last year – not shabby numbers. The Steelers like to run first with Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris, so Wilson could thrive.

 

26. Gardner Minshew (Las Vegas Raiders)

Minshew has three seasons with 15+ touchdown passes with fewer than 10 picks. The Colts almost made the postseason with him last year. He has Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers running routes for him this year.

 

27. Will Levis (Tennessee Titans)

DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks are a solid pair of wide receivers for the second-year QB out of Kentucky. Now Calvin Ridley joins them, along with tailback Tony Pollard. Levis has the skill players, so now the O-line needs to help him out.

 

28. Bryce Young (Carolina Panthers) NFL 2024

Young had very little skill around him last year. In the off-season, they added receiver Diontae Johnson via trade and Xavier Legette in the draft. But how much better will Young be this year?

 

29. Daniel Jones (N.Y. Giants)

He played just six games last year thanks to an ACL tear, and his preseason has been wobbly.

 

30. Jacoby Brissett (New England Patriots) NFL 2024

For some reason, Brissett will open the season as QB1. It won’t be long before Drake Maye takes over.

 

31. Sam Darnold (Minnesota Vikings)

Darnold is the QB1 by default after J.J. McCarthy tore his meniscus and saw his season end. Darnole was a third overall draft pick back in the day, and he has Justin Jefferson running routes.

 

32. Bo Nix (Denver Broncos)

Nix shouldn’t stay at the bottom of this list long. His preseason looked promising, and he beat Jarrett Stidham for the starting job.

 
Quarterback Odds, July 23, 2024
 

Is the quarterback the most important player on a team? In most cases, the quarterback is the public face of the franchise. The ball is in his hands on every offensive play and for that reason, here at Xbet we are preparing for the best in NFL Betting!

It’s his job to find the playmakers on the field and get them the ball, whether that means turning and handing the ball off or firing a pass down the field.

In the case of a team like the Detroit Lions of the 1990s, who had perhaps the best tailback in that era, Barry Sanders, the lack of a quarterback who could consistently lead drives down the field cost them playoff appearances.

In today’s era, it’s all but impossible for a team to ride its defense and running game to a Super Bowl.

Let’s look at some of the top quarterbacks as you consider your NFL Betting – not just for game outcomes but also for individual performances, whether in weekly props or in fantasy drafts.

Must-Watch QBs: NFL Betting & Expert Analysis for the 2024 Season | NFL Odds

Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes?

Obviously, Mahomes has delivered in terms of wins, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.

He has the Chiefs gunning for what would be an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl win.

If you are playing in a fantasy league that has bonuses for things like 300+ passing yardage games and gives more points for passing touchdowns than for rushing touchdowns, then Mahomes is the pick.

However, Allen will have an edge if passing and rushing touchdowns are legal.

Why? Because the Bills got rid of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis in the off-season, which means Allen has an entirely new wide receiver crew, while Mahomes still has Travis Kelce as an outlet in case Rashee Rice faces a lengthy suspension.

Allen gets a lot of short-yardage rushing touchdowns, and he will make big plays down the field.

Jalen Hurts

Hurts led his team to an 10-1 start before they fell off the table and finished 11-6.

However, his numbers were decent in a number of areas, including rushing touchdowns (15).

The “Brotherly Shove” formation has brought a lot of success in short-yardage situation, although it will be interesting to see how well it works without center Jason Kelce, who has retired.

Also, the arrival of tailback Saquon Barkley should take some of the rushing pressure off Hurts.

This could mean that he avoids injury and can put up gaudy passing numbers all season long.

The Eagles definitely have the O-line and the receivers to make that happen.

Anthony Richardson

Richardson only started four games and played 173 snaps as a rookie, because of several injuries, including the one that brought his season to an end in Week 5.

However, in terms of both passing prowess and running, he showed a crazy amount of potential.

Expect his learning curve to remain steep for a while, though, as he shakes off the rust, gathers himself for another season of NFL-level physicality, and learns how to read NFL secondaries.

Brock Purdy

Purdy came in seventh last year in standard fantasy football scoring.

He has a reputation for being more of a bus driver than a dynamic franchise quarterback, but the fact is that he is accurate and will stand in the pocket and put the ball through tight windows down the field.

We don’t know if Brandon Aiyuk will be running routes for him; Aiyuk will be in camp but has also requested a trade. Without Aiyuk, Purdy’s production may drop a bit.

Jordan Love

What about Love? Yes, he got hot down the stretch and had two terrific playoff games – the rout over Dallas and the surprising poise he showed in San Francisco, guiding the Pack to a late lead in the divisional round before the pressure of the moment (and the 49ers’ defense) got to him.

However, he didn’t put together a full season of solid execution, and all three of the Packers’ divisional foes upgraded their secondaries.

 
Odds for Quarterback, July 1, 2024
 

NFL Betting On Quarterbacks. When it comes to landing a top-flight franchise quarterback, few teams have been as desperate recently as the Atlanta Falcons.

After finally moving on from Matt Ryan, we’ve seen them cycle through Desmond Ridder before, in the same off-season, inking Kirk Cousins to a mammoth deal and drafting Michael Penix Jr early in the first round.

The Indianapolis Colts have also been desperate in recent years, trying to replace Andrew Luck with everyone from Phillip Rivers to Carson Wentz to…Matt Ryan, before taking the plunge on a rookie with Anthony Richardson last year.

As you plan your sports betting for the NFL season, take a look at our updated quarterback rankings.

NFL Betting Quarterback Power Rankings Ahead of Week 1

 

The New GOAT

Yes, that title used to belong to Tom Brady, but now it belongs to Patrick Mahomes. He had a lot less talent around him in 2023, and he still led the Chiefs to a comeback win in the Super Bowl.


 

NFL Betting The Contenders

Lamar Jackson is the defending NFL MVP who put up an 83.0 Pro Football Focus passing grade in 2023, the best of his career. He set a career high with 4,102 passing yards, while continuing to run the ball at an elite level.

Joe Burrow is back from a 2023 season marred by a calf strain in the early going and a torn wrist ligament in his throwing hand that ended his campaign. When he is healthy, though, Burrow is immune to pressure and deadly with his passing accuracy.

Josh Allen led the NFL in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (18) and had the second-most first-down carries by a quarterback (66). He is unique in terms of strength, size and speed. Can he get the interceptions down?


 

Postseason Quality

Justin Herbert lost Keenan Allen and Mike Williams in the off-season. He got a new head coach in Jim Harbaugh who wants more of a run-first approach. He did have the third-best PFF passing grade under pressure (68.9) last year, behind Dak Prescott and Jackson.

Dak Prescott posted an 89.8 PFF passing grade during the regular season, trailing only Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa, and under pressure he led the league with a 73.5 mark. Poor decisions and a semi-vertebrate defense doomed the Cowboys, but Prescott took the heat.

Matthew Stafford posted an 83.8 PFF passing grade during the regular season, which ranks seventh, at the age of 35. His arm is still a cannon, and even if the distance is shrinking a bit, he can put the ball in tight windows.

Aaron Rodgers is a big wild card going into 2024. His Achilles is all better, but what does he still have in the tank? He was the MVP in 2020 and 2021, and he has to stay top-ten going into the 2024 season.

Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to a 10-1 start…and to an 11-6 finish. He set career marks in passing yards and touchdowns…as well as lost fumbles and interceptions. He did have at least 10 rushing touchdowns for the third season in a row. He didn’t seem as explosive as he was in 2022, so there are some questions about his health going into this season.

C.J. Stroud had the rookie campaign that everyone thought Joe Burrow would have before his ACL tear. He had the third-most completions of at least 20 yars (32), and his touchdowns and passing yards were all in the top half of the NFL. Leading clutch drives will keep you in the starting job, and Stroud knows how to do that.

Jordan Love led the Packers on a romp in Dallas, knocking the Cowboys out in the wild-card round of the playoffs. He was second in passing touchdowns during the regular season, and after Week 7, his PFF passer rating was 90.4 as he figured out ball placement and accuracy.

Brock Purdy led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, thanks to a 78.3% adjusted completion rate, which landed him in the top five. He takes more risks with the ball than he gets credit for, and he has accuracy down the field.


 

NFL Betting Next Year’s Champions

Trevor Lawrence has shown periods of elite play, but he needs to string them together before we consider him a regular postseason contender. He had 21 total turnovers in 2023, a number that needs to drop.

Tua Tagovailoa had the lowest time in the pocket of any starting quarterback (2.33 seconds), but he still had an 88.9 PFF passing grade in the regular season, tops in the NFL. Ironically, he made most of his turnovers when he wasn’t under pressure.

Kirk Cousins keeps putting up great numbers, but his teams don’t go anywhere. He did have his 2023 cut short when he tore an Achilles tendon after eight games. Now he’s 36 years old and heading into play with a new season. Can he push that streak of PFF passing grades above 80.0 to seven?

Jared Goff led the Detroit Lions to the NFC Championship – and a 17-point lead in that game over San Francisco. He had an 85.2 PFF passing grade in 2023, the best of his career. His turnovers were down. However, his play when under pressure is still a problem, and when the 49ers turned up the heat, he wilted.

Kyler Murray had a decent eight-game season in 2023 as he returned from an ACL tear. Before his ACL tear, though, his 2022 season had been poor. Which Murray will we see in 2024?

Geno Smith had solid seasons in 2022 and 2023. However, the numbers conceal some concerning trends. He started 2022 playing terrific ball, but the second half was a problem with ball security. In 2023, he also struggled with ball security, but he finished the season strong. He’s 33, and he still hasn’t answered the question about being a franchise quarterback.

Baker Mayfield had an up-and-down 2023 until the last four games, when he put the Buccaneers on his back and carried them to an NFC South title. In the playoffs, he engineered a dismantling of the Philadelphia Eagles. Will that Mayfield show up again in 2024?


 

Questions to Answer

Caleb Williams might quickly climb this list – but then again, he might not. He has solid wide receiver talent around him in Chicago, which isn’t a sentence we write very often.

Derek Carr has had a PFF passing grade between 77.5 and 83.5 in four of the last five campaigns.Last year, he had 25 touchdown passes against eight picks. His numbers aren’t bad, but it’s been a long time since he delivered in big games.

Russell Wilson looked awful in his first season with Denver and then just human in his second – much like he looked in his last season in Seattle. That means it’s been three full seasons since we’ve seen him play at an elite level. Is he an improvement over Kenny Pickett in Pittsburgh? We’ll see.

Deshaun Watson has the largest contract in NFL history but has done nothing but disappoint the Cleveland Browns. Thanks to suspension and injury, he has played six games apiece in his two seasons on Lake Erie, and he had surgery on his throwing shoulder last season. Is he healthy? Can he bounce back?


 

NFL Betting Quarterbacks of the Future?

Anthony Richardson played four games in 2023. At times, he showed elite talent, both with his arms and his legs. However, his concussions and other injuries showed that he needs to learn how to manage contact in the NFL. Hopefully he also spent time in the off-season working on timing and accuracy.

Bryce Young was one of the few quarterbacks to beat C.J. Stroud last year. However, his PFF passing grade (52.6) came in 41st among qualifying quarterbacks (there are just 32 starters). However, he had a dreadful roster around him, so he wasn’t able to hide his lack of strength and size as easily as he did at Alabama.

Drake Maye put up some huge throws in college the last two years. Expect for that gunslinger mindset to produce some big plays in the NFL…and some backbreaking turnovers as he negotiates the learning curve.

Jayden Daniels just won the Heisman Trophy and will likely start Week 1 for Washington. He can run well and has a cannon of an arm. His offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, did pretty well with a similar quarterback out in Arizona, until things fell apart.

Will Levis had four touchdown passes in his starting debut last year (Week 8). His arm strength is not in question, but his decision-making must improve.


 

NFL BettingTime to Go?

Daniel Jones finished behind Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito in PFF ranking last year. Those two quarterbacks were the others on the Giants depth cart with him. He only played six games.

Gardner Minshew will compete with Aidan O’Connell for the starting job in Las Vegas. O’Connell had better efficiency and a higher adjusted completion percentage.

Sam Darnold should start for Minnesota while J.J. McCarthy learns the offense. Darnold got some starts in Carolina this past season but still doesn’t look like a franchise quarterback.

Jarrett Stidham has only gotten above a 56.0 PFF passing grade once in his NFL career. It won’t be long before Bo Nix gets the starting job in Denver.

 
Quarterback Odds, June 3, 2024
 

The NFL has been a pass-first league for a couple of decades now, which means that a team’s fortunes largely depend on its quarterback. Even great quarterbacks can’t win without a solid O-line and quality skill players at tailback and wide receiver, but the reason why so many regular-season and Super Bowl MVP trophies go to quarterbacks is that the offense goes through their hands each play. As we approach training camp this summer, let’s look at some of the top quarterbacks to keep our eyes on as we start formulating NFL betting strategies for the season.

NFL Betting News: Top Quarterbacks to Watch in 2024

#1 Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs

Until someone stops the Kansas City Chiefs and can shut down this offense, Mahomes will be on top of the rankings. Yes, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stomped the Chiefs in Super Bowl in LV, but Mahomes had an O-line in front of him that had neither starting tackle due to injury, so he spent the game running for his life. While Mahomes has a transcendental arm – he can make pinpoint throws down the field while dancing instead of setting his feet – his greatest strength is his adaptability. When receivers aren’t open, he can pull the ball down and run, but even while he’s scrambling, he can whip the ball into the second level of the defense.


 

Betting 2024 NFL #2 Brock Purdy San Francisco 49ers

Who knew that Mr. Irrelevant from the 2022 draft would be so high on this list after a season and a half as the starter in San Francisco? You can say that it’s really the work of Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle making Purdy look great, but remember that four-game slump last year, when Purdy lost his edge and started throwing interceptions? The 49ers lost all four of those games. Then he found his mojo again and started managing the pocket well. He can also throw on the run, although he’s not as mobile as Mahomes. He’s gotten the Purdy to two NFC Championships in his two seasons, reaching the Super Bowl once.


 

2024 NFL #3 Josh Allen Buffalo Bills

The pluses with Josh Allen include a cannon of an arm, his bruising running style, and the fact that he can make any throw on a football field. The minuses have to do with his daredevil mentality. He believes he can make any throw, which means he forces the ball into windows where defenders end up waiting for the ball to get there. With a basic overhaul of the wide receiver group underway in Buffalo, it will be fascinating to see how that new chemistry works.


 

NFL #4 Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow basically lost his first season and his most recent season to injury. He bounced back from his rookie-season injury to lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl. How will he recover this time? He does best when he can sit in the pocket and pick his opponents apart. Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase are expected to be back, which means he has one of the top wide receiver pairings in the league. The team also upgraded the O-line, so expect him to have the Bengals contending once again.


 

NFL Betting #5 C.J. Stroud Houston Texans

Just one season into his NFL career and C.J. Stroud is listed among the elite quarterbacks. He showed in his rookie campaign that he can hit receivers accurately down the field and also keep his head when the speed of the game comes right at him. The team added Stefon Diggs to a receiver group that already had Nico Collins and Tank Dell, and with Dalton Schultz at tight end, he has four quality options on the field. The defense got some upgrades as well. I expect the Texans to defend their AFC South crown and get two wins, and maybe even three or four, in the playoffs this time around.


 

2024 the NFL #6 Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens

How did the defending regular-season MVP slip to #6 on this list? Yes, he was back to his elite self in 2023. However, the fact that the Chiefs were able to hold the Ravens to 10 points in the AFC Championship was telling. Jackson still doesn’t have a terrific wide receiver group around him as the Ravens’ front office continues to overlook that need. Adding Derrick Henry at tailback should unlock the running game significantly, keeping defenses from loading the box and focusing on Jackson. Getting some legit deep threats would make this team even better.

2024 March Madness Odds: Unranked Teams that could become NCAA Tournament Darlings

It happens just about every year in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament – a team with a double-digit seed makes a deep run into the March Madness bracket, drawing the attention of the nation.

These teams are called Cinderellas, dancing late into the night until midnight strikes and their run comes to an end. In 2024, it was the N.C. State Wolfpack, who entered their conference tournament with a 17-14 record but rolled to a tournament title – and an automatic bid into the Big Dance as ACC Tournament Champions.

They made it all the way to the Final Four before their luck ran out. In 2023, it was 15th-seeded Princeton, who knocked off second-seeded Arizona and seventh-seed Missouri to get to the Sweet 16.

In 2008, a young Steph Curry led tenth-seeded Davidson to the Elite Eight, taking down Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin along the way before falling to top-seeded Kansas.

Virginia Commonwealth rode an 11-seed all the way to the Final Four in 2011 before another dark horse – eighth-seeded Butler – ended their run there. Butler would fall to Duke in that tournament final.

As you start to think about sports betting and the college basketball season, it’s time to start looking around for some teams outside the AP Top 25 for the 2025 Cinderella. Take a look at some of these possibilities.

 

Which Unranked Teams Could Become 2024 March Madness Darlings?

 

Grand Canyon Antelopes

The Grand Canyon Antelopes won 30 games in 2023-24. They made the Big Dance as a 12-seed and knocked off fifth-seeded Saint Mary’s (CA) in the Roun of 64. Tyon Grant-Foster is back as one of the top pure scorers among mid-major players. Ray Harrison, Collin Moore, and Duke Brennan return to the starting rotation, giving Grant-Foster some help along the way. In the frontcourt, JaKobe Coles (TCU) and Dennis Evans (Louisville) have come through the transfer portal, and Sammie Yeanay is the top recruit GCU has ever brought to campus.

^
 

Saint Mary’s Gaels

And what about Saint Mary’s? The Gaels lost two starters through the transfer portal as Aidan Mahaney headed to UConn and Joshua Jefferson went to Iowa State. Mitchell Saxen is back in the front court, and Augustas Marciulionis returns for his senior season in the backcourt. Mikey Lewis is an intriguing freshman prospect, and Paulius Murauskas (Arizona) will join Luke Barrett in the starting rotation. Coach Randy Bennett averages more than 23 wins per season, and 2024-25 should be no different.

^
 

UAB Blazers

UAB got to the NCAA tournament for the second time under head coach Andy Kennedy, led by Yaxel Lendeborg, an interior presence who cranks out double-doubles and was the AAC Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-AAC honoree last season, is back. So is Efrem “Butta” Johnson, who improved tremendously in his second season. Eric Gaines is gone from the backcourt, but Tyren Moore (Georgia Southern) transferred in to run the point. He led the Eagles in points per game (17) and assists (3.1) last year. The experience is there to run one of the top offenses in the AAC.

^
 

McNeese State Cowboys March Madness

McNeese State is making noise in the Southland Conference. Will Wade improved the Cowboys from 11 wins in 2022-23 to 30 last year. Brandodn Murray (LSU) has transferred in, as has Quadir Copeland (Syracuse), who was the Orange’s sixth man last season. Sincere Parker (St. Louis), Alyn Breed (Providence), Jerome Brewer (Texas A&M-Commerce), and Joe Charles (Louisiana) have also come to jump-start the Cowboys’ roster. D.J. Richards Jr and Christian Shumate are also back, giving the roster veteran experience.

^
   

Bradley Braves

Bradley has not made the NCAA tournament since 2019, but this could be the year they end that streak. Top scorer Connor Hickman transferred to Indiana, but First Team All-MVC honoree Duke Deen is back. Darius Hannah left the bench to make a difference as a starter returns in the paint along with Christian Davis. Among mid-majors, Bradley was one of the top shooting teams in the nation. If that continues, they could run away with the Missouri Valley Conference.

If you’re looking at the WCC for mid-major intrigue beyond Saint Mary’s, take a look at San Francisco. Chris Gerlufsen enters his third year at the helm after seeing Jonathan Mogbo leave for the NBA. Malik Thomas and Marcus Williams have returned to the backcourt. Inside, 7-footer Carlton Linguard (UT-San Antonio) has transferred in, and Ndewedo Newbury returns for the starting rotation. Jason Rivera-Torres (Vanderbilt) also adds length and physicality inside through the transfer portal.

First-year head coach Alan Huss led High Point to a 27-9 record. The team scored almost 84 points per game, the ninth-highest total in the nation. Top scorer Duke Miles transferred to Oklahoma, but Kezza Giffa (16.2 points per game) and Kimani Hamilton (14.9 points, 7.2 boards) are back. D’Muarian Williams (Texas Tech) and Bobby Pettiford Jr (Kansas) are transfer players who have banged around in Power 4 conferences and have experience playing at a high level.

^
 

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

Western Kentucky has a new head coach in Hank Plona after Steve Lutz went to Oklahoma State. The departure of a head coach can wreak havoc on rosters as top players want to follow their head coach, but Plona was able to convince the top scorer from last year, Don McHenry, to remain with the Hilltoppers. They lost Brandon Newman to graduation, but Terrion Murdix (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi) will take his spot in the backcourt. Murdix was the 2022-23 Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year but missed all of 2023-24 due to injury. Having him back and healthy will help WKU contend in Conference USA.

^
 

Arkansas State Red Wolves

Arkansas State now has Bryan Hodgson, formerly Nate Oats’ head recruiter at Alabama, as head coach. Hodgson has the Red Wolves ranked in the top 50 in composite recruiting classes. The top recruit is three-star center Josh Hill. Kobe Julien (Louisiana) brings elite scoring through the transfer portal. Derrian Ford and Taryn Todd return for Arkansas State as the team expects to improve significantly from its 20-win, 2023-24 finish.

^
 

Princeton Tigers

Princeton finished 24-5 last year, but losing to Brown in the Ivy League Tournament semis ended up sending the Tigers to the NIT, where they crashed out in the first round. Xaivian Lee and Caden Pierce made significant second-season improvements last year and have returned after putting up almost 44% of Princeton’s points last year. Deven Austin will return from injury, and Dalen Davis and Blake Peters will have more involvement.

^
 

Towson State Tigers

Towson State has hit the 20-win mark three straight seasons, and bringing a solid core back has them poised to jump to the next level. They have an unusually balanced offense – no player averaged more than 11.0 points per game, but five averaged between 9.0 and 10.9. Christian May had a terrific second season and returns, and Tyler Tejada and Dylan Williamson are back after solid first seasons. Improving offensive efficiency will help the Tigers contend in the Colonial Athletic Association this season.

^
 

South Florida Bulls

How will South Florida respond after the sudden passing of head coach Amir Abdur-Rahim? In his first season, he improved the Bulls from 14 wins to 25. The Bulls won the regular-season AAC title and made it into the AP Top 25 in the first part of March. The transfer portal took Chris Youngblood (Alabama), Selton Miguel (Maryland) and Kasean Pryor (Louisville) away, but Kobe Knox and Jayden Reid remain for now and should help the team continue progressing. De’Ante Green (Florida State) transferred in as did Quincy Ademokoya, who played for Abdur-Rahim at Kennesaw State. Watch the team’s early performance to see if they’re still worth following this year – they open on November 4 against the Florida Gators.

Cowboys at 49ers: Sunday Night Football Betting Odds & Predictions for Week 8

NFL Game Odds: Cowboys vs 49ers SNF | Remember at the end of the 2023 NFL season, when Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he was “all in” for 2024?

The team failed to sign key replacements at tailback, cornerback, and linebacker, as well as valuable depth players. They ended up overpaying for extensions for quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Dallas Cowboys are 3-3, winless at home with a -42 point differential. Wins at Cleveland, N.Y. Giants, and Pittsburgh, with close victories over Giants and Steelers.

Their home losses have been routs at the hands of a New Orleans Saints team that hasn’t won since and the Detroit Lions, along with a loss to Baltimore that was also a rout until the Ravens fell asleep in the fourth quarter.

With the trade deadline coming on November 5, there are rumors that the Cowboys are about to be sellers instead of using that $22 million in cap space to help them win now.

Jones has chosen to keep his wide receivers, hinting at a potential rebuild in 2025. The Cowboys will have to navigate expensive contracts for Prescott and Lamb. Help won’t arrive in time for their game against the struggling 49ers in San Francisco.

Dallas comes out of the bye to face a 49ers team that has just lost star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and still doesn’t have tailback Christian McCaffrey. Deebo Samuel and George Kittle both missed practice on Wednesday as the 49ers look to heal.

Can the Cowboys take advantage, or will they end up on the wrong end of another ugly score? Read on to get our sports betting prediction.

Dallas Cowboys SNF Line +172

The Cowboys should be glad to get on the road because AT&T Stadium has been a house of horrors for them. After the 47-9 beating they took from Detroit two weeks ago, the Cowboys are 0-3 at home this season and, including last season’s wild-card embarrassment against Green Bay, they’ve gotten undressed in front of their own fans four straight times. They’ve become the first team since at least 2000 to trail by at least two touchdowns at halftime in four straight home games, including the playoffs.

Last 4 Games

If you go back to that loss to the Packers, the Cowboys have trailed by a combined 110-35 at the half in their last four home games. They’ve allowed 167 total points in those four games, the third-worst total in any four-game set of home games in the history of the league. The Dallas defense gave up a 52-yard score on a flea-flicker play from Jared Goff to tight end Sam La Porta. On offense, Dallas turned the ball over five times, including a pair of interceptions from Dak Prescott, who finished with the second-lowest passer rating of his career (42.2).

Even with all of this bad news, the 49ers have a lot of key players who will either be on the shelf or well below 100 percent for this game. Also, Dak Prescott has a 13-8 career mark in SNF games. A player who could stand out is tailback Rico Dowdle. The San Francisco defense has allowed running backs to average five receptions and 41 yards per game. Dowdle has receiving touchdowns in two of the last three games.

CeeDee Lamb

The San Francisco defense should focus on Lamb, which could leave Dowdle open for some wheel routes and other opportunities on Sunday night. It’s also worth noting that the bye week has helped defensive starters DaRon Bland and Micah Parsons get healthy and back into the lineup. Given how many people are missing on San Francisco’s offense, they could struggle enough for Dallas to stay close.

^
 

San Francisco 49ers SNF Line -216

The 49ers should be smarting for some revenge after losing to Kansas City, 28-18, at home on Sunday in a Super Bowl rematch. You might think that the Chiefs torched the San Francisco secondary, but it was the run defense that let the home team down on Sunday. Kansas City ran for 184 yards and scored four rushing touchdowns. The defense also stood tall, picking off Brock Purdy three times.

Patrick Mahomes only threw for 154 yards, the second-lowest total he’s posted in a game that he played from start to finish. On the ground, though, he had a 33-yard scramble and then finished on fourth-and-goal, running in from a yard out and trucking safety Malik Mustapha in the process.

The Offensive

On offense, the 49ers couldn’t get much done; Brandon Aiyuk was carted off the field with a torn ACL in his right knee. Purdy went 17 of 31 for 212 yards. He scored a pair of rushing touchdowns, but had those three picks, including a backbreaker in the end zone at the midway point of the fourth quarter.

The Streak

The 49ers have a three-game winning streak in their rivalry with Dallas, including wins in the playoffs at the end of the 2021 and 2022 seasons and a regular-season rout during 2023. They’re also 3-0 ATS in those wins. The 49ers are just 1-2 with a rest disadvantage on the season, and they do have a lot of injuries, which we’ll enumerate later on. However, even with the Cowboys having a bye week ahead of this showdown, there’s little to suggest that Dallas will have an answer for Jordan Mason at tailback.

The Defense

The Dallas defense has allowed an average of 150 all-purpose yards per contest to opposing tailbacks, who have scored nine touchdowns. Mason had a hard time finding running room against Kansas City, but the Cowboys’ defense shouldn’t offer any similar resistance. Even if the rest advantage helps Dallas get off to a more energetic start, the Cowboys’ inability to make in-game adjustments is likely to turn an early advantage into a disappointing finish.

Cowboys at 49ers SNF Final Score and Prediction in Week 8

Cowboys Injuries

For the Cowboys, we know that wide receiver Brandin Cooks and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence are out. Cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Caelon Carson, linebackers Eric Kendricks and Micah Parsons, and offensive tackle Tyler Guyton are all listed as questionable, but I would be surprised if all five of those players don’t end up suiting.

49ers Injuries

For the 49ers, tailback Christian McCaffrey has been upgraded from “out” to “doubtful,” but I’d be shocked to see him take the field. Tight end George Kittle is questionable, as is kicker Jake Moody and, as are wide receivers Jauan Jennings and Deebo Samuel.

When the Cowboys headed to Pittsburgh three weeks ago, I thought that the advantages that the Steelers had in terms of coaching and leadership would make up for the fact that quarterback Justin Fields is still finding his way in the NFL.

The Cowboys were able to take advantage of some turnovers and timely penalties to keep the game within reach and win a one-score battle. Brock Purdy is struggling for San Francisco this year, but he has bounced back in previous years and should be ready to go in prime time.

I predict a final score of San Francisco 27, Dallas 20.

Divisional AFC South Rivalry: Colts at Texans Betting Lines, Prediction for the Week 8 – 2024 Season

NFL Game Odds: Colts at Rams TNF | Indianapolis QB Anthony Richardson is unique in the NFL with his size, speed, and low completion percentage below 50. He is the only current starter with this start, along with a few others in the last 20 years.

He went 10 of 24 for 129 yards on Sunday as the Colts edged out the Miami Dolphins, 16-10. His pass completion percentage for, 2024 now stands at 48.5%, and he has an ugly 3:6 TD:INT ratio. His team is 4-3, but he still looks like an extremely rough prospect as a passer.

The quarterback went 10 for 24, 129 yards in a 16-10 win against the Dolphins. His pass completion rate is 48.5% in 2024, with a 3:6 TD:INT ratio. Despite a 4-3 record, he remains a raw passer.

 

NFL Game Odds: Colts at Texans in Week 8 | NFL 2024/25 Season

When: Sunday, October 27, 2024, 1:00 pm ET
Where: NRG Stadium, Houston
TV: CBS
Radio: 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis / KILT 100.3 FM Houston
Live Stream: Amazon Prime Video
Opening NFL Game Odds Subject to Change: Houston -5 / O/U 45.5

Flacco is likely the quarterback to play if the Colts want to win in 2024, but the team also has visions of the cannon arm that Richardson displayed at the combine before they drafted him and on a huge bomb in Week 1.

Since 2000, only seven quarterbacks have had completion percentages below 50% with at least 200 passing attempts. Mark Brunell reached a conference championship game, but the others like Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, J.P. Losman, Mike McMahon, JaMarcus Russell, and Tim Tebow had little success.

And in 2012, only Drew Stanton in 2017 attempted over 150 passes with a completion rate below 50% among quarterbacks listed.

In 2024, the only other quarterback with at least 100 attempts and a completion percentage below 61% is Jacoby Brissett, who is now on the bench in New England. How long does Richardson have? We will see.

This week, he leads the Colts down to Houston for an AFC South showdown that will attract a lot of sports betting interest. Don’t miss our preview!

^
 

Indianapolis Colts Line +186

Sunday’s win over Miami marked Richardson’s return to the field after missing almost three full games with a right hip injury. He led his team to a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter to get the win. Tyler Goodson scored his first NFL touchdown on a seven-yard scamper to knot the score at 10 shortly after halftime. The Colts won their fourth game in five weeks and, at 4-3, are just a game back of Houston.

Week 1 Result

The Texans won the first meeting between the two teams up in Indianapolis in Week 1. It certainly helped the Colts’ cause that the Dolphins had a pair of backup quarterbacks running their offense. Tyler Huntley started the game in relief of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), but he had to leave in the third quarter, and Tim Boyle finished the game. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins’ high-octane receivers, each had a catch, and the duo combined for just 19 receiving yards.

Indianapoli are 4-1 straight up in their last five games as underdogs in Houston. The Texans also have a four-game home losing streak against divisional opponents who come in on a winning streak. They have also gone 0-9 against the spread in their last nine games when they were favored to win after losing the previous week on the road. If you like the Colts this time, you see Richardson and Taylor doing damage on the ground – and you also see Richardson doing a better job with accuracy and ball security.

^
 

Houston Texans Line -234

The team had a great shot at reaching 6-1 last week, but the Green Bay Packers got a last-second field goal from Brandon McManus to win at Lambeau Field, 24-22. Houston forced three turnovers on the day (two picks and a fumble recovery), and they also got 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns out of tailback Joe Mixon. However, C.J. Stroud got sacked four times and went just 10 of 21 for 86 yards, a career low. The game actually had seven lead changes, but the Texans were not able to turn their positive turnover margin into a victory because of the struggles in pass protection.

How does the team arrive?

Also, five defensive starters were out – Mario Edwards Jr was serving a suspension, and safety Jimmie Ward, cornerback Kamari Lassiter, and linebackers Henty To’o’To’o and Azeez Al-Shaair were all on the shelf. On offense, wide receivers Nico Collins and Robert Woods were out, along with kick returner Steven Sims. This would have been the Texans’ first four-game winning streak in six seasons if Houston had been able to make their 19-14 halftime lead stand.

The Texans has an eight-game winning streak in games following a loss. When the Colts have been underdogs between 3 ½ and 7 points, they have an eight-game losing streak going straight up. Houston has covered in six of their last seven October games. Given the fact that Indianapolis could only manage 16 points against a Miami team that didn’t have its starting quarterback, I expect to see Houston dominate time of possession and control the pace of the game from start to finish, particularly after that disappointing loss.

^
 

NFL Game Odds: Colts at Texans Final Score and Prediction in Week 8

Indianapolis Injuries

For the Colts, both defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and tailback Jonathan Taylor are coming back from high ankle sprains and were limited in practice on Wednesday. Players that did not practice at all included defensive end Genard Avery (foot), wide receivers Josh Downs (toe, groin) and Michael Pittman Jr (back), offensive tackle Braden Smith (knee), cornerback Chris Lammons (ankle), linebacker Jaylon Carlies (shoulder, fibula) and center Ryan Kelly (calf).

Houston Injuries

The Texans, safety Jimmie Ward, wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) all were held out of practice. Offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle), defensive linemen Will Anderson Jr (chest) and Foley Fatukasi (shoulder), cornerback Kamari Lassiter (shoulder), and linebacker Henry To’oTo’o (concussion) were all limited.

Indianapolis are at an odd juncture in terms of the rebuild cycle. They have a stout defense, and they have an elite tailback in Jonathan Taylor. You could argue that Taylor might actually be on the downward side of his career arc, given his length of time in the league and the injuries he has already suffered. However, they are at the beginning of what seems like a potentially long learning curve for Richardson.

They’re going to stay with the second-year signal-caller this week, and the Texans will make his life miserable. On the offensive side of the ball, Mixon showed that he’s healthy and ready to dominate on the ground, which should set Stroud up for a bigger day.

I predict a final score of Houston 34, Indianapolis 16.
