In poring over college football Week 10 odds, it’s clear that bookmakers still aren’t buying into Michigan State. Sure, the Spartans’ odds to win the Big Ten and their price in the College Football Playoff odds market are shortening. But fifth-ranked and unbeaten Michigan State opened as a mere 3-point road favorite against unranked Purdue. […]
Week 9 of this 18-week NFL season has arrived, and Super Bowl odds continue to see noteworthy changes. The preseason favorite Kansas City Chiefs are no longer in the driver’s seat. In fact, the Super Bowl betting board would need to be a minivan for the Chiefs to still fit in the vehicle among the […]
Bookmakers didn’t take a Week 6-type beating in Week 7 — in fact, some spots registered noteworthy wins, as did public bettors. But there’s no time to count money, with NFL Week 8 odds on the board. The game of the week might well have been the first one, with the Green Bay Packers topping […]
As is the case every week, injuries are a key factor impacting NFL Week 8 betting odds. COVID caused some concern in the Green Bay Packers-Arizona Cardinals Thursday night game, though the Pack overcame that issue. More difficult to overcome is the prospect of Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott missing Sunday night’s game at Minnesota. […]
One thing is readily apparent with college football Week 9 odds: They’re a helluva lot better than Week 8 odds. Last week, six potential College Football Playoff contenders were laying 21 or more points. (FWIW: Those teams went 5-1 SU, 3-3 ATS.) The spreads this week are much more palatable, including in a Big Ten […]
If you’re a mixed martial arts fan, prepare to get punched in the face by big events on back-to-back weekends. This week, UFC 267 odds are the focal point, with a chock-full card set for Saturday in the United Arab Emirates. The main event pits light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz against veteran Glover Teixeira, and […]
When PointsBet USA’s oddsmakers look at the 2021 World Series odds board, to say they very much like what they see would be an understatement. Gone are the three biggest liabilities, in the Cardinals, White Sox, and Giants. Gone, too, are the next two biggest liabilities. The Dodgers and Red Sox bowed out in the […]
If there’s one thing people can and should respect, it’s honesty. And Jim McIngvale isn’t pulling anyone’s lariat when it comes to his major wagers. He’s hedging. Plain and simple. Just not in the way average Joes like us might hedge a bet. Rather, “Mattress Mack” is hedging against promotions he’s offering at his huge […]
With Week 7 of the NFL season upon us, Super Bowl odds are seeing some noteworthy changes. The preseason favorite Kansas City Chiefs are no longer in the driver’s seat — in fact, they’re not even riding shotgun. Patrick Mahomes and Co. are backseat drivers to the Buffalo Bills and defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]
As bookmakers tried to get the license plate of the Week 6 Sunday bus that crushed them, NFL Week 7 odds hit the board. Will it be a third straight week of public payouts, or will the oddsmakers get some revenge? Among the more noteworthy matchups: The defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off […]
Week 6 is in the books, but its impact lingers on with NFL Week 7 betting odds, most notably on the injury front. An AFC clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans has several players carrying the questionable tag. This week and every week, Props.com’s Countdown to Kickoff serves as a one-stop-shop for […]
There are two themes readily apparent on the college football Week 8 odds board. First, bookmakers expect a lot of butt-kickings to be administered by top-flight teams. Second, in the limited number of good matchups, three games feature ranked teams as road underdogs to unranked teams — including two top-10 outfits. One of those is […]
