play: NFL 6 Point Teaser, Chiefs – Raiders OVER 46.5 / Titans – Jaguars UNDER 46

Odds/Bets: -120 (Get $30 for $36)

Book: caesars sportsbook

Hours/TV: Chiefs-Raiders, 4:30 p.m. Titans-Jaguars, 8:15 p.m. (both ABC/ESPN)

Our view: With the NFL kicking off on the final weekend of the regular season, I expect to see two very different kinds of games on Saturday.

First, Kansas City is visiting Las Vegas and gearing up to acquire the Chiefs. The NFL has decided to play the Bills-Chiefs’ AFC championship game on a neutral site, but calls it a share of the AFC’s top seed. In the wake of Dumar Hamlin’s postponing of the Bills-Bengals game Monday night when he collapsed on the field. His four wins include an escape against Denver (twice) and Houston.

Additionally, the Raiders looked sharp offensively under Jarrett Stidham in last week’s game against the 49ers, and Josh McDaniels and the Vegas coaching staff want to show once again that their faith in Stidham is justified. This feels like a shootout, and it’s a better move to tease the total down than mess with the spread.

The Titans at Jaguars are no different, with the AFC South title at stake in prime time. Tennessee is as healthy as it has been in recent months, with the exception of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is on the injured list. has become

But totals offer opportunities. First, games that have so much at stake tend to be played more conservatively in general, and the Titans’ health recovery is a defensive effort between his tackle Jeffrey Simmons and linebacker Denico He. Autry in both is as much about the defensive side of the ball as the offense. We plan to go back. That makes it unlikely Jacksonville will score anywhere near his 36 points the Jaguars scored in Tennessee last month (which is also helped by his four turnovers for the Titans).

So reduce both sums to about 46, take over in the first and under in the second.

SEC Basketball Showdown

play: College basketball, 5½ wins over Alabama and Kentucky

Odds/Bets: -105 (Get $20 for $21)

Book: Bet MGM

Hours/TV: 1 p.m. (ESPN)

Our view: what? ! This line is too low. Kentucky played five away games. They have lost four of them, with the only win coming to Michigan in London. In his three of his other four games, they have lost by his double-digit margins, including the only true player to beat Gonzaga with his 16 points and Missouri with his 15 points. Loads of his games.

Now they’re off to an impressive 2-0 start in the SEC against the undefeated Crimson Tide at home. College basketball is a fickle creature, so I’m not going to put this on my top bet today, but even the matchup seems to point to Bama. Needs the ball… thrives offensively. And if they go inside to Oscar Ziebwe, Alabama has the answer in great freshman Brandon Miller. He gets paint points on the other side, and Noah Clowney is a 6-foot-10 defensive stopper.

FA CUP UPSET SPECIAL

play: English FA Cup, Wolverhampton Three-Way Money Line in Liverpool

Odds/Bets: +800 (Get $40 for $5)

Book: caesars sportsbook

Hours/TV: 3:00 p.m. (ESPN+)

Our view: This ambitious idea is courtesy of Bayou Betts team member Gabe Henderson. Gabe Henderson has been watching English football closely and has noticed a line that might be a little too high here.

Liverpool are clearly expected to win as they play at home with one of the most talented rosters in the world and coach Jürgen Klopp, who has enjoyed previous FA Cup success.

However, Wolves came out of the World Cup break with two wins and one draw from four games (Manchester United were close 1-0). as a manager. Lopetegui has had success in his native Spain, Sevilla, where Wolves play his tight defensive style.

It’s worth an 8-to-1 flyer.

best bet friday

NBA: Nets -4 over Pelicans (Won $30)

NBA: Timberwolves give Clippers -4.5 (Won $10)

Friday Profit/Loss: +$40

Weekly total: +$118 (8-2)

Total for January: +$74 (8-4)

Total for 2023: +$74 (8-4)

Note: If the line or odds are negative, the juice required to place the bet is taken into account. Example: If team A is -160 on the money line, they must bet $160 to win $100 (or $16 to win $10). Or if Team B is -110 and the 5-point favourites, they must bet $110 to win $100 (or $11 to win $10).

Conversely, on the positive line, $100 gives $140 (or $10 wins $14) if team C is +140 on the money line.
