Dodgers Heavy Favorites Over Braves; Also Favorite to Win World Series

With the NLCS set, oddsmakers were quick to post a line for the series, and they’ve made the Dodgers sizable favorites against Atlanta.

The initial series line from SportsBetting set L.A. as a 1:2 favorite.

NLCS Odds –

Atlanta Braves    +160    (8-5)
Los Angeles Dodgers    -200    (1-2)

In a hypothetical ALCS matchup, the Yankees would be -180 favorites over the Astros (+160). In the other scenario, the Rays would be -155 favorites over the Astros (+135).

The Dodgers started the MLB postseason as World Series favorites, and after sweeping San Diego, nothing has changed.

World Series Odds (will update after tonight’s game)

Los Angeles Dodgers     +175     (7-4)
New York Yankees     +375     (15-4)
Atlanta Braves     +400     (4-1)

Mike Evans Injury Update, Tampa vs. Chicago Betting Picks Update and Breakdown

Tampa travels to Chicago to take on the Bears. The Buccaneers are 3-1 SU, 2-1-1 ATS, going over 3-1. The Bears are also 3-1 SU, but 2-2 ATS, splitting totals at 2-2.

Odds: Tampa is -3.5 with a total of 44.5 at NFL live lines. It opened at -3 and 45.5. Home underdogs with a winning percentage of .750 or better are 76-59-3 including 61-42-3 getting 2.5 or more, 39-22-3 with three or fewer wins.

Public betting percentages: Substantial splits are on the side as 78 percent of bets on are on Tampa, but 78 percent of money on the Bears. Many say this implies sharp money on the home underdogs and it is rare the share is this divergent. The total is almost as compelling with 65 percent of bets on over, yet 66 percent of cash on under.

Power ratings: Our power ratings have Tampa -.5 with a total of 47.5 and a projected 24-23 victory by the road team.

Computer simulations ATS and OU: One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found Tampa projected to win 23-21. The Bears covered 54 percent of simulations with the under at 53 percent. Another has the power ratings of Tampa -4 with a total of 47. Tampa covered 51.9 percent of simulations with it going over 56.5 percent of the time.

Against the spread trends: Tampa 4-0 road favorites, 19-40 after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game. Chicago 1-8 loss and 4-12 overall.

Over-under trends: Tampa over 8-0 after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game, over 8-0 off spread loss. Chicago under 16-5 grass.

Top expert pick on today’s card is from Joe Duffy. Yes, the last 33 days haven’t been as great as the last 33 years. But this is the strongest weekend yet. NFC TNF Game of the Year gets you started with powerful Wise Guy.  MLB side for 2:08 ET.  Get the picks now

Mike Evans is questionable for the Buccaneers. He already has 17 catches for 230 yards and 5 TDs. It looks like he will warm up before any final decision is made. Scotty Miller is likely to play for Tampa. He has 15 catches. Chris Godwin is out. Off a spectacular season, he has 11 catches this year. Nick Foles remains the starting QB for Chicago.

Miss State-Kentucky Free Preview

It’s early, but Joe Duffy already has a big weekend portfolio up at OffshoreInsiders.com

MISSISSIPPI STATE +2 Kentucky

If you listen to VSIN no doubt you’ve heard them rightfully tout a “short road dog” angle. We know the software they use, BetLabs. Rest assured, it’s good software as many of my top systems originated there. But I perfect on a database that not only goes back much further, but also has enormous versatility. Using  with a Boolean algebra, I can eliminate times there are conflicting systems. Because college football has more systems pointing to home favorites than any other sport, this feature is invaluable. Actually, BetLabs also has this, but I still love the versatility elsewhere. Regardless, my turbo-enhanced version is 921-693-44. A subsystem takes it to 58 percent with a large sample size of 660-477-32.

One of our simulations gives Miss State 53.5-44.4 percent chance of covering at +2. Another a tiny edge to Miss State. Best power ratings have MSU winning by one. Granted, none of the simulations emphatically say the Bulldogs, but the fact all three at least lean that way is significant, which is why the line dropped.

Miss State wins at LSU +14.5, then loses home to Arkansas -16.5. Mike Leach is predictably unpredictable, so off a home loss, hitting the road, is when they will play best. Star RB Kylin Hill, who can also catch out of backfield. He was hurt early in loss last week.

Free Pick Vikings-Texans Week 4

Big weekend up at OffshoreInsiders.com Joe Duffy has a free pick on:

MINNESOTA +3.5 Houston

This is the first time Houston is favorite this season. Fading favorites that have usually been in underdogs role is 153-93-12 including 18-4 the last 22.  That being said, they’ve played KC, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. Go with the much more disappointing defense based on delta points allowed is 331-244-14. Delta points allowed is how many points they allowed relative to the oddsmakers posted team total or implied total based on the odds and spread.

Winless teams that blew at least an eight point lead the previous week are 49-24-1. Vikings led 24-12 last week against Titans.

Fading terrible teams (based on winning percentage) as favorites are 153-108-8. Vikings distraction as Titans players tested positive? If anything, just something to rally around. One simulator has Minnesota covering 52 percent, as a three-point win projected. Another has Minnesota covering 57.3 percent of time. Another power ratings has Minnesota -1.5 and projected to win by two.  We bet at GTBets

 

 

Gambler’s Preview Of Broncos vs. Jets Open Week 4 of NFL Odds

The Denver Broncos take on the New York Jets in a Thursday Night Football contest, ugly to fans, but gorgeous to bettors. Denver is 0-3 SU, but 2-1 to the number, going under 2-1. The Jets are 0-3 both SU and ATS, going over 2-1. They’ve lost all three games by double-digits. The Jets have the second worst margin of cover in the league at -10.3 points per game. Home teams not laying more than two-points are 74-61-2 ats if off three straight double-digit losses. That of course favors New York. The posted total has jumped around, but if it drops to 40.5, note that total of 40.5 or less have gone under 25-11 the last two seasons.

Brett Rypien becomes the third Bronco to start at QB this season. Denver is without Von Miller, Jurell Casey, Courtland Sutton, Phillip Lindsay and A.J. Bouye. The Jets are minus Le’Veon Bell, Breshard Perriman, and Denzel Mims.

Odds: New York is -1 and 41, pretty much straight across the board on both. It’s essentially back to where is started as New York was a P but -117 and 41 when it opened.

Public betting percentages: Though 56 percent of tickets written are on Denver, 70 percent of cash is on the Jets. A slight edge of 51 percent of bets on the over, but a whopping 90 percent of the cash is as well.

Power ratings: Power ratings have Denver -3 and 40.5 with a projected final of 21-17 in favor of the road team.

Computer simulations ATS and OU: One of the top commercial simulators has Denver winning 20-19 with Broncos covering 53 percent of the time and the under at 53 percent, though that projection is based on a total of 40. Another has the power rating of NYJ -3 and 37 with New York covering -1 at 55.3-42.7 rate. At 41 points, 61.2 percent of simulations go under to 35.2 going over.

Against the spread trends: Denver is 6-0 after getting less than 90 yards rushing their last game and 10-3 off loss of 14 or more points, also 10-3 on TNF. However, they are 8-23 after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game. New York 2-6 overall.

Over-under trends: Denver under 12-3 after allowing less than 90 yards rushing their last game,

Top expert pick on today’s card is from Joe Duffy. JDP is a solid 9-5 the last 14, including Astros in consecutive days as +140 and +120. Nobody has dominated any sport the way Joe Duffy has the NFL for decades. Duffy has a Thursday Night Football total to start a sensational week.  Get the picks now
