OffshoreInsiders.com CEO Joe Duffy breaks down key intel for week 15 NFL betting. 

  • Road teams on grass off a game in which they were held to single-digit points and less than 125 rushing yards are 75-24-3 on grass. This favors New England over Miami

  • Cowboys star RB Zeke Elliot questionable-to-probable after missing practice ThursdayTea leaves say mostly a precaution, so we think he’ll play
  • Panthers superstar RB Christian McCaffrey doubtfulPanthers play Saturday night

Margin of cover is a long-time tool of original cappers used to measure the reliability of the often deceptive ATS and OU records. It is much like margin of victory, except it measures margin relative to the point spread or OU. With over-under, “overs” are listed first. Some Johnny-Come-Lately handicappers call this the sweat barometer.

OHIO STATE +5 Purdue

Oddsmakers overreact to E.J. Liddell probably being out. One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found them covering at a rate 64 percent, with O-H winning by a point. Another top model has our side covering 59.8 percent. KenPom has Purdue winning by just a point. Of course I am concerned about the injury, but look for Buckeyes to make zone adjustments and stay within number at Bet Now

Florida, Trask Odds Plummet; Conference Championship odds Posted

Kyle Trask was the overwhelming favorite to take home Heisman honors just a few weeks ago. Now, Trask trails the quarterback he’ll oppose next week in the SEC Championship. 

Mac Jones is the Heisman favorite with -200 (or 1-2) odds at SportsBetting  

Trask is second on the board at 3-1 while Alabama wideout Devonta Smith is ahead of the other QBs from the nation’s top teams at 10-1.

The preseason favorite, Trevor Lawrence, has seen his odds fall to 14-1.

Florida’s loss to LSU no doubt hurt Trask’s Heisman chances, and the Gators saw their national championship odds take a hit as well. Their odds went from 12-1 last week to 80-1, currently. 

If Florida can somehow beat Alabama as a 16.5-point underdog this weekend, Trask and the Gators could be back in the Heisman and CFP hunt. 

Below are odds for the CFP Championship, Heisman Trophy and conference championship games.

CFP Championship 
Alabama 5-7 
Clemson 5-2 
Ohio State 5-1 
Notre Dame 8-1 
Texas A&M 40-1 
Iowa State 50-1 
Oklahoma 66-1 
Cincinnati 80-1 
Florida 80-1 
Northwestern 80-1 
Coastal Carolina 200-1

Heisman Trophy
Mac Jones 1-2

Free college basketball pick is:

IOWA -13 Iowa State

Iowa State is a bad team and has nobody to match up with Luka Garza, the top player in the country and Iowa big man. Jalen Coleman-Lands is the only decent athlete on ISU, but he’s 6-4 and can’t keep up with the speed of Iowa. Iowa State was losing by three at halftime to Arkansas Pine-Bluff, one of the worst teams in the country. They were beaten at home by a middling South Dakota State team. Now they take on an Iowa team outscoring foes by 27.8 ppg including beating North Carolina by 13, tonight’s spread. 

Iowa State has no true point guard since lost Tyrese Haliburton. They didn’t replace his scoring either. Iowa will crush them with speed, then beat them down low with gross mismatch with Garza. 

One of the dumbest myths is sports is the adage to take the double-digits in big rivalries. Pure balderdash. It means Iowa will be very focused against inferior team and have no compunction to run up the score against a recruiting rival. What’s more effective in recruiting than saying don’t consider that program, we crushed them by 30? We bet at GTBets

RICHMOND -8 Northern Iowa at Bovada

Richmond covers an impressive 66 percent of simulations on our top model, winning 83-69. Yes, I have said many times I’ll take talent over experience. However, in 2020 where teams have limited practice time, the fact the Spiders are a veteran time is huge. They run a modified Princeton offense, which requires patience, experience, faith in teammates. They have been running it with precision as a unit for some time. They have five guys averaging double figures. This is even more important this year because it shows they can play well as cohesive unit. 

It takes similar qualities to defense, but Northern Iowa has had their share of guys in and out of lineup. A.J Green is their best player and is doubtful. They are also without Antwan Kimmons and Tytan Anderson. Yes, they got Trae Barlow back, but just his second game back and first against a quality foe. He came back against a D2 foe. He missed time because of Covid. 

Jacob Gilyard is lightning quick for Spiders and poor defense of Northern Iowa. They have nobody to guard him. Austin Phyfe likely to guard Grant Golden and he’s horrible. 

Redskins Upset Win Over Steelers Turns Coach and Comeback Player of the Year Odds Upside Down

The Washington Football Team pulled off a massive upset against the undefeated Steelers on Monday, and some of their personnel are reaping benefits in the arena of projected accolades.

Alex Smith solidified his frontrunner position as the Comeback Player of the Year over Ben Roethlisberger, and Ron Rivera gained ground on Mike Tomlin in the Coach of the Year race.

SportsBetting has updated its odds for the primary NFL awards categories (MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year and Coach of the Year) which you can find below. 

Going into Week 13, Rivera had 30-1 odds to be named the league’s best coach. But his chances dropped to 20-1 after a gutty performance at Pittsburgh. 

Smith has been the odds-on favorite for Comeback Player of the Year for a few weeks, and his odds jumped to -1500 after Monday’s comeback victory.

T.J. Watt and Aaron Donald are neck-and-neck for the DPOY honor, but Myles Garrett is gaining ground. 

Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert remain the favorites for MVP and ROY, respectively. Get daily winners at OffshoreInsiders.com and get paid on time at SportsBetting
