The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New York Giants at 7:10 ET in the opening game of the Monday Night Football doubleheader.  The big story is the return of QB Ben Roethlisberger for Pittsburgh. Reports say he has been looking sharp in practice rebounding from another series injury. Also RB James Conner is back after missing six games with an injury last season.

Odds: Pittsburgh is -6 with a total of 45 at NFL live lines. It opened at -3.5 and 47 -115 at Betonline

Public betting percentages: The public loves their road favorites and no exception here as 74% of bets and 78% of cash is on Pittsburgh. Though 53% of tickets are on the over, 79% of money is on the under, implying a sharp bet for the under say many who study betting patterns.

Power ratings: The top power ratings have Pittsburgh winning by just a 23-20 score.

Computer simulations ATS: One simulation model has the Giants covering 50 percent of the time, but with pushes, makes them a slight lean. Likewise the other elite simulator gives a slight edge, but to Pittsburgh at 50.3-46.6, the remaining projected pushes.

Computer simulations OU: 57 percent of simulations go under according to one-program. The other agrees by a 51.3-47.3 ratio, with the remaining expected to land right on the number.

Against the spread trends: Pittsburgh is 2-7 in week 1, but so are the Giants. New York is also 3-12-1 at home,

Over-under trends: Pittsburgh has gone under 22-5 road favorites.

UTSA-Texas State OVER 57 at MYBookie where several high money, low-entry fee football betting contests are up.

With 33 years in the industry, to say the least I’ve developed more than my share of contacts. The leader of a very good syndicate that is probably the tops with “organic handicapping” told me this is their strongest bet of the young season so far. Why, Texas San Antonio will really up the tempo under new coach Jeff Traylor. Depth at WR is a strength for them. Texas State’s defense was lit up by SMU and showed little ability to pressure the QB. Sincere McCormick will keep the defense honest as he is one of the top RBs in the conference.

Texas State’s offense did seem to tire against SMU, but had overall success. Texas State’s offense is upgraded, UTSA’s will play at a faster tempo. One of our models has this game going over 55.7 percent of the time. Overacheiving defenses based on delta points allowed go over 243-205-8.  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.

College football week 1 fade the public, sportsbook betting percentages report on latest betting odds

Biggest public consensus in term of percentage of bets: Louisville 80, Texas State 79; Kansas UNDER 97

Most lopsided bets in term of percentage of money and biggest sportsbook liabilities: Florida State 95, Texas 91; Western Kentucky OVER 99, Army UNDER 99

Biggest line moves with opening odds followed by current odds: Army -16 now -21, North Carolina -19 now -23

There are several theories on how to use this information. Percentage of bets counts a $5 bet the same as a $5,000 wager. Many of those who believe in betting against the public assert the most valuable fades are from the person betting $10 on a seven-team parlay.

Some sharps declare that the bookies always win, so root for the same games they are hoping win. Thus, fading the liabilities wins most long-term. The top sports handicapper Joe Duffy explains how the sharpest gamblers exploit contrarian betting, weighing information accordingly.

After scrutinizing and researching the results for more than a year, Joe Duffy’s Picks has resolutely concluded the best picks are further enhanced by adding the top two computer simulation programs to our arsenal. His winners are at OffshoreInsiders.com

New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills sports gambling preview. Sam Darnold, who is high on the list of sportsbooks “first quarterback to get benched” props, goes against fellow youngster Josh Allen.

Odds: Buffalo is -6.5 -115 at Bovada live NFL lines with low total of 39.5. Last season, totals under 40 went under at a 15-8-1 rate. This has been the case since 2013 as all games since then with totals in the 30s have gone under 61-43-1, 59-40-1 just regular season. The game opened -6 -115.

Public betting percentages: Though 66 percent of bets are on the Bills, 56 percent of money are on the J-E-T-S, implying the dog is the sharp bet thus far. Likewise, there is a massive dichotomy in totals betting with 54% percent of tickets on over, yet 95 of money on the under. Many sharps say this is pro money on the under the total.

Power ratings: Massey Ratings expects a competitive game, giving the Bills the edge in a projected 21-17 final.

Computer simulations ATS: Strangely enough, the is massive disagreement between the two elite simulation software projections. One has the Jets covering 6.5 at a 68.9 percent to 31 percent ratio. The other has Buffalo model simulations covering a whopping 59 percent, making it a very strong computer play.

Computer simulations OU: Both programs see this game going under. One model has 73.8 percent of the simulations going under. The other agrees, but at a less eye-popping 54 percent.

Against the spread trends: New York Jets are 3-10 to AFC East. Underdog has covered 8-of-10 in the series.

Over-under trends: Buffalo under 6-1 overall. New York Jets under 5-1 overall.
