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.
With Ben Roethlisberger expected to retire, it’s anybody’s guess who will be the next quarterback of the fabled Pittsburgh Steelers franchise.
Head coach Mike Tomlin said all options were on the table in regards to his starting QB in 2022. The obvious choice is Steelers longtime backup and occasional starter, Mason Rudolph, and the odds at SportsBetting have him tabbed as the favorite.
Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are on the list of 18 players. Cam Newton has the worst odds on the board.
Speaking of Tomlin, he was tabbed with 7-1, or +700, odds to be the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders when odds were initially released Monday. But bets have flooded in on Tomlin and now he has the second-lowest odds at 3-1.
We’re still a few weeks away from Super Bowl LVI, but early odds for the game’s MVP are already available.
The Packers and Chiefs are favored to meet in the Super Bowl, so it only makes sense that the teams’ respective signal callers carry the lowest odds to take home the MVP honor.
SportsBetting has five quarterbacks listed at the top, then the first non-QB is Derrick Henry, who hasn’t played a snap in months.
Here are the latest Super Bowl MVP odds:
Additionally, below you will find updated regular season numbers for MVP, ROY, Coach of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year (close race).
When it comes to ATS margin, the Cleveland Cavaliers are the most dominant. The Ohio squad is 27-13-2 to the number, covering by an average of 7 points per game. Though Memphis has a similar record at 28-15, they are a distant second based on spread margin at 3.6 at sportsbooks like Bovada There is no clear-cut best team to fade, though Portland at -3.8 points per game and 15-25 ATS hold said distinction.
