The National Football League (NFL) is easily the most popular sport in the United States, especially when it comes to betting. NFL betting puts up the biggest numbers every single year, and bettors are always looking for new betting options.

The NFL was founded all the way back in 1920 in Canton, Ohio, and that is where the Hall of Fame is located to this day. There were only a handful of teams in the league when it first started, but it didn’t take long for the league to grow.

There are now 32 teams in the NFL, and the league is broken up into two conferences and eight total divisions. Since the league just continues to be more and more popular, the league has added an extra regular season game for each team to play in.

NFL teams now play 17 total regular season games, and then the top seven teams in each conference advance to the postseason. The NFL regular season begins in September, and the Super Bowl is now played during the month of February.

When it comes to the NFL, the Super Bowl is the event that draws the most betting attention. This league isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s actually started to become more of an international competition.

Los Angeles Angels vs Tampa Bay Rays Betting Pick & Prediction 4/17/24

If you want to talk about the concept of "incentive," the Seattle Seahawks don't have a heck of a lot to play for on Sunday, unless it is for the purposes of improving their seed in the NFC playoffs. Yes, there is a scenario by which Seattle could have home field advantage throughout, or at least get to the #2 position. But we wonder whether that is enough for them to bypass the opportunity to rest some starters at some point during their game against the San Francisco 49ers, which takes off at 4:25 p.m. Eastern time at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The Seahawks have clinched the NFC West and carry an 11 - 4 record into the proceedings (8 - 7 against the points). They can actually claim the top seed in the NFC if they win and the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers lose their respective season finales. And perhaps hosting playoff games at CenturyLink Field after a first-round bye is a pretty good formula for them to get to the Super Bowl.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, that was exactly where the Niners were last season, but it just didn't seem in the cards for them this year. No team in the NFL was as ravaged by injury as they were, and if you listen to head coach Kyle Shanahan, it started at The Meadowlands when the new turf fields they put in was problematic, causing knee and Ankle injuries. That's a long story, but at one point or another, there have been close to two dozen players in the starting lineup out of action.

That includes quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, whose backup, Nick Mullens, also suffered a season-ending injury. So last week the 49ers went with CJ Beathard, who had starting experience with them, and he led them to a victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Jeff Wilson, practically the only healthy running back they have left, had 153 yards on the ground. So this team has not given up yet. And that is something Seattle has to be keenly aware of.

Enter the NFL odds that have been posted on this game by the folks at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, Seattle is the heavy road favorite:

<strong>Seattle Seahawks - 7 (-105)</strong>
<strong>San Francisco 49ers + 7 (-115)</strong>

<strong>Over 45.5 points - 110</strong>
<strong>Under 45.5 points -110</strong>

In the previous meeting, on November 1st, Seattle registered a 37 - 27 victory, and the two teams combined for 51 first downs, despite a total of only 153 rushing yards. That is surprising, considering that both of these coaches love to run the football. We do have to recognize, however, that while San Francisco ran the ball 51.4% of the time last season, that figure is down to 42% this year. On an overall basis, Seattle has been running less as well, but they have been raising those numbers in recent games. In fact, they have called 47% running plays over their last three contests, and Chris Carson has some pretty good numbers right now, despite injuries, as he has gained 637 rushing yards with 4.9 yards per attempt.

Russell Wilson was the subject of a lot of MVP talk in the early stages, but he's pretty much out of the picture now, despite his team's division title. His completion rate of 69.7% is the best of his career, and with his next touchdown pass he will establish a career high in that department. But he has also thrown 13 interceptions, which ties the most he has had in one season.

One of the strengths of the Seahawks is their ability to convert red-zone opportunities. They are third best in the NFL with 74.5% touchdowns when they get inside the opponent's 20-yard line.

However, they are not the scoring machine they were earlier in the season, and that is perhaps why the awards talk for Wilson has kind of fizzled. Seattle scored more than 30 points in seven of its first eight games, but over the last seven games, the Seahawks have exceeded 28 points only once. The by-product of this is seven straight games that have gone under the total.

You want to give San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh also a lot of credit, because it seems that all season long he's had very few starters available, yet the Niners have managed to post very respectable numbers. For example, their defense is fourth-best in the NFL in yards allowed on a per-drive basis, yielding less than 30. Four of their six wins have come as an underdog, and let's not forget that they have swept the Los Angeles Rams, which has made life a lot more difficult for Sean McVay. While they are on a neutral field in Arizona, due to local restrictions on contact sports back in Santa Clara, this is now feeling very much like home. We would not be surprised if this game was decided by no more than a field goal, so we are comfortable taking the points.

NFL Odds & Preview -- Niners Play For Pride Against Seahawks on Sunday

<div><span style="font-size: large;">Many people struggle with patience, and not just in life, but gambling. We want what we want and we want it now. In baseball, it can be dangerous to be impatient. When we're <a href="http://bangthebook.com/nfl/"><strong>betting the NFL</strong></a>, most of us wait until and hour or so before the game to see the "inactive" list, and yet we won't wait in baseball. And in baseball, the lineups are typically out at least several hours before the first pitch.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">If we tie it back to football, we often ask how many points a particular player is worth. Unless it's the quarterback, usually not enough to move the line. However, if Bryce Harper is sitting it will move the Nationals line as much as .30-.40 and it should. Harper would be 12.5% of the lineup, assuming the pitcher is essentially and out in the NL without a DH. Remember that this isn't the same game as years ago when Lou Gehrig played 2156 straight games. People rest now. Except perhaps Cal Ripken.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, there were only three players to play in every game in 2016. And  of catchers, who are essentially the quarterbacks, only about half of them played in 100 games. That is a key position for a couple of reasons. Usually teams have one catcher that's a better hitter than the other, and almost always one is far better at throwing out base runners. The latter is magnified when they've got someone on the mound who doesn't keep runners close, and that was something I was able to use a lost when Jon Lester had David Ross catch every game.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">Lester obviously felt comfortable with Ross, but because of Lester's inability to hold runners close coupled with Ross' inability to throw runners out, teams ran on him at will. In almost a similar amount of innings caught, teams stole almost twice as many bases off of Ross/Lester than they did Varitek/Lester. So, when the Cubs played running teams that could get on base against Lester we almost always took them, if for no other reason than the fact that the Cubs are usually over valued to begin with.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">So, with Varitek, it was the complete opposite and we would often look at the "under" as well. It doesn't take too many runners getting thrown out to ruin a rally. And it doesn't take much for that one run to make a difference in the end. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">The point is that if you've done the work and you know these nuances, wait for the lineup. A team like the Cardinals when LaRussa was managing were notorious for resting everyone on short notice, not unlike what Popovich does with the Spurs during the regular season. And of course we wait for that, so let's wait for lineups. That's magnified even more in day games following night games, so do your homework and take nothing for granted and you'll be in a position to win more. That's of course after you've shopped for the best number, which we addressed a bit yesterday and will again. That you can take for granted!</span></div>

Election 2020 -- Biden Still Favored....But Trump Closing

Politics Betting -- Trump vs. Biden Odds: What You Can Wager on Right Now

<p>The final week of the NFL preseason begins on Thursday, August 25, when we have two games on the schedule, including this inter-conference duel, so make sure you don’t miss the best 49ers vs. Texans betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Both San Francisco and Houston are looking to conclude the preseason at NRG Stadium with a win and with a perfect record after they won their first two games this summer. The 49ers are -3.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 41.5 points. These inter-conference rivals faced met once in 2021, and the Niners won that game 23-7 in San Francisco.</p>



<p><strong>49ers to field their starters in the preseason finale</strong></p>



<p>The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 and Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, covering each time. The Niners’ defense was rock-solid in a 17-7 win over Minnesota as they kept the Vikings to just 195 total yards and forced three turnovers, while the offense totaled 344 yards. It was 7-6 for the Vikings after the first three quarters, but San Francisco scored 11 points in the final 15 minutes.</p>



<p>Quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Nate Sudfeld split time on the field, and the latter threw a lone TD pass to JaMycal Hasty in the fourth quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that he will play his starters in Houston, but it remains to be seen how long they will be utilized before backups take over. Still, we should see Trey Lance in action after missing the last game. He did play a bit in San Francisco’s opening game of the preseason.</p>



<p><strong>Texans scored a late TD to beat the Rams</strong></p>



<p>The Houston Texans improved to a 2-0 record in the preseason as they defeated the reigning champions Los Angeles Rams. Jeff Driskel threw a touchdown pass to Mason Schreck with a minute remaining to make it 24-20. Interestingly, each of three quarterbacks recorded a touchdown pass, including starter Davis Mills, who completed ten of 17 passes for 96 yards and a score.</p>



<p>In the first two games of the preseason, the Texans’ pass rush was impressive as it registered 11 sacks on 16 pressures. Only in the win over Los Angeles, Houston had six sacks and 11 QB hits. Allowing 33 points in two games is a good sign for Lovie Smith, who is a new head coach in town, and must be pleased with the way the Texans have been playing.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>San Francisco:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-0 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>4-0 ATS in the last four road games</li><li>4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings</li></ul>



<p><strong>Houston:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-10 ATS in the last 13 Thursday games</li></ul>



<p><strong>San Francisco 49ers vs. Houston Texans Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Niners can rely on their starters in this one and I expect to see some good possessions, particularly in the first half. On the other hand, Davis Mills and Houston's offense seem mediocre, and unless the Texans’ defense displays another heroic performance and forces multiple turnovers and gets 5+ sacks, I don’t think the hosts have a chance. Houston failed to record more than 176 passing yards in its two preseason games, and I don’t believe they will surpass 200 yards here. I will lower the spread a bit as I don’t want to lose my bet if the 49ers win by exactly three points.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the 49ers at -2.5 (-135)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>I mentioned Houston’s mediocre offense, which couldn’t get more than 275 total yards in the first two preseason games, and I am backing the Niners to keep them under 300 on Thursday. Trey Lance will likely move the chains with ease for the visitors, but we have to keep in mind Houston’s sturdy defense that limited the opposing offenses to under 280 total yards this preseason. Under is 7-1 in the 49ers’ last eight games overall, while Under is 5-1 in San Francisco’s previous six road games.<strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 41.5 points (-110)</p>

Two teams that've positioned themselves squarely in the playoff hunt, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals meet at Capital One Arena. The puck drops at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 4, and you'll be able to witness this divisional matchup live on NBC Sports Network.
<h2>Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals Odds</h2>
Philadelphia (+135) is currently the underdog to Washington (-155), and oddsmakers have set the Over/Under (O/U) at 7 goals. The odds for betting that total sit at -105 for the over and -115 on the under.

Washington is 40-25 straight up (SU) and has earned moneyline bettors 1.1 units this year. That winning percentage, the league's third-best so far in the early season, is fairly close to what the team posted during the 2018-19 season (48-34). Among its 65 games this season, 40 have gone over the total, while 23 have gone under and just two have pushed. The team's 18-14 SU at home this year.

The Capitals have converted on 20.3 percent of their power play opportunities this season, a figure that's right around league average. On the other hand, their penalty kill is ranked fifth overall, and they've successfully killed off 83.3 percent of all penalties.

As a team, the Capitals have been whistled for penalties 4.2 times per game overall this season, and 4.8 per game over their last five games. The team has had to kill penalties for 8.7 minutes per game over their last 10 matchups, overall.

Averaging 26.0 saves per game with a .898 save percentage, Braden Holtby (25-20-5) has been the primary goalkeeper for Washington this year. If head coach Todd Reirden decides to rest him, however, Washington could turn to Ilya Samsonov (16-9-9 record, .917 save percentage, 2.40 goals against average).

John Carlson and Alex Ovechkin will each be focal points for the Capitals. Carlson (73 points) has tallied 15 goals and 58 assists and has recorded multiple points in 23 different games this year. Ovechkin has 45 goals and 18 assists to his name and has recorded a point in 36 games.

Philadelphia has earned 10.4 units for moneyline bettors this season and is currently 38-27 straight up (SU). A total of 35 of its matches have gone over the total, while 28 have gone under the total and just two have pushed. As an away team, the Flyers are 15-18 SU.

The Flyers have converted on 21.5 percent of their power play opportunities this year, a mark that's right around league average. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked 14th overall and it's successfully killed off 81.3 percent of all penalties.

Philadelphia's players have been penalized 3.5 times per game in total this season, and 4.2 per game over their last five on the road. The team's been forced to defend opponent power plays just 8.1 minutes per game over their last 10 outings.

Carter Hart (2.51 goals against average and .909 save percentage) has been the primary option in goal for Philadelphia. Hart is averaging 22.8 saves per game and owns a 22-18-3 record.

For the visiting Flyers, the offense will be facilitated by Travis Konecny (23 goals, 37 assists) and Sean Couturier (21 goals, 37 assists).

It is a quiet night in the sports world on October 22. The World Series takes a break and with only two football games on the card, bettors are going to flock to those standalone contests. We’ve got two different viewpoints on Giants vs. Eagles for your reading pleasure <a href="http://bangthebook.com/thursday-night-nfl-betting-eagles-navigate-injuries-as-they-host-giants/699048/"><strong>here</strong> </a>and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/ny-giants-vs-philadelphia-eagles-thursday-night-football-pick-prediction/699039/"><strong>here</strong></a>.

Now let’s take a look at the Week 8 lid-lifter in college football between Arkansas State and Appalachian State. Per our friends over at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker</strong></a>, App State has been bet up to a 13.5-point favorite with a high total of 68. This is only the seventh time as an FBS member that App State has had a total higher than 65 in one of its games. The under is 4-1-1.

We’ll break this one down from both sides and see if we can find a play on the Thursday Nighter.
<h3><strong><u>Arkansas</u></strong><strong><u> State</u></strong></h3>
With regards to the total, it is worth pointing out that Arkansas State is one of the fastest teams in the country from a tempo standpoint. They ran 96 plays in last week’s barnburner and offensive showcase against Georgia State in the 59-52 win with a total of 73. That win moved Arkansas State to 3-2 straight up and 4-1 against the number. They are also 4-1 to the over.

The two-quarterback rotation for Arkansas State has served the Red Wolves well. Logan Bonner is 76-of-119 for 938 yards with 11 touchdowns against three interceptions. Layne Hatcher is 62-of-98 for 896 yards with a 10/1 TD/INT ratio. Both guys have been sacked seven times, so Arkansas State has had some protection concerns through five games, but they’ve mostly been moving forward.

Arkansas State is third in number of plays among teams that have played five games so far this season. They’ve averaged 6.44 yards per play. On the defensive side, they’ve allowed just over six yards per play.

The running game stats have been dragged down by two quarterbacks that lack mobility, but primary rusher Jamal Jones only has 4.4 yards per pop on his 58 tries. That could mean more carries down the line for Lincoln Pare, who has 30 rushes for 179 yards.

Early-down success will be a big deal for Arkansas State here. They rank 50th out of 77 teams in third-down conversion rate at 38.96%. Their opponents rank seventh, but they only have 35 third-down attempts.
<h3><strong><u>Appalachian State</u></strong></h3>
You cannot handicap this game without considering the long layoff for the Mountaineers. The reason why they only have 35 third-down attempts is because this will be just the fourth game of the season for Appalachian State. They haven’t played in 26 days. Meanwhile, this is the fourth game in 19 days for the Red Wolves, who have been able to stay sharp.

App State has a new head coach this season in Shawn Clark, who was the interim head coach for last season’s New Orleans Bowl triumph over UAB. The Mountaineers lost on the road at Marshall as a 6.5-point favorite, but do have wins over Charlotte and Campbell. What they don’t have to this point is an ATS win, failing to cover -17, -6.5, and -35.5. App State has averaged 6.4 yards per play in those three games.

As always, the Mountaineers have a strong rushing attack behind a stable of backs that includes Daetrich Harrington and Camerun Peoples. To this point, App State has averaged 5.7 yards per carry as a team. Thomas is more mobile than the Arkansas State options, but he only has two touchdown passes against two interceptions to this point. In fairness, top wide receiver Corey Sutton opted out of the season. Thomas Hennigan has picked up the load, but Sutton was the big play guy and led the team with seven receiving scores last season.

Defensively, the Mountaineers have allowed 5.15 yards per play. They gave up 5.41 yards per play to Marshall in the 17-7 loss in Huntington. This game will be about App State’s ability to keep the play in front of them. Arkansas State has 85 plays of 10+ yards and 10 plays of 40+ yards, so they move it in chunks. Generally speaking, App State has been great at that, allowing fewer than five yards per play on average over the last four seasons.
<h3><strong><u>Pick</u></strong></h3>
My favorite pick here is Arkansas State +7.5 in the first half at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a>. Arkansas State plays at a breakneck pace. It may take some time for App State to get up to game speed after 26 days off and after playing Campbell in the most recent game. The Mountaineers also played a very deliberate Marshall offense.

As far as a full-game lean, let’s see if we get a full 14 on Arkansas State. Public bettors will bet the team they know and that is Appalachian State in this standalone spotlight game. If Arkansas State gets to 14, I’ll likely have a piece. For now, +7.5 first half is the play.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

A busy day of basketball is on the docket with March Madness, plus some continued action over in the NIT, where one top seed has already gone down and another has had a big scare. As everybody shouts from the rooftops, “THIS IS MARCH!”

We’ll take a look in this preview at the late game between Lone Star State teams featuring Abilene Christian and Texas. The Longhorns are favored by 8.5 with a total of 140 per the fine folks at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a>. Many will probably look at this line and believe it is too short for the Big 12 Tournament champs and the champions of the Southland Conference.

Let’s do a deep dive and see if that is indeed the case.
<h3><strong><u>Abilene</u></strong><strong><u> Christian Wildcats</u></strong></h3>
Abilene Christian would have been the favorites in the Southland Conference even if Stephen F. Austin wouldn’t have announced a postseason ban. The Lumberjacks were set to be banned from postseason action next year, but appealed to the NCAA to do it this season instead and were given the green light to bow out.

The Wildcats beat Nicholls State 79-45 in the championship game after receiving a bye to the semifinals. They beat Lamar 93-71. The Southland Conference is not very good, as we all know, and the league’s third-best team, Sam Houston State, was knocked out by Lamar. There are still some intriguing things about this ACU bunch.

For starters, nobody in the country had a higher TO% on defense than Joe Golding’s team. Abilene turned opponents over at a 26.7% rate for the season. Teams had trouble shooting the basketball against Abilene with a 29.1% success rate from three and a 46.3% success rate from two. Obviously you have to take those numbers with a grain of salt given the conference, but as we’ve seen time and time again, sometimes the teams coming from these low-major conferences are legit. Just ask Ohio State for their thoughts on the Summit League.

This is an experienced team with a lot of length and a lot of depth. Seven-footer Kolton Kohl is a monster on the glass and a pretty efficient shooter in the paint. Kohl’s presence also allowed the Wildcats to get some good looks from three, shooting 37.7% in the process. Don’t sleep on this team.

If there is one worry about Abilene, aside from the strength of schedule disparity, it would be that the Wildcats foul a lot. They’ve had some games with extremely high free throw rates for the opposition, including a 51-44 loss to Texas Tech back on December 9 and their March 2 win by two over Stephen F. Austin.

<h3><strong><u>Texas</u></strong><strong><u> Longhorns</u></strong></h3>
Texas may not have won the Big 12 Conference Tournament last week, but caught a break because Kansas was unable to play due to COVID-19 protocols. Instead, Texas only had to play twice and beat Texas Tech by a point and then beat Oklahoma State 91-86 to cut down the nets and probably improve by a line in the seeding discussion. This is a Texas team that has had some ups and downs, but five of their seven losses have been in games decided by six or fewer points.

In other words, they’ve basically been in every game. They have eight Quad 1 wins. Abilene Christian played two games above Quad 3 and lost both. There are some concerning things about this Texas team. One is that Shaka Smart’s defense, which is universally known for forcing turnovers, has not done that this season. Texas has a negative TO% with a 20.2% rate on offense and a 17.8% rate on defense. They’ve also shot under 71% at the free throw line, which could make the difference in covering given where this spread sits.

Texas is a pretty good offensive team, though, with a top-80 mark in both 3P% and 2P%. The Longhorns are also a pretty solid defensive squad, holding opponents to just 45.8% on two-point attempts. That was, of course, against a much tougher schedule than what Abilene was forced to face.

Since Shaka Smart’s Final Four run with VCU in 2011, his teams have not gotten past the second round. He’s struggled in this format and Texas has been one-and-done twice. This is probably his best Texas team over his six seasons, but he’s been rather underwhelming in Austin if we’re being honest. There is a fair amount of pressure on him and his team in this game.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
It will be paramount for Texas that they take care of the basketball in this game. The Southland Conference is not known for ball security by any means, so Abilene’s TO% is pumped up a little bit, but this is still an aggressive defense and teams don’t change their spots when they get to this point.

Abilene could succeed in speeding Texas up a tad and this looks like a game ripe for transition points and also a high number of free throw attempts. Texas enters the game 291st in FT Rate against. Abilene is 333rd. I think this one has a good chance at going over 140.
<h4><strong>Pick: Over 140</strong></h4>
