Marquette Golden Eagles vs Georgia Bulldogs NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

Sunday action in the Sweet 16 gets underway with the tournament favorite laying a large number of points. The Gonzaga Bulldogs meet the Creighton Bluejays at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis in the #1 vs. #5 game and it looks as though the overall top seed in the tourney will meet little resistance from a quality team from the Big East Conference.

Gonzaga is -13 with a total of 158 from the fine folks at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a> in the first of four Sweet 16 contests on Sunday March 28. Gonzaga has won 28 games this season and only five of them have been by fewer than 13 points. We’ll see if they can blow another team out and add another cover to what is already a stunning resume.
<h3><strong><u>Creighton Bluejays</u></strong></h3>
Say what you will about Creighton, but this is a step up in class for Gonzaga. The Bluejays are ranked 20th according to Bart Torvik. The ‘Zags have only played two teams ranked higher than that in Iowa and Virginia. Gonzaga won those games by 11 and 23, respectively.

Creighton is a really solid ballclub. Creighton’s style of play makes it tough to bet on them because the Bluejays are a jump shot offense. Their 3P Rate of 43.9% is 39th in the nation. They do a good job making those long-distance shots at 36.5%, but a team whose success is dependent on tough shots is hard to bet on, especially when you talk about playing a team like Gonzaga with incredible levels of offensive efficiency.

But, what the Bluejays do, they do it very well. They’re also in the top 10 in 2P% at 55.9%. Again, over 56% of their shots do come inside the arc and they are very good at making those. Inexplicably, Creighton is shooting 64.3% at the free throw line. How a team could be that good shooting contested or longer-distance shots, but struggle so badly at the free throw line is one of this season’s great mysteries.

Creighton did step up in class well when asked. This is a team that went 7-3 in Quadrant 1 games. While the offense for Greg McDermott’s team seems to get all the attention, this is a defense that sits in the top 35 in 2P% defense and the top 60 in 3P% defense. Creighton just didn’t force a lot of turnovers, but still sits in the top 30 in adjusted defensive efficiency per Torvik.

Creighton had some issues late in the season, as the team lost three of its last six games between the regular season and the Big East Tournament and a poorly-worded and rather unacceptable reference from McDermott caused a rift in the program that led him to offer to resign. Instead, he was simply suspended for a game.

<h3><strong><u>Gonzaga Bulldogs</u></strong></h3>
Dominance. Gonzaga basketball is equated to dominance, at least for this season. The Bulldogs have had one close call. They beat West Virginia 87-82 earlier in the season. Otherwise, every other win has been by double digits, and that hasn’t just been beating up on the West Coast Conference. Gonzaga’s non-conference scalps were Kansas, Auburn, West Virginia, Iowa, and Virginia. The Bulldogs added Oklahoma to that list in the second round and also found a way to cover the game, much to the chagrin of Sooners backers.

One thing worth pointing out here is that Gonzaga allowed 1.098 points per possession to Kansas, 1.008 to WVU, 1.037 to Iowa, 1.091 to Virginia, 1.121 to BYU in the WCC Tournament title game, and 1.029 to Oklahoma. Good teams were able to score a little bit on the Zags, but were unable to stop Mark Few’s team from lighting up the scoreboard. Gonzaga’s worst offensive performance this season was 1.028 PPP against Pacific on February 4.

In other words, their <strong>worst</strong> offensive performance was basically about as good as the opposition managed to do. Portland had a game with 13 made threes in 27 attempts and 1.116 PPP, but that was clearly an outlier and Gonzaga had its best offensive performance in that 116-88 win with 1.471 PPP.

Will Creighton get any stops in this game? Gonzaga is first in eFG% offense. The Bulldogs are first in 2P%. They are in the top 35 in 3P%. They are a solid free throw shooting team. They also push the tempo and play at a quick pace while taking great care of the basketball. This team is about as flawless as it gets.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
This handicap boils down to a few considerations. How good is Creighton? Well, that’s at the top of the list. This is the best non-conference foe that Gonzaga has seen in basically three months. Of Gonzaga’s “impressive” wins, Virginia, Kansas, WVU, Iowa, and BYU are all out of the tournament before the Sweet 16.

The second is basically a question of whether or not you want to back a Creighton team that has to shoot well from the outside. If they do, they’ll be a good bet. If they don’t, they’re losing by 15+. We have no way of knowing. Teams did make some threes against Gonzaga this season, but not consistently.

Another consideration is whether or not you want to step in front of Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are 28-0 with big, inflated lines and are 14-12 against the number.

I’ll give Creighton a shot here. The Bluejays play annually at Hinkle Fieldhouse, so they’re familiar with the lay of the land. They’re also a really good team. There are 13.5s out there, but since we cited Bookmaker for the odds, 13 is the best we can do.

<p>The 2021-22 NHL season continues Wednesday, January 12, with three games around the league, including the interconference showdown at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. We have prepared the best Maple Leafs vs. Coyotes betting pick and odds, so let’s take a closer look.</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, Toronto is a heavy -274 moneyline favorite. Arizona is a +254 home underdog, while the totals sit at 6.0 goals. The Maple Leafs and Coyotes lock horns for the first time in nearly two years, and Toronto aims for its third consecutive victory over Arizona.</p>



<h2>Toronto started a five-game road trip on Tuesday </h2>



<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs visited the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night, and their marquee interconference battle has been excluded from this analysis. The Maple Leafs opened a five-game road trip, looking to bounce back from a 5-4 overtime defeat at the Colorado Avalanche. Meanwhile, Toronto had to postpone a home contest against New Jersey due to the Devils’ COVID-19 issues.</p>



<p>Petr Mrazek will patrol the crease at Gila River Arena. He’s 2-1-0 with a 4.13 GAA and a .880 save percentage in 2021-22. Mrazek is slowly building up his form after missing six weeks of action due to a groin injury.</p>



<p>The Maple Leafs are yielding only 2.48 goals per game, enough for the second-fewest in the NHL. On the other side of the ice, they are tallying 3.39 goals per contest (7<sup>th</sup> in the NHL) on a 10.0 shooting percentage (tied-11<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2>The Yotes returned to the losing ways       </h2>



<p>The Arizona Coyotes (7-23-3) are coming off a 4-2 home defeat to the Nashville Predators this past Saturday. It was their third loss in the last four outings, as the Yotes failed to grab their second straight victory following a 6-4 home win to the Chicago Blackhawks.</p>



<p>Karel Vejmelka has guarded the cage over the previous three contests. He should get another starting call Wednesday against the Maple Leafs, as Scott Wedgewood entered the medical protocols a couple of days ago.</p>



<p>Vejmelka is 3-13-1 with a 3.30 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 2021-22. The Coyotes own the highest-scoring defense in the league, surrendering a whopping 3.79 goals per contest. They are scoring 2.18 goals in a return (31<sup>st</sup> in the NHL) on an 8.1 shooting percentage (tied-27<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Toronto:</strong></p>



<ul><li>15-5 in the last 20 games overall</li><li>9-2 in the last 11 outings as favorites&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Arizona:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-9 in the last 11 games overall&nbsp;</li><li>1-8 in the last nine games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-toronto-maple-leafs-vs-arizona-coyotes-pick">Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick</h2>



<p>The Maple Leafs shouldn’t have any problems outlasting the lowly Coyotes even though Toronto will play on the second day of a back-to-back set, coming off a tough matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights.</p>



<p>Toronto is one of the best offensive teams in the league, and I’ve mentioned how bad Arizona’s defense has been so far this season. The Coyotes have allowed four or more goals in four of their previous five outings. Their penalty-killing percentage is the fourth-worst in the league (72.2%), while the Maple Leafs boast the best power-play percentage in the NHL (30.8%).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 at -114&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>We have seen at least six goals in each of Toronto’s last 11 showings at any location, excluding their Tuesday night’s game in Las Vegas. Seven of those 11 tilts have produced seven or more goals in total, so I have to with the over in this one.</p>



<p>Four of Arizona’s last five contests have gone over the total, producing six or more goals in total each. During that five-game stretch, the Yotes have managed to score 21 goals, so I hope they’ll continue with a solid offensive performance.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 6.0 goals at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The top <a href="https://bangthebook.com/ufc-mma">UFC</a> action this weekend will be taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, and there have been some thrilling nights in that location before. UFC 307 is coming with a loaded fight card, and there are a ton of matchups that should lead to some excitement. </p>



<p>UFC not only provides some excellent entertainment, but it’s also a sport that comes with great betting opportunities. Here is a look at some of the top fights of the night, and the bets that you should look to make.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With a pair of title fights, there will be plenty of great action to focus on.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><em><a href="/s/betdsi/">GET ON UFC 370 AT BETDSI</a></em></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pereira-Rountree Jr. in Main Event</h2>



<p>The main event at <strong>UFC 307</strong> is going to be a light heavyweight title bout, and it’s the third time that Pereira is fighting to retain his belt. The other two opportunities proved just how great Pereira is, and he is a big betting favorite this weekend as well. </p>



<p>Pereira comes into Saturday night with moneyline odds at -460, or you could bet on him to win this fight in less than two rounds at -144. Khalil Rountree Jr. is a great fighter of his own, but his odds at +360 suggest that he is a massive underdog.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Rountree does come into this fight with nothing to lose, and that could actually make him dangerous against Pereira. Even though that might end up being the case, it would be foolish to bet against Pereira.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Since the best chance to cash in is to take Pereira to win the fight in less than two rounds, that’s exactly what you should do.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pennington-Pena Ready to Battle</h2>



<p>The co-main event will feature a pair of bantamweights as Julianna Pena and Raquel Pennington will fight for the belt. This is a title fight with extremely tight odds, and this could easily be the fight of the night.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pennington currently holds the bantamweight title belt, but she is going to have her work cut out for her in this one. This is a bout scheduled to go five rounds, and the odds suggest that it will take that long to finish.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is a fight that Pena has been working towards for the last few months, and she will be up to the challenge. Expect an upset on Saturday night as going with Julianna Pena at +145 (<a href="/s/betdsi/">at BetDSI</a>) is going to be the bet to make. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Fighters to Back</h2>



<p>There are going to be some other great fights that take place on Saturday, and some of the odds reflect that. It’s hard to really break down every single fight, because some of them simply feature a pair of contenders.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jose Aldo will be fighting Mario Bautista on the main card on Saturday night, and this is a chance to cash in. Aldo comes into the match with odds at +120 and that should be a bet that you have to make.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Kevin Holland is another fighter that will get a win, and his odds are sitting at -146. There is also a great opportunity to go with Lasmin Lucindo as he will get past Marina Rodriguez. </p>

<p>After qualifying 13th, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell (+1600) worked until he took the low line and the race lead at Homestead-Miami, emerging with the win and a place in the Championship Four next to Kyle Larson (+700).</p>



<p>Bell was followed to Victory Lane by Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney (+1200), 23 XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick (+1400), Hendrick Motorsports’ William Byron (+750), and Kaulig Racing’s A.J. Allmendinger (+20000), who completed the top five at Homestead.</p>



<p>Two spots remain in the Championship Four, with one of those spots all but secured by NASCAR Cup Series points leader and Championship favorite William Byron. With one truly free spot available, the pressure increases on the remaining five playoff drivers, each fighting for the final spot for the 2023 Championship finale in Phoenix.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-top-five-finishers-at-martinsville-s-spring-race">The Top Five Finishers at Martinsville’s Spring Race</h2>



<p>Two annual races and a long NASCAR history provide betting insights into potential driver performances around Martinsville’s short track.</p>



<p>Martinsville’s Spring race was won by Championship Four Driver Kyle Larson, with Team Penske’s Joey Logano (+1400), Joe Gibbs Racing’s Martin Truex Jr. (+900), and Denny Hamlin (+300), and Stewart-Haas Racing’s Chase Briscoe (+3300) completing the top five.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hendrick-motorsports-will-still-be-competitive-at-martinsville">Hendrick Motorsports Will Still Be Competitive at Martinsville</h2>



<p>While all four of Hendrick Motorsports drivers have winning pedigree at Martinsville, with Chase Elliott (+1600) and Alex Bowman (+4000 at <a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a>) winning in 2020 and 2021, we’re focusing on the team’s two playoff drivers destined for the Championship Four because they’re going to be competitive in the top-ten and fighting for the win.</p>



<p>Kyle Larson is locked into the Championship Four and has an outstanding recent history at Martinsville, having one win and three top-five finishes in five races since February 2020. Larson led the most laps and won stage one at Homestead-Miami before a crash into the pitlane water barrel barrier ended his hopes at a top-20 finish.</p>



<p>William Byron has five top-five finishes in the playoffs, only finishing outside the top ten once in eight playoff races. Byron is strong around Martinsville’s short track, having one win, three top-five, and five top-ten finishes in his last seven races in Virginia.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-denny-hamlin-and-the-joe-gibbs-racing-contingent">Denny Hamlin and the Joe Gibbs Racing Contingent</h2>



<p>Joe Gibbs Racing has one driver in the Championship Four and two drivers fighting for the final two spots, with only one driver truly in the mix for the win at Martinsville.</p>



<p>Martin Truex Jr.’s Regular Season points win is in the past, and his pole position at Las Vegas was a false dawn of performance. Despite his successful history at Martinsville, having eight finishes outside the top 15 in the last nine races means fading Truex from your betting picks altogether.</p>



<p>Our Toyota betting focus falls on Denny Hamlin, whose history at Martinsville has him the betting favorite and statistically the most likely driver to win his way into the Championship Four and his best chance to win his first career Cup Series Championship.</p>



<p>Hamlin has five wins, 18 top-five, and 24 top-ten finishes in 35 career races, with an average finishing position of 10.3 at Martinsville.</p>



<p>Despite finishing 30th at Las Vegas, Hamlin has one race win, two stage wins, and five top-ten finishes in the 2023 playoffs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-a-ford-driver-upset-the-field">Can a Ford Driver Upset the Field?</h2>



<p>Oddsmakers have Ford as a distant third for winning manufacturer. However, Team Penske’s duo of Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney have successful recent histories at Martinsville, which could provide a Ford upset on Sunday.</p>



<p>2022 Cup Series Champion and eliminated playoff driver Joey Logano has scored two top-ten finishes in his last three races. However, Logano has four top-five and seven top-ten finishes in his last seven races at Martinsville.</p>



<p>Blaney is currently third in the points standings, having two top-three and three top-ten finishes in the last four races. A first career win at Martinsville could be on tap for Blaney, who has four top-five and five top-ten finishes in his last seven races on the short track.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bangthebook-s-nascar-cup-series-xfinity-500-betting-pick">BangtheBook’s NASCAR Cup Series Xfinity 500 Betting Pick</h2>



<p>Bangthebook is picking Denny Hamlin to win at Martinsville, with Blaney, Bell, Byron, and Logano completing the top five.</p>

New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Pick & Prediction 10/25/24

<p>Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season wraps up with Monday Night Football from Lumen Stadium in Seattle, so we have prepared the best Saints vs. Seahawks betting pick and odds along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Saints are 4.5-point road favorites with a total of 42.5 points. They sit at -225 moneyline odds, while the Seahawks are listed at +185 to win straight up. These two NFC foes meet each other for the first time since 2019, when the Saints upset the Seahawks as 5-point road underdogs, 33-27.</p>



<h2>New Orleans eyes its second straight road win</h2>



<p>The New Orleans Saints (3-2; 3-2 ATS) are coming off an early bye, hoping to make it a winning streak when they face off against Seattle. Back in Week 5, the Saints defeated Washington 33-22 as 2.5-point favorites, and they haven’t still won two straight contests in 2021.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jameis Winston led the way against the Football Team, throwing for 279 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception. Marquez Callaway had four catches for 85 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while Alvin Kamara added 21 touches for 122 scrimmage yards and two scores.</p>



<p>The Saints own the ninth-highest scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 25.4 points per game. Interestingly, they are racking up only 295.2 total tards per contest (28<sup>th</sup> in the league). Jameis Winston has tossed for 892 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three picks so far this season. On the other side of the ball, New Orleans is yielding just 18.2 points per game (tied-3<sup>rd</sup>) on 79.0 rushing yards (2<sup>nd</sup>) and 275.0 passing yards (23<sup>rd</sup>).</p>



<h2>Seattle blew a huge chance in Week 6</h2>



<p>The Seattle Seahawks (2-4; 3-3 ATS) are coming off a tough 23-20 overtime loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday Night Football. They rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit, but Geno Smith’s fumble in overtime cost them a victory.</p>



<p>Smith started instead of injured Russell Wilson, who’ll remain sidelined for a few more weeks. Geno went 23-of-32 for 209 yards and a TD, while Alex Collins had 20 carries for 101 yards and a TD. Collins missed Friday’s practice due to a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Monday’s clash against the Saints.</p>



<p>The Seahawks are also without their starting running back Chris Carson (neck). They will certainly have to improve defensively after some awful displays earlier in the season. Seattle is yielding 24.8 points per game (21<sup>st</sup>) on 140.8 rushing yards (30<sup>th</sup>) and 292.3 passing yards (28<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>New Orleans:</strong></p>



<ul><li>11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 games overall</li><li>8-4 ATS in the last 12 games against the NFC West&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Seattle:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against the NFC</li><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games against the Saints&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-new-orleans-saints-vs-seattle-seahawks-pick">New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick</h2>



<p>The Saints have been pretty much a hit-or-miss thus far, but they should have enough firepower to outlast the shorthanded Seahawks. Russell Wilson’s absence is a massive blow for Pete Carroll’s boys, who desperately need a win here.</p>



<p>Geno Smith had another week to work on his chemistry with Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf, so the Saints might stand a chance if they prepare a solid game plan. New Orleans’ defensive line is doing a great job defending the opposite rushing, but when it comes to pressuring quarterbacks, it’s not as scary as it’s been over the last few years.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take New Orleans Saints -2.5 at -150&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>Since a 28-16 victory at Indianapolis in the opening week, the Seahawks have failed to hold their rivals below 20 points. Their defense has been poor for most of the time, though it has had some bright moments over the last two losses to Pittsburgh and LA Rams.</p>



<p>On the other side, the Saints have been terrific against rushing, but their passing defense is a problem. I’ll take the over, although it’s a tricky wager because of all the injuries among the Seahawks. Still, their receiving corps is healthy, so the Seahawks will rely on Geno Smith, hoping he won’t make more than one turnover.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 42.5 points at -110</strong></p>

<p>After a great night in Salt Lake City, the UFC is set to return to the APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada for another Fight Night. These are usually the events that allow some young fighters a chance to compete, but there are also some big bouts scheduled.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a great chance to find some great betting options in every single UFC event, especially if you look closely at the preliminary and main fight cards. Here are a couple of the top bouts that stand out, and the best betting options for each battle.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/mybookie">BET ON UFC FIGHT NIGHT AT MYBOOKIE</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flyweights Fighting in Main Event</h2>



<p>The main event of the night will feature a pair of great flyweight fighters as Brandon Royval will be taking on Tatsuro Taira. Even though this is the main event of the night, there does appear to be a significant gap between the fighters.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Taira is coming into this bout at -270 on the moneyline, making him a pretty significant betting favorite in this one. Royval has odds sitting at +230, and there are many that are looking to jump all over those odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It’s going to be a matter of survival for Royval as he will try to extend this fight for as long as he can. Taking him at +230 is a tempting option, but it’s best to go with Taira at -270 as he is going to get it done.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With an over/under set at 3.5 total rounds for this fight, taking the under is another great option to check out.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Middleweights in Co-Main Event</h2>



<p>The co-main event for this fight is going to be interesting to check out as well as it is going to feature a couple of veterans. Jun Young Park will battle with Brad Tavares, and this is going to be a fight that can go either way.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Tavares has gone just 1-3 in his last four bouts, and he is going to be fighting for his UFC career in this matchup. Park is a fighter that is trying to get into the ranks of a top contender in the middleweight division, and this will be important for him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Look for this to be a great bout that goes the distance, but taking Tavares at +155 (<a href="/s/mybookie">over at MyBookie</a>) to pull off the slight upset is going to be the way to go. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dawson-Garcia in Huge Fight</h2>



<p>As mentioned in the intro, UFC Fight Nights are typically for some younger fighters to make a name for themselves, and that is exactly what we have in a battle of lightweight contenders. Rafa Garcia and Grant Dawson are both just outside the top 15, but the winner of this fight will move up heading into 2025.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The betting odds for this fight are more spread out than you might think as Dawson is a significant favorite at -400. Garcia might be getting disrespected a bit with these betting odds, because he has some solid wins under his belt.</p>

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.

<p>The 2022 NBA Playoffs betting action continues Sunday, May 8, with Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between Miami and Philadelphia, so we bring you the best Heat vs. 76ers betting pick and odds.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, the 76ers are slight 1.5-point favorites at home. The Heat, who lead 2-1, are listed as +110 moneyline underdogs, while the totals sit at 207.5 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Miami had a terrible night at Wells Fargo Center&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Miami Heat took full advantage of Joel Embiid’s absence from the first two games of the series, defeating the 76ers 106-92 as 7.5-point home favorites in the opener and 119-103 as 8-point home favorites in Game 2. However, Embiid’s return turned this matchup on its head, and Miami suffered a heavy 99-79 loss in Game 3.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Heat were listed as small 1-point road dogs last Friday. They had an awful shooting night, making only 35.1% of their field goals and 23.3% of their 3-pointers (7-for-30). Miami scored only 34 points in the first half and 14 in the fourth quarter.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jimmy Butler led the charge for the Heat with 33 points and nine rebounds, but the rest of the team didn’t help a lot. The other four members of Miami’s starting lineup combined for a paltry 22 points, while Tyler Herro added 14 points off the bench. Kyle Lowry finished scoreless in 25 minutes on the floor, and the veteran PG is questionable for Game 4 due to a hamstring injury.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Philadelphia dominated the Heat in Game 3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Philadelphia 76ers couldn’t cope with the Miami Heat through their first two encounters of this series, but they were excellent in Joel Embiid’s return to the lineup. Embiid sat out both contests in Florida due to a concussion and orbital fracture.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Joel is still dealing with a thumb injury, but he’ll play through it for the rest of the postseason. Embiid had 18 points and 11 rebounds in 36 minutes on the floor last Friday, while Tyrese Maxey and Danny Green scored 21 points apiece. The Sixers shot 47.8% from the field and 48.5% from beyond the arc (16-for-33).&nbsp;</p>



<p>James Harden scored 17 points in Game 3 to go with eight rebounds, six assists, and seven turnovers. He’s struggled through the semifinals, averaging 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 5.0 turnovers a night while making only 38.5% of his field goals and 21.1% of his 3-pointers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>James&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>Miami:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Philadelphia:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-2 ATS in the last eight outings as favorites&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>None of the previous three meetings between Miami and Philadelphia has been decided by a single-digit margin, and I’m expecting to see a tight, hard-fought battle this time around. The Heat can only play better than they did in Game 3, while the Sixers will look to stay on the right track following Embiid’s return from an injury.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you want to take the risk, go with Any Team to Win by 5 or Fewer Points at +185 odds. Both teams have plenty of dangerous weapons. Miami will certainly make some changes and try to adapt to the Sixers’ style of play with Embiid on the floor, so this clash should be really close down the stretch. I lean the 76ers because of their home-court advantage.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Philadelphia 76ers -1.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The 207.5-point line is a tricky one, and I’ll go with the under because the Heat and 76ers have registered 92.3 possessions per 48 minutes so far this series. They should continue to play at a slow pace, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a lot of free throws late in the fourth quarter which would help the over backers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The under is 6-2 in Philadelphia’s last eight outings, and it is 7-1 in Miami’s previous eight. Also, six of the last eight encounters between the Heat and Sixers have gone under the total.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 207.5 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NCAA Tournament Picks -- Turnover-minded Abilene Christian tries to impose itself on UCLA</strong></span>

Few may have thought that the #11 seed and #14 seed would be battling in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament, but it is indeed happening.

The UCLA Bruins have had to play twice to get here, and they beat pretty good teams in Michigan State and BYU to get here. But considering they did not end the season with a flourish, they have defied expectations.

The Abilene Christian Wildcats were indeed expected to be a tough "out," and Texas made it a lot tougher on themselves in losing straight-up as a 3-seed.

So here we go, with a Monday game for the right to go to the Sweet Sixteen. Game time is 5:15 PM ET at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. And if you are a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you've got reduced juice for a better deal on the odds, as well as Sports Betting Prime, which enables real-time wagers while the game is in progress.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NCAA Tournament @ Indianapolis</strong></span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>ABILENE CHRISTIAN WILDCATS vs. UCLA BRUINS, 5:15 PM ET (TBS)</strong></span>

<strong>NCAA Tournament Odds: UCLA -4.5 / Total 133.5</strong>

Amazingly, ACU shot just below 30% against Texas - and by the way, no one had done that for ten years and still won an NCAA Tournament game - but the key to their victory was in creating extra possessions for themselves through turnovers. They shot the ball 27 more times than the Longhorns, and that is incredible.

Texas committed 23 turnovers and allowed 20 offensive rebounds, and those are fundamental breakdowns that are going to end up costing head coach Shaka Smart his job. Even with all of that, it took two free throws from Joe Pleasant with just 1.2 seconds left to preserve the 53-52 victory.

Now Joe Golding is 71-22 in these last three seasons as coach at Abilene Christian, and all those turnovers are no accident, as his team has been better at that than any other team in the country.

So obviously the challenge for UCLA is to be able to take care of the basketball. They have done a relatively good job at that, with TO's on just 16% of its possessions on the season.

And the Bruins have a legitimate hot hand in Johnny Juzang, who was little-used by John Calipari at Kentucky, but has emerged as a hero for a program that was reduced to having to win a play-in game to make it into the 64-team field.

Juzang has scored 23 against Michigan State and 27 against BYU in the tournament thus far, successful on 19 of 36 field goal attempts overall (and 50% from three-point range).

A meaningful matchup here will take place at the three-point arc when UCLA has the ball. The Bruins are a pretty sharp 37.4% from downtown, while the Wildcats are one of the best in the nation at stopping those shots (29.4% allowed).

Texas actually hit 45% of their shots against ACU the other night, but they just couldn't hold onto the ball. Jericho Sims and Kai Jones, the big guys who were supposed to do some business inside, made seven of seven inside the arc between them, but Matt Coleman, a part of the Texas team that won the NIT two seasons ago, committed seven turnovers.

We would say that it is kind of alarming that Abilene Christian made just 17 of 49 shots from two-point range. If they do that again they won't advance. Seven-footer Kolton Kohl scored just six points, playing only 19 minutes. If he can't make more of a contribution, that puts ACU in trouble as well.

Without a consistent offense, Abilene Christian comes up short against the Bruins, who have sure-handed Tyger Campbell running the offense with nearly a 3-1 assist-turnover ratio. Lay the points.
