Elon Phoenix vs Drexel Dragons NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/16/25

The Pac-12 lid lifter for the Oregon Ducks will not be the first conference game for the Washington Huskies. Washington is already 0-1 in conference play with a loss to Utah among three losses to open the season. A crosstown win over Seattle is the only victory for UDub as they head into tonight’s game on the Pac-12 Network against Oregon.

In checking out the odds from our friends at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>, we see that Oregon has been locked in as an eight-point favorite with a total on the decline of 134.5. This one was -7 last night, so the early game day money has been on the Ducks.

Let’s take a look at this one from all sides and find us a play on the game.
<h3><strong><u>Oregon</u></strong><strong><u> Ducks</u></strong></h3>
The Ducks began the season with an 83-75 defeat at the hands of Missouri. Since then, the Ducks have barely broken a sweat against Seton Hall, Eastern Washington, and Florida A&amp;M. That’s not exactly a murderer’s row of opponents and Seton Hall is down a few notches without Myles Powell this season.

What it is, however, is a pretty good sign of where Oregon’s defense is. Seton Hall was 14-of-24 from 3 and still had under one point per possession. Eastern Washington, a pretty good team from the Big Sky Conference, had .723 PPP. Florida A&amp;M had .887.

In that win over the Rattlers, Oregon was 32-of-40 on two-point shots. We’ll see if they can continue that here against a Washington team coached by former Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins. The Huskies play a zone and play it pretty well. The problem is that every team in the Pac-12 has adjusted to it by now.

This is the fourth year for Hopkins at Washington. Oregon won 64-61 in OT last season on January 18. The Ducks split regular season meetings in 2019 and then beat Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game 68-48 in Las Vegas. The Ducks swept the season series in 2018. In other words, Oregon has had a lot of success. These games have also been quite low scoring.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #333399;"><a style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #333399;" href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/"><span class="td_btn td_btn_lg td_3D_btn">COLLEGE BASKETBALL BETTING + A WELCOME BONUS AT BETONLINE SPORTSBOOK</span></a></span></p>

<h4><strong><u>Washington</u></strong><strong><u> Huskies</u></strong></h4>
Hopkins probably isn’t so much worried about his defense this season. It is the offense that has been dormant. The Huskies opened the season 0-3, scoring .777, .623, and .89 points per possession against Baylor, UC Riverside, and Utah. One of those things is clearly not like the other. In the Baylor loss, Washington allowed 1.284 PPP. The Huskies allowed 1.092 to Utah.

So maybe it is the defense. Maybe it is everything. In fairness, Hopkins probably didn’t expect to lose Jaden McDaniels and Isaiah Stewart so soon, but his prized possessions from the 2020 class both opted to go to the NBA. Sophomore RaeQuan Battle hasn’t figured it out at the collegiate level yet and the team is extremely reliant on Kentucky transfer Quade Green, who only played 16 games for the Huskies last season.

Sophomore center Nate Roberts has seen an increase in his responsibilities. He played 20 games last season and had 19 field goal attempts. He’s had 19 attempts in four games this season. A lot of players have had to pick up more of the scoring burden and the early returns have not been particularly good for the Huskies.

This is a team with a lot of length, though. Roberts and backup center Riley Sorn stand 6-foot-11 and 7-foot-4, respectively. Green is the only player under 6-foot-3. Length has helped Washington defensively in that zone defense, but Washington’s only hope right now seems to be playing at a slow pace and hoping opponents have a bad shooting night.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
It seems unlikely that Oregon will shoot poorly enough for disaster to strike in this game. This should be a slow-paced game. Oregon and Washington played to 66 possessions in an overtime game last season. The 2019 games played to 62, 64, and 60 possessions.

With Washington’s ineptitude on offense, the under makes a ton of sense in a game like this, which is why the markets have been moving in that direction. I agree with the line move.
<h4><strong>Pick: Under 134.5</strong></h4>

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.

This article will not only cover the best NFL betting sites &amp; sportsbooks, but will also provide some tips on how to bet on the NFL.
<h3>Where to bet on NFL</h3>
Knowing where to find the best NFL sportsbooks is a big key if you want to have some success when wagering on this sport. Here are six of the best NFL sportsbooks to use, and all of them are going to be a little bit different.

Best NFL Betting Sites & Sportsbooks

Given the context and the stakes, UCLA over Gonzaga would have been the biggest upset in NCAA Tournament history. Thanks to Jalen Suggs and a 45-foot heave, it didn’t happen. We now get the National Championship that we were hoping for with the game between Baylor and Gonzaga. UCLA fans were certainly hoping for a different outcome, but this is about the best we could have asked for, as the consensus #1 and #2 teams throughout most of the season meet for a title in Indianapolis.

Baylor’s systematic takedown of Houston was one of the most impressive performances of the tournament. It didn’t leave a lot of drama, but it was a sign of what Baylor remains capable of doing, even to teams considered “on their level” by the metrics sites that are out there.

Based on what happened in the two games, we saw a huge adjustment to the betting odds for the National Championship. Gonzaga was expected to be -6 or -6.5 in look-ahead lines. After the games, we now find Gonzaga -4.5 for the title against Baylor at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a>. The total is a robust 159.5 with everything on the line.
<h3><strong><u>Baylor Bears</u></strong></h3>
Baylor has not been an underdog this season until now. The smallest line for the Bears was a -4 number on the road at Texas Tech on January 16. That even includes the postseason. You have to give a lot of credit to Scott Drew. The timing of the February COVID pause was not ideal, though no COVID pause was ideal at any point of the season for any team.

It was especially tricky for Baylor, as they came back after three weeks off and looked bad against Iowa State and then lost to Kansas to fall to 18-1. The following game was a war against West Virginia that went Baylor’s way in overtime. Since then, Baylor has looked the part more often than not, including four double-digit wins in five games in the NCAA Tournament. The Bears beat Arkansas by nine in a game that maybe didn’t deserve to be that close.

The amazing thing about the Baylor/Houston game is that Baylor actually lost the rebounding battle on the offensive glass 14-13, but it was the offensive rebound in the first half that allowed the Bears to build up a big lead that they never relinquished. Baylor also shot the lights out early in the game and finished 11-of-24 from three.

That will be a huge key to the National Championship Game. Baylor comes in as the top three-point shooting team in the country. Gonzaga comes in 43rd in that department, but first in two-point shooting. If Baylor can score by threes while Gonzaga scores by twos, it could make the upset a distinct possibility. Baylor ranks fourth in eFG% offense. Gonzaga ranks second. That is how you end up with a total knocking on the door of 160 points.

The Bears have had a much, much harder road to get to this point. Their tournament strength of schedule was a talking point prior to the Houston game. Baylor has played four straight top-20 teams. They’ve conquered them all. They’ve been remarkably efficient on offense in those games. The defense has been good enough. The Houston game really wasn’t even as close as the final score would suggest and Baylor slacked off a bit defensively in the second half.

Something that will be really interesting to watch is the pace at which this game is played. Baylor rocked Houston in transition early in the Final Four matchup, but the game was only played to 58 possessions. It was Baylor’s second game in the last three to go under 60 possessions. The Bears even slowed Arkansas down to 69 possessions and also played Wisconsin to just 64. Gonzaga will want to run and push the game in transition. That’s how they create so many open looks.

Can the Bears slow down the tempo of the game to something that they are more comfortable with or will Gonzaga dictate the pace?

<h3><strong><u>Gonzaga Bulldogs</u></strong></h3>
Questions about Gonzaga have to be the big story coming into the game against Baylor, right? Memorable moments are what they are, but what people will remember with UCLA gone and Gonzaga moving on is that the Bulldogs gave up 90 points to UCLA. That the Bruins, a #11 seed playing a sixth high-octane, high-pressure game in 16 days, took the undefeated best team in the country to overtime.

It was far and away Gonzaga’s worst defensive performance of the season. UCLA had a 64.4% eFG% and 1.212 points per possession. Prior to that game, the previous worsts for Gonzaga on the defensive side were 1.098 PPP and 59.7 in eFG%. Those were both by Kansas in the opening game of the season. Gonzaga won that game by 12 points anyway.

One thing that really stands out for Gonzaga here in the NCAA Tournament has been a lack of takeaways. It could be what really keeps this game close or maybe even puts Baylor on the precipice of an upset. Gonzaga’s TO% by game are 15, 18.8, 15.1, 13.9, and 13.5. By contrast, Baylor’s are 31.2, 21.8, 27.8, 21.9, and 18.8.

Baylor comes into this game as the #3 defense in TO%. Gonzaga is respectable at 126th, but Baylor has gotten extra possessions via the offensive glass and the turnover. Those are two areas where the Bears have some pretty significant advantages. Gonzaga is a decent offensive rebounding team, but the bulk of those numbers come from West Coast Conference play, a league that ranked 27th in ORB%. It was first in DRB%, but that’s because most of those teams lack height. The Big 12 is a different animal.

That being said, rebounding won’t be quite as big of a factor if Gonzaga keeps shooting the way it has all season long. The Bulldogs get tons of clean looks on offense, which is why they’ve shot 64% on twos. They spread and share the ball so well and have so many scoring options.

The Bulldogs also have an advantage at the free throw line in this one. The officials have mostly let the teams play in the NCAA Tournament. Of course, there was a huge block/charge call on the final possession of regulation that went Gonzaga’s way, but we haven’t seen a lot of foul fests or free throw shooting competitions in these games to this point.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
Man, what a great matchup this is. These are the two best teams and it is nice to see this penultimate game despite all of the upsets that we saw early in the tournament and with what the Pac-12 did in the Elite Eight.

This line was 6 or 6.5 before the Final Four. Has it been overadjusted down to 4.5 based on just two small data points? That is really the question that we have to ask ourselves here. I said before the Final Four games that I liked Gonzaga over Baylor up to -7. Now we have a choice because of how the two teams looked in their respective games. Did what happened on Saturday impact my thought process enough to shift gears?

The answer for me is no. Gonzaga -4.5 is the play. There are some concerns, certainly, but UCLA had a massive outlier offensive performance and Gonzaga did play like a team scared to lose instead of eager to win at times.

Baylor is a great team. No doubt about it. I also think their win over Houston has been a bit overblown. Houston came from a horrific AAC conference, at least from an offensive standpoint. Their defensive metrics were overblown. Credit to Baylor for the path they’ve taken to get here, but Gonzaga’s offense is on another level and the Bulldogs should speed the Bears up.

Chicago Blackhawks vs Nashville Predators Betting Pick & Prediction 1/16/25

We are at the point where the poll numbers could change all the time. And what you see in at least one of these polls is that Donald Trump has been making things tighter between himself and Joe Biden.

Right now the folks at <a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>have Biden listed as the -190 favorite, with Trump priced at +165</strong></span>. What this translates to is an implied probability of 64.3% for Biden, and a 37.7% probability for Trump. Do you think the incumbent president has a better chance than that?

An IBD/TIPP poll updated on Monday has Biden holding a lead of 48.8% to 45.6% in the popular vote. This represents a two-point gain by Trump in a little over a day.

In the Northeast Biden has a comfortable lead. But Trump is ahead in the South, which was expected to be a Republican stronghold.

The battle for the independent voters is a key, without a doubt. And Trump holds a 45.6% to 43.6% lead, according to this IBD/TIPP poll. He is also ahead 46.8% to 44.6% among Hispanics.

Maybe you aren't familiar with this particular poll, because it is not one that a lot of outlets talk about. However, it deserves respect because it is one of only two national polls that forecast a Trump victory in 2016.

And then there is the matter of the difference between what certain national polls may say and what Trump's internal polling indicators. When one sees media outlets such as CNN or NBC get involved with polling, one might assume that there is a certain bias associated with them. Such may have been the case four years ago. And while Trump's own campaign is naturally biased, his polls revealed more truth than what the public was being shown.

That's a factor here.

Many Trump voters may actually be apprehensive about advocating for their candidate. So they may not be so quick to give their opinion. The assumption is that when someone is being called to participate in a poll, since they're a registered voter, the pollster has an idea of who that person is. There may be a reluctance to talk about issues like safety and looting and rioting and Antifa and Black Lives Matter, while liberals and/or Democrats aren't as shy at expressing their hatred of Trump. Let's be honest about that.

And when you hear about the concept of a "silent majority," that's what they're talking about.

When it comes down to it, the big factor is how Trump is going to perform in the battleground states. The numbers, as we mentioned, change all the time, but things may be pretty tight in all of these.

There are states that are going to be in the Trump column and others that are going to be in the Biden column. That is pretty much a given. But the ones up for grabs will decide it.

Let's take a look at a few:
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>FLORIDA (29 electoral votes)</strong></span></h3>
<strong><a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/">BetOnline</a> Odds: Trump -160, Biden +130</strong>
<em>(all these expressed as "Republican and "Democrat")</em>

This is what Trump touts as his "home state." According to a RealClearPolitics (RCP) composite poll completed over the weekend, Biden was holding a 48%-47% lead. Trump won this by 110,000 last time, and he did that even though Hillary Clinton had a lead in most polls. Hispanics will be a factor in the southern part of the state; this includes many Cubans, old and young, who distrust Democrats going all the way back to John F. Kennedy and the fumbled Bay of Pigs invasion.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>MICHIGAN (16 electoral votes)</strong></span></h3>
<strong>Election 2020 Odds: Biden -260, Trump +200</strong>

According to the RCP poll, Biden is leading by six points (50%-44%). If you recall, this is where Trump came through the back door with a late rush to steal it from Clinton in 2016. It's an industrial state, and Trump continues to preach about business and jobs, while the Democratic focus seems to center around the dangers of COVID-19 and the virtues of social distancing, which hurts business. That may help Trump's cause. This is where he's going to have to do well among African-Americans.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WISCONSIN (10 electoral votes)</strong></span></h3>
Trump-Biden Odds: Biden -290, Trump +230

This was a real surprise last time, as it broke late for Trump. Biden is a 50%-44% leader in the RCP poll. There is said to be far fewer voters who are undecided - or uninterested - than last time. This doesn't look real good for Trump, but we wonder whether the fallout of rioting and violence after the Jacob Blake police shooting will win over some voters who may not be saying so.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>MINNESOTA (10 electoral votes)</strong></span></h3>
<strong>Election 2020 Odds: Biden -400, Trump +300</strong>

This may be the most intriguing state of them all. Trump lost Minnesota by 45,000 votes in 2016. But a lot has happened since then, as we know.

Joe Biden is ahead 48%-43% in the RealClearPolitics poll. But there are a lot of things that could affect this result, and they may not have been the subject of conversation between pollsters and registered voters.

The dynamic created by the police murder of George Floyd and the destruction of Minneapolis will have a very real effect. Unquestionably there are some citizens and business-owners who are rightfully scared. That may work in favor of Trump, who wanted for the beginning to restore order to the beleaguered city. At the same time, he refused a request for federal money to the tune of half a billion dollars to clean things up, and that may work against him.

So what happens in the end? This may be a difference-maker that comes out of nowhere.
