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>

<p>Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin (+475) has had an excellent NASCAR career, but he’s in the best racing form of his career and has his best shot at winning his first Cup Series Championship in 2023.</p>



<p>Hamlin asserted his right to a place in the Round of 12 by winning at Bristol, scoring his third race win. After Hamlin took the checkered flag, Kyle Larson (+475), Christopher Bell (+900), Chris Buescher (+1400), and Ty Gibbs (+3300) rounded out the top five at Bristol.</p>



<p>While we started the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs with 16 drivers, Sunday’s race at Texas Motor Speedway is the first race in the Round of 12 with the Championship standings reshuffled. Bangthebook has your NASCAR betting needs covered in our AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 betting preview, with odds provided by BetOnline.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-chevrolets-larson-byron-and-busch">The Chevrolets: Larson, Byron, and Busch</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hendrick-motorsports">Hendrick Motorsports</h3>



<p>William Byron’s (+750) regular season and two playoff top-ten finishes have him tied atop the Cup Series standings with Joe Gibbs Racing’s Martin Truex Jr.</p>



<p>In his last four races at Texas, Byron has one top-five and two top-ten finishes, with his best finish being second in 2021 and behind his championship-favorite teammate.</p>



<p>The winner of the 2021 race was Kyle Larson, who is one of three drivers with past wins at Texas who won his way into the Round of 12.</p>



<p>Larson’s playoff push has been outstanding, finishing in the top five in each race, scoring one race win and two top-three finishes. In his career at Texas, Larson has one win, four top-five, and six top-ten finishes in 15 career races.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-richard-childress-racing-s-kyle-busch">Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch</h3>



<p>Outside of the Hendrick Motorsports duo, Chevrolet's best chance to win at Texas is Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch (+1200).</p>



<p>Busch has four wins and 14 top-five finishes at Texas Motor Speedway in 32 career starts, with his Fall win at the track coming in 2020. However, Busch’s recent performances haven’t been stellar, with two top-ten finishes in his last seven races.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-toyotas-hamlin-bell-and-reddick">The Toyotas: Hamlin, Bell, and Reddick</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-joe-gibbs-racing">Joe Gibbs Racing</h3>



<p>Joe Gibbs Racing has three drivers atop the Cup Series Drivers’ standings, but we’re fading current co-top seed Martin Truex Jr. as his recent four races have been disappointments, with 18th place being his best finish.</p>



<p>However, teammate Christopher Bell has been rapid in the playoffs, capturing three consecutive pole positions and scoring two top-ten finishes, including winning both stages and leading the most laps at Bristol before finishing third. In four career Cup Series races at Texas, Bell has two top-five finishes and an average finishing position of 15.3</p>



<p>More impressive than Bell is Denny Hamlin. Hamlin’s playoff push is only rivaled by Larson, having two top-three finishes in the Round of 16, leading the most laps, and winning both stages at Darlington before dropping to a 25th-place finish. Hamlin has three career wins - with a Fall win back in 2011 - and seven top-five finishes in 32 career races at Bristol.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-23-xi-racing-s-tyler-reddick">23 XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick</h3>



<p>Tyler Reddick (+700) is the third playoff driver who won their way into the Round of 12 - alongside Larson and Hamlin - and has prior success at Texas, winning this race in 2022. Reddick has two top-two finishes in the playoffs but finished a disappointing 15th at Bristol. He has one win, two top-five, and three top-ten finishes in four career races at Texas.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-any-ford-pull-an-upset">Can Any Ford Pull an Upset?</h2>



<p>With three Fords left in the Round of 12, we don’t like Ford’s chances of winning at Texas. However, RFK Racing and Team Penske could each pull off the upset if the circumstances and situations present themselves.</p>



<p>Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney (+1200) races well at Texas, having two top-five finishes in his previous four races and eight in 14 career races. Blaney has only one top-ten finish in the 2023 Playoffs.</p>



<p>RFK’s Chris Buescher’s history at Texas isn’t great, having zero top-ten finishes in 13 career races. However, this season could be where Buescher breaks through, considering he has three top-five finishes in the last four races.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bangthebook-s-nascar-cup-series-autotrade-echopark-automotive-400-betting-pick">BangtheBook’s NASCAR Cup Series AutoTrade EchoPark Automotive 400 Betting Pick</h2>



<p>Bangthebook is taking 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick to win at Texas, with Hamlin, Larson, Bell, and Buescher completing the top five.</p>

Compared to other teams, this is just 26th in that span. When looking at the team's power numbers, they have a season-long slugging percentage of .452% while going deep a total of 233 times (3rd). Overall, the Rangers are 3rd in the MLB at 5.4 runs per contest.</p><p>Leody Taveras has been on fire lately for the Rangers, racking up hits at a .750 clip over the last five games. This season, Taveras is batting .266 with 67 RBIs to his name.</p>

The Giants' defense also forced the Panthers into a 40% third-down conversion rate.<p></p>New York's defense recorded one sack in the game and had a tough time in the trenches, losing the tackles for loss and QB hit differentials.

<p>The MLB betting action continues Tuesday, June 14, 2022, with the marquee interleague showdown from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, so we bring you the best Angels vs. Dodgers betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Halos and Blue Crew meet each other for the first time in 2022 and open a two-game series. The Dodgers are listed as -171 home favorites, while the Angels sit at +157 moneyline odds with a total of 9.0 runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Angels lost five straight series&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Los Angeles Angels are coming off a 4-1 defeat to the New York Mets this past Sunday. They dropped a three-game interleague set at home, which was their fifth consecutive series defeat. The Angels fell to 29-33 on the season, laying at the third spot in the AL West.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mike Trout (groin) returned from his three-game absence last Saturday and belted two home runs in an 11-6 thrashing of the Mets. Trout went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Sunday’s clash against New York, and the future hall-of-famer is now slashing .293/.392/.634 in 2022. The Angels are scoring 4.39 runs per game (tied-14<sup>th </sup>in the majors) while surrendering 4.24 in a return (16<sup>th</sup>).&nbsp;</p>



<p>Noah Syndergaard will take the mound Tuesday, looking to avoid his third straight loss. The 29-year-old right-hander tossed six innings of a one-run ball in a 1-0 defeat to the Boston Red Sox on June 6. On the last day of May, he was obliterated for five runs on seven hits across just 2.1 frames of work in a 9-1 defeat at Yankee Stadium in New York. Syndergaard is 4-4 with a 3.69 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in nine starts (46.1 innings) this season.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Dodgers hope to snap their three-game skid&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers are in crisis. They’ve won only four of their previous 13 games overall and are riding a three-game losing streak following a 2-0 defeat at San Francisco this past Sunday. The Dodgers have scored only four runs in a three-game series against the Giants.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Over the last couple of weeks, Los Angeles is slashing only .235/.303/.392 while posting an underwhelming 4.50 ERA. The Dodgers’ bullpen has registered a pedestrian 5.40 ERA, 4.20 FIP, and .311 BABIP in that stretch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Tony Gonsolin will toe the rubber Tuesday and shoot for his fourth straight win. The 28-year-old righty is 7-0 with a sparkling 1.58 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 11 starts (57 innings) in 2022. Gonsolin has gone 6-0 over his previous seven starts, posting a 1.58 ERA, 3.21 FIP, and .165 BABIP.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>LA Angels:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-16 in the last 18 games overall&nbsp;</li><li>0-9 in the last nine games on the road&nbsp;</li><li>2-5 in Noah Syndergaard’s last seven starts&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>LA Dodgers:</strong></p>



<ul><li>9-3 in the last 12 games against the Angels&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>6-1 in Tony Gonsolin’s last seven starts&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Los Angeles Angels vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Dodgers will win this game if Tony Gonsolin continues to shine. The Angels’ lineup is loaded with dangerous bats, but I’m going with Gonsolin and the Dodgers. Tony holds a terrific .205 expected batting average and .230 wOBA.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>I’ve mentioned how bad the Dodgers’ bullpen has been in the last two weeks. On the other side, the Halos’ bullpen is sporting a 0-4 record, 4.96 ERA, and 5.08 FIP in June. If Noah Syndergaard starts to struggle, the visitors will be in trouble.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Los Angeles Dodgers at -171&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Both Angels and Dodgers have struggled to hit well in the last 15 days of action. The Halos have posted a poor .215/.281/.348 triple-slash, while the Dodgers have recorded an underwhelming .235/.303/.392 slash line.&nbsp;</p>



<p>These two teams should improve on both sides of the ball in coming days. We shouldn’t see a proper high-scoring affair Tuesday unless one of the starting pitchers falls apart.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 9.0 runs at -105&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Cal Poly Mustangs vs Saint Mary's Gaels NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

Tuesday night brings us a larger nine-game slate to discuss.

As for Monday, Charlotte was this close several times to covering as there was one overtime, then a second. Thankfully the extra point turned out to be needed as a loss turned into a push in a game that sailed past the over.

Fortunately, Denver’s shooting heated up just enough along with their defensive intensity. Milwaukee had few answers as their perimeter shooting was contested and at best ice cold most of the night. The result was an easy double-digit point win for the Nuggets that was never in doubt.

Our overall record is 31-26-3 on the season and yes, leans mean there is no consensus spread out yet. However, staying away from the Toronto-Utah game if the spread moved too high proved to be prophetic.

We take a fast look at two games on this Tuesday night.

<em>Lines from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a>.</em>
<h3><strong>Orlando Magic (+2.5) vs Memphis Grizzlies</strong>
<strong>O/U: 222.5</strong></h3>
Orlando and Memphis are sort of the irresistible force meets the movable object. In one of the crazier games to look at. There is some total contrast. The Magic have connected on the over a whopping 11 straight times. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies control the pace to such a level that the under has hit in six consecutive games.

Memphis has been playing well over their previous five contests – going 4-1 straight up and ATS. However, Orlando has won just two of their five games but has covered in four of five – including a resounding 20-point blowout of the Houston Rockets on the road. This again presents a challenge as both teams come in with momentum.

Orlando’s epic streak with the over has pushed their record to 20-11 which is the slate’s best for road teams. Memphis is just 14-18 at home in that scenario. The Magic have benefited from some hot shooting along the way and they may be able to control enough of the pace to keep this game very close or win outright. Remember, the last meeting was a resounding 32-point win for Orlando at home in November.

Our pick tonight is taking Orlando with the 2.5 points. Also, that number may move a little bit later in the day so do not be surprised.

<em><strong>Pick: Orlando Magic, +2.5</strong></em>
<h3><strong>Dallas Mavericks (-3) vs San Antonio Spurs</strong>
<strong>O/U: 227.5</strong></h3>
The two teams come in off losses, but Dallas has won six of ten overall while San Antonio has won just four. Dallas thankfully is on the road where they are 21-11 while the Spurs are just 15-14 at home.

A big problem both teams of late is being able to cover. Dallas has not covered in three of their last five games. However, San Antonio has been far worse as they have missed the cover in seven consecutive contests.

Dallas is 2-3 straight up in their previous five games while San Antonio has lost four of five. Again, the overall ATS records are complete opposites. The Spurs are 9-20 at home while the Mavericks are 20-9-2 away from home. Only the Boston Celtics come close to covering that often on this slate ATS.

The Mavericks are also within a few games of Utah and could hop a few teams as the playoffs draw closer. Dallas’ scoring margin is +6.7 points per game on the road while San Antonio rides in with a negative 3.7 point scoring margin per contest.

Again, the Mavericks are giving only 3 points and have covered in seven consecutive road meetings against the San Antonio Spurs.

<em><strong>Pick: Dallas Mavericks, -3</strong></em>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>One Final Note:</strong></span>

How will Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers game end up? The feeling is that Los Angeles should be able to cover and that is our one lean. Good luck tonight!
