Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics Betting Pick & Prediction 12/29/24

<p>The UFC action this weekend returns to Las Vegas for a brief stop before going on another world tour for the rest of the summer. It will be another Fight Night set to take place in Las Vegas and there are a number of big fights on the schedule.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This has been a banner year for the UFC as it just continues to deliver some great bouts every single weekend. Not only should you be watching the top action, but there are some great betting options to explore as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at some of the biggest fights this weekend and the top betting options that you should explore.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lemos-Jandiroba in Main Event</h2>



<p>A pair of strawweight contenders from Brazil are going to meet up in the main event this weekend as Amanda Lemos will be taking on Virna Jandiroba in Las Vegas. Jandiroba is a slight betting favorite at -130, but taking Lemos at +110 isn’t a bad option either.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Lemos has already had a shot at a belt in this weight class, but she ended up coming up just a bit short in her attempt a year ago. She is still ranked as the number three player in that weight class, but she is facing a fighter that is looking to move up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jandiroba is hoping to get a chance at a title fight later in her career, and she needs to win this fight on Saturday night. This will be one that goes the distance, but taking the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betus/">favorite</a> and backing Jandiroba is going to be the play to make. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Great Co-Main Event</h2>



<p>A pair of middleweight contenders are going to meet up in the co-main event as it will be Brad Tavares taking on JunYong Park in what should be a great battle. These odds are extremely tight as well as Park (-160) is a slight betting favorite over Tavares (+140).&nbsp;</p>



<p>Tavares had been struggling of late, but he seems to be rounding back into his top form, and that is important ahead of this one. Park lost his most recent fight, but he is fighter that has never lost two times in a row throughout this career.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Both of these men are tested at the UFC level, and this should be a fight in which fighter will be extremely aggressive. This is a fight in which Tavares is a solid option at +140 and that’s the way to go.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Durden-Silva Ready For Battle</h2>



<p>Bruno Silva is making his return to the Octagon after a long break and he will be meeting Cody Durden this weekend in Las Vegas. Silva is coming into this bout with a long <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betus/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">winning</a> streak, but he doesn’t have a ton of action to hang his hat on. </p>



<p>This is going to be a tough fight to predict as these are two fighters that get the job done in very different ways. These betting odds are basically even, and that gives you the chance to go with whoever you want.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Go with Silva in this one as it will be a fight to remember.&nbsp;</p>

Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Betting Pick & Prediction 12/22/24

The FIU Panthers seem to have toned down their act a little, and they are getting some results, although perhaps not to the level that they have been looking for. On Thursday, they'll be engaging in a "Battle of Florida" as they play host to the FAU Owls in a Conference USA game that begins at 7 PM ET at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center in Miami.

Remember that if you are a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you can place wagers in real time with Sports Betting Prime.

Jeremy Ballard came over from his job as an assistant at VCU to take the reins at FIU. And his intention was simple - to turn up the pace of the game as high as possible on both ends of the floor.

But not necessarily by intention, that design is not working as expected.

Two seasons ago the Panthers led the nation in steals. Now they are just 28th in steal percentage. Last year they topped the nation in blocks. They are 96th now. Two years ago they were the "fastest" team in the country, shooting the ball quicker in the shot clock than anyone. At this moment they are 49th.

The departure of Osasumwon Osaghe had an effect. The former FIU center was the top shot-blocker in the country last season, averaging 5.6 per game.

It's not a bad thing to play at a fast pace, if you can get down the court in a hurry and nail open threes. But FIU hasn't been able to do that.Obviously they're trying to do that; they have taken 49.5% of their shots from downtown. But they are hitting just 35.3%,which is nothing extraordinary.

So they are not as imposing. They are not as fast. But is FAU in any position to exploit that?

We'll explore further. Here are the college basketball betting odds, as they are posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>:

<strong>FIU Panthers -5.5</strong>
<strong>FAU Owls +5.5</strong>

<strong>Over 143.5 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 143.5 points -110</strong>

Interestingly, FAU coach Dusty May would like to play up-tempo, with a lot of pressure defense. But their pace is not exactly "break-neck." And not for nothing, when you look at their five wins, consider the opponents - Mobile, Florida National, North Florida, Florida Memorial, Florida College. Even Florida residents haven't heard some of those schools.

Sure, they have had a "look" in a couple of losses - to Old Dominion and South Alabama (in the season opener) - but they have been low-impact to say the least. The Owls are not a good shooting team, and they are below 30% from the arc and just 61.5% from the line.

A liability for FIU - at least lately - has been 6-1 guard Antonio Daye, by far the guy with the most "usage.' Last year he led Conference USA in assists, but in his last three games he's had only seven assists and 24 turnovers. Daye has also missed his last eight triples. We've seen better from him; do you think he's due for a better game?

The bad news for FAU is that they committed 23 turnovers in their last outing against Old Dominion. Leave these "ducks" out; in the conference games, they have a turnover rate of 26.6%.

That will leave them vulnerable here. And they don't have the firepower to stay with FIU. So we'll lay the points.

Delaware State Hornets vs North Carolina Central Eagles NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/13/25

Bookmakers and oddsmakers are in the gambling business as a business and they need to make money. The -110 figure that they establish for many bets is the amount that a bettor needs to bet in order for them to win $100. This extra $10 is called the juice that the bookmaker needs in order to remain in business.

<strong>As Far As The Bettor Is Concerned</strong>

Just like with anything, consumers need to find the best prices they possibly can before they spend their money. The same thing goes for laying down a bet. Different oddsmakers and bookmakers will set reduced juice for bettors in order to attract new bettors or increase the action on a particular game. These reduced lines are commonly known as “reduced juice” or “nickel lines.”

Bettors need to shop around for the best they can find so that they need to put up the least amount of money possible to place their bets. The bettor needs to put themselves in a position to make the most they can off the least amount of money possible.

The ultimate objective for any bettor is to minimize their losses and maximize their wins, obviously right? There are going to be times when a bettor will spend a little more on a bet because they are confident in the team. This bet could be upwards of -120 or even -130. If a bettor is going to do this, they need to make sure that they are extremely confident in the bet that they are making.

<strong>As Far As The Sportsbook Is Concerned</strong>

No business is going to last long if they are not making money. This is why bettors have to spend $110 to win $100. The sportsbook needs to be able to make money for being available to bettors to broker the bets. This seems like a small commission, but sportsbooks make a majority of their money on losses.

Between a cashed out winning bet and a losing bet, the bookmakers will come out up $10. This is not a lot of money, which is why a bookmaker banks on the fact that there are going to be a large number of bettors who are going to lose. Also, what most bettors don’t take into account is the number of bets that a bookmaker takes throughout the scope of a single game. The more bets they take, the more money they make.

What Does -110 Mean?

<p>The UFC is going to leave the United States for the weekend as it’s time for UFC Fight night from Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time that the UFC will be in that part of the world, but there is a terrific card set up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The main event will feature a great middleweight battle between championship contenders, and the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting odds</a> are tight as well. Here is a look at the best fights of the night, and some of the bets that should be made. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aliskerov-Whittaker Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The main event is a fight that is a long time coming as both the fighters have been on a path to contend for a title belt. Ikram Aliskerov will face off against Robert Whittaker and the latter is a slight betting favorite in this matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This fight was actually just thrown together based on some other scratches, but these fighters were always going to meet up at some point. Aliskerov comes into this fight with odds set at +131, while Whittaker is a slight favorite at -151.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whittaker will be delivering Aliskerov the first loss of his career, as he has been a fighter that just continues to impress. This should be a great matchup of two aggressive fighters, and this one will be decided by a knockout of some sort.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a really good chance that this fight will end with an upset, and getting Aliskerov at +131 is an opportunity that you can’t pass up. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heavyweights Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The UFC has done a great job of putting together some other great fights, and that includes a huge heavyweight battle between Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich. This is another fight where the betting odds are pretty tight, and it should lead to an excellent battle in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pavlovich has already had a shot at winning the title in this weight class, but he was clearly not prepared for that battle. He is the favorite in this battle at -201, but he will have his work cut out for him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Volkov comes into this fight with three straight wins, and all three of them have come via stoppage. While that is an impressive run, that’s not going to be what happens in this fight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on this fight then you want to take Pavlovich at -201 to come away with another impressive win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desperate Welterweights Ready to Fight</h2>



<p>Daniel Rodriguez will be looking to pull off a pretty big upset when he takes on Kelvin Gastelum in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Rodriguez currently has <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker">odds</a> set at +220, but he is facing Gastelum (-260), and he is another fighter that has been struggling to win of late. </p>



<p>Since both of these fighters are coming into this bout on a losing streak, there will be a bit of desperation that is shown throughout the fight. This might end up being the biggest upset of the night, and going with Rodriguez at +220 is the way to go.</p>

Central Connecticut State Blue Devils vs Fairfield Stags NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/18/24

The Michigan State Spartans suffered a setback in their most recent game and now they’ll look to get back on track with Monday’s matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Though Sparty has not been kind to bettors with a 2-6 ATS record, overnight and early-morning betting action came in on the road favorites with a move up from -1 to -2.5 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>. This one has a lofty total of 155.5 after touching as high as 160.

We’ll break down both sides of the game and attempt to find a play for this Big Ten clash with an 8 p.m. ET tip-off on the Big Ten Network.
<h3><strong><u>Michigan</u></strong><strong><u> State</u></strong><strong><u> Spartans</u></strong></h3>
Michigan State has actually suffered two setbacks in a row, with conference losses to Northwestern and Wisconsin. Starting 0-2 in conference play shouldn’t be that big of a deal for Tom Izzo’s team in the long run, but three straight bad defensive performances have raised quite a few red flags.

Over the last three games, opponents are 36-of-74 from 3 against Michigan State. Prior to the last three games, opponents were 27-of-101. It would certainly help if Michigan State could force a few more turnovers. Their TO% of 14.5% ranks 320th in the country per Bart Torvik. They’ve taken decent care of the basketball, but not stealing some extra possessions has been a hindrance on both ends of the floor.

In the most recent loss to Wisconsin, Sparty had twice as many turnovers and lost despite shooting 8-of-11 from 3. From a tempo standpoint, this is the fastest that Michigan State has played under Tom Izzo dating back to at least 2008, but the last two games have played to 69 and 68 possessions, so it’s fair to wonder if this total is a little bit high with Sparty starting to play a bit slower and a bit more like normal.

One factor for Michigan State could be too much depth. Only Aaron Henry has played over 70% of the available minutes. Izzo has used a lot of substitutions and different lineups and it may be possible that the team just isn’t communicating or rotating well enough on defense.

<h3><strong><u>Minnesota</u></strong><strong><u> Golden Gophers</u></strong></h3>
Aside from a blowout loss to Illinois by 27 back on December 15, the Golden Gophers have done just about all that has been asked of them. Unlike Michigan State, who has been burning bettors’ bankrolls, Minnesota is 6-3 ATS. They are 7-2 to the over, including the most recent game, which was a 102-95 win in overtime over Iowa. It was their fifth straight game over the total.

The Golden Gophers do not have data points against teams like Duke or Notre Dame like Michigan State does, which could be part of the anti-Gopher sentiment in the betting markets. Michigan State’s strength of schedule is ranked 69th by Torvik, but Minnesota’s comes in at 91st to this point. It could also be a fade of Minnesota’s most recent performance. The Gophers had 1.326 points per possession against Iowa. They only did better against UMKC. Defensively, Minnesota had its worst performance of the season with 1.235 PPP allowed.

After forcing turnovers at a high rate against Green Bay and Loyola Marymount, Minnesota has only exceeded a TO% over 20% twice. Like Michigan State, they don’t force enough turnovers, though they are better at it than Sparty. The Gophers have also had major issues on the defensive glass in the last couple of games, including a really nice win over Saint Louis.

Minnesota doesn’t have the problem of too much depth. While a lot of guys have gotten some minutes, Marcus Carr has played nearly 88% of the available minutes, while fellow juniors Both Gach and Gabe Kalscheur are also up over 70%.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
The Sparty love is a little bit surprising here, as there is clearly a disconnect with Tom Izzo’s team. One possible explanation is that Michigan State is shooting nearly 37% from 3 and Minnesota is below 32%. In a game that would appear to show minimal defensive resistance based on the total, Michigan State’s offense could rule the day. After all, unless Minnesota shoots well from 3, they haven’t made more than 16 two-pointers in the last four games.

I’d expect this one to be played at a bit of a slower pace than what most of the games for these two teams have seen, so I do like the under 155.5 and I prefer that to a side in this game, though the lean is Michigan State.

Coppin State Eagles vs Delaware State Hornets Betting Pick & Prediction 1/6/24

<p>Surely one of the most intriguing games from a 12-game slate on Friday, March 18 is going to take place at Footprint Center, when the inter-conference rivals collide. Make sure you don’t miss out on the best Bulls vs. Suns betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Chicago is searching for revenge after Phoenix secured a 127-124 victory at United Center earlier this season, while the Suns are looking to sweep the series with a win here. According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, the Suns are 7-point favorites with the total being set at 230 points.</p>



<p>Chicago is going through a rough patch</p>



<p>The Chicago Bulls are not playing well recently and they fell from 2nd place to 5th place in the Eastern Conference standings. They lost even of the previous nine games, and although their schedule has been tough, the Bulls managed to lose to the Kings, which was surprising. During that nine-game span, the Bulls failed to cover eight. The Bulls will conclude the three-game road trip with this game in Phoenix.</p>



<p>Zach LaVine (33 PTS, 5 AST, and 3 STL), DeMar DeRozan (25 PTS, 7 AST, 5 REB), Ayo Dosunmu (15 PTS and 6 AST), and Nikola Vucevic (10 PTS and 11 REB) played well in a 125-110 loss to the Utah Jazz.</p>



<h2>Phoenix didn’t have problems with a back-to-back set</h2>



<p>The Phoenix Suns returned home from a back-to-back road set on which they beat the New Orleans and Houston Rockets, covering both games without issues. Monty Williams’ team expects another b2b set; after playing Chicago on Friday, the Suns will face Sacramento on the road. With that game against the Kings, Phoenix will open a three-game road trip.</p>



<p>The Suns had four individuals with 20+ points in a 129-111 victory over the Rockets. Devin Booker (36 PTS, 4 REB, and 4 AST), Mikal Bridges (26 PTS, 5 AST, and 3 STL), Deandre Ayton (23 PTS and 11 REB), and Torrey Craig (21 PTS, 14 REB, and 2 BLK) have been impressive for Phoenix in this win.</p>



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



<p><strong>Chicago:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-2 ATS in the last six games against Phoenix</li></ul>



<p><strong>Phoenix:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-9 ATS in the last 11 games when playing at home against Chicago</li><li>2-6 ATS in the last eight home games</li><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games as a home favorite</li></ul>

<p>The Bulls are not playing well of late, but they do have a good thing and it’s only a matter of time when they start playing well again. The Suns are the first team to clinch a playoff spot this season, and with 12 games to go and eight wins ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, they can afford to relax and slow down a bit.</p>



<p>Phoenix proved many times it has a winning mentality and the Suns will surely not calculate anything, but Monty Williams wouldn’t want to see some of his players getting injured before the playoffs, so I think he will be cautious, especially in the first game of a back-to-back set.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Chicago Bulls +7 at -110</p>



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



<p>The Suns’ offense has been explosive in the last few games as it scored 129+ points in each of the previous three. Chicago’s defense is far from being impressive recently on the road, and given that both teams belong to the top 10 when it comes to offensive rating, I expect to see a lot of buckets here.</p>



<p>The total has gone Over in four of Phoenix's last five games. Over is 4-0 in the Suns’ previous four games following an ATS win, while Over is 4-0 in Phoenix’s last four games as a favorite.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 230 points at -110</p>
