Kansas State Wildcats vs St. John's Red Storm NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/7/24

<p>Week 6 of the NFL season is going to wrap up on Monday night as the Dallas Cowboys visit the Los Angeles Chargers. That is going to be a big game on Monday Night Football, and it will end a crazy weekend around the league.</p>



<p>There are now no more undefeated NFL teams, and there were a number of shocking upsets that took place in Week 6. That has made some of the division races tighter throughout the league, but there are still three divisions that are pretty well settled.</p>



<p>Here is a look at the five division races that are still too hard to call and a betting pick for each of them.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-looking-at-the-odds-afc-and-nfc-south-races-are-tight">Looking at the Odds - AFC and NFC South Races are Tight</h2>



<p>The AFC South and the NFC South were expected to be up for grabs this season as those were two divisions that didn’t really have a dominant team. That has been the case so far this season, and it has created plenty of excitement and competitiveness.</p>



<p>The Jacksonville Jaguars are now in first place in the AFC South, and they are the favorites to win the title at -130 at <a href="/s/betdsi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetDSI</a>. The Houston Texans have been a major surprise this season, and they will head into Week 7 at +260 to win the title.</p>



<p>Things are really tight in the NFC South, as there are three teams with nearly identical betting odds to win the title. New Orleans is the favorite at +160, but they have plenty of teams that are looking to take them down this season.</p>



<p>The Atlanta Falcons (+180) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+185) are also in the mix in the NFC South, but each team has some work to do. This is a division in which you are going to get some value regardless of how you wager on the champion.</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on the winner of these two divisions, then you still need to go with the favorites. It will be the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints that are able to win the AFC and NFC South Divisions, respectively.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/betdsi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet on Jacksonville Jaguars to Win the AFC South over at BetDSI and Get a 125% Welcome Bonus</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-who-owns-the-east">Who Owns the East?</h2>



<p>The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their first loss of the season in Week 6, and that has now changed the betting odds in the NFC East. Philadelphia is still the favorite to win the NFC East at -185, while the Dallas Cowboys are next on the list at +150.</p>



<p>You might think that this is the perfect time to back the Cowboys, but don’t be fooled by one single loss by the Eagles. Philadelphia is still the best team in this division, and they are going to find a way to get it done.</p>



<p>The Miami Dolphins are still the favorites to win the AFC East at -150, but the Buffalo Bills aren’t far behind at +125. It’s a two-team race in the AFC East, and both of these teams are also among the leaders when it comes to Super Bowl odds.</p>



<p>Things are going to get harder for Miami once the weather gets colder, but that offense won’t stop scoring points. Take the Dolphins at -150, as they will edge out Buffalo.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/betdsi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Take the Dolphins at -150 to Win the AFC South over at BetDSI and Get a 125% Welcome Bonus</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-drama-in-afc-north">Drama in AFC North</h2>



<p>The AFC North is the most competitive division in football, as all four teams still have a shot at this time. There doesn’t appear to be a clear leader right now either, as some of the better teams have dropped some winnable games.</p>



<p>Here is a look at the betting odds to win the AFC North after six weeks:</p>



<ul>
<li>Baltimore Ravens +120</li>



<li>Cleveland Browns +275</li>



<li>Cincinnati Bengals +400</li>



<li>Pittsburgh Steelers +450</li>
</ul>



<p>It was a slow start to the season for the Cincinnati Bengals, but this team feels like it has turned things back around. Taking the Bengals at +400 is going to be a move that provides you with a ton of value, and that’s also going to be the best play.</p>
