San Jose State has grown into a 9.5-point favorite with a total of 64 in this matchup between the Mountain West Conference champ and the MAC champ at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>.

We’ll break it all down in this one and suggest a pick or two on the second-to-last game of 2020.
<h3><strong><u>Ball</u></strong><strong><u> State</u></strong><strong><u> Cardinals</u></strong></h3>
We’ve had way too many bowl games this season when motivation questions and looming opt-outs ruled the day. Ball State is simply worried about what’s in front of them and that is the Arizona Bowl. This is a program that hasn’t played in a bowl game since 2013. That was a loss to Arkansas State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl. Ball State is 0-7 all-time in bowls.

That means that this program can do something it has never done before. Fifth-year head coach Mike Neu faced long odds in the MAC Championship Game against Buffalo and his team prevailed 38-28 to win as a 12-point underdog. It was the biggest outright upset win for the Cardinals since Week 7 of the 2011 season when they upset Ohio as a 14.5-point pup. They also upset Toledo in what was a double-digit dog role earlier this season at some sportsbooks.

There are a lot of reasons why bettors have opted to back the other side. Ball State did get some fine QB play from Drew Plitt with a 16/6 TD/INT ratio and a completion percentage approaching 66%, but the Cardinals will be without leading rusher Caleb Huntley, who opted out to prepare for the NFL Draft. Tye Evans is a step down with 4.6 yards per carry to 5.5 for Huntley. Huntley had half of the team’s 12 rushing touchdowns.

The biggest reason why Ball State has been bet against is because bettors are worried about their statistical profile. They were outgained on a yards-per-play basis over the course of the season with 5.82 yards per play on offense and 6.05 yards per play allowed on defense. In fairness, Ball State was a run-heavy team, so that skewed things a little on offense, but the pass defense was not great and allowed a lot of chunk plays. Ball State allowed 24 pass plays of 20 or more yards in just seven games.

<h3><strong><u>San Jose</u></strong><strong><u> State</u></strong><strong><u> Spartans</u></strong></h3>
From early on, it felt like San Jose State could be considered a team of destiny. While the ceiling was a Mountain West Championship and a decent bowl game, they looked the part from day one. They went 7-0 straight up and had six ATS wins, depending on the line you had for the UNLV game on November 14. They paired an excellent and dynamic offense with a spectacular defense. San Jose State amassed nearly 6.9 yards per play on offense and allowed just 4.84 yards per play on defense.

Both marks ranked in the top 15 nationally. A strong case could be made as well that the Mountain West Conference was clearly superior to the MAC, so a +2 YPP differential in the harder of the two conferences would certainly be enough justification for a line move up from -7 to a line approaching -10 at some places.

Nick Starkel posted a 16/4 TD/INT ratio with a 65% completion rate in his first season after transferring from Arkansas. Tyler Nevens wound up one of the best backs in the nation on a per-carry basis with 8.1 yards per pop and Bailey Gaither is probably the best receiver you’ve never really heard of in college football. He has a great chance to play at the next level, much like his head coach Brent Brennan did.

Like Ball State, bowl appearances are hard to find for San Jose State. They haven’t been in one since 2015 and only have three since 1990. Last season, SJSU went 5-7 to fall one win short of a bowl, but lost games by three to Nevada, two to Hawaii, and three to UNLV. This has been a long time coming for the seniors and other upperclassmen with this program.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
It’s nice to finally have a bowl game where we can just look at the black and white. So many bowl games have had so many grey areas on the motivation side. In this one, both teams are extremely happy to be playing another game and each team has the chance to do something special that will stand out in program lore.

Tucson, Arizona is also at a little bit of elevation, measuring around 2400 feet above sea level. San Jose State should be better equipped for that because of the conference they play in.

One really key metric here is sacks. Each team played seven games. San Jose State allowed seven sacks. Ball State allowed 24. The Spartans had 22 sacks in their seven games and Ball State had 16. Add in the yards per play difference and the relative strength of the two conferences and you can see why SJSU has taken the money.

I’ll look that way as well, with a San Jose State squad that is well-coached and has the far superior defense.
<h4><strong>Pick: San Jose State -9.5</strong></h4>

Idaho Vandals vs San Diego Toreros NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

There are a lot of strategies when it comes to betting on sports. Some people take a high-volume approach because they feel like a lot of small edges add up to a much bigger advantage. Others bet a small number of games but a larger amount of money because they believe that one big edge is a better situation than a lot of small edges. Some people like to “chase the steam” and immediately follow along with the “sharp side”, based on line movement or the opinions of some of the industry’s most respected bettors. Others like to “fade the public”, which means that they will bet against the “consensus” opinion because the public loses over the long-term.

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/sports-betting-what-is-public-money/"><strong>Fading the public</strong></a> is also called contrarian betting. Technically, it doesn’t just have to be fading the public, because the public and the sharp side can sometimes be the same. It’s akin to playing the “Don’t Pass” line on a craps table. If you break down the house edges in craps, it’s actually better to play the “Don’t Pass” line rather than the “Pass” line. But, it’s hard to do that. Craps has a community feel. When everybody wins, everybody wins on the “Pass” line. Everybody is having fun. Who wants to be that guy that plays the small advantage to go against everybody?

It’s different with <strong>contrarian betting</strong> because you don’t have to look anybody in the eye when you are deliberately doing the opposite. The motto for a contrarian bettor would be, “It looks too good to be true”. Do this long enough and you’re bound to hear the phrase “public dog”. What this means is that the public, a group that collectively bets more favorites than underdogs, has found a team it loves that isn’t supposed to win the game. One of the best examples we’ve seen of this recently was the Green Bay Packers against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship. The Packers were a five-point underdog most of the week, even though they had won eight straight games and Aaron Rodgers looked like a guy ready for a bust in Canton at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As we know, the Falcons crushed the Packers and Atlanta wound up being the sharp side in that game. They also closed -6.5.

When too many people climb on board a team or an athlete in an individual sport, alarm bells start going off. Think about it. If you’re in a room with a lot of people, isn’t it a weird feeling when everybody agrees? Say you’re doing a group project at work or school and there are no dissenting opinions. Everybody is on the same page. Isn’t there that voice in the back of your mind that knocks on your skull and says, “Aren’t you missing something?”

Contrarian betting basically has the same type of mindset. The team that nobody wants to bet on is the team that the contrarian player is dying to bet on. There is a method to this madness. For starters, perception of these teams or individuals is very low. Because of this, oddsmakers often shade the lines a little bit on the team or player that everybody likes. It may be subtle, just an adjustment of the vig or a half-point here or there, but there’s already value built into the line on that undesirable betting option. For another thing, there’s probably going to be even more value on that side as betting action increases. The more action, the more the bookmakers need to adjust the lines. The more the lines adjust, the more value there is on the side that nobody wants to play.

Understanding bias is such an important part of being a handicapper. If the Milwaukee Brewers have lost seven straight games and were just beaten 11-2 by the Chicago Cubs, who is going to bet on them in the next game? The models for that game may have the Cubs listed as a -275 favorite, but oddsmakers open the game -300. The Brewers are playing the reigning World Series champions, have lost seven straight, and just lost by nine runs. Who wants to play them the next day? Throughout the day, the line climbs up to -340. Mr. Contrarian strolls up, dashing and debonair with his coiffed hair and designer suit, and plops a couple dimes on the counter on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Some people look at him and question his intellect. They’ll wonder whether or not he even cares about that $2,000, considering it’s less than his suit cost. But, Mr. Contrarian walks away knowing that he got 65 cents of value that should not have been there because nobody wanted to bet on the Brewers. The Brewers may win. They may not win. The one thing we cannot debate, however, is that Mr. Contrarian got the best of the number and that has proven to win more often than not over the long-term.

These are decisions that you are forced to make as a handicapper. It’s no fun losing and it’s no fun being an island, but it’s also not fun losing with everybody else. A lot of deep-pocketed professionals will subscribe to contrarian betting theories. It’s all about line value. It’s nearly impossible to get more line value than to bet on a team that nobody wants to bet on.

In this industry, we look for “buy points”. You try to buy low. You try to buy stock in a team that nobody wants to buy. Whether it’s simple variance or regression to the mean, those teams are generally going to improve. It’s harder to envision with a money line sport like baseball, but the Phoenix Suns aren’t going to get beat by 15 or more points every game over the course of a season. String together three or four of those losses and everybody throws that team away. Some bettors believe that is the time to buy.

The nice thing about sports betting is that there are a lot of approaches and a lot of ways to make money. Maybe contrarian betting doesn’t work for you. Maybe you don’t want to have to root for that bad team. Unders are usually the preferred total bets for professional handicappers. Why? Joe Public on his couch with a PBR tall boy and a bag of pork rinds is rooting for points. Oddsmakers and bookmakers know that Joe Public is rooting for points. It’s more fun to watch points. The percentage of <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sports-betting-what-is-sharp-money/"><strong>sharp players</strong></a> that oddsmakers and bookmakers are worried about is a lot smaller than the large percentage of public players that come in on the game no matter what. In a way, betting the under and the underdog are the simplest ways to be contrarian.

That’s not always the case. Sometimes the public will back an under or an underdog, in which case, sharp players generally go contrarian the other way. Sometimes, everybody is on the same page and a contrarian bettor will wait until close to kickoff, tip-off, or first pitch to get involved.

There’s no right or wrong way to handicap games, but there’s a wrong way to handicap the industry and that’s to not be aware of all of these different approaches and strategies. This is just one more for you to consider as you look to improve as a bettor and look to bang the books.

Florida Atlantic Owls vs Seton Hall Pirates NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

If you want division drama, you won’t find it in the National League West. It just won’t happen. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the largest division favorite in Major League Baseball and with good reason. After all, they won the NL West by 21 games last season and added the player some think is second to Mike Trout in the person of Mookie Betts.

It would take a serious amount of mental gymnastics to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why anybody other than the Dodgers would win the division. The Dodgers are not top-heavy like some teams in baseball. Sure, Betts and Cody Bellinger are going to carry the WAR torch for the Dodgers this season, but this is a team with depth, experience, flexibility, and a really good pitching staff that runs at least 8-10 starters deep with guys that can get outs.

Here are the odds to win the NL West per <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> as of February 20, 2020:

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/los-angeles-dodgers-win-total-analysis/149/"><strong>Los Angeles</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/los-angeles-dodgers-win-total-analysis/149/"> Dodgers</a> -735</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/arizona-diamondbacks-win-total-analysis/162/"><strong>Arizona</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/arizona-diamondbacks-win-total-analysis/162/"> Diamondbacks</a> +1175</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/san-diego-padres-win-total-analysis/140/"><strong>San Diego</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/san-diego-padres-win-total-analysis/140/"> Padres</a> +1325</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/colorado-rockies-win-total-analysis/154/"><strong>Colorado</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/colorado-rockies-win-total-analysis/154/"> Rockies</a> +7500</strong>

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/san-francisco-giants-win-total-analysis/139/"><strong>San Francisco</strong></a><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/san-francisco-giants-win-total-analysis/139/"> Giants</a> +14500</strong>

Realistically speaking, the only question in the NL West is whether or not you want to lay the enormous -735 price tag on the Dodgers. To be honest, there is some value in it as far as I’m concerned. This line implies that the Dodgers win the NL West about 88% of the time. I think they win the NL West 100% of the time.

It would take a disbanding of the team or some sort of season-long suspension or something catastrophic for the Dodgers not to win this division. Nothing that happens on the field of play would change the outcome. Even if every young player for the San Diego Padres comes up and sets the world on fire, the Dodgers are still going to win the division. Unless some sort of extremely contagious illness rolls through the clubhouse, the Dodgers are going to win the division.

If you really want to post up a lot of money and have it tied up for seven months time, be my guest. If you really badly want those drink tickets or those comp dollars, be my guest.

It is a bummer when we get a division this lopsided and uncompetitive. That being said, the Diamondbacks and Padres could both be really good teams. The other two teams won’t be.

It is worth noting that the Dodgers were -400 last season. I said it should be at least -500. It turns out that was too low as well. Hell, -735 is too low.

There aren’t really any options here other than to tie up a bunch of money for a while. Enjoy those free domestic beers at the bar if you decide to do it.

<p>Week 4 of the 2021 NFL season kicks off with Thursday Night Football from Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, so we bring you the best Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals betting pick, tips, and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Jags meet the Bengals for the third straight season, and over the last two years, they split a couple of games at Paul Brown Stadium. This time around, the Bengals are listed as firm 7.5-point favorites, while the totals sit at 45.5 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>The Jaguars are off to a terrible start</strong></h2>



<p>The Jacksonville Jaguars fell to 0-3 straight up and ATS on the season following a 31-19 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals. They failed to cover an 8-point spread, as the Jags’ offense had another bad day in the office.</p>



<p>Jacksonville had a 13-7 lead at halftime thanks to Jamal Agnew’s 109-yard kick-six. The Jags fell apart in the second half, and Trevor Lawrence finished the game with 219 yards, a TD, and a pair of interceptions. Jacksonville turned the ball over four times and didn’t stand a chance against the in-form Cardinals.</p>



<p>At least, the Jags had 29 carries for 159 rushing yards, as their ground game finally worked well. James Robinson accounted for 15 totes, 88 yards, and a TD, while Carlos Hyde had eight carries for 44 yards. On the other side of the ball, the Jaguars allowed 407 total yards, and the Cardinals went 3-for-4 in the red zone.</p>



<h2><strong>The Bengals smashed the Steelers on the road&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>After five straight losses at Heinz Field, the Cincinnati Bengals (2-1; 2-1 ATS) beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road this past Sunday, 24-10. Playing as slight road underdogs, the Bengals fully deserved their victory over the arch-rivals even though they racked up just 268 total yards and 12 1<sup>st</sup> downs.</p>



<p>Joe Burrow completed 14 of his 18 passing attempts for 172 yards and three touchdowns. Ja’Marr Chase had four catches for 65 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while Joe Mixon added 18 carries for 90 yards.</p>



<p>The Bengals put on a strong defensive performance in Pittsburgh last weekend. They picked off Ben Roethlisberger twice and limited the Steelers to one touchdown from three visits to the red zone. Through the first three weeks, the Bengals are surrendering just 18.0 points per game (6<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 317.0 total yards (8<sup>th</sup>).</p>

<h2 id="h-jacksonville-jaguars-vs-cincinnati-bengals-pick"><strong>Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals Pick</strong></h2>



<p>I don’t feel comfortable with a 7.5-point spread, but the Bengals look like a much better team than the Jaguars at the moment. Jacksonville has some serious problems on the defensive end, while the Jags’ offense is still trying to figure it out with rookie Trevor Lawrence under center.</p>



<p>On the other side, Joe Burrow looks sharp and ready to rumble. He should torture the Jags’ secondary all night long, and if the Bengals’ defense continues to play at a high level, the hosts will come out on top, hopefully by a touchdown.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Cincinnati Bengals -6.5 at -138&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>With the line at 45.5 points, I have to take the over on the totals. The Jags are yielding 30.3 points on 418.0 total yards per contest. Their secondary will have a mountain to climb in this matchup, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe Burrow throws for three or more touchdowns.</p>



<p>On the flip side, the Bengals’ defense has been excellent thus far, but the Jags should be able to score at least two touchdowns. I’m expecting the visitors to trail for most of the clash and lean on their passing game.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 45.5 points at -110</strong></p>
