If you listen to a lot of the speculation, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs might join the Clemson Tigers in the four-team college football playoff, regardless of the result of Saturday's game between them. These two programs have mat in an SEC title game and national title game in recent years, but they have not met in the regular season since 2015. Alabama has notoriously gotten a break from SEC schedule-makers, so they've usually been able to avoid the big boys outside of their own division.

There is no question that the loser here will have their work cut out for them. They go at it in Tuscaloosa at 8 PM ET.

Alabama is ranked second in the nation by the Associated Press. Georgia is third. And the wild card here is the status of Nick Saban, who tested positive for the coronavirus this week and needs three negative tests, spaced appropriately, in order to patrol the sidelines this week. We don't have confirmation of anything as of this writing.
<h3><strong>GEORGIA BULLDOGS at ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE, 8 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> Line: Alabama -5, Total 58</strong></h4>
You have undoubtedly heard a lot about Nick Saban's continued success when going up against his former assistant coaches. He is now 21-0 after beating Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss last week. But that did not come without some struggle on the defensive end. they gave up 647 yards and 31 first downs, with 4.7 yards a rushing attempt, and those just aren't the kind of numbers anyone is used to seeing against them, unless it's against a top-level foe.

Thankfully for them, they were facing an Ole Miss team that, while rather artful on the scoring end with Kiffin, doesn't play defense. So they were able to play a little "pinball" with 723 yards, 7.8 yards a carry and 63 points.

I would doubt they're going to play pinball this week.

No team in the country this season has held its opponents to fewer yards per play than Georgia (3.5). And they played against three teams from the SEC (Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee) who will probably wind up in some kind of bowl game.

Being able to throttle Auburn, holding the War Eagle to just 216 yards and a couple of field goals, got the attention of a lot of people, although that result probably meant more then than it does now.

We don't know if we can say that this is Alabama's best offense. But this will be a test of it. Mac Jones is setting the world on fire right now; he is completing 80% of his passes and is averaging 13.3 yards per attempt. That's pretty crazy. He has put the ball in the air just 83 times and has thrown eight touchdowns. In the early going, 'Bama is averaging 560 yards a contest.

Jones is a guy who can take this team downfield; last year, for instance, he averaged over 18 yards an attempt when throwing the ball more than ten yards beyond the line of scrimmage. This year he is 72% with 21 yards an attempt. And when you expand that to the 20 yards-plus category, the average is 37 yards an attempt . That's not only phenomenal. It is the characteristic that forces the defense to construct their game plan completely differently.

Yet Alabama has found time to run the ball, doing it 52% of the time. And that's important. Of course, when you have Najee Harris, you'll be okay doing that. He's averaging 3.6 yards per attempt after contact and had 206 yards vs. Ole Miss. Georgia gives up 1.5 yards per rush. So it's a battle.

I think the bottom line in this contest is that Georgia, which was dominated by the LSU offense last year, may not be in a position to trade. And trade is what they may have to do.

Yes, they have glittering defensive stats, and that includes an opponents' 28% on third down. But the attacks they have faced are pedestrian compared to the one Alabama offers. The challenge the Tide presents is that they will make you cover the whole field. Georgia will have to have those safeties ready to cover deep, because Jones' performance has been out of this world in that respect, and it's so unusual that it counts for an awful lot here. But then, up the gut or to the outside, Harris can burn you too.

Georgia QB Stetson Bennett, who surprisingly won the job in fall practice, is a capable game manager but maybe not a dynamic passer yet. And the Bulldogs don't have the kind of running game that bruises opponents, as they have almost constantly had in the recent past.

We appreciate everything Kirby Smart can do, and he has scared Saban in the past, but he had better offensive weapons in those games. A lot of defenses are great, but Alabama has the ability to make enough big plays that they are going to be one score (at least) better in the end. BAMA

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.

<p>The NFL is providing plenty of interesting games in Week 11, and one of them is this conference clash on Sunday, November 20, so here you can check out the best Bengals vs. Steelers betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Cincinnati is looking to stay right behind Baltimore in the divisional standings with a win over the Steelers when they visit Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium. The Bengals are 5-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 41 points. These AFC North foes have already met this season, and the Steelers surprised the Bengals with a 23-20 overtime win in Cincy.</p>



<p><strong>Bengals erupted for 42 points in a win over the Panthers</strong></p>



<p>The Cincinnati Bengals (5-4-0, 6-3-0 ATS) displayed their best offensive performance of the season in a 42-21 home victory over the Carolina Panthers. Although one would think that Joe Burrow exploded for four or five passing touchdowns in this big win, which actually wasn’t the case. Cincinnati destroyed the Panthers on the ground and scored a season-high 42 points. The Bengals dominated total yards (464-228), first downs (30-13), and possession (39:21-20:39), while the hosts forced three turnovers and committed none on the other end.</p>



<p>Joe Burrow completed 22 of 28 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown, along with one rushing TD. Joe Mixon had a terrific game as he recorded four rushing and one receiving touchdown, in what was the best game of his career. Mixon led all the runners with 153 yards on 22 carries, while he and Tee Higgins combined for 118 receiving yards on 11 targets. On defense, Akeem Davis-Gaither and Markus Bailey posted six tackles apiece.</p>



<p>WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and TE Drew Sample (knee) are unavailable and will not be ready to face the Steelers on Sunday. DT Josh Tupou (calf), CB Tre Flowers (hamstring), and S Dax Hill (shoulder) are questionable.</p>



<p><strong>Steelers got a win over the Saints thanks to a strong defense</strong></p>



<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6-0, 4-4-1 ATS), just like the Bengals, played their best game in Week 10 as they beat the New Orleans Saints 20-10 at home. It was their best defensive display of the campaign, as they were fueled up by T.J. Watt’s return from injury. The Steelers allowed a season-low ten points and kept the visitors off the scoreboard in the second half. They were better in every segment, including total yards (379-186), first downs (28-10), and possession (38:56-21:04), while the Steelers forced a pair of turnovers and didn’t commit a single one on the other side.</p>



<p>Kenny Pickett completed 18 of 30 passes for 199 yards. He did record a rushing touchdown and finished the game with 51 rushing yards on eight attempts. Najee Harris fell a yard short of a 100-rushing yard mark, but he led all the runners, while Diontae Johnson registered a game-high 63 receiving yards on four catches. Defensively, Robert Spillane led Pittsburgh with seven tackles, while Alex Highsmith had two sacks.</p>



<p>K Chris Boswell is on the injured reserve list with a groin injury, and there is no timetable for return. CB Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) and S Minkah Fitzpatrick (appendix) are questionable to play on Sunday against Cincinnati.</p>



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



<p><strong>Cincinnati:</strong></p>



<ul><li>16-5 ATS in the last 21 games overall</li><li>8-2 ATS in the last ten road games</li><li>10-2 ATS in the last 12 vs. AFC rivals</li><li>11-2 ATS in the last 13 games following an ATS win</li></ul>



<p><strong>Pittsburgh:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-9-1 ATS in the last 13 games following an ATS win</li><li>1-3-1 ATS in the last five vs. AFC opponents</li></ul>



<p><strong>Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Pittsburgh has one of the weakest offenses in the NFL that averages just 15.6 points per game. The Steelers score more than 20 points only once this season and guess what, it was in Week 1 against Cincinnati. I doubt they will score more than 20 in this one because the Bengals are allowing 20.6 ppg to their opponents. Pittsburgh is delighted to have T.J. Watt back in the lineup, but this defense is not the one we used to watch in previous years, especially the secondary. In fact, the Steelers have the third-worst pass defense in the league, and knowing Joe Burrow and Cincy’s receivers, they are going to slice them open on Sunday.</p>



<p><strong>The Pick:</strong> Take the Bengals at -3.5 (-125)</p>



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



<p>The Steelers' pass rush received a boost with Watt’s return and although I am backing Burrow and the visitors to get a win here, I do expect the hosts to put pressure on Cincy’s QB. However, the Bengals showed that they can run as well, through excellent Joe Mixon, so if their pass offense doesn’t work, they can turn to run. In any case, Cincinnati is going to control the game clock, and I don’t see a high amount of points here. Under is 6-2-1 in the last nine H2H meetings; Under is 8-0-1 in the Bengals’ previous nine vs. AFC rivals, while Under is 7-1 in the Steelers’ last eight home games.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 43.5 points (-133)</p>

<strong><u>Toronto</u></strong><strong><u> Blue Jays</u></strong>

FREE VLADIMIR GUERRERO JR.! The Blue Jays aren’t going anywhere this season. Or next season. Or for probably several seasons after that. If Vladimir Guerrero Jr. lives up to the hype, at least that would be a reason to pay attention. The Jays are well behind the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays and expectations are very low this season. After all, Guerrero accounted for more than 25 percent of the team’s projected fWAR via the FanGraphs Depth Charts system before playing time adjustments.

The Blue Jays went 73-89 last year and got 14 of their wins against Baltimore. This is a team that was simply awful against lefties with a league-worst 15-38 record. It is also a team that was 31-60 against teams .500 or better and 42-29 against fellow losing teams. The Jays were 15 games under .500 on the road and 40-41 at home.

John Gibbons is gone. Charlie Montoyo has taken over. Aside from that, Toronto did very little this winter to improve the ballclub, so there aren’t a lot of positive feelings about this team. As a general rule, that typically creates betting value and there will be some spots in which we can play the Blue Jays.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Money Line Spots</u></strong>

We should be able to get some decent prices, and likely some plus-money prices as well, by backing the Jays at home against fly ball pitchers. The Blue Jays have gotten on board with the fly ball revolution, as they ranked seventh in FB% and third in Pull%. Rogers Centre is a bad venue for ground ball hitters and a good venue for ground ball pitchers.

In terms of fly balls and line drives, only Coors Field and Yankee Stadium yielded a higher wOBA than Rogers Centre at .589. That was better than Texas, better than Fenway, better than Cincinnati, better than a lot of venues thought to be good hitter’s parks. When the Blue Jays face a fly ball pitcher, particularly one that has problems with right-handed hitters, Toronto will be worthy of consideration. This is also true of pitchers with bad command in general, even if they aren’t fly ball guys.

Perhaps playing 1st 5 inning bets in these situations will prove to be more fruitful, as the Jays don’t have a very good bullpen, but that will be a game-by-game consideration.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Totals Spots</u></strong>

Obviously, there is some correlation then between fly ball pitchers and bad command guys and totals. Toronto will hit at home against those guys, so those will be good over betting opportunities. With Fenway and Yankee Stadium in the top five as well, the Blue Jays are plenty capable of getting some runs in those venues also. Toronto actually had the best record to the over last season.

Now, on the flip side, when ground ball pitchers show up at Rogers Centre, unders will be the flavor of the day. The Jays did improve their infield defense with Freddy Galvis, which should help them. In terms of ground ball batting average, Rogers Centre was sixth behind Oakland, Arizona, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. One of those places has a humidor and the others all have that cool marine air that keeps the grass nice and lush.

As a team at Rogers Centre, the Blue Jays batted just .217 on ground balls. That was the lowest home batting average on ground balls in the league. They really are a feast or famine offense depending on the opposing pitcher.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Individual Players to Watch</u></strong>

<strong>Marcus Stroman – </strong>Who is Marcus Stroman? Stroman posted a 5.54 ERA last season, but much better numbers otherwise with a 3.91 FIP and a 3.84 xFIP. He had a 62.1 percent GB%, which should, theoretically, play extremely well at home. He had a .260 average against at home with a .319 wOBA and a 5.29 ERA. He was, in fact, worse on the road with a .297 average against and a .339 wOBA. He had a 5.76 ERA.

Stroman was hurt last season and also ran into a ton of bad luck thanks to bad defense and a 60.5 percent LOB%. On the other hand, some of the LOB% problems were self-inflicted with a drop in K% 19.7 percent to 17.2 percent. The market will like Stroman early with the big ERA/xFIP discrepancy. I’m going to need to get some data before I buy in.

<strong>Sean Reid-Foley and Thomas Pannone – </strong>Right now, the ceiling for the Jays rotation is very low. Stroman and Aaron Sanchez have had their problems. Ryan Borucki pitched about as well as he could, but he’s a regression candidate with a low K rate. It looks like Matt Shoemaker and Clayton Richard, a very extreme ground ball guy, are going to make the rotation.

The upside guys are Reid-Foley and Pannone and they should be in the front five sooner rather than later. Reid-Foley actually misses bats. Pannone is a standard-issue lefty with a three-pitch mix and good command. I’ll be eagerly anticipating when these guys arrive later in the year because a forgotten Blue Jays team could yield more value at that point.

We need not go into the story about how improbable the journey of the UCLA Bruins has been, except to say that if it results in two more victories, it might go down as one of the best underdog stories in the history of the NCAA Tournament.

But they've got quite an obstacle in front of them on Saturday night, as they take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who are trying to become the first team since Indiana in 1976 to go all the way undefeated.

This Final Four game begins at 8:34 PM ET at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It is televised by CBS, and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a>patrons can wager on this game with the "Live Betting" option at the top of the sportsbook interface.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NCAA Tournament - Final Four @ Indianapolis</strong></span>
<strong>UCLA BRUINS vs.GONZAGA BULLDOGS, 8:34 PM ET (CBS)</strong>

<strong>NCAA Tournament Odds: Gonzaga -14 (-115) / Total 145.5</strong>

Navigating their way through five opponents, including BYU, Alabama and Michigan, is no small thing for UCLA, which would become the only team to win seven games to capture the national title. They have performed well above their regular season standard in a number of areas, which include three-point shooting (37.8%) and even more dramatically, three-point defense (24.7%). Also, they have done an unbelievable job in taking care of the ball, committing only 36 turnovers (7.2 per game), with no more than eight in any contest.

Much of the credit for that has to go to Tyger Campbell, the point guard who has a 20-6 ratio of assists to six TO's in the tournament thus far. But part of the potential problem for UCLA is that Campbell is not a good enough shooter to stretch out defenses, and inasmuch as Gonzaga doesn't concern itself a lot with pure defensive pressure, they can probably direct their efforts somewhere else.

And primarily, that would be Johnny Juzang, the Kentucky transfer who has become a star in Indianapolis. Juzang has scored 29.6% of the Bruins' points in this tourney, and that includes 28 of the 51 points UCLA tallied in their Elite Eight win over Michigan. We'd expect the 'Zags to concentrate on him first, forcing the Bruins to find another outlet. Jules Bernard and Jaime Jaquez are both 39% shooters from downtown, but they have made only seven triples apiece in this tournament.

UCLA is going to have to pick its poison when it comes to dealing with Gonzaga's offense. Drew Timme has had 75 points on 64% shooting in these last three games. And Corey Kispert is 50% from beyond the arc in the NCAA Tournament. You may already know that Gonzaga is best in the nation from two-point range (63.7%), and of course, that includes Jalen Suggs and his charges to the hoop. The Bulldogs are 40.4% from three-point territory in these last four games, so you can see the dilemma. This is an instance where UCLA could have used the services of frontcourt people Jalen Hill and Chris Smith, but alas, they're not available.

It's not a secret that the Bruins are going to try and reduce the number of possessions here. But we have seen where that approach did not have much success against Gonzaga, which, for example, took the team dead last in the nation in Adjusted Tempo (Virginia) and practically ran them out of the gym with 98 points.

Let's see if UCLA finds a dependable scoring option aside from Juzang. And keep in mind that it is not unusual for the 'Zags to win by margins, as they have won 29 of 30 games by double-digits. We respect what UCLA has done, but must lay the points anyway.
