Tennessee State Tigers vs Morehead State Eagles NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

Can the total on a baseball game tell us anything about which team will win? That's not really an easy question to answer, but there are a few indications that it does, especially when we get to games with high totals.

We'll use the last three seasons as our sample for this article and while that doesn't sound like much, remember it's twice as long as the NBA season and 10 times longer than the NFL season, so the number of games contained in that span is pretty significant.

For starters, let's look at the record and winning percentage of the favorite for each total, beginning with 5.5 and ending with 13.

5.5	2-0 (100%)
6.0	32-16 (66.7%)
6.5	125-98 (56.1%)
7.0	384-277 (58.1%)
7.5	687-459 (59.9%)
8.0	684-474 (59.1%)
8.5 	828-624 (57%)
9.0	624-469 (57.1%)
9.5	388-242 (61.6%)
10.0	165-103 (61.6%)
10.5	92-65 (58.6%)
11.0	52-44 (54.2%)
11.5	26-26 (50%)
12.0	19-12 (61.3)
12.5	11-12 (47.8%)
13	1-1 (50%)

If we were to break that down into two separate groupings, such as totals of 10 and under and totals of 10.5 and over, we'd see that in games with totals of 10 or less, favorites are 3919-2762, which is 58.7%.

In games where the total is 10.5 or higher, favorites are 201-160, which is 55.7%, or 3% less than games with lower totals. Blindly playing the underdogs in these games would have yielded a small flat-bet profit of $402 and an ROI of 1.1%, so we can use that as our foundation, but have a little bit of work to do to get it to a worthwhile winning percentage and return on our risk.

It's pretty simple in this case, as away underdogs with a total of 10.5 or higher have posted a 106-130 record, good for a profit of $1,210 and an ROI of 5%. Home underdogs are 54-71, but at a lower take price and would have resulted in a loss of $800 and a -6.5% ROI.

Now, if you read the <a href="http://bangthebook.com/rested-underdog-baseball-betting-system/"><strong>Rested Underdog Baseball Betting System</strong></a> that was just posted, you saw how rested underdogs have performed poorly, so if we look at away underdogs with no rest, our record would improve to 100-115 and have yielded a profit of $1925 and an ROI of 8.9% and if they are dogs of +120 or greater, our winning percentage drops slightly, but our return is greater, as these teams have gone 65-81 for a profit of $1,648 and an ROI of 11.2%.

Underdogs of less than +120 have actually posted a winning record, going 35-34, but show a small profit of $277 and an ROI of 4%, which isn't bad, but not quite as good as larger underdogs have fared.

To sum up, take unrested away underdogs of +120 or more in games where the total is at least 10.5.

Utah Runnin' Utes vs Iowa Hawkeyes NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

<p>UFC action returns to Denver this weekend for the first time since 2018, but this has always been a site of some great events. The first few major UFC events took place in the Mile High City, and it’s had a history of delivering epic results.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While there won’t be any major bouts taking place this time around, the action during this upcoming Fight Night should be fun to follow. Here is a look at some of the top bouts of the night, and the best <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bets</a> that should be made. </p>



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



<p>The main event of the night will feature a pair of flyweights that are both looking for a signature win to keep their momentum going. Tracy Cortez will be looking to win in a pinch, but she is the underdog against Rose Namajunas.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Namajunas will be fighting close to home in this bout, and she is the favorite at -205 on Saturday night. Cortez was noble in taking up this fight, but her odds being set at +175 suggest that she is going to struggle in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This should end up being a good matchup, but it’s one that will end up going in the way of Namajunas. Even though Cortez is a proven fighter at this weight class, she will come up short in this bout. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Veterans Ready for Welterweight Matchup</h2>



<p>There are some other great fights set to take place on Saturday, including an interesting matchup between a pair of welterweights. Santiago Ponzinibbio is set to take on Muslim Salikhov, and these are two proven fighters in that weight class.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It seems strange that these two fighters have never met up before, but they are set to deliver a great battle on Saturday night. Salikhov is the betting underdog in this fight at +165, and Ponzinibbio is currently favored to win the fights at -190.</p>



<p>Those are some really tight odds for this battle, and that’s why should expect to see a great matchup in this one. Looking for upset picks should always be the goal, and there is a good chance to cash in with this one.&nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet</a> on Salikhov to get it done in the Octagon as he will come away with the win at +165. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interesting Lightweight Clash</h2>



<p>There will be another resident of Denver fighting this weekend as lightweight Drew Dober will be looking to put on a show for his family and friends. He was always scheduled to fight in this event, but he will be joined by Jean Silva on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Silva is coming into this fight without much time to prepare, and he also struggled to fight well in his most recent bout. While that might make him feel like an underdog, the odds are nearly identical for him at Dober.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This should be a battle in which both fighters spend time trying to feel out the other fighter, and it will lead to a decision. Take Dober at -109 on Saturday night as fighting at home will give him the slight edge.</p>
