San Diego State Aztecs vs California Golden Bears NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

<p>The 2022 NFL Divisional Playoffs kick off Saturday, January 22, 2022, with the AFC showdown from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, so we bring you the best Bengals vs. Titans betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>Cincinnati meets Tennessee for the first time since November 2020 when the Bengals beat the Titans 31-20 as 7-point home underdogs. The Bengals are 3.5-points road dogs this time around, while the totals are set at 47.0 points.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Bengals barely outlasted Las Vegas in the wild-card round    </h2>



<p>The Cincinnati Bengals (11-7; 11-7 ATS) defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 26-19 in the wild-card round of the 2022 NFL playoffs, covering a 6-point spread in front of the home fans. However, it wasn’t a comfortable victory for the Bengals, who scored only a couple of field goals in the second half.</p>



<p>Joe Burrow led the way for Cincinnati last weekend, tossing for 244 yards and a couple of touchdowns. Rookie wideout Ja’Marr Chase had nine receptions for 116 yards, while tight end C.J. Uzomah posted six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown.</p>



<p>The Bengals had only 83 rushing yards on 25 carries against the resilient Raiders’ defense. At least, they took good care of the ball, while the Raiders committed a pair of turnovers, including Derek Carr’s interception with 17 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter.</p>



<p>Cincinnati managed to grab its first playoff win since 1990. The Bengals have gone 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS over their previous five games overall.</p>



<h2>The Titans aim for their fourth straight W           </h2>



<p>The Tennessee Titans (12-5; 10-7 ATS) enjoyed a bye in the wild-card round after clinching the No. 1 seed in the American Football Conference. They retained the AFC South crown despite missing Derrick Henry in the final nine weeks of the regular season.</p>



<p>Henry suffered a foot injury in Week 8. He’s been outstanding in the first half of the season, posting 937 yards and ten touchdowns on 219 totes. Henry should return to the starting lineup Saturday against the Bengals, but he’ll probably be on limited reps.</p>



<p>D'Onta Foreman, who replaced Henry in the backfield, finished the regular season with 566 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 133 totes. Ryan Tannehill threw for 3,734 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, while WR A.J. Brown posted 63 receptions for 869 yards and five touchdowns.</p>



<p>The Titans made it to the postseason for the third consecutive year. They are riding a three-game winning streak following a 28-25 road victory over the Houston Texans in Week 18. Tennessee has gone 3-5 ATS in its previous eight outings at any location.</p>



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



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



<ul><li>5-0 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games on the road</li></ul>



<p><strong>Tennessee:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-6 ATS in the last seven games against Cincinnati</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games in January&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-cincinnati-bengals-vs-tennessee-titans-pick">Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tennessee Titans Pick</h2>



<p>The Titans own the second-best run D in the NFL, allowing only 84.6 rushing yards per game. Also, they surrender just 3.9 yards per carry (4<sup>th</sup>), but the Titans’ secondary is a problem, yielding 245.2 passing yards per contest (25<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Hereof, I’m expecting the Bengals to keep it close on the back of their passing offense. Joe Burrow is doing a superb job in his second professional season, while Ja’Marr Chase is enjoying a wonderful rookie campaign. The Bengals should have enough firepower to deal with the Titans’ offense. Cincy surrenders 22.1 points per game (17<sup>th</sup>) on 102.5 rushing yards (5<sup>th</sup>) and 248.4 passing yards (26<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Cincinnati Bengals +3.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>I’m expecting the Bengals to take advantage of the Titans’ passing D, while Tennessee should look for the same thing on the other side. Cincinnati’s secondary has had some issues in the regular season, and the Titans possess some deadly weapons in A.J. Brown and Julio Jones.</p>



<p>Five of Cincinnati’s last eight contests have produced more than 47 points in total. On the other hand, the under is 4-1 in Tennessee’s last five outings and 8-2 in the Titans’ previous ten home contests.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 47.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Temple Owls vs Rhode Island Rams NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

I’ve never done two weeks in Vegas. I did a week and a half once. I lived to tell the tale. Were it not for COVID-19, next week’s CJ Cup probably wouldn’t be at Shadow Creek and the PGA Tour wouldn’t have a two-week stay in Sin City, but that is the case for this season. Before we get to the CJ Cup, we have this week’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin.

The players can’t get in as much trouble in Vegas as usual due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean they won’t go out and at least enjoy some of the restaurants and the other opportunities. Vegas has been an area particularly hit hard by COVID, both by positive cases and by the economic destruction brought about by the illness. This could be a little bit of a touch-and-go couple weeks as far as the testing protocols, so you’ll have to weigh the risk-reward of getting the best prices, but also making sure that your guys are actually in the field for matchups and outrights.

We’ll have the full-field odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open down below the body content of the tournament preview.
<h3><strong><u>The Field</u></strong></h3>
We’ve got a really strong field for this event, even though the prize pool is a little bit lower than most tournaments. That includes names like Bryson DeChambeau, Francesco Molinari, Jason Day, Collin Morikawa, Hideki Matsuyama, and last weeks winner, Sergio Garcia. Rickie Fowler and Webb Simpson are also on hand, along with Patrick Cantlay, Paul Casey, Scottie Scheffler, and Tony Finau.

It is fair to wonder what this field would look like if not for COVID-19. Big names like Patrick Reed, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Justin Rose, and Matthew Fitzpatrick are instead playing the BMW PGA Championship. It’s fair to assume some guys would be there and others like Rory McIlroy and Francesco Molinari would likely be there as well.

In any event, we’ve got a solid field for the Shriners Open. Certainly better than what we’ve seen since the U.S. Open.
<h3><strong><u>Course Profile</u></strong></h3>
TPC Summerlin is a par 72 around 7,250 yards. Desert winds can kick up around the course, but for the most part, this is a pretty straightforward course with a lot of chances to go low. The winning score last year was Kevin Na’s 23-under and that was in a playoff over Cantlay. DeChambeau won at 21-under in 2018. Cantlay won at 9-under in 2017, which is far and away the worst winning score. This event was five days up until 2004. Since then, the closest thing to Cantlay’s 9-under is Smylie Kaufman’s 16-under in 2015.

This course just doesn’t really penalize players unless you hit one into some desert brush or some rocks. There are a few bunkers, but limited hazards otherwise, which is to be expected in Las Vegas given that water hazards are not going to be prevalent. You can be really aggressive here. Depending on the wind conditions, there are likely to be two drivable par 4s and the greens play pretty easy compared to a lot of courses we see on the PGA Tour calendar.
<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
Our horse for course section isolates players that perform well at a given course. A lot of big names play well here. Patrick Cantlay has a win and two runner-up finishes. Bryson DeChambeau has a win and is second to Cantlay in course-adjusted CH Index per DataGolf. Webb Simpson has played 32 rounds here and is third in that metric. Luke List and Rickie Fowler round out the top five in that metric.

Guys like Beau Hossler, who has a lot of flaws to his game, but generally putts well, Adam Hadwin, Patton Kizzire, Kevin Na, Ryan Palmer, and Ryan Moore also play well here relative to the CH Index.

As far as some finishes, along with Cantlay’s win and two seconds, DeChambeau has a fourth, first, and seventh here. Lucas Glover has back-to-back top-10 finishes at this track. He was also third back in 2017.

As far as other players, Chesson Hadley was T-18th last year, but T-7th and T-4th the two previous years. Pat Perez has a couple of top-10 finishes within the last four years, including a standalone third last year.

<h3><strong><u>Stats Handicap</u></strong></h3>
Tony Finau led the field in SG: Tee-to-Green last season, but was one of the worst putters in the field and that led to a T-9th. Cantlay was a close second in SG: T2G, but he, too, struggled to make enough putts. Hadley, Glover, and Matt Every were the others in the top five. Winner Kevin Na was actually pretty bad in every category except for putting, where he dominated the field.

DeChambeau paced the field by quite a bit in 2019 in SG: T2G. Cantlay was a distant second, followed by Sam Ryder, Joaquin Niemann, and Robert Streb. Finau led the field in SG: T2G by a good margin in 2018, but, again, the flatstick hurt him. DeChambeau was fifth that year.

Basically, what we’re looking for this week is a ball-striker that will putt well enough to not hurt himself or an elite putter that will be average enough across the board to be in contention.

The first name that stands out to me in that regard is Webb Simpson. Simpson was 16th in SG: T2G last season and 13th in SG: Putting. Of the great ball strikers, Webb is one of the more competent putters. He doesn’t have anywhere near the length of DeChambeau off the tee, but he’s in that class of putter and his iron play is top-notch. His +1000 price is not super appealing, but he’s played very well here and fits the course profile perfectly.

He hasn’t played a lot of rounds here, but Harris English also fits that mold a little down the board. He was 18th in SG: Putting during the last PGA Tour season. English was 18th in SG: T2G last season and is coming off of a fourth-place finish in the U.S. Open. English’s price is only +2500, but he’s filled up the stat sheet with great metrics, even if he hasn’t been able to get over the hump all that often.

Doc Redman at +8000 intrigues me. Redman is a terrific young ball-striker. The putter is his problem. Given what we’ve seen from past winners and contenders, you can contend if you strike it really well and aren’t in the deep negatives with the putter. Can Redman strike it with the favorites here and find a way to be better with the putter? I don’t know, but I do think he’s worth playing in matchups when those start to pop.

Similarly, guys like JT Poston and Kristoffer Ventura could pull a Kevin Na from last year and just putt so well that they win this thing. If nothing else, top-10 and top-20 finish props and matchups are worth examining with those guys.
<h3><strong><u>Picks</u></strong></h3>
With that in mind, Webb Simpson and Harris English make the cut in that 10 to 25/1 price range. This is a tournament in which you need to go low and do so consistently, so, again, like so many other tournaments, taking long shot prices is a challenge. Long shots hit in events with weaker fields, not like what we’re seeing here.

I’d pick a few of the ball strikers at short prices and hope you hit on the right one. It’s possible a putter comes from off the pace and pulls that Kevin Na, but this is a course where aggression is rewarded and that means guys that can rip it off the tee and flag hunt after they do.

<p>Most sports fans are starting to get excited for the start of football season, but it’s all about basketball at the University of Kansas. Bill Self and his team just recently embarked on a three-game tour of the Caribbean as they get ready for the 2023-24 season.</p>



<p>The Jayhawks actually suffered a loss to the national team from the Bahamas, ending a 35-game winning streak in exhibition games. That streak dated all the way back to 2012, but the loss makes a bit of sense after seeing who played for the Bahamas.</p>



<p>Buddy Hield led the Bahamas with 19 points in the game, and Eric Gordon chipped in with 12 points to pick up an 87-81 victory. Kansas did respond with an 87-82 victory in the rematch, and that win might say more about this team than the loss.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/bookmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet on the NCAAB at Bookmaker!</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-big-betting-favorite">A Big Betting Favorite</h2>



<p>The preseason AP top 25 poll will be released a bit later this year, but everyone expects the Kansas Jayhawks to be at the top of that list. The UConn Huskies enter 2023-24 as the defending champions in college basketball, but it’s clear that Kansas is the most talented team on paper.</p>



<p>If you are looking to bet on the eventual college basketball champion for the upcoming season, then the Kansas Jayhawks are the betting favorites as well. Those odds at BetOnline are currently set at +900 for the Jayhawks, just ahead of Purdue at +1000.</p>



<p>Head coach Bill Self always seems to put together a talented roster, and he was able to get that done again. Kansas returns star players such as Dajuan Harris Jr, Kevin Adams Jr, and Kevin McCullar Jr., and they also added Hunter Dickinson through the transfer portal.</p>



<p>There are some other very talented teams that are going to contend for a national championship in 2023-24 as well, and they are mostly blue blood programs. The Kentucky Wildcats enter the season with odds set at +1200, and Duke and UConn both check in at +1400.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-dickinson-makes-a-difference">Dickinson Makes a Difference</h2>



<p>While the three returning starters for Kansas have all played a significant role throughout their careers, it’s going to be Hunter Dickinson that has the biggest impact. Dickinson was an All-American while playing for the Michigan Wolverines, and he should thrive in the system that is used by Bill Self.</p>



<p>Kansas is a team that always wants to dominate opponents in the paint with their high-low offense, and Dickinson can fill both roles. He is great on the low post, and he can also step out and make shots on the perimeter if teams back off of him.</p>



<p>Betting on the Wooden Award is another great option when it comes to college basketball, and Dickinson is expected to be among the finalists. His odds to win that award are set at +700, which are the same as Kyle Filipowski from Duke.</p>



<p>Zach Edey is the clear favorite to win the Wooden Award at +175 (at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/">BetOnline</a>) after turning down the NBA for another run at Purdue.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bet-on-both">Bet on Both</h2>



<p>There is some luck involved when betting on futures in any sport, but that’s especially true when it comes to college basketball. The NCAA Tournament is known as March Madness for a reason, and there will always be upsets in this sport.</p>



<p>Bill Self knows how to win in March, though, and his team comes into this season absolutely loaded with talent. Dickinson is going to be the star for this Kansas team, and he became a Jayhawk for a chance at winning a title.</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on college basketball, then you should take Dickinson to win the Wooden Award at +700 and also take the Kansas Jayhawks at +900 to win the national championship.</p>
