Edwards Stadium. CBS Sports Network will broadcast the action and the pivotal afternoon game is scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. ET.
<h2>FIU vs. Marshall Betting Odds 11/30/2019</h2>
Marshall is favored by 8 points in this CUSA matchup. The Panthers are currently getting +250 moneyline odds while the Thundering Herd are -330. This CUSA matchup will likely present multiple live betting opportunities. The over/under has been set at 49.5 points.

The Panthers are 6-5 straight up (SU), including 3-4 SU against CUSA opponents. The Thundering Herd are 7-4 SU overall and 5-2 SU in conference play. The disappointing Panthers are down 4.7 units so far and 3-8 against the spread (ATS). The team has posted an O/U record of 5-6.

The Thundering Herd have lost 0.1 units this season. They're 4-7 ATS and have an O/U record of 6-5.

The Panthers just got a 30-24 win over Miami (FL) last weekTheir defense allowed the Hurricanes to rush for 164 yards on 31 attempts, along with one rushing TD. Cam'Ron Harris had a productive day for the Hurricanes in that one with 86 rushing yards and a score on 11 attempts. On the offensive side, James Morgan completed just 16 passes on 30 attempts for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Anthony Jones (112 rushing yards on 16 attempts, one TD) led the ground attack in the win while Tony Gaiter IV (six receptions, 82 yards, one TD) and Shemar Thornton (six catches, 70 yards, one TD) handled the receiving duties.

Marshall just fell 24-13 to Charlotte. The defensive unit allowed the 49ers to kill the clock by rushing for 256 yards on 51 attempts, including two rush TDs. Chris Reynolds put up a solid showing for Charlotte, posting 145 rushing yards and a score on 25 attempts. For Marshall, Isaiah Green completed six-of-17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Brenden Knox (92 yards on 22 rush attempts) mounted the ground attack in the defeat while Armani Levias (two receptions, 17 yards) and Sheldon Evans (one catch, four yards) led the pass-catching attack.

When looking at offensive play selection, each of these teams has a nearly identical (58-42) run-pass ratio on the season. The Panthers have produced 176 rush yards per game (including 164 per game against Conference USA opponents) and have 20 touchdowns via handoffs this year. The Thundering Herd are totaling 195 rushing yards per contest (189 in conference) and have 17 total rush TDs.

It seems like the Thundering Herd may hold an advantage when it comes to RB efficiency. Their backfield has generated 5.0 yards per carry while the defense is allowing a YPC of 3.8 to opponents. The Panthers have rushed for 4.6 yards per carry while allowing a YPC of 5.3 to opponents.

The Panthers have tallied 202 yards/game through the air overall (206 per game against conference opposition) and have 12 passing scores so far. The Thundering Herd have recorded 211 pass yards per game (226.9 against CUSA competition) and have 14 total pass TDs.

Defensively, FIU seems to have the upper hand when it comes to limiting the pass. The team has allowed opponents to run for an average of 201 yards and pass for 187 yards per game. Marshall has allowed 139.3 yards per game on the ground and 226.7 to opposing teams in the air. The Panthers are allowing an adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) of only 5.09 to opposing QBs, while the Thundering Herd have given up a 5.85 ANY/A.

Morgan is up to 1,845 passing yards this year, and has completed 144-of-245 attempts with 12 passing touchdowns and only two interceptions. Morgan's got a 7.54 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number sits at 5.85 over the last two games.

The Panthers will probably try to control the clock by pounding the defense with their running backs. In addition to receiver Tony Gaiter IV (431 receiving yards and three touchdowns), Napoleon Maxwell (494 rush yards, six rush TDs) and Anthony Jones (750 rush yards, eight rush TDs, two receiving TDs) have really been focal points in the FIU offense.

For the home team, Isaiah Green has recorded 1,962 yards, 12 TDs and eight INTs. Green's ANY/A stands at 6.12 for the season and 3.26 over his last two outings.

The Thundering Herd also like to keep their RBs featured. Along with Obi Obialo (22 receiving yards), Brenden Knox (1,025 rush yards, eight rush TDs, 120 receiving yards) and Sheldon Evans (311 rush yards, one rush TD) have gotten a lot of touches lately.

These two programs met last year with the final outcome being a 28-25 victory for Marshall.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks Betting Pick & Prediction 11/9/24

The NBA Draft will take place at some point. It may to an empty room with a commissioner just announcing the picks, but a new crop of potential superstars will be making its way to the Association sometime in the not too distant future.

Unfortunately, with the cancellation of most of the major conference tournaments, the NCAA Tournament, and the NIT, players were unable to improve their draft stock with some big performances under the bright lights. Who knows how much those data points could have altered the trajectories and projected draft spots of those that were going to declare or run out of eligibility after this season, but NBA teams have plenty of time to go over film and conduct phone and online interviews with players and their representation.

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> has put together some NBA Draft props for the top five picks. Obviously it is difficult to pinpoint who get picked where because we don’t know what the draft order is going to look like, but all of these players are at plus prices and there could be some good values on the board.

These are all players that are going to help the bad lottery teams. As of 2019, the NBA changed its Draft Lottery rules in an effort to limit tanking. The three worst teams all have equal odds of 14% to get the first pick. The chances for the remaining 14 teams are 12.5%, 10.5%, 9%, 7.5%, 6%, 4.5%, 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%, and 0.5%.

We’ll have to see how the rest of the season and the Draft Lottery play out, but we can take a look at these odds and the players in the meantime as a point of discussion.

Here are the odds and the players for the top five picks as of March 29 from BetOnline Sportsbook:

<strong><u>1st Overall Pick</u></strong>

Anthony Edwards +125

James Wiseman +150

LeMelo Ball +400

Obi Toppin +1000

Deni Avdija +1200

Cole Anthony +2000

Cole Anthony probably wouldn’t have gotten the chance to improve his draft stock in the NCAA Tournament, but it was clear how important he was to the North Carolina Tar Heels given how they played without him. The guy that could have gotten the biggest boost from the NCAA Tournament was Dayton’s Obi Toppin. Many felt like he was the player of the year for what he was doing with that Dayton Flyers juggernaut. We could have seen it firsthand in March Madness, but the coronavirus outbreak took that opportunity away.

Anthony Edwards of Georgia is the favorite here at +125. There wasn’t a lot that Edwards could do on his own to elevate the Bulldogs, who did underachieve given the talent level on that team. We didn’t see much from James Wiseman of Memphis, as he only played three games while under NCAA investigation for improper benefits by head coach Penny Hardaway. Wiseman has the size at 7-foot-1, but missed out on an important season from a development standpoint.

LaMelo Ball opted to go play overseas in Australia. Like Deni Avdija, playing against grown men should certainly help his chances of going high in the NBA Draft and some believe he could very well be the #1 overall pick. At +400, Ball is the best value on the board here.

<strong><u>2nd Overall Pick</u></strong>

Anthony Edwards +150

James Wiseman +250

LaMelo Ball +250

Obi Toppin +400

Deni Avdija +600

It is certainly a guessing game as to which player will go first overall and then who winds up being the “consolation” prize. The reality is that there is no clear #1 pick, which means that the teams picking in the top five all seem to have a relatively equal chance of ending up with the best player.

If the Cavaliers got the second pick, it sure seems like they would want to go with size, so James Wiseman would make a lot of sense here. Obi Toppin could also go a long way in drawing some of that Cleveland-area Dayton fan base and he’s a big guy at 6-foot-8 with a lot of wing skills that the Cavaliers sorely need.

<strong><u>3rd Overall Pick</u></strong>

LaMelo Ball +250

James Wiseman +300

Obi Toppin +300

Anthony Edwards +500

Deni Avdija +500

Cole Anthony +800

At this point, looking at a guy like Edwards at +500 makes a ton of sense. If he doesn’t go in the first two picks, it seems hard to envision him getting picked that far down the board. Basically, if he doesn’t go first or second and you keep getting better and better prices on him, that seems like a good investment. And there is a real chance that he does not go first or second overall with the teams that are in the mix and the respective needs that they have.

<strong><u>4th Overall Pick</u></strong>

LaMelo Ball +300

Obi Toppin +300

Deni Avdija +400

James Wiseman +450

Cole Anthony +600

Onyeka Okongwu +800

Anthony Edwards +1000

Deni Avdija is a real wild card in this draft. For one thing, he got to play against adults for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. For another, we didn’t get to see a lot of these highly-touted college players on the ultimate stage. Some teams are inherently hesitant to gamble on European players. Other teams welcome the challenge. Without knowing how the draft order will fall, it is kind of tough to pinpoint exactly where he could go or if he’ll even be a top-five pick.

To say that there’s betting value on him with that in mind would be disingenuous, but if you start projecting out the potential top five, if there are teams that don’t mind going the non-North American route, you could find an opportunity.

<strong><u>5th Overall Pick</u></strong>

Cole Anthony +400

Deni Avdija +400

LaMelo Ball +400

Obi Toppin +400

James Wiseman +600

Onyeka Okongwu +600

RJ Hampton +900

Anthony Edwards +1600

Onyeka Okongwu is an interesting name. Scouts will love the athleticism. But, what is his position at the next level? At 6-foot-9, can he bang down low with bigger players? Can he handle the ball well enough to play on a wing? Will teams play the risk-reward game or will they look for more certainty?

The fourth or fifth picks honestly feel like landing spots for Cole Anthony. His skill set was obscured by the injury and how bad the Tar Heels were, but teams are going to love a lot of what they saw and understand that a kid who could have been the #1 pick is a great value at a spot like this.

Again, we’ll see when the NBA Draft Lottery takes place and have a better idea of where these guys could go, but for now, there may be some values to be had.
