<p>The Week 7 of the NCAAF continues on Friday, October 14, when we have this American Conference duel, and you can get the best Midshipmen vs. Mustangs betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>SMU is desperate to avoid the fourth consecutive defeat when they welcome Navy at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Mustangs are -13.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 57.5 points. These conference foes have met once in 2021, and the Mustangs won that game 31-24 in Annapolis, MD.</p>



<p><strong>Midshipmen dismantled Tulsa at home</strong></p>



<p>The Navy Midshipmen (2-3, 3-2 ATS) scored a season-high 53 points in a 53-21 home win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and bounced back from a narrow loss to Air Force. Navy had a 36-14 lead at halftime and then controlled the game for the remainder. The Midshipmen were better in total yards (490-309), first downs (24-14), and possession (40:26-19:34), while the hosts committed only one turnover opposite Tulsa’s four.</p>



<p>As usual, Navy didn’t use its pass offense much but managed to record a passing TD Kai Puailoa-Rojas’ only pass attempt in the game. Tai Lavatai got that TD pass, but the Midshipmen were lethal on the ground with 455 yards and five touchdowns on 69 carries. Daba Fofana led the bunch with 159 yards and three touchdowns on 21 attempts. Defensively, Willie Collins V led the team with seven tackles.</p>



<p><strong>Mustangs disappointed in another loss</strong></p>



<p>The SMU Mustangs have suffered the third straight defeat as they scored season-low 19 points in a 41-19 road loss to the UCF Knights on the road. SMU actually equaled the number of total yards as the Knights (476-484) and more first downs (26-19) but committed two turnovers opposite UCF’s zero. The Knights scored 31 points in the second half, while the Mustangs scored only six in return.</p>



<p>Tanner Mordecai completed 28 of 45 passes for 295 yards and one interception. Rashee Rice was excellent in the air as he received 12 passes for 122 yards, but both of SMU’s touchdowns came on the ground. Velton Gardner led all the runners with 69 yards and a TD on 12 carries. On defense, Jimmy Phillips Jr. led all the defenders with game-high 11 tackles in total.</p>



<p>WR Jordan Kerley sat out the previous game with an unknown issue, and it is unclear if he will play on September 14 against Navy.</p>



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



<p><strong>Navy:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-0 ATS in the last four games following an ATS win</li><li>10-1 ATS in the last 11 games vs. a team with a losing record</li><li>22-7 ATS in the last 29 conference games</li></ul>



<p><strong>SMU:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-5 ATS in the last six conference games</li><li>0-4 ATS in the last four games following an ATS loss</li></ul>



<p><strong>Navy Midshipmen vs. SMU Mustangs Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Tanner Mordecai leads the offense that averages 355.0 passing yards per game, which is the 4th best pass offense in the country. On the other hand, the Midshipmen are not using their pass offense often, only 110.0 ypg, but they do have a top-15 run offense that averages 231.8 ypg, so I expect them to run the ball in this one. Daba Fofana is the man to watch on Friday, and given that the Mustangs are allowing 28.6 ppg and allowed 34+ points in each of their last three games, I believe the visitors have a chance here.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Midshipmen at -14.5 (-120)</p>



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



<p>The Mustangs opened the season with a couple of great offensive displays in which they scored 93 points, but after that, their offense didn’t play well. Navy did score 53 in a win over Tulsa, but that was an anomaly given that the Midshipmen are scoring 21.2 ppg, and I surely don’t expect the visitors to erupt again here. Under is 5-1 in the Midshipmen’s last six road games; Under is 9-4 in Navy’s previous 13 games overall, while Under is 4-1 in the Mustangs’ last five games overall.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 57.5 points (-110)</p>

<p>Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season will close down with the AFC showdown from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, so here’s the best Monday Night Football betting pick, as the Baltimore Ravens take on the Las Vegas Raiders.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Baltimore opened as a 6.5-point favorite, but after some serious injuries among the Ravens, that moved to four points. The bookies still believe the visitors are a better team in this matchup, while the totals sit at 50.0 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>The injury bug hit the Ravens hard&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>After J.K. Dobbins tore his ACL in the final preseason game, both Gus Edwards and Marcus Peters suffered season-ending injuries in practice, so the Baltimore Ravens will be quite shorthanded in 2021. The third-string RB Justice Hill is sidelined, too, leaving the undrafted rookie Ty’Son Williams to lead the Ravens’ backfield.</p>



<p>Latavius Murray will get some snaps as well, but the Ravens will certainly have to lean on Lamar Jackson a lot. Their ground game was the team’s trademark in the last few years, so it’s going to be interesting to see what’s the Ravens’ plan B.</p>



<p>Rookie wideout Rashod Bateman will miss multiple weeks, recovering from core-muscle surgery. Marquise Brown remains Lamar’s favorite target, while the Ravens expect a lot from Sammy Watkins, who joined the team in the offseason. Watkins had three solid seasons with Kansas City, but he’s also injury-prone.</p>



<h2><strong>The Raiders hope for another strong start&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Raiders have emerged victorious in their previous two openers and will try to extend their streak in 2021. Last season, Las Vegas beat Carolina on the road in Week 1, but the Raiders missed the postseason despite winning six of their first nine games.</p>



<p>Las Vegas struggled mightily on the defensive end in 2020, allowing 29.9 points per game (30<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 389.1 total yards (25<sup>th</sup>). Also, the Raiders recorded a paltry 21 sacks (29<sup>th</sup>) while allowing their opponents to convert 48.8 percent of their 3<sup>rd</sup> downs (30<sup>th</sup>). Gus Bradley is the Raiders’ new defensive coordinator, as Jon Gruden desperately needs more from its defensive unit.</p>



<p>On the other side of the ball, the Raiders will continue to rely on QB Derek Carr, RB Josh Jacobs, and TE Darren Waller. Carr tossed for 4103 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2020, while Waller was a monster, posting 107 receptions for 1196 yards and nine touchdowns. Jacobs ran for 1065 yards and 12 scores, so the Raiders have some deadly weapons on their offense.</p>



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



<p><strong>Baltimore:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-10 ATS in the last 15 games against the AFC West</li></ul>



<p><strong>Las Vegas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five outings in Week 1</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games played on Monday</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-baltimore-ravens-vs-las-vegas-raiders-pick"><strong>Baltimore Ravens vs. Las Vegas Raiders Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Ravens are a mystery, considering their injury problems. Nobody knows how their ground game is going to work without Dobbins and Edwards. On the other side, there’s a big question mark over the Raiders’ D, while their offense will have a tall task against the Ravens. Marcus Peters’ absence is a huge blow, but Baltimore has a lot of playmakers on defense.</p>



<p>This should be a tight clash, so with four points on the table, I’m backing the Raiders to cover. They’ll have strong support from the stands which could be an X-factor down the stretch. I don’t think the Ravens are capable of winning this game comfortably.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Las Vegas Raiders +4.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings between the Ravens and Raiders. Also, the Raiders’ last five contests went in the over. On the other hand, the under is 4-1 in Baltimore’s last five games overall, and it is 6-1 in the Ravens’ previous seven showings on the road.</p>



<p>The totals look like a tricky wager. I’ll go with the over, as the Raiders probably still have to gel things on the defensive end, while their offense should be able to surpass a 20-point mark at home.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 50.0 points at -110</strong></p>

<p>An exciting Western Conference First Round series is into game six and it could end Friday night when the Memphis Grizzlies visit the Los Angeles Lakers. Memphis extended their season one more game and will now have the tough task of beating the Lakers on the road to get the series back to Memphis. Below is my NBA pick for the Grizzlies vs Lakers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-memphis-grizzles-vs-los-angeles-lakers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Memphis Grizzles vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -4.5</p>



<p>This game will be played at crypto.com Arena at 10:30 p.m. on Friday, April 28, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-los-angeles-lakers"><a></a>Why Bet the Los Angeles Lakers:</h2>



<p>✅ Los Angeles has been good of late and have won 10 of their last 13 games overall and five straight home games.</p>



<p>✅ Against Memphis, the Lakers are 2-4 against the spread in their last six meetings.</p>



<p>✅ The Grizzlies are just 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-memphis-grizzlies-fighting-to-stay-alive"><a></a>Memphis Grizzlies Fighting to Stay Alive</h2>



<p>Game five was a typical NBA game that saw one team jump out a massive early game lead, the trailing team came all the way back, but then ran out of steam and the team that led early gets the win. This is exactly what happened in game five when the Grizzlies jumped out to a big first quarter lead and kept their season alive with a 116-99 victory.</p>



<p>Memphis won the first quarter by 14 points, but the Lakers started chipping away and were down just nine points at the half. The Lakers made it a one-point game late in the third quarter, trailing 75-74 with 4:36 left, but the Grizzlies quickly jumped ahead and led by 20 points just 14 seconds into the fourth quarter. A big game by Memphis with the season on the line.</p>



<p>Ja Morant continues to ball out as he had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in the win. Desmond Bane added 33 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in game five.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-los-angeles-lakers-are-one-win-away">The Los Angeles Lakers are One Win Away</h2>



<p>Los Angeles is getting nothing out of Anthony Davis and they made the decision to bench him at the most important time of the game. It will be interesting to see if this lights a fire under AD or if he sulks and is disengaged in game six.</p>



<p>In the game five loss, Anthony Davis did lead the Lakers with 31 points and 19 rebounds. LeBron James struggled, but did have 15 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists on the night.</p>

Saint Francis U Red Flash vs Central Connecticut State Blue Devils Betting Pick & Prediction 2/1/24

Sometimes bowl games offer the opportunity to put together teams that don't customarily play each other for the sake of creating a great geographical matchup. There is no question that the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Texas A&amp;M Aggies utilize many of the same recruiting territories, but they play in different conferences - A&amp;M in the SEC and OSU in the Big 12. But they were once yearly rivals in the Big 12.

Now they will meet in the Texas Bowl, which has been with us since 2006. Texas A&amp;M has been in this bowl twice before, while OSU is making the trip for the first time.

Kickoff is slated for 6:45 PM ET on Friday (December 27) at NRG Stadium in Houston.

This would appear to give Texas A&amp;M something of a home field edge, and that may be reflected in the odds that are posted on this game from the folks at <a href="http://betanysports.eu/btb50/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>:

<strong>Texas A&amp;M Aggies -7</strong>
<strong>Oklahoma State Cowboys +7</strong>

<strong>Over 54 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 54 points -110</strong>

OSU (8-4 SU, 9-3 ATS) lost to talented teams like Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma (in the 'Bedlam' game), with the big hiccup coming in Lubbock against Texas Tech (losing 45-35). They beat Kansas State and Iowa State, who have lurked around in the Top 25. The Cowboys currently occupy the #25 position in the Associated Press poll.

The offense is built around redshirt sophomore Chuba Hubbard, and if you're going to build it around any running back, he might as well be the guy. Hubbard is a native of Edmonton who played Canadian high school football for three years, rushing for 6880 yards with a 15-yard per carry average. He was also a track star, yet he came somewhat unheralded to the Stillwater campus.

He's not leaving that way. In fact, he's run for 1936 yards and 21 touchdowns, and feels a bit slighted to have been beaten out by Jonathan Taylor of Wisconsin for the Doak Walker Award. Only Barry Sanders has rushed for more yards in one season in an OSU uniform.

The big question for Cowboys' followers is whether he's leaving school after this game or sticking around for another season. Head coach Mike Gundy believes he's going to play for him next season.

He also thinks there's a possibility that quarterback Spencer Sanders might be able to play. Sanders had thumb surgery in mid-November, but he is about to be cleared and may be able to participate in some practices, at which time a decision will be made. Sanders completed about 63% of his throws with an 8.4-yard per attempt average and 16 TD's. He is also a rushing threat (625 yards). While he was out, Hawaii transfer Dru Brown filled in and completed 72% with five TD's. So they won't be hurting either way.

Stopping other teams presents a problem, as OSU is 86th overall in defense, allowing opponents to convert almost 39% on third down.

“I think they’re the best 7-5 team in the history of the NCAA, in my opinion,” is how Gundy described Texas A&amp;M, which has lost to five top ten teams, three of whom (LSU, Clemson, Georgia) were #1 in the nation when they played them. While they were competitive with Auburn (28-20), Clemson (24-10) and Georgia (19-13), they were blown out by LSU (50-7). So maybe there's some hyperbole there. Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher channeled Bill Parcells as he said. "you are what your record is."

A&amp;M (7-5 SU &amp; ATS) allows 129 rushing yards a game (four yards a carry), which places them 29th best in rushing defense - higher than any Big 12 unit - so maybe they have the capacity to prevent things from getting TOO far out of hand against Hubbard. And it should be noted that the better front sevens in the Big 12 - all of whom ranked outside the top 30 - kept him under relative control.

Aggie QB Kellen Mond didn't fold up against the better teams he played - except against LSU (10-30, 92 yards, 3 INT's). So at least that's one thing we can say about him. However, this was not a team that protected all that well (33 sacks allowed).

Sure, Hubbard may not run wild here. But he's not been held below 100 yards by any FBS team. And who knows - with that Doak Walker snub, he may have some extra incentive. OSU can hang in there, even if Brown has to play quarterback. Sanders could provide an additional run threat. And keep in mind that Gundy has beaten nationally-ranked teams (Colorado, Virginia Tech, Missouri) the last three seasons in bowl games - two of those as an underdog. So we're taking the points.

New Mexico Lobos vs Nevada Wolf Pack Betting Pick & Prediction 2/13/24

<p>The ALCS will move to the Bronx after the two opening games in Houston, and we will have another MLB treat on Saturday, October 22, so you can’t afford to overlook the best Astros vs. Yankees betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>The Yankee Stadium will welcome Game 3 of the ALCS between Houston and New York, and the Yankees are -145 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 7 runs. These conference rivals have faced seven times before this playoff series, and the Astros won five. Houston also won both the opening games of the current series.</p>



<p><strong>Astros justified the role of a favorite in both ALCS games at home</strong></p>



<p>The Houston Astros recorded a pair of home wins in the ALCS against the New York Yankees and now are looking to get at least one victory in the Big Apple before coming back to Minute Maid Park. Houston was expected to beat the Yanks in the first two duels, given New York had a lengthy ALDS against Cleveland, and they didn’t disappoint.</p>



<p>The Astros drew the first blood in Game 2 through Alex Bregman, who blasted a three-run homer in the 3rd inning to give his team a 3-0 lead, which proved to be vital. New York did respond with a couple of runs in the next inning, but the hosts still got away with a W. Framber Valdez was dominant across 7.0 scoreless innings during which he posted nine strikeouts and no walks. For the second game in a row, Ryan Pressly got a save, his third of the playoffs.</p>



<p>Cristian Javier (11-9, 0-0 in the playoffs) did feature in this playoffs, but will now experience the first postseason start of his career when he meets New York on Saturday. The 25-year-old righty had 25 starts this season and carries a 2.54 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 194/52 K/BB ratio over 148.2 innings.</p>



<p><strong>The ALDS hangover didn’t help the Yankees in Houston</strong></p>



<p>The New York Yankees, perhaps harder than expected, defeated the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS. They needed five games to do it, and the fact the Astros concluded their ALDS a couple of days earlier played a key role in New York’s two losses in the first two games of the ALCS.</p>



<p>The Yanks were 3-0 down early on, and even though they managed to cut the deficit to one in the 4th inning, it wasn’t enough to complete a comeback and make a break. Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres each contributed with an RBI; however, the Yankees couldn’t do much more against Houston’s excellent staff. Luis Severino took a loss after allowing three runs in 5.1 innings with six strikeouts and a walk.</p>



<p>Gerrit Cole (13-8, 2-0 in the playoffs) is named a starter for Game 3 of the ALCS against Houston on Saturday. The 32-year-old right-hander started 33 games this year and owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 257/50 K/BB ratio across 200.2 innings of work.</p>



<p><strong>Houston:</strong></p>



<p>•&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5-0 in the last five playoff games</p>



<p>•&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4-0 in the last four vs. American League East rivals</p>



<p>•&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5-0 in the last five games vs. a right-handed starter</p>



<p><strong>New York:</strong></p>



<p>•&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 0-4 in the last four vs. American League West opponents</p>



<p>•&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1-4 in the last five after scoring two runs or less in their previous game</p>



<p><strong>Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees Pick</strong></p>



<p>The Yankees will be looking to avoid a 3-0 deficit situation in this ALCS, especially considering they have three consecutive home games. That’s why is crucial for them to win Game 3, but I don’t think the Astros will just come to New York with a white flag. They are a better team, which they proved in the regular season, and even if they don’t record a win on Saturday, I am backing the visitors to stay close. Both starters, Cristian Javier and Gerrit Cole have strong numbers against their respective rivals, so it’s going to be a tight affair that could go either way.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Houston Astros at +1.5 (-161)</p>



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



<p>Given the Astros and Yankees failed to combine for more than six runs in the first two games of the series, I don’t think they will combine for over seven on Saturday. Cristian Javier was fantastic against New York in two starts (1-0) this season, registering a microscopic 0.75 ERA in 12.0 innings. On the other hand, Gerrit Cole, who played for Houston earlier in his career, had one start against the Astros this season and lost, but still posted a 1.29 ERA across 7.0 innings. I am going with another low-scoring affair here.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 7 runs (-110)</p>

<p>The only Wild Card series of this season’s playoffs in the MLB which will be decided in three games will be played in New York on Sunday, October 9, and here you can get the best Padres vs. Mets betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>San Diego and New York will play the third of a best-of-three NLWC series at Citi Field, and the Mets are -130 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 6.5 runs. These NL rivals have met eight times this season, including this playoff series, and the Padres lead 5-3.</p>



<p><strong>Padres experienced a meltdown in the seventh in a loss</strong></p>



<p>The San Diego Padres opened the NLWC series against the New York Mets with a 7-1 win on the road but couldn’t seal the deal in Game 2 on Saturday, so will be forced to play another game in order to reach the NLDS. San Diego was tied with New York until the 5th inning when the hosts took a 3-2 and later added four more runs, and all the Padres could do is to soften a defeat with a run in the 9th for a 7-3 loss.</p>



<p>Blake Snell lasted only 3.2 innings as he allowed two runs on four hits with five strikeouts and even six walks in a no-decision. Nick Martinez took a loss, while Adrian Morejon couldn’t even record a single out and surrendered four runs with two walks in the 7th inning. On offense, Trent Grisham hit a solo homer and became the third Padre in postseason history with home runs in back-to-back games.</p>



<p>Joe Musgrove is starting for the Padres in this decisive NLWC game against the Mets on Sunday. The 29-year-old right-hander started 30 games this year and has a rock-solid 2.93 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 184/42 K/BB ratio over 181.0 innings.</p>



<p><strong>Mets saved the season for now thanks to their stars</strong></p>



<p>The New York Mets managed to force Game 3 of the NLWC series at home against the San Diego Padres with a 7-3 victory. It started great for the hosts in Game 2 following a disappointing outing in the opener in which they allowed seven runs and scored just one.</p>



<p>Francisco Lindor blasted a solo home run in the first inning on Saturday; Pete Alonso also contributed with a solo homer, while Jeff McNeil was the only player in the game with a multi-RBI display as he registered two. Jacob deGrom took a win after pitching for 6.0 strong innings and surrendering two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts and two walks. Seth Lugo got the save.</p>



<p>Chris Bassitt was named a starter for Game 3 of this NLWC series against the Padres on Sunday. The 33-year-old right-hander had 30 starts this year and registered a respectable 3.42 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 167/49 K/BB ratio across 181.2 innings of work.</p>



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



<p><strong>San Diego:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-2 in the last eight road games</li><li>4-1 in the last five road games vs. a right-handed starter</li><li>6-2 in the last eight games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15</li></ul>



<p><strong>New York:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-5 in the last seven games following a win</li><li>1-4 in the last five playoff games</li><li>1-5 in the last six after scoring five runs or more in their previous game</li></ul>



<p><strong>San Diego Padres vs. New York Mets Pick</strong></p>



<p>Both Musgrove and Bassitt were far from impressive in H2H duels this season, but Bassitt was a bigger disappointment. He started two games against the Padres and lost both with a bloated 7.84 ERA in 10.1 innings. In fact, Bassitt had a higher ERA only against one team this year – the Cubs. Musgrove, on the other hand, lost his lone start against the Mets with a 6.75 ERA, but he pitched better than Bassitt overall during the season and I am giving him a slight advantage here. It’s going to be a very tight affair, possibly a one-run game, but I am going with the visitors.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Padres to win (+120)</p>



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



<p>Both Game 1 and Game 2 went Over and I think that trend is going to continue on Sunday in Game 3. Considering Musgrove and Bassitt’s numbers against these respective rivals, I expect to see at least seven runs here. There are several highly-talented batters on each side and these starters already struggled against them in the regular season, especially Bassitt. Over is 5-0 in the Padres’ last five overall; Over is 4-0 in San Diego’s previous four road games, while Over is 6-0 in the Mets’ last six games following a win.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 6.5 runs (-110)</p>

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.

UNCG Spartans vs Long Beach State Beach NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/25/24

In the American Athletic Championship Game, the No. 16 Memphis Tigers (-10) are heavy favorites against the No. 21 Cincinnati Bearcats. Kickoff for this important matchup is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET and fans can catch it live by tuning in to ABC.
<h2>No. 21 Cincinnati vs. No. 16 Memphis Betting Odds 12/7/2019</h2>
Memphis is favored by 10 points in this AAC matchup. The Bearcats are currently receiving +300 moneyline odds while the Tigers are -400. The over/under has been set at 57.5 points, and it looks like there should be some solid in-game betting possibilities in this showdown.

The game's opening line was originally set at -9 and the O/U was initially 58.5, so it seems that the sharp action has been siding with both the Tigers and the under.

The Bearcats are 10-2 straight up (SU), including 7-1 SU against AAC opponents. The Tigers are 11-1 SU overall and are also 7-1 SU in conference play. Each team has rewarded gamblers this year as the Bearcats have gained 6.5 units while the Tigers are up 7.2 units.

The Bearcats fell to Memphis 34-24 in a contest where their defense allowed the Tigers to eat up the clock by running for 199 yards on 38 rush attempts, along with one rushing TD. On the offensive side, Ben Bryant completed 20 passes for 229 yards, one score and two interceptions. Michael Warren II (122 rushing yards on 21 attempts, one TD) and the signal-caller Bryant (-1 yards on 11 carries, one TD) led the running attack. Alec Pierce (four receptions, 77 yards) and Josiah Deguara (four catches, 46 yards) handled the receiving duties in the defeat.

Memphis enters this one after just earning a 34-24 win over Cincinnati. Brady White completed 15-of-26 passes for 233 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Kenneth Gainwell (87 rushing yards on 15 attempts) and Patrick Taylor Jr. (25 yards on 10 carries) handled the running game as Damonte Coxie (six receptions, 145 yards, one TD) and Gainwell (three catches, 20 yards) led the pass-catching attack in the win.

Cincinnati has run the ball on 62.6 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Memphis has an overall rush percentage of 57.6 percent. The Bearcats have produced 196 rush yards per game (including 200 per game against American Athletic Conference opponents) and have 23 touchdowns on the ground this year. The Tigers are putting up 196 rush yards per contest (174 in conference) and have 27 total rushing TDs.

It seems like the Tigers ought to have the more disruptive lines up front. Their offensive line has given up only 19 sacks while the D-line has registered 31 sacks. The Bearcats offensive line has allowed 31 sacks and their defense has got to opposing signal-callerss just 27 times.

The Bearcats have averaged 184 yards through the air overall (164 per game against conference opposition) and have 18 passing TDs so far. The Tigers have produced 287 pass yards per outing (301.0 in the AAC) and have 32 total pass scores.

Defensively, Cincinnati has let opponents run for an average of 139 yards and pass for 232 yards per game. Memphis has allowed 167.5 yards per game on the ground and 198 to opposing teams in the air. Both teams allow similar adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) to the opposition, as the Bearcats have given up an ANY/A of 5.35 to opposing QBs, while the Tigers are allowing an ANY/A of 5.31.

White has been more productive than Bryant recently. His adjusted net yards per pass attempt sits at 10.37 for the year and 6.93 across his last two games while Bryant's ANY/A is 5.10 and 3.46 over the past two outings.

These two AAC adversaries did not get a chance to play each other last year.
