<h3><strong>WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS at OREGON STATE BEAVERS, 10:30 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> Pac-12 Football Odds: Oregon State -3, Total 63.5</strong></h4>
Here is what intrigues about this matchup:

Washington State has said so long to Mike Leach and the Air Raid offense and hello to Nick Rolovich and the Run 'n Shoot he's brought over form his previous job at Hawaii. It is a different concept, which would take some getting used to. But of course, the Cougars didn't have a full spring practice to get things together in that regard.

But Rolovich took a shortcut, or so he believes, regarding his team's learning curve. He has inserted freshman Jayden De Laura as his starting quarterback. This is a kid who has run the same Run n' Shoot that Rolovich used, when he starred at Saint Louis High School in Honolulu, winning two state championships. To give you an idea of what level of football they played at, the school has already graduated the likes of Tua Tagovailoa, Marcus Mariota and Timmy Chang, not to mention Jason Gesser, a star at Wazzu.

The move was probably necessary because Leach has a number of one-off quarterbacks at WSU, including Luke Falk, current Jacksonville Jaguar Gardner Minshew and Anthony Gordon, who did thrive in the Air Raid last season, throwing for 5579 yards and 48 touchdowns.

It would probably be too much to look for that kind of production from De Laura. And it does take a lot of guys to get on the same page.

They're probably buzzing a little around the Oregon State program, because even though last year's quarterback, Jake Luton, has departed, he will be making his first NFL start for the Jaguars on Sunday, replacing an injured Minshew. The new guy is Tristan Gebbia, who is a redshirt junior. Gebbia brings a certain sense of continuity to the table, because this is now his third season in the offensive system employed by head coach Jonathan Smith.

And while we know that Rolovich's offense is going to run the ball more than Leach did (jeez, only 22% of plays last year!), and is decently equipped to do so with Max Borghi, Oregon State may have the edge in that area with Jermar Jefferson, who was a sensation in the Pac-12 two years ago as a freshman (1380 yards) and then had a choppy 2019 because of injuries. Now he's healthier, asserting that he used his lockdown time well by working out like a beast.

What Wazzu will find challenging is a Beaver defense that may have the best linebacker corps in the Pac-12. One of those linebackers, Hamilcar Rashed, will almost certainly be playing on Sundays.

Last year's meeting was a wild one. Washington State got 606 yards passing from Gordon and even then could only win by a single point (54-53), as OSU bum-rushed them for 193 yards on the ground.

But what is more significant is that Oregon State - and Smith's staff - got a look at Rolovich's offense in the second game of last season against Hawaii. So there aren't going to be any big surprises.

Even with the touted frosh QB, things may take a while to gather momentum in Pullman, as they've got to replace three WR's who accounted for more than 2800 yards. A vote, at this early stage, for continuity and OREGON STATE.

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.

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.
