Boston Red Sox vs Kansas City Royals Betting Pick & Prediction 8/6/24

The weird and disjointed 2020 college football season has hit just about every time at some point or another, but the Tulsa Golden Hurricane have had to stay sharp through a lot of twists and turns. They’ll host the Tulane Green Wave on Thursday night, just five days removed from beating SMU 28-24 on Saturday.

Money came in early Monday morning on Tulsa to bump this line up to -6.5 at <a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> after opening in the -4 range. The total has also been bet up a little from 53.5 to 55, as Tulane is 6-3 to the over and has scored a lot of points in recent games.

This is only the sixth game of the season for Tulsa, who went from September 19 to October 3 without a game and then from October 3 to October 23. They’ve played pretty regularly now, but this short-rest spot would suggest a new challenge for a team that is 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS on the season.

Tulane, meanwhile, has somehow managed to stay mostly above the COVID fray. In fact, this will be the 10th game of the season for Willie Fritz’s bunch and they’ve been very kind to bettors with a 6-3 ATS record. They’ve covered five straight going into Thursday night’s contest.

Depending on whether or not Tulane gets invited to a bowl game, if there are enough of them to include mid-tier AAC teams, this could be their second-to-last game of the season. The only one left on the schedule is a date next Friday night with Memphis. Tulsa, on the other hand, has two games left, one against Houston next Saturday and then a big showdown with Cincinnati the first weekend of December.

How have these teams gotten to this point? What are the angles to consider in this game? Let’s find out:
<h3><strong><u>Tulane Green Wave</u></strong></h3>
Tulane has taken advantage of a lot of porous defensive play from its opponents this season. Even against the UCF Knights, Tulane scored 34 points. They’ve averaged 36.7 points per game this season and have gotten into the 30s in each of their last seven games. The rushing attack has been the catalyst with 5.3 yards per carry on 42 attempts per game.

Defensively, Tulane has only allowed 27.6 points per game, but they have also not faced many proficient offenses. They’ve faced two option teams that are having down years and gave up 49 to Houston, 37 to SMU, and 51 to UCF. Those are three of Tulane’s four losses. The other loss came against Navy in a game the Green Wave led comfortably at half.

Tulane has outscored the opposition 38-12 over the last three games, but there may be some fool’s gold in those numbers, as those games came against Temple, East Carolina, and Army. Those are three very inefficient offensive teams to say the least.
<h3><strong><u>Tulsa</u></strong><strong><u> Golden Hurricane</u></strong></h3>
Tulsa, who shocked the college football world on October 3 with an impressive win over UCF, has been something of a sharp darling. While the Golden Hurricane should have lost a poorly officiated game to East Carolina on October 30, they’ve had nice efforts against SMU and Oklahoma State thus far. Of course, we also have a pretty big dichotomy between opponents this season. Oklahoma State and UCF are very good. South Florida and East Carolina are not. SMU is not as good as expected.

So, going into this one, there are some questions about Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane have averaged 5.9 yards per play on the season while holding opponents to 4.9 yards per play. The defense isn’t really the question, as Tulsa has a tremendous defensive line, which should be an advantage in the trenches against a Tulane team that has to run the rock to be effective.

The questions for Tulsa are really on offense. They’ve only averaged 10 points in the first half of their games this season. They’ve eventually gotten it going in the second half after making some adjustments, but the offense is kind of pedestrian at best. Big plays in the passing game have helped, as the team has averaged 250 yards passing on just 19 completions per contest. The ground game has scuffled with 4.2 yards per carry, but Tulsa has only played five games, so there will be some sample size noise.
<h3><strong><u>Pick</u></strong></h3>
In this one, Tulsa is the pick at -6.5. The reason is because they will be the stoutest run defense to date for the Tulane offense. Tulsa has only allowed 3.6 yards per carry. They have been a little more susceptible through the air, but Tulane is not a big passing team, averaging 26 pass attempts per game.

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.

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.

Eastern Michigan Eagles vs Oakland Golden Grizzlies NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/21/24

<p>UFC 278 is coming up on Saturday and the main event will be a delicious rematch between two fighters that haven’t seen one another in years. The champ, Kamaru Usman, has risen to the top of the class while Leon Edwards has fought well but fallen just short of a belt. Is he ready to reach the peak now?</p>



<p>Let’s take a look at the three best bets for this weekend’s extravaganza.</p>



<p>All odds provided by <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, sign up now and get a 55% new user welcome bonus!</p>



<h2>Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards</h2>



<p>Odds at BAS: Usman -340</p>



<p>Kamaru Usman will be aiming to protect his belt once again – this time against Leon Edwards here. Usman is looking to get his sixth successful title defense along with his 16<sup>th</sup> straight victory in the UFC. Coming into this fight, Usman has never lost in the UFC. He’s even defeated Edwards early on in his time here.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-full"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bas/"><img src="https://www.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/BetAnySports-Promo.jpg" alt="BetAnySports Promo" class="wp-image-702588"/></a></figure>



<p>Edwards has had a lot of time to improve since that defeat back in 2015 and he’s also not lost a single fight since that showdown. He’s won eight straight – including some big ones against Rafael Dos Anjos and Vincente Luque. However, he a long inactive period – didn’t fight once in 2020 – and that slowed his ascent.</p>



<p>Many people have been waiting to see Usman and Edwards compete against one another again now that they’ve become two dominant forces. Could this possibly be the fight that Usman loses in the UFC, or will he just keep on trucking forward with his 16<sup>th</sup> consecutive win?</p>



<p>It feels like Usman’s ground game will be too strong for Edwards. The latter will try to keep this standing but he doesn’t have enough of an edge there to pull this upset off.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Usman</strong></p>



<h2>Paulo Costa vs. Luke Rockhold</h2>



<p>Odds at BAS: Costa -350</p>



<p>Paulo Costa will be taking on Luke Rockhold in the co-main event here. Costa won 13 straight victories to kick off his fighting career. However, he’s lost his past two fights coming into this contest. There is no question that Costa could be a deadly opponent when he’s focused and prepared; we just haven’t seen it in a quick minute. He was a heat-seeking missile to start his MMA career but a knockout at the hands of Israel Adesanya rocked him. It seemed to linger in a loss to Marvin Vettori in his latest outing. The question is can he shake it here?</p>



<p>As for his opponent, Rockhold, he knows what that feeling is like. He won the UFC Middleweight Championship belt and then was knocked out by Michael Bisping. He was 15-2 after the win; he’s dropped three of four since with all three being knockout losses.</p>



<p>He will be making it into the Octagon for the first time in over three years. He took time away to deal with some injuries and regain his commitment to fighting his way to the top of the ranks again. This could be one interesting way for Rockhold to come back out of the shadows if he can get a win.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Costa -350</strong></p>



<h2 id="h-jose-aldo-vs-merab-dvalishvili">Jose Aldo vs. Merab Dvalishvili</h2>



<p>Odds at BAS: Aldo -140</p>



<p>Jose Aldo didn’t have a great start in the bantamweight division when he first appeared. He lost both of his first two fights in the weight class, but since then has completely turned it around. He’s won three straight fights to establish himself as a contender – even at a time many thought the 35-year-old was finished.</p>



<p>However, Merab Dvalishvili currently stands in his way of inching closer to the top of the rankings. Dvalishvili has won seven straight fights and is coming off a knockout win over Marlon Moraes at UFC 266. It feels like he’s got a decent shot here, so consider him as a live dog.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Dvalishvili +120</strong></p>

Pepperdine and Bellarmine were both victorious on Monday night to set up this semifinal matchup in the nightcap of the CBI doubleheader down in Daytona Beach. The CBI will finish up on Wednesday night, as the winner of this game will take on the winner between Stetson and Coastal Carolina in the 5:30 p.m. ET game.

This one is at 8 p.m. ET and these are the only two college hoops games on the docket for tonight, so bettors will either have to resort to one of the pro leagues or try to figure things out in these two games. Pepperdine is -5 with a total of 150.5 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a>, but a lot of early money has come in on Bellarmine to drive this line down.
<h3><strong><u>Pepperdine Waves</u></strong></h3>
A strong second half from the Pepperdine Waves, who had easily the longest travel to Daytona Beach for the CBI, propelled them to what wound up being a pretty easy victory. The Longwood Lancers were a team with big home/road splits coming into Monday’s CBI quarterfinal matchup and maybe those were part of the equation in the second half while getting outscored 49-34.

Pepperdine is the best team in this field. Lorenzo Romar’s squad is the only one ranked in the top 100. The Waves were pegged to be the champions of this tournament, though the travel and a two-week layoff seemed to be issues in the first half. In the second half, the Waves took over and now they find themselves favored over Bellarmine, though the line has gone down.

Pepperdine’s 80-66 win came with 1.171 points per possession, a number that the Waves only eclipsed on five occasions this season and two of them were against lower-division teams. Credit to Pepperdine for accepting the CBI bid, as the 82-77 loss to BYU in the West Coast Conference Tournament had to be tough to swallow.

The Waves had 12 offensive rebounds to just five for Longwood in Monday’s game. There were a lot of easy looks at the rim for both teams in the game, but it ultimately came down to the fact that Pepperdine shot better in the midrange game. That was actually a strength for the team all season long at 40% on Long Twos per Bart Torvik. It isn’t the best offensive strategy, but it seemed to work out for them.

Pepperdine has held opponents to 28% shooting on three-pointers this season, but opponents have also shot better than 55% on two-pointers. The outlier offensive rebounding performance against Longwood could also be driving this line move.

<h3><strong><u>Bellarmine Knights</u></strong></h3>
Bellarmine was not eligible for the NCAA Tournament as a transitional member to Division I, but was eligible for the CBI. In that respect, when we talk about motivation for teams in these postseason tournaments, this is about the only one that Bellarmine could win, so they are highly motivated and engaged here. The Knights had a strong first season in D-1, losing twice to Lipscomb and once to Liberty in A-Sun play.

The 73-70 loss to Stetson in the first round of the A-Sun Tournament may have had something to do with no light at the end of the tunnel because winning it was simply a paper achievement more than anything else. There was no auto bid to the Big Dance at the end of that rainbow. Even though Bellarmine was 27-of-49 from the floor in that game against Stetson, the Knights came up on the losing end.

Bellarmine’s offensive efficiency and high TO% seem to be driving forces behind this line move. While the Knights played a putrid schedule, they are 11th in the nation in eFG% on offense, shooting 37% from three and 55.7% from two. They don’t take a lot of threes and play at a slow pace, but they’ve shot the ball well.

They’ve also defended poorly. Opponents made 38.7% of their three-point tries against them and 52.3% of their twos. The Knights are 333rd in the nation in eFG%, but 13th in TO% at 22.9%. We’ve seen a lot of line moves late in the season based on TO% on defense for a team and Bellarmine’s is certainly one of the better ones.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
The money coming in on Bellarmine is obviously extremely sharp in nature. Public bettors aren’t wagering on the CBI and don’t even know who Bellarmine is. Are we interested in doing the same and taking a worse number to fade a Pepperdine team that is the best in this field?

I’m more interested in the over. Bellarmine shoots threes well, but doesn’t shoot many of them. Pepperdine can defend the three, but not the two. Bellarmine can’t really defend anything. Bellarmine played at a faster tempo in the last game against Army and let them dictate the pace. Pepperdine should do the same here. We could also get a foul fest late and both teams are excellent at the line.
