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.

Eastern Illinois Panthers vs Valparaiso Beacons NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

<p>The 2022 NBA Playoffs are heating up and Friday brings Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals between Memphis and Golden State, so here’s the best Grizzlies vs. Warriors betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Warriors are one win away from the conference finals and open as firm 8.5-point home favorites for Friday’s clash at Chase Center in San Francisco. The Grizzlies are listed as +325 moneyline underdogs, and the totals sit at 219.5 points.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Grizzlies destroyed the Dubs in Game 5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Despite missing their best player due to an injury, the Memphis Grizzlies trounced the Golden State Warriors 134-95 in Game 5 this past Wednesday. They were leading by as many as 55 points, dominating the hapless Dubs on both offense and defense.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Grizzlies shot 47.5% from the field and 43.9% from downtown (18-for-41). They handed out a thumping 37 assists while turning the ball over only ten times. Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Tyus Jones all finished with 21 points, and Steven Adams added seven points and 13 rebounds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ja Morant has missed the previous two games due to a knee injury, and the All-Star guard is doubtful to play Friday in San Francisco. Without Morant, the Grizzlies have gone 20-5 so far this season. Bane and Jones will continue to drive the Grizzlies’ offense in Ja’s absence, and Jones had nine assists in Game 5.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Dubs embarrassed themselves, hope to bounce back at home&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Golden State Warriors have won their two home encounters with the Grizzlies in this conference semifinal. After a 142-112 blowout victory in Game 3, the Dubs barely outlasted Morant-less Grizzlies 101-98 in Game 4.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Last Wednesday, the Warriors had their first opportunity to secure a place in the conference finals, but it didn’t go well. They trailed from start to finish and completely embarrassed themselves. Golden State committed 22 turnovers and was outplayed by Memphis in every single aspect of the game.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Klay Thompson accounted for 19 points; Jonathan Kuminga had 17 points and three boards, while Stephen Curry added 14 points and four assists. Otto Porter suffered a foot injury and is questionable for Friday’s clash, while both Gary Payton II (elbow) and Andre Iguodala (neck) are probably done for the series.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>Memphis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-1 ATS in the last six games overall&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>10-1 ATS in the last 11 games against the Pacific Division&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Golden State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-6 ATS in the last seven games against Memphis&nbsp;</li><li>2-9 ATS in the last 11 games against the Southwest Division&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>After getting pounded in Game 3 at Chase Center, the Grizzlies have improved a lot despite Ja Morant’s absence. I’m expecting the Warriors to finish the job on the home court, but covering an 8.5-point spread might be a tall task.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Grizzlies have shown many times they can cope with Morant’s injuries and play at a high level without their best player. They are on the brink of elimination once more, so I’m backing them to battle bravely and keep it close down the stretch.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Memphis Grizzlies +8.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The Warriors and Grizzlies are playing at a very fast pace, averaging 102.9 possessions per 48 minutes throughout this series. Although both teams have done a good job on the defensive end, the total has gone over three times. The Grizzlies fell apart in Game 3, and the Warriors had a meltdown in Game 5.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I lean toward the over because of the fast tempo. Also, both teams are taking a lot of shots from deep. The Warriors are averaging 36.8 attempts from downtown per game, while the Grizzlies are tallying 40.8.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 219.5 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h3><strong>ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS at FLORIDA GATORS, 7 PM ET</strong></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> Football Odds: Florida -17, Total 60</strong></h4>
If you wanted to use a pointspread as a barometer to determine whether a team has exceeded what was expected of it, then Sam Pittman has done a heck of a job in his first year as head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. His team is a perfect 6-0 against the number, and although we're not sure they're going to get to a bowl game, they have nonetheless proven many of the naysayers wrong.

In the current context, last week's win against Tennessee was a step forward. But after that game, Pittman felt some back aches and then two days later was tested positive for COVID-19. So he will have to sit out this game.

Well, if his team can somehow make do without him, they can make a little noise in the Swamp. The Hogs' defensive backfield has been opportunistic (12 INT's - best in the nation), and if they can flip the field once or twice, they can keep this thing reasonably close.

And then, of course, there is the back story. In this case it is Feleipe Franks, who was the starting quarterback at Florida, and in fact won the Offensive MVP award at the Peach Bowl two seasons ago. You know how coaches sometimes say that a player can't lose his job because of an injury? Well, not always. Franks suffered an injury last season and saw himself being replaced by Kyle Trask, who went on to throw 25 touchdown passes, establishing himself as one of the top QB's in the SEC.

In fact, it wasn't likely that, barring injury, Franks would have been #1 again for coach Dan Mullen, because right now Trask leads the nation with 22 touchdown throws.

Sensing the writing on the wall, and fearing that he might never get another opportunity, Franks elected to go into the transfer portal and wound up at Arkansas, where he has put together some nice numbers, including a ratio of 14 TD passes to just three interceptions. In the process he is catching the eye of NFL scouts, and there appears to be little doubt that he will get his opportunity to at least audition at the next level.

It's not like there is a lot of bitterness involved in this scenario. Franks left on good terms, and his ex-teammates love him. Gators quarterback coach Brian Johnson contends that he is "like family," as he told reporters. Mullen also has great affection for him, and maintains that Franks helped "build a foundation" for the program during tough times.

Franks, for his part, says "I love all those guys on the staff and the players." The problem for him wasn't with the program. It was impatient fans who made him the object of some scorn.

Remember that Florida, which has a realistic path to a 9-1 record and legitimate contention for the "Final Four," is coming off a supercharged effort last Saturday when the Gators beat traditional rival Georgia, so a letdown and flat performance would not surprise us too much. We can take the points with ARKANSAS.
