For Duke, Quentin Harris completed 14-of-23 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Harris (39 rushing yards on 14 attempts) and Mataeo Durant (71 yards on seven carries) handled the running game as Noah Gray (seven receptions, 76 yards, one TD) and Aaron Young (two catches, five yards) led the pass-catching corps in the loss.

Miami (FL) has run the ball on 47.9 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Duke has a rush percentage of 55.9 percent. The Hurricanes have rushed for 124 yards per game (including 115 per game versus Atlantic Coast opponents) and have 15 touchdowns on the ground this year. The Blue Devils are logging 152 rushing yards per game (148 in conference) and have 14 total rush TDs.

It appears that the Hurricanes could hold an advantage in all aspects of the ground game, since their backfield has logged 4.0 yards per carry while their defense is allowing 3.1 YPC to opponents. The Blue Devils have tallied 3.7 yards per carry and given up 4.5 YPC to opponents.

The Hurricanes offensive scheme has logged 266 yards/contest through the air overall (268 per game against conference opposition) and has 26 passing scores so far. The Blue Devils have produced 181 pass yards per outing (170.9 in the ACC) and have 17 total pass TDs.

Defensively, Miami (FL) has let opponents run for an average of 108 yards and throw for 201 yards per game. The Duke D has allowed 202.5 yards per game to opposing passers and 188.1 yards per game to opposing runners. The Hurricanes are giving up an adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) of only 5.08 to opponents, while the Blue Devils have allowed a 6 ANY/A.

Williams is up to 1,698 passing yards this season. He's connected on 134-of-208 attempts with 12 passing touchdowns and six interceptions. Williams has a 6.50 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number sits at 8.21 over the past two outings.

The Hurricanes will probably try to control tempo by getting the ball into the hands of their running backs. The duo of Cam'Ron Harris (423 rush yards, four rush TDs, 97 receiving yards, one receiving TD) and DeeJay Dallas (597 rush yards, seven rush TDs, one receiving TD) have been focal points in the offensive scheme for Miami (FL).

Quentin Harris has completed 180-of-297 passes for 1,765 yards, 15 TDs and nine INTs for Duke. His ANY/A stands at an ultra-pedestrian 4.95 for the year and 2.46 over his last two outings.

The Blue Devils should also look to control the clock by turning to their backfield. Along with Noah Gray (342 receiving yards, three receiving TDs), Mataeo Durant (348 rush yards, one rush TD, one receiving TD) and Deon Jackson (565 rush yards, five rush TDs, 175 receiving yards, two TDs) have gotten plenty of action recently.

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>College Basketball Betting -- Notre Dame Looks to Win Shooting Contest with Miami</strong></span></h3>
The Miami Hurricanes experienced a bit of a hiccup over this past week as they had to postpone a game against North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but after sitting out a full seven days they are back to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

This game takes place at 6 PM Eastern time at the Joyce Center in South Bend, and if you're a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you can get a great deal on the odds with reduced juice.

<strong>MIAMI HURRICANES at NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH, 6 PM ET (ACC Network)</strong>

<strong>College Basketball Betting Odds: Notre Dame -7.5, Total 140.5</strong>

Miami last saw the floor eight days ago, losing in overtime to Virginia Tech. Considering how many players they actually have available, that was a pretty good result, as was their previous outing, a victory over Duke. And obviously they're not stepping up in class here.

Isaiah Wong has been critical to this team's survival, and he has averaged 18.9 points over his last seven games. With the likes of Matt cCross and Earl Timberlake out of action, it's been a good opportunity for Elijah Olaniyi to get additional playing time.

Olaniyi is a transfer from Stony Brook who was first team all- conference in the American East a year ago. When he transferred to Miami, he was not expecting to play without having to sit out a year. But the NCAA adjusted its rules because of the pandemic, and he was given immediate eligibility. So here he is, and he seems like a natural scorer. Against Duke he had 21 points, then turned around and had 19 against Virginia Tech.

It's kind of touch-and-go as to whether the Hurricanes will have Chris Lykes available. The diminutive guard, who provides a lot of spark at the point guard position, injured his ankle early in the season and has only played a couple of games. It was hoped that he could come back last week, and he was practicing with the team, but after the North Carolina postponement, he re-injured his ankle in practice, so his status is certainly in doubt.

When you look at the Notre Dame team, they may not have scored a lot of quality wins, but they played some good programs. They've been swept by both Virginia and Virginia Tech, also losing to North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Duke, and in the non-conference schedule, Big Ten squads Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue. But they got a little payback against Duke in the rematch last time out, as a career-high 28 points from Cormac Ryan paced them to a 93 - 89 victory.

Against the Blue Devils they shot 55% from the field, and that's been a strength, as they are indeed in the top 20 in effective field-goal percentage. Mike Brey's teams rarely turn the ball over, and this season's squad is no exception, as they rank 14th in the category of turnover percentage, according to the metrics compiled by Kenpom.com.

Notre Dame often has a sweet shooting team, and they are hitting 39% from the field. And 6 - 10 forward Nate Laszewski has been excellent at stepping out to hit the triple, with 53.3% accuracy. He's going to be a problem for Miami to deal with.

What Notre Dame doesn't necessarily do is defend all that well. They don't exert pressure, so opponents don't commit many turnovers. And they aren't exactly Hell on Wheels on the defensive glass. No, their path to victory is to hit a lot of open jump shots from beyond the arc. Miami's opponents have taken 41% of their shots from downtown, so obviously they permit that. And that is not necessarily the kind of thing you want to do against Notre Dame, which shoots treys and shoots them often, and shoots them well, at 39%.

I'm not sure that kind of combination it's going to work for Miami, so we are going to go ahead and lay the points.

As we head toward March Madness, make sure you have <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>bookmarked, as they present about as many college basketball betting options as anyone in the industry. And there is always a good deal with reduced juice, if you want to avoid having to lay the customary -110 on your hoops action........ If you want the convenience of making your deposits in Bitcoin, you can do that too, and you'll never have to incur a transaction fee. Wow!

Navy Midshipmen vs Army Black Knights NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/26/25

<p>Who would you say belongs on a list of “Must See Pitchers”? Randy Johnson? Sandy Koufax? Greg Maddux? Pedro Martinez? Nolan Ryan? Tom Seaver? Who would make the cut for you?</p>



<p>If your list doesn’t include Jacob deGrom, then your list is wrong. deGrom is having maybe the most dominant stretch in MLB history and he’ll look to put another notch in the proverbial belt with this Thursday July 1 start against the Atlanta Braves.</p>



<p>The Mets are a -165 favorite at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a> with a total of 6.5 for a nine-inning game. Ian Anderson will get the nod for the Braves and have a very small margin for error against the planet’s best pitcher.</p>



<h2 id="h-new-york-mets"><strong><u>New York Mets</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Mets are starting to get some position players back and have to hope that they’ve weathered all of the adversity that they need to deal with this season. For several weeks, the Mets were missing Michael Conforto, Brandon Nimmo, JD Davis, Jeff McNeil, and Kevin Pillar, among others.</p>



<p>Davis and Nimmo remain out, but the lineup looks a lot better with four of those players back and also with the resurgent Francisco Lindor, who has officially shaken off his slow start to the season and has been the player that the Mets expected to get when they signed him to a contract worth over $300 million.</p>



<p>Overall, New York’s offense is still close to the bottom of the league, ranking well into the bottom third, but slightly above the bottom five. It will take some time to get those numbers up to a respectable place, but from a talent standpoint, the Mets certainly have a lot of it and should be able to put a dent in those early-season numbers as we go forward, so long as they stay healthy.</p>



<p>The nice thing is that even if it takes some time to generate more offense, the Mets don’t need a lot of run support for Jacob deGrom. Not like he gets any anyway, but deGrom has a 0.69 ERA and a 0.98 FIP, so he is plenty capable of holding his own. He’s also done well at the plate, but his pitching numbers are historic to say the least.</p>



<p>deGrom has 122 strikeouts in 78 innings of work to go up against just 11 walks. Somehow three guys have hit homers off of deGrom this season. They must have had a Will Ferrell in “Old School” sort of experience by blacking out when making contact, much like Frank The Tank did in the debate. deGrom is elite and we are witnessing history every time he pitches.</p>



<h2 id="h-atlanta-braves"><strong><u>Atlanta Braves</u></strong></h2>



<p>This will be a good test for deGrom. The Braves offense entered play on Wednesday barely inside the top 10 in the wOBA department. The problem for Atlanta has been a lack of consistency. The Braves have bunched all of their runs together some nights and have gone dormant other nights.</p>



<p>Case in point, the Braves scored 20 runs on Wednesday night against the Mets. That’s what they do. They’ll hang a huge number and then fail to surpass that number over the next 4-5 games combined. It is really hard to know what you are going to get on a daily basis, though the presence of deGrom makes it a lot easier to figure out for that night.</p>



<p>That means that the onus is on Ian Anderson to pitch well enough to give his team a chance. The total of 6 suggests that he has a shot. Anderson has a 3.42 ERA with a 3.21 FIP in his 81.2 innings of work. It sure seems like a lot of the narrative about the Braves has been more about what they don’t have instead of what they do.</p>



<p>Yes, Mike Soroka had a setback and is out for the season. Yes, Max Fried has spent some time on the IL and struggled to get into the rhythm of the season. Yes, depth guys like Kyle Wright and Bryse Wilson have continued to have their issues. But, what about focusing on the good? Like Anderson, who has excellent numbers this season with a 26.1% K% and a GB% over 50%.</p>



<p>The Braves bullpen has been a major hindrance, too. A lot of guys have experienced spin rate decreases with the crackdown on substances and that unit just has not been effective in general. That will have to change if the Braves want to make some noise in this division.</p>



<h2 id="h-mets-vs-braves-free-pick"><strong><u>Mets vs. Braves Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>So, what do we do here? Do we lay the lumber with deGrom? Bet under 6.5? Over 6.5? Try the Braves as an underdog? The only play I see here is the last one. To try the Braves in a big underdog role. deGrom can’t be this sharp every night, can he? Anderson is plenty good enough to keep Atlanta in the game and the bullpens aren’t that far apart, at least from a talent standpoint. Sometimes the tough bets to make are the right ones.</p>

Morehead State Eagles vs Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/4/25

Southwest Division foes will collide when the Dallas Mavericks (38-25) meet the Memphis Grizzlies (31-31) at the American Airlines Center. Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday, March 6, 2020, and it can be seen on Fox Sports - Southeast.
<h2>Memphis Grizzlies at Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview</h2>
The Grizzlies easily got past the Brooklyn Nets in their last outing, 118-79, despite being 4-point underdogs. With 18 points, six assists and five rebounds, Memphis' Tyus Jones played well. Memphis played a nearly perfect game. They had a ridiculous offensive rebounding percentage of 38.3 (above their season average of 22.9) and an effective field goal percentage of 0.530 (above their season average of 0.529). For those same stats, Brooklyn recorded marks of 24.1 and 0.372, respectively. The two teams combined to put up 197 points, which finished well under the O/U total of 216.5.

In the Mavericks' last matchup, they topped the New Orleans Pelicans, 127-123, but they were not able to cover as 6-point favorites. Dallas' Luka Doncic played a massive role in the victory, accumulating 30 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists on his way to his 13th triple-double this season. The Mavericks knocked down 17 of their 24 free throws (70.8 percent) and had an effective field goal percentage of 0.579 (above their season average of 0.548). Combined, the two teams scored 250 points, which came in over the projected point total of 240.

These two teams have already met twice this year, each winning once. Kristaps Porzingis scored a game-high 32 points in the most recent contest, in which the Mavericks lost 121-107, unable to cover as 3.5-point favorites. The two teams combined to score 228 points, which was just 1.5 points above the projected point total of 226.5 points. Memphis was lights out from beyond the arc (12-25; 48.0 percent). Dallas, meanwhile, did an excellent job of converting from the free throw line (22-24; 91.7 percent).

Of Memphis' 62 games, 33 have finished under the O/U total, while 39 of Dallas' 63 games have finished over the O/U total. The Mavericks have the substantial advantage straight up (SU) (38-25 vs. 31-31) and a narrow edge against the spread (ATS) (36-27 vs. 33-28-1).

The productive offense of Dallas (first in the league with an offensive efficiency of 114.6) will go head-to-head against the mid-tier defense of Memphis (15th in the NBA with a defensive efficiency of 108.1). The Mavericks should have the edge on that end of the court.

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.

Marshall Thundering Herd vs Louisiana Ragin Cajuns Betting Pick & Prediction 12/7/24

NBA fans got a good scare last week when it looked like the playoffs might be dead in the water. But after a few days off, the games began Saturday anew. Milwaukee finished off Orlando to take its spot in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, which started on Sunday with the Boston Celtics winning one over the Toronto Raptors.

With the final four in the East in place, it sounds like a good time to address who will win the Eastern Conference this season odds (via <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada.lv</a>):
<h2><strong>2020 Eastern Conference Winner Odds</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
 	<li>Milwaukee Bucks -115</li>
 	<li>Toronto Raptors +350</li>
 	<li>Boston Celtics +255</li>
 	<li>Miami Heat +800</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
It should come as no surprise that the Bucks are the favorite. They were the most dominant team during the regular season on both ends of the court. They were far from dominant during the seeding games, but they didn’t need to be.

While the Magic gave them a scare with a win in Game One, they went on to win the next four by double digits.

Their opponents in the semis, the Miami Heat, had a relatively easy time in their opening round taking down the Indiana Pacers in four. While they did take down the Bucks the one time, they played during the regular season, 105-89.

But is it realistic to think the Heat can control Giannis Antetokounmpo for four games as they did in that one? Probably not.

The Toronto-Boston series looks like it will be the more competitive of the two. While the odds favor the Raptors, the Celtics dominated Game One on Sunday. Is that a sign of things to come, or can we just chalk that one up to the Raptors stars having incredibly bad days from the floor?

Game Two will give us some indication of how that will go. But as good as the Celtics are, the Raptors were not expected to sweep the Celtics anyway. <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/">Sportsbooks</a> now have the Celtics favored to win the Series, but that could easily change with a dominant win by Toronto in Game Two.

So, who Milwaukee will likely face in the Eastern Conference Finals remains to be seen, but if the odds are any indication—does it matter? Many fans would say no, but it is worth mentioning that the sentiment was the same before last season’s conference finals.

Both Toronto and Boston are capable of playing the kind of defense that can give the Bucks fits. But can they generate the necessary offense to beat Milwaukee? In a game or two? Yes, but in a seven-game series? That’s a little harder to say.

So—who should you bet on?

The Milwaukee Bucks are the safe and obvious bet, by far. If Giannis Antetokounmpo is healthy, it will be incredibly hard to beat in a seven-game series. Could the Celtics or Raptors do it? Absolutely—but if you are going to put money on someone, the Bucks are the obvious choice.

The odds of Boston winning are not worth the risk. As strong as the Raptors have looked since the season restarted, it may be worth putting a little money on them at those odds. But it certainly not worth risking much.

North Carolina A&T Aggies vs Drexel Dragons Betting Pick & Prediction 1/27/24

For years, we have known the Wisconsin Badgers to have a very deliberate, patient, efficient style of play on the offensive end. Under coach Greg Gard, that is still the case, and that's why, having gone through the gauntlet leading up to the Big Ten season, they have held their own and then some. Now with a 9 - 2 record, they will play host to the Indiana Hoosiers in a Big Ten battle that begins at 7 p.m. eastern time on Thursday at the Kohl Center in Madison.

Fox Sports 1 will carry the game live, and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers can watch it and place Wagers in real time as they access what is available through Sports Betting Prime.

Wisconsin's two losses have come at the hands of Marquette and Maryland, and there's really nothing to be ashamed of there. Perhaps they were most impressive on December 19th, when they destroyed the Louisville Cardinals 85 - 48 behind sizzling three-point shooting. The Badgers made 16 of their 25 attempts from downtown, and it's pretty hard to beat a team when they're doing that.

Of course, Wisconsin is not going to shoot that percentage in every game, but the proposition that they are accurate from long range is no surprise at all. In fact, as a team they are hitting 41.4% of their three-point shots, which is eighth best in the nation. That is what really gives them a huge potential offensive edge against the Hoosiers, who are not a real strong outside shooting team, as we will expand upon in a moment.

You can count on this game not being a "horse race." In the metric of "Adjusted Tempo" (which comes from the folks at KenPom), Indiana, coached by Archie Miller, is ranked 296th, while Wisconsin is 333rd out of 357 Division I teams. So this will unquestionably become a matter of who can play best in the half-court.

In the Big Ten basketball odds that have been posted on this game by the people at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, Wisconsin is the solid favorite at-home:

<strong>Wisconsin Badgers - 8</strong>
<strong>Indiana Hoosiers + 8</strong>

<strong>Over 131 points - 110</strong>
<strong>Under 131 points - 110</strong>

Leadership on the floor is something that the Badgers are able to count on. And for that you have to point to six-foot guard D'Mitrik Trice, who is not only sure-handed but an extremely capable outside shooter as well (44%). We mentioned what Wisconsin can do from the three-point line; these guys are also stingy with the basketball, and in fact only two teams in the entire country turn the ball over less frequently than they do.

Wisconsin is also very strong at defending inside the arc, yielding only 40.6% shooting, and that has got to be a big concern for Indiana here. In the Hoosiers’ 63 - 55 win over Maryland, where they hit just four triples overall and none in the first half, Armaan Franklin, who is far and away their top long range shooting threat, had to leave the game with an ankle injury and did not return. So his status for this contest, not to mention how effective he can be if he does indeed play, has to come into question.

That would certainly put more of a burden upon 6 - 9, 245 - pound Trayce Jackson-Davis, who understandably hasn't taken a three-pointer on the season, but will be a challenge for Wisconsin on the inside. These Badgers, however, are not necessarily going to be intimidated by size, and in fact, they've got two big men in Micah Potter and Nate Reuvers who can actually take it to the outside and hit buckets. That spreads Indiana out, which probably exploits another shortcoming for them, which is a relative inability to get really physical with the opposition, outside of Jackson -Davis.

At any given time, Wisconsin can put three or four players who are accurate with the triple, and that, we think, is going to be the key difference. So we will lay the points with the Badgers in Madison.

North Carolina State Wolfpack vs North Carolina Tar Heels Betting Pick & Prediction 3/16/24

<p>The start of any NBA season is always exciting, and that is especially going to be the case during the 2023-24 season. This will be a year filled with some great matchups, and it’s also a season that is going to see a terrific rookie class.</p>



<p>An injury to Chet Holmgren a season ago has added another talent into the great rookie class, and it’s going to create even more drama in the Rookie of the Year race. This is always one of the best future bets to make on this league, but only when you do it correctly.</p>



<p>There is one big betting favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, but that doesn’t mean that is where you should go. Here is a look at the odds for this market and the best wager to make.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wembanyama-a-major-favorite">Wembanyama a Major Favorite</h2>



<p>Victor Wembanyama was the number one overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and he is a player that should have success in this league right away. A handful of teams were tanking for the rights to select Wembanyama, and it was the San Antonio Spurs that were given that opportunity.</p>



<p>The Spurs are going to let Wembanyama lead the team right away, and he should be putting up some ridiculous stats throughout the year. The young phenom dominated throughout the preseason, and it’s clear why he is the betting favorite at -145.</p>



<p>Just because Wembanyama is the betting favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, that doesn’t mean that he will run away with it. He doesn’t exactly have a body that is ready for the physical style of play in the NBA, and he is going to have to stay healthy to make it through an entire season.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet on Victor Wembanyama at BetOnline and claim a Welcome Bonus of 50% Up to $1000!</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-other-contenders">The Other Contenders</h2>



<p>Most years, you are going to see a long list of players who have a chance to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, but that’s just not the case this year. While you can virtually vote on any of the rookies set to take the court this year, there are only two other top contenders outside of Wembanyama.</p>



<p>Chet Holmgren is the next player on the list at +250 at <a href="/s/BetOnline">BetO</a><a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">n</a><a href="/s/BetOnline">line</a>, and he is finally making his long-awaited NBA debut. Holmgren has some talent around him with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he should be one of the best players in the league.</p>



<p>There was actually a question of whether or not Scoot Henderson would be selected over Victor Wembanyama, as he is that talented. That obviously didn’t happen, but Henderson has odds set at +350 to win this award this season.</p>



<p>The odds after those two players go all the way down to +2500 after the top three players, and that creates some real intrigue in this market. There is a ton of value in betting on someone from outside of the best players, but you are taking a big risk as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-factor-in-injuries">Factor in Injuries</h2>



<p>There are a ton of things to consider when betting on the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, and injuries are one of those factors. Wembanyama just looks like a player who is going to deal with injuries throughout his career, and he is going to miss some time this year.</p>



<p>Holmgren has already dealt with injuries in this career, and those concerns aren’t going away. For that reason, you are going to want to stay away from those two players when betting on this award.</p>



<p>For this reason, going with Scoot Henderson to win the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year Award is the right play, as he has odds set at +350.</p>



<p><a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet on Scoot Henderson to win the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year Award at BetOnline!</a></p>

After stumbling from the starting gate this baseball season, Wednesday became a research day and a day to sit out the games, which is when you sometimes come up with some good discoveries. Sometimes you'll be required to a fair amount of digging, while other times, something will smack you in the head due to its simplicity, which is the case with baseball totals and favorites.

Between 2015 and 2017 the average total was 8.9 runs, which if we break down to 9 innings is .988 runs per inning or .491 runs every half inning or nearly .5 runs every half inning. Using that as a barometer, if you're betting the over, it makes sense to look for games where you will have the best opportunity to receive your full compliments of at bats, meaning the away team is favored and the home team will bat in the bottom of the ninth. That's worth approximately half a run.

Likewise, if you're looking to bet the under, it makes more sense to look for those games where the home team won't bat in the bottom of the ninth, or those games where they're favored.

Looking at those games between 2015 and 2017 where the home team was favored, totals were 2233-2344-214, which is 48.8% over with an average of 8.82 runs. Games where the home team was favored by at least -150 were 1001-1010-99, which is 49.8% over. Games with a higher total were more prone to land over the number, as games with a total of 9.5 or higher were 405-409-15.

Looking at games where the road team was favored, we'd see these games were 1158-1065-121, which is 52.1% over and an average of 9.07 runs, which isn't quite a half run, but it is noticably higher. Games whre the road team was -150 or higher were 318-260-27 (55%) and games with a total of 9.5 over higher were 237-186-12, which is 56%.

Essentially, games where the road team was favored were 3.3% more likely to go over the total, which may not sound like much, but a $100 flat-bet wager on overs with a home favorite would have yielded a loss of $32,535, while a flat-bet on the over when the road team was favored would have yielded a loss of less than $200. 

While you're not going to make a profit betting either way in regards to home or away favorites, you can boost your winning percentage a bit by taking overs when the away team is favored and unders when the home team is expected to win. It's a slight advantage, but bettors need every one they can get as today's oddsmakers are sharper than ever.

<h2>Louisiana-Monroe vs. Louisiana Betting Odds 11/30/2019</h2>
Louisiana is heavily favored in this one and is currently giving up 22 points to Louisiana-Monroe. The over/under is set at 67 points. Multiple good live betting possibilities may be unveiled during the contest.

The opening line was -21 while the total hasn't changed since it opened at 67.

The Warhawks are 5-6 straight up (SU), including 4-3 SU against SBC opponents. The Ragin' Cajuns are 9-2 SU overall and 6-1 SU in conference play. The Warhawks are down 1.0 unit so far in 2019 and 3-8 against the spread (ATS). The team has recorded an Over-Under mark of 6-4-1.

The surprising Ragin' Cajuns are up 4.0 units this season. The team is 9-2 ATS and has an O/U record of 5-6.

The Warhawks are coming off a 45-42 win over Coastal Carolina last week where Caleb Evans completed 19-of-33 passes for 346 yards, two scores and one interception. Josh Johnson (129 yards on 19 rush attempts, two TDs) and the signal-caller Evans (69 yards on nine carries, one TD) led the running attack. Zach Jackson (four receptions, 72 yards, one TD) and Jonathan Hodoh (four catches, 47 yards) handled the receiving duties in the win.

Louisiana is coming off of a 53-3 win over Troy. The defense let the Trojans run for 156 yards on 35 rush attempts. DK Billingsley was a bright spot in the loss for Troy, recording 68 rushing yards on 10 attempts, along with 37 yards on two catches. As a group, the Ragin' Cajuns collectively completed 28-of-40 passes for 344 yards and one touchdown. Levi Lewis went 21-for-33 for 273 yards and one touchdown while Jaiave Magalei was six-of-six for 71 yards. Trey Ragas (79 rushing yards on 11 attempts, two TDs) and Raymond Calais (61 yards on seven carries, one TD) handled the running game as Ja'Marcus Bradley (five receptions, 96 yards, one TD) and Jarrod Jackson (four catches, 51 yards) led the pass-catching attack in the win.

Louisiana-Monroe has run the ball on 52.9 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Louisiana has a rush percentage of 59.2 percent. The Warhawks have run for 205 yards/game (including 184 per game versus Sun Belt opponents) and have 27 touchdowns on the ground this year. The Ragin' Cajuns are totaling 276 rush yards per contest (249 in conference) and have 39 total rushing TDs.

It seems like the Ragin' Cajuns might have the advantage in all aspects of the ground game, as their running backs has generated 6.6 yards per carry while the defense has allowed a YPC of 4.4 to opponents. The Warhawks have rushed for 5.4 yards per carry while allowing 5.7 yards per rush attempt to opponents.

The Warhawks have logged 246 yards per contest through the air overall (250 per game against conference opposition) and have 19 passing scores so far. The Ragin' Cajuns have produced 222 pass yards per game (211.3 in the SBC) and have 18 total pass TDs.

Louisiana-Monroe has allowed opponents to run for an average of 252 yards and throw for 227 yards per game. Louisiana has been significantly better than that, allowing 166.2 rushing yards per game and 185.5 to opponents in the air. The Ragin' Cajuns are giving up an adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) of just 4.62 to opponents, while the Warhawks have allowed a 7.27 ANY/A.

Evans is up to 2,324 passing yards this season. He's completed 195-of-316 attempts with 17 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions. Evans has a 6.90 adjusted net yards per pass attempt, including 7.74 over the last two games.

Josh Johnson (1,146 rushing yards, 11 rush TDs this season), Markis McCray (512 receiving yards, five receiving TDs) and Jonathan Hodoh (316 receiving yards, two TDs) have all played significant roles lately.

Levi Lewis has recorded 2,044 yards, 15 TDs and three INTs for Louisiana. His ANY/A stands at 8.06 for the year and 7.05 over his past two outings.

We're expecting the Ragin' Cajuns to dictate the game's clock by putting the ball into the hands of their running backs. Backfield mates Elijah Mitchell (788 rush yards, 13 rush TDs), Raymond Calais (634 rush yards, five rush TDs, one receiving TD), and Trey Ragas (696 rush yards, 10 rush TDs, one TD) have really been key factors in the Louisiana offense.

These two teams met last year with the final outcome being a 31-28 victory for Louisiana.
