Portland Pilots vs Princeton Tigers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

We’ve got a good one in the Land Down Under this weekend with a main event between Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya to unify the middleweight title at UFC 243 in Melbourne. In total, there are 11 fights on the card, as Holly Holm backed out of her fight the week prior due to a hamstring injury.

As always, we’ll take a look at all of the fights, but pay special attention to those on the main PPV card. Odds will come from 5Dimes for this weekend’s set of matches. This is technically a Sunday card in Australia to put it on Saturday night for the North American crowd.

Action starts on UFC Fight Pass between Bruno Silva and Khalid Taha. Taha is the -240 favorite for this scrap, one that is the UFC debut fight for Silva. Taha, who is 1-1-1 in his UFC career, knocked out Boston Salmon in just 25 seconds back at UFC 236. Silva, who is something of a decision machine, hasn’t fought in about a year. Taha’s price may be a little short here, especially because Silva doesn’t seem to have a lot of striking power to counterpunch.

The other UFC Fight Pass matchup is in the women’s flyweight division. Ji Yeon Kim is a -200 favorite over Nadia Kassem, with +170 on the takeback. Kassem, an Australian-born fighter, is only 23 and this will already be her third UFC fight. She last fought in February when she tapped out for the first time in her career against Montana De La Rosa. Kim hasn’t fought in 10 months since losing to Antonia Shevchenko, but she is 2-2 in her UFC career. The heavy betting action on Kim suggests that this opening line was wrong and does make it tough to back Kassem, even with some perceived value based on the line move.

Another Australian female fighter will be in the Octagon as six-footer Megan Anderson takes on Zarah Fairn Dos Santos to open up the ESPN2 portion of the show. This fight is tailored for Anderson to look good. Zarah is making her UFC debut with a 6-2 record and no fights since December 15, 2017. Anderson could use the bounceback after falling to Felicia Spencer last time out. She took Holly Holm the distance in her UFC debut when Holm was a different fighter than she is now and Anderson is a money line parlay piece for this card.

That is it for the women’s fights, as we’ll see Jamie Mullarkey at +130 against Brad Riddell at -150. Mullarkey did face Alex Volkanovski once upon a time and got knocked out in the first round in AFC. This is the UFC debut for both of these fighters, so we don’t have an extensive book on either guy. Mullarkey has only fought twice in the last 24 months and this will be Riddell’s fourth fight of 2019, so he should be in better rhythm.

Dana White Contender Series find Maki Pitolo will take to the Octagon for his first official UFC fight this weekend. He’ll do so as a -330 favorite against Callan Potter. Potter was a KO victim in the first minute of his UFC debut back in February. Pitolo was a titleholder in VFC and made a brief cameo in CFFC before getting in front of Dana White and impressing enough for a chance. He’s giving up a little size and experience here. This line may just be a tad too high. After all, Jalin Turner, the guy who knocked out Potter, is a decent prospect.

Jake Matthews has a great opportunity at UFC 243. He lost his last fight to Anthony Rocco Martin in Adelaide. He is a regular when UFC goes to Australia and he had a lot of success earlier in his career, but that last loss was a stinger. He’s -340 to get back on track in this one against Rostem Akman. Akman, who debuted in the UFC back in June and lost to Sergey Khandozhko, was impressive in very small promotions. This is a get right fight for Matthews and the line agrees.

<strong>Yorgan De Castro (+105) vs. Justin Tafa (-125)</strong>

Two heavyweight fights are on the main card at UFC 2434, including this one between Yorgan De Castro and Justin Tafa. De Castro was another Dana White find on the Contender Series, as he knocked out Alton Meeks in the first round. That is a perfect 5-0 record with five knockouts for De Castro. The 31-year-old Cape Verde native is about as much of an unknown as his opponent here. De Castro won via a vicious leg kick in his debut.

Tafa heads into this fight 3-0 with three knockout wins of his own. All three of his fights have been in XFC. Tafa has studied under longtime UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt, so we’ll see how he does here in this one. We’ve got the one fight of good film on De Castro, but the first round didn’t last long and he won in sort of a fluky way. When it comes to Tafa, we don’t know much, under than Hunt’s tutelage.

Usually, the underdog is a starting point in a heavyweight fight like this, but with short prices all around, you’re better off finding something else.

<strong>Pick: Justin Tafa</strong>

<strong>Luke Jumeau (+130) vs. Dhiego Lima (-150)</strong>

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Luke Jumeau. He hasn’t fought because of injury since UFC 221 way back in February 2018. That fight was in Australia. His UFC career started in his native New Zealand. He’s 13-4 for his career and 2-1 in UFC going into this fight. It’s fair to wonder what we’re going to get from him here. He was a pretty good prospect once upon a time, but he signed a contract with UFC well over two years ago and has only made three appearances. All three fights went to decision.

So it’s pretty easy to like Dhiego Lima here. Lima is the -150 favorite, even though he hasn’t been in UFC for long. He was on TUF 25 and lost to Jesse Taylor in the finale. After a loss to Yushin Okami to start his first UFC contract, he beat Chad Laprise and Court McGee. Lima’s last fight was back in April, so he shouldn’t have much cage rust to shake off. That is not true of Jumeau.

<strong>Pick: Dhiego Lima</strong>

<strong>Sergey Spivak (+320) vs. Tai Tuivasa (-390)</strong>

This fight is lined as it should be and it’s hard to see the favorite losing. Tai Tuivasa, a Sydney native, is a fan favorite. He’s set up with a fight to win. That’s not to say that he couldn’t win on his own merit, but after losses to Junior dos Santos and Blagoy Ivanov, this is a fight to get him back on track and to do so in a very important part of the world for him.

<strong>Pick: Tai Tuivasa</strong>

<strong>Al Iaquinta (+160) vs. Dan Hooker (-185)</strong>

Dan Hooker is off of a fairly stunning first-round knockout of James Vick back in July. He’s been bet into a pretty big favorite here against Al Iaquinta. Iaquinta is coming off of a disappointing loss to Donald Cerrone back in May. Iaquinta has had a solid UFC career to this point, but that loss to Cerrone, who is very much in the twilight of his career, is a lot to overlook going into this one.

Hooker is far from a perfect fighter, but he’s had some good recent success. He hasn’t fought anybody as good as Khabib Nurmagomedov, who Iaquinta went 25 minutes with last year, but he’s fought solid guys like Jim Miller and Edson Barboza, to go along with that win over Vick. I’ll have to acknowledge to the line move here, as this fight looks closer than a 160/-185 line, but the markets have spoken loudly. Still, I think Iaquinta is more of a live dog than this price would suggest.

<strong>Pick: Al Iaquinta</strong>

<strong>Robert Whittaker (-105) vs. Israel Adesanya (-115)</strong>

This fight goes one of two ways. There is an early knockout or we have a Fight of the Year candidate. Robert Whittaker is the champ. Israel Adesanya is the interim champ. The middleweight belt will be unified this weekend. Whittaker has not fought since he went 25 minutes in a rematch with Yoel Romero in June 2018.

Whittaker was supposed to fight Kelvin Gastelum last November, but the bout was canceled the day of the fight because Whittaker was rushed into emergency surgery. In Whittaker’s absence, Adesanya moved to 17-0 by defeating Gastelum for the strap.

Whittaker is on home turf here with his 21-4 record, but Adesanya is a white-hot prospect for UFC. He’s also shown the ability to win decisions. When he joined UFC, he was a knockout machine. He’s had to go 25 minutes twice in UFC, including his win over Gastelum.

This is a step up in class for Adesanya, but he does have a size advantage in this fight and his athleticism and gas tank are both off the charts. Whittaker does have more prowess on the ground, so there is that. We’ll have to see if Adesanya can keep this fight upright. If he can, he is one of the division’s best and most accurate strikers. This feels like something of a torch-passing fight.

<strong>Pick: Israel Adesanya</strong>

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.

<p>The Arizona Cardinals are the only undefeated team heading into Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season. They’ll try to stay on the winning path Sunday, October 17, when they face off against the 3-2 Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, so we bring you the best Cardinals vs. Browns betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, the Browns are 3-point favorites with a total of 49.5 points. They are winless in four straight meetings with the Cardinals, as these two non-conference foes take on each other for the first time since 2019.</p>



<h2><strong>The Cardinals shut down the Niners for their fifth straight W&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Arizona Cardinals (5-0; 4-1 ATS) extended their winning streak last Sunday, outlasting the San Francisco 49ers as 6-point home favorites, 17-10. The Cardinals allowed 152 rushing yards (5.4 per carry), but their defense was at the highest level when it mattered the most, allowing the Niners to convert only three of their 11 3<sup>rd</sup> downs.</p>



<p>Kyler Murray struggled with a shoulder injury and still threw for 239 yards and a touchdown, completing 22 of his 31 passing attempts. DeAndre Hopkins had some big catches and finished with six receptions for 87 yards and a TD, while James Conner added ten totes for 29 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>Arizona owns the fourth-highest scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 31.4 points per game. The Cardinals are yielding just 19.0 points in a return (6<sup>th</sup> in the league) on 139.0 rushing yards (28<sup>th</sup>) and 214.4 passing yards per game (8<sup>th</sup>).&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Browns suffered a tough loss in Week 5</strong></h2>



<p>The Cleveland Browns (3-2; 3-2 ATS) put an end to their three-game winning streak last Sunday. They suffered a tough 47-42 defeat as 2.5-point road dogs at the LA Chargers, blowing a 14-point third-quarter lead and surrendering a couple of touchdowns in the final four minutes and 45 seconds of the game.</p>



<p>The Browns couldn’t cope with the Chargers’ fluid offense, allowing Justin Herbert to throw for 398 yards and four touchdowns. Cleveland racked up 531 total yards and ran 35 times for 230 yards, but it just wasn’t enough. Nick Chubb led the way with 21 carries for 161 yards and a TD, while Baker Mayfield went 23-of-32 for 305 yards and a pair of scores.</p>



<p>Cleveland leads the NFL in rushing yards per game (187.6), as Chubb and Kareem Hunt continue to torture their opponents. The Browns are tallying 28.4 points per contest (tied-6<sup>th</sup> in the league) while surrendering 22.8 points in a return (11<sup>th</sup>) on 298.8 total yards (4<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2><strong>Betting Trends:</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Arizona:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games as underdogs of three or fewer points</li></ul>



<p><strong>Cleveland:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-2 ATS in the last seven games overall</li><li>6-0 ATS in the last six games against the NFC</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-arizona-cardinals-vs-cleveland-browns-pick"><strong>Arizona Cardinals vs. Cleveland Browns Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Cardinals’ run D is probably their weakest link, so I’m expecting the Browns to hand Arizona its first loss in 2021. Cleveland’s ground game is the best in the NFL thanks to a stout offensive line and a tremendous RB duo.</p>



<p>Back in Week 2, the Cardinals allowed 177 rushing yards to Minnesota, while the Jacksonville Jaguars racked up 159 rushing yards against Arizona in Week 4. Of course, the Browns’ defense will have to regroup after yielding 47 points at the Chargers. In its last two showings at home, Cleveland has allowed only 13 points in total.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Cleveland Browns at -150&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>Eight of Arizona’s last nine road games went in the under. The Cardinals haven’t allowed more than 20 points over their previous four outings away from home. On the other side, I’ve mentioned the Browns’ last two home contests, though the over is 3-2 in their five outings in 2021.</p>



<p>The totals look like a tricky wager, so I would stick with the Browns to win straight up. Cleveland should roll over the Cardinals’ run D, but the visitors certainly possess enough firepower to score a few touchdowns, especially through the air.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 49.5 points at -110</strong></p>

Niagara Purple Eagles vs Canisius Golden Griffins Betting Pick & Prediction 2/23/24

After a really tough week on spotlight games last week, Ohio State gave us a winner to open this week, so let’s hope the bumps in the road from the first week of February are in the rearview mirror. Let’s check in on a new spotlight game tonight, one that features St. John’s at Butler in Big East action.

I think this might be the first Big East game we’ve had this season or at least in quite some time. Games are limited for tonight, but a lot of major conferences are in play and there are some very intriguing matchups on the hardwood.

Butler has grown into a 2.5-point favorite at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a> with a total of 140 for this matchup in Indianapolis at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
<h3><strong><u>St. John</u></strong><strong><u>’s Red Storm</u></strong></h3>
St. John’s is rolling right along at this point in time because freshman Posh Alexander has found his game. The 6-footer from Brooklyn opted to stay close to home and his emergence as a legitimate scoring threat has elevated the Red Storm’s profile in a big way. The Johnnies have rattled off six wins in a row. Alexander had three games with at least 15 points over the first 14 games. He’s scored at least 15 in all six of the team’s games during this streak.

As Alexander has gotten hot, sophomore Julian Champagnie from Staten Island has kept up his torrid pace. Champagnie led the team with 24 in last Friday’s win over Providence and has scored 20 points or more in eight games now on the season. With the dynamic duo of Alexander and Champagnie firing on all cylinders, St. John’s has gone from 2-6 in league play to 7-6 in league play and from 7-7 overall to 13-7.

Bettors are fading the Johnnies based on early action, though. St. John’s is a pretty poor defensive team, ranking 280th in the nation in eFG% defense. Opponents are shooting 52.8% on two-point shots and 35.6% on three-point shots. St. John’s does play at a fast tempo in hopes of outscoring teams and they’ve been able to do that because of their TO% on defense.

The Red Storm rank 21st in the nation in TO% at 22.8%. That will be a key for tonight’s game against a Butler Bulldogs bunch that takes very good care of the basketball.

<h3><strong><u>Butler</u></strong><strong><u> Bulldogs</u></strong></h3>
Butler did not take good care of the basketball in the first meeting between these two teams. The Bulldogs had 16 turnovers to just nine for St. John’s in the 69-57 loss. Butler was also just 6-of-24 from beyond the arc. This could be a different Butler team this time around, as East Tennessee State transfer Bo Hodges is in the lineup. Hodges has scored 33 points over the last three games, his only three games of the season.

The hope for LaVall Jordan is that Hodges can provide some consistent scoring punch because Butler simply doesn’t have one. The shot charts on Bart Torvik’s website are littered with red boxes. Butler is only shooting 61.3% at the free throw line. They are only shooting 45.7% on two-point shots, including a poor 55.1% mark on Close Twos. They’ve even missed five dunks. Senior Bryce Nze has had a rough season from the floor. So has fellow senior Jair Bolden, who is shooting 38% from deep, but only 19-of-55 on two-points and just 68% at the stripe.

Jordan just hasn’t found the right mix as of yet. Butler rotates in a lot of guys and now he has to figure out where to work Hodges in. The 6-foot-5 Hodges has played 27, 39, and 31 minutes, so we’ll see if his increased playing time leads to any more efficiency from the Bulldogs.

Butler has also struggled to defend. They rank 288th in eFG% on defense, as opponents are shooting 37% on three-point shots. These are two porous defensive teams, so you would think points could be possible, but St. John’s pushes the tempo and Butler is one of the slowest teams in the country, getting up to 140 could be hard.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
I disagree with the line move here and will take St. John’s. Butler beat DePaul last time out, but had 36 free throw attempts to DePaul’s 16 and outscored the Blue Demons 24-9 at the charity stripe. That was effectively the difference in the 10-point win. Butler did not shoot well once again.

St. John’s is humming right along with their top two players in rhythm and they just look like a more cohesive unit. Butler is trying to work on new rotations with Hodges in the lineup and Jordan has been experimenting all season long.
<h4><strong>Pick: St. John’s +2.5</strong></h4>
