Sportsbooks are busy working on creative ways to entice action and generate interest. Right now, that seems to be an expansion of football betting odds. The NFL Draft is going to draw substantial betting handles, but a lot of futures are being posted. Power ratings are being completed earlier than ever and some people are already on to schedule analysis and a deeper dive into specific teams.

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a> did its part once again to release some odds and generate some interest with Monday’s college football conference champion odds. Props to them, as all 10 conferences were posted with both the Power Five and the Group of Five leagues.

Let’s take a look at the Power Five conferences with a little blurb on each one of them:

ACC

Clemson -600

Miami (FL) +750

North Carolina +1000

Virginia Tech +1200

Florida State +1600

Virginia +2000

Louisville +2800

Pitt +2800

Wake Forest +4000

NC State +5000

Duke +6600

Syracuse +6600

Boston College +8000

Georgia Tech +25000

A price of -600 implies an 85.71% probability that Clemson wins this division. While the Tigers may have a tougher time running the table with a trip to Notre Dame on the schedule, Trevor Lawrence and Clemson are heavy favorites to win the ACC and will probably end up in the College Football Playoff again.

Quite frankly, you’d be insane to look at anybody in the Atlantic Division outside of Clemson. Louisville should finish second again with another year under Scott Satterfield, but Louisville would have to win head-to-head at Clemson to have a chance and that won’t happen.

So, the only option is to look at the Coastal Division and hope that the Clemson money line is small enough to hedge in the ACC Championship Game. North Carolina would be my pick, as the Tar Heels have sophomore sensation Sam Howell ready to build off of a dynamic freshman season with 38 touchdowns against seven interceptions.

UNC avoids Florida State, Clemson, and Louisville from the Atlantic Division. The Tar Heels are on the road at both Virginia and Miami, but those are still very winnable games.

North Carolina +1000 would be the only consideration for me, but that price may not be enough to go head-to-head with Clemson in Charlotte.

Big Ten

Ohio State -225

Michigan +350

Wisconsin +900

Penn State +1000

Iowa +1600

Nebraska +1600

Minnesota +2500

Michigan State +3300

Indiana +4000

Illinois +5000

Maryland +5000

Northwestern +5000

Purdue +5000

Rutgers +25000

Ohio State continues to pace the Big Ten in terms of recruiting and a strong argument could be made that the team was even better under Ryan Day than it was under Urban Meyer. Justin Fields is back for another go and even though Ohio State lost a ton of players on defense to the NFL, the Buckeyes are able to reload with minimal interruption because of their talent pipeline.

It is an annual tradition for people to talk themselves into Michigan, so that will happen again this year. The Wolverines do get Wisconsin and Penn State at home, so they do have the chance to run the Big Ten table before the Ohio State game in November. Still, you could probably get something in the realm of +300 for Michigan against Ohio State in November, so why take the +350 now?

Penn State is a better value at +1000 with the Ohio State game at home. The Nittany Lions would have to go to Michigan, but they avoid both Wisconsin and Minnesota. If you want somebody outside of Ohio State from the East, Penn State is the only option.

In the West, things are relatively wide open. Minnesota is expected to take a step back, as evidenced by the futures odds. Wisconsin played well with Jack Coan, but loses Jonathan Taylor. If Purdue had a friendlier schedule, the Boilermakers added Bob Diaco as the defensive coordinator and should have an improved offense with Jack Plummer at the helm for another year, but they play at Michigan, at Minnesota, and would still have to play Wisconsin and Iowa at home.

Speaking of Iowa, they play at Ohio State and at Penn State, so that will make things very tough for them and limit the margin for error. Maybe, just maybe, the door is open for Scott Frost and Nebraska. Of course, they also play four road games in a five-game stretch at Rutgers, at Ohio State, Penn State, at Iowa, at Wisconsin from October 24 to November 21 and then play on a short week at home against Minnesota.

It might have to be Wisconsin by default because the other hopefuls play very tough schedules.

Big 12

Oklahoma -125

Texas +150

Oklahoma State +600

Iowa State +1200

Baylor +1600

West Virginia +1600

Kansas State +2500

TCU +2500

Texas Tech +4000

Kansas +10000

Ah, yes. The annual tradition of Texas being overrated. In essence, Texas is the only team being given a really good shot to compete with Oklahoma. Oklahoma State is a fairly distant third, with Iowa State and Baylor behind that.

The reality is that every team in the Big 12 except for Oklahoma and Baylor lost at least four conference games last season. Baylor could fall off in a big way with Matt Rhule now in the NFL and that seems to be the expectation. The fact that Matt Campbell stuck around in Ames was something of a surprise.

A -125 price on Oklahoma really isn’t that bad. The Sooners are clearly the class of the conference again and will have another offensive juggernaut. Maybe the defense will take a step forward. Oklahoma just seems the most consistent. Laying -125 on a bet like this isn’t easy, but it looks like the only option.

Pac-12

Oregon +250

USC +275

Washington +300

UCLA +400

Utah +450

Arizona State +1500

Cal +2000

Stanford +2000

Arizona +2500

Colorado +8000

Oregon State +8000

The Pac-12 is clearly wide open for the upcoming season. Of the conference odds at BetOnline, only the MAC appears to be more open than the Pac-12 with Ohio favored at +300.

The song remains the same about the Pac-12. There are a lot of good teams, but no team that could be considered great. Oregon loses Justin Herbert. Washington loses Chris Petersen and Jacob Eason, so they’ll have a new-look offense in some respects. UCLA is in Year 3 of Chip Kelly and maybe this is the time for the Bruins to take a step forward. Kyle Whittingham’s Utes are always solid, but how high is the ceiling after some big losses from last season’s roster.

Oregon avoids Utah and UCLA and gets USC and Washington at home. That, in and of itself, probably makes Oregon the north favorite. Stanford is at home as well, though the Cardinal aren’t what they used to be.

The best player in the conference now could be USC QB Kedon Slovis. Unfortunately, USC’s recruiting rankings have taken a hit and there aren’t many supporters of Clay Helton out there. USC is a deserving second favorite and could very well win the division and play in the Pac-12 Championship Game, but the South is a mess. Oregon, despite being the favorite, looks like the pick here.

SEC

Alabama -120

LSU +275

Georgia +300

Florida +600

Auburn +1400

Texas A&amp;M +1600

Tennessee +6600

Kentucky +10000

Mississippi State +10000

Missouri +10000

Ole Miss +10000

South Carolina +10000

Arkansas +25000

Vanderbilt +25000

What do the LSU Tigers have in store for an encore? That is a big question heading into the season. Joe Burrow is in the NFL and a bunch of Tigers opted to geaux to the NFL, including several juniors.

That would seem to open the door for Alabama, though saying the Crimson Tide need someone to open the door for them is fairly disingenuous. They’re the odds-on favorite here for a reason and that reason is because they’ve won five of the last seven SEC Championships.

Georgia is the only team from the East Division to win the SEC since 2008 and that happened back in 2017, when Auburn beat #1 Alabama in the Iron Bowl before losing to Auburn. Had Alabama beaten Auburn, the West would probably be on an uninterrupted 11-year run of terror.

Is this the year for Georgia or Florida to break through? LSU seems vulnerable with all the losses to the NFL and maybe Alabama won’t be on its usual level for one reason or another.

Florida at +600 is actually rather interesting. Kyle Trask played really well last season and the Florida defense was excellent. The Gators could very well find themselves in Atlanta against Mac Jones and the Crimson Tide. The thing about that potential matchup is that you’d probably be able to get Florida at a really nice plus price on the money line that takes away the uncertainty of things like playing Georgia in Jacksonville or having to play LSU and at Tennessee.

Outside of Georgia, any East representative in the SEC Title Game is a big dog, so why not just hold off and take somebody like Florida at that point? If Alabama gets there, and they probably should, they are much bigger than a -125 favorite, so there is technically some value in them here.

Calgary Flames vs New Jersey Devils Betting Pick & Prediction 2/8/24

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;



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.



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



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 3rd downs.



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.



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 (6th in the league) on 139.0 rushing yards (28th) and 214.4 passing yards per game (8th).&nbsp;



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



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.



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.



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-6th in the league) while surrendering 22.8 points in a return (11th) on 298.8 total yards (4th).



<h2>Betting Trends:</h2>



Arizona:



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



Cleveland:



<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">Arizona Cardinals vs. Cleveland Browns Pick</h2>



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.



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.



Pick: Take Cleveland Browns at -150&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



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.



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.



Pick: Go under 49.5 points at -110
