<p>The Detroit Lions head to Lambeau Field on September 20 to face off against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football and close down Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season. The Lions open at +430 moneyline odds, while the Packers are huge 11-point favorites with a total of 48.5 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>Green Bay is undefeated in four straight meetings with Detroit, but the Packers are only 1-3 ATS in that span. The Lions have also covered in three of their previous four visits to Lambeau Field, so let’s see what’s the best Lions vs. Packers betting pick for their meeting in 2021.</p>



<h2><strong>Detroit nearly overcame a 28-point deficit in Week 1&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Detroit Lions kicked off the 2021 season with a 41-33 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers. They managed to cover a 9.5-point spread but extended their losing streak to five games dating back to the previous season.</p>



<p>The Lions trailed 38-10 early in the second half and 41-17 with less than ten minutes to go in the fourth quarter. They scored a couple of touchdowns with a two-point conversion down the stretch but failed to complete a huge comeback.</p>



<p>Jared Goff tossed for 338 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception, completing 38 of his 57 passing attempts. T.J. Hockenson had eight receptions for 97 yards and a TD, while Jamaal Williams added nine carries for 54 yards and a TD. The Lions racked up 430 total yards and gave up 442 in a return.</p>



<h2><strong>Green Bay suffered an embarrassing loss in the opener&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Green Bay Packers are coming off a heavy 38-3 defeat to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The game was played at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, as the Saints had to leave home due to Hurricane Ida, but the Packers failed to get any advantage of the neutral site and suffered an embarrassing defeat.</p>



<p>Green Bay generated only 229 total yards while going 0-for-2 in the red zone. Their defense was struggling, too, surrendering 171 rushing yards, while the Saints were 4-for-4 in the red zone.</p>



<p>Aaron Rodgers was awful, throwing for 133 yards and a couple of interceptions. Jordan Love took over down the stretch and completed five of his seven passing attempts for 68 yards. Davante Adams had five receptions for 56 yards, while the Packers ran 15 times for a paltry 43 yards.</p>



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



<p><strong>Detroit:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven games as double-digit underdogs</li></ul>



<p><strong>Green Bay:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-2-1 ATS in the last nine outings in Week 2&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-detroit-lions-vs-green-bay-packers-pick"><strong>Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Packers must be fired up for this divisional battle. All four NFC North teams suffered a loss in Week 1, so Green Bay can forget about that ugly defeat to New Orleans and look to the future. On paper, the Packers are a much better team than the Lions, so the hosts shouldn’t have any problems grabbing a win in this matchup.</p>



<p>Last year, the Packers smashed the Lions at Lambeau Field, 42-21. I’m looking for another comfortable win Monday, but buying a couple of points should be a smart move. The Lions showed in Week 1 that they won’t give up even when they are down by 20-plus points.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Green Bay Packers -9.5 at -145&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>Although their receiving corps looks bad on paper, the Lions’ passing game looked good in the fourth quarter of that Week 1 home loss to the Niners. Detroit will probably have to lean on it once more, while the Lions’ D will have a tall task to slow down the Packers, who’ll be ready to bounce back in front of the home fans.</p>



<p>Hereof, I’m backing the over on the totals, expecting Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ offense to put on a show. The Lions will be forced to throw the pigskin a lot should the Packers build an early lead.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 48.5 points at -110</strong></p>

Maryland Terrapins vs Penn State Nittany Lions Betting Pick & Prediction 11/30/24

As a general rule, there are way too many names listed on the board for the Cy Young Award. National League voters have been a little more lenient than American League voters. As far as the AL Cy Young Award goes, every pitcher since 1994 has had either 20 wins or 200 strikeouts and a few guys have had both.

Remember, though, that 1994 was a strike year and that went to David Cone with a 16-5 record, a 2.94 ERA, and 132 K in 171.2 innings of work. Prior to that, you have to go back to 1992 when Dennis Eckersley won and then in 1984 when reliever Willie Hernandez won.

In other words, winning the award in the American League is very hard. You have strict criteria that you have to meet. Let’s look at the odds and then narrow the field down.

Here are the AL Cy Young Award odds per <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> as of February 20, 2020:

There were 24 pitchers that had at least 200 strikeouts last season. Only 10 were in the American League. They were Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander, Shane Bieber, Lance Lynn, Charlie Morton, Matthew Boyd, Lucas Giolito, Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Mike Minor.

There are two pitchers, Mike Clevinger and Tyler Glasnow, that would have been on a 200-strikeout pace had they stayed healthy. Trevor Bauer also would have been, had he stayed with the Indians for the entire season.

In this era of strikeouts, only Rick Porcello (22 wins) in 2016 and Cliff Lee (22 wins) in 2008 have failed to get 200 strikeouts and win the Cy Young dating back to 2006. It is almost a prerequisite to winning the award. If not, you have to be on a really good team with the opportunity to get wins. Lee was the lone exception with the wins because the 2008 Indians were bad.

That narrows down the list a lot for us. We need guys that have 200-strikeout upside. If a guy like Jesus Luzardo at 225/1 or Frankie Montas at 100/1 could stay healthy enough to throw 170ish innings, they’d have a chance. Luzardo at 225/1 is about the only really big balloon number I would consider, but it would be a tall task to work that many innings.

Because of that, quite frankly, we’re left looking at a lot of short prices. A guy like Michael Kopech at 80/1 has the strikeout upside, but he is coming off of Tommy John and will likely be limited. Same with Lance McCullers Jr.

The longest price on the board with a shot at 200 K is Eduardo Rodriguez at 50/1, but it seems unlikely that he will have the wins or the ERA, since that is still an important stat in the minds of voters.

Enough beating around the bush, eh? Here are three Cy Young Award candidates to consider:

<strong>Charlie Morton (+2500) – </strong>Charlie Morton had everything you wanted in a Cy Young candidate last season. He struck out 240 in 194.2 innings. He had 16 wins and an ERA of 3.05. He also allowed the fewest home runs of any pitcher with at least 150 innings pitched. He was really special. The obvious worry here is for a setback in his age-36 season, but Morton had a 2.32 ERA with 142 K in 112.2 innings in the first half. A 68% LOB% in the second half hurt his ERA. His K% did fall to 28.8%, which still classifies as elite, but he got unlucky with runners on base.

Morton has the bullpen to get the wins. He has the team to get the wins. He has the strikeout upside. He could also have a pretty good story if he decides that this is his last season and looks to retire after the year. The voters may give him a nod as a result.

<strong>Mike Clevinger (+1600) – </strong>Mike Clevinger is going to miss a few starts in April and that is the concern. In all honesty, once we get a clearer picture of how much time he will miss, there is a good chance that his price goes up into the 25/1 range. At the very least, you’ll probably be able to find a better number than this.

When Blake Snell won the Cy Young Award in 2018, he only pitched 180.2 innings, so it can be done. Clevinger would need over 200 strikeouts, a good record, and probably a very good ERA. Snell’s ERA was 1.89. Clevinger had a 2.71 ERA over his 126 innings last season with 169 strikeouts. He actually struggled immediately following his return from the injured list. He allowed 12 runs in 6.1 innings.

From July 3 through the end of the season, Clevinger had a 2.17 ERA with 138 K in 107.2 innings of work. If we take away his last start, Clevinger allowed 20 runs in 16 starts from July 3 to September 24. There is a path for him to win the Cy Young, assuming he doesn’t miss too much time in April.

<strong>Chris Sale (+500) – </strong>In all honesty, this is Gerrit Cole’s award to lose. I don’t know if the Red Sox are going to be good enough or if Chris Sale is going to be healthy enough, but Sale will have the numbers. He only pitched 147.1 innings and struck out 218 batters. Sale should have won the award in 2017 with 308 strikeouts, but for some reason, he didn’t.

Sale was hurt by three things last season. Actual injury. Sequencing luck. Home runs. Sale was limited to 25 starts. He had a 66.7% LOB% that drove his ERA up to 4.40, despite a 3.39 FIP. His xFIP was 2.93. His HR/FB% ballooned to 19.5%. He was never really right last season.

I wouldn’t bet Sale at 5/1, but if you find a higher price in the 8/1 or 9/1 range, he’s worth it. He has a chance to really bounce back with a vengeance. I don’t know if he’ll have the wins on a mediocre Red Sox team, but he’s going to have the strikeouts and should have the ERA and FIP.

I have much better long shot options in the National League.

New Hampshire Wildcats vs Columbia Lions NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/25/24

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat continue their battle Tuesday night with Game 4 of the 2020 NBA Finals and things are heating up after Miami beat LA 115-104 in Game 3 this past Sunday. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, the Lakers have a 2-1 lead and Game 4 will be a joy to watch. The NBA betting action goes on, too, so here’s the best betting pick for the Lakers versus Heat showdown along with all the key betting tips and trends.  </span>
<h3><b>The Line</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Lakers are 7.5-point favorites on </span><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/">BetDSI</a></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, while their moneyline odds sit at -310. The Heat are +260 moneyline dogs with a total of 218.5 points. </span>
<h3><b>Injuries/Suspensions</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Miami will be without Goran Dragic (foot), while Bam Adebayo (neck) is questionable to play after missing the previous two games. LA doesn’t have any serious injury worries. </span>
<h3><b>What's at Stake?</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Just 13 teams in NBA history managed to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the playoff series, and only the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James onwards did it in the NBA Finals, so the Heat don’t want to get into a 3-1 hole.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other side, LeBron and the Lakers should know that job is not done yet. </span>
<h3><b>The Spot</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Heat looked helpless in the first two contests of this series. However, they found a way to cope with the Lakers in Game 3 despite missing Dragic and Adebayo, so Sunday’s victory was a massive boost for Miami’s confidence. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Lakers, on the other side, should have learned a few lessons and will try to get momentum back on their side in Game 4. </span>
<h3><b>The Matchup</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthony Davis was dominating the Heat through the first games of the series. He had 34 points and nine rebounds in the opener, and Davis posted 32 points along 14 boards in Game 2. However, he had a tough night on Sunday, taking just nine shots and finishing the clash with 15 points and five boards. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">LeBron James turned the ball over eight times after committing zero turnovers in Game 2, so the Lakers couldn’t expect to get anything from Sunday’s game. Markieff Morris and Kyle Kuzma combined for nine triples and 38 points off the bench, but that wasn’t enough against the resilient Heat. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jimmy Butler led the way for Miami with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 dimes while shooting 14-for-20 from the field and 12-for-14 from the free-throw line. Five Heat players scored in double figures including Kelly Olynyk who posted 17 points and seven boards off the bench. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Although they missed Bam Adebayo, the Heat somehow managed to deal with the Lakers on the defensive end. They will need more of the same in order to pull off another upset. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Miami shot 51.2% from the field in Game 3 while outscoring the Lakers in the paint (52-34). That was another important factor in Miami’s victory, but the Heat continues to struggle on the glass. They allowed a whopping 27 offensive rebounds in the previous two games. </span>
<h3><b>The Bets</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I got burned on Sunday, predicting the Lakers’ third straight win in the finals. The Heat really surprised me with their terrific defense, while they executed offensively like there was no pressure on their shoulders. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite that performance, I expect the Lakers to gel the things and beat the Heat on Tuesday. However, I don’t feel comfortable with a 7.5-point spread. The Heat could easily keep it close, especially if Adebayo returns. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, I think the Lakers are experienced enough to avoid another loss, so I’m buying a couple of points and taking the Lakers as 5.5-point favorites. LA won eight of its last 10 matchups with Miami but covered just five times in the process. </span>

<p>Game four of an Eastern Conference Second Round series is set for Wednesday night when the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Florida Panthers. The Maple Leafs finally shook the first-round monkey off their back, but they are now just one loss away from getting swept right out of the playoffs. Below is my NHL pick for the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-toronto-maple-leafs-vs-florida-panthers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Florida Panthers +105</p>



<p>This game will be played at FLA Live Arena at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 10, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-florida-panthers"><a></a>Why Bet the Florida Panthers:</h2>



<p>✅ Florida is riding that playoff wave and have won six consecutive games.</p>



<p>✅ The Panthers have won nine of their last 12 home games against the Maple Leafs.</p>



<p>✅ Toronto has lost four of their last five games against Florida.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-toronto-maple-leafs-are-yet-to-show-up"><a></a>Toronto Maple Leafs Are Yet to Show Up</h2>



<p>I’m sure Toronto sports radio is stayed nice and calm over the two-day break between game three and game four. The town was buzzing after their first round series win over Tampa Bay, but in a span of six days their season was put on the brink of being over. After a game three 3-2 defeat, Toronto will have to win four consecutive games to advance.</p>



<p>Toronto started well again as they got on the board just 2:26 into game three. The score stayed 1-0 until the Panthers tied the game up 2:36 into the second period. Toronto answered to retake the lead a few minutes later, but the Panthers answered again to tie the game up after the second period. It was a scoreless third period and it took just 3:02 into the overtime period to get the win and take a 3-0 series lead.</p>



<p>Sam Lafferty and Erik Gustafsson both scored for Toronto in the defeat. Four different Maple Leafs recorded an assist on the night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-florida-panthers-are-riding-that-playoff-wave">The Florida Panthers Are Riding That Playoff Wave</h2>



<p>Florida was one game away, and a breakaway save away, from being eliminated from the playoffs just two weeks ago, but now they are just one win away from making the Eastern Conference Finals. It has been quite the six game stretch for the Panthers and they will hope to keep that momentum and avoid a catastrophic collapse.</p>



<p>Sam Bennett scored the game winning goal and he was joined on the scoresheet by Anthony Duclair and Carter Verhaeghe. Four different Panthers recorded an assist in the game three win.</p>
