San Jose Sharks vs New York Rangers Betting Pick & Prediction 11/14/24

<p>The Belgian Grand Prix from Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is another Sprint Race weekend, giving more F1 betting options across the weekend. While all the teams aim to head into the summer break with positive momentum, Red Bull aims to extend its Grand Prix winning streak, while Max Verstappen pursues win number eight in a row and tenth of the season.</p>



<p>As always, Bangthebook is about finding winning bets up and down the grid and has picks from Verstappen to the back of the grid in our Belgian Grand Prix betting preview.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Max Verstappen Versus the World - Chapter 12: Can Super Max Collect All the Points Again?</h2>



<p>During the last Sprint Race weekend in Austria, Super Max collected every point possible, taking the pole and winning both the Sprint Race and Grand Prix while collecting the fastest lap. Last week in Hungary, Verstappen and the RB-19’s Sunday drive was his seventh consecutive Grand Prix win - his ninth of the season - and his eleventh top-two finish of the season, winning by 33.731 seconds.</p>



<p>Verstappen’s win in Hungary was compared to his Spa 2022 performance, where the RB-18 was a rocketship, and Verstappen won by 17.841 seconds over teammate Sergio Pérez and 26.886 seconds over Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz.</p>



<p>We forgot to mention Max won the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix from 14th, despite taking pole position.</p>



<p>Again, take the free money: take Verstappen (-350) over the field (+275) and Red Bull to win the Sprint Race, Belgian Grand Prix, and for Verstappen (-600) to outqualify Sergio Pérez (+400), with Verstappen holding a 9-2 edge in the head-to-head qualifying battle.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Best Belgian Grand Prix Qualifying Head-To-Head Betting Options</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Albon Remains Free Money</h3>



<p>The Williams’ low-drag nature will leave us all surprised with their lap times this weekend. We like Alex Albon to score points this weekend, but we’re taking three free money in the Williams qualifying head-to-head battle.</p>



<p>Albon <em>(priced at -800 over at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a>)</em> has outqualified rookie teammate Logan Sargeant (+500) in all 11 sessions this season, and that will not change at Spa-Francorchamps.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ricciardo versus Tsunoda</h3>



<p>Daniel Ricciardo might have benefitted from having the Alpha Tauri’s new spec front wing to defeat Tsunoda in qualifying, but he had a great weekend jumping into the Alpha Tauri without any on-track running and defeating Tsunoda.</p>



<p>Ricciardo (-110) should be the faster of the two drivers and should defeat Tsunoda (-120) at Spa.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Mercedes Battle</h3>



<p>Lewis Hamilton is coming off a record-setting pole position in Hungary, giving him the 6-5 head-to-head qualifying advantage over George Russell.</p>



<p>However, Hamilton (-180) has gotten the better of Russell (+150) consistently recently: Hamilton has outqualified Russell in five of the last six races.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Best Belgian Grand Prix Head-To-Head Betting Option</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">More Alex Albon Picks?</h3>



<p>Yes! We’re so confident that the Williams will be fast at Spa - the home of a few recent Williams highlights - that we’re taking Albon to out-finish Alpine’s Pierre Gasly.</p>



<p>Albon (-110) has only finished higher than Gasly (-120) twice this season at Montreal and Silverstone: two circuits that reward lower-drag setups similar to Spa-Francorchamps.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-only-one-alpha-alfa-can-stay">Only One Alpha (Alfa?) Can Stay</h3>



<p>By 2026, there won’t be an Alpha or Alfa on the grid, but only one can out-finish the other in the Belgian Grand Prix.</p>



<p>An Alpha Tauri has out-finished Zhou Guanyu (-145) in six of the eleven races this season. Ricciardo (+115) out-finished Zhou at the Hungaroring and is likely the fastest of the three drivers who’ve driven the Alpha Tauri this season. We’re taking Ricciardo to make it 2-0 over Zhou.</p>



<p>In the other Alpha/Alfa seats, Valtteri Bottas (-170) and Yuki Tsunoda (+140) were tied 5-5 in the head-to-head battle heading into the Hungaroring. Bottas’ 12th-place finish gave him the 6-5 head-to-head lead, out-finishing Tsunoda in five of the last seven Grand Prix - a trend we think continues.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mercedes Power Shootout</h3>



<p>The upgraded McLaren MCL-60 had us running to put Oscar Piastri in our F1 fantasy team, to great success over the last two races, with Piastri finishing fourth at Silverstone and fifth at the Hungaroring.</p>



<p>Piastri (+105) has finished one place ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell (-135) since receiving the upgrades, which have McLaren firmly in the fight for the best of the rest. While both drivers have Mercedes power units, we’re taking Piastri in papaya to out-finish Russell.</p>

Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix Betting Preview

<p>Week 14 of the 2021-22 NBA season wraps up Sunday, January 23, with 11 games around the Association, so we have prepared the best Nets vs. Timberwolves betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Brooklyn and Minnesota close down their two-game regular-season series. Back in December, the Nets outlasted the Timberwolves 110-105 as 9-point home favorites to record their third consecutive victory over Minnesota.</p>



<h2>The Nets shoot for their third consecutive W  </h2>



<p>The Brooklyn Nets improved to 29-16 straight up and 18-26-1 ATS on the season following a 117-102 victory at the San Antonio Spurs this past Friday. It was their second win on the spin, while James Harden put on a show with a 37-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double.</p>



<p>The Nets desperately needed somebody to step up in Kevin Durant’s absence. KD is sidelined with a knee injury and won’t be available for the next four weeks. Harden shot 13-for-24 from the field, while Kyrie Irving accounted for 24 points and four assists.</p>



<p>Brooklyn is topping the Eastern Conference at the moment, half a game ahead of the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. The Nets are scoring 112.3 points per 100 possessions (7<sup>th</sup> in the NBA) on 47.3% shooting from the field (tied-3<sup>rd</sup>) and 35.0% from beyond the arc (tied-15<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2>The T-Wolves hope to get back on the winning track    </h2>



<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves fell to 22-23 straight up and 23-22 ATS on the season following a 134-122 defeat at the Atlanta Hawks this past Wednesday. After a couple of nice wins over Golden State 119-99 and New York 112-110, the T-Wolves fell apart on the defensive end, blowing a 12-point lead from halftime.</p>



<p>Minnesota allowed the Hawks to score a whopping 45 points in the third quarter. Atlanta shot 52.3% from the field, while the Timberwolves made only 43.3% of their field goals. D’Angelo Russell led the charge for Minnesota, tallying 31 points on 10-for-18 shooting from the field, but his team simply ran out of gas on the second day of a back-to-back set.</p>



<p>The T-Wolves are tied with the LA Clippers for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. They score 109.8 points per 100 possessions (tied-18<sup>th</sup> in the NBA) on 43.9% shooting from the field (24<sup>th</sup>) and 34.1% from downtown (tied-20<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Brooklyn:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-9 ATS in the last 13 games overall</li><li>1-5 ATS in the last six road games against Minnesota</li></ul>



<p><strong>Minnesota:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-1 ATS in the last eight games against Brooklyn&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-brooklyn-nets-vs-minnesota-timberwolves-pick">Brooklyn Nets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Pick</h2>



<p>Both Brooklyn and Minnesota have been pretty much hit-or-miss lately. The Timberwolves are 6-4 SU and 5-5 ATS over their last ten games, while the Nets are 5-4 SU and 4-5 ATS over their previous nine. Hereof, I lean the hosts only because of KD’s absence. The T-Wolves had three days to rest and prepare for this game, while Patrick Beverley is their only guy listed as questionable to play.</p>



<p>Minnesota allows 109.1 points per 100 possessions (tied-10<sup>th</sup> in the league) on 33.8% shooting from deep (tied-6<sup>th</sup>). On the other side, Brooklyn yields 109.6 points per 100 possessions (14<sup>th</sup>) on 32.5% shooting from downtown (1<sup>st</sup>). Whoever brings more energy on the defensive end will have a nice chance to win this battle.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Minnesota Timberwolves -2.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The over is 6-1 in the Timberwolves’ last seven games overall, while the under is 4-3 in the Nets’ last seven. Their previous three encounters have gone under the total, so I’ll follow the H2H betting trend.</p>



<p>The line is sky-high at 239 points. Minnesota loves to play at a fast pace, but Brooklyn has to slow things down. Without Kevin Durant, the Nets also need aggressive defense, while none of their last five games has produced more than 239 points in total.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 239.0 points at -110&nbsp;</strong></p>

William & Mary Tribe vs Appalachian State Mountaineers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

Another UFC event is in the books as the top mixed martial arts promotion in the world surges forward with events at the empty VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Saturday May 16 brings our third UFC event of the week, headlined by a main event featuring Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris. UFC Fight Night 172 is the weakest of the three cards that we have had, but any event is a good event these days.

We’ll break down the 11 fights on the card with odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> and we’ll keep bringing you these fight previews as long as we have them.

Action starts at 6 p.m. ET with -120 favorite <strong>Don’Tale Mayes</strong> against UFC debutant <strong>Rodrigo Nascimento</strong>. Nascimento is +100 after impressing on the Dana White Contender Series last July with a first-round submission victory against Michal Martinek. Nascimento is a perfect 7-0 with seven stoppage wins in his MMA career, which started back in 2012. Mayes got two tries on the Dana White Contender Series before getting a full contract. He lost his debut fight to Ciryl Gane, but he went nearly 15 minutes with the monstrous heavyweight before tapping out. He took some punishment in that fight, but kept on ticking. These are two decent heavyweight prospects in their late-20s, so this may be a springboard fight for both guys. It is a hard fight to gauge, but Gane is better than anybody Nascimento has fought and Mayes showed well there.

<strong>Cortney Casey</strong> is a -165 favorite against <strong>Mara Romero Borella</strong> in the women’s flyweight division. This one is heavily juiced on the over 2.5 at -445, so it would seem that Casey by decision is the most likely outcome. Casey has lost three of her last four fights. So has Borella, who last back on February 15 to Montana De La Rosa by decision. This is the first fight in 15 months for Casey, so I’m not sure I could lay the big number, but Borella hasn’t shown much upset potential.

<strong>Darren Elkins</strong> is -125 in what projects to be a competitive fight against <strong>Nate Landwehr</strong>. Landwehr is +105 in search of his first UFC win. He lost to Herbert Burns by first-round knockout in his UFC debut being the M-1 champion with two title defenses in the featherweight division. Elkins is hoping to celebrate his 36th birthday with a win. He hasn’t had one of those since January 14, 2018, with losses to Ryan Hall, Ricardo Lamas, and Alexander Volkanovski. He really seems to be on the downside of his career and Landwehr has a good chance at the mild upset here.

A couple more featherweights square off here in a battle between heavily-favored <strong>Mike Davis </strong>and <strong>Giga Chikadze</strong>. Davis is the -210 favorite with the over juiced at -175 on 2.5 rounds. David, who lost to Sadiq Yusuff on the Dana White Contender Series, stopped in Island Fights for a couple matches before getting a UFC contract starting with a fight against Gilbert Burns. He lost that one, but bounced back for his first career win with just 15 seconds left against Thomas Gifford. Chikadze was victorious over Jamall Emmers back at UFC 248 right before everything shut down. He’s won both of his UFC fights after a DWTNCS loss in 2018. Davis has a higher ceiling as a prospect, but this line is getting a little high given the bodies of work for both guys.

Former LFA champion <strong>Anthony Hernandez</strong> will get in the Octagon for his fourth career UFC fight in this scrap against <strong>Kevin Holland</strong>. Holland is the very mild favorite at -115 in another fight expected to require judges’ input. Interestingly enough, Holland’s most recent fight was a loss to Branden Allen. Allen is the man that Hernandez beat to win his LFA title in the middleweight division. That loss for Holland snapped a three-fight winning streak. Hernandez responded to his first career loss with an impressive win over Jun Yong Park. Holland is the more accomplished UFC fighter, so he gets the nod at -115 here in what should be one of the better fights of the card.

<strong>Miguel Baeza</strong> puts his undefeated 8-0 record on the line in this fight against UFC veteran <strong>Matt Brown</strong>. The welterweight matchup has Baeza as a -210 favorite and this is first non-heavyweight fight of the night expected to end prior to the final bell. This looks like a fight for Baeza to score a win over a name opponent with a wide audience looking on. Baeza knocked out Hector Aldana in his UFC debut and now draws a veteran of 40 fights that has only fought once in the last 2.5 years. Brown did beat Ben Saunders back in December to turn the clock back, but Baeza is the pick here.

<strong>Marlon Vera (+145) vs. Song Yadong (-165); Total: 2.5 (-115/-105)</strong>

The main card starts with a bang, as Marlon Vera puts his five-fight winning streak on the line against Song Yadong. Vera has won all five via stoppage, with three knockouts and two submissions. It has been an extremely impressive transformation for Vera, who lost back-to-back decisions to John Lineker and Douglas Silva de Andrade before this recent run. He isn’t getting much respect here in this line, but that could be to our benefit.

Song Yadong is 4-0-1 in his UFC career. He fought to a majority draw on December 7 against Cody Stamann. Stamann won the third round and was able to gain some favor with the judges as a result. Song has to avoid the ground game here of Vera. Stamann took the fight to the ground and managed to gain enough control to close the gap after a bad first round. We’ll have to wait and see how Song has adjusted, but I wouldn’t lay a big price like this after that last showing.

<strong>Pick: Marlon Vera</strong>

<strong>Eryk Anders (+140) vs. Krzysztof Jotko (-160); Total: 2.5 (-170/150)</strong>

It might be a little bit unfair to say that Eryk Anders has been a disappointment in the UFC, but he certainly was billed as much more than he became. Anders may be blooming late in his career after a split decision win against Gerald Meerschaert, but he just hasn’t consistently been good enough. We see that in this price against Krzysztof Jotko. Anders did finish 2019 on a high note, but lost three straight and four of five prior to that.

Of course, we can say the same about Krzysztof Jotko’s recent results as well. He beat Marc-Andre Barriault and Alen Amedovski to finish 2019 on a high note after a terrible run in 2017 and 2018. Neither one of these guys has consistently shown the ability to inflict enough damage to get a stoppage. Quite frankly, this fight could go either way once it gets in the hands of the judges. Statistically, these two guys are quite similar in terms of significant strikes and takedowns. The best play here is to lay the over 2.5 juice.

<strong>Pick: Over 2.5</strong>

<strong>Dan Ige (+110) vs. Edson Barboza (-130); Total: 2.5 (-155/135)</strong>

Very quietly, Dan Ige has had a fine UFC career. He lost his debut fight to Julio Arce, but he’s won five straight since then. His win at UFC 247 over Mirsad Bektic was a war that ended in a split-decision win for Ige, but he got the job done. He’s coming back to take on Edson Barboza in this scrap. The 28-year-old Ige is stepping up in class here. Barboza has lost four of his last five fights, but those losses have been Paul Felder, Justin Gaethje, Kevin Lee, and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

This feels like a fight that UFC likes to mix in every now and then. They like fights to put guys over and they like fights to put guys back on the map. Barboza badly needs a win. Ige has an impressive run going, but you can certainly poke holes in the quality of competition. As a result, we see Barboza a -130 favorite here with that in mind. He’s fought many of the division’s best. Ige isn’t on that level.

<strong>Pick: Edson Barboza</strong>

<strong>Angela Hill (+165) vs. Claudia Gadelha (-190); Total: 2.5 (-335/275)</strong>

The price says it all here. Angela Hill is having a nice run. She has three straight wins and two of them came earlier in 2020 before everything shut down. She knocked out Hannah Cifers and beat Loma Lookboonmee. She takes on a strong customer here in Claudia Gadelha. The 31-year-old Gadelha has actually been something of a disappointment to this point in UFC. Since her title opportunity against Joanna Jedrzejczyk, she’s just 4-2 and only fought once last year.

Hill is a hard worker. She fights a lot. Gadelha hasn’t had that chance recently because of a major ankle injury and then a canceled fight because Alexa Grasso missed weight. The fact is that we haven’t seen Gadelha post-injury, which she suffered last October. I’m not sure what we get here. We know what Hill is and she probably isn’t good enough to beat Gadelha if the favorite is operating anywhere close to normal.

<strong>Pick: Claudia Gadelha</strong>

<strong>Alistair Overeem (+125) vs. Walt Harris (-145); Total: 1.5 (-145/125)</strong>

It will be an emotional return to the Octagon for Walt Harris. The -145 favorite in this fight tragically lost his stepdaughter Aniah last fall, just days before a scheduled match against Alistair Overeem was supposed to take place. Harris had already withdrawn from the fight, but he got the news that he nobody wanted to hear. This is his return to the main stage of UFC and it is sure to be a difficult day for him.

Similarly, it has to be tough for Overeem. The 39-year-old wants to win and needs a win after losing to Jair Rozenstruik, but these two guys have been around a while and it would be tough for Overeem to be too excited about beating up an opponent like Harris. We’ll have to see how both fighters handle this one. I’m not really sure where to begin with a fight like this. It will be a trying experience for both fighters.
