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.

College Basketball Picks -- Arizona hosts Wazzu as they try to close out things right

The Arizona Wildcats knew they were going to have an unusual season, for reasons that had nothing to do with the pandemic. The athletic department self-imposed a one-year ban from post-season play, so given the fact that there was going to be no reward at the end of the season, these games in the regular Pac-12 schedule carry with them a little more meaning.

And one of those will come on Thursday night, as the 'Cats take on the Washington State Cougars in a feline struggle that takes place at 11 p.m. Eastern time at the McKale Center in Tucson.

Remember that if you are signed up with <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a>, you can take advantage of reduced juice for better odds, and then, after the game begins, you can place wagers in real time with the help of Sports Betting Prime.

WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS at ARIZONA WILDCATS, 11 p.m. ET (Fox Sports 1)

College Basketball Odds: Arizona - 9, Total 138.5

Washington State won its first three games of the season, playing lesser opposition, and has compiled a 7 - 10 record in the conference. They have recorded pretty good wins over Oregon, UCLA and Stanford, beating Oregon on the road, along with Washington and California. Their Saturday win over the Cardinal came in triple overtime, and they outscored Stanford 9 - 0 in the third extra session.

Noah Williams, the sophomore swingman, scored 40 points, with eight triples. But the flip side is that he only made four of his 17 shots from inside the three-point line and committed a whopping nine turnovers.

Arizona, who had previously defeated Colorado at the outset of the Pac-12 season, scored a nice 81 - 72 victory over USC on Saturday. That was the Trojans' only loss in their last nine games. But the Wildcats have been far from invincible at home, losing decisions to USC, UCLA, Stanford and Oregon.

Obviously Arizona is the solid favorite in this one, but which way does the pendulum swing when it comes to the cover? Well, we are going to give the edge to Archie Miller's squad, for a number of reasons.

One of them is that Arizona is going to thwart that which Washington State probably does best, which is clean the glass. Yes, the Cougars have done a more than respectable job in that regard, but Arizona has pulled down 76% of available defensive rebounds and 34.6% on the offensive end. That latter figure puts them in the top 20 in the country. And they are second in the Pac-12 in both of those categories. It also bears mentioning that Arizona won the battle of the boards this past weekend with USC, which leads the Pac-12 in rebounding. The margin on the boards was 43 - 36 in favor of the Wildcats, and that has been in keeping with their season-long rebounding margin of + 8.5 per game.

Another factor is that Washington State turns the ball over more often than any other team in the conference. And so by flipping the court, Arizona creates more opportunities for itself. Also, on those occasions when it does attempt a three-pointer, the Arizona team is more than solid, hitting almost 38%, which ranks among the top 30 in the country.

They also manage to get to the free-throw line an awful lot. In fact, Arizona gets 23.2% of its total point output from the charity stripe, and only twelve teams in the country produce at a higher percentage than that.

So essentially what you have here are a lot of ways where Arizona will get extra points over Wazzu, whether it be by second chances, creating additional possessions through turnovers, nailing threes instead of twos with more proficiency, and then turning opportunities in the paint into points. They've done a pretty good job of showing their motivation level, even though they know it's kind of a dead end. So we are laying the points with Arizona in this Pac-12 game.

Winnipeg Jets vs Detroit Red Wings Betting Pick & Prediction 10/30/24

You may have heard by now that Super Bowl LV is on Sunday February 7. You may have even heard that the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are this season’s two participants in the battle for the Lombardi Trophy. You may have even heard that Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady are the quarterbacks for their respective teams.

By the time SBLV kicks off, you’ll have Super Bowl fatigue. It’s a given. Every single matchup, every single angle about this game goes under the world’s largest microscope at some point. That isn’t a slight about the game or about the coverage. It’s simply that the last football game of the year gets a lot of scrutiny and a ton of attention.

It also gets a lot of scrutiny and a ton of attention from bettors and bookmakers. As a general rule, this is the sharpest line of the year. Actual bets and actual dollars shape the betting markets. Oddsmakers put up a number and the subsequent betting action makes the number what it is by smoothing out all of the rough edges.

This year’s line was particularly easy to set because these two teams just played in Week 12. Kansas City won the game 27-24 as a 3.5-point favorite. The total closed 56 and the box score suggests that there should been more than 51 points. The teams went 1-for-5 in the red zone and only scored 51 points despite 960 yards of offense.
<h3>Super Bowl LV Betting Odds</h3>
So what happened here? The line went up as Kansas City -3.5 and the total went up at 57, shaded to the over a little bit because of the first box score and also the fact that sportsbooks will be flush with over cash on a game of this magnitude with two well-known quarterbacks and lots of public investment.

A week out from the game, the line sits at -3 and extra juice on Kansas City at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a> with a total of 56. This line moved a little bit initially in favor of Tampa Bay and in favor of the under when it first came out. It basically hasn’t moved much since early last Monday. And it likely won’t move much.

Information is everything in the bookmaking process. The risk managers know that 3.5 is a buy point for Tampa Bay money and 56.5 or 57 are buy points for some sharper under money while waiting for the deluge of recreational bettors to pop in on the game beginning Friday or Saturday. It took mere hours for the sportsbooks to know exactly how the betting action was going to go here.

The one interesting thing about the Super Bowl odds is that the money line is often a point of value on the favorite. A lot of recreational bettors, either looking for rooting interest or seeing recent underdog trends, will “bet a little to win a lot” whenever possible. That means taking the plus money price on the underdog money line to win outright. Generally speaking, you wind up with a money line on the favorite that is lower than it typically would be relative to the spread on the game.

We haven’t seen that yet in this one because the books haven’t had to move much in that regard, but we could see Kansas City maybe hit -160 or so by kickoff. You’d generally see -165 to -175 with a three-point favorite otherwise.
<h3>Kansas City Chiefs</h3>
The Chiefs are the road team here. This marks the first Super Bowl in NFL history when the host venue is also the home stadium of one of the participants. The Los Angeles Rams played at the Rose Bowl in Super Bowl XIV and the San Francisco 49ers played at Stanford Stadium in Super Bowl XIX. Those two teams were the closest we had gotten up until this point.

Frankly, though, with limited attendance because of COVID and the astronomical ticket prices associated with low supply and moderate demand, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal for the Chiefs. Honestly, if the Chiefs offense plays like it did in Week 12, I’m not sure anything will matter.

Kansas City racked up 543 yards on 72 plays and basically took the fourth quarter off. Kansas City fumbled inside the 10 with a chance to go up 24-0 in the first half. On the first drive, Andy Reid opted to kick a 19-yard field goal instead of going for it on fourth down at the one-yard-line. It very easily could have been a 28-7 game at half instead of the 20-7 game that it was.

The Buccaneers kicked a field goal on the opening possession of the second half and the Chiefs marched downfield to take a 27-10 lead. They didn’t score again and only had 38 yards on the next three drives as Tampa Bay had two turnovers and a touchdown. At the end of the game, the Chiefs got three first downs and burned 4:10 off the clock to secure the 27-24 win.

After the 75-yard touchdown drive, the Chiefs had 71 yards on their final four drives. Before they stopped trying, Kansas City had 452 yards on 51 plays. That was a story for the Chiefs throughout most of the season. They took a lot of fourth quarters off, much to the chagrin of bettors. Kansas City was a terrible ATS team during the season, even though they won several box scores in lopsided fashion.

The 543 yards in the first Tampa Bay meeting were a season high for the Chiefs. They dominated that game, but didn’t cover. They did the same against Denver in Week 13 and the same against the Browns in the Divisional Round.

Patrick Mahomes missed a game because the Chiefs sat everybody in Week 17. He finished the regular season with a 38/6 TD/INT ratio and a 66.3% completion rate. He was only sacked 22 times, which will be a key in this game. The defensive line for the Buccaneers may be the only hope of stopping this juggernaut of an offense. Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks from an escapability standpoint.

Nobody can match up with Travis Kelce and shut him down. If you try, Tyreek Hill will burn you. The numbers are really good for both guys. It would be overkill to list them. We all know it.

If there are flaws with the Chiefs, you’d point to the red zone defense first, which was the worst in the NFL in the regular season, allowing a touchdown 76.6% of the time. The other thing you would point to is the run defense. From a DVOA standpoint, the Chiefs rush defense was a bottom-five unit.

<h3>Tampa Bay Buccaneers</h3>
Can the Buccaneers exploit those two defensive weaknesses and make a real game of this thing? It sure is possible. The Bucs were seventh in TD% in the red zone with a bevy of weapons at the disposal of Tom Brady. You would think that with tighter windows and less zip on the fastball, Brady and the Bucs would have had some hiccups in the scoring areas, but they did quite well overall.

Brady wound up with a 40/12 TD/INT ratio for the season and completed 65.7% of his tosses. He’s had some ugly interceptions in the playoffs and has only completed 55% of his passes. He gave the Packers every chance imaginable to come back and win the NFC Championship Game, but the defense stood strong and the Packers had some drops and misfires.

Tampa Bay has won seven games in a row, including three games here in the postseason after only beating one playoff team (Green Bay) during the regular season. On the other hand, the Bucs trailed Atlanta big at halftime in Week 15 before turning things around. Minnesota left 10 points on the field in the kicking game in Week 14. The Lions quit in Week 16. The Falcons were no match in the rematch in Week 17 as they were playing out the string and the Buccaneers were vying for the fifth seed to get Washington in the first round.

Maybe some, possibly myself included, are being too hard on the Buccaneers. This was arguably the best run defense in the regular season. The Buccaneers had 25 takeaways in 16 games and have seven of them in three playoff games. Opponents only scored 1.89 points per drive against this Todd Bowles defense. The return of Vita Vea seemed to be a big help, even in limited action, as the Buccaneers sacked Aaron Rodgers five times and altered other throws with pressure.

The safety position is in the spotlight here for the home team. Both Antoine Winfield Jr. and Jordan Whitehead left the NFC Championship Game with injuries. They’ll be able to take full advantage of the extra week of preparation and likely play, but those are two huge injuries when talking about assignments with guys like Hill and Kelce.

Tampa Bay gets to the quarterback a lot. They had 48 sacks and 116 QB hits in the regular season. The concern here is that guys like Devin White, who was second on the team in sacks, might be needed more in a coverage or spy capacity. It will be interesting to see how Bowles, who excels as a defensive coordinator, plays it. The Bucs were third in Pressure% and fifth in Blitz% per Pro-Football-Reference during the regular season.

Offensively, the recent emergence of Leonard Fournette is a fascinating development. The play calling is what could be the separator and if there is too much Fournette from Byron Leftwich. The Buccaneers ran on first down 236 times for just 3.9 yards per carry. It was a big deal against the Packers, as they had very little early-down success, but converted a bunch of third downs to move the chains and score points.

On second down, the Bucs ran 105 times and passed 232 times. They only ran 26 times on third down and threw it 157 times. This is a very predictable play distribution for the Buccaneers. With two weeks to prep for the game, you know an elite planner like Steve Spagnuolo will focus on this quite a bit.
<h3>Pick &amp; Analysis</h3>
One data point out of 18 or 19 may not be the best indicator of future performance, but it is really hard to look at the first meeting and not assume Kansas City does the exact same thing. The Chiefs left points on the field in that first meeting the red zone fumble and two short field goals.

The Buccaneers sustained some drives, but scored two touchdowns on drives of 75 and 73 yards in the fourth quarter when the game was all but decided. Maybe things go differently now and the Bucs have played really well since that Week 12 game. It still seems like Kansas City is the team to beat here and the -3, even at extra juice, seems like the side to take.

I’ll wait on the total and see if 57 comes around. While these are two great offensive teams and the yardage totals in the first meeting were very high, Spagnuolo and Bowles should both have excellent game plans here. I wouldn’t be shocked if we see a lower-scoring game. The Chiefs have struggled to score early in games and this one could be playing catch-up on the total throughout.
<h4>Pick: Kansas City -3</h4>

Super Bowl LV Free Pick & Preview: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

You know, Robert DeNiro got stiffed by the Motion Picture Academy. Al Pacino and Joe Pesci may cancel each other out. And Martin Scorsese? Well, he just ain't gettin' enough respect, 'ya know what I'm sayin'?

So you've got to wonder, will "The Irishman" get completely shut out at the Oscars on Sunday night? Maybe there should be a prop on that. There isn't. But we can tell you this much - at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a>, there isn't an over/under on how many Oscars it will win, perhaps since not much is expected.

Here are the prices on "The Irishman" to win the various categories:

Best Picture +9525
Martin Scorsese - Best Director +4975
Joe Pesci - Best Supporting Actor +2045
Al Pacino - Best Supporting Actor +4050
Best Cinematography +4075
Best Production Design +9525
Best Film Editing +1370
Best Visual Effects +582
Best Costume Design +6250
Best Adapted Screenplay +1470

* There is also a combo prop at BetAnySports - for either Pacino or Pesci to win Best Supporting Actor, the price is +1375.

That's a lot of nominations - ten in all. And those are a lot of longshot prices.

I'm a little surprised there are such long odds on Martin Scorsese (+4975) and I'll tell you why - "The Irishman" may wind up being his last "great" film (though I was not blown away by it) and there was an incredible amount of coordination that had to be done with the visual effects; i.e., those effects that made the principal actors like Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci look younger in scenes that flashed back in time. Mostly it took an amount of patience on his part that is probably very unusual for a director.

Apparently the computer-generated "de-aging" process was something that inflated the budget of this film to a figure that has been reported to be $159 million. And when you've got a movie that drew just $8 million in its limited box office run, that leaves Netflix, which bankrolled the whole thing, on the hook for a lot of dollars. I don't know why they just didn't save money by putting a lot of spackle on the actors and drape some gauze over the camera lens (a Warren Beatty trick, I'm told). I kid, I kid.

Can I confess to a sentimental favorite? Joe Pesci, who has been nominated twice before in Scorsese pictures (winning for "Goodfellas" but not for "Raging Bull") is from my neighborhood and was a friend of the family. He even used to cut my hair when I was a little kid (I'm not kidding). Despite whatever flaws "The Irishman" may have had, including whether the story was actually true or not, everyone agrees that his work as Scranton-based mob boss Russell Buffalino was brilliant. If there is an upset in the Supporting Actor category (where Brad Pitt is a -3380 favorite), maybe it's him. Pesci is priced at +2045 at BetAnySports.

DeNiro got stiffed altogether by the Academy, shut out of a nomination for Best Actor. His Golden Globe snub was a harbinger of things to come.

But if there's a category where "Irishman" fans might get some satisfaction, it's in Visual Effects. Lord knows they were expensive enough. And putting together the whole package was complicated to the point where I can't even explain how they did it, except to say that they had to have a three-camera rig and work on every frame, one at a time, to achieve what they wanted. And even then it wasn't 100% perfect.

Will there be an "A" for effort, though?

Officially, the nominees in this category are Pablo Helman, Leandro Estebecorena, Nelson Sepulveda-Fauser, and Stephane Grabli. The company principally responsible for the visual effects is Industrial Light &amp; Magic, through their "Flux" software.

Unfortunately, "The Irishman" didn't rate the favorite's designation in this category from BetAnySports. Here are the numbers:

1917 (-163)
Avengers:Endgame (+319)
The Lion King (+534)
THE IRISHMAN (+582)
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (+4750)

So there you have it - only fourth on that list. An uphill battle for certain.

And no respect.

Hey - you may be angered by all of this, but please don't do the same thing DeNiro's character did to Joey Gallo.

You know what I'm talkin' about.

Betting on the Oscars -- When it Comes to The Irishman, Do Whatcha Gotta Do

We’ve got another UFC Fight Night on tap this weekend as the MMA promotion returns to the Apex in Las Vegas. The premier event is a battle between Mackenzie Dern and Angela Hill as they both try to rise on the women’s side. Let’s take a look at that bout along with the odds at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports/">BetAnySports.eu</a> as well as two others that might offer some betting value.



<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-full"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bas/"><img src="https://www.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/betanysports.png" alt="betanysports" class="wp-image-705892"/></a></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mackenzie Dern vs. Angela Hill</h2>



Odds At BetAnySports.eu: Dern -190



The main event and most anticipated fight of the night will be the Mackenzie Dern and Angela Hill showdown. Dern won 11 out of her first 12 fights but is coming into this bout after losing two of her previous three. There’s no question that we’ve seen her reach peak performance when bringing opponents to the ground and taking it from there. Taking opponents down has been a struggle lately and it’s resulted in her relying upon her stand-up game instead. That hasn’t worked out as well.



As for Hill, she’s been an overall force in the strawweight division for some time now. Hill will likely prefer to keep Dern standing up and take advantage of her talents from there. We’ve also seen Hill take down Loopy Godinez and Emily Ducote to end off her 2022 year.



Dern is a mid-size favorite here as she’s expected to dictate the pace. However, it feels like there could be some value with Hill.



Pick: Hill via Decision



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Edmen Shahbazyan vs. Anthony Hernandez</h2>



Odds At BetAnySports.eu: Hernandez -300



Edmen Shahbazyan took a year off from fighting after he suffered three straight losses. Since his return, though, he was able to get a second-round stoppage against Dalcha Lungiambula in December. This fight can help him get some more momentum. Remember, he started his UFC career 4-0, so he’s trying to get back to that success.



Anthony Hernandez has lost two of his first three bouts but has won three straight since that moment. That difference in momentum between the two fighters is why Hernandez is a big favorite here.



Two of his recent wins were submission victories against difficult opponents. Don’t be surprised if he picks up another one in this spot.



Pick: Hernandez via Submission



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-andre-fialho-vs-joaquin-buckley">Andre Fialho vs. Joaquin Buckley</h2>



Odds At BetAnySports.eu: Buckley -240



Andre Fialho and Joaquin Buckley have the potential to be earn Fight of the Night honors. Fialho has gone the distance in his last four fights, winning two of them. However, those two losses happen to be his last two fights, so he’s in a bit of a slump.



Buckley, on the other hand, is going to be appearing in the welterweight division for the very first time. He’s lost the last two fights before this with one of them being a knockout loss to Chris Curtis in the middleweight division. Going into a different weight class for the first time makes this an interesting battle for him.



With how these fighters compete, there’s a chance we don’t see this one going the distance. Fialho is a very entertaining fighter and his fights don’t usually last long. That could be because he’s earning the win or a quick loss, though. He takes a whopping 6.22 strikes per minute, so that doesn’t seem like it will work well against a powerful bruiser like Buckley.



Buckley is probably going to come away with the win but the better bet is that this fight does not go the distances. Someone will find their way to a finish rather early as the two dish out and take plenty of damage right off the bat.



Pick: Fight Will Not Go The Distance
