New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics Betting Pick & Prediction 4/11/24

<p>The final week of the NFL 2022 preseason continues on Friday, August 26, when we have two meetings, including this NFC clash, so make sure you check out the best Seahawks vs. Cowboys betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Seattle is looking for the first preseason win when it faces Dallas at AT&amp;T Stadium. The Seahawks are -7 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 37.5 points. These NFC rivals haven’t met since 2020.</p>



<p><strong>Drew Lock has a chance to secure the starting job</strong></p>



<p>The Seattle Seahawks are hoping to record their first win of the preseason after losing the opening two games to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears, allowing even 59 points in the process. In the most recent 27-11 loss to the Bears, the Seahawks totaled more yards (324-277) but scored just one touchdown and it was in garbage time, late in the fourth quarter.</p>



<p>Geno Smith, who is battling Drew Lock for the No. 1 quarterback job in Seattle, didn’t have the best of times against Chicago. He completed ten of 18 passes for 112 yards and sustained a knee injury along the way, so it’s up to Lock to win this battle with a strong showing in Dallas. Drew was unavailable against the Bears after testing positive for COVID-19, and now will get his opportunity.</p>



<p><strong>Cowboys’ offense is struggling in the preseason</strong></p>



<p>The Dallas Cowboys failed to score a passing touchdown in the first two games of the preseason, which is shocking, considering they beat the Los Angeles Chargers 32-18 on the road in the most recent game. They can thank that to their special teams, particularly KaVontae Turpin, who registered a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and then an 86-yard punt return. Also, Dallas scored two rushing TDs through Rico Dowdle and Malik Davis. That was the first Dallas preseason win since 2019.</p>



<p>Dak Prescott is probably not going to feature on Friday, so Will Grier and Cooper Rush will continue their race for the backup QB job. They combined for only 130 passing yards in a win over the Chargers but will get an opportunity to do damage against Seattle, who allowed five scoring passes through the first two weeks.</p>



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



<p><strong>Seattle:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-0 ATS in the last four H2H meetings</li></ul>



<p><strong>Dallas:</strong></p>



<p>N/A</p>



<p><strong>Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>With Prescott not involved and the poor form of both Will Grier and Cooper Rush, we could see a lot of running from the Cowboys. Although they were successful on the ground, they are facing Seattle’s run defense that allowed just one touchdown in August. Drew Lock will make a difference here and should throw at least a touchdown or two as he will have some of his starting receivers early in the game. The Cowboys’ offense will struggle here because its passing doesn’t work. Still, they should try and hurt the visitors through the air as the Seahawks’ secondary didn’t show a lot of quality thus far. I am going with the visitors to cover, though.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Seahawks at -6.5 (-125)</p>



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



<p>I explained Dallas’ offensive struggles, but luckily for them, Seattle’s defense is quite penetrable and lenient, so the Cowboys will have a chance to score multiple touchdowns. I expect to see more scoring plays from the Seahawks because Drew Lock can only do better than Geno Smith, following Smith’s latest showing against the Bears. Over is 5-1 in the Seahawks’ last six games overall, Over is 4-1 in the Seahawks’ previous five vs. NFC opponents, while Over is 13-6 in Dallas’ last 19 home games.<strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 37.5 points (-110)</p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

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.

It has been said by many of the "experts" that this is a "three-man NBA Draft." What that means is that there are three players who are head and shoulders above all others. The experts maybe know and maybe don't - many years ago I ran an NBA Draft website that got quite a bit of attention, particularly from player agents - and really, what the hell did I know?

At any rate, <a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a>has determined that there is indeed a "Big Three" because they are the only ones posted in their prop for the #1 pick.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are "on the clock," so to speak. What is unique about this draft is that there is no slam dunk #1, so we might not know until the announcement is actually made on Wednesday night.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>To Be 1st Overall Pick</strong></span></h3>
<h4><strong>Anthony Edwards -130</strong>
<strong>LaMelo Ball +100</strong>
<strong>James Wiseman +900</strong></h4>
I have kind of resigned myself to the idea that Anthony Edwards - the freshman out of Georgia - is going to be the #1 pick. And there are definitely some things in his favor. He can be that "combo" guard who comes in and can guard a couple of positions and maybe even a third, if and when this team goes small.

He can score in a variety of ways. And the scouts testify as to his physical strength, so that he can be assertive in terms of getting his shot.

There is little doubt in my mind that he can score 20 points a game in the NBA.

But let's go back to the part about him guarding multiple positions - which is very important when you have to deal with the pick-and-roll and other ways opponents make you switch in the NBA. That makes the assumption that he has an aptitude toward defense, and frankly, that's not an assumption that can't freely be made. Edwards is not known to be a defender, so there is going to be a big learning curve with that.

He is not a real good free throw shooter either, and that is going to be a handicap for him as he attempts to be primarily an offensive player in the NBA.

Here is another item that would worry me if I was a T-Wolves fan, and this is no small thing. In his only season at Georgia, he had nice numbers, tallying more than 19 points a game, but his team was not headed to the NCAA Tournament. In fact, at 16-16 and with a likely loss to Florida on deck in the SEC Tournament when everything got called off, the Bulldogs weren't likely to go to the NIT or the CBI either.

Now let me remind you that when these NBA teams take the floor, the idea, presumably, is to win. So you are drafting with that in mind, right? And ideally, the guy you make the #1 overall pick is hopefully going to be a transformative figure of sorts, correct? You would expect that someone who was good enough to be the top pick in the draft could have elevated his team at the college level to a winning record.

In Edwards' case, that didn't happen. And rightly or wrongly, it makes me think a little about Markeille Fultz, who led a sub-.500 team at Washington.

But the Wolves have a hole to fill at the "big guard" spot, and Edwards might be a nice addition to your fantasy team.

As for LaMelo Ball, well, he's got a suspect outside shot, which he shoots just like his brother Lonzo, so you'd have that to deal with. And while he has registered more than his share of steals, he is often caught looking on the defensive end.

And there's the matter of his father, who has proven a pain of the ass in the recent past.

What is the T-Wolves' priority? Is it to put together some team chemistry, or to be part of LaMelo's reality show (catch it on Facebook Watch)?

The tough thing about James Wiseman is that he had only three games of college basketball because of eligibility issues. Of course, that's three more than LaMelo has. But leave that aside for a minute.

From what I've seen of Wiseman, he is a very athletic seven-footer. And he may be in a position to contribute much sooner on the defensive end. He can even shoot a little. And I'm not sure that Karl-Anthony Towns wants to be restricted to playing center, so this may relieve him of that.

And having those two alongside each other would be awkward for many opponents to deal with. Sam Mitchell, a long-time fan favorite who has been both a player and a coach for the Minnesota franchise, is an advocate for drafting Wiseman, because it would force opposing teams to "play big" against them, and fewer and fewer teams are all that comfortable doing it. With Wiseman's ability to get up and down the floor, that is suddenly a matchup problem for any foe.

If Timberwolves' management is thinking in any way like Mitchell, you might stand a chance for a pretty good payoff on this prop.

NBA Draft Props -- Who Will - And Should - Go First Overall?

<p>Most sports fans are currently focused on the college football season or the NFL, but it’s not too early to start thinking about college basketball.</p>



<p>Teams across the nation have already started practicing, and those programs will begin to play exhibition games and scrimmages soon.</p>



<p>The betting odds have already been set at <a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a> for winning the national title, and that’s a bit that is always an option. While there are some good arguments about what teams are the best in 2023-24, you can also debate on conference pride.</p>



<p>With that in mind, here is a look at the top five college basketball conferences heading into 2023-24.</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/BetOnline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet on the Kansas Jayhawks to win the National Championship at +900 over at BetOnline!</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sec">SEC</h2>



<p>The SEC tends to go as the Kentucky Wildcats go, even though Alabama and Arkansas have been terrific of late. Kentucky is at +1000 at BetOnline to win the National Championship this year, and they are good enough to keep this league in the conversation all season long.</p>



<p>The problem with the SEC at times is that some schools are too focused on football, and the fan bases tend to forget about basketball. While that doesn’t really impact the play on the floor, it does lower the expectations or excitement for this league.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-big-east">Big East</h2>



<p>The Big East Conference should simply get more respect than it does because there is great basketball played in the league every single year. The UConn Huskies just won the national championship out of this conference, and other programs have had recent success as well.</p>



<p>While the Big East doesn’t always have a ton of star power when it comes to players or teams, these teams just play a terrific brand of basketball every single year. You could actually make the case for the Big East to be higher on the list, but it’s a league that does have some down years at times.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-acc">ACC</h2>



<p>When it comes to the ACC, Duke, and North Carolina are the two programs that seem to carry the banner for the league each season. Duke is at +1200 to win the national championship this year, and North Carolina isn’t far behind at +3300.</p>



<p>You can make the case that there are some bad teams in the ACC that should impact this ranking a bit, but it’s hard to argue with those two programs at the top. Teams from the ACC also tend to do well in March Madness, and the league gets bonus points for that.</p>



<p><a href="/s/BetOnline">Think Duke will win the National Championship this season? You can get them at +900 over at BetOnline!</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-big-ten">Big Ten</h2>



<p>The Big Ten Conference continues to put 9-10 teams in the NCAA Tournament every single year, but those teams don’t tend to have any success. Just last year, Purdue was a number 1 seed and was bounced in the first round of March Madness.</p>



<p>Purdue is going to be just as good this season, and teams like Michigan State and Illinois are also going to be in the mix. The reason that the Big Ten Conference is the second-best in the country is for the simple fact that about eight teams could end up going on a deep run in March.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-big-12">Big 12</h2>



<p>If you have been paying attention to college basketball over the last ten years, then you shouldn’t be surprised with this top pick. Not only is the Big 12 Conference extremely deep, but teams from this league also tend to perform well in the NCAA Tournament.</p>



<p>The Kansas Jayhawks are the current betting favorites to win the National Championship at +900 at BetOnline, but they might not even win their own league. Teams like Texas and Kansas State are going to be loaded again this season, and Houston is now also a member of this conference.</p>



<p>You can make a case for other conferences to be in positions 2-5, but the Big 12 Conference is clearly at the top.</p>

<p>Uriah Hall and Sean Strickland may not carry the weight as Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane, literally and figuratively, but this week’s UFC on ESPN 28 card has the chance to be a good lead-in to the next big pay-per-view card coming up on August 7.</p>



<p>Before we get to that point, we have this week’s UFC Vegas 33 card at the Apex. There are 13 fights scheduled for this card with that Hall vs. Strickland main event. Coming off of an outstanding card with a great main event and some questionable judging, we’ll have to see what the July 31 card has in store for us.</p>



<p>To do that, we’ll use the odds from <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a></strong> to break down the 13 matches on the card this weekend and spend a little extra time on the main card fights.</p>

<h3><strong><u>Phil Rowe (+128) vs. Orion Cosce (-148); Total: 1.5 (-180/150)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Phil Rowe lost his first fight under contract to Gabe Green back in February. He was a Dana White Contender Series winner over Leon Shahbazyan in August 2019, but it took a while for his first fight. That came at UFC 258. He’s now the opener of this card against Orion Cosce, who has been waiting for his first contract fight after beating Matt Dixon on DWCS this past August.</p>



<p>Cosce’s win pushed his record out to 7-0. He’s giving up a lot of size here, but seems to be the better striker. Rowe has fought at higher levels and has a better ground game. It’s a tough fight to call.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Trevin Jones (+135) vs. Ronnie Lawrence (-155); Total: 2.5 (-115/-115)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Trevin Jones slots in as a late replacement for John Castaneda in this one. Jones is technically 2-0 in UFC, but his win over Timur Valiev was eradicated because of a positive pot test. Jones faces Ronnie Lawrence here, as Lawrence looks to improve to 8-1 in his career. His lone loss came in Bellator back in 2016 and he was away from MMA for a while after that.</p>



<p>Lawrence returned in February 2019 and just scored his first UFC contract win back in February. Jones got his first official one the first week of March. This fight would seem to be a closer call than the line indicates, as Jones has gotten better with age.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Jinh Yu Frey (+120) vs. Ashley Yoder (-140); Total: 2.5 (-400/300)</u></strong></h3>



<p>The judges made a lot of questionable decisions last week, but they may be called upon here with heavy over juice in the fight between Jinh Yu Frey and Ashley Yoder. Frey, a former champ in Invicta, is just 1-2 in her three UFC fights. Yoder has lost three of her last four, but at least they’ve all been against UFC competition.</p>



<p>With a decision likely in the smaller Octagon, Yoder’s big size edge might be the difference here. Neither fighter has fared well lately, so that seems like about all we can go on for this one.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Danny Chavez (-103) vs. Kai Kamaka III (-117); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Danny Chavez is 1-1 in his two UFC fights to this point, as he topped TJ Brown and lost to Jared Gordon. Kai Kamaka III is 1-2, with losses in each of his last two fights, including one to Brown as a common opponent. The two losses for Kamaka come on the heels of a six-fight winning streak that included stops in Bellator and LFA.</p>



<p>Chaves had won four in a row. Neither guy fought great competition on the way up the ranks and this fight does seem as even as the line suggests. Neither guy has a lot of paths to victory either. This is a tough fight to find an edge.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Chris Gruetzemacher (+255) vs. Rafa Garcia (-305); Total: 2.5 (-140/110)</u></strong></h3>



<p>This is a big fight for 35-year-old Chris Gruetzemacher. He is just 1-3 in his last four UFC fights, including a loss in October to Alexander Hernandez. It was his first fight since April 2018. Maybe he’ll be in a better spot with a shorter turnaround here against Rafa Garcia, but the heavy line suggests that he won’t be.</p>



<p>The 26-year-old Garcia was one of several recent Combate Americas fighters to head to the UFC. He lost his debut fight to Nasrat Haqparast by unanimous decision in March, but it came with a 13-month layoff. He should be in better shape here, making him a solid money line parlay piece.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Collin Anglin (+110) vs. Melsik Baghdasaryan (-130); Total: 2.5 (-140/110)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Collin Anglin was impressive enough in his Dana White Contender Series win back on September 15 to get a crack here against Melsik Baghdasaryan, a 29-year-old Armenian who fought a couple weeks prior in his own Contender Series match. That win was the first for Baghdasaryan to not come via knockout, as he needed to full 15 minutes with Dennis Buzukja.</p>



<p>This is a very interesting fight because we have two 5-foot-9 knockout artists in the smaller UFC Octagon at the Apex. The under 2.5 at plus money is screaming for a bet here, given that both guys had finished their previous four fights by KO/TKO because tightening up a bit on the Contender Series. With contracts in hand, we should see some more aggressiveness.</p>



<h3><strong><u>Wu Yanan (+205) vs. Nicco Montano (-240); Total: 2.5 (-300/240)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Wu Yanan came to the UFC with quite a pedigree and a lot of promise. She also had a record of 10-2. She has lost three of her four UFC fights and was badly outclassed by Joselyne Edwards last time out. She’ll try her luck with Nicco Montano here. Montano has not been able to stay healthy. The TUF 26 winner has only fought once since that December 1, 2017 match. It was a loss to Julianna Pena.</p>



<p>This is a big price to put on Montano, who has been suspended for a banned substance, hospitalized after a weight cut, injured, and has had travel issues. It has been a litany of things for Montano. As much as Yanan has struggled, how could you lay the -240 here with the odyssey that has been Montano’s UFC career?</p>



<h3><strong><u>Jason Witt (+235) vs. Bryan Barberena (-275); Total: 2.5 (140/-170)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Jason Witt will try to climb to even in his UFC career with the opener on the main card against Bryan Barberena. Witt is 1-2 after losses to Takashi Sato and Marcus Semelsberger. His lone win came back on Halloween over Cole Williams. The 34-year-old Witt is on the last fight of his contract and his two losses have been by knockout in 66 combined seconds.</p>



<p>He’ll need to show something here as a big underdog to Barberena. Barberena has not faired well recently either, as he is just 2-3 in his last five fights and beat a nobody in late replacement Anthony Ivy last time out. It took him the full three minutes to do it as well. Neither one of these guys seems to be worthy of your money, but Barberena is the pick.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Bryan Barberena</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Zarrukh Adashev (+118) vs. Ryan Benoit (-138); Total: 2.5 (-200/160)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Zarrukh Adashev is 0-2 in UFC after losses to Tyson Nam and Su Mudaerji. The 28-year-old native of Uzbekistan takes on Ryan Benoit here in search of his first UFC victory. The line is pretty close, as Benoit was originally supposed to fight Adashev back at UFC 262, but Benoit had major issues with the weight cut and was taken off the card.</p>



<p>He even came in three pounds overweight for that fight. Benoit had lost two in a row and three of four prior to that bout getting canceled. Now he hasn’t fought in over a year. The health and state of Benoit seems to be a major question with a similar weight cut here. Adashev hasn’t been great in the UFC, but he has to be the pick here.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Zarrukh Adashev</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Niklas Stolze (+170) vs. Jared Gooden (-200)</u></strong></h3>



<p>A late switcheroo gave us this fight, as Mounir Lazzez could not secure a visa to fight Niklas Stolze. It will be Jared Gooden that takes the fight on short notice and serves as the favorite. Stolze lost his UFC debut to Ramazan Emeev just over a year ago. Gooden comes in having lost both of his UFC fights. This seems like a pretty optimistic line for a guy that has not fought good competition throughout his career.</p>



<p>Gooden has lost to Alan Jouban and Abubakar Nurmagomedov. Stolze isn’t exactly experienced at the top levels either. There is no major size advantage. There is only one combined stoppage loss between the two. It is hard to see an edge in this fight, other than to say that Stolze was at least preparing for one.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Niklas Stolze</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Gloria de Paula (+155) vs. Cheyanne Buys (-180); Total: 2.5 (-350/275)</u></strong></h3>



<p>Gloria de Paula lost to Jinh Yu Frey back in March in her first contract fight. It was her third career unanimous decision loss. With this one looking to go to a decision, impressing the judges will be important. Cheyanne Buys has gone 4-2 in her decision matchups, with her most recent result a loss to Montserrat Conejo. That was her first contract fight as well.</p>



<p>These two 26-year-olds have a big opportunity here. Buys, who at least had a stop in LFA, seems to have fought better competition on her way up. Neither fighter was aggressive in those recent losses. As crazy as this line is, it looks like the over 2.5 at -350 is the play here. Parlay it with Rafa Garcia on the undercard to cut down the vig a bit.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Over 2.5</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Rani Yahya (+109) vs. Kyung Ho Kang (-129); Total: 2.5 (-140/110)</u></strong></h3>



<p>You probably can’t go wrong with trying Rani Yahya by submission in this fight. Yahya is 27-10-1 in his career and has 21 wins by submission. He has never recorded a knockout and probably won’t start now. Submission is the preferred method of victory for both guys, as Kyung Ho Kang has 11 wins by sub in his career out of 17 victories.</p>



<p>We haven’t seen Kang since December 21, 2019 when he beat Liu Pingyuan for his second straight split-decision triumph. Yahya has fought twice since with a win and a draw. For all of the submission wins that these two have accumulated, they’ve each only lost by submission once. That has to bring the over 2.5 into play.</p>



<h4><strong>Pick: Over 2.5</strong></h4>



<h3><strong><u>Uriah Hall (+183) vs. Sean Strickland (-213); Total: 3.5 (-115/-115)</u></strong></h3>



<p>The resurgence of Uriah Hall may come to an end here against Sean Strickland. At least that’s what the odds say. Hall has won four in a row, though his most recent fight will be remembered more for the devastating knee injury suffered by Chris Weidman. We don’t know what would have happened the rest of the way, but Hall had won his three previous fights as well.</p>



<p>Sean Strickland, who checks in at 23-3 here, rides his own four-fight winning streak into this bout. The 30-year-old Strickland has a few years on the 36-year-old Hall, who is coming back in four months from that Weidman fight. He can do that because of the circumstances, but this is the first time since 2018 that Hall has fought twice in a year.</p>



<p>Strickland went the full 15 with Krzysztof Jotko on May 1 and won that fight by unanimous decision. This is his fight to lose, especially with the championship rounds in play.</p>
