ATLANTA (SMITH-SHAWVER -146) Cincinnati (Weaver)
Away favorites to teams with at least an eight-game winning streak are 30-12 for +15.60 units and a 29.3 ROI. It also crushes on the runline. The ROI is even better at -130 or more. Luke Weaver has been atrocious for the Reds with a 10.12 ERA last three starts and 2.174 WHIP. A viral system says to go with non-divisional away favorites. We’ve excluded Saturdays as it is the best day for home teams. Since 2018 away interdivisional favorites are up 143.54 units.

All units won quoted on systems are based on one unit per bet.
MLB
Major
OAKLAND (WALDICHUK +1.5 -105) Cleveland (Civale)
Yes, play stands with new Oakland pitcher.
One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found them covering at a rate of 60 percent compared to the implied probability of the line at 51.22 percent making this great value.
SAN FRANCISCO (DESCLAFANI -110) San Diego (Lugo)
Taking advantage of oddsmaker same series adjustments is up almost 800 units. As is the case with many of our best systems, we take the oddsmakers knowledge and weaponize it against them. San Francisco wins an impressive 62 percent of simulations on our top computer model.
NY Yankees-Seattle UNDER 7 (Cole-Kirby)
When the total is much less than the season to date average of at least one of the teams, it goes under at a rate of 6162-5253-595.
NY Mets-Houston UNDER 7.5 (Verlander-Valdez)
When the total is much less than the season to date average of at least one of the teams, it goes under at a rate of 6162-5253-595.
Last year’s Super Bowl opponents the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are virtual co-favorites to win Super Bowl LVIII. The Chiefs are +600 to repeat, while the Eagles are +650. Last year’s favorite Buffalo is next at +900 or 9-1 tied with the 49ers and their deep QB depth chart.
My pick CINCINNATI +1200: Cincinnati overcame the predictable Super Bowl hangover from the previous season, winning eight straight to end the regular season. Clearly Joe Burrow has proven he is a big-time player in both college and the NFL. Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd give the franchise signal caller some serious weapons. They are strong enough on defense. Cincy wins in February.
The first major domino of the NBA offseason fell last night as Bradley Beal was traded to the Phoenix Suns.
Of course, that move had an impact on next year’s championship odds, as well as “next team” odds for all of the other players reportedly on the trading block.
SportsBetting has updated its trade odds for Damian Lillard, DeAndre Ayton, Karl-Anthony Towns, Trae Young, Zach LaVine and Zion Williamson, where the Suns have been removed from some of the players’ candidates.
The Suns’ title odds for next year moved from +900 to +700 immediately after the Beal news broke. This morning, Phoenix has moved even further up the board and now has +650 odds.
Oddsmakers deem the college football national championship race will be more competitive than in recent seasons thanks to the return to eminence of historic powers. Two conferences, the SEC and Big Ten possess the top four spots. Two-time defending national champion Georgia is the favorite at +250, followed by conference rival Alabama at +550. Ohio State, who took Georgia down to the final play in the national semi-finals is next at +700. The team that has defeated the Buckeyes in consecutive seasons, Michigan is next at +900.
Bovada declares USC is back thanks to the Oklahoma twosome of coach Lincoln Riley and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. The Trojans also made a splash by adding quarterback whisperer Kliff Kingsbury as their new QB coach. Southern Cal is next at +1200. While Clemson is no longer the annual virtual co-favorites with Alabama, they are strong contenders at +1800.
Will Brian Kelly become the fourth straight LSU coach to win a natty? The Tigers are +1600 to do so this season. Traditional powers Texas, Tennessee, Florida State, and Penn State all are returning to relevance with odds at 20-1 or less.
Texas A&M +4500: Texas A&M has had some great recruiting years but was a total bust last year. Jimbo Fisher won a national title at Florida State and brought in long-time coach Bobby Petrino to jumpstart the offense. Petrino is a terrible human being, but he knows how to coach. Conner Weigman is a strong QB. Look for Fisher’s recruiting to finally pay dividends.
Wisconsin +5500: Luke Fickell has been atop of a lot of coaching wish lists the past two years and he landed in Madison. He dominated the transfer portal, adding depth on both sides of the ball. The defense is top shelf, the offense will be both more aggressive and talented.
