Syracuse-Maryland, North Illinois-Utah, California-Washington Daily Wagers

Leave a comment

More betting previews for your daily wager from your grandmaster Joe Duffy and elite online bookmaker MyBookie. Syracuse versus Maryland is among the contests we preview. Maryland is -1.5 at Bovada, with a total of 57.5 a significant line move after Syracuse opened at -2.5 at Betonline, home of the opening line. The starting total was 58.

Fifty-six percent of bets and 59 percent of handle is on Maryland.

A win for the Maryland Terrapins last weekend was not totally unexpected, but it would certainly have been a bit of a relief after they closed out last season with 4 straight losses. Yes, it was a game against lowly Howard in the opening week, but a 79-0 win is nothing to be sneezed at, no matter who the competition is.

More details in link below

Onward to a preview of Northern Illinois vs. Utah. Utah is -21.5 and 44.5 at MyBookie. This opened at Utah -23 and 43.5. Sixty-three percent of bets are on Utah, but 53 percent of the money is on NIU.

S you can see by the point spread for this one, this is a game that is going to be a bit of an uphill battle for the Huskies. They are, though, coming off a 24-10 win over Illinois State, a game that they started as a 7-point favorite. If you are looking to wager a little money on the Huskies this weekend, it may well be against the spread where your best betting opportunities exist.
Northern Illinois are 8-3 SU, but the strength of opposition here makes a straight win seem unlikely. The Huskies have been a very solid bet away from home, covering the spread in 4 of their last 5 road games. They are also a healthy 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played in Week 2. In September games, 4 of the last 5 have gone UNDER for the Huskies.

Saturday, nine Wise Guys, three Majors led by Non-Power 5 Interconference Total of the Year and Non-Conference Underdog of the Year.Sunday,NFL three Wise Guys. This is very rare for week 1, but the portfolio is that strong (two side, one total) and Major. Get the picks now   

A big battle in the Pac-12 rages on as California takes on Washington. Washington is -13.5 with a total of 43.5. The public likes the favorite as usual with 72 percent of bets and 60 percent of cash on the Huskies. The game opened at -12.5 and 44.5.

Cal won their regular season opener by getting past he UC Davis Aggies 27-13 last weekend after largely struggling the entire first half. After going into the break up, just 13 on UC Davis, the Bears put two touchdowns on the board in the second half while shutting down the Aggies to the tune of just one, second half field goal. Quarterback Chase Garbers passed for 238 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, but it was running back Christopher Brown’s big day that lifted the bears to victory by rushing for a career-high 197 yards and one score on 36 carries.
“We knew Chris would get the ball a lot,” Bears coach Justin Wilcox said. “That’s what we expect of him. He’s a big, physical guy and this is his type of game. Give it to him and let him break tackles. Probably more touches and more yards than he had all last year. He’s been preparing for this.”

NFL Week 1 Parlays, ATS, SU, and Totals Picks

Leave a comment

Bet NFL parlays, moneylines, totals, or picks against the point spread? This article is everything gamblers must know to exploit week 1 betting odds. MyBookie previews parlay picks.

Take this for what it’s worth but ESPN simulated the entire 2019 season 20,000 times using the ESPN Football Power Index and it came out with a Saints-Chargers Super Bowl, with New Orleans winning the title. I actually agree with that Super Bowl matchup but think the Chargers will win it as long as they get holdout running back Melvin Gordon at some point this season.

Entire article below

There is also substantial money to be made with totals NFL picks. Here are some.

The Bills and Jets topped the 50-point plateau in both of their regular season meetings last season to make it three straight meetings where they’ve topped the half-century mark in combined points. Not only that, but Buffalo scored at least 24 points in all four of their preseason contests (4-0 O/U) and I don’t think we’re going to see an elite defensive effort out of either team in this AFC East divisional rivalry.
The Over is 6-1 in the Jets’ last seven home games and the Over is 7-2 in the last nine meetings between these two rivals when they square off in the Big Apple. Again, I wouldn’t expect to see any elite defense being played in this one while it easily tops the 40-point total.

In an office pool where you pick straight up winners? Like betting money lines at MyBookie? Here is what gamblers must know for picking outright winners in week 1.

The Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers will all be looking to take care of business in their respective 2019 regular season and home openers when they take to the gridiron this coming weekend. If you’re an NFL betting aficionado that loves taking the guesswork out of often arduous ATS wagers by making simple SU Moneyline wagers more often than not, then you’ve come to the right place as I offer up a trio of expert SU picks on three intriguing Week 1 openers.
With that said, let’s get down to business.

Rams vs. Panthers NFL Week 1 Winning Picks

Leave a comment

It’s here, NFL week 1 betting odds and picks. Among the previews is the Rams vs. Panthers. Quick trivia question. What city do the Rams play in? Well it is tough to keep track of.

The Rams are anywhere from -2.5 to -3 with varying juice such as at Bovada The Rams are backed by 75 percent of bettors, yet Carolina by 55 percent of money. That is a pretty big discrepancy by NFL standards. Sixty-five percent of the bets and 55 percent of the money is on the under. The line opened at LA -3 -101 and 51.

The Rams had a great 2018. It culminated in a 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 53. But, that shouldn’t impede them from showing up big against the Panthers in Week 1.
Los Angeles’ real gift is in Sean McVeigh’s play-calling. McVeigh learned a lot after the Super Bowl loss. He even admitted as much. Even if RB Todd Gurley isn’t 100%, McVeigh will open things up with passes to the Rams’ running backs. On defense, no team has a better player than Aaron Donald. Rams can win and cover.

Complete preview below

The Rams are 5-13 in week 1, while Carolina is 1-5 grass. Carolina is 5-0 home in the series.

Big week already up from the Grandmaster! Here. We. Go. NFL, we enter the regular season off another great preseason. Yep 10-2 NFL. We are 12-6 overall in football.
