Sunday Night Football Dallas vs. LA Rams for week 1 NFL betting.
Odds: Dallas is -2 with a total of 51.5 at MyBookie NFL live lines, latest odds
Public betting percentages: Though 59 percent of tickets on Dallas, 60 percent of money on Rams. Many who studying contrarian believe this implies sharp bet on home underdogs. Even the 59 percent is fairly low for a public that adores road favorites.
Power ratings: MasseyRatings has Los Angeles winning outright 24-21.
Computer simulations ATS: One of our simulation models has the Rams covering 56 percent, very high for this software and one of the stronger bets of the week. In fact, they have LA winning outright 53 percent, so a bet on the moneyline is a good percentage play. However, the other top-shelf simulator has Dallas overing 57.3 percent.
Computer simulations OU: One model has the game going under 62 percent of simulations. Another model has 53.1 percent of simulations going under.
Against the spread trends: Rams 12-3 to NFC, 5-12 underdogs, 0-7-1 home underdogs.
Over-under trends: Series over 4-0. Rams over 7-3 underdogs

UTSA-Texas State OVER 57 at MYBookie where several high money, low-entry fee football betting contests are up.
With 33 years in the industry, to say the least I’ve developed more than my share of contacts. The leader of a very good syndicate that is probably the tops with “organic handicapping” told me this is their strongest bet of the young season so far. Why, Texas San Antonio will really up the tempo under new coach Jeff Traylor. Depth at WR is a strength for them. Texas State’s defense was lit up by SMU and showed little ability to pressure the QB. Sincere McCormick will keep the defense honest as he is one of the top RBs in the conference.
Texas State’s offense did seem to tire against SMU, but had overall success. Texas State’s offense is upgraded, UTSA’s will play at a faster tempo. One of our models has this game going over 55.7 percent of the time. Overacheiving defenses based on delta points allowed go over 243-205-8. Delta points allowed is how many points they allowed relative to the oddsmakers posted team total or implied total based on the odds and spread.
