Holy cow…what an afternoon.

Just when we had finished processing the shock of Seattle’s announcement that Pete Carrol would not return as head coach next season, the bomb dropped.

Nick Saban is retiring from his post at Alabama.

Goodness gracious, let’s hope we don’t see any Bill Belichick news today or the football coaching chasm might implode.

SportsBetting quickly set odds for both vacancies in the collegiate and NFL ranks. 

There are 22 names on the Seahawks list (although the last two are just for fun), led by former Seahawks defensive coordinator and the mastermind behind the Legion of Boom, Dan Quinn.

A whopping 36 candidates and their respective odds adorn the Alabama next coach list. 

Saban disciples Dan Lanning and Lane Kiffin have the best and third-best odds, respectively,  while former Alabama player and coach Dabo Swinney is second on the board.

Oh, and to get a Harbaugh mention in here it’s worth noting that his odds to leave the NCAA for the NFL continue to improve (NFL opened -150 last week).

The transfer portal had oddsmakers biting their nails until the very end before revealing the much-anticipated Heisman odds for next season. Now that the dust has settled and the transfer frenzy has come to a close, we have a juicy list of Heisman hopefuls and their odds of clinching the prize.

According to SportsBetting, a non-transfer player (Jalen Milroe) is leading the pack as the favorite, but it’s a quarterback’s world as the first 21 players on the list are all QBs. You’ll have to scroll down to the 50/1 mark to find non-QBs like Travis Hunter and Trevor Etienne.

The top three players with the best odds to win the trophy are quarterbacks returning to their teams from the current season (although Ewers could still declare). But, don’t overlook the two transfer portal stars, Dillon Gabriel and Will Howard, who round out the top five.

Oh, and did we mention that Ohio State’s odds of winning the national championship for next year just got a boost from +850 to +800 following Howard’s jaw-dropping transfer announcement? Let the games begin!

AI Sports Handicapping 

Sports betting has been a popular activity for decades. With the rise of technology, there has been a surge in the use of computer systems to analyze and predict the outcome of sporting events. This has led to the development of several betting tools, including power ratings, sports betting simulators, and computer betting systems.

Best Sports Handicapping Power Ratings

Power ratings are a useful tool for sports bettors as they provide a numerical value to each team or player. These ratings are calculated based on various factors, including past performance, injuries, and the strength of the opponent. This information can be used to determine which team or player is more likely to win a particular game or event.

Sports Betting Models and Simulators 

Sports betting simulators are another useful tool for sports bettors. These simulators use complex algorithms to simulate the outcome of a sporting event. This allows users to test different betting strategies and see how they would perform in different scenarios. This can be a helpful tool for bettors who want to try out new strategies without risking any real money.

Sports Gambling Systems That Win 

Computer betting systems are perhaps the most advanced tool for sports bettors. These systems use machine learning algorithms to analyze large amounts of data and predict the outcome of sporting events with a high degree of accuracy. While these systems can be expensive, they are often used by professional sports bettors who are looking for an edge over their competitors.

Who is the Best Sports Handicapper

In conclusion, the use of technology has revolutionized the world of sports betting. Power ratings, sports betting simulators, and computer betting systems are just a few of the tools available to sports bettors. While these tools can be helpful, it is important to remember that no system is foolproof and that there is always an element of risk involved in sports betting.

NFL betting prop trends are a great way to keep track of player performance and make informed decisions when placing bets. One popular prop bet involves passing yards, and there are several players to watch this year. Bet at Bovada

CJ Stroud is a quarterback for Houston Texans and has been performing well this season. He has gone over 10-3 passing yards so far, making him a good choice for those looking to bet on his performance.

Bryce Young, on the other hand, has gone under 10-4 passing yards this year. As the quarterback for Carolina, Young has shown promise but has not yet lived up to his full potential.

Jake Browning, a quarterback for the Bengals has gone over 5-0 passing yards this year. He has been a reliable choice for those betting on his performance.

Jordan Love, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has gone over 10-5 passing yards this year. He has shown promise in his limited playing time and could be a good choice for bettors.

Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has gone under 10-4 passing yards this year. This may surprise some, as Mahomes is known for his strong arm and ability to make big plays.

Finally, Kyler Murray, the quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, has gone under 20-12 passing yards in his career. While Murray is a talented player, this trend suggests that bettors may want to be cautious when betting on his passing yards.

Overall, keeping an eye on these prop bet trends can help bettors make informed decisions and increase their chances of success. OffshoreInsiders.com has all the NFL top bets.

As the year draws to a close, the excitement and anticipation surrounding NFL and college football is palpable. Fans are not only eagerly watching their favorite teams compete, but many are also participating in NFL and college bowl betting. The stakes are high, the competition is fierce, and the outcomes can be unpredictable. In this blog post, we will delve into the analysis of the biggest bets and splits in NFL and college bowl betting on December 23, 2023.

The Biggest Bets in Terms of Percentage of Wagers: Utah State

When it comes to the biggest bets in terms of percentage of wagers, Utah State is leading the pack. This means that a significant portion of the total bets placed are banking on Utah State. The team’s performance has evidently instilled confidence in bettors, with a substantial number of them placing their bets on Utah State. It’s interesting to see how these bets will play out as the competition progresses.

Biggest Bets Based on Percentage of Money: Las Vegas; Utah State Northwestern; Arkansas State OVER

On the other hand, when we look at the biggest bets based on the percentage of money, we see a different picture. The teams that have attracted the highest amount of money in bets are Las Vegas, Utah State Northwestern, and Arkansas State OVER. These teams have drawn the most financial backing, which could be indicative of a higher level of confidence from those placing larger bets. The unfolding of these bets will certainly add an extra layer of excitement to the games.

Biggest Splits: Teams with the Highest Percent of Cash Compared to Bets: Las Vegas, Duke UNDER

The biggest splits, i.e., the teams that have the highest percentage of cash compared to the number of bets, are Las Vegas and Duke UNDER. This means that while these teams may not have the most number of bets placed on them, the bets they do have are of a higher value. This could be a strategic move by bettors who believe in the potential of these teams. It also underscores the diversity and complexity of betting strategies in play.

In conclusion, NFL and college bowl betting present a dynamic and intriguing landscape. The betting patterns and strategies offer a unique perspective on the games and the teams.
