New England Patriots at New York Jets Betting Preview For Thursday Night Football Picks

Game Details:

  • Line: Jets -6, Over/Under 38.5 at MYBookie  
  • Moneyline: Jets -260, Patriots +230
  • Opening Line: Jets -7.5, O/U 42; Moneyline: Jets -360
  • Betting Percentages: 51% of bets, but only 36% of the money is on the Patriots, signaling possible sharp money on the Jets.
  • Total Betting: 70% of bets and 52% of the handle are on the Over. out the review of MyBookie

The Jets and Patriots are set to face off in a divisional matchup, with both teams trying to establish dominance in the AFC East. The line has moved in favor of the Patriots since the opening, suggesting some market sentiment shifting toward New England, despite many bettors backing the Jets.

Sharp Money on Jets?

The discrepancy between bets and money is telling. While 51% of bets are on the Patriots, only 36% of the money follows suit, hinting that sharp bettors could be backing the Jets. This is often a key signal when analyzing line movements, especially when public money favors an underdog.

Patriots End Historic Streak as Underdogs

For the first time in 24 matchups, the Patriots enter this game as underdogs. New England has been the favorite in this series for a remarkable stretch, but the tide has turned. The market now seems to undervalue the Patriots, particularly with Jerod Mayo stepping in and injecting some fresh energy.

Patriots Undervalued with Better Head Coach Than Last Season

Jerod Mayo’s impact has given the Patriots a new spark, making them potentially undervalued in this matchup. Conversely, Bill Belichick’s record without Tom Brady is less impressive, winning just 45% of games. The “honeymoon period” under Mayo could give New England a surprise edge.

Key Computer Program Predictions:

  • BettingPros: Jets -6.8, 38
  • Massey: Patriots winning 20-17
  • Sportsline: Jets winning 22-13; under covering 61% of the time; Jets 56% win probability
  • BetQL: Jets winning 25-16
  • StatSharp: Patriots winning 16-15

These predictions are a mixed bag, with some simulations favoring the Jets and others siding with the Patriots. The total is another factor to watch, as the under seems to have strong support across various models.

Trends to Watch:

  • Patriots’ Dominance in Series: New England has owned this rivalry, going 15-1 straight up (SU) and 11-5 against the spread (ATS) over the last 16 matchups. They have won 8 straight on the road against the Jets and are 5-1 ATS in the NY metro area.
  • Robert Saleh’s September Struggles: Saleh is 1-10 versus the first-half line in September games, being outscored 14.3-5.4 in that period. His teams have dropped 6 straight ATS in the first half in September.
  • Under Trends: Both teams have leaned heavily toward the under in recent games:
    • Patriots: 5 straight unders and 0-5 ATS following non-conference games.
    • Jets: Saleh’s teams are 5-0 to the under in September road games, and the Jets are 11-6 to the under in their last 17.
    • Fourth Quarter Unders: Both teams have been under teams in fourth-quarter scoring, with the Patriots going under in 12 of their last 17 games and the Jets in 11 of 17.

Jets Moneyline and Betting ROI

The Jets are 10-10 straight up (SU) but have been profitable, up 3.1 units with a 14% return on investment (ROI). However, they are just 1-6 ATS as favorites recently and 3-4 SU in such games.

Betting Systems Favor the Patriots

Several betting systems support taking the Patriots as underdogs:

  • Short-term system: Dogs of 6 or more points are 8-0 ATS this season.
  • Divisional System: Betting against divisional home favorites with a -4 or worse point margin from the previous season has hit at 46-18, favoring the Patriots.

Player Prop Bets to Target:

  1. Jacoby Brissett (NE) OVER 17 completions:
    • Some simulators predict Brissett with up to 30 completions. He is likely to rely on short, safe passes, boosting his completion numbers. Another simulation has him at 18.9 completions, still favoring the over.
  2. Antonio Gibson (NE) UNDER 1.5 receptions:
    • This is a best bet from one of the top simulators, with the expectation that Gibson won’t see many targets in the passing game.
  3. Breece Hall (NYJ) OVER 30.5 receiving yards:
    • The Patriots have a strong run defense but are more vulnerable against the pass, making Hall a key safety valve for the Jets. Expect him to play a big role in the passing game.
  4. Will McDonald (NYJ) OVER 0.5 sacks:
    • The Patriots are dealing with injuries on their offensive line, giving McDonald a prime opportunity to make an impact.
  5. Garrett Wilson (NYJ) OVER 64.5 receiving yards:
    • Aaron Rodgers has a history of favoring his top targets, and Wilson is expected to see plenty of attention. Rodgers’ comfort level with his star receiver should result in Wilson racking up yardage.

Injury Report:

  • Jets LB C.J. Mosley: Questionable. If Mosley can’t play, the Patriots will likely lean on their running game even more.
  • Patriots LB Ja’Whaun Bentley: Out for the season, which is a significant blow to New England’s defense.

Conclusion:

This matchup between the Patriots and Jets has plenty of interesting angles. The Patriots have historically dominated this series, but the betting market and sharps seem to favor the Jets. With several betting systems supporting the underdog Patriots, this could be a game where the Pats cover the spread, even if the Jets manage to win outright. Player props offer additional value, especially on short completions and receiving yards for both teams.

Miami Dolphins Expert Season Preview From Grandmaster Handicapper

Leave a comment

The Miami Dolphins are a team encumbered in averageness. However, with a season win total of 4.5 to 5 with varying juice, a mediocre season is all they need to put the season total over at Bovada.  

A Pac-12 QB, drafted high, thrown to the wolves, and was baptized by fire in his rookie season. But enough about Jared Goff. The Miami Dolphins have made one of the significant overlooked QB upgrades in recent time. Good riddance to overrated stiff Ryan Tannehill and give a warm welcome to Josh Rosen, the breakout QB of 2019.

Conflicting rooting concerns are a nonstarter for me, so I abandoned fantasy sports decades ago. However, Rosen would be elevated on any intelligent projection of later round heists. The Arizona Cardinals castoff has a decent group of wideouts to heave to led by speedy Kenny Stills, a robust deep threat, plus Devante Parker. Yes, the latter is an underachiever. But with the foreseen enhancement at QB, this could be the season his production finally matches his ability. Albert Wilson is a solid talent bouncing back from injury.

I concur with the mania of electing coaches with offensive-oriented minds as the head man. But, my unapparelled achievements as a handicapper is in no small part to the fact I zig while everyone is zagging. Thus, I believe the counterintuitive procedure of hiring defensive coach Brian Flores to man the sidelines could shell out massive dividends.

Either way, the fact that former head coach’s Adam Gase’s falsely perceived genius was because Jay Cutler was less pitiful under his tutelage makes me to have faith change for the sake of change will at least bear fruit short-term. With offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea also coming from New England, the offense will get an abundance of emphasis, the hiring a DC as HC notwithstanding.

But how about that defense? Miami is reliable in the secondary with CB Xavien Howard, S Minkhah Fitzpatrick, and S TJ McDonald, who has 75 NFL starts on his resume. Christian Wilkens, a first-rounder DT, will have an immediate impact. Yes, there are holes on defense, especially with the departures of Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn. But with season-win totals ranging from 4.5-5 depending on the juice, they don’t have to be Monsters of the Midway to exceed the season wins total.

Season outlook: With the massive upgrade at QB sneaking under the radar and the short-term boost a new coach gives to a team playing below their potential, look for a .500 season or better.

Colts-Redskins

Leave a comment

promo/euro

The National Football League gets back on the sporting schedule on Sunday
night, as the Indianapolis Colts meet the Washington Redskins in the annual
Hall of Fame Game as football betting
takes center stage.

However, Indy will be missing a future Hall of Famer
in the game at Fawcett Stadium, as starting QB Peyton Manning won’t be in
uniform. Also skipping the game for the Colts will be WR
Marvin Harrison, who isn’t quite ready to test out his knees. New ‘Skins head
coach Jim Zorn and his West Coast offense will make their debuts in this contest.

BetUs Sportsbook oddsmakers
like Washington’s chances of starting the preseason with a win, as they’ve been
pegged as 6-point favorites for Sunday. The game’s total is at 31.5 points.

The top football sports service

On the diamond the Cubs and Brewers will both send stud pitchers to the
mound on Sunday. Carlos Zambrano (12-4, 2.80 ERA) will get the ball for Chicago
in their home game against Ian Snell (4-8, 6.04 ERA) and Pittsburgh.
Ben Sheets (10-4, 3.14 ERA) will be the starter for the Brewers against Atlanta
and Jorge Campillo (5-4, 2.76 ERA).

Other NL games on Sunday: Colorado at Florida, Cincinnati at Washington, the
Mets at Houston, San Francisco at San Diego, Arizona at the Dodgers, and
Philadelphia at St. Louis (with Brett Myers (4-9, 5.46 ERA) battling with Todd Wellemeyer (8-4, 4.13 ERA)).

Over in the American League Daisuke Matsuzaka (11-2, 3.04 ERA) will be
looking for his 12th win of the year when the Red Sox host Dallas
Braden (2-1, 4.39 ERA) and the Athletics. The Yankees will finish out their
series against the Angels and ace John Lackey (9-2, 2.93 ERA), while the Rays
will once again host the Tigers in Tampa
Bay.

Rounding out Sunday’s Junior Circuit slate are the White Sox at Kansas
City, Baltimore
at Seattle, Toronto
at Texas, and Cleveland
at Minnesota. Twins pitcher
Francisco Liriano is now back from the minor leagues,
and he’ll get the start on Sunday afternoon.

In the Sprint Cup Series, Jimmie Johnson will be looking to make it two wins
in a row on Sunday when he takes to the track at Pocono Raceway for this year’s
Pennsylvania 500.

Johnson took the checkered flag in the troubled Allstate 400 at the
Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last weekend, keeping his tires from
exploding just long enough to grab the victory. That was Johnson’s second win
of this Sprint Cup season.

Kurt Busch won the Pennsylvania
500 last year, while Kasey Kahne
visited victory lane in the Pocono 500 on this track back in June. Jeff Gordon
took the checkered flag in the Pocono 500 last year, and he has four career Cup
victories on the Pennsylvania track.

Meanwhile, overseas, Lewis Hamilton is back on top of the drivers
championship as the Formula One series hits the track in Budapest
for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Hamilton picked up his second
straight victory last time out, beating Nelsinho
Piquet across the finish line to take the checkered flag in the German Grand
Prix. The win pushed Hamilton four
points ahead of Felipe Massa in the current F1 driver
standings.

Hamilton won the Hungarian Grand
Prix in 2007, holding off Kimi Raikkonen
and Nick Heidfeld for the victory. Fernando Alonso,
Robert Kubica, Ralf Schumacher, Nico
Rosberg, and Heikki Kovalainen rounded out the Top 8 finishers in Budapest
last year.

Beating NFL Odds

Leave a comment

Before burying the recently concluded NFL season, savvy
gamblers will want to sift through those decaying bones to determine if the
gridiron carcass left any clues that could be used to uncover a successful NFL
betting strategy when the 2008 campaign kicks off in September.

One angle that has clicked for several straight years again took the blue
ribbon in 2007: If you want to be an NFL betting winner, bet a winner. Simply,
teams that were straight up (SU) winners on the field also were highly
successful at the windows, against the spread (ATS).

In fact, of the 13 teams that posted regular season winning records, 12 of them
also had winning marks against the spread. The 13th team, the
Washington Redskins, was .500 ATS, meaning that no team with a straight up
winning record had a losing record against the spread. The overall pointspread
log for these 13 teams was 126-77-5, a
62.0 win percentage, a figure for which any NFL betting enthusiast would sell
his throwback jersey.

Yes, hindsight always is 20/20 but was it so difficult to predict that teams
such as the Patriots, Colts, Chargers, Seahawks and Cowboys would have straight
up winning records? Some shrewd bettors even allowed the oddsmakers and
bookmakers to do their homework for them, relying on regular season over/under
win total propositions as the basis for their wagers. The above-mentioned teams
all had totals of 10 victories or more entering last season.

On the other cleat, of the 15 teams that had straight up losing records, only
one, the Buffalo Bills, had a winning mark against the spread. Maybe it was the
snow that was the great pointspread equalizer in Buffalo.

Those 15 teams were 92-141-7 against the spread, a cover percentage of .394,
meaning that those who wisely bet against those teams collected on more than 60
percent of their wagers.

Predictably enough, the four teams that finished with straight up .500 records
also were right around that mark against the spread.

Week 8 Fantasy Football and NFL Betting Injury Information

Leave a comment

Week 8 NFL betting: now let’s take a look at late game NFL
injuries and key information for sports bettors, fantasy football gurus
and more. The early NFL injuries for online gamblers are here.

Bills-Jets

Despite it being an inter-state east coast battle, it is a
4:00 EST start or 1:00 for Las Vegas
sports bettors. Struggling New
York is a three-point favorite at most sportsbooks. The Jets are without
linebacker Jonathan “Stone” Vilma.

Texans-Chargers

Houston
quarterback Matt Schaub is considered probable to
questionable. San Diego starting
defensive tackle Jamal Williams is a game time decision. San
Diego will fight the distractions of being displaced
because of the California
wildfires. Houston should have the
services of running back Ahman Green.

Jaguars-Buccaneers

Tampa varies
among sportsbooks as a 3.5 or
four-point favorites. Jacksonville’s
running back Maurice Jones-Drew is a game time decision. WFAN
radio’s Mike Francesca believes the Jaguars will be “as conservative as a team
can be today” because the Jags are without quarterback David Garrard. “It will
be a 10-6 type game” according to the talk show host. Garrard may miss four
weeks.

Saints-49ers

Darrell Jackson is doubtful. Running back Frank Gore is
now considered questionable after being listed as probable early in the week.

Redskins-Patriots

New England’s running back Sammy
Morris and tight end Ben Watson are questionable.

Critical Betting and Gambling Notes, Secrets of the Pros, Handicapping Formulas

Leave a comment

It’s been awhile since we authored a volume in this series.

However more anticipated than a Harry Potter novel, the Tid-Bets return to take a look at various sports handicapping and betting issues.

How Do Handicappers Work Overtime? 

CBS announcer Gary Danielson accurately observed how college football overtimes can greatly distort statistics. From a handicapping standpoint, this is certainly true for those who use deceptive rankings or points per game statistics. Luckily sharp bettors do not or they are weighted very lightly.

The main statistics that we use: yards per rush, yards per pass, and yards per play on offense and defense compared to the cumulative average of their opponents are not debased by overtime play. The same is true for ace football handicapper Joe Duffy who utilizes net yard advantage/disadvantage cumulative statistics.

We’ve explained in previous articles why straight up wins and losses, point margin, and offensive and defensive rankings are the most popular choices of square players planning their own sportsbook death sentence.

“If a team wins by eight points in four overtimes, it looks the same as an eight-point win in regulation,” says Mike Godsey, referring to those who use the above fatal stats.

https://youtu.be/qa6H7tcWGeM

“But if the losing team is stopped on the three-yard line trying to tie the game, it is very much accounted for in our statistics,” brags Godsey.

Godsey adds that while as a fan he despises the fact that teams start 25 yards from pay dirt; it is built-in insurance that the more reliable numbers don’t get too distorted in overtime.

Will the Pitching and Defense Cliché Ever Die?

In 2007, no surprise, seven of the top eight offenses based on a team’s on base percentage made the playoffs. Two of the three teamsthat finished with 70 wins or less, Pittsburgh and Baltimore, ranked in the top five in defense, ahead of six of the eight playoff teams. And six of the top 10 pitching teams missed the playoffs.

This is on the heels of St. Louis winning the World Series with Chris Carpenter and a cast of rejects on their pitching staff. Their closer was a converted rookie starting pitcher. The year before the White Sox had a good starting pitching staff and an abysmal bullpen. In recent years, Arizona won with Johnson and Schilling and the rest of the staff worth killing.

The Toronto Blue Jays this most recent campaign had the best pitching staff in MLB with A.J. Burnett, Roy Halladay, Dustin McGowan, Shaun Marcum and Jesse Litsch. All they did was finish 13 games out of first place.

This year the Colorado Rockies enter the World Series having won an historic 21-of-22 games. The ace of their staff is Jeff Francis, a very solid pitcher indeed. Problem is, he’d be the No. 3 starter on the Atlanta Braves, a team that the media said failed to make the playoffs because of lack of pitching. But not to worry, rounding out the Rockies pitching staff is Ubadlo Jimenez and Franklin Morales. Combined, they have seven career wins under their belt. Yes, combined they have seven more wins at the Major League level than I do.

Pitching and defense wins in the media, but the teams with the best clutch hitting are the squads that professional gamblers laugh with
all the way to the bank.

ESPN Fantasy Football Simulations a Tool for Proposition Bettors

Over the last several years, online gamblers have been able to bet on the production of individual players in their respective sports. An elite gambler in fantasy football betting is Mike Snow of BettorsAdvice.com.

He says there is no better starting point than the ESPN fantasy football projections. “We of course make adjustments for injuries, but contrasting the player proposition odds to the ESPN simulations has proven to be great foundation in fantasy NFL betting.”

Lower betting limits make it more challenging for sharp players to clean house on the sportsbooks, but Snow says some of the highest return on investments have been in betting NFL player propositions.
