Week 2 NFL Betting Browns vs. Bengals Official Betting Preview

Two teams that are winless ATS, SU, and have gone under their only contest clash as week 2 NFL odds commence with the Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns. The Browns are off a 32-point rout at the hands of Baltimore. Teams off a 32 point or more loss are 139-114-11, including 13-6 if laying six or more. However, of mild surprise considering week 2 overreaction is common in NFL betting, teams off a week 1 loss of 32 or more are 1-7 since 1999. This record is both SU and ATS by a 31.2-12.4 margin.

Odds: Cleveland is laying -6 with a total of 43.5. Both are down from the opening odds of -7.5 and 46.

Public betting percentages: The public is more willing to bet on underdogs this season, presumably with the uncertainty as 56 percent of bets and 64 percent of cash on the Bengals. A slight majority of 51 percent of both tickets and cash are on the over.

Power ratings: Cleveland is projected to win 23-21 with math lines at Browns -1.5 and 43.5.

Computer simulations ATS: One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found Cleveland covering -6 at 53 percent of the time. Another says Cleveland should be laying eight points and has them covering 56.6 percent to 40.8, the rest pushes.

Computer simulations OU: Of 10,000 simulations from one of the industry’s elite simulations, 59 percent went over the 43.5. The other elite one says the total should be 47 and has 59.7 percent of simulations going over, 40.3 under.

Against the spread trends: Cincinnati is 33-16-2 in September and 0-4 after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game. Cleveland is 16-38 off loss. The favorite has covered 8-of-10 meetings.

Over-under trends: The series has gone over 4-0-1 lately. Cincinnati has gone under 8-1-1 away dogs. Cleveland has gone under the total five straight Thursday night contests.

Updated NBA Championship and NCAA Basketball Championship Odds

With the NCAA men’s basketball oversight committee expected to vote on a proposed start date to the 2020-21 season today, we thought it would be a good time to provide the latest championship odds.

Numbers are provided by SportsBetting.ag, and you can find the list of 50+ teams and their respective odds below.

In other basketball news, with the Western Conference Finals set and one game of the East Finals completed, there are updated NBA title odds.

With the top two seeds from the East and the Clippers gone, unsurprisingly, the Lakers are odds-on favorites.

NBA Championship Odds

Los Angeles Lakers  1-2  (-200)

Miami Heat  9-2  (+450)

Boston Celtics  11-2  (+550)

Denver Nuggets  9-1  (+900)

The Lakers are listed as 6.5-point favorites in Game 1 against Denver.

Finally, one-sided action on Wes Unseld Jr. has forced the sportsbook to take down odds for the Bulls next head coach. Whether the team and Unseld Jr. have reached an agreement is not public knowledge, but perhaps “Vegas knows something.”

Steelers-Giants Official Preview From Pro Betting Standpoint

The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New York Giants at 7:10 ET in the opening game of the Monday Night Football doubleheader.  The big story is the return of QB Ben Roethlisberger for Pittsburgh. Reports say he has been looking sharp in practice rebounding from another series injury. Also RB James Conner is back after missing six games with an injury last season.

Odds: Pittsburgh is -6 with a total of 45 at NFL live lines. It opened at -3.5 and 47 -115 at Betonline

Public betting percentages: The public loves their road favorites and no exception here as 74% of bets and 78% of cash is on Pittsburgh. Though 53% of tickets are on the over, 79% of money is on the under, implying a sharp bet for the under say many who study betting patterns.

Power ratings: The top power ratings have Pittsburgh winning by just a 23-20 score.

Computer simulations ATS: One simulation model has the Giants covering 50 percent of the time, but with pushes, makes them a slight lean. Likewise the other elite simulator gives a slight edge, but to Pittsburgh at 50.3-46.6, the remaining projected pushes.

Computer simulations OU: 57 percent of simulations go under according to one-program. The other agrees by a 51.3-47.3 ratio, with the remaining expected to land right on the number.

Against the spread trends: Pittsburgh is 2-7 in week 1, but so are the Giants. New York is also 3-12-1 at home,

Over-under trends: Pittsburgh has gone under 22-5 road favorites.

Cowboys vs. Rams Betting Picks Preview: Computer Simulations, Power Ratings, ATS and OU Intel

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
