Most lopsided bets in term of percentage of money and biggest sportsbook liabilities: Baltimore, Atlanta

Sharp versus square metrics AKA pros versus Joes: NY Jets, Tampa. 

Free picks start out from the NFL on the LA Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars.

LA CHARGERS-3 Jacksonville

Going with road teams off road loss under specific circumstances that apply today is 332-241-11. Anti-splits angle in which we go with road team with much worse away winning percentage than the home team home winning percentage is 61-44-5. In this case, the teams have identical records and LA is 2-4 SU road, with Jacksonville 2-4 home. The straight up records imply an even matchup and hence the Jags “should” be three-point favorites as that is what home field is. However, they are not and many proven angles say use the oddsmakers’ knowledge directly against them. This game was bet on the NFL live lines, latest odds at MYBookie

Now to the NBA from the Grandmaster. 

DENVER -3 Brooklyn

Road favorites off loss under specific circumstances that apply today are 759-602-21. A subset that says it’s slightly better if the team we are betting on was not sizzling hot before previous loss is 692-534-20. When we are also fading a team off a win, it is 247-169-5 for 59.4 percent. 

Now to college basketball:

TENNESSEE TECH +12 Ohio

High volume based on advanced metrics from last game including rebounds, field goal percentage is 1787-1449-80.
