Are you able to guess Army-Navy?
It’s the one soccer sport of the yr the place American bettors care extra concerning the complete than the purpose unfold. Last yr’s complete opened with round 34 O/U and closed with a market low of 27.5. The closing rating was 17-11.
Numbers matter!
I’ve two school soccer bets, two NFL bets, and a moneyline parlay for subsequent weekend. Remember, this area just isn’t the place for 1,000,000 picks or 5 groups. These will all the time be the video games I like probably the most.
Let’s go to work.
2024 document: (34-35, -4.4 items)
No. 22 Army (-6.5, O/U 39) vs. Marina
Last yr we guess 1Q Under 6.5 and sweated till the end line. It was scoreless after the primary body and a landing was scored within the first minute of the second quarter. Wow. This yr I’ll go additional within the first half. Bryson Daily and Blake Horvath make up probably the most proficient signal-calling tandem I can ever bear in mind within the historical past of the sport, and I feel we’ll have fireworks quickly.
CHOICE: 1st half Over 19.5 factors scored
UC Davis @ South Dakota (-5.5, O/U 57.5)
There has been some very fascinating line motion all week on this FCS playoff tilt. Last Sunday, South Dakota opened at -6.5 and Las Vegas sportsbooks wrote nothing however UC Davis early bets. The line dropped to -3.5 earlier than being utterly rejected at South Dakota -5.5. The good outdated okey-doke. A revered bettor advised me his actual quantity is -7, so I’ll take the bait.
PICK: South Dakota (-5.5) wins by greater than 5.5 factors
Buccaneers @ Charger (-3, O/U 45.5)
The defeated Chargers are placing up a struggle, certain, however now they need to win by margin with minimal offense? They picked up 10 first downs towards Atlanta and received as a result of Kirk Cousins sucked, then erased a 13-0 halftime deficit towards Kansas City and virtually received that sport. Jim Harbaugh is unquestionably teaching his crew, however there isn’t any means I’m making a basket.
PICK: The Buccaneers (+3) lose by lower than 3 factors or win outright
Should the Cowboys be embarrassed about being underdogs towards the Panthers?
Invoices @ Lions (-2.5, U/U 54.5)
I wrote about this sport earlier this week. It’s no secret that Dan Campbell’s high-safety man-to-man protection permits dual-threat quarterbacks to thrive. Just ask former Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who ran for 450 yards in 5 video games towards Detroit. MVP favourite Josh Allen is predicted to go loopy and can possible have Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid again within the fold.
CHOOSE: Bills (+2.5) to lose by lower than 2.5 factors or win outright
Chiefs (-4, U/U 43) @ Brown
Cowboys @ Panthers (-2.5, O/U 43)
If another individual advised me that the Chiefs had been frauds, I might go loopy. The overreactions are loopy. Three weeks in the past they had been 11-point favorites in Carolina and now they’re simply 4 factors towards a 3-10 Browns crew? Stop. Give me Kansas City to win and I’ll play Carolina towards a defeated Dallas crew that is already reserving tee instances.
PICK: Chiefs ML and Panthers ML parlay (+150)
