by Mike Allen - 9/20/2023

Heading into Week 3 of the NFL regular season, we are 2-0 on our teaser bets. In Week 1, we teased up two underdogs, and they both won outright. This past week, our teams still lost their games, but not by enough points to beat us. So, what exactly am I talking about? First, let’s define a teaser bet.

by Spencer Toth - 9/19/2023

The NFL season has closed the book on an action-packed Week 2, as the Overs went an astonishing 13-3, after going 4-12 in Week 1. Week 2 was our second consecutive week of going 2-1 ATS, moving our season record to 4-2. The Bears failed to cover the 3-point spread after throwing a late pick six, but the other two picks cashed as the Dolphins easily covered the -2, and the Rams covered the 8 points thanks to a last second field goal.

by Mike Allen - 9/13/2023

As we prepare for Week 2 of NFL betting action, I am happy to quickly recap how we did with our teaser from Week 1. We took two home underdogs, the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns, from (+2.5) to (+8.5). As you know, they both won outright. We certainly don't project it to be that easy as the season progresses. So, we are moving on to the second week of the NFL season, and before we get started, let's define a basic strategy NFL teaser bet.

NFL Betting Predictions: Week 2 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Spencer Toth - 9/12/2023

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books, and it is now time to look ahead at Week 2’s opening lines. In Week 1, we correctly picked the Ravens and Jaguars to win and cover, as both teams won by double digits. We failed to pick up the sweep, as the Steelers got pummeled by the 49ers, but I will take a 2-1 result every week this season.

Weekly Las Vegas and Online NFL Football Contest Report
by Christopher G. Shepard - 9/7/2023

In the past five years NFL pick’em and Survivor contests have blown-up. The Circa Millions and Circa Survivor has eclipsed the granddaddy of all NFL contests, the Westgate Supercontest, with $14 million in guaranteed money and no rake! That means 100% of the entry fees are returned to the customers in prize money. Meanwhile, DraftKings has returned to contest pools with their Main Event Pick’em, which offers customers in many states the opportunity to enter contests online without having to hire a proxy.

2023 NFL Betting Season Specials: Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 9/5/2023

You may call them America's Team or 'Dem Boys, but the Dallas Cowboys, love them or hate them, are a potential Super Bowl contender. I know you guys don't want to hear it. I'm not a fan of this team at all, but watch out… Dallas projects to have the best defense in the NFL this season. They trimmed the Ezekiel Elliott fat in the running game, and Tony Pollard finished second in the NFL in yards/carry last season with 5.2. That was a full yard better than the rest of the team combined.

2023 NFL Betting Season Specials: Jacksonville Jaguars
by Mike Allen - 9/5/2023

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been steadily improving for years. They have had a strong defense for a long time, and last season, the Jags were one of the league's most well-balanced teams. Their offense ranked ninth in yards/play, while the defense was 14th in the league in the same statistic. They have played spoiler many times in recent years, but this could be the season we finally see the Jaguars in the conversation as an elite team.

2023 NFL Betting Season Specials: San Francisco 49ers
by Mike Allen - 9/5/2023

The NFL's No. 1 defense and top-five offense from a year ago, the San Francisco 49ers, once again have high hopes to play in the Super Bowl. They fell short last year to the Philadelphia Eagles, but a late-season injury to their quarterback essentially spelled the end for the Niners.

2023 NFL Betting Season Specials: Denver Broncos
by Mike Allen - 9/5/2023

Nobody is happier for a fresh start in 2023 than the Denver Broncos and their fans. As you are likely aware, the Denver Broncos, specifically Russell Wilson, fell far short of expectations in 2022. Everyone seems to be fading them in 2023, as their quarterback looked like a shell of himself for the first time in his career.

by Spencer Toth - 8/24/2023

There is nothing quite like the kickoff of an NFL season. The crisp September air coupled with renewed optimism around the league signifies the beginning of a grueling 18-week season for players and bettors alike. The quarterback carousel is once again in full force, with 13 of the 32 teams starting new leaders at signal caller from a year ago, and these fresh faces will be eager to start off their new careers with a win.

2023-24 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award Odds and Predictions
by Matt Zitt - 8/21/2023

Watch out Justin Jefferson (reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year)! Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is now the favorite to take home the award in 2023-24. The last four winners of this award have all been skill position players. Three of those four have been wide receivers, with Derrick Henry being the lone running back. He won it in 2020 after terrorizing defenses with 2,027 rushing yards, 17 rushing touchdowns and averaging 5.4 yards per carry.

NFL Records Broken in 2023 Props: Yes or No Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/20/2023

Here are some betting odds that you don't see every day. It's a first for me. Will we see the first NFL wide receiver ever accumulate 2,000 yards of receptions through the air? How about an NFL quarterback throwing for more than 5,500 yards? How long have each of these records been around, and who set the records?

NFL Longest Winning Streak Predictions: Odds and Totals for 2023
by Mike Allen - 8/18/2023

We are not short on futures and prop bets for the upcoming 2023 NFL season. The betting odds we want to cover today are over/under odds for the longest winning streak for a particular NFL team. For example, the Baltimore Ravens have affordable betting odds of only (-140) to go on a winning streak longer than 3.5 games. I realize this sounds plausible. It looks like the A-side, but we must look at who the Ravens will be playing throughout the year and when.

2023 NFL Teams Stage of Elimination Betting Odds and Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/17/2023

There are so many futures prop bets available for the quickly approaching NFL season. I'm sure you have a couple of team wins over/under wagers on the books by now. Maybe, you have a play on whether a team makes the playoffs, the conference championship, or the Super Bowl. Those are all fun, and I encourage you to spread the money around this preseason, because most of these wagers will last you the entire year. Another thing to remember is that once the season begins, the vast majority of these betting odds will disappear.

by Mike Allen - 8/17/2023

The 2023 NFL Preseason schedule is finally underway. The months without football seem to last twice as long as those during the season. It works out making the Summers last, but that's about it. I'm sure you guys are as starved for football action as I am, and probably more. We still have to wait, though! The regular season kicks off with a Thursday night game on September 7. That is still about three weeks away.
