  • The Atlanta Hawks visit the New York Knicks in the quarterfinals of the 2024 NBA Cup on Wednesday night
  • The Hawks have won six of their last seven, and the Knicks five of six
  • See the Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks odds, predictions, and player props for Dec. 11

  • Two of the hotter teams in the Association square off in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup on Wednesday night as the Atlanta Hawks (13-12, 6-6 away, 10-15 ATS) visit the New York Knicks (15-9, 8-3 home, 11-12-1 ATS) at Madison Square Garden at 7:10 pm ET. Though the Hawks have certainly upped their game the past two weeks, the Knicks are still big favorites in Wednesday’s NBA odds.

    Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks Odds

    Teams Spread Moneyline Total
    Atlanta Hawks +7.5 (-105) +260 O 236.5 (-115)
    New York Knicks -7.5 (-115) -320 U 236.5 (-105)

    The Hawks vs Knicks odds favor New York by 7.5 points and set the home side as a -320 moneyline favorite, which amounts to a 76.19% implied win probability. The Hawks come back at +260 to win straight-up, a 27.78% implied win probability.  Odds as of Dec. 11 at ESPN Bet. New users can claim an ESPN Bet promo to get a bonus for the NBA Cup. Check out SBD’s ESPN Bet app review here. 

    One of the reasons New York is laying so many points is injuries on the Atlanta side. Bogdan Bogdanovic (12.4 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.1 APG,) is questionable with a quad injury; Jalen Johnson (19.8 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 5.5 APG) is questionable with a shoulder injury, while Trae Young (20.9 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 12.2 APG) and De’Andre Hunter (19.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 1.3 APG) are both probable with Achilles and knee issues, respectively.

    That quartet comprises four of Atlanta’s top-five scorers. Neither Bogdanovic nor Johnson played in Atlanta’s last game, an ugly 141-11 blowout at home against the Nuggets on Sunday, which ended Atlanta’s six-game win streak.

    The Knicks aren’t fully healthy, either. Josh Hart (13.9 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 5.5 APG) is questionable due to a sprained ankle, while Karl-Anthony Towns (25.1 PPG, 13.3 RPG, 3.1 APG) is dealing with a knee injury and is listed as probable.

    Both played last time out, a 115-108 win at Toronto on Monday, with Towns scoring a team-high 24 points and grabbing a game-high 15 rebounds while also dishing out six assists.

    Wednesday’s NBA player props list Jalen Brunson (25.2 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 7.8 APG) with a game-high point total of 27.5 followed by Towns at 26.5. Young has the highest total on the Atlanta side at just 21.5.

    Towns has the highest rebound total at 12.5, which is three higher than any other player on the board.

    Young, the NBA’s assist leader, has a massive assist total of 11.5. Young’s 12.2 APG average is a full two assists higher than any other player in the league.

    Hawks vs Knicks Predictions

    Atlanta went on an impressive run from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. Not only did they win six in a row, those wins included two victories over the NBA-leading Cavaliers, plus the Bucks and the Lakers. But I have very little confidence the injury-riddled Hawks are going to maintain that level of play for any extended period of time. We already saw the first steps on the road to regression last time out.

    With Johnson and Bogdanovic both questionable again, I expect a fairly decisive win for New York tonight on their home court, where they’ve won seven of their last eight. The one loss in that span was their most-recent home game against Detroit on Saturday (120-111). The Knicks haven’t lost back-to-back home games since Feb. 27 and 29 last season. A bounce-back effort is likely.

    But with all the injuries on the Atlanta side, I expect Young to shoulder a bigger scoring load that he usually does, so I’m also betting the over on his point total at 21.5.

    • Knicks -5.5 (-156) at FanDuel
    • Young over 21.5 points (-110) at DraftKings

    Sascha Paruk’s 2024-25 NBA betting record: 30-32 (-3.38 units). All wagers one unit unless stated otherwise.

  • North Carolina took in more than $14 million in sports betting tax revenue in November
  • It was the highest monthly sports betting tax revenue total in the state’s history
  • Sports betting users wagered more of their own money in November than any other month

  • North Carolina sports betting is reaping the rewards of a fruitful football season.

    The North Carolina State Lottery Commission reported $657.6 million in online sports betting handle and $78.09 million in gross wagering revenue for the month of November, which led to more than $14 million in sports betting tax revenue.

    The monthly sports betting tax revenue is the highest total the state has ever recorded since launching in March 2024.

    North Carolina Patrons Use Less Promos

    The North Carolina State Lottery Commission reported $657,688,077 million in total sports betting handle, which lagged behind the record monthly handle total of $659,308,541 set in March 2024 during the state’s launch.

    However, North Carolina patrons wagered more of their own money in November than any other month, as they only used slightly more than $19 million in promos. The patrons bet $638.65 million of their own funds during the month, the most ever bet by state residents.

    During the initial launch month of March 2024, state customers took advantage of more than $202.6 million in promos and only bet $456.7 million of their own funds.

    Since its sports betting launch, North Carolina customers have bet $4.35 billion in total handle. Of that total handle, $434.2 million have been promotional bets.

    Most Profitable Month of Sports Betting

    In addition to the mountain of handle bet during November, the state reported its most profitable month of sports betting. The North Carolina State Lottery Commission reported $78.09 million in gross sports betting revenue, which led to more than $14.057 million in sports betting tax revenue.

    It was the highest sports betting tax revenue total for any month of North Carolina sports betting, topping the previous monthly record of $12.61 million set in September 2024.

    Since launch, the state has reported 545,594,932 in gross gaming revenue, which led to $98,627,033 in sports betting tax revenue.

The upstart Hoosiers look to pull off the upset, but the Fighting Irish are favored by over a touchdown at home. Who has the edge?

  • We’ve made our early Indiana vs Notre Dame prediction for the College Football Playoff first round
  • The latest CFP odds favor the Fighting Irish by over a touchdown at home
  • Read below for our Indiana vs Notre Dame prediction, picks, and odds

  • The College Football Playoff kicks off with a blockbuster matchup between in-state foes, as the No. 10 seed Indiana Hoosiers (11-1) travel to South Bend to take on the No. 7 seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish (11-1). The Irish are laying 7.5 points at home in this one, with the total sitting at 50.5 points.

    This marks the first-ever meeting between these programs in the playoff, adding even more intrigue to what was already shaping up as one of the most compelling first-round clashes.

    The Fighting Irish are looking to reestablish themselves as a national powerhouse, while the Hoosiers are out to prove their magical season is no fluke. Oddsmakers are siding with the Irish, but the sharp money is going the other way…

    Indiana vs Notre Dame Odds

    Team Spread Moneyline Total
    Indiana +7.5 (-110) +250 Over 50.5 (-110)
    Notre Dame -7.5 (-110) -300 Under 50.5 (-110)

    The spread opened at Notre Dame -8.5 but has since moved to -7.5, with the Hoosiers garnering early betting action. The total has ticked down from 51.5 to 50.5, indicating bettors are expecting a lower-scoring affair.

    Hoosiers Betting Analysis

    Indiana has been the feel-good story of the college football season, rattling off 11 wins under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti. The Hoosiers’ explosive offense, led by quarterback Kurtis Rourke (71.5% completions, 27-4 TD-INT), ranks 1st in success rate and 2nd in EPA/Play – and boy, has it worked.

    However, the Hoosiers did struggle against elite defenses in Ohio State and Michigan, totaling just 35 points in those contests. Their methodical approach could face another stiff test against a stingy Notre Dame defense. Establishing the run (173.6 YPG) and hitting on selective deep shots will be key.

    Defensively, Indiana has been surprisingly stout, ranking 2nd in EPA/play allowed. They’ve been vulnerable to the pass at times (61.6% completions allowed) but have excelled at limiting explosive plays (4th in FBS). Winning on early downs and forcing the Irish into third-and-longs will be crucial.

    The Hoosiers are 9-3 ATS this season, consistently rewarding bettors who have backed them. They’re 8-1 ATS when generating 7+ explosive plays offensively.

    Fighting Irish Betting Analysis

    Notre Dame has rebounded from an early-season stumble against Northern Illinois to rattle off 10 straight wins. The Irish lean on an old-school, smash-mouth ground attack (224.8 YPG) that ranks 2nd in EPA/rush, consistently winning at the line of scrimmage (3.94 yards after contact per attempt).

    Quarterback Riley Leonard (2,092 passing yards, 16-5 TD-INT, 721 rushing yards, 14 TDs) has been solid if unspectacular. The Irish secondary did show some cracks against USC (360 yards allowed), which could be problematic against the veteran pass-first QB Kurtis Rourke.

    Notre Dame’s defense is anchored by an elite secondary that leads the nation in passing success rate and completion rate allowed. However, their run defense has been suspect at times, ranking 129th in stuff rate. If the Hoosiers can stay ahead of the chains on the ground, they could find room to operate.

    The Irish are 9-2-1 ATS this season, including 6-2-1 as favorites of a touchdown or more. Their 4-3 ATS mark in South Bend suggests they don’t always dominate inferior opponents as expected.

    Early Indiana vs Notre Dame Prediction

    This strength vs strength matchup pits Indiana’s dynamic offense against Notre Dame’s stingy defense. The Hoosiers have the firepower to test the Irish secondary that just got torched by USC, while Notre Dame’s punishing run game draws a favorable matchup against an Indiana front that has shown some cracks.

    The total has ticked down from 51.5 to 50.5, as both teams’ ball-control offenses and strong defenses point toward a lower-scoring affair. The weather forecast and potential conservative game plans should contribute to a methodical pace.

    • Early Picks: Indiana +7.5 | Under 50.5

    Here’s the thing: The Hoosiers have consistently exceeded expectations this season, and getting over a touchdown in what should be a competitive game looks enticing. Don’t be surprised if Indiana keeps this one close throughout.

    Unless we see a bunch of turnovers or explosive plays, this one should stay under the number while coming down to the final few possessions. I’m grabbing both Indiana +7.5 and the Under before the lines move further.

  • The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined William Hill $20,000 for accepting bets on events that had already concluded
  • The bets took place between February 2022 and April 2023
  • In total, William Hill allowed 42 bets on NCAA basketball games after the outcomes were already known

  • The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has fined British gambling company William Hill $20,000 for accepting several bets from February 2022 through April 2023 on events that had already concluded.

    According to a New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJ DGE) report obtained by Sports Betting Dime through an OPRA request, the gambling company allowed multiple past-posting bets on NCAA men’s basketball, boxing, and NCAA hockey.

    The bets were placed in-person at William Hill sportsbooks in Caesars Atlantic City, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, and Tropicana Atlantic City.

    Sportsbook Supplier Blamed for Several Errors

    According to the complaint, William Hill notified the NJ DGE that it accepted past-posted bets for 12 NCAA basketball games on Feb. 23, 2022 and eight NCAA basketball games that took place on Feb. 23, 2022, all after the events were concluded.

    In total, 42 bets on NCAA basketball games were accepted at self-service kiosks in William Hill sportsbook locations in Atlantic City across the two days. The sports betting operator said the error occurred after its pre-programmed rules for creating betting markets had failed to be applied by its sportsbook supplier, OpenBet, which then allowed second-half bets to be accepted at the kiosks after the events had already concluded.

    William Hill reported that it paid out $5,022.56 in six wagers to patrons who had bet on the events, while one losing ticket resulted in a $500 loss for a patron. The company voided 35 bets and refunded stakes to customers for $10,547 total.

    However, the rest of the past-posting incidents were due to manual trading errors by the sports betting company.

    Remaining Incorrect Bets Due to Manual Trading Erros

    On June 13, 2022, the company accepted six bets on pre-match markets for a total of $2,902.74 on a Kongo Boxing Match featuring Chris Kongo vs. Sebastian Formella. William Hill incorrectly created markets for a start time of noon on June 11, 2022, when the match actually began at 11:15 a.m. and ended at 11:55 a.m.

    All wagers were voided and the stakes returned to the users.

    Similarly, William Hill incorrectly accepted four bets for $25,125 on a Bentley Boxing Match between Denzel Bentley and Kieran Smith on April 15, 2023. The match was created with markets beginning at noon on April 15, 2023, but the match actually began at 11:55 a.m. and ended in a knockout after 45-seconds.

    The bet stakes were returned to the customers.

    Finally, William Hill reported accepting four bets from one patron on an NCAA hockey game for a total of $2,000. The match, Rochester Institute of Technology vs. Arizona State University, was scheduled for 6 p.m. on Jan. 21, 2023, but actually began at 3 p.m. and ended at 5:30 on that date.

    The stakes were returned to the customer.

    Maryland Sports Betting Records Historic Month https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/betting/maryland-sports-betting-records-historic-month/ Tue, 10 Dec 2024 20:00:18 +0000 https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/?p=650150 Maryland reported the most profitable month in its sports betting history, notching nearly $12 million in tax revenue in November.

  • Maryland Lottery and Gaming reported nearly $11.8 million in sports betting tax revenue for November
  • November was the most profitable month of sports betting in Maryland history
  • Maryland sports bettors wagered nearly $640 million in November

  • Maryland came into an early Christmas present this year.

    Maryland Lottery and Gaming today reported more than $78.6 million in taxable gaming revenue this past November. The state taxes sports betting at a rate of 15%, which led to nearly $11.8 million in sports betting tax revenue, a historic mark for the Old Line state.

    November was the most profitable month of sports betting in the state’s history since its December 2021 launch.

    Happy Holidays, Maryland

    The commission reported Maryland sports bettors wagered $639,867,400 during November 2024, the largest single-month handle total, surpassing the $593.1 million figure set in October 2024. Online sports betting dominated the state once again, with $621.01 million in sports betting handle for the month, compared with just $18.85 million in retail sports betting handle in November.

    November’s $11.8 million in sports betting tax revenue surpassed the previous single-month tax revenue record of $9.4 million set in September 2024.

    Through the first five months of FY 2025, Maryland sports betting has taken in $40,065,740 in total tax revenue, compared to $18,111,505 for the same period in FY 2024. To date, Maryland has reported $128.6 million in sports betting tax revenue.

    Maryland currently has 11 online sports wagering platforms and 12 retail sportsbook locations.

    FanDuel Has Exceptional Month

    FanDuel paced all sports betting operators in November, nearly doubling DraftKings in both handle and sports betting tax revenue. FanDuel reported more than $283.3 million in sports betting handle and $6.01 million in sports betting tax revenues in November.

    DraftKings lagged behind FanDuel, but dominated the rest of the competition. DraftKings reported $199.7 million in sports betting handle for the month and $3.5 million in sports betting tax revenue.

  • A rematch from last year’s playoffs highlights the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday night as the Dallas Mavericks (16-8,8-5 away, 14-9-1 ATS) visit the OKC Thunder (18-5, 9-2 home, 14-9 ATS) at the Paycom Center at 8:40 pm CT/9:40 pm ET. Despite a run of three straight setbacks to Dallas, OKC is a 4.5-point favorite in Tuesday’s NBA odds.

    Not only have the Mavericks been hot against OKC, they’re also the hottest team in the NBA overall entering play on Tuesday. Dallas has won seven straight games, three without Luka Doncic (28.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 8.1 APG), including a trio of wins over teams that are currently above .500 (Atlanta, Memphis, New York). Since Luka returned from a wrist injury on Dec. 1, he’s averaged 31.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, and 9.5 APG in four straight wins.

    In other words, the preseason favorite in the NBA MVP odds has picked up where he left off.

    Fading the Thunder has been a dangerous proposition this season. Not only are they the top seed in the West right now, two games clear of Memphis, they also have the seventh-best ATS record in the Association at 14-9. Yet this Dallas team just seem to have OKC’s number. They went 2-1 straight-up in Oklahoma City during last year’s playoffs (winning the best-of-seven four games to two) and already beat the Thunder 121-119 in OKC this season without Luka.

    The spread of 4.5 points is not insignificant. Dallas has a great chance to win this one straight-up, and I love them getting a handful of points.

    NBA player props from FanDuel on Dec. 10

    SGA leads the Mavericks vs Thunder props at with a point total of 30.5. Doncic has the highest total on the Mavs’ side at 28.5. OKC early-season acquisition Isaiah Hartenstein has the highest rebound total at 11.5, three higher than any other player on the board. Hartenstein was picked up in an effort to fill Chet Holmgren’s minutes while the Thunder center works his way back from a hip injury.

    Best Mavericks vs Thunder Odds

    Team Spread Moneyline Total
    DAL Mavericks +4.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet +155 at bet365 Over 230.5 (-105) at FanDuel
    OKC Thunder -4.5 (-108) at DraftKings -180 at Caesars Under 231.5 (-110) at BetMGM

    The Mavericks/Thunder spread is currently OKC -4.5 across the board with only slight variations in the odds. The vast majority of books have the line at -110 both ways, but OKC bettors can get the Thunder -4.5 at -108 at DraftKings.

    On the moneyline, bet365 and ESPN Bet have the best price on Orlando winning straight-up at +155, while Caesars and DraftKings have the best OKC moneyline at -180.

    There is a bigger range when it comes to the total. The O/U is as high as 231.5 (O -105/U -115) at BetMGM and as low as 230.5 (O -110 / U -110) at FanDuel.

    Tuesday’s NBA public betting percentages illustrate two contrasting trends; the Thunder are getting 74% of moneyline handle but the Mavericks are getting 72% of ATS handle as 4.5-point underdogs.

  • We’ve made our early SMU vs Penn State prediction for the College Football Playoff first-round
  • The latest CFP odds favor the Nittany Lions by more than a touchdown at home
  • Read below for our SMU vs Penn State prediction, pick, and odds

  • The stage is set for an enticing College Football Playoff first-round matchup between SMU and Penn State. These conference runner-ups will square off on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at noon ET in the iconic Beaver Stadium.

    Oddsmakers are heavily leaning toward the Nittany Lions, despite James Franklin’s poor track record in big games. The electric home playoff atmosphere in Happy Valley could make all the difference in a showdown that will be broadcast on TNT/Max.

    Let’s break down the early college football bowl betting odds and provide our SMU vs Penn State prediction.

    SMU vs Penn State Odds

    Team Spread Moneyline Over/Under
    SMU +8.5 +270 54
    Penn State -8.5 -340 54

    The books have Penn State as an 8.5-point favorite here. That translates to about a 77% chance of a Nittany Lions win. SMU sits as a +270 underdog, giving them roughly a 27% shot at pulling off the upset.

    With the total set at 54 points, oddsmakers are expecting these offenses to put up some fireworks.

    Mustangs Betting Analysis

    SMU rolls into this one at 11-2, fresh off a heartbreaking 34-31 loss to Clemson in the ACC title game. QB Kevin Jennings has been the real deal since taking over, going 9-1 as the starter. He’s a true dual-threat weapon, putting up 379 yards and 5 TDs on the ground while throwing for 3,050 yards with 22 TDs and eight picks.

    The Mustangs love to pound the rock. They rank 17th in the country in both carries (506) and rushing touchdowns (29).

    Running back Brendon Smith has been a beast, racking up 1,270 yards and 14 scores on 217 carries. But they’ll have their work cut out for them against Penn State’s stout run D, which gives up just 103.6 yards per game.

    What really impressed me about SMU was their grit in the ACC Championship. They fell behind early but never quit. Jennings showed some serious poise, leading multiple scoring drives to keep them in it. They’ll need that same mental toughness when they walk into what’s sure to be a rowdy Beaver Stadium.

    Nittany Lions Betting Analysis

    Penn State comes in at 11-2, with their only losses against teams that made the playoff. Their defense has been flat-out nasty all year. They rank eighth in scoring D (16.4 PPG), ninth against the run (103.6 YPG), and 16th against the pass (178.5 YPG).

    The Lions’ offense really showed up in the Big Ten title game, hanging 518 yards on a solid Oregon defense. QB Drew Allar has grown up before our eyes this season, putting together a solid stat line (224/324, 2894 yards, 21 TDs, 7 INTs) while making plays with his legs.

    Tyler Warren has turned into a monster at tight end, hauling in 88 balls for 1,062 yards and six scores. Not many players improved their draft stock more this season than PSU’s standout tight end.

    The elephant in the room? James Franklin’s record in big games. He’s just 1-4 against AP Top 10 teams and has dropped 11 straight against such opponents. Getting over that hump with a playoff win would be huge for this program.

    Don’t sleep on the home-field edge here. December in Happy Valley is no joke. If the weather turns nasty, it could really throw off an SMU team that’s used to playing in the Dallas heat.

    SMU vs Penn State Early Prediction

    SMU’s had a great run and showed tons of fight in the ACC title game. However, Penn State’s overall talent, shutdown defense, and home-field advantage should be too much here. Look for the Nittany Lions to control the pace and grind out a win.

    In terms of my ATS prediction, the spread feels about right to me. Penn State has the tools to cover, but SMU’s proven they can hang with anyone. This should be a battle. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and injury updates as we get closer to kickoff – those factors could swing things either way.

    I’m leaning toward Penn State -8.5, especially if the weather forecast projections hold. Pinnacle, one of the sharpest bookmakers in the world, has already bumped this line up to -9. If you like the home team here, I’d lock in PSU -8.5 while you can.

    Early Lean:

    • Penn State -8.5 (-110)

    Sascha Paruk’s 2024-25 NBA betting record: 28-30(-2.80 units). All wagers one unit unless stated otherwise.

    Down Goes Franz

    As if missing All-Star Paolo Banchero (29.0 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 5.6 APG in 5 GP this year) wasn’t bad enough, Orlando got more bad news on Friday when Franz Wagner (24.4 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 5.7 APG) suffered a torn oblique during a 102-94 loss at Philadelphia.

    Wagner will be out for four-to-six weeks. The Magic responded admirably in their first game without both their star scorers, taking down the Kevin Durant-less Suns 115-110, led by 26 points from Jalen Suggs.

    The victory improved Orlando’s home record to a perfect 10-0, which stands in stark contrast to their 7-9 record in road games.

    NBA player props from DraftKings Sportsbook on Dec 10.

    Giannis (32.5 PPG, 11.6 RPG, 6.2 APG) has the highest point total (29.5 O/U) and rebound total (11.5 O/U) of the night. After a relatively sluggish start to the season, Giannis as gone over 29.5 points in seven of his last eight games, averaging 34.4 PPG in that eight-game span. Giannis’ hot streak has coincided with Milwaukee’s surge up the East standings. After starting the year an ugly 4-9, they are now a game over .500 thanks to going 8-2 in their last ten.

    Suggs (16.0 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 3.9 APG) leads the Magic players at 24.5 O/U. In Orlando’s only game without Wagner and Bachero this season, he had a team-high 26.

    Magic vs Bucks Predictions

    Orlando is running into Milwaukee at the wrong time and in the wrong place. They showed remarkable resilience last time out, maintaining their perfect home record without their two most-important players but that was a fatigued Phoenix team playing it’s second game in as many nights and third in four. Tonight, Orlando faces a rested and resurgent Bucks group that’s won seven of its last eight at Fiserv Forum.

    • Bucks -3.5 (-170) at FanDuel
    • Antetokounmpo over 29.5 points (-120) at DraftKings

See the odds and betting lines here, plus get our early prediction on the total.

    The post Tennessee vs Ohio State Betting Line, Early Prediction & Preview appeared first on Sports Betting Dime.

    ]]>
  • The #8 Ohio State Buckeyes are a 7.5-point favorite over the #9 Tennessee Volunteers in the First Round of the CFP on December 21st
  • The Buckeyes lead the nation in scoring defense
  • Check out the Tennessee vs Ohio State betting line, early prediction and preview, below

  • In previous years, there was zero chance one, yet alone two programs who didn’t make their Conference Championship Game would crack the College Football Playoff bracket.

    Now with the expanded format however, the best teams can still fight for a National Title even if they have a slip-up or two.

    That’s perfect for #9 Tennessee and # Ohio State. Both teams have been staples in the top-10 all year, despite their two losses. They’ll square off on Saturday, December 21st in a First-Round playoff game, with the Buckeyes pegged as chalk in the latest college football odds.

    Tennessee vs Ohio State Odds

    Teams Spread Moneyline Total
    Tennessee Volunteers +7.5 (-120) +215 O 47.5 (-110)
    Ohio State Buckeyes -7.5 (+100) -265 U 47.5 (-110)

    Ohio State opened as 7.5-point favorites, in a contest with a total of 47.5. That’s currently where both the spread and total numbers sit, although as we get closer to kickoff, expect a flurry of Buckeyes action which could push the spread further in their favor.

    Kickoff for this playoff tilt is set for 8 pm ET at Ohio Stadium, in Columbus, OH, with ABC and ESPN providing the broadcast coverage.

    How Ohio State Can Overwhelm Tennessee

    Ohio State was on track to face #1 Oregon in the Big Ten Championship Game until a loss to unranked Michigan in the regular season finale. The Buckeyes played well enough defensively to win, but mustered only 10 points on offense.

    Senior QB Will Howard picked the wrong time to have his worst game of the year, completing only 58% of his throws, while turning the ball over twice. Howard exceeded all expectations through his first 11 games, and Ohio State backers will bank on his latest performance being an outlier.

    The biggest problem was his inability to get the ball to star wideout Jeremiah Smith. The Big Ten Receiver saw only two targets after halftime against the Wolverines, after shattering the school receiving records for a freshman.

    On the ground, Ohio State boasts a strong rushing attack, featuring Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson. The duo combined for 1,556 rushing yards and 14 TD his season.

    The Buckeyes finished sixth in points per drive this season, and ninth on offense per SP+. They were 3-1 versus top-20 ranked opponents in the SP+ rankings, winning each time by at least a touchdown.

    As good as the offense is, the defense is even better. They’re the number one unit per SP+, and the number one scoring defense. The Ohio State pass rush and coverage group are among the best in the country, and they’ll pose a daunting test for a Tennessee offense that struggles to generate big plays.

    Can the Volunteers Keep it Close?

    The Vols averages less than 12 yards per successful play, which ranks 115th in the nation. Unlike Ohio State, they don’t have elite wideouts, which forces them to methodically drive the length of the field without making mistakes.

    That can be done against weak defenses, but not versus the Buckeyes. That should force Tennessee to lean on the run, but rush defense is also a strength for Ohio State. The Buckeyes allow just 2.9 yards per carry, and less than 100 rushing yards per contest.

    On the other side of the ball, the Vols defense is one of the few in the country that can give Ohio State problems. Tennessee ranks fourth nationally in havoc rate, a metric that measures tackles for loss, passes defended and fumbles forced.

    The Vols defense also grades out fourth overall per SP+, and fourth in points allowed at 13.9 per contest. Opponents are averaging only 282 yards of offense, while Jermod McCoy might be the answer to who’ll slow down Smith.

    McCoy has four picks and eight pass breakups this season, while enemy QB’s have a dismal 13.2 QBR when targeting receivers in his coverage. Tennessee grades out top-17 in both pass rush and coverage per Pro Football Focus, and force nearly two turnovers per game.

    Tennessee vs Ohio State Early Prediction

    Now that the CFP is set, the Buckeyes have fallen to fourth in the National Championship odds, while the Vols are seventh. Both programs are exceptional defensively, and points will be at a premium.

    In Tennessee’s three toughest roads games this season, they averaged 19 points. Their inability to produce explosive plays is concerning, as we can’t expect them to dink and dunk their way down the field successfully versus this Ohio State defense.

    The Buckeyes offense is an imposing unit, but they’re not immune to struggling either. As mentioned, they produced only 10 points versus Michigan, and only 20 points against Penn State. Both those defenses rank below Tennessee’s, which should give pause to bettors expecting a massive offensive output.

    • Tennessee vs Ohio State Early Pick: Under 47.5 (-110)

    NFL Week 15 ATS Pick #1: 49ers -2.5 (-110) Over Rams

    The Niners (6-7, 4-3 home, 5-8 ATS) have had a hard-luck season, battling significant injuries at every turn and suffering multiple late-game collapses. But against the odds, they still have a an outside chance to make the postseason. Brock Purdy and company ended a three-game losing streak in style last Sunday, stomping the Bears 38-13, and certainly didn’t look like a fatigued bunch playing out the string.

    The Rams are also coming off an impressive performance, edging out the Bills 44-42 at home and overcoming a record-setting day from Josh Allen in the process. But we’re still talking about a team with a -34 point differential going on the road to face a 49ers group that’s getting a bit healthier and was picked by 99% of pundits to repeat as NFC West champs. I expect the Week 15 NFL odds to move in San Francisco’s direction as the week goes on and will very gladly take the Niners laying less than a field goal.

    NFL Week 15 ATS Pick #2: Browns +7.5 (-155) Over Chiefs

    The Chiefs (12-1, 5-1 away, 5-8 ATS) are 6-1 straight-up in their last seven games but haven’t covered a single one of those games. They are scraping by on last-second field goals and stingy defense.

    That’s not to say Patrick Mahomes won’t put up a 40-burger sooner or later, but I seriously doubt this is going to be the week. First, it’s on the road against a supremely talented Cleveland defense. Second, temperatures are going to be near-freezing with rain in the forecast. It won’t be the whiteout that the Steelers and Browns played in a couple weeks ago, but the conditions certainly won’t be conducive to prolific air yardage, which is the easiest way to cover a big spread.

    The Browns (3-10, 2-4 home, 4-9 ATS) have an ugly win/loss record but have played reasonably well at home in the second half of the season. In their last four home games, they’re 2-2 straight-up with wins over Pittsburgh (24-19) and Baltimore (29-24), a close loss to Cincinnati (21-14), and a stinker against the Chargers (27-10).

    I’m betting this line up a 1.5 points to get over a TD and taking the Browns at a reasonable -155.

    NFL Week 15 ATS Pick #3: Panthers -3.0 (+120) vs Cowboys

    The Carolina Panthers (3-10, 2-5 home, 6-7 ATS) are arguably the most-improved team since the start of the season. They are only 2-3 straight-up over the last five weeks – including three straight losses – but 5-0 against the number. All three of those setbacks were one-score games against division-leading opponents: 30-27 vs Kansas City, 26-23 OT vs Tampa Bay, and 22-16 at Philadelphia. Think of Carolina as the anti-Chiefs. No matter the opponent, they’re putting up a decent fight.

    Dallas (5-7, 4-2 away, 4-8 ATS), meanwhile, has shown a surprising amount of fight over the last two weeks, stunning the Commanders in Washington (34-26) on Nov. 24 thanks largely to special-teams play, and then taking care of the lowly Giants (27-20) on Thanksgiving. But the Cowboys will be making a long road trip on a short week after hosting the Bengals on MNF in Week 14. Only three teams in the league has a worse ATS record than the disappointing Cowboys. I expect Dallas to lose on MNF tonight, which will de facto eliminate them from the NFL playoff bracket (if not mathematically), which will in turn lead to an ugly effort in Carolina six days later.

    It’s the Tigers’ first appearance in the CFP since 2020. Clemson won the national title in 2016 and 2018. This is Texas’ first season in the SEC. They have two losses, both to SEC champ Georgia.

    We’ve got everything you need to know about these two teams, including a breakdown of the early odds and a prediction for this first-round College Football Playoff encounter.

    Texas opened up as 10.5-point favorites, and that number had already ticked up a half point in the first 24 hours to 11 points at Caesars and DraftKings.

    The Longhorns are 7-6 against the spread and lost three of their last four games against the spread. Clemson is 6-6 against the spread (there was no posted line for their game with The Citadel). They’ve also lost three of its last four games against the number.

    When talking total, both of these teams have been a good under bet this season. Clemson is 4-8 over/under, while Texas is just 4-8-1. The last four Clemson games have all hit the under. The early posted total is 51.5.

    Looking at moneyline bets, best early value is Clemson +328 at Caesars and Texas -400 at BetMGM.

    Talking Tigers

    How did Clemson get here? Their 10-3 record isn’t impressive. They have losses to South Carolina and Louisville. The truth is Coach Dabo Swinney has built an opportunistic, tough team that is second in the nation in turnover margin at +16.

    Quarterback Cade Klubnik has thrown for 33 touchdowns and done so without a real 1A man as a wide receiver. His best look is probably tight end Jake Briningstool, who has set Clemson career records for a tight end with 123 catches and 17 touchdowns.

    Defensively, the Tigers – again – aren’t that impressive. They were 14th in the ACC against the run, and fourth in points allowed. TJ Parker has 11 sacks. Clemson has won games by forcing teams into mistakes and taking advantage. Klubnik doesn’t do one thing especially well, but he has no glaring weaknesses.

    Texas Two Step

    After a second loss to Georgia in the SEC championship game, there was some social media chatter questioning the Longhorns, who don’t have a win over a (current) Top 25 team.

    But remember, Texas clobbered Michigan early in the season (when we thought Michigan was good), and destroyed Texas A&M two weeks ago (when we thought A&M was good). Quarterback Quinn Ewers missed some games this season and fell off the early Heisman lists. He’s thrown for 2,665 yards and 25 touchdowns.

    Texas, for some reason, has turned back-up QB Arch Manning into some variation of Tim Tebow and is using him as a power runner.

    The strength of Texas is its defense. It ranked No. 2 in the nation in scoring, and was the No. 1 defense in the nation against the pass. Anthony Hill Jr. had 7.5 sacks and a team-high 90 tackles.

    Clemson vs Texas Early Prediction

    • Texas -10.5 (at FanDuel)
    • Under 51.5 (at FanDuel)

    Texas may have its faults, but it’s better than Clemson. The Texas defensive line will be all over Klubnik, and Clemson doesn’t have a game breaker at wide receiver. On the other side of the ball, Texas’ offense can sometimes seem pretty jumbled, but Clemson has had trouble stopping the run.

    Texas will pound the ball with Quintrevion Wisner. We like the under and could see Texas winning by a couple of touchdowns, like 24-7.

    Millions of Texans Attempting to Access Sports Betting https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/betting/millions-of-texans-attempting-to-access-sports-betting/ Mon, 09 Dec 2024 18:45:56 +0000 https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/?p=650021 GeoComply has blocked more than 4 million attempts by Texas residents to access legal online sportsbooks in other states.

    The post Millions of Texans Attempting to Access Sports Betting appeared first on Sports Betting Dime.

    ]]>
  • More than 1.48 million Texans attempted to log onto sports betting accounts in the state in November
  • GeoComply identified more than 177,000 online sports betting accounts in Texas
  • The number of online sports betting accounts increased by 87% from November 2023

  • Despite Texas not have legal sports betting, millions of residents in the Lone Star state are still attempting to access sports betting accounts.

    According to GeoComply, a geolocation compliance company, more than 1.48 million geolocation checks in November were made from devices located in Texas attempted to access legal online sportsbooks in other states, all of which were blocked.

    Additionally, the company identified more than 177,000 online sports betting user accounts located in Texas, an increase of 87% when compared with the number of accounts in November 2023.

    Texans Interested in Sports Betting, Lawmakers Are Not

    The data compiled from GeoComply was touted by the Texas Sports Betting Alliance as a key reason for the state legislature to put legalized sports betting up to a public vote in 2025. Texas lawmakers will open up their legislative session on Jan. 14, 2025 and sports betting legalization will likely be discussed again.

    GeoComply also provided geolocation check data for October and September, which saw 1.15 million and 1.1 million blocked checks, respectively. In the last three months nearly 4 million attempts were made by Texans to access sportsbooks in other states.

    “The data surrounding legalized sports betting in Texas underscores the immense potential for increased tax revenue, job creation, and economic benefits, plus important consumer protections for Texans from risky, unregulated black markets and the personal freedoms enjoyed by the vast majority of Americans. We’re urging the Texas Legislature to take action in January to let Texans play,” Lauren Clay, spokesperson for the Texas Sports Betting Alliance, said in a release.

    Despite interest from the public in sports betting, the Texas Senate still poses a huge roadblock to legalization in 2025. During the 2023 session, the Texas House of Representatives approved an online sports betting bill, as well as a bill to legalize through a constitutional amendment, for the first time in the state’s history.

    The victory was short lived, however, as it died a quick death in the Senate.

    Senate Republicans Not Interested

    Despite the House approving a sports betting bill, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who leads the Texas Senate, quickly threw cold water on any chance the bill would move ahead in his chambers.

    Patrick said there was no majority Republican support for sports betting and he would not bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate. There are 31 members in the Texas Senate and the bill needed 21 votes (two-thirds majority) for approval. In 2023, there were 12 Democrat Senators. If all voted for the bill, they’d just need nine Republican votes for two-thirds majority, right?

    Well, not exactly. Patrick will not bring a bill to the floor for a unless it has the support of 15 or 16 Republican Senators. If only nine Republican Senators are in favor of one of the bills, it becomes a “Democrat” led bill and Patrick won’t call it to the Senate floor for a vote.

    Patrick will still lead the Texas Senate in 2025 and likely will not change his stance on legalized sports betting.

    The Hoosiers are already 6-0 on their home court and every one of those six wins has come by at least 11 points. They haven’t played the most difficult home slate so far, but they do own lopsided wins over South Carolina (87-71), which ranks 68th at KenPom, and Providence (89-73), which ranks 81st. Both rate significantly better than Minnesota (111th) at this early stage of the season.

    It’s hard to find a single team in the nation that’s had a more disappointing start to the year than the Gophers. Returning leading scorer and rebounder Dawson Garcia (17.6 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.6 APG last season) from a team that went 19-15 overall and even won a game in the NIT, better things were expected for Minnesota in Ben Johnson’s fourth season at the helm. They finished last year rated 78th at KenPom and one spot higher at Torvik, and entered this season 66th at the former.

    They managed five wins in their first six games (all at home) with lone loss against #69 North Texas (54-51) but they have since lost three of their last four: 68-66 vs Wichita State (neutral), 57-51 vs Wake Forest (neutral), an 90-72 vs Michigan State (home). Their only win in that span was over #292 Bethune Cookman.

    The Gophers play slowly (362nd our 364 DI teams in tempo) and can’t shoot the three (29.7%, 294th in the nation), which has led to them being held under 60 points in four games already this season.

    No one is going to mistake Indiana for a national-championship contender after their first nine games, which include ugly losses to Gonzaga (89-73 neutral) and Louisville (89-61 neutral) but you also can’t argue with what the Hoosiers have done at home so far.

    Returnees Malik Reneau (15.4 PPG, 6.3 RPG) and Mackenzie Mgbako (15.3 PPG, 5.3 RPG), plus highly-coveted transfer center Oumar Ballo (12.7 PPG, 9.3 RPG) represent one of the most-formidable front lines in the nation. And the Hoosiers have managed to navigate their early home schedule flawlessly without that trio even rebounding the ball all that well. IU sits 137th in offensive-rebound percentage and 187th at the defensive end.

    Minnesota forward Dawson Garcia leads the point totals at 18.5 O/U. The senior is averaging a career-best 19.0 PPG through ten games but he’s only gone over 18.5 in one of Minnesota’s losses, and has averaged just 13.5 PPG in the Gophers’ quartet of setbacks.

    Reneau has the highest point total on the Indiana side at 15.5 while Ballo leads the rebound props at 9.5.

    Best Minnesota vs Indiana Odds

    Team Spread Moneyline Total
    Minnesota Golden Gophers +10.5 (-120) at ESPN Bet +425 at bet365 O 139.5 (-110) at bet365
    Indiana Hoosiers -9.5 (-115) at BetMGM -550 at Caesars U 140.5 (-115) at BetMGM

    The Minnesota vs Indiana odds show a decent range as of Monday afternoon. The spread is as high as 10.5 at ESPN Bet and as low as 9.5 at BetMGM.

    The best moneyline option on the Hoosiers is a hyper-short -550 at Caesars, while the longest odds on Minnesota winning straight-up are +425 at bet365.

    There is also a one-point range in the game total with bet365 on the low end at 139.5 with -110 odds both ways and BetMGM on the high end at 140.5 (U -115).

    Indiana is getting the vast majority of money in the college basketball public betting splits: IU has attracted 99% of moneyline handle and 92% of ATS handle despite the short odds and big spread.

    Navy’s Spread Option Causes Problems

    Navy has been a thorn in the side of opposing defenses this season, as they’ve transformed their offense into a potent spread-option attack. Navy runs the ball on over 75% of snaps, averaging 246.2 rushing yards per game on 5.5 yards per carry.

    Star quarterback Blake Horvath helms the Midshipmen attack. He’s thrown for 11 touchdowns and just four interceptions, and rushed for 895 yards and another 13 scores. Unfortunately, Horvath has been dealing with a rib injury since September, and aggravated that injury in November against Tulane. He’s questionable to suit up for Saturday’s Navy vs Army showdown.

    Navy’s defense hasn’t been as prophetic as their offense this season. Although, they do allow just 23.4 points per game. Unfortunately, the Midshipmen have also surrendered a gaudy 4.5 yards per rush, which could be their Achilles heel against the number-one rushing attack in the nation.

    Keep in mind, the Midshipmen are 7-3 ATS in their past 10 games. However, they’re just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 against Army.

    Army Looks to Put Stamp On Amazing Season

    The Army Black Knights enter this contest riding a wave of momentum. AAC Champions after going a perfect 9-0 in the conference, the 2024 season has been Army’s best in a generation. Their 11-1 record is the program’s best in the modern era.

    Quarterback Bryson Daily has rightfully been compared to Captain America. He’s blasted opposing defenses into submission all year, rushing for 1,480 yards and 29 touchdowns on 5.6 yards per carry. Daily added eight more touchdown passes through the air while leading the Black Knight’s dominant rushing attack.

    Army leads the FBS with 308.9 rushing yards per game, but they’re far more explosive this year and sit 30th while averaging 32.1 points per contest.

    The Black Knight’s defense has been unbelievable in 2024. Army are allowing just 15.7 points per game, and 5.1 points per play this season. They’ve been incredibly stout in the red zone, allowing opposing offenses to score a touchdown on just 58% of trip inside the 20.

    Intriguingly, the total has gone under in four of Army’s last six games.

    Navy vs Army Early Prediction

    Historically, the Army-Navy game has been a low-scoring affair, with the last four matchups averaging a total of 27.5 points. However, this year’s contest has the potential to buck that trend. Both teams are far more dynamic offensively than in years’ past.

    Ultimately, Army’s stellar defense will be able to contain Navy’s offense for long stretches, while their relentless rushing attack will wear down the Midshipmen over four quarters. With Horvath’s status up in the air, backing the Black Knight’s is the highest value early prediction.

    Early Navy vs Army Pick:

    • Army -5.5 (-115)

  • Two teams playing out the string meet on Monday Night Football in Week 14 when the Cincinnati Bengals visit the Dallas Cowboys
  • Defense has been at a premium in most Cincinnati games
  • Below, see a +105, three-leg Bengals vs Cowboys same-game parlay that banks on Joe Burrow having another big night

  • Neither the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8, 3-3 away, 6-6 ATS) nor Dallas Cowboys (5-7, 1-5 home, 4-8 ATS) is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs but it would take a miracle for either to crack the field and their Monday Night Football meeting on Dec. 9 (8:20 pm ET) will likely feature two rosters that have resigned themselves to a long offseason. That doesn’t mean we won’t see fireworks, though. Cincinnati is a neutral observer’s wet dream: all offense, no defense, and my Bengals vs Cowboys same-game parlay banks on Joe Burrow and company continuing to light-up the scoreboard.

    Bengals vs Cowboys Same-Game Parlay

    Pick Odds
    Joe Burrow Over 1.5 Pass TDs -184
    Alt. Total Over 41.5 -330
    Ja’Marr Chase Over 49.5 Receiving Yards -430
    CIN vs DAL SGP Odds +105

    All three legs of today’s Bengals/Cowboys SGP are -184 or shorter on their own, but all three together add-up to a +105 price tag.

    Bengals vs Cowboys SGP Pick #1: Burrow Over 1.5 Passing TDs

    The first leg is going to be the most difficult to achieve, at least based on the odds. But Joe Burrow has thrown multiple TD passes in nine of 12 games so far this season and leads the NFL with 30 through 12 games (2.5 TDs per game).

    Dallas’ secondary isn’t the weakest point of the Cowboy defense, but it isn’t one of the elite pass defenses in the NFL either. Playing on the fast track at AT&T Stadium, I love the chances of Burrow connecting with his star-studded receiving corps for multiple majors. I’m not in love with -184 odds, which carry an implied probability of 64.79, but that’s still a reasonable number based on Burrows numbers this year.

    CIN vs DAL Same-Game Parlay Pick #2: Over 41.5 Points

    Chris Amberley’s Bengals vs Cowboys prediction listed over 49.5 points as his best bet for the game. I’ve lowered that number to a miniscule 41.5 before including it as the second leg in tonight’s SGP. Each of Cincinnati’s last fives games has sailed over that number. Each of Cincinnati’s last four games has featured at least 61 points and have averaged 64.3 PPG.

    Dallas games have been considerably lower scoring than Cincinnati games this year, but even the low-scoring cowboys have had three straight games go over 44 points, and Cincinnati tends to dictate pace of play, for lack of a better term. The Bengal offense is as lethal as ever with Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown all healthy. They score fast and often, forcing opponents to keep up.

    And that’s where the uber-compliant Cincinnati defense comes into play. Only the Carolina Panthers (29.8 PPG) are giving up more points than the Bengals (28.3 PPG) this year. John Hyslop is confident enough in the porousness of the Cincinnati defense that he included Cooper Rush over 1.5 passing touchdowns in his best Bengals vs Cowboys player props.

    Bengals vs Cowboys SGP Pick #3: Ja’Marr Chase Over 49.5 Receiving Yards

    LSU alums Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson have separated themselves from the field as the top-two receivers in the NFL, and Chase has a chance to feast on a mediocre Dallas secondary tonight. I’ve kept his receiving-yards target at an extremely manageable 50 yards, a number he’s hit in 10 of 12 games this season, and which is barely half of his average receiving yards per game (95.2).
