NFL Preseason Week 2 Pick- Tampa Bay Bucs at Jacksonville Jaguars

Jaguars Football

The Bucs Look to Contend in NFC South in 2017



This Thursday’s NFL preseason action features a battle between two Florida teams. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to the East Coast of the state to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a featured matchup on ESPN. BetAnySports opened Jacksonville as a two-point home favorite. The total line for this 8 p.m. start at EverBank Field was set at 41. The line has swung an amazing 4.5-points and the Buccaneers are now favored by 2.5-points. The total has also been bet down to 40.

Tampa Bay went 9-7 last season. That was both straight-up and against the spread on BetAnySports’ closing line. That still failed to secure a playoff spot in the rugged NFC. The bar has been raised for this season in the wide-open NFC South. The Bucs have quite a few weapons on the offensive side of the ball. The Buccaneers added veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson. They selected tight end OJ Howard in the first round of the draft.

While third-year quarterback Jameis Winston saw little action in last Friday’s 23-12 loss to Cincinnati, he still managed to complete 9-of-13 passing attempts for 99 yards. Backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick scored Tampa Bay’s first touchdown of the preseason on a six-yard run in the second quarter to give his team an early 9-3 lead. Mike Evans appeared to be in regular season form with a team-high four receptions for 58 yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars Look for 2-0 Start to Preseason



The Jaguars took a big step backwards in 2016 with a SU record of 3-13, but they were still above .500 ATS at 9-7. They got this year’s preseason off to a solid start with last Thursday’s 31-24 victory against the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots. They closed as three-point road underdogs and the total went well OVER BetAnySports’ closing 39.5-point total line. Going back to Week 2 of last preseason, Jacksonville actually lost to Tampa Bay 27-21 as a three-point favorite at home.

This year’s matchup should feature a bit more playing time for each team’s starters so we should get a better look at Jaguars’ starting quarterback Blake Bortles after he completed 3-of-5 passes for 16 yards in last week’s game. Rookie first round pick Leonard Fournette made his debut last week and the former LSU running back rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. He will not play against Tampa Bay on Thursday due to a minor foot injury.

You should be able to get a better feel for which direction each of these teams is heading early in this game, but the final score will still be decided in the second half by backups. Go with the Buccaneers minus the two points on the road as the better all-around team.

Boxing Odds: McGregor’s Odds vs. Mayweather Get Even Shorter

Mayweather vs. McGregor

Mayweather Odds Keep Falling



The action is still rolling in on Conor McGregor. His August 26 superfight in Las Vegas with Floyd Mayweather Jr is right around the corner. At press time, the UFC Lightweight champion is available at +350 odds. That is down from +375 last week. Odds +950 when they first hit the board at Bovada Sports. Mayweather, the former boxing champion in five different divisions, is priced at –500.

The props market for Mayweather vs. McGregor has also picked up steam. Bovada has more than 34 ways to bet on the big fight. You can now wager on either fighter scoring a knockdown in any of the 12 rounds. McGregor is +1700 to knock down Mayweather in Round 1. The Irshimans' odds get longer from there.  "Moneys" odds peaks at +450 to score a knockdown in Round 5, Round 6, and Round 7.

You’ll also find fresh totals on how many knockdowns there will be on August 26, and how many punches McGregor will land on the night; the Irish superstar is looking at an over/under of 29.5 punches, with the over favored at –130. According to the CompuBox stats, Andre Berto landed 83 punches when he lost a 12-round decision to Mayweather in the latter’s 2015 “retirement” fight.

How Long Will Mayweather & McGregor Last?



It seems unlikely that the upcoming August 26 superfight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Connor McGregor will go the distance. At press time, there are more than 30 different ways you can bet on the round total at Bovada Sports; if this fight does go the full 12 rounds, it will pay off at +160.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor props market also has totals on the board for each possible number up to 11.5 rounds, where the under is favored at –210. Any stoppage before Round 8 has the over ahead on the odds board, all the way up to –5000 for Round 1. During the promotional tour, McGregor said he would knock Mayweather out inside four rounds, but the over is priced at –400 for Round 4.

McGregor (21-3, 18 KOs in MMA) is still available at +600 on the “Inside 4 Rounds” special, which will pay out if the UFC Lightweight champ scores any kind of victory within that timeframe. The popular Irishman is +1600 to win in Round 4 exactly. Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) is +400 to win inside the first four rounds, compared to +275 in Round 5-8 and +350 for a later stoppage.

McGregor’s Odds Improve vs. Mayweather

Mayweather vs. McGregor

Mayweather Odds Keep Falling Against McGregor



When the odds first hit the board for the August 26 superfight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor, the reigning UFC Lightweight champion was a heavy +950 underdog. It didn’t take long for McGregor to move down to +400. The Irish sensation is even shorter now at +375. Mayweather is now available at –550.

McGregor Has Something to Prove



McGregor fans appear to be delighted with how his training camp has unfolded. Former junior welterweight and welterweight champ Paulie Malignaggi was brought in to spar with McGregor. Malignaggi gave McGregor an intense 12-round session. It saw Malignaggi either knocked down or pushed to the ground in physical combat. Clips from that session have been carefully selected to make McGregor look stronger.

While it’s true that McGregor has never fought an officially recognized boxing match inside the squared circle. There is no doubting his knockout power. It has been put on display multiple times inside the Octagon. The charismatic Irishman has won 18 of his 24 lifetime MMA fights by knockout. He has only gone to the judges’ score cards twice. McGregor has also never been knocked out himself, suffering all three of his losses via submission.

Knocking out Mayweather will be a bit more difficult with 10-ounce boxing gloves instead of the four-ounce MMA gloves McGregor is used to wearing. Both fighters have stated their preference for wearing eight-ounce gloves when they meet August 26, but the Nevada State Athletic Commission is sticking with their rule that fighters above 135 pounds must use the 10-ounce gloves. Mayweather vs. McGregor is being fought at junior middleweight (154 pounds).

Mayweather May Be Too Cocky



There hasn’t been as much news coming out of the Mayweather camp. He did recently show off a lean physique while relaxing at the REHAB Beach Club in Las Vegas. Rumor has it that MMA star Nate Diaz could be part of Mayweather’s entourage on August 26. Diaz is the last and only person to defeat McGregor (9-1 UFC, seven KOs) inside the Octagon, although he lost their 2016 rematch by majority decision.

There are currently 49 different ways you can bet on Mayweather-McGregor, including the “Inside 4 Rounds” special, based on McGregor’s prediction that he’ll knock Mayweather out before the start of the fifth round. The odds on McGregor winning by any means inside four rounds are +600, while any other result is the prohibitive favourite at –1200. McGregor is also +600 to KO Mayweather at any point.

NFL Preseason Week 1 Free Pick- Houston at Carolina

Carolina Panthers NFL Preseason Football

NFL Preseason Brings QB Questions for Texans



The Houston Texans kickoff the first full week of action in the NFL preseason with a road game against the Carolina Panthers. The Wednesday night game is the featured matchup on the NFL Network. BetAnySports opened the Panthers as three-point favorites. The total was opened at 36. After a couple of weeks of betting, the line now has the Panthers as 1-point favorites. The total is now up to 38.

The big question for Houston heading into this preseason opener is which quarterback on its current roster will line up under center. Early September is when the games start counting for real, and it is not far away. The Texans drafted former Clemson standout Deshaun Watson with the 12th overall pick in the 2017 draft. He may have to wait a bit to take his place as the team’s quarterback of the future. Tom Savage is still holding the top spot on the depth chart. Houston also has quarterback Brandon Weeden on its roster.

The Texans have been able to win the AFC South Division the last two years. They won it with a record of 9-7 both seasons. Their projected win total this season has been set at 8.5. Moneyline odds set at -110 for both the UNDER and the OVER. Houston is a slight +200 favorite to win this division again in 2017. They are followed by Indianapolis with +220 betting odds. Last year the Texans went 2-8 against the spread when closing as an underdog.

Panthers Look to Improve During NFL Preseason



Carolina slipped all the way to 6-10 last season after making a run all the way to the Super Bowl back in 2015 after going 15-1 straight-up in the regular season. The Panthers were 6-8-2 ATS overall in 2016 and they went 3-4-1 ATS on their home field. Their projected win total for this season stands at nine games with the betting odds slightly favoring the OVER at -115. Carolina’s betting odds to win the NFC South are set at +225 as the second favorite behind Atlanta (+155).

There is no quarterback controversy in Carolina with a healthy Cam Newton back under center, but it remains to be seen how much action he will see on Wednesday night. Panthers’ fans will be more interested in watching first round pick Christian McCaffrey run the ball in an effort to take some of the pressure off Newton as the center piece of this offense.

I would lay the one-point with BetAnySports in this game and take Carolina. While the actual results do not count in the standings, I get the feeling that the Panthers would like get things started on a winning note after a very disappointing 2016 campaign.

Roughriders and BC Lions Kick Off Home and Home

BC Lions

BC Lions Looking for 5th Win



The fans at BC Place will see the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the British Columbia Lions on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 7 pm EST. The first meeting of 2017 between the Riders and the BC Lions is also the first of back to back games between the two teams. This could be a significant early-season turning point.

Oddsmakers have the BC Lions as a 7-point favorite. The total is at 55.5.

British Columbia was a 37-26 loser in its last match on the road against the Edmonton Eskimos. They failed to cover the +2.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 63 sent OVER bettors to the payout window. BC battled back from an early 14-point deficit. They tied the game up midway through the third quarter. Eskimos QB Mike Reilly rushed for two short touchdowns in the final quarter to pull away from the Lions.

BC quarterback Travis Lulay completed 22-of-26 passes for 259 yards with two passing touchdows. He also had a rushing major, and two interceptions.  The 33-year-old veteran will get his third straight start on Saturday. Lulay’s offense will get a boost as Chris Williams is set to make his season debut for the Lions. BC’s prized off-season acquisition has been recovering from a knee injury. Williams finished 2016 with 1,246 receiving yards despite being sidelined for the REDBLACKS’ final four games

Riders are Trying to Gain Momentum



The Roughriders are coming off of a big win. They got past the Toronto Argonauts 38-27 last week. Saskatchewan trailed by four heading into the fourth quarter. They outscored the Argos 18-3 to solidify the victory.

The Riders’ offence proved to be too much for Toronto. Kevin Glenn put on a show in front of the home crowd. He completed 24 of 37 passes for 340 yards and four touchdowns. Duron Carter was on the receiving end of two of those tosses.  He led all receivers with 131 yards on nine catches. Bakari Grant also had an great day. He racked up 115 yards on just five catches. The Riders’ ground game was just as solid. Cameron Marshall rushed for 110 yards.

Astros Host Blue Jays Saturday Night

Houston Astros Baseball

Altuve Back in Lineup for Astros



The Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros will battle on Saturday at Minute Maid Park. Astros manager A.J. Hinch gave All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve the day off on Friday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hinch remains adamant that his top players need occasional days off. This is to lessen the potential for injuries from overwork. Altuve played in 105 of the Astros' 108 games before this scheduled rest.

Altuve is hitting .365 with 16 home runs and 62 RBIs. He was named American League Player of the Month this week. He recorded his 20th three-hit game on Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. Altuve leads the majors in batting and has 151 hits.

The Blue Jays will pin their hopes on the pitching of right hander Marco Estrada in this game. Estrada has a 4-7 record and a 5.19 ERA this season.

It'll be Charlie Morton toeing the rubber for the Astros in this contest. Right hander Morton is 9-4 with a 3.77 ERA so far this season.

Oddsmakers opened the Astros as -160-moneyline favorites versus the Blue Jays, while the game's total opened at 9.5. The line is now Houston -170 on the moneyline. The total is now at 9.

Houston was a 16-7 winner in the opener of this series. Bettors on Houston at -161 on the moneyline collected their winnings from that game, while the total score (23) sent OVER bettors home happy as well.
