You know what today is, it’s Football Friday! We have a ton of betting information for you to digest in the NFL and college football.
That’s not all, as we have betting news from Thursday evening and various tidbits about Tom Brady. Also, review a full weekend of free picks and top trends in a variety of sports.
Finally, an NBA matchup tonight that has fascinating line movement and one of our favorite sports commercials from yesteryear!
The bad news just keeps piling up for Tom Brady and Tampa Bay, losing 27-22 to Baltimore after being “steamed” to -2.
Brady has lost three straight for the first time in two decades, and for the first time ever, a team he is the quarterback for is two games below .500. The only good news for the Bucs and Brady, they are in the NFC South in 2022.
If you had Virginia Tech vs. N.C. State over 39, at halftime, you could not have been more sullen with the score being 0-0. You probably turned the channel, wrote it off as a loser, and cursed at yourself for making such a pick.
However, as we have seen time and again, they only collect or pay out on those bets when the games are legally completed, and both offenses awoke and scored 43 points in just 22.5 minutes and you had a comfortable winner with time to spare, with the Wolfpack a 22-21 winner. Now about that person who had the under…..
Florida and Toronto both lost as -200 or higher road favorites.
After this many days into the season, big favorites are off to their worst start in 17 years. What gives?
The Brooklyn Nets fell to 1-4 SU and ATS losing in OT to Dallas 129-125 as three-point underdogs. KD and Kyrie are scoring 55.5% of the Nets’ points, and defensively they are 28th in points allowed and 26th in field goal percentage defense.
Brooklyn’s record will improve against lesser competition but no certainty Brooklyn will have real improvement any time soon.

Just when it looked like the Cincinnati Bengals might be returning to last year’s form, the news broke yesterday that star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has a hip injury, meaning he’ll miss at least the next four games going on the IL.
A big blow to the Bengals.
The winless L.A. Lakers are back where they were originally born, in Minnesota tonight, trying to find a W.
The Lakers are the “Gang That Can’t Shoot Straight”, converting on just 41.7% of all attempts and at 22.3% from behind the arc, both of which are last in the NBA.
The Purple and Gold are +7 or +7.5 point road underdogs depending on the sportsbook and are a mess.
Gisele Bündchen just filed for divorce against Tom Brady.
According to Darren Rovell, “Tom Brady is now 2-14 against the spread in his last 16 night games, failing to cover the spread by 8.1 points per game.”
Note: If you have read this regularly during the college football season, you probably noticed the differences have gotten smaller.
This is what happens when the oddsmakers develop sharper numbers as the season goes along. It happens every year at about this time.
Following the top bets was 14-7 last week.
This writer thought it was a brilliant move to start Aaron Nola in Game 1 of the World Series.
If the Phillies lose, they come back with ace Zack Wheeler in Game 2, and if they win, they will have a shot at a road sweep. Let’s see how it plays out.
FYI: Houston Justin Verlander starts for Houston tonight, and did you know he is 0-6 with a 5.68 ERA in seven World Series starts? Now you do.
Do you know who these two Hall of Fame pitchers are in this commercial?
Interesting contest in the NBA tonight with New Orleans at Phoenix. The Suns opened at -6 and were beefed up to -7, and just over 60% of bets made are on the favorite.
Where things get goofy is 85% of the cash in on the Pelicans. Weird, right? What are you thinking about this matchup?
Let’s get some winners! Have a perfect weekend and we will see you back here Monday!
