You have bad defenses, then you have the UCLA defense. There seems to be a systemic failure on that side of the ball. Recent neglect in this area has created this dreary period in the history of this defense, where they are out-manned and out-performed at nearly every turn. Is this fact enough to take a hard look at Utah -10? Loot Levinson gives his football pick.
The Rams are better. That much we know. They’re a playoff team and the Broncos probably aren’t. At the same time, Mile High isn’t an easy place to play. This is a tough patch for the Rams, in the second of three straight road games. So which factors should matter most to bettors in our week 6 pick?
When a team that can’t buy a win is suddenly in every game, covering spreads, while getting close games to fall in their favor, it deserves a hard look. Volatility is less of a factor and opposing teams need to take them seriously. That’s reflected in the 1 point spread where the Browns are even technically the favorite at a couple betting sites.
The season is shaping up a bit better for USC after a rough start. Winning a pair of conference games leading into an off-week should help get this team’s confidence level where it needs to be. Granted, a lot hasn’t worked out so far as there have been a bunch of mistakes, and only one cover ATS. There is the element of upside with this being a young team learning with every play. Loot Levinson looks at the Trojans current position and if they should be able to cover the -7 spread versus an undefeated Colorado team..
Oregon enters this game coming off the break, which was proceeded by a big 42-24 win over a then-unbeaten Cal team. The week before that featured an overtime-loss to Stanford. Oregon has proven to be a dangerous team for whoever they face as evident by the +3.5 spread. But is it enough points to make it a value play versus Washington?
Those who saw the San Diego State Aztecs in their week one flop to Stanford might find this hard to believe… Their defense has really been the key part of this 4-game win streak! Will they have enough resistance to cover the 10 spot versus Army? Loot Levinson is your handicapper with the analysis.
The Arizona Wildcats are in Salt Lake City on Friday for a Pac-12 Conference matchup against the Utah Utes. Both teams were successful in-conference last week. Arizona was able to beat Cal at home, 24-17, as a big second half enabled them to get the win as well as the cover. Utah is also starting to show signs of a competitor, coming off one of the more surprising results in a 40-21 road win over Stanford. Which 3 win team is most equipped to handle an ATS win in week 7? Loot Levinson breaks down the game and gives his football prediction.
UFC 229 includes the biggest career fights for both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. But I suppose every next fight is your biggest when you have an undefeated record like Khabib or the legacy of Conor. With big sporting events comes big prop bet menus. Loot Levinson breaks down the prop markets that almost every sportsbook should be offering.
Deontay Wilder defends his WBC World Heavyweight Title against former Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury in Los Angeles on December 1. This is a huge fight to end the year. Sportsbooks are flirting with making Wilder a 2-1 favorite. He currently sits at -175.
Last season, the Niners were flat on their backs until Jimmy G showed up and immediately put the Niners on the right path. Without him, it’s only fair to wonder if we’ll see the same team we saw early last season. Sportsbooks are hanging a -10 on the Chargers. For those of us who backed San Fran last year, it doesn’t feel like enough. Do the Chargers have the killer instinct to put a hobbled Niner team down?
