UNC vs Michigan State prediction, picks, odds

North Carolina will bounce back tonight. They won’t lose two games in a row. How this game will look, that question is still up for debate. However, Hubert Davis will find a way to get the job done against Tom Izzo, whether that’s a second-half comeback or a full-game lead.

What channel is UNC vs. Dayton basketball on? Time, TV schedule for Monday matchup

Tuning into UNC’s Maui Invitational opener against Dayton? We have all the broadcast information for you here.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will get a taste of paradise Monday, kicking off their Maui Invitational slate with an 11:30 p.m. ET tip against the Dayton Flyers.

UNC (3-1) is hoping that its early, 87-69 Saturday victory over Hawai’i will help its cause against Dayton (5-0), with players less likely to be jet-lagged as a result.

The Flyers, on the other hand, haven’t played since a 74-53 victory over New Mexico State on Nov. 20. Dayton is playing exceptional basketball through the first month of college basketball, winning its first five games by fairly comfortable margins.

The Flyers overwhelmed Saint Francis (Pa.) in their 2024-2025 opener, won a pair of close games against Northwestern and Ball State, then beat Capital University (Ohio). Tonight will be Dayton’s first game outside of Ohio, though, so we’ll see if the lack of home court advantage plays a factor.

Re-visiting North Carolina’s early Saturday morning game, it pulled away from Hawai’i after a 41-34 first half. Elliot Cadeau shot nearly perfect from the field and finished with 17 points, RJ Davis led all scorers with 18 and Ian Jackson provided a needed bench boost with 11 points.

As tough an opponent the Rainbow Warriors were, the Flyers are even better. Dayton provided one of March Madness’ most memorable, Round of 64 games in March, erasing a massive comeback against Nevada and advancing to the next round.

If you’re celebrating turkey season in Hawai’i, enjoy your time in the warm, beautiful sun. If you’re watching on television like ourselves, make sure you read more below on what you need to know.

UNC at Dayton prediction, picks, odds

North Carolina 75, Dayton 71: The Tar Heels get yet another tough, early-season test tonight in the Flyers, who are off to a 5-0 start. UNC benefits in tonight’s game from playing on Saturday, while Dayton starts a little rusty. North Carolina will also be helped by the return of star freshman Ian Jackson, who played well against Hawai’i. The Tar Heels beat the Flyers in a close one.

Giants are now 6-point home underdogs vs. Buccaneers in Week 12

The New York Giants are now 6-point home underdogs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12.

The New York Giants (2-8) are currently listed as 6-point underdogs for their game this Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6).

That is up one full point from earlier in the week when the line opened at 5.

The over/under, which opened at 42 total points, is down a half-point to 41.5.

The money line is currently at Bucs -275, Giants +225, per BetMGM.

The Giants are coming off their bye week and are on a five-game losing streak. They are 0-5 at home this season and are 3-7 overall against the spread.

The Buccaneers are also coming off their bye and are on a four-game losing streak. They are 2-2 on the road this season and are 6-4 overall ATS.

The Buccaneers are averaging 27.9 points per game this season, fifth-highest in the league. The Giants are 32nd — dead last — in the league in scoring with an average of 15.6 PPG.

Seven of the Giants’ 10 games played this season have gone under the total. Seven of the 10 games played by Tampa Bay this season have gone over.

The Buccaneers are the only team to pin a loss on the 9-1 Detroit Lions this season. Their other wins have come over New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Washington.

The Giants’ two wins have come against Cleveland and Seattle, both on the road.

Latest odds for Rams vs. Eagles: Updated spread, over/under for Week 12

Check out the latest betting lines for Sunday’s game between the Rams and Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles come into Week 12 with three more wins than the Los Angeles Rams but plenty of people still expect Sunday’s matchup to be a close game. The oddsmakers, for one, don’t have the Eagles laying many points.

As of Friday morning, the Rams are only 3-point underdogs to the Eagles, according to BetMGM. That’s where the line was on Monday after Los Angeles’ win over the Patriots, so the spread hasn’t moved in the last several days.

The over/under has gone up by one point from 48 to 49.

All of this could change at least slightly if DeVonta Smith, who’s missed two practices this week, is ruled out for Sunday’s game. That might shift the spread and over/under by a half-point each.

Moneyline (ML)

  • Eagles -155 (bet $155 to win $100)
  • Rams +130 (bet $100 to win $130)

Against the spread (ATS)

  • Eagles -3 (-105)
  • Rams +3 (-115)

Over/Under (O/U)

  • 49 (O: -110 U: -110)

The Eagles have been favorites in eight of their 10 games this season and the two times they were underdogs (at Saints and at Bengals), they won outright. The Rams, meanwhile, have only been favorites four times. They’re 3-1 in those games but have only covered the spread twice as favorites.

Why Rams-Eagles could decide Defensive Rookie of the Year race

Jared Verse and Quinyon Mitchell will both be on the big stage Sunday night as they battle for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors

Defensive Rookie of the Year isn’t quite a two-man race with seven weeks to go, but it’s quickly becoming one. Rams edge rusher Jared Verse has been the odds-on favorite to win the award for several weeks and though he had been pulling ahead after recording 3.5 sacks in Weeks 8-10, Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell is closing the gap.

As of now, Verse is -190 to win Defensive Rookie of the Year at BetMGM. Mitchell is second at +320, with Laiatu Latu a distant third at +2000.

Even if he hasn’t spoken publicly about it, this is an award Verse would surely love to win. He can make a huge statement on Sunday night in a marquee matchup against Mitchell and the Eagles.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

This prime-time matchup could even decide the Defensive Rookie of the Year race between Verse and Mitchell.

Awards like this one aren’t cut-and-dry. There’s a human element beyond just looking at a player’s year-long statistics because, well, humans vote on the award.

It’s why a nationally televised game between the two favorites to win Defensive Rookie of the Year could determine whether it’s Verse or Mitchell hearing their name announced at the NFL Honors show in February as the top rookie of 2024.

If Verse goes out and has a multi-sack game like he did on Thursday Night Football against the Vikings in Week 8, he’ll solidify his place as the favorite. He’s been dominant all year and if he keeps that up under the bright lights at SoFi Stadium, voters will take notice.

On the other hand, if Mitchell locks up Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, it’s possible he’ll narrow the gap even more on Verse. He probably won’t overtake the Rams edge rusher this week, but it could become closer to a toss-up if he dominates and Verse struggles.

Barring a late-season surge from Latu, Braden Fiske, Kamari Lassiter or Cooper DeJean, Defensive Rookie of the Year is likely to come down to Verse and Mitchell. Sunday night’s game in Inglewood could help decide which one prevails as the top defensive rookie in football.

The world will be watching, including those voting on the award, so if there’s ever been a time for Verse to have a standout performance, that time is now.

Jared Verse and two other superstars are the only NFL players to accomplish this in 2024

Jared Verse and two other Defensive Player of the Year candidates are the only players in the NFL who can say they’ve done this

Jared Verse isn’t going to win Defensive Player of the Year as a rookie this season, but he’s off to an unbelievable start with the Los Angeles Rams – a start that has him in the company of two legitimate contenders for the coveted award.

Through 10 games, Verse has 4.5 sacks, 42 sacks, 11 tackles for a loss and 14 quarterback hits, stuffing the stat sheet just about each and every week. Pro Football Focus has graded him highly throughout the year, ranking him as one of the better defenders in the league.

According to PFF, there are only three players in the NFL this season with grades of 80 or better as a pass rusher and run defender: Verse, T.J. Watt and Dexter Lawrence.

Verse has a pass-rush grade of 82.0 and a run-defense grade of 85.5, which rank 21st and 14th, respectively, among all defenders with at least 382 snaps.

Watt is the favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year and Lawrence is tied for the third-best odds at BetMGM. Verse predictably isn’t even in the conversation because he’s a rookie who hasn’t racked up enough sacks for legitimate consideration, but he’s as well-rounded a defender as there is right now.

The Rams had high expectations for Verse when they drafted him 19th overall this year, but he’s been even better than anticipated through 10 games so far.

In a couple of seasons, he could be one of the top candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year the way Aaron Donald was early in his career.

Giants open as 5-point home underdogs vs. Buccaneers in Week 12

The New York Giants are listed as 5-point home underdogs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12.

The New York Giants (2-8) have opened as 5-point underdogs for their game this Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6).

The over/under opened at 42 total points with the money line currently at Bucs -250, Giants +190, per BetMGM.

The Giants are coming off their bye week and are on a five-game losing streak. They are 0-5 at home this season and are 3-7 overall against the spread.

The Buccaneers are also coming off their bye and are on a four-game losing streak. They are 2-2 on the road this season and are 6-4 overall ATS.

The Buccaneers are averaging 27.9 points per game this season, fifth-highest in the league. The Giants are 32nd — dead last — in the league in scoring with an average of 15.6 PPG.

Seven of the Giants’ 10 games played this season have gone under the total. Seven of the 10 games played by Tampa Bay this season have gone over.

The Buccaneers are the only team to pin a loss on the 9-1 Detroit Lions this season. Their other wins have come over New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Washington.

The Giants’ two wins have come against Cleveland and Seattle, both on the road.

Bookies not giving Browns any home-field advantage vs. Steelers

The Browns open as 3.5-point underdogs at home against their AFC North rival

As the Cleveland Browns return home looking for a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers on a short week, the betting bookies do not give them any sense of home-field advantage.

And to be honest, the Browns have not earned that advantage this season, sitting at 2-8 after an abysmal loss to the New Orleans Saints. According to BetMGM, the Browns open up as 3.5-point underdogs as they take on their AFC North rivals on Thursday Night Football.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Steelers, riding their high of defeating the Baltimore Ravens, now sit at 8-2 on the season. Quarterback Russell Wilson has taken their offense to new heights, and the Mike Tomlin-coached team continues to play like a Mike Tomlin-coached team.

The Browns do not have much to play for at this point besides getting young players looks to evaluate, and their 2025 NFL draft positioning. However, can they play spoilers along the way the rest of the way out?
