LSU-Arkansas line sticking at 17.5 points on Friday, per BetMGM

The odds continue to hold steady for the Tigers ahead of Saturday’s matchup.

It’s fairly typical to see betting lines move throughout the week, but the odds for LSU’s Week 4 matchup against Arkansas haven’t changed since they opened earlier this week.

According to BetMGM, LSU remains a 17.5-point favorite over the Razorbacks heading into Saturday’s home game after winning 41-14 in its SEC opener on the road against Mississippi State last weekend.

Arkansas, meanwhile, is looking to pull the upset after a disappointing result last weekend in which the team lost on its home field to BYU.

Here’s how all the betting odds look for Saturday night’s matchup in Death Valley as of 1 p.m. CT on Friday.

Arkansas +17.5
-110		 O 55.5
-105		 +600

NFL Week 3 best bets: One wager to make for every team

NFL Week 3 best bets: One wager to make for every team (including the #Bills):

Two weeks into the 2023 season, there have been a few surprises – including the Bengals, Vikings and Chargers all being 0-2, and three of the four NFC South teams sitting nicely at 2-0.

From a betting perspective, things typically get easier as the season progresses because teams begin to skew toward being either contenders or pretenders. But as we all know, betting is never easy.

Heading into Week 3, we’ve got one wager you should make on each team, from the Giants and 49ers on Thursday night to Rams-Bengals in the second game of a Monday night doubleheader.

All odds are courtesy of BetMGM unless otherwise noted:

LSU-Arkansas betting odds continue to hold steady on Thursday, per BetMGM

The Tigers are still a 17.5-point favorite as we near 48 hours from kick-off against the Razorbacks.

LSU opened the week as a 17.5-point favorite over the Arkansas Razorbacks in Week 4, according to BetMGM. It seems Vegas oddsmakers may have hit the nail on the head with that spread, as it has seen no changes as we approach the 48-hour mark from kick-off.

Not only has the point spread remained the same throughout the week, but the over/under and money line haven’t changed, either. LSU is holding steady as a three-score favorite against its border state rival.

Arkansas is a pretty hefty underdog in this game after dropping its first contest of the year last week in a 38-31 home loss against new Big 12 addition BYU.

Here are the latest odds from BetMGM, as of 1:30 p.m. CT on Thursday.

LSU -17.5

Oddsmakers: Bills a strong road favorite vs. Commanders

#Bills are the favorite vs. the #Commanders:

The Buffalo Bills’ journey through the 2023 season continues with another game which sees the team as a favorite.

For the third-straight game, Buffalo is the favorite heading into it according to BetMGM. The Bills have opened as a 6.5-point favorite, just under a touchdown, against the Washington Commanders.

So far in 2023, the Bills are an even split against the spread just like their 1-1 record.

Meanwhile, the 2-0 Commanders are also split.

While Washington did beat the Arizona Cardinals in their season opener, the Commanders did not cover their -7 spread. It was a 20-16 final. Last week as an underage vs. the Denver Broncos, Washington won outright, 35-33.

Still early in the 2023 season, it’s worth noting that the Bills were only 8-10 against the spread in all games last season.

The over/under for the contest is set at 43.5. The moneyline sits at Bills (-300) and Commanders (+230).

Still no change in LSU-Arkansas betting line on Wednesday

The line is holding steady this week for the Week 4 matchup against the Razorbacks.

LSU opened as a 17.5-point favorite against Arkansas in Week 4, according to BetMGM, and apparently, Vegas likes that line where it’s at.

We’ve seen no movement throughout the week on either the point spread, over/under or money line as LSU prepares for its first home game in SEC play against an Arkansas team that’s coming off its first loss of the season at home against BYU last weekend.

The Tigers looked much-improved in a 41-14 win over Mississippi State on Saturday, and they’ll hope that trend continues against a Razorbacks team that gave them issues in Fayetteville last year.

Here’s how the odds look as of 11:30 a.m. CT on Wednesday, per BetMGM.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Team Spread Total – O/U Money Line
Arkansas +17.5
-110		 O 55.5
-105		 +600
LSU -17.5
-110		 U 55.5
-115		 -900

LSU-Arkansas betting odds see no movement in Tuesday update, per BetMGM

The Tigers remain a 17.5-point favorite over the Razorbacks as of Tuesday.

LSU opened the week as a 17.5-point home favorite against rival Arkansas, which is reeling after a disappointing 38-31 home loss against BYU.

The Tigers, meanwhile, are coming off an absolute beatdown on the road against Mississippi State in their SEC opener, which they won 41-14. LSU had several starters unavailable in that game, most of whom are expected to play on Saturday.

On paper, it doesn’t look like a great matchup for the Razorbacks, and despite the big spread on the game entering the week, the odds saw no movement on Tuesday.

Here are the latest odds for the game as of 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday, per BetMGM.

Team Spread Total – O/U Money Line
Arkansas +17.5
-110		 O 55.5
-110		 +600
LSU -17.5
-110		 U 55.5
-110		 -900

Jayden Daniels sees bump in Heisman odds after big game against Mississippi State

Jayden Daniels’ stellar performance on Saturday improved his Heisman odds.

LSU quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] entered the 2023 season with the second-best Heisman odds behind defending winner Caleb Williams.

His candidacy seemingly went up in smoke after a tough outing in a loss to Florida State, but Daniels sent a reminder on Saturday that he’s still one of the most dynamic players in the entire country.

After a career day in the win over Mississippi State, Daniels has seen a bump in his Heisman odds, per BetMGM. He currently sits in a tie with Oklahoma’s Dillon Gabriel for the ninth-best odds at +3000.

Williams, Michael Penix Jr. and Quinn Ewers currently lead the way.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Daniels was incredibly efficient on Saturday, completing 30 of 34 passes for 361 yards and two touchdowns while adding two more touchdowns and 64 yards on the ground. With more performances like that, you can expect Daniels’ odds will continue to improve.

Best prop bets for Cardinals-Giants in Week 2

Jess Root gives the best prop bets you can wager for the Cardinals’ Week 2 game against the Giants.

The Arizona Cardinals take on the New York Giants Sunday in Week 2 at State Farm Stadium. Both teams seek their first win. Both struggled offensively last week. The Cardinals lost 20-16 and gained only 210 yards. Their only touchdown was scored by the defense.

The Giants lost 40-0 last week on Sunday night.

Entering this matchup, the Giants are favored.

There are a few prop bets from BetMGM Sportsbook that you should consider to win a few bucks.

Saints favored to beat the Panthers in a low-scoring Week 2 bout

Saints favored to beat the Panthers in a low-scoring Week 2 bout | @DillySanders

The New Orleans Saints are favored to beat the Carolina Panthers in Week 2, but not by much. The oddsmakers at BetMGM have the Saints favored by 3 points, with an over/under set at just 39 — one of the lower points totals of Week 2. That implies a final score of New Orleans 21, Carolina 17.

At the time of publishing the spread was set at -165; that means a $100 wager on a New Orleans win would return $160.61.

It makes sense to not expect a ton of points in this game with the defenses being the highlight of both teams. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young will make his home debut with the Saints coming off of just a 16-point performance in their season opening win.

We’ll see what bettors are thinking and track changes in the line throughout the week. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. CT on Monday, Sept. 18.
