Don’t miss the game! #GoBlue

The Michigan Wolverines take their show on the road for the first time in the 2024 college football season in a 2023 national championship rematch against the Washington Huskies.

A long-awaited game in Seattle that was originally scheduled for 2020, now the maize and blue will take on U-dub in the two storied teams’ first-ever meeting as Big Ten Conference foes. It will be Alex Orji’s third start and one where Michigan will certainly need to get some production from him in the passing game.

Here’s how to watch the Michigan football game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:

Auburn has 8.8% chance to beat Georgia on Saturday

Auburn’s first road game of the season will provide them with a challenge according to ESPN analytics.

Auburn football’s five-game home stretch is officially complete, and the Tigers leave Jordan-Hare Stadium for the next month with a 2-3 record following a heartbreaking 27-21 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Heading into a giant road trip, ESPN does not have a good feeling that Auburn will succeed in the month of October, starting with Saturday’s matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.

The ESPN Football Power Index and matchup predictor shows the Tigers to only have an 8.8% chance to take down Kirby Smart’s squad in Athens. Auburn has not had luck in Sanford Stadium as of late, having not won there since 2005.

According to ESPNBet, the current spread shows a -24-point favorite towards the Bulldogs, with an over/under set at 52.5. Those numbers indicate a dominating performance from Georgia’s offense, trying to once again dominate the Tigers for another year.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a devastating loss after their comeback efforts fell short against Alabama in Tuscaloosa, but shockingly, they rank just below Auburn in both total offense and points per game.

Georgia has some struggles on defense as well, ranking No. 14 in the SEC in rush defense, giving up 126.3 yards per game in that category. On the flip side, its pass defense is superb, just giving up 162 yards on average (No. 5).

The newest edition of “The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CST at Sanford Stadium, and will be broadcast on ABC.

Where do LSU’s College Football Playoff odds stand after Week 5?

Here’s where LSU football’s playoff odds stand after Week 5.

After an opening loss that dented LSU’s playoff hopes, the Tigers are 4-1 entering the bye week. Every goal LSU entered the year with is still on the board, from a conference title appearance to a playoff appearance.

The next few weeks will be telling in that regard, but where does LSU stand now?

According to ESPN’s FPI, LSU has a 14.5% shot at making the playoff. That’s a steady increase from where it was a few weeks ago. As for winning the conference, FPI gives LSU a 1.6% shot at taking home the SEC title.

When it comes to the actual odds, LSU sits at +350 to make the playoff at BetMGM. That’s tied with Kansas State and just behind Texas A&M at +300.

Those odds aren’t great but LSU is still in the hunt. We’ll know a lot more next week after LSU takes on Ole Miss. Despite the Rebels’ recent loss to Kentucky, it’s one of the toughest games on LSU’s schedule. A win could catapult LSU into the AP top 10 and enter the Tigers in the national discussion.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

If LSU wins that one, the challenge becomes avoiding letdowns at Texas A&M and Arkansas.

LSU remains in a decent spot, but the playoff odds reflect the tough road ahead.

Dolphins open as 1-point underdogs vs. Patriots in Week 5

Oddsmakers are expecting a low-scoring game between struggling offenses when the Dolphins face the Patriots.

The anemic Miami Dolphins offense hasn’t found success since losing Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion. But the team with the fewest offensive yards through the first month of the year is the New England Patriots.

With Jacoby Brissett at quarterback and No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye watching from the sideline, the Patriots have averaged 13 points and 238.8 yards per game. The Dolphins are averaging 11.3 points and 285 yards, although that’s buoyed by the 20 points and 400 yards they put up in Week 1.

If you’re looking for betting odds on the Dolphins’ upcoming game against the Patriots, we’ve got you covered. The following lines for the spread, money line and over/under are from BetMGM, giving you an idea of how the oddsmakers think the game will go.

What channel is Michigan vs Minnesota on today? Time, TV schedule for Week 5 game

Don’t miss the game! #GoBlue

Michigan football is set to start quarterback Alex Orji for the second straight game, and Saturday provides another test for the Wolverines to further cement their identity.

Last week, the maize and blue asserted themselves on the ground, finally looking like they had a year ago in many regards, running with impunity. One big difference was apparent, however — the lack of the passing game with Orji going 7-for-12 for 32 yards.

Minnesota comes to town for the battle for the Little Brown Jug, the oldest rivalry trophy in all of college football. The Gophers are stout against the pass thus far but have been weak against the run. Will the Wolverines continue running or will they attempt the forward pass?

Here’s how to watch the Michigan football game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:

Michigan vs Minnesota predictions, picks, odds

Michigan X-factor: Michigan should be able to continue running on offense but we’ll see how it factors against Minnesota’s run game. Last year, the Gophers managed to gain 114 yards on the Wolverines, which had been equally as proficient at stopping the run a year ago as they are now.

Packers open as 2.5-point favorite against Vikings in Week 4

The betting line for Packers-Vikings in Week 4 is -2.5 Packers, suggesting sportsbooks believe Jordan Love will return on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers opened as a 2.5-point favorite against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4, according to odds from BetMGM.

The line suggests that sportsbooks believe Jordan Love will return from a two-game absence and start against the unbeaten Vikings at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

The over/under is 43.5 points, which also suggests Love will return. The over/under for Packers-Titans last week was 37.

Love practiced in a limited capacity all last week but was inactive for Sunday’s win over the Titans. He will be over three weeks post-injury by kickoff on Sunday. Malik Willis started each of the last two weeks, including a dominant 30-14 win in Tennessee last Sunday.

Unless the line moves, this week will be the first time the Packers are betting favorites this season. They were 2-point underdogs in Week 1 (at PHI), 2.5-point underdogs in Week 2 (vs. IND) and 3.0-point underdogs in Week 3 (at TEN). Matt LaFleur’s team has won back-to-back games as underdogs with Willis under center.

The Vikings have also won as underdogs each of the last two weeks. They closed as 4-point underdogs against the 49ers and 1.5-point underdogs against the Texans.

One betting note: The under has hit on all three of the Vikings wins this season.

More information on Love’s playing status might not be known until later in the week. The Packers will release an initial injury report on Wednesday and a final injury report — with status designations — on Friday. It’s possible Love will be limited all week and questionable to play come Friday.

Cowboys open as 5.5-point favorites on road for NFL Thursday Night Football vs Giants

The Dallas Cowboys will not have time to lick their wounds, nor will the New York Giants have time to celebrate their first win. After playing on Sunday, the two teams will have to prep on an accelerated schedule as they are aligned to square off on …

The Dallas Cowboys will not have time to lick their wounds, nor will the New York Giants have time to celebrate their first win. After playing on Sunday, the two teams will have to prep on an accelerated schedule as they are aligned to square off on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 4.

The Cowboys might be happy to be able to get on the road, as the home schedule has not been kind to them. Dallas opened up the season with a dominant road win over Cleveland but has been dominated two weeks in a row at AT&T Stadium. The Giants started with a home loss, then split back-to-back road games. For the Cowboys, this will kick off their NFC East slate of six games, while the Giants have already lost to the Washington Commanders and are at risk of falling to 1-2 in the division.

Here’s a look at how BetMGM sees the matchup early on in the week.

Relying on Bet MGM’s odds, the Cowboys are road favorites. Many people feel that home-field advantage is an automatic three points before a spread is adjusted for the quality of the team. That isn’t always the case. Based on historical trends, some team’s home-field advantage is adjusted up or down.

When reading spreads, the team that is favored is referred to as “giving points.” The Cowboys are 5.5-point favorites, so in order to win a bet Dallas has to win by at least six points.

The Giants are referred to as +5.5.

The Giants were +1 home underdogs in their opener and lost to the Minnesota VIkings by 22. They were +1.5 road underdogs in Week 2 to the Washington Commanders and lost by 3. They were +6.5 road underdogs in Week 3 to the Cleveland Browns and won by six. The Giants are 1-2 against the spread.

The Cowboys were +1 road underdogs in their opener and beat the Browns by 16.  They were 6.5-point favorites at home over the Saints and lost by 25. On Sunday, Dallas was +1.5 and lost by three. The Cowboys are 1-2 against the spread.

The Over/Under is the guesstimate of the total amount of points to be scored by both teams.

For instance if the final score of Thursday’s game ends up being 23-20, then an Under bet would win because 43 total points were scored. If the final score was 24-20, then the Over bet would win based on a total of 44 points being scored.

The Giants have been under in each of their three games. Week 1 was set at 42 but the combined total was 34. Week 2 was set for 43 and the combined score was 39. Week 3 was set for 38 and still they couldn’t reach it, with the Giants and Browns combining for 36 points.

As for Dallas, they’ve blown the O/Us out of the water. Week 1 was expected to be a defensive struggle, but they and the Browns combined for 50 points, 8.5 above the 41.5 water level. In Week two the O/U was set for 47 and the teams combined for 63 total points. In Week 3 the O/U was 47.5 and Dallas and Baltimore combined for 53 points.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Money Line is a simple win-or-lose bet. If someone thinks one team will win, but they don’t want to give or take any points, they bet on them “straight up.” Dallas’ moneyline is -225. The Giants’ moneyline is +185.

If someone bets on a favorite the ML will be negative, an underdog, positive. All bets are spoken of in terms of wagering an even $100.

A bet of $225 on Dallas to win outright would result in getting that back, plus winning an additional $100.

If someone were to wager $100 on the Giants, then they would get their $100 back, plus $185 in profit.

NFL best bets: Anytime TD scorers in Cardinals-Lions

Some bets on anytime TD scores you should consider.

The Arizona Cardinals take on the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon in Week 3. It could be a game with a few touchdowns between the two teams.

Who are the best bets for anytime touchdown scorers?

Here are my picks for the best bets, with odds coming from BetMGM Sportsbook.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

NFL best bets Week 3: Anytime TD scorers in Lions-Cardinals

Cardinals RB James Conner (-120)

He has scored a touchdown in seven straight games, dating back to last season. It’s not a great pick, but it should be easy money.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (+130)

He had two touchdowns last week and was targeted two other times in the end zone.

Cardinals TE Elijah Higgins (+700)

He scored last week and, with questions at right tackle, we should expect to see a lot of multiple tight end sets.

Detroit Defense/Special teams (+550)

Since the Cardinals might have a third-string right tackle trying to block Aidan Hutchinson, a strip sack that is picked up and returned for a touchdown isn’t a bad bet for the odds.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (+150)

It has been a while since we saw him rush for a touchdown. He had over 50 rushing yards in each of the last two games.

Gambling picks for the five late afternoon games in the NFL in Week 3.
