Bettors’ banquet as sportsbook sets 2020 NFL futures wager menu

The New England Patriots are no longer the favorites in the AFC East, according to one sportsbook’s future odds.

Caesars Sportsbook fed the appetite Thursday of bettors looking for any sort of action. The sportsbook released its odds package for the upcoming NFL season. One of the more intriguing opportunities has the New England Patriots no longer as the favorites in the AFC East. That honor goes to the Buffalo Bills. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 17-1 when it comes to winning the Super Bowl.

Michigan State football favored over Miami, underdog to Michigan, Ohio State per BetMGM

BetMGM has released future odds for key games in the 2020 college football season

The college football season is a bit up in the air right now due to the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, but that isn’t stopping sports books from releasing point spreads!

Michigan State is featured in three of BetMGM’s key games during the 2020 college football season. Mel Tucker’s Spartans are currently favored in their home matchup with Miami (Fl) and are underdogs against Michigan and Ohio State. The point spreads are:

  • MSU -2.5 vs Miami
  • MSU +6.5 vs. UofM
  • MSU +17.5 vs. Ohio State

It has been pretty clear the sports books aren’t expecting much from MSU in Mel Tucker’s first season. Season win totals have been set as low as 4.5 and as high as 6. Many fans have said that Tucker guiding the Spartans to a bowl game in his first season would be a success. Considering the talent that left after the 2019 season, how late Tucker and his staff were hired and COVID-19, that sounds about right.

It’s a little surprising that Michigan State is favored over Miami, although the Hurricanes are far from a stable program right now. The similarities between the two programs run deep. Michigan is again expected to be good this year, but it looks like the books are expecting Ohio State to be among the very best teams in the country yet again. Not really a surprise there given the talent they are bringing back.
