ACTION REPORT: Top under bets for NFL win totals
EXPERT PICKS: An under for MLB and underdog for WNBA
BEHOLD, THE FUTURE: Time to believe in Cleveland?
️ WILL LIGHTNING STRIKE TWICE: Big bets on Hovland
We’re a little over two weeks away from the NFL regular season kicking off and offseason action on futures has been pouring in. Let’s look ???? at which teams and players have been getting the most betting interest in various markets before the real games begin.
Here are the teams that have gotten the most action to go under their win total.
MOST POPULAR UNDERS BY TICKETS
1. Bears 7.5 That’s right: Chicago is not only tops in OVER tickets and handle, but it is also the leader in the clubhouse for UNDER action.
2. Jets 9.5 Are bettors thinking that the Aaron Rodgers experiment will turn into Russell Wilson 2.0 ?????
3. Raiders 6.5 There are definitely worse ideas than taking an under on a Josh McDaniels-coached team.
MOST POPULAR UNDERS BY HANDLE
1. Bears 7.5 Even with leading in UNDER tickets and handle, 54.3% of the tickets and 66.3% of the handle on the Bears win total are still on the OVER.
2. Bengals 11.5 You need a lot of things to break right to clear an 11.5 win total, and Joe Burrow’s health and a very tough division are already making it tricky.
3. Jets 9.5 If you were curious ???? how “Hard Knocks” teams have fared on win totals, they’re actually 9-8-1 to the over.
EXPERT PICKS
Ariel Epstein has two plays from the diamond, including one where she's going back to the well. Max Meyer is buying an undervalued WNBA team that's a home underdog.
THE PROP QUEEN
Yankees SP Carlos Rodon Under 5.5 K’s (-145) [7:05 p.m. ET]
“Rodon has had a 7.33 ERA since coming off the 15-day IL. Lefties are only striking out 3.8 batters per start against the Nationals.”
Braves Over 1.5 Runs in First 3 Innings (-130) [7:20 p.m. ET]
“The Braves won this for us last night and have cashed this in 15 of their last 19 games. Mets righty Tylor Megill has allowed 2+ runs in the first 3 innings of every road start but one.”
THE SENIOR EDITOR
Washington Mystics +3.5 (-110) vs. Connecticut Sun [7 p.m. ET]
“This is a nice buy-low spot on the Mystics, who are finally getting healthier. Ariel Atkins and Shakira Austin are back from injuries, and Elena Delle Donne is a game-time decision. Since the All-Star Break, the Sun have been favorites in eight games and lost half of them outright.”
PointsBet is offering NO JUICE® ODDS on a run to be scored in the first inning in four MLB games: Mets-Braves, Red Sox-Astros, Mariners-White Sox and Marlins-Padres. Make sure not to miss it during tonight’s Power ???? Hour, starting at 6 p.m. ET.

Cleveland Browns — AFC North winner (+350)
“Everyone knows the Browns have a top RB (Nick Chubb) and DE (Myles Garrett) anchoring ⚓ each side of the ball. Adding Za’Darius Smith beefs up that D-line to one of the best in the NFL, while bringing in Elijah Moore provides a much-needed upgrade to the passing game. But this season all comes down to Deshaun Watson returning to All-Pro form. The Browns host the Bengals in Week 1 with Joe Burrow’s status up in the air, followed by a MNF matchup in Pittsburgh. A 2-0 start would take this team’s division odds from +350 to being the favorite.”
The same Illinois client who put $2,271.45 on Hovland +550 doubled down by putting another $750 on Hovland +550.
Viktor Hovland’s massive Sunday gave him a big BMW Championship victory and vaulted him into second place of the FedEx Cup standings.
He’s been getting noteworthy action to repeat in this week’s Tour Championship, as he’s racked up four of the six biggest outright bets thus far. Thanks to those big bets, Hovland has nearly two times more handle ???? to win at East Lake than anyone else in the field.
Hovland (+500) will start the event at 8-under, two strokes behind FedEx Cup points leader Scottie Scheffler (+130). If he were to pull off back-to-back victories, it would be the first time it’s happened on the PGA Tour since … Lucas Glover (+5500) earlier this month.
