LIU Sharks +40.5 on the Line (-115)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
In this college football game, the Kansas Jayhawks are facing off against the LIU Sharks. Kansas is the favorite, but they might not win by a lot, as our numbers suggest they could win by just a small margin. This means the Sharks could easily cover the point spread of 40.5 points. While it's a bit of a long shot, the Sharks have a chance to keep the score close, making this a decent bet if you think they can put up a fight against Kansas. Remember, anything can happen in sports! It was priced at -115 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.70 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Under 52.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
In the game between the Kansas Jayhawks and LIU Sharks, I think betting on under 52.5 total points is a good idea. Our numbers show this as a strong pick because both teams might struggle to score. Kansas has a solid defense, while LIU's offense hasn't been great. With our model predicting about 20 points total, it looks like this could be a low-scoring game. Just remember, anything can happen in sports, so while this bet seems promising, it's not a guarantee to win. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
LIU Sharks to Win (+9000)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The LIU Sharks are going up against the Kansas Jayhawks, and while Kansas is the favorite, I think the Sharks have a decent shot. They might seem like long shots with those big odds, but our numbers say it's almost a coin flip. Kansas has a solid team, but if LIU can bring their best offense and catch the Jayhawks off guard, anything can happen. This is a risky bet, but if you're feeling hopeful, it could be worth a small wager for some fun! It was priced at +9000 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $910 if it lands. This is a long shot at the price, so keep the stake small. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Kansas Jayhawks v LIU Sharks. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
