Sports Betting Spotlight: NFL Week 9
Matt Youmans, Kelly Stewart and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the college football and NFL weekend by offering 12 plays:
Matt Youmans, Review-Journal:
Last week: 4-0
Season: 24-8
- Navy (+14) over Notre Dame
- Southern California (-7) over WASHINGTON STATE
- Eagles (-2) over TEXANS
- Best Bet: Auburn (+2) over MISSISSIPPI
“It was a depressing week for Ole Miss after its meltdown in Death Valley. In the aftermath of the Rebels’ loss to LSU, coach Hugh Freeze threw his overrated quarterback, Bo Wallace, under the bus. The Ole Miss defense, which allowed 264 yards on the ground to LSU, will have problems with Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall.”
Kelly Stewart, @kellyinvegas:
Season: 14-9-1
- Indiana (+7) over MICHIGAN
- Old Dominion (+7) over VANDERBILT
- Arizona (+6.5) over UCLA
- Best Bet: KANSAS STATE (-13) over Oklahoma State
“The Cowboys, off lopsided losses to West Virginia and TCU, are 0-4-1 ATS in their past five games. Oklahoma State has been a disappointment since playing Florida State tough in the season opener. K-State coach Bill Snyder talked about style points this week, so it’s obvious he realizes the importance of blowing out the Cowboys.”
Tony Miller, Golden Nugget:
Last week: 2-2
Season: 18-14
- Arizona (+6.5) over UCLA
- Georgia (-12) over Florida
- Texas Christian-WEST VIRGINIA over 73
- Best Bet: Chargers (+2.5) over DOLPHINS
“It’s a banged-up team, but the Chargers are the better team. Philip Rivers was on a roll before two straight losses, and he will get San Diego back on track with a win in Miami.”
