Top 5 MLB Season Win Totals: Betting Projections & Where to Place Your Money

Top 5 MLB Season Win Totals

OH YES, IT’S TIME FOR BASEBALL!!! I’m sorry, it’s just hard for me to contain my excitement. After a strenuous offseason filled with questions and grey could, we have baseball in 2022. What a season we have ahead of us, too! There looks to be a clear-cut favorite this year in the Dodgers. They now have the best player from each of the four previous MLB Champions thanks to the signing of Freddie Freeman in March, a couple weeks before Opening Day. Yet, some don’t think its as easy as seeing a strike on a 3-0 pitch.

Men's Division 1 Basketball Conference Tournaments

NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Tournaments | Betting Predictions & Breakdowns

For as much as I love football, this is my favorite time of year for betting purposes. Year in and year out we see mid major programs go into the tournament as these nobody’s and not only do they cover a giant spread, but they beat your favorite teams across the power five conferences. Yet, when people are building their bracket, no one knows anything about the Catamounts of Vermont or the Bryant Bulldogs. Most of the teams who win their conference tournament do so for a reason. They are a great team, well coached, and have the hunger to want to win this thing. Before all of that happens though, we have to have the conference tournaments. Below I went ahead and scouted the vast land of the NCAA to put together my picks for each of the conference tournaments. Now I will admit, some conferences have a clear cut favorite. Some on the other hand have 2-5 teams that can truly make a run happen if things click at the right time. With March Madness right there at our fingertips, let’s crack this book and put some money in our pockets leading up to the big dance.

American East - Vermont (-190)

I think this might be one of the easier choices in the NCAA. Vermont is leading the division in essentially every scoring category. They are excellent on the glass, rarely turn the ball over, and rank 22nd in the nation in points allowed per game. This team is lead by a core group of seniors who know how to play together. I expect them to stun some teams when it comes time for March Madness. Lock in the Catamounts and forget about it.

The Bengals slaying the money on their franchise's back, winning a playoff game for the first time since 91’. The 49ers beat “Americas Team” in dramatic fashion, and Josh Allen showed the Patriots who the new king of the AFC East is in commanding fashion. Then the NFL said “hold my beer” and gave us arguably the best playoff weekend ever, showcasing exactly why the NFL is the most watched program in the country.

NFL Week 13 Predictions

NFL Week 13 Betting Predictions

Dallas Cowboys (-5.5) @ New Orleans Saints

Man, it has to be tough being a Cowboys fan. On paper this team should be able to compete with any team in the league. In games against TB, LAC, and NE they looked like a team that could compete and really win games. Yet, they came out flat against KC, and got absolutely embarrassed by LV on Thanksgiving. Now they have what looks like a cake matchup against a Saints team led by Taysom Hill and no Alvin Kamara on Thursday night. OH! And their head coach has covid. But, in my humblest opinion, that’s only going to make them better. Kellen Moore should be the head coach of this team but he is “too young,” yet he is the best coach on that staff still. Quinn is the interim, but he knows better than to take control of this talented offense. The Saints have scored 20+ points in 4 of their last 5 games. Dallas has allowed 16 or more points during that same time span, so I see this being closer than people expect. The 47 O/U seems too enticing for two great offensive minds and Vegas actually agrees. Once the news came out that Taysom Hill was starting, the line actually moved a half point greater. Hill is a competent QB and has proven to us that he is a winner. He knows the Saints scheme way better than Simeien ever did. That comfortability will help him move this offense in the right direction. Give me the Over 47 and sprinkle the Saints +6 on a parlay for some juice.
