Sports Betting Spotlight: NFL Week 4

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: 3-1

Season: 9-3

  • Arkansas (+10) over Texas A&M
  • Tennessee (+17) over GEORGIA
  • JETS (+1.5) over Lions
  • Best Bet: TEXANS (-3) over Bills

“The Bills are crashing back to reality. EJ Manuel does not stretch the field in the passing game, and Houston’s strong defensive front can control the Buffalo running attack. The Bills were 1-6 as road ‘dogs last year. Texans coach Bill O’Brien will get his team to bounce back off a loss.”

Kelly Stewart, @kellyinvegas:

Season: 5-2-1

  • Missouri (+5.5) over SOUTH CAROLINA
  • Duke (+7) over MIAMI
  • CHIEFS (+3.5) over Patriots
  • Best Bet: ARIZONA STATE (+4) over Ucla

“Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly is out, but I don’t care. The home ‘dog is live in this spot. The Bruins are a bad road team, and quarterback Brett Hundley is overrated.”

Tony Miller, Golden Nugget:

Last week: 2-2

Season: 6-6

  • Notre Dame (-9.5) over SYRACUSE
  • Arkansas-Texas A&M over 71
  • BEARS (+1.5) over Packers
  • Best Bet: Texas State (+3) over TULSA

“This is a bet against Tulsa, which has a terrible defense. Tyler Jones passed for 336 yards and four touchdowns last week as Texas State put up 35 points against Illinois.”
