College Football Championship Odds from Las Vegas

Updated 2021 College Football Championship Odds: Welcome back, Big Ten and Mountain West! After announcing the cancellation of its fall sports season in August, the Big Ten and Mountain West will resume in late October. We don’t know what the 2020-21 bowl schedule will look like, but the College Football Playoff committee says that it will operate business-as-usual despite the shortened season. The CFP committee will still be in charge of selecting the best four teams at the end of the season and eventually crowning a national champion. With Big Ten teams now back in the mix, Clemson is now the +250 favorite, followed by Ohio State (+300) and Alabama (+500) atop the 2021 College Football National Championship odds board at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

NFL Week 5 Look-Ahead Lines: Chiefs -11.5 vs. Raiders

NFL Week 5 Lines from Las Vegas

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has just released their NFL Week 5 look-ahead lines and it’s hard to sugarcoat this one…The card doesn’t look great. Ten of the 14 games on the board have a point spread of at least a touchdown, including four games with double-digit spreads. Arguably the best game of the weekend will come on Thursday night when the Chicago Bears host the Tampa Bay Bucs as a 3-point home underdog.

Alabama vs. Texas A&M Predictions and Betting Preview

Right side, wrong result. After dominating the first half against Missouri, the only question for Alabama bettors last week was, “When will Coach Saban take his foot off the gas?” Unfortunately for those with Crimson Tide point spread tickets, the answer was “too soon.” Last week’s non-cover against the Tigers dropped Alabama’s point spread record to 21-22-1 in their last 44 games. Tune in as the WagerTalk TV crew offers their Alabama vs. Texas A&M preview, in addition to other college football predictions for this upcoming weekend.

2020 NFL MVP Odds: Russell Wilson 3-to-1 Favorite

NFL MVP Odds from Las Vegas

One of the NFL’s quirkiest streaks is likely to come to an end this season. Despite being one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL over the last decade (and winning a Super Bowl), Seattle’s Russell Wilson has never received a single MVP vote. Not one. That will likely change this year. Following Week 2 of the regular season, Wilson is the 3-to-1 favorite to win the award at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, followed by Patrick Mahomes (+400) and Lamar Jackson (+500).
