Mother of Invention: Coronavirus Creates Crazy Sportsbook Odds in Weird Markets

Kansas City vs San Francisco: Best Bets and O/U Prediction on a Confounding Super Bowl LIV
“When I came into the NFL, everyone said you just couldn’t run the ball anymore because the defenses had gotten too big and too fast.

Army vs Navy: Betting Odds and Prediction on the Fight in Philadelphia
When President Trump told viewers of the 2017 Army-Navy Game that the American classic was “not the best football, but still very, very good,” he was right for the wrong reasons. Trump, a former USFL proprietor, was remarking that college players don’t always run as fast or jump as high as pro players do.
