00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.

00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL, and I am joined by Matt Horner, and we have a Thursday night

00:10football odds boost for all of you today on Joe Burrow, who have over 249 and a half passing

00:17yards and over two and a half passing touchdowns, boosted to plus 280.

00:22Matt, what do you think of this boost?

00:24Well, we saw what happened last time that he faced the Baltimore Ravens.

00:27He absolutely tore them up for like 300 yards.

00:29He had, what, five touchdowns or something like that?

00:31He absolutely went ham on the Ravens defense, but then again, that's no shock because the

00:36Ravens defense this year has been forged by just about any quarterback they faced.

00:40I mean, they are one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL, something that we're

00:44not accustomed to seeing from the Ravens.

00:46They usually have quite a solid defense, but man, they have been blasted this year by pretty

00:50much everyone.

00:51I wouldn't be totally shocked by this at all.

00:54Joe Burrow is actually one of the best quarterbacks in the league this year.

00:57I mean, you look at their record, the Bengals record isn't that great, but Burrow has been

01:01forging people.

01:02He has 20 touchdowns, just four interceptions, 2200 passing yards.

01:06He has the second best QBR in the entire league, and they have a losing record, which tells

01:12you something about their defense as well.

01:13So I definitely think he can go over this no problem, maybe like a half unit, something

01:18like that on these touchdowns.

01:19Awesome.

02:01Our favorite bets for today.

02:03I'm going with the Bengals in this game.

02:05Bengals plus six against the Ravens to cover this.

02:08They covered this number when these two faced off in October when the Ravens did win in

02:13overtime, but it was 41-38.

02:15That's covered this number.

02:16Then the Bengals are also four and two against the spread in their last six games.

02:20And the Ravens are allowing 7.4 yards per pass attempt.

02:25So I'm comfortable taking the Bengals to cover here.

02:29Yeah, this is a really tough one for me.

02:32Looking at the betting splits right now and multiple sports books.

02:37So I like to synchronize my bets in terms of overall what in general these recreational

02:42sports books would need.

02:44Taking a look at DraftKings and BetMGM, two of the biggest books that there are.

02:50They have conflicting needs when it comes to the spread in this game.

02:54So right now over at DraftKings, 55% of the money is on the Baltimore Ravens.

02:58So they're going to want the Cincinnati Bengals right now to cover that line.

03:02However, over at BetMGM, only 41% of the handle is on the Baltimore Ravens, which means they're

03:08getting a lot of money on the Cincinnati Bengals.

03:10So it's kind of conflicting there when it comes to the spread of what the books generally

03:14are going to need, which usually means I'm going to stay away from it because I like

03:17a consensus need from the sports books.

03:20Now when it comes to the total here, I'm probably almost certainly going to be on the under

03:26because the over is always a very popular bet in these primetime island games.

03:30Right now it's close.

03:32We got over at DraftKings, 51% of their handle is on the over.

03:37And over at BetMGM, 61% of their handle is on the over.

03:40It's close at DraftKings.

03:41Like I said, it's 51-49, so it's like right there at that split, but they do have a lean

03:45towards the over.

03:46And I expect the public money to come in more to the over as we get closer to game time,

03:51as it always does.

03:52So my best bet right now I can get for this game is going to be the under 53.

03:56I expect it to be very popular.

03:58As I just talked about, both these defenses have been awful this year, so generally people

04:02are going to want to bet the over.

04:03But 53 is a lot of points and the books are probably going to want the under, so I'm going

04:08to give that out.

04:09Under 53 as my best bet tonight in Thursday Night Football.

04:12Love that.

04:13Get in on this odds boost, plus $2.80 at Caesars and our bets for this game.
