Transcript

00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.

00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I am joined by Matt Horner and we have an NFL odds boost

00:11for all of you today for the final week of the regular season.

00:14This is on Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to each score a touchdown boosted to plus

00:19250 at Caesars.

00:20Matt, what do you think of this boost?

00:22Yeah, you know, it sucks.

00:24We're in week 18 now.

00:25We're at the end of the season.

00:28Yeah, I know.

00:29It's insane.

00:30It's it's terrible.

00:31I love football.

00:32Unfortunately, my team's terrible, but you know what?

00:35I still love watching football in any form.

00:38So and in this one here, you know, you got the Ravens going up against the Browns.

00:42The Ravens are like the biggest favorite I've ever seen.

00:46It's absolutely insane.

00:47What are they, 20 and a half point favorites now against the Cleveland Browns in an NFL

00:52football game.

00:53They're almost three touchdown favorites.

00:56I just, it's unbelievable to me.

00:59You almost have to bet the Browns.

01:00How could you bet the Ravens laying that many points in an NFL game?

01:03It's just so difficult to do.

01:05But yeah, I mean, we need Lamar here to score a touchdown.

01:08Obviously Lamar is liable to do that every single week.

01:11He's a superstar and he runs the ball and they need to win this game.

01:14So obviously he can certainly do that.

01:17Derrick Henry is even more incentivized to do it because of the amount of money that

01:21he can earn by scoring a touchdown.

01:25Plus he'll tie or will he break?

01:28I forget.

01:29I wrote this article yesterday on the incentives that some of these players have this week

01:32because everybody loves betting into that.

01:34And he'll either tie or he'll break Jamal Lewis's record for touchdowns for the Ravens

01:40in a season by getting one more touchdown.

01:42So obviously he has that incentive as well to get one.

01:45So yeah, I don't mind this at all.

01:48You got one guy who definitely wants to do it for money purposes and Lamar who's liable

01:51to do it every single week and they need to win the game.

01:53So you know, half year on this.

01:56Definitely something fun to sweat out.

01:57Love that.

02:35Our favorite bets for today, for this weekend, for anything going forward, I am taking the

02:39Lions money line against the Vikings.

02:42This is minus 155 at BetMGM.

02:45This is going to be an incredible game.

02:47Some are saying the game of the regular season.

02:49So I think the Lions will come away with the win, though, of this game.

02:53Somebody's got to win.

02:54I think it will be the Lions.

02:55And with a win here, of course, they will also take the NFC North and they all have

02:59the number one seed.

03:00This game will also feature the most combined wins for any regular season game in NFL history.

03:07And the winner will be only the ninth team in NFL history to finish a regular season

03:13with 15 or more wins.

03:15There's a lot of the line here.

03:16I see the Lions being the team that wins this game here and wins all of that, too.

03:21So Lions money line against the Vikings.

03:24Yeah, that's pretty nuts that whichever one of these teams loses is going to have 14 wins

03:29and they're going to be a fifth seed and play on the road in a wild card.

03:33You have 14 wins.

03:34How is that even possible?

03:36He's just like, what is this format we have with the playoffs?

03:39It's absolutely insane to me that that's a thing.

03:42Unbelievable.

03:43But, you know, people should be complaining about that just as much as they are in a college

03:46football playoff with the blowouts in Indiana and stuff.

03:49I mean, that's ridiculous to me.

03:52All right. You know what else is absolutely ridiculous to me?

03:54How many times I've hit the New York Jets.

03:57That's absolutely ridiculous to me.

03:59But I do it seemingly almost weekly at this point, even if it doesn't win, because, you

04:04know, everybody, nobody wants it.

04:07Nobody, I should say, wants to bet the New York Jets.

04:09And every single week, the Sharps are on the Jets.

04:11Sharps every single week.

04:12Hammer the Jets. The line always, always moves in their favor.

04:15It's absolutely insane to me.

04:17They're facing the Miami Dolphins this weekend.

04:20The Dolphins are 8-8 and they're not actually eliminated.

04:23They could still make the playoffs, the possibility.

04:26So they'll actually be trying in this game.

04:28The New York Jets have absolutely no reason to play.

04:31They are terrible.

04:33They just got blown out 40-14 by the Buffalo Bills last week.

04:37Aaron Rodgers had maybe one of the worst games I've ever seen a quarterback play.

04:41He was a disaster.

04:43And yet the Jets here are basically a pick-up with a team that actually needs to win the

04:48game and will be trying.

04:49Why? Why are they a pick-up?

04:52Does anybody know?

04:53Everybody's going to bet the Dolphins because they're actually incentivized to win against

04:56a terrible Jets team.

04:57And yet some places actually have the Dolphins as underdogs to the Jets.

05:02Unbelievable.

05:03It's insane to me.

05:05So you know the Sharps, once again, like I said, they're on the Jets.

05:08So I bet the Jets.

05:10I'll give that out here as my bet.

05:13If you don't want to bet it, I don't blame you.

05:15I really don't at all because the Jets are so painful to sweat every single week.

05:21But I do it and that is just what I do.

05:23That's how I bet the NFL.

05:25So maybe the New York Jets, plus one and a half, you can get them at Fandul right now.

05:30That's the best number.

05:32Best one everywhere else.

05:34Plus 100 on the money line if you want to do that.

05:37I wouldn't mind.

05:38Nice.

05:39It is a very wonky week in the NFL.

05:41So it is.

05:42Pick your spot.

05:43So maybe not the worst bet.

05:44So we will see.

05:45It'll be a very interesting weekend.

05:46But get in on the odds boost, plus $250 at Caesars and our bets.
