00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost, I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I'm joined by Kate Constable

00:09and Matt Horner and we have an NFL odds boost for all of you for today, for this weekend

00:15in the wildcard games for wildcard weekend or big game, well I think you can say wildcard

00:20big game, pre big game weekend.

00:22Russell Wilson to have over 224 and a half passing yards and over one and a half passing

00:27touchdowns boosted to plus 375 at Caesars, what do you guys think of this boost?

00:32This is a little bold one, kind of spicy here because Russ has not reached this mark, at

00:38least the passing yards in both meetings between the Ravens earlier this season, he did have

00:42two passing touchdowns when they played at Baltimore so their second meeting of the season

00:47but I mean Russ has kind of taken a little bit of a step back over his last four or so

00:51games in the losing streak that the Steelers have had but what gives me some sort of confidence

00:55that this could potentially hit, I mean anything could hit obviously, like things are so unpredictable

01:00in the NFL, it's just that this is such a rivalry game between these two teams and this

01:05series is historically so much closer than like this spread suggests, which hint hint

01:10may be my best bet coming up here in just a second, but crazy things happen in this

01:15rivalry, you can't exactly go and look back and say okay well this hasn't happened in

01:18X amount of games because you never know what's going to happen between these two teams so

01:22plus 375, I would not put a lot on it, this is not one of my more confident boosts that

01:27we have, but certainly if you want some action, want to sweat out something during the game,

01:32it's a fun one, you're getting a good number at plus 375, so Matt, it's doable.

01:37Yeah, I mean if you play this you're definitely being contrarian because everybody and their

01:41brother is fading Russell Wilson because of how terrible he has looked over this four

01:46game streak, so absolutely nobody wants to back Russell Wilson, I have sprinkled the

01:51Steelers though at this large number at 10 and a half, I think they can keep the game

01:56pretty close and I think it's going to be possibly a lower scoring game here, total

01:59was 47 and a half, I took the under there, I think it came down from that now, but yeah

02:05like you just said, I mean it's quite a lot of passing yards, get the two touchdowns for

02:09Russell because he's struggled a lot lately, but again if you want to be contrarian, if

02:13you want to be somebody that's going to go against the grain because nobody's going to

02:17be backing him, I think it's worth a little bit of a sprinkle here, plus 375 obviously

02:23that's quite a lot, so you're not going to be throwing whole units down on these boosts,

02:26but you know if you want to have a half unit or a quarter unit, something else to sweat

02:29out in the game, I don't mind that at all, just going against the grain.

02:33Love that, get in on this boost plus 375 at Caesars and take advantage of our offer from

03:12Lucy Olberge, favorite bets for today, or this weekend, or for any time in the future,

03:17I am taking Commanders plus 3 against the Buccaneers for this weekend, I think this

03:22will be a close game, even if the Commanders lose, cause I do like the Buccaneers, I mean

03:26I did have them to win the division, so I have faith in the Buccaneers, but I think

03:30this will be close either way, so they could cover this plus 3, spread could be a difference

03:34of one or two points perhaps, the Buccaneers are averaging just one point more scored per

03:40game than the Commanders, so kind of neck and neck here, and the Buccaneers have only

03:44covered one of their last three spreads, Todd Bowles also said the Commanders are a much

03:49better team than they were when these two faced off in week 1, and the Buccaneers did

03:53beat them, so the Commanders have improved, and they have covered two of their last three

03:56spreads, so I'm taking them plus 3 against the Buccaneers.

04:00I'm gonna also take another underdog in wildcard weekend, or the big game weekend.

04:05I think we can say wildcard, if not, why not?

04:08It's the S word that we cannot use.

04:10Just beat me on it.

04:11I think we can say the other one too, but you know, it's fine, the WC guys.

04:18The WC, the WC, so we have Ravens and Steelers, as we just talked about with Russell Wilson,

04:22and I have to shout out PJ Glasser here, because a lot of these stats and trends that I'm going

04:26to use as my argument come from PJ, so shout out PJ for putting me onto these, but this,

04:33the series between these two teams, one and one on the season, and this is just a rivalry

04:38series, an AFC North rivalry series between the two of them, the largest spread in series

04:43history, plus 10, that's what we're getting right now.

04:46It has never been larger than this, and their last 20 meetings, only four games have been

04:54decided by a touchdown or more, so in 16 games, it's been decided by less than a touchdown,

05:03in other words, so these games often finish extremely close.

05:07The underdog in this one is 16-3-1 against the spread in those 20 games, so I mean, as

05:12good as the Ravens are right now, and they look like a dominant, a very complete team,

05:16and the Steelers are really fumbling things down the stretch, they've lost their last

05:19four, so these teams are kind of coming into this game, going in opposite directions, but

05:24I mean, Mike Tomlin, as an underdog, on the road, he's been great in those spots before,

05:29you're getting 10 points, so key number of 10 too, I'm going to take the Steelers here

05:34to cover that number.

05:36There you go, love that, like I said, I sprinkled the Steelers as well, not for a full unit,

05:40but just a little something on that, I think that number's a little big.

05:43I'm going to go to some games today, yesterday we had a fantastic college basketball slate,

05:49Florida was an absolute whale, that was the easiest bet I'd ever made in my life, it was

05:55so easy, you just look at it-

05:56Was it a max unit?

05:57It was a max-

05:58Whale, max unit, megawhale?

05:59Megawhale.

06:01Super megawhale, ex-Millennium Falcon, Han Solo whale, that I put on the Florida Gators

06:08yesterday.

06:09We're going to college basketball again here, I've got some more nukes for everybody to

06:14go down here.

06:15We're going to take Villanova.

06:17Villanova, I got them at plus one, you can find them at plus one at one place right now,

06:24otherwise they are favorites now over UConn, UConn, 12-3 UConn, who has just rolled off

06:30win after win, they're number nine in the country now, taking on Villanova who's 10-5,

06:36and yet Villanova here has moved to a favorite over 12-3 UConn in this game.

06:42There's a reason for that, and it's because Villanova is probably winning, there's a very

06:46good chance that they're going to beat UConn tonight, so give me Villanova there as my

06:51best bet.

06:52I'll also go to St. Louis tonight in college basketball, they're two and a half point favorites,

06:58they're 14-1 St. Bonaventure, St. Bonaventure is not ranked, but they are 14-1, they just

07:04keep rolling off win after win after win, and St. Louis tonight, who has lost three

07:09of their last five games, is a two and a half point favorite over a 14-1 St. Bonaventure

07:15team, so once again, that will be another nuke of the night, so give me St. Louis and

07:20give me Villanova here, I think both of these teams certainly are going to win.

07:25Love that, the loo, as the Cardinals put on their City Connect jerseys, and everyone was

07:29like, nobody calls it that, and then some people did say they do call it that, so interesting,

07:33versus the Bonneys.

07:35So that will be a fun matchup as well, so get in on all of our bets and the odds boost

07:39plus 3.75 at Caesars, and subscribe to the BetQL Daily Loose wherever you get your podcasts.
