BETFTW! On Site Week 14

The playoffs are approaching and this mid-season division matchup has all the playoff feels. The Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Football Team in D.C. This season, the Cowboys are great against the spread and on the moneyline. Cowboys beat reporter Jori Epstein breaks down what the Cowboys need to do, in order to secure their lead in the NFC East. Will the Cowboys get their running game going? The offense needs more continuity by balancing the pass and the run. To date, the Cowboys have banked on Dak Prescott and his receivers to score points. With Washington's third ranked rushing defense in the league, the Cowboys running game will be put to the test. As for Ezekiel Elliot, the stiffness in his knees are starting to decrease and his strength is coming back. If the run game executes during this matchup, the Cowboys will be in good shape for a victory. Dak Prescott looks to be the X-factor on Sunday. His play has cooled down after a hot start and has slipped down the rankings as MVP candidate. With CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Tony Pollard, and Ezekiel Elliot, Washington's defense will have their hands full. Dallas enters Week 14 as 4.5 point favorite.

Lorenzo's Locks: Week 13

The NFL's hottest team in the league, the New England Patriots, travel to Buffalo for a division matchup and battle for first place in the AFC East. Playing smart and mistake free, New England has won six in a row and covered the spread in every game during the streak. The Patriots look to continue their road dominance, as they have won five road games this season. Lorenzo believes the Patriots defense will make it a long day for Josh Allen and the Bills, and is locking in the Patriots +2.5. Another hot AFC East team, the Miami Dolphins have won four straight games. Tua Tagovailoa has gotten the ball out quickly and Jaden Waddle broke out in Week 12 as a result. Miami is a great under the radar home field advantage team in the NFL. While the Giants have shown improvement, the Dolphins are 12-4 against the spread in their last 16 home games. Lorenzo is locking in Miami -3.5. The San Francisco 49ers have won four of their last five games. Meanwhile, Seattle has gone the opposite direction, and have dropped five of their last six. Although the Seahawks have recently dominated the head to head matchups, Seattle's offense is in shambles. Lorenzo is locking in the 49ers -3.5 as road favorites.

Joe Mixon is coming off back to back 100+ rushing yard games for the Bengals and the Chargers have one of the worst rush defenses in the league. Joe Mixon is the X-Factor in this matchup and looks to have a field day against Los Angeles. Mixon's big day will open up the passing game for the other Joe, Joe Burrow.

Lorenzo's Locks: Week 12

The Dolphins ride a three game winning streak heading into Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. With wins against the Jets and Texans in that span, Lorenzo sees Miami as overvalued. Cam Newton and Christian McCaffrey matchup well against Miami's linebackers. Lorenzo is locking in the Panthers against the spread. Fly Eagles Fly! The Eagles have found their rhythm and Jalen Hurts has been hard to tackle in and out of the pocket. Philadelphia is 5-2 against the spread in their last seven and 8-1 in their last nine games against New York. The Giants have shown they are not as strong as the Eagles and Lorenzo is taking the Eagles against the spread. The Steelers defense is coming back to full strength as key members to the defense return to the field. Pittsburgh is 4-1 against the spread in their last five road games and Cincinnati is 1-4 against the spread in their last five at home.

Lorenzo's Locks: Week 11

The Packers are 9-0 against the spread and 8-1 over their last nine games.

The Colts have steadily improved over the course of the season. The Bills look to have found their rhythm, but are coming off a win against a poor Jets defense. The Colts are 3-0 against the spread in their last three road games and underdogs. Lorenzo likes the Bills to win and Colts to cover at +3.5.

Lorenzo's Locks: Week 10

Week 10 action begins with notable changes around the NFL. Cam Newton is back and looks to give Carolina some life, while OBJ has been released from Cleveland and found a new home with the Los Angeles Rams. Lorenzo went 2-1 last week and looks to perfect his locks this week. The Los Angeles Rams travel north to take on state rival San Francisco. Matthew Stafford looks to bounce back against a weak 49ers defense. The 49ers have lost eight straight home games and are 0-4 against the spread in their last four home games. Lorenzo is locking in the Rams at -3.5. Since their loss to the Jets, Tennessee may be the hottest team in the NFL. Even without Derek Henry, the Titans are still capable of putting points on the board. Lorenzo does not see Trevor Siemian or Taysom Hill lifting the Saints to victory. The Titans are 5-0 against the spread in their last five and are a lock this week at -2.5. After the release of OBJ, the Browns dominated the deep passing game last week. Cleveland looks to continue their road dominance as they head to Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots. Cleveland is 5-1 against the spread in their last six games. Lorenzo likes the Browns upsetting the Patriots and is locking in Cleveland at +2.5.

What is a Futures Bet?

If you want to bet on an event with an outcome that will not be known for some time, you are going to be looking at a futures market. A futures market can encompass almost anything. At Tipico, you can bet into a futures market on the eventual champion of any major sports league. You can also do the same with the eventual winner of any major piece of hardware, from Rookie of the Year to Most Valuable Player. Even betting the winner of an upcoming golf, college basketball, or tennis tournament is considered a futures bet. The big thing to remember is that a futures market is basically any betting market that lasts longer than a single game. If you are betting on the World Cup champion before the first game is played, that would take place in a futures market. If you are betting on the champion when it is down to two remaining teams the day of the final game, you are probably not betting into a futures market.

What is a Moneyline?

A moneyline is a set of sports betting odds in which you bet on one side to simply win outright. There are negative and positive numbers when it comes to moneylines. It’s possible that both teams could have a negative number, but that is more the exception than the rule. Most of the time one team will have a negative number and one team will have a plus sign in front of their number. The team with the (-) is the favorite in that case and the team with the (+) is the underdog.

What is a Parlay?

A parlay is a bet that combines two or more outcomes that are available to bet on separately. If all of the outcomes you choose turn out to be correct, then you win the bet. If even one of those outcomes turns out to be wrong, you lose the bet. It is an all or nothing proposition. You can successfully pick the first five games right on a 6-team parlay card, but if you get the final one wrong, you lose. Whether you lose the first or last game on your card makes no difference. In order to hit the payout, you have to get every outcome right.

What is Live In-Game Betting?

Live in-game betting gives you the opportunity to bet live when games are in action. At any point during any sporting event the books will calculate the potential chance of an event happening and then offer odds on that outcome. They will recalculate those probabilities over and over again with adjustments made for positive and negative occurrences on the preceding play. Sometimes the last play does not change the price being offered. Other times it could be a drastic change. For example, the odds will move massively in the direction of the defense that just recorded a pick six on the previous play. It might move very little when it goes from a 3-0 to a 3-1 count in baseball.
