NFL preseason video games are purported to go beneath, proper? Greatest Bets for Aug. 13 – The Each day Gazette

Every day, one among our specialists at Homefield Sports activities supply up a greatest guess (or two or three) that cell sportsbooks are providing. It is perhaps a standard unfold guess, a participant prop or one of many varied odds boosts that books supply.

Listed below are one of the best bets for Saturday, August 13:

TOP PLAY

The play: Dolphins-Buccaneers UNDER 32½

The percentages/guess: -110 ($33 to win $30)

The guide: Caesars Sportsbook

Time/TV: 7:30 p.m.

Our take: Man, what a tricky Friday night time for Greatest Bets, persevering with a tricky month for us. Midway by means of the night time, it regarded like we’d sweep, with each the Eagles and the Marlins off to good leads. But it surely wasn’t meant to be, with the Marlins wilting in opposition to the Braves and the Eagles coughing up a giant result in the Jets’ fourth-stringers.

Generally that’s how sports activities betting goes.

We’re going to attempt to get again on the precise facet with an beneath guess right here, which could appear apparent contemplating preseason video games at all times go beneath, proper?

Uh, no. Not this 12 months. After a preseason filled with unders final 12 months, together with 20 of the primary 23, all eight preseason video games this 12 months have gone over the whole at kickoff (a few them have been shut sufficient to the place you can have hit an beneath if you happen to bought the precise worth.)

However I’m banking on this one to interrupt the streak. The Buccaneers, after all, are with out Tom Brady on this one (he most likely wouldn’t have performed anyway). Bucs coach Todd Bowles has pressured the significance of working in preseason camp, and Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel got here proper out and stated he didn’t care concerning the preseason.

It’s a low complete, however this recreation appears tailored for a quick-moving second half with a lot of time coming off the clock with out factors going up on the board.

GOLF MATCH BET

The play: PGA St. Jude Basic, Joohyung Kim higher third spherical than Shane Lowry and Davis Riley

The percentages/guess: +160 ($10 to win $16)

The guide: Caesars Sportsbook

Time/TV: Golf Channel (1-3 p.m.); NBC (from 3 p.m.)

Our take: Those that watched the Wyndham Championship final week have been launched to Joohyung Kim — often known as Tom Kim — as he took the sphere by storm on the weekend with an unbelievable placing efficiency that left the leaderboard in his wake.

We’re not saying Kim goes to try this once more, not precisely, anyway. He’s seven strokes off the lead with 32 gamers in entrance of him. However what’s outstanding is that Kim is on this place in opposition to area whereas dropping strokes placing. The 2 different gamers on this three-ball guess have each gained in opposition to the sphere placing, which as we at all times say on this area is essentially the most fickle a part of a golfer’s recreation.

For a +160 worth, it definitely appears potential that Kim might rediscover a few of that placing magic from final week whereas Lowry and Riley slip somewhat bit.
