Cleveland’s Streak-Filled Year
Earlier this year, the Cleveland Indians shocked the gambling community when they put together a jaw-dropping 14 win streak. It had been a while since we had seen such an impressive win streak in the MLB, but now it seems that the city of Cleveland is hell bent on achieving another surprising streak. However, this time it’s in the NFL and instead of a win streak, it is an appalling losing streak. The NFL football odds didn’t predict a breakout season for the Browns, but it also didn’t foretell a winless year either.
Washington Could Hand the Packers Their 4th Straight L
At the start of the season, it seemed that 2016 would have nothing but good things in store for the Green Bay Packers. But now that we’re more than halfway through the season, it’s clear that the opposite is true. Heading into Week 11, the Packers have a losing record, are ranked 3rd in the division, are on a 3 game losing streak, and currently have a -4 turnover ratio. It’s certainly been a rollercoaster and the difference between what the sportsbook projected for the Packers and what they accomplished is only comparable to the gaping difference between what the polls projected for Hillary Clinton, and what the results at the booths actually were. The Packers’ season has been disappointing for the coaches, players, and fans but there’s still time for Green Bay to prove themselves worthy of your bet on NFL money lines. Unfortunately, no one with a sound mind would pick them in their next contest.
Will Betting Sportsbooks Have to Bid McGregor Goodbye?
Although betting sportsbooks are still reeling from all the wagers fans took for a bet on UFC 205, there is an undeniable atmosphere of uncertainty regarding the future of the dual-division champion. Conor McGregor achieved what seemed impossible this past weekend when the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion took down the then reigning UFC Lightweight Champion to become the 1st ever UFC fighter to hold two belts from two distinct weight classes. But before we even got started with 205, McGregor made it known publically that he would be announcing some very important news regarding the future of his career following the fight with Eddie Alvarez.

One reason should suffice to care about college hoops, and it’s this: NCAA basketball betting. Notwithstanding that, ESPN Staff Writer Myron Medcalf went ahead and found other 25 reasons to not wait until March. A lot of it involves left-field stuff including “Earl at the barbershop and Tommy at the bar,” the Providence Friar mascot, Bill Walton in a tie-dye shirt, Miles Bridge hitting his head on a rim, Bobby Hurley yelling on campus like a homeless drifter, and lyrics from a song by Blake Shelton.
