Odds Shark’s Staff Parlay (+4365)

After nailing a OS staff parlay early in the season, we’ve lost two weeks in a row. But, we’re back with a Week 7 staff super parlay:

Steve’s Pick: Keon Coleman Anytime TD (+175)

Yeah, I know the Bills signed Amari Cooper, which is great for this bet. L’Jarius Snead will spend his time following Cooper around, so our boy Coleman can roam around freely. The Bills should be able to move the ball against this Titans defense, and when they get in the red zone it’ll be Coleman time. Getting the former FSU stud a touchdown this week would be a nice little reminder to the rest for the league that the Bills have weapons and they know how to use them

Tony’s Pick: Panthers commanders over 51.5 (-110)

Both teams are dealing with a bunch of injuries on defense and those units are awful even when they’re healthy. Both teams should be able to move the ball at will on offense. I’m expecting fireworks.

Ninja’s Pick: Drake Maye OVER 202.5 Passing Yards (-115)

I can’t help it as I find myself wrapped in the excitement of the Drake Maye era.

I expect another solid outing from the North Carolina Product against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that doesn’t get to the quarterback and, according to PFF, a coverage unit is bottom six in terms of catch rate (75.4 percent), yards allowed per coverage snap (7.06) and explosive pass plays allowed (16.2 percent).

Nick’s Pick: Chiefs-49ers Under 47.5 (-110)

Despite their prowess the Chiefs own the NFL’s 31st ranked offense by explosive play rate. On the other side I think the 49ers offense is being overvalued. They’ve played the likes of the Rams, Cardinals, Patriots and Seahawks which is sure to boost the box score. Expect far more of a defensive showdown in this Super Bowl rematch.

Mitch’s Pick: Lamar Jackson Anytime TD (+135)

The Buccaneers’ defense has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards and the most ground touchdowns (four) to QBs. That sounds like an absolute dream for Lamar Jackson, who has 403 rushing yards and two ground touchdowns already this year.

Here are the rest of our Week 7 parlays:

MLB Player Prop Picks Today: Best Prop Bets

It’s time for the first edition of MLB player prop picks for August.

To kick off this month, I’m backing on a Ian Happ’s total base OVER (+155) and fading Jesus Sanchez’s hits UNDER (+135) as my MLB player prop selections.

Here are my two MLB player prop picks today with breakdowns:

MLB Prop Pick Today: Ian Happ OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+155)

Cardinals vs Cubs Odds – Game Time: 8:10 pm ET

This pick may seem to go against my UNDER 8.0 in the Cards vs Cubs game, but I think Ian Happ can still have a good day.

For starters, Happ loves this matchup against Cards starter Sonny Gray. In 16 career at-bats against him, Happ has seven hits (four for extra-bases), good for a .438 average and 1.283 OPS. He’s also gone over 1.5 total bases in four of his last six meetings against the Cardinals. Happ also has five hits in his last four games (including homering last night against the Reds).

I also think these Happ hits could come later in the game. The Cards may have a top-10 bullpen by ERA, but they actually let up the 14th-most hits to relievers in MLB.

MLB Prop Pick Today: Jesus sanchez UNDER 0.5 Hits (+135)

Marlins vs Braves Odds – Game Time: 7:20 pm ET

I’m fading the entire Marlins lineup as part of my MLB expert picks today, but I’m going to hone in on Jesus Sanchez for my props. Sanchez has three hits in 18 career at-bats against Charlie Morton, good for a 1.67 AVG and .472 OPS.

He’s also insanely cold lately, failing to get a hit in four of his last six games. He’s seen his average drop from .249 to .241 in that six-game stretch.

I also think the Braves bullpen will be able to lock things down after Morton leaves the game. Atlanta’s relievers have the second-lowest ERA in baseball (2.97 ERA) and have allowed the third-fewest hits (301).

Euro 2024 Odds: Betting Predictions and Picks

Euro 2024 will be held in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024. We’re in the early stages of qualifications with no more than two games being played per side.

In total 24 will participate in the tournament, and 23 of those sides will come through the qualification process. As hosts, Germany automatically qualifies. 

We’re a year out from one of soccer’s most important tournaments – and with lots of qualifying matches left to play – but let’s take an early look at the odds board and who’s favored to win.

Odds to Win 2024 Euro

Odds to win Euro 2024

England +600
Spain +750
Portugal +1000
Belgium +1200

Netherlands +1400
Denmark +2000
Croatia +3500

Odds as of June 13

Why Is France Favored to Win Euro 2024?

On an international level, the French are the second-best side. Les Bleus were runners-up at the 2022 World Cup. On that World Cup journey in Qatar, France took out some strong European opponents.

They bested Denmark 2-1 in the group stage (the Danish hold the ninth-best Euro odds), Poland in the Round of 16 by a score of 3-1 (Poland is at +5000 for Euro 2024) and then France dispatched the English 2-1 in the Quarter-Finals (England is third on Euro odds board).

Through the short qualification period, France is 2-0-0 with a +5 goal differential while keeping two clean sheets with wins over Ireland and the Netherlands. 

Star power is another big factor to consider, and the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge have the biggest star of them all in Kylian Mbappe. The PSG forward has no flaws in his game and dominates at every level. 

In Qatar, Mbappe scored the most goals (8), lead the tournament in goal-creating actions with 11 (five more than the next best-player) and was third for goal-creating actions per 90 (1.74). When it comes to unlocking a game there’s no better player in Europe or even the world than Mbappe.

Euro 2024 Value 

France enters the tournament as slight favorites, what sides have greater value and have a chance to win instead of the favorites?

Germany

The hosts are just behind France on the oddsboard at +550. Because of their host status, we don’t have any sense of the form their in. They haven’t played any games because they don’t need to qualify.

If not for a shock 2-1 loss to Japan in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, Germany would have likely gone much further. They bounced back from that defeat to the Blue Samurai with a 1-1 draw with a strong Spanish side before dismantling Costa Rica 4-2 to close out their tournament. 

The Germans will hope that youngster Jamal Musiala builds off a strong World Cup where he was credited with 7.67 shot-creating actions per 90 and an even better 22-23 Bundesliga campaign where he scored 12 goals and had ten assists for Bayern in his 19-year-old season. The kid is only going to get much better.

England

The English are the top-ranked side in Group C of Euro qualifiers with wins over Ukraine (2-0) and Italy (2-1).

Gareth Southgate’s side is winning games they should (against Ukraine) and those where they’re second best (vs Italy). Against the Azzurri, England only had 42% of the possession and 42% of the shots, they even went down a man in the 80th minute thanks to a Luke Shaw red card and still won 2-1. 

With Southgate’s contract over in December of 2024, this will likely be his final major tournament. His sides have come close to glory a few times but never won a title. Sadly for the three lions, their returns have been diminishing for the last few years.

England Under Southgate
Tournament Finish
2018 World Cup 4th
2022 Wold Cup 6th
2020 Euro Runner-Up
2019 UEFA Nations League 3rd
2021 UEFA Nations League 9th
2023 UEFA Nations League 15th

2024 Euro Dark horse

Every Euro tournament has its dark horse. A team comes out of nowhere and makes a deep run and upsets the landscape. 

In 2020, that was the Swiss who finished third in Group A and made it to the Quarter-Finals after beating France in the Round of 16.

Who should you have your eyes on in 2024?

Netherlands

The Dutch are no strangers to this competition. They won it once in 1988 and placed third four times. That last third-place finish came in 2004. 

At the 2022 World Cup, the Flying Dutchmen finished fourth with the third youngest squad in the competition. They had an average age of 26. Forward Cody Gakpo was a revelation with three goals in five matches for the Oranje in Qatar. 

There’s a lot to like about Holland. At +1400, keep an eye on their qualifying. 

Croatia

The Croatians are at the top of Group D with four points in two qualifiers. Remember, they finished as runners-up at the 2018 World Cup and then third in Qatar. Never discount Croatia at a major international tournament. With +3500 odds you could make $350 on a $10 bet backing them this early. That’s very tempting. 

Last Five Euro Winners

Last 5 Euro Winners
Year Team Opening Odds
2004 Greece +15000
2008 Spain +450
2012 Spain +250
2016 Portugal +1800
2020 Italy +700

 

Favorites typically win this tournament. They have deep squads overflowing with some of the most talented players in all of Europe. But every few years a dark horse goes all the way and is crowned Kings of Europe.

At +15000 Greece, and those who bet on them, haven’t yet forgotten about that tournament in 2004.

Last Five Euro Runners-Up

2008 Germany Lost 1-0 to Spain

2020 England Lost 3-2 to Italy**

The Euro finals are a low-scoring affair. Over the last five tournaments, three or more goals have been scored only once. It’s worth exploring the UNDER when the Final comes up in July of 2024.

How to Read Euro 2024 Odds

At any soccer betting site, you’ll see futures odds laid out like so:

  • England +500
  • Belgium +550
  • France +550
  • Spain +700

If you were to make a traditional straight-up bet, the favorite would be shown with the minus sign (-). In cases like these where there is no clear front-runner, the country with the lowest odds is the fave even if they’re all represented with the plus sign (+) which is generally used to demonstrate underdogs.

Let’s say you’ve looked at the group schedule and think Belgium is going to dominate and make it all the way to the top. A $100 bet would give you a payout of $650 – your original money is returned coupled with your winnings of $550.

What is a Futures Bet on the Euro Championship?

A futures bet is a wager made far in advance of a big event. Here, the bet is on the quadrennial Euro contest. It can be said that most bets are made prior to a sporting matchup, but futures can be placed weeks, months or even years in advance. In fact, as soon as the last championship is won, new odds will be released.

The odds will shift as the group stage gets closer and continue to move until right before the final is played on July 14, 2024, at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. If you see odds you like, take them to get the most value on your bets (should you win).
