NFL Betting Picks: Siding with the UNDER in LA Rams @ Panthers and Bills @ Jags Wildcard Action Backing the UNDER in interdivision NFL Wildcard action has proven profitable, historically. Adhering to this simple rule of thumb has delivered a win rate that is statistically significantly higher than the breakeven threshold, assuming the standard vigorish, good for a 14% long-term return on investment. We hypothesize that casual bettors' overoptimism explains this phenomenon. W

The Broncos, Seahawks, Patriots, Jaguars, Bears, Rams, 49ers, Texans, Bills, Chargers, and Packers all made the postseason cut this year, after missing the mark in 2024-25.

History suggests Kennedy Nzechukwu is somewhat undervalued at -135, and we are counting a wager on the slight favorite for the win among our betting picks for UFC Fight Night: Royval vs. Kape.

The antepenultimate match-up on the UFC 323 card pits Brandon “The Assassin Baby” Moreno against Tatsuro “The Best” Taira in the Flyweight division. Taira is just over six years Moreno’s junior and will enter the octagon after on the heels of a bounce-back win over Hyun Sung Park. Moreno will enter Saturday’s action after collecting consecutive wins over Steve Erceg and Amir Albazi (following back-to-back losses).

We are siding with Bogdan Guskov Saturday in what might be (...i.e., probably should be) Jan Blachowicz's swan song. In fact, Guskov's moneyline is our highest-conviction betting pick of the entire UFC 323 slate.
