00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.
00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I am joined by Matt Horner and we have an NFL odds boost
00:11for all of you today for the final week of the regular season.
00:14This is on Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to each score a touchdown boosted to plus
00:19250 at Caesars.
00:20Matt, what do you think of this boost?
00:22Yeah, you know, it sucks.
00:24We're in week 18 now.
00:25We're at the end of the season.
00:28Yeah, I know.
00:29It's insane.
00:30It's it's terrible.
00:31I love football.
00:32Unfortunately, my team's terrible, but you know what?
00:35I still love watching football in any form.
00:38So and in this one here, you know, you got the Ravens going up against the Browns.
00:42The Ravens are like the biggest favorite I've ever seen.
00:46It's absolutely insane.
00:47What are they, 20 and a half point favorites now against the Cleveland Browns in an NFL
00:52football game.
00:53They're almost three touchdown favorites.
00:56I just, it's unbelievable to me.
00:59You almost have to bet the Browns.
01:00How could you bet the Ravens laying that many points in an NFL game?
01:03It's just so difficult to do.
01:05But yeah, I mean, we need Lamar here to score a touchdown.
01:08Obviously Lamar is liable to do that every single week.
01:11He's a superstar and he runs the ball and they need to win this game.
01:14So obviously he can certainly do that.
01:17Derrick Henry is even more incentivized to do it because of the amount of money that
01:21he can earn by scoring a touchdown.
01:25Plus he'll tie or will he break?
01:28I forget.
01:29I wrote this article yesterday on the incentives that some of these players have this week
01:32because everybody loves betting into that.
01:34And he'll either tie or he'll break Jamal Lewis's record for touchdowns for the Ravens
01:40in a season by getting one more touchdown.
01:42So obviously he has that incentive as well to get one.
01:45So yeah, I don't mind this at all.
01:48You got one guy who definitely wants to do it for money purposes and Lamar who's liable
01:51to do it every single week and they need to win the game.
01:53So you know, half year on this.
01:56Definitely something fun to sweat out.
01:57Love that.

02:35Our favorite bets for today, for this weekend, for anything going forward, I am taking the
02:39Lions money line against the Vikings.
02:42This is minus 155 at BetMGM.
02:45This is going to be an incredible game.
02:47Some are saying the game of the regular season.
02:49So I think the Lions will come away with the win, though, of this game.
02:53Somebody's got to win.
02:54I think it will be the Lions.
02:55And with a win here, of course, they will also take the NFC North and they all have
02:59the number one seed.
03:00This game will also feature the most combined wins for any regular season game in NFL history.
03:07And the winner will be only the ninth team in NFL history to finish a regular season
03:13with 15 or more wins.
03:15There's a lot of the line here.
03:16I see the Lions being the team that wins this game here and wins all of that, too.
03:21So Lions money line against the Vikings.
03:24Yeah, that's pretty nuts that whichever one of these teams loses is going to have 14 wins
03:29and they're going to be a fifth seed and play on the road in a wild card.
03:33You have 14 wins.
03:34How is that even possible?
03:36He's just like, what is this format we have with the playoffs?
03:39It's absolutely insane to me that that's a thing.
03:42Unbelievable.
03:43But, you know, people should be complaining about that just as much as they are in a college
03:46football playoff with the blowouts in Indiana and stuff.
03:49I mean, that's ridiculous to me.
03:52All right. You know what else is absolutely ridiculous to me?
03:54How many times I've hit the New York Jets.
03:57That's absolutely ridiculous to me.
03:59But I do it seemingly almost weekly at this point, even if it doesn't win, because, you
04:04know, everybody, nobody wants it.
04:07Nobody, I should say, wants to bet the New York Jets.
04:09And every single week, the Sharps are on the Jets.
04:11Sharps every single week.
04:12Hammer the Jets. The line always, always moves in their favor.
04:15It's absolutely insane to me.
04:17They're facing the Miami Dolphins this weekend.
04:20The Dolphins are 8-8 and they're not actually eliminated.
04:23They could still make the playoffs, the possibility.
04:26So they'll actually be trying in this game.
04:28The New York Jets have absolutely no reason to play.
04:31They are terrible.
04:33They just got blown out 40-14 by the Buffalo Bills last week.
04:37Aaron Rodgers had maybe one of the worst games I've ever seen a quarterback play.
04:41He was a disaster.
04:43And yet the Jets here are basically a pick-up with a team that actually needs to win the
04:48game and will be trying.
04:49Why? Why are they a pick-up?
04:52Does anybody know?
04:53Everybody's going to bet the Dolphins because they're actually incentivized to win against
04:56a terrible Jets team.
04:57And yet some places actually have the Dolphins as underdogs to the Jets.
05:02Unbelievable.
05:03It's insane to me.
05:05So you know the Sharps, once again, like I said, they're on the Jets.
05:08So I bet the Jets.
05:10I'll give that out here as my bet.
05:13If you don't want to bet it, I don't blame you.
05:15I really don't at all because the Jets are so painful to sweat every single week.
05:21But I do it and that is just what I do.
05:23That's how I bet the NFL.
05:25So maybe the New York Jets, plus one and a half, you can get them at Fandul right now.
05:30That's the best number.
05:32Best one everywhere else.
05:34Plus 100 on the money line if you want to do that.
05:37I wouldn't mind.
05:38Nice.
05:39It is a very wonky week in the NFL.
05:41So it is.
05:42Pick your spot.
05:43So maybe not the worst bet.
05:44So we will see.
05:45It'll be a very interesting weekend.
05:46But get in on the odds boost, plus $250 at Caesars and our bets.
