Super Bowl LVI Prop Bets to Make

by WagerHome Blog on February 10, 2022

You’ve been analyzing and re-analyzing the 4-5-point spread that favors the Rams since the day after the Super Bowl matchup was set. But don’t forget about the prop bets, which truly make the Super Bowl the most fun wagering event of the season.

You’ve got the fun props, like the length of the National Anthem, the color of singer Mickey Guyton’s outfit, and how many planes will be in the flyover.

There are, however, more serious props, and lots of them. These are the props that, with a little bit of research, can make you money.

Cooper Kupp Over 106.5 Receiving Yards

One of the best bets all season long has been Cooper Kupp hitting the over. We’re going to roll with Kupp one last time, with his over/under line at 106.5 receiving yards.

Kupp has gone over 107 yards in 11 of his last 14 games, including the last two – 183 yards against the Bucs and 142 yards against the 49ers. The Bengals gave up 142 yards to A.J. Brown two games ago, and they will give up at least 107 to Kupp. He goes OVER.

Bengals Team Rushing Yards Under 85.5

One of the keys to the Bengals beating the Chiefs was their 116 rushing yards as a team. However, that was their first game over 85 yards since Week 15 against the Broncos – a string of six games of going under 85 yards.

The Rams defense is good against the run and just held the 49ers to 70 yards as a team. Look for the Bengals to go UNDER.

Rams Total Sacks Over 3.5

A lot has been made of the Bengals’ offensive line and how it led the league this year in sacks allowed, including the nine they allowed to the Titans. Seven times in the 2021 regular season, they allowed four or more sacks, and the Rams went over four sacks in a game four times.

Under 3.5 pays -135, while taking the over pays +105, and that’s why we’re going OVER on 3.5 team sacks.

Super Bowl MVP

While it is likely for either Matthew Stafford or Joe Burrow to win the MVP, there are some very appealing payoffs if you go with someone else.

Super Bowl LVI Prop Bets to Make

Aaron Donald comes with a +1600 payday if he wins the MVP. Ja’Marr Chase for the Bengals is paying +1800, although if he has a big day, so will Burrow, and the voters would probably lean toward the quarterback.

Von Miller, who already has a Super Bowl MVP, is paying +4500 if he wins a second one. And give the two main running backs a look. Cam Akers is at +3500, and Joe Mixon is paying +4500.

Waste Management Phoenix Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 9, 2022

From the entertainment of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, to the large crowds at the Waste Management Phoenix Open that spend most of the weekend entertaining themselves – that is the portion of the PGA Tour season where we find ourselves.

The field is great, with 18 of the top 30 players in the world making the trip. The cheering will be loud, fueled by an estimated 750,000 servings of beer that will be sold at “The People’s Open,” as it is often called.

And it’s not there yet, but there are plans to build a 12,000-square foot brick-and-mortar sportsbook on the grounds of TPC Scottsdale, funded by the PGA Tour. So if you can’t make it to Arizona this weekend, put it on your bucket list.

Favorites to Win Waste Management Phoenix Open

  • Jon Rahm (+750)
  • Justin Thomas (+1200)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+1400)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+1600)
  • Viktor Hovland (+1600)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2000)
  • Xander Schauffele (+2500)
  • Daniel Berger (+2500)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+2500)
  • Brooks Koepka (+3300)
  • Sam Burns (+3300)

Jon Rahm is, of course, the favorite to win the tournament as the best player in the world. We say that every week because every week it’s true, and in one of these, probably very soon, he’s actually going to win. He finished second at the Sentry a month ago and finished tied for third two weeks ago at the Farmers.

Jordan Spieth is coming off a crazy weekend on the Monterey Peninsula. He was 11 back of the lead when Saturday teed off, shot a 63 that day, took the lead briefly on Sunday, and eventually finished the tournament as the runner-up.

Last year in Scottsdale, he shot a third round 61, eventually finishing tied for fourth. At +2000, Spieth is worth a look.

It’s also worth giving Brooks Koepka a look. His +3300 is very attractive for a guy who is the defending champion at Scottsdale. He hasn’t had a great start to 2022, missing the cut at the Farmers. But along with his win last year at this event, he also won here in 2015.

Waste Management Phoenix Open Betting Preview

Longer Shots to Consider

Webb Simpson won this tournament in 2020, and he’s paying +4000. Also at +4000 is Seamus Power, who had as much as a five-shot lead at Pebble Beach before finishing in the top-10.

Corey Conners finished 11th at the Sony Open four weeks ago, and he’s paying +5000. He’s also improved in his last two visits to Scottsdale, finishing 45th in 2020 and 17th in 2021.

Keith Mitchell, at +6600, is also an attractive play. He was seventh at the Sony Open, finished tied for 12th at Pebble Beach, and was 16th in Scottsdale in 2020.

After Phoenix, the PGA Tour goes to Pacific Palisades; then it heads east for the Florida swing. If you are an independent bookmaker taking bets on golf, this is the time to partner with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com.

Early Super Bowl LVI Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 2, 2022

It’s been a whirlwind the last couple of weeks. Two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks have retired, and the end of an era of greatness leaves with Tom Brady.

The Washington Football Team is no more, as we now have the Washington Commanders. And in true Washington fashion, they couldn’t keep it a secret, and the big announcement was spoiled by a leak.

And, of course, we still have a Super Bowl to play, with two of the game’s best quarterbacks making their first appearance in the big game.

Los Angeles Rams (-4.5)

It was just three years ago that the Rams were in the Super Bowl, so as a team, this is nothing new. But that Rams iteration was led by quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley, and wide receivers Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks.

Now it’s Matthew Stafford under center, Cooper Kupp has gone from the third receiver on the team to the best receiver in all of football, and joining Aaron Donald on defense is All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

One added twist to the Rams’ return to the Super Bowl is that in Super Bowl LIII, played in Atlanta, the Rams were the home team. Here in Los Angeles, in their home stadium, they are the away team.

Cincinnati Bengals

For the Bengals, it’s been a little longer since they were last in the Super Bowl. Head coach Zac Taylor was just five years old when Cincinnati lost to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII. By the time Joe Burrow was born in 1996, Boomer Esiason was playing in Arizona, Icky Woods had been retired for five years, and Cris Collinsworth had been in broadcasting for seven years.

Early Super Bowl LVI Betting Preview

This is a new Bengals team and the newest powerhouse on the NFL block. Just two years ago, they were 2-14 and the worst team in the NFL, which is how they got Burrow. Last year they were still bad, finishing 4-12, and that’s how they got Ja’Marr Chase.

To be the AFC Champion, and now a game away from their first-ever Super Bowl championship, is more than anyone in Cincinnati could have hoped.

Super Bowl Matchup

The quarterback and wide receiver play is going to be great in this game, without question. But if you want to know why the Rams are the favorite, it’s simple. They have a better secondary and are much better against the pass, and they are much better along the line of scrimmage.

The Bengals nearly lost in the division round because they gave up nine sacks to the Titans and Jeffery Simmons. Now they face Aaron Donald, who is even better.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on February 1, 2022

After a year away from one of the most fun weekends on the golf calendar, the fans are back at Pebble Beach because the celebrities are also back.

Bill Murray will, of course, headline the event, but a number of other familiar faces will be Pebble Beach, including actors Don Cheadle, Ray Romano, and Alfonso Ribeiro. Returning celebrity athletes include Steve Young and Larry Fitzgerald, as well as first-time participants Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and Mookie Betts of the Dodgers.

As much as some people are happy to have the celebrities, many of the top golfers are not. Being paired with an amateur in the cold and wind of the Monterey Peninsula and the long rounds that come with it have chased most of the top golfers to Dubai. Only one top-10 player, Patrick Cantlay, is in this weekend’s field.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Favorites

  • Patrick Cantlay (+650)
  • Daniel Berger (+1100)
  • Will Zalatoris (+1800)
  • Jason Day (+2000)
  • Jordan Spieth (+2000)
  • Cameron Tringale (+2500)
  • Justin Rose (+2500)
  • Maverick McNealy (+2800)
  • Seamus Power (+2800)
  • Lanto Griffin (+3300)
  • Matt Fitzpatrick (+3300)

As the highest-ranking player in the field, Patrick Cantlay is the natural favorite. He has two top-10 finishes in 2022. He finished third at this event in 2021, 11th in 2020, and had a top-10 finish the very first time he teed up at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2013.

Perhaps no one is more consistently good at the Pro-Am than Jason Day. Paying more than three times what a Cantlay bet pays, Day has eight top-10 finishes at this event, and he’s been in the top-five in five of his last six starts. He also just finished in third last weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Will Zalatoris, paying +1800, was the runner-up at the Farmers at Torrey Pines, losing in a playoff. The week before at The American Express, he finished tied for sixth. He has not done well at the Pro-Am, finishing 55th last year. But his excellent form in January has him deservedly near the top of the favorites board.

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Betting Preview

Top Value Bets

Maverick McNealy is paying +2800, and considering how he plays at this event, he might be the steal of the tournament. He was the runner-up here last year and tied for fifth the year before that. McNealy also just played three great rounds at Torrey Pines before struggling over the last 18.

Kevin Streelman is paying +5000, and he’s got three top-fives at this event over the last four years, including a runner-up in 2020. Michael Thompson was a top-five finisher at the Sony Open and was 11th last week at Torrey Pines. He’s paying +6600.

AFC and NFC Championship Betting Previews

by WagerHome Blog on January 26, 2022

We are back with another NFL betting preview! There is absolutely no way that this weekend can match the excitement of the Divisional Round. Every single one of the four games ended with a walk-off win.

But as a consolation to not being the best weekend of football, this is the most important weekend of the season, with the winners on Sunday headed to Super Bowl LVI. Check out our AFC and NFC Championship betting previews below!

AFC Championship Betting Preview – Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs (-7)

Both of these quarterbacks need the week off. Joe Burrow, in his last-second win over the Titans, was sacked nine times. He needs a week in a hot tub before he plays the Chiefs.

For Patrick Mahomes, he needs the week to return his heart rate back to normal. In the final two minutes and overtime of his last-second win over the Bills, there were 31 points scored, four lead changes, and Mahomes himself threw for 177 yards after the two-minute warning.

So can the Bengals, who have scored a total of 47 points in their two playoff games, keep up with the Chiefs, who have scored a total of 84 points in their two playoff games?

Fortunately, we don’t have to wonder. These teams played one another less than four weeks ago, and the Bengals did keep pace with Kansas City, actually winning 34-31 on a final-play field goal. You might remember that Ja’Marr Chase was incredible, going for 266 yards, and he has gone over 100 yards in each round of the playoffs.

Yes, the Bengals can keep pace with the Chiefs, and with a large seven-point spread, they will cover.

NFC Championship Betting Preview – San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams (-3.5)

This is another rematch from the regular season and another one where the visiting underdog was the winner the first time around. For the 49ers, it was actually two wins against the Rams this season, and if you want to go back even further, they’ve now won six-straight games against their Southern California rivals.

Because of that Week 18 win in Los Angeles that put San Francisco into the postseason, they have a longer winning streak. But heading into the NFC Championship, at least on the offensive side of the ball, they have the most question marks.

Jimmy Garoppolo did not play well against the Cowboys, and he did not play well against the Packers. Jimmy G has 303 yards passing, no touchdowns, and two interceptions in the playoffs, but amazingly the 49ers have been winning.

Matthew Stafford is playing great in L.A., with 568 yards and four touchdowns in the playoffs, and the Rams offense is clicking in a way that will make it very tough for the 49ers on Sunday. Not only does L.A. win the game, but they also win it by at least a touchdown and cover this spread.

Farmers Insurance Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on January 25, 2022

In a bit of a twist, because the PGA Tour doesn’t want to compete against the NFL, this weekend’s golf tournament at Torrey Pines tees off on Wednesday, with the final round scheduled for Saturday.

PGA Tour president Tyler Dennis thanked the Farmers Insurance Open for its “innovative thinking with this shift in competition days” and applauded the “action-packed weekend for sports fans” that it has helped to create.

Torrey Pines has traditionally been the start of the PGA Tour season on CBS (broadcast home of the AFC Championship Game), and it’s also produced some of the most exciting results anywhere on Tour.

Favorites to Win Farmers Insurance Open

  • Jon Rahm (+700)
  • Justin Rose (+1400)
  • Bryson DeChambeau (+1800)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1800)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+2000)
  • Sam Burns (+2200)
  • Daniel Berger (+2200)
  • Dustin Johnson (+2500)
  • Tony Finau (+2500)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+2800)

The tournament is played on the two courses at Torrey Pines, the South and North course, with the South course measuring more than 7,700 yards. The South course is where the tournament will finish, and it’s not only a monster in length but narrow and with deep rough. Being great off the tee is imperative.

Jon Rahm is, of course, the favorite as the No. 1 golfer in the world. But four other members of the top-10 in the world are at Torrey Pines this week – Dustin Johnson (4th), Xander Schauffele (6th), Bryson DeChambeau (9th), and Hideki Matsuyama (10th).

Farmers Insurance Open Betting Preview

There are two challenges for golfers, in that you need to do well on the South course, and not surprisingly, 10 of the last 16 winners here ranked among the leaders in driving distance. But you also need to do well on the North course, because that’s where you can make up strokes on the competition.

Golfers to Watch

Will Zalatoris mania has its roots in how he’s done in the Majors, but he was also seventh at the Farmers a year ago. He is still in search of his first career win, and this might be the place where it happens. He’s paying +3000.

Bryson DeChambeau has the necessary length off the tee, and while he has missed in the cut in his previous two Farmers starts, he does typically do well in California. The native Californian had a strong 54 holes at Torrey Pines at last year’s U.S. Open before fading with a final round 77.

Another golfer who plays well in California is Tony Finau. Last year he was a runner-up at the Farmers, was fourth at The American Express, and runner-up at The Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades. He’s gone top-10 in four of his last five Torrey Pines starts.

Free NFL Divisional Round Betting Previews

by WagerHome Blog on January 19, 2022

Perhaps 14 teams is too many. The seven seeds lost their two games by a combined 38 points, and the Patriots, one of the six seeds, lost by 37 points.

And none of those three games were even that close.

But this, the Divisional Round, now that the fat has been trimmed, is always the best weekend of the year.

Cincinnati Bengals (+3.5) at Tennessee Titans

What a way for the Divisional Round weekend to kick off. It’s Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense versus Derrick Henry’s return (fingers crossed), a top-10 defense, and the top seed in the AFC.

Sometimes it’s good to have a bye, and other times it’s good to keep rolling. The Bengals got both, resting their starters in Week 18 and now going into Tennessee on the momentum of winning their first playoff game in 31 years.

This will be a close game, decided by a field goal or less, and look for the Bengals to cover.

Divisional Round

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers (-6)

Nick Bosa isn’t practicing, and we’re not sure he’s going to play. Jimmy Garoppolo has yet another injury he has to deal with. Meanwhile, the Packers are getting healthier, with both Za’Darius Smith and Jaire Alexander back at practice this week.

But even if they don’t play, this Packers team is chasing destiny. Look for the Packers to cover with the point spread at less than a touchdown.

Los Angeles Rams (+3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs defense seems to be getting healthy, but their offense took another hit when All-Pro tight tackle Tristan Wirfs went down on Sunday with an ankle injury. He hasn’t been ruled out, but we do know he won’t practice until at least Friday. We also saw that without Wirfs, that offensive line struggled.

Now comes Aaron Donald, who specializes in making offensive lines struggle. The Rams looked great, they are healthy, and Matthew Stafford and company are primed to pull off the Divisional Round upset.

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs (-2)

After Saturday night, it was apparent no one was going to beat Josh Allen and the Bills. He had 374 yards of offense and five touchdown passes.

Sunday night, it was evident that no one would beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. He had 432 yards of offense and five touchdown passes.

So what do we make of this Sunday’s game between the two?

It’s going to be a classic and likely come down to the end. But the game is at Arrowhead Stadium – advantage Chiefs – and Patrick Mahomes has a .777 winning percentage in the postseason, which is better than both Tom Brady and Joe Montana.

It’s going to be a great Divisional Round game, with Kansas City winning by three points in the end.

The American Express Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on January 19, 2022

The Hawaiian swing is over, and the PGA Tour is back on the mainland, making its annual stop in La Quinta.

We get three courses in the Palm Springs area, ending with the final round on the Stadium Course at PGA West. We’re also treated to extra golf this weekend, as each of the 156 golfers get 54 holes before the cut instead of just 36. And we should see low scores, as each of the last 14 winners at The American Express (formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic) has been at least 20 under par.

We’re also getting the celebrity pro-am portion of the tournament back after it was suspended last year because of COVID-19.

Favorites to Win The American Express

  • Jon Rahm (+600)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+800)
  • Scottie Scheffler (+1800)
  • Tony Finau (+2000)
  • Sung-jae Im (+2000)
  • Corey Conners (+2200)
  • Talor Gooch (+2500)
  • Abraham Ancer (+2500)
  • Matthew Wolff (+3000)

Of course, Jon Rahm is on top of the favorite’s board. He’s the world’s number one player, he won here in 2018, and he just finished in second at Kapalua, shooting what would have been a record -33, if not for the -34 recorded by Cameron Smith. So any bet on Rahm this weekend is a good bet.

Patrick Cantlay is just behind Rahm, and also for very good reason. He just finished fourth at Kapalua, and last year at this tournament, he finished ninth. That followed his runner-up status in 2019, and in that tournament, he recorded a final round 61 on the Stadium Course.

Other Golfers to Watch

Scottie Scheffler doesn’t have a PGA Tour win yet, but it’s only a matter of time. The 25-year-old finished fourth at Mayakoba in November and second at the Hero World Challenge in December. When he first teed off at The American Express in 2020, he finished third and recorded a 23-under par.

Sung-jae Im is only 23, but he’s making his fourth consecutive start at The American Express, and twice he’s finished in the top-10. Two weeks ago at Kapalua, he finished tied for eighth, following up on a strong finish to 2021, when he won the Shriners Children’s Open in October and was top-10 at the CJ Cup.

The American Express Betting Preview

At the bottom of the above board, paying +3000 is 22-year-old Matthew Wolff. He finished 2021 as a runner-up at the Shriners, tied for fifth at Mayakoba, and tied for 11th at the Houston Open. This is his first start at The American Express, but he ranks 11th on Tour in birdie average, meaning that he will get the kind of low score that is needed to win here on Sunday.

The next month on Tour, we stop at some of the best courses on the West Coast, as we go from La Quinta to Torrey Pines, then up to Pebble Beach. Independent bookmakers who take bets on golf each week must look into joining forces with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com.

NFL Opening Round Playoff Picks

by WagerHome Blog on January 13, 2022

NFL Wild card weekend is here, and the only thing as good as the football from Saturday through Monday night, is the betting.

Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals (-5.5)

The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game in 31 years, losing eight straight playoff games since beating the Houston Oilers 41-14. That eight-game losing streak began with a 20-10 loss to the Raiders, and the streak will end with a win over the Raiders by at least a touchdown.

For the Raiders, this will be their third straight postseason loss.

New England Patriots (+4) at Buffalo Bills

For the third time in just over a month, the Patriots and Bills meet, and that kind of familiarity favors the experience of Bill Belichick.

The Bills offense has struggled since they played the Patriots in Week 16. Josh Allen threw three interceptions in Week 17 and completed just 53 percent of his passes in Week 18.

The Bills may still win, but the Patriots’ defense keeps it to within a field goal.

Philadelphia Eagles (+8.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Except for two games with the Panthers, the Bucs haven’t looked great this last month. There was the near-miss against the Jets, a shut out to the Saints, and a trainer’s room full of injuries.

NFL Opening Round Playoff PicksTom Brady is still Tom Brady, but the 109 yards given up on the ground to Josh Allen in Week 14 is a sign that the top rusher among NFL quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts, and the top-ranked rushing team, the Eagles, will keep this game close.

San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys (-3)

A month ago, it was said that if the Cowboys re-discovered their offense, they were going to be really tough to beat in the postseason. Two 50-burgers in the last three weeks, and this offense, coupled with a defense that ranks seventh in points allowed, should roll at home.

The Niners earned their way into the playoffs, but they will be bounced by more than a touchdown.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs (-13.5)

In 19 playoff games, we have seen a point spread as high as 13 points. The favored team is 18-1 overall (the one loss was by the Rams to the Patriots in the Super Bowl), and against the spread, the favored team is 11-7-1.

The Steelers lost to Kansas City, 36-10, three weeks ago, and that was without Travis Kelce. He’s playing, and the Chiefs win this game easily.

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams (-4)

The Cardinals did get the win in Dallas in Week 17, but they’ve lost the other four of their final fives games and too bad teams in Detroit and Seattle. The Rams backed into the division championship with their own loss in Week 18 but have enough firepower to win this game by a touchdown.

Sony Open Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on January 12, 2022

For the first time in 2022, we have a full field doing battle on the PGA Tour. It’s the Sony Open in Honolulu, and if recent history is our guide, it’s going to be an incredible final round. Last year Kevin Na was behind by three shots with six holes to play and won the tournament with a birdie on the 72nd hole.

He is back this year, trying to be the first repeat champion since 2015. Na will also be joined by 24 of the golfers who played last week on Maui at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, including the winner, Cameron Smith of Australia. He bested Jon Rahm by one stroke over the weekend by breaking the PGA Tour’s 72-hole record with a 34-under par.

Sony Open Betting Favorites

  • Cameron Smith (+800)
  • Webb Simpson (+1200)
  • Marc Leishman (+1600)
  • Sung-Jae Kim (+1600)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (+1800)
  • Corey Conners (+1800)
  • Abraham Ancer (+2200)
  • Russell Henley (+2200)
  • Kevin Na (+2500)
  • Talor Gooch (+2500)

Smith recorded eight birdies in the final round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions, including four over the final six holes, and he is expected to keep playing championship-winning golf. He is your favorite heading into Thursday’s first round. He won here in 2020, so even without his Sentry win, he’d be one of the top golfers this week.

Last year’s champion, Kevin Na, is in the top-10 and paying +2500 as a potential winner.

Players to Watch

One of the players who was on Maui last weekend and playing on Oahu this weekend is Marc Leishman. He tied for 10th at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, and it’s worth noting that seven of the top-10 at the Sony Open last year also played the week before on Maui.

Sony Open Betting PreviewOnly once since 2013 – Cameron Smith last year – has someone who didn’t play the week before won the Sony Open.

So along with Leishman, that bodes well for Talor Gooch at +2500. He shot consecutive 67s on Saturday and Sunday at the Sentry and comes into the Sony Open as a top-10 golfer in strokes gained tee-to-green.

Also think about Russell Henley, who is paying +2200. He did not play last week in Maui, but he did win this event in 2013. His most recent tournament at the Waialae Country Club was in 2018 when he finished 11th.

But as an X-factor to consider when placing your bets, Henley is a 2011 graduate of the University of Georgia, and he just watched his beloved bulldogs beat Alabama to win the National Championship.

Few golfers will be in a better mood when the tournament tees off on Thursday.
