TheLines.com: NFL Week 18 a challenge for oddsmakers, bettors

Published

on

NFL’S FIRST-EVER WEEK 18 WILL PROVIDE CHALLENGES FOR ODDSMAKERS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO THE SEASON’S FINAL WEEK, ACCORDING TO THELINES.COM

(LAS VEGAS) — The majority of playoff berths are clinched ahead of NFL’s first-ever Week 18, which can make games more unpredictable than a typical slate of games, according to TheLines.com, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting market.

Week 18 games with playoff ramifications, though, can be more dependable for oddsmakers. The Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos, the San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams, and the win-or-go-home Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders are among those featuring teams fighting for their playoff lives or have significant seeding implications. Three of those games offer a spread of 5.5 points or less, according to a consensus of that nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars, and PointsBet.

“The final week, in particular, brings a level of uncertainty not seen in any other week because the motivation for teams out of the playoff race is uncertain, and the top teams often rest their best players,” said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. “Games with playoff implications tend to be more dependable, but even then you never quite know how teams respond to playing for their postseason lives. It’s uniquely challenging — and fun — for oddsmakers and bettors.”

The consensus point spreads for Week 18 games, as of Monday, Jan. 3:

  • Kansas City Chiefs (-10) at Denver Broncos; over/under 44.5
  • Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at Philadelphia Eagles; over/under 41.5
  • Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns (-2.5); over/under 44
  • Green Bay Packers (-11) at Detroit Lions; over/under 46.5
  • Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (-3.5); over/under 44.5
  • Washington Football Team (-6.5) at New York Giants; over/under 38.5
  • Indianapolis Colts (-15.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars; over/under 44
  • Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-4.5); over/under 42
  • Tennessee Titans (-10.5) at Houston Texans; over/under 43
  • New Orleans Saints (-4.5) at Atlanta Falcons; over/under 40
  • New York Jets at Buffalo Bills (-16.5); over/under 45
  • New England Patriots (-5.5) at Miami Dolphins; over/under 40
  • Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-9.5); over/under 42.5
  • San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams (-5.5); over/under 44.5
  • Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals (-6.5); over/under 48
  • Los Angeles Chargers (-3) at Las Vegas Raiders; over/under 48.5

Boldplay™, the casino software supplier, has announced its much-anticipated U.S. debut after teaming up with BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, and providing its first set of games Cyborg City, Toro Bravo™, and Gold Metal Ox™.

The new partnership will see Boldplay’s extensive collection of innovative video slots, table games, virtual scratch and keno titles become available to customers in the U.S. market for the very first time, enabling countless players to experience the brand’s signature range of bonus features and jackpots.

Notable highlights to come out of the studio include Boldplay Spins™ – a unique twist on Free Spins that sees the reels spin both vertically and horizontally to create more winning pay lines – and the brand’s flagship jackpot, the Boldplay Superpot™, which gives players of all bankroll levels a chance to win big.

The exclusive nature of the deal will also see BetMGM gain a significant market advantage in the U.S., where it will initially be the only platform able to offer Boldplay™ games. Given these titles have already garnered plenty of critical acclaim from players and operators across Europe, their presence at BetMGM will be a huge draw and will help the platform further enhance its standing in the industry.

This latest collaboration represents another significant step in Boldplay’s evolution from up-and-coming studio to one of the industry’s most sought-after software providers and will allow the brand to extend its reach into new regulated markets – a move CEO, Valli Fragoso, is clearly optimistic about.

“Boldplay™ is thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with BetMGM in an exclusive partnership that will see our games be made available in the U.S. for the very first time,” she said. “By joining forces with such a prestigious operator, we’ll be able to raise the profile of our brand in the country as we continue to expand and we’re looking forward to what should be a hugely successful collaboration.”
