THE PLAY: Detroit Lions -6.0 (-112)
Take Detroit (#264)
The Packers dominating defensive showing against Washington on Thursday Night tells us that Detroit's ‘no-show’ on offense last week had more to do with Jeff Hafley's defense than their own issues. The quotes coming out of Dan Campbell's locker room this week speak of a motivated favorite, primed for redemption agianst a Bears team travelling on a short week off a truly demoralizing loss on Monday Night. Chalk worth laying! Take the Lions.
THE PLAY: Miami Dolphins -122
Take Miami on the MONEYLINE (#252)
I understand how awful the Dolphins were in Week 1, embarrassed at Indianapolis. Mike McDaniel summed it up: “When you lose the turnover game (minus-3), you turn the ball over on downs, you run into the kicker, you have 12 guys in the huddle, and you only have 20 minutes with the ball in your possession, that’s a formula for failure and nothing else. We have one direction to go from here —and it’s the opposite direction of what this effort produced.” Tua, following the game: "We don't want to overreact, and we don't want to underreact -- we want to make sure we get this right so that this never happens again." This game is Miami’s season and they know it. Heck, it could be McDaniel’s job, and he knows it. I’m expecting a MUCH better effort AND execution this week against a Patriots team that went 4-13 last year; looking very much like a 4-13 type team in 2025, despite the coaching change. In this ‘very short favorite’ pointspread range, I’ll take Miami on the MONEYLINE, so we get paid if they win, regardless of margin. Take the Dolphins on the Moneyline.

Consultant Bio
Ted Sevransky (better known as Teddy Covers) moved to Las Vegas to bet on sports full-time back in 1998 and he's been doing it successfully ever since. During that time, Teddy has been featured prominently in the mainstream press. Print highlights include the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Las Vegas Review Journal and Playboy magazine. Television highlights include CBS This Morning, CNBC, PBS and Bloomberg TV. Teddy starred in the recent sports betting documentary Life on the Line and has been featured in an ESPN 30-for-30 and on Showtime's 'Action' miniseries.
Teddy is a 1992 University of Michigan graduate. His handicapping approach is fine tuned for the modern betting marketplace in 2025; a market that is dominated by stat-based quants - the ‘sharp money’. In one sentence, Teddy looks to identify and identify and isolate 'morphing' teams -- teams that are currently playing at a different level or pace (better or worse; faster or slower) than their long term statistical profile would indicate. Those become teams to bet on, bet against, bet over and bet under, until the quants catch up with current realities and value them correctly.
This ‘Ride the Hot & Fade the Cold’ approach has allowed Teddy to provide for himself and his family with steady income from his sports betting winnings, over nearly three decades. And those decades of experience grinding it out in Vegas enables Teddy to avoid many of the traps and pitfalls that befall ‘cappers. Experience DOES matter in this business. Teddy is one bettor who can handle the highs and lows of this sometimes zany and always exciting business with consistent, calm professionalism.
