THE PLAY: Total Over 9.0 (-113) Action

Take New York Yankees - Minnesota OVER (#925-926)

Very quietly, waaaay underneath the radar, both the Yankees and the Twins have been cashing Overs consistently for the last month!  New York is 19-10 to the Over in their last 29 games, Minnesota is 20-8 other the Over in their last 28.  Both teams are in excellent current offensive form; neither squad has a fresh bullpen after yesterday's wild slugfest.  Expect crooked numbers on the scoreboard again tonight!  Take the OVER.

(329) Illinois at (330) Indiana
7:30pm EDT - Sep 20/2025

THE PLAY: Indiana -4.5 (-110)

Take Indiana (#330)

The last two meetings between the Hoosiers and the Illini were decided by exactly a field goal; one of them in OT.  Indiana is not battle tested; lined at -23, -36 and -47 in their first three games, while Illinois notched a road win (by margin), forcing five turnovers in a blowout as -2.5 favorites at Duke.  That said, Indiana is not a team primed to turn the ball over in bunches, even against defensive minded foes.  Indiana’s offensive line is elite; their offense is balanced and their special teams are primed to help the Hoosiers win the field position battle all night.  It’s surely worth noting that Indiana is 9-2 ATS in eleven home games in the Curt Cignetti era; an emerging trend worth riding.  And it’s not like Brett Bielema has a ‘we trust him stepping up in class’ track record here in Champaign or in previous stops. Chalk worth laying.  Take Indiana.

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.
