(251) Green Bay Packers at (252) New York Jets: 1H Spread
1:00pm EDT - Sep 20/2026

THE PLAY: 1H Green Bay Packers -2.5 (-110)

Take Green Bay First Half (#251)

This ‘Daily Double’ video offers my take on Sunday NFL action: Packers vs Jets ad Ravens vs Saints.  Here’s a brief write-up of my Green Bay vs New York betting opinion.

I don’t trust the Packers to hold leads right now, considering they’ve blown four double digit leads while losing six straight dating back to last year.  That said, Green Bay has been good enough to build those leads, and the Jets off a dominant showing in Tennessee — heck, the Jets off a rare win — are primed for a lesser performance here. Geno Smith wasn’t touched by the Titans defense; the Packers sacked Carson Wentz three times last Sunday and picked off Kyler Murray once.  Look for the Packers to get the lead here, and with our ‘first half’ bet, we won’t need to worry if they blow it.  Take the Packers FIRST HALF.

(107) Miami Florida at (108) Wake Forest: Total
7:30pm EDT - Sep 18/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 56.5 (-110)

Take Miami- Wake Forest OVER (#107-108)

This ‘Daily Double’ video offers my take on Friday Night College Football: Miami vs Wake Forest and Texas Tech vs Houston  Here’s a brief write-up of my Miami - Wake opinion.

Wake Forest has been an Over machine; 6-0 to the Over in their last six contests dating back to last year.  Their defense is gassed off a double OT affair at Purdue, bad news against the ‘Canes dynamic attack, with WR Malachi Toney and QB Darian Mensah rising near the top of the Heisman Trophy odds board.  Miami was missing their top three cornerbacks last week - -not a problem vs Florida A&M but quite likely a problem against the Demon Deacons on Friday Night.  Expect touchdowns in bunches.  Take the OVER.

(103) Detroit Lions at (104) Buffalo Bills: Total
8:15pm EDT - Sep 17/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 54.5 (-114)

Take Detroit - Buffalo OVER (#103-104)

The Bills offense was nearly unstoppable in Week 1, hanging 36 poits on an elite Texans stop unit.  On Thursday, they’ll take on a Lions defense missing three of their four projected starters in the secondary (both safties hurt and CB Arnold got cut after an off-field incident).  Bills TE Dalton Kincaid, talking about his healthy unit: “When we're at full strength, it's hard to beat us.”  The Lions just gave up 30 points after halftime vs a mediocre (at best) Saints offense and will be playing off an OT game (on the field for 86 plays vs New Orleans) on a short week with travel.  That’s no recipe for a shutdown showing.  But the Bills defense just got lit up by CJ Stroud; bad news vs a better QB with superior weapons surrounding him.  Expect touchdowns in bunches!  Take the OVER.

(119) North Carolina at (120) Clemson: Spread
12:00pm EDT - Sep 19/2026

THE PLAY: North Carolina +3.5 (-113)

Take North Carolina (#119)

The ‘Wake Up & Win’ video posted below is for Saturday’s college football: early start games Clemson - North Carolina and Georgia - Arkansas.  Here’s a brief write-up for the Tar Heels - Tigers matchup.

I’ve been betting full time in Las Vegas since 1998; this is my 29th consecutive football season betting here in Sin City.  If there’s ONE lesson I’ve learned over the years, it’s this: When a supposed contender team starts to go south, they become unbettable.  Look no further than Florida State over the previous two seasons under Mike Norvell, or LSU to close out the Brian Kelly era for two recent examples.  Clemson certainly has that ‘feel’ in 2026; not a team I can comfortably support laying points as a favorite.  Belichick alone is probably worth a field goal against Dabo!  Live dog here!  Take North Carolina

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.
