(467) Las Vegas Raiders at (468) San Francisco 49ers: Spread
4:25pm EST - Nov 8/2026

THE PLAY: San Francisco 49ers -10.0 (-106)

Take San Francisco (#468)

The Daily Double video below offers Free Plays for the 49ers - Raiders and the Packers - Patriots games on Sunday.  Here’s a brief write-up for the Vegas - San Francisco game.

The 49ers are coming off a bad, four turnovers defeat in Atlanta before their bye week — there’s some urgency for Kyle Shanahan’s squad off that debacle.  San Fran also enjoys a significant rest edge compared to Las Vegas.  Teams with extra rest have been $$ in the NFL this year, an emerging trend worth riding here.  Las Vegas isn’t getting many stops these days — a dismal defensive team in recent weeks — and they’re coming off a very satisfying win to snap a four game skid.  Expect a new skid to start here in a game the Niners are primed to win by margin!  Take the 49ers.

(451) Cincinnati Bengals at (452) Atlanta Falcons: Total
9:30am EST - Nov 8/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 52.5 (-110)

Take Atlanta – Cincinnati OVER (#451-452)

The ‘Daily Double’ video below = ‘Free Play’ bets for the Bengals – Falcons from Madrid and the Broncos – Panthers from North Carolina, clipped from Friday's 'Wagertalk Today'.  Here’s a brief write-up for Cinci- Atlanta.

Joe Burrow is on fire right now; Cinci’s receiving corps healthy and making big plays every week.  Atlanta just suffered through a monsoon in Tampa last week, but prior to that debacle the Falcons had averaged 32 points a game since Michael Penix took over behind center after missing the first few games.  Don’t expect a quagmire in Spain, but do expect two offenses that are better than the two defenses facing them.  Expect touchdowns in bunches. Take the OVER.

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.
