As the legalization of sports betting continues to explode, more and more people are diving into a new way of speculating on sports. For those just starting off, I broke down some of the basics in my gambling 101 piece. Among every category of bets, player props remain the most beatable in the long run. Last year, I hit 59% of my bets for +35 units on the season. The two years prior were much of the same, hitting 57% and 58%, respectively, of my player props for profitable seasons. I have gotten better every year and think that trend will continue with new tools. I’ve already fired off a handful of bets for Week 2 and will be adding more here.

Week 1 review: I can’t even lie, Week 1 wound up being a bit of a disaster for me— by my standards. Those who were in Vegas can confirm I was absolutely tilting my face off over Leonard Fournette. He had zero catches heading into halftime and tipped an easy pass that turned into an interception. Ronald Jones was benched for a fumble prior, but, apparently, Uncle Lenny is immune to that sort of punishment. Instead of getting benched, he went from being an early-down rotational back with stone hands to mossing defenders and playing nearly every snap in the passing game. He racked up five receptions in the second half, demolishing our under. I wanted to go back to the well this week but the #NeverLenny alarms were blaring in my head so loud it was deafening. I know Sam Hoppen is on it but I couldn’t pull the trigger myself. There were a few other tilting losses but none like that. On to Week 2...
