Some sportsbooks offer “Big 2” bets - which is the Packers OR Bucs to win the NFC, and Chiefs OR Titans to win the AFC at around -150 each.

Here is why this number is short and I think the “YES” on both is a good bet: 👇🏻

🧵
Starting in the NFC, according to my numbers, GB is 2/1 or has a 50% chance to reach the Super Bowl and Tampa Bay has a 24% chance. If you add the two, since you need either one to win to hit the bet, you get a 74% Packers or Bucs win the NFC.
74% translates to -285 in American odds, which is much higher than the -150 line and the implied 40% probability. “Yes”, on the #Bucs or #Packers to win the conference is a solid bet at the current price.
It’s the same story in the AFC. My numbers have the #Chiefs at 38% and the #Titans at 31%, which is a 69% chance one of them reaches the SB. This equals -223 in US odds, making the current price of -150 way short. I am taking the, “Yes,” here also.

Every day during the NHL season I wake up and run my “Expected Goals per Minute,” (xGPM) prediction model. 🏒

I wanted to give you guys a glimpse into what that process looks like so that you know I’m not just throwing darts everyday. 👇

🧵 1/12
I start by updating the line combinations for each team playing that day by running queries in Microsoft Excel. As lineups often change daily or weekly, resulting in varying xGPM, it’s critical to get the correct daily line combinations or everything else will be askew. 💻

I run the queries in Excel to webscrape the data from @DailyFaceoff - a terrible website to navigate but one with the best and most up-to-date info. This gives me the daily line combinations for each team playing that day - which is usually updated after morning skate. ♻️
