Not every player can get well and beyond their NFL player props total. But for those who might be mispriced, have a better matchup than expected, or can just pile up stats in garbage time, betting milestones and Alt Overs can be profitable even with a low win percentage.
I’ll be using bet365 for most NFL odds as they have become the best book for offering Alt Overs as they have Milestone markets for seemingly every prop. They also give you the green checkmark as soon as the number is hit and bettors are able to cash out immediately, which also helps.
In Week 6, I’m double-dipping on a runner coming off the bye, hitting a couple of marks with the best possession receiver in football, and for the last of my free NFL picks, I’m buying low on a running…
With the final week of the NFL regular season stretching into January, it’s no surprise to see winter weather this weekend.
I dive into the extended forecasts for Saturday and Sunday and see how the rain, snow, and wind will impact the NFL Week 18 odds and outcomes.

The Washington Commanders take on the New York Giants in their first home game of the season on Sunday.
Washington is a slight home favorite but our Giants vs. Commanders predictions are happy to fade these two offenses that combined for just 26 points in Week 1. Read more in our free NFL picks below.
Giants vs Commanders prediction
My best betNeither team to score 3+ unanswered times (+115 at BetMGM)
My analysisThe New York Giants only scored twice in Week 1 — both field goals — and the Washington Commanders scored in each of the final three quarters with two Bucs scores in between. In fact, the Commanders’ final score came in the final minutes of the game with Jayden Daniels running for his second touchdo…
THROWING ONE’S WEIGHT AROUND
The last time we saw our city-boy cousin Buy Sell Buy Sell Red Braces Fuel-Injected Convertible Front-Tail Extension Smug Square-Jawed Floppy-Fringe-Covered Extremely-Smackable-Face Fiver, he was throwing his Bottega Veneta woven loafers up on his desk to wait a month for the Premier League to green-flag the takeover of Newcastle United by popular feelgood collective Saudi Arabia. But only a week later, something else has cropped up, and he wasn’t very happy at all when we shouted at him earlier to get up and do some effing work.

Manchester City will be clear favourites to beat Peterborough United when the teams meet in the fifth round of the FA Cup this week. Even though there is only one division between the clubs, they exist in different worlds. Three divisions separated the clubs the last time they met – their only previous meeting, which was also in the fifth round of the FA Cup – but City fans were not as confident when they travelled to London Road on Valentine’s Day in 1981.
“There’s no way Manchester City can afford to be complacent,” said Peterborough manager Peter Morris. That may sound bullish for a manager who was working in the fourth tier, but City had been humiliated by lower league opponents, Shrewsbury and Halifax, in the previous two se…
The plan
It was another season of relegation struggle and managerial turnover for Leicester last term. A terrible start under Lydia Bedford– who failed to get a single point on the board – led to Willie Kirk, then director of women’s football, taking the reins in November.
Despite improved performances, results remained hard to come by before the winter break and, with a seven-point deficit to overturn, Kirk’s team looked down and out. Astute signings and increased confidence turned things around with safety finally sealed on the final day.
Kirk has used this summer to enforce a squad overhaul and make his own mark on the team. Sixteen players have departed for a var…
Plenty of interesting stories have come from the NBA playoffs so far, starting with Nikola Jokic driving the Denver Nuggets’ chase for consecutive championships after receiving a third career MVP in the regular season.Jayson Tatum leading the Boston Celtics to sheer dominance to a berth in the Eastern Conference finals. On full display has been the grit and grind from Luka Doncic to put the Dallas Mavericks on a back that is supported by two bad knees. And whenever New York finds a superhero, as they have in the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, the plaudits will be breathless and frequent. All of the celebration of Brunson’s clutch gene has been well deserved.Anthony Edwards Has Been MVP of 2024 NBA PlayoffsAt the forefront as the present MVP of the playoffs to date: dynamic Minnesota Timbe…
Here’s a look at the athletes and sports figures we’ve lost in 2022. Kathy Whitworth – Dec. 24 source: Getty Images The winningest golfer in history, Kathy Whitworth, died “suddenly” on Christmas Eve while celebrating with family and friends, according to her longtime partner Bettye Odle. Whitworth, whose 88 victories are the most by any player on a single pro tour, was 83. She was the first woman to earn $1 million on the LPGA. Her first title came in 1962 and last in 1985. “Kathy left this world the way she lived her life, loving, laughing and creating memories,” Odle said in a statement. Stephan Bonnar – Dec. 22 source: Getty Images UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar died Thursday from presumed heart complications, the organization said in a statement. The mixed mar…
This may or may not be a good thing for women's sports: "I think we are well on our way to getting rid of that image," midfielder Julia Simic told Playboy. "More and more sweet, pretty girls are playing football who also go shopping and place value on their appearance." Well, I suppose that's nice and all, but the reunified Germany inherited a rich tradition of success in international women's sports from its eastern half. Some of those ladies were doped to the gills, and developed male features, but I'll be damned if they weren't the best at what they did. Tread lightly, pigtailed ones.
