Lamar Jackson Pushes Baltimore Towards Concerted Super Bowl Push
October 20, 2021 by
Such is the current run of form shown by Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson that even on his relative ‘off-days,’ he still manages to set new high standards.
Though he only managed to throw for 167 yards (a season-low), Jackson led the Ravens to a 34-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, which represented his 35th NFL win, and that’s the most victories a player has accomplished by the age of 25.
Jackson was his usual down-to-earth self when informed of this feat, remarking;
“That’s pretty cool, I guess,” Jackson said. “I don’t know what to say after that. It’s cool. Gotta keep going.”
The win over their divisional rivals leaves the Ravens at 5-1 and a decent-looking bet to go long into the postseason. At sidelines.io, you can currently find odds of (+1000) on the Ravens to win the Super Bowl, and those odds have come in a great deal due to the great form shown by John Harbaugh’s side.
The season didn’t start so brightly, the Ravens losing in overtime to the Las Vegas Raiders before racking up wins over the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and the Los Angeles Chargers.
It’s now nine years since the Ravens came up short, just in their Super Bowl defeat to the San Francisco 49ers, and since then, they’ve had their ups and downs. For three years on the spin, they’ve come up short in the postseason and will want to get back to winning ways when it counts most.
There is a concern with some that Ravens have developed into something of a one-man team, though perhaps that’s a cross that’s worth bearing. There has been a groundswell of opinion among pundits, who have repeatedly stated that this might be the year that the NFL works out how to nullify Jackson, this season, it hasn’t proven the case.
Jackson is now into his fourth season at the M&T Bank Stadium, and his regular-season record of 35-8 is mighty impressive. In the postseason, that record drops to 1-3, and that’s an issue that must be reversed if the 2019 NFL MVP is to capture the trophy he really wants.
That win over the Chargers, when Jackson had a bad day, is perhaps a sign that the Ravens know how to win ‘ugly’. Early season favorites the Kansas City Chiefs have started poorly and now the talk is of the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers being the teams most likely to push for Super Bowl glory, but no one should rule out this Ravens side.
Jackson is very much the key man as Harbaugh pushes for the Super Bowl crown and though he has his doubters, not many can deny his abilities.
Lest we forget that Jackon recently became the fastest player in NFL history to rack up 5000 passing yards AND 2500 rushing yards, doing so in the space of three seasons. The numbers don’t lie, Lamar Jackson IS that good, and greatness is surely on the cards.
Professor MJ is 15-3-1 ATS this year!

Mostbet India
October 13, 2021 by
Mostbet is not the only betting platform to offer its services in India. Apart from Mostbet India:
-
Betwinner.
-
1xbet.
-
MelBet.
However, unlike its competitors, Mostbet tries to differentiate itself with its own features and unique offers. Therefore, they have an original website with its own design and unique structure.
The administration has also included a mobile app in their range. It can be downloaded for two types of smartphones. This already distinguishes it from its competitors by its comfort and variability.
Features of the bookmaker that competitors do not have
Indian bettors are quite demanding when it comes to gambling services. Leaving aside online casino projects, betting shops often resemble each other. This trait is the first thing the Mostbet administration started to fight against.
Mostbet Bookmaker differs from its competitors in the following features:
-
1-click registration is available;
-
12 bonus offers are available;
-
There are no blockages by the authorities;
-
60-minute verification.
1-click registration is the way to create an account without any hassle. The bettor just needs to specify the country, in our case India, and select the appropriate currency. Then the administration will send a temporary login and password. You can always change them in your personal cabinet. To do that, choose editing your personal profile.
Mostbet login becomes available after registration. In the personal cabinet a bettor can pass the verification and replenish the game balance. No identification is needed to replenish the account. It is only needed to receive payouts.
The bonus program works after registration. New users get more gifts and rewards. A loyalty system, a referral program and a cashback service are available for guests. You can also use betting insurance and betting cancellation.
Unlike bookmakers operating in India, Mostbet openly claims to play responsibly. There is no call for betting under every social media post. On the contrary, the administration tries to preempt unwarranted spending of money on bets. This shows the decency and loyalty of the company.
Differences in the structure of the official website and mobile app from other offices
There are also some differences in the mobile app segment. First and foremost is the access on Android and iOS platforms. Not all the betting companies are able to provide a workable application for both versions of smartphones.
To download the app, just go to the official website. For Android gadget users, you need to download Mostbet apk file. Fans of apple smartphones can access the iOS app.
Both versions do not differ from each other in terms of functionality. There are some difficulties in each version when downloading. For example, for Android gadget users, they will have to give permission to download the program from a third-party source. For iOS, the app can only be downloaded in the following countries:
-
Turkey;
-
Azerbaijan;
-
Uzbekistan;
-
India;
-
Cyprus;
-
Kazakhstan.
The structure is fully in line with the official website. The web portal differs from competitors by its simplicity and adaptability. There is an automatic mobile version available which is activated by logging in through a mobile browser.
Mostbet download is available via a direct link. It can be found in the special section. You can find it by clicking on the icons next to the bookmaker’s logo. Simplicity and order are the main features that distinguish the official site from the competition. Everything here is simple and straightforward. Newbies are eager to get into the betting procedure and stay for a long time.

Understanding DFS Point Scoring
September 23, 2021 by
Introduction
Daily fantasy sports are much more action-packed than traditional fantasy sports. It happens across a much shorter timeframe too, but this can confuse how DFS games are scored. The Internet has created massive communities oriented around every sport and the fantasy playoffs in them.
We’re focusing on fantasy football scoring here, the most popular form of fantasy sports that is played in America. You can see NFL daily fantasy sports in action online. Here we have information on how those fantasy games are commonly scored, along with pertinent definitions that beginners will want to know.
DFS Point Scoring
Here’s a rundown of how different events in a game are scored under generalized DFS rules. Remember that the specific rules may change depending on who you’re using to manage your fantasy sports games.
| Rushing yards made = 0.1 points | 0 points allowed = 10 points |
| Rushing touchdowns = 6 points | 1-6 points allowed = 7 points |
| Passing yards made = 0.04 points | 7-13 points allowed = 4 points |
| Passing touchdowns = 4 points | 14-20 points allowed = 1 point |
| Receiving yards = 0.1 points | 21-27 points allowed = 0 points |
| Receiving touchdowns = 6 points | 28-34 points allowed = -1 point |
| Return touchdowns = 6 points | 35+ points allowed = -4 points |
| Safeties = 2 points | Field goals from 0-39 yards = 3 points |
| Sacks = 1 point | Field goals from 40-49 yards = 4 points |
| Interceptions = -1 point | Field goals from 50+ yards = 5 points |
| Interceptions made = 2 points | |
| Receptions = 0.5 points | |
| Blocked punt/kick = 2 points | |
| Fumbles lost = -2 points | |
| Fumbles recovered after touchdowns = 6 points | |
| Opponent fumbles recovered = 2 points | |
| Kickoff return touchdowns = 6 points | |
| Punt return touchdowns = 6 points | |
| Two-point conversion passes = 2 points | |
| Two-point conversions scored = 2 points | |
| Extra-point conversions = 1 point | |
| Extra point return = 2 points |
Important Definitions
To properly understand daily fantasy sports, you should know some important definitions that enable you to figure out what’s going on. Here are several:
$/Point: The salary of players, divided by how many fantasy points they score.
50/50: Where half the field is paid evenly, usually double the entrance fee.
Algorithm/Model/Projection: Terms for the equations used to calculate players’ statistical performances in a game.
Balance: A lineup that’s filled with mid-price range players.
Bankroll: The money you use when betting or playing fantasy sports.
Ceiling: The max points expected from a player based on past performances.
Chalk: A player/team/game expected to be popular with the crowd.
Dart Throw: A longshot play that relies on a player reaching a higher target score.
Double-Up: Contests where your entry fee is doubled if you’re in the top 50%.
Fish: A new (and inexperienced) DFS player.
Field Size: The number of people in a contest.
Floor: Opposite of ceiling, the lowest points expected from a player based on past performances.
Guaranteed Prize Pool: Tournaments with a guaranteed minimum prize pool.
High Stakes: Contests with a higher entry fee, typically $50.
Head-To-Head: A contest between two DFS players, one on one.
Late Swap: When you can switch players in and out after the first game has begun.
Lean: A preference towards one position over others, e.g., you lean X player over Y player.
Min Salary: The minimum amount a player costs on the site.
Mass Multi-Entry: A.K.An MME, where DFS players enter lineups into a contest until they hit the maximum limit.
Multi-Entry: Where one enters more than one lineup into a contest.
Overlay: When a tournament pays out more money than they receive.
Pay Up: To choose high-price players instead of mid or lower ones.
Player Prop Bet: Oddsmaker lines that focus on one player and their performance.
Punt: Lower-priced players that could be successful but are also disposable.
Quintuple Up: Where the contest payout is five times the entry fee.
Reach: A chosen player/play expected to make an unexpectedly good performance.
ROI: Return On Investment, how much money you make on your initial investment.
Sharks: Experienced DFS players who know what they’re doing.
Single-Entry: Contests with one entry limit.
Sleeper: Players being overlooked who could make a good play.
Stacking: Choosing multiple players from the same teams/games.
Tilt: Disappointment/frustration felt by bettors and DFS players whose positions don’t pay off.
Tournament: Competition between many players. In DFS, tournaments don’t usually have tiers like they traditionally do.
Train: When a DFS player enters the same lineup multiple times into multi-entry games.
Triple-Up: Tournaments that payout three times the entry fee to each winner, similar to double-ups and quintuple-ups.
Upside: The expectation that a player will exceed the projections given by oddsmakers/DFS hosts.
Value: Players that should be priced higher than they are due to certain opportunities.
Viable: When a player has a reasonable expectation of reaching their target score.
8:20 p.m. ET: Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans 9-23-21 Smackdown!
September 23, 2021 by
The Panthers (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) have been impressive through two games, taking care of the Jets 19-14 as 3.5-point home favorites in the opener and then upsetting the Saints 26-7 last week as 3-point home dogs. Meanwhile, the Texans (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS) have also covered both of their games thus far, upsetting the Jags 37-21 as 3.5-point home dogs and then losing to the Browns 31-21 last week but covering as 13.5-point road dogs. This line opened with Carolina listed as a 7-point road favorite. A combination of early sharp money and steady public support has pushed Carolina up from -7 to -8. Before Tyrod Taylor got hurt, the early line was Carolina -3.5. With rookie Davis Mills starting, the opener was adjusted to -7.
If you missed the early number on the Panthers, the Texans could be worth a look as a buy-low value play. The public is all over Carolina, which gives Houston contrarian value in a heavily bet primetime game, plus an inflated line at 8. Dogs are 21-11 ATS (66 percent) this season. Primetime dogs are 4-2 ATS this season and 32-21 (60 percent) since 2020. Alex Kemp, the lead official, has historically favored home teams (27-20, 58 percent ATS).
If you like the Panthers, consider them in a teaser. You could tease Carolina down from -8 to -2, which goes through a pair of key numbers in 7 and 3. Going through multiple key numbers is the wiseguy approach to teasers.
The total opened at 44 and despite the public taking the over, the line has fallen to 43. This reverse line movement signals some smart under money. One interesting trend we’ve seen this season: primetime overs are a perfect 6-0.
