Gaming Today Playbook: NFL Week 1 | AZ Sports Betting | No-Brainer Bets
Betting picks by sports bettors for sports bettors.
Are you ready for some football? For the first time in over 7 months, we have live regular season football. Football season and sports betting go together better than peanut butter and jelly.
With that, sports betting launched in Arizona sports betting. For our Arizona readers, we have everything you need to know about Arizona sports betting and I did research some NFL player props to bet on for week 1. After taping and preparing for the NFL season, I believe that these could be some of the best player prop bets out there.
The Gaming Today newsletter prides itself on being profitable for you. By looking at our newsletter, we are notifying you of the best existing user “no-brainer” bet promotions. Last week we had four no-brainer sports betting promotions available for all of us. Well, this week, we have FIVE more! More on that later.
Lastly, Gaming Today’s Chris Gerlacher put out an excellent interview with the CEO of Kalshi, a new website focused on hedge funds, market makers, and brokers. More on that below!
Arizona Sports Betting Primed To Be The Biggest Launch Of 2021
I don’t think this is that much of a hot take, assuming New York and Massachusetts do not launch in 2021. Arizona successfully launched at midnight on Thursday and are taking bets on both mobile and retail sportsbooks. Below is the full list of sportsbooks that have launched in Arizona.
Five of the biggest Arizona sportsbooks already live: sportsbooks currently operating in Arizona are below...
Looking for Arizona sports betting bonuses? We’ve got you covered:
Cowboys vs. Buccaneers Thursday Night Player Props
I did the research, got the best information from the top NFL reporters, and have scoured every single sportsbook across the industry. This has led to my Week 1 NFL player props best bets piece.
Under 1.5 Receptions Leonard Fournette +150 (DraftKings)
This line makes no sense to me. Fournette catching one pass would be surprising given the fact that Giovani Bernard is their new pass-catching running back. Furthermore, Ronald Jones is their RB1 in most packages. Fournette’s workload is likely to be small.
Antonio Brown Over 4.5 Catches -140 And To Score A Touchdown +190 (PointsBet)
Chris Godwin has a rumored quadriceps injury and Brown’s touchdown prop number has plummeted. Some books have it close to even money, amazing closing line value. This is a no-brainer bet if you are paying attention to this game.
