A 1-1 record last night. The best-of-two format in CS:GO was not a friend to us, but the NFL Maddens sims came in for us.
I’ve been thinking about the NFL Draft a bit and Joe Burrow. Before the draft, I was very high on Tua Tagovailoa as the best quarterback in the draft and I stand by that, but I think in my enthusiasm I may have overlooked Burrow a bit. I really think that he’s going to be a quality player this season and he could lead to a real turnaround in Cincinnati.
I was doing a bit of reading about him and this quote from an NFC coordinator got me hyped:
“Burrow’s one of the best prospects that I’ve seen personally. Just his confidence, his knowledge, he’s unbelievable. [LSU] had a good system. They had dudes all over the field. It was a perfect storm. But so much of the game of the quarterback is played above the neck, and there’s no doubt he has that. And he played his best at the biggest games.”
With little sports going on in the world, I decided to take another look at the NFL Win Totals and I really saw something here with Burrow and the Bengals. I have that below as well as some CS:GO action for this afternoon.
NFL Win Totals Betting Tips:
This is, of course, assuming a normal schedule and not a shortened season.
Last season, the Bengals were 2-14 on the season which got them to the top pick in the draft. It was a tough season though as the team lost seven of those games by a touchdown or less. I think I can see them creeping up the standings with a solid season from Burrow.
The team is set up well to do it too. AJ Green should be back and the team drafted Tee Higgins so he’ll have some nice weapons to work with. The offensive line should be getting an upgrade as well as their 2019 1st rd pick Jonah Williams will be making his debut after missing all of last year with an injury.
An improved offense under Burrow with general improvements in health could see this team get to 6 or more wins next season and I think it’s worth a bet.
I also saw that there are odds on where Cam Newton will end up in 2020 and the Steelers +700 is getting a lot of buzz. I’m not one for betting on free agency because I would’ve been wrong about just about all the major moves this offseason, but if you are interested in that kind of thing – it’s out there for you.

CS:GO ESL One: Road to Rio Betting Tips:
The Road to Rio continues this afternoon and one of the matches that I am looking at is 100 Thieves taking on Triumph. The 100 Thieves squad is coming off a solid performance and they are a big -550 favorite here. This team is heating up at the right time and I like their odds here. That said, this pick is just as much of a fade against Triumph who I just don’t see anything special in right now.
