Break The Book: Army Favored Over Navy, FSU Favored Over Florida

The Under is 15-2 in the last 17 meetings between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen.
The Florida State Seminoles have won six in a row against the Florida Gators in basketball.
Chelsea is favored at -135 odds to defeat Everton.

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Online sportsbooks are overflowing with odds on Saturday. There are hundreds of betting lines across dozens of sports, but certain matchups seemed to have been overlooked by the oddsmakers.

Starting in the realm of college football betting, the annual Army Black Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen game has been overlooked by the general public given the fact that there are so many other CFB games airing on Saturday, unlike previous years.

Then, heading to the hardwood, college basketball betting enthusiasts have an intriguing one-sided rivalry when the Florida State Seminoles take on the Florida Gators.

Heading overseas in the afternoon, Chelsea take on Everton in what may be a lopsided affair. However, Everton may be able to do enough to keep this match close.

Army Black Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen Odds

Moneyline: Army (-280) Navy (+230)
Spread: Army (-7)
O/U: 37.5

The Army Black Knights are coming into this game having had a solid 2020 season thus far. Army currently sits at 7-2 for the year while, the Navy Midshipmen are hanging onto an abysmal 3-6 record.

The game will be played in West Point, and even though CFB fans aren’t expecting an exciting matchup, they are expecting a few betting odds to hit.

Two trends speak volumes to this rivalry and could give bettors an edge. The Under is 15-2 in the last 17 meetings that these teams have had. More specifically, the Under is 9-0 in the last 9 times this game has been played at Army’s home stadium.

The Over/Under is already set at a very low threshold, but given the history of this matchup, don’t be surprised if the Under manages to hit again.

Florida State Seminoles vs. Florida Gators Odds

Moneyline: FSU (-145) Florida (+125)
Spread: FSU (-3)
O/U: 140

While college football fans won’t have the chance to bet on their rivalry in football, they will have the chance to bet on these teams in basketball this year.

The Noles find themselves as favorites in this matchup and for two key reasons. The first being that Florida State has won this matchup six years in a row. The second reason is that the game will be played at the Noles home court.

The Noles home record speaks for itself. However, the environment won’t be the same this time around given the fact that attendance will be limited with COVID-19 protocols in place.

Even so, the Noles are coming off of another home win against the Indiana Hoosiers and look to continue their streak against the Gators. The moneyline here might be the safest bet and could easily be used to juice up any parlay bet.

Everton vs. Chelsea Odds

Moneyline: Chelsea (-135) Everton (+340) Draw (+315)
Spread: Chelsea (-0.5)
O/U: 3

Chelsea and Everton are coming into this matchup seemingly headed in opposite directions. Chelsea comes in with a record of 3-2-0 (W-D-L) in their last five games. Everton on the other hand are coming in with a record of 1-1-3.

While many might overlook the moneyline odds due to the probability of Chelsea winning, it doesn’t mean there aren’t better odds for both the spread and total.

The Over at +105 odds has the best chance of hitting based on the stats these futball clubs have posted this season. On average, Chelsea have scored 2.27 goals per game and have conceded 1 goal. On Everton’s side, they have averaged to score 1.82 goals and conceded 1.64 goals per game.

A more convincing stat might be that 73% of Everton’s matches finish with both teams hitting their scoring average. In Everton’s games this season, the total has averaged 3.45 goals.

Those betting on soccer this weekend won’t want a chance to miss out on a high scoring and potentially profitable matchup.
