Oct 12th and Oct 13th Recap, Nov 11th NFL picks

 Hello and welcome back to Touchdowns and Takedowns! Today I'd like to look back at my predictions/recommendations for the weekend of October 12-13th, before offering a preview of this weekends game. In the NFL my two sleeper picks failed to come through, with the Packers and Ravens winning. The Commanders came close though, and their status as real contenders under Jayden Daniels has been further solidified in the weeks since that game. My parlay recommendation on the other hand came through, as I hit on all three games with the Steelers, Chargers, and Colts securing victories. I hope some of you took my advice on that one! Moving on to the UFC Fight Night Card, my pick of Tatsuro Taira failed to come to fruition, with Brandon Royval proving himself in a big way with the split decision victory. I still believe that Taira is a talented fighter who we definitely have not heard the last from. 

Moving onto this week in the NFL, I have once again identified two sleeper picks. First, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6.5 point underdogs against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have not been the powerhouse we have become accustomed to seeing, and look vulnerable as ever with the amount of injuries they have suffered already this season. Despite Christian McCaffery's return from injury this week, I think that Tampa Bay has a good chance to pull off the upset, especially if Baker Mayfield can establish a rapport with some of his lesser known receivers in the absence of Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. My second sleeper pick is the Denver Broncos, who are 7.5 point underdogs against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos have played the Chiefs close over the last couple seasons, and the Chiefs have looked extremely beatable at times this season despite their perfect record. If you are looking to spice up your betting this week, I would pick one of those teams to win, or at least cover the point spread. For a less risky parlay, I would take the Commanders, Lions, and Falcons. That's all for this week, but I will be back next week with picks for the slate of week 11 NFL games as well as for UFC 309: Jones vs Miocic. Good luck!

NFL and UFC Picks for Oct 12 & 13th 2024

 Hello and welcome to my new blog, Touchdowns and Takedowns! I am Julian Pellegrini, and I have followed and bet on both the UFC and NFL for some time now, and so I have decided to begin sharing my weekly betting tips with other fans. I hope you guys appreciate this content, and I encourage you to reach out via my email, julian.pellegrini@mohawkcollege.ca, with any questions you may have.  For this weekend, let's start with my NFL picks that I believe have a good chance of hitting and making you some money. We are entering week 6 in what has been a strange, and thus hard to predict, season of football so far. One sleeper pick I have for this weeks slate of games is taking the Washington Commanders over the Baltimore Ravens, against whom they are 6.5 point underdogs. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense have looked great so far this year, and their defense looked shutdown last week against the Browns. It's always hard to bet against Baltimore, but with the money line in th...

UFC 310 Prelim Picks

 Welcome back to part 2 of my picks for UFC 310! In this post I will be giving my picks for the prelims, which features a number of notable names. Starting with Anthony Smith vs Dominic Reyes, I would take Reyes in this one, as he has been hot lately and has a lot of experience even when compared to Smiths long career. Moving on, we have veteran Vicente Luque vs up & comer Themba Gorimbo.   Luque   likely has the advantage in the stand-up battle, and his aggressive style could overwhelm Gorimbo if the fight stays on the feet. If Gorimbo can avoid Luque’s power and manage to take the fight to the ground, he could make things difficult for Luque. However, if the fight remains striking-heavy, Luque’s power, volume, and experience at the top level should give him the edge. He is a +140 underdog, so there is some money to be made by even placing a decent sized bet on him. Next up is former champion Aljamian Sterling taking on Movsar Evloev. This is a fight that I would be ...
