Jaguars-Ravens Kickoff NFL Week 9; CFP Rankings Shake up Odds
Welcome to the new and improved Betting with Bearman. I hope you enjoyed the new look and the new platform for the relaunch, which includes a website, so make sure to bookmark www.bearmanbets.com.
We almost swept the board on Monday night, hitting the Bears easily to move to 16-4 in Primetime picks, went 2-0 in our NBA plays, and missed our alt-line SGP by the hook on the under. We even hit a Cooper Kupp TD for +300, trying for the DraftKings $2M pot.
NFL's Week 9 begins on Thursday night with the AFC South-leading Jaguars in Baltimore to face a fading Ravens team. We also update our Futures portfolio and check out the rest of the sports landscape, which includes NBA games.

Jacksonville Jaguars (-9.5, 40.5) at Baltimore Ravens
- In the Monday lookahead email, I gave out Ravens team total u17.5, hitting on the fact they may be down to their third-string QB with Lamar Jackson out and Tyler Huntley going for an MRI. Well, that is what's happening, as Huntley is out for the season.
- However, the line has moved with the fact that Joe Fagnano is now making his first NFL start. The team total is down to 14.5, which I still think is betable with Baltimore scoring 13 or fewer in three straight games, and they weren't going up against the best defenses in the world either (Browns, Bengals, Bills).
- That said, it's a very low team total, the game line has gotten high, and the game total has dropped... so let's go to the prop market and a very familiar well that we have visited often.
