The popular sportsbook recently released betting lines for the game including spread, moneyline, total, as well as many different player props that are available to be bet.

Before going into what is available to be bet, I’d like to provide a quick explanation of betting lines for anybody who is unfamiliar.

All odds are either plus (+) or minus (-). Plus (+) odds are used to show how much money your bet will win if you win 100 dollars.  For example, if the bet has +145 odds a $100 bet will win $145 or a $10 will win $14.50.  Minus (-) odds are used to show how much money you need to wager in order to win $100.  For example, if the bet has -125 odds a $125 bet will win $100 or a $12.50 bet will win $10.

Here’s what you can get some action on for Saturday.
