BetOnline Sportsbook Review

BetOnline is where I go when I want to get serious about the number. Early lines, high limits and a massive betting board give me more chances to find an edge before the market catches up. Football is especially strong, but there’s no shortage of props, futures, live wagering and action across the major sports. I’ve learned over the years that half a point here and ten cents there can make a hell of a difference. BetOnline gives me another place to find them. — Razor Ray

4* Free Week 18 NFL Betting Prediction: Vikings ATS

Even though the Vikings are wrapping up the regular season with a strong overall record, they can’t be happy with how they are playing heading into the playoffs. Although they are already a lock for the post-season, they would benefit from getting back on track after an awful showing vs Green Bay. Even though the Vikings figure to give their starters plenty of rest, I expect them to pick up the win and cover the spread vs a Bears squad that has a chance to finish with the worst record and hold the NFL draft’s number one pick.
