Hot NFL Betting Props- First Head Coach Fired

The 2017 NFL preseason is underway and all that means is that the clock is already ticking when it comes to one of the 32 NFL head coaches losing their jobs first. Bill Belichick is in pretty good shape in New England and I would hope that all the first-year coaches will get at least two seasons to prove they can get the job done, but that still leaves a pretty large group of men that should be taking some time to get their resumes in order.

Using some of the posted betting odds at BetAnySports for the prop of 'first head coach fired', I came up with my own list of coaches that offer the best value when it comes to cashing in on a timely bet. The following is a link to that article on SportsBook.net so please check it out when you get a chance.

Cardinals at Cubs MLB Weekend Series Free Pick

It's 'Game On' in the NL Central Division title race with four of the five teams within 4.5 games of one another in the current standings. While the Milwaukee Brewers are mired in a five-game losing streak heading into this weekend's series against Philadelphia on the road, the Chicago Cubs will look to extend their six-game winning streak when they play host to the rival St. Louis Cardinals for three games starting this Friday in a 2:20 p.m. start at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs are just a game in back of the Brewers at 49-45 overall and the Cardinals (46-49) are 4.5 games off the pace following a 2-2 split with the New York Mets this week. These two have already met nine times this season with Chicago holding the 6-3 edge following a three-game sweep against its bitter division rival at Wrigley in early June. The series price for this weekend's NL Central clash should favor the Cubs and BetAnySports has listed Chicago as a -145 favorite for Friday's Game 1 with Jake Arrieta on the mound. St. Louis is set as a +135 underdog and it will turn to Carlos Martinez as its starter for Game 1.

Diamondbacks at Braves MLB Weekend Series Free Pick

Baseball is back in business following this week's MLB All Star break and starting this Friday night at SunTrust Park is an interesting three-game matchup between a pair of second-place NL teams trying to make up some ground in their respective division title race.

Arizona fell to 7.5 games in back of the blazing Los Angeles Dodgers with a 3-7 slide in its previous 10 games before the break, but at 53-36 overall, the Diamondbacks remain in the thick of the NL playoff race. Atlanta is 9.5 games in back of Washington in the NL East with an overall record of 42-45 and while the Braves can still make things interesting over the next few months, their margin for error is pretty slim given the number of teams ahead of them in the wild card standings.

BetAnySports has set the series price at -110 for both teams in what should be a close, hard-fought battle over the next three days. As part of my weekly MLB betting previews for SportsBooks.net, I decided to take a closer look at this matchup for my free weekend series pick. Please check out the link below for my complete preview and pick.
