Happy Wednesday, IFL Fans!
Welcome to Volume XII of my "Wager Wednesday" bit, in which I examine the current landscape of the upcoming week's games, based on lines and odds from DraftKings Sportsbook. As an advocate of accountability, I will recap my results - whether genius or moronic - from the prior week as well. With that, let's see how my picks from last week turned out:
• QC @ GB – GB +4 (Another positive result to open the week on a solid note, thanks to Green Bay’s clutch showing in their home finale. The first three quarters decisively belonged to the Blizzard, who held as high as a 26-point lead in the fourth quarter. Quad City made a valiant comeback attempt, but by that time, the hole was dug too deep to recover from. They got it to within seven by the end, with the Blizzard winning – and effectively covering – 45-38.) $10.00 paid $19.09
• VGS @ MASS – OVER 102.5 (After all the discussion about the different play of the Pirates defense in the 2023 season, we got more of a vintage 2021/2022 Pirates outing on Saturday night. Without Da’Quan Neal, Vegas had trouble coming up with many explosive plays, and Massachusetts capitalized on his absence big-time. The Pirates went wire-to-wire in a 49-28 win to take them to their bye week. The 77 combined points fell nearly four touchdowns short of what over bettors needed.)
• FRI @ SXF – OVER 100.5 (I was really sweating this bet when it got to the one-minute warning. The wager’s fate was decided on Sioux Falls’ final drive of the game, which was a game-tying touchdown for the Storm to clinch the bet and make the game 51-51. Frisco would take the remaining time in regulation and drive deep into Storm territory. Bryce Crawford nailed the game-winning 19-yard field goal to give Frisco a hard-fought 54-51 victory. This stood as my only win of Saturday night.) $10.00 paid $19.09
• IOWA @ TUL – TUL -9.5 (I mean, this was a battle between two 1-9 teams, so it shouldn’t come as a complete shock that it unfolded in this fashion. Iowa put together a solid outing in scoring 48 points, a welcome change of pace for them after scoring just 43 in two combined games prior to this one. Tulsa, once again, lacked the clutch factor late, and their search for their first home win continues. The Barnstormers claimed the 48-40 win over the Oilers in Tulsa.)
• DUKE @ TUC – UNDER 89.5 (Ouch. Simply… ouch. The score was 41-40 Duke City with just a couple minutes left in the fourth quarter. The only path to this game hitting the over seemed to be either overtime or an exact sequence of Duke City deuce, Tucson touchdown, and then ensuing extra point. Well, guess what? We got the latter outcome. In a game that was determined literally by inches, Tucson held on for a key 47-43 victory. The unfortunate sequence of events leading to the 90-point total left me with my hands clutching my head in abject defeat. Losing by the hook here hurts the soul.)
• NAZ @ SD – NAZ -115 (The Wranglers entered this game needing a win in the worst way. Neither team led by more than 10 points at any time in a grueling and slow-paced game, but it was the Wranglers coming up with two interceptions of Nate Davis that proved to be the difference. San Diego was actually one defensive stop away from earning a chance at the win, but the Wranglers converted, ran out the clock, and prevailed 38-36. Curiously, a play that was overturned to award a rouge made all the difference for NAZ spread bettors, who won as a result of that ruling rather than pushed.) $10.00 paid $18.70
• BAY @ ARI – BAY +130 (How about that for a heavyweight bout? The very embodiment of both teams going the full 15 rounds – or in this case, four quarters – in what is tracking to be a preview of the Western Conference Final. Both teams traded punch for punch until the very end. Down by a score, Bay Area needed a 4th-down conversion with just seconds left to keep their hopes alive, and a Dalton Sneed pass went just off the fingertips of J.T. Stokes and incomplete. Arizona's defense had a rough day but came up with the most important play of the outing to clinch the 70-63 victory for the Rattlers.)
So Week 13 ends up as my first losing week in two months (Week 5 was the last net negative result). A week with three wins and four losses in total, with one of those losses by the half-point hook (DUKE/TUC Under 89.5) and another that just slipped away (BAY Moneyline) serving as particularly tough bad beats to swallow. And although we did hit a moneyline bet with the Wranglers win, this one required us to swallow 15% juice rather than enjoying our usual plus-odds hauls that we have managed in the past. A set of $10 bets on each of these would have returned $56.88, translating into a net loss of $13.12 for Week 13. Overall this season, I am 36-of-68 (36-32) with a total result of roughly $53.06 of net gain. Anyone who has followed/tailed my betting in these past eight weeks has seen convincingly positive returns, with a record of 30-22 and a net gain of $81.79 since Week 6!
DING – DING – DING !!! Our single-game betting left a bit to be desired this past week, but the same can’t be said for the Recommended Three-Leg Parlay of Week 13! The successful treble, made up of Blizzard Moneyline (+135), Fighters/Storm Over 100.5 (-110), and Wranglers -1 Spread (-110), combined to create a winning bet slip featuring a +756 payout! A $10 gamble here would have been worth $85.64 in return (includes original stake). This victory takes some of the foul taste away from the single-game betting struggles, but as usual will not be counted towards season-long results. This is our second successful Three-Leg parlay in the past three weeks!
YTD Breakdown of wagers by type:
Over/Under: 10-for-23
Spreads: 15-for-27
Moneyline: 11-for-18
Week 14 will offer us six games for our betting canvas this time around. Green Bay and Massachusetts get their final bye of the season. Five Saturday games and a standalone Sunday contest await us. Can I get back on track and earn myself a winning week? Read on to find out!
*Odds and lines shown are at time of posting. They will be updated prior to kickoff if they change; however, any net gain/loss calculations will use the original values.
Saturday 6/17: QC (-11.5) @ IOWA | O/U 94.5 | No Moneyline Bets available as of initial posting
The pick: QC -11.5 Spread
This is the first of two consecutive meetings between these Eastern Conference foes, with the reverse fixture for next week scheduled in Moline on June 24th. The teams previously met in Week 8 at Des Moines, with the Steamwheelers blowing the Barnstormers out 60-34. I do have a hint of concern about the injuries on the Quad City side. Already down Jarrod Harrington for the season, and having lost Shane Simpson to a scary-looking lower body injury last week, the onus has quickly shifted to E.J. Hilliard, Keyvan Rudd, and Jerron McGaw to elevate their games even higher. Despite the mounting injury list, Iowa does serve as the perfect matchup for this Quad City offense to maximize its output. And then there’s the question of the Jekyll & Hyde Iowa offense and its seemingly zero floor; which version we get on a weekly basis seems to be anybody’s guess at this point. In the end, I see Quad City understanding the importance of this game in their bid to re-capture a top-two position in the East and putting in a performance that reflects that urgency. Don’t be fooled by Iowa’s sudden mirage, lay the points and trust the Quad City cover. I especially like this pick with the activation of linebacker Nate Sheets from Long-Term IR. His presence should have an immediate positive impact on the Steamwheeler defense, which is terrible news for Iowa.
Saturday 6/17: SXF (-10.5) @ TUL | O/U 92.5 | No Moneyline Bets as of initial posting
The pick: TUL +10.5 Spread
It has been an inaugural season full of near-misses for the Tulsa Oilers, particular at home where aside from a 26-point blowout loss to Quad City in Week 5, they’ve kept games at BOK Center to within one possession each time. Most of those games have seen Tulsa go toe-to-toe against high-quality opponents (seven points to ARI, two points to FRI, six points to MASS), so they’re knocking right at the door. They blew a prime opportunity last week, losing to Iowa 48-40, but have three more cracks at rewarding their fans with that long-awaited victory at “Weed Arena”. Does it happen this week against a Sioux Falls team in the thick of a do-or-die playoff push, with tons of beef jerky on the line as well? It could happen, though Sioux Falls is coming off a strong outing against Frisco last week that came just short. All season long, I’ve stayed consistent with living and dying by the trends, so give me the home cover, taking the Tulsa points this time around.
Saturday 6/17: FRI (-7) @ NAZ | O/U 93.5 | Moneyline: FRI -245, NAZ +205
The pick: NAZ +7 Spread
Oh, look, Alec is backing the Wranglers again, what a shocker. I do see significant home-team value in this classic “Unstoppable Force vs. Immovable Object” battle, set to showcase the league’s best offense (Frisco at 56.5 pts/gm) against the league’s stingiest defense (NAZ at 39.0 pts/gm). Frisco, despite sitting atop the table at a 9-2 record, has had a deceptively tough time in road games this season. Aside from their season-opening 76-30 demolition of the Blizzard in Green Bay, they haven’t won a road game by more than five points all season, and that list includes losses to Bay Area (62-55) and Massachusetts (72-58). Sure, the Wranglers might not be ranked as highly as those other teams, nor do they boast that level of explosive offensive firepower, but they’re still a contender nevertheless. The metrics indicate that NAZ is arguably the most well-equipped team to handle Frisco’s ballistic offense. It’s insanely tempting to roll the dice on that lovely +205 moneyline, but I’ll save my upset special for another game this week. It’s too hard to bet against Frisco straight up, so I’ll take the points on the defending champs at Prescott Valley.
Saturday 6/17: SD @ TUC (-6.5) | O/U 89.5 | Moneyline: SD +190, TUC -225
The pick: SD +190 Moneyline
San Diego and Tucson will tussle in the “Bone Yard” for the third and final installment of the season series, with the road team having won both prior outings. Both these teams have kept their respective fanbases on the edge of their seats recently; Tucson’s last two games have been wins by one and four points, where San Diego’s last two games have been a one-point win and a two-point loss. Unless one of the teams either rises way above or falls completely flat, it’s hard to see this game gravitating out of reach for either team. San Diego is suddenly running thin on time and opportunities to claw their way back into the playoff conversation, which should drive them to set the tone as the more desperate team. Anybody will tell you that I like my trifectas, so let’s speak a third road win of the series into existence! Strike Force Strikes!
Saturday 6/17: BAY (-7.5) @ VGS | O/U 94.5 | Moneyline: BAY -260, VGS +220
The pick: BAY -7.5 Spread
The last meeting between these two teams in Week 8 saw 106 combined points at SAP Center. That, however, was with a healthy Da’Quan Neal suited up for Vegas. He didn’t play last week in the loss to the Pirates, and Joey Mancuso endured an absolute mauling in that game that forced him out as well. As was the case last week, we’ll need to monitor the transaction wire closely this week to move forward with confidence about any of these offered selections. On the other side of the coin, Bay Area has logged 60+ points in four of their last six games, and the Knight Hawk defense offers little in terms of resistance to that merciless attack. At this stage, regardless of who’s in or out, I’m most confident in the Panthers’ ability to cover this spread, with a likely bounce-back effort by their defense that let up 70 points to Arizona last week. I’d play this to -10.5 to be honest.
Please Note: The IFL Twitter page and YouTube channel both show this game now having a 4:05 PM ET (1:05 PM PT) kickoff time, changing from its originally scheduled time of 10:05 PM ET (7:05 PM PT).
Sunday 6/18: ARI (-11.5) @ DUKE | O/U 104.5 | No Moneyline Bets as of initial posting
The pick: UNDER 104.5
Drew Powell is back in a big way, and Arizona’s resulting four-game winning streak has them looking like the title favorites they entered the season as. It has become wishful thinking to wager against them, as I have learned the hard way in recent weeks. Better late than never to adjust that line of thinking, with the Rattlers facing off against Duke City, whom Arizona has been very successful against in the past few years. This is totally a contrarian play going with the Under considering both teams’ ceilings. The Rattlers, though, have repeatedly had Duke City’s number, holding the Gladiators to under 40 points in each of the last five meetings, including postseason (28, 21, 38, 14, 37). And it’s safe to say that Kevin Guy will be absolutely hellbent on his defense putting together a much cleaner outing after last week’s 70-63 shootout with Bay Area. Assuming the Rattlers defense can continue its string of success in games against Duke City, this bet will have a solid shot to prevail.
Recommended 3-leg parlay:
“Saturday’s 1st Pick” : Frisco vs. Northern Arizona – Wranglers Moneyline (+205)
“Saturday’s 2nd Pick” : San Diego vs. Tucson – Strike Force +6.5 Spread (-110)
“Sunday’s Pick” : Arizona vs. Duke City – Arizona -11.5 Spread (-110)
Parlay Odds +1011 ($10.00 would win $101.16)
IFL Championship Winner Odds:
Green = Odds Increased from last week
Red = Odds Decreased from last week
Frisco Fighters +300
Arizona Rattlers +400
Massachusetts Pirates +475
Bay Area Panthers +550
Quad City Steamwheelers +650
Northern Arizona Wranglers +900
Sioux Falls Storm +1000
Tucson Sugar Skulls +1100
Green Bay Blizzard +2200
Vegas Knight Hawks +2500
San Diego Strike Force +3000
Duke City Gladiators +4500
Iowa Barnstormers +9000
Tulsa Oilers +10000 (*Tulsa should technically be off the table after being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention last week)
Good luck to all you bettors out there! Let’s print out the big bucks!!
