See a niche, fill a niche.
This has always been one of the guiding principles of The Doghouse and today we’ve decided to fill that empty niche. We’ve watched for too long as the huddled masses have clamored for information, pleaded for assistance, and fallen into belligerent, impotent rages at the thought of doing their own research. To serve our respected readers, we will now take up the mantle that so many have held before us: betting advisor.
Welcome to the premiere issue of The Woof Line.
Tyler Higbee II - TE -
Everyone, everywhere, always believes in Tyler “Yap God” Higbee II, so it brings us no joy to say that his TD streak stops here. A solid passing defense in BBB should be able to stifle the Pythons pass game and force them to turn to the run, where they’re more comfortable anyway. With Higbee averaging only 3 catches per game this season, it’s hard to put money on the idea that one of those will be a touchdown, even if he’s also averaging 19 yards per catch. While the line sits at 1.0, we recommend the under.
Scudl McDiddl/Puddles O'Duck - QB - /
This is a tough toss-up. On paper, O’Duck is barely the better passer, 67% completion percentage to McDiddl’s 62%, and a 111.7 rating to McDiddl’s 103.6. TIJ also has the better passing defense by just a little, which would tip the needle only slightly in O’Duck’s favor again. Perhaps the best metric would be their previous matchup? Also no. Last time these two teams met was a 40-34 shootout of a game where both QBs threw three TDs each. We’re calling this one a true 50/50, but give the nod to O’Duck on a slight statistical technicality. Betters beware.
Cameron Oswald-Newton - K/P -
Oswald-Newton has gotten plenty of action this season as his team sits near the top of the league in most metrics. Their potent offense and defense have allowed the Grey Ducks to possess the ball for much longer than their opponents on average, meaning more drives and therefore more punts. In MINN’s last seven games, including six dominant wins, Oswald-Newton has kicked fewer than four punts only once. Even in a lopsided win like their 38-6 matchup versus POR, he managed seven. This should be a comfortable over.
Dazen Guile - RB -
Longest rush, similarly to touchdowns, is a stat that is extremely hard to predict. Guile’s current season long is a 40 yard rush against TIJ last week, so he’s certainly capable, but he’s also only had a rush of at least 25 yards on three occasions this season, two of which were 27 and 28 yarders. Game script should still favor Guile and give him plenty of opportunity, but we’re finding it hard to trust such a fluky stat. Bet on this one at your own risk, but we’ll take the under.
D'Glester Hardunkichud - LB -
Another tough one to really predict. DAL QB Jamarcus Quiller is getting sacked about twice per game on average this season, so the opportunity should definitely be there for Hardunkichud. That being said, Hardunkichud only has four sacks on the season and two of them came last week against POR. The less-than-stellar offenses of both teams should allow plenty of defensive opportunities in this case, so we’re taking the over based on pure volume.
Bondi Beach Buccaneers -
This is another that feels like an easy over at first glance, but the details paint a different picture. POR’s passing offense has been quite potent this year, in part due to QB Van Goff’s care for the football. Through nine games, Van Goff has only thrown TWO interceptions, tied for best in the league. On the other side, BBB’s pass defense is respectable, but they only have four interceptions as a team this season. We’re guessing that POR focuses on their stronger run game anyway, so hopefully interception opportunities are minimized, for Van Goff’s sake. We’re taking the under here.
Check back here tomorrow for recaps and future analysis. We will always strive to provide analysis for all sportsbooks, but the Woof Line reserves the right to skip any sportsbook due to outside events or limitations.
