After six weeks of trying to beat the SI Sportsbook with my player prop predictions, I am 17-12 while being +2.85 units on a $100 baseline of each investment.
I went 1-4 last week and felt lucky to get a win after Jonathan Taylor tallied only two rushes in the first half. His 83-yard dash in the third quarter put me in the win column.
If I wager on the favorite, I lay the juice to win $100 (-115 betting line = $115 to win $100). On the underdog side, I wager $100 to win the extra profit ($100 to win $150 with +150 betting line).
