BetOnline Odds Boosts for Saturday, November 7

Saturday is another busy day on the sports calendar, as usual. We kick things off with a full slate of Premier League action before the college football schedule gets underway. We close things out with another UFC Fight Night headlined by Thiago Santos and Glover Teixeira.


Without further ado, let’s find the best value among BetOnline’s odds boosters for Saturday, November 7.

Premier League: Manchester United and Chelsea BOTH to Win (+315)

Manchester United’s uneven start to the season continued earlier this week with a shocking 2-1 loss in Champions League at the hands of Istanbul Basaksehir. Needless to say, that was an underwhelming result, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s seat isn’t getting any more comfortable.

United are also in the relegation zone early in the Premier League campaign, which won’t help his chances of keeping his job, either. The Red Devils will have a chance to make a statement with a win on Saturday over an Everton side that has gotten off to a hot start. While Carlo Ancelotti’s side has cooled of late, the Toffees would still be in next year’s Champions League if the season ended today.

United are slight +140 favorites on the road at Goodison Park, with Everton listed at +185. Everton have gone three straight games in the league without a win following a draw against Liverpool and back-to-back defeats to Southampton and Newcastle. Everton are unlikely to wind up challenging for the title, but this is still a tough game for United.

Chelsea, who sit seventh in the league, will host a Sheffield United side that has been struggling all year. Sheffield sit second-to-bottom in the table with just three total goals scored on the year. Chelsea haven’t been in consistently good form, but it’s a matter of time until a new-look Blues side finds its rhythm. In theory, they should have little trouble with Sheffield.

Chelsea are understandable -244 favorites. This odds booster will come down to whether United can get all three points at Everton.

NCAAF: Florida State and Georgia BOTH to Win (+240)

Florida State is a two-point favorite at home against Pitt on Saturday, with the Seminoles priced as slight -125 moneyline betting favorites. It’s been a dreadful start to the year for Florida State, who sit at just 2-4. Curiously enough, one of their wins came against a North Carolina team that was ranked as the fifth-best team in the country at the time. Last week, the Noles were thrashed at Louisville, 48-16.

Georgia has a #RivalryGame on Saturday against Florida. The 4-1 Bulldogs enter the game ranked No. 5 in the country, while the 3-1 Gators are eighth. Georgia’s lone blemish is a 41-24 loss at Alabama, while Florida’s only defeat was a three-point loss at the buzzer at Texas A&M.


The Dawgs (-153) are 3.5-point favorites here.

NCAAF: Notre Dame and Tennessee BOTH to Win (+450)

Notre Dame will host Clemson in what is shaping up to be the biggest game of the weekend. Trevor Lawrence remains sidelined for the Tigers due to his positive COVID test, but Clemson is still listed as a five-point favorite on the road.

The Tigers got a scare last week at home against Boston College, but oddsmakers are clearly confident in the ability of DJ Uiagalelei to get the job done in Lawrence’s place. Last week, the freshman completed 31 of his 40 throws for 342 yards with a pair of touchdowns and no interceptions in his first career start.

Both teams enter this game undefeated, so we should have a fun one here.

Tennessee, meanwhile, will head to Arkansas as two-point road favorites. The Vols are off to a middling 2-3 start that includes three straight losses entering the game against Georgia, Kentucky, and Alabama. The Razorbacks are also 2-3 with all three of their losses coming against ranked foes (Georgia, Auburn, Texas A&M).

UFC: Santos, Boser, and Barcelos ALL to Win (+180)

Thiago Santos enters his bout at UFC on ESPN+ 40 against Glover Teixeira as a sizable -235 moneyline favorite. Santos is 21-7 in UFC all-time, and this will be his first fight since losing to Jon Jones by decision back in July of last year. Teixeira is 31-7 all-time in UFC, with a four-match winning streak entering this fight. These two were originally slated to fight back in September, but the fight had to be pushed back a couple of months after Santos tested positive.

Tanner Boser is an even bigger favorite (-305) for his fight against Andrei Arlovski.

Boser is 19-6 in UFC with back-to-back wins over Philipe Lins and Raphael Pessoa. Arlovski has lost four of his last six fights with a 29-19 UFC record on his resume.

Raoni Barcelos (-365) is the biggest favorite of all in his fight vs. Khalid Taha. Barcelos owns an impressive 15-1 UFC record, and he enters this fight as the winner of his last eight appearances. Taha is 14-2, but his form has been a bit lackluster after an 11-0 start.

UFC: Boser to Win by TKO/KO or DQ (+190)

Each of Boser’s last two wins has come by either TKO or KO. 10 of his 19 overall wins have come by TKO/KO, while one of his six losses has come via the same method. Seven of his wins have come via decision, with the other two by submission.


11 of Arlovski’s 19 losses in UFC have come by TKO/KO, as well.

UFC: Santos to Win In Round 1 (+300)

Santos is heavily favored to beat Teixeira in the main event on Saturday night. BetOnline’s standard odds say that this fight has a -400 chance of not going the distance, which obviously means they think Santos gets the job done at some point before the end of the fifth round.

BetOnline’s usual odds give Santos a +250 chance to win in the first round, so the +300 odds you see above are a slight boost. Interestingly enough, those +250 odds to win in the first round represent his best odds to win in any round. He’s at +375 to win in the second, +900 to win in the third, +1400 to win in the fourth, and +2200 to end the fight in the decisive fifth round.

What’s The Best Bet?

The last two UFC bets look risky enough to fade. Boser winning his fight by TKO/KO is realistic, of course, but I think we just have better obvious value today. The same can be said of Santos winning his fight in the first round. The odds suggest it’s a distinct possibility, but this isn’t the best wager on the board.

Notre Dame and Tennessee both winning at +450 has plenty of upside, but you also wouldn’t be surprised if both of these teams wound up losing. Even without Lawrence, we know Clemson may still be the best team in the country. I’m not sold on the Irish, especially given their relatively weak schedule to this point. Tennessee is about as untrustworthy as it gets, so I’ll pass.

Santos, Boser, and Barcelos ALL to win at +180 is a good, safe bet. You don’t get a ton of upside here in the +180 odds, but it’s still significantly more profitable than betting on any of the three individually. If you want safety, this is the best bet.

For upside, I like Manchester United and Chelsea both to win at +315. The Red Devils have been a Jekyll/Hyde act all year, but Everton finally seem to be enduring their long-scheduled regression. Chelsea should have no trouble with the Blades, so I like the value in the two-way Premier League result if you have a little more risk tolerance.
