The influence of celebrities in sports is undeniable, as it has emerged as one of the powerful factors that drives NFL betting over the years. Games that feature popular stars don't just bring views to the game, they also impact NFL betting volume. According to insights from northcarolinabettinghub.com, wagering volume often surges when stars are live in the stadium or spotlighted during broadcasts. These effects go beyond fandom: bettors use star appearances as signals.

MIAMI GARDENS - It's Year 2 for Sun Sentinel Dolphins columnist Chris Perkins and Dolphins writer David Furones picking prop bets, which they'll do for all 17 regular-season games, and this season promises to be more successful than last year. Prior to each game, Furones and Perkins will select a "Best Bet" and a "Longshot." The "Best Bet" selection is a near 50-50 proposition while the "Longshot" is at least +300 or a 3-to-1 probability.

Evans entered the league in 2014 as the No. 7 pick, and he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in his rookie season. Then he did it in 2015, again in 2016 and, you know what, Evans has yet to stop sliding past the 1,000-yard receiving mark in a season. Now entering his 12th NFL season, Evans looks to break a tie with Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, who also achieved a streak of 11 consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.

My hope is the Bengals find a way to keep Trey Hendrickson on this roster. He's a game changer. Coordinator Al Golden must create a new identity on the defensive side of the ball, too. Limit the explosive plays and win in the red zone. But I'm still making this bet because of Joe Burrow and a pass-heavy Bengals offense that ranked top 10 in scoring last season.
