The NFL will make its long-awaited return on Thursday, September 8, when the defending champion Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills at SoFi Stadium. The Bills have the lowest Super Bowl odds of any team at +600, but the hard-hitting Rams aren’t far behind at +1,000.

The heavily-hyped Bills vs. Rams showdown is just one of dozens of must-see events from a jam-packed month. Sports fans can also look forward to UFC 279 from Las Vegas, the WNBA Finals, and Serena Williams’ bittersweet swan song at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows.

Managing Editor

Ryan Murphy began his love affair with sports journalism at the age of nine when he wrote his first article about his little league baseball team. He has since authored his own weekly column for Fox Sports and AskMen and has created successful campaigns for some of the biggest and most trusted brands in the world including Walt Disney, HBO, the WWE, the NHL, and the NFL.

“Murph,” as he’s known to friends, began his journey in sports betting in 2017, and enjoyed a highly rewarding tenure at Churchill Downs, where he oversaw the creation of the TwinSpires Edge and served as the publication’s first editor-in-chief. His nose for news and ability to find and nurture talent helped turn the site into a major player within the online gambling industry.

Although Ryan loves examining odds movement and breaking down matchups, he’s also a prolific creative writer whose critically acclaimed stories have been published in 21 books and have been featured on more than 170 radio stations and 40 newspapers. His latest book, My Life’s a Joke, is a laugh-out-loud memoir about the epic fails that thickened his skin and paved the way for a successful 15-year career as a touring stand-up comedian.

Ryan’s top piece of advice to sports bettors: “Bet with your head, not your heart. It pains me to be pragmatic, but blind loyalty has no place in sports wagering.”
