Patriots Just Got Even Better With Brandin Cooks Acquisition

The New England Patriots have traded three picks (3^rd, 32^nd and 103) to get Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks.

"I've been praying. I'm just thankful," Cooks told ESPN's Josina Anderson.

Cooks is under contract for 2017 at the bargain rate of $1.56 million, with the Patriots now holding a fifth-year option for about $8.5 million in 2018.

Cooks is coming off back-to-back 1,100-yard seasons. He also has notched a total of 17 touchdown catches over the past two years and two of the four longest receptions in the NFL last year (98 yards and 87 yards).

The Patriots were listed as early favorites to win Super Bowl 52 at 4/1 odds.

NFL

UCLA vs. Oregon Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Jordon Davison, Wayne Knight, Dierre Hill Jr.

Jordan Davison is Oregon's leading rusher this season, so his 67.5 total rushing yards betting market might prove to be a little more appealing for this game than his steep -240 touchdown scorer price.

Texas vs. Oklahoma Touchdown Scorer Prop Bets: Hollywood Smothers, Raleek Brown, Arch Manning

Hollywood Smothers pays out $125 for every $100 bet to score a touchdown in this game, Raleek Brown pays $165 and Arch Manning close to $200.

Real Madrid v Villarreal Betting Odds, Goalscorer Markets: Kylian Mbappe, Carlos Espi, Endrick

As would be expected, Kylian Mbappe comes in priced high at -260 to score an anytime goal. There is better value for Mbappe to score the first goal paying out $200 for every $100 bet.

Indiana vs. Nebraska Total Rushing Yards Prop Bets: Turbo Richard, Lee Beebe Jr, Jamal Rule

Turbo Richard rushing yards total for today's game comes in at over/under 88.5. Richard rushed for 204 yards on 13 carries against Rutgers last week.
