Call of Duty League 2024 Stage 1 Major
Miami Heretics vs. Minnesota ROKKR
- When: Saturday, December 16, 2023
New Call of Duty League franchise Miami has a single match to their credit. Miami beat Carolina Royal Ravens 3-0 on December 9. The win doesn’t prove much.
But it did prove to oddsmakers and eSports handicappers, at least so far, that the Heretics are a better COD squad than Minnesota ROKKR. The +103 underdog has lost 5 straight. Miami starts off, going 2-0.
eSports Betting Pick: Miami Heretics -141
Las Vegas Legion vs. New York Subliners
- When: Saturday, December 16, 2023
The Legion has won just 2 matches in their last 5. The victories came against Seattle and Minnesota, a couple of the less stellar squads at The Call of Duty League.
NY Subliners has won 4-of-5 and are on a 3-match winning streak. The Subliners beat Toronto 5-0 in their final match in June. This month, NYS has bested OpTic Texas and L.A. Guerillas. New York pushes their December record to 3-0.
eSports Betting Pick: New York Subliners -312
Atlanta FaZe vs. Seattle Surge
- When: Saturday, December 16, 2023
Since a 1-3 loss to Toronto Ultra on June 16, Atlanta FaZe has rolled. The FaZe has beaten Boston twice, the L.A. Guerillas, and the Seattle Surge in 4 straight.
But as well as Atlanta has played, Seattle is on a 5-match winning streak. Lying the -250 on Atlanta is rough. Taking a stab on the dog makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Seattle Surge +179
Carolina Royal Ravens vs. OpTic Texas
- When: Sunday, December 17, 2023
In their first Call of Duty League match, Carolina RR lost to fellow first time squad Miami 3-0. Not to be deterred, the Royal Ravens bounced back with an excellent 3-2 win over Las Vegas Legion.
On Sunday, the Ravens must step it up big time. OpTic is a better team than Vegas, but the Ravens have proven they can hang with a more experienced squad. Taking the +1.5, especially at a decent payout, is the play.
eSports Betting Pick: Carolina Royal Ravens +1.5 +136
Los Angeles Guerillas vs. Los Angeles Thieves
- When: Sunday, December 17, 2023
The Guerillas were a disaster last season and, yes, they are a disaster this season. LAG has lost 5 straight. Still, they offer a nice premium versus their intercity rivals.
The Thieves have also dropped 5 straight. Because neither squad has much of an edge over the other, backing the L.A. Guerillas to beat the L.A. Thieves is the optimal play.
eSports Betting Pick: Los Angeles Guerillas +229
Boston Breach vs. Toronto Ultra
- When: Sunday, December 17, 2023
Boston is on a 0-3 losing streak. 2 of the Breach’s losses came against Atlanta FaZe, one of the best teams at the COD League.
However, Toronto Ultra has won 3-of-5 straight. The favorite in this won all 3 matches by 2 or more games. Ultra covers.
eSports Betting Pick: Toronto Ultra -1.5 -172
