| NFL | (109) Seattle Seahawks at (110) New England Patriots: Kenneth Walker III First Touchdown Scorer | 10:00pm EST - Feb 8/2026 |
The PLAY: Kenneth Walker III First Touchdown Scorer Yes 0.0 (375)
When I initially posted this, Kenneth Walker was -190 on the "anytime touchdown scorer" option and +380 on the "first player to score a touchdown" prop. Of course, the former has the greater likelihood of cashing. However, the latter may offer the better value. If the Hawks score the first TD, Walker has a great shot of being the player that gets it. He did so against the Rams. If looking for a big underdog with a solid shot, this one fits the bill.
Last year's defending football champion Ben Burns has the #1 NFL record again this season ... he's a perfect 8-0 since Christmas. His 9th straight winner is ready to go!

| NBA | (543) Washington Wizards at (544) Brooklyn Nets: Spread | 3:10pm EST - Feb 7/2026 |
The PLAY: Brooklyn Nets -5.5 (-118)
The Nets have really struggled to win games. However, if they actually want a victory, this is the time and place to get it. The Wizards are only 5-19 on the road, at the best of times. Today, however, they're going to be quite short-handed. Newcomers Anthony Davis and Trae Young have fans excited for the future. However, neither will play. Same goes for several others, either out or questionable. By comparison, the Nets are far healthier. These teams split the first two meetings, both at Washington. Neither game was close. This one shouldn't be either. Lay the points, up to -7
All-Time Basketball Champ Ben Burns also ranks #1 in the UFC since the start of 2023. He's testing a 10-1 run in octagon today, before putting his 8-0 NFL record on the line tomorrow.
