| CFB | (247) USC at (248) TCU: Total | 9:00pm EST - Dec 30/2025 |
The PLAY: Total Under 55.5 (-110)
This total is generously high. TCU's offense will be without its star QB and one of its best receivers. Facing a USC team which allowed just 10 points in its final game, scoring is going to be tough. The Horned Frogs' defense will need to step up. Both teams have allowed 23 or fewer points in four of their last five games. Two of the last three Alamo Bowls have finished with 50 or fewer points. This one should stay below the 55 mark.
Ben Burns is our reigning football champion. He was #1 with college AND #1 with pro football last season. Currently, he's 8-1 with his December CFB, the #1 record on the site, a perfect 5-0 when elevating to "big play status."

| NHL | (29) New York Islanders at (30) Columbus Blue Jackets: Moneyline | 5:07pm EST - Dec 28/2025 |
The PLAY: Columbus Blue Jackets -138
I'll take the well-rested Blue Jackets against an Islander team coming off a Saturday win over the rival Rangers. With their number one goalie out, the Isles got a gem from their back-up yesterday. However, now he's on the road and assuming he goes again today, he won't be accustomed to playing two games in two days.
The Jackets had been struggling but they did head into the break off a victory. As coach Dean Evason commented after yesterday's practice: "To go through the break and feel good about how we played and to get rewarded with two points, hopefully we'll carry that through here."
The Isles won this season's first meeting, at NY. However, the Jackets won both meetings at Columbus last season, winning those two games by a combined score of 8-1. Let's go Columbus
