| 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 (380)
As I post this, Kenneth Walker is -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.

| NHL | (31) Toronto Maple Leafs at (32) Edmonton Oilers: Moneyline | 8:37pm EST - Feb 3/2026 |
The PLAY: Edmonton Oilers -195
I attended the Maple Leafs/Canucks game on Saturday, in Vancouver. The Leafs dug themselves an early hole and had to fight hard to come back. Eventually, to the delight of the many Toronto fans in attendance, they won in a shootout. Last night, the Leafs followed up their victory in Vancouver with a win, at Calgary. Tonight, however, they'll be playing their second game in two days and third in the past four. They're also stepping up in class to take on a talented Edmonton team. Not only are the Oilers much stronger than either the Canucks or Flames, but they also have a rest advantage. Edmonton hasn't played since losing on Saturday. The Oilers won this season's first meeting 6-3. Schedule in their favor, they should complete the sweep of the season series.
Last seasons' reigning Football Champion Ben Burns finished #1 in the NFL again this season. Perfect in the playoffs, Ben enters the Super Bowl on a perfect 8-0 run. Since September, he's 42-18!
