| NFL | (365) Tennessee Titans at (366) Jacksonville Jaguars | 1:00pm EST - Jan 4/2026 |
The PLAY: Tennessee Titans +13.5 (-115)
The Jaguars have been on quite a roll. However, the Titans have quietly been very competitive themselves. Despite coming up short last week, they're 5-3 ATS their last eight games. They haven't failed to cover in b2b games since October. The Jaguars won big at Tennessee but that's the only Titan loss of more than 13 points for months. While the Jags do need a win, they're banged up on the offensive line and they've got bigger games in their future. The Titans are still fighting and should keep this one closer than many will be expecting.

| NHL | (45) Pittsburgh Penguins at (46) Detroit Red Wings: Moneyline | 12:07pm EST - Jan 3/2026 |
The PLAY: Detroit Red Wings -142
DETROIT. After losing a close one at Pittsburgh on New Year's Day, the Red Wings get a chance for some immediate revenge. Detroit's Alex DeBrincat had this to say: "We feel we should have won that game, but we can go win Saturday and earn back the points." The Wings have been tough in their own building, going 14-7-1. They took two of three from the Penguins last season, winning the most recent game at Detroit. Look for them to dig deep and salvage the home-and-home split.
