All-Time basketball champion Ben Burns took it on the chin with Alabama yesterday, a rare loss with one of his highest rated releases. Needless to say, he's not happy about it. No excuses. Just back to work harder and more determined than ever on Thursday. He bounces back and starts a new winning streak with a game that he expects to be absolutely one-sided. Payback is imminent!

| 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!

| NHL | (67) Los Angeles Kings at (68) Vegas Golden Knights: Total | 10:07pm EST - Feb 5/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 5.5 (-130)
The Kings are off a 4-2 home loss against Seattle. They'll be playing their second game in two days. The Golden Knights also played Wednesday. They check in off a 5-2 win over the Canucks. Six of their last eight games have finished with at least seven combined goals. Those eight games averaged 7.1 goals. The last time that the Knights played the second of b2b games, they won 6-3. The last three times that the Kings visited Vegas, the scores were 6-5, 6-5 and 6-1. The 'over' is 5-1 the past six meetings overall. Another relatively high-scoring affair is expected.
Last years' reigning Football Champion Ben Burns is #1 in the NFL again this season! He's 100% perfect in the playoffs and the Super Bowl will be his 9th straight NFL winner. Don't miss out!
