Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Picks and Predictions January 5th 2025
The New York Giants head into their season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday with history on the line—but not the kind they’d prefer. The Giants (3-13) are at risk of recording the most losses in their 100-year franchise history, while the Eagles (13-3) plan to rest key players, including running back Saquon Barkley, as they prepare for the playoffs. After snapping a team-record 10-game losing streak with a 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts last week, the Giants are determined to finish on a high note. A win would help the franchise avoid setting a new low with 14 losses, a mark the team has matched twice before, most recently in 2021. However, New York still shares the

Ole Miss Rebels vs Georgia Bulldogs Picks and Predictions January 4th 2025
The SEC schedule kicks off Saturday with No. 24 Ole Miss looking to rebound from a loss as it hosts a surging Georgia team in Oxford, Miss. Both programs are riding strong non-conference campaigns into what promises to be a challenging league slate. Ole Miss (11-2) dropped its most recent game, falling 87-70 to Memphis on Dec. 28. Despite being down just two points at halftime, the Rebels were outrebounded 45-34, an issue coach Chris Beard identified as a key concern. “We got outrebounded tonight, and I don’t think rebounding was Memphis’ strength,” Beard said. “No doubt about it, that’s a concern of mine.” The Rebels, who fell seven spots in the latest AP poll, rely on balanced scoring with

Florida Gulf Coast Eagles vs. Florida Atlantic Owls Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 30th 2023

by

|

By reaching the Final Four in April, Florida Atlantic became the latest Cinderella story in college basketball. By winning a double-overtime game with No. 4 Arizona last Saturday in Las Vegas, the Owls might have proved they can shed the Cinderella label for another one: a national championship contender. The 96-95 victory over the Wildcats might be the biggest regular-season win in FAU history and powered it into the top 10 at No. 7. The … more

Houston Cougars vs. Pennsylvania Quakers Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 30th 2023

by

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson had a dual approach to the holiday break that enabled his team a welcome rest in advance of the final non-conference game on the schedule. The third-ranked Cougars (12-0) rolled to a 72-37 home victory over Texas State on Dec. 21, and the time between that triumph and their non-conference finale against Penn on Saturday allowed for some healing, particularly for forward J’Wan Roberts. Roberts leads the Cougars in rebounding at … more

No. 20 James Madison was ready for some time off after winning four games — including three on the road — in a span of 13 days to protect its perfect record and first ranking in program history. “This is difficult, more than people think of what we’re going through, the mental part, the physical exhaustion, the pressure,” Dukes coach Mark Byington said after an 89-75 win at Morgan State on Dec. 22. “We need … more

Duke secured a key result prior to Christmas, and that might make the next stretch of games a tad less stressful for the No. 16 Blue Devils. They will play their nonconference finale against Queens on Saturday afternoon at Durham, N.C. In its most recent game, Duke beat then-No. 10 Baylor 78-70 on Dec. 20 in New York, a soothing result for the Blue Devils. “(It was big) for us to be in some big-time … more
