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.

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
