bimmercandoDaily Prop Prediction From Raphael Esparza:
Take SEC (+245) To Win College Football National Championship
The Big 10 of course is the betting favorite around -200 but how could you pass up the SEC, who has five teams to the party? Wouldn’t shock me to see Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and A&M to advance next week, so that still gives us four SEC teams in and again we are getting +265. In my eyes Ohio State and Texas Tech and the two biggest threats and in the semifinals could be great games for us to even hedge on our +265 SEC ticket. When it comes to College Football playoff games anything can happen, but when you have 5 out 12 teams on your side and getting this price I will roll with the SEC and for me that hurts to type.
Soccer Prediction From Doc’s Sports:
Take ‘Under’ 2.5 Chelsea at Everton (10 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 13)
Chelsea is not in strong form offensively and they have averaged less than a goal per match in their last four. Last time we saw them in league action they earned a goose egg at Bournemouth in a very uninspiring performance. They didn’t record a shot on goal. They followed that up with a Champions League dud, scoring only one in a 2-1 loss at Atalanta. Not many good chances in that one, either. Until they get back to form, we think they will be a strong Under play in EPL action. Both teams here are among the better defensive clubs in the league. Everton have earned clean sheets in four of their last five matches. When you look at the history between these teams, eight of the last ten meetings have gone under 2.5, and there has been a single goal conceded between both teams in their last two meetings.
College Basketball Prediction From Strike Point Sports:
Take ‘Under’ 151.5 Arkansas at Texas Tech (Noon, Saturday, Dec. 13)
This is a big matchup on Saturday. This one is being played at American Airlines Arena in Dallas and will tip-off at 11 a.m. local time. I don’t think that either team will be its sharpest with the early tip and playing in a half-full NBA arena. Both teams are 3-6 against the total this season. These two teams played in the NCAA tournament back in March and that game went ‘over’ with 169 total points. That game went to OT and 24 points were scored in the OT. All four of the previous meetings went ‘under’. Take the ‘under’ here.
College Football Prediction From Nick Menken:
Take ‘Under’ 38.5 Army vs. Navy (3 p.m., Saturday Dec. 13)
This Army–Navy matchup is one of the most reliable under spots in all of college football, and this year sets up no differently. These service academy games are built around two teams that run the ball on nearly every snap, bleed the clock, and shorten the game to a limited number of possessions. Neither side plays with tempo, and both offenses are designed to grind out three to five yards at a time, which keeps the clock constantly moving. On top of that, both defenses practice against the triple-option style every single day, so there are no surprises; they know exactly how to fit gaps, stop the dive, and force long, methodical drives that rarely result in quick scores. Explosive plays are extremely limited in these matchups, and almost every Army–Navy game turns into a field-position battle where punts, fourth-down stops, and long drives ending in field goals decide the outcome. Add in the emotion and pressure of this rivalry, where both teams tighten up and avoid taking unnecessary risks, and you get a game where points come at a premium. With two disciplined defenses ready for the option and two offenses that slow the clock to a crawl, this one has all the makings of another classic grind that stays well under the 38.5 total on Saturday.
NFL Prediction From Scott Rickenbach:
Take #458 Philadelphia (-11.5) over Las Vegas (1 p.m., Sunday Dec. 14)
As of Tuesday afternoon, this line has already dropped from 12.5 as there will be a lot of anti-Eagles sentiment after the way they blew their game at LA against the Chargers on Monday night. The Eagles will not be a popular choice here but this is the perfect spot at home to take advantage of facing a team having a bad season. The Raiders are 2-11 this season and the Eagles will most certainly not be gracious hosts here as they are fired up after blowing a winnable game against the Chargers Monday night. Philadelphia will take advantage of a Raiders side whose average margin of defeat is 20 ppg in their 5 road losses. This game has blowout written all over it. Lay the big number here. Take Philadelphia.
NFL Prediction From Robert Ferringo:
Take Kansas City (-4.5) over L.A. Chargers (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 14)
We have racked up 84 of 134 wins in this space (63%) and I am 129-79 (62%) with my newsletter plays over the last 208 weeks. I’ll take one last stab with the Chiefs here. I don’t think that this team is done. Their backs are against the wall and this is a game they have to get. The Chargers are coming off a Monday Night Football win – which is always a good fade – and the Chiefs are playing with revenge for their loss to Los Angeles in Brazil to open the year. The Chargers needed overtime and five Jalen Hurts turnovers to beat the Eagles on MNF. Patrick Mahomes is coming off one of his worst games as a pro. I’m looking for Kansas City to rebound and to find a way to get back into things with a 23-16 win.
NFL Prediction From Griffin Murphy:
Take Miami (+3.5) over Pittsburgh (8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 15)
Miami comes into this game 6-7 and really in a race right now, winning 4 straight games, including a solid 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday. Things are seemingly clicking for the Dolphins as they are really playing all in for their head coach. Pittsburgh is coming off a huge win over Baltimore on Sunday, which landed in a 27-22 final. Baltimore couldn’t have played worse in that game, which opens up a huge seam for vulnerability and gaps. Pittsburgh is still just 2-3 in their last 5 games despite them leading the AFC North. This game has huge implications, and the pressure is truly riding on Pittsburgh at home in this game. We love the +3 points here with the Dolphins, as this game can absolutely come down to a 1-possession game. We believe the Dolphins have more momentum and are playing better football right now. The market is always begging the public to take Pittsburgh at home in this one on a massive speculated MNF primetime game. Let’s roll with the Dolphins +3 points here.
NFL Prediction From Doc’s Sports:
Take #483 Miami (+3.5) over Pittsburgh (8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 15)
Just do not trust the Steelers to be consistent following their big win over Baltimore last Sunday. Miami is riding high winning four straight games, and I think they will be able to take this game down to the wire on Monday Night Football. Pittsburgh has a key injury on offense and if he is not 100% they are not the same team. The Dolphins won the last meeting with the Steelers, and I feel we will be on the correct side backing the underdog.

NFL Prediction From Arun Shiva:
Take Miami (+3.5) over Pittsburgh (8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 15)
Who do you think will get up for this game more? Will it be the Miami Dolphins who everyone counted them out earlier this year and now who sit at an amazing 6-7 at this point or the Steelers who are 7-6 but who have all sort of issues right now. The Dolphins can you believe have 1 win less than the Steelers? What if I told you that the Dolphins have won 4 in a row here, including beating the Jets 34-10, beating the Saints 21-17, beating Washington 16-13, beating Buffalo 30-13 and of course routing my Falcons 34-10. This was a team that earlier this season lost to the Panthers by just 3 (that loss looks good now) and lost to the Chargers by 2 points. The Steelers of course beat a Ravens team by 5 points on the road but we can see them having a massive let down here. I think the Dolphins here want to make a statement and what better way to make a statement than to beat the Steelers on Monday Night Football and move to a shocking 7-7 on the year and we absolutely love these Dolphins to shock folks this week.
