St John’s vs Georgetown Picks & Best Bets (Dec 31)

Our analysis reveals how and why St. John’s will cover the consensus -9.5 spread on the road Dynamic offenses should eclipse the consensus 155.5-point total The betting public is overwhelmingly backing St. John’s to win but taking Georgetown to cover A classic Big East showdown unfolds on New Year’s Eve as the St. John’s Red Storm travel to face the Georgetown Hoyas. Tip-off is at 8 pm, ET, (FS1). The Red Storm (8-4, 1-0 in Big East) are a heavy favorite, in large part due to their superior RPI ranking of No. 33. Georgetown (9-4, 1-1 Big East) hasn’t pushed itself as much. The Hoyas lost their only game against a ranked team (UNC), which partly explains why their RPI is No. 112.

Early NFL Props to Target for Week 18 – Trey Lance, Dylan Sampson & More

Week 18 is unpredictable with starters sitting and backups getting their shot Trey Lance, Dylan Sampson, and Michael Mayer offer the best value this week My Week 18 prop picks with matchup breakdowns and early line projections Week 18 is different from any other week. Half the league is resting starters, teams are tanking for draft picks, and backups are getting their first real action of the season. It’s unpredictable, but if you know what to look for, there’s real value in the NFL player props market. Last week didn’t go our way. Mayfield came through with 232 yards against Miami, but Cook and Chase both missed. We’re sitting at 22-27 for the season. Not where I wanted to be, but Week 18 gives us a chance to finish on a high note. I’ve got three props that make sense given who’s playing and who’s sitting.

US Online Casino Revenue Takes A Step Back In November To $918.6 Million

Following a massive new record of US online casino revenue in October, it wasn’t surprising to see the numbers take a slight step back in November. Last month, the seven iGaming states combined for $918.6 million , the second-highest monthly total in the country’s history. While it was a 5.3% decline from October’s $969.7 million , it was still an increase of 18.4% compared to the $774.9 million the states did in November 2024.
