Burns' Top 5 Future Bets To Make Right Now (ASAP)

As you all know, Burns has successfully predicted plenty of sporting outcomes already (via. articles) in his time as a handicapper. Most recently he had Stephon Castle to win ROTY (at +1000) in his "5 NBA Future Bets to Make Before the Season Begins" article. He's now -1400 with the final announcement coming in the next few weeks. Here are 5 future bets to make at this time and you better hurry. These odds will change!! *Not in Order. (odds via. DraftKings Sportsbook.)

I've been saying for a while now in my analysis' of NHL selections on the Leafs that I believe that this team is capable. Canada has not brought home a Stanley Cup in the 2000's yet and this could be its best chance to do so with six Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs. Currently up 1-0 in the Battle of Ontario vs. Ottawa in the first round. Toronto is going for glory. A matchup with the winner of Florida/Tampa will be tough in the second round. But, if the Maple Leafs can keep rolling, they most definitely can win it all this year. They are my pick to win the Cup this season. 

Still a bit of a longshot, I believe that these are still the best odds in the NBA to win the finals. Golden State is up 1-0 vs. Houston in the opening round of these playoffs and has a very good shot at advancing now. With the Timberwolves up 1-0 on the Lakers, Golden State's path to the WCF could be "slightly easier" than expected. I believe the same as Jimmy Butler believes. Any team has a chance, and especially with the likes of Stephen Curry. Golden State's dynasty may not be completely done yet. Expect the Warriors to fight their hardest to get back to another NBA finals this year in 2025. 

As the oddsmakers and I believe that the Los Angeles Dodgers are most definitely the favorites to win the World Series once again this year, there is definitely more value on playing on the NL to win the World Series at slightly more expensive odds than just the Dodgers. Philadelphia, NYM, Atlanta, San Diego & Arizona are all teams that I expect to compete for a spot in this years postseason and any of those teams could go on a run to the World Series if they get into the postseason. I believe that this is the best bet to make in the MLB at this given moment. 

Many people might think I'm crazy with this selection with Myles Garrett, TJ Watt and Aidan Hutchinson as top options to win this years Defensive Player Of The Year in the NFL. However, I believe that Micah Parsons is poised for his biggest season yet. We've already seen how talented this young edge rusher is out of Penn State and he's produced stellar numbers already. If the Cowboys stack up with more defense this year, Parsons should be able to explode even more this season and dominate the defensive side of the ball. Dallas fans should be excited. 

After adding Deebo Samuel Sr to the offense this offseason, Jayden Daniels has even more reasons to take it to another level in the 2025-26 season. He's coming off an amazing rookie year and took Washington to the playoffs and beating Detroit in the first round. With the win total set at 9.5 right before the seasons starts, this is a great time to get on the Washington Commanders train I expect them to win double digit games with ease this season. The Commanders went 12-5 last year in this division and are better than last year. Give me the "over" here.
