The Chiefs Have Been Unlucky to be Unlucky this Season

by Team Del Genio

Thursday, Nov 27, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs’ season hit the brink last week after their 22-19 upset loss at Denver. The setback dropped their record to 5-5. With the Broncos now at 9-2 in first place in the AFC West, it is going to be very difficult for the Chiefs to extend their streak of nine straight division titles. Yet even securing a wildcard spot is not a certainty since they have already lost to the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo, and Jacksonville who are all in the wildcard hunt as well and have the tie-breaker edge (although at least Kansas City gets a second chance against the Chargers next month. The loss against the Broncos was their fifth setback in games decided by one-scoring possession. The Chiefs’ Super Bowl run last year was made possible by an incredible 12-0 record in games decided by eight points or less. This season, they have lost all five of their games decided by one scoring possession. The conventional wisdom is that Kansas City is finally experiencing the bad luck they were due in close games after being inexplicably lucky in those situations last year. For the record, the Chiefs had actually won seventeen games in a row in games decided by one scoring possession when going back to previous seasons before last year. A deeper look at the numbers actually exposes that Kansas City has been unexpectedly unfortunate this season. Clutch time in football is defined when the score is within eight points or less with five minutes or less remaining in the fourth quarter. Success rate on offense is measured by gaining at least 40% of the yards of the required yards needed on first down, 60% of the required yards to move the chains on second down, and 100% of the yards necessary for a first down on third and fourth downs. Last year, the Kansas City offense had a success rate on 43% of their downs in clutch time, ranking 14th in the NFL. They completed 57% of their passes in those situations. Those are not unreasonable numbers for an offense operated by Patrick Mahomes. Yet this season, in eleven offensive plays with five minutes or less left to go in the fourth quarter in a game within one scoring possession, Mahomes has completed only 2 of 10 passes for 29 yards. When accounting for a sack and a delay of game penalty, the Chiefs have gained only 13 net yards in their 11 offensive plays from scrimmage in clutch time this season. That statistic seems to be the true outlier. Andy Reid did not forget how to call plays or manage the clock. Mahomes is at the peak of his career. His connection with Travis Kelce remains uncanny, and the future Hall of Fame tight end is in the middle of a nice bounce-back season after catching 13 balls for 91 yards last week. This strange phenomenon was on display last week when Mahomes took the field with just over four minutes left in a tie game. He threw two straight incompletions before taking a sack and giving the ball back to Denver. The Broncos would go on to win the game with a field goal. In the past, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s group would bail the team out, yet they were seeing unusual results in clutch time. On third and fourth down with five minutes or less left in games still within one scoring possession, the Chiefs had given up six first downs on seven attempts. Quarterbacks had completed all four of those passes in those situations for 69 yards. These offenses had converted on third-and-15, third-and-14, and twice on third-and-seven. Their defensive success rate of 14% (1 of 7) was tied for the worst in clutch time in the last 26 seasons. The 13 yards per play they are giving up in clutch time is tied for the seventh-worst in the NFL in the last decade. Those statistics seemed to be the outliers, especially when there is a good case to be made that this year’s Kansas City team is better than last year’s group, despite the vastly different record. The Chiefs began week 12 averaging 25.4 points per game and 364 yards per game this year after posting 22.6 points per game and 328 yards per game averages last year. Spagnuolo’s defense was very good last year by holding their opponents to 19.2 points per game and 321 yards per game, yet this year’s unit is only giving up 18.1 points per game and 297 yards per game. The offense had not been at full strength all year, given the suspension of wide receiver Rashee Rice and the injury to Xavier Worthy early in the season. Yet both receivers were back, along with a healthy Hollywood Brown this season to join Kelce and an emerging Tyquan Thornton as a deep threat. A case can be made that this is the best set of targets in the passing game for Mahomes since the Tyreek Hill days. Rookie left tackle Josh Simmons has been a steal as the last pick in the first round of the NFL draft, yet he missed a month to deal with personal family matters. He returned to action last week.With a 5-5 record, Kansas City hosted Indianapolis in a must-win game last Sunday. They fell behind, 20-9, in the second half of that game. Yet the Chiefs demonstrated they still possessed their clutch gene by undertaking a ferocious comeback. Spagnuolo’s defense held the Colts to four straight three-and-outs in their final four possessions and limited them to just 18 total yards in those four drives. On offense, Mahomes led that unit to 231 yards in their final four drives to pull off a 23-20 victory in overtime.Winning their first game decided by one-scoring possession probably will not put to rest the notion that Kansas City was simply lucky to win seventeen games in a row decided by one scoring possession. It probably will not convince those who concluded that losing their first five games this season, decided by one scoring possession, was the inevitable course correction, either. Yet it should have demonstrated that these things are more complicated than they seem. Good luck - TDG.

Western Conference NBA Contenders – Real or Fake:

by Nelly's Sports

Thursday, Nov 27, 2025

The defending champion Thunder are off to a dominant start and should be expected to run away with the Western Conference lead in the regular season barring a major injury situation. There is a crowded pack of contenders behind the Thunder in the early season standings but not even a quarter of the way through the season, the schedules can be quite unbalanced. Here is a look at the next five teams in the current postseason picture and an assessment of the credibility of the start for these Western Conference contenders. #2 Los Angeles Lakers (13-4): The Lakers were the #3 seed in the Western Conference standings last season, but they wound up on top of a group of seven teams between 50-32 and 48-34 for an incredibly tight pack. Los Angeles made a big splash mid-season with the Luka Doncic trade, but the Lakers ultimately exited the playoffs quickly losing in five games to Minnesota. Doncic has averaged 35 points a game while Austin Reaves has made the leap to an All-Star level to carry the Lakers early in the season. LeBron James has only played three games so far as this group could have a very high ceiling. The Lakers are 8-2 on the road this season but the average scoring differential for the Lakers is just +3.5, seventh best in the Western Conference. The strength of schedule has also been mediocre so far, producing two wins vs. Minnesota to avenge last year’s playoff exit but losing games with Golden State and Oklahoma City by double-digit margins. While this is a likely playoff team with the potential to shine in a short-series format, this doesn’t look like a team that will finish in second place in the West. #3 Denver Nuggets (13-4): Denver led the West in the 2022-23 NBA season and then delivered an NBA championship. The Nuggets haven’t reached the same pace since and made the stunning move to fire Michael Malone with six games remaining in the regular season last April. Denver has strong scoring numbers in a 13-4 start that includes a 7-2 road record this season and 11 wins vs. fellow Western Conference teams. David Adelman’s team has not played a strong schedule, but the Nuggets are 6-1 in the toughest games including a win over Houston on the road in late November. The only loss against the top half of the league was the season opening overtime loss at Golden State. Denver’s schedule is rather favorable in December as the Nuggets could emerge as the #2 team in the conference in the coming weeks before hitting a brutal seven-game road trip bridging the 2025 calendar to 2026 as that upcoming east coast trip could take a toll. Denver still has four games remaining with Oklahoma City as well as the Nuggets are most likely to land right where they are in the end. #4 Houston Rockets (12-4): The Rockets finished as the #2 team in the Western Conference last season and this year’s team could look more than capable of that finish again. Houston has the second best average scoring differential in the NBA at this point in the season and the 12-4 record includes seven road wins and a top 10 strength of schedule. There may be some suspicion for this group in the postseason as Houston didn’t escape the opening round last season and so far in the 2025-26 schedule the Rockets haven’t performed well vs. top competition, going 2-4 vs. top 10 teams with wins over Cleveland and Orlando, but winless so far vs. top tier Western Conference teams. Kevin Durant has missed the team’s recent wins on the road over Phoenix and Golden State and Durant hasn’t shot up to the level of his career norms yet this season, as the Rockets have more potential than has been displayed so far this season. #5 San Antonio Spurs (12-5): If there is a team in the current top six that could miss the playoffs entirely by the end of the season it is the Spurs. The scoring numbers are modest and two thirds of the wins for the Spurs have come in home games. San Antonio has just one win vs. a top 10 team so far this season and has faced one of the weakest schedules in the league at this point. Victor Wembanyama has missed five games and isn’t expected back for several more weeks and the Spurs are likely to be cautious with their young superstar’s health. The December schedule does offer some challenging games as well including back-to-back games with the Thunder towards the end of the month. Since starting 5-0, the Spurs are just 7-5 though it is worth noting that San Antonio didn’t have De’Aaron Fox early in the season with Fox and Wembanyama on the court together for only four games so far this season. If the Spurs can hold a playoff spot and have their full roster in April, this group has some potential to make a run, but holding on to a top six spot through the injuries and a stiffening schedule is going to be difficult with several quality teams chasing in the early Western Conference picture. #6 Phoenix Suns (12-7): The Suns bottomed out last season, missing the postseason entirely with a 36-46 finish. All the key players for Phoenix missed significant time while the roster attempted a few moves that didn’t pan out. This year’s team has offered more potential even with Jalen Green only playing two games before getting injured and likely out several more weeks. Dillon Brooks has delivered a strong start to the season while Grayson Allen and Devin Booker remain elite shooters in the backcourt. Adding Mark Williams from Charlotte has also proven to be a positive addition so far as the Suns have competed well overall. Phoenix is just a .500 road team, and the +4.2 average scoring differential isn’t overly encouraging. The Suns do have 11 Western Conference wins and from starting 1-4 the Suns are 11-3 since. The schedule ranks as one of the weaker paths in the league at this point but Phoenix has two wins over San Antonio plus a win over Minnesota. Phoenix lost by 22-point margins to both Denver and Houston in the toughest tests so far, however. December will be telling about the trajectory of this team with a difficult upcoming schedule facing only top eight Western Conference teams in the next eight games. Minnesota and Golden State will be expected to challenge for top six spots in the coming months as proven playoff teams from recent years that have had mixed results early this season. Minnesota has struggled mightily against quality teams however in the early season schedule while the Warriors have more credibility in their early season record. Portland and Memphis have shown some signs to emerge as possible upstarts at the edge of the Western Conference playoff picture as well.

Big Ten Basketball Early Season Snapshot

by Nelly's Sports

Thursday, Nov 27, 2025

The Big Ten schedule features an early December snapshot with most teams playing two games before the holiday break and the resumption of the conference season in January. We’ve learned some things in non-conference play the past few weeks, here is a quick look at a few standouts from the Big Ten and what to expect in the early season conference preview games.  The Favorite – Purdue: Matt Painter and Purdue made it to the national title game in the 2024 NCAA Tournament and appear to be on pace for an excellent season again. The 6-0 start includes five top 150 wins including notable wins away from home against Alabama and Texas Tech. Beating the Red Raiders by 30 last week in the Bahamas was an eye-opening result to display the potential of this team. A non-conference game with Iowa State lurks in early December while Purdue will also face Auburn later in the month. The two early season conference games are not likely to change the course of the hot start for the Boilermakers as one of the top ranked teams in the country, as Purdue faces Rutgers and Minnesota in December, with those two teams currently projected at the bottom of the league. Purdue has a favorable league schedule facing most of the current top teams in the conference once each as this should be considered the most likely team to finish on top of the standings.  Emerging Power – Michigan: Dusty May’s first season in Ann Arbor was a success with 27 wins and a Sweet 16 run after he took over a team that went 8-24 in 2023-24. This year’s team has proven even greater potential with a terrific collection of non-conference wins. Michigan has not played a game outside the nation’s top 200 in a 7-0 start and has four top 50 wins including an amazing trip to Las Vegas that produced blowout wins over Auburn and Gonzaga ahead of Thanksgiving. Next on the schedule is the Big Ten opener with Rutgers that may not prove much, before a non-conference test with Villanova, and then a more impactful contest with the Big Ten road opener at Maryland. May has used the transfer portal to reload this roster and so far, everything is working. A look ahead reveals a difficult closing run in the conference slate with road games against Purdue, Illinois, and Iowa plus the home finale vs. Michigan State all in the final five Big Ten games as this group does have the potential to slip just before the postseason, even if an undefeated run may continue well into 2026.  Usual Suspects – Michigan State: Tom Izzo continues to thrive at Michigan State as the Spartans won the Big Ten regular season title last season before making the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament for another strong campaign. A big November win over Kentucky grabbed headlines for the Spartans in a 6-0 start but that perfect record may not last long. On Thanksgiving Day Michigan State faces North Carolina in Florida and the Spartans will host Duke in a high-profile non-conference game in early December. Michigan State also has a difficult Big Ten opener next week hosting Iowa before the conference road opener at Penn State in mid-December. Michigan State’s conference path is backloaded once the Big Ten slate picks up. By the end of January the Spartans should be one of the conference leaders but then will face Michigan twice, plus Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and UCLA all in the final 10 games of the conference season for a daunting closing path that may knock the Spartans off the top rung of the standings.  Prove It Game Illinois vs. Ohio State: A key early season game to sort out a few possible Big Ten threats will be Ohio State hosting Illinois December 9 in one of the more prominent games on the early season Big Ten conference snapshot schedule. Ohio State is 6-0 in the second season under Jake Diebler looking to bounce back after a mediocre 17-15 season. The non-conference schedule hasn’t provided much meaningful data for the Buckeyes however as the 6-0 start includes just one top 100 opponent with a one-point win for the Buckeyes hosting Notre Dame. Illinois has gone 12-8 or better in five of the past six Big Ten seasons for Brad Underwood. This year’s team has split two prominent non-conference games, beating Texas Tech but losing to Alabama in a pair of close games. Illinois also has upcoming tests vs. Connecticut and Tennessee to try to add more weight to the non-conference resume before a tricky conference opener in Columbus that could show whether the Illini are a top-tier team in the conference or not.  Sleeper - USC: Eric Musselman made two Elite 8s while coaching at Arkansas before being hired at USC ahead of last season. His first season with the Trojans as the program moved to the Big Ten had some ups-and-downs with a few notable wins but a struggle late in the season, sliding to 7-13 in Big Ten play. Expectations were grounded to start this season, but USC has compiled a solid 7-0 start. There isn’t a signature win in that ledger, but USC has five top 150 wins and three top 100 wins, beating major conference teams Seton Hall and Arizona State in a 3-0 trip to Hawaii in late November tournament action. USC will face former Pac-12 rivals Oregon and Washington to open the Big Ten campaign, and it won’t be a shock if the Trojans can reach 13-0 before heading to Ann Arbor and East Lansing in back-to-back early January road tests.  Transition Teams – Indiana & Iowa: In coaching change seasons Indiana and Iowa have both delivered perfect starts to the season. Darian DeVries had a great run at Drake before one season at West Virginia. The roster has been compiled with mostly smaller conference transfers for the Hoosiers, but early season wins over Marquette and Kansas State offer some credibility. Indiana will be expected to start 2-0 in Big Ten play in December but will also face a couple of heavyweight non-conference tests that are likely to test the perfect start. Ben McCollum took over Drake last season when DeVries left for Morgantown and went 31-4 including a NCAA Tournament win. McCollum’s roster at Iowa also includes several small conference transfers as well and has offered a dramatic change of pace from Fran McCaffery’s Iowa teams. So far it is working with Iowa 7-0 including two top 100 wins in non-conference play. Iowa will have a headline-making opportunity opening the Big Ten season at Michigan State next week.

NFL Futures Pick: Baltimore Ravens to Win the Super Bowl

by Sean Murphy

Thursday, Nov 27, 2025

If there were ever a year to back a so-called 'sleeper pick' to win the Super Bowl, I think this is it. The AFC hasn't been nearly as clear as we've become accustomed to seeing in terms of the playoff picture and certainly not as far as potential AFC Championship Game matchups go. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have been beatable. The New England Patriots - in the first year of their progression under head coach Mike Vrabel - have taken the conference by storm, including an 'upset' victory on the road in Buffalo earlier in the season but whether that success translates to the postseason remains to be seen. The Indianapolis Colts have also returned to prominence with QB Daniel Jones enjoying a renaissance season but we've seen cracks in their armor recently. With all of that being said, my money is on the Baltimore Ravens at +1200 or better.The Ravens got off to a miserable start to the season and then lost QB Lamar Jackson to injury for a number of weeks. Jackson has returned and while he hasn't looked 100-percent healthy, he hasn't needed to be thanks to a forgiving recent schedule. Baltimore has climbed all the way to 6-5 following a 1-5 start and while its schedule will toughen up later in December, it is certainly on track to win the AFC North and return to the playoffs to take care of some unfinished business. While a recent injury to Kyle Hamilton stings, the Ravens defense has staged an incredible turn-around and should continue to ramp up ahead of a season-ending three-game stretch that will see them face the Patriots, Packers and Steelers in sucession, with the latter two games coming on the road.I'm willing to bet on talent when it comes to the Ravens offense. Jackson has certainly appeared to be holding back as he continues to fully heal from a multitude of injuries. RB Derrick Henry has yet to really get rolling but December is generally when he has made his money over the course of his career, with opposing defenses opting-out when it comes to tackling the backfield behemoth. While Baltimore's receiving corps lacks true star-power, there's enough talent on hand to give the other AFC contenders trouble come January. There's a good chance the Ravens winning streak could balloon to as many as eight games given their upcoming schedule (games against the Bengals sandwiched around a home date with the Steelers). I think now is the time to get the best Super Bowl price on this veteran team.

Big Al's NCAA Football System of the Week

by Al McMordie

Thursday, Nov 27, 2025

The 2025 NCAA Football regular season wraps up (except for the Army/Navy game in two weeks) this weekend.  And the end of a season often provides great betting situations.  We'll look at one of them here for our NCAA Football System of the Week.It's a 'momentum' and 'revenge' system all wrapped into one.  What it does is plays on any revenge-minded underdog which scored more than 50 points in its previous game, in the regular season, at Game 9 forward.This system has rolled to a 92-64-3 ATS record over the last 46 years!  This Saturday, it has two active plays.  Let's take a look at each:Wake Forest +1 over DukeAuburn +6 over AlabamaThe Wake Forest Demon Deacons destroyed Delaware last week, 52-14, as an 18-point favorite.  And it plays with triple revenge from three narrow losses the past three seasons.  In 2022, the Deacs lost, 34-31.  Two years ago, they lost by three once again, 24-21.  And last year, they fell by six, 23-17.  This Saturday, it plays at Duke.The Iron Bowl has seen Alabama win each of the last five meetings, including 28-14 last season in Tuscaloosa.  Auburn put up 62 vs. overmatched Mercer, in a 45-point win, in last week's tune-up for its big rivalry game vs. Alabama.  It will be played at home, in Auburn.There is one subset of our system which performs best, and that is when our revenge-minded underdog is playing away from home.  Those teams have gone 61-37-2 ATS, while our home teams are 31-27-1 ATS.  The Deacons fit our 61-37-2 ATS subset.Good luck, as always,Al McMordie.

NFL Thanksgiving Prop Bets are the Perfect Side Dish

by Vegas Writer

Wednesday, Nov 26, 2025

With three games set for Thanksgiving, here are some player props to think about before heading back for seconds, and that will most certainly be better than any green bean casserole.PACKERS at LIONSJahmyr Gibbs 5+ receptions (-140)The Detroit running back registered a career-high 11 receptions, a career-best 264 scrimmage yards (219 rushing, 45 receiving) and three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving) last week. The Packers have allowed 54 receptions by running backs this season, tied for the eighth most in the league.CHIEFS at COWBOYSPatrick Mahomes Over 270 yards (-105)The Kansas City quarterback passed for 352 yards last week, his 50th career game with at least 300 passing yards. Mahomes has passed for more than 270 yards in four of his last five games, and 270 or more in six of 11 this season. I'm betting he and Dak Prescott could get into a passing showdown on Turkey Day, as it wouldn't surprise me if this is the most entertaining game of the day. Mahomes will pass for more than 270 yards.RAVENS at BENGALSDerrick Henry 2+ TDs (+230)I have confidence Baltimore's star running back will get at least one touchdown, but that price is too steep. I'd rather take the huge value in him getting two or more touchdowns, as he rushed for two touchdowns last week, his 30th career game with multiple rushing touchdowns - the third-most such games in NFL history. Henry ranks fifth in the NFL with nine rushing touchdowns this season, and faces a Bengals defense that has allowed nine TDs to running backs, tied for ninth highest in the league.

MLS Cup Futures (2025 Season)

by Amedeus Mastrangelo

Tuesday, Nov 25, 2025

The MLS Cup is down to the Conference Finals with just 4 teams remaining. Inter Miami and New York City FC will battle it out for the Eastern Conference on Saturday, November 29, while San Diego FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps battle it out for the Western Conference on the same day. Both Conference Finals are single matches with the higher seed having home advantage, and the MLS Cup Final will be played on Saturday, December 6, with the higher seed from the full MLS league table having home advantage in that match.  MLS Cup Winner Inter Miami +150: Inter Miami is the team with the best chance at taking home the MLS Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. Inter Miami finished in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference with 65 points from a 19-8-7 record and they also finished in 3rd place in the overall league table. They have one of the better squads in the league, led by one of the best players in the world in Messi, and this has been something that they have been building toward since he entered the league. They have come close in recent years, but everything has fallen in line this season for it to be their year. They did struggle a bit in the 1st round of the playoffs as they dropped their away match against Nashville, but they were dominant in both home matches to advance. They were also dominant in the last round as they went on the road and beat a very good Cincinnati team that actually finished higher in the table. Inter Miami has been a much stronger team at home all season though, going 1-3-3 there during the regular season, and they are going to have the home advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals. There is no Western Conference team that finished higher in the table either so Inter Miami will have home advantage in the MLS Cup Final as well if they can get there. They have had the strongest attack in the league all season with 81 goals scored in their 34 matches, the next best team in the league scoring 68. Their defense has also tightened up as they have not allowed a goal in their last 2 playoff matches. Inter Miami has the pieces to get the job done this season and this is the trophy that Messi has been chasing since joining the league. Inter Miami at +150 has a lot of value. San Diego FC +225: San Diego FC is the team with the next best chance at taking home the MLS Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. San Diego finished the regular season in 1st place of the Western Conference with 63 points from a 19-6-9 record and they also finished in 4th place of the overall league table. San Diego is still in its inaugural season, but they have had a dominant 1st season in the MLS. They have a lot of quality in their squad and have truly made a statement in this 1st season. They were great in the 1st round of the playoffs as they kicked out Portland, winning both home matches and forcing penalties which they lost in their away match. Now they are coming off of a 1-0 win against Minnesota in the last round, but their attack was not great in the match. Their defense has been great in the playoffs as they have not allowed a goal in their last 2 matches and their defense has also been great all season, allowing 41 goals in their 34 matches. They scored 64 goals in their 34 matches as well, being very balanced this season, and they are going to have the home advantage in the Western Conference Finals. They will not have home advantage if they get to the MLS Cup, but they have also been the best away team in the league all season. They are facing Vancouver in the Western Conference Finals and that is no easy out, but they have played Vancouver twice this season and did not lose either match. They drew 1 and won 1, but they actually won the away match and drew the home match. That could be a problem here as San Diego was significantly worse at home this season at 7-5-5, so the home advantage could even work against them here. San Diego has the pieces to get to the Final, but this is still their 1st season in the league and they are going to run into some tough competition that wants it more. There is some value in San Diego FC at this price, but they are not the best option here.  Vancouver Whitecaps +250: Vancouver is the team with the next best chance at taking home the MLS Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. Vancouver finished the regular season in 2nd place in the Western Conference with 63 points from an 18-9-7 record and they also finished in 5th place in the overall league table. They had a very good attack this season that scored 66 goals in their 34 matches, and they also had the 2nd best defense in the league, allowing 38 goals in their 34 matches. They were dominant in the 1st round of the playoffs as they swept Dallas in 2 matches, winning 3-0 at home and beating them in penalties away from home after a 1-1 draw. They also knocked out a heavy hitter in the last round as they kicked out LAFC, but they won at home in penalties after a 2-2 draw, and they had a late 2-0 lead in that match which they blew. Their defense has not played as well recently with 3 goals allowed in their last 2 matches and that could get them into trouble here being away from home. They were 8-5-4 away from home this season which was still one of the better away records in the league this season, but they are up against a San Diego side in the Western Conference Finals that will be able to match their defensive play. Vancouver also played against San Diego twice this season and did not win either match. They drew the away match in San Diego, but this is going to be a very tough match for them to get through and they could have an even tougher opponent waiting for them in the Final with no home advantage for the rest of the playoffs either, unless NYCFC makes the Final. Vancouver has been a very good team this season, but they have potentially 2 very tough teams standing in their way so there is not a lot of value in them at this price with all things considered.  New York City FC +800: New York City FC is the team with the next best chance at taking home the MLS Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. NYCFC finished the regular season in 5th place of the Eastern Conference with 56 points from a 17-5-12 record and they also finished in 9th place in the overall league table. They had a good defense this season that allowed 44 goals in their 34 matches and they were able to lean on that defense throughout these playoffs. Their attack has not been good all season though as they only scored 50 goals in their 34 matches, which is the lowest of the remaining teams, and they only scored 5 goals in all 4 of their playoff matches. They were able to knock out a higher seeded Charlotte side in the 1st round with better defense. They actually drew their only home match 0-0, losing in penalties, but won both away matches by scores of 3-1 and 1-0. They also pulled off another impressive win in the last round as they went on the road in a single match round and kicked out the Supporters’ Shield winner, the Philadelphia Union, with a 1-0 away win. They have been very impressive in the playoffs, but they were not in good form going into the playoffs and that could start to catch up to them now. They are by far the least talented team left in the playoffs and they have the best team left in the competition in front of them. NYCFC was 6-5-6 away from home this season which is not bad, but it is not a great record either and they actually allowed more goals than they scored in their 17 away matches. They do not have the home advantage in this next round and they will not have home advantage against anyone left in the playoffs. NYCFC has gone on a magical run in the playoffs, but they do not have the pieces to win the MLS Cup this season and will likely get stopped before the Final. There is no real value in NYCFC at this price.  RecommendationWith only 4 teams left in the competition, it has become very clear where the MLS Cup Final is headed. With the way each team has played this season and the quality on both sides, the MLS Cup is headed right for an Inter Miami vs San Diego FC Final. San Diego FC at +225 to win the MLS Cup is not a bad option, but the much better option would be to take San Diego FC to reach the Final at -138. San Diego has a very good team that certainly has the quality to win it all in their 1st ever season, but that is still a very tough feat to accomplish and everything is pointing toward this being Messi’s year. Inter Miami made a statement in the last round with a 4-0 away win over the 2nd best team in the league during the regular season. Inter Miami at +150 to win the MLS Cup is the best option as it is finally their year to do it.

News From Each American Sport

by AAA Sports

Tuesday, Nov 25, 2025

In the NFL:  Thanksgiving weekend is upon us and there's some terrific games still to be played this season. The Thanksgiving/Black Friday card includes: Green Bay @ DetroitKansas City @ Dallas Cincinnati @ BaltimoreChicago @ PhiladelphiaWho's going to win this year's MVP award?With the 'normal' powerhouse teams having a bit of trouble this season, the MVP is most certainly still up for grabs into the final third of the season. Matthew Stafford has taken the lead for the favorite after his performance against the Buccaneers this week and he's at -210 at DraftKings. But, Drake Maye is on his heels at +200. Pat Mahomes / Josh Allen are falling further and further back but it's not set in stone quite yet. Jonathan Taylor and his breathtaking season is also among that group with those QBs. Who's the Super Bowl favorite?As one would think, the Rams of LA are the favorites to win right now at +400 but it's definitely still up in the air. Philadelphia, Kansas City, Seattle and Indianapolis come next with plenty of other teams within the +1200 range and lower.  In the NBA:  The first month of the NBA season has passed and here's what we know. The Oklahoma City Thunder really could be challenging the 72-10 Bulls and the 73-9 Warriors for best regular season record of all time. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't even been needed to play the fourth quarter in a lot of the Thunder's games this year they are so good. In the East ~ Detroit is unconscious right now with a 12 game winning streak and Toronto is on an eight game winning streak. Washington , Indiana , Brooklyn and Charlotte combine for just 10 wins. Denver / LAL / Houston are all making moves in the West. But, New Orleans continues to have trouble keeping up with anybody.  In the NHL:  Just like the NBA, a month and a bit has passed by in the NHL. Colorado has definitely been the top team so far winning 16 of it's 22 games. (five OTL meaning it's failed to get a point in just one of 22 games.) The Eastern Conference is so wide open with #1-14 separated by just six points. Nashville is in shambles again. Calgary can't keep the puck out of it's net. And Toronto might need to make some moves with the injury problems.  In College Sports: The last weekend of the NCAAFB regular season is this week with some of the top rivalry games in all of sports. The Game between Ohio State and Michigan. The Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn. Many more without names as big as those will take places too including UGA and Georgia Tech. Texas A&M and Texas. And more. The end of November in College Basketball means that there is a boat load of tournaments going on right now across the United States and even Mexico. There are getting to be more and more tournaments every single year with more and more to play for. Some of the tournaments have an immense amount of NIL Money and others are giving big trophies unlike any we've ever seen.
