EFL Cup Futures (2025/26 Season)

by Amedeus Mastrangelo

Saturday, Nov 22, 2025

The EFL Cup is down to the final 8 teams with the Quarter-Finals set to start on Tuesday, December 16. Liverpool is the club with the most EFL Cups in their history with 10, but they are not in the competition anymore, leaving Manchester City as the club with the most EFL Cups still left in the competition. Newcastle is the defending champion of the tournament though, and they have made an appearance in the Finals twice in the last 3 years. There are plenty of quality teams left in this tournament though, so with the competition approaching the final stretch now, it is time to see who has the best chance at taking home the EFL Cup this season.  To Win Outright Manchester City +225: Man City is coming into the Quarter-Finals of this competition as the team with the best chance at taking home the EFL Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. Man City has the 2nd most EFL Cups of any team in the competition's history, but with Liverpool out of the tournament, Man City is the active club with the most titles. Man City last won the competition in 2021 though and they have not even made it back to a Final since then. Man City struggled to start this new Premier League season as they made many key changes to their squad and are not the same team that has dominated the league for years, but recently they have been climbing up the table with a surge of good play. They are certainly one of the more talented teams left in the competition, but their focus may not fully be on this competition so there is not a lot of value in them as the favorite to win it all. They are about to enter a very tough stretch of the schedule where the matches are much more condensed and that is going to take a toll on this team as they have other competitions that are much bigger to worry about. They still only have the 1 Champions League Title despite their Premier League dominance over the years, and considering how poorly they did in that competition last season, Champions League will be the primary focus for this squad. They have also worked their way back into a position where they can win the Premier League Title as well so this is certainly a trophy that can slip through the cracks for them. Man City has the quality to go to the Final, but their focus will not fully be on this competition, and they have not performed well in the tournament over the last 4 years. There is no real value in Man City at this price.  Arsenal +225: Arsenal is coming into the Quarter-Finals of this competition as the team with the best chance at taking home the EFL Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. They have the same odds as Man City coming into the Quarter-Finals since they are currently sitting at the top of the table and have one of the better squads in the league. They have not had a very good history in this competition though. They have only won the EFL Cup twice in their history, last winning in 1993. Their last appearance in the Final was back in 2018 which they lost to Man Utd 3-0, and that is their only Final appearance in the last 14 years. Arsenal has been dominant in the league this season as they have one of the better squads with a lot of depth and are currently sitting atop the table, but they also have bigger fish to fry this season. They have been near the top of the Premier League table for a few years now, but they continue to come up short. Now they have one of their best chances to win the title this season so they are going to be razor focused on winning the Premier League Title. They also made a very deep run in Champions League last season so that is a competition they can certainly win and will be focused on that one more as well. Arsenal certainly has both the quality and the depth to win this tournament, but they have not performed well historically and will not be fully focused again with unfinished business in these other competitions. They also have a very tough path to the Final as they play Crystal Palace in the next round and if they can get by them, they would see the winner of Chelsea/Cardiff which will not be an easy out either. Arsenal has bigger competitions to worry about this season with a real chance in both of those, there is no real value in them at this price.  Chelsea +450: Chelsea is coming into the Quarter-Finals of this competition as the team with the next best chance at taking home the EFL Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. Chelsea is 4th on the list of all-time EFL Cup winners with 5 titles, but they have not won this competition since 2015. They have done very well in this competition in recent years though, making 2 Final appearances in the last 4 years as well as 3 Final appearances in the last 7 years. They also came very close in all 3 of those as 1 was a 1-0 loss while the other 2 were both lost in penalties after 0-0 draws. Chelsea was one of the better teams in the Premier League last season as they have been building a very good and young team over the last few years. They were not a threat to win the title last season, but they did go on to win the Conference League as well as the Club World Cup in the summer. They are currently sitting in 2nd place in the Premier League table and they are certainly a threat to win the title this season. They are also in Champions League so they have other more important competitions to worry about, but they still have one of the more talented squads in the league with a lot of depth, and they are very fortunate with their draw in this competition. They are playing Cardiff in the next round so that should be a match they get through easily. Then they would play the winner of Arsenal/Crystal Palace in the next round which is certainly a tougher matchup, but they do have the quality to compete with the best in the league. Chelsea has been knocking on the door of this competition over the last few years with much worse teams, but now they have a squad good enough to win it all and this is some good value for them considering their easier path. Chelsea has some value to win this competition at this price. Newcastle United +550: Newcastle is coming into the Quarter-Finals of this competition as the team with the next best chance at taking home the EFL Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. Newcastle is the defending champion of the competition, beating Liverpool in the Final 2-1, and they have now made 2 Final appearances in the last 3 years. Winning this competition last year was actually their 1st ever EFL Cup in club history though. It is unlikely that they will go B2B though. They have had an awful start to the season as they are currently sitting in the bottom half of the table so they are going to need to step up their game in the league, and they still have Champions League matches to worry about on top of that. They also lost some quality that made their team so good last season, so they are in line to take a step back like the way they have started the season. They are up against Fulham in the next round which is a more manageable match for them, but they will have to see the winner of Man City/Brentford after that and either opponent would be a very tricky match for them. Newcastle is not going to repeat as the winner of this competition with the form they have been in and this is not a competition they should be focused on with their trouble in the Premier League this season. There is no real value in Newcastle at this price.  Crystal Palace +1200: Crystal Palace is coming into the Quarter-Finals of this competition as the team with the next best chance at taking home the EFL Cup this season, according to the oddsmakers. Crystal Palace has had a very good start to the season as they are currently sitting in the top 4 of the Premier League and they have some quality in their squad, but they are also very inconsistent. They cannot be trusted in a competition like this as they get deeper into it, and they do not have a very good history in this tournament either. They have never won the EFL Cup in their club history and they have never even made a Final appearance either. They also have one of the toughest paths to win this competition as they are playing against Arsenal in the next round and if they were to get through that match, they would have to play the winner of Chelsea/Cardiff to get to the Final. It is very unlikely that they get through both matches and even if they do, they will have another very tough opponent waiting for them in the Final. Crystal Palace has a solid squad, but they are not good enough to win this competition, especially with the path they have in front of them. There is no real value in Crystal Palace at this price.  RecommendationThere are good teams on both sides of the bracket to close out this competition, but there is 1 clear option to win it all with all things considered. Chelsea at +450 is the best option as they certainly have the quality and depth in their squad to beat anyone left in this competition, and they have performed very well in this competition over the last few years. Chelsea also has an easier path to the Final and has been knocking on the door for years, this is their season to get it done. Chelsea at +450 to take home the EFL Cup this year.

ASA's NFL Player Props - November 23rd

by ASA, Inc.

Friday, Nov 21, 2025

ASA’s NFL PLAYER PROPS for Sunday, November 23rdDrake Maye Over 253.5 Passing Yards - New England PatriotsMaye is averaging 258 passing yards per game and surpassed that mark in eight of his eleven games in 2025. Moreover, the Patriots bout with the Bengals currently has the highest point total of the weekend (51.5) with Joe Burrow possibly making a return to action. The second-year QB is leading the league in passing yards and gets a mouthwatering matchup against the league's second worst pass defense on Sunday. OC Josh McDaniels has unlocked Maye’s potential, making him into a deadly accurate thrower, illustrated by his league leading completion percentage. All signs point to the Patriots continued domination as Maye keeps working toward a potential MVP award. Jonathan Taylor Over 90.5 Rushing Yards - Indianapolis ColtsArguably the most talented running back in the league, Taylor is having himself a historic season. He leads the league averaging six yards per carry while also having the most attempts per game, equating to nearly 114 rushing yards per contest. The elite volume and efficiency are eerily similar to Saquon Barkley’s season in 2024 where he ran for over 2,000 yards. Indianapolis travels to Arrowhead stadium to face the Chiefs stout run defense, ranking ninth in rushing yards allowed per game. However, with the way the Colts ground game has been bulldozing opponents, JT will be hard to contain. Taylor has surpassed this line in four of the last five games, and will look to do so again. Rome Odunze Over 48.5 Receiving Yards - Chicago BearsOdunze has had a solid sophomore season averaging 60 ypg, while becoming the number one option in Ben Johnson’s passing scheme. Caleb Williams has improved drastically this year, relying on Odunze for chunk plays. In week 12, Pittsburgh brings their league worst passing defense to Chicago in a huge matchup between division leaders. One would think Williams will have free rein to air it out in a possible shootout vs city nemesis Aaron Rodgers. Odunze has a 24% target share in the Bears offense and this pass heavy outlook sets up perfect for their big body receiver. This line is very attainable given what we have seen from the former top ten pick out of Washington.

College Football Top 10 Power Rankings for Week 13

by Wayne Root

Wednesday, Nov 19, 2025

As the college football regular season winds down, there hasn’t been a shortage of intrigue. That was again the case in Week 12, and it led to a major shakeup in the latest Top 10. Week 12 of the college football season produced plenty of chaos, as seven ranked teams went down — including two in the top 10.The newest power ratings – remember, they aren’t rankings – saw plenty of movement ahead of Week 13. Some notable results came in the SEC as Alabama suffered its second loss of the year and Texas lost its third game as those two games had plenty of implications. With rivalry week approaching, the games are getting even more important across college football. But not enough to get the SEC from playing their week of cupcakes. 1. Ohio State (Record: 10-0)Week 13 Matchup: vs. Rutgers Scarlet KnightsThe Buckeyes are also the top team in the College Football Playoff rankings as they continue their dominant run through the 2025 season. Ohio State took care of business with a 48-10 win over UCLA on Saturday. The Buckeyes dominated on the ground with Carnell Tate out and Jeremiah Smith injured, running for 7.2 yards per carry while holding the Bruins to only 3.2 yards per attempt. 2. Indiana (Record: 11-0)Week 13 Matchup: ByeThe Hoosiers take a perfect 11-0 record into their final bye week as they get ready for a rivalry matchup to close out the season. Heisman Trophy contender Fernando Mendoza dazzled once again in Week 12, leading Indiana to victory over Wisconsin on Senior Day. He threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns as IU got the 31-7 win. Indiana moved to 11-0 for the first time in program history with the 31-7 win. Mendoza showed why he’s the current betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy with a 90.7 passing grade and a 95.8% adjusted completion rate in the victory. 3. Texas A&M (Record: 10-0)Week 13 Matchup: vs. Samford BulldogsIt looked like Texas A&M was going to suffer a surprise blowout in Week 12 as the Aggies trailed South Carolina at halftime. But the Aggies completely flipped the script in the second half en route to a historic comeback victory over the Gamecocks. A&M completed the greatest comeback in school history in its 31-30 win over South Carolina. The Aggies trailed by 27 points at halftime before outscoring the Gamecocks 28-0 in the second half. It was also a tale of two halves for quarterback Marcel Reed, who had a 36.0 PFF grade in the first half and a 91.6 grade in the second. 4. Georgia Bulldogs (Record: 9-1)Week 13 Matchup: vs. Charlotte 49ersGunner Stockton threw for four touchdowns and ran in one more to lead the charge for UGA, which picked up its sixth consecutive victory. It also marked the Bulldogs’ SEC finale as they head into their last two non-conference games with a 7-1 mark in conference play. Georgia dominated No. 10 Texas by a 35-10 final score. The Bulldogs’ defense missed only two tackles in the win and now leads the nation with a 92.5 tackling grade on the season. 5. Ole Miss Rebels (Record: 10-1)Week 13 Matchup: ByeFlorida gave Ole Miss all it could handle, but the Rebels survived with a 34-24 victory. Kewan Lacy ran all over the Gators to the tune of 224 yards and three touchdowns, with 138 yards after contact and 14 forced missed tackles. After the off week, Ole Miss will play its rivalry game against Mississippi State on Black Friday. In the meantime, though, all eyes are on Lane Kiffin’s future as rumors continue to swirl.6. Texas Tech (Record: 10-1)Week 13 Matchup: ByeSince a loss to Arizona State, Texas Tech has been firing on all cylinders en route to a four-game win streak. Just like that, the Red Raiders are now at No. 5 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Tech now has 10 wins in a season for the first time in 17 years following a 48-9 drubbing of UCF. David Bailey continued to show why he’s arguably the best pass-rusher in college football with six pressures and a 91.1 pass-rush grade. 7. Oregon Ducks (Record: 9-1)Week 13 Matchup: vs. No. 14 USC TrojansOregon annihilated Minnesota on Friday night by a 42-13 final score. Despite missing two of his top three wide receivers, quarterback Dante Moore still finished with an elite 91.9 passing grade in the win. The Ducks play in the biggest game of Week 13 as they host USC in what’s a massive showdown for both teams’ playoff hopes. Oregon will welcome USC for a game which has not only Big Ten implications, but could shake up the national picture, as well.8. BYU Cougars (Record: 9-1)Week 13 Matchup: at Cincinnati BearcatsBYU bounced back nicely from its loss to Texas Tech with a 44-13 win over TCU. True freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier generated a 91.4 passing grade in the victory while also running for 51 yards and a touchdown. Now the task at hand is very simple for BYU. A road win against Cincinnati on Saturday essentially clinches a ticket to Arlington. Even with a loss to UCF at home (highly unlikely), BYU would still get in under most tie breaking scenarios. The Cougars have not been nearly as dominant on the road as they have been at home.9. Oklahoma (Record: 8-2)Week 13 Matchup: vs. No. 23 Missouri TigersOklahoma secured a massive victory for its playoff hopes with a 23-21 win over fourth-ranked Alabama. Turnovers told the story in that game, as the Crimson Tide gave the ball away three times — while the Sooners didn’t cough it up once. Oklahoma scored 17 of its 23 points off those turnovers, including an 87-yard pick-six by Eli Bowen. The Sooners didn’t win the box score, but they finished with more points than Alabama and that's how they decide wins and losses. It appears they are now two home wins against shorthanded Missouri and LSU away from making the playoffs. 10. Alabama (Record: 8-2)Week 13 Matchup: vs. Eastern Illinois PanthersA home loss to Oklahoma dealt a blow to Alabama’s spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. Even with the loss to Oklahoma, Alabama remains in the top 10. The Crimson Tide still have wins over ranked teams like No. 4 Georgia, No. 13 Vanderbilt, No. 21 Tennessee and No. 23 Missouri to fall back on. Alabama must beat Eastern Illinois and Auburn to close out its season to make the playoff.
