Super Early Look at Super Bowl Player Props for SB60

by Vegas Writer

Monday, Jan 26, 2026

With Super Bowl 60 set for Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8, there are incredible storylines and immediate thoughts that emerge with an 11-year-old rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.As we get closer to kickoff, I will have several breakdowns to talk about.But after watching the Patriots (17-3) beat the Denver Broncos 10-7 on Sunday in the AFC championship game to advance to their 12th Super Bowl, and seeing the Seahawks escape with a 31-27 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC title game, I do think there are player props you may want to watch for when the massive list emerges.Here are my first four looks at SB60 with Player Props (per early numbers at DraftKings):Drake Maye over rushing yardsI expect the Seahawks to apply plenty of pressure to the young quarterback on every dropback, forcing him to put his legs to work. Maye just rushed for 65 yards against the Denver Broncos, the second time he rushed for 65 or more yards this postseason. Maye averaged 26.5 yards rushing during the regular season and is scrambling for 47.0 in the postseason. There are favorable numbers of 36+ and 40+ for Maye's rushing tally, so I'm definitely jumping in early.Rhamondre Stevenson anytime TD scorerIf there is one person who put his time in with the Patriots, it's Stevenson, now in his fifth season. Stevenson led team in the AFC Divisional round with 70 yards rushing, and again in the AFC Championship with 71 yards on the ground. He'll be looking for his fourth straight game with 70 or more scrimmage yards. Now, considering he had a career-high nine scrimmage TD during the regular season and hasn't scored in the playoffs, I like him to punch one during the Super Bowl. DKS is offering a respectable plus price as an anytime TD scorer, and I'd advise you to jump on that now.Kenneth Walker over rushing yardsAfter turning in 145 scrimmage yards (116 rushing, 29 receiving) and 3 rushing TDs in the NFC Divisional round, Walker answered the bell with 111 scrimmage yards (62 rushing, 49 receiving) in the NFC title game against the Rams. He's stepped up splendidly for the Seahawks, averaging 60.4 yards rushing during the regular season and 89 in the postseason. He's rushed for 4.7 yards per attempt in the playoffs, and we should be looking at a favorable number as long as the books don't get greedy. Right now at DraftKings, I highly recommend getting the plus price for over 80 yards.Sam Darnold under passing yardsOver and over, all I've heard is how "I don't know if we can trust Sam Darnold." Yet here we are set for SB60, and the Minnesota Vikings' cast-off has turned into a gem for the Seahawks. That all being said, I think Seattle has benefited because Darnold doesn't play above himself, has been methodical and doesn't force anything. He has the resources to lean on a balanced offense. And while he may have ranked fifth in the league with 4,048 yards passing during the regular season, that equated to 238.1 yards per game. That number has dipped slightly to 235 per game in the postseason. You can find under 240 yards at DKS for a reasonable price right now.

NHL Off the Post: January 26th

by Sean Murphy

Monday, Jan 26, 2026

With the Olympic break fast approaching, it's a good time to take stock of some news and notes from around the NHL. Here's a look at five teams to keep an eye on as we head into February.Crowning momentsThe Los Angeles Kings are in the thick of the playoff hunt in the Western Conference but it's been a grind to be sure. Close losses have been the story as the Kings have piled up 12 overtime or shootout defeats on the campaign. The good news is, they've shown signs of turning things around as they enter Monday's action off consecutive one-goal victories over the Rangers and Blues. Those wins are fine but the schedule toughens up this week as their long road trip continues with games against surging opponents in the Blue Jackets, Red Wings and Sabres before closing the jaunt against the Flyers and Hurricanes. Los Angeles will play just one home game between now and the Olympic break and that comes on February 4th against Seattle.Help wantedYou have to figure the Islanders will be 'buyers' leading up to the trade deadline as they sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division but with a number of teams breathing down their neck in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Generating offense has been an issue for the Isles as they've produced just 2.9 goals per game on the season including 2.7 away from home. Lately, their lack of scoring punch has been even more magnified as they've produced two goals or less in four of their last five contests, winning just twice over that stretch. Ilya Sorokin is a world class goaltender but he can only be asked to shoulder so much of the load. Of note, the Isles draw divisional matchups in six of seven games leading up to the Olympic break.Lightning strikeI'm not sure the Lightning are getting the attention they deserve for their current run. They've reeled off 14 wins over their last 16 games, despite missing a number of key contributors. Victor Hedman and Brayden Point are among those currently sidelined but the fact that they continue to pile up victories speaks to the depth that this team has built. Beginning on Monday against Utah, Tampa Bay will play six straight home games that will carry it through the Olympic break. That includes a 'Stadium Series' affair against Boston on February 1st. The Bolts are a modest 13-9 on home ice this season where they've outscored opponents by an average margin of 0.3 goals.Quack attackAnaheim will have its seven-game winning streak tested in a difficult back-to-back spot in Edmonton on Monday. The Ducks struggled mightily to keep the puck out of their net during an extended slide in December and early January but a renewed defensive focus has turned the tide. They've held all seven opponents to three goals or less and five of them to two or fewer over the course of their current winning streak. Unfortunately, the road hasn't been kind to Anaheim as it enters Monday's clash with the Oilers sporting a 13-13-2 record away from home, where it has been outscored by 0.6 goals on average (and has allowed 3.7 goals per contest).Everything must go?The bottom has fallen out for the Rangers as they've mustered just six wins going all the way back to December 6th. An injury to goaltender Igor Shesterkin has left them completely flat-footed as they enter Monday's matchup with the Bruins having allowed a whopping 42 goals over their last eight contests, not coincidentally since the all-world net-minder went down. There's a glimmer of hope as the Blueshirts will have an opportunity to gain ground with each of their next eight games coming against Metropolitan Division opponents. With that being said, they currently sit in last place in the Eastern Conference, 11 points back of the Islanders who hold down the final playoff spot in the Metro. They'll play a home-and-home set with the Isles on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Brasileirão Série A Prop Futures (2026 Season)

by Amedeus Mastrangelo

Saturday, Jan 24, 2026

The 2026 season for the Brasileirao Serie A is set to start on Wednesday, January 28. Flamengo is the defending champion from last season and the league has been very competitive in recent years with 3 different champions over the last 3 seasons. There were also 4 teams promoted to Serie A last season and 2 of those clubs managed to stay up for this season as well. There is plenty of value to be found in other areas of the league with different markets, so with the start of the new season just around the corner now, it is time to see where there is value in some other markets.  To Finish Top 4 Cruzeiro -120: Cruzeiro was promoted to Serie A for the 2023 season and they have been a very good team in the league since being promoted. They have managed to stay up for 3 straight seasons, and they have improved in the league table each year as well. They have finished higher and higher in the table each season, and now they are coming off of a season which they finished in 3rd place, 9 points behind the title winners. They have been performing well in every competition they have played in, and they have been spending a lot of money to keep the team competing in the league at a high level. Cruzeiro once again has a lot of quality and depth in their squad this year and they are expected to be a dominant club in the league. They have the potential to compete for the title this season with the quality they have as well, so Cruzeiro should be able to place themselves in the top 4 again this season as they will be one of the better teams in the league. There is value in Cruzeiro at this price to finish in the top 4 this season.  Sao Paulo +600: Sao Paulo is coming into this season off of a year where they finished in 8th place in the league. They have been a middle of the table team over the last few years and do not have any top 4 finishes in that span, but they have still been a very consistent club in the league. They are always in that 6-12 range, and they have also played in Copa Libertadores the last 3 straight seasons, finding ways to qualify each year. They will not be in Copa Libertadores this season though, just missing the playoff spots, so they will be competing in Copa Sudamericana instead. Copa Libertadores is always a competition they are highly focused on, but they are not going to put that same energy into Copa Sudamericana as the lesser competition and they will likely turn their focus back to the league this season for a higher finish. The competition they will be facing in Copa Sudamericana will not be as strong as well, so that will help them with the fatigue of the season. Sao Paulo is also a big club in Brasil with money to spend so they will make big moves in the summer transfer window if they are in a position to compete for the title. There is some good value in Sao Paulo at this price to finish in the top 4 this season.  To Finish Top 6 Botafogo -106: Botafogo is coming into this season off of a year in which they finished in 6th place in the league. They have been a contender in the Brasileirao as well as Copa Libertadores over the last few years and will likely take a step back this year due to the quality they have lost, but they have still been a very consistent team in the league and they are not going to fall off that much. They might not be competing for the title this season, but they have finished in the top 6 for the last 3 straight seasons, including winning the Brasileirao Title just 2 years ago, and they are still going to be competing for those top spots in the league. Other than Flamengo and Palmeiras, it is tough to find a more consistent team in the league over the last 3 seasons, and Botafogo is still a very big club with money to spend so they are going to keep themselves competitive and will make big moves in the summer transfer window as well. Botafogo may not have the quality to compete for a title this year, but they are still one of the better teams in the league and they have a very good chance of being a top 6 team by the end of the season. There is value in Botafogo at this price to finish in the top 6 this season.  Corinthians +225: Corinthians is coming into this season off of a year in which they finished in 13th place in the league. They are one of the biggest clubs in all of Brasil, but recently they have fallen on some hard times. They have been very inconsistent over the last few seasons as they have been alternating between top 7 finishes and top 13 finishes in the league, but the last time they finished this low in the table, they followed up with a much better year. They struggled in the Brasileirao as well as Copa Sudamericana last season, but they were starting to catch fire near the end of the season and even ended the year with the Copa do Brasil. They are going to spend money to improve this team this year and they are not going to have a big focus on Copa Sudamericana either, trying to get themselves back to the top of the table. They have already made some good moves to improve the squad this season as well, so Corinthians is in line to take a big step this year. There is good value in Corinthians at this price to finish in the top 6 this season.  Sao Paulo +275: Sao Paulo was mentioned earlier as a possible team to finish in the top 4 this season so for all of the same reasons, they have some value at this price to finish in the top 6 this season.  To Be Relegated Remo +110: Remo is coming into this season as a newly promoted side after finishing in 4th place in Serie B last season. They just slipped into the final promotion spot 1 point ahead of the 5th place team, but this is also going to be Remo’s 1st ever season in Serie A. They have never made it to this level before and even with the money they have been spending to improve the team, this is still going to be a big step for them and they will not be ready for it. There has been a pattern in the Brasileirao over the last few seasons where the teams that finished 3rd and 4th in Serie B get sent right back down after 1 season while the teams that finish in the top 2 of Serie B manage to stay up at least a year. Remo was the worst team out of the 4 being promoted this season and they do not have the quality to compete with the bigger clubs. There is a very good chance that they will not be able to stay up this season as they are going to struggle in their 1st ever Serie A season. There is some good value in Remo at this price to be relegated this season.  Vitoria +175: Vitoria is coming into this season off of a year in which they finished in 15th place in the league. This is only their 3rd straight season in Serie A since being promoted for the 2024 season and they took a big step back last year. They managed to finish in 11th place in their 1st season up, but now they are coming off of a 15th place finish and were only 2 points above the relegation zone. They had the 3rd worst attack in the league last season with 35 goals scored in their 38 matches and they had the 3rd worst goal differential as well. They have been able to stay up for the last 2 years, but with last season’s relegation, Vitoria is now one of the weakest clubs in the league and they did have a stretch from 2018-2024 where they were not in the league at all. Vitoria’s time in Serie A has come to an end and they will find themselves near the bottom of the table this season. There is good value in Vitoria at this price to be relegated.  Vasco da Gama +275: Vasco da Gama is coming into this season off of a year in which they finished in 14th place in the table. They are one of the bigger clubs in Brasil, but they have been up and down between Serie A and Serie B over the last decade. They were last promoted for the 2023 season and this will be their 4th straight season in the league, but they have been teetering on the relegation line in that span. They took a big step back last season from their top 10 finish the year prior, and they have finished in the bottom 6 of the league in 2 of the last 3 seasons. Their goal differential was not one of the worst in the league at -5, but they did have the 3rd worst defense in the league as they allowed 60 goals in their 38 matches. Vasco da Gama is not a team that has been competing for trophies over the last few seasons and with the addition of Coritiba and Athletico PR to the league, Vasco is going to have a much tougher time keeping themselves afloat this season. There is some good value in Vasco da Gama at this price to be relegated this season.  To Finish Bottom Remo +700: Remo is coming into this season as a newly promoted side after finishing in 4th place of Serie B last season. They were not a dominant team in that league though, finishing 6 points behind the 1st place team and only being 1 point ahead of the 5th place team as well. This is also going to be their 1st ever season playing in Serie A so there is going to be a big step for them to take here and they may not be able to adjust. The Brasileirao has also had a pattern the last few seasons where the top 2 teams from Serie B stay up, but the 3rd and 4th place teams that were promoted get sent back down. Remo falls into this pattern and is also the weakest team of the group being promoted this season. Remo is going to struggle a lot more than the other clubs being promoted as they all have experience playing in Serie A while Remo does not, and they are at a big disadvantage with their quality compared to the rest of the league as well. There is some very good value in Remo at this price to finish at the bottom of the table this season.

ASA's NBA Mid-Season Win Total Projection

by ASA, Inc.

Thursday, Jan 22, 2026

Warriors Win Total: Value in the Under 43.5 By ASA, Inc. – Jan 22nd 2026 The Golden State Warriors opened the 2025-26 season with a 47.5-win futures line, but after sitting at 25-20 through 45 games, the number has dropped to 43.5 on FanDuel—and we're investing on the under. The biggest blow came with Jimmy Butler's season-ending injury. Ranking 8th in PER, Butler was averaging 20 PPG, 5.6 RPG, and 4.9 APG as a two-way anchor. His loss creates a massive void in scoring, playmaking, and defense that the bench can't fill. Young players like Podziemski and Moody aren't ready for heavy minutes against top Western foes, dropping the offense from elite to average. Trade help looks unlikely. The Warriors want to move Jonathan Kuminga, but demand is low—teams see him as high-upside, not win-now. Stuck with the current roster, their playoff odds sit at just 17% for the 8th seed in a loaded West. The remaining schedule doesn't help: 7th-hardest in the league, with 20 of 37 games on the road. Road struggles have been real all season (8-13 SU), and tough stretches against the Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, and Suns loom large. Steph Curry remains a superstar, but at 37, he can't carry this team every night. Draymond Green is a shell of his former self—lowest rebounding and assists since 2013-14—exposing the frontcourt. They need 19 wins in 37 games (.514 pace) to hit 44. Given the injury, brutal slate, and aging core, that's optimistic. Historical data shows teams losing a top-8 PER player mid-season drop 5-7 wins on average. Bet the under 43.5 at FanDuel before the line moves.
