2025 CFB Predictions, Picks: Back Penn State To Surpass Win Total
The college football season will be here before you know it. I usually dive into the deep end of the pigskin pool immediately after the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals are finito, so here we are. There aren't many moves I'm ready to make for Week 1 yet — I do love Over 54.5 total points in the Miami-Notre Dame — but I've done a good amount of work on regular season win totals and the power conference betting markets. Here are three future bets I like right now. Clemson to win ACC There aren't many higher on the Tigers than me. I'm far from a "Clemson guy," but Dabo Swinney's offense is loaded with skill and speed, and the Tigers have a first-round quarterback in Cade Klubnik. Sure, it's a younger group of skill position guys, but the talent is serious. And you already know there are four or five NFL players on defense. The ACC should be a two-horse race between Clemson and Miami, another team that's got gobs and gobs of talent. I currently have Clemson 4.5 points better on a neutral and that number might grow during the season. You'll have a nice middle shot if the Tigers are better than the market believes, and they are touchdown favorites or so in the ACC title game. PICK: Clemson (+120) to win ACC Penn State Over 10.5 wins A few people that I respect believe this is the most complete team James Franklin has ever had in Happy Valley. Obviously, that phrase gets overused in sports, but it's pretty difficult to disagree in this specific situation. The defense could be better than last year's and Penn State added a couple of legit receivers from the portal to go along with its returning quarterback Drew Allar, top two running backs and offensive coordinator. Stability is not an issue. One bettor flashed me a $5,000 ticket on Penn State to win the whole enchilada at 9/1. It'll pay $45,000 if it comes home. I certainly respect the play but just can't get there. My issue is that Franklin seems to find a way to flub a major decision in the biggest games. It's cruel, but fair. I'm pumping the brakes on a Big Ten title or national championship, believing it's a better bet to back the Nittany Lions to reach 11 wins. PICK: Penn State (+120) Over 10.5 wins Notre Dame Under 10.5 wins My "Bet Sweats" co-host Joe Ostrowski and I bet Notre Dame to win the national title at 10-1 a week before the College Football Playoff. We rode the wave over Indiana, Georgia and Penn State only to see the Irish get shoved against Ohio State in the championship game. Right size, wrong shape. The Irish are likely handing the keys on offense to freshman quarterback CJ Carr, a kid who is decidedly less experienced than transfers Sam Hartman and Riley Leonard were the last two seasons. And if Carr doesn't win the job, sophomore Kenny Minchey doesn't have much seasoning either. Notre Dame will run the ball a ton and their defense will carry the load for most games, but I can't ignore the quarterback youth or the schedule. And games against Miami, Texas A&M, Arkansas and USC are no walks in the park.

Connor McDavid's next move in doubt as wife Lauren Kyle's 2026 Olympic venture takes over Edmonton
Lauren Kyle's rise may anchor McDavid in Edmonton (Image via: Getty Images) Ten years after becoming the face of the Oilers, Connor McDavid's future in Edmonton is uncertain. As contract talks stall, his wife Lauren Kyle is making major business moves including a high-profile Olympic partnership. Could her growing empire rooted in Edmonton influence the NHL superstar's next chapter? Lauren Kyle's Olympic breakthrough adds new twist to McDavid's future As McDavid's $12.5 million AAV contract nears its July 2026 expiration, the hockey world is watching. Despite leading the Oilers to consecutive Stanley Cup Finals, McDavid has yet to commit to an extension—raising questions about whether he'll stay or move on. While fans speculate, Lauren Kyle is thriving in Edmonton. The interior designer and entrepreneur recently opened Trove Living, a luxury furniture and design store housed in the historic Canada Permanent building. It's also the headquarters of her design firm, Kyle & Co. More impressively, Kyle's fashion label, Sports Club Atelier, has landed a deal with Team Canada for the 2026 Winter Olympics. What began as custom playoff jackets for Oilers' WAGs is now a full-scale fashion line that will roll out Olympic merchandise in major retailers. 'I don't see it being just NHL or just hockey,' Kyle told Forbes. 'There's a lot of opportunity with the brand.' Lauren's growing presence in Edmonton is turning heads—not just for its business momentum, but for what it might mean off the ice. As she establishes deeper roots in the city, her success could quietly influence where Connor McDavid chooses to spend the next chapter of his NHL career. 'Winning is the most important thing. If I feel there's a good window to win here over and over again, then signing is no problem' he said. 'I still need to do what's best for me and my family, and that's who I have to take care of first.'

'It's something that I wanna give him': Corey Perry plays for his son, Griffin, and wants to give him a Stanley Cup
(Image via Getty Images: Corey Perry with his son, Griffin) Ice hockey has been in the lives of many NHL families for generations and generations to come. Grandfathers played. Fathers are playing. And in the future, their sons will play. The same story resonates with 40-year-old Corey Perry and his 7-year-old son, Griffin. Having lost 5 Stanley Cups in 6 years, Perry's only dream is to give his son a Stanley Cup. Perry said in an early June media interview, 'This is why I'm still playing, too - it is to have him feel, have an opportunity to feel and touch a Stanley Cup. It's something that I wanna give him.' Corey Perry says his son, Griffin, expects him to be in the Stanley Cup Finals The media asked Corey Perry about his son, Griffin, expecting his father to always be in the Stanley Cup Finals. The 2024 NHL season was Perry's fifth Stanley Cup Final appearance. Perry shared, 'He(Griffin)'s seven. He'll be eight in August. He's been around. He's seen it, but being three years old, I'm not sure you understand it - (Griffin nodded a no. The reporters burst into laughter).' Perry continued, 'He kind of expects it. But you know, to have him here, he knows everybody in the league, he knows what positions they play, who's the leading scorer - you know, all the things 'cause he's watching the highlights every single morning and playing mini-sticks at the same time before school. This is why I'm still playing, too - it is to have him feel - have an opportunity to feel and touch a Stanley Cup. It's something that I wanna give him.

Evander Kane traded to hometown Canucks after Stanley Cup run with Oilers
Evander Kane is heading to his hometown team. The Vancouver native was traded to the Canucks from the Oilers on Wednesday morning, he announced on social media. 'As my time with the @EdmontonOilers has now come to a close, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the entire organization, my teammates, and the incredible community of Edmonton,' Kane wrote in a post across his social media pages. 3 Evander Kane celebrates his goal in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 6. Perry Nelson-Imagn Images '… With that said, I'm incredibly excited for the next chapter of my career as I join the @Canucks. It's an honor to become part of an organization and team I grew up watching as a kid.' Edmonton will receive a 2025 fourth-rounder in return from the Canucks, who will pick up the $5.125 million cap hit for their newest addition, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun. 3 Evander Kane is coming off a Stanley Cup Finals loss to the Panthers. NHLI via Getty Images Kane scored six goals for Edmonton this postseason, playing a key role throughout the Oilers' second consecutive Stanley Cup Finals run — which resulted in another loss to the Panthers — after missing all of the regular season following multiple surgeries. He has built an identity as both a talented goal-scorer and an imposing physical presence on the ice at 6-foot-2, 218 pounds. LeBrun reported Wednesday that three teams were interested in acquiring Kane, but his hometown Canucks were the preference. Kane is entering his 16th season in the NHL, and Vancouver will be his sixth team. The left winger will bring scoring pedigree to the Canucks, who missed the playoffs this season, but he'll also need to limit his penalty minutes, which has been an issue throughout his career. Kane led the NHL in penalty minutes in 2018-19 (153) and 2019-20 (122), and he totaled a brutal 30 penalty minutes in the Stanley Cup Final. 3 Evander Kane and the referees are quite familiar. Getty Images In his most recent full regular season with Edmonton in 2023-24, Kane tallied 24 goals and 20 assists with 85 penalty minutes.
