Weekend Warrior: Every CFB & NFL Play Your Handicapper Releases For Sat & Sun. Just $49!

Two days. Two sports. One pass. Pick your handicapper and get every College Football play they release on Saturday, and every NFL play they release on Sunday in one package. Any 5% max football releases are included too, no upcharge. Retail runs $78. You’re in for $49!

Here’s the edge most people miss: plays go out the moment they’re released. Buy early in the week, and you get every play in real time, at the number your handicapper actually bet. Wait until the weekend, and you risk buying in after the line has already moved. The earlier you lock in, the more plays you catch at the right price.

This is your handicapper’s full football weekend for less than the price of a single max play elsewhere. Lock in your Weekend Warrior now and don’t leave a play or a number on the table!

(267) Miami Dolphins at (268) Indianapolis Colts: Total
1:00pm EST - Nov 15/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 42.5 (-110)

In a matchup of two teams already essentially playing out the string, there is little reason to be conservative. The Colts are allowing 27.7 ppg. The Dolphins are allowing 28.6 ppg. Indianapolis has allowed 26 or more points in four of its last five games and has seen five of its past six games produce a minimum of 26 points. Go with the over.

(203) Stanford at (204) Virginia Tech: Spread
3:30pm EST - Nov 14/2026

THE PLAY: Stanford +16.5 (-102)

I played against Virginia Tech last week. The Hokies got hammered 51-28 at SMU. The Mustangs had a 569 to 417 edge in yards. Off that big loss and with Miami (followed by instate rival Virginia) on deck, I feel that the Hokies may have some trouble getting up for Stanford. The Cardinal have been known to pull off some big upsets. Don't be surprised when they give their hosts all they can handle.

(39) Philadelphia Flyers at (40) Vancouver Canucks: Moneyline
9:37pm EST - Nov 9/2026

THE PLAY: Vancouver Canucks 112

Here's a chance for the struggling Canucks to earn a rare victory. While Vancouver has the worst record in the NHL, the Flyers have the worst record in the Eastern Conference. Vancouver is rested and playing at home. The Flyers, 1-6-1 on the road entering Sunday's game at Calgary, are playing their second game in two days. They're already 0-3 in that situation this season. Don't be surprised when the Canucks pull off the upset.
