MNF MAIN EVENT (GIANTS/RAMS)

Defending NFL Champion Ben Burns has gotten off to a terrible start to the NFL season. That won't stop him from firing with a strong play from the Giants/Rams game. Ben's long-term numbers speak for themselves. Payback starts here.

WagerTalk Specials

WEEKEND WARRIOR: EVERY FOOTBALL PLAY, SAT & SUN, JUST $49!

Two days. Two sports. One pass. Get every Saturday College Football and Sunday NFL play from your handicapper, and every 5% max football release is in there 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's already moved. The earlier you lock in, the more picks you catch at the right price.

This is the whole football weekend, wall to wall, for less than the price of a single max play elsewhere. Lock in your Weekend Warrior now and don't leave a snap or a number on the table.

Triple Play All-Access Baseball Pass – Includes 5% Best Bets – ONLY $49!

For a limited time, get every baseball play from your favorite handicapper for three full days — and any 5% Best Bets released — for just $49. That's only $16.33 per day for every premium baseball release your handicapper posts. You'll receive instant access the moment plays are released, ensuring you get the best possible number before the lines move.

Individually, these plays would cost well over $100, but the Triple Play All-Access Pass gives you three days of nonstop baseball action for less than half the price. As a bonus, if your handicapper releases any college or international selections during your access window — including College Baseball, KBO (Korea) or NPB (Japan) — those are included at no extra charge. Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

(397) Utah at (398) Iowa State: Spread
3:30pm EDT - Sep 26/2026

THE PLAY: Iowa State +9.5 (-115)

The Utes are a strong team and they're off to a hot start. However, I expect them to have their hands full on Saturday. While the Cyclones have a lot of new faces this season, they're playing well so far. They're off a confidence-building blowout win over Bowling Green and are 2-1. The lone loss was by just three points, at Iowa. These teams met at Utah in 2024 and the Cyclones won by a field goal. Don't be surprised if this one is also closer than expected.
