Ben Burns & Ross "The Boss" Benjamin Football Combo: +300 Units Over the Last 3 Years!

Two of the sharpest football minds on the board. One package that covers everything from the first preseason kickoff through the final whistle of Championship season.

Ben Burns owns the NFL. Ross "The Boss" Benjamin owns College Football. Put them together, and you get one of the most productive football combos anywhere.

Here is what these two have done over the last three seasons.

Ben Burns, NFL

2025: +62.46 units, 63.6% (49-28-1), 21.2% ROI
2024: +63.19 units, 67.1% (57-28-0), 21.4% ROI
2023: +19.42 units, 56.4% (57-44-2), 6.0% ROI

Ross "The Boss" Benjamin, College Football

2025: +75.99 units, 63.1% (53-31-2), 27.0% ROI
2024: +44.99 units, 60.6% (63-41-2), 13.5% ROI
2023: +34.78 units, 57.9% (66-48-0), 9.3% ROI


Combined, that is +300.83 units over three seasons.

What does that look like in real money? A $100 bettor following both would be up $30,083. A $500 bettor would be up $150,415.

Your Combo Includes:
Preseason, regular season, postseason, Championship, and every 5% Best Bet from both Ben and Ross across NFL and College Football.

Lock in both guys for the entire football season and let two proven winners do the heavy lifting!

Get the Rest of the Year for $799 - Save $696!

One price locks in every sport your handicapper covers, all the way through December 31, 2026, 5% Best Bets included.

No monthly renewals. Pay once, and every play your handicapper releases from now through New Year's Eve is yours.

And the calendar is just getting started. Look at everything still ahead:

  • College Football opens August 29
  • NFL kicks off September 9
  • NHL returns September 29
  • NBA tips off October 20
  • College Basketball is back on November 1

You get every sport your handicapper covers, straight through the end of the year.

Paid month to month, the rest of this season runs $1,495. Lock it in now for $799 and save $696, about 47% off the pay-monthly cost.

Here's the catch. The price stays $799, but the season keeps shrinking. Every week you wait, that same $799 covers fewer games. The sooner you lock in, the more football, hoops, and hockey you get for your money.

(613) Toronto Tempo at (614) Las Vegas Aces: Spread
10:00pm EDT - Aug 28/2026

THE PLAY: Las Vegas Aces -15.5 (-110)

These teams recently faced each other at Toronto. The Aces won by "only" 10 points. A month earlier when they played (also at Toronto) the Aces won by 26. Clearly, there's a big talent gap between the teams. The Tempo aren't nearly as strong on the road and Friday's rematch will be played at Vegas. Well-rested and with no games on deck, due to the break for the women's World Cup, the Aces should easily take care of business. Expect them to deliver a comfortable blowout. Lay the points.
