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.

THE PLAY: Total Over 60.5 (-112)
The Lions have seen five of their last six games, including each of their past three, finish below the total. That should change against the Redblacks. The Lions have scored 27, 30 and 30 their past three games but those have been against better defenses than Ottawa. The Redblacks are allowing 36.8 ppg and 453.3 ypg. Over their past three games, the Redblacks are allowing an average of more than 40 ppg. Both of last season's h2h games finished above the total with scores of 65 and 67 points. Six of the past seven meetings have gone over the number with four of the past five producing greater than 60 points. Expect another shootout.
THE PLAY: F5 Total Under 4.5 (-154) Sandy Alcantara (RHP), Cade Cavalli (RHP) Must Start
Both these starters are in excellent form. Alcantara delivered another gem last time out. In seven innings, he allowed one run and struck out six. Alcantara has now gone at least six complete innings in 10 straight starts, seven or more innings in eight of those. He allowed three runs or less in nine of those 10 starts, including each of the past six. He has a sparkling 1.13 ERA in those six games. Cavalli has been every bit as good, if not better. Off three straight gems, he's now 6-1 with a 1.84 ERA his past seven starts. Each of his past nine starts has been quality. Early runs should be few and far between.
