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.

(603) Seattle Storm at (604) New York Liberty: Spread
7:00pm EDT - Aug 5/2026

THE PLAY: Seattle Storm +9.5 (-106)

I won with the Liberty when these teams faced each other on Monday. The Storm hung around but NY ultimately pulled away for a 12-point win. However, it's not always easy to blow a team out in back-to-back games and the Storm have been quite competitive over the past month. Also, the Liberty are on a 7-1 run and their next game comes against Vegas, the defending champions and the team which handed them that lone loss. So, there could be a look-ahead factor. Even factoring in Monday, NY is 1-9 ATS its past 10 while Seattle is 8-2 ATS its past 10. With both teams involved in a lot of close games, let's grab the generous points with the revenge minded visitors. *good at +8 and up

(681) Ottawa Redblacks at (682) Saskatchewan Roughriders: Spread
9:00pm EDT - Aug 7/2026

THE PLAY: Saskatchewan Roughriders -7.5 (-110)

The Redblacks (0-7) are still searching for their first win. This is not the place to get it. The Riders (5-2) won at Edmonton last game, avenging a home loss from the previous week. Now, they can potentially be in first place in the West by the end of the week. For that to happen, they need to beat Ottawa and also need the Elks to lose at Montreal. They should hold up their part of the bargain. The Redblacks are getting outscored by an average of 11.6 points per game. They lost their last road game by 23. No letdown here. Riders take advantage of the favorable matchup and pull away for a double-digit victory.
