NCAA-B | Jan 26, 2026 Arizona vs BYU |
Arizona -114 at betonline |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||

Rating: 2 Units I’ll lean toward Arizona. You could make a case either way though; this should be a really fun game. The Wildcats put on a clinic against a pretty good West Virginia team this past weekend, shooting 52.5 percent from the field with 43.5 percent (10-of-23) from outside and a 42-27 rebounding edge. The 36-28 advantage on points in the paint and 20 team assists were nice, as were the low five turnovers. The winning streak continues, and Arizona has now scored at least 68 points in every game so far. As for BYU, they were able to fend off the Utes on Saturday thanks to 53.3 percent shooting, 42.1 percent (8-of-19) from outside and 82.6 percent (19-of-23) at the line. The Cougars had a 35-22 edge on the boards, a 48-18 advantage in the paint and just eight turnovers. BYU is a very nice 14-1 in their last 15 games, and the home win over Utah was a nice turnaround after falling at Texas Tech. The Cougars have tough games in the next pair (versus Arizona and at Kansas), and Houston will visit on February 7. It’ll be a tricky stretch. |

NHL | Jan 26, 2026 Islanders vs Flyers |
Flyers -116 at circa |
Lost $116.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders have more points and more wins than the Flyers but they have been unstable lately, as they are 3-5 in their last 8 games. The Islanders’ defense has allowed 4+ goals in three of their last four games. Consider that the Flyers have won eight of their last nine night games at Xfinity Mobile Arena against opponents on a losing streak. While the Islanders have lost each of their last four road games against Eastern Conference opponents. |
