    Biggest College Football Games of 2026: Best Bets & Early Lines | Presented by FanDuel
    Jun 26 2026
    The biggest college football games of the 2026 season are already on the board, and Brad Powers and Joey Knish are breaking down the early betting lines from FanDuel. From Ohio State vs. Texas and Michigan vs. Oklahoma to Georgia vs. Alabama, Notre Dame vs. Miami, LSU vs. Ole Miss, and the annual showdown between Ohio State and Michigan, the guys discuss which numbers stand out, where the betting value could develop, and which games they're willing to bet months before kickoff. Is Texas the right favorite against Ohio State? Can Michigan bounce back against Oklahoma? Is Georgia undervalued against Alabama? And which early line offers the best value on the entire board? Plus, Brad and Joey reveal their favorite bets, discuss how they expect these numbers to move throughout the offseason, and explain the importance of betting Game of the Year markets before the rest of the market catches up. 🔵 New to FanDuel Sportsbook?

  • The 2027 QB Class Could Change NFL Draft History | Presented by FanDuel

    The 2027 QB Class Could Change NFL Draft History | Presented by FanDuel
    Jun 16 2026
    The 2027 quarterback class is already generating massive hype, but could it actually become the greatest QB class in NFL Draft history? Brad Powers and Joey Knish break down the top quarterback prospects expected to headline the 2027 NFL Draft, including Arch Manning, CJ Carr, Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, LaNorris Sellers, CJ Bailey, Nico Iamaleava, Fernando Mendoza, Josh Hoover and more. Would Arch Manning really be the No. 1 overall pick if the draft happened today? Is CJ Carr the safest quarterback prospect in college football? Could Dante Moore ultimately become the best NFL quarterback from this class? The guys rank their top quarterback prospects, debate where the consensus is getting certain players wrong, and make bold predictions about how many quarterbacks could be selected in the first round and first three rounds of the NFL Draft. They also discuss elite non-quarterback prospects like Jeremiah Smith, Leonard Moore and Dylan Stewart, and whether the 2027 NFL Draft could become one of the most talented draft classes in recent memory. Will this quarterback group live up to the hype, or are expectations already getting out of control? 🔵 New to FanDuel Sportsbook?

  • Brenadan Sorsby & Texas Tech Beats the House (And the NCAA) | Presented by FanDuel

    Brenadan Sorsby & Texas Tech Beats the House (And the NCAA) | Presented by FanDuel
    Jun 8 2026
    Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA — and he's playing in 2026. Powers and Knish break down the ruling, what it means for NCAA enforcement, and whether this sets a precedent that blows the whole system open. Sorsby admitted to placing roughly $90,000 in bets over four years, including wagers on his own Indiana team, and was declared permanently ineligible — until a Texas judge stepped in and handed him a two-game suspension instead. We get into the legal angles, the gambling addiction framing, the role of superstar attorney Jeffrey Kessler, and what happens next as the NCAA eyes an appeal. Is the NCAA's enforcement model broken beyond repair? Hit the Books. 🔵 New to FanDuel Sportsbook? New customers can bet 5 & get 150 if your bet wins.
