Well… that was a crazy weekend. The divisional round of the NFL playoffs is over, and the conference championship games are officially set. In the AFC, you’ve got the New England Patriots heading to Denver to take on a Bo Nix–less Broncos team after Nix broke his ankle in the final moments of their win over Buffalo. But let’s be honest. All eyes are on the NFC. Because this is the matchup we all expected. This is the matchup NFL fans deserve. The Los Angeles Rams vs. the Seat

Another year, another year of playoff heartbreak for the Buffalo Bills and their fans. The Bills lost 33–30 in overtime to the Denver Broncos on the road in the divisional round, and while officiating was mentioned afterward, and yes, the refs didn’t exactly help, the Bills should’ve never been in a position to let the stripes determine their fate to begin with. Josh Allen, their franchise quarterback, turned the ball over four times and the team turned it over five times on

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 17th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NFL: Buffalo Bills Moneyline @ Denver Broncos (-105)  I originally thought Denver could make a Super Bowl run, but that was before realizing they’d be running into Josh Allen. Bo Nix has struggled against winning teams, and Buffalo has owned this matchup recently, including a 31–7 postseason win last year. Getting Josh Allen a

The Silcoff Selections are here for Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL Season! Below are my records for my straight up and against the spread picks for the season thus far. Records Last Week: Straight Up: 3-3 Against The Spread: 2-4 Playoff Records: Straight Up: 3-3 Against The Spread: 2-4 Regular Season Records: Straight Up: 167-104-1 Against The Spread: 132-134-6 Saturday Games: AFC: (6) Buffalo Bills @ (1) Denver Broncos I Line: Broncos -1.5 Just a couple of weeks ago, if yo

It all comes down to tomorrow night. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I felt this nervous, excited, anxious, and scared about a sporting event all at once. Tomorrow, the Seattle Seahawks play their first playoff game of the year, hosting the San Francisco 49ers in a divisional-round matchup at Lumen Field. This isn’t just any playoff game. It’s a division rivalry game. And it’s one where the Seahawks enter as the number one seed in the NFC. They are currently the Las

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 16th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NHL: Los Angeles Kings Moneyline (-150) vs Anaheim Ducks Anaheim’s season has gone off the rails after a strong start, and they come into this one shorthanded without top scorer Leo Carlsson, while Chris Kreider is also questionable. The Kings have dominated this matchup, winning eight of the last ten against the Ducks. On hom

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 14th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NHL: Philadelphia Flyers @ Buffalo Sabres over 6 Total Goals (-125) The over has hit in 7 of the last 10 meetings between these teams and pushed twice. That trend includes both matchups this season, which finished with 7 and 8 total goals respectively. With how these two tend to play against each other, I expect the offense to

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 13th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NHL: Vancouver Canucks @ Ottawa Senators over 6 Total Goals (-125) The over has hit in eight of the last ten meetings between these two teams, and I like it to continue tonight. Both Ottawa and Vancouver are struggling defensively right now, and neither team inspires much confidence in net. The Senators’ goaltending situation

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 12th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers Team Total Over 16.5 Points (-140) vs Houston Texans Yes, Houston has one of the best defenses in the NFL, but lately we’ve seen they can still give up big plays in the right spots. Outside of the Week 17 game against Cleveland, Aaron Rodgers has been playing solid football, and getting DK Metcalf back

The Los Angeles Chargers’ 2025 season came to an end on Sunday night with a 16–3 road loss to the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. This was a game that was fairly ugly and did not have many explosive offense plays or highlight-reel moments. It was a defensive struggle for most of the night, where points were hard to come by and both teams struggled to move the ball consistently. For New England, Drake Maye did not have a great game in his playo

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 10th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NFL: Carolina Panthers Team Total Over 16.5 Points (-135) vs Los Angeles Rams Carolina already showed they can move the ball against the Rams earlier this season, scoring 31 points in that matchup. While many won’t give the Panthers much of a chance here, the Rams’ secondary is beatable and presents opportunities to put points

The Silcoff Selections are here for Wildcard Weekend of the 2025 NFL Season! Below are my records for my straight up and against the spread picks for the season thus far. Records Last Week: Straight Up: 9-7 Against The Spread: 11-5 Season Records: Straight Up: 167-104-1 Against The Spread: 132-134-6 Saturday Games: NFC: (5) Los Angeles Rams @ (4) Carolina Panthers I Line: Rams -10.5 The Rams are clearly the better team here. It’s worth noting that Carolina did beat them earli

The NFL playoffs officially kick off tomorrow afternoon, and it’s been a weird season. We don’t have players like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Lamar Jackson in the postseason this year. All of them and their teams are not in the playoffs, and because of that, this playoff field has never been more wide open. With that said, I think this is going to be a great next month of football. We better cherish it, because the season is almost done. Below are my round-by-round predic

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 9th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NBA: New Orleans Pelicans Moneyline (-140) @ Washington Wizards It might not be the best game on the schedule, but this is a spot I like. New Orleans has dominated this matchup in recent meetings winning seven of the last 10 games, and Washington is shorthanded after moving multiple players in the Trae Young deal and not having

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 8th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NBA: Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz Under 241.5 Points This matchup has consistently leaned under, with the total staying below the number in seven of the last ten meetings between these teams. Both Dallas and Utah have shown issues scoring the ball, which makes it hard to justify a number this high. With the Mavericks also playi

The Atlanta Hawks just traded Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in a package for C.J. McCollum and Corey Kispert, and I’ve got to say. And moments removed from the deal going down, I genuinely think this is the most useless and non–league-changing All-Star calibre player trade in recent NBA history involving a player that we've seen take a team on a deep playoff run. From the Hawks’ perspective, I get it because it's clear they want to build around Jalen Johnson, and Young

The College Football Playoff national semifinals are set to kick off tomorrow, so I figured there is no better time to write about the matchup I feel like we need to see in the National Championship Game. Thursday night, the Miami Hurricanes will take on Ole Miss Rebels, while the Oregon Ducks face the Indiana Hoosiers on Friday. Each of these programs has something compelling about them, and all deserve respect for what they've done so far this season. Indiana’s rise, has be

To Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore... Stay at Eugene next year. Based on all current reports, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is expected to be selected first overall by the Las Vegas Raiders in this spring's NFL Draft. That situation, in itself, is far from ideal. However, the Raiders are at least undergoing change. They are bringing in a new head coach, and there are reasons to believe in the infrastructure forming there. John

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 7th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NBA: Orlando Magic Moneyline (-140) @ Brooklyn Nets I should probably stop betting on Orlando, but this sets up as a solid rebound spot. The Magic are coming off a bad loss to the Wizards last night and should come out with urgency. Against a Nets team they’ve beaten seven times in their last ten meetings, I’ll go back to Orlan

The Silcoff Selections are here for January 6th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today. NBA: Orlando Magic -7.5 @ Washington Wizards (-110) There aren’t many spots where you get to fade Washington while laying single digits, and this is one of them. Orlando has completely dominated this matchup, winning the last ten meetings and covering in eight of those games. Against a Wizards team that continues to struggle, I
