Sports Corner Daily’s 👀 Results from 12/17/2024
Winners - 2
Losers - 3
Sports Corner Daily missed the mark a little last night, going 2-3 on our selections overall. In some College Basketball action, Florida and North Carolina had a back and forth game that went down to the wire. Florida jumped out to a sizable lead in the first half but the Tar Heels battled back and took the lead in the second half. Unfortunately Florida made some late free throws that extended the lead and blew our UNC +3.5 pick.
Over in College Football last night we had the Miami Beach Bowl between West Virginia and Memphis. It was a high scoring game and Memphis came through for us in the end, winning 42-37 and hitting our -4.5 pick. Memphis scored 21 points in the second quarter to fuel the win and finished the season at an impressive 11-2 mark.
On the ice last night, the Devils and Blues battled it out with the Devils coming away with a 4-1 win. It was all Devils early as they mounted a 3-0 lead early in the 3rd period. The Devils scored an empty net goal late as well which put our under 5.5 goals pick in jeopardy but thankfully that was the last of the scoring.
Our experts have three more selections lined up for today, including one with an early 11 a.m. tipoff. Be sure to check it out quickly if you want to get in on the action!

Today's LIVE Bets:
NCAAB: Le Moyne Dolphins @ Dartmouth Big Green - 11:00am ET
Dartmouth to win
Analysis:
How about some Wednesday morning basketball? Dartmouth is expected to have the advantage here. This will be Dartmouth's first home game since November 13. They excel in 3-point shooting, defense, and rebounding. Meanwhile, Le Moyne players may be more focused on their upcoming game against Notre Dame, and two of their four wins have come against non-Division I schools. I put an extra unit on this one here. The public is HUGE on Big Green to win here, coming in at 97% in favor of them coming out victorious.
NCAAF: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers @ James Madison Dukes - 5:30pm ET
James Madison -7
Analysis:
Tonight’s match up features two teams relying on third-string quarterbacks due to injuries and transfers depleting their rosters. Western Kentucky has lost several key players to the transfer portal, including their top receiver and pass rusher. Meanwhile, James Madison can still operate effectively offensively, even with their quarterback, Billy Adkins, who has only attempted one pass this season. Western's weak rush defense will likely benefit James Madison, allowing them to run the ball frequently. Despite Western's impressive bowl record, their current roster is significantly weakened. The public also favors the JMU to cover here, coming in at 59% in favor of the Dukes.
NCAAF: Cal Golden Bears @ UNLV Rebels - 9:00pm ET
UNLV -3
Analysis:
The Rebels are set to have a new coach next year, while Cal faces the challenge of starting a new quarterback and receiver due to Fernando Mendoza and Nyziah Hunter transferring. Initially, Cal was the favorite, but now UNLV holds that title. Cal's coach, Justin Wilcox, is considering two quarterbacks for the starting role following a 6-6 season. UNLV has only lost one running back to the transfer portal. I predict UNLV will cover the spread. The Public agrees with us here coming in at 62% in favor of the Rebels.
