Dec 24th | 🏈 Tonight's Live Pick & Our Take on the Flawed CFP Selection Process
A ton of CFP Controversy: It Seems we are Prioritizing Revenue Over Quality
Sports Corner Daily’s 👀 Results from 12/23/2024
Winners - 2
Losers - 1
Sports Corner Daily had a successful night last night going 2-1 on our selections. In some Monday night football action, the Packers absolutely demolished the Saints 34-0. As the score indicates, the Saints couldn't get anything going against the Packers and turned the ball over 3 times in the shutout loss. The Packers improved their record to 11-4 and are winners of 5 of their last 6 games. No team wants to see them heading into the playoffs.
In some NBA action, the Timberwolves continue to struggle this season dropping a game to the Atlanta Hawks 117- 104. The Timberwolves, coming off a Western Conference Finals appearance last season, fall to 14-14 this season and are currently in 10th place in the west. Trae Young scored 29 points for the Hawks last night in the win and the Hawks improved to 15-15 on the season.
Looking ahead to tonight, unfortunately there is only one game on Christmas Eve. Lets get a win here and get ready for tomorrow.
Before we get into tonight's action. We wanted to address something based on our inbox being flooded with utter disgust on the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Is the entire system broken?
The common theme in our inbox was that a few of the teams shouldn't be there. A lot of you feel that the CFP is overly hyped and flawed. We tend to agree with that assessment. We have much skepticism about the committee's ability to rank teams fairly. There are so many inconsistencies in the selection process. I mean come on, should teams like Indiana and SMU even have been a thought for the CFP despite lacking victories over a single Top 25 opponent? The focus should be on the quality of teams rather than generating advertising revenue. We definitely need stricter qualifications for playoff eligibility. Give us the best 12. We came across this article this morning and think it is a simple start. Change 3 simple things and focus on the best teams. Check it out.
Be on the lookout for our Christmas day edition where we will have quite a few games in play. Now let's dive into today's Sports Corner Daily selection below.
✅ NHL - Nashville +1.5 - Win
❌ NBA - Minnesota -3.5 - Lost
✅ NFL -Saints vs Packers - Under 42.5 - Win
