Play on: Bucs -2½ -120 at circa
Game Analysis

For my best free pick of the day for Saturday I am looking at the NFL and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Carolina Panthers. Bettors are fickle creatures they have seen Tampa lose 7 of the last 8 games they have played and are flocking to public dog Carolina in droves both ATS and on the ML. This price has been bet down to where I like it. Tampa is 0-8 ATS last 8 further pushing this game to major value territory.  Look for this game to be tied at the half with Tampa winning late by 7. 

Play on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lay the points rotation #346

NFL | Packers vs Vikings
Play on: Packers +6½ -105 at Bovada
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #335 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, January 4 CBS) Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC Playoffs and thus the experts are expecting them to rest a lot of players in this game. Minnesota is still very weak at the quarterback position, and I am not sure this is a good spot for them laying this many points against a divisional opponent. Does Green Bay really want to enter the playoffs getting blown out in this game making it 4 straight losses? I think they will play some key players and be able to take this game down to the wire.

Game Analysis

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Golden State Warriors +9

The Golden State Warriors turned a corner after a 124-112 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 2nd.  They have gone 5-1 SU in their last six games overall with wins over playoff contenders in the Suns and Magic.  Their only loss came in OT.  Look for the Warriors to give the Thunder a run tonight while being extra motivated to prove they can hang with the league's best.  The Thunder have benefited from a soft, home-heavy schedule with four straight home games coming into this one.  Give me the Warriors Friday.

NFL | Cowboys vs Giants
Play on: Giants +3½ -110 at Buckeye
Game Analysis

Cowboys vs Giants 
1 EST, Sunday 
5-Unit bet on the Giants priced as 3-point home underdogs. 

I am lacking confidence that the Giants QB will play the whole game, so be sure to check the latest news between now and kickoff. I have heard just one quarter and even one series, but if it is unknown at kickoff, don’t bet more than 3 units. Still, the betting system supporting the opportunity has produced exceptional results over many seasons and all of what we do now is priced into the market - just like in stocks and commodities trading.

The following NFL betting algorithm has compiled an outstanding 21-23 SU, and 32-11-1 ATS for 74% winning bets since 1990 or 35 seasons of action. 

The game occurs over the past 4 weeks of the regular season. 

Bet on home underdogs that won five or fewer games in their previous season. 

They have won no more than 33% of their games this season. 

The opponent allows more rushing yards per attempt than they have gained.

NHL | Seattle Kraken vs Canucks
Play on: Seattle Kraken +1½ -150 at Ace
Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on SEA.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Canucks are 0-4 in their last 4 games.

- The Kraken are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games.

- The Kraken is 4-2 in its last 6 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division

Verdict: The value is on the road underdog.
