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 Flyers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
- The Flyers are 4-2 in their last 6 road games.

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO ST. AZTECS for our Wednesday Free Play. This will probably be a popular public spot but I am ok with that in this situation as San Diego St. got off to a rough start but it has found something and we can still buy low. The Aztecs were the preseason pick to win the Mountain West Conference and they are off to a 5-0 start with solid wins over Boise St. and Nevada. This comes after a 6-4 nonconference record which included a double overtime loss against Sun Belt Conference favorite Troy in their third game of the season, a loss against Baylor in Las Vegas and losses against No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Arizona, and those are NET Rankings not the overhyped and worthless AP Poll. Wyoming has gotten off to a great start as it is 11-5 overall but is starting to leak a little bit as it has started 2-3 in the conference with the wins against Air Force and UNLV, two of the bottom three teams in the conference NET Rankings. The Cowboys are 9-1 at home but the best win in UNLV followed closely by No. 180 Austin Peay. Play (731) San Diego Aztecs

**Wednesday's Best Free Pick: Wyoming Cowboys + the Points vs. San Diego State Aztecs**
For my top free selection on the board tonight, I'm eyeing the Mountain West matchup where the Wyoming Cowboys host the San Diego State Aztecs at Arena-Auditorium in Laramie. The Aztecs are the slight favorite (around -1.5 to -2.5 depending on the book), and I understand the reasoning—SDSU has the bigger name, a strong 5-0 start in conference play, and a lengthy win streak over Wyoming historically.
But for my money, **Wyoming is the better value here and flying under the radar this season**. The Cowboys are a perfect **9-1 straight up at home** this year, defending their high-altitude court exceptionally well in one of the toughest environments in the conference. Offensively, Wyoming is averaging more points per game (around 84 PPG) than the Aztecs (82.5 PPG), and they're shooting efficiently from the field while forcing turnovers and controlling the glass.
Look for the Cowboys to hang tough early, feed off the home crowd, and pull away—or at least cover comfortably—midway through the second half as fatigue sets in for the visitors.
**Play: Wyoming Cowboys + the points** (grab the best number available—value is strong as underdogs at home).
**Don't miss my Titanium Best Bet winner in the NBA tonight!**
My Titanium plays are scorching hot at **78-40 (66%) over the last 118**, and my overall NBA plays are **50-26 (66%) over the last 76**. Locked and loaded—let's keep the momentum rolling!

1* Free Pick on Denver -7
Denver is a different animal when they play at Hamilton Gymnasium.
The Pioneers have a winning record at home this season, while Oral Roberts has yet to win a single game on the road.
The Golden Eagles are currently sitting at 0-9 away from home and are stuck in a brutal six-game losing streak.
They just don’t have the legs to compete for forty minutes in the thin air of the Mile High City.
Oral Roberts is incredibly careless with the basketball, averaging over 14 turnovers per game.
Denver doesn't beat itself, ranking among the better teams in the conference at protecting the rock with only 10 turnovers a night.
The Pioneers also have the best player on the court in Carson Johnson.
He’s averaging nearly 18 points per game and should have no problem slicing through a Golden Eagles defense that is one of the worst in the country.
Oral Roberts is currently allowing opponents to shoot nearly 50% from the floor.
Denver’s offense is high-powered and efficient enough to exploit those gaps all night long.
The Pioneers are also elite at the charity stripe, hitting over 77% of their free throws as a team.
In a game with a mid-single-digit spread, that's the difference between a cover and a push when the fouling starts late.
Oral Roberts looks like a team that has completely lost its confidence during this slide.
They couldn't even keep it close at home against St. Thomas last Saturday and now they have to travel to a much tougher environment.
Expect Denver to use their depth and the altitude to pull away in the second half.
This line is a bargain for a team that has already beaten ORU in two straight head-to-head meetings.
Bet Denver -7.0 (-110).

Vegas is worth a free move on Wednesday. The Golden Knights have won 4 in a row and this offense is rolling. They’ve tallied 20 goals in this winning streak and they’re doing it by attacking the net. They’re getting 2nd and 3rd chances, which will be the difference here against this Kings team that has dropped 3 of their last 4 overall. Back Vegas.

In the competitive landscape of Atlantic 10 conference basketball, matchups like Fordham visiting Saint Louis often highlight stark contrasts in team performance and historical dominance. The Billikens, boasting a stellar 15-1 overall record and a perfect 3-0 start in conference play, have turned their home court into a fortress this season, going undefeated in 11 home games. This trend underscores a broader league pattern where strong home teams in the A-10 capitalize on familiar surroundings to overwhelm opponents, especially those with road vulnerabilities. Saint Louis exemplifies this by averaging impressive shooting efficiency, hitting 52.1 percent from the field overall, which exploits defenses that struggle to contain high-percentage looks inside and out.
Fordham, on the other hand, enters with a 10-7 record and a shaky 1-3 mark in A-10 action, reflecting ongoing challenges in away games where they've posted just a 1-7 straight-up record in their last eight road contests. This aligns with a troubling conference trend for mid-tier teams like the Rams, who often falter against top contenders due to defensive lapses. Fordham's unit has been particularly porous, allowing opponents to shoot effectively while surrendering an average of 7.8 made three-pointers per game , a statistic that plays right into Saint Louis's hands, as the Billikens drain 10.6 threes on average. Historically against Saint Louis, Fordham has managed only 4 wins in their last 18 meetings straight up, and their road woes intensify further with a dismal 1-9 straight-up clip in the last 10 visits to Chaifetz Arena, pointing to a clear angle where home-court advantage in this rivalry tilts heavily toward the hosts.
From a betting perspective, the spread favoring Saint Louis by around 19 points finds support in recent trends showing the Billikens' ability to pull away in lopsided affairs at home. They've covered in 7 of their last 11 home games against the spread, often fueled by a balanced attack that limits close calls, evidenced by just a 1-1 record in games decided by fewer than four points this season. Conversely, Fordham has covered the spread in 8 of their last 14 away games, but those successes came against lesser competition; against A-10 foes, they've gone 4-10 against the spread in the last 14, suggesting vulnerability when stepping up in class. The Rams' offense, averaging 73.6 points per game, might keep pace early, but Saint Louis's stingy defense, holding teams to 67.4 points on average, creates a mismatch that could lead to a widening gap as the game progresses.
Digging deeper into player and team dynamics, Saint Louis's recent surge includes standout performances like guard Reaves dropping 31 points in their latest outing, highlighting a trend of individual stars elevating the group in conference play. This fits a league-wide angle where A-10 teams with experienced backcourts dominate possession and force turnovers, areas where Fordham has lagged, turning the ball over at a higher rate on the road. Over the last few seasons, these teams have split their two most recent encounters, but the blowout nature of Saint Louis's 88-63 victory just weeks ago on December 31, 2024, signals a shift back to form for the Billikens, especially at home where they've outscored opponents by significant margins.
Ultimately, this contest shapes up as a prime opportunity for Saint Louis to extend their home winning streak, leveraging superior shooting, defensive intensity, and historical edges over a Fordham squad that's shown cracks in road environments and against stronger A-10 competition. Bettors eyeing the favorite here can find value in the trends pointing to a comfortable margin, as the Billikens' efficiency and Fordham's defensive shortcomings align for what could be another decisive outcome in this series.

Wednesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Oral Roberts plus the points over Denver at 9 pm et on Wednesday.
We'll grab all the points we can get with Oral Roberts on Wednesday as it travels to face Denver. The Golden Eagles have lost six straight games but that's had a lot to do with a difficult schedule. While Oral Roberts owns the weaker overall record in this matchup this season it has faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. I like the Golden Eagles defense in this clash, noting that they've held eight straight opponents to 27 or fewer made field goals and at least have a shot at slowing a fast-paced Denver offense. The Pioneers check in off three straight defeats and have been reeling defensively, yielding 27 or more field goals in eight straight contests. Look for ORU to take this one down to the wire at the very least. Take Oral Roberts.

Our selection is on the New York Rangers to defeat the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday at 7:37pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:
Ottawa played last night and beat Vancouver in a tight game at home. Now, it travels to the Big Apple.
The Senators are still just 1-4 over their L5 games and have lost three straight road games.
New York has had some trouble too lately, but should be motivated at home against a team that it's had success against.
In fact, the Rangers have won five of the L6 games played against the Senators.
We're on NYR.

Knicks vs Kings NBA Free Pick
The Angle: This looks like a good spot to fade the Sacramento kings after back-to-back upset wins over the Rockets and the Lakers. It's just too tough to play on the level needed for upsets like that three games in a row, and the New York Knicks are 8-2 straight up and against the spread in the last 10 meetings.
The Bet: KNICKS (3%).

(#561) Cleveland Cavaliers | ATS | .
Cleveland got pretty humiliated by Utah in its last game, losing outright in that matchup. With such talent on the roster and a supposedly great head coach, I believe that the Cavs will be able to respond on Wednesday evening, even on the road. They should be much more focussed to beat a team within the conference this time around.
Philadelphia has immense talent as well, with Maxey, Embiid, PG and VJ. Although all of those guys are expected to be in the lineup, there's a big drop off after those players. I believe that the Cavs have much more depth and that should be the difference in this one. Expect a massive game from Mitchell to match Maxey as well.
Burns' Prediction: 118-109 Cleveland.

Luck Factor indicates Vanderbilt has been lucky this season with 2 more real wins than advanced metrics say they should have with Texas at -1.1, a gap of 3.1.
TeamRankings Luck Factor in college basketball is a results-based over-/under-performance metric, not a projection or power rating. It is designed to isolate how much a team’s win–loss record deviates from what its scoring margins imply.The handicapping significance is lucky teams are overvalued and unlucky undervalued do to deceptive and overrated (from an ATS standpoint) SU records. Because the ratings are precise, it does not result in perfectly rounded numbers.
