Ricky's 1* play on Under.
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 Under is 9-4 in UTSA's last 13 games.
- The Under is 6-2 in North Texas' last 8 games.
- The Under is 6-1 in North Texas' last 7 games against UTSA.
Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

1* Free Pick on Seattle University -165
Seattle University is back home where they have played their best basketball of the season.
The Redhawks are 9-3 at the Redhawk Center and need a "get right" win after a tough battle with Gonzaga.
Loyola Marymount is heading into Seattle on a four-game road losing streak.
The Lions are just 2-5 straight up away from home and have failed to cover in most of those spots.
The biggest edge here is Seattle’s perimeter defense against LMU’s volume shooting.
The Lions are a perimeter-reliant team that averages nearly nine made three-pointers per game.
Seattle ranks near the top of the conference in three-point defense, allowing only 6.7 makes per contest.
When you run LMU off the line, their offense tends to stagnate.
They lack a true post presence to punish teams inside.
Seattle shoots 53% on two-point attempts and should have a field day in the paint tonight.
The Redhawks also hold a significant advantage on the boards.
They rank much higher in defensive rebounding rate and won't give LMU many second-chance opportunities.
This limits the high variance that usually keeps LMU in games.
Seattle is coming off a physical game against a top-10 opponent and looks ready for this step down in class.
Their defense is too disciplined to let a streaky team like LMU hang around for forty minutes.
Expect the home crowd and superior interior efficiency to carry the Redhawks to a clear win.
I like the Seattle University ML (-165).

Leafs -111
The Maple Leafs are worth a move. Toronto fell to Minnesota last time out, but overall they’ve still had a great month. They continue to be one of the best offensive teams, putting up nearly 3.4 gpg. This is a Detroit defense that has had issues against teams that love to play with a lot of tempo. Look for Toronto to continue to attack the net and play for 2nd and 3rd chances off rebounds. Back the Leafs. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction.

By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.
Our models suggest that the value is on the Under. The Under is 4-2 in Brooklyn's last 6 games. The Under is 4-2 in New York's last 6 games.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Florida Atlantic -10
The FAU Owls are one of the most underrated teams in the country. They have gone 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Their lone non-cover during this stretch? A 69-66 road loss at Tulane as 3.5-point favorites. It's revenge time for the Owls tonight.
FAU is 8-1 SU & 6-1 ATS at home this season with double-digit wins in all three AAC home games over UTSA by 40 as 16.5-point favorites, Memphis by 11 as 1.5-point favorites and Wichita State by 18 as 3.5-point favorites. Another double-digit blowout is in the works tonight.
Tulane is coming off a pair of bad home losses to UAB by 13 as 1.5-point dogs and North Texas by 8 as 1.5-point favorites. The Green Wave's three true road games this season came against teams ranks 345th, 321st and 276th in Kenpom. This will be their toughest test of the season after facing the 296th-ranked schedule overall to this point. The Owls have faced the 97th-ranked schedule.
FAU had an unusually poor shooting performance in that 3-point loss at Tulane in the first meeting. The Owls shot 5-of-23 (21.7%) from 3-point range and made just 9 free throws while shooting 60% from the FT line. They are due some positive shooting regression in the rematch. They are scoring 91.4 points per game while shooting 38.5% from 3 and 70.1% from the FT line at home this season. Bet Florida Atlantic Wednesday.

Matt Fargo
This is a play on the SEATTLE REDHAWKS for our Wednesday Free Play. It has been a struggle for both teams and we are backing the home team. Seattle is coming off a 21-point loss against Gonzaga and the first season in the West Coast Conference has not been a smooth transition for the Redhawks as they are 2-5. The schedule makers did them no favors as they have already had to face Gonzaga twice, St. Mary’s and San Francisco, the top three projected teams coming into the season. Seattle did go 11-2 in the nonconference part of their schedule and things lighten up tonight. This is the start of four of their next five games against teams ranked lower in the NET Rankings. Loyola Marymount has lost three straight games to fall to 2-6 in the conference and while one of those wins was against the aforementioned San Francisco, it was by two points at home that took overtime. The Lions opened the season 6-0 that included two road wins but have lost their last four road games. Play (756) Seattle Redhawks

*Free Play on USC* Northwestern takes the long road trip out to Los Angeles for tonight's late night game against USC. Northwestern has been falling apart of late, and I don't see this trip being a turnaround spot for them. Northwestern is allowing 1.215 points per possession in the Big Ten. The Wildcats just aren't quick enough to keep teams in front of them.
USC is top 45 in defensive efficiency. I like Musselman and I think the Trojans should be well prepared here.
Take USC.

PLAY ON: Texas +7
Alex Smart
While the Avalanche enter as heavy favorites, the real betting intrigue lies in the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, with the under available around +115. This offers potential value for those wagering on a lower-scoring affair, as both teams have shown flashes of defensive solidity amid broader league patterns where unders have edged out overs this season at a 51.2% clip overall. Road underdogs like Anaheim have contributed to this trend, with games involving such matchups hitting the under in approximately 57% of instances when the total is pegged at 6.5, particularly against high-powered home squads that occasionally tighten up defensively.
Anaheim boasts a 25-21-3 record, clinging to playoff contention in the Pacific Division, and they've averaged 3.22 goals per game while conceding 3.57, placing them near the bottom in defensive efficiency. However, the Ducks have tightened their play during a recent four-game winning streak, limiting opponents to an average of 2.25 goals against in those contests, including back-to-back unders against the Kings with totals of 5 and 3. Their penalty kill ranks at 77.6%, and on the road, Anaheim has seen the under cash in 9 of their last 16 away games, aligning with their 16-9 over/under road split that leans slightly toward lower outputs against elite defenses. This defensive uptick mirrors NHL-wide trends where streaking underdogs have forced unders in 52.7% of overtime-inclusive games, emphasizing goaltending and structure over run-and-gun play.
Colorado, with a dominant 34-5-8 mark leading the Central Division, paces the league offensively at 4.02 goals per game but also clamps down defensively, allowing just 2.30 goals against on a league-low 27.0 shots faced per outing. The Avalanche's penalty kill stands strong at 84.8%, and they've posted a 22-25 over/under record this season, with the under hitting in 53.2% of their games, including recent unders like a 3- total against Washington and a 6-goal affair versus Nashville. At home, Colorado has gone 12-11 on over/unders, often delivering unders when facing middling offenses, as seen in their 52% under rate in such spots last season. This defensive prowess fits into larger league patterns, where home favorites have seen unders prevail in 48.3% of all games, rising to over 50% in mid-season tilts as teams prioritize possession and limit transitions.
Head-to-head, Colorado has owned the series, winning the last five encounters and holding a 1-0 edge this season, but these matchups have frequently stayed under the total, with three of the past five combining for six or fewer goals amid tight, low-event hockey. Anaheim's road struggles against the Avalanche, going 0-5 straight up, have often resulted in controlled, defense-first games, reflecting broader NHL betting angles where inter-conference underdogs contribute to unders at a 58% rate when facing top-ranked defenses. With both teams trending toward unders in their last five combined outings (hitting in three for each), this setup highlights the value in fading the over in a game likely to feature strong goaltending from Colorado's Mackenzie Blackwood (.915 save percentage) and Anaheim's Lukas Dostal (.890).
From a betting standpoint, the under at 6.5 stands out given the 51.7% league-wide over rate that's been tempered by a mid-season dip in scoring, where totals have gone under in 51.2% of games involving home favorites with elite defenses. Anaheim's recent road unders (6 of 12) and Colorado's home tendency to stifle lesser offenses (under in 11 of 23) provide a solid angle, especially as underdogs have pushed unders in 57% of 6.5-total games this year. In a season where overall scoring has leveled off after an early surge, backing the under here capitalizes on these converging trends for a potentially gritty, low-scoring battle.

Wednesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Holy Cross plus the points over Navy at 7 pm et on Wednesday.
We'll grab the generous helping of points with Holy Cross on Wednesday as it looks to avenge an earlier seven-point defeat against the Midshipmen. While Navy does own the better overall record in this matchup this season, Holy Cross has faced the considerably more difficult schedule. In fact, the Midshipmen have parlayed one of the easiest Division-I schedules in the country into a 13-6 record. Holy Cross comes off an awful shooting performance (18-of-51 from the field) in a blowout loss at Lafayette. It had won back-to-back games heading into that contest and will look to salvage the finale of this two-game road jaunt. Navy salvaged the finale of its own two-game road trip with an 82-79 overtime win at Lehigh last time out. Of note, the Midshipmen have knocked down 27 or fewer field goals in 10 of their last 12 games. That obviously makes it difficult to cover such a lofty number. Take Holy Cross.
AAA Sports
AAA Sports' Selection -- Washington Capitals ML.
Washington is in need of a bounce back and it's got a good opponent to do just that against on Wednesday.
The Capitals are 13-6 over their L19 games played against the Canucks.
Vancouver has lost 10 straight games and it's clear that it's time for a complete rebuild in this program.
The Canucks are 0-8 over their L8 home games as well.
The play is Washington.

Capitals vs Canucks NHL Free Pick
The Angle: The Vancouver Canucks have lost 11 straight games and have at 4-14-3 on home ice on the season given the home town crowd little reason to celebrate. Tonight they'll face a Washington Capitals team looking to avenge a 4-3 home loss to the Canucks back in October. Additionally, the Caps are coming into the game looking to end a three-game losing streak, and they're 3-1 off three losses on the season.
The Bet: CAPITALS (3%).

(#731) UTSA Roadrunners @ (#732) North Texas Mean Green | UNDER | .
UTSA isn't a very good team this year and even though it's a conference game, I believe that it's not going to be able to score many points on Wednesday evening. The Roadrunners have been held to less than 60 points in six of their 18 games already this year. Going up against one of the best defenses in the country, they shouldn't have much success.
North Texas just went into Tulane and allowed 63 points. The Mean Green have the 37th best defensive efficiency via. KenPom and play extremely slow. I don't believe that UNT is going to be able to run up the score too much while averaging less than 70 PPG themselves. Play the "under" in this AAC contest.
Burns' Prediction: 76-55 UNT.
Joe Duffy
"Luck Factor" quantifies how much better or worse a team performs due to random, unpredictable events (like turnovers, lucky bounces, or missed kicks in football) versus consistent skill, using statistical models that compare expected outcomes (based on play-by-play data) to actual results, essentially showing if a team is "due" for positive or negative regression by filtering out controllable elements from their overall performance.
We take the luck factor gap based on real wins versus what advanced analytics says the wins they should have. If for example, one team has three more lucky wins than their record and their opponents has three fewer, the luck gap would be 6.
Washington has been unlucky with -1.2 fewer wins than metrics say they should have. Nebraska a whopping +3.8 for a gap of 5.
The pros’ pro, Joe Duffy keeps delivering. A 5–3 overall day continues a dominant college basketball run that now stands at 88–57 (61%). This is one of the strongest CBB resumes of the season, headlined by four Wise Guy releases leading a slate of 8 college basketball best bets as 2 more added this morning! Proven process. Consistent execution. Results that speak for themselves.
Off 3-1 last night, 3 NBA winners for tonight!
