Free Sports Picks of the Day

[1%] Free Play on Heat -2½ -110

1* Free Pick on Lightning/Canucks over 6

1* Free Pick on Brewers -135

*Free Play Under* The Houston Cougars have the potential to shutdown the opposition. They held SIU Edwardsville to 40 points in the Round of 64 last year. They held Longwood to 46 points two years ago. 

Houston is a top five team in the country and they are a top five defense. The Cougars also play at a bottom 15 pace nationally. They are good at dictating the pace. 

Idaho will have to be making shots from outside in order to score much at all here. Tugler is going to be a major problem with his length and shot blocking ability.

Games with a big spread have been good under wagers in the last 15 years of the NCAA Tournament. I think this will be a run away, and I'm going to back the under.

Ricky's 1* play on SJ.

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 Sharks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The Sabres are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.

- The Sharks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Verdict: The value is on the home underdog.

Free Play – Take #716 Georgia -2 over St. Louis (9:45 p.m. ET, Thursday, Mar. 19)

Honestly, I prefer to see St. Louis win their game against Georgia. For most of the season, the Billikens were the better team, playing smart, efficient basketball on all 94 feet. However, in their last eight outings, St. Louis is 4-4 and 2-6 ATS and seems to have lost that momentum. On the flip side. Georgia closed 5-2 SU/ATS, losing at Vanderbilt and to a red-hot Ole Miss squad that ended up playing for the SEC championship. Can St. Louis just turn it on? That’s possible considering that for the season they have shot over 50% and held opponents to below 38% shooting. I’m not seeing it, thus, I’ll back the Bulldogs.

1* Free Play on Kings +3½ -110

Lakers +5.5

The Lakers are rolling right now and they have value here at this number. Los Angeles has won 7 straight and 9 out of 10 this month to skyrocket them into 3rd place in the West. They’re getting the job done on both ends of the floor and have scored 110 points or more in all but one game this month. Expect them to wear Miami down as the Heat come losers in back to back games. They allowed 121 and 136 points in those losses and this is another tough spot for them. 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. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the LAKERS +5.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

For my best free pick on the board here for Thursday in college basketball I am looking at the Houston Cougars and the Idaho Vandals. What would the opening of March Madness be without a big dog to back on day 1. Idaho has been a cover darling for bettors covering 7 of the last 8 games. Houston a top 8 team in the land has not been covering the number just 2-8 ATS over the last 10 games. Look for Idaho to be down 10 or less at the half and do just enough to get us a nice cover when it’s all set and done. 

Play on Idaho plus the points rotation # 731

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR THURSDAY, 3/19:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Thursday is on Idaho plus the points versus Houston. Idaho (21-14) has won seven of their last eight games after winning the Big Sky Conference tournament with a 77-66 victory against Montana as a 3.5-point favorite in that championship game on Wednesday of last week. The Vandals have now covered the point spread in 6 of their last 9 games played in March. They have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games in tournament action. Houston (28-6) had won six games in a row before their 79-74 loss against Arizona as a 1.5-point underdog in the championship game of the Big 12 Conference tournament last Saturday. The Cougars have failed to cove the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games in tournament action. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games on the road when laying double-digits. Take Idaho plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on Houston -23.5

The Key: The Houston Cougars will be happy to get out of the Big 12 gauntlet and get back to beating up on overmatched competition which they are notorious for in the non-conference.  The Cougars opened 23-2 this season with their only losses to Tennessee by 3 and Texas Tech by 4.  They take on a Idaho team that benefited from getting to play the Big Sky Tournament in their home state.  Idaho lost to Sam Houston State by 26 in the non-conference.  The Vandals only played one team ranked inside the Top 100 which was Notre Dame in a 15-point loss.  This will be far and away their stiffest test of the season.  Take Houston.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #759 Queens Royals +25.5 over Purdue Boilermakers (7:35p.m., Friday, March 20 TruTV) Purdue showed up in Chicago for the Big 10 Tournament but they have not played well during the second half of the season. We will grab the points with the Royals on Friday night in St. Louis, MO. Purdue is nowhere near as strong on defense this year and many of their stars are not shooting it well. They got a cakewalk to the Big 10 Finals by getting to play a depleted UCLA team on Saturday. They are overseeded and are not a strong two seed. The Royals can score points and should get hot at some point in this game to cover this spread.

Thursday's CBB Free Pick 

PLAY ON: Texas A&M +3.5

The UFC Fight Night main event this Saturday at The O2 Arena in London pits undefeated featherweight contenders Movsar Evloev against hometown fighter Lerone Murphy in a high-stakes matchup with title implications looming. Evloev enters as the betting favorite, riding a perfect 19-0 professional record built largely on relentless grappling pressure and control. He has secured the majority of his victories by decision, 12 out of 19 overall, including all nine of his UFC wins, showcasing a grinding style that wears opponents down through takedowns, top control, and sustained pace rather than seeking early finishes. This approach has proven highly effective against elite competition, allowing him to dominate rounds and avoid risks that could lead to upsets.

Murphy, boasting a 17-0-1 record (with the draw in his UFC debut), counters with explosive finishing power and sharp striking. He has racked up eight knockouts in his career, including several first-round finishes, and his recent UFC performances highlight a knack for landing devastating shots like knees, elbows, and precise combinations. His ability to avoid damage while maintaining high output makes him dangerous in stand-up exchanges, and he thrives when fights remain at range where his reach and power can shine.

One compelling angle here is the historical trend of home-country fighters in UFC events held in the United Kingdom. UK-based competitors have occasionally defied expectations as underdogs, capitalizing on crowd energy, familiarity with the venue, and the psychological boost of performing in front of passionate fans. While not every home fighter wins, these bouts have produced notable upsets or closer-than-expected results, particularly when the underdog possesses knockout upside against a more methodical opponent. Recent UFC cards in the UK have shown that local fighters often perform with extra intensity, turning potential decisions into highlight-reel moments.

Betting trends in featherweight title eliminators and undefeated-vs-undefeated clashes further support looking at the underdog side when the price offers value. Favorites in grinding stylistic matchups can become overbacked due to their consistency and records, but underdogs with finishing tools have cashed at plus-money odds by catching opponents in exchanges or capitalizing on openings that the favorite's cautious approach leaves exposed. Murphy's active schedule compared to Evloev's longer layoff adds another layer, momentum and sharpness can play a role in five-round wars where early damage shifts momentum.

This spot presents a live underdog opportunity at around +195 to +205. Murphy's finishing power gives him a clear path to victory if he keeps the fight standing or stuffs takedowns effectively, while the home-crowd factor and his explosive style make him more than just a live dog, he's a fighter capable of turning the fight with one big shot. For bettors seeking value over chalky favorites in this card, backing Murphy outright offers strong potential in a matchup where the grinding favorite could be vulnerable to power if the pace isn't fully controlled.

PSP Data Driven 1* Bruins.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. 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 favorite. Boston is 17-3 in its last 20 games when playing at home against Winnipeg. Winnipeg is 4-14 SU in its last 18 games on the road.

This qualifies under the turbo version of our “counterintuitive line vs. points-per-game margin” system—where we trust the oddsmakers over surface stats. That angle delivers at a dominant 1030-721-29 clip, reinforcing this as a clear value side. Unfortunately, my outlaw line has this just short of premium bet. 

This is the annual Million Dollar March—where the coffee is brewed, the days stretch 16 hours, and the edge belongs to the most disciplined bettors in the game.

Leading the charge is America’s only Grandmaster Sports Handicapper, Joe Duffy, attacking the board with precision and purpose.

Thursday delivers a loaded card featuring six NCAA Tournament sides, each one hand-selected through a convergence of elite systems, proprietary metrics, and proven tournament angles.

No fluff. No filler. Just high-level execution when it matters most.

This is how March is won.
