For my best free pick on the board here for Friday in the big College Football game with the Oregon Ducks and the Indiana Hoosiers matching up I am taking the UNDER here. This total does continue to rise from where it opened at so waiting until just before kick should get you the best bang for your buck. Let’s remember this is the 6th and 2nd ranked defenses in all of football as far as yards allowed go and I believe we will see both teams have strong defenses out of the gate and feel themselves out in the first half of this game.

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Take Tijuana/America DRAW (+270) (10 p.m. EST, Friday January 9) Doc’s is thrilled that their top league, Liga MX, is returning to action this Friday, and we get a very intriguing matchup tonight from Estadio Caliente in Tijuana. The Baja California side looks like a team on the rise, and they made the playoffs last season. Their success was a result of their play at home, as they were a completely different team at home vs. away fixtures. We see the same results this season. The playoffs were a prime example of their stark contrast between away and home performance for Tijuana. In their first leg against runner up Tigres UANL, they won 3-0 at home and just needed to not lose by more than two goals in the road leg, but Tigres bounced Tijuana in a 5-0 match. Tijuana collected points in all their home matches last season. They usually had to settle for a point against top sides, as they drew with eventual champion Toluca and also Monterrey. We don’t see them losing this match, but we also think it would be a little far fetched for them to beat mighty America from Mexico City outright. Three of the last four meetings have ended in a draw, including the last two in Tijuana. This is a really good price for that trend to continue on opening night.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR FRIDAY, 1/9:
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 Friday is with the Brooklyn Nets plays the points versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Brooklyn (11-23) lost for the fourth time in their last five games after their 104-103 loss at home against Orlando as a 2-point underdog on Wednesday. The Nets stay at home where they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games at home as an underdog of up to seven points. They have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games at home against teams with a losing record. Los Angeles (13-23) has lost two of their last three games after a 123-111 loss at New York as a 5-point underdog on Wednesday. The Clippers have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games on the road in January. The Knicks have also failed to cover the point spread in 8 straight games when favored by 3.5 to 9.5 points. Take Brooklyn plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Friday: Brooklyn Nets +4.5
The Brooklyn Nets have quietly gone 8-7 SU in their last 15 games overall with seven outright upset victories. That even includes their loss at the buzzer on a banked 3-pointer to the Magic last time out. They are as healthy as they have been all season and playing better than most realize.
This is the perfect time to 'sell high' on the Clippers after going 7-2 SU & 6-3 ATS in their last nine games overall. But they played seven of those nine games at home. They fell to 4-14 SU on the road this season with a 123-111 loss to the Knicks last time out.
The Clippers are without Derrick Jones Jr. (10.4 PPG) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (8.0 PPG). Jones Jr. in particular was playing well during this recent Clippers turnaround. Now Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been downgraded to questionable after an extremely high usage rate in recent games. James Harden is battling a shoulder injury that forced him out of action two games ago. Wrong team favored here. Bet the Nets Friday.

Matt Fargo
This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS for our Friday Free Play. Colorado St. is coming off a 10-point loss at home against New Mexico which was its second straight home loss and the Rams have opened 1-3 in the Mountain West Conference after finishing 16-4 last season in their second place finish. Colorado St. lost head coach Nico Medved to Minnesota and that seems to be part of the issue but this team needs to regain its mojo following a 9-2 start with those two losses coming by two points each and regain its dominant home court. The Rams are one of 10 programs in the nation shooting over 50.0 percent overall, 35.0 percent from behind the arc and 75.0 percent from the free throw line. UNLV opened 2-0 in the conference but those wins were against Fresno St. and Air Force, two of the four lowest ranked NET teams in the MWC with the Rebels also holding down one of those four spots. They are coming off their first conference loss, a 32-point setback at Wyoming on Tuesday. While the Rams are No. 19 in the country in free throw shooting, UNLV is No. 329 at 66.3 percent. Play (894) Colorado St. Rams

Ray Monohan
Blackhawks +130
Chicago has value as a free move. The Blackhawks have caught some fire, winning 5 in a row and they’re doing it with a ton of offensive production.

Chicago has good value at plus money. 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 BLACKHAWKS ML.

Ricky's 1* play on CHI.
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 Blackhawks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.
- The Capitals are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games.
- The Blackhawks are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 home games.
Verdict: The value is on the home Underdog.
Doug Upstone
Free Play – Take #375 L.A. Rams –6.5 (1st Half) over Carolina (4:30 p.m. ET, Saturday, Jan. 10)
There are lots of reasons to back the Rams as large favorites. Start with the oddsmakers made them 10-point favorites at the same exact place where they lost earlier this season by three points. That tells you the books think this is a mismatch. It’s also of note that double-digit Wild Card favorites are 8-2 ATS when that large a favorite. Besides, Carolina finished the season with a -68 point differential, the worst mark for any playoff team in history. If -10.5 makes you a little queasy, consider this. It’s hard to imagine the Rams won’t be focused to start, and as we have seen with the Panthers, they will give up long drives in the first quarter before typically settling in a bit. Don’t forget the Rams were -3 in TOs in the first encounter and lost by three, running for 152 yards. That’s why the -6.5 for the first half could be appealing. L.A. is 10-2 ATS vs passing defenses allowing a completion percentage of 64% or worse in the second half of the season. AND the Panthers are 0-6 ATS at halftime playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%).
DOUG UPSTONE is 97-60 college hoops run (36-22 current run) for over $7,700, on a 7-1 move in Hockey and 18-11 college football run.
