Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Minnesota/Indiana UNDER 42

The Indiana Hoosiers are a dead nuts UNDER team this season.  Their defense is every bit as good as last year, but their offense has taken a big step back.  They have gone 3-0 UNDER in their last three games overall finishing with 37 combined points with Nebraska, 34 with Ohio State and 19 with Michigan in a game that was tied 6-6 at the end of regulation.

It was clear in the Michigan game that QB Josh Hoover is not right and playing through injury.  He got hurt late in the Ohio State game and missed some easy throws that cost them the win.  Hoover came back to go 8-of-18 for 81 yards with an interception last week against Michigan.  I don't think he'll be close to 100% this week, either.

Indiana ranks 3rd in scoring defense allowing 12.0 points per game, 8th in total defense allowing 264.8 yards per game and 2nd allowing 4.1 yards per play.  I fully expect the Hoosiers to shut down this suspect Minnesota offense this week, and to salt away the clock in the 2H with their running game just to get out of there with a win.

This is a very poor Minnesota offense and it has shown the last three weeks.  The Gophers managed just 262 yards and 4.0 per play against Michigan, 275 yards and 5.3 per play against a terrible Purdue defense, and 209 yards and 3.4 per play against Iowa.  In Big Ten play alone they are averaging just 18.3 points per game, 268.8 yards per game and 4.5 yards per play.

But this is a very talented Minnesota defense that I think can hold Indiana in check.  The Gophers are allowing 20.1 points per game and 4.9 yards per play while ranking 16th in total defense at 288.7 yards per game.  I don't see Indiana scoring more than 31, and I don't see Minnesota scoring more than 10.  So there is value with the UNDER 42 above the key of 41 this week.  Bet the UNDER in this game Saturday.

BAYLOR’S UNFAVORABLE LUCK FACTOR AND DECEPTIVE KANSAS LOSS CREATE AN INTERESTING ROAD UNDERDOG

Baylor enters Friday night’s Big 12 matchup following a frustrating 25-24 defeat against Kansas, but the final score does not tell the entire story.

The Bears had three field-goal attempts blocked, including a critical late attempt. Those special-teams failures directly affected the outcome and helped turn a competitive performance into a one-point defeat.

The result also led to a coaching change, with defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman taking over as interim head coach.

Baylor’s offense still has established playmakers. Quarterback DJ Lagway has thrown for 1,352 yards and nine touchdowns, while Gavin Freeman has 58 receptions for 678 yards.

The most compelling statistical consideration is the discrepancy between the teams’ Luck Ratings.

TeamRankings assigns Baylor a -0.8 Luck Rating compared with +0.1 for UCF.

That 0.9-point rating difference identifies Baylor as the more negatively rated team, although the figures are not themselves a projected point-spread advantage.

UCF is coming off a 39-31 double-overtime victory over BYU. Quarterback Keyone Jenkins threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns, but the Knights needed overtime to secure the victory.

Baylor has covered five of seven games this season, demonstrating greater competitiveness against market expectations than its 4-3 record alone suggests.

The available +2.5 gives the Bears an opportunity to cover in another competitive conference matchup.

Sunday's Free NFL Pick

PLAY ON: Vikings +3.5

1* NFL - Browns/Steelers FREE PICK on Browns +3.5

Seattle already is 2-0 versus Calgary this season. The games have not been close either. The Kraken have won 6-1 in each game both home and away.

Now Seattle is going for its fifth consecutive victory against the Flames. I see the Kraken getting it here.

Using a balanced attack, Seattle is the fifth highest scoring team in the NHL. Calgary, by contrast, ranks 27th in scoring.

Until losing to Edmonton, 4-0, this past Wednesday the Flames had won four in a row riding the hot goaltending of Devin Cooley.

However, Cooley suffered a lower body injury in that loss to the Oilers and is not expected to play for at least a couple of games.

That puts Dustin Wolf likely back in net for Calgary. Wolf is having a rough season with a 1-4 record, 3.75 goals against average and an .879 save percentage. Wolf is a fade and so are the Flames without Cooley. 

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.

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 under. The Under is 7-3 in Baylor last 10 games. The Under is 3-1 in Baylor last 4 road games. 

1* Free Pick on Oregon -3½

The market is selling Oregon at a discount because of one bad road trip, and I'll take the cheap price at Autzen.

Start with the ratings.

SP+ has Oregon 12th at 17 and Northwestern 20th at 13.7.

That gap alone covers most of this spread before you add home field.

At Autzen, this line should be closer to 6 than 3.5.

Why is it short?

Oregon got beat 21-10 at Illinois last week, and the market is reacting to it.

But this is the same team that went into USC and won 41-27 in September.

One road dud doesn't erase that.

The defense is the real story.

Oregon ranks 11th in SP+ defense and has allowed just 15.8 points a game over its last 5.

Northwestern's offense checks in 31st.

The Wildcats' 34.7 points a game this season came with Rutgers, Ball State and a down Penn State on the schedule.

Credit where due: Northwestern is 6-1 and the Penn State win was a 34-13 blowout.

But this is a program that went 3-6 through nine games last season.

The rebuild is real, the resume is soft, and Autzen is the toughest spot they've seen all year.

One note on the Ducks: Dan Lanning confirmed a D-line injury this week, saying "Yeah, so Matt is having surgery." Losing Matthew Johnson costs Oregon a rotation body up front.

It matters, but not 2.5 points worth.

Better team, better defense, home field, short number.

That's the whole case.

I like Oregon

1* FREE INFO PLAY Magic +6 -110

1* Free Sharp Play on Jets vs Panthers over 6 -103

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take #135 Illinois Fighting Illini over Maryland Terrapins (12 p.m., Saturday, October 31 FS1). I don’t expect Maryland to get much of a spark after firing Mike Locksley. With the remaining staff facing uncertain futures in College Park, keeping this team focused could be a challenge. Illinois still has a bowl berth within reach, and this matchup represents one of its best remaining opportunities to pick up a win. The Illini have won the last two meetings with Maryland, taking last year’s matchup 24-6 after a 27-24 road victory in 2023. Bret Bielema brings the experience to keep Illinois moving forward, and his team has won two straight against opponents stronger than the Maryland squad it faces today. Take the Fighting Illini.

Browns +3.5

The Browns are worth a free move on Sunday against the Steelers. It's a battle for first place in the AFC North and the Browns come in with all the confidence. They defeated the Steelers earlier this season in Cleveland and they have seen a revived Deshaun Watson at QB. He continues to lead game winning drives and the defense is up for the task against this Steelers offense. They caused a lot of issues for Aaron Rodgers earlier this year and they're going to blitz him all night long. With the offense of Cleveland far more threatening now, they have a chance to make life miserable Sunday for Pittsburgh. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the BROWNS +3.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

The Patriots enter Sunday’s matchup at Hard Rock Stadium at 4-3, averaging 22.9 points per game while allowing 20.4. Miami stands at 1-5, scoring 16.3 while allowing 26.2. Both sides have already shown stretches of competence, and a 7-point road number against a bottom-tier offense is not a tax when the favorite holds the clearer path through efficiency and the opponent has already given up volume. The market has not priced a blowout. The short number is the work.

New England generates looks through Drake Maye’s primary creation and secondary options that have already converted at an efficient rate. They control the ball on the ground in spots and force the defense into coverage when the run game is established. Miami’s early metrics place them near the bottom of the league on both sides of the ball. Their run game (Ollie Gordon) has produced relative volume, but the overall efficiency has not kept pace. The challenge for the Dolphins is containing a primary creator who can score at multiple levels while also generating open looks for the secondary options. Miami’s defensive rating has already allowed points in bunches, and the sample against sustained creation remains limited.

Player-to-player, the gap favors New England. Maye is averaging 254.9 passing yards per game with 13 touchdowns and an efficiency edge (96.4 rating, 8.3 yards per attempt). He has already produced multiple high-volume outings, including 374 yards and four touchdowns against Las Vegas. Malik Willis has been inconsistent (176.2 yards per game, 4 touchdowns, 77.1 rating) and has taken volume in sacks. Rhamondre Stevenson provides New England with a consistent ground option that forces the defense to account for both the run and the play-action. Gordon gives Miami a relative strength on the ground, but the secondary options have not yet converted at a rate that matches the Patriots’ efficiency. When the primary creator draws attention, New England’s secondary targets have already shown they can finish. Miami has not yet limited a balanced attack at this level for a full game.

Road favorites of 7 points or fewer facing an opponent ranked 25th or worse in points scored have covered at a 28-16 rate (63.6%) since the early 2010s. At even money, 28 wins and 16 losses equates to +12.0 units and a 27.3% ROI. The average margin in those situations has been +8.1 points. Efficiency against a soft front has been the decisive factor.

Teams averaging 20 or more points per game with a defensive rating inside the top 15 have covered as road favorites of 7 or fewer at a 25-15 rate (62.5%) when facing an opponent outside the top 20 in points scored. At even money, that record is +10.0 units and a 25.0% ROI. The short number has been the cleaner side when the favorite holds the usage edge and the opponent’s early metrics have not yet been tested against sustained secondary creation.

The 7-point line does not require the Patriots to dominate. It requires them to avoid a late collapse in a game the market has framed as competitive. A move to 7.5 or higher significantly reduces the value. Shop the lower number if it is available. Starter confirmation is advised before kickoff, particularly with any late injury developments on either side. Any significant limitation on the primary creator or a major rotation shift can alter the cover probability. The short road number remains the position.

My selection is on the 'under' between Atlanta and Tampa Bay at 1 pm et on Sunday.

The Buccaneers exploded for 43 points in last week's rout of the Panthers but that performance had more to do with a litany of Carolina mistakes and injury attrition on its defense than anything else. I still think this is a limited Tampa Bay offense, even with QB Baker Mayfield back at the helm. Defensively, the Bucs can hang. We saw that even when they were losing their first four games to open the season. Meanwhile, the Falcons have an underrated defense that just held San Francisco to 20 points in last week's 'upset' victory. In this familiar matchup on the road, I expect Atlanta's defense to hold up well. Even in home games where the Bucs did have Mayfield earlier in the season they still averaged just 5.3 and 4.2 yards per play against Cleveland and Minnesota. Take the under (8*).

Marc David's NBA Free Pick

We really like underdog in this matchup. The Bulls (1-4) are 3-2 against the spread and showed real fight Wednesday, leading the Knicks by 19 before falling 133-127 after hitting 18 of 42 from three. They've been competitive more often than their record shows.

The Celtics (3-1) are just 2-2 against the spread. They needed a buzzer-beater in overtime to get past the winless Nets on Tuesday, shooting 27% from three in a game their coach said they'd treat like a loss. Now they're laying more than two touchdowns in the rematch of a game they won by 35 earlier this week, and they're without Devin Carter (illness).

Boston's blowout Monday has this number inflated, and asking them to win by this number is too much. 

This is a FREE PLAY on the BULLS ATS.

Charlotte +9.5 looks like the right side here.

Tulane is 0-3 on the road this year and just got wrecked at home by UTSA (42-19, six turnovers). Charlotte comes off a bye after its first win of the season (38-31 at Temple) with some real offensive life. The line has already come down a bit, and the 49ers have been decent covering as bigger dogs. Both teams score around 20 points a game, so this doesn’t figure to get away from Charlotte at home. I’m not banking on the upset, but the points while the bulk of the bettors are on the other side is the right call. 

Play on the Charlotte 49ers plus the points rotation #116 +9.5
