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.

- Virginia is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.

- Virginia is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Coast conference.

- Virginia is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games when playing as the favourite.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

Notre Dame +17.5

Notre Dame has value here catching a lot of points. This is a let down spot for Duke after beating #1 Michigan this past weekend. Now, they have to go down to a much lesser opponent. They also have a date with number 11 Virginia looming next time out and will certainly have one eye on that game. Fade the Blue Devils as this game should stay within the number. 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 IRISH +17.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

*Free Play Under* There are loads of fast paced teams in the SEC this year. It's one of the fastest paced conferences in the country. That makes teams who who like to slow it down like Tennessee and Missouri struggle to find a partner to play slower with. They finally have that chance in this one. 

Tennessee is always a defensive minded team under Rick Barnes. Missouri is playing slower in recent weeks. The Vols length makes them a tough matchup for the Missouri offense.

Take the under here.

1* Free Pick on Iowa State/Utah: over 142½

Iowa State is the best three-point shooting team in the Big 12 right now.
They are hitting nearly 40% from beyond the arc as a unit.
Milan Momcilovic is the spearhead of that attack.
He is shooting over 50% from deep and scoring 17.5 points per game.
Utah has no answer for that kind of perimeter efficiency.
The Utes’ defensive rotations have been slow all month.
They just gave up 73 points to UCF and 91 to BYU in recent weeks.
Utah is also thin in the frontcourt with Babacar Faye out for the season.
That lack of rim protection will let Iowa State’s guards get into the paint at will.
On the other side, Utah has a high-volume scorer in Terrence Brown.
Brown is averaging over 20 points per game and can carry an offense by himself.
He has scored 20 or more points in 16 different games this season.
Iowa State has a top-tier defense, but they just allowed 79 points to BYU on Saturday.
The Cyclones play at a faster pace on the road where they are more susceptible to shootouts.
The total in Iowa State’s last game flew past this number to reach 148.
Utah’s last outing also cleared 140 despite both teams struggling from the field.
Iowa State ranks 17th nationally in offensive efficiency and they will exploit this 10-17 Utah team.
The Utes are desperate to snap a four-game home losing streak and will push the tempo to keep up.
We are getting a discount on this total because of Iowa State's defensive reputation.
The reality is their elite shooting and Utah’s defensive lapses make this a high-scoring matchup.

Bet Over 142.5 (-110).

The Tuesday Comp play is on Miami Ohio at 6:30 eastern. The Red hawks are on a historic run in MAC Play and are perched at the top with a 27-0 record. Tonight they travel to take on a 10-18 Eastern Michigan squad playing out the string, having lost 9 of 10. Rob notes that road favorites that are 25-0 or better and have less than 5 days rest in game 30 or less are 8-0 with 7 spread wins and a push. Miami Ohio has won and covered 4 of 5 in the series but did lose here as a road favorite last year so they will be focused. Look for Miami Ohio to pull away late and get another cover here.

This is a play on the TROY TROJANS for our Tuesday Free Play. The Sun Belt Conference is wide open as seven teams are within a game and a half of each other including Troy which is tied with Marshall and South Alabama for second place, a half-game behind Appalachian St. The Trojans were in prime position to run the table as they were 9-3 going into the MAC-SBC Challenge but have dropped three of their last four conference games including a loss at South Alabama on Saturday which would have given them the tiebreaker sweep. Now they need to win out and hope Appalachian St. loses at Texas St. in its season finale on Friday to have a shot at the coveted No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament as those two teams get a bye all the way through to the semifinals. Louisiana has been all over the place as it is now 7-9 following a win over Texas St. in its final home game of the season and is back on the road where it is 3-11 with two wins by three points each and the other against dreadful Louisiana-Monroe. Troy is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage of .400 or worse, winning those games by an average 16.6 ppg. Play (636) Troy Trojans

Sports Analytics 401: NCAA Basketball Conference Algorithm – Bulls vs Hornets Case Study 

Algorithm Performance Overview 

This NCAA basketball betting algorithm has demonstrated strong results, compiling a 41-24 straight-up (SU) record for a 63% win rate, and a 44-20-1 against-the-spread (ATS) mark, equating to a 69% winning percentage since 2021. 

Qualifying Criteria 

Bet on any team facing a conference foe, but in a non-divisional matchup. 

The opponent is playing their third game with just two days of rest. 

The opponent is coming off a road win over a divisional foe. 

Enhanced Success When Hosting as Favorite 

When the host team is priced as the favorite, the algorithm delivers even more impressive results: a 19-5 SU record (79%) and a 16-7-1 ATS performance for 70% winning bets since 2021. 

Predictive Model Insights 

The predictive model projects that the Bulls will score 115 points, shoot at least 46% from the field, and outperform the Hornets in shooting percentage. Historically, since 2017—when NBA scoring began its rapid ascent—the Bulls have compiled a stellar 133-26 SU record and a 135-22-2 ATS record, translating to an 86% winning rate. Furthermore, over this period, they have achieved a 38-12 SU mark (76%) and an extraordinary 46-4 ATS record for a 92%-win rate in qualifying scenarios. 

Take: 508. Hawks -13 (4:40 PT / 7:40 ET)

Atlanta draws Washington at State Farm Arena, and the Wizards have been one of the league’s weakest road teams. The Hawks’ scoring depth and ability to control pace should overwhelm a Washington defense that has struggled all season. Atlanta is positioned to cover comfortably at home.

Tuesday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Pelicans +1.5

In the whirlwind of spring training baseball, where underdogs thrive amid experimental lineups and rusty arms, the St. Louis Cardinals stand out as a sharp plus-money pick, around +110 on the moneyline, to upset the Washington Nationals today, building on their 2-0 start with a .285 team batting average and pitchers allowing just 4.5 runs per game, a formula poised to exploit Washington's 4.67 staff ERA despite the Nats' flashy 3-0 record fueled by blowouts rather than consistency.

Betting angles scream value here, as road underdogs in early exhibition matchups have cashed 54% over the last three preseasons against home favorites, especially when both teams enter unbeaten, with St. Louis' offense slugging .450 against righties and capitalizing on late-inning bullpen weaknesses, while trends show teams on two-game win streaks covering 60% as dogs versus perfect foes, amplified by the Cardinals' 7-3 mark in recent spring road tilts and Washington's 2-4 skid against NL Central squads in preseason play.

For bettors chasing edges, this Cardinals outright win blends momentum, stats like the Nats' four walks per game against St. Louis' low 18% strikeout rate, and proven upset patterns, delivering a potent, value-packed punch in a game where home-field myths crumble under managerial tinkering

Cards to win +109

Futures watch : Prop mania Issue 1 - Alex Smart Sports

The Los Angeles Dodgers, coming off consecutive World Series triumphs, stand as the clear frontrunners in the futures market, leveraging their unmatched depth in both hitting and pitching, while trends show that teams with elite rotations, like theirs, have dominated recent postseasons, winning over 60 percent of playoff series in the last five years. Their acquisition of Kyle Tucker adds even more firepower to an offense that led the league in slugging percentage last season, creating a betting angle where heavy favorites often deliver value early in the offseason, before injuries or slumps shift the odds, and stats reveal they've averaged 102 wins over the past three campaigns, underscoring their consistency against tough National League competition. Bettors eyeing the Dodgers for another title should note the historical trend of repeat champions, with only a handful succeeding in the modern era, yet their roster stability positions them well against emerging challengers.

In the American League, the New York Yankees emerge as a strong contender, building on a core that includes Aaron Judge, who smashed 58 home runs last year, and a bullpen that ranked second in ERA, providing a solid angle for futures wagers on teams with proven closers, as such squads have captured the pennant in four of the last six seasons. Trends indicate that AL East powerhouses, like the Yankees, benefit from high-scoring home games at Yankee Stadium, where they've won 55 percent of their contests over the past decade, making them a reliable pick against divisional rivals, though offseason uncertainties in their starting rotation could introduce volatility, and stats show they've outscored opponents by an average of 1.2 runs per game in recent years. For value seekers, the Seattle Mariners offer an intriguing angle, emphasizing a pitching staff that led the majors in strikeouts last season, with trends favoring arms-heavy teams in the AL West, where low-scoring affairs have hit the under in 52 percent of divisional matchups, positioning them as a dark horse for the pennant.

Shifting to divisional races, the Detroit Tigers present a compelling case in the AL Central, bolstered by a revamped rotation featuring Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, who combined for over 400 strikeouts last year, creating a betting trend where teams with top-tier starters have won the division in seven of the last ten seasons, and their improved run differential from last year's -50 to a projected positive shift highlights their ascent. Angles point to fading the Cleveland Guardians, whose offense ranked near the bottom in OPS, struggling to score in key spots, with stats showing they were shut out in 15 games last season, more than any other AL contender, making them vulnerable in a strengthening division. In the NL Central, the Pittsburgh Pirates emerge as a sleeper, driven by young ace Paul Skenes, who fanned batters at a 12.5 per nine innings clip in his rookie year, aligning with trends of breakout pitchers propelling teams to unexpected success, as seen in recent wildcard runs, and their offseason additions to a lineup that finished dead last in home runs provide a clear upgrade, potentially flipping their third-worst batting average into a competitive edge.

For teams poised to surpass last year's performances, consider the Oakland Athletics, who bolstered their roster with key veterans, tapping into a trend where relocated or rebranded squads often see a 10 percent win increase in transitional seasons, backed by stats from their improved bullpen that cut late-inning blown leads by half, offering an angle for bettors hunting undervalued squads in the AL West. Similarly, the Los Angeles Angels, with additions like Julio Rodriguez and Alek Manoah, align with betting patterns favoring teams that address pitching woes, as they've historically bounced back from sub-.500 records when adding high-upside arms, and their offense, which ranked in the top ten for runs scored at home, could propel them beyond recent mediocrity. Contrarian plays might target unders on high-expectation teams like the Dodgers, where injury trends have plagued star-laden rosters, with stats indicating a 15 percent drop in wins during seasons with multiple IL stints for key players.

Player awards futures add another layer, with Tarik Skubal drawing attention for AL Cy Young honors, given his league-leading 2.39 ERA and 232 strikeouts last season, fitting a trend where arbitration winners often elevate their games, and angles suggest betting on pitchers from improving teams, as they've claimed the award in five straight years. In the NL, Shohei Ohtani's two-way dominance, including 59 home runs and a sub-3.00 ERA as a pitcher, positions him as a MVP staple, with stats showing dual-threat players have won the honor in three of the last four seasons, creating a low-risk angle for futures enthusiasts. Rookies like Samuel Basallo from the Orioles offer long-shot value, tapping into trends of Baltimore prospects hitting .280 or better in debuts, bolstered by a farm system that has produced multiple award winners recently.

Overall, the 2026 MLB futures landscape rewards bettors who focus on pitching depth and youthful infusions, as trends from the past decade show such teams outperforming in October, with stats emphasizing run prevention over pure power, and angles like divisional underdogs with offseason upgrades providing the best edges before spring training shakes up the board.

My selection is on Washington minus the points over Rutgers at 6:30 pm et on Tuesday.

I can understand why some bettors would look to grab the points with Rutgers in this matchup. After all, Washington is a long way from home, mired in a losing season, and might have a difficult time getting up for this Tuesday matchup with the Scarlet Knights, in theory at least. However, I'll note that the Huskies own the better overall record in this matchup this season and have faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics this season. Washington enters playing well defensively having held four straight and six of its last eight opponents to 25 or fewer made field goals. Meanwhile, the wheels have come off defensively for Rutgers as it has been blitzed for 26 or more made field goals in seven of its last eight and 12 of its last 14 contests. Over that stretch it allowed five different opponents to connect on 30+ field goals. Look for this one to get away from the Scarlet Knights. Take Washington (8*).

Knicks vs Cavaliers NBA Free Pick

1* Bet on Texas Tech -5½

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday in the NBA I am looking at the New Orleans Pelicans hosting the Golden State Warriors. Warriors with a huge win on Sunday over the Denver Nuggets and that should catapult bettors toward this team here on Tuesday but for me I liked what I saw from the New Orleans Pelicans against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday and that hard nosed play I believe will carry over here. Golden State overall has been a dumpster fire and no reason this team should ever lay points on the road.

Play on the New Orleans Pelicans plus the points rotation #512
