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.
- West Virginia is 17-3 SU in its last 20 games at home.
- Central Florida is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games against West Virginia.
- West Virginia is 5-3 SU in their last 8 games.
Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

OVER 6
Vegas and Minnesota have value to the over. Vegas has been one of the quickest teams in the league and they average 3.29 gpg while giving up over 3 defensively. Minnesota is right there offensively at 3.31 gpg and they love to pepper the net. This will be a fast paced game where both teams look to work for multiple rebounds. Expect plenty of scoring chances and for this to be a wide open game as it goes on. 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 OVER 6. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Indiana Pacers +9.5
This is a very tough spot for the Los Angeles Lakers. They just played in altitude last night in Denver and lost 120-113. The Lakers will not only be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back, but their 5th game in 7 days as well.
Four starters played at least 32 minutes for the Lakers last night. LeBron James suffered an elbow injury while De'Andre Ayton suffered a knee injury last night, leaving their status for this game in doubt.
The Pacers are as healthy as they have been since the All-Star Break with Siakam, Nesmith and Nembhard all back and expected to play. It's the ultimate 'buy low' spot on the Pacers after going 0-7 SU & 0-7 ATS since the break.
They will be playing just their 2nd game in 5 days and stayed in LA after facing the Clippers, so they will be rested and ready to go. The Lakers have just one win by more than 8 points over the Pacers in their last 16 meetings. Bet the Pacers Friday.

This is a play on the SETON HALL PIRATES for our Friday Free Play. St. John’s biggest storyline this season was its 13-game winning streak that did include an impressive win over Connecticut but that was at home and the overall resume is pretty unimpressive. The Red Storm went 7-4 in the nonconference with the best win coming against Baylor way back in November and the only other two wins of significance on the entire schedule were a pair of wins over Villanova. St. John’s is an impressive 8-1 on the road with the loss coming against Connecticut in the revenge rematch and aside from Villanova, the other road wins were not good. Seton Hall remains on the bubble and can get a quality Quad 1 win here with St. John’s sitting No. 22 in the NET Rankings. The Pirates do have a pair of close losses against Connecticut by nine points combined and the first meeting with St. John’s resulted in a five-point road loss and while it might be dramatic to say their season is on the line tonight, that is the reality of it.

Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take Seton Hall over St. John’s (9p.m., Friday, March 6 FS1) A share of the regular season Big East Championship will be on the line tonight when St. John’s drives across state lines to face Seton Hall. The Pirates took the Huskies to the wire last Saturday and I see them taking this game down to the wire as well. Seton Hall will be playing for a first-round bye in the conference tournament next week with a win. This was just a 5-point game at the Garden earlier this year and I do not believe the Red Storm are great on either side of the floor. Take the point in this game. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring top plays in basketball, hockey, soccer, and other sports. Sign-up now and let 54 years of handicapping experience work for you.

In the bustling world of mixed martial arts betting, where underdogs often deliver the most thrilling payouts, Cody Garbrandt emerges as a compelling choice against Long Xiao this Saturday, March 7, at plus-130 odds, offering savvy bettors a chance to capitalize on a veteran fighter's proven skills amid shifting trends in the bantamweight division. Garbrandt, boasting a professional record of 14 wins and 7 losses, brings a wealth of experience from his days as a former champion, his striking landing at a 39 percent accuracy rate, while absorbing fewer blows per minute compared to many in his weight class, which could prove crucial against an opponent known for aggressive forward pressure. Recent betting patterns show that underdogs in prelim bouts have cashed in around 40 percent of the time over the last two years, particularly when facing prospects with high-volume striking but vulnerabilities in defense, a scenario that aligns perfectly with this matchup, as Garbrandt's quick hands and counterpunching have historically dismantled fighters who overcommit early.
Delving deeper into the angles, Garbrandt's boxing pedigree stands out, honed through years of high-level competition, allowing him to exploit gaps in aggressive styles like Xiao's, who averages 5.25 significant strikes per minute but has shown susceptibility in recent unanimous decision losses, including one where he outstruck his foe yet failed to secure the win. With both men standing at 5 feet 8 inches, Xiao holds a 5-inch reach advantage at 70 inches to Garbrandt's 65, yet statistics reveal that such edges often diminish against boxers who close distance effectively, as Garbrandt has done in his 60 percent knockout rate among victories, turning the tide in chaotic exchanges. Betting trends further favor this upset potential, with veterans over 30 years old bouncing back in 35 percent of underdog spots against younger talents in the 135-pound class, especially when the favorite has a bloated record padded by decisions rather than finishes, much like Xiao's 27-10 ledger that includes only 5 knockouts despite his volume.
As the fight approaches , bettors should consider the intangible factors, such as Garbrandt's motivation following back-to-back setbacks, contrasted with Xiao's youth at 27 years old, which brings energy but also inexperience in big-stage prelims, where crowd energy and pace can overwhelm. Historical data from similar clashes indicates that when a former titleholder faces a rising star with a striking differential, the underdog prevails more often than odds suggest, particularly if the bout stays standing, where Garbrandt's 2.88 strikes landed per minute mask his efficiency in bursts that lead to stoppages. This pick isn't just about raw numbers, though, it's about recognizing value in a line that undervalues resilience, making Garbrandt's path to victory through sharp counters and veteran savvy a bet worth pursuing in a division ripe for surprises.

My selection is on Dayton minus the points over VCU at 7 pm et on Friday.
Dayton will be out for 'revenge' on Friday after it dropped a 99-73 decision in the first meeting between these two teams this season. Since the, the Flyers have rattled off six straight wins, going 5-1 ATS along the way. They've been locked-in defensively, holding each of their last six opponents to 23 or fewer made field goals. I think they're well-positioned to end the regular season on a high note at home, noting that VCU has had a fairly firm ceiling on its offense in recent months, connecting on 30+ field goals just once (that was against Dayton) going all the way back to December 31st. The Flyers generally play at a slow pace, but they do figure to get their scoring opportunities against a Rams squad that has yielded 60+ field goal attempts in seven of their last nine games. Finally, we'll note that while VCU owns the slightly better overall record in this matchup this season, Dayton has faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. Take Dayton (8*).

For my best free college basketball play here on Friday I am looking at the UCF Knights at the West Virginia Mountaineers. West Virginia fresh off an embarrassing bruising loss to Kansas State and UCF has covered 3 of the last 5 and has the much better record will be very attractive at plus points here. Head to head West Virginia just handled this UCF team on their home court. Look for the West Virginia defense to be the deciding factor in this big game here Friday night.
