Kyle Hunter
*Free Play on South Alabama* South Alabama's extended zone defense forces opponents to shoot a bunch of three pointers, and Southern Miss is third worst in the country in three point percentage. Southern Miss is likely to be frustrated by this South Alabama zone. South Alabama commits very few fouls and Southern Miss won't be able to rely on their free throw shooting as they have in many other games. I like the Jaguars to get a win here. Take South Alabama.

Free Play – Take #802 North Texas +2 over Memphis (9:00 p.m. ET, Thursday, Feb. 12)
What is college basketball doing? People will watch football for months on Thursday, but are left completely abandoned now that TNT no longer has Thursday Thunder and virtually no college power conferences play a game on this night? In theory, this is the marquee game of the night, 12-11 Memphis vs 13-11 North Texas. With NIL, Penny Hardaway can’t roll superior athletes who can overwhelm American Conference teams, he has to coach lesser talent, and it shows. The Tigers are 7-4 in the American, and the Mean Green is 4-7, yet Memphis is only favored by two points? North Texas just beat UTSA by 23 on the road to end a four-game losing streak. With this, I’ll take a shot with them as home teams like North Texas, when the line is +3 to -3, a good defensive team (63-67 PPG), against an average defensive team (67-74 PPG), after a blowout win by 20 points or more are 31-8 ATS.
DOUG UPSTONE is on a spectacular all-sports run of 93-60 (43-25 run) for over $2,000 profit! He’s a super 142-92 college hoops run (79-54 current run) for over $4,00 and on a 9-2 & 23-8 strong move in Hockey.

Ray Monohan
UNDER 239
Portland and Utah are worth a move to the under. Utah is off two very good defensive performances where they buckled down and even held the Kings to just 93 points. Portland has been about as inconsistent as they come and their struggles on the offensive end typically come in spurts. Both teams are going to go through droughts in this game and that bodes well for the under. 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 UNDER 239. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

William Burns
(#822) UC San Diego Tritons | ATS | .
UC Davis has surprised me a few times this season by putting together some strong outings. But, the Aggies have also struggled a lot in some situations. Coming off three consecutive wins now, I believe that UCD is getting overvalued by the oddsmakers in today's contest. The Aggies lost back at home against UCSD and now has to play it on the road.
Sometimes, it's hard to beat a team twice like this. However, the Tritons are well coached and resilient and I believe that the win against UCD earlier this season will end up helping down the stretch. While both teams have similar numbers offensive, UC San Diego shines on the defensive side of the ball. That will allow it to get the stops that it needs down the stretch. Lay the points.
Burns' Prediction: 80-66 UCSD.
Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Spanish LaLiga Take Villarreal over Getafe (10:15 a.m. EST, Saturday February 14) This series has been extremely one sided. Getafe hasn’t won in 14 meetings. Villarreal have nine outright wins in that span. They won 2-1 in their last visit here, and they have won four of the last six visits to Getafe with two draws. Villarreal is by far the stronger team. They have recently experienced a bad run of form. They lost four straight between Champions League and LaLiga action. But their last match indicates to us that they have regained their form, as they earned a resounding 4-1 win Monday over Espanyol. Espanyol was No. 6 on the table. Getafe is No. 18 of 20 LaLiga sides for home form this season. They have only 12 points at home in 11 home matches, and they have scored only eight goals here all season. Villarreal is one of the best road sides in LaLiga. They have earned 17 points in 10 road tilts, with five outright wins. We are getting a nice number here for the road side because of their inconsistent play recently, but we loved what we saw from this side on Monday and we are confident they will walk away with three points here.
Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Hawaii -12
The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are 17-5 this season. One of those wins came 98-71 at home over CS-Bakersfield on January 22nd just a few weeks ago. This despite shooting just 7-of-26 (26.9%) from 3-point range, yet they still won by 27. It should be another blowout in the rematch tonight.
Bakersfield has been a dumpster fire during its current 8-game losing streak. Five of its last six losses have come by 16 points or more. The Roadrunners have been blown out on the regular, largely due to losing two of their best players to injury.
CJ Hardy (13.7 PPG) has missed the past nine games while Jaden Alexander (9.4 PPG) has missed the past five games. The Roadrunners don't have enough talent or depth to be able to overcome these losses. Bet Hawaii Thursday.

Jimmy Boyd
1* Free Pick on Lindenwood -110
Lindenwood is the clear play in this OVC matchup.
The Lions are a much more disciplined team when they play in their own building.
They have won four of their last five at home while covering the number in all five.
UT Martin relies heavily on a high-tempo offense that often gets sloppy on the road.
The Skyhawks are currently averaging 15 turnovers per game in conference road matchups.
Lindenwood’s defense thrives on those mistakes by turning them into easy transition points.
The Lions do a great job of protecting the paint and forcing teams into contested jumpers.
UT Martin’s three-point percentage drops significantly when they leave their home floor.
They are shooting just 31% from deep on the road compared to 37% at home.
Lindenwood also has a massive advantage at the charity stripe tonight.
They get to the free-throw line at one of the highest rates in the OVC when playing at Hyland Arena.
The Skyhawks tend to foul frequently when they get tired in the second half of road games.
Lindenwood is coming off four days of rest and will have the fresher legs in the final ten minutes.
The Lions have been dominant on the defensive glass lately, limiting second-chance opportunities.
UT Martin will struggle to find a rhythm against a defense that forces them into half-court sets.
This is a classic spot where the home team’s efficiency outweighs the visitor’s raw talent.
Everything points to the Lions controlling the pace and grinding out a win.
Bet Lindenwood ML (-110).
I have eight premium selections posted for today's action across the NBA, NCAA-B, and the PGA. These plays represent my highest-conviction research for the current slate. You can find my full card of premium picks on my profile.

Dave Price
Dave's Thursday Free Play:
1* on Northern Iowa +5.5
The Key: The Northern Iowa Panthers are rolling right now going 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall with home wins over Evansville by 16 and Bradley by 12. They are coming off arguably the most impressive win in MVC play all season, crushing Murray State 89-60 as 4.5-point road dogs. They just got Tristan Smith (9.5 PPG) back from injury and are fully healthy now. The Panthers want to avenge their 78-65 home loss to Belmont in their first matchup. The Bruins shot an unsustainable 60% from the floor and 47.6% from 3 in that contest while the Panthers shot just 39% from the floor. The Bruins are coming off a 95-84 (OT) road loss at Bradley on Monday and have only 2 days in between games to record. Take Northern Iowa.

AAA Sports
AAA Sports' Selection: San Francisco Dons ATS.
Oregon State has not impressed this season in the WCC with 13 losses so far.
The Beavers are just 3-8 in road/neutral games this season not in their home arena.
They just lost by 20 against Gonzaga and could very well lose big again on Thursday.
San Francisco is much better than it's been playing lately in our opinions.
The Dons also have revenge on their minds after losing the first game this season.
We're on SF to continue it's February winning from recent years.
