Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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 Under is 3-0 in the Thunder last 3 games.

- The Under is 4-2 in the Thunder last 6 home games.

- The total has gone Under in 2 of the Warriors last 3 versus OKC. 

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

Recommended Bet: Strasbourg +110

*Free Play Under* Northern Iowa is excellent at controlling the pace. I like their chances of winning this game, and I think if they play from the lead the under has a good chance here. This tournament has seen loads of unders in the last decade. Bradley is typically a defensive team under Wardle. Northern Iowa is the slowest paced team in the MVC. A battle all the way here with the defenses having the upper hand. Take the under.

(6-1 Last 7 plays. 2-0 last night. 61.5% CBB wins this season. Get on board Saturday!) 

Mississippi State has won seven of its last eight games against Georgia. Georgia is 4-1 in their last five games, scoring 80 or more points in all five. Mississippi State is riding a four-game losing streak, allowing 88 or more points in the losses. Georgia’s offense can be explosive and they are in better form right now.

Ohio State -4.5

The Buckeyes are worth a move as they host Indiana. Ohio State has caught fire at the right time. They have come up with some big wins, including one over Purdue in this stretch. They can add another huge win here and Indiana has dropped 4 of 5 coming into play. The Buckeyes will come out with a purpose and they’ve played much better at home as a whole. Lay the points.

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Cincinnati +2.5

The Cincinnati Bearcats are motivated to make the NCAA Tournament and playing their best basketball of the season to try and get in.  They are squarely on the bubble, and a road win at TCU here would likely cement their spot in the Big Dance.

Jizzle James (11.6 PPG) has missed 10 games this season, but they've been dominant with him in the lineup down the stretch.  The Bearcats have gone 6-1 SU & 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall with their lone loss coming on the road at Texas Tech.  They won by 16 at Kansas and by 29 at Kansas State, while also crushing UCF by 20, Oklahoma State by 23 and BYU by 22 at home.

TCU punched its ticket into the NCAA Tournament with a 73-65 upset road win at Texas Tech last time out.  That was a letdown spot for the Red Raiders coming off their huge win over Iowa State on the road, handing the Cyclones their first home loss of the season.  TCU took advantage.

But now this is the letdown spot for the Horned Frogs, who have been far from dominant at home (8-10 ATS) this season.  They have actually been a better bet on the road (9-3 ATS).  Wrong team favored here.  Bet Cincinnati Saturday.

1* Free Pick on UCLA -5½

UCLA comes into this rivalry showdown playing its best basketball of the season.
The Bruins have covered the spread in five of their last six games.

Their defense is the clear difference-maker in this spot.
UCLA currently ranks in the top 15 nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency.

They force teams into long possessions and late-clock contested shots.
USC is struggling to find any consistent offensive rhythm lately.

The Trojans are turning the ball over on nearly 20% of their possessions.
You cannot give extra chances to a team as disciplined as UCLA.

USC also has a major weakness defending the three-point line.
The Bruins are hitting over 38% from deep over the last month of play.

UCLA won the first meeting this year by double digits.
They dominated the paint and won the rebounding battle by a wide margin.

USC is just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against winning teams.
The Trojans simply do not have the size to match UCLA's length inside.

UCLA is grabbing offensive boards on 35% of their misses lately.
Those second-chance points will wear USC down in a rivalry setting.

The Bruins are 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to the Galen Center.
They have the veteran guards needed to handle a loud road environment.

This line is too short for the massive gap in execution.
Expect UCLA to pull away in the second half as the USC offense stalls out.

I like the UCLA -5.5 (-112).

I have 8 premium picks available for today’s action across the MLB and NCAA-B boards. My full card is now posted, featuring the top-rated analysis I've built my reputation on. You can review my complete list of daily and long-term premium packages on my profile.

1* NCAAB - Northwestern/Minnesota FREE PICK on Minnesota -2.5

Dave's Saturday Free Play:

1* on St. Louis -7

The Key: The St. Louis Billikens are a win away from winning the Atlantic 10 title outright.  They will show up with their best effort Saturday so they don't have to share it with VCU.  George Mason has been exposed down the stretch going 1-5 SU & 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games overall.  They lost by 18 at St. Joe's, by 19 at GW, by 12 at Richmond and by 15 at home to Dayton.  They are getting blown out of the regular and don't have the firepower offensively to keep up with the Billikens today.  Take St. Louis.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Magic/Timberwolves UNDER 227

This will be an early 3:10 EST start time and I like backing UNDERS in these early start time games in the NBA because teams aren't used to playing this early.  It takes them some time to get going.  The Magic remain without Franz Wagner and have gone for 221 or fewer points at the end of regulation in their last five games against playoff contenders.  They've gone for 225 or fewer at the end of regulation in 11 of their last 14 games.  The Timberwolves are 4-0 UNDER in their last four games with 227 or fewer combined points in all four contests.  Give me the UNDER.

1* Free Sharp Play on William & Mary -4½ -112

This is a play on the NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKS for our Saturday Free Play. This is the head scratching line of the night and we are going with the value. North Dakota easily took care of Denver on Friday in the Summit League tournament quarterfinals as it was getting 3.5 points and won by 16 points and now it is getting 12.5 points. On the flip side, St. Thomas was a 4.5-point favorite over 7-9 South Dakota St. and while it won by 13 points, the Tommies are now they are laying eight more points against a 10-6 team. The Fighting Hawks were getting 11.5 points at St. Thomas in the last meeting and won it outright and now they are getting a bigger number on a neutral floor and while that is a flag to actually take the favorite and the opposite move, not at a number this big in a conference tournament semifinal game. North Dakota is low in the metrics which is why the line is where it is with a lot of that due to half of their conference win by one possession. We are biting with the overpriced number.

North Carolina at Duke 6:30 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Tar Heels - How can this be? This is the highest point spread number between these this in…history (well maybe). Earlier this season Duke was favored at North Carolina and the Tar Heels pulled off the upset 71-68. Carolina has won their last four without freshman Caleb Wilson but looks like they will pay the price today. The Blue Devils are the best balanced in the ACC and that will show here and have won their last seven and are 16-1 in conference play. Revenge is sweet…take DUKE!  4

Saturday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Hawks -6.5

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 Villanova minus the points over Xavier at 12 noon et on Saturday.

Xavier took Villanova to overtime in their first meeting this season so the knee-jerk reaction may be to grab the generous helping of points with the Musketeers on Saturday. We'll go the other way and lay the points with the Wildcats noting that they own the considerably better overall record in this matchup this season despite the fact that the two teams have faced virtually identical strength-of-schedules. Xavier enters this game having allowed 29 or more made field goals in three straight and 28 or more in 11 of its last 12 contests. Meanwhile, Villanova has held five of its last eight opponents to 24 or fewer made field goals and has limited three of its last four foes to 53 or fewer field goal attempts. Take Villanova (8*).

For my best free pick on the board I am looking at college basketball and the Oregon Ducks hosting the Washington Huskies on senior night in Eugene. Oregon got absolutely woodshedded by this Washington team 72-57 just a little over a month ago. Washington just 4-8 on the road SU and Oregon 9-7 SU at home. With how bad this season has gone and Washington coming off a big blowout win versus a good USC team would should see the world here on the Huskies but not me I am backing the Ducks plus any points I can get here.
