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.

My selection is on Utah over Minnesota at 9:05 pm et on Tuesday.

The Wild always seem to draw plenty of money from bettors and Tuesday will be no different as they wrap up their five-game road trip in Salt Lake City. Minnesota does enter this game off consecutive wins in Seattle and Vancouver but takes a step up in class against the Mammoth here. Utah is 4-1 on home ice this season and comes off two full days of rest following an overtime win at home against the Lightning. This game presents an opportunity for the Mammoth to build some positive momentum before heading east for the start of a six-game road trip. Take Utah (8*).

Canucks vs Ducks NHL Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Vancouver Canucks' defense has completely unraveled during a 10-game winless skid, allowing 44 goals over that stretch, or 4.4 per game. They've been finding the net at a decent clip though, and they now face an Anaheim Ducks team that won five of its first six games by scoring three or more goals.

Anaheim has issues of its own in the crease, with Lukas Dostal posting a rough save % and the Ducks as a team allowing 3.5 goals per game. The Ducks also return home from a five-game road trip after a 5-4 win in Philadelphia. With two shaky goaltending situations and two teams giving up chances in bunches, I expect a back-and-forth game that clears this number. 

The Bet: Over (3%).

Free Play – Take #16 Utah -110 over Minnesota (9:07 p.m. ET, Tuesday, October 27)

Situational Play. Minnesota is 2-2 on their five-game road trip, but this is the fifth contest in eight days. Utah has not played since Saturday and has won five of seven and is 4-1 at home. The line suggests the two teams are basically even, and one can make the case the Wild have the better goalie. But Utah is 5-2 against Minnesota while having a decided edge in rest, with their style of play hard for foes with tired legs. Plus, the total of 6.5 is something that would favor how Mammoth likes to play.

PSP Data Driven 1* Over.

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 Over. The Over is 5-3 in the Canucks last 8 head to head meetings. The Canucks are 4-0 in the last 4 head to head meetings on the road.

Both teams are undefeated to start the season. The Blazers are a little banged up as they will be without Chris Youngblood and Shaedon Sharpe, while Branden Carlson and Scoot Henderson are both listed as questionable. The Lakers will be without Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero. Doncic is coming off a 52-point game, and the team has been playing better. The Blazers are dealing with injuries, and this will be their first test this season.
