The Michigan State Spartans are ranked #7 with a 18-2 record. MSU has been on fire, going 9-1 over their last 10, and they have won seven in a row. The Spartans are putting up 79.1 points per game. They are coming off a 91-48 win over Maryland. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 9-11 this season. They have gone just 4-6 over their last ten games and have lost three in a row. The Scarlet Knights are 8-4 on their home court. They are coming off an 82-59 loss to Indiana. The Michigan State Spartans are 12-8 against the spread on the season. Rutgers has covered the spread in eight games. MSU has been blowing inferior teams out and will happen again in this one. This could be a look-ahead game against MSU, as they play Michigan on Friday. Izzo will not allow them to be distracted for this game.
Play on MSU. This is a 3% play.

Free Play – Take #605 Nebraska +10.5 over Michigan (7:00 p.m. ET, Tuesday, Jan. 27)
One of the last remaining unbeaten teams will face its toughest test of the season when No. 5 Nebraska visits No. 3 Michigan in a Big Ten Conference game on Tuesday. The visiting Cornhuskers are 20-0 (12-8 ATS) hold the nation's longest active win streak at 24 games, dating back to last season. They have their best AP ranking in school history and best start in conference play since going 10-0 in the Big Eight in 1965-66. Michigan is 18-1 (9-10 ATS) and has won four straight games since its only loss, a home defeat to Wisconsin on Jan. 10. My initial thought was the Cornhuskers with the Wolverines having not covered in six straight outings. However, the total has risen from 153.5 to 156. If you look at the average conference scores of the two teams, Michigan is 159 and Nebraska is at 142. The oddsmakers are forecasting a quicker pace, which favors the Wolverines, and I’ll side with the book's lead.
DOUG UPSTONE is a super 116-74 college hoops run (55-36 current run) for over $3,300, on a 13-6 strong move in Hockey, 5-2 in the NBA and a 50-35 all sports run (+$1,300).

Dave's Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Virginia -9.5
The Key: The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are lost without leading scorer Markus Burton (18.5 PPG). They have lost 5 of their last 6 and are 0-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Their last 4 losses all came by 12 points or more. Virginia is 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games with 4 wins by 9 points or more. That includes wins and covers in its 3 road games at NC State, Louisville and SMU. This is a big step down in competitive for the Cavaliers, and they should win this game by double-digits with no problem tonight. Take Virginia.

Jimmy Boyd
1* Free Pick on Ohio +7½
The number for this MAC rivalry is simply too high.
Ohio is catching 7.5 points in a matchup they have historically dominated at the betting window.
The Bobcats are a staggering 7-2-1 against the spread in their last 10 meetings with Kent State.
The Golden Flashes are in a major "fatigue spot" tonight.
They are coming off a grueling double-overtime win against Eastern Michigan this past Saturday.
That follows another overtime battle against Miami-Ohio just four days prior to that.
Kent State has played a ton of high-intensity basketball over the last week and their legs will be heavy in the second half.
The betting market hasn't adjusted to Kent State’s recent inability to cover.
The Flashes are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five games overall.
They are also struggling to separate from conference opponents, with their last three games decided by six points or fewer.
Ohio has some defensive vulnerabilities, but they play at a pace that keeps them within striking distance.
They rank near the top of the conference in effective field goal percentage and free-throw shooting.
In a game that should be played in the mid-70s, getting nearly three full possessions of cushion is a gift.
Kent State may find a way to win this game at home, but they don't have the energy to run away with it.
The Bobcats are battle-tested and should keep this within two buckets until the final whistle.
I like the Ohio +7.5 (-110)

Sharks -120
San Jose is the move here. The Sharks have had a decent month and they’re doing it with their ability to attack the net. They’re putting up over 3 gpg and they have shown they can score in flurries. Vancouver has just 1 win this month and are in an absolute free fall right now. This is a great spot to fade the Canucks once again. Back San Jose. 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.

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday I am looking at the Michigan Wolverines hosting the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Now as I have said a million times its not always the contrarian play that the side of the dog tonight game is a perfect example as undefeated 20-0 Nebraskas is getting double digits here against 1 loss Michigan. Michigan has missed the cover in 5 straight while public darling Nebraska has covered 5 of the last 6 games. Huge opportunity here as this should be a premium but I’m gonna share this one with everyone.
Play on Michigan minus the points rotation #606

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Los Angeles Clippers -8
The Los Angeles Clippers are 15-3 SU & 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games overall. Now they take on a Utah Jazz team that is already showing signs of tanking with all the key players they are resting on a nightly basis.
The Jazz are coming off a 31-point home loss to the Heat which followed up a 17-point home loss to the Spurs. They are 1-6 SU in their last seven games overall with each of their last five losses coming by 13 points or more. They have rarely been competitive.
Now the Jazz will sit Keyonte George (24.2 PPG, 6.6 APG), who is one of the most improved players in the NBA. They will also sit Jusuf Nurkic (11.2 PPG, 10.2 RPG, 5.0 APG), who is going through one of the best stretches of his career with three consecutive triple-doubles. Lauri Markkanen returns tonight, but he'll probably be on a minutes restriction.
The Clippers are pretty rested playing just their 2nd game in 5 days. They also have two days off after this. I know Kawhi Leonard is questionable, but he has been questionable the past two games and played in both. This line will go up several points if he's ruled in. Bet the Clippers Tuesday.
Jeff Alexander
1* CBB - Nebraska/Michigan FREE PICK on Nebraska +10.5
John Martin
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Vanderbilt -6.5
Vanderbilt lost three straight against a brutal schedule with road losses to Texas and Arkansas and a home loss to Florida. The Commodores bounced back with a 88-56 road win at Mississippi State over the weekend, and now they will make easy work of Kentucky at home tonight. Kentucky is getting respect due to its 5-game winning streak, but the Wildcats have gone just 2-3 ATS during this stretch against a much softer schedule. The two road wins came by a combined 3 points in dramatic comebacks from double-digits down against Tennessee and LSU. They won't be so fortunate here against this Vanderbilt squad that is much better. The Commodores are 9-1 at home this season and winning by 22.4 points per game. Give me Vanderbilt.

This is a play on the GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS for our Tuesday Free Play. Georgia Tech is coming off a blowout loss at home against Clemson by 14 points as it caught the Tigers at a horrible time having their nine-game winning streak snapped in overtime against NC State. The Yellow Jackets are now 2-5 in the ACC while playing a rather tough schedule but they do have two suspect losses against Syracuse and Pittsburgh at home but the highway is where we want them. While Georgia Tech may be 1-3 on the road, it has been very competitive as it lost to Georgia and Duke by five and six points respectively while staying within the 15.5 points at Miami with the win coming at NC State as 17.5-point underdog. The Yellow Jackets are one of only five teams that are undefeated against the number on the road, ironically one of those is Virginia Tech. The Hokies are a fringe bubble team as they are No. 52 in the NET Rankings and come in 15-6 overall and 4-4 in the conference. They are laying a big number at home and they are right at .500 against the number as favorites and this is a tough spot to make margin with a home game against Duke on deck.

Tuesday's NBA Free Pick

Alex Smart
Tonight's NBA slate features a compelling Western Conference matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz, in Salt Lake City. While the Clippers enter as substantial road favorites, the real value in this game lies in the over/under line, which sits around the mid-230s across the board. Bettors eyeing the total should lean toward the over, as several key trends and statistical angles point to a higher-scoring affair driven by Utah's defensive vulnerabilities and both teams' recent offensive outputs.
The Jazz have struggled mightily on the defensive end this season, allowing a league-worst 127.8 points per game, which ranks dead last in the NBA. This glaring weakness is exacerbated at home, where they've gone over the total in 18 of their last 24 games, showcasing a consistent inability to contain opponents. As home underdogs in the 5-to-10.5-point range,a spot they find themselves in tonight—the over has hit in 21 of their last 28 such contests, a robust 75% clip that highlights how oddsmakers often undervalue the scoring potential against Utah's porous interior defense. The Jazz surrender 16.2 second-chance points per game, tied to their 12th-worst rebound rate, allowing foes ample opportunities to capitalize on offensive boards. With potential frontcourt absences due to illness, including key rebounders who combine for over 17 boards per night, this rebounding edge could tilt even further toward the Clippers, fueling extra possessions and points in the paint, where both teams average over 46 points per game.
On the flip side, the Clippers bring a balanced attack that averages 112.6 points per game, bolstered by efficient shooting at 55.4% effective field goal percentage. They've been particularly potent lately, winning eight of their last nine and posting scores of 126, 112, 110, and higher in recent outings, often exploiting mismatches inside. When facing teams that allowed 100 or more points in their previous game,a scenario the Jazz fit after recent defensive lapses, the over has cashed in all five of the Clippers' last such matchups. Utah's own offense isn't slouch either, pouring in 119 points per game (fifth in the league) with a high-volume approach, ranking eighth in field goal attempts at 90.7 per contest and seventh in true shooting percentage at .656. This offensive firepower has contributed to the over hitting in 15 of their last 21 Tuesday games, adding a quirky but profitable angle for bettors.
Head-to-head history further bolsters the case for a shootout, with seven of the last 10 meetings between these squads sailing over the total, including blowouts like 129-108 and 130-110 that showcased fast-paced, high-efficiency scoring. The Jazz's 14.7 fastbreak points per game and the Clippers' 12.6 in transition suggest opportunities for quick buckets, especially if turnovers remain low (both teams hover around 13% turnover rate). While the Clippers boast a solid defense, allowing just 113 points per game overall and tightening up to 106.9 since mid-December, Utah's home environment and their tendency to push the pace with 30.3 assists per game could overwhelm that unit, particularly if injuries force lineup adjustments that open up more three-point looks.
Counterarguments for the under exist, such as the Clippers' 22-23 over/under record this season and Utah's 4-1-1 under mark in their last six against teams with losing straight-up records (the Clippers sit at 21-24). However, these are outweighed by the dominant over trends tied to Utah's defensive shortcomings and the matchup's historical scoring fireworks. For those wagering on totals tonight, the over in this Clippers-Jazz clash stands out as the sharp play, capitalizing on a blend of statistical edges and situational angles that favor points aplenty

Tuesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Kentucky plus the points over Vanderbilt at 9 pm et on Tuesday.
We'll grab all the points we can get with Kentucky as it travels to Nashville to challenge Vanderbilt on Tuesday. The Commodores own the better overall record in this matchup this season but the Wildcats have faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. Vandy is likely breathing a sign of relief after it avoided a fourth straight loss with a blowout win at Mississippi State on Saturday. It certainly can't afford to let down its guard against a good Kentucky team here, however. The Wildcats turned in a dismal offensive effort (18-of-50 shooting) but still prevailed by nine points against Ole Miss on Saturday. Save for a poor performance in a game they won against Texas, the Wildcats have held up well defensively in recent weeks, limiting three of their last four opponents to 25 or fewer made field goals. Meanwhile, Vandy has connected on 27 or fewer field goals in four of its last six contests. Look for Kentucky to take this one down to the wire at the very least. Take Kentucky.
AAA Sports
AAA Sports' Selection -- Dallas Stars / St. Louis Blues OVER
These two teams played to finish last week and ended with five goals. We think that this game will exceed five goals.
Dallas has seen the total go OVER in nine of it's 13 games played against opponents within the Central Division this year.
The OVER is also 6-3 in the Stars road games against Central opponents.
St. Louis just lost 5-4 in a shootout against LAK over the weekend.
It's been a bad season for the Blues. But, they have beaten Dallas in this arena this season already and that should help in this one.
We're on the OVER -- anticipating lots of opportunities.

(#534) Oklahoma City Thunder | ATS | .
New Orleans hasn't been good this season and although it's coming off consecutive wins, playing on the road against OKC is never going to be a good matchup for anyone. The Pelicans have lost 17 of their 22 road games this season. They are horrible from beyond the three point arc and that';s going to cause problems all night.
I know that the Thunder are struggling still. The injuries have started to pile up and while we were talking about a possible team in history with how well they started, this isn't what anyone expected. But, don't let that fool you. OKC is still great and leading the way by quite a bit. The Thunder have won 12 straight meetings against NOP. They've covered ATS in 10 of those games. I'll lay the points on Tuesday.
Burns' Prediction: 128-103 Thunder.
Joe Duffy
Away favorites of at least 3 points with at least 14 losses are 1527-1100-64 for +208.10 units. Large away favorites that don’t have a horrid delta points allowed is 1362-1065-47. Delta points allowed is how many points they allowed relative to the average team total. Combining the two angles, but making it favorites of 7 or more is 534-356-18 for 60 percent. At six or more, the units won skyrockets to 176.6 at 59.4 percent.
Portland has lost two straight yet are laying a massive number on the road. Big away favorites in a losing streak are 383-265-15.
