OVER 6.5

Pittsburgh and Buffalo have value to the over. These two teams are two of the quickest in the NHL and they have shown they can score. Both teams average well over 3 gpg so far this season and because of their speed, they have struggled at times defensively. This is a great matchup to expect a lot of end to end action, with both teams putting a lot of shots on net. Back the over. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on UAB -1.5

The Key: These are 2 teams headed in opposite directions. UAB is coming off a pair of impressive road wins at UTSA and at North Texas. Memphis is 1-3 SU & 1-3 ATS in its last 4 games overall with two blowout road losses to Tulsa by 17 and Wichita State by 15 as well as an upset home loss to Tulane as 9.5-point favorites. The Tigers are a banged up team right now with little depth. They have been atrocious on the road all season going 1-6 SU & 1-6 ATS in true road games. Take UAB.

1* Free Pick on UC-Santa Barbara -3½

UC-Santa Barbara is the much more efficient team in this matchup. They shoot the ball better and protect the rim at a much higher level.

UC-Davis relies too heavily on their guards to create late in the shot clock. That doesn't work against a Gauchos defense that ranks near the top of the conference in effective field goal percentage.

The Gauchos are coming into this game with significant momentum. They have covered the spread in four of their last five road games.

UC-Davis has struggled to defend the paint all season. They lack the size to match up with the Santa Barbara frontcourt.

The Gauchos will dominate the glass tonight. This creates second-chance points that a thin Davis rotation simply cannot handle.

Santa Barbara is also the better team at the charity stripe. They hit their free throws when it counts to close out games on the road.

The Aggies turn the ball over too often to keep pace. UCSB is disciplined and rarely beats themselves with sloppy play.

This line is short because Davis is playing at home. However, the talent gap between these two rosters is much wider than three and a half points.

Santa Barbara is the more rested team and has stayed focused during this road trip. They have a clear edge in offensive rating and overall shooting depth.

Davis has lost three of their last four games straight up. They are struggling to find a rhythm on the offensive end right now.

Expect the Gauchos to control the tempo from the opening tip. They will use their size advantage to wear down the Aggies over forty minutes.

I like the UC-Santa Barbara -3.5.

Thursday's CBB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Cincinnati -5.5 

As the NHL season pushes past the midway point in 2025-26, home-ice advantage continues to assert itself as a key factor in betting outcomes, with home teams securing victories in roughly 52% of games league-wide, a trend bolstered by the familiarity of arena conditions, crowd energy, and reduced travel fatigue. This edge is particularly pronounced in divisional clashes, where physicality and rivalry amplify the home team's performance, often leading to tighter defensive efforts and opportunistic scoring. The Buffalo Sabres, hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at KeyBank Center, embody this dynamic, entering the matchup with a robust 17-7-3 home record that highlights their ability to control games on familiar ice, outscoring opponents by an average margin reflective of their 3.39 goals-for per game overall. Buffalo's home dominance isn't just about raw wins; they've shown resilience in high-event scenarios, going over the total in 11 of their last 16 contests, a pattern driven by an explosive offense led by Tage Thompson's league-pacing 29 goals and Rasmus Dahlin's 36 assists, which exploit mismatches against visiting defenses.

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, brings a respectable 15-7-5 road mark into this Atlantic-Metropolitan crossover, but their away performances reveal vulnerabilities against teams with strong home metrics, especially when facing opponents who've revenged prior losses. The Penguins' aging core, including Sidney Crosby's consistent output of 27 goals and 32 assists, has fueled a 3.38 goals-per-game average, yet their road games often trend toward higher totals, with the over hitting in seven of their last 10 outings, suggesting defensive lapses that Buffalo's opportunistic attack can capitalize on. League-wide, underdogs like Pittsburgh in this spot, where road teams win only about 48% of the time, struggle when matched against favorites boasting superior shot suppression, as Buffalo does with 30.1 shots against per game compared to Pittsburgh's 27.3. Additionally, Pittsburgh's penalty minutes tally of 425 ranks among the higher in the league, opening doors for Buffalo's power play, which converts at 20.1%, to swing momentum in a game expected to feature early-period intensity given both teams' post-Christmas offensive surges, where they've tied for 4.05 goals per game.

Head-to-head history adds intrigue, with Pittsburgh holding a 6-4 edge in the last 10 meetings, including a 4-2 victory in their most recent clash on November 26, 2025, but Buffalo's home-ice revenging angle tilts the scales, as they've gone 35-28 when bouncing back from defeats against marginal winning teams like the Penguins (who sit at a 51-60% win clip). The Sabres' deeper forward lines, including Alex Tuch's 22 goals and 26 assists, provide matchup advantages over Pittsburgh's reliance on veteran stars, particularly in third periods where Buffalo has outscored foes 29 times this season. Considering NHL trends favoring home favorites in divisional-adjacent games—where such teams cover at a 56% rate, and Buffalo's 8-game winning streak against teams on losing streaks at night, the value lies in backing the Sabres on the moneyline to leverage their home strength and offensive firepower for a statement win

Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on Tampa Bay -1.5 goals over Florida at 7:35 pm et on Thursday.

The Lightning will aim to stay red hot heading into the Olympic break and they catch the Panthers in a terrific spot on Thursday as Florida needed a shootout to outlast the Bruins last night in Sunrise. The Bolts have been idle since Tuesday's overtime victory over Buffalo. They haven't played a road game since January 24th so they're home and comfortable and I expect them to have little difficulty disposing of the rival Panthers in this spot. Florida's shootout win last night only served to snap its four-game losing streak. It's certainly been a trying season for the weary Panthers on the heels of three straight trips to the Stanley Cup Final. This is a team that has played a ton of hockey over the last three years and it has showed. While Florida would love to string together another win here, I think it also has one eye on the Olympic break. Take Tampa Bay -1.5 goals.

Ricky's 1* play on TB.

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.

- Tampa Bay is 18-2 SU in its last 20 games.

- Florida is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games.

- Tampa Bay is 9-0 SU in its last 9 games at home.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR WEDNESDAY, 2/5:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Thursday is with the Detroit Pistons minus the points versus the Washington Wizards. Detroit (37-12) has won five of their last six games after their 124-121 win against Denver as a 5.5-point favorite on Tuesday. The Pistons have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games when laying double-digits. They have also covered the point spread in 12 of their last 18 games with the Total set in the 220s. Washington (13-36) has lost two of their last three games after a 132-101 loss against New York as a 13.5-point underdog on Tuesday. The Wizards have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games after a loss by 20 or more points at home. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 12 road games as an underdog getting 12.5 or more points. Take Detroit minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.
