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.
- San Jose is 10-5 SU in its last 15 games.
- Calgary is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games.
- Calgary is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games at home.
Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.
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 Under. The Under is 5-2 in Nashville's last 7 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference. The Under is 4-1 in NY Islanders' last 5 games.
Kyle Hunter
*Free Play Under* The Towson Tigers and Hampton Pirates are both very happy with a slow pace. They are 344th and 312th in overall tempo (out of 365 teams). The two teams are 340th and 347th in effective field goal percentage offense as well.
Hampton's defense has struggled the most this year when they are up against a team that excels at getting to the free throw line. Towson is 313th in FTA/FGA, so they are unlikely to be a team that takes advantage of that weakness.
Hampton's offense relies heavily on getting to the line, but Towson is 75th in FTA/FGA allowed.
Take the under.

Dan Kaiser
St. Mary’s plays the same way year in and year out. A disciplined half-court offense and a physical defense. They are one of the slowest-paced teams in the country, which limits possessions and makes teams be efficient on offense and defense. They are putting up 78.6 points a game on 47.8% shooting from the field and just under 40% from deep. Gonzaga has one of the most explosive offenses in the nation. They have been dominant at home this season. They are putting up 88.9 points a game on 51.2% shooting from the field and 35.4% from deep. The Gaels will need to do two things to be successful. Slow the pace, and do not get behind big on the scoreboard, as their style of play is not conducive to big comebacks. This game will be close at halftime, but Gonzaga will overwhelm them in the second half and cover.
Ray Monohan
Maple Leafs -139
21-16 57% +367 free play run! Toronto is worth a move against the Canucks. The Maple Leafs are struggling with now and a visit with the Canucks is just what they need to turn it around. Vancouver has just two wins all month long and they’re struggling on both ends of the ice. They give up 3.61 gpg and only average 2.57 offensively and they’ll struggle against a Toronto team that plays extremely quick. Back Toronto. 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 LEAFS ML. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray

Jimmy Boyd
1* Free Pick on LSU -2½
LSU is the clear side in this SEC showdown.
The Tigers have a massive rest advantage coming into Columbia today.
LSU hasn't played since their home win on Tuesday night.
South Carolina had to grind out a physical road game on Wednesday and looks gassed.
The Gamecocks have struggled to protect the rock all season.
They rank near the bottom of the conference in turnover percentage.
LSU’s defense thrives on those mistakes.
The Tigers are elite at turning steals into fast-break points and easy transition buckets.
LSU also holds a big edge in shooting efficiency.
They are hitting over 38% of their shots from deep in conference play.
South Carolina’s perimeter defense has been leaky lately.
They allow too many open looks to teams that move the ball well and find the extra pass.
The Gamecocks are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning record.
LSU is 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and loves playing in hostile environments.
The Tigers have the better athletes and the fresher legs.
They will wear South Carolina down over the final ten minutes of the second half.
Expect LSU to control the tempo and pull away late at the free-throw line.
The line is way too low for a team with this much of a talent and rest gap.
Bet LSU -2.5.

SATURDAY is PAYDAY for us in college basketball as we bash the books with another big day: TOP RATED SEC GAME OF THE MONTH (12-4 BIG GAME RUN), LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE, SLAM DUNK, and 71% ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE plays.
Saturday’s FREE WINNER: BYU COUGARS.
Game 691.
1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST.
After a 16-1 start to the campaign, the BYU Cougars have dropped two of their last three outings. Granted, they were against two of the best teams in the country and the Texas Tech red Raiders, and the Arizona Wildcats, but I feel this team comes up big here today on the road at the Kansas Jayhawks. Yes, I will also admit this team has failed to cover five straight contests. But they must bounce back here today if they're going to make a run in the Big 12. They have been less than stellar against the spread this season covering just eight of their 20 games played, but enter today's matchup with their backs up against the wall needing a victory, and with some momentum in this rivalry. The Cougars took the last two meetings against the Jayhawks over the last two seasons, the 2024 matchup on the road, 76-68, and the 2025 meeting at home, 91-57. Speaking of Kansas, after struggling a bit early this month, they have now rattled off four consecutive wins and covers. Both teams have talented backcourts and very strong front court talent. While the Jayhawks defense certainly boasts better statistics, the Cougars offense has been absolutely incredible. There's also a bit of a mismatch on the defensive glass, benefiting the visitor here. This game will be won in the paint, and I feel BYU can compete very well down low. They also need this one. Take BYU. Thank you.
Dave Price
Dave's Saturday Free Play:
1* on Bulls/Heat UNDER 236.5
The Key: This will be a rematch from Thursday when the Heat won 116-113 in Chicago for only 229 combined points. Norman Powell had 21 points in that game, but he won't be available in the rematch. Nikola Vucevic had 15 points and Coby White had 14. Vucevic has been ruled out for the rematch, while White and Josh Giddey are both questionable for the Bulls. That's a lot of offensive firepower missing for both teams. The Bulls and Heat have gone for 230 or fewer combined points in 4 of their last 5 matchups. Take the UNDER.

1* Bet on Kentucky +6½
Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Mavs/Rockets UNDER 221
The Houston Rockets are 14-2 UNDER in their last 16 games overall. They have gone for 217 or fewer combined points in 13 of those 16 games. They rank 27th in pace and 6th in defensive rating. This total of 221 is too high for a game involving the Rockets right now.
The Dallas Mavericks quietly rank 9th in defensive rating this season. They do like to play much faster than Houston. But the Rockets will control the tempo playing at home tonight and drag the Mavericks into the mud.
Familiarity favors defense and low-scoring games. This will already be the 4th meeting this season between these Texas rivals. Two of the first three went UNDER the total with 212 and 214 combined points. The Mavs and Rockets have combined for 221 or fewer points in five of their last seven meetings overall. Bet the UNDER in this game Saturday.

John Martin
1 Unit FREE PLAY on UCLA -3.5
The Indiana Hoosiers are coming off an upset win over their biggest rivals in the Purdue Boilermakers. This looks like a flat spot for the Hoosiers now. They only have three days off since beating the Boilermakers plus the travel clear out to UCLA. This is a terrible spot for the Hoosiers, who are just 2-4 SU in true road games this season. The Bruins are a perfect 11-0 at home this season with one of the best home-court advantages in the Big Ten. A lot of that has to do with how far their conference opponents have to travel to play them. It's fatiguing, and the Hoosiers likely won't even get off the bus after that win over Purdue. Give me UCLA.

Saturday Card led by the 100% BIG East Game of the Year, a TOP Total and NBA. NHL Comp play below.
At 7:15 eastern the NHL Totals play is on the Over 6.5 goals in the Montreal at Buffalo. This has been a high scoring series with 6+ goals in 7 straight. Montreal has flown over in 5 of the last 7. The Sabres have gone over in 6 of the last 7 at home. In a battle of two teams with almost identical records we will back the over in what looks like a higher scoring game. Play Montreal and Buffalo over the total. GL Rob V-
Matt Fargo
This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO DONS for our Saturday Free Play. San Francisco is back home following a pair of losses on the road as it fought to the end against Gonzaga in a tough two-point loss and it clearly left it all on the table as the Dons went to Santa Clara and lost by 15 points. They are 5-5 in the West Coast Conference and need these next two home games before a trip to St. Mary’s and they come in with a 3-1 record at home within the conference with the loss coming against St. Mary’s in the first meeting. Pacific has won and covered three straight games to improve to 6-4 in the conference. One of those wins was at Oregon St. which was the first conference road win after starting 0-4 and the Tigers head to San Francisco at a bad time. The conference record is flawed as they have played only one game against the top four teams in the league and that resulted in a blowout loss on the road at Santa Clara. San Francisco is 14-2 in its last 16 home games after failing to cover two of their last three games. Play (802) San Francisco Dons

Jim Feist
Miami’s defense at home remains one of the toughest in the league, and Brooklyn’s offense has struggled against disciplined, switch-heavy schemes. The Heat’s ability to force tough mid-range shots and limit second-chance points gives them a strong edge. With Miami healthier and playing at home, the number is short.
Jim Free Pick: Heat -3.5
Sean Murphy
Saturday CBB Free play. My selection is on Ohio plus the points over Buffalo at 2 pm et on Saturday.
We'll grab the points with Ohio on Saturday as it looks to shake off a two-game losing streak and earn a split of this two-game road trip. Buffalo on the other hand figures to be breathing a sigh of relief after it avoided a sixth straight loss with an 'upset' win at Bowling Green last time out. The Bulls shot a blistering 29-of-52 from the field to secure that victory. Note that Buffalo faces an Ohio team that has been rounding into form defensively, holding three of its last four opponents to 24 or fewer made field goals. The problem for the Bobcats has been their inability to take advantage of their scoring opportunities. They hoisted up 61 and 64 field goal attempts over their last two games but connected on only 20 and 19. That's certainly uncharacteristic of them as they had made good on 25 or more field goals in eight straight games prior to that. They'll certainly be afforded their share of opportunities against a Bulls team that has yielded 34, 31, 38, 27, 26 and 31 made field goals over their last six contests. While Buffalo does own the better overall record in this matchup this season, Ohio took the previous meeting by double-digits and has faced the more difficult schedule this season. Take Ohio.
Mike Lundin
Kings vs Flyers NHL Free Pick
The Angle: The Philadelphia Flyers are 6-13 at home as underdogs or favorites >=-125, fading them blindly would have given a 25% ROI. Both teams are coming off losses, but the Kings have been playing well lately while the Flyers are 2-7-1 in their last 10.
The Bet: KINGS (2%).
Stellar 72% (13-5) NBA totals run and sizzling 19-9 (68%) NHL premium pick run!
For Saturday, Mike has a 3-Pack of NBA Totals and a Blue Jackets/Blues NHL BE$T PLAY of the Day! Grab an all-sports subscription and sit back and enjoy the action.

For my best free pick on the board here for Saturday I am looking at the Saint Mary’s Gaels visiting the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Now I think we are getting a tremendous price here with Saint Marys here on the road on Saturday Night no room for error for this Gaels team after their loss to Santa Clara. Zags have been winning but covering is another story. Saint Marys has covered 3 of the last 4 with the Bulldogs. Look for Saint Marys to be up at the half and hold on tight to get us a nice easy cover at the end.
Play on Saint Marys plus the points
