Ricky Tran
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 5-1 in Ohio State's last 6 games.
- The Under is 4-1 in Iowa's last 5 games against Ohio State.
- The Under is 4-1 in Ohio State's last 5 games against an opponent in the Big Ten conference.
Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.
Ray Monohan
Iowa -7.5
Iowa is the move here laying the points. The Hawkeyes continue to try and pad their resume, while Ohio State just hasn’t been able to string wins together. They had a huge chance to get a quad 1 win last time out, but eventually got worn out by Michigan State. Iowa is going to do the same thing here as they play such a physical style game and will dominate the paint against this Ohio State defense. Lay the points. 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 Hawkeyes -7.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

William Burns
(#15) Edmonton Oilers | ML | .
I expect Connor McDavid and the rest of the Oilers to have cleared their heads and be ready for this evening's game against the Ducks. Before the break, Edmonton had lost three consecutive games. Very unlike it. McDavid then went on to lose in the Gold Medal Game of the Olympics. He's going to play with a chip on his shoulder for the rest of the season now, out seeking revenge for his home country. Leon Draisaitl is also going to turn things up a notch after playing for his country. Edmonton's been one of the best and still is one of the best over the past couple of years now while Anaheim's been in a rebuild. While the Ducks are slightly better this season than in year's past, I still expect EDM to come out on top when the games start to get more serious. Hammer the Oilers.
Burns' Prediction: 5-3 Oilers.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR WEDNESDAY, 2/25:
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 Wednesday is with Colorado minus the points versus LSU. Colorado (15-12) snapped their two-game losing streak with an 83-69 win against Oklahoma State as a 4.5-point favorite on Saturday. The Buffaloes have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games at home after a straight-up win. They have also covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 home games with the Total set in the 160s. LSU (11-16) has lost seven of their last eight games after their 100-72 loss at Texas Tech as a 12.5-point underdog on Saturday. The Tigers have failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after a straight-up loss on the road. They have also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 9 games with the Total set in the 160s. Take Colorado minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Louisiana-Monroe +15
Louisiana-Monroe has gone 7-2 ATS in its last nine games overall. We are getting great value on the Warhawks here down the stretch due to their poor 4-25 record. But they have been very competitive against some of the best teams in the Sun Belt, and they are catching too many points again tonight against South Alabama.
The Warhawks have a trio of talented guards who can get buckets and keep them competitive. Krystian Lewis (18.3 PPG), M.J. Russell (15.4 PPG) and Lavell Brodnex (14.8 PPG) are all playing well. They have only lost one game by more than 11 points in their last eight games overall.
South Alabama is a tired team playing its 6th game in 14 days with two OT games against Arkansas State and Texas State in between. The Jaguars are coming off a huge 65-54 upset win over Troy as 2.5-point dogs. This looks like the exhale spot for them.
South Alabama only beat ULM 96-92 (2 OT) in their first meeting this season as 9.5-point road favorites. The Jaguars play at such a slow tempo (318th) that it makes it tough for them to get margin on opponents. Each of their last 12 games were decided by 12 points or fewer. Bet Louisiana-Monroe Wednesday.

Dave Price
Dave's Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Denver Nuggets -3.5
The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Denver Nuggets tonight. They are coming off an ugly upset loss to the Golden State Warriors who just shot lights out from 3. They have had the last 2 days off and will be playing at home for the first time since the All-Star Break. The Celtics will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 3rd game in 4 days. They will be playing their 4th consecutive road game and this is a very difficult situation for them. They now have to play in altitude and it will take its toll on them. They are also fat and happy after winning all 3 road games coming out of the break. Take Denver.

This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our Wednesday Free Play. It has been a down season for Creighton or at least a down second half as the Bluejays opened 6-3 in the Big East Conference but then lost five of six before their big upset at Connecticut. They inevitably lost the next game at St. John’s which was a big letdown and there were emotions behind that Huskies win as well with the Josh Dix family situation. They look to bounce back here and the schedule sets up well to win out and finish 11-9 which could lock down the No. 4 seed in the upcoming conference tournament as Seton Hall still has Connecticut and St. John’s remaining. DePaul is coming off a tough loss at home against Providence to snap a two-game winning streak and the Blue Demons are now 6-10 which are the most conference wins since 2022 and after going 7-53 the last three seasons. The decent success is keeping the number down and they come in 1-7 on the road in the Big East. Under Greg McDermott, Creighton is 11-1 revenging a loss of three points or less.

In the super featherweight division, where power meets precision, Emanuel Navarrete steps into the ring against Eduardo "Sugar" Nunez this Saturday, February 28, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, aiming to unify the WBO and IBF titles, a bout that pits a battle-tested veteran against a knockout machine, highlighting the raw excitement of Mexican boxing rivalries. Navarrete, with a record of 39-2-1 including 32 knockouts, has proven his mettle across multiple weight classes, capturing world titles in super bantamweight, featherweight, and now super featherweight, relying on his awkward style, high volume punching, and relentless pressure that often overwhelms opponents over the distance. At 31 years old, standing 5'7" with a 72-inch reach, the orthodox fighter from Mexico has faced top competition, including notable wins over Isaac Dogboe, Joet Gonzalez, and Oscar Valdez, where his durability shone through, absorbing punishment while outworking foes in grueling exchanges. His most recent outing, a no-contest against Charly Suarez in May 2025 due to an accidental headbutt, still showcased his ability to control the pace, even if it ended prematurely, reminding bettors of his edge in chaotic, high-action fights.
On the other side, Eduardo "Sugar" Nunez enters with a sparkling 29-1 record, boasting 27 knockouts for a staggering 93% stoppage rate, a statistic that underscores his devastating power, particularly in a division known for explosive finishes. The 28-year-old orthodox puncher from Los Mochis, Mexico, measures 5'6" with a 68-inch reach, using his compact frame to deliver thunderous hooks and uppercuts, as evidenced by his 19-fight winning streak, including a unanimous decision over Christopher Diaz in September 2025 to retain his IBF belt. Nunez claimed the vacant IBF title in May 2025 with a decision victory over Masanori Rikiishi in Japan, proving he can go the distance when needed, though his career has largely been defined by early stoppages against lesser opposition, raising questions about his performance against elite, volume-based fighters.
Betting trends in boxing title unification bouts favor the more experienced fighter, even as an underdog, with data showing that in the last decade, challengers with multi-division pedigrees have upset favorites in roughly 35% of such matchups, often capitalizing on stamina and tactical adjustments in later rounds. In super featherweight specifically, where the average fight sees a 65% knockout rate due to the blend of speed and power, underdogs like Navarrete thrive when opponents rely heavily on early finishes, as seen in recent trends where volume punchers have won 60% of decisions in competitive 130-pound clashes. Overall boxing wagering patterns indicate that moneyline favorites in title fights cash at about 70%, but when the line sits around -190 as it does for Nunez, sharp action often flows to the plus-money side, especially in all-Mexican affairs known for their unpredictability and high engagement levels.
Key angles here revolve around stylistic contrasts, with Navarrete's unorthodox approach and superior reach potentially neutralizing Nunez's power, forcing the fight into deeper waters where the veteran's 254 career rounds of experience dwarf Nunez's 126, creating opportunities for a grind-it-out victory. Bettors should note Nunez's lone loss came via decision in 2018, exposing vulnerabilities against durable opponents, while Navarrete's two defeats were narrow decisions early in his career, since overcome by his adaptation in big spots. This matchup screams value on the underdog, particularly given super featherweight's trend toward longer fights in unification scenarios, where over 9.5 rounds has hit in 55% of recent examples.
For the top pick, back Navarrete on the moneyline at +150, a solid spot leveraging his championship pedigree in what figures to be a frenetic, crowd-pleasing war, where his volume and heart could turn the tide against Nunez's one-punch threat. For those chasing higher returns, consider Navarrete by decision around +300, aligning with trends where experienced fighters outlast power punchers in 12-rounders, avoiding the knockout risk while capitalizing on judges' preference for activity. Always wager responsibly, focusing on these angles to maximize edge in a division ripe for upsets.

My selection is on Kansas State plus the points over Colorado at 9 pm et on Wednesday.
Kansas State hung around for a while but ultimately succumbed to a much better Texas Tech team in blowout fashion on Saturday. We won with the Red Raiders in that contest but I won't hesitate to go the other way and back the Wildcats as they stay on the road to take on Colorado on Wednesday. The Buffaloes have posted consecutive ATS wins including a blowout victory over Oklahoma State at home on Saturday. Colorado has been incredibly inconsistent this season and while it does own a better overall record in this matchup this season, Kansas State has faced the tougher schedule by most metrics. The Wildcats have been struggling defensively but I think this is a matchup they can handle, noting that the Buffaloes have connected on 23 or fewer field goals in five of their last 12 games. Take Kansas State (8*).

Our selection is on the Dallas Stars to defeat the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday at 8:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:
Seattle has had a solid year. But, it's had a hard time against Dallas in the past.
In fact, the Kraken have lost nine straight games played against the Stars -- seven in a row on the road.
Dallas is going to face some adversity, without Rantanen for a bit. But, it's one of the top teams in the NHL and should remain great.
The Stars went into the break having won six straight games.
We're on Dallas to stay hot.

For my best free pick on the board I am looking at the Wisconsin Badgers at the Oregon Ducks late on Wednesday night. This line seems ultra low if you’re just looking at team records as the Badgers come int this one at 19-8 and the Ducks a very forgettable season at 10-17. This Ducks team has been ok at home 8-7 and never an easy place to play for the visitors coming into Eugene. Look for Oregon to finally get some points on the board versus this Wisconsin defense.
Play on the Oregon Ducks plus the points rotation #762
