Ricky's 1* play on UCF.

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.

- Central Florida is 14-6 in its last 20 games.

- Baylor is 1-5 in its last 6 games.

- Baylor is 1-4 in its last 5 games played in February.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

(#739) Yale Bulldogs | ATS | . 

I really like Yale on Saturday to bounce back from yesterday's defeat. Even on the road, the Bulldogs should play with a ton of freedom. Remaining atop of the Ivy League standings, Yale must continue to win these final two games given the Harvard is right there with it. The Bulldogs have dominated this conference for a couple of seasons now and I think a bounce back is most definitely in store. 

Columbia has played a lot better than I expected this year. The Lions had won just one conference game last season and have come a very long way since then. Yes, this is an important game for them as well, to stay in the race for a spot in the conference tournament. But, I just don't see it happening. Yale won 91-74 back in Jan in this matchup. Lay the points. 

Burns' Prediction: 86-72 Yale.

During the past seven days, UCLA has enjoyed a blowout home win against arch-rival USC and scored an upset home victory in overtime against 10th-ranked Illinois on a buzzer-beater layup. Now the Bruins go on the road to face Minnesota in an early start time.

UCLA is 1-5 SU and ATS when playing out of its time zone. The Bruins have lost these five games - all to Big Ten teams - by an average of 17.2 points. The only win and cover came against Penn State, who ranks last in the Big Ten with a 2-15 conference record.

This is an awkward spot for the Bruins, who return home following this game to host Nebraska on Tuesday.

Minnesota is 11-4 at home. The Gophers have pulled off straight-up upset victories at home against Michigan State, Iowa and Indiana. They are well-coached under their first-year head coach Niko Medved.  The Gopher's physical style, slow pace, defensive rebounding and 31st-ranked defense can cause problems for UCLA, especially if the Bruins are flat which I expect.  (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 7-1 on his last eight college basketball plays. Stephen has three premium CBB plays, headed by his CBB Total of the Year, going today in addition to this free selection.) 

1* Free Pick on Regina Tarin +150

OVER 5.5

Vancouver and Seattle have value to the over. Vancouver has allowed a combined 8 goals over their last two games out of the break while Seattle has allowed 9. Neither team has looked good defensively and they’re giving up a lot of clean looks. This should be a game that produces a lot of back and forth scoring chances, with both teams peppering the opposing net. Grab the over. 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 OVER 5.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

(Free Play Under) The last eight games between these two teams have stayed under the total. Randy Bennett is a really good coach, and he knows his St. Mary's team doesn't want a track meet against Gonzaga. The Bulldogs have a ton of length and athleticism that can hurt them in a transition battle.

St. Mary's is great on the offensive glass, but Gonzaga is strong on the defensive boards. This Gonzaga team isn't as good on offense as the last few Gonzaga teams, but they are better on defense.

Look for this to be played more in the halfcourt. Take the under.

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Valparaiso -4.5

Valparaiso has won its last four games to get to 11-8 in MVC play.  The Beacons are now tied with Illinois State for 5th place in the MVC with one game remaining.  That's big because the top 5 teams all get a bye in the conference tournament.

That's why I'm not concerned about Valparaiso having any sort of letdown here when they travel to face the worst team in the MVC in Evansville.  They should make easy work of the Purple Aces, who are 6-23 pn the season and 2-16 in conference play.

Evansville looks to have quit on the regular season with four straight blowout losses by 26 to Southern Illinois, by 38 to Illinois-Chicago, by 13 to Murray State and by 34 to Belmont.  The Purple Aces have another game against Southern Illinois at home tomorrow to conclude their season, so they'll be far from 'all in' here.

Illinois State plays Belmont tomorrow and will likely be an underdog to the top team in the conference.  A win by the Beacons and a loss by the Redbirds would give them the bye.  Bet Valparaiso Saturday.

1* Free Pick on Portland State +1½

Portland State is catching points in a matchup where they hold the clear schematic advantage.
The Vikings rely on a high-pressure defensive system that forces turnovers on nearly a quarter of all possessions.

Montana’s backcourt has been prone to mistakes when faced with a full-court press for 40 minutes.
The Grizzlies are playing their second game in three days and looked gassed at the end of their Thursday night contest.

Portland State plays a deep rotation and keeps fresh legs on the court to maintain their intensity.
That depth will be the deciding factor in the second half when Montana’s starters start to fade.

The Vikings are currently 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games as a road underdog.
They also lead the conference in offensive rebounding percentage and second-chance points.

Montana’s interior defense is vulnerable and lacks the size to keep the Vikings off the glass.
The Grizzlies have also seen their shooting efficiency dip over the last two weeks.

They are settling for low-percentage perimeter shots instead of attacking the paint.
Portland State is the more physical team and will win the battle for loose balls.

Free throw shooting is another edge for the visitors, as they rank near the top of the league in late-game situations.
Montana has struggled from the charity stripe recently, hitting under 70% as a unit.

Take the points with the more athletic and deeper squad in this spot.
The Vikings have the momentum and the style of play to win this game outright on the road.

Bet Portland State +1.5.

Dave's Saturday Free Play:

1* on Iowa State -9

The Key: The Texas Tech Red Raiders have been able to get by in their first 2 games without their best player in Jadyn Toppin (21.8 PPG, 10.8 RPG).  They won and covered at home against both Kansas State and Cincinnati.  But now they hit the road for the first time without Toppin, and they'll be playing at arguably the toughest place to play in the country.  Iowa State is 15-0 at home this season and hungry to keep that unbeaten record intact.  Take Iowa State.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Toronto Raptors -14

The Toronto Raptors will be motivated to bounce back from two consecutive losses to two of the best teams in the NBA in the Spurs and Thunder.  They have had the last two days off to recover, and they will take out their frustration on the tanking Washington Wizards tonight.  The Wizards are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last three games overall losing by 17 at home to the Hornets, and by 21 at the Hawks and by 30 at the Hawks.  They are sitting most of their best players with several others questionable in a blatant tanking job.  Give me the Raptors.

BIG Saturday Card had the West Coast Conference Game of the Year, a TIER 1 Going Early a top total and NBA. NHL Comp play below.

The NHL Comp play is on Boston. Game 51 at 3:10 eastern. The Bruins are in a nice system here today that has cashed well over 75% for road teams with rest off a home favored win allowing at least 2 goals if they had 9 or more days rest prior to the win. Boston has won the last 3 in the series with Philadelphia and are red hot winning 12 of the last 13. The Flyers snuck past the Rangers on Thursday with a big 3rd period but have lost 4 of 5 playing off a win and have lost 7 of 8 at home. Look for Boston to get the win. GL Rob V-

This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS for our Saturday Free Play. Loyola Marymount closes its season at home and it comes in with some momentum with two straight wins and can move as high as No. 6 in the conference standings. The Lions are 4-4 at home in the conference with two of those losses coming against St. Mary’s and Santa Clara and another against Oregon St. by just three points. Revenge is in play following a 10-point loss in Seattle last month and they are 4-1 in Quad 3 home games. Seattle was coming off a 2-1 homestand to close out its home portion of the schedule and is coming off a road win at 3-14 Pepperdine to move to 7-10 in the West Coast Conference. After going 3-0 on the road in the nonconference, the Redhawks have gone 1-7 in the conference outside of Seattle and now are either getting a short number or a pickem on the highway and are in auto fade after covering their last five games depending on that Pepperdine number. Seattle is 1-2 in Quad 3 road games, the only win coming at UC Davis by one point back in December. Play (794) Loyola Marymount Lions

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 Penn State plus the points over Iowa at 12 noon et on Saturday.

We'll grab all the points we can get with Penn State as a sizable home underdog on Saturday. The Nittany Lions have been in a tail-spin to be sure. However, they have had a week to stew over three straight losses and prepare for this matchup with Iowa. The Hawkeyes are just two days removed from a decisive win over Ohio State. Of note, they're just 2-3 SU and ATS over their last five contests. There is a recent ceiling on this Hawkeyes offense as they've been held to 28 or fewer made field goals in seven straight games. You would have to go back 13 games to find the last time they hoisted up more than 59 field goal attempts. I think their own methodical pace can help keep Penn State within arm's reach here. Note that the Nittany Lions have at least been consistent offensively, making good on 23 or more field goals in 11 straight contests. Iowa has obviously posted the better overall record in this matchup this season but Penn State has faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. Take Penn State (8*).

Our selection is on the Dallas Stars to defeat the Nashville Predators on Saturday at 8:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Nashville did beat Chicago in it's first game back from the break. But, it's lost four of it's L5 games played on the road.

The Predators have not done well against the Stars, losing in four of the L14 games played against each other.

Dallas is a terrific 17-7-3 at home this year and those numbers improve to 10-2-2 against opponents within the Western Conference.

The Stars are also 12-4-1 in all games against opponents within the Central Division this year -- 5-0-1 at home.

We're on Dallas .

AAA Sports

Gonzaga vs Saint Mary's CBB Free Pick 

The Angle: Both teams have been trending under all season. Gonzaga is 8-2 to the under in its last 10, Saint Mary's 7-3 in its last 10, and the series is 2-8 O/U in the last 10 meetings. That's solid proof the books consistently overestimate the final score here. Add Gonzaga's 10-20 O/U record with totals of 140+ (1-5 under 150), and this line screams value.

The Bet: UNDER (3%). 

1% GOLD RUSH on Rangers +1½

For my best free pick on the board here for Saturday in college basketball I am looking at the Nevada Wolfpack at the UNLV Running Rebels. UNLV out for in state revenge as they just lost to this Nevada team a few weeks back. UNLV has only covered 3 times in the last 10 games so we should see bettors flocking to this Nevada team on the road at this very short number. Look for UNLV to turn the defense up in this game and pull away late 2nd half. Nevada a mediocre team on the road just 4-6 SU. 

Play on UNLV plus the points rotation #798

***DO NOT MISS MY DOUBLE TITANIUM SATURDAY ONE IN THE NBA AND ONE IN COLLEGE HOOPS I AM 104-61 63% ON MY TITANIUMS OVER THE LAST 165***

When a line appears counterintuitive to the points per game margins to date, go with the message the oddsmakers are sending and bet on the seemingly contradictory team is 1035-736-32. When it’s a same-season game where the previous mathup was at home, the ROI skyrockets to 18.6 percent at 297-181-8. However, the famed Luck Factor has this south of a premium bet, but still strong. 

Six college basketball plays and NBA are set for Saturday —note that in my first slump since October, I upgraded my still-way ahead this year and overall angle to a turbo-enhanced subsystem that is 58.1% this season. All are:

• True power ratings vs. current odds

• Early market positioning

• Situational and scheduling edges

• Line value relative to projected range

The advantage of the overnight card is simple — discipline and timing. When the numbers are right, we strike before the public ever wakes up.

Seven carefully selected hoops plays ready to attack Saturday’s board the professional way.
