OVER 6.5

Columbus has been a defensive mess, and that's not a good combination against a Tampa Bay offense that's finding the back of the net in bunches. The Lightning just hung 8 goals on Buffalo, and there's no reason to expect them to suddenly take their foot off the gas. The Blue Jackets play an aggressive, up-tempo style, but their defensive-zone coverage and inability to clear pucks consistently leave them vulnerable to sustained pressure. Tampa Bay should generate plenty of quality looks, especially when rebounds turn into second and third scoring opportunities. Columbus can contribute offensively, too, making this an attractive spot for goals at both ends. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays.

Wolves -5.5

Minnesota and Dallas meet on Thursday night and the Timberwolves have the value. Minnesota just continues to roll, even without Anthony Edwards. They've won 4 straight games and they're dominating on the defensive end. They've allowed under 110 points in all 4 wins as they're swarming to the ball and not allowing opposing teams to get into any sort of rhythm. Dallas has rattled off 3 straight wins, but they have struggled against higher up opponents so far this season. This is a bad matchup for them as Minnesota will slow the game down and force the Mavs to play out of their style. Minnesota is going to lean on this defense all night and shut down these Mavericks shooters. Back Minnesota.

Thursday 2* NBA ATS Play

Washington +2

Washington already showed it can move the football against New York, outgaining the Giants in yards per play during their 27-27 tie. The Commanders let that one slip away with poor clock management, not because they couldn't compete. This rematch sets up nicely for Jayden Daniels and a Washington ground game averaging nearly five yards per carry against a Giants defense surrendering nearly five per rush. Establishing that run keeps Daniels out of obvious passing situations and takes some heat off an offensive line dealing with injuries. New York has its own protection headaches. J.J. McCarthy took five sacks against Philadelphia and now faces a short turnaround with a sore hip. Cam Skattebo's expected return helps the Giants, but it doesn't erase those issues up front. Washington also owns a substantial turnover differential advantage, and that matters when the Books are calling for another tight divisional battle. Getting +2 with the team that controlled the efficiency battle last time? I'll take it. Back Washington.

Thursday 4* NFL ATS Play

Memphis -4.5

Memphis and USF clash on Thursday night and we're on Memphis laying the points. Memphis comes in 7-2 and they're tied for 2nd in the American Conference. They've put together back to back wins while scoring a combined 90 points in those wins. Overall this season, they're averaging 37.6 ppg and this offense plays with a ton of tempo. USF fell at East Carolina last week and they just don't have the offensive firepower to keep up. They only average 25 ppg and they're a very slow tempo team. They're going to be out of rhythm with how Memphis dictates games and will be on ther heels all night long. Expect Memphis to come out quick and push the issue downfield, causing USF a lot of problems. This is too nice of a line for us to pass up on. Back Memphis.
