[1%] Free Play on Pepperdine -1½ -105

(#64) San Jose Sharks | ML | . 

I can't lie. Pittsburgh has not been great to begin this season. The Penguins currently sit in dead last in the Metropolitan Division with a dreadful 6-10-2 record this year. Being favorites on the road is a bit of disrespect in my eyes to the San Jose Sharks. I get that SJ played on Monday. But, that shouldn't bother the Sharks who are much better than their record in my opinion. Celebrini is going to want to out-play Crosby and I expect the youngster to help the Sharks get the job done on Wednesday evening.

Burns' Prediction: 5-2 Sharks.

HUMP DAY card has a BIG 100% MAC TOTAL in CFB Action and a BIG Early Season College Hoops Blowout headlining. Early College hoops Comp play below

The College Hoops Comp play for Wednesday is on St. Joes plus 7.5 points at 3 eastern. Rob notes that Game 3 neutral court teams like the Hawks that are off a pair of home favored wins to start the season have covered 9 of 10 times vs a team off a road dog loss like South Florida if the total is less than 160. South Florida lost a tough one by 2 DePaul last out. Look for St.Joes to hang around for the cover. GL Rob V-

1* Free Pick on Raiders +3½

Seattle rolls into Las Vegas without its starting quarterback, and I don't think a field goal and a half properly prices what this offense looks like right now.

Sam Darnold is out. Drew Lock is in line to start again, and even he is questionable with Jalen Milroe behind him, a quarterback who hasn't taken a regular-season snap this year. Seattle has scored 17 points in back-to-back games with Lock running the show, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba just posted a season low in receiving yards working with him.

The protection in front of Lock is a problem too. Left tackle Charles Cross and guard Quenton Nelson are both doubtful. A backup quarterback behind a patchwork line on the road is a hard way to cover anything.

Seattle is averaging just 19.4 points over its last 5, and the Seahawks are 2-3 in that stretch. This is not the offense the market remembers from earlier in the season.

The Raiders can score on anybody. Kirk Cousins has produced 21 total touchdowns through nine starts. Brock Bowers has hit 70 receiving yards in all seven of his appearances with 6 touchdowns, and Matt Gay is 19-for-21 on field goals kicking indoors. Vegas is averaging 26.4 points a game and hung 38 on the Jets two weeks ago.

Seattle's defense is legitimately good, no argument there. But against a limited offense that struggles to reach 20, the Raiders only need to keep this a one-score game, and they have the weapons to do it at home.

Give me the Raiders +3.5 (-110) in Seahawks at Raiders.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take UCF Knights over Arizona State Sun Devils (Saturday, November 14, 3:30 p.m., ESPN2)

Both teams have had up-and-down seasons, and the winner clinches bowl eligibility. I like UCF to take care of business at the Acrisure Bounce House and earn its second straight win and third in four games. Arizona State is coming off a home win over Colorado, but the Sun Devils have alternated wins and losses all season. I expect that pattern to continue in Orlando, where I like the Knights to win by double digits.

Our selection is on the Washington Wizards/Indiana Pacers game to finish OVER the total on Wednesday at 7:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Washington needs to wake up off four straight losses. It's not playing well enough considering the players on it's roster.

The Wizards have dominated the Pacers lately, though winning three straight games against them, while scoring 351 points over those games.

Indiana hasn't been as high flying as year's past.

But, the Pacers just played in a high scoring game and are starting to play better without Hali.

The play is on the OVER.
