1 Dimer on Wild vs Maple Leafs under 6½ -125

For my best free pick on the board here for Monday I am looking at the Miami Hurricanes and the Indiana Hoosiers. Big time teams squaring off here and novice bettors who don’t normally bet on games will be betting this game and the over is something they naturally gravitate too. Total opened up at 48.5 for this game and is now sitting at 47.5 despite some massive betting coming in on the over. Books are defiantly confident with their position on this game so I think I am going to ride the under. Miami strength as a team is on the defensive side of the ball. Look for a very low scoring first half on Monday as both teams fell each other out.

Jack's Free Pick Monday: Phoenix Suns -8

The Phoenix Suns are 25-17 SU & 29-11-2 ATS this season.  They have been through a gauntlet here of late playing mostly playoff contenders and have still gone 6-3 SU & 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall.  Now they take a big step down in class here against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets are 12-28 this season including 6-15 at home.  This is a tough spot for the Nets playing the 2nd of a back-to-back after a 124-102 loss in Chicago yesterday.  The Nets will also be playing their 6th game in 9 days.  They are really starting to wear down and won't have much left in the tank for the Suns tonight.

The road team has owned this series going 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.  The Suns won by 24 and 16 points in their last two trips to Brooklyn, and they have won each of their last four meetings in this series.  Bet the Suns Monday.

New Jersey has four more points than Calgary and desperately needs this victory being seven points out of the final Wild Card berth in the Eastern Conference. The Devils were riding a two-game win streak before losing to the Hurricanes at home two days ago.

No shame in that, but the Devils can't take a loss to the Flames, who have signaled they are playing for the future after trading defenseman Rasmus Andersson to the Golden Knights for Zach Whitecloud, two high draft picks and a prospect. Andersson is the Flames' third-leading points producer.

There figures to be an adjustment period for the Flames now without Andersson. The Devils can take advantage of this.

Calgary was upset by Seattle and Nashville in two of its past three home games.

As the College Football Playoff National Championship approaches on Monday night, the matchup between the top-seeded Indiana Hoosiers and the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, presents a compelling blend of dominance and resilience. Indiana enters undefeated at 15-0, aiming for a historic 16-0 season, while Miami stands at 13-2, having navigated a gauntlet of upsets to reach this stage. The current betting lines list Indiana as an 7.5 -point favorite with a total points line of 47.5, reflecting the Hoosiers' overwhelming playoff performances, including a combined 94-25 scoring margin against Alabama and Oregon. This game not only pits contrasting styles, Indiana's balanced efficiency against Miami's opportunistic play, but also highlights broader league-wide trends in championship betting that favor the chalk in recent years.

Across the College Football Playoff era, favorites have dominated national championship outcomes, winning outright and covering the spread in five consecutive seasons from 2020 to 2024, a streak that underscores the reliability of top seeds in high-stakes environments. In the expanded playoff format this season, underdogs have shown bite in earlier rounds, covering at a 60% clip league-wide, but favorites like Indiana have maintained control, particularly in semifinals where the higher seed has covered in four of the last six instances. These patterns align with Indiana's profile as a prohibitive favorite, bolstered by their top-10 rankings in both offensive and defensive efficiency, allowing just 13.7 points per game while scoring 38.5 on average. The Hoosiers' ability to outscore opponents by 237 points in first halves this season, second-best nationally, further emphasizes their early-game dominance, a key angle in playoffs where fast starts have correlated with covers in 70% of games for teams leading at halftime.

Indiana's betting trends this season reinforce their favoritism, with a 10-5 record against the spread overall and 8-5 as the favorite, including an unblemished 11-0 straight-up mark when expected to win. The Hoosiers have excelled against ranked opponents, covering in seven of their last ten such matchups, driven by a defense that ranks eighth in red-zone conversion allowance at just 30.3% and forces negative plays on 35% of snaps. Offensively, Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza has been pivotal, completing 72% of his passes in playoff wins with eight touchdowns and minimal incompletions, exploiting mismatches that have seen Indiana cover by an average of 13.6 points in games following a victory. Their low turnover rate, one fumble lost all season, ties into a broader trend where teams with fewer than five giveaways in a campaign have covered 65% of playoff spreads, providing a safety net against Miami's opportunistic defense. Preseason skepticism pegged Indiana's win total at 8.5, yet they've shattered expectations, going 10-5 against the spread in conference play and demonstrating resilience with a 71.4% cover rate after wins.

Miami, does have backers based on a side that thrived as the underdog, posting a perfect 3-0 against the spread in such spots this season, including outright wins over Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and Ohio State, where they exceeded expectations by an average of 11 points. The Hurricanes' 10-5 overall against the spread record includes a 6-0 mark against ranked foes, highlighting their knack for rising in big games, a trend echoed league-wide where double-digit seeds have covered 75% of playoff lines when facing higher-ranked teams at neutral sites. Quarterback Carson Beck has been clutch in comebacks, engineering drives that have seen Miami convert 45% of third downs in playoff victories, but their three lost fumbles this year, tied for seventh-fewest nationally,could be tested by Indiana's ball-hawking unit. Miami's rushing attack, averaging 4.8 yards per carry, offers an angle against Indiana's front, which has allowed over 150 rushing yards in two of their last four games, potentially keeping the total under as the Hurricanes rank in the top 20 for time of possession. Preseason win totals set at 9.5 have been surpassed, with Miami covering 81.8% as the moneyline favorite, but their 26% negative play rate in the playoff suggests vulnerabilities against elite defenses.

Key angles in this matchup revolve around trench warfare and early momentum, where Indiana holds edges at quarterback, offensive line, and skill positions, projecting to control the line of scrimmage with a 35.1% pressure rate that could force Miami into third-and-long scenarios, where the Hurricanes convert below 50%. Miami's home-field dynamic—playing in their own stadium—has historically boosted underdogs, with host teams covering 62% in neutral-site championships, but Indiana's 100% cover rate after byes and 66.7% in rest-disadvantaged spots counters that. Statistically, Indiana's +473 point differential this season dwarfs Miami's, aligning with trends where teams outscoring opponents by over 400 points have won 80% of title games outright. While Miami's receivers like Malachi Toney could exploit mismatches, Indiana's secondary, allowing just 5.9 yards per attempt, tips the scale.

Considering these trends and stats, the strongest betting value lies with Indiana covering the 7.5-point spread, capitalizing on their superior efficiency and Miami's potential red-zone struggles against a top-tier defense. Bettors should monitor line movement, as public action has leaned heavily toward the Hoosiers, but always wager responsibly within limits.

Note:Currently, the odds reflect a balanced market with Indiana -7.5 to -8.5 at standard -110 juice on both sides, implying a roughly 52% probability for the favorite to cover after accounting for the vig, as lines have shifted upward from an opening of -7.5 amid heavy public action on the Hoosiers. This pricing aligns with recent championship trends favoring the chalk, but historical data tempers expectations, showing that in games with totals under 50, like this one's 47.5, favorites cover at a 55% rate when the spread is 7-9 points, often hinging on low-turnover performances where teams with fewer than five giveaways season-wide cover 65% of playoff lines. Bettors eyeing the cover should weigh Indiana's +473 point differential, tops in the nation and correlating with 80% outright wins in titles for teams exceeding +400,against Miami's opportunistic defense, which ranks top-20 in time of possession and could keep the game within single digits if they establish the run early
