NHL | Wild vs Jets
Play on: Jets -108 at betonline
Game Analysis

The Jets had won three in a row, including a major upset of the Avalanche last Wednesday. Winnipeg then lost, 5-1, at home to the Ducks in an obvious letdown spot this past Friday.

Winnipeg has not played since.

Minnesota finds itself in a major scheduling disadvantage here. This marks the Wild's fifth game in eight days and second in two days after beating the Golden Knights, 4-2, at home last night. The Wild are thin at forward after losing Nico Sturm to injury in that game.

Jesper Wallstedt has been in net for all six of Minnesota's games. He is playing well with a 1.82 goals against average and .933 save percentage.

But for the first time this season, the Wild are going to be starting 34-year-old journeyman backup goalie Calvin Pickard. He had a 3.68 GAA and .871 save percentage last season. It is a significant drop-off from Wallstedt to Pickard.

Stuart Skinner has been confirmed as Winnipeg's goalie. Skinner runs hot and cold. Right now he is playing well with victories in his last two games, stopping 70 of 74 shots during this span for a save percentage of .945.

Given the spot and goalie edge, I find the home Jets worth taking at this price.

Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #209239 Atlante/Pumas UNAM DRAW (+235) (11 p.m., Friday, October 16 Fox Sports Deportes) Liga MX.

We see value in the draw between two sides struggling to find consistency. Atlante has shared the points in five of its first 11 league matches, including three of five at home. With just one home victory, the hosts have had trouble turning competitive performances into wins. Pumas UNAM has defensive concerns of its own, conceding 11 goals over its last five matches. That makes the visitors difficult to trust to claim all three points on the road. We expect a closely contested matchup with chances for both teams, but neither side doing enough to pull away. At +235, take the draw. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring top plays in football, hockey, UFC and soccer.

Play on: Guardians +130 at Ace
Game Analysis

Guardians +130

Cleveland and Tampa Bay meet in Game 2, and the Guardians are getting a price I like. Cleveland erased a 2-0 deficit with 7 runs in Game 1, showing exactly why this lineup is dangerous. The offense gets contributions throughout the order, with Jose Ramirez setting the tone. Rookie Parker Messick gets another opportunity after struggling against Chicago, but one rough outing doesn't erase an otherwise reliable season. Freddy Peralta counters with a career 4.00 ERA against Cleveland. The Guardians have the offensive momentum, a starter I trust to rebound, and an attractive moneyline price. Back Cleveland. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the Guardians ML. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NHL | Bruins vs Sharks
Play on: Sharks -106 at circa
Game Analysis

My selection is on San Jose over Boston at 11:05 pm et on Tuesday.

I really like the way this spot sets up for the Sharks as they look to rebound following Saturday's 3-1 loss on home ice against the Oilers. That was Macklin Celebrini's first game back after missing a pair of games due to injury and turned out to be a sluggish matinee affair. I expect to see a lot more energy from San Jose on Tuesday as it hosts a Bruins team that is coming off back-to-back blowout wins over the Mammoth and Flyers, scoring a whopping 11 goals in the process. Boston is 4-2 overall but just 1-1 on the road with its lone victory coming by way of overtime. The Sharks have taken three straight meetings in this series and I look for them to make it four on Tuesday. Take San Jose.

It’s a SUPER TUESDAY as I have THREE best bets including my CFB C-USA TOTAL OF THE YEAR and NHL NON-CONFERENCE UNDERDOG OF THE YEAR plus an MLB playoff o/u winner! Grab each play individually or better yet, sign up with a subscription package and SAVE BIG!

Play on: Senators -112 at circa
Game Analysis

Blues v Senators NHL Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Ottawa Senators are on the second night of a back-to-back, and I think the market is giving the tired-legs angle too much weight. Ottawa just went into New Jersey and handled the Devils 4-1, and coming back to the Canadian Tire Centre should more than make up for the short turnaround.

The St. Louis Blues have dropped three straight, most recently a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose, and even that record is flattering. St. Louis has scored above its expected baseline, which tells me the offense has been running on finishing luck that won’t last. When the shooting regresses, a team that’s already allowing 3+ goals per game doesn’t have much to fall back on. I’ll back the better, more structured club at home, even on no rest.

The Bet: Senators ML (3%).

Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on FIU.

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.

- Florida International are 7-3 in their last 10 games.

- Florida International are 4-2 in their last 6 road games.

- Jacksonville State have loss 7 of their last 12 games.

Verdict: The value is on the road underdog.

NHL | Panthers vs Blue Jackets
Play on: Blue Jackets -120 at betus
Game Analysis

Marc David's NHL Free Pick

We really like home team in this matchup. The Panthers (2-2-2) have been banking points their play hasn’t earned. Through six games they were scoring just 2.0 goals per game, with the league’s worst power play, and they’d been outscored 12-17, yet they’d collected points in four of six.

The Blue Jackets (2-2-0) are coming off a 5-3 loss in St. Louis in which they blew a 2-0 first-period lead, but the night before, they showed what they can do, outshooting the Penguins 45-22 in a 3-2 shootout win. They have the depth to push the pace, with Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, Matthew Knies, Valeri Nichushkin and Zach Werenski. Johnson is rolling, with a goal against St. Louis and the shootout winner against Pittsburgh.

This is a classic sell-high spot on a Panthers team whose record has outrun their underlying play, missing their two most important forwards and playing on tired legs.

This is FREE PLAY on the BLUE JACKETS ML.

Game Analysis

Free Play – Take #104 Jacksonville State -150 ML over FIU (8:00 p.m. ET, Tuesday, October 13)

This Conference USA Tuesday tilt features two of the three remaining clubs without a loss in conference play. Florida International is one of the top defensive squads in the country, #4 in total defense and #6 in points allowed. The Panthers' problem is on offense. Despite averaging a solid 378 YPG, the Panthers only average 18.8 PPG, which is #118. Their problem is finishing drives and settling for too many field goals. This is explained by being #125 in Yards Per Point. Jacksonville State is more reliable on offense at 27.2 PPG and has a nicely balanced attack for its 391 yards of offense. The Gamecocks permit 22.3 PPG and should limit FIU’s points. Jax State has won 11 of 12 home games. This should be a tight ballgame, and for me, the ML on the home team is the best bet.

Game Analysis

Florida International +3 (-110)

Jacksonville State wants to run the ball, and so far they've been lucky with their schedule, facing a run of poor rush defenses. FIU is a different story. Their defense has been elite this season, giving up just 6 combined points over their last two games and holding every opponent to 20 or fewer.

Pace works in our favor too. Neither team plays fast, so there will be fewer possessions and a tighter scoring window. It's also a short week for both sides, and this FIU defense has proven it travels.

Everything points to a one-score game that comes down to a field goal either way, so we'll happily take the points.

Take FIU +3 (-110).

Let's cash some tickets!

Play on: Delaware -115 at Bovada
Game Analysis

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday in College Football I am looking at the Delaware Blue Hens at the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. Line very telling as the Blue Raiders a dog at home to a team that comes in with their identical record of 2-3. Both teams off 2 straight losses but the last game for Middle Tennessee was a 55-0 beatdown at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks. Delaware overall has played better competition playing Vanderbilt, Virginia and Liberty. Look for Delaware to win a low scoring hard fought game here.

Play on the Delaware Blue Hens minus the points rotation #101
