[1%] Free Play on Central Michigan -3½ -110

#784 ASA FREE PLAY ON UCLA +6.5 over Illinois, Saturday at 8 PM ET - This is just a gigantic home game for the Bruins who are fighting to get into the NCAA tourney. They have 2 more shots to add a high level win to their resume, tonight vs Illinois and at home vs Nebraska on March 3rd. The Bruins are 14-1 at home this season, including a win over Purdue, with their only loss coming by 1 point in double OT vs Indiana. We really like the situation for UCLA as well as they are coming off back to back blowout losses @ Michigan (#1 team in the country) and @ Michigan State who was coming off a 20 point loss @ Wisconsin. Those losses should give UCLA a little extra motivation here. On top of that, they catch the Illini off a blowout win @ USC on Wednesday night (Trojans were without their best player Baker-Mazara) and now on the 2nd leg of their west coast trip. Illinois might be a bit full of themselves after that AND they host Michigan next so this is a potential flat spot for them. The Bruins are back at full strength with key guard Skyy Clark (13 PPG and 48% 3 point FG%) playing in the last 2 games after missing 10 straight games. UCLA shoots 49% at home and 40% from beyond the arc while averaging 83 PPG. Their defense is their strength ranking top 50 in defensive efficiency and 3rd in the Big 10 defending the arc which is key vs an Illini offense that takes 51% of their shots from 3 point land (10th most in the country). On the other end of the court, UCLA ranks 2nd in the Big 10 making 37% of their triples (that was without Clark their best 3 point shooter for 10 games) while Illinois is 9th in the league defending the arc. The Bruins have won 15 of their 18 home games in Big 10 play since joining the conference and 2 of those losses were by 1 and 3 points. They’ve been a home dog just once during that stretch vs Purdue this year (UCLA won outright). Dangerous game for the Illini and we like UCLA to keep this tight throughout.

Syracuse +1.5

Syracuse is worth a move against UNC. The Tar Heels have lost back to back road games and were blown away by NC State last time out. They have struggled offensively away from home and had just 58 points in their latest loss. Syracuse always tends to play teams tough at home and their swarming defense is going to be the difference here. Expect UNC to struggle to find open looks.

*Free Play Over* The Marshall Thundering Herd have scored 81 points or more in four straight games. Marshall lost 85-83 to Coastal Carolina earlier this season. Marshall's offense has been playing much better than it did earlier in the year. Coastal Carolina is unlikely to be able to slow this Thundering Herd group down.

Marshall's defense is very weak, and they have been at their worst on the road. Coastal can get hot from outside at times, and they should be able to do enough here.

Take the over.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports in MLS. Take LA Galaxy over NYCFC (7 p.m. EST, Sunday, February 22) Last year the Galaxy were fresh of their MLS Cup win and expectations were high, but they got off to a historically bad start, winless in their first 16 games, and the season was over before it started. A lot of this had to do with injuries, especially to Ricard Puig, the Galaxy’s best player. He was really central to a lot of what the Galaxy wanted to do, and his absence created lots of problems for the side. Puig had offseason surgery, and is out again for the season, but the Galaxy have solidified the team in his absence. Young players got a lot of experience last season when they might have not otherwise had the opportunity, and they made some nice signings in the offseason. Last season is a thing of the past, and this team is back to where it wants to be as a Cup contender and a very likely playoff side at the very least. They are underrated by the oddsmakers to start the season, and we will take advantage of the value here with this plus-money line. The Galaxy have won the last two meetings at home vs NYCFC, and we see this one as a low scoring match but we think the Galaxy will find a way to win. There hasn’t been a draw in seven meetings and we don’t envision one here. After last season, we think there will be an emphasis on a strong start, and home pitch will propel the Galaxy to three points.

(#24309) Dan Ige | ML | . 

Dan Ige might be a large underdog for this evening's UFC card against Melquizael Costa. But, don't underestimate the Hawaiian fighter. He's much more experienced inside of the octagon, fighting some of the best fighters inside the Featherweight Division over the years. Even though he hasn't found much success recently, Ige has seen everything and will be fully prepared for this fight against an up and coming sensation.

Melquizael Costa made his UFC debut back in 2023. He started his journey with a couple of losses in three fights, but has since turned the switch and is on a five fight win streak. But, Costa's wins don't come against very known fighters and he's already been beaten by some of the bigger names. Ige's relentlessness and ability to stay in front of fighters is going to be key. Costa's availability has been excellent, but his activity having fought so many times could come back to cost him with not too many breaks. I'll take a shot on the dog.

Burns' Prediction: Ige via. U-DEC.

Saturday CBB Free play. My selection is on Nevada plus the points over Utah State at 10 pm et on Saturday.

We'll grab all the points we can get with Nevada as a home underdog on Saturday night. Utah State hasn't lost since January 20th and has had a couple of days to pat itself on the back after delivering a perfect 3-0 homestand the culminated with a blowout win over a good Boise State team on Wednesday. While the Aggies do own the better overall record in this matchup this season, Nevada has faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. The Wolf Pack have had a few days to stew over a fruitless 0-2 road trip including an 'upset' loss at San Jose State on Tuesday. Here, they'll be looking to avenge an earlier nine-point loss but ATS cover against Utah State. I do think there's a glimmer of hope for Nevada as Utah State continues to afford its opposition plenty of scoring opportunities, yielding 60+ field goal attempts to its foes in three of its last four contests. The Aggies have been red hot offensively but I think they're in for some regression here, noting that Nevada hasn't allowed an opponent to break 60 field goal attempts since January 20th against UNLV. The Wolf Pack have held seven of their last 10 foes to 24 or fewer made field goals. Take Nevada.

Creighton vs St. John's CBB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Creighton is a lousy 9-18 against the spread on the season and they're just 4-8 against the spread as underdogs, 1-4 against the spread when spotted more than five points. St. John's look to push its winning streak to 13 games and reaffirming its lead in the Big East.

The Bet: ST. JOHN'S (3%).
