PSP Data Driven 1* CS Sacramento.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Underdog. Sacramento State is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games at home. Idaho is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games against an opponent in the Big Sky conference.

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.

1* Bet on Utah State -4½

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: UC-San Diego +4.5

I love the spot for UC-San Diego tonight.  The Tritons have had the last week off last playing on Saturday.  They will be rested and out for revenge from a 61-59 home loss to UC-Irvine as 2.5-point favorites.

Now the Tritons are catching 4.5 points on the road in the rematch, a 7-point adjustment for flipping home courts.  Home-court advantage has meant nothing in this series with the road team going 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings over the last two seasons.

Not to mention, UC-Irvine is a much more tired team coming into this one.  The Anteaters just played on Thursday and beat Long Beach State 69-58 on the road.  They benefited from the Beach shooting just 2-of-18 (11.1%) from 3-point range.

With only one day of rest and preparation for the Anteaters compared to six days for the Tritons, this line should be much closer to PK.  Bet UC-San Diego Saturday.

1* Free Pick on Uros Medic +185

Capping the night in the main event around 10:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, Anthony Hernandez emerges as the -240 favorite against Sean Strickland, with the by-decision prop at +125 providing an intriguing angle that plays into Hernandez's wrestling dominance and cardio edge over five rounds. Hernandez averages 6.46 takedowns per 15 minutes at 48% accuracy, coupled with 1.8 submission attempts in the same span, allowing him to control fights on the mat while landing 4.59 significant strikes per minute at 62% efficiency, and he's on an eight-fight win streak that includes grinding out decisions against durable opponents. Strickland, despite his high-volume striking at 5.95 per minute, absorbs 4.57 strikes with a 60% defense and has gone 1-2 in his last three, including a unanimous decision loss in a rematch, highlighting a trend where volume boxers like him struggle against elite grapplers, with such matchups going the distance in 58% of instances when the wrestler maintains top control without a finish. Hernandez's 68% takedown defense further neutralizes Strickland's modest 0.73 takedowns per 15 minutes, tilting the scales toward a judges' verdict in a bout that rewards bettors fading the former champion's durability against relentless pressure.

Hernandez to win / plus prop- contest goes to a decision

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.

For my best free pick on the board for Saturday in college Basketball I am looking at a late game of Iowa State at the BYU Cougars. Listen national championship hopes for BYU are finished but that does not mean this team is just going to lay down and die. We should see a ton of bettors backing the road team here at this number a road team that is smoking hot and they have covered 6 of their last 8 games. Iowa State monster wins over Kansas and Houston should further spur on the bettors to Iowa State. BYU has been one of the worst cover teams in college basketball this season but thats what I like I like buying low on a team. BYU 2-8 last 10 ATS but always a tough team to beat in Provo.

Play on BYU plus the points rotation #820
