David's NBA Free Pick

We really like the favorite in this matchup. The line appears to be influenced by the Clippers' 3-9 record against the spread as home favorites, but we think this is an overreaction as we think they should be a bigger favorite. The Hornets are on a 5-0 run against the spread as underdogs on the road, and while riding trends often is the play, we think we're getting value fading the trends here.

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the CLIPPERS.

MONDAY NIGHT TOP NFL Platinum Supreme Play headlines along with a PERFECT NBA TOP Total. NHL Comp play below

The NHL Comp play is on Edmonton at 8:35 eastern. The Oilers are 5-1 with rest as a road favorite off a home loss as they look to bounce back from a loss on Saturday to LA. Tonight they travel to take on Chicago who is off a big upset shutout win in Nashville. Rob notes that home dogs with revenge off a road dog win at +140 or higher where they allowed less than 2 goals are 0-11 if they are .550 or less and the opponent is off a home favored loss. Edmonton has won 9 of the last 10 in the series and we will back them tonight. GL RV

Monday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Pacers +6 

Monday NFL Free play. My selection is on Pittsburgh plus the points over Houston at 8:15 pm et on Monday.

The Texans have reeled off nine straight wins although they book-ended an 8-3 ATS run during the middle of the season with an 0-3 ATS start and 1-2 ATS finish. Of note, this will be just the third time they've been favored on the road this season, going 1-1 ATS previously. The Steelers seem to be an afterthought in the AFC playoff picture but I think they'll relish the underdog role here. Bettors will undoubtedly be lining up to lay the short number with Houston but we'll go the other way. A sprinkle on the moneyline would be advised as well, noting the ATS winner has gone a perfect 16-0 straight-up in the Steelers last 16 games. Take Pittsburgh.

Ricky's 1* play on CHI.

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.

- The Blackhawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The Oilers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The Blackhawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.

Verdict: The value is on the home Underdog.

3* on Texans
