Play on: BYU -7 -110 at betus
Game Analysis

Joe D'Amico's college basketball is ON FIRE, going 7-2 recently, and riding a streak of 34-19. Today, we continue to beat the books on the college basketball hardwood with my ACC GAME OF THE WEEK, 4-1 SMART MONEY PLAY, & my 100% (3-0) LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE.

 

Wednesday’s FREE WINNER: BYU Cougars.

Game 739.

6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST.

My friends, if the line hadn't increased as much as it did this morning, this play would've been released by me as a premium play. I still feel BYU will win and cover this matchup. As you know, the Cougars have dropped three of their last four, following a 17-1 start to the campaign. But looking at their three defeats, they came at the hands of the Red Raiders, the Wildcats, and the Jayhawks. Granted, they have been overvalued a bit, failing to cover six straight, but they have dominated the Cowboys taking the March 2024 meeting, 85-71, and the January 2025 matchup, 85-69. Speaking of Oklahoma State, they are not a bad basketball team. I mean they are 15-6 overall, which includes a 12-2 record at home. But they are just 3-5 in Big 12 play. They have certainly had their issues when facing conference opponents. They enter this contest dropping five of the last seven SU, and splitting out their last 10 ATS. The problem with this team is, they have been overvalued at home, and I believe that's the case again here today, a place where they have failed to cover three straight. I understand BYU has Houston on deck, but I don't think this team, especially following their recent troubles, will be in a look ahead situation. I believe they will be focused and get back on track here with an offense that has very respectable numbers, and a defense that is considerably better than their opponents, and certainly more frustrating. If this team is going to make a run in the conference, and better their situation in the polls, they must start with a big victory here tonight. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

The Key: Sam Houston State is 6-0 SU & 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games overall. Four of the six wins came by 13 points or more. They take on a UTEP team that is one of the worst in the conference tonight and should run away with this game. UTEP is 1-7 in true road games this season while Sam Houston is 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS at home. Take Sam Houston State.

Oilers -127

The Oilers have value here on the ML. This is quick turnaround after they were dominated by the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Edmonton is much better on both ends of the ice than Calgary and their offensive firepower is going to be far too much. Edmonton averages 3.42 gpg while Calgary sits below 3. This is a complete mismatch in every which way and the Oilers will come out with some purpose. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

NCAA-B | South Alabama vs Appalachian State
Play on: UNDER 131 -110
Game Analysis

(#669) South Alabama Jaguars @ (#670) Appalachian State Mountaineers | UNDER | . 

All season long, South Alabama has been able to fantastic defense to shut down the rest of the SBC. The Jags have been excellent so far and if you've followed my selections this year, you'd know that I went to high school and played on the same basketball team as South Alabama F Adam Olsen (averaging 16.2 PPG.) Although he's a phenomenal shooter, his defensive game has most definitely evolved and he's a big piece to the Jags success.

While South Alabama ranks just 323th in pace to go along with their stout defense, App State plays even slower and comes in at 360th in KenPom's adjusted tempo rankings. Not only that, but the Mountaineers have allowed an average 52.0 PPG over their most recent four games this season. Talk about great defense. That's ridiculous! I expect this one to stay "under" the number, even with a low total, on Wednesday.

Burns' Prediction: 63-58 App State.

Ricky's 1* play on OKC.

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.

- Oklahoma City is 10-4 in its last 14 games.

- San Antonio is 1-4 in its last 5 games played in February.

- Oklahoma City is 16-3 in its last 19 games against an opponent in the Southwest Division

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

Game Analysis

Best free pick on the board here for Wednesday I am looking at the Toronto Raptors hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. Toronto forever it seems under bettors radars but not mine tonight. This Toronto team has been a streaky cover team but they have not covered in 3 straight games and this squad really needs a bounce back start here to get them on track and to be getting points with them is a gift from the betting gods. Toronto one extra day of rest. Minnesota’s stunning loss to Memphis was no fluke.

Play on the Toronto Raptors plus the points rotation #504

Play on: Minnesota +8½ -108 at betonline
Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Minnesota +8.5

The Michigan State Spartans are coming off a 83-71 home loss to rival Michigan. It ended a 7-game winning streak for the Spartans, who won't be nearly as motivated to beat Minnesota tonight.

It's a great time to 'buy low' on the Golden Gophers off seven consecutive losses. But this team has been a tough-luck loser all season. They have two OT losses and three more losses by 4 points or less during this 7-game skid.

The Golden Gophers have been competitive in all seven games and even held a halftime lead over Nebraska in their lone blowout loss. They will be competitive tonight, too. They are 9-3 SU at home this season with two of the losses coming by a combined 4 points. Bet Minnesota Wednesday.

NCAA-B | Iowa vs Washington
Play on: Iowa -130 at Bovada
Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Iowa -130

Iowa is the more disciplined team and has the best player on the floor in this matchup.
Ben McCollum has transformed the Hawkeyes into a top-tier unit that wins with efficiency rather than just raw pace.

Bennett Stirtz is playing like an All-American right now and carries this offense.
He is averaging over 21 points and 6 assists while shooting nearly 60% from the floor.

Washington has struggled to find any consistency in Big Ten play this season.
The Huskies sit at 4-7 in the conference and have a roster that still hasn't fully gelled under Danny Sprinkle.

Iowa’s biggest edge is their ball security and defensive discipline.
They rank 24th nationally in offensive rating and 33rd in defensive rating.

Washington turns the ball over on nearly 20% of their possessions.
A disciplined team like Iowa will feast on those extra opportunities and convert them into easy points.

The Huskies are also vulnerable on the perimeter.
Iowa’s shooters will find plenty of clean looks against a Washington defense that allows too many open three-pointers.

Expect Iowa to control the tempo and force Washington into a half-court game they can't win.
The Hawkeyes also shoot nearly 80% from the free-throw line, which is huge for a road favorite late in the game.

Washington doesn't have the backcourt depth to keep up once Stirtz starts breaking down their initial layer of defense.
Iowa is the better-coached team and has the higher floor in a mid-week road spot.

I like the Iowa ML (-130)

Game Analysis

Take: Denver Nuggets

Denver has been one of our league’s premier underdog teams throughout the season going 12-5 ATS and 7-3 ATS with no rest. They’re one of the most efficient in the league because they’re patient, they love to score late in the shot clock, and it makes New York’s physical defense irrelevant. Denver also possesses a massive edge in late-game shot creation ability. While New York players are often forced into tough, contested mid-range jumpers, the Nuggets-even when missing key players-have a multitude of guys who can create clean looks for themselves in iso or pick-and-roll situations. That’s what shows up on the scoreboard when the game is close, and that’s a big reason why Denver has been so dominant ATS as an underdog and ATS on no rest, other teams bog down when the game slows, the Nuggets do not.  Add up Denver’s elite trends as underdogs, their advantage in creating shots when the game is on the line, and a favorable game script that doesn’t feature New York’s strengths, and the Nuggets may not just cover tonight, they might win outright at Madison Square Garden.

NCAA-B | Utah State vs New Mexico
Play on: New Mexico -1½ -115 at Draft Kings
Game Analysis

In the high-stakes world of Mountain West Conference basketball, where home-court advantages often dictate outcomes, the New Mexico Lobos stand out as a formidable force when playing in Albuquerque. Facing off against the Utah State Aggies, the Lobos enter as a short favorite, and the case for them covering the spread hinges on their unyielding dominance at The Pit. With a streak of 23 consecutive home victories, New Mexico has turned their arena into a fortress, outscoring opponents by an average margin that underscores their ability to control games from tip-off to buzzer. This isn't just about crowd energy; it's reflected in league-wide trends where home teams in conference matchups have covered the spread at a higher clip when holding superior rebounding edges, a dynamic that plays directly into the Lobos' strengths.

Diving into the stats, New Mexico's defensive rebounding prowess gives them a clear angle to neutralize Utah State's aggressive style. The Lobos rank among the top in the conference for limiting second-chance opportunities, grabbing 37 rebounds per game overall while holding opponents to under 32 boards on average in home contests. This counters the Aggies' rebounding tenacity, where they average 36.2 boards but have struggled to maintain that efficiency on the road against top-tier defenses. League-wide, teams like New Mexico that excel in defensive rebounding, preventing extra possessions, have seen success in covering spreads as home favorites, especially against opponents who rely on forcing turnovers for easy points. Utah State leads the conference with 9.5 steals per game, but New Mexico's ball security, with fewer turnovers per possession than most MWC squads, limits those transition opportunities that the Aggies thrive on.

Trends further bolster the Lobos' position in this matchup. Utah State has gone just 1-5 against the spread in their last six games, a skid that highlights vulnerabilities in closing out tight contests, particularly on the road where they've posted a 5-1 straight-up record in recent outings but failed to cover consistently. In contrast, New Mexico has won four of their last five games outright, with their spread performance at home showing resilience even in closer affairs. Across the NCAA, underdogs like Utah State in conference road games against ranked or high-NET home teams have covered less frequently when the home side boasts a rebounding advantage, as the Lobos do here. Head-to-head history adds another layer: while Utah State holds an 11-4 straight-up edge in the last 15 meetings, they've stumbled to a 1-7 mark against the spread in their last eight road games against New Mexico, often failing to match the Lobos' intensity in The Pit.

Offensively, both teams are potent, with Utah State averaging 83.6 points per game on 51 percent shooting and New Mexico close behind at 81.5 points on 46 percent efficiency. Yet, the Lobos' ability to dictate tempo at home, slowing games to emphasize their defensive strengths, aligns with broader conference trends where home favorites in February clashes have capitalized on fatigue factors for road teams. Utah State's February games have trended toward high totals, with overs hitting in five of their last six, but New Mexico's home defense, allowing just 68 points per game overall, suggests they can keep the Aggies in check enough to pull away late.

Ultimately, the combination of New Mexico's unblemished home record, superior defensive rebounding, and favorable trends against Utah State's recent spread struggles make the Lobos a strong play to cover as the favorite. In a conference where home-court battles often decide seeding, this matchup at The Pit positions New Mexico to assert control and extend their dominance.

NHL | Bruins vs Panthers
Play on: Panthers -133 at betonline
Game Analysis

T.M. Selection: Florida.

Florida is only 14-13-3 at home this year, but Boston is just 11-12-3 on the road. The Panthers will be desperate to go into the Olympic Break with a victory after four straight losses. They won 4-3 in Boston in October, and I think they'll duplicate that performance in what is essentially their most important game of the first half. The Bruins enter off a disheartening 6-5 shootout loss at Tampa Bay, and they'll have their hands full here with the determined home side, in my opinion; consider Florida at this price!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Panthers.
