Dave's Wednesday Free Play:

1* on South Carolina +13.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on South Carolina as 13.5-point home dogs to the Florida Gators tonight.  The Gamecocks are 10-3 at home this year and won't go down easily.  They beat Oklahoma by 9 in their last SEC home game, and they only lost to Georgia by 5 and Vanderbilt by 12 in their previous 2 SEC home games.  Florida is coming off a 9-point home loss to Auburn.  The Gators haven't been dominant on the road this year and actually lost outright at Missouri earlier.  They have only played 4 true road games all season and are 2-2 SU.  The Gamecocks haven't lost to the Gators by more than 13 in any of their last 4 home matchups.  They nearly pulled the upset last year as 11.5-point home dogs in a 1-point loss to the eventual national champs.  Take South Carolina.

Free Pick on Texas State +3½ -110

1* on Tulsa -8½

Ricky's 1* play on TOR.

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 Raptors are 4-0 in their last 4 games.

- The Knicks has loss 4 of their last 7 games.

- The Knicks has loss 3 of their last 5 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.

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 Under.The Under is 8-2 in the Rockets last 10 games. The Under is 9-1 in the Spurs last 10 games.

Wednesday’s FREE WINNER: UCLA BRUINS.

Game 749.

8:00 PM PST/11:00 PM EST.

These two teams are certainly at opposite ends of the Big Ten spectrum as UCLA is tied in the conference at 6-3, while Oregon is also tied at 1-8 in league action. The Bruins have dominated the Ducks, taking three in a row and seven of the last nine overall meetings SU, covering eight consecutive matchups in this rivalry. My friends, this does include the only meeting this season back at the beginning of December at home, 74-63. The Bruins come in here with an extra day to rest and prepare, following back-to-back victories, and overall, seven SU victories over their last 10 contests, while the Ducks are riding a six-game SU losing streak in which they have only covered one of those six outings. While neither team has a big game up deck, both will be focused in this game. The visiting team certainly has a little more offensively, and without question a significantly better and more frustrating defense than the home team. I also feel they'll dominate on the glass, pick Oregon apart from beyond the arc, and when the game gets physical, is superior from the free throw line. This line should be higher. Take UCLA. Thank you.

Free Play – Take #548 Boston -5.5 over Atlanta (7:40 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Jan. 28)

Atlanta has won and covered three in a row. This is the smallest road underdog the Hawks have been since Nov. 2023 against Boston, five games ago. Granted, beating Memphis and Indiana is not a big deal; nonetheless, Atlanta has done so. The Celtics have been a little off kilter against the spread on a 0-3 ATS downturn, not always focused of late. However, giving just 6.5 points to Atlanta is tempting because road teams like the Hawks playing in a contest where both teams average 91+ shots, who about average in team turnovers (14th), facing an opponent who is Top 5 in fewest TOs (#1), are 4-24 SU and most importantly, losing by 10.8 PPG in this exact situation.

DOUG UPSTONE is a super 117-76 college hoops run (56-38 current run) for over $3,200, on a 14-6 strong move in Hockey, 5-2 in the NBA and a 52-37 all sports run (+$1,100).

>CBB Hump Day Upset, Guaranteed! 56-38 Run

>NBA 100% Spot Play! 5-2 Move

>CBB Hump Day Terrific 2-Pack!  

Upstone is a highly decorated betting expert with 29 monitored titles in various sports and 110 Top 10 finishes in his stellar 23-year career.

*Free Play on Magic* The Orlando Magic are coming off a couple blowout losses. They need to get things turned around, and the situational spot here is tough for their opponent. The Miami Heat are coming off a five game road trip. That first game back is a difficult spot especially when laying points against a competitive team. I'll grab the points and the underdog.

(CBB 3 Pack is up for tonight. 12 straight CBB winners. Get on board!)

1* Free Sharp Play on Arkansas State -8½ -110

1* Free Pick on San Diego/Pepperdine: under 150

This 150-point total is way too high for two offenses that are currently broken. San Diego and Pepperdine are both sitting at the bottom of the West Coast Conference for a reason.

The Waves are averaging just 69.5 points per game this season. They are shooting a miserable 28.8% from three-point range as a team. You cannot expect a high-scoring affair when one side can't hit a shot from deep.

San Diego isn't much better on the road. The Toreros have lost five straight games away from home. They often see their offensive rhythm disappear when they leave their home floor.

When these two teams met earlier this month, the final score was 83-63. That game stayed under this current number by a comfortable margin. Both teams have actually regressed offensively since that meeting.

Pepperdine plays at a much slower tempo under Ed Schilling than in previous years. They want to work the shot clock and look for high-percentage looks that rarely materialize. This style keeps the possession count low and favors the Under.

Firestone Fieldhouse is also a unique, small environment that can be tough for visiting shooters to adjust to early. Expect a slow start with plenty of missed jumpers from both sides.

Neither team has the offensive depth to sustain a track meet for 40 minutes. If one team hits a scoring drought, this game has no chance of reaching the 150-point mark.

I like the Under 150 (-105).

I have seven premium releases available today across the NBA, NCAA-B, and the PGA Tour. These selections are backed by the same disciplined research and situational analysis I apply to all my handicapping. You can find my full card and all premium packages on my profile page.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Valparaiso +5

The Valparaiso Beacons are 9-3 SU and 8-3 ATS at home this season.  They are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last four conference home games beating Illinois-Chicago, Illinois State, Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois all by 6 points or more.

Now the Beacons want revenge from a 78-74 road loss at Belmont in their first meeting this season just two weeks ago on January 13th.  Belmont shot 56.1% from the field while Valpo shot 43.5%, yet it was still just a 4-point margin.  The Beacons got 10 offensive rebounds in that contest and should dominate the glass again.

This looks like the ultimate letdown spot for Belmont off five straight wins.  The Bruins are coming off a 80-69 home win over MVC contender Illinois State.  They shot 58% overall and 56.3% from 3-point range.  In their last four MVC road games, three were decided by 5 points or fewer with a 1-point loss at Indiana State, a 2-point win at Drake and a 5-point win at SIU.

After losing the first meeting by 7 on the road last year, Valparaiso got its revenge with a 101-86 home win over Belmont in the 2nd meeting.  They also have the rest and preparation advantage after having the last six days off.  I expect the Beacons to get their revenge here again and win this game outright.  Bet Valparaiso Wednesday.

Warriors vs Jazz NBA Free Pick

The Angle: This looks like a great spot to fade the Utah Jazz who will play on no rest following a 115-103 loss to the Clippers last night. The Golden State Warriors look to bounce back from a 108-83 loss at Minnesota, after defeating the Wolves the previous night, and they're 64% against the spread in 11 instances of laying nine points or more.

The Bet: WARRIORS (3%).
