NCAA-B | Georgetown vs Villanova
Play on: Villanova -7 -110 at betonline
Game Analysis

(#736) Villanova Wildcats | ATS | . 

Georgetown had to play on Wednesday, sneaking past DePaul in a low scoring encounter. This time around, I don't think the Hoyas are going to have nearly as many stops. At times throughout this season, they've had struggles on both of the ball. They just aren't on the same level as the top teams in the Big East and that includes this Villanova team.

The Wildcats beat Georgetown by seven on the road back in February. One thing to point out is that Nova shot horrifically bad in that game from the free throw line, making only 14 of its 28 attempts. I don't expect that bad of a performance whatsoever today. In a neutral site game, give me the Wildcats.

Burns' Prediction: 83-66 Nova.

NHL | Ducks vs Maple Leafs
Play on: Ducks -105 at betonline
Game Analysis

The Maple Leafs are strictly fade material at this point of the season. Their one-time optimism shattered by an eight-game losing streak, their longest since the 2014-15 season.

You have to go all the way back to Feb. 3 to find out when Toronto last won. During this eight-game losing streak, the Maple Leafs are averaging 1.8 goals, while surrendering an average of 4.3 goals. Toronto team captain and supposed star Auston Matthews has not scored a goal in 12 straight games.

Anaheim, by contrast, is having a banner season and is hot. The Ducks are leading the Pacific Division. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games. The Ducks have scored four or more goals in seven of their last 10 games. They just defeated Winnipeg, 4-1, on the road two days ago.

The oddsmaker is putting way too much stock in Toronto being at home. The Maple Leafs have dropped eight consecutive home games.

 (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 19-6-1 on his last 26 NHL premium/free plays. Stephen also is 20-8 on his last 28 NBA premium plays and 13-6-1 on his last 20 college basketball premium/free plays. Don't miss any of Stephen's winners!)

NCAA-B | Northwestern vs Purdue
Play on: Northwestern +12 -105 at betonline
Game Analysis

Joe D was just 1-pt away from sweeping the NCAAB TOURNEY BOARD Wednesday. Today WE SWEEP! I have the STRONGEST NCAAB DAILY CARD THUS FAR THIS SEASON. Join me, and together we will SWEEP THE BOARD.

Thursday's Free play: Northwestern Wildcats.

Northwest has been playing some very good basketball. Not only are they winning, they are covering the number, as well. The Wildcats have covered four in a row and seven of their last 10 overall outings. The last two days, they bested the Nittany Lions by 10-points, and then yesterday they took down the Hoosiers, a game in which they were nearly about a 7.0-point underdog, 74-61. Are they due for a letdown? Are they stepping up in class significantly? For the first question, I would say I don't know for sure. For the second, it is certain that they are stepping up in class. The Boilermakers are a darn good basketball team. Granted, they are not the team they were over recent seasons, and they have failed to cover four straight, while losing three of their last four. However, three of those matchups were against Michigan State at home, Ohio State on the road, and Wisconsin at home. Yes, the last meeting between these two teams took place just eight days ago as Northwestern lost a heartbreaker, 70-66. Laying double-digits is never an easy thing especially this time of year. It's true, the Wildcats don't have the most explosive offense, despite having one of the best players in the conference in Nick Martinelli. But the Boilermakers squad consists of three double-digit scorers, one player just under DD's, a few others flirting with it. They outscore opponents by an average of 11.6 PPG and are very good on the defensive boards. They are considerably better on the offensive boards in this matchup, too. And let's not forget they are one of the best in the nation from downtown. If this line would've been a little higher, I would've come in with the underdog just to side with a team that's been money covering for us bettors. I do feel it will be a bit closer than the pointspread. But I am not so sure that I would put them on as a premium play. I still like it. Take Northwestern. Thank you.

Play on: OVER 6 -115
Game Analysis

OVER 6

Colorado and Seattle have value to the over. This is an Avs team that typically bounces back in a big way and they’re in after a 4-3 loss to Seattle. Colorado puts up 3.78 gpg while Seattle has been involved in a lot of high scoring games recently. This has the makings of a wide open game with a lot shots on net both ways, as these teams love to pepper the opposing goal. Expect a lot of scoring chances. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the OVER 6. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NBA | Bulls vs Lakers
Play on: Bulls +11½ -115 at Bovada
Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Chicago Bulls +11.5

The Chicago Bulls aren't tanking.  They have gone 3-2 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall with upset road wins over the Warriors and Suns, as well as an upset home win over the Bucks.  They also took the Thunder to the wire in their other cover.

Josh Giddey is back healthy and coming off consecutive triple-doubles.  With him leading the show, the Bulls can be competitive.  Tre Jones is also great at running the offense alongside Giddey, plus when he hits the bench.  The Bulls are a much more competent team than they get credit for.

This looks like the letdown spot for the Lakers.  They have gone 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three games overall while coming off consecutive huge home wins over the Timberwolves and Knicks.  They have the Nuggets followed by the Rockets on deck, making this the ultimate sandwich spot for them.

The Lakers will be without Marcus Smart and their defense will take a hit as a result.  LeBron James remains questionable.  The Bulls are 6-3 SU & 5-4 ATS in their last nine meetings with the Lakers.  Chicago hasn't lost to Los Angeles by more than 11 points in any of their last 12 meetings.  Bet the Bulls Thursday.

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on Atlanta Hawks -15

The Key: The Atlanta Hawks are 7-0 SU & 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall.  All 7 wins have come by 9 points or more as they are blowing out the opposition on the regular.  They take on the tanking Brooklyn Nets, who are coming off a 38-point home loss to the Cavaliers.  The Nets are 2-10 SU & 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall.  They are resting Michael Porter Jr., Egor Demin, Sharpe and Traore tonight.  They have no interest in winning games right now.  The Hawks are hungry to make the playoffs and are still very much alive to win the division.  Take Atlanta.

Game Analysis

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Washington Wizards +15

I have to think the Washington Wizards will show a little pride tonight after giving up 83 points to Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat last game.  But this is more of a fade of the Orlando Magic, who are a tired team playing the second of a back-to-back.  The Magic are coming off a 128-122 home win over the Cavaliers last night.  They are without Franz Wagner and Anthony Black who are both key players on this team and will be short-handed tonight.  Don't be surprised if others rest tonight after all five starters played 32 minutes or more last night.  Give me the Wizards.

Play on: Toluca -1½ +105 at Bovada
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc's Sports. Liga MX Soccer Take Toluca -1.5 GL over Atlas (9 p.m. EST, Saturday March 14) The two-time defending champs from Toluca host Atlas in Liga MX Matchday 11 this Saturday from Estadio Nemesio Diez. Atlas has been better this season than last, when they were one of the most porous defensive sides in the Liga. They have been respectable in that area. However, Atlas is not anywhere near the level of side that Toluca has. Toluca have the third best offense in the league through ten matches and they have the best defense by far, as they have allowed five goals through 10 matches. The next best defensive side has allowed eight, for comparisons sake, while the worst defensive side has allowed 26. Atlas is very unlikely to score here. Atlas is one of the worst road sides in Liga MX this season as they have three points in four tries, and they have scored only three goals while allowing eight. Toluca has four wins and a draw in five home matches, with 10 goals scored and three conceded. And in their last two visits to Toluca, Atlas lost both matches by an identical 4-1 score. We think we will see a similar result here!

Atlanta (34–31) has been strong at home and is facing a Brooklyn team that’s 17–48 with one of the league’s worst point differentials. The Hawks’ offense should overwhelm a Nets defense that has collapsed over the last month.
