Ray Monohan

Feb 18 '26, 6:00 PM in 9h
NCAA-B | Lafayette vs Holy Cross
Play on: Holy Cross +1½ -120 at PlayMGM

Holy Cross +1.5

Holy Cross is worth a free move Wednesday. Holy Cross has struggled as of late, but the silver lining for them is they play much better at home vs on the road. Lafayette has had a ton of offensive issues and their inability to score in transition has been their biggest struggle. They only put up 68 ppg and this is a matchup where Holy Cross will have the advantage given the pace. 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 HOLY CROSS +1.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NCAA-B | Bradley vs Valparaiso
Play on: Valparaiso +2½ -108 at Draft Kings

#676 ASA FREE PLAY ON Valparaiso +2.5 over Bradley, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - We faded Bradley on Sunday @ Southern Illinois and took the loss as they Braves upended the Salukis 70-60 as a 3 point dog. Let’s take a closer look at how that game played out. SIU shot just 37% and worse yet, they are 0 for 15 from 3 point land. Yes you read that correctly. Bradley outscored SIU by 27 points from beyond the arc and only won by 10. It’s not as if the Braves are a lock down defense ranking 218th in eFG% allowed and 246th defending the arc. Just a terrible shooting day for SIU. Prior to that win, the Braves did have 3 road wins in MVC play, however all 3 were vs the lowest 3 rated teams in the league and 2 of those wins came in OT. Valpo continues to be undervalued by the market. They are 17-9 ATS this year and they have risen almost 150 spots in the KenPom power ratings since the start of the year. The Crusaders have faced the toughest strength of schedule in conference play yet they are still 8-8 in league play. They lost their first MVC home game this season back in December to Murray State by 6 and they have since only lost 1 home tilt. That was vs Belmont who is in 1st place with a 14-3 record and that was by just 1 point. These 2 met @ Bradley just 2 weeks ago and the Braves pulled out a 72-65 win as an 7.5 point favorite. Valpo only made 4 of 10 FT’s in the game (they hit 71% on the season) and that was the difference with Bradley making 7 more FT’s which was the margin in the game. Everything else was almost dead even including shooting percentage, 3 point makes, rebounding and turnovers. Our power ratings have this game at dead even so we’ll take the value on the home dog.

NCAA-B | Creighton vs Connecticut
Play on: UNDER 143 -110

Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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 Under is 9-2 Connecticut's last 11 games against Creighton.

- The Under is 4-1 Creighton's last 5 games when playing on the road against Connecticut.

- The The total has gone UNDER in 2 of Creighton last 3 road games

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

NCAA-B | Arkansas vs Alabama
Play on: OVER 183 -110

The Razorbacks are putting up 88 or more points in three straight games. Alabama has put up 89 or more points in four straight, 93 or more in three of those four. Both teams can light it up from beyond the arc, and defense is not in their vocabulary. 

Play on the OVER. This is a free play.

PSP Data Driven 1* Arkansas.

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. Arkansas is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games played in February. Alabama is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games at home.

NCAA-B | Oklahoma vs Tennessee
Play on: Tennessee -11 -110 at Buckeye

Wednesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Tennessee minus the points over Oklahoma at 7 pm et on Wednesday.

We'll lay the points with Tennessee on Wednesday as it looks to run its winning streak to three games and avoid a second straight ATS defeat in the the process. The Volunteers not only own the better overall record in this matchup this season but they've also faced the more difficult schedule. The Sooners have come out of a miserable stretch by winning (and covering) their last two games against Vanderbilt and Georgia. In those contests they quite simply shot the lights out. I think they'll be in tough in this matchup, however, noting that Tennessee has held four of its last five opponents to 25 or fewer made field goals. On the flip side, Oklahoma has played matador-like defense for much of the season, most recently allowing four of its last five opponents to connect on 30+ field goals. We'll call for the Vols to roll on Wednesday. Take Tennessee.

David's CBB Free Pick

We really like the road team in this matchup. Clemson lost but covered the spread at Duke last time out. With Clemson 11-5 after an ATS win and Wake Forest 1-4 ATS after back-to-back wins we think the Tigers will get the better of the Demon Deacons tonight. 

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on CLEMSON.

NCAA-B | Maryland vs Northwestern
Play on: Northwestern -8 -110 at circa

This is a FREE PLAY on Northwestern.

Northwestern lost this game 74-61 at Maryland last year, but the Wildcats have the clear advantage here now at home this season in my opinion.

Northwestern is 7-6 at home, while Maryland is just 2-7 on the road. 

The Terps are off a 68-57 loss at Rutgers, while the Wildcats are now desperate to snap a five-game slide.

Each team has played better at home than on the road this season and with Northwestern playing as the more desperate team, I believe these two factors will propel the Wildcats to a solid win and cover.

But, what about you? Do you think the Wildcats can cover the spread, or will Maryland sneak in through the backdoor down the stretch?!

Good luck, NP

NCAA-B | BYU vs Arizona
Play on: Arizona -11 -110 at circa

BYU vs Arizona CBB Free Pick

The Angle(s): This looks like an absolute smash spot for an Arizona Wildcats team coming off back-to-back losses to Kansas and Texas Tech. They have a some injury concerns, but should have enough depth to take care of a BYU team 0-4 against the spread as underdogs. 

The Bet: ARIZONA.
