Central Michigan vs South Alabama Free Pick

The Angle: The South Alabama Jaguars are undefeated 3-0, including a solid upset win at Toledo. Central Michigan was spotted 9½ points last time out but was never even close to cover in a 85-54 loss, and I think the market is overestimating the Chippewas again. 

Play on: SOUTH ALABAMA (2%).

This is a FREE PLAY on the Florida Panthers.

I think the defending champs are well worth the price of admission on Thursday night in this matchup.

Washington is 8-7-1 overall, including 6-2 on the road, while Florida is 8-7-1 overall as well, including 5-1-1 at home.

The Panthers return home from a difficult West Coast road trip by going 2-2 and finishing with a 3-2 victory at Vegas on Tuesday.

Washington is playing the final game of a four-game road trip, losing at Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, before managing a 4-1 victory at Carolina as a +140 underdog last time out. But with a night off, before three straight at home, I think the visitors have another letdown here in this difficult road venue.

Logan Thompson is expected in net for the visitors, and he's 7-4 with a 1.56 goals against average, while the home side counters with Sergei Bobrovsky, who is 8-4 with a 2.68 GAA.

It's the first game of the year between the clubs, but one that I feel definitely favors the home side. Florida returns home after a win and is looking to kick off its home stand with a win, while Washington comes in flat on the final game of a four-game trip, but with a favorable home stretch to look forward to.

Consider the PANTHERS on Thursday night.

Good luck, NP

David's NBA Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The line looks mispriced considering how bookmakers have overvalued the Cavs early in the season, covering only three of eight spreads as favorites. The Raptors, who won 112-101 as 4½-point underdogs when hosting the Cavs on October 31, are riding a strong 5-1 SU and ATS streak, showing they have found their groove and offer good value as underdogs again.

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the RAPTORS on the SPREAD. 

(Free Play Over) ULM has played much quicker this year under Cunningham. Houston Christian and UL Monroe should both be happy to play against a lower level opponent here after being blasted by top teams in the early going. 

Both teams should see open jumpers and the spread here is at 8 points which is right in the area where a late foul fest is a possibility. We think this total is depressed by a few points. On the over.

1* FREE INFO PLAY Jets +13½ -115

For my best free pick on the board for Thursday in the NFL I am looking at a side here in the Jets and the Patriots. Patriots are running high winners of 7 straight games and off a big time statement win at Tampa Bay and now have to take on the lowly NY Jets. Jets though feeling good about themselves have won 2 straight games and no love lost here in this division rivalry. Pats have covered 6 of the last 7 games which should lead the droves of bettors here to back this New England team but not me I am gonna grab the abundance of points here. 

Play on the NY Jets plus the points rotation #311

This is a play on the KANSAS ST. WILDCATS for our Thursday Free Play. Kansas St. is coming off a disappointing 16-win season and the Wildcats have made changes coming into this season. Head coach Jerome Tang hired two new assistant coaches who he has worked with before so that familiarity is huge. They also nailed the transfer portal as they brought in five double-digit scorers with four hitting the starting lineup and the fifth, Marcus Johnson, could see the court after missing the first two games. Kansas St. has rolled over its two inferior opponents and while they take a step up in competition here, it is not a major step and this is the first of two home games in the five days before the Hall of Fame Classic and then going to Indiana. California is off to a 3-0 start with three home wins all of which it was favored by at least 15 points so this is the first real test for the Golden Bears as well. They are coming off a 14-win season which actually is tied with the 2019-20 team for the most wins since 2016-17 so it has been a near decade of futility. There are not many expectations this season as they are picked No. 15 in the 18-team ACC and are already playing short-handed as DJ Campbell, one of two returning starters, has yet to see the floor and is doubtful again tonight. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a blowout win by 20 points or more going up against an opponent after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half. This situation is 81-35 ATS (69.8 percent) since 2022. Play (760) Kansas St. Wildcats

Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on Vegas over New York at 10:05 pm et on Thursday.

The Knights can't get out of their own way right now, losers of three straight games on their current homestand. I do like their chances of ending that slide in the finale of the homestand on Thursday, however. New York checks in off consecutive 'upset' wins over the Rangers and Devils to open its current seven-game road trip. This is a tough spot as it travels across the country to face a rested and desperate Knights squad. While the price is fairly steep, I believe it's warranted as Vegas certainly doesn't want to head out on the road riding an extended losing streak. Take Vegas.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #401 Over in Iowa Hawkeyes @ Southern Cal Trojans (3:30p.m., Saturday, November 15 BTN) Iowa did not score many points last week hosting Oregon, but weather played a major role in that game. USC is a much better team at home and I expect them to have their way in this game scoring points. For Iowa to stay competitive, they must match them in scoring. Iowa has not been as inept on offense this season, as they have scored at least 24 points in their 3 games prior to last week. We expect both teams to reach the twenties in points and that should put us in good shape to collect with the over.
