NHL | Oilers vs Canucks
Play on: UNDER 6½ -106

UNDER 6.5

Vancouver and Edmonton have value to the under. This is a good spot to expect both teams to slow the game down. Vancouver continues to lose and they’re just not scoring as they have scored just 1 goal in each of their last two games. Edmonton was shutout against the Islanders and they have become a little inconsistent offensively themselves. Expect a very slow style game. Back the under. 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 UNDER 6.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray

PSP Data Driven 1* Canucks.

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. The Oilers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games. The Canucks are 6-4 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

NCAA-B | Wichita State vs South Florida
Play on: South Florida -7½ -110 at Jazz

Sunday the release of the 2026 NFL PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR and a Triple Perfect Team TOP PROP. CBB Comp play below

The College hoops comp play is on South Florida at 2 eastern. The Bulls are a solid 7-1 at home and have conference tournament knockout revenge on Wichita St today. The Bulls are rolling right now and have won 5 of the last 6 overall. The Shockers are a paltry 10-8 on the year and have lost 3 of the last 4. Rob Notes that Conference home favorites off a home favored win and a prior win cover over 75% long term if they have home loss revenge and the opponent is off a road dog loss in a game where the total is 150 or higher. Look for South Florida to cover.. GL Rob V

NFL | Rams vs Bears
Play on: OVER 48 -110

Rams vs Bears 
6:30 EST, Sunday, January 18 
Soldier Field, Chicago 
5-Unit bet on the OVER currently priced at 48.5 points 

Live Betting Strategy: Consider betting 5 units preflop on the OVER and then add the remaining 2 units at 45.5 points. If you are expecting scoring volatility to be lower/slower, then consider betting 4 Units preflop, 2 units at 45.5 points and 1 unit at 42.5 points. The second quarter had the highest average scoring quarter (13.6 points) in the divisional round. So, if there is going to be a slower than usual quarter, the first quarter would be the one.  

Here is a situational betting algorithm that has gone 18-9-1 OVER for 67% winning bets over the past 15 seasons, including the playoffs. The requirements are: 

Bet the OVER with a team coming off a home win. 

In that home win they trailed by 17 or more points at the half. 

The following NFL betting algorithm has produced solid results with a 17-9 OVER record for 65.4% winning bets since 2010. The requirements are:  

Bet the OVER with a home teams playing in the divisional round of the playoffs. 

In their Wild Card game, the home team saw the OVER win the money and covered it by 7 or more points. 

In addition, divisional round favorites that scored 30 or more points in their Wild Card win has seen the OVER compile a profitable 25-14 mark for 64% winning bets since 2002; 16-8 OVER for 70% winning bets when they scored 34 or more points. 

The Rams went OVER their team total by 6 points. The OVER is 22-10 for 69% winning bets in the divisional round of the playoffs with a team coming off a game in which they went OVER their team total by 6 or more points. 

10-UNIT MAX NFL Divisional Round Titan Bet goes this weekend so do not miss out and get it now for 25% off the regular price.

Ryan is 12-2 ATS over his last 14, 10-UNIT MAX bet releases and this one is backed by an incredible 92% ATS situation that will blow your mind and a ton more.

NBA | Raptors vs Lakers
Play on: Lakers -120 at Draft Kings

Ricky's 1* play on LAL.

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 Lakers are 6-0 SU in the last six head to head meetings. 

- The Raptors are 9-11 without RJ Barrett this season. 

- Luka Doncic sat out last night's game, and should be good to go vs Toronto. 

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.
