#650 ASA FREE PLAY ON Vanderbilt -2 over Florida, Saturday at 2 PM ET - Vandy is coming off their first loss off the season @ Texas in their worst performance of the year. They shot just 37% (the average 49%) and they allowed the Longhorns to make 53% of their shots (Vandy D allows 40% on the season). They looked “off” the entire game and that might just be because they were looking ahead to this huge home game vs Florida. The Gators will be playing their 2nd of back to back road games after topping Oklahoma on Tuesday. It was their first true road win of the season after losses @ Duke and @ Missouri. If we throw in their neutral site games, the Gators have a record of 4-5 this season. The Commodores are the better shooting team (49% to 46%) and the MUCH better 3 point shooting team hitting 37% (top 50) compared to the Gators making only 28% from beyond the arc (353rd). The Vandy defense allows just 28% from deep (9th in the nation) and Florida’s weakness on D is defending the arc ranking 164th. Needless to say, with those numbers we look for Vanderbilt to have a big edge from 3 point land in this game. Florida is getting too much respect in this one in our opinion (overvalued with a 7-10 ATS record). This isn’t the National Championship team of the last season. They only have 2 wins this season vs teams in KenPom’s top 60 while Vandy already has 7 wins vs the top 60. This is a very short number for one of the best teams in the country at home and coming off a loss. We’ll lay it.

(#306567) Bucknell Bison | ATS | .

I had Bucknell earlier this month against Lehigh and was victorious and am playing on it again this weekend. The Bison haven't been as good as I expected them to be this year at all. But, there's still plenty of season remaining to start clawing away at the standings. They have covered ATS in three consecutive meetings with Colgate entering today's game. 

The Raiders haven't been fantastic either, losing to Lehigh on this court last time out. I do believe that Colgate is the stronger team. But, laying this many points after that most recent home performance is definitely not the play. Bucknell's been slowly chipping away. Grab the points. 

Burns' Prediction: 78-73 Bucknell.

Saturday CBB Free play. My selection is on Iowa plus the points over Indiana at 2 pm et on Saturday.

Both of these teams enter this Big Ten showdown reeling with Iowa having lost three games in a row and Indiana checking in off back-to-back defeats. We'll grab the points with the Hawkeyes on Saturday. While the Hawkeyes and Hoosiers own identical overall records this season, Iowa has faced the slightly more difficult schedule by most metrics. I like the fact that the Hawkeyes have continued to 'fill it up' despite their recent struggles to find victories, knocking down 25 or more field goals in three straight and eight of their last nine games. The Hoosiers have allowed their last four opponents to connect on 26, 25, 29 and 27 field goals and have been limited to 26 or less made field goals themselves in two straight and five of their last seven contests. Take Iowa.

Jazz vs Mavericks NBA Free Pick

The Angle: The Utah Jazz are 26-15 to the over on the season but 10-8 to the under as road underdogs. With the Dallas Mavericks 6-3 to the under as home favorites and the under hitting at a 55% clip in games with totals of 240 or higher across the NBA this season, 60% when the home teams is the favorite, I think this sets up nicely for an under in Dallas on Saturday. 

The Bet: UNDER (3%).

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 8-4 in Colorado's last 12 games.

- The Under is 4-1 in West Virginia's last 5 games.

- The Under is 5-1 in West Virginia's last 6 games against an opponent in the Big 12 conference.

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

David's NBA Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Pacers have been money lately, going 5-1 against the spread in their last six games, with the non-cover coming in a loss as short home favorites over Toronto. The Pistons have had a fast start to the season, but they're .500 against the spread as double-digit favorites. 

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the PACERS.

*Free Play Over* The Cal State Fullerton Titans are consistently pushing the pace this year. They are playing faster than anyone else in the Big West in league play, and there are a lot of teams who are running. I think Riverside's defense which lacks shot blockers and quickness will struggle to keep Fullerton in front of them. 

Fullerton commits plenty of fouls and they have been weak on defense especially away from home. UC Riverside's offense should be able to do some damage too. 

Take the over.

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.
