Sports Handicapper Brian Bitler's Picks & Predictions

For one of my top plays today I am backing the Pitt Panthers laying the points or on the ML if it’s a better price. Line tells us all we need to know here as Pittsburgh comes in under .500 7-9 but are favored here slightly on the road. Pitt off 3 straight losses this team is now or never and they have the better roster top to bottom. Other then Duke GTech has played no one.

Love the Cavs here plus the points on Wednesday night over my home town Sixers. Cavs had a rough start to the season but SU and especially ATS wise but we have seen life from this team as of late beating Minnesota at home but then losing to the Jazz of all teams. Still this line screams bet the Sixers at home and what seems to good to be true most times is. Cavs have owned the Sixers head to head winning 4 of the last 5. Now is the time to buy in low on the Cavaliers.

Ottawa finally broke a 4 game losing streak with a win the Rangers they have looked pretty hopeless over the last 10 games or so going 2-8. Only down side with the Senators here tonight as they are on a back to back spot here but I expect this Senators team to make a big time playoff push. Get in on this one asap as the lone should rise as the day goes on.

**Wednesday's Best Free Pick: Wyoming Cowboys + the Points vs. San Diego State Aztecs**

For my top free selection on the board tonight, I'm eyeing the Mountain West matchup where the Wyoming Cowboys host the San Diego State Aztecs at Arena-Auditorium in Laramie. The Aztecs are the slight favorite (around -1.5 to -2.5 depending on the book), and I understand the reasoning—SDSU has the bigger name, a strong 5-0 start in conference play, and a lengthy win streak over Wyoming historically.

But for my money, **Wyoming is the better value here and flying under the radar this season**. The Cowboys are a perfect **9-1 straight up at home** this year, defending their high-altitude court exceptionally well in one of the toughest environments in the conference. Offensively, Wyoming is averaging more points per game (around 84 PPG) than the Aztecs (82.5 PPG), and they're shooting efficiently from the field while forcing turnovers and controlling the glass.

Look for the Cowboys to hang tough early, feed off the home crowd, and pull away—or at least cover comfortably—midway through the second half as fatigue sets in for the visitors.

**Play: Wyoming Cowboys + the points** (grab the best number available—value is strong as underdogs at home).

**Don't miss my Titanium Best Bet winner in the NBA tonight!**  

My Titanium plays are scorching hot at **78-40 (66%) over the last 118**, and my overall NBA plays are **50-26 (66%) over the last 76**. Locked and loaded—let's keep the momentum rolling!

I am going with Butler here on the road laying any points. Line tells us all we need to know. Buying in low on Butler this team has lost 3 straight last one in embarrassing fashion 84-70 at home. Meanwhile Xavier off a blowout win at home should have bettors confidence in this one. Butler 0-3 on the road SU while Xavier 8-3 at home SU so why is Butler favored here? Because Butler is the obvious better team they have played a tough schedule so far this season look for them to grab this win here on the road. 

Play on Butler minus the points rotation #681

For my best bet here on Wednesday I am going with the Dallas Mavericks over the Denver Nuggets. Nuggets without their heart and soul but still winning games and still attracting the bulk of bettors and tonight should be no different but this team is on back to back spot and 3 games in 4 night stretch. Look for the Mavs to pull away in the 4th quarter. 

Play on the Dallas Mavericks here minus or plus the points rotation #568
