NCAA-B | UNLV vs Colorado State
Play on: Colorado State -6½ -110 at Bovada

This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS for our Friday Free Play. Colorado St. is coming off a 10-point loss at home against New Mexico which was its second straight home loss and the Rams have opened 1-3 in the Mountain West Conference after finishing 16-4 last season in their second place finish. Colorado St. lost head coach Nico Medved to Minnesota and that seems to be part of the issue but this team needs to regain its mojo following a 9-2 start with those two losses coming by two points each and regain its dominant home court. The Rams are one of 10 programs in the nation shooting over 50.0 percent overall, 35.0 percent from behind the arc and 75.0 percent from the free throw line. UNLV opened 2-0 in the conference but those wins were against Fresno St. and Air Force, two of the four lowest ranked NET teams in the MWC with the Rebels also holding down one of those four spots. They are coming off their first conference loss, a 32-point setback at Wyoming on Tuesday. While the Rams are No. 19 in the country in free throw shooting, UNLV is No. 329 at 66.3 percent. Play (894) Colorado St. Rams

16-10 L3 Days. CFB 28-13 run after Miami Winner and extended Friday with the Peach Bowl. CBB 112-96-1 Run with THREE winners for Friday. NBA 17-6-1 Run extended tonight. 241-209-10 NFL Run. THREE Wild Card Winners.

NCAA-B | Wisconsin vs Michigan
Play on: OVER 165½ -105

The Saturday Comp play is on the Over 165 in the Wisconsin at Michigan game at 1 eastern. Michigan is 14-0 and has scored 86 or more in each of their home games. They welcome in a Wisconsin team that has a nice 10-5 record but has played one true road game and allowed 90 to Nebraska. Game 15 home favorites like the Wolverines that are undefeated  and favored by at least 15 points are 17 of 20 over long term in conference games if they scored more than 60 in their last game and the total is 133 or higher. Michigan played tight in a 2 point win at Penn St as a 24 point favorite last out but likely will be much better here. Look for the Badgers to get drawn into a fast game that plays over the total.
