Saturday's CBB Free Pick 

PLAY ON: UCF +4.5

Kings vs Flyers NHL Free Pick

The Angle: The Philadelphia Flyers are 6-13 at home as underdogs or favorites >=-125, fading them blindly would have given a 25% ROI. Both teams are coming off losses, but the Kings have been playing well lately while the Flyers are 2-7-1 in their last 10. 

The Bet: KINGS (2%). 

Stellar 72% (13-5) NBA totals run and sizzling 19-9 (68%) NHL premium pick run!

Free Play on Indiana State -2 -110

1* Free Pick on LSU -2½

LSU is the clear side in this SEC showdown.
The Tigers have a massive rest advantage coming into Columbia today.

LSU hasn't played since their home win on Tuesday night.
South Carolina had to grind out a physical road game on Wednesday and looks gassed.

The Gamecocks have struggled to protect the rock all season.
They rank near the bottom of the conference in turnover percentage.

LSU’s defense thrives on those mistakes.
The Tigers are elite at turning steals into fast-break points and easy transition buckets.

LSU also holds a big edge in shooting efficiency.
They are hitting over 38% of their shots from deep in conference play.

South Carolina’s perimeter defense has been leaky lately.
They allow too many open looks to teams that move the ball well and find the extra pass.

The Gamecocks are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning record.
LSU is 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and loves playing in hostile environments.

The Tigers have the better athletes and the fresher legs.
They will wear South Carolina down over the final ten minutes of the second half.

Expect LSU to control the tempo and pull away late at the free-throw line.
The line is way too low for a team with this much of a talent and rest gap.

Bet LSU -2.5.

1* on Northeastern +4½

*Free Play Under* The Towson Tigers and Hampton Pirates are both very happy with a slow pace. They are 344th and 312th in overall tempo (out of 365 teams). The two teams are 340th and 347th in effective field goal percentage offense as well. 

Hampton's defense has struggled the most this year when they are up against a team that excels at getting to the free throw line. Towson is 313th in FTA/FGA, so they are unlikely to be a team that takes advantage of that weakness.

Hampton's offense relies heavily on getting to the line, but Towson is 75th in FTA/FGA allowed. 

Take the under.

(15-1 last 16 college hoops plays! Saturday Trifecta Value Pack is up. Get on board!) 

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

We'll grab the points with Ohio on Saturday as it looks to shake off a two-game losing streak and earn a split of this two-game road trip. Buffalo on the other hand figures to be breathing a sigh of relief after it avoided a sixth straight loss with an 'upset' win at Bowling Green last time out. The Bulls shot a blistering 29-of-52 from the field to secure that victory. Note that Buffalo faces an Ohio team that has been rounding into form defensively, holding three of its last four opponents to 24 or fewer made field goals. The problem for the Bobcats has been their inability to take advantage of their scoring opportunities. They hoisted up 61 and 64 field goal attempts over their last two games but connected on only 20 and 19. That's certainly uncharacteristic of them as they had made good on 25 or more field goals in eight straight games prior to that. They'll certainly be afforded their share of opportunities against a Bulls team that has yielded 34, 31, 38, 27, 26 and 31 made field goals over their last six contests. While Buffalo does own the better overall record in this matchup this season, Ohio took the previous meeting by double-digits and has faced the more difficult schedule this season. Take Ohio.

David's NCAAB Free Pick

We really like the road team in this matchup. The line appears to be influenced by Hofstra's five-game losing streak, but we think this is an overreaction. In fact, the Pride's last win was an OT triumph over the Hawks on January 10, so it seems fitting that Hofstra gets back on track by defeating them again.

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on HOFSTRA.

Ricky's 1* play on SJ.

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.

- San Jose is 10-5 SU in its last 15 games.

- Calgary is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games.

- Calgary is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games at home.

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

#714 ASA FREE PLAY ON Troy -7.5 over Appalachian State, Saturday at 4:30 PM ET - We’re getting the best team in the Sun Belt at home off a rare home loss. Troy lost at home vs JMU on Thursday as a 9.5 point favorite. The Trojans, the best offense in the conference, shot just 36% (3rd lowest of the season) and averaged only 0.97 PPP. In conference play Troy is shooting 46% and averaging 1.18 PPP so their numbers on Thursday were well below their averages. They were held to 64 points and this team averages 86 PPG (17th nationally). It was simply a poor performance and an outlier. Good teams bounce back off poor performances and that’s exactly what we expect to happen in this game. Prior to their loss on Thursday the Trojans had covered 5 straight at home and in league play all but 1 of their home wins have come by double digits. They lead the Sun Belt in scoring margin at +10 PPG. Troy is catching App State off a road win @ Southern Miss on Thursday and now the Mountaineers are playing their 2nd of back to back road games in less than 48 hours. App State is 7-4 in league play (Troy is 8-2) but they’ve faced the easiest schedule in Sun Belt play having faced only 1 of the top 5 teams in the conference (per KenPom) and that was a 7 point loss vs Marshall. The Mountaineers have the top defensive efficiency numbers in the conference, however they’ve faced only 2 teams in league play ranked in the top 200 in offensive efficiency and they allowed 1.25 and 1.11 PPP in those 2 games. The Mountaineers have faced a schedule who has an average offensive efficiency rank of 296th to their overall defensive numbers are misleading. On offense they are not a good shooting team, especially from 3 where they shoot 31% and their FT shooting is terrible at 62%. Troy will be the 2nd highest rated team App State has played this entire season (Ohio State was 1st) and our power ratings have Troy closer to a 10 point favorite in this one. Let’s lay it.

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: BYU COUGARS.

Game 691.

1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST.

After a 16-1 start to the campaign, the BYU Cougars have dropped two of their last three outings. Granted, they were against two of the best teams in the country and the Texas Tech red Raiders, and the Arizona Wildcats, but I feel this team comes up big here today on the road at the Kansas Jayhawks. Yes, I will also admit this team has failed to cover five straight contests. But they must bounce back here today if they're going to make a run in the Big 12. They have been less than stellar against the spread this season covering just eight of their 20 games played, but enter today's matchup with their backs up against the wall needing a victory, and with some momentum in this rivalry. The Cougars took the last two meetings against the Jayhawks over the last two seasons, the 2024 matchup on the road, 76-68, and the 2025 meeting at home, 91-57. Speaking of Kansas, after struggling a bit early this month, they have now rattled off four consecutive wins and covers. Both teams have talented backcourts and very strong front court talent. While the Jayhawks defense certainly boasts better statistics, the Cougars offense has been absolutely incredible. There's also a bit of a mismatch on the defensive glass, benefiting the visitor here. This game will be won in the paint, and I feel BYU can compete very well down low. They also need this one. Take BYU. Thank you.

1* NCAAB - Indiana/UCLA FREE PICK on UCLA -3.5

1 Unit FREE PLAY on UCLA -3.5

The Indiana Hoosiers are coming off an upset win over their biggest rivals in the Purdue Boilermakers.  This looks like a flat spot for the Hoosiers now.  They only have three days off since beating the Boilermakers plus the travel clear out to UCLA.  This is a terrible spot for the Hoosiers, who are just 2-4 SU in true road games this season.  The Bruins are a perfect 11-0 at home this season with one of the best home-court advantages in the Big Ten.  A lot of that has to do with how far their conference opponents have to travel to play them.  It's fatiguing, and the Hoosiers likely won't even get off the bus after that win over Purdue.  Give me UCLA.

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.

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 Under. The Under is 5-2 in Nashville's last 7 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference. The Under is 4-1 in NY Islanders' last 5 games.

Maple Leafs -139

21-16 57% +367 free play run! Toronto is worth a move against the Canucks. The Maple Leafs are struggling with now and a visit with the Canucks is just what they need to turn it around. Vancouver has just two wins all month long and they’re struggling on both ends of the ice. They give up 3.61 gpg and only average 2.57 offensively and they’ll struggle against a Toronto team that plays extremely quick.

At 7:15 eastern the NHL Totals play is on the Over 6.5 goals in the Montreal at Buffalo. This has been a high scoring series with 6+ goals in 7 straight. Montreal has flown over in 5 of the last 7. The Sabres have gone over in 6 of the last 7 at home. In a battle of two teams with almost identical records we will back the over in what looks like a higher scoring game. Play Montreal and Buffalo over the total. GL Rob V-
