NCAA-B | Fairfield vs Iona
Play on: Fairfield +3½ -110 at Ace

For my best free pick on Friday in College Basketball I am looking at the Metro Atlantic Conference and the Fairfield Stags at the Iona Gaels. Fairfield has not covered 4 straight games and Iona has gotten bettors the money in 2 straight and 4 of the last 6 against Fairfield. Fairfield better at scoring better at rebounding better from the foul line. Better team is getting points here and while that does not always add up to a win we should be able to squeeze a cover out of this one tonight. 

Play on the Fairfield Stags plus the points rotation #863

NBA | Raptors vs Magic
Play on: Raptors +1½ -105 at PlayMGM

Ricky's 1* play on TOR.

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.

- Toronto is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games.

- Orlando is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.

- Toronto is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

NBA | Kings vs Celtics
Play on: UNDER 221½ -110

David's NBA Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. The Celtics had one of their worst shooting performances of the season when they lost 117-106 to Atlanta on Wednesday. That game stayed under the total by just under 10 points, moving the Celtics to a 2-8 over/under record in their last 10 games. The under has a 70% hit rate in the last 10 meetings between these two teams, and the most recent matchup on New Year's Day stayed under. 

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the UNDER

NCAA-B | Michigan vs Michigan State
Play on: Michigan -105 at Bovada

1* Free Pick on Michigan -105

Michigan is the better basketball team right now and the market is telling you that with this short price. They enter this rivalry game with a significant advantage in offensive efficiency and floor spacing.

The Wolverines are currently ranking among the nation’s elite in effective field goal percentage. They move the ball quickly and consistently find open looks even against aggressive defenses.

Michigan State is struggling to find a rhythm on the offensive end this season. Their half-court sets often break down, leading to forced shots and low-percentage looks late in the shot clock.

The Spartans have been far too careless with the basketball throughout conference play. Michigan’s backcourt is disciplined and will turn those live-ball turnovers into easy transition points at the other end.

There is a clear gap in perimeter shooting between these two rosters. Michigan has multiple threats who can stretch the floor, while the Spartans lack consistent shooters to keep up in a high-possession game.

Michigan State’s defensive scheme is designed to protect the paint, but they struggle to close out on high-volume three-point teams. This system is a nightmare matchup for a Spartan defense that gets lost on screens.

Michigan has also proven they can hold their own on the glass. They are winning the rebounding battle in nearly every Big Ten game and limiting second-chance opportunities for their opponents.

The home-court advantage in East Lansing is already baked into this line, yet Michigan is still essentially a pick'em. That tells you the oddsmakers respect the Wolverines' talent much more than the Spartans' current form.

Michigan is 5-2 against the spread in their last seven trips to the Breslin Center. They won't be rattled by the atmosphere and have the veteran leadership to close this out late.

I like the Michigan ML (-105).


My premium card for today features two high-value selections in the NBA and NCAA-B. You can view my full analysis and locked-in plays for this evening by visiting my premium picks page.

NHL | Blue Jackets vs Blackhawks
Play on: UNDER 6½ -115

UNDER 6.5

Chicago and Columbus have value to the under. Columbus has caught fire and they have done it with success on both ends of the ice. They’ll likely go with Greaves in net, who owns a GAA of just 2.69. Knight has been just as good for Chicago, as he boasts a 2.59 GAA this season. Both goaltenders have played well as of late and we’ll get a game that is very slow developing throughout. 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

NHL | Blue Jackets vs Blackhawks
Play on: Blue Jackets -140 at betus

Blue Jackets vs Blackhawks NHL Free Pick

The Angle: The Columbus Blue Jackets are playing their best hockey of the season, coming into this game with six wins in their last seven. The Chicago Blackhawks are trending in the opposite direction with two wins in eight games.

With the Blackhawks winning just one of their last six as home underdogs and the Blue Jackets 12-4 as favorites on the season, I like the price we get on the road favorite in tonight's only NHL game. 

The Bet: BLUE JACKETS (3%). 

Moneymaking 68% (32-15), +$15,450 NBA totals run ($1,000 bets) dating back to December 09, 2025! Mike has a 3-Pack of NBA Totals going Friday, with his Pistons/Warriors NBA BE$T PLAY of the Day (10:00 PM ET) included!
