ASA

Jan 15 '26, 7:00 PM in 3h
NCAA-B | Queens NC vs Florida Gulf Coast
Play on: Florida Gulf Coast +3½ -118 at Draft Kings

#306530 ASA PLAY ON Florida Gulf Coast +3.5 over Queens, Thursday at 7 PM ET - Huge home game for FGCU who sits at 1-3 in ASUN play but they are ranked per KenPom as the 4th best team in the conference. They are coming off back to back home losses vs Austin Peay and Lipscomb, who are the 2 highest rated teams in the league. That puts the Eagles in must win mode at home as they can’t afford to fall too far behind in the conference race. Tonight they take on Queens who is playing their 3rd straight road game in the span of 8 days. The Royals are 4-0 in conference play but they haven’t faced any of the top 5 teams in the Atlantic Sun and 2 of their wins have come against the 2 worst teams in the league, Jacksonville and North Florida. Both of those 2 opponents are ranked outside the top 300 and those are the Royals only 2 road wins this season. They also just happened to come last Thursday and Saturday, so Queens is off 2 straight road wins vs bad teams and now take a solid step up in their 3rd straight road game vs a desperate team. Overall for the season the Royals are 2-7 SU on the road losing by an average of 15 PPG. They shoot just 44% away from home while allowing their opponents to make 52% of their shots. Their defense stinks 340th in efficiency, 336th in opponent’s eFG%, and 343rd defending the arc. They’ll have rough time tonight facing an FGCU offense that hits 47% of their shots at home and averages 86 PPG. Queens hasn’t beaten a single top 200 team this season (FGCU ranks 189th) and we don’t see them winning on the road here. We like Florida Gulf Coast to get the outright win or, at the very least, the underdog ATS cover at home tonight.

NCAA-B | Elon vs Northeastern
Play on: OVER 161 -110

*Free Play Over* No I don't think there will be 194 points in this matchup like there were when these two met in late December. The shooting percentages in that one were very high.

Still, I think this total is set too low. Northeastern has seen 6 of their last 7 games go over this very high total. The Huskies defense has been terrible this year, but their offense is great.

Elon is 306th in defensive efficiency. The Phoenix are first in the league in offensive efficiency though. They shoot it well, and they should get second chance opportunities here against a poor defensive rebounding Northeastern team.

Take the over.

Jack Jones

Jan 15 '26, 7:10 PM in 3h
NBA | Suns vs Pistons
Play on: Pistons -7½ -105 at Bovada

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Detroit Pistons -7.5

The spot really favors the Detroit Pistons tonight.  They are as rested as they could possibly be and as healthy as they have been all season with all hands on deck tonight.  They have had the last four days off and will be playing just their 2nd game in 8 days as well.

The Phoenix Suns have been through the gauntlet playing the Thunder, Rockets, Knicks and Heat during their currently stretch of 7 games in 12 days.  They will also be playing their 12th game in 21 days and haven't had multiple days off in a row since Christmas.

It appears to be taking its toll on the Suns, who just lost Devin Booker to an ankle injury in their last game in Miami.  The Heat were able to come back and win that game once he went out, and Booker will be out again tonight.  Dillon Brooks is also battling an illness and missed shootaround today, though he is expected to play.  Bet the Pistons Thursday.

No. 2 Ranked Overall Capper All-Time! Jack Jones has absolutely CRUSHED the books over the past 7-plus years! He is riding a 6477-5660 Run L3048 Days on all premium plays that has seen his $1,000/game players cash in $288,590! He was the No. 6 Ranked Overall Capper in 2022 as well as the No. 8 Ranked Overall Capper in 2023! He finished as the No. 2 Ranked Overall Capper in 2024 with his $1,000/game players up $148,600 since January 1st, 2022!

No. 2 Ranked Basketball Capper All-Time! Check the long-term results and you’ll see that Jack Jones has put together a MASSIVE 4862-4239 Hoops Run since 2012 that has seen his $1,000/game players cash in a WHOPPING $264,380! He has delivered NINE Top-8 Basketball Finishes L14 Years! (#1 2012-13, #2 2020-21, #2 2013-14, #3 2011-12, #4 2017-18, #5 2015-16, #5 2023-24, #7 2021-22, #4 2024-25)

This money train gets right back on track with Jack's Thursday 7-Play Power Pack for $59.95! Leading the charge are THREE 20* Top Plays as you'll receive 2 NBA & 5 CBB plays in all on the hardwood upon purchase tonight folks!

It would cost you roughly $260 to buy all seven plays separately, so YOU SAVE $200 with this 7-Pack! Sign up and bet with confidence knowing you are GUARANTEED PROFITS or Friday's entire card is ON JACK!

Nick Parsons

Jan 15 '26, 7:40 PM in 3h
NBA | Thunder vs Rockets
Play on: Rockets +4½ -110 at circa

This is a FREE PLAY on the Rockets.

The Thunder are 14-4 on the road, but just 8-10 ATS. Houston is 12-2 SU at home and 6-8 ATS. 

The Rockets play with revenge here, though, following a 125-124 setback at OKC back in October, going on to easily cover with the 6.5 points.

The Thunder are at Miami and Cleveland after this, and could potentially be caught looking ahead. 

The Rockets just snapped a three-game slide with a 119-113 win over Chicago and I think they can keep the momentum rolling here.

Houston has uncharacteristically failed to cover in six straight games, but now I feel the conditions are correct for a possible outright upset.

That said, my official call for this FREE PLAY is to take a serious "second look" at HOUSTON and the points.

Good luck, NP

NCAA-B | College of Charleston vs Towson
Play on: Towson -1½ -105 at Bovada

This is a play on the TOWSON TIGERS for our Thursday Free Play. Towson came through for us as a premium play on Saturday as it snapped a four-game losing streak with a win at Northeastern and I think that momentum carries over back home. The Tigers are 9-9 overall and just 1-4 in the Coastal and they will be out to snap a two-game home losing streak, the latest defeat came one week ago as they played a Thursday afternoon game with no students and a sparse crowd so we expect a better environment tonight. Towson is 13-1 in its last 14 home games following a win. Charleston has turned the corner as after a 4-6 start, the Cougars have won seven straight games and they are off to a 4-0 start in the conference. This start has coincided with the return of Colby Duggan who missed the first 13 games of the season and is coming off a season high 22 points against Hampton. This is the time to sell high hitting the road. Play (820) Towson Tigers

CBB 128-114-1 Run with SEVEN Winners tonight. NBA 23-11-1 Run continues tonight. CFB 28-14 run. CFB Game of the Year for the CFP Final. 241-212-10 NFL Run. Divisional Round posted soon. Get that All Sports Subscription and get every premium play!

Calgary is worth a free move. The Flames have had a rough road trip and look to end it on a high note against a Blackhawks team that has dropped 2 of 3.

The Thursday College hoops Comp play is on the OVER 142.5 in the Cal Riverside at Long Beach St game. Rotation numbers 849/850 at 10 eastern. The System in this game is 83% to the over long term and pertains to home of 13 or less like Long Beach off a home win and a spread loss if they scored more than 80 points the total tonight is at least 140 and the opponent is off a home loss but covered the spread. Long Beach has gone over in 10 of 12 and Cal River has gone over in 6 of 9 on the road. The total opened at 147 and is now at 142 in some spots so you get a little line value in what should be a competitive game between two teams with identical 6-11 records. Play this one Over the total. GL Rob V-

Play on: Warriors -3½ -110 at betus

Ricky's 1* play on GS.

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.

- New York is 3-12 ATS in its last 15 games.

- New York is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games played in January.

- New York is 1-4 in its last 5 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.
