1* Bet on Texas State -16½

Friday CFB Free play. My selection is on Rice plus the points over Texas State at 1 pm et on Friday.

We finally made some money backing Texas State down the stretch as the Bobcats turned things around with a three-game winning streak (2-1 ATS) to close out the regular season and improbably find their way into a Bowl game. Keep in mind, Texas State started the campaign 3-6 SU and 2-7 ATS in their first nine contests. We're seeing a steep line here due to opt-outs and injuries but we'll grab all the points we can get with the underdog Owls. Rice ended the regular season with a thud, dropping blowout decisions against a pair of good teams in North Texas and South Florida. Like Texas State, Rice has to also feel fortunate to even be playing in a Bowl game. While the Owls do own the slightly worse overall record in this matchup this season, they've also faced the tougher schedule by most metrics. We'll take comfort in that fact and call for this game to be closer than expected. Take Rice.

1* Free Pick on Merrimack -170

For my best free pick on the board here for Friday I am looking at the Navy Midshipmen and the Cincinnati Bearcats. It’s always a good proposition to take a service academy in a bowl game look how well Army did this year. Service academies don’t really have opt outs and they are out to win and win big. Cincinnati has a ton of issues and I think we will see Navy take this Bearcats team to the woodshed with a steady dose of running the football. 

Play on Navy lay the points rotation #267

Ricky's 1* play on SEA.

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.

- The Canucks are 0-4 in their last 4 games.

- The Kraken are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games.

- The Kraken is 4-2 in its last 6 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division

Verdict: The value is on the road underdog.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #335 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, January 4 CBS) Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC Playoffs and thus the experts are expecting them to rest a lot of players in this game. Minnesota is still very weak at the quarterback position, and I am not sure this is a good spot for them laying this many points against a divisional opponent. Does Green Bay really want to enter the playoffs getting blown out in this game making it 4 straight losses? I think they will play some key players and be able to take this game down to the wire.
