Wednesday's Free NCAAB Pick: Vanderbilt Commodores -3
I'll take my chances with Vanderbilt as a 3-point home favorite against Pittsburgh. Most are going to look to back the Panthers as a short road dog in this one. Pitt comes in having won 5 straight with the last two being upset road wins over Northwestern and N.C. State. It's hard winning back-to-back on the road and even harder to win 3 straight, especially in a 10-day span.
Vandy is just 4-4, but 3 of their losses have come against Memphis, St. Mary's and VCU. The other is against Southern Miss, who is sitting at 8-1 and has gone from opening the season ranked No. 324 at Kenpom to No. 174.
Not only has Pitt won 5 in a row, but they have covered 4 straight and whenever they go on a ATS run like this, it's a good idea to look the other way. Panthers are just 9-26 (34.6%) ATS in their last 35 after covering the spread in 4 or more consecutive games. Give me the Commodores -3!

1* NCAAB - UConn/Florida FREE Pick on UConn -4.5
Wednesday's Free NCAAB Pick is on the UConn Huskies as a 4.5-point road favorite against Florida. UConn has No. 5 with a perfect 9-0 record. They have a 24-point win over Oregon, 15-point win over Alabama, 18-point win over Iowa State and a 10-point win over Oklahoma State. All those teams rank in the Top 42 at KenPom. UConn has covered 6 straight and are 8-1 ATS on the season. The only game they haven't covered is a 20-point win against Buffalo, where they were favored by 21. I don't think 4.5 is a ridiculous price here. Until the books adjust, I'm going to keep backing this team. Bet UConn -4.5!
AAA Sports
1* FREE PLAY Avs PUCKLINE.
I think at this price, the floundering Avs are worth a second look on the "puckline" option. Boston is 20-3, but it comes in off a 4-3 shootout loss to Vegas. With an "easier" game at Arizona on Friday night, will the visiting side get caught "looking ahead?!" The Avs have dropped two in a row and three of their last four. They'll be desperate to break the slide here against the "cream of the crop" in the NHL right now; consider the Avs on the puckline on Wednesday!

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Utah Jazz -7.5
The Golden State Warriors are without their three best players tonight in Steph Curry (30.0 PPG, 7.0 APG), Andrew Wiggins (19.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG) and Draymond Green (8.6 PPG, 7.0 APG, 6.3 RPG). I give them little chance of being competitive on the road at Utah tonight without these three.
Utah has been a great bet all season at 14-12 SU & 15-10-1 ATS through 26 games. The Jazz beat the Clippers by 12 and the Pacers by 20 at home before getting upset by the Blazers in the second of a back-to-back last time out. But they have since had three days off and will be rested and ready to go.
The Jazz also get Mike Conley back from injury tonight and are as healthy as they have been all season. They play a short-handed Warriors team that will be playing their 4th game in 6 days tonight while having to travel to play in altitude.
Golden State is 8-20 ATS in its last 28 road games, including 2-10 ATS in road games this season. Utah is 11-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record this season. The Jazz are 35-19 ATS in their last 54 home games following a home game. The Warriors are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. teams that make 14 or more 3-pointers per game. Bet the Jazz Wednesday.

This is a play on the CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS-3 1/2 for our Wednesday Free Play. Yes, we are backing a favorite that has started the season 0-9 but there have been close calls along the way for California and is in a good spot here to notch that first victory. The schedule has been tough overall and after a 0-7 start in nonconference action, the Golden Bears dropped their first two Pac 12 games against USC and Arizona, the two top teams in the conference, and overall, they have played the No. 63 ranked schedule in the country. California is one of 14 teams in Division I that has yet to pick up a win and one of just two from a major conference along with Louisville and at this point, it is about pride if nothing else. Guard Devin Askew and center Lars Thiemann have paced the Bears offensively with a combined 31.2 ppg and both are coming off career highs at Arizona and the one key strength is the Golden Bears lead the Pac 12 in free throw shooting at 77.2 percent. We won with Eastern Washington on Saturday as it was in a great situational spot playing its first home game of the season after starting out with seven straight games away from home. The Eagles are 0-3 in true road games, losing at Florida International, Santa Clara and Fresno St. by an average of 10.7 ppg and all by at least nine points. They do nothing well overall as the Eagles are ranked No. 258 or worst in all scoring and shooting categories on both sides of the floor and this has come against a schedule ranked No. 263 in the nation. Play (722) California Golden Bears

Free Play: NY Rangers+140
Kudos to the Golden Knights on ending the Bruins' NHL-record 14-game home winning streak two days ago. That was a highly emotional win for Las Vegas and Bruce Cassidy, who had coached the Bruins for six seasons before he was fired this past June. The Golden Knights really wanted to win that game for Cassidy.
That game also was the finale of a successful four-game East Coast trip where the Golden Knights went 3-1. Now the Golden Knights fly cross country heading home fat and happy.
Waiting for the Golden Knights are the Rangers, who happen to be coached by Gerard Gallant. He was Las Vegas' first coach leading them to the Stanley Cup final as an expansion team in 2018. Gallant did an excellent job with the Golden Knights. It was surprising when the team fired him in January of 2020.
The Rangers have underachieved but they are a good team and I expect them to play well in this matchup. They are off a 6-4 home win against the Blues this past Monday.
The Golden Knights are 2-4 in their last six home games.

Free Play: Canucks-113
The 7-3 Canucks have to feel confident in their offense after rallying for the win off an 0-4 first period against the Habs in their last start. They face a Sharks team that is 2-8 L10 and also 2-8 at home. Canucks have a very hot offense and power play, and can put up big totals,especially against weaker offenses. The Ducks are 24th rated on defense this year and struggle to score. The Canucks managed a 4-3 win against the Ducks in a back to back situation in late November, with big road wins against Vegas and the Avs in the preceding days. Look for Vancouver net-minder Martin to bounce back from a tough first period vs Montreal, and Canucks beat up again on a a some-what shaky Kahkonen.
Take Vancouver, still somewhat in the hunt for a Wild Card spot, to win against a pretty hapless Sharks team.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES # 2 SKI SLOPE 2/1
# 7 ALWAYS MISCHIEVOUS 6/1
# 1 UNESCORTED 7/2
SKI SLOPE supports the wager in here. She has been moving well recently while recording solid speed figures. Had one of the best Equibase Speed Figures of this group of horses in this race in her last contest. The drastic drop in class can only help out this horse this time out. ALWAYS MISCHIEVOUS - Look for a solid pace improvement from this pony who enters on Lasix today. UNESCORTED - She looks decent in this slot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the midpoint. Seems to have a respectable class edge based on the most recent company kept.

#6 MISSCZECH (ML=5/1)
#5 FOR LOVE NOT MONEY (ML=9/2)
BORN TO REIGN - Have to make this mare a contender; she comes off a nice outing on November 7th. MISSCZECH - Cruz rode this horse for the first time last time out and comes right back in this race. Another way to judge class is earnings per start. This racer has the topmost in the bunch. I think she'll be close at the finish line. FOR LOVE NOT MONEY - That last blow out tells me this filly is set for a top performance.
Vulnerable Contenders: #7 MIDNIGHT GARDEN (ML=8/5), #3 SUNDANCE STAR (ML=6/1),
MIDNIGHT GARDEN - Recent dropping speed figures of 91/86/80 give a sign that this horse may be going off form. Don't think this runner will make a winning move in today's event. That last speed rating was common when compared with today's class rating. SUNDANCE STAR - This group is a whole lot tougher than the ones she met in the last event. This runner ran a mediocre speed rating last time around the track. She shouldn't run better and will likely lose in today's race running that figure.
GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - BORN TO REIGN - I like the ground this race horse made up in the stretch. The route distance is just what the doctor ordered.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES # 4 PINK HIGGINS 4/1

# 3 TOP HONORS 2/1
PINK HIGGINS looks to be a solid contender. Must be given a shot - I like the figs from the last contest. Will almost certainly come out strong - I have liked the way this gelding has moved swiftly to the front end recently. Have to examine solely on class, with some of the strongest class figs of this field. QUIET AS MIDNIGHT - Has quite good Equibase Class Figures relative to this group of horses - worth a look. His chances to prove victorious are much better today facing this less demanding lot. TOP HONORS - Dominguez will most likely be able to get this colt to break out quickly in this competition. At the top in earnings per start at the distance/surface in this field.

#1 GRUNDER'S CALL (ML=4/1)
#2 FEDERAL EXCHANGE (ML=4/1)
GRUNDER'S CALL - That recent bullet 48.0 work shows that this gelding is ready for a top effort today. Ran a less than stellar race at Delaware Park in the last race. Racing on a fast track puts this gelding at the top of my contenders list. FEDERAL EXCHANGE - This horse fits one of my favorite angles. A racer that has a gate drill since his last race and gets the 'shades' on for today's race. That signals to me that the connections are looking for improvement.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 ROYAL ATTITUDE (ML=2/1), #4 CAJUN BAYOU (ML=7/2), #7 READTHETRANSCRIPT (ML=5/1),
ROYAL ATTITUDE - The result of third in the last event shows me that this animal may be losing physical conditioning. CAJUN BAYOU - Hasn't hit the board in any short distance races of late. Unlikely to see him doing it today either. READTHETRANSCRIPT - This equine hasn't been in the mix in either of his last two outings. Going to have a tough go of it with all of the other early speed in this race.

CONSORTIUM CHOICES # 3 NIGHT FLYER K 5/2
# 2 JUST MAYBE THE ONE 6/1
# 1 CREWS HILLTOPPER 3/1
NIGHT FLYER K looks very good to best this field. Has nice speed ratings and most likely has to be thought of for a bet here. The number crunching team gives this entrant a really strong chance to take this race, class stats are tops in the bunch. Recorded a 76 TrackMaster Speed Rating in last race. A duplicate race here should get the victory in this event. JUST MAYBE THE ONE - Considered a solid wager based solely on his high win pct. Take a look at this race horse's average speed stat of 79 and compare to today's class rating. Looks like a competitive play. CREWS HILLTOPPER - When starting from the 1 position, a better than expected win percentage has resulted. This harness racer achieved a great TrackMaster Speed Rating in last race. Looks to be racing sharply to come right back.
