The Free NBA System Play for Friday is on the Utah Jazz. Game 821 at 9:05 eastern. The Jazz are off a an upset loss at home vs the Lakers and that sets them up in a nice system that has covered 10 of 11 times since 2007. We are playing on certain road teams that are off a home favored loss at -5 or more and a spread loss of 10 or more vs an opponent like Denver that failed to cover by 7 or more points as a home dog. Denver has packed it in and has lost 15 of the last 17. They are 0-7 ats at home off a dog loss and have failed to cover 14 of 18 off a loss of 10+ points. They are just 2-8 ats in Division play. Utah has covered 3 of 4 off a favored loss and 6 of 8 in division play. they are 4-0 ats of late in the series and are 14-3 ats with home loss revenge. For all the reasons above we will recommenced the Utah Jazz. On Friday we have another powerful Triple play card led by the 21-0 Horizon League power play on ESPN U. In the NBA a Double system Dominator and a Big Blowout system. Jump on now and start the weekend off big with this Exclusive data that wont be seen anywhere else. For the free play. Take Utah. GC

Here's our upcoming system bet:




February 27: Milwaukee {A} bet


​

Now, keep in mind the following points for our NBA system bets:


- Remember to bet on the point spread (handicap line)


- Remember to purchase 3 points for the team you're betting on.


- If your team is still a favorite after buying 3 points, then bet on the money line. If the team is a big favorite resulting in odds that too unfavorable for you to be comfortable with, then you can either optionally skip the series, or bet on the point spread plus 3 points as normal, but do not continue betting on the series if your team wins the game but the bet does not cover.


Always consider the injury and the best/worst road team filters. Check the injuries to ensure your team's best player isn't out. I will always make my best effort to notify you of game-changing injuries whenever I am aware of them to ensure that you don't make wagers on team that don't pass the injury filter. However, I cannot make guarantees that I will always be able to be on top of every single injury, every game, every day, at all times. Some teams may hold off on releasing relevant injury information until much later in the day. A bet will be unofficial if it does not pass the filters of the system. Ultimately as a bettor, I always strongly encourage that if there's any uncertainty about the status of your team's best player for a game that you always check on final injury updates.


Good luck,

BIG AL's NHL GAME OF THE MONTH (45-17 HOCKEY RUN)!


Game Date/Time: 2/27/15 7:35 pm
Our Selection: Lightning Opponent: Blackhawks Line: -141 Rating: 4*
Analysis: At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Chicago Blackhawks' difficult task of attempting to land a top-four spot in the Western Conference in order to secure some home-ice advantage at in the playoffs just got a lot tougher. On Wednesday night, Hawks star Patrick Kane suffered a broken collarbone when he was checked into the boards by the Panthers' Alex Petrovic, thereby ending his season. Chicago has dubbed Kane "irreplaceable" but they have to find a way to go on with him, so perhaps a trade before next week's deadline is imminent. If they can make a deep playoff run, then Kane might be back by the middle of May, but that's not their concern right now as the Hawks need to keep pace with the Predators, Ducks, and Blues. Of course their first game without their star finds them traveling to Tampa to play one of the East's best in the Lightning in a series that's been dominated by the hosts as the home team is 7-3 in the last ten meetings. The Bolts return home where they'll play eight of their next 11 games after a successful five game Western road trip that saw them go 3-2. Tampa is 5-1 in the last six meetings and 4-1 in the last five at home. Take the Bolts

BIG AL's METRO ATLANTIC CONF. GAME OF THE MONTH!


Game Date/Time: 2/27/15 7:00 pm
Our Selection: St. Peters Opponent: Marist Line: -1.5 Rating: 3*
Analysis: At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the St Peters Peacocks minus the points over Marist. These two teams met earlier this season in Jersey City, and St. Peters prevailed 79-67. For the season, Marist is 5-23, while St. Peters is 13-16. And neither team has a winning conference record, as St Peters is 7-11, while Marist is 4-14. Both teams are mired in losing streaks: St Peters has dropped three straight (including its last two while being favored), and Marist is on a 5-game losing streak. Though both teams are playing back, I love St Peters to bounce back tonight, as it falls into a 32-5 subset of a 92-44 ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off upset losses. The Peacocks have also consistently covered the spread in road games off an ATS loss (63-40 ATS Last 103). Look for St Peters to get the road win tonight. Lay the points

8-Unit Play. #801. Take Philadelphia +8.5 over Washington (Friday @ 7:05pm est)
Indeed we will take the ugly underdog today and are excited to do so. We have a variety of different ways we handicap and use our models and part of that is taking teams that are on the rise despite their overall record indicating otherwise – hence the essence of value in anything not just sports, but also land and other varieties. But per this team, Philadelphia is certainly not going to the playoffs but if you track this team they get excited about playing the more elite or at least the upper echelon teams in the league and the team with a much better winning percentage really does not care about playing this team. Such is the case here as Philadelphia hooks up with Washington. Behind this game is the important fact the Sixers were embarrassed by Washington by a wide margin 111-76 by 35 points as 14 point favorites. Note this is a great opportunity for this team to get some revenge and bounce-back. Philadelphia comes back home from a road trip where they ended up losing all 3 games as expected against Orlando, Miami and Milwaukee. Now this team returns home, on a Friday Night to a team that beat them by 35 points in front of a home crowd that will be at least semi-raucous as the Wizards are in town. Plus, this Philadelphia team nearly beat Golden State at home and did beat Denver and Charlotte recently at home. Furthermore, the Wizards are on the last leg of their road trip and return home to face Detroit their next game. This team wants to go home as they have now lost 8 of their last 10 contests and its hard to see how they get up for this game. Let’s roll with Philadelphia a team that can could very well win this game Outright and more importantly, has a great shot at taking an early lead and possibly not letting up. Let’s roll with Philly for our 2nd major step-out of the season in the NBA and look to continue our potential huge NBA surge similar to last year going 56-36 (+9350) in what was a record surge for us.

Larry Ness' 10* Horizon League G.O.Y. (off 4-0 Thursday sweep)

My 10* Horizon League G.O.Y. is on Cleveland St at 10:00 ET.
I have been on Valpo more than a few times this season but sure WON’T be here! Bryce Drew’s crusaders had a chance to claim the outright Horizon League regular season title Wednesday evening in Detroit but Titans’ Juwan Howard Jr. hit three free throws with 1.3 seconds to play to send Valpo to a 63-60 defeat. The Crusaders came in averaging a shade over 72 points on about 47% shooting but shot just 34.8% from the floor as a team, while scoring 60 points against a sub-.500 team. The 6-8 Peters (16.9-6.0) had 13 & 11 but made just 3 of 11 shots while the Walker boys, Darien (11.0-4.4) and Tevonn (10.7-3.6) combined to make 7 of 20 shots!
However, Valpo gets a second chance at the outright Horizon League crown tonight against Cleveland State at the Wolstein Center. The start time has been moved to 10:00 ET for ESPNU to televise it, a big deal when one plays in the Horizon. Despite the loss to the Titans, it's still simple and straightforward for the Crusaders (25-5, 12-3 in Horizon); win and they remain alone atop the standings, with the conference tournament to take place on their home court (the Athletics-Recreation Center). "It's really tough, because we didn't play well (Wednesday) night. But we have to let that go right now, and try to get our minds right, and focus on coming out strong (Friday) night," center Vashil Fernandez (6.8-5.9) said. By the way, he had two points and two rebounds vs Detroit!
Cleveland St (17-12, 11-4) has a powerful incentive tonight as well, as the Vikings also would be in position to host the league tournament with a win. Defeating the Crusaders would set the stage for a three-way tie for first place among Cleveland State, Valparaiso and the winner of Saturday afternoon's Oakland at Green Bay game. If Green Bay were to be the third team in a 12-4 tie, Cleveland State would be the No. 1 seed by virtue of sweeping two games against the Phoenix (Valparaiso would have split with both teams). If Oakland were to be the third team in a 12-4 tie, it would come down to RPI. In that ranking, the Vikings are ahead of the Grizzlies, who aren't projected to leapfrog in front. Again, Valparaiso can eliminate such headaches with a victory against Cleveland State but...
Valpo barely was able t o edge Cleveland St back at home, winning 58-56 over the Vikings on Jan 10 at the ARC. Cleveland St has the 6-8 Grady (14.0-7.4) up front to match up well with Peters plus the backcourt of Lewis (17.1-4.4-2.9) and Lee (12.3-4.1) surely won’t take a backseat to the Walkers, who lately have seen the return of Carter (9.1-3,5-3.6) from an injury. Bottom line is, Cleveland St is 12-2 SU at home (7-0 at home in Horizon games) and won a MUCH-needed game last Friday AT Wisconsin-Green Bay (66-61 on OT). For the SECOND straight Friday, Cleveland St wins AND covers!

Larry Ness' 10* Horizon League G.O.Y. (off 4-0 Thursday sweep)
My 10* Horizon League G.O.Y. is on Cleveland St at 10:00 ET.


I have been on Valpo more than a few times this season but sure WON’T be here! Bryce Drew’s crusaders had a chance to claim the outright Horizon League regular season title Wednesday evening in Detroit but Titans’ Juwan Howard Jr. hit three free throws with 1.3 seconds to play to send Valpo to a 63-60 defeat. The Crusaders came in averaging a shade over 72 points on about 47% shooting but shot just 34.8% from the floor as a team, while scoring 60 points against a sub-.500 team. The 6-8 Peters (16.9-6.0) had 13 & 11 but made just 3 of 11 shots while the Walker boys, Darien (11.0-4.4) and Tevonn (10.7-3.6) combined to make 7 of 20 shots!

CHARLOTTE (+2) over Boston
7:30 p.m. ET
Charlotte really matches up well with Boston and has always played the Celtics tough. Hornets are 13-4 ATS their last 17 against Boston including a perfect 2-0 this season winning both games by 9 points. Boston shot the lights out Wednesday and blasted the Knicks by 19 but the Celtics shot an incredible 65% from the field in outscoring the Knicks 77-45 in the second half and won’t be able to do that tonight against a much tougher defensive team in Charlotte. Take the points again tonight for another FREE WINNER!

STRIKE POINT SPORTS (NBA)
8-Unit Play. Take #814 Memphis (-5) over Los Angeles Clippers (8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
The Clippers just aren’t a good road team, and the Grizzlies are a tough matchup for them. Memphis slows the basketball game down and plays at an extremely methodical pace, which is not what the Clip Joint likes to do. The Grizz also have the size and athleticism to match DeAndre Jordan in the post, which makes the half court game even more difficult for Los Angeles. If Jordan gets into foul trouble, which I believe he will, the Grizzlies could run away with this game. Even if Jordan gets to play his typical minutes I see the Grizzles winning this game by double-figures. Tonights contest has a 100-90 type feel to it. Memphis is coming in to this game off a bad loss to the Sacramento Kings, but I firmly believe that they were looking forward to this contest. The Grizzlies just looked lethagic in that game, but that won’t happen tonight. Memphis is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games following a S.U. loss and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. Even better than those two trends is the fact that the Clippers just plain struggle with the Grizzlies. The Clips are 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Memphis and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games versus the Grizzlies. Take the home team here as they cash at the window.
3-Unit Play. Take #806 Detroit (-13) over New York (7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
The Knicks just don’t have enough to stay with even decent teams in the NBA. Now by no means are the Pistons a top flight team, but they have plenty of scorers and post players to win this game by 20. The Knicks have a blue print to their team since Carmelo left, and that is keep games close for a bit, maybe even have a lead, but in the late third quarter, and early fourth, just let it fall apart. Detroit’s post game in Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond will absolutely be too much for New York to handle, and Reggie Jackson will have his way on the perimeter. Look for the Pistons to win this one 110-90. Detroit is 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a S.U. loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games.
3-Unit Play. Take #812 Boston (-2) over Charlotte (7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
I like the way the Celtics are playing and the contributions they are getting from their new players. Yes, Charlotte is getting solid play from their new acquistion, Mo Williams, but I think the workman like-attacking attitude that the Celtics are playing with will get the job done tonight on their home floor. Boston is 5-0 ATS in their last five games versus the Eastern Conference, and 4-0 ATS in their last four home games, while Charlotte is just 1-4 ATS in their last five games when playing on one days rest. Take the home team here.

ALLEN EASTMAN (CBB)
2-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 192.5 New York at Detroit (7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
I like the Pistons now that they have Reggie Jackson. He was a nice addition for this team. The Knicks do not play any defense and I can see the newfound Pistons offense easily scoring over 100 points and they could get to 110 points.
4-Unit Play. Take #802 Philadelphia (+8.5) over Washington (7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
The Wizards have lost five straight games. They need a win. They might get it against the 76ers. But they are not going to cover this spread. This Wizards team is in big trouble. Injuries have crushed them. They are without Bradley Beal tonight. They might have to play without Paul Pierce and Kris Humphries tonight too. That is most of their best players. Philadelphia is one of the worst teams in the league. But they will play hard at home. They also have revenge for a 35-point loss against Washington just last month. I think that Philadelphia will have a chance to win this game tonight. But no matter who wins I see this game as a close and low scoring game and I don’t see a blowout. Philadelphia isn’t an underdog of less than 10 points very often. But in this instance they are for a reason.
4-Unit Play. Take #813 Los Angeles Clippers (+5) over Memphis (8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
The Clippers just lost to the Grizzlies at home on Monday by just three points. They will want to get revenge in this one and I see it being another close game. Memphis has dominated this series (9-1 ATS) and they have been one of the best teams in the league this year. But I thought this number was lower than I expected when it opened at 4.0. The public has bet the line up to 5.0. But I think the books had it right the first time. I think that the Clippers could be poised for an upset here. They have not played well at all lately but they are still just a 5.0 underdog. This spread should be closer to 7.5. But it isn’t because this game is going to be close and the Clippers could pull the upset. I will call for them to win this game outright. Take the points.
5-Unit Play. Take #828 Portland (-5.5) over Oklahoma City (10:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
The Thunder had their winning streak snapped last night in Phoenix. That was a tough overtime loss and now they have to fly to Portland and play the Blazers. That is a lot to ask this Thunder team. Portland won the first two meetings this year and the favorite is 6-2 ATS the last eight times these two teams have met. Portland is coming off a blowout win over San Antonio and won that won by 16 points. They have also blown out Phoenix and the Lakers at home over the last three weeks. I think it is too much to ask that OKC come back tonight with another top effort after that late game last night. Portland will get the job done.
2-Unit Play. Take #816 Houston (-7) over Brooklyn (8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 27)
The Rockets have won their last three games in this homestand and have looked very sharp. They are 3-0 ATS in those games. Brooklyn is in the middle of a huge road trip. This is their sixth straight road game and they haven’t played at home since Feb. 6. They have one more road game tomorrow at Dallas. This team is winding down. Houston has won nine of the last 10 meetings in this series and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against Brooklyn. They are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games hosting the Nets. The Rockets are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games and they are 7-3 ATS against teams from the East. The favorite is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings in this series.
