NHL - Detroit Red Wings at New Jersey Devils
The Devils returned home off a 4 game western road trip and as usually is the norm with those situations they came out flat and were down 3-0 early to Toronto but were able to battle back for a 5-4 OT win. They've been very good at home this season winning 7 or 8 and face a Detroit side coming in with losses in 4 of their last 5 and sitting in 13th in the eastern conference. I'll lean on the Devils here to get the win on home ice.
The Play is New Jersey Devils -135

NHL - Edmonton Oilers at Arizona Coyotes
A solid lean on the Oilers on Friday night. After a 5 game skid Edmonton has been able to turn in around and have wins their last three over Dallas (5-2) Chicago (5-0) and Colorado (6-3) with the the Dallas, Colorado wins coming on the road to a couple teams that are usually solid on home ice. They'll catch a Coyotes side that has dropped 5 of their last 6 and 3 of 4 at home.

Turkey Super Lig - Bursaspor at Galatasaray
A play on the Under 3 here in Super Lig play. Both sides come in with similar totals numbers here. Galatasaray (2.2 GPG at home) Bursaspor (2.2 GPG away). Bursaspor defensively have been stellar their past 10 with clean sheets in 8 of 10. We'll lean with the Under here and look for another tight defensive away game from the visitors.

Belgium Jupiler League - KV Mechelen at Club Brugge
Friday's BestBet is a play on the total and Over 3 between Mechelen and Club Brugge. Brugge return home and short rest off a midweek Champions League loss away to Leicester City 2-1 and played well up front but put themselves into a 2-0 hole early and were unable to recover. The line up will look slightly different on Friday but we'll see formations from both sides that should provide more us with a attack orientated game and more than enough opportunities to get us over this total and into the win column on Friday.

Our selection is on Toledo Rockets
The Toledo Rockets will try and pull the upset off when they face the Western Michigan Broncos. The Broncos have had a great year and they will just need two more wins to make it to the biggest bowl game in school history. In saying this, the pressure is going to be square on the Broncos in this game. Especially with the division crown on the line as well. The Rockets have had a real good year themselves. The Rockets are not perfect like Western Michigan, but they have only lost 2 games all year. The total margin of defeat for the Rockets in those 2 games is a combined 7 points. Coincidentally the oddsmakers at the time of this writing have made the line 9 in favor of Western Michigan. You see what I am getting at. That is just way too many points for a team in Toledo who will give Western Michigan a run for their money all day. Toledo and Western Michigan run 1 - 2 in the MAC in most offensive and defensive categories. In a situation like this we will take Toledo's nationally 7th ranked passing offense which is going up against the Western Michigan's 34th ranked pass D. There is no doubt that Western Michigan will try and run the ball and keep the ball out of the hands of QB Logan Woodside, who leads the country with 40 touchdowns. If they are able to do this they should be able to win the game. There is the catch, they might win if they can control the clock and run the ball, but there is no way we believe that they cover this HUGE number. Our numbers had this game Western Michigan 5. This shows some great value with Toledo as well when factoring the line. You would have to go back 7 years since Western Michigan beat Toledo by more than today's number. Last year Toledo outgained Western Michigan 489 to 416 but lost 35-30 as 7 1/2 point favorite. That makes this line 16 1/2 points different from last year. We totally understand that Western Michigan has been the class of the MAC this year but today they face their toughest challenge all year. There are a couple of more points i would like to make in advantages for the Rockets. Toledo will be well rested for this game as they played Ball State on Wednesday night, so they have a couple of extra days to prepare for this big game. That could be the difference for them. The weather could play a factor as well, rain will be in the forecast which could help the underdog Rockets.
Also look at these trends/ angles or what Buster Sports like to call winning advantages.
The Rockets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games.
The Underdog is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings between the clubs
The Road team is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings between the clubs

Final game of the season for the Wolfpack, which is also their last chance to get that sixth win to become bowl eligible. It comes down to this in-state rivalry game with North Carolina.
This is one of those games where the team with the much better run defense is getting a bunch of points. I love these games. The UNC defense allows 4.5 yards per carry, while the NC State defense has allowed just 3.1 yards per carry this season.
The Tar Heels are sitting at 8-3 with nothing to play for unless Virginia Tech somehow manages to lose at home as a nearly 3-TD favorite against lowly Virginia. So, I seriously doubt UNC will be able to match the motivation the Wolfpack will have in this one, as they need the W to become bowl eligible.
I can’t call for the outright win, but UNC winning by double digits is a bit much to ask here.

Any chance the Bearcats had of getting to a bowl game ended last Friday night when they laid an egg at home on Senior Night in front of a national TV audience. If you can’t get up for that kind of game with a bowl game on the line, then I’d say you’re dead. Oh, the score was Memphis 34, Cincinnati 7 in that one. The Bearcats were only a TD dog. So yeah, I’d say this Cincinnati team is very likely to “mail it in” here on the road.
So, the flat-lined Bearcats must go on the road here to face Tulsa and their up-tempo attack. An unmotivated defense facing an up-tempo offense… this one should get plenty ugly.
Cincinnati has scored 13 points or less in five of their last six games. They’ve averaged 14.7 points per game in AAC play. On the flip side, Tulsa owns the nation’s 9th-ranked offense, and it’s a very balanced offense.
The fewest points Tulsa has scored in a home game this season is 45. They will cover this game with ease if they even come close to that.

I can't remember the last time the Apple Cup saw both teams come in ranked. So I checked: it's only the 6th time since the AP was introduced in 1936. This is a huge rivalry contest so throw out the stats. Luke Fulk is a difference makers for Washington State. Falk, directing Coach Leach's prolific Air Raid system, tops the nation in completions per game (34.6) and completion percentage (71.4). Washington State's Gabe Marks is the Pac-12 career leader with 301 receptions, including 74 this season, with 12 going for touchdowns. Washington has lost two of its top defenders to season-ending injuries in linebackers Joe Mathis and Azeem Victor. That will add to the offensive balance State will use with their running backs. Washington State is no slouch defensively. The Cougars, led up front by defensive end Hercules Mata'afa, are first in the Pac-12 against the run, allowing 129.7 yards per game. WSU also got back senior nose tackle Robert Barber last week. The Cougars are 5-1 at home and this is their game of the year no matter where they play in a bowl game.
