NHL | Red Wings vs Flames
Play on: Red Wings +145 at 5Dimes

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Free Pick Thursday NHL Detroit Red Wings Money Line (+) @ Calgary Flames @ 9:05 ET - The Flames are off of a loss but each time over the last 3 weeks that they've had a loss follow a win, they've lost the very next game each time. Look for that pattern to continue here as this is a non-conference match-up and I look for Calgary to suffer their 3rd straight 2-game losing streak in the past 3 weeks. That's because they're off of a divisional match-up but now taking on an Eastern Conference foe and the Red Wings come into this game playing very well as they've won 4 of their last 5. Detroit has won 6 of 8 non-conference match-ups this season and they've allowed an average of just 2 goals per game in their last 7 games. The Flames have allowed 9 goals in their last 2 games and have given up 4 goals or more 4 times in their last 8 games. By comparison, the Red Wings have not allowed more than 3 goals in any of their last 7 games. Also, Calgary has lost 38 of 65 (-$11,700) when off of a divisional game. Free Pick on DETROIT

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Pittsburgh -9

It's pretty easy to figure out which team will be more motivated tonight in this game between Pittsburgh and North Carolina. We'll back the more motivated team here at home laying single-digits against a team in the Tar Heels that has nothing to play for but pride.

Sitting at 4-5 on the season, the Panthers need two more wins to get to a bowl game. They have fought hard to put themselves in this position by pulling off two straight upsets coming in. They won 24-17 at Duke as 9.5-point dogs, and dominated Virginia 31-14 at home as 1-point dogs. This team is trending in the right direction.

UNC is in the midst of a disastrous season, going 1-8 straight up with their only win coming against Old Dominion. They are 0-6 SU & 1-5 ATS in ACC play alone. The problem for them has been injuries as they have 22 players on the injury report that would be playing a role on this team. They simply do not have the numbers now due to these injuries.

Pittsburgh has really got the ground attack going the past two weeks, rushing for 336 yards on Duke and 176 on Virginia. The Panthers should be able to do whatever they want to on the ground in this one against a Tar Heels defense that is giving up 205 rushing yards per game.

The Panthers are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 home games off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival. Plays on home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (PITTSBURGH) - in conference games, off an upset win by 10 points or more as a home underdog are 28-7 (80%) ATS since 1992. Bet Pittsburgh Thursday.

NCAA-F | Georgia Southern vs Appalachian State
Play on: Appalachian State -17½ -113 at betonline

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on Appalachian State -17.5

The Key: The Appalachian State Mountaineers should be a feisty bunch Thursday night. They are coming off two straight road losses to UMass (27-30) and LA Monroe (45-52) in games they had their chances. Off those two losses, they will be hungry for a victory tonight. The Mountaineers are only one game behind Arkansas State for the Sun Belt lead. They still have a lot to play for. The same cannot be said for Georgia Southern, which is 0-8 on the season. Georgia Southern is 0-4 on the road, getting outscored by a ridiculous 31.5 PPG away from home. App State won 34-10 at Georgia Southern last year and 31-13 at home in 2015 in their last two meetings. The Eagles are 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 games overall. Take Appalachian State.

NBA | Thunder vs Nuggets
Play on: Thunder PK -110 at BMaker

Free Pick on Thunder pk
It's been a bit of a rough stretch here for Oklahoma City, who has lost 3 straight and are now just 4-6 on the season. The most recent defeat came in Tuesday's embarrassing 86-94 loss at Sacramento as a 10.5-point favorite. I believe it has the Thunder in a prime bounce back spot and will gladly back them here at Denver as a pick'em.
Look for Russell Westbrook to take this game over, as he came out and took ownership for the poor play of late after that ugly loss to the Kings. A motivated Westbrook is bad news for the Nuggets, who just don't have anyone who can check him on the defensive side of the ball.
Denver has also been one of the more overvalued teams in the early going, as they are just 3-8 ATS on the season, which includes a 2-7 ATS mark over their last 9 games. The Nuggets are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 off a win.
We also find a strong system in favor of a play on the Thunder. Games with a line of +3 to -3 where you have a team off 3 or more straight losses and playing their 3rd road game in 5 days (OKC) are 114-69 (62%) against the spread dating all the way back to 1996. Take Oklahoma City!

Play on: Pittsburgh -8½ -110 at BMaker

Take the Pittsburgh Panthers minus the points versus the North Carolina Tar Heels. Pitt (4-5) has won two straight games with their 31-14 win over Virginia two Saturdays ago. The Panthers stay at home where they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games. Pitt is also 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games after their bye week. North Carolina (1-8) has lost six straight games with their 24-19 loss at home to Miami (FL). The Tar Heels have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up loss. North Carolina has also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. Take Pitt minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

NBA | Pelicans vs Raptors
Play on: Pelicans +5½ -105 at 5Dimes

We like New Orleans (+5.5) over @ the Toronto Raptors, 7:35PM ET. This is a very interesting number and we feel the value clearly lies with the Pelicans. The Raptors are 3-1 SU at home this year but two of those wins came against one of the worst teams in the league (Bulls) and the Philadelphia 76ers. The lone quality team they faced at home was Washington and they lost that game by double digits. The Pelicans have won 5 of their last six road games and have a front court (Cousins & Davis) that opponents are having a hard time stopping. You could say the Pelicans last three road wins have come against bad teams but the significant thing in all three of those games was the fact they were favored. Now they are getting a generous number here against an over-rated Raptors team. The key advantage here for New Orleans is on the boards as they are the 9th best rebounding team in the NBA compared to a Raptors team that is 24th. Grab the points.
