Play on: Virginia -7½ -108 at 5Dimes

Virginia/Georgia Tech 8:00: The Cavaliers are one of the most well coached teams in the nation under Bennett; consequently, they sport the 8th ranked turnover margin in the nation, #1 in points allowed, and #2 in FG% defense; at the same time, their offense flows efficiently shooting 47% from the floor and 40% from 3 point range; moreover, they shoot an outstanding 77% from the free throw line! The Cavaliers have their weaknesses and not a lot of depth but it shouldn't come in to play tonight. They'll eventually choke out the offensively challenged Engineers who average just 67 PPG. Yes, GT is playing a good stretch of basketball and can play defense; however, sustaining good play for the duration against the Cavaliers will be an uphill battle that I believe they'll lose. We'll look for Hall, Wilkins and Guy to continue their assault on yet another ACC victim.

Play on: St. Mary's +8 -107 at 5Dimes

Dave’s Thursday Free Play:
1* on St. Mary’s +8
The Key: Gonzaga was one of the best teams in the country last year. They finished runners-up losing to UNC in the National Title game. So it was no surprise they went 3-0 against St. Mary’s in their three meetings last season. But now Gonzaga isn’t nearly as good as last year, especially defensively with all they lost. And St. Mary’s brought back its top 3 scorers from last year in Jock Landala (21.7 PPG, 10.3 RPG), Calvin Hermanson (12.2 PPG) and Emett Naar (11.2 PPG, 9.4 APG). The Gaels are absolutely loaded this season, which had many picking them to dethrone Gonzaga in the WCC. Now is their chance to prove themselves. The Gaels are catching too many points tonight as 8-point underdogs. They have won 12 straight coming in and have been flying under the radar. St. Mary’s is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 road games off two straight games with 19 or more assists. The Gaels are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. The Gaels are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. Take St. Mary’s.

501 Orlando at Cleveland
Spending the first 36 years of our life as a Cleveland resident, we live and die with our hometown teams. We watch every game the Cavaliers play, and I have to tell you this team is severly flawed. Many times over the years the Cavs would turn it on when heeded, but that just hasn't been the case this year. The defense is the worst it has been and the players simply refuse to buy in to what the coaching staff is selling. Therefore there is no logical reason to change our thinking as this team doesn't deserve to be a favorite of this magnitude against anyone.

NHL | Golden Knights vs Lightning
Play on: Golden Knights +145 at BMaker

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #13 Thursday Free Pick Vegas Golden Knights Money Line (+) @ Tampa Bay Lightning @ 7:35 ET - Tampa Bay is the #1 team in the Eastern Conference Standings and they do have home ice for this game. However, Vegas is the #1 team in the Western Conference Standings and they hold a huge edge here that is not being properly factored into this line. The Golden Knights already had their bye week earlier this month while the Lightning are just coming back from theirs. That puts Vegas at a big advantage here as the Bolts could be rusty after not playing in a full week! Both teams are off of losses here but the Golden Knights are likely to be the sharper team as they are playing their 3rd game since their bye week while TB will be playing for the first time since last Thursday! Vegas is off of back to back losses but had won 14 of their last 16 games prior to this 2-game skid. Tampa Bay has lost 3 of its last 5 games and the Lightning have allowed 4 goals or more in 3 of their last 4 games. This is a fantastic road dog value spot. Free Pick VEGAS

NHL | Stars vs Blue Jackets
Play on: Blue Jackets -104 at betonline

#NHL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Columbus Blue Jackets are just 3-6 in their last nine games and coming off back-to-back defeats, the most recent an embarrassing 5-2 loss to the lowly Vancouver Canucks Friday night.
I expect the Jackets to come out angry and motivated for this clash with the Dallas Stars Thursday night. Note that Columbus is 7-0 in its last seven games following a loss of three or more goals and 14-5 in its last 19 after scoring two goals or fewer in its previous game.
The Stars have won four of their last five, but this is a tough spot playing their fourth game in six nights. They're just 3-11 in their last 14 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation and the Blue Jackets have claimed four straight head-to-head meetings.
My free pick is on Columbus Blue Jackets.

NCAA-B | Michigan vs Nebraska
Play on: Michigan -3½ -107 at 5Dimes

Michigan vs Nebraska Free Pick January 18, 2018.

The Michigan Wolverines are sitting in third place in the BIG10, with a 5-2 conference record and a 16-4 overall record. They came out flat in their last game, trailing by 10 at halftime at home versus Maryland. They rallied in the second half, and led by seven with under two minutes to play. While they held on for the win, they didn't get the cover, perhaps falling victim to a classic let down spot after upsetting the Spartans in their previous game. Nebraska is just one game back of Michigan in the BIG10 standings, and the Huskers are 10-1 at home. All their wins in the BIG10 have come against conference bottom feeders (Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Northwestern). They are coming off a 64-63 win over Illinois, and they needed a three-pointer at the buzzer to avoid the upset. Michigan has won all eight meetings in this series dating back to 2012, and they covered the spread in five of those games. The Huskers have lost their last two home games against Michigan by a combined 49 points. The Wolverines are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 BIG10 games, and they have covered the spread in four straight road games.

Take MICH.

NCAA-B | Tennessee Tech vs Eastern Kentucky
Play on: Tennessee Tech +2 -110 at BMaker

Free Pick on Tennessee Tech +
I like the value here with the Golden Eagles catching points on the road against the Colonels. I just don't think home court means as much in this series and history would back that up. Tennessee Tech is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 trips to Eastern Kentucky. You also want to be on the team getting points in this series, as the underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
Adding to this is the fact that that the Colonels are just 4-14 ATS in their last 18 conference home games and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games off a contest where the two teams combined for 165 or more points.
Simply put, the Golden Eagles are the better team. Not only do they have the better record, but they have also played the tougher schedule. This is also a great spot to back Tennessee Tech. Last time out they lost 45-71 to Murray State. They are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 road games off a loss by 10 or more
We also have a strong system in play favoring the Golden Eagles. Road underdogs off a conference home loss vs an opponent that is off 2 or more road wins is 123-73 (63%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Tennessee Tech!
