NHL | Islanders vs Hurricanes
Play on: OVER 6½ -104

This is a 1* Free Play on the OVER between the New York Islanders and the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Isles average 3.29 GPG and they allow 3.67. NY goaltender Jaroslav Halak is 10-9 with a poor 4.02 GAA, including going 5-6 with a 4.32 GAA on the road. Note that Halak has been particularly pedestrian whenever he’s faced the Hurricanes, going 4-4 with a 3.31 GAA lifetime against them. Carolina averages 2.72 GPG and it allows 2.91. Goaltender Scott Darling is 10-20 with a 2.99 GAA this year, including 6-9 with a 2.97 GAA at home. Like his counterpart, Darling has also struggled against his opponent today throughout his career, going just 2-2 with a 3.28 GAA against the Islanders lifetime. Note that New York has seen the OVER go 17-6-2 in its last 25 road games, while the OVER is also 13-6-1 in these teams last 20 played against each other in Carolina. Consider a second look at the OVER in this one.

URI is flirting with the Top-Ten in the land, and they have won 16 straight games including a home win over St. Bonaventure on January 13th, 74-63 as the -7 1/2 point home favorite. The Rams have now won 3 straight and 5 of the last 6 in the series, and they have also covered in the last 3 as all of those wins have come by double-digits.

If each of the last 3 Rams wins have come by 10-points or more, and the Rams have won 16 straight, don't you think they should be more of a favorite?

St. Bonaventure is enjoying their best stretch of round-ball, as they have rattled off 7 straight wins. At 10-1 at home in Olean, New York this year, the Bonnies will definitely give the Rams a run for their money tonight.

Rhode Island is about due for a loss, don't you think?

Play the home team in this Friday night showcase.

3* ST. BONAVENTURE

My free winner is on Rhode Island on the road, laying a small number to St. Bonaventure.

Rhody has won three straight and five of the last six meetings, including an 87-73 victory on Jan. 13, so I don't think the Rams will have any trouble mustering up the confidence it will need to win this one on the road.

Depth has been an impressive factor to Rhode Island's success of late, as its bench has scored 41 points in each of the last two games - the second and third times this season the reserves have scored 40 or more in a game. The bench scored 43 against Brown early in the year.

Overall, the Ram bench has scored 20 or more points 11 times this season, and with the types of scorers this team has, it's a matter of running away from the Bonnies when the offense gets hot, and playing to win with the gas pedal depressed.

Take the road team here.

5* RHODE ISLAND

My free play will not take much to explain, as it is based on one thing, and that being how bad Detroit is this year.

I don't care about Youngstown State's 8-20 mark on the year, what I know is how bad Detroit is, and how much the Titans consistently lose by.

On the road, Detroit won't stand a chance. Especially against a lower tier team in the conference, but that will want to flex its muscle and get some season-long frustration out.

Lay the small home number, as Youngstown State rolls.

Pennsylvania vs. Columbia, 02/16/2018 19:00 EDT

Point Spread: +3/-106 Columbia

Sportsbook:
PinnacleSports

No one is giving Columbia much of a shot tonight at home but this team will be determined to get a win tonight and show off at home. This is the first game of a long home stand for Columbia who is not as bad as their record indicates. Penn off a very hard emotional loss to rival Harvard. Penn is a money burning 7-12 ATS this season as they seem to play down to their competition. Columbia is 6-2 ATS in it's last 8 versus Penn. Invest a 9 unit play in Columbia.
