STRIKE POINT SPORTS NHL (note: two plays)
2-Unit Play. Take #32 NYI (-130) over Philadelphia*(7:00 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11)
The New York Islanders are coming off a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning which snapped a 2 game win streak and then followed it up with a win in Washington and will now take on a Flyers team who has looked great over their last 5 games. Philadelphia has now gone 4-1 over the month of February and has been putting up some big numbers. But the Flyers haven't played a stingy defense like the Islanders in a while and are extremely tough to beat at home. I really like the advantage teams have at home when they play a conference game. Look, New York is the better all around team in this match-up and similar to the Flyers the club has found a new offense over the month of February. But I still think New York will rely on their defense tonight and get back to their 2.70 goals per game average. Philly has been playing above their head and its tough to win in Brooklyn. New York is now 17-7-3-1 at home thus season and the Flyers are 12-13-2-1 on the road. Take the Islanders at home and look for them to stay ahead of Philly in the standings.
4-Unit Play. Take #40* Colorado (-1.5, -105) over Ottawa*(9:00 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11)
The Colorado Avalanche will Host the Ottawa Senators tonight in Colorado as they look to continue to build on their 5 game win streak. The club started the win streak on February 4th where they faced off against the Buffalo Sabres. But the most impressive part about the streak is that all of these games have come away from home. Over that stretch the club actually played the Senators where the Avalanche beat them 4-1 in their own building and I don't see this trend changing in Colorado tonight. Ottawa scores 2.67 goals per game while giving up 3.30 to their opponents while Colorado is scoring 3.69 per game and 2.88 per game to their opponent. Colorado is 7-1 in their last 8 games while the Senators have only won 2 games over their last 17 games. Look for the Av's to dominate at home tonight.

7-Unit Play. #028. Take Pittsburgh Penguins -115 Over Tampa Bay Lightning (Tuesday @ 7:00pm est)
We are rolling with the Penguins at home to get the job done as we look to go 14-2 om top plays. This spot sets up well for a rested Penguins team at home. The Penguins have dominated at home going 19-5-3 SU. This is a rapid revenge game for the Penguins as they just lost to Tampa last Thursday and have lost both meetings to Tampa so far this year. I think they will be primed and focused against their rival. This is a tough spot for Tampa as they are now on the 2nd game of a back to back with travel. They come off a hard fought emotional game vs Columbus who they have been waiting since last playoffs for revenge after getting swept 4-0 in the series. I think they are in for a bit of a let down here today after that big win last night. The lightning will also likely be with out their all star Steven Stamkos tonight which could hurt them for depth as well. I think the Penguins roll here today at home and grab a big win. Lightning are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Pittsburgh.

7-Unit Play #578 Take Washington -3 over Chicago* (7 p.m. EST, Tuesday Feb 11)
The Bulls weren't a good team to begin with, but they are super banged up right now and have an injury report as long as your grocery list. Washington is very healthy in comparison. The Wizards have won three of their last five and this team has been playing well recently. They are on a 6-4 ATS run and the oddsmakers are a bit behind on this team right now. They are coming off a loss but are 4-1 ATS in bounce-back situations and they are also 4-1 ATS in their last five against teams with a record below .400, meaning they are getting the job done against lousy teams. Because of the Bulls injury situation we had this game handicapped at 7, so there is nice value there tonight.

This is a fantastic matchup and big game in the A-10 conference. The Flyers are riding a 12-game winning streak and the Rams have won 10 straight. The Rams are underrated and I think they match up well in this game. The Rams have won two straight and three of the last four meetings at UD Arena and are 7-2 ATS on the road this year. They have enough talent on both sides of the ball to keep this game within single digits.
Penn State is 18-5 overall and 8-4 in the tough Big Ten. It also has gone 15-5-3 ATS in its last 23 conference games. But I have to go with Purdue here at home, where it is 10-2 (8-4 ATS) this season and 18-8-1 ATS in its last 27 dating to last campaign. The Boilermakers are on a roll, having won three straight contests - two of which were on the road, where they had struggled. Purdue is the play.

Missouri has not only missed covering in its past half-dozen away games, but it has barely put up a fight. The final margins ranged from 14 to 27 -- all above this line. LSU fumbled away its unbeaten SEC record with two straight-up road defeats but is 12-1 outright at home. Mizzou tips off minus C Jeremiah Wilson (foot) after having gone 3-6 SU in his absence, and G Mark Smith (back) will be limited, if he plays at all.

Less than a year ago, these teams faced off, and Kansas State won by 39. There couldn’t be a better time to tail the Wildcats, who are on a three-game losing streak. Kansas State has simply dominated this matchup, winning each of the last three games by double digits with an average margin of victory of 22.4. Kansas State should win this game rather easily.

MICHIGAN ST. @ ILLINOIS | 2/11 | 9:00 PM EST
The Spartans have lost three straight games as favorites in all three. They are well overdue for not only a win, but a statement victory. Just this week the team, which was ranked No. 1 in the preseason, dropped out of the Top 25. Look for the Spartans to take this one on the road and get back on track.

MISS. STATE -1
MISS. STATE @ OLE MISS | 2/11 | 7:00 PM EST
This Bulldogs team has had big wins against strong teams this season and is a more fundamentally sound team than Ole Miss. Mississippi State beat the Rebels last season as an underdog as well on the road. Look for Ole Miss to come back to Earth after blowing out South Carolina and Florida. Take the Bulldogs.

N. CAROLINA @ WAKE FOREST | 2/11 | 8:00 PM EST
This is a beautiful spot to fade the public with a home underdog. The whole world is on North Carolina after its disappointing overtime loss against Duke on Saturday. We are on Wake Forest tonight as the Demon Deacons shouldn’t be the underdog at home against a Tar Heels team that isn’t as strong as those in years past. Just 2-5 on the road this season, Wake Forest looks to add to their above-.500 record at home. Take the Demon Deacons.

7-Unit Play. Take #582 New Orleans (-3) over Portland (8 p.m., Tuesday, Feb.* 11)
I will go with the Pelicans in this one. This team has been playing well since getting Zion Williamson back from injury. The Pelicans are 5-2 SU and ATS in their last seven games. They are coming off back-to-back nice road wins and should be even stronger here playing at home. Portland has lost each of its last two road games at Denver and Utah. They are coming off a nice win over Miami at home. But Portland is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine games against a team that is below .500. New Orleans has been great at the window lately. New Orleans is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games after two days of rest. They are 18-8 ATS overall and they are 11-3 ATS after a win. The Pelicans are 8-3 ATS at home and 5-2 ATS as a home favorite. New Orleans has been strong in this series. They are 6-2 ATS in their last eight gaCBmes against the Trailblazers. I like New Orleans to get the job done here. Lay the points.
