NCAA-B | Michigan vs Minnesota
Play on: Minnesota +6 -110 at Mirage
1* CBB - Michigan/Minnesota *FREE PICK* on Minnesota +6
It might seem a bit crazy betting against the Wolverines right now, especially against a Minnesota team they annihilated 82-57 at home back on Jan. 6. I just think the price is right with the Gophers in this revenge spot.
The biggest thing with Minnesota is just how different they have played at home compared to on the road. The Gophers lopsided loss at Michigan is just what they have done on the road in Big Ten play. They are 0-4 on the road with all 3 losses coming by double-digits. They are 3-0 at home with a win over Iowa, as well as a 25 point win over Michigan State and 17 point win against Ohio State.
I'm not saying Michigan isn't the real deal, but I do think the schedule has aided in how good the Wolverines have looked. Michigan's only two games away from home have been against two of the worst teams in the conference in Maryland and Nebraska. This is by far their biggest challenge on the road and it might be hard for them to bring the right mindset given how bad they beat the Gophers earlier. Bet Minnesota +6!

NFL | Rams vs Packers
Play on: Packers -6½ -105 at pinnacle
This is a Free play on the Packers.
The Rams own the NFL's #1 ranked defense, and they are coming off a massive road win in Seattle on Wild Card Weekend. They say that defense wins Championships, but in the current era it seems that elite quarterbacks win Championships. I am not sure that there is a defense for Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Then there is Aaron Jones who averages 5.5 yards per carry. Jared Goff threw for 119 yards on 9-of-19 passing in the win over Seattle last week, and he's still banged up with a thumb injury. He's not ready to go head to head against a bad man like A-Aron Rodgers.

NCAA-B | Washington vs UCLA
Play on: UCLA -14½ -108 at pinnacle
UCLA -14.5
The Bruins are worthy of a flyer on Saturday. This is more of a fade Washington play. The Huskies are just awful this year, going 1-10 and have been getting blown out. UCLA comes in off a 30 point win as they are rolling over teams. Look for that to continue here.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

NCAA-B | Virginia vs Clemson
Play on: Clemson +2 -109 at Draft Kings
My free play is on Clemson at 6:00 ET.
Tony Bennett came to Charlottesville to begin the 2009-10 season and in his first two years at the school went 15-16 and 16-15. Enough of that! It's been NINE straight seasons of 20-plus wins since, including four seasons of 30-plus wins. Bennett and UVa lost to UMBC in the opening round of the 2018 NCAA tournament, becoming the first time since expansion in 1985 that a No. 1 seed lost to a No. 16 one, However, the Cavs came back to win the title in 2019, as ESPN called Virginia's championship run "the most redemptive season in the history of college basketball," and NBC Sports took it a step further by calling it "the greatest redemption story in the history of sports." UVa was 23-7 when the season was shut down last March.
Brad Brownell came to Clemson for the 2010-11 season, after so-so stints at UNC-Wilmington and Wright St (not a single NCAA bid) and has produced a modest four, 20-win seasons and just two NCAA berths in his tenure. However, he returned four starters plus Fordham transfer Nick Honor is now eligible. The Tigers are 9-1 (3-1 in ACC) and ranked No. 12, as they welcome No. 18 UVa (8-2 / 4-0 ACC) to Littlejohn Coliseum on Saturday.
UVa lost the 6-9 Diakite (13.7 & 6.8) and 6-8 big guard Key (9.9 & 7.4) but this year's team has four double-digit scorers and decent depth. 6-8 Marquette transfer Sam Hauser (13.8 & 7.5), the returning 7-1 Huff (12.9 & 5.8), 6-9 guard Trey Murphy (10.9) and returning PG Clark (10.8 & 3.6 APG) are in double figures. The Tigers are led by 6-8 senior forward Aamir Simms (12.6 & 5.8) and senior guard Clyde Trapp (7.3 & 5.1). Simms was a preseason All-ACC first-team and Trapp is surrounded by guards Honor (10.7) and Dawes (9.7).
'
Virginia (8-2, 4-0) is tied with Louisville atop the ACC after bouncing Notre Dame 80-68 on Wednesday, its highest-scoring game since a season-opening 89-54 rout of Towson. The Cavaliers roll into Clemson having won 10 straight in the series, with the Tigers' most recent victory occurring in January 2013. However, this year's Clemson team has taken care of business, aside from a 66-60 loss at Virginia Tech, presently ranked 20th, in its league opener back on Dec 15. The Tigers have won four straight, including a 74-70 overtime decision against North Carolina State in their last game on Jan 5. Clemson coach Brad Brownell hopes the 11-day layoff without a game doesn't disrupt the rhythm his team built in its successful stretch. UVa is known for its defense and is allowing 60.3PPG (13th) this season. However, Clemson can match and TOP that, allowing just 57.6 PPG (5th). After 10 straight losses, ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Take Clemson!
Good luck...Larry

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Senators
Play on: Maple Leafs -1½ +121 at pinnacle
The Senators finished 30th out of 31 teams last season. The Maple Leafs have the talent to seriously contend for the Stanley Cup.
Maturity, not talent, is the question regarding Toronto. The Maple Leafs opened with a narrow home victory against Montreal in overtime, overcoming a two goal deficit lead. Toronto then took an early lead against the supposedly hapless Senators last night. The Maple Leafs, apparently overconfident and full of themselves, proceeded to get thoroughly outplayed giving up three goals during the final 10:30 of the second period in a 5-3 loss. Fredrik Andersen didn't play well in net. Neither did defenseman Morgan Reilly, nor Auston Matthews who was minus three during his time of the ice. Now the specter of getting swept by the Senators during the opening weekend of the season lurks for the Maple Leafs. So expect a much more determined effort by the Maple Leafs - both physically and mentally. Andersen is likely to be replaced by Jack Campbell in net for this game. Reilly is primed for a big season and Matthews is in the argument for best player in the NHL. Ottawa looks improved with nine new faces making their Senators debut last night, including former Penguins goalie Matt Murray. It's going to take the Senators a while to jell without a preseason for their many new teammates, though. They pulled their upset surprise Friday. I don't see it happening again today. Neither does the oddsmaker making the Maple Leafs such a heavy favorite. So I'm going with the puck line, laying 1 1/2 goals, to turn this line into a plus profit in the belief this is a kill spot for Toronto.
