#680 ASA FREE PLAY ON UL Monroe +2 (-108) over Louisiana, Saturday at 3 PM ET - Two bad teams going at it here but we feel ULM is a very solid play as a home dog. These 2 met last Saturday @ Louisiana and the host won the game 71-68. The Rajin Cajuns largest lead of the game was just 4 points while ULM blew an 11 point lead in the 2nd half. ULL made 11 three pointers in that tight win while ULM made only 5 so we had an 18 point difference in favor of the Rajin Cajuns from beyond the arc and they still only won by 3 at home. Louisiana led for just 10 of the 40 minutes of game time in that win one week ago. Both these teams rank near the bottom of the Sun Belt in conference play in offensive and defensive efficiency which isn’t surprising as ULM has 4 wins on the season and ULL has 5. However, Monroe’s stats at home have been much better than their road marks shooting 45% overall and 35% from deep. Compare that with Louisiana’s road marks of 37% overall and 23% from beyond the arc and we should not only have distinct advantages on the court and situationally with ULM in this game. On top of that, Monroe played here on Wednesday and lost to Troy (3rd highest rated team in the Sun Belt) while Louisiana played on Thursday night @ Arkansas State and lost by 20 so an extra day for the Warhawks. We had a similar situation last year when ULL won at home in a tight game (by 8) and then traveled to UL Monroe and lost by 6 as a road favorite. We like Monroe to win this game at home.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- West Virginia are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games.

- Iowa State are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against West Virginia.

- West Virginia are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games at home.

Verdict: The value is on the Home Underdog.

This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS+7 for our Saturday Free Play. Iowa St. has made everyone believe over the first half of the season as it is off to a 15-1 start including a 5-0 record in the Big 12 Conference, the lone loss coming against Auburn by a bucket on a neutral floor. The Cyclones got away with a win last Saturday at Texas Tech as they hit a game-tying shot in the final seconds to send it into overtime where they picked up the one point win and used that momentum to roll over Kansas at home. They have rolled over everyone in the lower Quads but those have all been at home and the three Quad 1 games away from home have been the difficult ones. West Virginia has been a pleasant surprise in the conference as the Mountaineers are 12-4 overall with a 3-2 conference record. They were blasted in their lone home Quad 1 game against Arizona but we cannot look past their three Quad 1 wins against that same Arizona team on a neutral floor as well as wins away from home against Kansas and Gonzaga. Coming off a big loss at Houston, this is the spot for what could be the upset of the weekend. Play (748) West Virginia Mountaineers

Ray Monohan

Commanders/Lions UNDER 55.5 -105

Washington and Detroit have some value to the under here. The Commanders aren't going to have nearly as much success as they did against the Bucs last week. Detroit is going to also really put emphasis on slowing the game down and sustaining drives. They're at their best when they can utilize a balanced attack and chew up clock. Washington's mentality will be to keep the ball away from these Lions weapons on the offensive end, which in turn will have this game being played with a slow tempo. Grab the under. My daily free plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Remember folks, money management is the key to profits when it comes to sports gambling. Strong lean on the UNDER 55.5 tonight. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Wizards/Warriors OVER 228.5

The Washington Wizards are a dead nuts OVER team. They rank 4th in pace and dead last (30th) in defensive rating. They are 3-0 OVER in their last three games overall with 253 combined points with Phoenix, 226 with Minnesota and 231 with Oklahoma City.

The Golden State Warriors broke out of their funk offensively with a 116-115 win at Minnesota for 231 combined points last time out. I think they hang one of their biggest numbers of the season tonight against the worst defensive team in the league in Washington.

The Wizards and Warriors have amazingly combined for at least 232 points in each of their last eight meetings. That makes for an 8-0 system backing the OVER pertaining to this 228.5-point total. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

Free Total Annihilator On Blues vs Utah Hockey Club over 5.5 -121

Sean Murphy

Saturday NHL Free play. My selection is on Utah-123 over St. Louis at 9:05 pm ET on Saturday.

The Blues enter this game on the heels of back-to-back home wins over Calgary but remain inconsistent overall, going 3-3 in their last six contests. Notably, St. Louis has dropped its last two road games, a troubling trend as they hit the road for this critical matchup.

Utah, meanwhile, is looking to end a three-game losing streak, all of which occurred on home ice. Despite the recent skid, Utah has faced the tougher overall schedule this season and sits just five points behind St. Louis in the standings. This is a pivotal spot for the Hockey Club as it looks to finish strong on its seven-game homestand before facing a daunting matchup against Winnipeg on Sunday.

Expect Utah to bring an elevated level of urgency and effort in front of its home crowd, taking advantage of a Blues team that has struggled to find its footing away from home.

Take Utah. Projected score: Utah 4, St. Louis 2.
