DMack Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Kansas Jayhawks 

Kansas is 3-1 in the Big 12 with road wins of 16 and 24 points. The Jayhawks are 16-2 straight up in their L18 in the series and 4-1 in their L5 visits to Austin. Texas is just 1-3 vs. teams in the Top 60 with that win over a mediocre at best Purdue team. The Longhorns might keep this one close early but ultimately, Kansas has its way. Kansas 80-66. 

DMack Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Butler Bulldogs

"Buy signs" on DePaul were misguided as the Blue Devils are 0-4 out of the box in the Big East after going 12-1 vs. the No.266 strength of schedule in non-conference play. Butler is 6-1 L7, losing its last to a very good Seton Hall team, no shame there. Bulldogs are an experienced veteran team and take care of business here. 

DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Santa Clara Broncos 

Strangely enough, we still don't know what we have with the 15-4 Santa Clara Broncos who are 14-0 at home and 1-4 ATS on the road. That said, they have played five brutal road games with losses at Gonzaga, Stanford, San Fran with the only red-flag being Nevada. Pacific is a counterfeit 15-5. I've seen this team a couple of times and the Tigers don't rate very high on the eye test. Santa Clara was embarrassed by 50 at the Zags mid-week and overall have been ATS monsters. Back on track here with double-digit win. 

DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Toronto Raptors 

The Raptors have won three of four after a mini-funk and are 5-2-1 ATS in their L8 road games. Toronto has also won three straight in the series and face a Minnesota outfit in complete free fall that has lost four straight and on speed dial to blow up the entire roster including KAT. The T-Wolves are 3-14 ATS in their L17 at the Target Center ... nothing to recommend on the home team here. Toronto by 10. 

DMack Saturday NHL Power Pack winner is on the Philadelphia Flyers 

Bullet Analysis: The Flyers were inexplicably punked on home ice 48 hours ago by Montreal to fall to 15-4-4 at the Wells Fargo Center. Tonight, they can refocus against a Kings team that is 7-16-4 on the road and not much putting the puck in the net. The Flyers are to the point where they must win games like these at home where they are super tough if they have any hope of not missing the post-season another year. 

DMack Saturday NHL Power Pack winner is on the Vancouver Canucks 

Bullet Analysis: The Canucks are having a breakout year, thanks in large part to their 15-5-3 record on home ice. Vancouver is one of the better offensive teams in the NHL and face a Shark outfit that plays little defense and at 8-13-3 on enemy ice (ostensibly 8-16) and has shown nothing to indicate things are going to change. 

DMack Saturday NHL Power Pack winner is on the Vegas Golden Knights 

Bullet Analysis: VGK changed coaches and predictably came out flying and spanked Ottawa at their place. A road win at the Senators should not be brushed over as the Sens are one of the tougher teams at home in the East. Montreal off a shock win at Philly is another team that will be a major seller at the deadline. Price is right.
