New York Islanders.

No Limit play.

Game 60.

4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST.

Playing back-to-back nights is not easy for any hockey team. For the Minnesota Wild, they are 0-3 in that situation this season. They played last night on the road at the Carolina Hurricanes, losing 4-3. They are not the greatest road team my friends, going just 2-4-1 away from home this season. It's true, they did dominate this series for several years before last April when New York took a home matchup against them, 3-1. Speaking of the Islanders, they've had a couple of days to rest for this game tonight. They did come off a loss at home against the Bruins, but prior to that won their last two outings. They are 4-2-1 at home this season, and are significantly stronger offensively, and face the 29th ranked goaltending/defense in the league getting plowed for over 3.6 goals per game. Take New York. Thank you.

Oregon Ducks.

BEST BET play.

Game 740.

7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST.

Starting this season off just outside the top-25 bubble, cannot sit well with the Oregon Ducks. This is a very talented basketball team. They opened up this campaign, beating Hawaii at home, 60-59. My friends, they were a 12-point favorite in that game. 21 turnovers, and shooting an atrocious 2-of-16 from downtown, in their season opener, the Ducks must, I repeat, they must come out here and play superb basketball. Rice is coming off a 71-point home win over the College of Biblical Studies on Tuesday in their season-opener. They were just 13-19 last season, and trust me when I tell you, are in for a rude awakening here tonight. This is a team that closed last season going 2-15 straight up. They really didn't even go up against any solid superior opposition a seasonal ago outside of perhaps maybe a November 9 matchup with Florida State on a neutral court in which they did cover the 10-point spread, 73-65. The Ducks have a game in five days against the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State before a November 17 matchup against their in-state rival, the Beavers of Oregon State. After that they start facing some very tough opponents. This is their last opportunity to really get in rhythm, and bounce back from that horrible first game performance. A season ago, they began the campaign winning their first nine contests, and 12 of their first 13 games, and they are not afraid to run up scores against lesser opposition. As I mentioned earlier, they must improve on their statistics from their last game. This game gets ugly. Take Oregon. Thank you.

North Carolina Tar Heels on the ML.

KU/UNC WINNER.

Game 714.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

My friends, I'm going to keep this analysis just like me, very short, and extremely sweet (lol). Without question, these are two of the most successful college basketball teams in the history of the NCAA. Number 19, Kansas travels to Chapel Hill, to face number 25 North Carolina. I doubt it's a surprise to anyone that both teams are ranked in the preseason AP top 25 poll. It seems like it's been that way for decades. Yes, the Jayhawks received its lowest preseason ranking in almost 20 years. The same can be said for the Tar Heels. The two most recent matchups, in 2022 in 2024 both were won by Kansas, but both were covered by North Carolina. Their most recent matchup a season ago on November 8, saw the Jayhawks at home, squeak out a three-point victory, 92-89. I feel that you're going to see a revenge factor motivating the home team in this matchup. Speaking of which, we can be quite honest, Kansas loses a little luster when they travel, failing to cover five of their last eight regular season games played a season ago on the road. Playing in Chapel Hill is no small task for any road team, that's for sure. North Carolina and their loyal fan base, which in my opinion is the sixth man for them, have covered four of their last five games played on their own court. One more item, my friends, with all respect to the Jayhawks, they are a very good team and very well-coached, but the Tar Heels frontcourt might be one of the best in the nation. I feel they will have an edge down low in the paint, and on the glass here giving themselves second-chance opportunities on offense, and taking away second-chance opportunities on defense. This game will come down to the final possession or two. Take North Carolina. Thank you.

Ohio State Buckeyes.

No Limit Play.

Game 684.

3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST.

Purdue Fort Wayne opened up their 2025/2026 regular season on the road at Grand Canyon and took a beating, 90-71. As a matter of fact, going back to the first week of week of February, this team has only sported one straight up victory and one ATS victory. They have lost and failed to cover their last five games played on the road, and now must face an Ohio State opponent, looking to prove something as they start this season just outside the top 25 bubble. A season ago, the Buckeyes beat up all their lower-tear opponents at the start of the campaign, winning and covering a 19-pointspread over Youngstown State, 24.5 pointspread over Evansville, a 25-pointspread over Campbell, and also a 25-pointspread over Green Bay. They don't have a tough matchup until the 16th when they face the Irish of Notre Dame. So, this is one of their final opportunities to get in sync, and impress the pollsters. Take the Buckeyes. Thank you.

Last night I took a beating in college basketball. This is very uncharacteristic for me, as I am one of the most successful and profitable documented college basketball handicappers over the last 25 years. Today I bounce back, redeem myself, and get us all paid with my NCAAB NO LIMIT PLAY, KANSAS/UNC WINNER, and my first NCAAB BEST BET release of the season. I WILL REDEEM MYSELF TONIGHT! I also have my NCAAF FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS GAME OF THE MONTH, and my 2-0 NHL NO LIMIT plays.

Friday’s FREE NCAAB WINNER: Valparaiso Beacons.

Game 703.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

Remember something my friends, sportsbetting isn't about who wins, it’s about who covers. Having said that, these two teams have not met since December 2016 when Kentucky won and covered at home as a 20.0-point favorite, 87-63. The Wildcats enter this season the #9 team in the nation. They come off a season-opening, 77-51 win over the Colonels of Nicholls State the other night. Valparaiso also opened up the campaign with a victory at home against Eastern Illinois, winning but failing to cover by a few points, 66-63. But this team is known for covering against better opponents. As a matter of fact, they closed last season covering their final four contests, all against superior opponents. Kentucky will be without two starters in Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance. Trust me when I tell you those star players will hopefully be back, but this team will not miss them at the moment. The Wildcats have the Cardinals of Louisville up next, before a throw away game against EIU, and then they have to take on Michigan State on a neutral court. This is a team that gets overvalued regularly. Several of their early season nonconference opponents last year covered these big numbers. Meanwhile, the Beacons cover these big numbers against better opponents. I just feel Kentucky will not go all out come the second half when they have this game intact. They don't need to, my friends. And let's face it, getting over 30 points this early in the season is something to raise an eyebrow to. Take Valparaiso. Thank you.

Memphis Tigers.

Game 118.

6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST.

A season ago Tulane possessed one of the best defenses in all of college football. This season, they most certainly do not. Granted, they only allow 22.3 PPG, but they rank 126th against the pass, and 112th against the rush. Following a three-game straight up win streak, in which they covered two of the three games, they took an embarrassing road loss as a favorite at the hands of UTSA on October 30, 48-26. Their weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball were exposed. By the way, this team has only covered one of their last six games played as a visitor, going back to last December. They must go into Simmons Bank Stadium to face I nearly unbeatable foe. The Memphis Tigers are 8-1 overall this season straight up, and coincidentally left, 8-1 against the spread, as well. They are a perfect 4-0 at home, also both straight up and against the spread. Last year's matchup at Tulane, saw Memphis win outright, 34-24, as a 12.5-point underdog. This is a team that is one of six teams in the AAC sporting just one conference loss. They do have a matchup with ECU on the road up next before their season finale at home against Navy. I doubt very much they'll be in a “look-ahead” situation here, as they must keep their foot in the gas, and stay with just one loss going into that matchup with the Midshipmen at the end of November. Obviously, the Green Wave experienced a lot of problems last week against the Roadrunners. They also were outgained against the Blue Devils, and needed a last-minute touchdown to get past the Pirates of ECU. That were also trailing the Black Knights of Army for most of the second half. Now I do not want you to think I don't feel Tulane is a talented team, because they are. I just think they're falling short this season. Going back to Memphis, they possess one of the highest-scoring offenses in college football, averaging over 37.6 points per game, equally good in the air as they are on the ground. I will tell you their pass defense leaves a bit to be desired. But being that they are so strong against the run, I think that would be enough here. They've also snagged 12 takeaways, and only allow 19.9 points per game. On the legs of Branden Lewis, the dual-threat quarterback, and several other talented ball-carriers, this team owns the 13th-ranked rushing unit in college football. They are smart enough to keep the ball on the ground, and wear their opponents defense down, while keeping their opponents offense off the field. They have a stout defense that they will frustrate the Green Wave offense. If this team was going to fold, it would've been the game following their only loss of the season back on October 18, but they didn't fold. They took down South Florida with authority at home 34-31 as an underdog. Their last outing back on Halloween, they devoured the Rice Owls. This team will keep their foot on the gas, get another conference victory, and get one step closer to that big matchup at the end of the regular season against Navy. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

The AAC has some solid teams, my friends. And I've dominated this conference this season, once again. This Friday night I have my FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS GAME OF THE MONTH winner for you. It seems that every Friday I get you paid on this big FNL winner, allowing us to go into the weekend with a bankroll.

Friday’s FREE WINNER: Houston Cougars.

Game 115.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

With Houston dropping their last outing back on November 1 at the hands of West Virginia at home, it compels me even more to like them in this matchup against Central Florida. You see, they are one of four teams in the Big 12 with two conference losses. Ahead of them with just one loss each is Texas Tech and Cincinnati, and sitting atop the throne of the conference, is BYU who is perfect in Big 12 play this season. Looking at their remaining schedule, after this week on the road at Central Florida, they go at home to play TCU, then finish the regular season on the road at Baylor. With all respect to those teams, the Cougars are a little bit better at this point in my opinion. However, the Knights, who underwent their fourth straight up loss over the last five games last week getting routed by Baylor 30-3, have a much difficult task remaining in the regular season. After this they go on the road to face the Red Raiders, then go back home to face the Cowboys, then finish up their regular season on the road at the Cougars. Two of those three opponents they have remaining on their regular season schedule, are amongst the best in the conference. Talk about being in a look ahead situation (lol). Both offenses could put up points with UCF possessing a little bit better of a running game. But Central Florida also has committed 10 turnovers, as they step on their own toes quite a bit. Defensively, the Knights also allow a few less points. They are phenomenal against the pass, but are beatable on the ground to the rush. The Cougars are a smart team and know what they have to do here. They must run the football, run the football, run the football, keeping their opponents defense honest. Also keeping their opponents “D” on the field, and their “O” off of it. With this line ping-ponging around a pick ‘em or a one in either direction, I do give Houston an edge. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

San Diego State.

Hawaiians are excited about their team this season, and they should be. They are 6-3 overall, which does include a 4-1 home record. But they do come off a tough loss on the road at San Jose State. However, there is no denying the fact San Diego State has dominated them taking five consecutive meetings, and eight of the overall last 10 matchups. The Aztecs have also covered the last two meetings as well. They are 7-1 overall, riding a six-game win streak, both SU and ATS, covering all three games played on the road during that span. Both offenses are very similar as far as statistics. But the difference here is the defense. San Diego State has allowed a mere 10.0 points per game, and is equally strong against the pass as they are against the rush. The same can't be said for the Rainbow Warrior stop unit. That will be the difference. Take the Aztecs. Thank you.

Arizona.

The line is way short in this matchup as Kansas enters this game failing to cover three straight, and is just 1-2 straight up on the road this season. Arizona come comes off a very big lopsided victory on the road over Colorado, and possesses a 4-1 straight up record at home, covering four of those five games they have hosted. They are looking for bowl-eligibility, and will decimate the visitor here. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Washington.

During the Badgers six-game losing streak, they have lost by 24, 17, 14, 37, 34, and 14 points. They haven't taken the field in several weeks and will come in here rusty to face a Huskies team looking to improve their record. Offensively, Wisconsin is no threat whatsoever, and cannot keep pace with the high-flying offense of Washington, which accounts are over 35.5 PPG. Take the Huskies. Thank you.

Virginia.

Wake Forest came back down-to-earth last week getting picked apart by Florida State, 42-7. Well, they go on the road again to face another superior opponent, which is red-hot, riding a seven-game straight up win streak, and covering four of their five games played at home this season. Take Virginia. Thank you.

FAU.

The Owls have way too much talent for the sliding “not so” Golden Hurricanes, which are riding a four-game straight up slide. FAU took each of the last two meetings in this rivalry over the last two seasons, both straight up and against the spread, and will take this one today. Take the Owls. Thank you.

SMU.

This may be a lot of points my friends, but a win is a win. Boston College is 1-8 straight up this season, losing eight consecutive games, and only covering two of their last six outings. While SMU is already bowl-eligible, they're fighting for much more here. On both sides of the line of scrimmage, they outclass their opponent. Take the Mustangs. Thank you.

BC Lions.

Game 233.

3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST.

BC took the most recent meeting against Saskatchewan back on October 25 on this very field, 27-21. They also enter today's matchup red-hot, winning seven consecutive outings, including both games played on the road during that span. They have last taken the field on November 1, and did have some time to rest, heal, and prepare. The home team Saskatchewan, dropped back-to-back games and have only won two of their last six outings, straight up. They played their last contest back on October 25. My friends, being well-rested is important. But having not taken the field for two weeks, I feel is detrimental to this team as they will come in here rusty. Momentum plays a big part of the postseason, for sure. And right now, the Lions have momentum. Take British Columbia. Thank you.

Montreal Alouettes.

Game 231.

12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST.

Do you think the odds makers are looking to trap you here? Hamilton has won and covered the last two meetings against Montreal, but yet they enter this matchup a small underdog. I've been doing this a long time, my friends, and I put a lot of stock in momentum. First of all, the Tiger-cats have not taken the field since October 24, while the Alouettes had their last contest played on November 1. There is a difference between being well-rested, and being rusty. I do believe the home team will come in here rusty. Hamilton finished their season splitting out their last 10 games straight up, and only covering four of those 10 outings. Meanwhile Montreal finished with momentum, winning six of their last seven straight up, and covering five of those seven against the spread. They are an excellent road team, and I do believe they will come in here a little sharper. Let's not forget revenge, it is a dish that serve cold. Take the Alouettes. Thank you.

Texas Longhorns.

SURE SHOT play.

Game 306566.

12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST.

The Lafayette Leopards have already played two games thus far this early in the regular season. They opened up the campaign on the road covering a 13.5-point spread as an underdog, losing to Saint Joe's, 85-76. Then two days later, devoured Dickinson College, by 35-points. I think we can all agree this is a big step up in class today for the team. Having said that, Texas began this season getting blown out by Duke back on November 4, 75-60. If you recall they finished last season with back-to-back losses and no covers, losing by 11 to Tennessee, and then by six to Xavier. It’s time for them to get some self-esteem, folks. This team is starting this year's campaign just outside the top 25 rankings. They have something desperately to prove. If you recall last season, they opened up with an ugly eight-point loss on a neutral court as a 1.5-point favorite against the Ohio State Buckeyes. They then rattled off seven consecutive victories over some solid competition, and covered some big numbers against some nonconference lesser opposition. Does this sound familiar, my friends? They beat Houston Christian by 31, Chicago State by 47, Mississippi Valley State by 46, Delaware State by 22, Arkansas Pine Bluff by 44, New Orleans by 26, and Northwestern State by 24. They don't have a serious opponent until the 24th when they face Arizona State. Between now and then they have Lafayette, FDU, UMKC, and Rider. So, I don't think they're going to be caught in a look ahead situation, or sandwiched between anyone, because they have four easy opponents over the next several weeks, and they really do want to prove something being not ranked in the top 25 in the preseason polls. Lay the wood with the Longhorns. Thank you.

Memphis Tigers.

VI MOVE.

Game 622.

12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST.

The San Francisco Dons are a good team. They opened up this season with a 45-point blowout win over UC Santa Cruz. I think we can all agree that today’s opponent is a big step up in class (lol). The Dons opened up last year's campaign playing some good basketball. They even surprised the Broncos of Boise State in their second game of the regular season. However, their first loss was against Memphis on a neutral court, 68-64, as a small favorite. It seems that when they were really asked to step up in class outside of their conference, they fell a little short. Speaking of the Tigers, this will be their first outing of the 2025/2026 season. This is a team that came very close a season ago, my friends. They began last year's regular season red-hot, rattling off six consecutive wins and covers against some very good opponents; Missouri Tigers, UNLV Rebels, Connecticut Huskies, Michigan State Spartans, and yes, even the San Francisco Dons. This is a team that fell short last year towards the end of March, and wants to start this season off with a bang. While they do face strong competition in the AAC, I do believe this is a much more physical conference, and this will benefit the team. They do have the confidence of knowing they took last year's matchup with San Francisco. I feel Memphis will come out here with something to prove and prove it. This is a team that finished last year's regular season and going into the postseason, winning eight consecutive contests against some stiff competition. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

*BIG TEN BIG GAME*I come off my BIG TEN REGULAR SEASON GAME OF THE YEAR WINNER last week. My BLOCKBUSTER releases are a perfect 100% at 4-0 in college football in 2025. What do you get when I put the two together: BIG TEN BLOCKBUSTER GAME OF THE MONTH. If you only play 1 game this week, make sure it is this one.

Indiana Hoosiers.

Game 145.

9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST.

This week's national rankings have the Ohio State Buckeyes as the #1 team in the nation, and the Indiana Hoosiers as a #2 team. Both teams are undefeated in both conference play, and overall. Without question, style-points count. Don't fool yourself, my friends, teams know they must run up scores to keep their status in these rankings. Put a pin in that, we will come back around to it. It wasn't that long ago, only two seasons ago, the Nittany Lions were 31-point favorites against the Indiana Hoosiers. They did win that contest at home, but only nine-points. As a matter of fact, this is a big revenge situation for the Hoosiers, who lost the last three meetings against the Nittany Lions. As you all know not only is Indiana a perfect 9-0 this season, they've also covered six of their nine contests, which does include their last two road games. They have already recovered numbers this season of 35.5, 47.5, 26.5, and 21-points. Let's not forget they've taken down such notables as Illinois, Iowa, and Oregon. They top the nation in scoring, while ranked third in points allowed. On both sides of the line of scrimmage, they do not possess a weakness. As far as Penn State goes, don't let the headlines for you. Last week’s game against Ohio State was not as close as a 38-14 final score. They were only trailing by three-points at the half, but yet Ohio State came out and shut them down while scoring 21 unanswered points in the last two quarters. They have covered just one game since December 31, riding a 1-9 ATS cold streak. They're passing attack is nonexistent, and they're rushing attack ranks 70th. Yes, they're pretty good at defending the pass, but cannot stop the run at all. I see the Hoosiers and their eighth-ranked rushing attack absolutely steamrolling the porous 84th-ranked run defense of the home team. They're going to wear down the Penn State defense so badly, it will open up their passing attack, and this game will get out of hand by the second half. With only a few games left in the regular season, Indiana must stay perfect, and must keep their foot on the gas to earn those style-points. Oh, and crush PSU to exact some revenge from recent meetings. Being favored by a little over two touchdowns, is a gift. Take the Hoosiers. Thank you.

North Carolina Tar heels.

Game 144.

1:30 PM PST/4:30 PM EST.

Are Bill Belichick's North Carolina boys starting to come around? In my opinion, they are. Their defense has allowed 21, 17, and 10 points in their last three outings, all by the way, ATS Covers. Their last matchup their offense came alive on the road besting Syracuse, 27-10. What can you say about Stanford? There are just 3-6 straight up, and 2-7 against the spread this season, losing and failing to cover all five of their away games in 2025. As a matter of fact, the last time they covered a game on the road was November of last year. Their offense is absolutely dismal. They average just 17.8 points per game, coughing the ball up 14 times, with absolutely one of the single worst running games in the nation, ranking 134th, and averaging just 80.3 yards per game on the ground. The only bright spot is possibly a mediocre (at best) passing game. Defensively they can't stop the pass, they have just three takeaways, and they are getting steamrolled for over 30.1 points per game. On the road this season, they've allowed 35.2 points per game. The way the Tar Heels defense has tightened up, and riding the momentum from last week’s victory over the Orange, I feel this team is the play this week. Take UNC. Thank you.

Florida State Seminoles.

Game 137.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

As I mentioned in my promotion of this game, who would've thought months ago that the FSU/Clemson matchup wouldn't have any luster to it?! Yes, the Tigers have taken eight of the last 10 meetings in this series straight up, covering six of those 10, but have failed to cover the last two matchups over the last two seasons. Speaking of covering the number, the tigers are just 2-6 ATS this season, and have failed to cover all five games played at home in 2025. Their last two outings, both home games, their defense got smoked for 81 points in losses against the Mustangs and the Blue Devils. Meanwhile, Florida State, following a four-game straight up and against the spread slide, came up big last week shutting down Wake Forest, 42-7. Granted, they are 0-2 on the road this season, both SU and ATS, but this team can ride some momentum from last week's route into this week's matchup. Say what you want about the Seminoles, but they own a top-10 scoring offense, and only allow 20.6 points per game on defense. They’ve got a deadly aerial assault, and a punishing ground attack offensively. Every team that has taken Clemson down has had a good passing game. While the Tigers rank 96th against the pass, they are good against the run. But they have a stop-unit that has forced just five takeaways this season. This is very uncharacteristic for any Dabo Swinney defense. When Clemson has the ball, they have an outstanding passing attack. But ranking 110th in running the ball, makes them a very one-dimensional offense, that allows defenses to key on the passing game. They've also turned the ball over 13 times. By the way, say what you want about FSU, but their defense ranks 41st against the pass and 27th against the rush. By the way they've already snagged 10 takeaways as well. Playing at home would normally give the Tigers an edge. But not this season. Take the Seminoles. Thank you.

West Virginia Mountaineers.

Game 134.

9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST.

West Virginia came to life last week taking down Houston on the road, 45-35, as a double-digit underdog. That was their second consecutive ATS cover, and their third over the last four outings. Meanwhile, Colorado took another beat down. As a matter of fact, they have lost and failed to cover their last two outings, being out-scored by a combined 105-24. This team is winless on the road this season, going 0-3, both straight up and against the spread as a visitor. Granted, the Mountaineers score only a little bit more than the Buffaloes. But Colorado's offense is non-existent, and have turned the ball over 14 times thus far. Neither defense is that tough either, my friends, but the West Virginia stop-unit has snagged 10 takeaways, compared to Colorado's, which has just three takeaways this season. What I do feel you're going to see is the 45th-ranked rushing attack of the Mountaineers offense, control the clock, control the tempo, move the chains, and tire their opponents lackluster defense down. I see West Virginia riding momentum from their last several outings, a tough six-point loss at the hands of the TCU at home, and then that surprising 10-point victory as a double-digit ‘dog last week over Houston. Take West Virginia. Thank you.
