NCAA-B | Feb 06, 2025 Western Kentucky vs Kennesaw State |
OVER 156 -116 |
Lost $116.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units The Owls and Hilltoppers combined to miss 17 free throws in that one. Kennesaw shot 8-for-41 (19.5-percent) from three-point range. The Owls started the game 4-for-20 from the floor and did not cross the double-digit point mark until there was eight minutes remaining in the first half. Playing at home in the rematch should help to settle some of those shooting woes. In conference play, Kennesaw State is scoring an average of 75.4 points per game at home compared to 72 points per game on the road. |

NCAA-B | Feb 06, 2025 Maryland vs Ohio State |
Maryland +2½ -116 at BookMaker |
Lost $116.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units Maryland beat Ohio State by 24 earlier this season. The Terps had a poor night from three-point range (7-for-25) and still smacked the Buckeyes. Maryland was up 50-17 at halftime and forced 17 turnovers in the contest. Where are the Buckeyes going to be able to close that gap? Maryland is top-25 in the country in both offensive and defensive efficiency. All five of Maryland's losses this season have been decided by six points or less. Advanced analytics from Bart Torvik and Eric Haslam both have Maryland favored in this matchup, and we're inclined to agree. |

NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Rockets vs Wolves |
UNDER 214½ -108 |
Lost $108.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units The Rockets are averaging just 106 ppg across their last five and both teams sitting top six in defensive efficiency on the season. Both also rank top eight in fewest fast break points allowed on the season with Minnesota running at a bottom five pace on the season as well. Randle and Donte DiVincenzo who will also miss this game scored 49 of the team’s 113 total points in their last head-to-head matchup with Fred VanVleet scoring 18 on Houston’s side who will miss tonight as well. Look for defense to take precedence in Minnesota tonight. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Mavs vs Celtics |
OVER 229½ -108 |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units Dallas is 7-1 to the “over” and Boston 5-3 to the “over” across their last eight games respectively. When playing as a road underdog the Mavericks are 12-5 to the “over” on the season with these two combining to go 20-13 to the “over” in non-conference games. Sure, the Mavericks sit 13th in defensive efficiency on the season, but in their last 10 games specifically they rank 25th in defensive rating. Dallas runs at a top ten pace and they may want to run fast tonight, especially with how thin they are in the front court. Look for a high-scoring output in Boston tonight for their non-conference showdown against Boston. |

NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Pacers vs Clippers |
Pacers +5½ -108 at Heritage |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers are fourth in the East, five games behind the New York Knicks and a game and a half ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks. Indiana ranks 10th in the league in adjusted offensive efficiency (115.5 points per 100 possessions) and 20th in adjusted defensive efficiency (114.8). |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Warriors vs Lakers |
Warriors +7½ -108 at Heritage |
Lost $108.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units The Warriors had won four of six before this back-to-back, putting their record back over .500. Then, they traded for Jimmy Butler. Golden State isn't giving up, and it starts with the league's ninth-best defensive rating. They allow the lowest percentage of shots to come at the rim and rank 13th in three-point defense. Another strength of this defense is the 10th-highest defensive rebounding rate. The Warriors are 13th in free throw attempts allowed and 14th in turnovers per game. |

NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Kings vs Blazers |
Kings +1½ -108 at Heritage |
Lost $108.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units Sacramento ranks 11th in the NBA in adjusted NET rating, including 7th in offensive rating and 18th in defensive rating, per Dunks and Threes. The Kings score 116.5 points per game (8th) and shoot 47.4 percent from the field (11th), including 34.6 percent from beyond the arc (24th). Defensively, they surrender 115.2 points per game (22nd) and their opponents shoot 46.5 percent overall (14th) with a 37.4 three-point percentage (29th). |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Rockets vs Wolves |
Wolves +1½ -107 at Ace |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units The Rockets are still missing Steven Adams, Jaden Springer, and Fred VanVleet, while the Timberwolves have ruled out Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo once again. The Rockets could really do with a win to get their season back on track as they are now starting down the barrel of a fifth straight loss, while the Timberwolves have continued their strong form with a solid win over the Bulls last night. The Rockets will turn things around sooner rather than later, but they're struggling right now and their confidence took another shot after losing to the lowly Nets in a heartbreaking fashion in their last game. The Rockets open as slight favorites because the Timberwolves are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, but I still think the Timberwolves get the job done at home in a close one. |

NHL | Feb 06, 2025 Maple Leafs vs Seattle Kraken |
Seattle Kraken +146 at circa |
Lost $100.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units Joey Daccord allowed four goals on 40 shots last Tuesday. He’s 18-13-3 with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage this season, while Michael Matyas is currently waiting for his NHL debut, as the Kraken waved Philipp Grubauer last week. |

Matchup | Selection | W/L |
NHL | Feb 06, 2025 Avalanche vs Flames |
Flames +143 at Heritage |
Lost $100.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units Calgary comes into this matchup playing some very inconsistent hockey, but they will be at home for this game. The Flames are 16-9-3 at home this year, while the Avalanche are 15-12-0 on the road. Colorado has won two of their last three games, but they have not played very well over the last three weeks. Neither team is playing very well right now, but Colorado is 0-2 in their last two road games and Calgary is one of the best home teams in the country. Take the Flames here. |
