NCAA-B | Feb 06, 2025 Fairleigh Dickinson vs Central Connecticut State |
Fairleigh Dickinson +10 -110 at circa |
Lost $110.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
My selection is on Fairleigh Dickinson plus the points over Central Connecticut State at 8 pm ET on Thursday. We'll grab all the points we can with Fairleigh Dickinson as it looks to bounce back following an 'upset' home loss against Mercyhurst and consecutive ATS defeats overall. While FDU owns a worse overall record than Central Connecticut State, it has faced a tougher schedule and is being given a generous helping of points in this spot. Meanwhile, Central Connecticut State is riding a five-game SU and ATS winning streak but could be in line for a letdown following a perfect 2-0 road trip. This shapes up as a tricky situational spot for the Blue Devils, giving Fairleigh Dickinson an opportunity to keep this one competitive. Take Fairleigh Dickinson. Projected score: Central Connecticut State 72, Fairleigh Dickinson 68. |

NCAA-B | Feb 06, 2025 Long Island vs Wagner |
Long Island +1½ -110 at Heritage |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
NEC Game of the Year. My selection is on Long Island plus the points over Wagner at 7 pm ET on Thursday. We'll back Long Island as it looks to snap its four-game SU and ATS losing streak on the road against conference rival Wagner. While Wagner is coming off a double-digit win and cover against Le Moyne, it's worth noting that the Seahawks have faced one of the weakest schedules in the country this season and have still only managed a 12-10 SU record. Long Island, meanwhile, is in desperate need of a bounce-back effort following an 'upset' road loss against Chicago State on Saturday. Before its current slide, LIU had reeled off six straight wins SU and seven in a row ATS, proving it’s capable of a strong showing. This is a key opportunity for the Sharks to salvage something from their two-game road trip before returning home for a pair of winnable matchups. Meanwhile, Wagner could be caught looking ahead to the start of a two-game road swing on Saturday at Fairleigh Dickinson. Take Long Island. Projected score: Long Island 69, Wagner 65. |

NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Rockets vs Wolves |
Rockets -1 -110 at circa |
Lost $110.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
My selection is on Houston minus the points over Minnesota at 8 pm ET on Thursday. The Rockets are reeling right now, having dropped four straight games, including an upset loss in Brooklyn two nights ago in a tough back-to-back spot following a tight loss in New York. This sets up as a prime bounce-back opportunity as they catch the Timberwolves playing on no rest after their blowout win over the Bulls last night. That victory simply snapped Minnesota’s two-game slide, and this matchup presents a much tougher test. Notably, the road team has won both previous meetings between these teams this season, but I expect that trend to end here. Houston should take advantage of the schedule edge and deliver a strong performance at home. Take Houston. Projected score: Houston 115, Minnesota 106. |

NBA | Feb 06, 2025 Pacers vs Clippers |
OVER 227½ -110 |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Top Premium | ||
Non-Conference Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'over' between Indiana and Los Angeles at 10:30 pm ET on Thursday. We'll call for a high-scoring affair as the Pacers look to bounce back from a shocking blowout loss in Portland, while the Clippers aim to avoid a third straight defeat after falling to the rival Lakers on Tuesday. Despite the 'under' cashing in Indiana's last two games, the Pacers continue to push the tempo, allowing four straight and eight of their last nine opponents to attempt at least 89 field goals. They've also surrendered 40+ made field goals in three of their last four contests. Meanwhile, the Clippers have struggled defensively, allowing four consecutive opponents to hit 42 or more shots from the field. Indiana’s offense should benefit in this spot after seeing its streak of six straight games making 43+ field goals halted against Portland in a tough back-to-back situation. Expect plenty of scoring in this non-conference matchup. Take the 'over'. Projected score: Indiana 121, Los Angeles 118. |

NHL | Feb 06, 2025 Golden Knights vs Devils |
Golden Knights +100 at PlayMGM |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Free | ||
Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on Vegas over New Jersey at 7 pm ET on Thursday. We'll back the Golden Knights as they look to snap their four-game losing streak in Newark. Vegas is off to an 0-2 start on its current eastern road trip and will be highly motivated to bounce back before heading to Boston on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Devils narrowly avoided a second straight loss with a shootout victory in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. They've been inconsistent of late, going just 4-6 over their last 10 games. Look for the Knights to rally and avoid a fifth consecutive defeat in this favorable matchup. Take Vegas. Projected score: Vegas 4, New Jersey 2. |

NHL | Feb 06, 2025 Utah Hockey Club vs Blue Jackets |
OVER 5½ -120 |
Lost $120.0 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
My selection is on the 'over' between Utah and Columbus at 7 pm ET on Thursday. While Utah enters this game riding a five-game 'under' streak, I expect that trend to be in jeopardy here. Columbus returns home after back-to-back road losses in Dallas and Buffalo, with its most recent contest being a low-scoring 3-2 affair. However, the Blue Jackets have been a different team offensively on home ice, averaging an impressive 4.2 goals per game this season. Utah, on the other hand, has averaged a respectable 3.0 goals per game on the road. With both teams capable of generating offense and Columbus in a prime bounce-back spot at home, I anticipate an up-tempo, high-scoring affair. Take the over. Projected score: Utah 4, Columbus 3. |
