Monday NHL Free Pick

NHL Free Picks YTD 1-0 (100%) +$145 GM #5 Tampa Bay Lightning ml +104 (pinnacle) risking $100 to win $104 In home and home series I like to take the loser of the first game and "Play On" that team the next game in the series.  This is the case here as the Lightning lost to Florida in OT on Saturday night 5-4 and now play at Florida where they have won the last seven of eight games there.  Tampa can score in bunches and have done well against it's in state rival with scoring four or more goals in their last seven of eight meetings and in three of those meetings were 5 or more.  Florida only 2 wins in their last 8 and in both those wins they were outshot by their opponent.  Florida has trouble putting back-to-back winning effects so far this season.  The Lightning have not lost two in a row to Florida in six years and with this cheap price to pay for this spot (mentioned at the beginning) I see Tampa having the far higher probability to win this game.

Free NBA Sunday Night Premium Play

Posting up one of my Premium Plays for tonight free that I feel is a great situational spot to fade the Pistons. Tip Off 9:35pm EDT GM #714 Lakers +5 -115 (Bovada) risking $460 to win $400 GM #714 Lakers ml +171 (pinnacle) risking $200 to win $342 Horrible spot for the Pistons here: 1.  6th straight road game 2.  every game on the West coast 3.  tail end of a back-to-back and second back to back game on this 6 game road trip 4.  6th game in 10 days The Pistons also struggled last season vs the Lakers, going 0-2 SU/ATS and losing both of those games straight up as a fav. Lakers win this game in the end against a tired Pistons team. Good luck to all tonight!! Derek

NFL Sunday FREE PICK

NFL YTD 5-6 (45.4%) -$160 GM #258 Rams -7 -110 (SB) risking $110 to win $100 Tough spot for the Bears on the road today.  After an upset win on MNF against the Chargers and now coming off a short week, going on the road for the fourth time in the last 5 games and facing Todd Gurley, might be a recipe for disaster for the Bears.  This will be a different test for the Bears as the Rams own a stout D, ranked 5 overall, 4th against the pass and 5th with the pass rush (27 sacks).  They’ll have Robert Quinn and TJ McDonald returning to the lineup, as both sat out last week.  Jeff Fishers D has had recent success versus the Adam Gase designed offense beating Denver last season at home when Gase was the OC for the Broncos.The Rams have shown they can win by big margins this season at home with blowout wins versus the Browns and 49ers, I know these aren't powerhouse teams, but this is a bad spot for the Bears this week against a smothering D.  Rams win by 10.

CFB Saturday FREE PICK

CFB Free Plays YTD 3-4 (42.8%) -$129 GM #139 Tulane ml +120 (bet365) risking $100 to win $120 The Wave should be prepared for the Army option since it's their third time this season facing the triple-option (G-tech & Navy) which held both to season low yards rushing.   The Wave have surprisingly held two of its last three opponents (AAC powers Houston and Memphis) to season low yardage.  Tulanes QB is back and healthy and should pick apart a soft covering Army secondary.   Calling the small upset here.
