NCAA-B | Auburn vs Florida
Play on: Florida -1½ -110 at BMaker
Auburn is off their first loss of the season last time out at Alabama by a 83-64 count . I personally believe the Tigers have out performed their talent base this season, and I was not totally surprised by what happened . Meanwhile , Mike White’s Gators have gone 4-1 SU in their L/5 and have outscored their opposition at home by 10.9 ppg and have the motivation of revenge on board for their SEC exit last season to Bruce Pearls program. The Gators have mostly owned this series and are 21-3 SU L/24 meetings in this series and get my support here today.
Play on Florida to cover

NCAA-B | Purdue vs Maryland
Play on: UNDER 126½ -110
The season figures show Purdue ranked 11th in the nation defensively giving up 59.6 points a game and Maryland having the 29th-stingiest defense allowing 61.4 points. Hence a low total here. But is the total low enough? I say no. There hasn't been a Purdue game all season in which more than 126 points were scored during regulation. The Boilermakers just held 14th-ranked Michigan State to 42 points this past Sunday. Maryland isn't shooting well. The Terrapins are averaging 56.6 points during their last three games and are off consecutive road losses to Iowa and Wisconsin. The Under has cashed 16 of the last 21 times following a game Maryland lost. The Terrapins are home now where they are unbeaten. Neither team plays at a quick pace. Maryland's offense isn't in good form. Purdue relies on its defense not offense. So this sets up has a grind down, defensive slugfest where every basket will be hotly contested.

NCAA-B | Providence vs Creighton
Play on: Creighton -7 -103 at Pinnacle
Dave’s Saturday Free Play:
1* on Creighton -7
The Key: Creighton is hungry for a win after losing 3 of its last 4 games against a very difficult schedule. They have played 3 road games against Butler, Xavier and Georgetown as well as a home games against Villanova. The Bluejays have faced the 13th-toughest schedule in the nation. It eases up here against a Providence team that has upset losses to Northwestern, Penn, Long Beach State, College of Charleston and Rhode Island this year. The Bluejays have a huge home-court advantage as they are 11-1 at home this year with their only loss coming to Villanova after they blew a double-digit lead. The Friars are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Bluejays are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games off a loss. The Bluejays are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Take Creighton.

NCAA-B | Northwestern vs Illinois
Play on: UNDER 133½ -109
Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Northwestern/Illinois UNDER 133.5
Both Illinois and Northwestern prefer to slow the pace down. Northwestern ranks 237th in adjusted tempo while Illinois ranks 223rd. And both teams are in the top 100 in adjusted defense with Illinois (31st) and Northwestern (97th).
Both teams are very poor shooting teams as Illinois is 310th in 3-point percentage at 30% while Northwestern is 280th at 31.2%. These teams combine to average just 11 made 3-pointers per game. It’s safe to say this is going to be a low-scoring game mostly played in the paint.
The Wildcats are only averaging 58 points per game on the road in Big Ten play. Illinois has held its Big Ten opponents to just 50 points per game at home this year. They held Rutgers to 51, Purdue to 37 and Michigan to 62.
The UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and would be 6-1 if not for an overtime game. The UNDER is 7-2 in Illinois’ last nine games overall. The UNDER is 4-1 in Northwestern’s last five games overall. Bet the UNDER in this game Saturday.

NBA | Pistons vs Hawks
Play on: Pistons -2 -109 at GTBets
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Detroit Pistons -2
The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a huge 121-120 win in San Antonio. It was their first win in San Antonio since 1997, and there was a stat showing all five starters on the Hawks weren’t even born since the last time they won there. It’s safe to say the Hawks will be celebrating that feat. And now they must travel back to Atlanta and play for a second consecutive night. They won’t have much left in the tank for the Pistons tonight, especially after coming back from a 14-point deficit in the 4th quarter against the Spurs that took a lot of energy. Detroit comes in on two days’ rest and off a 116-103 win at Boston as 9.5-point dogs. The Hawks are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games against a team with a losing record. Give me the Pistons.

NBA | Kings vs Jazz
Play on: Jazz -9½ -105 at Pinnacle
** Saturday Featured Free Play **
The NBA Comp Play is on Utah at 9:05 eastern. The Jazz are home for Sacramento after getting losing on the road in a game where they allowed 138 points. The Jazz are 6-1 to the spread at home after a game where they allowed 120 or more. Sacramento have failed to cover 5 of 6 on the road off a game where they allowed 120 or more at home. To tie in a nice league wide system we note that rested home favorites of 5 or more with a 210+ total that cored and allowed 120 or more like Utah have covered 85% since 1995 vs an opponent that was a home dog in their last game. Look for the Jazz to cover.

West Virginia is riding high coming into this game and are in a perfect letdown spot against a very scrappy Kansas State team that has lost 4 in a row and has their backs to the wall in this game. KState beatdown WVU last season and yes their is revenge here but I love a good home dog.
Invest 10 units on Kansas State rotation #652

TCU at Oklahoma 2:00 ET
Horned Frogs (+) over Sooners- Both of these Big-12 clubs are off of disappointing losses as TCU was hammed by West Virginia 81-49 and the Sooners fell at home to Kansas. Although Oklahoma is 11-5 SU on the season they are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall and the Horned Frogs have been no prize against the number and are 6-9 ATS on the season. TCU's head coach is smarting from the worst loss of his coaching career and will have his toads leaping for the ball and they will need to and I'll tell you why. The Sooners are 12-3 in the series and have won the last four and they are 12-0 all-time against the Horned Frogs at Lloyd Noble Center. But, this line is short for a reason...take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!
