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.
