Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Calgary is 2-6 SU in its last 8 games.

- The Sharks are 3-1 in their last 4 home games.

- Calgary is 2-6 in their last 8 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

This is a play on the MEMPHIS TIGERS for our Thursday Free Play. Memphis had its opportunity to remain in the mix in the American Athletic Conference after a 7-3 start but the Tigers have lost their last four games and the only shot at an NCAA Tournament berth is to win the upcoming conference championship which is not out of the question. The Tigers still have an outside shot at a No. 4 seed although seven teams are within two games vying for that final spot that gives them a bye into the quarterfinals. Memphis has dropped all four of the recent games against the spread as well while playing to avenge a 15-point loss in Wichita a month ago. The Shockers have won three straight, five of six and eight of their last 10 games after a 2-3 start in the conference and one more win will guarantee one of the top for spots and that will likely happen in the next games against 1-14 UTSA. Wichita St. is 5-4 on the road overall but three of those wins were in overtime including two in the American where they are 4-3 away from home. Memphis is 11-1 in its last 12 games playing with revenge. Play (816) Memphis Tigers

Atlanta draws Washington at home, and the Wizards remain one of the league’s weakest road teams. The Hawks’ scoring depth and pace should overwhelm a Washington defense that has struggled all season. Atlanta is positioned to control this matchup from start to finish.

In the super featherweight division, where power meets precision, Emanuel Navarrete steps into the ring against Eduardo "Sugar" Nunez this Saturday, February 28, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, aiming to unify the WBO and IBF titles, a bout that pits a battle-tested veteran against a knockout machine, highlighting the raw excitement of Mexican boxing rivalries. Navarrete, with a record of 39-2-1 including 32 knockouts, has proven his mettle across multiple weight classes, capturing world titles in super bantamweight, featherweight, and now super featherweight, relying on his awkward style, high volume punching, and relentless pressure that often overwhelms opponents over the distance. At 31 years old, standing 5'7" with a 72-inch reach, the orthodox fighter from Mexico has faced top competition, including notable wins over Isaac Dogboe, Joet Gonzalez, and Oscar Valdez, where his durability shone through, absorbing punishment while outworking foes in grueling exchanges. His most recent outing, a no-contest against Charly Suarez in May 2025 due to an accidental headbutt, still showcased his ability to control the pace, even if it ended prematurely, reminding bettors of his edge in chaotic, high-action fights.

On the other side, Eduardo "Sugar" Nunez enters with a sparkling 29-1 record, boasting 27 knockouts for a staggering 93% stoppage rate, a statistic that underscores his devastating power, particularly in a division known for explosive finishes. The 28-year-old orthodox puncher from Los Mochis, Mexico, measures 5'6" with a 68-inch reach, using his compact frame to deliver thunderous hooks and uppercuts, as evidenced by his 19-fight winning streak, including a unanimous decision over Christopher Diaz in September 2025 to retain his IBF belt. Nunez claimed the vacant IBF title in May 2025 with a decision victory over Masanori Rikiishi in Japan, proving he can go the distance when needed, though his career has largely been defined by early stoppages against lesser opposition, raising questions about his performance against elite, volume-based fighters.

Betting trends in boxing title unification bouts favor the more experienced fighter, even as an underdog, with data showing that in the last decade, challengers with multi-division pedigrees have upset favorites in roughly 35% of such matchups, often capitalizing on stamina and tactical adjustments in later rounds. In super featherweight specifically, where the average fight sees a 65% knockout rate due to the blend of speed and power, underdogs like Navarrete thrive when opponents rely heavily on early finishes, as seen in recent trends where volume punchers have won 60% of decisions in competitive 130-pound clashes. Overall boxing wagering patterns indicate that moneyline favorites in title fights cash at about 70%, but when the line sits around -190 as it does for Nunez, sharp action often flows to the plus-money side, especially in all-Mexican affairs known for their unpredictability and high engagement levels.

Key angles here revolve around stylistic contrasts, with Navarrete's unorthodox approach and superior reach potentially neutralizing Nunez's power, forcing the fight into deeper waters where the veteran's 254 career rounds of experience dwarf Nunez's 126, creating opportunities for a grind-it-out victory. Bettors should note Nunez's lone loss came via decision in 2018, exposing vulnerabilities against durable opponents, while Navarrete's two defeats were narrow decisions early in his career, since overcome by his adaptation in big spots. This matchup screams value on the underdog, particularly given super featherweight's trend toward longer fights in unification scenarios, where over 9.5 rounds has hit in 55% of recent examples.

For the top pick, back Navarrete on the moneyline at +150, a solid spot leveraging his championship pedigree in what figures to be a frenetic, crowd-pleasing war, where his volume and heart could turn the tide against Nunez's one-punch threat. For those chasing higher returns, consider Navarrete by decision around +300, aligning with trends where experienced fighters outlast power punchers in 12-rounders, avoiding the knockout risk while capitalizing on judges' preference for activity. Always wager responsibly, focusing on these angles to maximize edge in a division ripe for upsets.

My selection is on USC Upstate plus the points over Radford at 7 pm et on Thursday.

We'll grab all the points we can get with underdog USC Upstate on Thursday as it looks to avenge an earlier 76-69 home loss against Radford. The Spartans own the inferior overall record in this matchup this season but have faced the more difficult schedule by most metrics. They dropped the first meeting by only seven points and turned in a dreadful shooting performance (26-for-66 from the field). I do think they're catching Radford at the right time here as the Highlanders have allowed five of their last six opponents to connect on 29 or more field goals. On the flip side, they've been held to 25 or fewer successful field goal attempts in three of their last four contests. Take USC Upstate (8*).
