*Free Play Over* The Denver Pioneers are a tremendous over team. Denver is 361st out of 365 teams in the country in defensive efficiency. Denver is 82nd in offensive efficiency. Carson Johnson and Zane Nelson have been playing really well on offense for this crew. Denver has scored 85 points or more in four straight games.
South Dakota State has allowed 87 points or more in three of their last four games. The Jackrabbits offense has been better at home though, and they should go off against this very weak Denver defense.
Take the over.

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Take Tijuana/America DRAW (+270) (10 p.m. EST, Friday January 9) Doc’s is thrilled that their top league, Liga MX, is returning to action this Friday, and we get a very intriguing matchup tonight from Estadio Caliente in Tijuana. The Baja California side looks like a team on the rise, and they made the playoffs last season. Their success was a result of their play at home, as they were a completely different team at home vs. away fixtures. We see the same results this season. The playoffs were a prime example of their stark contrast between away and home performance for Tijuana. In their first leg against runner up Tigres UANL, they won 3-0 at home and just needed to not lose by more than two goals in the road leg, but Tigres bounced Tijuana in a 5-0 match. Tijuana collected points in all their home matches last season. They usually had to settle for a point against top sides, as they drew with eventual champion Toluca and also Monterrey. We don’t see them losing this match, but we also think it would be a little far fetched for them to beat mighty America from Mexico City outright. Three of the last four meetings have ended in a draw, including the last two in Tijuana. This is a really good price for that trend to continue on opening night.

Mike Lundin
Pacers vs Hornets NBA Free Pick
The Angle: The Charlotte Hornets have exceeded expectations more often than not this season, but this looks like a tough spot after losing to Toronto on a last-second three-ball last night.
Sure, they're perfect 7-0 against the spread on no rest, but again, last night's loss was brutal and they'll face a desperate Indiana team looking to end an ugly 13-game losing streak. The Pacers can't be anything but undervalued right now, and I think they can steal this one.
The Bet: PACERS (2%).
24-17 (59%) NBA RUN: For Thursday, Mike has a solid premium pick on Heat/Bulls!

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.
- The Blue Jackets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games.
- The Golden Knights are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games.
- The Blue Jackets are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
Verdict: The value is on the Road Underdog.
