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.

- Anaheim is 10-2 SU in its last 12 games.

- Winnipeg is 4-12 SU in its last 16 games on the road.

- Winnipeg is 4-11 SU in its last 15 games against an opponent in the Western Conference.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

Friday’s FREE WINNER: Anaheim Ducks.

Game 48.

7:05 PM ST/10:05 PM ES.

I feel the line is a little bit short here, my friends. In my opinion, streaks and trends play apart in all major sports, but maybe even more in the NHL. Right now, Winnipeg is struggling while Anaheim is surging. The Jets have only four victories of their last 10 outings while the Ducks are an 8-2 run. Anaheim also comes in here with the confidence of knowing they took the only meeting against Winnipeg this season, at the beginning of November at home, 4-1. That was a third victory of the last four meetings with tonight’s opponent. Sporting an overall home record of 18-8-1, the Ducks are one of the best teams in the Western Conference when playing on their own ice. Meanwhile, the Jets have struggled on the road, going just 11-15-3 away from home this season. The advantages don't just stop there, my friends. Without question, Anaheim possesses the better scoring offense, and come into this contest, a bit healthier. Playing at home, possessing a better scoring offense, and riding momentum tells me Anaheim is to play here. Take the Ducks. Thank you.

1* Free Pick on Niagara +8½

google:search{queries:[Quinnipiac vs Niagara basketball February 27 2026 schedule,Niagara basketball injury report February 2026,Quinnipiac basketball injury report February 2026,Niagara basketball Gallagher Center home record 2025-26,Quinnipiac basketball road ATS record 2025-26]}Quinnipiac is laying too many points on the road against a team that nearly pulled the upset three weeks ago. These two squads met on February 7, and the Bobcats only managed a one-point victory in a 56-55 nail-biter.

The betting market is overreacting to Quinnipiac's overall record while ignoring their recent form. The Bobcats have lost two straight games heading into tonight and failed to cover the spread in both of those contests.

Niagara is a much tougher out when they are playing at the Gallagher Center. The Purple Eagles have a veteran core that understands how to disrupt the Bobcats' offensive rhythm in a tight, hostile environment.

Quinnipiac relies heavily on the three-pointer, which is a dangerous way to live in a loud road gym. They have struggled with their shooting consistency away from home, hitting just 31% from deep over their last three road trips.

Niagara’s defense is designed to slow the pace and limit transition opportunities for opponents. They held Quinnipiac to a season-low point total in their last meeting and should be able to dictate the tempo again tonight.

In the MAAC, these Friday night matchups are almost always physical grinds that come down to the wire. Getting 8.5 points with a home underdog in a clear revenge spot is way too much value to pass up.

The Bobcats are feeling the pressure of the upcoming conference tournament and look like a team that is starting to run out of steam. Expect Niagara to keep this within two possessions for the full forty minutes.

I like the Niagara +8.5 (-110).

Friday's NBA Free Pick 

PLAY ON: Nuggets +8.5

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 Merrimack minus the points over Canisius at 7 pm et on Friday.

We'll lay the points in this matchup between two teams with opposite overall records. Merrimack owns the better overall mark and has faced the tougher schedule by most metrics this season. The Warriors are coming off a subpar shooting performance last time out but still scored 88 points in an overtime victory over Iona. Prior to that contest, Merrimack had held 10 straight opponents to 24 or fewer made field goals and I'm confident it can make light work of a struggling Canisius team here. The Golden Griffins will undoubtedly have one eye on Senior Day as their home finale comes up on Sunday against Quinnipiac. Canisius enters this contest having connected on 24 or fewer field goals in seven straight contests. I don't anticipate it being able to keep pace in this one. Take Merrimack (8*).

Cavaliers vs Pistons NBA Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Cleveland Cavaliers are a disappointing 25-35 against the spread on the season, but this is one of few spots they've been profitable in. The Cavs are 6-3 as road underdogs, 4-1 against the spread as road underdogs against rivals from the East. The Detroit Pistons have had a great season, but own a losing record as home favorites and won by just four points when they hosted the Cavs last month. 

The Bet: CAVS (2%).
