Tulane vs Charlotte
Charlotte +8.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
Charlotte +9.5 looks like the right side here. Tulane is 0-3 on the road this year and just got wrecked at home by UTSA (42-19, six turnovers). Charlotte comes off a bye after its first win of the season (38-31 at Temple) with some real offensive life. The line has already come down a bit, and th...
Charlotte +9.5 looks like the right side here. Tulane is 0-3 on the road this year and just got wrecked at home by UTSA (42-19, six turnovers). Charlotte comes off a bye after its first win of the season (38-31 at Temple) with some real offensive life. The line has already come down a bit, and the 49ers have been decent covering as bigger dogs. Both teams score around 20 points a game, so this doesn’t figure to get away from Charlotte at home. I’m not banking on the upset, but the points while the bulk of the bettors are on the other side is the right call. Play on the Charlotte 49ers plus the points rotation #116 +9.5 ***DO NOT MISS MY TITANIUM BEST BET WINNER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL FOR FRIDAY NIGTH I AM 47-31 60% IN MY LAST 78 CFB BEST BETS***NBA - Moneyline - Fri, Oct 30 @ 07:10 PM
Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards
Washington Wizards -120 (Consensus Line)
Revenge spot for the Wizards after losing 110-103 in Charlotte earlier this week. Going back to the start of last season, the Wiz are actually 0-5 SU against the Hornets. But there should be plenty of enthusiasm in the building tonight with this being the home debut of #1 overall pick AJ Dybansta...
Revenge spot for the Wizards after losing 110-103 in Charlotte earlier this week. Going back to the start of last season, the Wiz are actually 0-5 SU against the Hornets. But there should be plenty of enthusiasm in the building tonight with this being the home debut of #1 overall pick AJ Dybansta. Meanwhile, there's some strife in the Charlotte locker room as Naz Reid was benched during Wednesday's 97-89 loss in Detroit. Washington lost 121-111 in Cleveland Wednesday night. I had the Cavs -10, but was lucky to push as the game was tied going into the fourth quarter. In fact, the Wizards led by as many as 13 points in the first half. They only shot 25% from three for the game. I expect better shooting at home tonight.NBA - Point Spread - Fri, Oct 30 @ 07:40 PM
Detroit Pistons vs Brooklyn Nets
Brooklyn Nets +7.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
At 7:40 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over Detroit. Even though Brooklyn has not won yet, it does come into this game off a 1-point overtime loss at Boston, as a 12.5-point underdog. I had my Atlantic Division Game of the Month on Brooklyn in that game, an...
At 7:40 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Brooklyn Nets + the points over Detroit. Even though Brooklyn has not won yet, it does come into this game off a 1-point overtime loss at Boston, as a 12.5-point underdog. I had my Atlantic Division Game of the Month on Brooklyn in that game, and I like Brooklyn again here. Since 1990, winless teams that are installed as a home underdog of +7.5 or more points are 49-30 ATS, including 14-4 ATS if they were off an ATS win. Brooklyn is also 86-56 ATS vs. foes off a SU/ATS win when priced from +3.5 to +12 points. And the Pistons are 54-80 ATS following a win by 8 or more points. I’ll take the home underdog Nets. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.NBA - Over / Under - Fri, Oct 30 @ 07:40 PM
New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers
New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Under 228.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
Free Play Under- I think the Knicks come back ready to go in this one with revenge on their minds. Both of these teams are far better than the league average on the defensive end. This should be hotly contested, but primarily be a half court battle. I think this total is set a few points too high...

New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers
New York Knicks -1.5 (-115) (BetMGM)
New York Point Spread -1.5 at Philadelphia [NBA, 7:40 pm et Friday] The Knicks have revenge as the 76ers ruined opening night for New York as Philadelphia defeated them on the night the Knicks raised the championship banner to the rafters.

New York Point Spread -1.5 at Philadelphia [NBA, 7:40 pm et Friday] The Knicks have revenge as the 76ers ruined opening night for New York as Philadelphia defeated them on the night the Knicks raised the championship banner to the rafters. The 76ers might be missing Jaylen Brown (knee) as this is a front end of a back to back situation too. The 76ers are playing at Charlotte tomorrow. The scheduling favors the Knicks since New York will not have another game until Monday. My models are showing the probabilities favoring a game result of the Knicks winning this game by a margin of 6 to 9 points and that equates to substantial value with the favorite laying only 1.5 points in this one.NHL - Moneyline - Fri, Oct 30 @ 08:07 PM
Seattle Kraken vs Calgary Flames
Seattle Kraken -111 (BetOnline)
My selection is on Seattle over Calgary at 8:05 pm et on Friday. We're able to back the Kraken at a very reasonable price on Friday thanks to the Flames recent run. Of course, Calgary's four-game winning streak did come to an end on Wednesday in Edmonton. Not only that but the Flames lost goalte...
My selection is on Seattle over Calgary at 8:05 pm et on Friday. We're able to back the Kraken at a very reasonable price on Friday thanks to the Flames recent run. Of course, Calgary's four-game winning streak did come to an end on Wednesday in Edmonton. Not only that but the Flames lost goaltender Devin Cooley to an injury in that contest. He was a big part of their recent surge. The Kraken delivered a 5-4 win over Toronto two nights ago and have won three of their last four games. They're already 2-0 against the Flames this season, outscoring them by a wide margin of 12-2 in those two contests. Take Seattle (8*).NBA - Point Spread - Fri, Oct 30 @ 10:10 PM
Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns
Denver Nuggets -4 (-115) (BetOnline)
The Denver Nuggets in half of their games so far this season have held their opponents to under 100 points. The Phoenix Suns are just 1-2 and their losses were by a combined 50 points.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take #135 Illinois Fighting Illini over Maryland Terrapins (12 p.m., Saturday, October 31 FS1). I don’t expect Maryland to get much of a spark after firing Mike Locksley. With the remaining staff facing uncertain futures in College Park, keeping this team focused could be a challenge. Illinois still has a bowl berth within reach, and this matchup represents one of its best remaining opportunities to pick up a win. The Illini have won the last two meetings with Maryland, taking last year’s matchup 24-6 after a 27-24 road victory in 2023. Bret Bielema brings the experience to keep Illinois moving forward, and his team has won two straight against opponents stronger than the Maryland squad it faces today. Take the Fighting Illini.

SMU vs Syracuse
Syracuse +10.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
*Free Play on Syracuse* The Syracuse Orange are 23rd in PPA/Pass allowed so far this season. This Syracuse defense is improving quickly. Kevin Jennings has a career TD/INT ratio of only 29/25 on the road. His performance away from home has consistently been mediocre at best. Syracuse is coming o...
*Free Play on Syracuse* The Syracuse Orange are 23rd in PPA/Pass allowed so far this season. This Syracuse defense is improving quickly. Kevin Jennings has a career TD/INT ratio of only 29/25 on the road. His performance away from home has consistently been mediocre at best. Syracuse is coming off a road win at N Carolina. SMU trailed Cal at halftime before outscoring them 42-0 in the second half. I don't like that SMU has been playing down to their competition many of their games this year. A close win against. An ugly tight win over Missouri State. A close win at Florida State. Syracuse has a sneaky good home field advantage. Steve Angeli is listed as questionable, but most believe he will play here. If he plays I think there is a lot of value on Cuse as a double digit dog. Take Syracuse. (60-31 Last 91 CFB Totals plays. 6-2 last weekend in college football.

Wisconsin vs Iowa
Wisconsin vs Iowa Under 36.5 (-110) (BetMGM)
My selection is on the 'under' between Wisconsin and Iowa at 12 noon et on Saturday. Sometimes the oddsmakers can't set a total low (or high) enough and I think that's the case here as the Badgers and Hawkeyes do battle in early action on Saturday. Wisconsin has shown some positive flashes offen...
My selection is on the 'under' between Wisconsin and Iowa at 12 noon et on Saturday. Sometimes the oddsmakers can't set a total low (or high) enough and I think that's the case here as the Badgers and Hawkeyes do battle in early action on Saturday. Wisconsin has shown some positive flashes offensively this season but generally struggles against good defensive opponents, and Iowa certainly qualifies as that. Wisconsin did win 24-7 against USC last week but gained only 3.5 yards per play so that result was a little misleading. Defensively, the Badgers have been on point lately, holding four of their last five opponents to 3.6 yards per play or less. Iowa is trending in the right direction defensively again after limiting Minnesota to 3.4 yards per play in a tough 13-10 road loss last week. After getting off to a hot start to the season offensively, the Hawkeyes have been limited to 4.8 ypp in three of their last four contests. Take the under (8*).NCAAF - Point Spread - Sat, Oct 31 @ 03:15 PM
Stanford vs Louisville
Louisville -22.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
#132 ASA FREE PLAY ON Louisville -22.5 over Stanford, Saturday at 3:15 PM ET Solid spot here for Louisville coming off their bye week and catching a Stanford team off an upset home win over NC State last Friday but had a post game win expectancy of just 28% (lucky win). That win moved the Cardi...
#132 ASA FREE PLAY ON Louisville -22.5 over Stanford, Saturday at 3:15 PM ET Solid spot here for Louisville coming off their bye week and catching a Stanford team off an upset home win over NC State last Friday but had a post game win expectancy of just 28% (lucky win). That win moved the Cardinal to 4-4 on the season, however all of their wins have come at home vs teams all ranked outside the top 70 in our power ratings (Hawaii, Ga Tech, Elon, and NC State). Now they go on the road where they’ve been smoked 3 times this season. This will also be their 4th trip to the eastern time zone since September 19th and playing a motivated and rested Louisville team. The Cardinals (not Cardinal) will be motivated here after losing last year @ Stanford by 3 points as a 20.5 point favorite. Now we’re getting them at home at nearly the same number. Stanford’s 3 road games vs Duke, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame were all blowout losses by a combined score of 150 to 17! They lost all of those games by at least 28 points. They’ve now lost 14 straight road games dating back to September of 2024. Stanford has now made 7 trips to the eastern time zone since the start of last season and they’ve lost 6 of those games by at least 24 points (0-7 SU and 1-6 ATS in those games). Louisville’s offense ranks 3rd in the country averaging 7.7 YPP. They are facing a Stanford defense that 443 YPG (132nd nationally) on 6.4 YPP (128th). On the road that defense is allowing a ridiculous 529 YPG on 7.5 YPP. The Louisville offense, who averages 43 PPG at home this season, should be able to name their score here. Can Stanford keep up? We don’t think so. Their offense isn’t very good overall ranking 107th on total offense and 112th in YPP offense and they’ve only scored a total of 17 points in 3 road games as we mentioned above. This has the makings of a blowout and we’ll lay it with Louisville.NCAAF - Point Spread - Sat, Oct 31 @ 11:00 PM
Oregon State vs Fresno State
Fresno State +6 (-110) (BetMGM)
After starting the season 0-2, Oregon State has gotten on quite the roll. The Beavers now stand at 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS for the season.

After starting the season 0-2, Oregon State has gotten on quite the roll. The Beavers now stand at 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS for the season. Those two SU losses were to Houston and Texas Tech in a pair of competitive efforts. Since then, OSU has rattled off five straight victories by an average of 32.2 points per game. The Beavers have averaged 51 PPG during this win streak and are off a bye, going to Fresno State this week. I do think this is a good time to sell on them. The teams that Oregon State have beaten are really weak. The next two weeks, they have Texas State and Boise State, games the players and coaching staff may be looking ahead to. Fresno State won't be looking ahead to anybody. They too are off a bye, but before that dropped back to back games, including one as 6.5-point road favorites at San Diego State.Get Free Picks, Big Game alerts, and Winning Info from our champion handicappers.
