NCAA-B | Southern Illinois vs Evansville
Play on: Southern Illinois -3 -110 at BMaker
10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Southern Illinois -3)
I'll take my chances here with the Salukis as a mere 3-point road favorite against the Purple Eagles. This feels like a sucker bet, but I can't help it. Southern Illinois comes in on a 5 game winning streak with recent road wins over Drake and Illinois St, as well as a home win over Loyola Chicago. The Salukis are 7-3, tied for the second best record in the MVC.
Evansville has had to go through a lot this year and it's shown on the court. The Purple Eagles enter winless at 0-10 in conference play. They are ranked 295th out of 353 in KenPom and have not really been competitive. Their only two games in MVC play where they didn't lose by double-digits was their two games against Valpo.
They are worst team in both offensive and defensive efficiency and it's not even close compared to the next best team. Southern Illinois is one of the lesser offenses in the MVC, but their going to score against Evansville's defense. As for the Purple Eagles and their awful offense, they will be up against a Salukis defense that is second in defensive efficiency behind only Loyola-Chicago.
Southern Illinois is 37-17-1 ATS last 55 times they have played a team with a losing record and have covered 7 of their last 8 on the road against a team with a losing record. Evansville is 1-8 ATS last 9 as a dog and 1-11 ATS last 12 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games (I really think the poor road record for the Salukis is the only reason this line isn't more). Give me Southern Illinois -3!

NCAA-B | Florida Atlantic vs Florida International
Play on: Florida Atlantic +3 +100 at Pinnacle
$$ Hump day Featured Free Play $$
The NCAAB Comp Play is on Florida Atlantic plus the 3-4 points at 7:00 eastern. FAU has conference tournament knock out revenge on Florida International and has covered the last 3 here. The Owls have covered in 7 of 8 vs a team that is .600 or better and 6 of 8 off a win. Florida International has failed to cover 5 of 7 off a spread win and the favorite has failed to cover 4 of the last 5 and the home team is a dismal 1-5 to the spread. We will back the dog in this Conference USA Rivalry game. . For the NCAAB Free play. Take the 3-4 points with Florida Atlantic. Rob V- GC Sports

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Rangers
Play on: OVER 7 +114
The set-up: The Leafs will be looking to bounce back here in The Big Apple after a listless 5-3 setback at home to Florida on Monday. I had a free pick on the "over" in that one and while that contest started slowly, it sure picked up late (and cashed!) I once again feel that the Leafs are going to be in a higher-scoring affair on Wednesday. The last time these team's met the Rangers scored the 5-4 victory on December 28th. All signs point to a similar final combined score here as well in my opinion. New York beat the Red Wings in back-to-back games, but it came back down to Earth in a 5-3 setback to the Stars on Monday.
The pick: Note that Toronto has seen the total go over the number in seven of its last 11 road games following a two-goals or larger home loss in its previous outing, while New York has seen the total eclipse the posted number in 11 of its last 18 home games after a two goals or larger home loss. Consider the "over" in this one on Wednesday night.
1* FREE PLAY on the OVER Leafs/Rangers.

NCAA-B | Wisconsin vs Minnesota
Play on: Minnesota -3 -110 at Pinnacle
Wednesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Wisconsin at 9 pm et on Wednesday.
This looks like a letdown spot for Wisconsin after it upset Michigan State 64-63 this past Saturday. Keep in mind, that was the Badgers first win in their last three games. Not surprisingly, their last two losses came on the road, where they've struggled this season winning just three of eight games. Minnesota has been scuffing its heels lately, dropping three of its last four games. Of course those three losses came against Rutgers, Michigan State and Illinois - three teams that own a combined 48-20 record this season. Minnesota does own a solid home court edge, having won nine of 11 games here at Williams Arena this season. With their next two games coming against ranked opponents, the Golden Gophers will bring their best effort here as they look to regain their footing (and gain some ground) in the Big Ten. Take Minnesota (8*).
