Play on: Davidson -10½ -105 at betonline
Davidson -10.5
This play just missed out on our premium card. The Davidson Wildcats and the St. Joes Hawks face off on Friday night and in this game the value lies with the Wildcats.
The key stat to look at in this game is how each defense has performed over the last five games. For the Wildcats they are giving up 59 points per game over the last five games while St. Joes is giving up 71.4 points.
The Wildcats are going to shut down the Hawks offense in this game and that will be enough to come out with a big victory and cover.
Back the Hawks

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Davidson -10)
I'll take my chances here with the Wildcats turning this into a blowout and winning by more than 10 points. I think a lot of people will be tempted to take St. Joe's for the simple fact that the Hawks upset Davidson on their home floor 61-60 back in January. I think if anything that will just add more fuel to the fire for the Wildcats, who are without a doubt superior team.
What people overlook with that loss to the Hawks is that was a massive letdown spot for Davidson, as they had just won at George Mason and at home against VCU, who are two of the top teams in the Atlantic 10. It's also worth noting that all 4 of St. Joe's conference wins have come at home. They are 0-5 on the road with 4 of the 5 losses coming by 11 or more points. Wildcats are a perfect 11-0 at home and last year when they hosted the Hawks they won 91-62 as a very similarly priced 10.5-point favorite. Give me Davidson -10!

NHL | Bruins vs Ducks
Play on: UNDER 5½ -120
I’m playing on the under Bruins/Ducks (FREE PLAY). Boston has won five of its last six. The Bruins have been grinding out the wins, averaging 2.9 goals and allowing 2.6. The Bruins will be wary to not take the wounded Ducks lightly here (note that Boston has allowed three or less goals in seven of its last ten), who broke a seven game slide with a 1-0 win over Vancouver on Wednesday. Whether or not a “new” coach can be the catalyst for the Ducks to really start turning things around is yet to be seen, but there’s no doubt that the latest results were a big step in the right direction. Anaheim averages 2.2 goals and it allows 3.2. Note though that Boston’s already seen the total go under the number in seven of ten road games this year when the total is set at 5.5 and in eight of 12 when playing with two days rest. And it’s not surprising to learn that the low-scoring Ducks have seen the total go under in 21 of 27 non-conference games this season. Consider the under.

This is the ideal spot to jump on Fairfield as a road dog against the Golden Griffins. Most will be looking to fade Fairfield given they come in off back-to-back double-digit losses and already lost to Canisius at home earlier this season.
However, all of that sets up a massive long-term system. Road underdogs who coming off back-to-back conference losses by 10 or more and revenging a loss as a favorite are a dominant 44-15 (75%) ATS over the last 5 seasons.
On top of that, we see that the Golden Griffins are a mere 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games, including a 1-7 ATS mark in their last 8 at home vs a team with a losing road record. Canisius is also just 8-22 ATS last 30 games at home when coming off a conference road win. Take Fairfield!

NCAA-B | Dartmouth vs Pennsylvania
Play on: Pennsylvania -7½ -110 at pinnacle
Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Pennsylvania -7.5
I like the spot for Pennsylvania tonight. The Quakers have played four straight road games coming in and will be very happy to be back home on Friday night to host Dartmouth.
The Quakers are 6-2 SU & 5-2 ATS at home this season, outscoring their opponents by 13.7 points per game. I think this is a short number for them to be laying against a Dartmouth team that is 2-6 SU in true road games and losing by 8.7 points per game.
The home team has won eight of the last 10 meetings. Pennsylvania is 18-3 SU in its last 21 home meetings with Dartmouth, including a 74-46 home win last year as 12.5-point favorites. The home team is also 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Bet Pennsylvania Friday.

NHL | Rangers vs Sabres
Play on: Rangers +140 at 5Dimes
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Friday Free Pick New York Rangers Money Line (+) @ Buffalo Sabres @ 7:05 ET - The Rangers are expected to start Alexandar Georgiev in between the pipes and that is one of two keys to the value with this money line underdog. While Henrik Lundqvist has been struggling between the pipes for New York, the Rangers are 2-0 in the last two starts Georgiev has made. Also, he has had just one bad start in his last 5 starts. In those 4 solid starts he has allowed a total of only 6 goals! The Rangers are 3-1 in their last 4 road games and are catching the Sabres at the right time for an upset. Buffalo has been very up and down for two months now. Buffalo enters this game off a win but that means a loss is quite likely here. Why? Because the Sabres, dating back to December 15th (a span of two months) have not won back to back games a single time! In fact, dating back to late November, the Sabres have had just one winning streak (if you can call it that) as they won 2 in a row with victories on the 11th and 13th of December. Buffalo is 8-21 long-term on Fridays (including 2-5 this season). Also, the Sabres are 11-30 long-term (including 4-8 this season) when off a win by a margin of 2 goals or more. You can see why there is great value with a road dog riding a hot goalie in this one! Free Pick NEW YORK RANGERS

Comp play winner for Friday goes out on Davidson minus the points against St. Joe's.
The Hawks stunned the Wildcats back on January 15th in Philadelphia, 61-60 as the +4 1/2 point home dog to snap a Davidson 3 game series win and cover streak.
Can Joey's do it again on the road?
Highly doubtful, as the Hawks are only 2-10 straight up and 4-8 against the spread away from home for the season.
The Wildcats have played their last pair of games, and 4 of their last 5 on the Atlantic Ten road. At home Bob McKillop's team is a perfect 11-0 straight up, and they have covered in 7 of their 10 lined home dates this season.
At the end of the day Davidson simply has too many more scoring options - Grady, Brajkovic, Frampton, Gudmundsson all in double-figures in the Wildcats last game - for this Hawks team that has not been the same since losing Lamarr Kimble to a hand injury earlier this year.
Revenge time this Friday for the home-loving Wildcats.
Davidson laying double-digits tonight? Lay away!
3* DAVIDSON

Your comp play for Friday slim board comes on the ice, as I will take the slumping - but rested - Minnesota Wild on the Puck Line to dispatch the unrested New Jersey Devils at the Target Center.
New Jersey just skated last night at Chicago, and the Devils saw a close 2-2 game balloon to a 2-5 loss against the Blackhawks. Now the Devils must go against a Wild team that just beat them earlier this month, as New Jersey stands at 1-4-1 their last 6 games.
Minnesota entered the All-Star break riding a 3-game winning streak, but things have not gone according to plan since coming out of the break, as Minny has skidded to a 1-4-2 mark. That one win as mentioned was their 4-2 victory on Jersey ice back on February 9th.
The Wild are currently in a dog-fight for the second Wild Card spot, and their 1-4-2 slide sure has not helped their cause!
Tonight should be a different result, as they just controlled New Jersey a week ago, and the Devils are in the always-tough spot of playing back-to-back in a different city against a rested opponent.
I will back the Wild on the Puck Line in this one to get the win they desperately need.
2* MINNESOTA -1 1/2 GOALS
