NCAA-B | Louisville vs Miami-FL
Play on: Louisville +3½ -105 at BMaker
I'm recommending a play on Louisville plus the points on Wednesday. Louisville has bounced back from its debacle at Kentucky and since won five of six games, including road games at Florida State and Notre Dame. The Cardinals held their last two opponents, Boston College and Notre Dame, to a combined 19-of-67 from 3-point range. Louisville is led by Deng Adel, who is averaging 16.8 points and eight rebounds in conference play while shooting 54.4 percent. Miami has lost three of its last five games that included some awful offensive numbers including 37.5 percent shooting against Georgia Tech, 38.1 against Clemson and 37.2 versus Duke. The Hurricanes are 7-15 ATS their last 22 home games and 4-13 ATS after an ATS win. Louisville is on a 5-1 ATS run and holding opponents to a .386 shooting percentage. Amazingly, this is Miami's only third lined true home game as its early non-conference schedule was filled with non-board schools. We like the underdog here and we recommending taking the points with Louisville on Wednesday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

NCAA-B | Nebraska vs Rutgers
Play on: Rutgers +1 -106 at 5Dimes
Free Pick on Rutgers +
I like the value here here with the Scarlet Knights at basically a pick'em at home against Nebraska. While Rutgers is just 2-6 in Big Ten play, they have been a lot more competitive than just about everyone expected. They are 2-2 at home in league play with the only two losses coming against two of the best teams in Michigan State and Ohio State.
While the Cornhuskers have been playing well, I think they are going to struggle here. Nebraska will be playing their second straight on the road in just a 3-day span as they just played at Ohio State on Monday and this their longest road trip inside the conference. Cornhuskers are just 3-7 away from home this season with a mere 1-6 record in true road games.
The home team has covered 4 of the last 5 meetings and the Scarlet Knights are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record. Take Rutgers!

NCAA-B | Nebraska vs Rutgers
Play on: Nebraska -1 -105 at 5Dimes
Play - Nebraska (Game 735).
Edges - Cornhuskers: 5-1 SUATS this series; and 6-2 ATS with revenge this season… Knights: 0-4 SUATS after Michigan, and 0-6 SUATS before Penn State. With the Huskers off a loss, look for them to avenge last year’s loss to Rutgers here tonight. We recommend a 1* play on Nebraska. Thank you and good luck as always.

NCAA-B | Evansville vs Valparaiso
Play on: Valparaiso -3½ -105 at 5Dimes
Evansville vs Valparaiso Free Pick January 24, 2018
It's been tough sledding for the Valparaiso Crusaders in their first season in the Missouri Valley Conference. They have lost six of eight games in conference play, and they are coming off a 70-54 home loss to conference leaders Loyola-Chicago. Tonight's home game against the Evansville Aces looks like a good spot for the Crusaders to get back on track, as the Aces are just 1-6 on the road this season. Evansville comes in averaging just 63.2 points over it's last five games, and 61.4 points per game on the road. Their last game was a 66-53 loss at Bradley, and they shot just 31.6 percent from the field. Dating back to the beginning of last season, Valparaiso has won 22 of it's last 26 home games. Granted this year's team isn't as good as the team that was tied for first in the Horizon League last year, this still looks like a "get right game" at home versus one of the bottom feeders of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Take VALPO.
GL,
Jesse Schule

NBA (711) SAN ANTONIO SPURS VS (712) MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Take: UNDER
Reason: Your free play for Wednesday, January 24, 2018 is in the NBA scheduled contest between the San Antonio Spurs and the Memphis Grizzlies. I am playing the UNDER here tonight. Both of these teams are under teams, with the Spurs going 18-30 O/U on the season and the Grizzlies at 19-26-1 O/U. The Spurs are also 7-19 O/U in their last 26 games. Memphis is 2-9-1 O/U in their last 12 vs the Southwest division. Plus, the Spurs are coming off that big win over the Cavs last night and playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back spot here tonight. While last night's game went over for the Spurs, they had gone under in their previous six games. Good spot here for a Spurs letdown and this game goes UNDER.
