Ben Burns Mar 11 '17, 4:00 PM NCAA-B | Yale vs Harvard Play on: Yale +2½ -110 at BMaker Harvard won both regular season meetings fairly convincingly. However, I believe the Bulldogs could well present a problem. Harvard checks in off back-to-back tough, potentially deflating, losses. Yale comes in full of positive momentum, off three straight victories. Don't be surprised if Yale's tougher non-conference schedule, which included games against the likes of Virginia, Pittsburgh, Washington and Vermont, pays dividends. Consider grabbing the points.

Ray Monohan Mar 11 '17, 7:05 PM NHL | Maple Leafs vs Hurricanes Play on: Maple Leafs +101 at betonline Toronto +101 The Maple Leafs are far more consistent than Carolina and they're a solid move here on Saturday. Toronto is just more threatening offensively. The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.03 goals per game and have plenty of youth on their side which gives them a lot of speed to play with. Carolina has gone just 3-10 over their last 13, as they are really reeling at the moment. Some trends to note. Road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. At basically a PK price, the Maple Leafs are worth a chance, especially given how bad the Hurricanes have played lately. Back Toronto ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

DAVE COKIN ALCORN ST VS TEXAS SOUTHERN PLAY: ALCORN ST No number available on this game as I’m writing this, but I’m figuring that it shows at roughly -6. Regardless of what the price is, it’s one of the most peculiar conference title game setups you’ll see. Texas Southern has already punched its ticket as the SWAC entry in this year’s NCAA Tournament. The Tigers clinched the bid on Friday when Alcorn State knocked off Southern, rendering this title game meaningless as far as the Big Dance is concerned. If that’s confusing, I’ll clear it up. Alcorn State is ineligible for the NCAA Tournament due to poor APR scores. I have no idea why the SWAC decided it was okay for the Braves to remain eligible for the conference tournament, but that’s not my concern. So now we have a really bizarre scenario. Texas Southern can actually not show up for this game and they’re still going to the main event next week. Alcorn State will put the equipment away till next season regardless of what happens here. I have to look at this as a situational advantage for the Braves. They can draw immense satisfaction from winning the conference tournament. I’m sure Texas Southern would also like to win, but one has to wonder about their focus when factoring in the circumstances. The two regular season battles between these teams were each thriller. Texas Southern opened SWAC play back in early January by scoring a 67-65 win at Alcorn State. That one was close all the way. The rematch was only nine days ago, and that one went to overtime with the Tigers again prevailing. It seems clear to me that while Texas Southern is the better team by a decent margin, the Braves can match up with them. Add in the unique scenario and I like the chances of the dog getting to the winner’s circle. Note I factored in the conditions when making my line on this game, as it actually power rates more like 6. In any case, I’ll be looking to take the points here with Alcorn State.

Scott Rickenbach Mar 11 '17, 9:05 PM NBA | Suns vs Mavs Play on: Mavs -6 -110 at 5Dimes This is the latest game out of 3 Picks in NBA Saturday for Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach who went 3-0 with March Madness sides Friday but had a rare tough day in the pros after a 2-0 NBA SWEEP Thursday. Though his hockey has hit a rare bad streak, his RED HOT hoops run is now 42-24 (64%) with all picks the last 13 days! He's ready for a HUGE Saturday and the pick below in NBA is a Free Pick but the other 2 are BOTH star rated picks. Scott also has 4 star rated picks going in CBB Saturday plus 3 star rated picks in NHL Saturday. Rickenbach ranks as the #1 ALL SPORTS LEADER for cumulative net profits in 2017 on multiple networks! The Bulldog has an all sports streak (star rated picks) going of 175-124 (+$48,820) long-term! Don't miss a HUGE Saturday! He's on a 55-28 RUN with all NBA picks, a 79-49 run in CBB, and a 65-47 +$24,810 NHL run. Free Pick - Rickenbach NBA Game #718 Saturday Dallas Mavericks (-) vs Phoenix Suns @ 9:05 ET -The Mavericks have won 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 as they continue to make a playoff push. That said, even though this is a back to back spot, the fact that they are at home plus had 2 days off prior to this back to back set plus are highly motivated by making a run at the playoffs all adds up to mean great line value here. The Mavs are laying a reasonable number against a Phoenix team that has lost back to back games and 15 of their last 21. Also, the Suns are 9-20 (SU and ATS) the last 3 seasons combined when they enter a game having played each of their three prior games at home. That said, this is not an easy road spot for Phoenix and the Suns are an ugly 4-11 ATS against Southwest Division opponents this season. Dallas is a fantastic 11-1 SU (and 10-2 ATS) as a favorite this season. Also, the Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against teams that allow an average of 106 points or more per game. Free Pick on Dallas minus the points Saturday. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

John Martin Mar 11 '17, 3:35 PM in 3h NBA | 76ers vs Clippers Play on: 76ers +13½ -110 at betonline 1 Unit Bonus Play on Philadelphia 76ers +13.5 The Philadelphia 76ers continue to get no respect from the books as 13.5-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Clippers this afternoon. All they've done all season is cover spreads at a tremendous rate, including a 10-3 ATS run in their last 13 games overall. The Clippers are just 4-5 SU & 4-5 ATS since the All-Star Break and shouldn't be this heavily favored today. The 76ers are 7-0 ATS in their last seven against a team with a winning record. Philly is 5-1 ATS in its last six road games.

Mike Anthony Philadelphia vs. Los Angeles Play: Los Angeles -11.5 The Clippers defense will stop the Sixers on too many possessions, and that isn't that hard when you're struggling with scoring, like Philly, as they are putting up only 102/ game - the Clippers frontcourt can cause a lot of contact in the paint - they aren't afraid of contact, and for the Sixers, this will be a problem. Chris Paul has been excellent with his shooting, in particular, and Paul will do it again. Philadelphia doesn't play with enough aggression, and the Clips gives a lot of switched and disguised off screen looks, which will be hard for the frontcourt of Philadelphia to deal with. Philadelphia haven't stopped anyone from scoring very well, especially in the last two weeks, in particular - this wont change here. L.A. Clippers win by 16 or more here.

Brandon Lee Mar 11 '17, 8:05 PM in 8h NBA | Wolves vs Bucks Play on: Bucks -2 -108 at 5Dimes 10* Free NCAAB Pick (Bucks -2) Milwaukee is worth a look here as a short home favorite against the Wolves. Both of these teams will be playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set, but it will be much easier for the Bucks to bounce back than Minnesota. Milwaukee didn't have to travel, as they hosted and beat the Pacers 99-85 last night. As for the Wolves, they hosted the Warriors and that comes after games against the Jazz, Spurs and Clippers. This is the definition of a flat spot for Minnesota and I think this one could end up being a bit of a blowout. Give me the Bucks -2!

MMA OddsBreaker Alex Oliveira v Tim Means Pick: Alex Oliveira +190 I pick Means to win but can't ignore the betting value Oliveira has at the current price. I can see this rematch playing out for three rounds, where I think the Brazilian could pull out a decision, but a late finish would not be surprising, either. At the current odds, I do believe we are looking at a dog or pass situation, and I am going to have to side with the dog here.

Mike Lundin Mar 11 '17, 10:05 PM in 10h NBA | Wizards vs Blazers Play on: Blazers -155 at 5Dimes #NBA Free Pick from Mike Lundin Play: Portland ML Rating: 5/10* Super tough spot for the Washington Wizards as they forced a late rally in an OT win at Sacramento last night, and this will be their fourth game in five nights. The Portland Trail Blazers meanwhile have had a day off since beating Philly 114-108 in OT on Thursday, and they're coming into the game riding a four-game winning streak. The Trail Blazers will be looking to avenge a 120-101 loss at Portland back in January and they've won nine of the past 11 home games against the Wizards while going 8-3 ATS. Let's put a couple of units at work on the home team to win this game.

Tony George Mar 11 '17, 1:00 PM in 1h NCAA-B | Michigan vs Minnesota Play on: Minnesota +3½ -101 at 5dimes Big 10 Bonus Play Tony George Sports Minnesota +3.5 vs Michigan Well all storybook fairy tales come to an end. Michigan went from a plane crash, to playing in practice jersey's to winning 2 games in a row but Minnesota will not succumb to the Cinderella dream today., Minnesota a damn good team, well coached, extremely disciplined and play great defense. They also run the pace and knock down free throws. Cannot ignore the run Michigan is on, but it ends today as I see a LIVE dog here and the hook over the 3 is worth the stretch for a Bonus Play. Free Lean on Minnesota +3.5

Jimmy Boyd Mar 11 '17, 9:00 PM in 9h NCAA-B | Duke vs Notre Dame Play on: Duke -3 -110 at BetOnline Free Pick on Duke - This Blue Devils team is finally starting to play up to their potential. I know this is going to be their 4th game in 4 nights, but this team is playing with a ton of confidence and momentum that I believe is going to propel them to the ACC title. Keep in mind that Duke hasn't even played their best game yet, as they have trailed in the 2nd half by double-digits in each of their last two wins over Louisville and North Carolina. I also don't think this is a great matchup for Notre Dame. Keep in mind they lost at home to Duke by 10 points earlier this season. The scary thing for the Irish is they held the Blue Devils to just 5 made 3-pointers. I look for Notre Dame to have a difficult time keeping the Blue Devils offense in check here. Take Duke!

Dave Essler Minnesota +3.5 Yesterday people were lining up to fade Michigan assuming perhaps that the plane/travel incident might catch up with them, or that Purdue was just better. That's actually today's issue. It's the Wolverines third game, the Gophers' second. Minnesota spends far more time at the FT line and has a far better defense.
