AWHWALALHDHW*​ Most recent​	1 - 0 1 - 1 1 - 0 1 - 1	AWHWHLALHDAW*​ Most recent​

KEY STAT: Sixteen of Lille's 21 points home come at home

EXPERT VERDICT: Lille's home form is keeping them afloat and they will be eyeing another three points against St-Etienne. The Greens have lost their last two league away games and are the worst performing team in the first half of Ligue 1 matches, so the hosts could strike early.

RECOMMENDATION: Lille-Lille double result

KEY STAT: Spurs have won five consecutive league matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Tottenham remain unbeaten at White Hart Lane and can prove their impressive win over league leaders Chelsea was no flash in the pan by making short work of West Brom. The Baggies are enjoying an excellent season, but have yet to beat any side above them and Spurs may prove a class apart from the opening whistle.

RECOMMENDATION: Tottenham-Tottenham double result

KEY STAT: Hull haven’t won any of their last nine league games

EXPERT VERDICT: Mike Phelan’s tenure as Hull manager came to an end last week but new man Marco Silva will struggle to do any better in the Premier League with the Tigers’ limited resources. However, Bournemouth, thrashed in the FA Cup by Millwall, let a three-goal lead slip against Arsenal in their last league outing and the Cherries’ confidence may have been dented.

RECOMMENDATION: Draw

KEY STAT: Sunderland have lost one of their last six at home

EXPERT VERDICT: Sunderland have picked up ten points from their last five home games and another dramatic relegation escape could be in the offing on Wearside. The Black Cats will be confident of claiming a positive result against a Stoke side who have won just one of their last six league matches and were dumped out of the FA Cup by Wolves.

RECOMMENDATION: Sunderland

ALALHWHWALAD​ Most recent​	1 - 0 1 - 1 3 - 2 2 - 3	AWHLHLALADHW​ Most recent​

KEY STAT: Burnley have lost just three of their 11 home league games

EXPERT VERDICT: Southampton are on a run of three consecutive league defeats and Burnley could condemn them to a fourth loss at Turf Moor. The Clarets’ have picked up 22 of their 23 points on their own patch and continue to be underrated by bookmakers, while tired Southampton’s away form is far from solid.

RECOMMENDATION: Burnley

KEY STAT: Alexis Sanchez has scored 13 league goals this season

EXPERT VERDICT: Swansea’s decision to part company with Bob Bradley was rewarded when they beat Crystal Palace last week, but Arsenal will provide the Welsh club with a far tougher test. The Gunners have no problems scoring goals and Alexis Sanchez could prove to be the Swans’ tormentor in chief.

RECOMMENDATION: A Sanchez first goalscorer

Bonus Play Thursday

Tonight’s Bonus Play is a college basketball game that’s well under the radar. But I think it’s a decent spot and the marquee appeal has never mattered to me anyway.

583 TENNESSEE STATE at 584 EASTERN KENTUCKY 7:00 PM

Take: TENNESSEE STATE -4.5

I’m not going to go into detail to any extent on this matchup. For me, this is a coaching mismatch where I think the distinct advantage goes to the visiting side.

Dana Ford has transformed what was a terrible Tennessee State program into one that might well now be the #2 team in the OVC. Ford is already establishing himself as a star on the rise, and I have a feeling he might be fielding offers for a bigger job this spring.

Dan McHale is not enjoying that level of success at Eastern Kentucky. McHale took over the Colonels when Jeff Neubauer left to take over at Fordham. It’s not going well at all. This program had won 70 games in a three-year span under Neubauer. They declined last season and the downhill trend has accelerated this year.

McHale is a Rick Pitino disciple and wants to play that style, but he doesn’t have the horses to work that system and the team is simply getting worse. Opponents are shredding the Eastern Kentucky for easy looks and makes. Don’t take my word for it, look at the numbers. Opponent possessions are taking very little time and the success rate on those possessions is higher than acceptable for a team that wants to win games.

Eastern Kentucky has had a couple of nice wins, including one against a good Marshall team. But the bad is outweighing the good and if this boils down to a battle of sideline wits, I’ve got to side with Ford. Tennessee State is my preference in this game.

Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Thursday, January 12, 2017 NBA

(507) LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS (508) SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Take: UNDER THE TOTAL

Reason: Your free pick for Thursday, January 12, 2017 comes in the NBA as the Lakers head to the San Antonio to face the Spurs. young Los Angeles is not a strong offensive team, #18 in the NBA in scoring, #19 in shooting. The Under is 22-10 in Lakers last 32 games following a double-digit loss at home. They face a powerhouse San Antonio defense that is second in the league in points allowed. And when these teams clash the Under is 19-8 in the last 27 meetings in San Antonio. Play Lakers/Spurs Under the total.

Western Kentucky vs UAB

Bonus Play UAB

I successfully backed the Blazers in their last game, an outright win at Rice. At the time, I noted that I liked the manner in which they'd come back to beat North Texas in their previous game. Off back-to-back victories, I expect the Blazers to carry the positive momentum into this evening's game. On the other hand, the Hilltoppers saw their own forward progress come to a halt last time out, a potentially deflating 12-point loss against ODU. With WKU averaging 63.7 ppg on the road and UAB averaging 78.9 at home, consider laying the points with the home team.

Northern Kentucky vs Wisc-Milwaukee

Bonus Play Wisc-Milwaukee

I'm recommending a play on Milwaukee plus the points on Thursday night. Tough start to the season for the Panthers, but they're deep and they're covering point-spreads. Ultimately, that's all we really care about. Milwaukee has dropped six straight games, but they covered four of the six and they're on a 6-3 ATS run in their last nine, overall. In fact, the Panthers are just nine total points away from a 3-3 SU record in those six outings. Five of their last eight losses have come by six or fewer points. Milwaukee owns the type of tempo to slow things down making the Norse uncomfortable on the road. Northern Kentucky lost three of their last four road games and in all three losses their opponents slammed the door on the defensive end. The Panthers are on a 19-7-2 ATS run when getting points and I recommend taking the points with Milwaukee on Thursday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
