KEY STAT: Napoli are unbeaten in their last nine home fixtures

EXPERT VERDICT: Napoli are the top scorers in Serie A with 47 goals and should possess too much firepower for Fiorentina in their Coppa Italia quarter-final. Maurizio Sarri's side have won eight of their last nine games in all competitions and are just four points behind Serie A leaders Juventus. They are superior to the Viola, who have lost three of their last four domestic away games.

RECOMMENDATION: Napoli
2

KEY STAT: Bordeaux have lost just two of their last ten home matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Paris St-Germain have won the Coupe de la Ligue for the past three season but they may be taken to penalties in their semi-final clash with Bordeaux. Five successive wins has restored PSG's confidence but they have an important league game at home to Monaco on Sunday and any drop off from their usual standards could be dangerous against a Bordeaux side on a five-game unbeaten run themselves.

RECOMMENDATION: Draw
1

KEY STAT: Juventus have won ten of their last 13 matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Juventus needed extra-time to defeat Milan 1-0 in last season's Coppa Italia final but can overcome the Rossoneri in regulation time in their quarter-final rematch in Turin. The title race looks like being closely-fought but Juve have been top since September and remain the best team in Italy. Milan's only realistic hope of major silverware is the Coppa Italia but they couldn't have landed a tougher draw.

RECOMMENDATION: Juventus
1

KEY STAT: Liverpool have won one of their last five matches against Southampton

EXPERT VERDICT: Southampton head to Anfield with a 1-0 advantage and this semi-final second leg should be a close encounter. Saints are a solid side who are going to make life difficult for the Merseysiders but the extra quality of the hosts could prove telling as the match goes on.

RECOMMENDATION: Draw-Liverpool double result

KEY STAT: Monaco have kept clean sheets in four of their last seven home matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Monaco are battling for silverware on four fronts and can reach their first final of the season by defeating Nancy in the Coupe de la Ligue semi-finals. Leonardo Jardim's side have been outstanding in the French league – topping the table by two points and scoring 64 goals (an average of 3.05 per game). Their strength is in attack but a clean sheet is on the cards against Nancy, who have scored just ten away goals this season.

RECOMMENDATION: Monaco to win 2-0

KEY STAT: Man Utd are unbeaten in their last 17 matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Manchester United are in firm control of this semi-final after winning the first leg 2-0 and Hull are unlikely to produce the comeback which will stop Jose Mourinho from taking the Red Devils to Wembley. Wayne Rooney will be buzzing after breaking United's goalscoring record and can set United on their way with the opener.

RECOMMENDATION: W Rooney first goalscorer

Bonus Play Tuesday

The Monday Bonus Play was my Super Bowl selection, so no result on that one for a couple weeks. Back to college basketball for the Tuesday comp.

721 BOWLING GREEN @ 722 CENTRAL MICHIGAN 7:00 PM

Take: BOWLING GREEN +6.5

Now that we’re into the later stages of January and a good number of conference games are already in the archives, I can start playing one of my favorite angles.

There’s really not much more than some common sense involved here. I like the idea of identifying mediocre teams who are giving more than two possessions, and siding with the underdog. The logic here is pretty simple. Bad teams don’t do very well when it comes to getting straight up wins, let alone doing so by enough to cover a good sized spread.

The fly in the ointment is that one has to also be willing to be wagering on teams that might be even worse. Obviously, if Team A is lousy and is spotting three possessions to Team B, then it follows that Team B is likely pretty terrible. Nevertheless, this is a theory I’ve had fun with for several years and it’s in play in this game.

Bowling Green is not good. The Falcons are a lower level MAC team, so there’s not much in the way of positives to bestow on this squad. But if Central Michigan is the better team in this matchup, it’s not by a big margin. Tonight’s game between the Falcons and Chippewas figures to be fast-paced and the home team will be hoisting threes from start to finish. If CMU has a big night fro beyond the arc, they probably win this big. The Chips are also nails from the foul line, so there’s always the chance they could extend a late lead.

But for me, the bottom line is catching more than two possessions against a team that isn’t really deserving of giving this many points. I’ll take the points with Bowling Green.

Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Tuesday, January 24, 2017 CB

(755) UTAH STATE VS (756) NEW MEXICO

Take: Over the total

Reason: Your free pick for Tuesday, January 24, 2017 comes in college hoops as Utah State heads to New Mexico for a basketball battle. Utah State is having trouble on defense, allowing 74 and 95 points in two of its last three games. The Aggies are 28-9 over the total in Mountain West play. New Mexico is home, where the offense clicks best, and the over is 11-5 in Lobos last 16 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. And the over is 4-1 when these rivals clash. Play Utah State/New Mexico Over the total.

Blues vs Penguins

8* NHL Bonus Play OVER

This is the first time we've seen a posted total of six in this matchup since October of 2009, but the relatively high number is warranted in my opinion.

The Blues can't keep the puck out of their net right now, having allowed a whopping 18 goals during their three-game losing streak.

The Penguins are obviously primed to take full advantage, having scored 24 goals during their four-game winning streak.

Note that the Blues are giving up 3.5 goals per game on the road this season while the Pens have put up a whopping 4.1 goals per contest at home.

Last year's two meetings in this series each produced an identical seven goals. Expect a similar story to unfold at PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday. Take the over (8*).

Flames vs Canadiens

Bonus Play Montreal Canadiens

The Flames are struggling right now and are off a loss at Toronto last night. Thats noteworthy as they're just 3-6 when playing the second of b2b games, 1-6 when doing so on the road. That includes an 0-5 mark the last five times that they played on the road, after playing the previous day. With the Canadiens, who are 16-8 at home, off two day's rest, consider "laying the wood."
