4* VEGAS INSIDER on Western Michigan +105 Western Michigan is the play here because the market is completely disrespecting home-court advantage in this rivalry. The Broncos are catching plus money at University Arena despite playing their most consistent basketball of the season right now. Eastern Michigan comes into this game with serious road woes that have not been fixed. The Eagles are turning the ball over on nearly 20% of their possessions when they leave their home floor. Western Michigans defense thrives on those mistakes and ranks near the top of the MAC in points off turnovers. The Broncos have a significant edge in effective field goal percentage in this matchup. They are consistently finding high-quality looks inside while the Eagles rely far too much on contested jumpers. Eastern Michigans perimeter defense has been leaky and they are giving up way too many open looks from the arc. Western Michigan is shooting nearly 38% from deep over their last three home contests. The crowd in Kalamazoo will be a major factor in a game that should be tight until the final four minutes. Western Michigan has also covered the spread in four of their last five games when playing as a home underdog. This is a massive revenge spot for the Broncos after dropping a close one to the Eagles earlier in the year. They have the more physical presence in the paint and will win the battle on the boards tonight. I expect the Broncos to control the tempo and force the Eagles into a slow half-court game they cannot win. The value is all on the home side in a game that should be priced as a pick'em at the very least. Bet Western Michigan ML (+105). |

3* HEAVY HITTER on Western Carolina/The Citadel: under 148½ This total is sitting too high for a Saturday afternoon clash between two teams that struggle to find any offensive rhythm. The Citadel has completely slowed things down this season and currently ranks near the very bottom of the country in adjusted tempo. Coach Ed Conroy is forcing this team to work deep into the shot clock on almost every single possession. That slow pace is a death sentence for an Over when you realize how poorly the Bulldogs are shooting the ball right now. The Citadel is averaging a pathetic 65.4 points per game over their last ten starts. They are hitting just 41.9 percent of their shots from the floor during this current six-game losing streak. Braxton Williams is their main scoring threat, but he does not have enough help around him to sustain a track meet. Western Carolina is dealing with their own efficiency issues and the recent loss of frontcourt depth. The absence of Chase McKey has limited the Catamounts' ability to generate easy high-percentage looks in the paint. Western Carolina often sees their shooting numbers crater when they have to play away from home in a hostile environment. Southern Conference games in January usually turn into physical half-court battles where every bucket is earned. Neither team wants to get caught in transition or give up easy points while they are desperate to snap losing slides. The Citadel has stayed Under the total in the majority of their home games because they simply lack explosive firepower. Expect a lot of long possessions and contested jumpers that keep the clock moving without much scoring. The line is giving far too much credit to two offenses that are currently stuck in the mud. This game should land in the low 140s at best, giving us plenty of cushion on the current number. I like the Under 148.5. |

1* Free Pick on Packers -1½ The Edge: Jordan Love is back under center and that is bad news for Chicago. Love cleared concussion protocol and rested in Week 18, so he is fresh and fully healthy for this playoff opener. He has already dissected this Bears defense once this season, throwing for three touchdowns in their December meeting. The Packers have a massive mental advantage in this rivalry. Green Bay has won 10 straight games against the Bears and knows exactly how to win at Soldier Field. Chicago is missing star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, which leaves a huge hole in the middle of their secondary that Love will exploit. The Matchup: The Bears are getting Rome Odunze back, but expect some rust after he missed the last five games with a foot injury. Caleb Williams is making his playoff debut against a Green Bay pass rush that has been relentless lately. Even with the loss of Micah Parsons to an Achilles injury, the Packers' front four still generates pressure at a top-ten rate. Green Bays offensive line is the healthier unit heading into Saturday night. Right tackle Zach Tom is a game-time decision, but the Packers have shown they can protect Love regardless of who is in the lineup. The Bears' defense ranks 23rd in points allowed and they will struggle to stop a Packers offense that ranks top-five in EPA per play since December. The Trend: The betting trends in this series are completely one-sided. Green Bay is 5-0 against the spread in their last five trips to Chicago. They are also 9-2 ATS against NFC North opponents over the last two seasons. Chicago has been a solid home team, but they have struggled to cover as short favorites against high-powered offenses. The Packers are 4-1 ATS as road underdogs or short favorites this year. The wrong team is favored here based on the history and the current health of Jordan Love. Bet Packers -1.5. |

5* NO BRAINER on Packers/Bears: under 46½ The Packers and Bears, two of the NFL's oldest rivals, face off in a Wild Card matchup, but the smart money is on a low-scoring affair. The value lies in betting the Under 46.5 (-110) because both teams have demonstrated a propensity for tight, defensive battles, and the high stakes of a playoff game will only amplify this tendency. Here's why the Under is the sharp play: 1. **Recent History:** The last time these two teams played, just thirteen days ago, the final score was 22-16 in overtime, totaling only 38 points. Even though the teams split their regular-season series, this recent result suggests a lower-scoring trend. The Packers lead the all-time series 109-97-6, but the Bears won their most recent contest. This rivalry is always intense, and with the Bears clinching their first division title in seven years, they'll be hungry to defend their home turf. The Packers are 2-9 ATS in their past 11 road games against the Bears, who are 10-5 ATS in their past 15 games overall. This game will be a hard-fought, physical battle, and points will be at a premium. Bet the Under 46.5 (-110). |
