4-Unit Play. #070. Take Anaheim over Carolina (Friday at 10:00 pm) As per your selection on the Anaheim Ducks, we are really liking what they are doing over there as the Ducks are now 5-2 on the season and have played some excellent defense so far this season. The Ducks come in off a solid 5-2 home win vs Buffalo and should get up for the 6-2 Hurricanes with no extra motivation required. The Ducks own a 3-0 home record and we believe they are in a great spot to make that 4-0 tonight. Carolina is a good team, but they are playing their third road game in four nights before traveling back home for a game in 6 days. We've been around hockey long enough to know that this is a one foot on the plane type game, so we don't expect them to be sharp for 60 minutes of play. We also like the goaltending matchup in this game as John Gibson goes for Anaheim vs Petr Mrazek who is not a No.1 goalie - I don't care what his stats say. The Ducks are in a great spot and we'll gladly take them as plus money home dogs.

4-Unit Play. #683 Take Saskatchewan over BC (Friday at 10:00 pm) As per your selection on Saskatchewan, this game is rather quite simple. One team has plenty to play for including a division crown, a bye and a home playoff date in the Western Finals, while the other is eliminated from the postseason and is starting their third-string quarterback. Saskatchewan's defense has been extremely tough to score points against lately outside of the 30 they gave up to a good Calgary team last week. BC's best chance at winning their remaining games was last week but Mike Reilly went down with a broken wrist and so with that, the season is effectively done. We don't believe that Danny O'Brien is going to come in to replace Reilly and have some kind of all-world performance against a top defensive unit. Saskatchewan will win this game by 10+ and we believe they will ultimately go on to win the West Division. The last time these two teams hooked up, the Riders escaped with a 45-18 win and we expect more of the same here tonight.

4-Unit Play. #014. Take Toronto (-115) over Boston (Saturday at 7:00 pm).

As per your selection on the Toronto Maple Leafs, we know that Tavares is out through injury but we feel this is an excellent spot for there rest of the team to finally step up and help the team win some hockey games. Look, these two teams hate each other and Boston essentially haunts Toronto's dreams. The Leafs come into this game with an extra day of rest while Boston went the full 65 minutes and lost in a shootout on Thursday to Tampa. The Bruins looked slow and sloppy in that one and they just aren't the same team they were last season. The Leafs need this game in a bad way to prove to the fans and themselves that they can be okay without Tavares in the lineup. This is a short price on a good team and we'll take them every day of the week.

4 Unit Play. Take #415 Rice Owls over UTSA Road Runners (6p.m., Saturday, October 19 ESPN3) An 0-6 teams being favored on the road against a 2-4 team tells you all you need to know about this game. Rice played well in a marathon game against UAB two weeks ago (two weather delays) and they will notch their first win of the season tonight in San Antonio. If Rice can prevent the big plays and make UTSA drive the length of the field they will be in good shape. UTSA is 2-11 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 home games. Rice is 21-9 ATS (1 push) in their last 30 games against teams with a losing record.

4 Unit Play. Take #398 Virginia Tech Hokies over North Carolina Tar Heels (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 19 ACCNX) Just do not believe North Carolina should be favored in this game on the road. Virginia Tech has won two straight games and beaten North Carolina 3 straight times. The Tar Heels played well against Clemson, but they enter having lost 3 of their last 4 games and they will struggle to become bowl eligible this season. Virginia Tech is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against North Carolina.

4 Unit Play. Take #348 Eastern Michigan Eagles over Western Michigan Broncos (7p.m., Saturday, October 19 ESPN+) The Eagles have not beaten the Broncos is recent years but they are 2-0 (1 push) in the last 3 meetings against the spread. The Eagles must win this game to make a bowl game and expect them to go all out at home against an in-state rival. Western Michigan is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. Eastern Michigan is 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with a winning record.

10 Unit Play. Take Purdue Boilermakers over Iowa Hawkeyes (12p.m., Saturday, October 19 ESPN2) BIG 10 TOP PLAY These two teams are heading in opposite directions and I just do not believe Iowa should be this big of a favorite. Purdue has righted the ship after losing their quarterback and they dominated Maryland last week in impressive fashion. Purdue has beaten Iowa two straight games and the visitor has dominated this series going 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Iowa is not explosive on offense and Purdue has played well in their last 7 quarters (last 3 against Penn State). Purdue was shell shocked early by Penn State but held their own after the first quarter and got a pass rush against them. Iowa is coming off back-to-back losses and have seen their hopes for a Big 10 Title Game appearance all but vanish. Iowa is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 conference games. Purdue is 15-7 ATS in their last 22 road games.
