Maine vs Rhode Island
Rhode Island -18.5 (-110) (BetMGM)
This marks the second consecutive season Maine has been power-rated among the bottom 25 of 365 NCAA teams.

This marks the second consecutive season Maine has been power-rated among the bottom 25 of 365 NCAA teams. The Black Bears are 1-2, and their season-opening loss to Providence offered the clearest indication of their talent level. Providence converted just 11 of 19 free throws and still cruised to a 27-point win. Maine committed 23 turnovers and managed only nine assists. They’ll face that same pressure all night against a Rhode Island team that turns defensive intensity into points on the other end. The Rams also take excellent care of the basketball, recording 30 assists against just 15 turnovers through their first two games. My free play is Rhode Island minus the points. Thanks and best of luck! Jack Banks.NCAAB - Over / Under - Tue, Nov 10 @ 07:00 PM
Virginia Tech vs Iowa
Virginia Tech vs Iowa Under 142.5 (-115) (DraftKings)
My selection is on the 'under' between Virginia Tech and Iowa at 7 pm et on Tuesday. Both of these teams have lit up the scoreboard in their first two games with Virginia Tech scoring 88 and 96 points and Iowa producing 76 and 91. Of course, that was to be expected as both teams were heavily fav...
My selection is on the 'under' between Virginia Tech and Iowa at 7 pm et on Tuesday. Both of these teams have lit up the scoreboard in their first two games with Virginia Tech scoring 88 and 96 points and Iowa producing 76 and 91. Of course, that was to be expected as both teams were heavily favored in each of their first two contests. This figures to be an early test for both sides and I expect points to come at a premium. Note that Virginia Tech has not only been efficient defensively but it has really clamped down on its first two opponents' pace, allowing just 52 and 54 field goal attempts despite those two contests being out of hand early. It's a similar story for Iowa as it held Lipscomb and Eastern Illinois to just 47 and 52 field goal attempts, respectively, virtually a mirror image of Virginia Tech's performances. Iowa is favored here in Sioux City and while it has been ultra-efficient offensively through two games, it hasn't necessarily pushed the pace, getting off 59 and 52 field goal attempts against overmatched opponents. The Hokies figure to offer some resistance and I believe this total will prove too high. Take the under (8*).NCAAB - Over / Under - Tue, Nov 10 @ 07:00 PM

(#611) Virginia Tech Hokies @ (#612) Iowa Hawkeyes | UNDER | . I'm expecting a low scoring contest here on Tuesday. Virginia Tech has begun the season by showing solid defense. As a matter of fact, the Hokies have allowed 121 points over their first two games. While it's much easier to do that against weaker teams, I firmly believe that VT can keep Iowa below 75 as well. The Hawkeyes are one of the slowest playing teams in College Basketball, ranking 364th in KenPom's adjusted tempo rankings at the moment. Although Iowa's offense has performed early, this is also its first real test. This should be a very slow paced basketball game, leading to a big time "under." Burns' Prediction: 70-62 Iowa.NHL - Moneyline - Tue, Nov 10 @ 07:07 PM

Winnipeg Money Line +130 vs New Jersey [NHL, 7:05 pm et Tuesday] The Jets have this game circled as Winnipeg is hosting the Devils and goalie Conner Hellebuyck in this one.

Winnipeg Money Line +130 vs New Jersey [NHL, 7:05 pm et Tuesday] The Jets have this game circled as Winnipeg is hosting the Devils and goalie Conner Hellebuyck in this one. Although Hellebuyck will not play, he was the goalie that was the cornerstone of the Jets before demanding that Winnipeg trade him. He landed with the Devils. The Jets have substantial motivation here and also come into this game winners of 3 straight. Devils back-up goalie Jake Allen will get the start here and he has conceded 9 goals in his two starts the past two weeks. New Jersey is off to a great start this season yet this spot is the right situation for a Devils upset loss. My models are showing the probabilities favoring a game result of Winnipeg winning 4-3 or 4-2 and I will bet the underdog here.NHL - Over / Under - Tue, Nov 10 @ 07:07 PM
Washington Capitals vs Ottawa Senators
Washington Capitals vs Ottawa Senators Under 6.5 (-120) (BetMGM)
My selection is on the 'under' between Washington and Ottawa at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Senators are expected to get a big boost with the return of Linus Ullmark between the pipes on Tuesday. They've treaded water in his absence, going 4-4 over their last eight games but do check in off conse...
My selection is on the 'under' between Washington and Ottawa at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Senators are expected to get a big boost with the return of Linus Ullmark between the pipes on Tuesday. They've treaded water in his absence, going 4-4 over their last eight games but do check in off consecutive wins over the Sabres and Mammoth. We're working with a reasonably high total here as the Capitals are coming off back-to-back 'over' results and have posted a 10-5 o/u mark on the season. I do think we have a 'catalyst for change' at work with Washington hitting the road for the first time since October 29th. Note that only two of the Caps four road games this season have totalled more than six goals with both of those contests reaching seven total goals. Ottawa currently ranks around the middle of the pack in terms of goals per game but enters the week top 10 in goals allowed per contest. Neither of these teams have enjoyed much success with the man advantage. Washington ranks 22nd in power play percentage while Ottawa sits 31st. The Sens have seen their last two games stay 'under' the total but previously posted a three-game 'under' streak back in October. Take the under (8*).NCAAB - Point Spread - Tue, Nov 10 @ 08:00 PM

#306676 ASA PLAY ON South Dakota -3 over Houston Christian, Tuesday at 8 PM ET South Dakota will be hungry for a win off back to back losses vs formidable opponents. They lost by 8 points vs Northern Kentucky and by 2 vs Cal State Fullerton. Three point shooting was the difference in those 2 games with South Dakota hitting 32% while their opponents combined to make 26 of 48 from deep for 54%. Surprising the Coyotes were able to make both games very competitive with those numbers. The 3 point numbers in this one should look much better for SD facing a Houston Christian team that has played just one Division 1 opponents this year, Western Illinois who ranks 363rd out of 368 teams per Ken Pom, and HCU made just 2 of 12 from deep in that game. Last year they ranked 392nd from deep making only 31% so we don’t expect that to change much here. The Huskies were able to hold on for a 7 point win vs a bad Western Illinois team who shot 1 of 11 from beyond the arc. That game was on a “neutral” site in Illinois (not WIU’s home court) so HCU is on the road for the 2nd straight game. While SD has been unfortunate with their 3 point defense, HCU has been extremely fortunate with their first 2 opponents combining to make only 20% from 3. Regression to the mean for both teams in this one. Coming into the year, South Dakota had won 28 of their previous 35 home games while Houston Christian has only won 3 of their last 21 true road games. HCU hasn’t had a winning season since 2017 and they are getting a little too much respect here after their 2-0 start vs Louisiana Christian and Western Illinois. We mentioned their recent road woes above, however going back further HCU has a record of 10-60 SU their last 70 road games. South Dakota, on the other hand, is a bit undervalued with a 1-2 start but they’ve played the much tougher schedule so far. The Coyotes get the FT line frequently already having attempts 99 FT’s this season (an average of 33 per game). HCU is averaging 23 FT’s per game after 2 contest. Just 10% of Houston Christians points have come from the FT line while South Dakota gets 24% of their points from the charity stripe. That could be key in a tight game. Short number here and we’ll side with South Dakota.NBA - Over / Under - Tue, Nov 10 @ 09:10 PM
Miami Heat vs Utah Jazz
Miami Heat vs Utah Jazz Over 228.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
The Utah Jazz are just 1-9 to start the season and their defense gives up the 4th most points in the Western Conference. The Miami Heat are not much better as they are tied with the Milwaukee Bucks in giving up the most points per game in the Eastern Conference.

Our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday at 11:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: Oklahoma City is still playing really well this season even while dealing with these injuries. In fact, the Thunder are now on a four game winning streak and are just a game outside of first in the Western Conference (played two less games). Portland is also improved this season. But, the loss of Morant is big, especially in games like this. The Blazers have lost 19 of the L20 reg season games between these two teams. The play is on OKC.
