***9-2 in 2025 NHL POWER PLAYS***That’s right, my NHL POWER PLAYS are 81.8% this season so far and tonight we win again with another POWER PLAY WINNER!

Columbus Blue Jackets.

Game 46.

4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST.

St. Louis has had struggles against Columbus for sure, losing four consecutive meetings in this rivalry. But I think their issues run a little deeper than that. They have not won a single game since October 18, going six straight outings without a victory. This does include both games played on the road during that span. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets are running hot, winning three in a row, and five of their last six outings, and had an extra day off to rest and prepare for this game. Both offensively and defensively they are far superior, accounting for more goals per game, and yielding significantly less GPG. As a matter fact St. Louis ranks 31st in goals against, yielding over 4.3 GPG, while Columbus allows just 3.1 GPG. The Blue Jackets continue to dominate. Take Columbus. Thank you.

Philadelphia Flyers.

Game 40.

4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST.

I think the line is way off in this matchup, my friends. It's true, Toronto has had their way with Philadelphia, taking nine of the last 10 meetings. But this is a new season, and a new Flyers team. They come into this contest winning three in a row, and five of their last six, sporting a home record, one of the best in the NHL, of 6-1. As a matter of fact, they have won five straight games played on their own ice. The Maple Leafs are winless on the road, going 0-3 away from home this season, and are certainly getting steamrolled on the defensive/goaltending se, getting devoured for over 3.6 GPG. Maybe the Flyers offense isn't so impressive, but they rank second in the NHL in goals against, yielding just 2.4 GPG. That will be the difference in this matchup. Let's not forget revenge is a dish best served cold, and Philly is looking for revenge from the last few years of domination by their opponent. Take the Flyers. Thank you.

Colorado Avalanche on the PUCK LINE.

Game 35.

1:05 PM PST/4:05 PM EST.

Going back three years, Colorado has won all 10 matchups with San Jose. They come into tonight's game with momentum, following their second win in back-to-back games, a road victory last night over the Vegas Golden Knights. They are playing very strong hockey. The home team is definitely struggling. They have just one victory on their own ice this season. They rank in the middle of the pack in scoring, averaging 3.4 GPG. But they are dead last in the NHL in goals against, getting plowed over 4.4 GPG. This does not bode well as the Avalanche possess the #2 scoring offense in hockey, lighting up scoreboards for over 3.8 GPG, and top the NHL in shots on goal (33.8). That would be enough for me here, my friends, but they also possess a top-five defense/goaltending unit. I just don't see the home team keeping this game close. This game will get out of hand. Take Colorado on the puck line. Thank you.

Milwaukee Bucks.

Game 526.

2:10 PM PST/5:10 PM EST.

To say Milwaukee has had their way with Sacramento would be an understatement. The Bucks have taken nine of the last 10 meetings in this rivalry, straight up, covering six of those 10, which does include wins and covers in the two most recent matchups, last January and last March. The Kings enter this contest struggling, losing three in a row, and four of their five overall games this season, which does include a winless mark as a visitor, going 0-3 on the road in 2025. Meanwhile Milwaukee is playing some great basketball, winning four of the five outings thus far in this regular season, which does include all three games played on their own court, and going back to last season they have covered six straight games. Giannis sat out their last game and is listed as questionable here tonight (as of posting this play). Always do your due diligence and check status especially in the NBA. But this team has taken down some solid opposition already with him not on the floor, beating the Warriors a few nights ago at home, 120-110 as a 7.5-point underdog. Sacramento seems to be having trouble finding their rhythm. They're having trouble scoring, ranking 26th, and averaging just 111.0 PPG, and are going up against a very frustrating defense here. That would be enough for me, but Milwaukee is lighting up the scoreboard, accounting for over 121.8 PPG (ranking 6th) and also ranking 3rd overall in field goal percentage, and eighth in three-point percentage. I also see them dominating at both ends of the court on the board. I think the line is short here. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Chicago Blackhawks on the PUCK LINE.

Game 51.

7:05 PM PST/10:05 PM EST.

It's true, going back several seasons the Edmonton Oilers have had their way with the Chicago Blackhawks. But this is a brand-new campaign, and the Oilers enter this matchup running cold, dropping six of their last nine outings. The visiting Blackhawks have won five of their last eight games, and come into tonight's matchup seeking a little revenge in this rivalry. Maybe the oddsmakers made the home team such a high favorite because they have dominated this rivalry. But this season, something just isn't clicking for Edmonton. Looking at the statistics, Chicago actually scores a little bit more, but allows significantly less. They rank 11th in the NHL in goals against, yielding just 2.8 GPG. The Blackhawks are looking for a little revenge, and certainly are stronger on the defensive side of the ice. Take Chicago on the line. Thank you.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Game 337.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

The Yellow Jackets are finding new and improved ways not just to win, but to cover the point spread, as well. Very quietly, Georgia Tech is a perfect 8-0 straight up this season and has covered six of those eight outings. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack are struggling, dropping and failing to cover two in a row, and four of their last five contests. Yes, NC State returns back home following two away losses and no covers. Georgia Tech currently sits atop the ACC with a perfect 5-0 in conference play, and, can finish out the conference schedule that way, with a road meeting against BC in two weeks, and then a home matchup against Pitt. They do finish the regular season with a nonconference game against Georgia, but that would not affect their conference record. On both sides of the ball, their opponent is outclassed. The Yellow Jackets and their well-balanced offense will dominate the 107th-ranked defense of the Wolfpack, which allows 29.9 points per game. I don't see how a struggling team, despite playing at home, is going to even compete in a matchup against a surging squad which knows they must stay perfect in conference play. Take Georgia Tech. Thank you.

Wake Forest.

Game 331.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

Sitting at five victories so far this season, the Demon Deacons are looking to become bowl-eligible. They have a couple tough opponents remaining on their regular season schedule, but this is an ideal spot for them to shock the world. Yes, they enter this matchup a double-digit underdog, but they also enter this matchup winning three in a row, and covering their last four outings. They catch a Seminoles opponent that is certainly sliding, riding a four-game straight up/against the spread losing streak. Do I think FSU might turn things around this week and play a little tougher? Yes, I think they're going to come out and compete because they know their season depends on this game. Prior to last year's Florida State 41-16 victory over Wake Forest, the Demon Deacons won and covered the three previous meetings. Wake Forest has seen their defense come alive, holding Virginia Tech to 23, Oregon State to 14, and SMU to 12 points. You may not realize this, but they're currently ranked 26th in the nation, yielding in just 18.9 points per game. They do face a well-balanced offense in this matchup. But let's face it, something just isn't right with FSU. This is just way too many points, my friends. Wake Forest is playing too well, and with their surging defense, trust me when I tell you this game will be a lot closer than the point spread. Take the Demon Deacon. Thank you.

Mississippi.

Game 396.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

The sad sack Gamecocks, came as close as they could this season to getting a big game victory last week, in a losing effort. They were competing with the Crimson Tide until cream rose to the top and Alabama took them down. That was their third consecutive loss, and I believe this team comes back down to Earth to face a monstrous opponent playing on their own field this week. Mississippi, following their only loss of the season, bounce back last week and crushed Oklahoma on the road, 34-26. The Rebels can win out their final four games of the regular season. They face the Gamecocks this week before taking on the Bulldogs of Citadel, the Gators, and then the Bulldogs of Mississippi State on the road to finish the campaign. This is a team that has a monster offense. I know the South Carolina defense is allowing just 21.8 points per game. But their offense is so bad, ranking 117th, and posting a dismal 20.4 PPG. Mississippi will keep their defense on the field. They will wear them down and come the second half the game will get out of hand. I do not see the Gamecocks stop unit even slowing down the Rebels powerful explosive offense. On the flipside, many people forget how good the defense of ‘Ole Miss really is. They have contained some solid offenses this season, certainly a lot better than they're going to face this week. Take the Rebels. Thank you.

Central Florida Knights.

Game 359.

9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST.

Central Florida has started to become healthy, and having a week off after routing West Virginia, is certainly going to help them even more. This team is sitting at 4-3, and he is looking to become bowl-eligible with a couple more victories. This is a matchup the Knights have had circled since the schedule came out as they are looking for revenge from last year's 36-35 heartbreaking loss against the Bears. I am aware Baylor is 4-4, and is also looking to become bowl-eligible. I am also aware they possess the fifth-ranked passing unit in the nation. But I like the matchup for the visitor here. UCF ranks sixth in college football at defending the past. They are also, offensively one of the most consistent rushing attacks in the nation. They face one of the most beatable run defenses out there. The Knights will run the ball, run the ball, run the ball wearing down the Bears defense. On the flipside, Central Florida only allows 17.1 points per game. If you look closely at the Bears, their two best wins came at SMU and Kansas State by combined four-points. Their other two wins were against Stanford and Oklahoma State (YUK). Their defense is struggling. I feel the wrong team is favored in this matchup. But I will take the points with Central Florida. Thank you.

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Georgia Bulldogs.

Game 401.

12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST.

Why is the line in this game so low? Georgia has taken the last four meetings in this series, and overall, seven of the last eight matchups. They have covered five of those eight meetings, as well. But it is the last four games played between these two conference rivals that I am focused on. The lowest point spread in any of those was 14.0 points. Meanwhile, they enter this matchup (as of posting this free play), under a touchdown favorite. I am asking myself why. The Bulldogs come in here at 6-1 overall, winning and covering their last three outings, and had a week off to prepare for this game. Also off of a bye week, the Florida Gators enter this rivalry game, winning two of their last three outings, but failing to cover five of their last six. Playing at “The Swamp” is no benefit anymore, as this team is so inconsistent. I feel Georgia can run the gauntlet, and finish their last five regular season games all victorious. But it all starts with a big victory here this week. On a sidenote, Florida's got a tough remaining regular season schedule. While both defenses are holding opponents to 20.0 PPG or less, I think we will all agree the Gators offense is absolutely atrocious. I just don't see them keeping pace on the scoreboard with the well-balanced, explosive offensive unit of the Bulldogs. One more item folks, this game will come down to mistakes. And Florida certainly makes their share of them, committing 12 turnovers. There's no love lost between these two teams. But even more to motivate the visitor here, they really need to finish out their regular season without taking their foot off the gas. They are just too strong of a team for Florida. Take Georgia. Thank you.

Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Tennessee Volunteers.

Game 326.

4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST.

Despite these two teams possessing identical 6-2 straight up records, and all with respect to the Oklahoma Sooners, I do feel the line of this game is way short. The Sooners have dropped two of their last three games, while failing to cover four of their last five outings. Meanwhile, the Volunteers have won four of their last five outings straight up, but, and I will admit are point spread poison, failing to cover five of their lift six games. If you look at the head-to-head matchups, the only recent meeting between these two teams was last September when Tennessee took a 25-15 win and cover as a 5.5-point favorite at Oklahoma. Basically, no defense has been able to slow down, let alone stop the nation’s third-ranked passing attack of the Volunteers. While the Sooners pass defense ranks 11th nationally, I still don't see them containing their opponent in the air. Yes, the Oklahoma defense is one of the best in college football. But the Tennessee offense is so well-balanced. Their opponents, if they try to key on the air attack, get burned on the ground with a rushing unit accounting for nearly 200 yards per game (188.8 YPG). Just looking at the Sooners last outing at home against Mississippi, they got burned in the air for 315 yards passing. I feel the same thing is going to happen this week. Yes, defensively UT leaves a lot to be desired. And yes, I do feel OU can pass the ball a bit here and move the chains. But without a solid ground assault to keep their opponents defense honest, I think they're going to be in big trouble here. I think this line should be closer to a touchdown. Take Tennessee. Thank you.

Ohio State Buckeyes.

Big Ten Game of the Year.

Game 340.

9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST.

I posted this game early because early money is coming in on the ‘dog, and moved the line down. As usual, the general public is wrong, and together, we are going to prove them all wrong. Reports are Penn State finally covered a game, with their new coach and their new quarterback, who has had the luxury of an off week to get more in sync with his offense, will be a new team here, especially because even during their four-game straight up slide, they were one score away from covering and or winning each one of those games. Furthermore, despite the Buckeyes taking the last eight matchups with the Nittany Lions straight up, not one of those games had a pointspread this high. On paper, the visitor looks like the play here plus the points. But once again, my friends, college football isn't played on paper, it is played on the gridiron, and right now there is no team in the nation on the gridiron playing at the level of Ohio State. Yes, over those last eight wins for Ohio State in this rivalry the largest margin of victory came by 13-points. But the media is certainly forgetting a few things. For starters, the Buckeyes are 13-6 ATS at home since 2023. They too, we're off last week, and many people out there are might've forgotten that since losing to the Wolverines at the end of last season, they have gone 11-0 SU, 10-0-1 ATS, and have big victories over the likes of the Volunteers, Ducks, Fighting Irish, Huskies, Fighting Illini, and two over the Longhorns. This is an early game played Saturday morning. Ohio State currently ranks #1 in the nation, while the Indiana Hoosiers rank #2, as both are undefeated this season. The Hoosiers face off against the Terrapins at 12:30 PST/3:30 EST. They are a huge favorite, as well. Please take note that this game is being played first thing in the morning, 9:00 AM PST/12:00 EST. For the sake of argument, if OSU squeaks by PSU, and later on in the day Indiana crushes Maryland, style-points do count for something. The Buckeyes aren't going to take any chances here. Yes, excitement surrounds the new quarterback Grunkemeyer, and he did have an extra week to prepare here. But he's going up against the best team in college football, with the nastiest, most-ferocious defense we have seen on this level in quite a while. Ohio State has not allowed a single opponent to post better than 16-points this season, allowing a mere, 5.9-points per game. They rank in the top-10 in every major defensive category. The Nittany Lions possess the 110th-ranked passing unit in the nation. They're not all that great on the ground either, although they are decent…decent against the teams they have faced. This will change here against this opponent. I just don't see this young, green, quarterback having any success against the fourth-ranked pass defense in the nation. When he tries to keep the Buckeyes defense honest by handing the ball off, they are met with the sixth-ranked run defense in football, as well. Maybe PSU hung with Iowa, and kudos to them for doing so. But the Hawkeyes are not the Buckeyes. folks. OSU has the ball they are equally dangerous in the air as they are on the ground. They are led by the explosive quarterback, Sayin leading the nation in passing efficiency with 19 TD passes, and only three INT’s. Yes, he goes up against a very tough pass “D”. But he also has the luxury of very strong rushing attack, which will steamroll the 93rd-ranked run defense of their opponent here. Ohio State's remaining regular season schedule, in my opinion isn't very difficult. With Indiana over their shoulders in the polls, they must keep their foot on the gas here. They have Purdue up next on the road before taking on UCLA at home, then Rutgers, also at home, then finishing the regular season against their rival, Michigan on the road. There is no way they are going to take this game lightly, or ease up here at all. Style-points count, and besides, they know history shows this opponent plays them tough. They will flex their muscles and make a statement to the rest of college football. Take the Buckeyes. Thank you.
