    Analysis

    This is a really tough spot for Nebraska coming off the big win over Michigan State over the weekend. The Huskers did win their one true road game at Illinois but I still think there will be opportunities to bet against them away from home this season and this is one of them. I took Ohio State ML -115 (DK) and would bet up to -130.

    Analysis

    The New York Rangers return home after a 12-day, six-game road trip, capped by a 5-1 win over the Panthers (two power-play goals) despite being outshot 37-20. Mammoth ranks fifth in shots against and owns a +141 shot differential, including +21 in high-danger chances. Meanwhile, New York is 26th in shots against and holds a -121 shot differential, with -4 in high-danger chances. Utah already beat the Rangers this season with a sizable shot advantage. I like the road team in this spot.

    Picked: Jan 5 @ 1:41am

    Analysis

    Miles McBride is having a strong season while averaging a career high in PPG, while shooting a blistering 45% from behind the arc. He looks set to see 30+ minutes as the Knicks will be without Josh Hart. McBride has averaged 16 PPG in games without Josh Hart in the lineup. This game projects to be competitive and is featuring the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.

    Spread
    Picked: Jan 5 @ 2:54am

    Analysis

    By the time Ivy play begins we're used to seeing a bit more from Princeton than the current edition that's shooting worse (41% from the floor) than any Tigers team in recent memory. That's a main reason why Princeton also hasn't been up to its normal challenging non-Ivy slate, lacking a sharp edge that could have helped in some of its 11 losses. Meanwhile, Penn has mostly been up to the challenge in the maiden run at his alma mater for HC Fran McCaffery, who has kept the Quakers combative the past month even minus top scorer F Ethan Roberts, with sorts such as ex-Mercer F Michael Zanoni (51 points across the last two games) effectively stepping into the breach.

    MIAMI -2.5
    -122
    Spread
    Picked: Jan 2 @ 1:38pm

    Analysis

    Ole Miss battled Georgia, with both teams exceeding 70 plays—a significant amount of time on the field for both units. The schedule did the Rebels no favors by scheduling this game for Thursday instead of Friday. Miami has advantages in point differential, third-down defense, red zone offense and defense, run defense, opponent passer rating, net yards per pass defense, and sack differential. Against fellow bowl opponents, the Hurricanes hold the edge in net yards per play, net yards per rush, net yards per pass, and net yards per point on both offense and defense. Miami controlled the line of scrimmage vs Ohio State; this is repeatable against Ole Miss. If you find -2.5 at -115 or better, consider making it a 1-unit play.
