NHL has been treating us well lately and we’re staying aggressive with today’s slate. I’ve got nine total plays on the board today after digging through the matchups and numbers.
Free pick for today:
Kings Team Total Under 3.5 (-160)
3 Units
Los Angeles has been running into a lot of tighter defensive games recently and this matchup projects to stay controlled at even strength. The number is a bit juiced but the 3.5 team total gives solid protection if the game stays within the expected script.
There are eight other picks on the card today as well across totals, team totals, and sides.
Best of luck to all.
Quick update on today’s card.

Back at it again tomorrow.
Massive card today.
The model has been lighting up the board the last couple days and we went 6-3 yesterday, so things are trending in the right direction again. When the model starts flagging a lot of plays like this it usually means there are multiple edges showing up across the board, and that is exactly what we are seeing right now.
There are 11 total plays today across the slate.
Free Pick of the Day
Colorado Avalanche ML -175
3 Units
The Avalanche have been one of the most consistent teams in the league and this matchup checks several boxes for the model. Strong offensive pressure, favorable possession metrics, and a clear talent gap in this spot. At -175 the implied probability still comes in lower than where the model makes the game, which is why it triggered as the free play.
There are 10 additional plays on today's card across NHL, NBA, and college basketball.

Best of luck!
NHL recap today: 6-5.
Not our best day, but we were right in the mix most of the night. The Penguins/Bruins game ended up being the big swing spot. Bruins looked great early and the under was tracking nicely, then the third period completely flipped the script. Penguins exploded late and that ended up burning three correlated positions.
Other than that stretch the reads were solid across the board and the model did its job identifying good spots.
Today's card:
✔ Avalanche ML
✔ Sabres ML
✔ Oilers ML
✔ Stars Team Total Over 3.5
✔ Red Wings/Devils Under 5.5
✔ Tampa Bay/Buffalo Over 6.5
✖ Bruins ML
✖ Penguins Team Total Under 3.5
✖ Bruins/Penguins Under 6
✖ Ducks ML
✖ Blackhawks Team Total Under 2.5
6 wins, 5 losses on the slate.
Some days the puck bounces your way and some days a single period wrecks a few positions. That is hockey betting. The important thing is the model keeps producing edges and we keep firing at them.
See you all tomorrow.
Kings Blue Jackets Under 6 is the free play of the day. (-105) For 3 Units.
We went 6-5 yesterday, there are 4 plays on the board so far tonight, and there may be more added later.
The main reason this one stands out is a very strong situational trend on Los Angeles. The Kings are 0 overs and 11 unders as an underdog after a 1 goal game, and this matchup graded out as a monster under spot in the report. Many other things point under here as well.
That is enough for me to make Kings Blue Jackets Under 6 the free play of the day.
Good luck today!
Tough day on the NHL card today. Finished 1-3.

�� Point Total (Over/Under): 135.5 (odds -110)
�� Location: The Legacy Center, Lake Charles, Louisiana (McNeese's home court)
⏰ Time: Wednesday, March 11, 2026 – 10:00 PM ET
Game Context: Conference Championship and NCAA Tournament Berth
This is not just another game – it's the Southland Conference Tournament final, with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line . Two best teams in the conference, which dominated the regular season, face off for the ultimate prize.
Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (28-4, 20-2 in conference) are the No. 1 seed and favorites. Throughout the season, they were the most consistent team in the Southland – winning 20 of 22 conference games, with their only league losses being a two-point road defeat to McNeese (66-64) and a surprising home loss to New Orleans (77-73) . This is a team that can adapt to any pace – they win both high-scoring 80+ point games and low-scoring defensive battles in the 60s .
McNeese Cowboys (27-5, 19-3 in conference) are the No. 2 seed and... the tournament hosts. The Legacy Center in Lake Charles is their home arena, and they're playing for their third consecutive conference championship . This team has championship muscle memory – they won this tournament in 2024 and 2025, and now have a chance for a three-peat. In the semifinal, they defeated UT Rio Grande Valley after a triple-overtime thriller, 84-80 .
�� Key Players Analysis and Their Impact on the Game
McNeese Cowboys – Offensive Dynamite
Larry Johnson (G) – 17.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 1.2 SPG
Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and the absolute leader of this team . In the semifinal against UTRGV, he proved he has the "clutch gene" – scoring 27 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and recording 7 steals, and in the third overtime, he was the one who tipped the scales . Johnson is the heart of McNeese's offense – he attacks the rim with force, draws fouls (76.7% from the line), and can create his own shot. His main weakness is three-point shooting (only 23.7%), which means he'll look for points in the paint . This is crucial for the over – the more Johnson attacks SFA's interior, the higher the probability of points from the field or free throws.
Tyshawn Archie (G) – 14.3 PPG, 2.8 APG, 1.6 SPG
McNeese's second-leading scorer. Archie is a different type of player than Johnson – he's comfortable on the perimeter, shooting 36.7% from three-point range . In the last regular-season game against Nicholls, he scored 18 points, and in the semifinal, he added 14 . His role in half-court offense cannot be overstated – when Johnson collapses the defense, Archie is the first option on the perimeter. In the two regular-season games against SFA, he scored 14 and 16 points respectively, showing that SFA's defense cannot completely shut him down .
Javohn Garcia (G) – 11.3 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 1.7 SPG
This is the most intriguing player in the context of this game. Garcia, last year's tournament MVP, missed the final four games of the season with a leg injury . In the semifinal, he returned and scored 12 points, including two crucial free throws in the second overtime that kept the Cowboys alive . If Garcia is fully healthy, McNeese gains a third offensive threat who can score both on the perimeter (35.1% from three) and from mid-range. His return is one of the key reasons why the over is a strong play.
Garwey Dual (G) – 8.2 PPG, 4.3 APG, 1.7 SPG
The point guard and the brain of the operation. He directs the offense and dishes out the most assists . In the semifinal, he saved the game by dunking with 6 seconds left in regulation to force overtime . Dual rarely looks for his own shot, but his penetrations are key to breaking down the opponent's defense. In the first game against SFA (66-64), he had 4 assists; in the second (60-67), he had 6 assists and 2 steals .
Jerrell Colbert (F) – 5.9 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 1.3 BPG
McNeese's primary rim protector. His job will be to contain Jerald Colonel in the paint. Colbert is a defensive-minded center who rarely scores, but his presence in the paint forces opponents to take more perimeter shots.
Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks – A Balanced Machine
Keon Thompson (G) – 18.3 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 4.4 APG
Southland Conference Player of the Year and SFA's absolute leader . Thompson is a complete point guard – he can score, assist, and rebound. In the second regular-season game against McNeese (67-60), he scored 21 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, dominating in key moments . In the semifinal against Texas A&M-CC, he scored the decisive layup with 12 seconds left . Thompson is the brain and heart of this team – if McNeese doesn't find a way to slow him down, the Lumberjacks will control the pace.
Lateef Patrick (G) – 15.5 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 1.4 SPG
SFA's second key scorer. Patrick is a "3&D" type – he defends at a high level and shoots well from distance (35.2% from three) . In the first game against McNeese (64-66), he scored 15 points; in the second (67-60), he had 12 . His matchup with Tyshawn Archie is one of the most intriguing tactical aspects of this game. If Patrick can shut down Archie, McNeese loses its second scoring option.
Jerald Colonel (F) – 4.9 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 2.5 BPG
SFA's defensive anchor. Colonel is the conference leader in blocks – his 2.5 blocks per game are elite . His job will be to contain Larry Johnson's attacks on the rim. In the first game against McNeese, Colonel grabbed 10 rebounds and had 1 block; in the second, he had 10 rebounds and 1 block . If Colonel can neutralize Johnson in the paint, McNeese will be forced to shoot from distance – which is not their strength.
Narit Chotikavanic (G) – 9.4 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 39.6% from three
SFA's best three-point shooter. Chotikavanic hits nearly 40% of his shots from beyond the arc, making him the most dangerous perimeter threat . In the two games against McNeese, he scored 4 and 8 points respectively, but his role is to stretch the defense and open space for Thompson and Patrick.
Chrishawn Christmas (F) – 6.5 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 1.9 APG
A versatile forward who can do a little bit of everything. Christmas is the "glue guy" – the type of player who doesn't stand out statistically, but his defensive work and rebounding are crucial . In the second game against McNeese, he grabbed 10 rebounds, showing how important he is in the battle for boards .

Season Averages at a Glance
TeamPoints ScoredPoints AllowedFG%3P%McNeese80.266.746.6%31.4%Stephen F. Austin76.965.645.1%36.6%
Combined season average: When these two teams face an average opponent, the total points average 157.1. That's a full 21.6 points above tonight's line of 135.5, suggesting significant value on the over.
Defensive Rankings
Both teams are elite defensively, which is usually a red flag for over bettors. However, context matters:
McNeese: 27th nationally in scoring defense (66.7 PPG allowed), 30th in opponent field goal percentage (40.8%)
SFA: 14th nationally in scoring defense (65.6 PPG allowed), 62nd in opponent field goal percentage (42.2%)
When two great defenses meet in a championship game, points are at a premium. But in this specific case, we're dealing with phenomenal offenses that can break down even the best defenses.
Head-to-Head History
The regular season series ended 1-1, with both games being extremely low-scoring:

Key observation: Both games were played on each team's home court. Tonight's game is at a neutral site (The Legacy Center, but as the tournament venue). In the two matchups, the star players delivered:
Larry Johnson: 18 and 10 points
Tyshawn Archie: 14 and 16 points
Keon Thompson: 15 and 21 points
Lateef Patrick: 15 and 12 points
Last 10 Games Form
In their last 10 games, both teams have shown slightly different scoring patterns:
McNeese (9-1 in last 10):
Average points scored: 75.6 (below season avg of 80.2)
Average points allowed: 64.8
Notable: Played one triple-overtime game (84-80 vs UTRGV)

Average points allowed: 66.6
Notable: Played one low-scoring semifinal (60-58 vs Texas A&M-CC)
Combined average from last 10 games: Approximately 140-141 points, still above the 135.5 line.
�� Expert Opinions and Professional Service Projections
I reviewed several credible sources to see how professionals are projecting this game:
College Sports Wire / USA Today :
Predicted score: McNeese 72, SFA 68 (total 140 points)
Over/under pick: Over 137.5
Key observation: "Both teams are led by phenomenal guard play. McNeese gets production from Larry Johnson, Tyshawn Archie, Javohn Garcia, DJ Richards Jr., and Garwey Dual. Stephen F. Austin is equally deep, with Keon Thompson, Lateef Patrick, Narit Chotikavanic, Kam Burton, and Chrishawn Christmas."
Fox Sports 1380 :
Predicted score: McNeese 72, SFA 70 (total 142 points)
Over/under pick: Over 137.5
They note that McNeese ranks 21st nationally in turnovers forced (15.7 per game), which could lead to easy transition points
AP News / Data Skrive :
They present raw stats without picking, but emphasize that Keon Thompson (18.1 PPG, 4.4 APG) and Lateef Patrick (15.1 PPG in last 10 games) are in excellent form
McNeese is 4-1 in games decided by 3 points or less – they have experience in tight games
The Dunkel Index (via data from other services):
Their line is set at 138.5 (slightly higher than the books)
They note that McNeese has hit the over in 19 of 32 games this season (59%), while SFA has hit it in 16 of 32 (50%)
Importantly, McNeese's games average 146.8 total points, while SFA's average 142.5
�� Analysis of Key Factors Affecting the Total
Factors Supporting UNDER (135.5)
Head-to-Head History: The two regular-season games totaled 130 and 127 points. This is the strongest argument – these teams know each other well and know how to neutralize each other's strengths. In both games, the defenses played key roles – Colonel blocked Johnson, and Patrick guarded Archie .
Elite Defense: Both teams are in the top-30 nationally in points allowed. In a championship game, with the pressure and fatigue (especially McNeese after triple overtime), scoring could become even more difficult. SFA is 7th nationally in fewest turnovers (8.6 per game), meaning they don't give the ball away and don't allow easy transition points .
McNeese Fatigue Factor: The Cowboys played a triple-overtime game (50 minutes) in the semifinal against UTRGV, just one day before the championship . Larry Johnson played 27 minutes in the Nicholls game, but in the semifinal, he logged significantly more minutes. Fatigue could affect shooting efficiency, especially in the second half.
SFA's Tempo Control: The Lumberjacks, under Matt Braeuer, play very disciplined defense and control the tempo . If they manage to slow the game down and force McNeese into half-court offense, the total could fall below 135.5.
Factors Supporting OVER (135.5)
Offensive Efficiency: Both teams have high offensive efficiency – McNeese shoots 46.6% from the field, SFA 45.1% . The combined season average (157.1) is well above the line. Key scorers – Johnson, Archie, Garcia, Thompson, Patrick – can score even against great defense.
Turnover Generation: McNeese ranks 2nd nationally in turnovers forced (15.7 per game) . Even though SFA rarely turns the ball over, when they do, McNeese will capitalize immediately. Dual and Johnson are masters at stealing the ball and finding easy transition points. In the semifinal, DJ Richards scored two points off a steal, giving McNeese the lead in the third overtime .
Championship Pressure Dynamics: A game for an NCAA Tournament bid often makes players more cautious, but paradoxically – in the final minutes, when everything is on the line, emotions take over and more points are scored off forced actions. Johnson proved against UTRGV that in those moments, he's unstoppable .
Expert Consensus: All the professional analyses I found are projecting over – College Sports Wire, Fox Sports 1380 . That's not a coincidence.
Fatigue Hurts Defense More Than Offense: While McNeese is tired after triple overtime, fatigue can paradoxically help the over. Tired legs mean worse footwork on defense, slower rotations – and that's a recipe for more points for SFA. Thompson and Patrick can exploit this, especially in the second half.
Garcia's Return: Garcia, last year's tournament MVP, returned to the lineup and scored 12 points in the semifinal . If he's fully healthy, McNeese gains a third offensive threat, making their attack even more unpredictable. In the two regular-season games against SFA, Garcia didn't play due to injury.
�� Line Movement Analysis
The 135.5 line is approximately 10-12 points lower than the combined season average of both teams – a significant discrepancy.
Line Comparison Across Services:
Service Line Projection Standard Books135.5-Dunkel Index138.5 Over, Fox Sports 137-137.5 over College Sports Wire137.5Over
If your book has the line at 135.5, that's even better for over bettors, as it provides more cushion.
Historical Over Rates:
McNeese: 19 of 32 games hit the over (59%)
SFA: 16 of 32 games hit the over (50%)
McNeese's games average 146.8 total points
SFA's games average 142.5 total points
The -110 odds are standard value. The 135.5 line is set low, likely to attract under bettors who look at the two previous regular-season matchups. This is a classic trap – the over has much stronger arguments.
�� The Non-Analytical Factor: "The $8 Million Portfolio"
I recently established contact with a new source – a data analyst working for one of the risk assessment firms in the betting industry, whom I connected with through a mutual acquaintance. He revealed something that in betting circles is called a "quiet signal."
Over the last 48 hours, a series of unusually large bets on the over 135.5 have appeared in the Nevada and New Jersey markets. We're talking $200,000 to $300,000 each, placed by several entities linked by IP addresses and bank accounts. In total – nearly $8 million on the over.
The Players Behind the Money
Who's behind it? The trail leads to a hedge fund called Black Square Capital, based in New York. It's a small but incredibly effective fund run by three former McNeese students:
Marcus Webb (class of 2012, now managing partner)
David Kao (data analyst, class of 2014)
Chris Lowell (trader, class of 2013)
These three men have been quietly supporting the McNeese basketball program for years – off the books, of course. They provide money for scholarships, cover "unexpected expenses," and make sure the team has everything it needs. In return – again, unofficially – they expect a certain amount of "goodwill."
The Motivation
According to my source, Webb and his partners have extra motivation this year. Their fund just lost $40 million on bad interest rate projections. They need a quick cash infusion to calm their investors. Betting $8 million on the over isn't gambling for them – it's insurance.
The Inside Information
How can they be so sure of the over? The source suggests that Webb maintains "friendly relationships" with two key figures in the McNeese program:
An assistant coach responsible for physical preparation
A former team manager who now works in the Southland Conference office
From them, he allegedly received assurances that:
Javohn Garcia is fully recovered from his injury and will play without minute restrictions, giving McNeese a third offensive threat
McNeese's coaching staff has concluded that the only way to beat SFA is to force a fast pace – the fatigue from triple overtime won't allow them to defend at the highest level for 40 minutes
Stephen F. Austin, aware of their advantage in half-court offense, also has no intention of slowing down – they want to prove they can win at a high tempo too
The Track Record
The source notes that Black Square Capital also bet the over in:
McNeese's game against Nicholls (75-65, 140 total points) – win
The semifinal against UTRGV (84-80, 164 total points after overtimes) – win
Is that just good analytical instincts, or something more? For Webb, Kao, and Lowell, this isn't about loyalty to their alma mater. It's about a $8 million portfolio that needs a guaranteed return. And in their world, a guaranteed return comes from knowing what others don't.
�� Verdict: OVER 135.5
After a thorough analysis of all factors, the recommendation is OVER 135.5.
Final Rationale:
The two previous regular-season games totaled 130 and 127 points – that's a fact. But those were regular-season games, without the pressure of "win and go to the NCAA Tournament." Championship games are different – players are more amped up, more aggressive, and referees often let more go on offense to keep the game entertaining. In the semifinal, McNeese scored 84 points, and SFA scored 60 in a defensively-minded game – that shows the offensive potential is huge.
Professional services are projecting over – College Sports Wire, Fox Sports – all predict totals in the 140-142 range . That's a consistent expert voice.
Offensive statistics are too strong – McNeese averages 80.2 points, SFA 76.9. Even if both defenses are great, in a championship game on a neutral court, under pressure – offense usually has the advantage. Johnson, Archie, Garcia, Thompson, and Patrick are players who can create their own shots.
Turnovers forced – McNeese is 2nd nationally in turnovers forced . Even if SFA rarely turns it over, when they do, the Cowboys will capitalize immediately. Easy transition points are the quickest path to clearing 135.5. Dual and Johnson are masters at stealing the ball.
McNeese fatigue will hurt their defense more than their offense – triple overtime against UTRGV was 50 minutes of basketball. Fatigue will negatively impact their defense more than their offense. On offense, they can rely on instinct and routine. On defense, they need fresh legs and quick rotations – and that might be lacking. Thompson and Patrick will exploit this.
The $8 million from Black Square Capital – when nearly $8 million in smart money comes in on the over, from people with connections to the program, it's worth paying attention. Webb, Kao, and Lowell aren't gambling – they're investing based on information.

Bruins Team Total Under 3.5 (-150) | 3 Units
Boston is walking into a spot that looks a lot tighter than people think. Game script projects slower pace, fewer high-danger looks, and more structured defensive play on both sides.
Bruins have been trending toward lower output in these types of matchups, especially when facing teams that don’t open things up or trade chances. This feels like one of those games where they’re grinding for goals instead of generating clean offense.
