NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Edmonton Oilers vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 9:35 ET - The Blue Jackets re-assigned Tarasov to the minors last week. Their current goalies are Korpisalo and Merzlikins. In the last 10 Columbus games those guys have been in the crease, 8 of the 10 have totaled at least 7 goals! Those 8 games averaged about 8 goals. Overall, other than the only recent Tarasov made, the Blue Jackets have allowed an average of about 4 goals per game. Now they have to face a red hot Oilers team so this could get ugly. Edmonton has scored 5 goals per game during their current 6-game winning streak! Also, the Oilers conceded an average of 3 goals per game last 9 home games. So even on home ice Edmonton tends to give up goals but these guys can score like crazy. They are so dangerous and they face a very bad Blue Jackets defense and sub-par goaltending that also just gave a huge effort in Johnny Gaudreau's return to Calgary on Monday. Look for that to help turn this non-conference battle into a wide-open affair with plenty of open ice. 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders @ 7:05 ET - Both these teams allowing plenty of goals of late. The Senators have lost 6 of 8 games and allowed 4.5 goals per game in those 8 games. The Sens off a 5-1 home loss to the Jets but had scored at least 4 goals in 3 of last 4 homes games before that one. Look for Ottawa's trouble in terms of goals allowed to continue here but they should also resume their recent home ice goal-scoring success courtesy of facing a a struggling Isles team. New York has lost 10 of 12 gams and allowed 4 goals per game last 5 games. The Islanders did defeat the Senators earlier this season by a 4-2 count. They have scored an average of 4.3 goals per victory in their last 9 wins and they will be dangerous here but the Sens answer them goal for goal. This is one of those that should get to 3-3 at some point which means at least a 4-3 final would be the end result. 10* OVER 6 in Ottawa |

CBB Wednesday 10* Top Play Richmond Spiders -115 @ Massachusetts Minutemen @ 7 ET - Great spot for a road win here and we get some value in the line since these teams have nearly identical overall records on the season. The key is not the overall records but the record in A-10 action that matters the most here as well as the current situation here. Massachusetts has lost 5 of 7 games in conference action. Richmond was 4-2 in conference action prior to losing to a solid VCU team this past weekend. Now the Spiders will bounce back. I know they do not have a good road record but this Spiders team is better than that shows and this is a great spot for them. They are catching a slumping UMass team and Richmond is actually 4-0 SU the last 4 times they are off a loss! Spiders will bounce back again here after falling short against the Rams. The Minutemen just are not very good defensively this season and the road team takes advantage here. 10* RICHMOND -115 |

NBA Wednesday 10* Top Play Philadelphia 76ers -5.5 vs Brooklyn Nets @ 7:35 ET - I am aware Embiid is questionable. I do expect him to play but, even if he does not, note that the Nets are 100% going to be without Durant here. Durant did play in the first meeting this season while Embiid did not. Plus Harden did not play for Philly in that one either. The Sixers still won the game by 9 points. Note that Harrell is coming off a big for the 76ers and could get the call again for a lot of minutes if Embiid misses. But the fact Brooklyn has no KD is the biggest key here. Also, I would really be surprised if Embiid does not play here. It is a divisional game and he has already had time off since neither he nor Harden played this weekend at Sacramento. Also Philly does not play again until this Saturday and that is a non-conference game and this game tonight is a divisional battle. Look for Embiid to go and Harden is not even on the injury report. The Sixers stay red hot here and roll to another win even if Embiid misses. The 76ers take advantage of a Nets team that has lost 4 of 6. The Sixers have won 5 straight and 18 of 22 games! 10* PHILADELPHIA -5.5 |

English Carabao Cup, Semifinals, Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United @ 3 ET - If you look at the current trending of these two clubs plus how their season has been playing out in league action as well, I believe that is a good indicator we are going to see plenty of goals here. Manchester United scores an average of 1.6 goals per match in league action but, when on the road, they have allowed 1.8 goals per match. Nottingham Forest is allowing 1.75 goals per match this season but, when on their home pitch, they have have scored 1.3 goals per match. Since a 3-0 loss at Manchester United in late December, Nottingham Forest has scored at least 1 goal in 6 straight matches across all competitions! Manchester United has scored an average of 2.2 goals per match last 9 matches across all competitions. I am looking for at least a 2-1 final in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 in Nottingham Forest |

Spanish Copa del Rey, Quarterfinals, Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid @ 3 ET - If you look at the current trending of these two clubs plus how their season has been playing out in league action as well, I believe that is a good indicator we are going to see plenty of goals here. Real Madrid scores an average of 2.2 goals per match in league action but, when at home, they have allowed at least 1 goal in 9 of last 10 matches! Atletico Madrid is allowing about 1 goal per match this season but also has scored a respectable 1.5 goals per match. Real Madrid won this match 2-1 when Atletico Madrid was the host back in September. Now they meet at Santiago Bernabéu where Real Madrid has scored at least 2 goals in each of the last two meetings. Considering Real Madrid has given up at least 1 goal so frequently as a host but yet is the superior team here with plenty of firepower on the attack, I am looking for at least a 2-1 final in this one. Sure this is a tough match for Atletico Madrid but their confidence has grown with recent successes and they have scored an average of 2 goals per match last 8 matches across all competitions. 10* OVER 2.5 in Real Madrid |
