How to Use Free Picks Today

A free selection is most useful when you compare the recommended betting line with the number currently available at your sportsbook. A pick released at -3 can become much less attractive if the line moves to -5 before you bet it.

📊

Check the Betting Line

Compare the posted spread, total or moneyline with the current market before following any selection.

🏆

Review the Expert

Look at the handicapper’s current and long-term record in the sport you are betting.

📝

Read the Analysis

Use the reasoning behind the selection to understand matchup, trend and situational factors.

💰

Protect Your Bankroll

No selection is guaranteed. Use consistent bet sizing and avoid increasing stakes simply because a pick is free.

Research Before You Bet

Free selections are only one part of the handicapping process. Use our power ratings, public betting information and expert leaderboards to get a broader view of the betting board.

From Free Picks to Premium Picks

Free selections can help you learn how an expert approaches a matchup before paying for additional coverage. If you like a handicapper’s analysis and documented results, you can then compare the current packages available on the Premium Picks page.

Some handicappers release one highly selective play while others offer multiple-game packages or daily passes. Compare the sport, package size, price and current record rather than choosing solely based on the size of the advertised rating.

Game Analysis

FREE — TAMPA BAY–VEGAS OVER 6.5 — 10:30 ET

A highly regarded computer projection assigns its highest A grade to OVER 6.5, forecasting seven combined goals.

The model projects Tampa Bay to score 3.4 goals and Vegas to score 3.6, establishing a half-goal advantage over the posted total.

Both clubs possess offensive personnel capable of producing scoring opportunities through multiple forward lines. Their offensive depth creates opportunities for sustained scoring even if one team's top line encounters resistance.

The computer projection supports a higher-scoring contest, although the available information does not establish additional confirmation from historical totals systems or independent sharp selections.

Play to: OVER 6.5 at -110.

Play on: OVER 6 -130
Game Analysis

Our selection is on the Detroit Red Wings/Seattle Kraken game to finish OVER the total on Tuesday at 9:47pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Detroit is scoring lots right now, putting up 10 goals over it's L3 games.

The Red Wings are going to need to score quite a bit on Tuesday to have a chance as well.

These teams played just under two weeks ago and the game finished with a 6-3 final score.

Seattle has seen six of it's L7 games feature seven or more goals.

The play is on the OVER.

NHL | Sharks vs Canadiens
Play on: Canadiens -1½ +122 at circa
Game Analysis

This is a FREE PLAY on Montreal on the PUCKLINE option.

I think Montreal will not only win this favorable home matchup on Tuesday night, but it will do so by a sizeable margin.

The Habs have had two nights off since a 4-3 OT win here over the Sabres, while the Sharks lost 3-1 in Toronto last night (I had the Leafs). 

Expect a rested home side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish in what I feel is a great situational play; consider MONTREAL on the PUCKLINE.

Good luck, NP

Game Analysis

Jets vs Blues NHL Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Winnipeg Jets roll into St. Louis with the Connor Hellebuyck saga hanging over the locker room, and his suspension ending Friday only adds to the noise. Stuart Skinner has held the fort, but backup Clay Stevenson has struggled badly, and the Jets are coming off a home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

The St. Louis Blues return home to open a five-game homestand and have been reliable in this role, winning seven of their last nine games as home favorites. Their top-10 penalty kill also matches up well against a Winnipeg power play that has carried its offense. I'll take the home team while the Jets' off-ice distraction peaks.

The Bet: Blues (3%).

NHL | Kings vs Capitals
Play on: OVER 5½ -118
Game Analysis

Marc David's NHL Free Pick

We really like over in this matchup. The Kings (0-4-2) are the only winless team in the NHL, and the defense is the biggest reason why. They’re allowing 4.17 goals per game, third-worst in the league. They now start a five-game road trip, and G Anton Forsberg (0-1-1, 2.63 GAA) has stopped just 88.3% of the shots he’s faced. That’s an open door for a Caps team that likes to shoot.

The Capitals (5-3-0) have been scoring in bunches, with 28 goals through eight games. They’ve been especially good at home, winning four of five at Capital One Arena. Their own defense hasn’t been airtight though, allowing 24 goals.

A Caps offense that’s rolling, a Kings defense that can’t get stops, and a Kings team desperate to open things up and finally get a win. Give us the over.

This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER. 

Marc David Sports closed out last season on a 7-1 run with NBA picks! They have 2 NBA and 1 NHL premium pick locked in for Tuesday.

NHL | Wild vs Oilers
Play on: OVER 6½ +106
Game Analysis

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and Minnesota have all the ingredients for a Tuesday night shootout. The Oilers have come flying out of the gates offensively, averaging more than 4 goals per game and hanging six on Utah in their last outing. With Edmonton pushing the pace and generating scoring chances, Minnesota has the offensive weapons to answer rather than spend the night chasing the puck. The Wild are producing better than 3 goals per game themselves, and neither side needs much encouragement to trade chances. I expect plenty of end-to-end action, dangerous power plays and enough finishing talent to push this one past the number. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the OVER 6.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

NHL | Bruins vs Stars
Play on: Stars -161 at betonline
Game Analysis

My selection is on Dallas over Boston at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday.

The Bruins are off to a 3-0 start on their current road trip after cruising to a 4-1 win over the Kings on Saturday. Now they come off a two-day layoff and I look for their winning streak to be stopped by the Stars. Dallas has gotten off to a fairly slow start at 4-3-1. It has reeled off consecutive victories, however, including a dominant 4-0 win in Chicago on Saurday. Of note, the home team has taken three straight meetings in this series including Dallas home victories by scores of 7-2 and 6-2. While Boston will have one eye on an off day on Wednesday as it returns home to host Nashville on Thursday, Dallas will be opening a six-game homestand. Take Dallas (8*).
