Thursday card has the Triple Perfect NBA Revenge Game of the Year along with a Top Level NHL Play and College Hoops. NHL Comp Play below.
The NHL Comp play is on Nashville at 8:00 eastern. The Predators are a little heavy here but they do fit a nice 107-39 long term System pertaining to favorites of 145 or more off a loss of 3 or more goals. The Predators are home for Detroit and we note that they are 5-0 as a favorite and seem to like playing on Thursdays where they have won 7 straight. The Red wings have been a mess losing 9 of 10 and are now on a 10-44 road run. Look for Nashville to put an end to a 3 game losing streak. On Thursday a Powerful card is up and led by the Triple perfect NBA Revenge Game of the Year, and our NHL Central Division Play of the Month in the NHL with a 47-5 system. There is also NCAAB. See us on facebook to jump on. For the NHL Comp play. Go with Nashville. Rob V- GC Sports.

54 VAN 1.5 (-191) Sportsbook.ag vs 53 CAL
triple-dime bet
Analysis:
I'm playing VANCOUVER on the puck-line (+1.5 goals) When facing teams not named Toronto or Montreal, the Canucks have been very competitive. A visit from Calgary should bring out their best. Indeed, the Canucks have been far better on home ice than they have been on the road. Since these teams last met, the Flames have gone 4-5 overall. Two of those four wins (five of the nine games overall were decided by a single goal) came by a single goal. In other words, they'd be 2-7 if laying -1.5 goals in each of those games. While I like the Canucks' chances of the outright win, I'm expecting a tight one and feel that the extra +1.5 goals could easily come in handy. Knowing that their season is slipping away, look for the determined Canucks to give their very best effort, en route to AT LEAST a "puck-line cover."

730 Montana 1.0 (-110) Sportsbook.ag vs 729 Weber St.
double-dime bet
Analysis:
I'm playing on MONTANA. Don't be shocked when Montana wins this one. I expect a visit from Weber State to bring out the best in the Grizzlies. Coach Travis DeCuire had this to say: "We need a situation where the stage is set for high intensity and excitement. We need to play a team that is at the top of the standings, where there's a lot of hype surrounding the game. The youth that we have has probably shown up better for those higher-level games, so I'm hoping this brings the best ouŽt of us." These teams last met almost exactly one year ago. Laying -9.5 points, Montana won by 35. In fact, the Grizzlies were a bucket away from doubling the Wildcats, winning 72-37. This one will be considerably closer but in the end, I expect the Grizzlies to defend their homecourt, improving to 6-1 SU/ATS the past seven times that they played a home game with an O/U line in the 135 to 139.5 range.

573 TOR 4.5 (-110) Sportsbook.ag vs 574 BOS
double-dime bet
Analysis:
I'm playing on TORONTO. The Celtics got the better of the Raptors when these teams faced each other in early January. That was the first time that they'd met since Boston eliminated Toronto from the playoffs. So, as far as the Raptors are concerned, there's still a score to be settled. When the teams met earlier, the Raptors were off a loss and mired in a losing streak. The Celtics, on the other hand, were off a win and in the midst of a 5-game winning streak. Indeed, Boston was simply playing mu‰ch better basketball than Toronto at the time. Things set up much differently now though. The Raptors blew out Washington last night and have quietly gone 5-1 SU/ATS their last six. The Celtics, meanwhile, are off b2b losses and have dropped five of their last seven. With Boston playing its first game back home from a road trip, expect the revenge-minded Raptors to give their hosts all that they can handle, with a great shot at the outright upset.

40 NAS (-182) Sportsbook.ag vs 39 DET
dime bet
Analysis:
I'm playing on NASHVILLE. The Red Wings are in the wrong place, at the wrong time. After getting thumped by the defending champs, the Predators are iˆn an angry mood. Yes, the Preds have struggled. However, four of their last six games have come against the Lightning and the other two were against the Panthers. The Wings represent a big step down in class and the Preds know that they need to make the most of it. Note that Nashville is 5-0 its last five as a home favorite. The Wings, meanwhile, are 0-4 their last four, after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. The Wings have scored less than two goals in three of their last four and less than three goals in five of their past six. Preds roll.

750 Tennessee St. 8.0 (-110) Sportsbook.ag vs 749 Morehead St.
triple-dime bet
Analysis:
I'm playing on TENNESSEE STATE. The Tigers have really struggled at the betting window. That's led to them getting a generous amount of points for this evening's game vs. Morehead State. I feel that they're catching the Eagles at the right time. The Eagles are off an emotional 1-point win and they've got Belmont on deck. If there's ever a game to "look ahead" to, that's the one. While Morehead State has won 11 straight games and sits in second place, Belmont is a perfect 14-0 and atop the conference. That will be the biggest game of the season, to date, for the Eagles. I absolutely feel that they could already have that game in the back of their minds. That'll prove costly though as the Tigers have played them tough recently. In fact, Tennessee State has won three of the past four meetings outright, the lone loss coming by three points. Each of the past two meetings here came down to the wire, aŒs they were decided by just four combined points. Look for this one to also prove much closer than many will be expecting.
7-Unit Play. Take #540 Golden State (-7.5) over Orlando* (10 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 11th)
This one has blowout city written all over it. This game is going to have the feel of the Warriors of the last few years (not last year), just rolling over a team. Orlando just doesn't have the firepower to keep up with Golden State, and the Warriors rebound the ball well enough to neutralize the strength of the Magic. Orlando has lost six of seven games both straight up and ATS and tonight looks no different. This is the second game of their four game road trip and they still have Sacramento tomorrow and Portland on Sunday. For Golden State this is the second game of their four game homestand. Yes, they have a big game against Brooklyn on the horizon, but they have a day off to prep for that game. This won't be a look ahead spot as the Warriors don't want to lay a dud before playing the Nets. They will want to roll through the Magic and go into that Nets game with a ton of confidence. Lay the points in this one as the Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games versus a team with a losing road record and the Magic are 0-5 ATS in their last five games when playing on a days rest.
6 Unit Play. #718. Take Stanford +1 over Colorado (Thursday @ 7pm est)
We could have made this a bigger play but we think that 6* is the correct number here. The goal everyday is try to put our best foot forward. Obviously we did that with Wake yesterday and we can never get either too high or too low regardless of the previous day, the focus is entirely on today no matter the win or loss the day before. Being level headed is very important. Nice 2-0 basketball sweep yesterday as we also hit the 3* with the Hawks in the NBA as well. Soccer 3 of 4 wins and Hockey is a winning season thus far. Per this selection, Stanford I think is getting better at the right time. This is not the same team that faced Colorado earlier this year and lost by 13 points. It's interesting this total is set at 138 this time versus 141 last time which makes us think Stanford likely plays better defense this time around. Remember, Colorado just beat Arizona and comes off destroying Oregon State. However, Colorado let people in, mainly family into the game for Arizona and the Oregon State game which was a nice boost for them. But, they are not at home anymore and go to Stanford where Stanford gets back a key contributor in Williamson. Note, that Stanford comes off sweeping California, which is not overly impressive, but did only lost to USC by 6 who is the best team in the conference, and lost to a good Arizona State team on the rise as well by 4 points, beat Arizona on the road and also beat a good UCLA team. I think Colorado has not been challenged of late yet and you are likely to see a very motivated Stanford team here who likely does very well and we like Stanford to pick up the win here today.
