This growth is a testament to our commitment to smart, data-driven betting strategies that maximize returns for our community.

At BrownBagBets, we do the heavy lifting by subscribing to these sites, so our community doesn't have to.

This approach highlights games with high-value potential, aligning with our goal of identifying opportunities that promise a high return on investment.
Game #1: Arizona Wildcats @ Duke Blue Devils, 7 PM ESPN2 Pick: Over 154 Wager: 6% Bankroll
The Arizona Wildcats and Duke Blue Devils are set for a high-scoring showdown. Duke's Kyle Filipowski is back for another year, and his impressive performance in the opener suggests he's ready for a big season. The Blue Devils, under Jon Scheyer, have added fresh talent with Caleb Foster and Jared MCain, promising a fast-paced game. Arizona, under Tommy Lloyd, is known for its quick play and efficient scoring, making the mid-150s a reachable target. Expect a thrilling, high-scoring game between these two dynamic teams.
Game #2: Wake Forest Demon Deacons @ Georgia Bulldogs, 7 PM, SEC Network Pick: Georgia -1.5 Wager: 6% Bankroll
Georgia, under Mike White, has effectively utilized the transfer portal to build a strong team, including top talent like Jalen DeLoach and R.J. Melendez. Despite losing their opener to Oregon, Georgia is poised for a rebound against Wake Forest. Our models project a comfortable win for Georgia, with a predicted margin of seven points.
Game #3: Princeton Tigers @ Hofstra Pride, 7 PM Pick: Hofstra -1.5 Wager: 6% Bankroll
Hofstra, led by Speedy Claxton, has shown impressive form over the past two seasons, including a Colonial Athletic Conference win. Despite losing their top player, Hofstra's experienced team is ready to take on Princeton, who had a strong showing in the NCAA tournament. Our projections favor Hofstra by 6.5 points in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
Game #4: Boston College Eagles @ Citadel Bulldogs, 7 PM, ESPNU Pick: Boston College -9 Wager: 6% Bankroll
Boston College, under Earl Grant, has shown significant improvement, especially defensively. Facing Citadel, which lacks a strong home-court advantage, Boston College is expected to dominate. Our model projects a substantial win for the Eagles, with an average margin of 18.5 points.
Game #5: Tennessee Volunteers @ Wisconsin Badgers, 9 PM, Peacock Pick: Tennessee ML Wager: 7% Bankroll
Tennessee, coached by Rick Barnes, holds a significant edge over Wisconsin's Greg Gard. The Volunteers have consistently ranked in the top 10 and look even stronger this year. Our model predicts Tennessee to win by 5.5 points, making the money line bet a valuable choice for a close game.
Game #6: New Orleans Pelicans @ Houston Rockets, 8 PM Pick: Zion Williamson over 4.5 Assists Wager: 5% Bankroll
Zion Williamson's status is questionable due to a personal matter, but if he plays, he's poised for a strong assist performance. With CJ McCollum out, Williamson's playmaking becomes even more crucial for the Pelicans. His impressive nine assists in the game following McCollum's injury highlight his potential. Expect Williamson to step up and distribute effectively against the Rockets.
Game #7: Charlotte Hornets @ Washington Wizards, 7 PM Pick: Kyle Kuzma over 25.5 Points Wager: 5% Bankroll
In a matchup where defense is not the priority, Kyle Kuzma stands out as a key offensive player. After scoring 33 points in their recent high-scoring encounter, Kuzma's aggressive shooting, averaging 20.0 attempts per game, positions him well to surpass the 25.5 points mark. Anticipate another high-scoring affair with Kuzma playing a central role.
Game #8: Minnesota Timberwolves @ San Antonio Spurs, 8 PM Pick: Victor Wembanyama over 1.5 Total Blocks Wager: 5% Bankroll
Victor Wembanyama, with his extraordinary defensive abilities, is a force to be reckoned with. His unique combination of size, length, instincts, and quickness makes him a dominant defensive presence. Averaging over 2 blocks per game, betting on Wembanyama to reach his average seems like a smart play. Expect him to continue his impressive blocking streak in tonight's game.
Game #9: Wyoming Cowboys @ UNLV Running Rebels, 10:45 PM, FS1 Pick: UNLV ML Wager: 7% Bankroll
Tonight's matchup is highly favorable for UNLV. Wyoming's struggles are evident, especially on the road, where they've been vulnerable against both the run and the pass. If UNLV can secure an early lead and push the pace, the game could quickly tilt in their favor. Moreover, UNLV boasts the best against-the-spread record in college football this season. Our projections favor UNLV significantly, marking them as -9.1 favorites. This gives us confidence in the value of picking UNLV at home, expecting them to capitalize on Wyoming's weaknesses and secure a decisive victory.
Game #10: Calgary Flames @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 7PM, ESPN+ Pick: Flames ML Wager: 4% Bankroll @ +125 Odds
In tonight's NHL face-off, the Calgary Flames and Toronto Maple Leafs come into the game with contrasting recent performances, a factor not yet fully reflected in the betting lines. The Flames have been climbing the analytics ladder with some of their strongest showings of the season, while the Maple Leafs have been struggling, failing to outplay their opponents in four of their last five games.
This matchup presents a valuable opportunity to back Calgary. Initially opening as +145 underdogs, the Flames' odds have been adjusted to around +125 at some sportsbooks, a move that aligns with their recent upswing. Calgary stands out in the league for its analytics, ranking 11th in expected goals-for and eighth in Corsi ratings. Their recent games have showcased this strength, with the team achieving a 65.3% expected goals-for rating in their last outing, along with a significant number of scoring and high-danger chances.
The Flames have been converting these opportunities into goals, tallying 13 in their past three games, with eight at 5-on-5. This scoring trend is expected to continue, especially considering their actual goals at 5-on-5 are lower than expected based on their production. Calgary's current 6.3% shooting percentage is one of the lowest in the NHL, despite creating above-average scoring chances. This discrepancy suggests a potential correction phase where scoring aligns more closely with their production levels.
Facing a Toronto team that has been generous in giving away chances, Calgary is well-positioned to capitalize and continue their upward trajectory. We're banking on the Flames to leverage their recent form and analytics advantage to secure a win against the Maple Leafs.
