This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS for our Friday Free Play. Wisconsin is off to a 2-1 start but it is a misleading one. The Badgers defeated Buffalo is their season opener and the Bulls are one of the worst teams in the FBS as they are 0-3 and ranked No. 128. Wisconsin then travelled to Washington St. where it actually outgained the Cougars but lost because of a -3 turnover differential which was foreshadowing to last week. They picked up a 21-point win over Georgia Southern despite getting outgained 455-451 as they benefitted from six turnovers from the Eagles. There has been at least a two-turnover differential in all three games so there is not a clear picture of how Wisconsin actually is in an equal scenario yet it comes in favored on the road in its Big 10 opener. Purdue is 1-2 as it lost to a very good Fresno St. team to open the season with a late touchdown by the Bulldogs to seal it. The Boilermakers took care of Virginia Tech on the road as they outgained the Hokies by 141 total yards and then last week saw a misleading final as they were outgained only 455-403 against Syracuse but lost the turnover battle 4-1 and were unable to contain the Orange rushing game. 11 penalties for 127 yards did not help matters either. They face another good rushing attack this week but Purdue is still allowing only 3.9 ypc and can slow the Badgers down and the back half of the defense has been good by allowing only 56.6 percent completions. Offensively, the Boilermakers have been efficient through the air with quarterback Hudson Card, a transfer from Texas, upping his completion percentage each game while throwing for three touchdowns and just one interception. Purdue has played the tougher schedule, ranked No. 26 compared to Wisconsin at No. 77 and a cleaner game here can get them the outright win. Play (308) Purdue Boilermakers Fargo is coming off a 4-3 Saturday in College Football and he has put together a POTENT +$8,120 profitable run on the college gridiron over the last two plus seasons! Week Four is going to be a MASSIVE one and it begins Thursday night! NINE Winners for Week 4! |

Mets +105 at Ace |
Won $105 |
| Play Type: Free | ||
|
This is a play on the NEW YORK METS for our Wednesday Free Play. The Marlins bats came alive when needed this past weekend as they scored 36 runs in their three-game sweep over Atlanta. To put that in perspective, they scored 28 runs in their previous nine games and have scored just five runs in the first two games of this series. Miami one of four teams within a game and a half of the final two Wild Card spots in the National League. New York opened this series with a 2-1 win on Monday but lost last night on a walk off single. The Mets faced Braxton Garrett on Tuesday and once again struggled to solve lefty pitching ad they are now 15-32 against southpaw starters but are 55-49 against right-handed starters. They square off against rookie sensation Eury Perez and it will not be easy but he has not been the same since being out of the rotation for a month. He posted a 2.36 ERA through his first 11 starts but in his last seven starts since coming back, he has a 4.11 ERA that includes just two quality outings. Kodai Senga would be the frontrunner for N.L. Rookie of the Year is not for Corbin Carroll as he has had a sensational season. He has a 2.95 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 27 starts and he has accounted for 23 percent of the Mets victories. He has allowed three runs or less in 14 straight starts including two runs or fewer 12 times.

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BREWERS for our MLB Signature Sweet Spot. Milwaukee snapped a two-game slide with a 7-3 win on Tuesday to keep its lead in the National League Central at six games over the Cubs with 11 games remaining. The Brewers improved to 40-36 on the road for +6.9 units and yet come in as the slight underdogs tonight. St. Louis had won two straight games including the milestone 200th win for Adam Wainwright and losses have been contagious all season. The Cardinals are now 17 games under .500 and they have dropped of their last 17 games following a loss including six of seven when the first loss follows a win. After a rough July and August where he posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in nine starts, Adrian Houser was put on the IL but he returned last week and put up a solid effort against Miami, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over five innings. His return is crucial for the late and postseason for the Brewers. Zack Thompson got back into the rotation in early August after one June start and was solid with a 3.90 ERA in six starts but posted his worst outing last time out where he allowed four runs over five innings against the Phillies. His last three starts have all been in fact his worst since his return and now he is favored once again. 10* (961) Milwaukee Brewers |

Pirates +155 at Ace |

|
This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PIRATES for our MLB Signature Sweet Spot. After losing the opener of this series 14-1 on Tuesday, the Pirates bats responded with a 13-7 win last night as they roughed up Justin Steele in the fourth inning. Pittsburgh has won five of its last eight games and will continue to play spoiler the remainder of the season and catching a number here. Chicago has seen a likely playoff spot go to far from a guarantee quickly as it has lost six of its last seven games and is 3-9 over its last 12 games. The Cubs still remain in the No. 3 spot in the National League Wild Card, percentage points ahead of Miami but are one of four teams within two and a half games vying for two spots. Johan Oviedo has been pitching well down the stretch following a mid-August blip. He has posted a 2.73 ERA over his last five starts which includes a complete game shutout in the mix. He has allowed three runs or less in 17 of his last 23 outings. Kyle Hendricks has followed a similar path this season although he has been a little more inconsistent of late making him an overpriced favorite. Chicago had a nice run of going 7-2 in a nine-start stretch but the Cubs have gone just 4-7 in his last 11 outings. 10* (907) Pittsburgh Pirates |

NCAA-F | Sep 21, 2023 Georgia State vs Coastal Carolina |
Coastal Carolina -6½ -110 at Caesars |

| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
This is a play on the COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS for our CFB Thursday Star Attraction. Georgia St. is off to a 3-0 start with both FBS wins coming by at least 16 points. The Panthers have yet to be tested and they did get a scare in their opener against Rhode Island of the FCS as they won by a touchdown with the difference maker ending being an interception returned for a score. They are coming off their first road game of the season which came against a bad Charlotte team that is expected to finish near the bottom of the 14-team AAC. A bright spot was quarterback Darren Grainger who went off for 466 yards on 27-33 passing and three touchdowns. He will be facing a much tougher test against a Coastal Carolina defense that is allowing just 202 ypg passing on only 55.4 percent completions. The Chanticleers rolled over Duquesne last week in their FCS game and while that was not a good indicator of what to expect, they do have one solid opponent they have played. Coastal Carolina went to UCLA and played the Bruins tough as they fell 27-13 and it was a one-point game going into the fourth quarter and just a one possession game with less than six minutes remaining. That made it four straight losses for the Chanticleers going back to last season but all of those game were away from home and they have rolled in their two home games since and going back, the SBC contenders are 21-2 in their last 23 home games with one of those losses coming against Georgia St. two years ago by two points. As a matter of fact, these teams have met over the last six years with the home team yet to win and that streak finally comes to an end this season behind the best player on the field in quarterback Grayson McCall who can show his stuff in a stand alone game. 10* (304) Coastal Carolina Chanticleers |

NFL | Sep 21, 2023 Giants vs 49ers |
Giants +10½ -108 at Ace |
|
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
This is a play on the NEW YORK GIANTS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Dominator. The advance line opened at 9.5 and moved to 10 by Sunday night following the Saquon Barkley injury and has now shot up to 10.5 and 11 in some spots after the news that Barkley will be out a few games. it is a big blow to both Barkley, who is playing for a contract and incentives, and to the Giants but nothing they cannot get past here. The early money is all over San Francisco for obvious reasons and it will likely continue to pour in on the 49ers leading into Thursday. New York is coming off a must needed win and it took a huge second half comeback and while it takes a big step up in competition here, the linesmakers know that. After six quarters of dreadful offense, the Giants finally got things going in the second half against the Cardinals and they can carry that momentum into Thursday. It is a short week with a second consecutive road game but New York stayed out west so it is not at a big disadvantage from that standpoint. The 49ers have won both of their games without much resistance from the Steelers or Rams and while coming into the season as a public team, they are even more so now. From a situational standpoint, they do not have an edge here coming off a divisional game while also playing on a short week in the same timeframe. The defense did show vulnerabilities against the pass last week as they were unable to contain rookie Puka Nacua despite him being targeted 20 times. This is a spot where the Giants rookie Jalin Hyatt could see more coming his way after being targeted only twice last week but gaining 89 yards. Offensively, quarterback Brock Purdy has been decent yet unspectacular and the Giants defense can build on its momentum as well. Excellent contrarian spot. Here, we play on road teams after playing their last game on the road, in the first month of the season. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (301) New York Giants |
