This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our ACC Game of the Month. Clemson has gotten off to a rough start as it is just 3-2 with two of those wins coming by just six points each. The Tigers have been horrible on offense but the good news is that they are coming off a bye week to try and get things straightened out which they should be able to do with the talent on this roster. Because of the slow start, Clemson is 0-5 against the number but this is a great spot with great value to put an end to that. The Tigers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a road favorite. Syracuse is coming off a brutal loss as it fell to Wake Forest in overtime by three points in overtime. That puts the Orange in a tough spot here not only because of that but because they are on a short week and playing a powerhouse off a bye. They have been competitive but they are getting Clemson at the wrong time. Syracuse has covered four straight games which is also adding to the value in this number. Syracuse is 7-19 ATS in its last 26 games off a loss by seven points or less to a conference rival. Here we play on road favorites with a first half defense allowing 8.0 or less, after a win by six or less points. This situation is 23-4 ATS (85.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (115) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Minnesota has made the playoffs in eight of the last nine seasons but has nothing to show for it as the last time Minnesota made it beyond Round One of the playoffs was in 2014-15, and they had to score 17 goals in the first round to do it. The Wild did not really make any major moves in the offseason so they have to shore up somethings that held them back last season, namely shots and the power play where they finished No. 28 and No. 24 respectively. That completely made the offense non-existent at times and put a lot of pressure on the defense. They plan to be more aggressive this season and will be looking to jump out to a big start to open the season. Anaheim opened the season with a 4-1 win against Winnipeg at home. Anaheim finished with the second fewest points in the league last season with 43 and while it was competitive on the road, the Ducks were just 6-18-4 at home so getting off to a 1-0 start was pretty big but we do not them sustaining that here. The Wild are 37-18 in their last 55 games as a favorite while the Ducks are 5-21 in their last 26 games as a home underdog. 10* (83) Minnesota Wild

This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. The Astros and Red Sox meet for the third time in the postseason since 2017 so these teams are very familiar with each other which should make for a very competitive series. Houston was the more dominant team in the ALDS as it outscored the White Sox 31-18 while averaging 7.8 rpg with pretty much the same lineup. Houston has a better overall pitching staff with a 3.78 season ERA compared to 4.26 for Boston. Framber Valdez will likely get the start for the Astros as he has been pushed back because of the Game Three rainout and he has posted a 3.14 ERA while going 11-6 in 23 games. Chris Sale will get the Game One start which is a bit surprising because of his recent struggles as he has recorded just 10 outs over his past two starts, lasting only one inning in Game Two of the ALDS against the Rays. Houston is 16-4 in 20 home games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .540 and .620 while the Red Sox are 6-15 in their last 21 games as an underdog. Here, we play against road teams with a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or fewer hits per start, after two straight games where their bullpen blew a save. This situation is 151-86 (63.7 percent) since 1997. 10* (902) Houston Astros

It has been up and down year for Marshall as it is 3-3 and will look to get back over .500 with a win here. The Thundering Herd have put together four straight winning seasons including last year when they opened 7-0 before losing their final two games and their bowl game. The defense has been the story this year as in its three wins, Marshall has allowed just 10 ppg but in its three losses, it has allowed 35.7 ppg and that defense should be in full force tonight. Marshall is 32-16 ATS in its last 48 games after failing to cover the spread in four or five out of their last six games. North Texas is 1-4 including a 0-4 record against FBS teams. They put up a solid effort against Missouri last week or was it? They fell behind 41-14 before scoring three touchdowns in garbage time and of their 493 total yards, 208 came on those final three drives. The Mean Green are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog. Here, we play against home underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points after one or more consecutive wins against the spread. This situation is 85-39 ATS (68.5 percent) over the last five seasons. Play (117) Marshall Thundering Herd
