Friday card has a TOP CFL Platinum Supreme move and our Famous Friday night Hot side headlining in CFB in BIG 10 Action. NHL Comp play below

The NHL comp play is on Colorado -1.5 goals at 9:05 eastern. The Avalanche after a hot start have cooled down a bit, but tonight they are in a rare system that plays on home favorites at -180 or higher that are off a home favored loss and scored 2 or less goals and are taking on a team like Pittsburgh that is on off a road favored loss if the total in this game is higher than 6. There have been 5 teams fitting this criteria since 2007. All have won by more than 1 goal. Colorado has won 4 of in the series and we will back them to get the multiple goal win. GL Rob V-

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #209239 Atlante/Pumas UNAM DRAW (+235) (11 p.m., Friday, October 16 Fox Sports Deportes) Liga MX.

We see value in the draw between two sides struggling to find consistency. Atlante has shared the points in five of its first 11 league matches, including three of five at home. With just one home victory, the hosts have had trouble turning competitive performances into wins. Pumas UNAM has defensive concerns of its own, conceding 11 goals over its last five matches. That makes the visitors difficult to trust to claim all three points on the road. We expect a closely contested matchup with chances for both teams, but neither side doing enough to pull away. At +235, take the draw. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring top plays in football, hockey, UFC and soccer.

Saturday FREE NCAAF ATS Play

My selection is on Washington plus the points over Purdue at 8 pm et on Friday.

The Boilermakers are coming off consecutive 'upset' wins over Illinois and Minnesota and are being asked to lay points against the reeling Huskies on Friday. Washington is likely going to be without QB Demond Williams but I don't know if that's as big of a deal as it's being made out to be as he has struggled mightily this season. Backup QB Elijah Brown performed well in mop-up duty against Iowa last week and has starting experience from his time spent with Stanford. I look for the Huskies defense to bounce back here after an embarrassing performance at home against a good Iowa team last week. Note that Washington had held its first five opponents to 27 points or less prior to that 41-24 beatdown. Purdue has played well defensively over the last couple of games but I do wonder if it's sustainable. This is the same team that got torn to shreds by UCLA and Notre Dame earlier in the season (I realize Washington's offense isn't close to being at that level this season). Take Washington (8*).

Penguins vs Avalanche NHL FREE PICK

The Angle(s): The Pittsburgh Penguins can score, but their defense is leaking. They just gave up five goals to Chicago, and their young netminder Sergei Murashov stopped only 15 shots in that loss.

That’s a dangerous combination against a Colorado attack averaging close to 4.5 goals per game, but the Avs aren’t airtight either, allowing about three goals per game. Recent meetings have opened up, and I expect both teams to find the back of the net often enough to push this past the number.

Ricky's 1* play on PUR.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Purdue are 3-1 in their last 4 games.

- Washington are 0-3 in their last 3 games.

- Purdue are 3-1 in their last 4 home games.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.
