This is a play on the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Toronto is mired in a six-game losing streak and yesterday, it fired head coach Mike Babcock. The Maple Leafs are now 9-10-4 on the season and sitting in fifth place in the Atlantic Division with 22 points. After the firing of their coach, this is the perfect opportunity for a team to come together. Toronto is 20-8 against the money line in its last 28 road games after allowing two goals or more in the third period. Arizona has won two straight games and four of its last five to move into second place in the Pacific Division. Both wins were shutouts on top of it so the contrarian play is to go against this streak. The Coyotes have been better on the road than at home as they are 6-4 at Gila River Arena. Here, we play against home teams when the money line is -100 to -150 off a home win by two goals or more going up against an opponent off two consecutive road losses by two goals or more. This situation is 23-7 (76.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (21) Toronto Maple Leafs

This is a play on the WYOMING COWBOYS for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. Wyoming snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Detroit on Tuesday while improving to 2-2 at home. Wyoming is holding opponents to 38 percent from the field to rank third in the MWC. Opponents are scoring 59.6 ppg, which also ranks third in the conference. Wyoming hit a season-high nine threes on Tuesday and dished out a season best 16 assists. Louisiana is also coming off a big home win as it defeated Youngstown St. at home by 12 points. The win gave Louisiana a 3-1 record and the Ragin Cajuns are now 3-0 at home early in the season. The road loss came at TCU, which is picked to finish last in the Big XII, by 33 points and they will have a challenge here playing in the thin air of Wyoming. They lost five of their top six scorers and are very thin right now because of injuries and eligibility issues. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem after beating the spread by more than 24 points in their previous game, in November games. This situation is 60-25 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (764) Wyoming Cowboys

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CFB Thursday Star Attraction. After suffering a close loss against Virginia two weeks ago to close out any chance of a bowl berth, Georgia Tech laid an egg last week against Virginia Tech 45-0 and with their season completely done, the Yellow Jackets lack any sort of motivation. They have been outgained in all but one game and that was just a six-yard advantage over Duke, a game they still lost 41-23. The Yellow Jackets are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games. There will be plenty of motivation on the NC State sidelines as after suffering through a four-game losing streak, the Wolfpack need to win their final two games to become bowl eligible. NC State has not won on the road but all of those losses came against teams going bowling or still bowl eligible. The Wolfpack are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, we play on road underdogs after allowing 31 points or more in three straight games going up against an opponent after a loss by 17 or more points. This situation is 64-27 ATS (70.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (111) NC State Wolfpack

This is a play on the HOUSTON TEXANS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. We played on Houston last week and got totally destroyed as the Texans lost 41-7 and coupled with the Indianapolis blowout of Jacksonville, they are now tied for first place in the AFC South so this game will go a long way in determining the champion. The running game will be key here. Houston held Indianapolis to just 62 rushing yards in the first meeting, by far the Colts worst showing of the season. The loss of Marlon Mack, who broke his hand against Jacksonville, makes it harder to get the ground game going. On the other side, a Colts run defense that ranks ninth in the NFL will be tested as Houston has rushed for more than 100 yards in six straight games. The Texans are in revenge mode from the 30-23 loss in the first meeting as well as the 21-7 at home in the playoffs last season. Here, we play on home favorites revenging a loss by seven points or less, off a road loss. This situation is 41-13 ATS (75.9 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (110) Houston Texans
