PHILADELPHIA -105
The Penguins did a lot of retooling in the offseason after being knocked out by the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs. The Flyers have the same core and they should be much more comfortable playing together with the absence of a preseason. I would give the Flyers the goaltending and defensive edge with Carter Hart in net over Tristan Jarry, take the Flyers at home.

I'm also taking the Oilers on the puckline at -1.5 (+230) to open the season as this line is priced as if these teams are much closer than they actually are in this season opener.

The Oilers offer nice value to start the season on home ice as my simulations make them -150 against the Canucks. Look for a hot start to the season for the top line of Nugent-Hopkins/McDavid/Kassian. I also really love the PP unit with Draisaitl and Tyson Barrie. Lay it.

TEXAS A&M @ MISS. STATE | 01/13 | 9:00 PM EST
MISS. STATE -6.5
ANALYSIS: The Aggies started strong this season but have faltered in SEC play, going 1-3 with all three losses by 14 or more. The Bulldogs are 3-1 in conference play and have averaged 81-plus points in their last seven games. Mississippi State has covered four of its last five as a home favorite, while A&M enters on a 2-7 ATS skid overall. Lay the points.

L.A. LAKERS @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 01/13 | 8:00 PM EST
UNDER 218
ANALYSIS: Both these teams played Tuesday night, so there could be some tired legs -- which usually means shots coming up short. All six Lakers road games have gone Under this season, and they could be without Anthony Davis (see news feed story). The under is 5-2 in the past seven for OKC, which may rest Al Horford.

NICHOLLS ST. @ NORTHWESTERN ST. | 01/13 | 7:30 PM EST
NICHOLLS ST. -6.5
ANALYSIS: Nicholls State has covered 16 of its last 23 road games and has won its last two trips to Northwestern State. The Colonels, who have scored 76-plus points in four straight games, should take care of business against the 2-12 Demons. Lay the points.

NORTHWESTERN @ OHIO ST. | 01/13 | 7:00 PM EST
OHIO ST. -8.5
ANALYSIS: Since Northwestern edged Ohio State 71-70 on Dec. 26, the Wildcats have lost three straight in blowout fashion. The Buckeyes have won their last six home games by an average of 20.6 points. They're also on a 20-7 ATS run at home. Lay the points.

NOTRE DAME 2 @ VIRGINIA 3 | 01/13 | 4:30 PM EST
VIRGINIA -9.5
ANALYSIS: The Fighting Irish have dropped five of six and are struggling offensively. Over their last three games, they're averaging 61.6 points. Now they visit a Virginia team that just limited B.C. to 49 points and is holding opponents to 40.4 percent from the field all season. When these teams met in South Bend, Ind., UVA won by nine. Look for the Cavaliers to improve to 5-0 ATS in their last five vs. losing teams.

TEXAS TECH @ TEXAS | 01/13 | 9:00 PM EST
TEXAS -2
ANALYSIS: The Red Raiders shot a season-best 58.9 percent last time out at Iowa State, but will find it much harder against a Longhorns team allowing a conference-low 38.3 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from beyond the arc. This is Shaka Smart's best Texas team, and this is a massive rivalry game. Texas Tech has won its last two visits to Austin, so you can be sure this will be an all-in effort from Texas. Lay the small number.

MILWAUKEE @ DETROIT | 01/13 | 7:00 PM EST
OVER 226.5
ANALYSIS: The Over has cashed in four straight meetings, and also in Milwaukee's last five visits to Detroit. When these teams met a week ago, they generated 245 points. Look for the Bucks to push the pace and go Over.
