Coach starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day: Under 4.5 teams goals (-125) for Manchester United against Burnley (3 p.m. ET). 

McClure has two plays from college basketball. The first is Syracuse (-3.5) to cover against Boston College (8 p.m. ET). "[The Orange have] really found their rhythm again," he says. "They've won and covered three consecutive games where they've scored 94, 89, 92 points."

He also likes Marquette (+6.5) to cover against UConn (6:30 p.m. ET). "This Marquette team has been awesome on the road and as an underdog this season," he says.

Cimini also has two college basketball plays. The first is Purdue (-6) to cover against Illinois (9 p.m. ET). "I'm going to ride with Purdue because of [its] home record: 23-2 over the last two years," he says.

He also is taking Toledo (-3) to cover against Ohio (7 p.m. ET). "This is a rematch where Toledo beat Ohio by 18 points a couple weeks ago," he says. "It's Ohio's only non-Power Five loss of the year."

Barner's lone play comes from the NBA: the Celtics (-6) to cover against the Nets (7:30 p.m. ET). "[The Nets] are a mess right now," he says. "They've lost eight straight. Each of their last four losses have come by at least 10 points."

Hartstein closes out the show with a player prop from Super Bowl LVI (6:30 p.m. ET Sunday): Bengals running back Samaje Perine to go Over 1.5 catches (+105). "He's gone over this in eight of 12 games," Hartstein says.
