Coach starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day: Manchester United (-123) to beat Brentford (3 p.m. ET). "Brentford, their last 10 matches, they've allowed a goal in every single one, and when Man United gets up, they don't look back," he says.
Mike's lone play comes in college basketball: LSU (+4) to cover at Alabama (7 p.m. ET). "LSU should be able to win some of their rebounding battles, especially when they have the ball," he says. "I'm looking for second chance points."
Justin also has a college basketball play: New Hampshire (-2) to cover against Hartford (7 p.m. ET). "Hartford isn't that great," he says. "They've lost eight of nine games in which they've been an underdog."
Zack closes out the show with two plays from college basketball. The first is Creighton (-3.5) to cover against St. John's (7 p.m. ET). "I think [the Bluejays] learn from their growing pains in Big East play, and they get the win at home against St. John's," he says.
He also likes Virginia (-3.5) to cover against Pitt (9 p.m. ET). "I think [the Cavaliers] are going to clamp down defensively," he says.
