🔥 Free Play Blog — December 16, 2025

Bowl Game + College Basketball Focus

Overtime hurt the free plays yesterday — that’s the reality sometimes — but we’re right back to work today. We have four total plays on the card, with a strong focus on college basketball, and we wanted to make sure we still gave everyone a free play for today’s bowl game.

We’ll be here every day. We won’t win every single slate, but the overall record is solid, the process is consistent, and we continue to improve little by little with each card.

Below are today’s free plays.

🏈 NCAAF FREE PLAY — Troy vs Jacksonville State

Pick: Troy -1.5

Reason:This matchup profiles as close to a pick’em, but Troy’s defensive consistency and turnover margin give them the edge. In tight games like this, Troy has been the more disciplined team, and the projection leans toward a narrow Troy win by a field goal.

🏀 NCAAB FREE PLAY — East Tennessee State @ North Carolina

Pick: ETSU +15.5

Reason:North Carolina should win the game, but the spread is inflated. ETSU profiles well offensively and typically avoids blowout scenarios. UNC controls the game, but ETSU does enough to keep this inside the number.
