The Olympic break is finally over, and what a great performance by the NHL players! There was nothing more exciting than the Gold Medal game won by the U.S. 2-1 in overtime, thanks to a goal from Jack Hughes. 

But now that the Olympics and the long break are over, it’s time for the NHL to return for the final month-and-a-half before the playoffs start on April 19.

In terms of betting, a lot of teams had players dealing with nagging injuries and that should help their chances by getting them back on the ice.  Linemakers also tend to overvalue teams that performed well in the Olympics or undervalue those that performed poorly. There’s also the jet-lag factor and fatigue after enduring such physical and emotional highs and lows from the tournament.

But ultimately, motivation is what drives most teams fighting for playoff spots as we not only get closer to the playoffs, but the trade deadline (I know it’s late) on March 6.

At the point where teams desperately need wins, they will ride their number one or hot goaltender, as the backup will see less time. Knowing information about all goaltenders is crucial to making a profit late in the season.

At ATS, we opened the second half with the Under 5.5 Seattle/Dallas (4-1) for a solid winner. We expect to make 50-60 more units before the playoffs and another big score after that for two months of action. Contact us for more information on “special discounts” for the Lock Club.

Do you like the tush push? Are you tired of teams playing field positions inside the 50? Should a team get an extra point for kicking a 60-yard or longer field goal?

These are some of the key rule changes for the 2026 UFL, which kicks off on Friday, March 27. Here are the main rule changes in the UFL:

• The “tush push” will be eliminated.
• There will be no punts inside the opponent’s 50-yard line.
• There will be three PAT options: A)One-point conversion (a 33-yard field goal). B)Two-Point conversion (ball placed at the 2-yard line). C)Three-point conversion (ball placed at the 8-yard line).
• One Foot In Bounds. A legal catch will follow the NCAA rules of a player must get one foot in bounds instead of two.

Sharp bettors understand that the UFL lines are usually not adjusted until Week 3 or Week 4 at the earliest. When considering all these changes, that could mean playing a lot of overs, depending on whether the oddsmakers inflate them or not.

Having a 2 and 3-point conversion can also make the game more interesting when it comes to the spread. Underdogs, especially big ones, become more attractive because teams can score nine points in one possession.

The UFL offers 40 games with 4 games per week, from March 27 to June 14. In the first two seasons, we’ve won 72% of our top games and last season, won four straight weeks and ended the season winning 6 of 8. We know the UFL is going to be a huge success as we’re projecting over 80 units this season. Press our Contact Us button below for more information on discounts.

The NBA just finished its All-Star break, and now teams are jockeying for position for the playoffs, which start in mid-April. March is all about those teams that are vying for position and those who are tanking or playing out the string. 

At ATS, our basketball Financial Package continues to roll after North Carolina’s win over Louisville on Monday night. That came after we swept the board on Sunday in college hoops, with wins on Wisconsin over Iowa and Ohio State covering at Michigan State. Our Financial Package clients who play $250/unit won $3,000 in the last few days with ATS going 8-2.

We’re less than a week away from March, and for most bettors, that means College Basketball conference tournaments begin, followed by March Madness and the NCAA Tournament. 

But on Wednesday, another commodity re-starts and that’s the NHL, coming off their long Olympics break. The key to winning the second-half and playoffs in the NHL is to figure out which teams are impacted by the Winter Olympics. For example, Florida and Tampa Bay had the most players inthe Olympics and those players could be feeling travel fatigue considering the games just ended on Sunday. This is a lot different than a normal All-Star break, as teams with multiple injuries should also be much healthier and in better shape due to the break. That’s where research and information are key to success.

The NBA just finished its All-Star break, and now teams are jockeying for position for the playoffs, which start in mid-April. March is all about those teams, that are vying for position and those who are tanking or playing out the string. 

There’s also the NFL Draft in late April, and the NFL Combine goes later this week. But while college and the NFL are not playing real games until late August, early September, the UFL will play a regular 10-week schedule starting on March 27.

The 2026 Masters also goes April 9-12 and the WNBA tips off on May 8. There are plenty of betting opportunities aside from March Madness, which will end on April 6. Just because college basketball is over in early April doesn’t mean that betting opportunities end.

As a college basketball bettor, you may know about these Bracketology reports that are readily available on ESPN and CBS. They may not be completely accurate, but they are trying to project which teams will make the NCAA Tournament and their seedings, which ones are on the bubble and which ones (usually last four out) have work to do.

The key factor in picking any basketball game this late in the season is motivation. A team that is on the “bubble” of making the tournament should play harder than most. However, be aware that the books tend to amp up some of the lines for teams that are fighting for their lives. 

For example, ESPN’s Bracketology report had UCLA as the 11th seed before they played against Illinois on Saturday. The Bruins were a 6-point dog at home and were able to pull off the upset in overtime. The Illini had just beaten Utah, a team that was considered more on the bubble than UCLA -101-65 as an 8.5-point favorite. The Saturday line wasn’t adjusted that much, but considering Illinois’ dominance, they may have given UCLA a point or two due to motivation, but the Bruins took care of business.

As you take a look at college basketball odds in the final few weeks before the Big Dance, here are some teams on the bubble or close, that should hae serious motivation: Santa Clara (23-6), New Mexico (21-6), TCU (17-10), Cal (19-8), VCU (21-7), Ohio State (17-10), USC (18-9), Indiana (17-10), Virginia Tech (18-10), Seton Hall (19-9) San Diego State (18-8), Missouri (18-9).

At ATS, we do more than just check out Bracketology reports, considering we have a database on each team that analyzes their chances of making the tournament through many factors. We understand which college teams are on the bubble and which teams are underachieving because they have a lot of talented guys making boatloads of money, which creates a disconnect with the rest of the team. Some players are just looking for stats so they can make more money, instead of playing for the goals of the team.

This past week, we swept the board on Sunday in college hoops, with wins on Wisconsin over Iowa and Ohio State covering at Michigan State. Our Financial Package clients who play $250/unit won $2,250.

The NBA returns tonight, and bettors are happy that there is another option to bet on other than college basketball. 

The one major thing bettors have to be aware of is teams that tank, but also squads that are resting players when the playoffs are near. 

Tanking has been going on for years, but this season there appears to be more teams than ever doing so, especially when the 2026 Draft is absolutely loaded, led by Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson, Kingston Flemings and Darius Acuff Jr. So teams are shutting down players for the season (Sacramento), listing players who have minor injuries out for an extended period of time (Washington) or just cutting talented players (Brooklyn).

Pay attention to the standings and injury reports (ESPN.com, CBSSports, SportsEthos) along with those teams that are playing just backups. Some of those guys are talented and sometimes the pace of play or defenses improve or decline with these additions.

Another key stat is the fourth-quarter margin, which shows teams that are actually trying but also have the talent. Washington (-3.8), Sacramento (-3.3) and Memphis (-1.3) are at the bottom, to nobody’s surprise.

But if you want to save all the time it will take to figure out tanking, you should stay away from those teams because it’s not worth the risk. 

At ATS, it’s our job to figure out who tanks, which teams are about load management and which ones are actually trying to win. Handicapping the NBA can be difficult without the proper information or experience. We’ve been making a profit for 34 years, and we don’t consider tanking a roadblock to earning a profit. It just makes us work harder to figure out how to beat the odds-again.

Even without the NBA this past week, ATS has done well over the last week, winning our top play in 7 of the last 8 days.

ATS Basketball is set for a huge run as $100/unit players are expected to win over $10,000 through the NCAA Championship game on April 6, and $250/unit players are set to win $25,000. This weekend, we’re targeting to break that projected barrier by winning 40 units+ and gaining $4,000+ for our $100/unit clients and $10,000 for our 250s.
