3 Best Bets (Plus a +1014 Parlay) for Friday, February 13

The NFL season is over.
The NBA is on All-Star break.
The NHL has hit pause for the Olympics.

For most bettors, that means a quiet Friday night.

For Dimers? It’s just another day of finding edges.

While the major leagues take a breather, and your usual Discord capper takes a vacation in the Bahamas with your subscription money, our prediction models keep grinding, scanning college hardwood, international soccer pitches, and tennis courts for value. No off days. No breaks. Just data-driven best bets with measurable edges.

Here are three model-backed plays for Friday - plus a parlay if you’re feeling spicy.

Three Best Bets for Friday Night

🏀 College Basketball: Akron -12.5 vs. UMass (-115)

Akron has been untouchable at home this season.

The Zips are a perfect 12-0 on their home court, and now they welcome a UMass team whose defense is about to get stress-tested by one of the most efficient offenses in the country.

Akron ranks top 20 nationally in offensive efficiency, sits 2nd in the country in field goals made per game, and is shooting over 50% from the field as a team. If this game turns into the up-tempo contest we’re projecting, that pace plays directly into Akron’s strengths.

Our model gives Akron a 56.9% probability to cover the -12.5 spread, creating a 3.5% edge against the best available price of -115 at DraftKings.

At home. Elite offense. Fast pace. Edge on the number. That’s a green light.

🎾 Tennis: Miomir Kecmanovic vs. Ben Shelton - Under 21.5 Games (+125)

We head to the quarterfinals of the Dallas Open, where our model has identified one of the strongest edges on the board.

The Under 21.5 games at +125 (DraftKings) carries a 6% edge, which is significant in a tennis totals market.

This handicap revolves around one key factor: Ben Shelton in straight sets.

The No. 2 seed in the tournament holds a 78% match win probability according to our model. While Kecmanovic has built a reputation as a marathon man capable of grinding out long matches, this is their first-ever meeting, and stylistically, Shelton’s power and aggressive baseline play give him the tools to dictate quickly.

If Shelton handles business the way the projections expect, this likely stays short and sharp rather than stretching into a war of attrition.

⚽ LigaMX: Pumas UNAM Moneyline (+175) vs. Puebla

Now we head to Liga MX, where the value might be even juicier.

Pumas UNAM are undefeated and sitting fifth on the table, averaging nearly two goals per game while maintaining strong defensive structure. Puebla, on the other hand, have managed just one win in their first five matches to start the season and haven’t beaten Pumas in league play in nearly three years.

Despite that, we’re getting +175 at FanDuel.

Our model has identified a 4.6% edge on the Pumas moneyline, backing the in-form side against a Puebla team still searching for consistency.

Unbeaten form. Offensive firepower. Historical edge in the matchup. And plus money.

That’s the kind of spot Dimers lives for.
