Today’s pick:
Hawaii Warriors -8.5
Month: January 2016
Saturday NHL Picks
Minnesota takes their dismal 7-6-6 road record to Dallas today. These two clubs met on December 21 and the Stars won 6-3. The Wild are 4-22 in their last 26 in Dallas and 1-4 in their last 5 meetings. Stars will light it up tonight.
Toronto is in San Jose tonight and I see Sharks getting a rare home win. The Leafs are 1-10 in their last 11 meetings and 1-4 in their last 5 at the SAP Center. Sharks tonight.
Today’s picks:
Dallas Stars
San Jose Sharks
Friday NBA Pick
The red hot Oklahoma City Thunder take their talents to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are playing back to back games, losing a close one to Sacramento last night. These 2 teams met twice in December and the Thunder pummeled LA, winning by 40 and 35 points. Why should things be any different tonight? I’m taking the Thunder and laying the 14.
Tonight’s Pick:
Oklahoma City Thunder -14
Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The 8-6 Old Dominion Monarchs and the 12-2 Louisiana Tech Bull Dogs clash tonight in Ruston, Louisiana. Old Dominion comes into this matchup with a 0-4 road record and the Bull Dogs are a perfect 9-0 at home. On the road, Monarchs are averaging 69 points per game and are surrendering an average of 68 points per game. The Bull Dogs can light it up on their home court, averaging 83.4 and allowing an average of 68. Louisiana Tech has the edge in points per game, field goals, rebounding, and bench. The Bull Dogs should cover the 3.
Tonight’s pick:
Louisiana Tech Bull Dogs -3
Wednesday NHL Pick
The Toronto Maple Leafs open their West coast road trip tonight when they face the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center. Toronto has had success against Anaheim, taking the last 6 out of 7 contests. However, December’s Rookie of the Month John Gibson is expected between the pipes and might have something to say about that. Over his last 4 wins he has been nothing but spectacular, posting 2 shutouts along with a 0.75 GAA and .963 SV%. The Ducks have a respectable 10-5-4 home record and the Leafs are a mediocre 8-9-2 on the road. Siding with So. Cal in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Anaheim Ducks
Tuesday NHL Pick
The Washington Capitals continue their 5 game road trip tonight when they travel to TD Garden to take on the Boston Bruins. Washington is experiencing a rare 2 game losing streak but have won the last 4 against Boston. The Capitals have been dominant on the road, posting a 13-4-2 record. On the flip side, Boston has been far from stellar with a 9-10-2 home record. Braden Holtby is expected in net tonight for the Capitals and has been spectacular with a 24-4-2 record, a GAA of 1.92 and .932 SV%. I expect the Capitals to come out strong tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
Monday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick
The Manhattan Jaspers host the Siena Saints tonight in Riverdale, New York. These two teams met December 4, 2015 and the Saints clobbered Manhattan 89-54. Why not again?
Tonight’s pick:
Siena Saints -3
