Friday NCAA-Men’s Basketball Pick

Two Metro Atlantic teams will square off tonight when the Canisius Golden Griffins travel to Riverdale, NY to take on the Manhattan Jaspers. The last time these two teams met, the boys from Western New York prevailed in a 65-62 win. The Griffins are ranked 151 in offensive field goal percentage, as opposed to the Jaspers who are ranked 220. Canisius has the edge in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, defense and turnovers. I’m siding with the boys from Buffalo tonight and taking the points.

Tonight’s pick:

Canisius Golden Griffins +4

Thursday NHL Pick

The Washington Capitals have been licking their wounds after losing on Saturday 4-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but a visit from the New York Islanders tonight should brighten their spirits. The Isles are an awful 1-6-1-0 on the road this season and have struggled against the Capitals, going 3-7 in the last 10 meetings, and 1-5 in the last 6 at Verizon Center. This should be an easy one for Washington tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Washington Capitals
