Month: March 2017

Friday NHL Pick

The struggling Buffalo Sabres were blanked 2-0 in last night’s contest with the Los Angeles Kings and they will be playing back-to-back games tonight when they make the short trip to Honda Center to take on the Anaheim Ducks. Buffalo is 1-5-1 in their last 7 games and they have struggled against Anaheim. The Sabres are 1-6 in their last 7 meetings with the Ducks and 1-6 in their last 7 trips to Honda Center. Anaheim’s Captain Ryan Getzlaf is heating up, notching 3 goals with 9 assists over his last 7 games. Anaheim should coast to victory tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Anaheim Ducks

Thursday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The Nevada Wolf Pack will be getting 6.5 points tonight when they face the Iowa State Cyclones at BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Pack have been on a roll, winning 9 in a row, and covering all of those 9, and they are 38-15-2 ATS in their last 55 games overall. We know the Cyclones can put up some numbers and are one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the nation but opponents of Nevada shot just 30.7% from beyond the arc. I’ll side with the Pack in this one who have the edge in free throws, defense and rebounding.

Tonight’s pick:

Nevada Wolf Pack +6.5

Wednesday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The IPFW Mastodons will be laying 4.5 points today against the Ball State Cardinals and this is one they should cover. The ‘Dons might not be on their home court but they may as well be since this game is being played at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. IPFW knows how to find the basket, averaging 87.7 points per game and are ranked 14th in offensive field goal percentage shooting. If you flip it over, Ball State averages 78.7 points per game and are ranked 73rd in offensive field goal percentage shooting. We can’t do any head-to-head matchups on this one since these two teams haven’t played each other since 2008 but the Mastodons have the edge in points per game, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding and turnovers. I like the ‘Dons here.

Tonight’s pick:

IPFW Mastodons -4.5

Tuesday NHL Pick

The Buffalo Sabres will be out west tonight to take on the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks are by far the superior team in this matchup but for some reason the Sabres have had success against them. Buffalo is 14-3-1 in their last 18 meetings with San Jose and 5-0 in their last 5 trips to SAP Center. The Sabres are a big underdog tonight so why not take a shot?

Tonight’s pick:

Buffalo Sabres

Monday NHL Pick

The Nashville Predators return home tonight from their west coast road trip to face the reeling Winnipeg Jets. The Jets have lost 3 in a row, are 14-15-5-0 on the road and 3-8 in their last 11 games in Nashville. The Predators are a good home team with a record of 19-8-5-2 and I see them notching a home victory tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Nashville Predators

Sunday NHL Pick

The Dallas Stars will have their work cut out for them tonight when they take their 9-18-4-0 road record into the SAP Center to face the San Jose Sharks. The Stars are 1-8 in their last 9 against the Western Conference and 3-8 in their last 11 in San Jose. The number in this one is high and the reason for that is San Jose is 21-8-3-1 at home.

Tonight’s pick:

San Jose Sharks

Saturday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The Nevada Wolf Pack will prove they’re the best in the Mountain West when they play the Colorado State Rams in a matinee today at the Thomas & Mack Center. The Wolf Pack are 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 games against a team with a straight up winning record and knocked off the Rams on March 4th, 85-72. In the last 6 matchups between the Pack and the Rams, the favorite is 6-0 ATS. Nevada has the edge in points per game, field goal percentage and rebounding. The Pack cover the points today.

Today’s pick:

Nevada Wolf Pack -5
