The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost two in a row and who would they rather have visit PPG Paints Arena to get out of their funk other than the Arizona Coyotes? No one. Arizona is 2-12-2-0 on the season, with a road record of 1-7-1-0, and they are 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Pittsburgh. Take the Champs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Month: November 2017
Monday NHL Pick
The Minnesota Wild will travel to TD Garden tonight to take on the Boston Bruins. The Wild is a good dog bet tonight. Minnesota is 14-6 in the last 20 meetings with the Bruins, 8-2 in their last 10 trips to Boston and the Bruins pesky Brad Marchand is not likely to lace up.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD
Sunday NFL Pick
The Denver Broncos are a 7-point dog today when they travel to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are 7-1 on the season and have been riding a 6-game winning streak but all good things come to an end. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings against the Eagles. Brock Osweiler is at the helm for Denver and he has shown moments of brilliance. The Broncos defense is stellar and they should shut down the Eagles offense today.
TODAY’S PICK: DENVER BRONCOS +7

Friday College Football Pick
The 6-2 Marshall Thundering Herd will travel to Boca Raton tonight to take on the 5-3 Florida Atlantic Owls. The Herd covers, going 6-2-0 ATS in their last 8 games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning record. Marshall is averaging 28.4 points per game and holding teams to an average of 17.6. The Owls can put up points, averaging 39.5 points per game but allowing an average of 26.8. Florida Atlantic has trouble covering at home. They are 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 home games. Depending on where you got the line, it opened at anywhere from -9.5 to -8 FAU and has dropped to -6.5. Sharp money is starting to go on the Herd.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD +6.5
Thursday NHL Pick
The Los Angeles Kings will return home tonight to Staples Center after a 6-game road trip to host the Toronto Maple Leafs and payback will be on their minds. The Kings suffered their first regulation loss to the Leafs, 3-2, on October 23rd in Toronto. Los Angeles is off to a great start at 9-2-1-0 and are 4-0-1-0 at Staples Center. Toronto is 8-5-0-0 and 4-2-0-0 on the road, and will be playing back-to-back games after knocking off Anaheim last night at Honda Center, 3-1. The home team is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two clubs and Jonathan Quick is expected between the pipes for the Kings. If anyone is going to slow down the Leaf’s potent offense, he will, with a .942 SV% and a GAA of 1.89.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS
Wednesday World Series Pick
It’s been 29 years since the Los Angeles Dodgers last won the World Series and the Houston Astros have yet to win one. Who gets it tonight? I’m leaning Dodgers in this one. Yu Darvish will take the hill for LA and will have a chance to redeem himself after a poor outing in Game 3. Despite that performance, he is is 2-1 in his last 3 turns, with an ERA of 4.15, and a 1.23 WHIP. The other Game 3 starter, Lance McCullers Jr., will get the nod for Houston. Over his last 3 outings, McCullers is 1-1, with an ERA of 5.17, and a WHIP of 1.28. After last night’s loss, Houston is now 1-5 in their last 6 road playoff games, and 2-8 in their last 10 games at Chavez Ravine. LA figured out Houston’s ace last night, Justin Verlander, and should do the same with McCullers tonight, and oh yeah, Dodger Stadium will be electric.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
