The Dallas Stars lost to the Edmonton Oilers last week north of the border in overtime, 1-0, so revenge will be on their minds tonight when they get a chance to even the score at American Airlines Center. The Oilers are on a 3-game winning streak but their road record is not impressive, at 6-7-1, and they are just 1-6 in their last 7 away from Rogers Place. Dallas is also on a roll, winning their last two. The Stars have an impressive home record of 8-3-1 and are 6-1 in their last 7 against Edmonton at American Airlines Center.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS
Month: December 2018
Sunday NFL Pick
The Sunday night game will be at Heinz Field with the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Los Angeles Chargers. Philip Rivers was spectacular last week, but let’s not forget who the Chargers opponent was, the Arizona Cardinals. The Chargers are 8-3 on the season, but only one of those wins was against a team that currently has a winning record, the Seattle Seahawks, who are barely over 500, at 6-5. Los Angeles is averaging 27.4 points per game on the road but tonight they will be without their standout running back, Melvin Gordon, who has rushed for 802 yards with 9 TDs and that will hurt. The Steelers are 7-3-1 and can light it up at home, averaging 35.4 points per game. Le’Veon Bell’s replacement, James Conner, has been getting it done with 849 rushing yards and 10 TDs. The Steelers have won 6 of their last 7 and are always a force at home. If the Curtain, who have been prone to turnovers this year, hold on to the ball, they should get the win. Consider the Steelers on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS M/L
Saturday NHL Pick
When the Boston Bruins take the ice at TD Garden, good things usually happen – they win. Tonight that is where they will be when they host another Original Six team, the Detroit Red Wings. The Bruins are 9-2-0 at home on the season and have a record of 37-15 in their last 52 at TD Garden. Now that’s impressive. To say Detroit has had issues with Boston would be an understatement. The Red Wings are 2-8 in their last 10 meetings with the Bruins and 0-11 in their last 11 trips to Boston. To stack the cards against the Red Wings even more, Tuukka Rask is expected between the pipes for Boston and he is 13-5-3 lifetime in the regular season against Detroit.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
