Two elite teams in the Atlantic 10 will meet tonight when the URI Rams host the VCU Rams. Rhode Island has been killing it at home, with a record of 9-1, as well as in conference play where they are 7-1. On the other side, Virginia Commonwealth is a respectable 4-2 on the road and 6-2 in conference play. This should be a tight one but URI has the edge. They are averaging 74.6 points per game at home and allowing an average of 66.1, as opposed to VCU on the road, where they are averaging 70.8 points per game and allowing an average of 67.8. Rhode Island won the last meeting on January 11th, 65-56, in Richmond so why should tonight be any different?
TONIGHT’S PICK: RHODE ISLAND RAMS M/L
Month: January 2020

Wednesday NHL Pick
The Tampa Bay Lightning fell to the Dallas Stars on Monday but look for them to get back in the Win column tonight when they take on the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center.

Tuesday NHL Pick
The Buffalo Sabres will start the second half of the season tonight at home against the Ottawa Senators. The Sens will be playing back-to-back games after falling to the New Jersey Devils last night, 4-3, so fatigue could be an issue. Ottawa is just 5-15-4 on the road and Buffalo is a force at KeyBank Center, with a record of 14-6-3. The Sabres will have payback on their minds tonight after losing to the Senators in their last meeting, 3-1. Buffalo hasn’t laced up since January 18th but if rust isn’t a factor, they will cruise to an easy victory.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
