The Tampa Bay Lightning are hot, winning 8 straight, but so are the Arizona Coyotes and that is who the Bolts will be hosting tonight at Amalie Arena. If anyone can slow down Tampa, it’s Arizona. The Coyotes have won 4 straight and notched 18 goals during that span. On the road, they are an impressive 14-6-3 and have won 2 of the last 3 meetings with the Lightning. Arizona is a big dog in this one and worth a shot.

Saturday NFL Pick
The Houston Texans will be spotting the Buffalo Bills 2.5 points today when they host the Western New Yorkers in the Wild Card Game. The last time the Bills won a playoff game was with Jim Kelly and the K-Gun Offense but that drought ends today. The Bills’ stingy defense is ranked third in the league, allowing an average of only 16.2 points per game. Buffalo’s Devin Singletary is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and will move the chains against a Houston team that is ranked 25th against the rush. Buffalo was on the losing end in last year’s matchup with Houston but this is not the same team from a year ago. The Bills are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road dog and get it done today.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +2.5
