The 10-7 Nevada Wolf Pack will look to snap their 2-game skid tonight and who better to do that against than their archrival, the 6-7 UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. Nevada returns home tonight after playing 6 of their last 8 games on the road and have played well at Lawlor Center, posting a record of 5-2, where UNLV is just 1-2 on the road. Both teams have similar numbers on both sides of the ball but Nevada has dominated UNLV in recent years. They have won 6 straight against the Rebs and 8 of the last 9. The Pack get it done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK M/L
Month: January 2021
Saturday NHL Pick
The 5-5 Vancouver Canucks are riding a 3-game winning streak, but keep in mind, those 3 wins were at home against the hapless Ottawa Senators. Tonight they will take it on the arches to Bell MTS Place to face the 5-2 Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg is always tough on their home ice and this year is no different. The Jets are 3-1 in Winnipeg and as a home favorite they are 13-3 in their last 16. To say that Winnipeg has Vancouver’s number would be an understatement. The Jets are 14-2 in the last 16 meetings overall and 10-1 in their last 11 against the Canucks at home.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS
Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Ohio Bobcats 2-game winning streak will be in jeopardy tonight when they head to Western New York to take on the Buffalo Bulls. Scoring is not an issue for Buffalo. They are coming off a 92-77 blowout over Eastern Michigan and have racked up 80+ points in 7 of their last 8 games. The Bulls have been getting it done at Alumni Arena, with a record of 3-1 averaging 82.0 points per game and holding teams to 71.5. The Bobcats road record is nothing to write home about, at 2-4, where they are averaging 75.3 points per game and allowing an average of 80.5. Buffalo has won 6 of the last 7 meetings with Ohio and is the side to consider in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BULLS M/L
Thursday NHL Pick
The Dallas Stars will try to keep their perfect 3-0 record intact when they wrap up their 2-game set with the Detroit Red Wings tonight at American Airlines Center. The Stars have outscored their opponents by a ridiculous 12-3 in their first 3 games despite having key players out due to injuries. The Red Wings, who are 2-4-1, have mustered just 13 tallies on the season and will limp into tonight’s game with 5 players out due to COVID, including two of their best, Filip Zadina and Robby Fabbri. The Stars are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings with Detroit and 5-0 in their last 5 against the Wings in Dallas.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
There will be an early tip off today in Harrisonburg, Virginia, between the Towson Tigers and the James Madison Dukes. James Madison is a solid 5-2 at home where they are averaging an impressive 82.7 points per game and allowing 68.3. The Tigers have lost two straight and have yet to register a road win, at 0-3. They are averaging just 64.0 points on the road and holding teams to 71.7. The Dukes have been on a roll, winning 4 of their last 5, and knocked off the Tigers in Maryland back on January 16th, 81-72, so why not again today?
TODAY’S PICK: JAMES MADISON DUKES M/L
Tuesday NHL Pick
The Columbus Blue Jackets are coming off an impressive win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, beating the champs 5-2 on Saturday. Tonight they will go for two straight when they host the Florida Panthers at Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets had a blockbuster trade over the weekend with Winnipeg, acquiring high flying Patrick Laine, but his status is uncertain for tonight due to quarantine and visa issues. Florida has not played since January 19th so rust could be an issue and they are a dismal 2-14 in their last 16 in Columbus.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS
Monday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Syracuse Orange will have confidence and momentum on their side tonight when they visit the #13 Virginia Cavaliers in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Orange have won two straight with a blowout over Miami on Tuesday, 83-57, and won convincingly on Saturday, 78-60, over #16 Virginia Tech. Syracuse can light up the scoreboard and will have to tonight against a Cavaliers defense that is allowing an average of only 59.6 points per game and are a perfect 6-0 on their home court. The Orange should put up a good fight tonight. They won the last meeting in January 2020, 63-55, and the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Cavs and Q.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SYRACUSE ORANGE +7.5
