TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Month: December 2022
Friday NHL Pick
The Colorado Avalanche will look to snap their 3-game skid when they host the New York Rangers tonight at Ball Arena. The Avs have been decimated with injuries but keep in mind they are still the champs and will not go down without a fight. If you think altitude isn’t a factor for visiting clubs to Colorado, just ask the Rangers who are 0-4 in their last 4 trips to the mountains. The Avs are expected to have Alexandar Georgiev between the pipes and he will be as stingy as always. Georgiev is 11-5-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .918 SV%. Colorado is a home dog, currently around +130, and are worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLORADO AVALANCHE
Thursday NHL Pick
One team the Winnipeg Jets have owned over the years is the St. Louis Blues and that is who they will visit tonight. The Jets are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with the Blues and 12-3 in their last 15 in St. Louis. They have also been on a roll, winning 2 straight, 5 of their last 6, and they are a solid 6-4-1 on the road. On the other hand, the Blues are just 5-6-0 at Enterprise Center and have lost 6 of their last 8. Good value on the Jets tonight at the current price of -120.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels will take on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors tonight at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, Nevada. The Rebels have been dominating this year. They come into this game a perfect 8-0 and are lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 80 points per game. The Warriors are 5-2, averaging 68.3 points per game, and they had better be on the top of their game tonight if they want to pull the upset. UNLV has the edge in points per game, 3-point field goals, rebounds, steals, etc., etc., etc. Depending on where you do your shopping, the line is floating around the 7 mark.
TONIGHT’S PICK: UNLV RUNNIN’ REBELS -7

TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
