When the Tampa Bay Lightning take the ice at Amalie Arena, good things happen. They win. Tonight the Bolts will be hosting the Florida Panthers. Tampa is 22-4-3 at home and despite losing in Sunrise on February 6th, they are still an impressive 7-1 in their last 8 against the Panthers. Florida has not played well on the road, at 13-17-3, and will be without one of their top producers again, Aleksander Barkov. Tampa at home is always worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Month: February 2023
Monday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Nevada Wolf Pack will be a road favorite tonight when they visit the Wyoming Cowboys. Nevada should have no problem taking care of business tonight. The Pack are third in the Mountain West and 12-4 in conference play. The Cowboys are dead last in the Mountain West, in the #11 spot, and just 3-13 in conference play. The Pack have won 6 of their last 7 and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7. Nevada has the edge in points scored, points allowed, free throws, 3-pointers, and the list goes on.

Sunday NHL Pick
The New York Rangers will look to snap their 4-game losing streak when they return home today to face the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are a dangerous team and have played well on the road with a record of 18-10-6 but have not fared well at MSG. LA is just 1-4 in their last 5 in New York. The Rangers have won their last 2 meetings with the Kings, are 5-1 in their last 6 at the Garden, and if Gallant gets his boys focused on the game at hand, and not Patrick Kane, they get back on track.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
Saturday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The San Francisco Dons will be a road dog tonight when they visit the BYU Cougars. The Cougars have been struggling. They have lost 4 straight and 7 of their last 9. On the flip side, the Dons are riding a 3-game winning streak and beat the Cougars in their last meeting on January 21st, 82-74. Take the points.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO DONS +6
Friday NHL Pick
When the Buffalo Sabres come to town, the host team should be concerned. Buffalo proved once again they are not to be taken lightly when they visit your arena. The Sabres took down one of the best last night, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in Tampa, 6-5, and tonight they will make the short trip to Sunrise to face the Florida Panthers. With last night’s win, Buffalo is now an impressive 18-8-2 on the road. The Sabres and Panthers match up well and are both in the thick of the playoff hunt however, Buffalo will have confidence and swagger going into this one. The Sabres are a big underdog and worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Detroit Mercy Titans will look to remain hot when they host the Northern Kentucky Norse tonight at Calihan Hall. The Titans have won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6. At home, they are 8-3 where they have been lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 81.1 points per game. The Norse are just 4-6 on the road, where they average 61.5 points per game.

TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT MERCY TITANS M/L
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The Ramblers are dead last in the A10, in the #15 spot. They are 9-17 on the season and just 3-11 in conference play. Fordham is, by far, the better team top to bottom, and they cover, going 8-2 ATS in their last 10, but the Rams are currently laying just 2? Fishy. Consider Fordham on the money line at only -132.
