The 19-17-2 Arizona Coyotes will look to snap their 3-game losing streak tonight but it’s not going to be easy because the Boston Bruins are in town. The Bruins lost in a SO last night to the Colorado Avalanche and do not like losing two in a row. Boston is 24-8-7 overall and an impressive 12-5-4 on the road. The Bruins have won 9 out of the last 10 meetings with the Coyotes and have the edge in goals per game, goals against, etc., etc., etc.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
Month: January 2024
Monday NHL Pick
Everybody talks about how good the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, and Vegas Golden Knights are but there is a team north of the border called the Vancouver Canucks who is really, really good. After an impressive 6-4 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday at the Rock, the 25-11-3 Canucks will make the short trip tonight to MSG to face the 26-10-2 New York Rangers. The Rangers have stumbled a bit of late, losing 3 of their last 5, and are coming off a 4-3 OT loss to the lowly Montréal Canadiens. It’s no surprise that the Canucks are a road dog in this one but that’s just fine because they are the better team. Vancouver scores more goals than New York, gives up less, and should be considered tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VANCOUVER CANUCKS
Sunday NHL Pick
With a win tonight over the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium, the Buffalo Bills will capture their 4th consecutive AFC East title and will be the second seed behind Baltimore going into the playoffs, and they are on a roll. The Bills have won 4 straight, put a beating on the Dolphins (49-20) in their first meeting this year, and have won 9 out of the last 10 against them. The Dolphins are limping into this game with a bunch of injuries and are coming off a 56-19 shellacking by the Baltimore Ravens. Not good. Buffalo is a dangerous team and is the side to consider tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS M/L
Saturday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The 13-1 Nevada Wolf Pack will visit Save Mart Center today to take on the 7-7 Fresno State Bulldogs. The current line is Pack -6.5 and they should cover the number easily if they want to. Nevada is averaging 79.6 points per game as opposed to Fresno’s 69.6 and they give up less, allowing an average of 64.4 with the Bulldogs allowing an average of 72.3. Fresno State did not look good in their last outing against San Diego State and got throttled by a score of 74-47. The Pack have won 9 out of the last 10 meetings with the Bulldogs. They are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. Jump on the Pack early because this line is going to move.
TODAY’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK -6½
Friday NHL Pick
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to remain hot when they head to DC tonight to face the Washington Capitals. The Canes have won 4 straight with their last 2 coming on the road against two of the best in the league, the New York Rangers and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Caps are just 1-5 over their last 6 and 1-4 in their last 5 meetings with the Hurricanes. Carolina is hot, ride them ’til they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

Monday NCAA Football Pick
The Alabama Crimson Tide did not earn the right to be playing the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. The Tide got in by reputation alone and the Wolverines will prove that fact when they put the screws to them today in Pasadena.
