The Montréal Canadiens were an easy mark early in the season, but things have changed. The Canadiens have won 3 straight and 6 of their last 7. Their last 3 wins were against three of the top teams in the league: Vegas, Tampa, Florida, and all were on the road. Tonight, they will be in Chicago to take on the reeling Blackhawks. Chicago is a mess. They are just 12-24-2 on the season, have lost 5 straight, and 7 of their last 10. The Canadiens have won the last 4 meetings with the Blackhawks and after tonight it should be 5. The Habs are hot, ride them ’til they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTRÉAL CANADIENS
Month: January 2025
Thursday NHL Pick
When the Vegas Golden Knights take the ice on the Strip good things happen and that’s where they will be tonight when they host the Philadelphia Flyers. Vegas is 13-4 at T-Mobile Arena and have been hot, winning 8 of their last 10 games. The Knights have also won 4 of the last 5 meetings with the Broad Street Bullies and have the edge in goals scored, goals against, etc., etc.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Wednesday NCAA Football Pick
The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks face each other today in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The Ducks are getting no respect but they should be. Oregon is the best team in the nation and is currently a 2.5 point dog. They have won 13 straight games, are averaging 35.9 points per game, and giving up just 17.8. How do you not consider Oregon?
TODAY’S PICK: OREGON DUCKS +2½
