The Fordham Rams and the Davidson Wildcats will be playing an early one today at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This is basically a home game for the Rams who are from the Bronx. They will also have payback on their minds after getting whacked by the Wildcats in their last meeting. Fordham plus four is worth considering.
TODAY’S PICK: FORDHAM RAMS +4

Who would have thought the USF Bulls would be the top seed in the AAC and in the top 25 in the nation when the season started? Not many, but they are. Today they will take their 15-game winning streak to Oklahoma to face the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in their final game of the regular season. The Bulls will be going to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012 and they want to keep this winning streak going, and they will. USF destroyed Tulsa in their last meeting on February 14th, 69-50, and have the edge in points scored, points allowed, 3-pointers, free throws, rebounds, etc., etc., etc. Not only have the Bulls been winning but they have also been a covering machine, with a record of 19-6-3 ATS.

Friday NHL Pick
The Colorado Avalanche made a lot of moves to bolster their already lethal offense and they will be locked and loaded tonight when they host the Minnesota Wild. The Avs, who are just 2 points back of Dallas for the top spot in the Central, acquired forward Casey Mittelstadt from the Sabres, forward Brandon Duhaime from the visiting Wild, and they could see the return of winger Valeri Nichushkin tonight who can find the back of the net. Minnesota dumped a lot of players. It’s obvious they are writing this year off and looking toward the future. Colorado owns an impressive 25-6-0 record at Ball Arena, has won 3 of the last 4 meetings with Minnesota, and will be catching a Wild team that is playing back-to-back games.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLORADO AVALANCHE

Wednesday NHL Pick
The Buffalo Sabres will be a big dog tonight when they make the short trek up the QEW to face their Atlantic rival, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sabres have been playing well. They are 5-2 over their last 7 and have been good on the road, with a record of 15-12-3, and they always give the Leafs a run for their money. Buffalo has won the last 3 meetings with Toronto, 7 of the last 10, and both contests this year. In December, they blew out the Leafs at Key Bank, 9-3, and in November they took them down in Toronto, 6-4. The Sabres are getting no respect in this one and they should be. Don’t be surprised if the Western New Yorkers pull the upset tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
