The Fordham Rams will be a road favorite tonight when they visit the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers. The Rams are in the #4 spot in the Atlantic 10, with a record of 21-6, and are 9-5 in conference play. 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.

Tuesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Nevada Wolf Pack will return home tonight for a matchup with the San Jose State Spartans. Nevada should bounce back after falling to the Utah State Aggies on Saturday, a game in which they led by 15 at the half but let slip away. Tonight they will look to remain perfect at Lawlor Center where they are 13-0, and that should happen. The Wolf Pack destroyed the Spartans in San Jose back on January 7th, 67-40. The Pack have the edge in points per game, points allowed, field goals, 3-pointers, etc., etc., and they cover at home. The line is currently around 9 depending on where you shop and if Nevada wants to cover they will, easily.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK -9
Monday NHL Pick
The Calgary Flames are coming off a 3-2 OT win over the surging New York Rangers on Saturday. The question is, can they finally win back-to-back games today, which has eluded them of late, when they host the struggling Philadelphia Flyers? Calgary is in the thick of the playoff picture but if they want to stay there, they cannot afford to lose to a team like the Flyers at home and they know it. The Flames will be facing a Flyers team that has lost 4 straight, 8 of their last 10, and are just 1-6 in their last 7 trips to Calgary.
TODAY’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES
Sunday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Cleveland State Vikings will be hosting their Horizon foe, the Northern Kentucky Norse today in a matinée at Wolstein Center. Both teams are clicking. The Vikes have won 3 straight and are 7-3 in their last 10, with the Norse winning their last 2 and they have also won 7 of their last 10. When these two teams meet, it’s always a toe-to-toe battle, with the home team usually coming out on top. With that said, the Norse are just 4-5 on the road and the Vikings are 11-3 in Cleveland.
TODAY’S PICK: CLEVELAND STATE VIKINGS M/L
Saturday NHL Pick
After a successful 2-game road trip, the Boston Bruins return home tonight to host the New York Islanders. The Bruins are having a season that will go down in hockey history. They are 41-8-5 overall and 22-2-3 at TD Garden – and that is scary. The Islanders, who are 28-23-7 and 11-13-4 on the road, will be playing back-to-back games after a tough battle with the Penguins last night and now they have to face the best team in hockey on the road. Good luck. With a win tonight, the Bruins will complete a season sweep of the Islanders and should see the return of winger Jake DeBrusk, who will add another weapon to their already lethal offense.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Niagara Purple Eagles will be a road dog tonight when they visit the Mount Saint Mary’s Mountaineers. The Mountaineers are just 3-8 on their home court, have lost 2 straight and 5 of their last 6. The Purple Eagles are 5-1 in their last 6, beat the Mountaineers convincingly, 67-55, on New Year’s Eve and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES +1½
Thursday NHL Pick
The Winnipeg Jets will be extra motivated tonight when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. Winnipeg is just 2 points behind Dallas for the top spot in the Central Division so they need to take care of business against the bottom feeding Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets are just 1-5 in their last 6 overall and 1-6 in their last 7 at Nationwide Arena. The Jets are on a 3-game winning streak, score more than the Blue Jackets and give up less.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS
