Friday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The Western Michigan Broncos will make the 2 hour trip tonight to Mount Pleasant to take on the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Broncos are 7-14 on the season, and 0-8 on the road. The Broncos dismal road record can be attributed to them averaging 67.9 points per game and giving up an average of 80.2. The Chippewas are 14-8, with a home record of 9-1, and they can score a ton at McGuirk Arena, where they average 91.8 points per game and allow an average of 83. Central Michigan is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games as a favorite. I like the Chippewas tonight, -3.

Tonight’s pick:

Central Michigan Chippewas -3

Wednesday NHL Pick

Both the Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals will be playing back-to-back games when they square off tonight at Verizon Center. The Capitals are coming off a 3-game road trip where they went 1-2, and will be glad to be back at home where they are tough to beat, owning a home record of 19-5-1. The Bruins counter with a very respectable road record of 14-9-6 but have struggled against Ovechkin and company. The Bruins are 0-7 in their last 7 meetings with the Caps, and 0-4 in their last 4 games at Verizon Center. I like Washington’s chances in this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Washington Capitals

Tuesday NHL Pick

If the Detroit Red Wings are going to snap their 4-game skid, it should be tonight when they play host to another bottom dweller, the New Jersey Devils. The Devils are 2-6 in their last 8 meetings with Detroit and 2-10 in their last 12 in the Motor City.

Tonight’s pick:

Detroit Red Wings

Monday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The Prairie View A&M Panthers should be able to take care of business tonight when they host the Alabama State Hornets. The Panthers are 5-2 at William Nicks Center, where the average 78.4 points per game and allow an average of 76.2. The Hornets are a dismal 1-11 on the road, where they average just 59.5 points per game and give up 75.8. The numbers say the Panthers cover the 7.

Tonight’s pick:

Prairie View A&M Panthers -7

Sunday NBA Pick

Toronto’s 5-game skid ended on Friday when the Raptors blew out the Milwaukee Bucks, 102-86, and that momentum should continue today when they host the 18-30 Orlando Magic at Air Canada Centre. DeRozan will probably sit again for the Rap but that shouldn’t matter. Toronto averages 112.7 at home and gives up an average of 103.1. On the flip side, Orlando is averaging 101.9 on the road and giving up 107.7. With or without DeRozan, the Raptors should cover.

Today’s pick:

Toronto Raptors -9

Saturday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The Nevada Wolf Pack will host the New Mexico Lobos today at Lawlor Center. The last time these two teams met was at The Pit in New Mexico on 01/07/17, where the Wolf Pack engineered one of the greatest comebacks in Men’s NCAA-B history, winning in overtime, 105-104. Nevada is tough at home, with an 8-1 record, where they average 79.7 points per game and give up an average of 68.3. The Wolf Pack cover. They are 17-7-1 ATS in their last 25 home games and 17-8-2 ATS in their last 27 games overall. When the Lobos are away from The Pit, they are 3-4, averaging 71.3 points per game and giving up an average of 74.6. The Pack have the edge in points per game, defense, rebounding and turnovers. This line is moving, it’s now Nevada -4.5. This could be a close one, but Nevada gets the win. I like the Pack on the money line.

Today’s pick:

Nevada Wolf Pack M/L
