The red hot New York Rangers look to make it 9 in a row as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays at MSG. Toronto will have their work cut out for them because New York is 7-0 in their last 7 home games. Lundqvist is not in the net for the Rangers tonight but that shouldn’t matter. Raanta is expected between the pipes and he has a GAA of 0.67 and a .976 SV percentage – that’s tough to beat. I like the Rangers in this one.
Today’s pick:
New York Rangers
Two of the worst in the MAC are going head-to-head today. You’ve got to roll with the home dog and the points.
Today’s pick:
Eastern Michigan
San Jose Sharks embark on a 6-game road trip, as they head to Joe Louis Arena to face the Detroit Red Wings. Sharks have won 11 of the last 14 overall against the Red Wings and 7 out of 8 in the Motor City. Marleau for the Sharks excels in Detroit, netting 5 goals and 2 assists in his last 5 games there. Good value at -105. I’m siding with the Sharks in this one.
Today’s pick:
San Jose Sharks
Two weak teams go at it tonight with UL Lafayette visiting South Alabama. The South Alabama Jags are 2-6 ATS this year and 1-8 in their last 9 conference games ATS. UL Lafayette are 3-4-1 ATS and have the edge in points/game, yards gained, yards allowed, time of possession, red zone and penalties. These 2 teams met up last year with ULL winning 19-9… Taking the road team here and the points.
Tonight’s NCAAF pick:
UL Lafayette
New York’s Buffalo Bills travel to Met Life Stadium tonight to take on New Jersey’s New York Jets. This is Rex Ryan’s first game back at the Met since being fired last year. Buffalo is getting healthy and that was reflected in Sunday’s trouncing of the Miami Dolphins. Tyrod Taylor, Lashawn McCoy and Sammy Watkins are all a “go” tonight for the Bills. Buffalo swept the Jets last year, crushing them 38-3 and 43-23. The ex-Bill Ryan Fitzpatrick gets the start at quarterback tonight for the Jets and Buffalo knows his shortcomings all-to-well and should be able to exploit them. This is Rex Ryan’s Super Bowl and he would love nothing else than to leave New Jersey with a win. I’m taking Buffalo and the points.
Tonight’s NFL pick:
Buffalo Bills
The Anaheim Ducks host the Edmonton Oilers tonight at Honda Center. The Oilers have been struggling, dropping 6 of their last 8 overall. Also, their young phenom Connor McDavid is out with a broken collarbone. These two clubs met 4 times last year and Anaheim won all 4 meetings, outscoring Edmonton 13-5. Oilers don’t fare well in Anaheim, going 0-6 in their last 6 meetings there. Since Ryan Getzlaf’s return from an appendectomy, he has posted 4 assists in his last 3 games, but he has yet to find the back of the net this season. His slump could end tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Anaheim Ducks
The red hot New York Rangers host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at MSG. The Rangers try to make it 6 wins in a row and the odds of that happening just increased with the expected return of superstar Rick Nash. New York is difficult to beat at home, going 5-0 in their last 5 games. Lundqvist is between the pipes for New York and he boasts a 7-2-2 record and a stingy 1.80 GAA. Over the last 29 games between these two clubs, the Rangers are 22-7.
Tonight’s pick:
New York Rangers
