Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The 8-6 Old Dominion Monarchs and the 12-2 Louisiana Tech Bull Dogs clash tonight in Ruston, Louisiana. Old Dominion comes into this matchup with a 0-4 road record and the Bull Dogs are a perfect 9-0 at home. On the road, Monarchs are averaging 69 points per game and are surrendering an average of 68 points per game. The Bull Dogs can light it up on their home court, averaging 83.4 and allowing an average of 68. Louisiana Tech has the edge in points per game, field goals, rebounding, and bench. The Bull Dogs should cover the 3.

Tonight’s pick:

Louisiana Tech Bull Dogs -3

Wednesday NHL Pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs open their West coast road trip tonight when they face the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center. Toronto has had success against Anaheim, taking the last 6 out of 7 contests. However, December’s Rookie of the Month John Gibson is expected between the pipes and might have something to say about that. Over his last 4 wins he has been nothing but spectacular, posting 2 shutouts along with a 0.75 GAA and .963 SV%. The Ducks have a respectable 10-5-4 home record and the Leafs are a mediocre 8-9-2 on the road. Siding with So. Cal in this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Anaheim Ducks

Tuesday NHL Pick

The Washington Capitals continue their 5 game road trip tonight when they travel to TD Garden to take on the Boston Bruins. Washington is experiencing a rare 2 game losing streak but have won the last 4 against Boston. The Capitals have been dominant on the road, posting a 13-4-2 record. On the flip side, Boston has been far from stellar with a 9-10-2 home record. Braden Holtby is expected in net tonight for the Capitals and has been spectacular with a 24-4-2 record, a GAA of 1.92 and .932 SV%. I expect the Capitals to come out strong tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Washington Capitals
