Saturday NHL Pick

The Columbus Blue Jackets take their 8-12 road record south tonight to face the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Blue Jackets’ record in Tampa has been dismal, going 1-6 in their last 7 games. Ben Bishop is expected between the pipes for the Lightning. He comes in with a 14-11-2 record, a 2.00 GAA and .926 SV%. On the flip side for the Jacks, Joonas Korpisalo is expected in net. He has a 1-3-0 record, a 3.23 GAA and a .902 SV%. The injury riddled Lightning could get some key players back today – Drouin, Boyle and Brown. I expect Tampa to light it up.

Today’s pick:

Tampa Bay Lightning

Wednesday Men’s NCAA-B Pick

The Auburn Tigers and the Harvard Crimson hook up in an early game today in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Tigers come into this game with a 6-3 record and are averaging 83.8 points per game. Harvard comes into the game with a 4-6 record and are averaging 68 points per game. Auburn has been a covering machine, going 10-3-1 over their last 14 games. Tigers have the edge in points per game, field goals, free throws, rebounding and turn overs. Taking Auburn minus the 3.5 points.

Today’s pick:

Auburn Tigers -3.5

Tuesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The UTEP Miners host the Sam Houston State Bearkats tonight at the Don Haskins Center. The Miners are 4-3 at home and are averaging 71.3 points per game on their home court. The Bearkats are 1-3 on the road and are averaging 61.0 points away from home. UTEP is ranked 160 in field goal percentage, compared to 343 for Sam Houston. Laying the 4 and siding with the Miners.

Tonight’s pick:

University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) Miners -4

Monday NHL Pick

The red hot Washington Capitals travel south tonight to take on the Carolina Hurricanes. Washington has won 5 straight and that streak should continue tonight. Caps are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings in Carolina. They are 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win and 6-0 in their last 6 Monday games. Holtby is out but a competent backup, Philipp Grubauer, is expected between the pipes for the Caps. He has a GAA of 2.53 and a SV% of .901. I’m riding the Caps until they lose.

Tonight’s pick:

Washington Capitals

Sunday NFL Pick

This could be the swan song for San Diego Chargers, as they potentially play their last game ever at The Murph. Philip Rivers will not let Bolts fans down today.

Today’s pick:

Penguins should snap their 4 game losing streak tonight when they host the Carolina Hurricanes at home. Hurricanes haven’t done well against the Metropolitan division. They’re 0-6 in their last 6 and they have issues in Pittsburgh, going 2-7 in their last 9. Taking the Penguins tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Pittsburgh Penguins
