The Winnepeg Jets, who own the best record in hockey at 11-1-0, will be at home tonight when they host the struggling Utah Hockey Club. The Club has lost 5 of its last 6 and now has to face the Jets, whose only loss was against a really good Toronto Maple Leafs team. Good luck. Winnipeg has been a scoring machine, averaging just shy of 5 goals per game as opposed to Utah’s 3.08. The Jets also have the edge in goals against, shots on goal, etc., etc., etc.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS
Monday NFL Pick
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be a big dog tonight when they travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. The Chiefs are currently laying 9 and are 7-0 but have not blown anybody away this year and Patrick Mahomes has not been impressive, throwing more picks than touchdowns. On the flip side, the Bucs’ Baker Mayfield has thrown 21 TDs and despite being without his two best receivers last week, he still threw for 330 yards and 3 touchdowns. Bucs get under the number.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +9
Sunday NFL Pick
The Buffalo Bills are on a roll. After last week’s thumping of the Seattle Seahawks, the Bills have won 3 straight and have outscored their opponents, 88 to 40, over that span. This afternoon the only team that resides in the Empire State will host their archrival Miami Dolphins. Buffalo’s signal caller, Josh Allen, is proving week in and week out that he is the best there is. The Bills’ gunslinger has 14 passing TDs and 3 rushing with only 1 pick. The 2-5 Dolphins are just 1-2 on the road and their southpaw quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, gets too much attention, which is not warranted. The Bills are a perfect 3-0 in Orchard Park. They put a beating on the Fish in South Florida back in September, 31-10, and Tagovailoa was 17 of 25 with 3 picks. Forget about it.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS M/L
Saturday NHL Pick
The Vegas Golden Knights return home tonight to T-Mobile Arena to host the Utah Hockey Club. Vegas has been a scoring machine, averaging over 4 goals per game. They are also a perfect 7-0 on the strip. Utah started out of the gate on a winning note but have lost 4 of their last 5 and are revealing what they really are – a mediocre team at best.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Friday NHL Pick
Tonight the 6-2-1 New York Rangers will be at the friendly confines, MSG, when they host the 5-4-0 Ottawa Senators. After winning 4 straight, the Rangers have hit a bump in the road, losing 2 of their last 3 but they will get back on track tonight. New York is 2-1-1 at the Garden and have won the last 2 meetings with the Sens. This will not be a walk in the park for New York. Ottawa can score, averaging over 4 goals per game, but away from Canada’s capital they are just 1-3-0.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
Thursday NHL Pick
After going 0-5 to start the season, the Nashville Predators have won 3 of their last 4 and will be hosting the Edmonton Oilers tonight at Bridgestone Arena. The Oil will be without the best player on the planet, Connor McDavid, and without him they are nothing. It’s time for the Preds to pounce.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NASHVILLE PREDATORS
Wednesday MLB Pick
Facing elimination last night in game 4 of the World Series, the New York Yankees stood their ground and lived to see another day by pummeling the Los Angeles Dodgers, 11-4. Tonight at the Stadium with momentum on their side, the Yankees will send their ace, Gerrit Cole, to the hill. Cole, who is 1-0 in the postseason with a 2.82 ERA, was pitching a gem in game 1 and for some unknown reason Aaron Boone made another bonehead decision, pulling his flamethrower after 6 innings and the Yankees went on to lose in extras, 6-3. The Dodgers are expected to send Jack Flaherty to the hill. Flaherty is 1-2 in the postseason with a 6.10 ERA. He was sharp in game 1 against the Yankees but left the game with a hamstring pull which could be an issue tonight. Yankees Stadium is going to be electric, the Bombers bats have awoken, and New York will have one of the best in the business on the hill, Gerrit Cole. Aaron Boone is one of the most inept managers the game has ever seen. If he just stays out of it and lets Gerrit Cole do his thing, the Yankees head to Los Angeles for game 6.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
