The New York Rangers will look to snap their 4-game losing streak when they return home today to face the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are a dangerous team and have played well on the road with a record of 18-10-6 but have not fared well at MSG. LA is just 1-4 in their last 5 in New York. The Rangers have won their last 2 meetings with the Kings, are 5-1 in their last 6 at the Garden, and if Gallant gets his boys focused on the game at hand, and not Patrick Kane, they get back on track.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
Saturday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The San Francisco Dons will be a road dog tonight when they visit the BYU Cougars. The Cougars have been struggling. They have lost 4 straight and 7 of their last 9.

TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO DONS +6
Friday NHL Pick
When the Buffalo Sabres come to town, the host team should be concerned. Buffalo proved once again they are not to be taken lightly when they visit your arena. The Sabres took down one of the best last night, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in Tampa, 6-5, and tonight they will make the short trip to Sunrise to face the Florida Panthers. With last night’s win, Buffalo is now an impressive 18-8-2 on the road. The Sabres and Panthers match up well and are both in the thick of the playoff hunt however, Buffalo will have confidence and swagger going into this one. The Sabres are a big underdog and worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Detroit Mercy Titans will look to remain hot when they host the Northern Kentucky Norse tonight at Calihan Hall. The Titans have won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6. At home, they are 8-3 where they have been lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 81.1 points per game. The Norse are just 4-6 on the road, where they average 61.5 points per game. Detroit will be extra motivated tonight after losing a close one to Northern Kentucky in OT, 78-76, back on January 8th in Kentucky. The current line is Titans -1 with a money line of -120.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT MERCY TITANS M/L
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Fordham Rams will be a road favorite tonight when they visit the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers. The Rams are in the #4 spot in the Atlantic 10, with a record of 21-6, and are 9-5 in conference play. The Ramblers are dead last in the A10, in the #15 spot. They are 9-17 on the season and just 3-11 in conference play. Fordham is, by far, the better team top to bottom, and they cover, going 8-2 ATS in their last 10, but the Rams are currently laying just 2? Fishy. Consider Fordham on the money line at only -132.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FORDHAM RAMS M/L
Tuesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Nevada Wolf Pack will return home tonight for a matchup with the San Jose State Spartans. Nevada should bounce back after falling to the Utah State Aggies on Saturday, a game in which they led by 15 at the half but let slip away. Tonight they will look to remain perfect at Lawlor Center where they are 13-0, and that should happen. The Wolf Pack destroyed the Spartans in San Jose back on January 7th, 67-40. The Pack have the edge in points per game, points allowed, field goals, 3-pointers, etc., etc., and they cover at home. The line is currently around 9 depending on where you shop and if Nevada wants to cover they will, easily.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK -9
Monday NHL Pick
The Calgary Flames are coming off a 3-2 OT win over the surging New York Rangers on Saturday. The question is, can they finally win back-to-back games today, which has eluded them of late, when they host the struggling Philadelphia Flyers? Calgary is in the thick of the playoff picture but if they want to stay there, they cannot afford to lose to a team like the Flyers at home and they know it. The Flames will be facing a Flyers team that has lost 4 straight, 8 of their last 10, and are just 1-6 in their last 7 trips to Calgary.
TODAY’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES
