The Davidson Wildcats 12-game winning streak is their longest since the 2013-2014 season but that will be in jeopardy tonight when they visit their A-10 rival, the Richmond Spiders. Richmond has been a force at Robins Center with a record of 7-1, where they are averaging 75.1 points per game and allowing an average of 67.6. They have also won the last 3 meetings with the Wildcats and will have a packed house of Spider fans for support.
TONIGHT’S PICK: RICHMOND SPIDERS M/L
Thursday NHL Pick
The Winnipeg Jets have not played since January 6th so rust will be an issue when they head to the Motor City for a matchup with the Detroit Red Wings. Winnipeg gets it done in Manitoba but on the road they are a mediocre 6-6-4. Detroit will look to snap their 3-game skid after another disappointing road trip and should prevail tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings are an impressive 12-5-2 in Detroit and the home team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two clubs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT RED WINGS
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Longwood Lancers will be a road favorite tonight when they visit the Radford Highlanders and they should be. The Lancers have won 4 of their last 5, are averaging 80.2 points per game, and surrendering an average of 63.5. The Highlanders enter tonight’s game with just 1 win in their last 6 and are averaging 63.8 points per game while giving up an average of 69.6. Radford has dominated Longwood over the years but trends always end. The line is currently Lancers -2½. Don’t sweat the hook and consider Longwood on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LONGWOOD LANCERS M/L
Tuesday NHL Pick
The Detroit Red Wings’ road woes continue, after losing their last 5, and they are now 4-11-2 away from Little Caesars Arena. Tonight they will rap up their 3-game road trip when they visit SAP Center for a matchup with the San Jose Sharks. Detroit could be swimming in dangerous waters in this one. The Sharks have won 2 straight and will have payback on their minds after falling to the Red Wings just last week in Detroit, 6-2. Detroit has not fared well in San Jose, going 6-14 in their last 20, and the home team has won 7 of the last 9 meetings. Good value on the Sharks at the current line of -145 and worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN JOSE SHARKS
