The Dayton Flyers are the real deal and they will take their perfect 6-0 road record into Richmond tonight to face the VCU Rams. The Flyers, who are ranked 5th in the nation, have an opposing offense that is averaging 81.2 points per game and back it up with a defense that is surrendering just 65.6 points per game. The Rams are averaging 72.0 points per game, allowing an average of 64.3, and might make it interesting but do you know who’s #1 in the country in field goal percentage? Dayton.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DAYTON FLYERS M/L
Monday NHL Pick
The Calgary Flames will be hosting the Anaheim Ducks today, a team they blew out just last week, 6-0, at the Pond. The scheduling is not fair in the NHL but that’s the way it is. The Ducks will be playing back-to-back games and the Flames will be well rested after having a day off yesterday. Calgary has lost their last 5 games at the Saddledome so they’re due for a home victory.
TODAY’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES
Sunday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The #4 San Diego State Aztecs should be ranked #1 but they’re not. They will take their perfect 25-0 record into Idaho today to face the Boise State Broncos. Are they going to fold? Not likely. The Aztecs already put the screws to the Broncs back on January 11th, blowing them out, 83-65, and with a defense that is relinquishing an average of just 58.4 points per game, forget about it.
TODAY’S PICK: SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS M/L
Saturday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
When teams visit Dreamstyle Arena, or better known as the Pit, to face the New Mexico Lobos, the visitors rarely get out alive. Unfortunately for the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels, that is where they will be today. New Mexico is 14-1 at home and have been lighting up the scoreboard for the home crowd, averaging 84.5 points per game and allowing an average of 72.3. The Rebels stumble into this one losing 5 of their last 6 and are just 2-7 on the road, averaging 69.1 points per game and allowing an average of 77.1. As usual, the Lobos will get it done today at the Pit.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW MEXICO LOBOS M/L
Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Davidson Wildcats will be in Western New York tonight to take on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies, who have been on a roll. The Bonnies have won 5 in a row and are tough at home, where they are 7-3, averaging 68.1 points per game and surrendering just 58.8. The Wildcats’ road record is nothing to write home about at 3-6, where they are averaging 68.9 points per game and allowing an average of 72. Davidson has won the last 3 meetings with St. Bonaventure so it’s time for the Bonnies to buck the trend. With an electric crowd to back them at Reilly Center and their stingy defense, they should get the job done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAINT BONAVENTURE BONNIES M/L
Thursday NHL Pick
The Colorado Avalanche are red hot, ripping off 5 straight wins, but they will be challenged tonight when a hungry Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals come to town. Washington has lost a rare 2 in a row and will have payback on their minds after falling in DC, 6-3, to the Avs in their last meeting. Ovi was held scoreless in his last 2 games and is still 2 shy of 700 goals but you know that won’t last. The Caps are an impressive 20-6-1 on the road, have won 8 of the last 10 meetings with the Avs, and when you get them as an underdog you have to run with it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Richmond Spiders will be in Philadelphia tonight for a meeting with the La Salle Explorers. The Spiders are by far the better team in this one. Richmond has the edge in points per game, field goal %, free throw %, defense, and turnovers. The Spiders cruised to an easy victory in their last meeting on January 22nd, 75-57, so why not again tonight?
TONIGHT’S PICK: RICHMOND SPIDERS M/L
