The Toronto Maple Leafs have been on fire, going 9-0-1 in their last 10 games, and since Sheldon Keefe took over as coach, they are 15-4-1. Tonight they will look to stay hot when they host the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are a formidable opponent but at Scotiabank Arena the Leafs dominate, with a record of 11-4-5, and they beat the Oilers in Edmonton back on December 14th, 4-1.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Sunday NHL Pick
The Pittsburgh Penguins return home to PPG Paints Arena today to host the Florida Panthers. Despite being riddled by injuries, the Penguins are still getting it done. Pittsburgh boasts a 16-4-3 record at home and Tristan Jarry is confirmed to be between the pipes for the Penguins. Jarry has been outstanding, with a GAA of only 1.94 and a .936 SV%. The Panthers are 8-8-3 on the road and 3-7 in their last 10 against the Penguins. Edge Pittsburgh.
TODAY’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Saturday NFL Pick
The Houston Texans will be spotting the Buffalo Bills 2.5 points today when they host the Western New Yorkers in the Wild Card Game. The last time the Bills won a playoff game was with Jim Kelly and the K-Gun Offense but that drought ends today. The Bills’ stingy defense is ranked third in the league, allowing an average of only 16.2 points per game. Buffalo’s Devin Singletary is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and will move the chains against a Houston team that is ranked 25th against the rush. Buffalo was on the losing end in last year’s matchup with Houston but this is not the same team from a year ago. The Bills are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road dog and get it done today.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +2.5
Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
When teams head to Poughkeepsie, New York to face the Marist Red Foxes, good things usually happen, they leave with a win, and that is where the Quinnipiac Bobcats will be tonight. The Foxes are just 1-9 on the season and their lethargic offense is averaging just 57.0 points per game. The Bobcats are laying 6 in this one, they are 7-3 ATS, and are averaging 72.4 points per game. Lay it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: QUINNIPIAC BOBCATS -6
