The Charlotte 49ers will be spotted 7.5 points today when they host the Old Dominion Monarchs. Charlotte’s record is nothing to write home about, at 5-12, but the 49ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 against the Conference USA. Remember, good teams win but great teams cover.
TODAY’S PICK: CHARLOTTE 49ERS +7.5
Sunday NHL Pick
The Toronto Maple Leafs will be hosting the Arizona Coyotes tonight at Scotiabank Arena. The Coyotes have not done well against their Eastern foes, going 0-5 in their last 5 against the Atlantic and 3-13 in their last 16 against the Eastern Conference. Matthews and company will get it done tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Saturday NHL Pick
The Florida Panthers snapped their 7-game losing streak last night by knocking off a really good Toronto Maple Leafs team but I wouldn’t get too excited because tonight they will be at Bridgestone Arena to face one of the best in the game, the Nashville Predators. The Panthers have not been getting it done on the road, losing their last 6, and they are 2-8-1 in their last 11 trips to the Music City.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NASHVILLE PREDATORS
Friday NHL Pick
The Washington Capitals are on a 3-game skid and it won’t get any easier for them tonight because they will be facing their ex-coach, Barry Trotz, and the red hot New York Islanders. New York will be playing back-to-back games after disposing of the New Jersey Devils last night, so fatigue could be an issue. The Islanders have not fared well against the Caps, going 1-4 in their last 5 meetings and 2-7 in their last 9 at Capital One Arena. Washington will honor their ex-skipper Trotz tonight, who took them to the Promised Land last year, but that is just a charade. Deep down inside they would love nothing more than to put the screws to him.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Thursday Men’s NCAA Baketball Pick
The Niagara Purple Eagles will travel to Albany tonight to take on the Siena Saints. Siena has not been getting it done at home, with a record of 2-5, and they have covered just 2 of their 7 home stands. The Purple Eagles road record could be better at 3-5, but they have covered the number in 5 of those 8. Niagara is averaging 73.6 points per game as opposed to Siena’s 64.9. The Purple Eagles have the edge in points per game, free throw %, rebounds, bench, and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 contests with the Saints.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES +5
Wednesday NHL Pick
The San Jose Sharks are on a roll, winning 7 in a row, and will seek their 8th straight win tonight when they travel to the desert to take on the Arizona Coyotes. The Sharks will face a team with a host of injuries and the Coyotes are just 3-11 in their last 14 home games. San Jose is getting it done on the road, winning 6 of their last 7 and they are 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Gila River Arena. The Sharks are hot, ride them ’til they’re not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN JOSE SHARKS
Tuesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Akron Zips should roll to a victory tonight at home over the Eastern Michigan Eagles. The Zips are currently laying 6.5 and they should cover the number. Akron is 7-1 at home, where they are averaging 76 points per game and allowing an average of 57. Eastern Michigan is just 1-5 on the road, where they are averaging 60.8 points per game and surrendering an average of 80.7. The Eagles are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 overall. Lay the 6.5 and take the Zips.
TONIGHT’S PICK: AKRON ZIPS -6.5
