Tuesday NHL Pick

The Minnesota Wild have not been kind to visitors at Xcel Energy Center, with a record of 24-5-5, and tonight they will host the Colorado Avalanche, a team they would really like to put the screws to. The Avalanche won both meetings this year, 7-1 on March 2nd, and 7-2 on January 6th, but both games were in Colorado. The Avalanche have not fared well in Minnesota, going 2-10 in their last 12, and the home team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. Consider the Wild in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD

Monday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The IPFW Mastodons will play an early one today at home against the Central Michigan Chippewas. At the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, the Mastodons have been tough on opponents, with a record of 13-2, where they average 85.3 points per game and hold teams to an average of 77.4. The Chips come into this game with a road record of 4-8, where they are averaging 78.4 points per game, and holding teams to an average of 81.3. IPFW are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against the Mid American Conference. Lay the 5 and take the home team in this one.
TODAY’S PICK: IPFW MASTODONS -5

Sunday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The Davidson Wildcats and the Rhode Island Rams will play an early one today for the Atlantic 10 title at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The Wildcats looked impressive yesterday when the won easily over a very talented St. Bonaventure team. Davidson has been averaging 78.8 points per game at a neutral site and they are allowing an average of 72.4. The Rams, who fell to the Wildcats on March 2nd, 63-61, are averaging 74.0 points per game on a neutral court and allowing an average of 74.5. Davidson will have the edge in Points Per Game, Field Goal Percent, Free Throw Percent, Defense and Turnovers. The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and will be getting 3 points in this one.
TODAY’S PICK: DAVIDSON WILDCATS +3

Saturday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The Buffalo Bulls took care of business yesterday, blowing out Kent State, 78-61, and should do the same tonight when they face the Toledo Rockets in Conference Tournament play. The Bulls have been lighting it up at neutral sites, averaging 82.0 points per game, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Rockets are averaging 67.5 points per game on a neutral court and are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Bulls beat the Rockets easily on January 2nd, 104-94, and should do the same today. Keep an eye on Buffalo. They are a dangerous team.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BULLS -6.5

Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The Nevada Wolf Pack will try to avenge last Saturday’s 79-74 road loss to the San Diego State Aztecs when they meet tonight in Conference Tournament play at the Thomas and Mack Center. The Pack is ranked #22 in the nation and proved they can put the screws to the Aztecs, like they did when they drilled them at Lawlor Center on February 10th, 83-58, but home court advantage does not factor in tonight. Nevada is averaging 77.2 points per game at a neutral site and allowing an average of 72.0. On the flip side, San Diego State is averaging 75.0 points per game at a neutral site and allowing an average of 71.0. I see this as a close game, with Nevada coming out on top.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK M/L

Thursday NHL Pick

The Nashville Predators are on a roll, winning 9 in a row, and they will seek their 10th tonight when they host the Anaheim Ducks. Nashville has not been kind to visitors at Bridgestone Arena, with a record of 23-7-1-2, and especially Anaheim, who is just 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Nashville. However, Anaheim has also been on a roll, winning three in a row and 7 of their last 10. The Ducks looked sharp on Tuesday when they blanked the Washington Capitals, 4-0, at Honda Center. On one day’s rest, Anaheim is 6-0 in their last 6 games, and they are 5-0 in their last 5 against the Central. This game looks ripe for an upset.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS
