The St. Louis Blues will travel to Scotiabank Saddledome tonight to take on the Calgary Flames. The Blues are tough on the road, with a record of 6-2-1-0, and have dominated the Flames, going 8-3 in their last 11 meetings, and 4-1 in their last 5 trips to Calgary.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ST. LOUIS BLUES
Sunday NFL Pick
The New Orleans Saints are winners of six in a row but I see that coming to an end today when they travel to western New York to take on the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are 4-0 at home and have one of the top defenses in the league. Buffalo’s quarterback Tyrod Taylor now has a new weapon, Kelvin Benjamin, to add to his arsenal. Game time temperature will be 40 degrees and cloudy, and add to that 80,000 crazed Bills fans, which all benefits Buffalo.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +2.5

Friday NHL Pick
Two of the original six teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins, will meet north of the border tonight at Air Canada Centre. The Leafs have been tough at home, with a record of 6-3-0-0, and are 5-2 in their last 7 games against the Atlantic Division. Mike Babcock is still being vague about Auston Matthews’ return but he didn’t skate yesterday so I doubt that we will see him tonight. On the flip side, the Bruins are 1-3-0-1 on the road, 1-5 in their last 6 games against the Atlantic Division, and 0-4 in their last 4 meetings with Toronto. Two key players for Boston, Brad Marchand and Noel Acciari, will be game time decisions. With or without Matthews, I like Toronto’s chances in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Thursday NHL Pick
Two of the top teams in the NHL will square off tonight when the Tampa Bay Lightning travel to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Kings. The Lightning will be playing back-to-back games after knocking off San Jose last night 5-1 at SAP Center so fatigue might be a factor. The Kings boast the best defense in the league and are expected to have Jonathan Quick between the pipes. Quick is tough to score on, with a 2.06 GAA, and a .937 SV%. Tampa is expected to go with Peter Budaj, who has a 4.00 GAA, and a .855 SV%. The Lightning are 1-4 in their last 5 trips to Los Angeles so consider the Kings in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS

Tuesday NHL Pick
The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost two in a row and who would they rather have visit PPG Paints Arena to get out of their funk other than the Arizona Coyotes? No one. Arizona is 2-12-2-0 on the season, with a road record of 1-7-1-0, and they are 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Pittsburgh. Take the Champs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
