Tuesday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

Two Eagle teams will clash today when the Morehead State Eagles travel to Cheney, Washington to take on the Eastern Washington Eagles. Eastern Washington is a perfect 6-0 at home, averaging 85.5 points per game in Cheney and holding teams to an average of 80.8. On the flip side, Morehead State is just the opposite on the road, going 0-5, averaging 67.2 points per game and holding teams to an average of 83.6. Morehead State is 0-6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. I’m laying the 3 here and siding with Eastern Washington.

Tonight’s pick:

Eastern Washington Eagles -3

Monday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The University of Central Florida Knights, who are 7-1 on the season and a perfect 4-0 at home, will host the 3-5 Pennsylvania Quakers tonight down in Orlando. The Knights average 76.0 points per game at home and are a defensive powerhouse, allowing an average of just 52.5 points, and are anchored by a 7’6″ giant Center by the name of Tacko Fall. The Quakers are 2-3 on the road, averaging 69.2 points away from home and allowing 65.8. The line is Central Florida -9. If they want to cover the number, they have the ability to do so.

Tonight’s pick:

UCF Knights -9

Sunday NHL Pick

The Anaheim Ducks are starting to heat up and I see them putting another notch in their belt when they take on the Ottawa Senators in an early one at the Honda Center today. The Senators are expected to have Andrew Hammond between the pipes today and if they go with him instead of Condon, he is 0-1-0, with a bloated 4.50 GAA and a .793 SV%. The Ducks are expected to have John Gibson in the net. Gibson is 9-7-4, with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 SV%. The Senators are 3-10 in their last 13 meetings with the Ducks and are just 2-7 in their last 9 at Honda Center. I like the Ducks chances in this one.

Today’s pick:

Anaheim Ducks

Saturday Men’s NCAA Football Pick

The Army Navy Classic should be an interesting game today. The line is starting to plummet. This game opened at Navy -7 and has dropped to Navy -5. The reason for this is that the Midshipmen will be without two key players, QB Will Worth and RB Toneo Gulley. This should favor the Black Knights, who are ranked #5 in the nation in total defense. I like the Boys from the Hudson today to cover.

Today’s pick:

Army Black Knights +5

Friday NBA Pick

If the Los Angeles Lakers are going to snap their 4-game skid, it should be tonight when they play the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center. The Suns are an awful 3-10 on the road, averaging 107.8 points per game and allowing 115.0 when away from The Talking Stick. The Lakers are 6-5 at home, averaging 109.2 at Staples and allowing 109.0. The line in this game is Los Angeles -1.5. It only makes sense to take the money line and forget about the hook.

Tonight’s pick:

Los Angeles Lakers -125 M/L

Thursday NHL Pick

The Carolina Hurricanes lost in a shootout last night to the Anaheim Ducks and will play again tonight when they make the short trek up the coast to take on the well-rested Los Angeles Kings. After last night’s loss, the Hurricanes are 3-7-3-3 on the road and are 0-5 in their last 5 at Staples Center. Los Angeles has been tough at home, owning a 9-3-0-1 record and the home team is 14-3-1 in the last 18 contests between these two clubs. The Kings legs are fresh and the Hurricanes legs are not.

Tonight’s pick:

Los Angeles Kings

Wednesday NHL Pick

The Anaheim Ducks will be glad to be back home after a less than productive 3-game road trip. The Ducks will host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at Honda Center, where they are 7-4-0-1. Carolina is 3-7-3-2 on the road thus far and have struggled against Anaheim, going 1-5 in the last 6 contests and 1-4 in their last 5 at Honda Center. These two clubs met in November and Anaheim prevailed 4-2. I like the Ducks chances in this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Anaheim Ducks
