Monday NBA Pick

The Toronto Raptors are a covering machine and they will play host tonight to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Raptors are 14-5-1 ATS on the season and 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 at Air Canada Centre. The Cavs are just 6-11-1 ATS on the season, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games against the Eastern Conference. The number has been flip-flopping but I’ve got Toronto, +1.

Tonight’s pick:

Toronto Raptors +1

Sunday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick

The Canisius Golden Griffins will try to feed off of their victory over Manhattan on Friday when they travel to West Long Beach, New Jersey to take on the Monmouth-NJ Hawks. The Golden Griffins rank 157th in offensive field goal percentage and are averaging 75.6 points per game on the road. On the flip side, the Hawks are ranked 229th in offensive field goal percentage and are averaging 77.0 points per game at home. The Golden Griffins are getting +16.5 and the numbers say they will cover.

Today’s pick:

Canisius Golden Griffins +16.5

Saturday Men’s NCAA Football Pick

The Penn State Nittany Lions are back and I don’t see the Wisconsin Badgers slowing them down today. Penn State is 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 overall and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 against the Badgers. Wisconsin’s quarterback, Alex Hornibrook, is questionable today due to a concussion. I will take the Nittany Lions and the points in this one all day.

Today’s pick:

Penn State Nittany Lions +3

Friday NCAA-Men’s Basketball Pick

Two Metro Atlantic teams will square off tonight when the Canisius Golden Griffins travel to Riverdale, NY to take on the Manhattan Jaspers. The last time these two teams met, the boys from Western New York prevailed in a 65-62 win. The Griffins are ranked 151 in offensive field goal percentage, as opposed to the Jaspers who are ranked 220. Canisius has the edge in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, defense and turnovers. I’m siding with the boys from Buffalo tonight and taking the points.

Tonight’s pick:

Canisius Golden Griffins +4

Thursday NHL Pick

The Washington Capitals have been licking their wounds after losing on Saturday 4-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but a visit from the New York Islanders tonight should brighten their spirits. The Isles are an awful 1-6-1-0 on the road this season and have struggled against the Capitals, going 3-7 in the last 10 meetings, and 1-5 in the last 6 at Verizon Center. This should be an easy one for Washington tonight.

Tonight’s pick:

Washington Capitals

Wednesday NCAA Men’s Basketball Pick

The IPFW Mastodons, who are 5-2 on the season and second in the Summit League Conference, will play a road game tonight against the Austin Peay Governors, who are 4-2 on the season and second in the Ohio Valley West Conference. One thing the Mastodons do is cover, going 37-16-2 ATS in their last 55 road games, 10-3 ATS in their last 13 Wednesday games, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against the Ohio Valley Conference. The Governors are just the opposite, going 6-21 ATS in their last 27 home games, and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 against the Summit League Conference. This coupled with the Mastodons having the edge in points per game, field goal percentage, defense, rebounding and bench, I see them winning this game and covering the 7 points.

Tonight’s pick:

IPFW Mastodons -7
