NHL Picks: Calgary Flames at San Jose Sharks

NHL Picks: Calgary Flames at San Jose Sharks

The San Jose Sharks have been stumbling through this season. They’ve looked old, sloppy, thin defensively, and you can probably even question their goaltending. The once “sure thing” of a San Jose Sharks home win against weak teams is now squarely in question at just 11-9 against the spread this season. That said, the Sharks have won four of six and finally look sharp again.

The line is a little sharp but there’s value here. The Calgary Flames are just four points behind the Sharks, but they’re the inferior team. This  ... 

NFL Playoffs Picks, AFC Championship: Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots

NFL Playoffs Picks, AFC Championship: Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots

It’s hard to imagine anyone taking down the New England Patriots at home. The Pats have been great at home, and Tom Brady’s numbers on his own field have been spectacular this season. The Indianapolis Colts defense is sloppy, and it’s hard to see them shutting down the Pats. Then again, it was hard to imagine them shutting down the Denver Broncos, and they found a way to do that.

I believe Peyton Manning was pretty incapacitated by his injury but tried to play through it. I  ...

NFL Playoffs Picks, NFC Championship: Seahawks Packers

NFL Playoffs Picks, NFC Championship: Green Bay Packers vs Seattle Seahawks (-7.5) We had a perfect bracket in the NFC this year after an injured Aaron Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers through some controversy last round. Hell, the Dallas Cowboys were only there because of a similar officiating issue, so we feel like it all balanced out (in our favor). So, with nothing broken, why change a thing? We’ll stick to our original prediction here – especially given the health of Aaron Rodgers – and take the Seattle Seahawks at home.

Quite frankly, the Packers looked scared the first time  ... 

Free NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Canucks Lightning

NHL Picks Contest ($100 Prize): Vancouver Canucks at Tampa Bay Lightning

Tuesday, January 20th

The Tampa Bay Lightning are fresh off a horrible loss to a 33-year-old rookie goalie and the Philadelphia Flyers at the time of this writing, but their offense remains one of the most explosive in hockey. The Vancouver Canucks, at the time of this writing, have scored one goal in their last two games, both at home. Both teams have had solid seasons. Both teams are stumbling right now. Tampa Bay is a long way away from Vancouver, but the Lightning, for me, have been the more volatile team this year. Who ya got? As always, simply comment on this post on our Facebook page to be eligible for our contest and the $100 prize!

Here are our NHL Picks Contest standings so far:

NHL Picks: Tampa Bay Lightning at Philadelphia Flyers

NHL Picks: Tampa Bay Lightning at Philadelphia Flyers The Tampa Bay Lightning are one of the better teams in hockey. They have an anchor in net in Ben Bishop and one of the most effective, explosive, exciting offenses in hockey. The Philadelphia Flyers have all the promise Claude Giroux once held, a backup goalie, and the aftermath of a roster that collapsed once Chris Pronger’s head injury prematurely ended his career.

The Lightning matchup well here and the Flyers are stumbling through this season. I think they’ll put up a bunch of goals on this weak defense and unknown goalie.

The computer agrees, expecting the Tampa Bay Lightning to take this one. The Score Predictor predicts a 4-1 victory, while the computer algorithm says there is a 67% chance of victory with five stars of value in the line.

All systems go here.

Lightning 3 – Flyers 2

NHL Picks: Winnipeg Jets at Anaheim Ducks

NHL Picks: Winnipeg Jets at Anaheim Ducks The line is a little sharp here, but it seems worthwhile. The Anaheim Ducks are one of the top teams in the west, while the Winnipeg Jets are wildly inconsistent. Throw in some fatigue from a team like the Jets that lacks some depth and I think the explosive offense of the Ducks will shine through here – especially against a weak goalie.

The Jets are tired and coming off a big win, but are traveling all the way to southern California and should be suffering some fatigue. They’re also the inferior team here  ...

NFL Playoffs Predictions: Are We Headed for a Broncos Seahawks Super Bowl?

NFL Playoffs Predictions, Updated Bracket: Broncos Seahawks Super Bowl Rematch?We were perfect in the first round, going 2-0 against the spread and 4-0 on the money line. As such, our bracket really doesn’t need any updating. That said, it’s the NFL Playoffs and I’m too excited not to make another post. So, next round, same predictions, but with a little more analysis on the games that remain. We’re all chalk here, but I don’t really see any budding upsets like we had in the first round.

NFL Playoffs Predictions: Divisional Round

AFC

1. New England Patriots OVER 6. Baltimore Ravens

Thank you, Baltimore, for coming through as underdogs in the first round. That said, it looked like easy money. Baltimore is a winning franchise that was playing an arch rival they were extremely familiar with while the Steelers were without their top running back and arguably best and most important player. Now an extra-rested New England Patriots team hosts a shoddy  ...
