NHL Picks: Nashville predators at Winnipeg Jets

NHL Picks: Nashville Predators at Winnipeg Jets The Nashville Predators are one of the streakiest teams in hockey. They are again on a fantastic run, anchored in excellent goaltending in defense but finally scoring enough to be a viable Cup contender. 19 goals in their last four games and 25 in their last six show that this team can score in bunches. Lucky for them, the Winnipeg Jets give up goals in bunches.

Moreover, the Winnipeg Jets are also a streaky team. The Jets just dealt their best player to a playoff contender and are in rebuilding mode. Winnipeg gives  ...

2015-16 MLB Preseason Picks: AL Central Predictions – Royals, Tigers

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL Central Picks – Royals, Tigers, Twins It’s easy to ignore the chaos that consumed the AL Central last year and look only at the Kansas City Royals and their success. The Royals were projected by many, myself included, to take a step back last year. They did not. More surprisingly, the Minnesota Twins finished above .500, the Detroit Tigers tanked, and the full mediocrity of this division was absolutely astonishing. This year, who will emerge?

1. Kansas City Royals (90-72): It’s hard to put your finger on the Kansas City Royals. They have serviceable, young pitching  ... 

Free NHL Picks Contest: Philadelphia Flyers at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks Contest: Philadelphia Flyers at Florida Panthers

Saturday, March 12th

Well, I’ve got a two game lead so I took to the public to let you guys choose the game that I would beat you all with. After three submissions, I picked the game that was the furthest out to let everyone have a chance to put their picks in. The result is the Philadelphia Flyers at the Florida Panthers being what I hope will be the decisive selection.

The Florida Panthers have been slumping lately and are staggering down the stretch, while the Philadelphia Flyers find  ... 

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at LA Kings

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at LA Kings Consider of all our logic and reasoning from last night’s win against the Montreal Canadiens, add a back to back, and substitute a team that has won four of five instead of nine in a row. It looks like an awfully similar equation, and I like the LA Kings to beat the Habs tonight.

The Canadiens are playing better, as evidenced by the overtime battle they just had on the road with one of the best teams in hockey. Now, however, they will insert a backup goalie for the man who kept them  ... 

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at Anaheim Ducks Preview

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at Anaheim Ducks Recently, the Montreal Canadiens have stopped being laughably terrible. They have started to win games again and are no longer on a skid from the upper echelon of the league to the deepest depths of despair. Without Carey Price, the Habs simply haven’t been competitive until recently. With him, they would likely be one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference.

The Anaheim Ducks stumbled mightily in the beginning of the season. They, unlike the Montreal Canadiens, had no real reason for their terrible start. Anaheim was a team that I predicted  ... 

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL East – Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox

2015-16 MLB Predictions: AL East Picks, Blue Jays, Yankees, Red Sox March 1st means it’s time for another round of preseason baseball predictions.  I always like to start with my favorite division, the AL East, and my favorite team, the New York Yankees.  Sure, maybe I’m something of a homer, but it has never really let me down in the past.  I like the New York Yankees to survive the AL East and win the division, while the rest of the teams cannibalize themselves yet again.

So last year was something of a disaster for the Boston Red Sox and  ... 

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Pittsburgh Penguins

NHL Picks: Arizona Coyotes at Pittsburgh Penguins It seems like we’ve been picking on the Arizona Coyotes of late, but with good reason. This mediocre team has lost five in a row, plummeting in the standings and falling eight points out of the wild card race. Their road trip continues as the visit a very strong Pittsburgh Penguins team, and there appears to be no end in sight. So, in keeping with picking on this nonsense franchise, I’ll take advantage of a sharp edge to the home team here. 

I really don’t think there should be hockey in Arizona. In fact,  ... 

NHL Picks: New York Islanders at Edmonton Oilers

NHL Picks: New York Islanders at Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers are on a long losing streak. They are playing their third game in four nights and have been absolutely terrible. This is a young team that has given up on their season and now the Oilers host one of the best teams in hockey, the New York Islanders.

The issue here is obviously travel. The New York Islanders are on a lengthy road trip and all the way out west. This is certainly a dangerous game, and the Islanders could suffer from their schedule of late. Still, if they  ...
