College basketball pick today: Alabama Crimson Tide -7.5 over San Diego State Aztecs (-110), 6:30 pm ET
Tonight’s NCAA Tournament slate opens with #1 Alabama taking on San Diego State. The Tide are playing about as well as a team can play at the moment. They are a top-5 defensive team and have a top-20 offense to go with it. More than that, the Tide play at one of the fastest tempos in the country and they are not dependent upon any one player to have a great game.
The Aztecs, on the other hand, are a top-5 defensive team, but their offense is one of the slowest in the country. They rank 250th in the nation in terms of pace. The Aztecs have only one player scoring in double figures, and they will struggle to win a game that is played in the high 70s or above, as Alabama most typically plays. This looks to be a bad spot for them, therefore backing the Crimson Tide to roll will be the best play.

NHL pick today: New Jersey Devils vs Buffalo Sabres – Over 7 goals (+115), 7:07 pm ET
The Devils have shown this season they have depth and the ability to score on all their lines. Ranking 7th in goals scored, the Devils might even have enough depth to make a deep playoff run.
The Sabres, on the other hand, are on a 4-game losing streak. They have given up at least 5 goals in each of their last 4 games and do not look to have the defense in order to make a push for the playoffs. However, the Sabres have shown they can put the puck in the net, ranking 5th in the league with 251 goals. The over is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings between these teams in Buffalo. Therefore, backing the over will be the play tonight.

NBA pick today: Milwaukee Bucks -9 over Utah Jazz (-115), 9:10 pm ET
There was no kidding around for the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game as they demolished the Spurs 130-94 on their home court. In just 24 minutes Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 31 points and grabbed 14 rebounds before calling it a night. They come into this game as 9-point favorites, and they beat the Jazz 123-97 earlier in the season in Milwaukee, with Giannis out of the lineup. They’ve also gone 7-3 SU in their last 10 so there’s really not that much pressure on them in tonight’s game.
With Jordan Clarkson, Rudy Gay and Lauri Markkanen all out tonight, backing the Bucks to cover will be our play.
