College Basketball pick today: Auburn Tigers -13 over Bradley Braves (-110), 6:00 pm ET
Auburn is ranked #13 in the country, even after losing 2 players to the NBA draft. They brought in several key pieces, including Morehead St transfer Johni Broome, and the returning players have thus far stepped up and shown improvement as well. Auburn has depth and balance, and so far, the scoring has been spread around among several players.
Bradley is a good basketball team, but they come into this one with some injury problems. Their best player, Rienk Mast, who is an all-conference first teamer, is currently down with a knee injury. They are also missing a primary offensive weapon in Ja’Shon Henry, who is out with a concussion. With these injuries, it is hard to think Bradley will keep up with Auburn for 40 minutes. For that reason, backing the Tigers to cover will be the play.

College Football pick today: Bowling Green Falcons +7 over Ohio Bobcats (-115), 7:00 pm ET
The most important question in this game is the health of Ohio quarterback Kurtis Rourke. He is having a historic season with the Bobcats, but he left with a knee injury last week. Rourke is obviously the key for the Bobcats, and if we get word that he is not playing then this becomes a hammer bet instantly.
For Bowling Green, its quarterback has also been effective — especially down the stretch. Matt McDonald threw for 395 yards and 4 touchdowns last week in a huge win over Toledo. The Falcons were 2-touchdown underdogs and they went on the road and won anyway. McDonald needs to have a big game, and fortunately for him, the Ohio secondary is quite beatable.
Bowling Green has the ability to keep this game close, whether Rourke plays or not. The Falcons’ pass rush is strong, and if Rourke plays with a gimpy knee he is not likely to be very mobile. The Falcons have covered the spread week after week, so for that reason, backing them is the move.

NHL pick today: Buffalo Sabres ML over Montreal Canadiens (-110), 7:05 pm ET
The Sabres continue their road trip following a 5-2 defeat to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. The Sabres currently have a record of 7-11-0 which is already a better start than last season. This team is currently at the bottom of the Atlantic Division, but don’t be surprised if they make a run later this season. This Sabres team can put up goals thanks to the likes of Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and Victor Olofsson. With their goal-scoring ability, back the Sabres to put up many goals tonight as they end their road trip with a victory.

NBA pick today: Denver Nuggets -5.5 over Detroit Pistons (-115), 9:10 pm ET
The Pistons are currently 29th in the NBA in defensive rating and it has shown in their most recent games. They allowed a Los Angeles Lakers team ranked 29th in offensive rating to score 128 points, while the Sacramento Kings dropped 137 on them in their last outing. As a result, look for the Nuggets to put up big numbers even if missing key pieces. For that reason backing the Nuggets to cover will be the play.
