NCAA Baseball Picks
Grand Canyon ML/Missouri ML +166
Am I a college baseball guru? By all means no, but Grand Canyon is playing at home against Ohio State and Missouri is a solid favorite on the road. Right now we are really just experimenting to see if betting this sport can be profitable and tonight will give us a good insight into that.
CBB Picks
Memphis ML (-155)
Memphis (20-7) @ Wichita State (14-12), 6pm CT on ESPN2
Memphis goes on the road tonight at Wichita and I really like the Tigers in this one. The shockers have not been good this year and Memphis cannot afford to drop this game for NCAA tournament reasons. Expect a big night from Kendric Davis and the Tigers.
KenPom: Memphis 75-70
Torvik: Memphis 74-71
Detroit Mercy +1.5 (-118)
Northern Kentucky (17-12) @ Detroit Mercy (13-16), 6pm CT on ESPN+
UDM comes into this game tonight on a 3 game win streak and winners of 5 of their previous 6 contests. Antoine Davis has been in a bit of a funk the previous four games, but expect college basketball's 2nd all-time leading scorer to regain his footing tonight.
KenPom: Detroit 72-69
Torvik: Detroit 69-68
North Texas ML (-152)
North Texas (23-5) @ Charlotte (16-11), 6pm CT on ESPN+
With an over/under of just 111 tonight, expect this matchup to be a game of few possessions for either team. North Texas has proven itself to be able to win in a number of ways, with a 9-2 record on the record this year. The Mean Green are riding an 8 game win streak into tonight, so roll with the favorite.
KenPom: North Texas 57-56
Torvik: North Texas 55-54
UT Rio Grande Valley +2.5 (-110)
Utah Tech (11-16) @ UTRGV (14-14), 6:30pm CT on ESPN+
UTRGV is definitely an inside joke around here at Backdoor Sports, but make no mistake this is a smart play. UTRGV getting 2.5 points at home is a must play especially due to the fact that they are playing Utah Tech who has lost 3 in a row and has a worse record than the Vaqueros.
KenPom: Utah Tech 81-80
Torvik: Utah Tech 81-80
Utah Valley ML (-154)
Utah Valley (21-6) @ Tarleton State (14-14), 7pm CT on ESPN+
Winners of 7 of their last 8 games, the Wolverines are holding steady atop the WAC here in mid-February with a comfortable 2 game lead. Even with a 10-2 home record this season for Tarleton, the Wolverines are the right side in this matchup. Take the better team in this one as Utah Valley could become a real threat in the first round of the NCAA tournament this year.
KenPom: Utah Valley 71-67
Torvik: Utah Valley 69-67
Houston Christian +1.5 (-105)
McNeese (8-20) @ Houston Christian (9-19), 7pm CT on ESPN+
I'll be the first to admit, I have no desire of watching this game tonight. However, I really like HCU in this spot, as they came out on top at McNeese in the first matchup between these two teams earlier this season. With just a 3-12 record on the road and sitting in dead last currently in the Southland, fade McNeese.
KenPom: HCU 81-78
Torvik: HCU 80-79
Milwaukee ML (-142)
PFW (16-13) @ Milwaukee (18-10), 7:30pm CT on ESPN+
The Panthers have proven to be a much better squad this year after ditching Pat Baldwin as head coach and losing Pat Baldwin Jr. to the NBA Draft last season. Milwaukee is 12-3 at home this season and sits just one game back from 1st place in the Horizon.
KenPom: Milwaukee 76-72
Torvik: Milwaukee 77-72
Eastern Washington ML
EWU (21-7) @ Weber State (15-13), 8pm CT on ESPN+
The team with the longest win streak in the country this season is not a typical blueblood powerhouse like you might expect? Nor is it even one that you've likely seen on TV at all this year. EWU looks to extend that streak tonight to 18 games in front of a hostile crowd in Damian Lillard's former home arena.
KenPom: EWU 70-69
Torvik: EWU 70-68
NHL Picks
Red Wings +1.5 (-190)
New York (33-15-9) @ Detroit (27-21-8), 6pm CT on ESPN+
Detroit has been hot recently as they have only lost two games in the month of February and the fact that they are getting 1.5 at home definitely caught my eye. They are playing a good New York Rangers team but I expect the Red Wings to keep up their good play this month and win the game outright but we're taking the points to be safe.
Devils ML (-145)
LA (32-19-7) @ New Jersey (37-15-5), 6pm CT on ESPN+
Blues ML (-120)
Vancouver (22-30-5) @ St. Louis (26-28-3), 7pm CT on ESPN+
Golden Knights ML (-135)
Calgary (27-20-11) @ Vegas (34-18-5), 8pm CT on ESPN+
Predators ML (-120)
Nashville (27-22-6) @ San Jose (18-29-11), 9:30pm CT on ESPN+
