Red Wings vs Ducks NHL Spread/Handicapping
Headline:Duck Look to Keep Roll Going Versus Visiting Wings
The Anaheim Ducks will look to continue their assault on top spot in the NHL Friday when they host the Detroit Red Wings for the first of two meetings between the clubs in three days. Not that they really need it but Corey Perry will be back in the lineup Friday after serving his four game suspension – the Ducks went 3-0-1 in his absence and are now a staggering 15-1-3 in their last 19 games.
Hilltoppers vs Jayhawks East Region Spread/Handicapping
I was a little surprised that Kansas received the #1 seed but their resume passes the test. Another season, another regular season title (shared) and conference tournament title.
Demons vs Gators South Region Spread/Handicapping
At one point Florida was in the conversation about the best teams in the nation. They sputtered for a while though which is why they have only a #3 next to their name. There were clearly the best team in the SEC but that might not be saying all that much, especially after they lost in the SEC tourney final to Ole Miss.
Devils vs Hurricanes NHL Spread/Handicapping
Headline: Devils vs. Hurricanes – Someone`s Losing Streak Will Come to an End
Two struggling Eastern Conference teams and former Division leaders meet in an effort to right their own ships on Thursday night when the New Jersey Devils head to Raleigh to take on the Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils have lost three straight to fall out of a playoff spot in the East while the Carolina Hurricanes have lost four straight to fall behind the Winnipeg Jets in the Southeast.
Tigers vs Hurricanes East Region Spread/Handicapping
There has never been hoops expectations like there are in Miami this year. A team that was considered middle of the pack went on to win regular season and tournament ACC titles to earn a #2 seed.
Great Danes vs Blue Devils MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
The Blue Devils made an early exit from the ACC tournament but it didn’t damage their profile too much as they are still a #2 seed.
WEST Region: Gaels vs. Buckeyes
The Iona Gaels are in the NCAA Tournament for a second straight year. They are hoping to get rid of the bad taste in their mouths left from last year’s loss to BYU (they led by more than 20 points).
Midwest Region: Aggies vs Cardinals
The North Carolina A&T Aggies picked up a nice 73-72 win over Liberty in the Opening Round Game Tuesday in Dayton, but things will get a whole lot tougher for the Aggies on Thursday evening.
Midwest Region: Rebels vs Badgers
The #12 seed upset over the fifth seed is one of those things you can count on every year. There will almost definitely be one again this year, but could it be the Mississippi Rebels against the Wisconsin Badgers?
Tigers vs Rams MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
The Rams are riding the Mountain West Conference wave this year. They had another very good season losing just 8 games all season long and finishing second in the MWC.
Panthers vs Shockers West Region Spread/Handicapping
All of the advanced metrics say that this Pittsburgh team is really good. They aren’t horrible but I just don’t see it. What I do see is a team that is better than average in the deepest conference in America. They have a few nice wins but this is probably one of the least impressive Pitt teams of the past decade.
Wild vs Red Wings NHL Spread/Handicapping
Headline: Rivalry Night Features Surging Western Conference Teams – Wings Host Wild
The Northwest leading Minnesota Wild continue their road trip on Wednesday night with a date in Hockeytown to face a Red Wings team that seems to be coming into its own after the mid-way point of the season.
Midwest Region: Crusaders vs Spartans
While the Madness technically gets started Tuesday night now with the Opening Round (Play-In) games, the true start of the tournament is Thursday afternoon. The first game everyone will tune in to is Valparaiso and Michigan State in the Midwest Region.
Broncos vs Explorers Play In Game Spread/Handicapping
They are not as good as the football team but the basketball Broncos are better than you think. They were a very good 12-2 in the nonconference part of their schedule including an impressive win at Creighton that wasn’t even close.
Dave B’s NHL Power Rankings – UP TO March 18th, 2013
Well, the rich just keep getting richer and unfortunately, the poor just keep getting poorer in the world of the NHL. This week there is little change at the top and at the bottom but there is some differences in the middle of the pack.
