4-Unit Play. #519. Take LSU +8 over Tennessee (Wednesday @ 7pm est)
4-Unit Play. #552. Take San Diego State -11.5 over Wyoming (Wednesday @ 10pm est).
4-Unit Play. #542. Take St. Louis -3 over VCU (Wednesday @ 9pm est).
LSU will be up for this game against Tennessee. And in a game totaling 133 points roughly, grabbing 8 points is a decent idea here. LSU had 18 wins last year and had a very young team that lost in overtime to Tennessee 74-69 and this is a revenge game for LSU from that contest. LSU has started to play better basketball as well as after starting the year 0-4, they have now moved up to 6-6 in conference play going on a 6-2 conference run. This team is making some waves in conference play and though they might not be going to the NCAA Tournament unless they win their conference, they are certainly making a case for a postseason bit currently. The benchmark game for LSU for this contest is a tight 2 point loss to Alabama earlier this year on the road and Tennessee plays similar to Alabama in that way. LSU is a good rebounding team and does have size that could give the Vols some trouble and with the Vols coming off a monster win against Kentucky I expect them to possibly have a let down here. Look for a low scoring contest here as this game reminds me a lot of the Marist +7.5 against Rider game and should be tight most of the way through. The San Diego State team is better than Wyoming but that did not show in their last meeting as they lost 58-45. For a team that is as talented as San Diego State to score 45 points is a surprise. Now, Wyoming goes on the road and a good benchmark for this game is Wyoming's loss to Colorado State 65-46. This is a San Diego State team that comes off back to back losses against UNLV and Colorado State by a combined total of 8 points and they are hungry for a big home win and with revenge to boot. Look for them to bounce-back here at home. Finally, as good as Coach Smart and VCU are, they struggle a bit more on the road. They face a St. Louis team that has a knack for getting up for big games. This is a team that is definitely heading into the tournament having beat Butler at home 75-58, beating Dayton at home by 29, winning their last 6 conference games and playing a VCU team that does not have a road win against a top 100 team. This is a vulnerable spot for VCU and a tough game for them in many aspects. VCU is still a young team and with St. Louis sporting several juniors and seniors, I'll take the senior laden team at home here.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey
Winning Hockey Week last Week, Winning January and we are working hard towards a Winning February to boot. Let's Roll:
4-Unit Play. #59 Take Detroit Red Wings -105 vs. Nashville (Tuesday @ 8:05 pm est)
4-Unit Play. #61 Take San Jose Sharks +110 vs. St. Louis (Tuesday @ 8:05 pm est)
This is the first time Detroit and Nashville are meeting since the Predators defeated the Red Wings in five games in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs last season. Detroit put a lot of pucks on net as the Red Wings' high-end talent up front includes Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppua as all return to lead a talented group of forwards. They have the pieces in place to remain a Stanley Cup contender, to make the playoffs for the (22nd) straight season. This game will be a great indicator for Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock as he needs to find that winning formula the fan base in "Hockey Town" have grown accustomed to. The Predators offense just to unreliable and they keep relying on the giant Fin, Pekka Rinne, in goal. As per the Sharks contest, Sharks GM Doug Wilson elected to bring back coach Todd McLellan after the team finished seventh in the Western Conference and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by this St. Louis Blues hockey team. St. Louis will be back home after completing a perfect three-game road trip while the Sharks are (14-3) in their last (17) games playing on (3) or more days rest. With a (1.94) GAA and (.930) save percentage in (11) games this season, the Sharks ?Man between the Pipes? Antti Niemi, has certainly earned his keep but the Sharks need to regain the bite in their offense.
