Game: Rutgers at Georgetown (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Rutgers +14 (-110)
The Georgetown Hoyas have been as good as anyone in the Big East, as they have caught fire late in the season, and have run off 10 straight wins. Georgetown is off of a huge physical, and emotional battle at UConn, where they came back from 7 down with 1:45 left in the second overtime to squeeze out a 1-point win. It will be very easy for this team to come out flat vs. a Rutgers team that won't get their juices flowing. Rutgers may be only 13-13 on the season, but this has been a competitive team in league play. Rutgers has suffered just one loss by more than 12 points in their last 14 conference tilts. Go with Rutgers.

Penn State vs. Minnesota (NCAAB) - 3:00 PM EST Premium Play
Play: Point Spread: 16.0/-110 Penn State Pick Title: YBM-NCAAB 3* Added Play
I have been on Penn St. the last 2 games and i'm going to ride them again. Ever since a close loss at home to Iowa 4 games ago this team has been playing solid basketball. They are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and actually beat Michigan this week. The argument can be made that this is a letdown spot for Penn St, but Minnesota is in the same boat. They beat Indiana this week so I question if you will get their best performance. Remember before the win against Indiana this team was playing very poorly. They are 4-8 in their last 12 ATS and 4-8 SU Head coach Tubby Smith is known for his teams struggling down the stretch and I think the win vs Indiana was a one time deal. 16 points is asking a lot with this Minnesota team and I think Penn St. is undervalued here.
Decent 2-1 day yesterday as we were 1 bucket away from a 3-0 Sweep. Let's go 1-0 today and move to 3-1 Run over the last 2 days:
4-Unit Play. #505. Take Toronto Raptors +5.5 over Milwaukee Bucks (Saturday @ 8:35pm est).
The Raptors have fallen short the last few days and they come off a tough loss to the Pacers at home. But, you can't fault the Raptors too much in that contest given that they beat the Pacers in a buzzer beater in overtime and that was a revenge game for the Pacers. Now, look for the Raptors to still keep their playoff hopes alive as they still have 23 wins on the year and the very fact they are winning games is creating a buzz in Toronto as Rudy Gay is the new star of this team and he is here to stay. Sure, the Bucks have won back to back games including beating the Rockets on the road in a shootout and beating Dallas outright on the road. But, this team can struggle against defensive teams such as Toronto who can play defense when they need to such as losing to the Nets and Hawks at home and even beating the Sixers by just 2 points at home. Prior to these back to back wins the Bucks had lost 9 of their last 11 games. This an opportunity for us to indeed take an Underdog that can win Outright and I like the Raptors to hang tough here and stay within the spread if not win this game Outright on the road and bounce-back. The Raptors also have revenge from a loss to the Bucks earlier this season as well so this is a revenge game for them and don't be surprised if the Bucks have a bit of a let down at home today.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey
1-0 Day Yesterday as we take the Over in the Columbus/Chicago game at +120. Let's make it 2-0 in the month of March with a winner today:
4-Unit Play. #14. Take Phoenix -115 over Anaheim (Saturday @ 8pm est).
4-Unit Pick Take #5 Washington (+1.20) over Winnipeg (3pm, Saturday, March 2nd)
The Caps hit a small bump on Wednesday night in Philadelphia losing 4-1 as the Flyers jumped all over Washington from the start. I wouldn't focus on that game, for Washington played division rival Carolina the night before at home winning 3-0 while the Flyers were highly motivated come off a Monday loss at home vs Toronto that they just looked flat in. Before that loss the Cap's were playing good hockey winning five of seven games and is clearly playing better hockey after getting off to a 2-9 start on the season. Winnipeg is playing their second straight home game after beating the Devils 3-1 in their first home game coming off a five game road trip where they won four of those five games. These two played earlier in the year in Washington with the Jets winning 4-2 as a +1.45 road dog, that however was a Washington team with a new coach and a new system with a short one week training camp to get together which just is nearly enough time. I think this Washington team is much better now then their were then and I think we will see a better effort today then in their last game. I made this price with Winnipeg at just a -1.15 home favorite and the fact that we can take that with the Cap's today is good enough value for me.
2-Unit Pick Take #14 Phoenix (-1.15) over Anaheim (8pm, Saturday, March 2nd)
The Ducks played and won at home last night beating Minnesota 3-2 and now play back to back against a Phoenix team coming off a loss to that same Minnesota team on Thursday night falling behind before coming up short with a rally. Look for Phoenix to start this one off strong in a game that features the Ducks offense vs a physical Phoenix defensive team. The Ducks should have rookie goalie Viktor Fasth who is off to a 9-1 start with a 2.41 goals against but in my opinion this is a really short sample and watching this guy I don think he will regress. I think the Coyotes bounce back against a Anaheim team that is a little overrated in my book.
2-Unit Pick Take #16 Vancouver (-1.20) over Los Angeles (10pm, Saturday, March 2nd)
After a very slow start the Kings have things going winning seven of the last eight games. Vancouver has lost their last two by a combined 12-5 score after losing 4-2 at home vs Phoenix as a -1.85 favorite. That however was the first game after a four road trip and the lost in Detroit was the last game of that road trip where they didn't look as bad as the 8-3 score would indicate. Vancouver added some grit by claiming Tom Sestito off waivers from Philadelphia which is something that I think the Canucks lack. This team has talent but have been Victims of the Kings lately being knocked out of last playoffs as a heavy favorite and already on the wrong end of a 3-2 loss in Los Angeles this year. This price open with Vancouver as -1.50 home favorite before the money poured in on a Los Angeles team because of their recent surge. I think we will see a max effort from Vancouver tonight and because of the early money that has come in on Kings gives us some good value.
