EDMONTON @ OTTAWA | 02/09 | 7:00 PM EST
EDMONTON -200
ANALYSIS: Three games between these teams this season, three multiple-goal wins for the Oilers. Ottawa just can't stop either Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl as following Monday's 3-1 win they have combined for 17 points vs. the Sens this year. Presumably, both clubs will switch goalies in the second of a back-to-back, and Ottawa's Marcus Hogberg (0-4-0, 4.54 GAA) has been quite a bit worse than Edmonton's Mikko Koskinen, who allowed two goals in beating the Sens on Feb. 2. I don't really like this price of -200 on a road team, but I also don't trust Ottawa on the puckline, so we'll have to bite the bullet.

KENT ST. @ BOWLING GREEN | 02/09 | 7:00 PM EST
KENT ST. +1
ANALYSIS: I believe the wrong team is favored in this Mid-American Conference Ohio rivalry game. Kent State is off a home loss to Akron but has dropped just two of its past nine and has arguably the best player in the MAC in Danny Pippen -- no relation to NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen. Danny had 34 points and 11 rebounds when Kent State beat Bowling Green 96-91 on Jan. 27. The Falcons enter on a five-game skid and three of those were at home. KSU is 6-1 ATS in its past seven on the road, while BGSU has covered just seven of its past 32(!) at home.

ST. JOHN'S @ BUTLER | 02/09 | 9:00 PM EST
ST. JOHN'S +2.5
ANALYSIS: I'm completely with Larry Hartstein on this one and frankly don't even understand why the red-hot Johnnies are dogs. I almost picked this game yesterday when the next-day lines came out but glad I didn't as it was a pick'em then and now we get a few points -- although it's down from the +3 Larry got. Now that Greg Williams Jr. is back from injury, the Red Storm are legit and on a six-game winning streak and have covered eight in a row. In normal times, Butler would a have sizable home-court advantage but not these COVID days. Dating to last season, the Bulldogs have covered only three of 12 as home favorites.

SYRACUSE @ NC STATE | 02/09 | 6:30 PM EST
NC STATE -1
ANALYSIS: These teams played at Syracuse on Jan. 31 and the Orange won by 3. However, the Wolfpack were without 6-foot-10 senior DJ Funderburk, and he alone should turn the tables here. Syracuse has had major trouble with size this season and Funderburk averages 11.8 points on 57.1 percent shooting along with 5.1 rebounds per game. As it was, fellow frontcourt mates Manny Bates and Jericole Hellems had big games in the first matchup. "Their big guys played well last time against us. Obviously, it’s a factor in the game to play against another big guy,” SU coach Jim Boeheim said of Funderburk. Boeheim's team is 1-5 ATS on the road this season.
