Sugar’s “Topless Tuesday” College Pick
Michigan (-3) @ Illinois (WINNER!)
Illinois heads into tonight riding a 3 game win streak. Unfortunately this 3 game win streak also doubled the number of conference wins they have this season. From January 8th thru February 15th (38 days), the Fighting Illini went 1-10. They lost games at home; they lost games on the road; shit, the whole country lost just having to watch this team “play”. They’re coming off a big upset win in East Lansing which featured Michigan State’s worst performance since 1898; their inaugural season. The Wolverines are looking to lock up the Big Ten regular season title. Look for the Wolverines to come into town and go to work on Illinois.
Sugar’s Pick: Michigan -3
Puck Picks of the day
Carolina @ San Jose -215 (L)
Carolina started their West Coast swing with a 5-3 loss in Anaheim. Tonight they ride into San Jose looking for a different result. Unfortunately for them, the Sharks have a potent offense that will most likely light them up for another 4-5 goals. Look for Carolina to get eaten alive in the Shark Tank as the Sharknado takes its next victim.
Sugar’s Pick: San Jose -215
Vancouver (+1.5) @ Phoenix (WINNER!)
On paper the Canucks win this game 32-1. This season has been a non-stop struggle for Vancouver though and the “numbers” tell a different story. As much as I hate the Canucks, and I really fuckin’ hate them, I think Vancouver wins this one. If not, they should still cover. Both teams are coming off 4-2 losses and are looking to rebound with a win. The playoff race is getting tight and both teams need points badly. Vancouver has the star power to score in bunches while the Yotes play a passive style, more suited to their talent level. Look for Tortorella’s team to roll in the desert, increasing the Yotes’ chances of hitting the links in a couple weeks.
Sugar’s Pick: Vancouver +1.5
UPSET PICK OF THE NIGHT
Detroit (+110) @ New Jersey (L)
The Devil’s are old as balls (see my last write up on them for more details on that subject). Detroit will be without Zetterberg and most likely Datsyuk as well. Datsyuk’s menstrual cramps are debilitating and he will be out once again. Seriously though, he sits out a shit ton. Nevertheless, the Wings have consistently found scoring from their young stars. Tatar and Nyquist will be leading the offensive charge as Detroit heads into Jersey. The Devils are too old to keep up with the Wing’s speed and puck control. Detroit, coming off a 6-1 win in Ottawa, takes this game and continues the push for another post season appearance.
Sugar’s Pick: Detroit +110
