    Analysis

    Duke has a length and athleticism advantage in this game that should show up on both ends of the floor but will be particularly impactful at helping the Blue Devils get extra possessions with offensive rebounds. NC State is dealing with injuries in the frontcourt and the Blue Devils rate as the No. 1 offensive rebounding team in ACC play, grabbing 36.5% of their opponents' missed shots. The Wolfpack have also been trending in the wrong direction on the defensive side of the ball, logging three of their least-efficient performances in the last five games.

    Analysis

    The Bison have covered eight straight. That stretch includes a 72-53 win at Coppin State, when Howard was laying 14.5. The Eagles give up a MEAC-high 80.4 points per game and allow opponents to shoot a league-best 37.7 percent from deep. Howard's only loss in the past eight games came in overtime to nonconference opponent Yale. The Bison are ranked second nationally in Haslametrics' positive momentum metric. They've won their past four games by an average of 29 points. Look for them to close out their home schedule in blowout fashion.

    Analysis

    Just sent out the reformatted newsletter and this game is part of my new Parlay of the Day segment. You will have to sign up to see. The Rangers are a bad offensive team, but Igor Shesterkin remains among the NHL's top goalies. Among all this season with 30 or more starts, his .913 save percentage is tied for third and his 2.45 goals against average ranks fifth. Counterpart Elvis Merzlikins has allowed three or fewer goals in six starts in a row. Think only 3-3 gets us (avoid that fate in the parlay). The model has 5.3 goals scored.

    Analysis

    The Winter Olympics break proved particularly ill-timed for Blue Jackets, who had won seven straight and eleven of twelve in their "Bowness Bounce" before Milan-Cortina. No wins in two (though picking up a point vs. the Islanders) since, yet can still say that since Rick Bowness took over behind the bench in January, the defense has stiffened, and Elvis Merzlikins has stopped 89 of 97 shots (.917 saves) across his last four starts in goal. Meanwhile the Rangers' offense continues to struggle for Mike Sullivan, with the recent trade of top scorer Artemi Panarin to LA further reducing the firepower, though Igor Shesterkin hasn't looked bad in goal (2.37 GAA, .912 saves) in two starts since the Olympic break. Play Blue Jackets-Rangers Under

    Analysis

    Sunday reminded me why I only do half units in MLB spring. This has little to do with the Tigers, although several regulars are in and Framber Valdez is pitching. But Atlanta's lineup is utter trash -- I don't see a single close-to regular and maybe only a couple guys on the OD roster as reserves. Who the heck is cleanup hitter Tristin English? Maybe a modern-day Crash Davis considering he's almost 29 and has gotten a total of 22 at-bats in a cup of coffee in the Show. Both clubs come off Sunday ties, and that is a threat in the spring.
