MARYLAND @ NEBRASKA | 02/18 | 9:00 PM EST
NEBRASKA +2
ANALYSIS: This might be one of the few games that Nebraska can win in the conference this year. They're a measly 1-13 SU against the Big Ten this season. That's not great. However, Maryland might be vulnerable to a loss on the road here. The Terrapins are just 3-11 SU in Big Ten play and Nebraska is sneaky at home, posting a 7-1 ATS run in their last 8 on their own floor. Nebraska has played some of the good teams close in this run, too, covering as home underdogs against OSU, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Rutgers. The only recent home spread loss was to Northwestern, go figure. Anyway, if Nebraska can do it against the big names, I think they should have enough to notch a home win against Maryland or at least cover the +2.

WRIGHT ST. @ OAKLAND | 02/18 | 9:00 PM EST
OAKLAND -190
ANALYSIS: Will be playing this with Yale at -190 for a parlay price of close to +135. Oakland did lose to Wright State by 11 a few weeks ago but led at the half. No way the Golden Grizzlies can lose here on Kendrick Nunn banner night! If the NCAA NET rankings mean anything to you, Oakland, which is unbeaten at home, is 133 and Wright State 222. The Raiders enter on a two-game skid.
PENN @ YALE | 02/18 | 7:00 PM EST
YALE -189
ANALYSIS: Sometimes you mash the potatoes, sometimes they mash you. Took a solid beating yesterday ... my top pick of the day, Mount St. Mary's, decided to sit its best player 10 minutes before tipoff and that sent everything crashing down. That's the risk in picking these games early in the day. Yale is atop the Ivy League by a half-game over Penn and would clinch a spot in Ivy Madness with a victory. The Bulldogs lead the league in field goal percentage defense (.416) and three-point field goal percentage defense (.309) and have won six straight. I'm parlaying this with Oakland at -190.
+1808 135-90-3 IN LAST 228 CBB PICKS
LOS ANGELES @ VEGAS | 02/18 | 10:00 PM EST
VEGAS -168
ANALYSIS: Well, the NHL is largely making no sense right now but the Knights shouldn't lose at home to the Kings. It will be No. 2 Laurent Brossoit in net again for the Knights, but he has been as good as No. 1 Robin Lehner for much of this season and has allowed just two goals combined over his past two. LA's Jonathan Quick really hasn't been the same since the calendar turned to 2022. The Kings are 1-5 in their last six vs. a team with a winning record.
+470 56-37 IN LAST 93 NHL ML PICKS

MARIST @ SIENA | 02/18 | 7:00 PM EST
SIENA -1
ANALYSIS: The Saints have beaten Marist eight straight times in Albany. They've won three in a row and six of seven overall, including a 67-60 win in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., in which they trailed the Red Foxes by 17 with 12:28 left. Marist is clicking offensively and enters on a three-game win streak, but Siena's 1-3-1 zone gave the Red Foxes fits last time. Siena boasts the reigning MAAC Player of the Week in Anthony Gaines (53 points, 28 rebounds the past three games) and a strong atmosphere at MVP Arena. Lay the small number.
