January 21, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

Two high-variance teams square off late Wednesday night in Los Angeles as the USC Trojans host the Northwestern Wildcats at Galen Center. Tip-off is set for 11:00 p.m. ET in a non-conference matchup that could have long-term implications for both teams’ NCAA Tournament hopes. The Trojans are listed as -5.5 favorites with a total set at 152.5, and the moneyline prices are USC -270, Northwestern +220. USC comes in at 13-6, riding a four-game win streak and starting to resemble the up-tempo, athletic team many expected back in November. Northwestern, 12-7, is still searching for consistency, especially away from Evanston. But they’ve got the guard play to cover as road dogs — if they avoid digging themselves into another early

January 21, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

Gonzaga looks to extend its home dominance on Wednesday night when it hosts the Pepperdine Waves at McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane, WA. Tip-off is set for 9:00 p.m. ET. The Zags are massive 29.5-point favorites, with the moneyline set at an eye-watering -30000. Pepperdine sits at +4000 to pull off the upset, and the total is listed at 147.5. This is one of the biggest spreads on the board, and for good reason. Gonzaga has routinely crushed WCC opponents at home, while Pepperdine enters as one of the worst road teams in the conference. The betting value lies not in the outright winner — that part’s settled — but in how this game plays out across 40 minutes. Let’s

Edmonton Oilers vs New Jersey Devils Picks and Predictions January 20th

January 20, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The New Jersey Devils visit the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, with puck drop set for 10:00 PM on TNT. New Jersey comes in 25-22-2 under Sheldon Keefe, sitting 13th in the Eastern Conference and 6th in the Metropolitan. Edmonton is 25-17-8 under Kris Knoblauch, 5th in the West and 2nd in the Pacific. This is a classic “good team at home, live dog on the road” setup. The Devils just grabbed a 2-1 overtime win over Calgary, and it looked like a team that can stay patient, defend, and steal games when the goalie is on. Edmonton, meanwhile, has been rolling, and when the Oilers are feeling it offensively, you can get buried fast

Nashville Predators vs Buffalo Sabres Picks and Predictions January 20th

January 20, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The Buffalo Sabres head to Bridgestone Arena to face the Nashville Predators on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 8:00 PM on ESPN+. Buffalo is 26-18-5 and sitting 6th in the Eastern Conference, which is a pretty healthy spot, but it is not comfortable. Nashville is 23-21-4 and 11th in the Western Conference, and this feels like a game they need to stabilize after getting run out in their last one. Buffalo is coming off a 2-1 loss to Carolina, a game where they competed but just did not finish enough. Nashville is trying to shake off a brutal 7-2 loss to Vegas, and those games can linger. Sometimes you tighten up the next night. Sometimes you spiral for another week.

January 20, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The San Jose Sharks head to Benchmark International Arena to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 7:00 PM, with the game airing on NBCS. San Jose is 25-20-3 under Ryan Warsofsky and sitting third in the Western Pacific, which is not a fluke at this point. Tampa Bay is 30-13-4 under Jon Cooper and leading the Eastern Atlantic, and they’ve been playing like a team that expects to win most nights. San Jose just beat Florida 4-1 with a strong defensive game and a big performance in net. Tampa took care of Dallas 4-1, and their form is even louder: they’ve been stacking wins and controlling games in a way that usually travels well.
