Pittsburgh Penguins vs Buffalo Sabres Picks and Predictions March 5th 2026
The Buffalo Sabres head to PPG Paints Arena on Thursday for a 7:00 PM ET matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and this one has real weight in the Eastern race. Buffalo enters at 36-19-6, sitting second in the Atlantic Division and pushing for the top spot, while Pittsburgh is 31-16-13 and holding second in the Metropolitan. ESPN has the broadcast, and the market is treating this game like a near coin flip with Buffalo a slight road favorite. That feels about right at first glance, but the form tells a stronger story. The Sabres have won four straight and are 8-2 over their last 10, with wins coming in different styles. They have won tight games, opened up leads early,

Long Beach State Beach vs UC Davis Aggies Picks and Predictions March 5, 2026
The Big West action heads to the iconic Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, California, this Thursday night as the UC Davis Aggies visit the Long Beach State Beach. Tipoff is set for 10:00 PM ET, with both teams looking to find their footing as the conference tournament approaches. UC Davis enters with a respectable 17-12 record, though they’ve found the road a bit tougher than the friendly confines of Davis. Meanwhile, Long Beach State, despite a difficult 9-21 season, has shown they can still be a dangerous out on their home floor. The oddsmakers have this one pegged as a near toss-up, with the Aggies opening as slight 1.5-point favorites. While the records might suggest a mismatch, the “Pyramid factor”

UC Irvine Anteaters vs Cal Poly Mustangs Picks and Predictions March 5, 2026
The Big West Conference provides a fascinating late-night matchup this Thursday as the Cal Poly Mustangs travel to face the UC Irvine Anteaters. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:00 PM ET at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California. UC Irvine enters as a heavy favorite, boasting a 20-10 record and a strong 10-5 mark on their home floor. Cal Poly, though sitting at 13-17, has shown significant life recently and will look to carry that momentum into one of the tougher environments in the conference. The Anteaters are currently laying 9.5 points in a game with a total set at 155.5. While UC Irvine has the superior record, the Mustangs have proven to be a difficult out lately, especially when

Winnipeg Jets vs Tampa Bay Lightning Picks and Predictions March 5th 2026
Tampa Bay heads to Canada Life Centre on Thursday, March 5 for an 8:00 PM ET start on ESPN+, and the market says this is still the Lightning’s game to lose. They come in at 38-17-4 and sitting atop the Atlantic, while Winnipeg is 24-26-10 and trying to turn a decent post-break stretch into something that actually moves the wild-card needle. The Jets have pushed each of their last four games past regulation and picked up six of eight possible points in that span, but they are still chasing from behind. That is what makes this spot interesting. Tampa Bay has been the better team by a wide margin over the full season, yet it rolls in on a three-game

Calgary Flames vs Ottawa Senators Picks and Predictions March 5th 2026
Ottawa heads to the Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday night for a 9:00 PM ET start, with ESPN+ carrying a game that matters a lot more to one side than the other. The Senators come in at 29-23-9 and still chasing ground in the Eastern playoff race, while Calgary sits at 24-29-7 and looks more like a seller than a late-season threat. Ottawa is coming off that frustrating 5-4 overtime loss in Edmonton after coughing up a third-period lead, but the bigger picture still looks solid with the Sens on a 6-1-2 run. Calgary, meanwhile, just got drilled 6-1 at home by Dallas and has only three wins in its past 12 games. This is also a tricky deadline-week spot for
