Oregon Ducks vs Michigan Wolverines Picks and Predictions January 17th 2026
Michigan heads to Eugene on Saturday looking to recreate the same interior dominance it showed at Washington, where the Wolverines owned the paint and controlled the glass. Oregon, meanwhile, has been stuck in a rough stretch and now gets hit with a brutal schedule run at the worst time. The market is pricing this like a potential blowout, and that makes sense when you compare profiles: Michigan has the size and physicality to win the highest-value shots at the rim, while Oregon has been vulnerable to getting sped up and punished for turnovers. The betting angle is mostly about margin and script. If Michigan is getting clean post touches, finishing in the lane, and turning defensive rebounds into early offense,

Calgary Flames vs New York Islanders Picks and Predictions January 17th 2026
The New York Islanders head north to take on the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome in a cross-conference clash on Wednesday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 9:30 PM ET. Both clubs have been fighting for consistency all season, and while neither is comfortably in playoff position, they’re both still in the hunt — making this a quietly important matchup as we cross the midway point of the season. The Islanders are slight -112 road favorites on the moneyline, with Calgary close behind at -107. The puck line sits at -1.5 (+222) for New York and +1.5 (-280) for the Flames. The total is 5.5 goals, with juice shaded toward the Over at -121, signaling some expectation of offensive

Utah Mammoth vs Seattle Kraken Picks and Predictions January 17th 2026
The Seattle Kraken travel to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Mammoth at Delta Center in what should be a gritty Western Conference battle. Puck drop is set for 9:00 PM ET. Utah continues to solidify its identity in its inaugural season, and they’ve become a reliable home team, while Seattle is still searching for consistency in the second half of the campaign. Oddsmakers list Utah as clear -187 moneyline favorites, while Seattle sits at +154. The puck line is set at -1.5 (+136) for the Mammoth and +1.5 (-168) for the Kraken. The total is a modest 5.5 goals, which signals expectations of a slower, more defensive game — or at least two teams that have shown

Ottawa Senators vs Montréal Canadiens Picks and Predictions January 17th 2026
The Montreal Canadiens head to the Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday night to face the Ottawa Senators in a battle of Atlantic Division bottom-half teams. Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM ET, and while the playoff stakes aren’t high, there’s still betting value in this matchup — especially with two squads trying to build momentum for the second half of the season. Ottawa is a modest -130 favorite at home, with Montreal listed as a +109 underdog. The puck line favors Ottawa -1.5 at +180, while the Canadiens’ +1.5 side is juiced heavily to -222. The total is set at 6.5 goals, with juice leaning toward the Under at -115. These are the current betting lines for Canadiens vs

New York Knicks vs Phoenix-suns Picks and Predictions January 17th 2026
The Phoenix Suns open a three-game homestand spot for the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and New York’s biggest issue is clear: the defense has to stabilize. The Knicks have dropped seven of their last nine and opponents have been getting comfortable from three, which is a bad mix when you’re also dealing with key availability questions. Phoenix has been steadier than expected this season, but it’s walking into a tough matchup if Devin Booker is limited or out. Booker missed Thursday with an ankle sprain and is listed as questionable for this one. Phoenix has shown a higher floor than most expected, and that’s largely because they’ve competed consistently on both ends even through lineup fluctuation. The
