Pick #1 2 pointer first basket of game
I would be lying if I said I put "research" into this one. 2 pointers are just typically much easier to make. I'm just rolling with it. Good luck whatever you do.
Pick #2 Hawaii
Based on last year's play, I would take Hawaii. Hawaii is a 13 point favorite at home, and I really don't think CSN will be able to produce enough to win. That's enough for me. I don't have a whole lot else to compare (with it so early in the season). Hawaii just has a better overall team. Zane Johnson was a good scorer last season, averaging about 15 points per game. Plus, he has a pretty good supporting cast. CSN's main weapon is Stephen Hicks, and the only other players that played significant against USC were Vinnie McGee and Allen Guei. If Hawaii loses, they lose. I feel much better with them either way. Good luck whatever you do.
Pick #3 Drexel Dragons (no writeup)
I'll have more tomorrow....

November 14th Picks
Pick #1 Egypt win, draw, lose by 1
With this being an international friendly, I have to take Egypt. In Brazil's last freindly, they won 2-0 against a pretty lowly Gabon team. Egypt's team fares much better than Gabon. Plus, this game is at a neutral site and Egypt is favored (-120 to -140). Just trust me, I would take Egypt. It could go either way, but I think Brazil wins by 1. Egypt should be able to keep up.
Pick #2 Hyde win
Hyde is 14-2-2, with a 27 goal difference and ranks at the top of their table. Hinckley is 5-0-9, -14 goal difference and ranks 18th in the same table. With Hyde at -200 and just posting basic info in table standings, I don't think there is much else to say. Hyde looks like the best pick of the two for sure. Since August, Hyde has gone 8-1-2 on the road. However, one thing to note, is that in their last six road games they have gone 3-2-1. Their 2 losses were to better teams than Hinckley, but their 2-2 draw was to a very poor Eastwood town team. I still think Hyde has a better shot, because overall they have been very consistent within their table. Be cautious of it being on Streak for the Cash though. Very unpredictable sometimes.

Pick #3 Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay is a pretty well-rounded team overall, ranking 11th in goals per game, 23rd in goals against, 15th in power play, and 15th in penalty kills. Winnipeg is near the bottom of everything. Their highest rank is in power play percent (20th), and then follow at 22nd in goals per game, 23rd in penalty kills and 26th in goals against. Both teams have had some time to rest after each team played on Saturday. Tampa bay is coming off a 3-0 loss on the road to St. Louis, and Winnipeg is coming off a 2-1 road loss to Columbus as well as a 5 game losing streak and 2-3 home record. These two teams met on October 29th in which Tampa Bay won 1-0 at home. This could really get sketchy with Winnipeg at home and in a desperate need of a win. Though Winnipeg's home record isn't very impressive at 2-3, Tampa Bay's road record isn't really either at 3-7. However, with the Lightning dominating every major category in defense and offense compared to Winnipeg, I'm going with them. Should be a good game. I don't expect Winnipeg to get blown out, but I do think they lose in a close one. Good luck whatever you do tonight.
More tonight for the November 15th tip-off marathon.
