Vancouver Canucks - Sabres Rank 1
"Info: Tonight or actually in the morning 04:00 (Sweden), Buffalo Sabres is taking the flight to Vancouver with several losses in their luggage. The Sabres has lost against California, Los Angeles and San Jose and we are quite sure that this will be the fourth loss. Buffalo Sabres will meet New Jersey at home on Wednesday and their mind is more focused on the next game than this one.
As all the NHL followers know, the Canucks are on fire with an incredible form right now. With Alex Burrows, Henrik and Daniel Sedin which has scored 28 goals and 49 assists togheter, this game should be easy, even against the sabres. Chasing their fifth straigth win and having their fans behind them, the Canucks will be the winners at the end of this tight game and with a great odds on Betsson, we give this pick a rank 1."

Calgary -160
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this matchup favors the Calgary Flames as they'll look to finally bust out of their current slump with a concerted effort on both sides of the ice in front of the hometown crowd:
New coach Davis Payne led the Blues on a four-game winning streak earlier this month, but they have followed that up by dropping three of four.
Saturday night’s 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim was especially disheartening after the Blues blew a 3-0 lead in the final 15 minutes of regulation and were outshot 17-3 in the third period; playing against a desperate and determined Calgary team after a loss like they just experienced is not what the doctor ordered for St. Louis.
Also keep in mind that St. Louis beat the Flames in a shootout on Dec. 23rd in Calgary, so they'll have to deal with the "revenge" factor as well.
Not only is St. Louis just 5-10 its last 15 overall, its also 2-5 its last seven on the road.
On the other side of the ice: The Flames’ last five losses have come in regulation, and their offense continued to sputter in a 3-1 home loss to Chicago on Thursday night. They totaled 20 shots on goal and were held to one goal or fewer for the fourth time in their last five games.
Captain and leading scorer Jarome Iginla was held without a goal for the 10th straight game, and he’s totaled just two assists in his last nine contests. Iginla hasn’t gone 11 consecutive games without a goal since the start of the 1999-00 season.
There's no question that Calgary has been struggling; 0-5 its last five overall; 0-5 its last five at the Saddledome; but it does have precedence on its side; 14-4 its last 18 vs. St. Louis.
Bottom line: Calgary had the NHL’s second-best winning % at home over the previous three seasons, and it hasn’t gone six straight without a win at the Saddledome since an 0-4-2 stretch with four ties Oct. 21-Dec. 4, 2000; look for CALGARY to improve to 7-5 (+2 units) revenging a home loss vs. an opponent and for St. Louis to fall to 10-17 (-6.7 units) when playing against a team with a winning record!

Missouri +12
Too many points in this border war. Yes KU has a huge home court advantage and they were uncontested at Iowa State this weekend. Mizzou 's defense and full court pressure and run the floor style will have them in this game at the end. The destroyed Nebraska this weekend and penetrated NU's tough defense all day. While KU is the better team and have won by 25 and 19 the last two times at Fog Allen, I see the stats and look at this game outside of the stats and the importance on it and heated rivalry, and I see a lower scoring game with both teams playing defense, and that puts the 12 points we are getting at a premium. KU by 8 to 9 points.
Play 1 Unit on Missouri.
