Philadelphia vs. Buffalo
Pick: Philadelphia -109
Philadelphia has turned things around, getting five of a possible six points in its last three games to move within three points of the eighth-place New York Islanders. The Flyers have allowed three goals the last three games and are 8-2 against the Atlantic Division. They face a slumping Buffalo squad that is #21 in goals scored, #18 in goals allowed, #29 in penalty killing. Buffalo squandered a three-goal lead in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers earlier in the season. They did so again on Sunday as it fell for the sixth time in seven outings in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh. The sputtering Sabres also have blown third-period leads in three of their last five games. The Sabres are 21-48 in the third game of a three-in-four situation and the Flyers are 14-6 in the last 20 meetings.

Play: Brighton & Hove -1
Tuesday's Bonus Play is a play on Brighton laying a goal at Rotherham. With a couple of back to back losses their last two a trip to Rotherham couldn't come at a better time for a Brighton side looking to stay in the top two with a promotion spot into the EPL next season. Lay the goal here.

Pittsburgh vs Georgia Tech
Play: Georgia Tech +1.5
These teams just met a week ago and the Yellow Jackets won 61-52 in Atlanta on Feb. 28. They're 5-2 ATS in their past seven, and 11-4 ATS in their past 15 overall. It's uncertain why they'e underdogs, all things considered. The Panthers are 0-4 SU in their past four outings and 0-3 ATS in the past three. Look for the Jackets to come out on top.

Pittsburgh vs. Georgia Tech
Pick: Georgia Tech +1.5
Georgia Tech could enhance its tournament resume with a strong showing in the ACC tournament which gets underway Tuesday when the Yellow Jackets take on Pitt at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Yellow Jackets (17-14) have three very impressive victories over ACC regular season champ North Carolina, Notre Dame and Florida State. Should Georgia Tech beat the Panthers, they would then face sixth-seeded Virginia.
For Georgia Tech head coach Josh Pastner, the end of the season had to be somewhat disappointing. The Yellow Jackets could have really made a strong case for an NCAA tournament bid but dropped three of their last four ACC games. If they are to make some noise in the ACC tourney, it starts with guard Josh Okogie, the team’s leading scorer. Okogie, a 6-foot-4 freshman, averages 15.5 points per game. Ben Lammers (14.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg) and Tadric Jackson (11.7 ppg) are the only other double figures scorers for Georgia Tech, a team that struggles on the offensive end. The Yellow Jackets average just over 67 points a game, which is among the worst in the nation.
Pitt has really struggled this season. In the team’s final 16 games of the season, the Panthers won just three times. Pitt lost its last four consecutive regular season games after upsetting then 17th-ranked Florida State. Michael Young leads the Panthers in scoring averaging 19.9 points per game. Pitt, 15-16 on the season, won just four ACC games all season.

On the heels of my free winner on Albany last night, my money is on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets plus the points against the Pittsburgh Panthers, as the two open ACC Tournament action.
Though G-Tech suffered through a rough time toward the end of the season, there is an outside shot this team could be dancing later this month. If the Jackets could make an improbable run to the title game of this event, don't be surprised to see them burst a mid-major's bubble.
Georgia Tech did upset Florida State and regular-season champion North Carolina this season, so it is not unthinkable that a team with a 17-14 mark can go on a run here.
And make note Georgia Tech just beat the Panthers 61-52 last week on Senior Night. In fact, the Jackets have won the last two games in the series after losing the first three.
I'm taking the Yellow Jackets here, as they'll roll past Pittsburgh.
