Michigan and Ohio State are not only rivals, but have been mirror images of each other so far this season as both followed hot starts with January struggles. The Buckeyes (14-7) and Wolverines (13-8) combined for only four wins to start the new year, but showed signs of improvement as the calendar flipped to February. Ohio State overcame the absence of point guard D.J. Carton to beat Indiana, 68-59, on Saturday, while Michigan upset Rutgers on the road, 69-63. It set up a critical matchup tonight at Michigan's Crisler Center with tip off set for 7:00 p.m. EST. To get Dunkel's pick for this game and the full NCAA Basketball schedule, click HERE.
If the Buffalo Sabres are going to have any shot at making the NHL postseason, they are going to need to take advantage of the current portion of their schedule where they play nine of their 10 games at home. Buffalo (23-22-7) took a step in the right direction on Saturday when Jack Eichel scored 36 seconds into OT to beat Columbus, 2-1. The Sabres will try to make it two straight tonight as they host the Colorado Avalanche (28-16-6), who opened a five-game road trip with a 6-3 setback in Philadelphia on Saturday. Face off is 7:00 p.m. EST at KeyBank Center. To get Dunkel's pick for this game and the full NHL schedule, click HERE.
And congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs for capturing their first Super Bowl championship since 1970. The Chiefs rallied with three fourth-quarter TDs to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, on Sunday. To get Dunkel’s final rankings for the 2019 NFL season, click HERE.
