Top Picks for Feb. 17

Here are my top picks for tomorrow on SFTC:

NCAAM:
1)  Miami(Fl) to score 34+ points in the first half
          Reasons:  Miami is doing great this year.  They have plenty of great shooters and are really playing well as a team.  Clemson is not that good defensively and while I don't think they'll score a lot more than 34 in the first half, they should at lest reach that mark.
          Confidence:  7/10

2)  Louisville by 15+ over South Florida
          Reasons:  South Florida is just not playing well and they don't have a lot of options.  Last time they    played South Florida won by almost 30.  The only concern I see is that Louisville is on the road, but they have a pretty good road record.
          Confidence:  6/10

NCAAW:
1)  Maryland by 15+ over Virginia
          Reasons:  Maryland and Duke are clearly the two best teams in the ACC.  Maryland beat Virgina by 24 last time they played.  They should cover the 15 here.
          Confidence:  7/10

2)  Stanford by 15+ over UCLA
          Reasons:  Stanford beat UCLA by 26 last time they played about a month ago.  Stanford is cruising through the PAC12 and should cover the spread here.
          Confidence:  5/10

NHL:
1)  Pittsburgh Penguins
          Reasons:  The Penguins are playing very good hockey right now.  They have one of the best defenses in the league, have a 7 - 2 road record, and their goalie has won 6 of his last 7 starts with a 2.15 GAA.
          Confidence:  7/10

There are only 2 other NHL props on the board tomorrow, and I'm not real confident in either one.  I would most likely pick the Red Wings and the Canucks.
