Last PPOTD: 3/30 Houston Rockets (Win)
Liverpool Win (42 Points) at Newcastle United Win/Draw (50 Points)
Newcastle is 8-2 at home with 5 draws this season. That would make them 13-2 in these props this year. Newcastle's last home loss was to West Bromwich back on December 21st. Since that time Newcastle has 5 wins and 2 draws. They have outscored opponents 12-4 at home since December 21st. Newcastle has 2 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws in their last 5 games.
Liverpool is 6-8 with 1 draws on the road this year. 6-9 in these type of props on the road. Liverpool's last road win was on January 31st when they beat Wolverhampton. Their last road win against a team not in last place in the current EPL standings was on Jan 11th. They have been outscored on the road 8-5 since January 31st. In Liverpool's last 8 games they have 2 wins, 5 losses, and a draw.
Conclusion: Newcastle is at home where they haven't lost since December. Liverpool is on the road where they havn't won since January. Newcastle is the clear favorite here, and will start our month with a nice W1!
Pick: Newcastle W/D
Confidence: Any streak (Normally: W10 or less, but no one has any streak yet)

Pwnage Pick of the Day 4/1 #2
PPOTD Record: 8-2
Last PPOTD: 4/1 Newcastle United W/D (Win)
PPOTD: Philadelphia Flyers at Pittsburgh Penguins
Hockey PPOTD: 3-1
Today there will be 2 PPOTD to celebrate the beginning of the new month!
The Pittsburgh Penguins have cooled off a little bit since their 11 game winning streak, which was snapped against this same Flyers team in March, going 4-3 since then, but they are still 27-9 in their last 36 games. At home the Penguins are 27-11 this year. In their last 18 games, Pittsburgh is 16-2 at home. Pittsburgh played their last game on Friday Night beating Buffalo 5-3. Pittsburgh's last home game was a 5-3 loss against the New York Islanders on Tuesday Night.
Kris Letang will probably be returning for today. The Penguins have no other major injuries
The Philadelphia Flyers are 4-4 in their last 8 games. On the road, they are 24-15 this year. The Flyers are 2-2 in their last 4 road games. Their last game was a 4-3 home shootout loss to Ottawa Saturday Night. Their last road game was a 7-1 win over Toronto on Thursday Night.
The Flyers starting goalie will be probably be out for the game today.
If these teams werent rivals this would be a much higher confidence pick. But, the Penguins are still the better team, and especially with the injury to the Flyers goalie, they will win.
Pick: Pittsburgh Penguins
Confidence: W5 or less

Pwnage Pick of the Day 3/31
PPOTD Record: 6-2
Last PPOTD: Chicago Blackhawks (Win)
Current PPOTD Streak: W4
Today's Pick: Memphis Grizzlies (27-21) at Houston Rockets (27-24)
NBA PPOTD Record: 2-1
The Houston Rockets have won 3 of their last 5 games, but at home lately, they have been a stronger team with 4 wins in their last 5 home games, and 8 wins in their last 11 home contests. Overall this year, the Rockets are 19-7 at the Toyota Center. The Rockets last game was a 90-81 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Dallas on Tuesday Night. When playing after two or more days off this year, the Rockets are 4-3. Houston's last home game was against the Sacramento Kings which was a 113-106 home overtime victory on Monday Night.
The Rockets have a couple injuries to deal with. Point guard Kyle Lowry will miss his twelfth consecutive game. Since Lowry has been out, the Rockets are 6-5. Lowry averages 15.9 points, 7.2 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game. 2-guard Kevin Martin is day-to-day for the Rockets. Kevin averages 17.1 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game. The Rockets are 5-4 since he has gotten injured.
The Memphis Grizzles have won 2 straight games, but even with that boost lately, they are still only 4-6 in their last 10 games (3-5 in last 8). On the road, the Grizzles are 1-3 in their last 4 games. Overall, the Grizzles are 10-14 away from Memphis. Their last game was a 93-86 victory over Minnesota in Memphis on Tuesday Night. Memphis is 3-1 after a couple days or more off between games. Memphis' last road game was at the LA Lakers which they won 102-96 on Sunday Night.
Center Marc Gasol is day-to-day for the Grizzles. He averages 15.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game this year. Mike Conley is listed as day-to-day and sat out practice, but he was able to play through the pain on Tuesday Night, so I will assume that he can play again.
Conclusion: The Houston Rockets are a very good home team this year. The Grizzles, even though they won their last 2 games, are still struggling, and are a bad team on the road. Marc Gasol would be a huge loss for the Grizzles while the players injured for the Rockets, haven't affected Houston to a large extent as they have still been able to play +.500 ball since their injuries.

Pwnage Pick of the Day 3/29
PPOTD Record: 5-2
Last PPOTD: New York Knicks (Win)
St. Louis Blues (48-29, 105 Points) at Chicago Blackhawks (42-35, 93 Points)
Hockey PPOTD Record: 2-1
The Chicago Blackhawks have lost the last two games, but before that they had won 9 of their last 11 games. They are 12-4 in their last 16 home games. Overall, they are 26-11 at home this year. In their last game, they lost 2-1 in a shootout to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday Night. Their last home game was a 6-1 loss versus Nashville Predators on Sunday Night.
The Blackhawks have been getting a few players back from injury, but they are still down a few men. Centerman Jonathon Toews is out for the Blackhawks. The hawks are 9-7 since he got injured, he has 57 points on the year. Ray Emery is coming back from an injury and might even play tonight. Steve Mantador just returned from the IR.
The St. Louis Blues are 3-4 in their last 7 games. At home they are 2-4 in their last 6 road games. Overall, they are 18-21 on the road. Their last game was a 3-0 victory over Nashville on Tuesday Night. Their last road game was a 4-0 win over the Coyotes. Based on those two last games, you would think the Blues would have an easy victory coming, but that was with Brian Elliot as the goalie, but instead of Elliot, Jaroslav Halak will be the goalie tonight for the Blues. Halak has allowed 8 goals in his last 3 games.
Defenseman Roman Polak will be out for the Blues tonight. He has 11 points on the year, and his team is 2-2 since he is out.
If Elliot was the goalie tonight, I would change my pick, but with Halak struggling lately and the Blues bad road record, plus the return of solid contributors for the Blackhawks will cement the Blackhawks as the winners tonight in an upset.
Pick: Chicago Blackhawks
Confidence: W5 or less

Pwnage Pick of the Day (#1) 3/28
Due to yesterday's pick of the day being canceled (30 min before start time due to the low scoring in the first half, there will be two picks of the day today.
PPOTD Record: 4-2
Last PPOTD: San Jose Sharks
Today's First Pick: Orlando Magic (32-18) at New York Knicks (25-25)
The New York Knicks have turned it around in the last couple weeks. They are 7-1 in their last 8 games since they fired their coach. At home they are 5-0 in that time. This year the Knicks are 16-10 at the MSG. Since firing their coach, the Knicks have won by an average of 21.4 points. The Knicks last game was a 89-80 home win over the Milwaukee Bucks on March 26th. Without Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony put together one of his best performance of the season with 28 points and 12 rebounds in that game.
Amare Stoudemire is out for the next few weeks. Caremlo Anthony will play.
The Orlando Magic have won 3 straight since their disaster vs Chicago where they only scored 59 points in a 85-59 loss. But if you look at the teams they have beaten, they aren't exactly beating the best in the East (Wins over Phoenix, Cleveland, and Toronto). In their last 7 games overall, they are 4-3. In their last 5 road games, they are 2-3. Orlando's last game was against the Toronto Raptors on Monday Night, they won 117-101.
The Magic have no major injuries.
Even with the injuries to Amare Stoudemire, and a banged up Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks are still a better team than the Magic, they are on fire since the firing of their coach, and they will beat an Orlando Magic team that has had its struggles.
