A&M is #2 pick in this, its last year in Big X.

College funds: Thursday's best NCAAB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Texas A&M Aggies at Mississippi State Bulldogs (+4, N/A)

The Renardo Sidney experiment continues as the Bulldogs and Aggies tangle in the semifinals of the Coaches vs. Cancer

Sidney, the 6-foot-10, 270-pound mystery, is expected to suit up for Mississippi State Thursday after missing Saturday’s win over South Alabama with a groin injury, but outside of that very little is certain when you’re talking about Sidney.

He decided to work out with former NBA player John Lucas this summer instead of traveling to Europe with the team and has numerous issues with the NCAA before that. It seems that he’s still a work in progress.

"He still has a ways to go,'' Bulldogs coach Rick Stansbury told ESPN. "He's taking baby steps. So far, as in his life itself, has been better. He hasn't disrupted in practice. He's been a good teammate. That part of his life is a lot better. He continues to push himself. But he's got to push himself to get in shape and play more productive minutes. That's his challenge.''

Luckily for Stansbury, the Bulldogs have a pile of talent to go around.

Pick: Bulldogs

Arizona Wildcats at St. John’s Red Storm (Pick 'em, N/A)

The Wildcats lost both Derrick Williams and starting point guard Momo Jones from last year’s club and will have a tough time coming anywhere near their production. But while coach Sean Miller will have his hands full this year, so too will St. John’s bench boss Steve Lavin.

The Red Storm have five freshmen and a couple of juco transfers expected to play big roles for his club. All five starters are getting their first tastes of Division-I ball, which makes early season evaluations difficult.

“We’re a new team, we have lots of newcomers and are very young,” Lavin told reporters. “We like the skill and quickness that our team has exhibited to this point, but we don’t have the depth of size in terms of front line, and overall we’re a bit thin in terms of our rotation.”

The Wildcats head into this one 0-3 against the number but they should be able to earn their first payday here.

Pick: Wildcats

Ice picks: Thursday’s best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detroit Red Wings at San Jose Sharks (-135, 5.5)

It’s almost time to start getting a bit concerned about Henrik Zetterberg if you’re a Red Wings supporter.

While Detroit’s defense has been great all season, the offense has been spotty at best and Zetterberg is catching a lot of the blame. He is reportedly playing through a minor undisclosed injury but his numbers speak for themselves: six points in 16 games.

Zetterberg was held off the score sheet again in Detroit’s 2-1 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday, a defeat that raised some eyebrows in the dressing room.

"They did to us what we do to lots of teams," coach Mike Babcock told reporters. "That's dominate us. They outchanced us. They outplayed us. They were better. They were quicker. They were harder in the puck battles. I thought the score flattered us."

The Red Wings will bounce back with a better effort in the Shark Tank and we can only hope Zetterberg gets his act together.

Pick: Red Wings

Toronto Maple Leafs at Nashville Predators (-165, 5.5)

We’ll really see what the Toronto Maple Leafs are made of now.

After getting by with some questions in the crease over the past couple of weeks, the Leafs have a couple significant injuries to deal with.

Toronto dropped its fourth straight game Tuesday night, 3-2, to Philadelphia and also saw forwards Clarke MacArthur and Mikhail Grabovski leave the game with injuries. As of now, it looks as though Grabovski will be out about two weeks with a lower body problem, but no word has come out about MacArthur’s status.

Meanwhile, Nashville hasn’t been great at home this season, but the Preds did just mount a comeback win over Washington when they were down 1-0 with only five minutes left in the third.

Those are the kind of wins teams can rally around so we’ll eat the home chalk here.

Pick: Predators
