Chicago Bulls at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Chicago Bulls at New Orleans Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bulls (6-8) take a trip down South to visit the New Orleans Pelicans (7-6) on Wednesday with tipoff from Scotiabank Arena set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bulls vs. Pelicans odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Bulls come into this game on a 2-game losing streak, the last setback a 126-103 loss Sunday to the Denver Nuggets. All-Star G Zach Lavine scored 21 points, but the Bulls lost the game because they shot worse from the field and from behind the arc, and they also committed a whopping 19 turnovers.

The Pelicans are coming off a huge 113-102 home win Tuesday vs. the Memphis Grizzlies as 1.5-point underdogs. They won without F Zion Williamson, who sat out with an injury. All-Star G C.J. McCollum scored 30 and F Brandon Ingram chipped in with 19 points on 50% shooting from the floor. The Pelicans held the Grizzlies to only 25% shooting on 3-pointers as a team.

The Pelicans beat the Bulls 115-111 in Chicago on Nov. 9 as 1.5-point favorites.

Bulls at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 117, Bulls 111

Moneyline

LEAN PELICANS -175.

The Pelicans should win this game and are a team that has looked very solid to start the season, especially when fully healthy. The health of Williamson will impact the Pelicans and that is a trend that will likely be seen throughout the rest of his career. Even without him the Pelicans have looked like the more consistent team in this game.

Against the spread

LEAN PELICANS -3.5 (-117).

This bet comes with a fair amount of risk, but I think for the Pelicans to win this game they will have to do so by covering the spread. The Bulls have multiple players that will show up during crunch time if this proves to be a close game, and that should worry the Pelicans and motivate them to try and put this game away as early as they can.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 226.5 (-110)

This bet appears the safest in this game because of the strength of both defenses, especially on the interior. Both defenses rank just outside the top 10 in opponent ppg and while the Pelicans have a top-10 offense, the Bulls offense is just outside the bottom 10. Most of the Bulls offense is generated by Lavine and F DeMar DeRozan and if either one of them has an off night then so does the team’s offense.

Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Miami Heat (7-7) are in Canada to face the Toronto Raptors (8-7) Wednesday. Tip-off from Scotiabank Arena is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Heat vs. Raptors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Heat come into this game after securing a big 113-112 win vs. the Pheonix Suns Monday. G Jimmy Butler‘s defense helped secure the victory while C Bam Adebayo scored a game-high 30 points on 50% shooting (9 of 18). Miami is on a 3-game win streak.

The Raptors picked up a much-needed 115-111 win at the Detroit Pistons Monday despite G Fred VanVleet, F Pascal Siakam and G Gary Trent Jr. being sidelined. G Dalano Banton stepped up with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Heat at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 109, Raptors 102

Moneyline

LEAN HEAT (-120).

These two teams are so evenly matched and hard to pick a favorite. The Raptors’ home crowd will help them out a lot but with injuries plaguing the team and with a rocky start to the season I expect the Heat to pull this one out.

Against the spread

AVOID.

The spread here is very risky just simply because of the unknowns that come with the injuries in this game. If Trent Jr. and VanVleet do play then I expect this to be a tight matchup that could come down to the final few possessions, and in that scenario I would bet on the Raptors. But, neither of these teams makes many mistakes and both are extremely well-coached and with the injury statuses up in the air it’s best to pass.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 215.5 (-115).

Both of these defenses are ranked top 10 in the NBA in points allowed per game and this will be a tough matchup between two likely playoff teams with defensive stars on both sides. The Heat are rolling right now but have yet to find consistent offense, and if the Raptors’ stars do not play in this one it will be tough for them to generate any offense at all.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Milwaukee Bucks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Milwaukee Bucks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (8-5) visit the Milwaukee Bucks (10-3) on Wednesday with tipoff from Fiserv Forum set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cavaliers vs. Bucks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Cavaliers come into this game on a 4-game losing streak, the last a 129-124 setback on Sunday to the Minnesota Timberwolves despite all-star G Darius Garland scoring 51 points, the 1st 50-point game of the NBA season. No other player on the Cavaliers scored more than 15 points.

The Bucks come into this game after taking a 121-106 loss at home on Monday to the Atlanta Hawks as 4.5 favorites. The Bucks shot worse from the field than the Hawks and turned the ball over an astounding 17 times. Star F Giannis Antetokoumpo scored 27 points with 8 rebounds and 8 turnovers.

Cavaliers at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 108, Bucks 103

Moneyline

AVOID

The moneyline here is fairly risky no matter which side you think will win. Injuries for the Bucks is the main reason that I’m picking the Cavs, but also the prowess of coach J.B. Bickerstaff and what he’s been able to do with this team. Their backcourt has been generating a lot of offense and with Milwuakee’s best perimeter shooters out and their best perimeter defender ailing they will be missing a lot.

Against the spread

BET CAVALIERS +4.5 (-112)

The Cavaliers should cover the spread and that’s why I have it as the safest play in this game. The Cavaliers have the 9th ranked offense in the NBA, averaging 116 ppg, and with that type of firepower it will be easy for them to stay in this game as long as they can find a way to make Antetokoumpo the only factor for the Bucks offense.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 219.5 (-110)

The Bucks and the Cavaliers are both top 7 in defense and are both allowing fewer than 110 opponent ppg. The Cavaliers have a phenomenal interior with C Jarrett Allen and F Evan Mobley that should be able to keep the freak that is Giannis from putting up the MVP numbers we’re used to seeing. Plus, injuries to several shooters will hamper Giannis’ ability to penetrate and kick it back out, reducing his playmaking ability.

Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Kings (10-7-1) and Edmonton Oilers (9-7-0) meet Wednesday at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Oilers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Kings are looking to rebound from a 6-5 loss on the road against the Calgary Flames Monday, snapping a 4-game win streak. Los Angeles has lit the lamp 9 times in the past 2 games, and it is averaging 3.4 goals per game (GPG) across the past 5 outings.

The Oilers doubled up the Florida Panthers in the finale of a 4-game road trip Saturday, splitting the trip 2-2. Edmonton was outscored 16-13 on the trip and is just 2-4 across its last 6 games overall.

Kings at Oilers projected goalies

Jonathan Quick (6-5-1, 3.09 GAA, .895 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Stuart Skinner (3-3-0, 2.53 GAA, .932 SV%)

Quick allowed 6 goals on 30 shots last time out in Calgary Monday, but he had allowed just 8 goals in his previous 5 starts. He has struggled on the road this season, going 2-2-1 with a 3.56 GAA and .880 SV% in 5 starts away from home.

Skinner allowed just 2 goals on 42 shots in Saturday’s win at Florida, and he is projected to start the return home. While he was good against the Panthers, he allowed 9 goals in his previous 2 starts, and he is just 1-2-0 with a 3.73 GAA and .905 SV% in 3 November outings.

Kings at Oilers picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 4, Kings 3

Moneyline

The OILERS (-150) are moderate favorites, and they’re worth playing in their return home after a 2-2-0 road trip.

The Oilers have cashed in 22 of the past 32 home games dating back to last season while winning 31 of their last 41 contests inside the division.

The Kings are also 4-11 in the past 15 trips to Edmonton while going 3-7 in the past 10 meetings in this series. Back the Oil.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Kings +1.5 (-190) are a little on the expensive side, costing you nearly 2 times your potential return if you would like some insurance.

If you like L.A., just play it straight up, but there is really no evidence the Kings will play well here. The Oilers have owned the Kings in recent seasons, and they’ve dominated overall inside the division.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-130) is a little pricey, but it’s worth it.

It’s been all about the Over lately for the Kings, hitting at a 7-1-1 clip across the past 9 games on the road ad going 10-4-2 in the past 16 games overall.

The same holds true for the Oilers, as the Over is 3-0-1 in the past 4 games at home while going 3-1-1 in the past 5 games inside the division.

New York Knicks at Denver Nuggets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s New York Knicks at Denver Nuggets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Knicks earned a 118-111 victory in Salt Lake City, cooling off the Utah Jazz Tuesday. New York takes the quick jump over the Rocky Mountains for the 2nd end of the back-to-back. This is just the 2nd time the Knicks are playing on no rest, losing the 1st time 133-118 to the Boston Celtics on Nov. 5 after beating the Philadelphia 76ers 106-104 on Nov. 4.

The Nuggets have won 5 of the last 6 games, blasting the Chicago Bulls on the road Sunday 126-103 to cover a 1.5-point number. This is Denver’s first home game since a 126-101 win against the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 5.

Knicks at Nuggets key injuries

G Bones Hyland (medical protocols) questionable
C Nikola Jokic (medical protocols) out
G Ish Smith (calf) doubtful

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Knicks at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 115, Nuggets 109

Moneyline

The KNICKS (+360) are worth playing as heavy underdogs, even though they’re playing on the 2nd end of a back-to-back set.

The reasoning for taking the heavy ‘dogs is due to the health situation of the Nuggets (-500). Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, and he has officially been ruled out for Wednesday. Bones Hyland is expected to miss a 3rd straight game for the same reason, while F Aaron Gordon is questionable due to a non-COVID illness. That’s a lot of offense (and defense) missing, and Denver’s cohesiveness will be off.

Against the spread

KNICKS +9.5 (-120) is a solid option catching nearly double digits. New York cooled off Utah Tuesday night as 4.5-point underdogs, and it’s a tough turnaround heading for the Mile High City the very next night. However, the Knicks are worth playing even if the line were to go down by 2 buckets.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-115) is a strong play here, again, due to the absences on the Denver end. Who is going to score for the Nuggets with Jokic, and potentially Gordon, sidelined? Jokic is averaging 20.8 PPG, 9.5 RPG and 8.9 APG through 13 games, so that’s a huge absence. That’s what is mainly driving the Under train here.

Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The defending Eastern Conference Champion Boston Celtics (11-3) visit the new-look Atlanta Hawks (9-5) Wednesday. Tipoff from State Farm Arena is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Hawks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Celtics come into this game on a 7-game win streak, the latest a 126-122 victory Monday (as an 11-point favorite) over the Oklahoma City Thunder and G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 37 points. Celtics F Jayson Tatum scored 27 points while G Jaylen Brown scored 26 and reigning DPOY G Marcus Smart added 22.

The Hawks beat the Bucks in Milwaukee Bucks 121-106 on Monday, shooting better from both the field (47.8%) and from beyond the arc (35%) than the Bucks. They also forced 17 turnovers and kept the rebounding battle tight, despite being undersized. F De’Andre Hunter led the team in scoring with 24 points and hit all 10 of his free-throw attempts.

Celtics at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 118, Hawks 110

Moneyline

LEAN CELTICS -130

The Celtics are the better team, game but the Hawks will be a tough matchup, especially if Smart is out. Hawks PG Trae Young will always be a tough matchup for any guard and with Smart, who would likely match up against Young, potentially being out that makes this matchup even tougher. However, Tatum is playing at an MVP level right now and Brown is playing very solidly as well and they should be enough to beat a top heavy Hawks team.

Against the spread

LEAN CELTICS -1.5 (-110)

The Celtics should be able to cover this spread due to the strength of their offense alone. If this game does come down to the wire as the spread would suggest, I give the edge to the Celtics. Tatum is 1 of the more clutch players in the league and he has been playing amazingly to start the season. The Celtics offense is far too strong for me to not believe in them covering.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-110)

This is your safest bet for this game. Neither of these teams have particularly great or terrible defenses, with both being ranked in the middle of the pack. The Hawks allow 113.6 opponent ppg; the Celtics 113.5. However, what does worry me about this bet is both of these offenses are ranked top 10, with the Celtics being 1st and the Hawks being 10th.

2022-23 RSM Classic odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2022 RSM Classic, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

The 2022 RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia, is the next event on the PGA Tour schedule, though it lacks a bit of star power following Tony Finau’s withdrawal on Tuesday afternoon. That news came after Finau won the Cadence Bank Houston Open last week.

Below, we look at the 2022 RSM Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Finau was the biggest name in the field and the betting favorite to win this week. Following his withdrawal, four players now lead the field as the favorites: Seamus Power, Brian Harman, Jason Day and Tom Hoge (all at +2000). Last year’s champion, Talor Gooch, will not be playing this week after he joined the LIV tour.

The Sea Island Resort has hosted this event since it joined the PGA Tour schedule in 2010. The pros will be playing 2 courses on the resort this week: Seaside and Plantation. They’re both very short courses — 7,005 for Seaside, 7,060 for Plantation. The Seaside course is a par 70, while the Plantation track is a par 72, so scoring opportunities will vary. The Seaside course is a links-style layout along the water with some great views of the Atlantic.

RSM Classic – Expert picks

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 6:23 p.m. ET.

Keith Mitchell (+3000)

Coming off a T-9 at the Houston Open, Mitchell heads to a course where he’s had success, making him a perfect pick this week at +3000. He tied for 12th here last year and 14th in 2019 and has only missed the cut once in 5 appearances. He’s driving the ball accurately this season, too, ranking 14th in driving accuracy.

Tom Hoge (+2000)

Hoge missed the cut in his last start at Mayakoba, but in his previous 4 starts, he never finished outside the top-13 and had 2 top-10s. He has 2 top 10s and a top 25 in this event. Last year, he tied for 4th at Sea Island Resort.

RSM Classic picks – Contenders

Brendon Todd (+6000)

Todd doesn’t hit the ball very long but that won’t play much of a factor this week on 2 courses that are under 7,100 yards each. His best finish in this event was 4th in 2019 and he also tied for 16th in 2013.

Kevin Kisner (+5000)

Kisner has been a mixed bag at the RSM Classic. He’s missed the cut 2 of the last 3 years, but he sandwiched those MCs with a 2nd-place finish in 2020. He tied for 7th in 2018 and 4th in 2017, also winning the tournament in 2015. At +5000, I’ll take a chance on the clutch-putting Kiz.

RSM Classic picks – Long shot

Patton Kizzire (+10000)

After tying for 10th here in 2020, he missed the cut last year. That MC came after he made the cut 4 straight years in this event and already this season, he’s notched 1 top-10 finish 2 weeks ago at Mayakoba. He’s coincidentally another ‘Kiz’ who I like this week as a long-shot play in Georgia.

2022 RSM Classic prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2022 RSM Classic with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

The PGA Tour is back on the East Coast this week for the 2022 RSM Classic, which is once again being played at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2022 RSM Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

It’s not an overly strong field teeing it up at Sea Island Resort this week, especially after Tony Finau announced his withdrawal from the RSM Classic on Tuesday. He was the highest-ranked player in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, coming in at No. 14. Brian Harman (23), Jason Day (58), Seamus Power (53) and Tom Hoge (83) are now tied as the favorites to win (+2000) this week.

The field will play 2 courses at Sea Island Resort this week: the Seaside Course and Plantation Course. They’re both under 7,100 yards, with Seaside being a par 70 and Plantation playing as a par 72. Distance off the tee won’t be much of a factor this week because of the shorter courses, which brings more of the field into play.

RSM Classic – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 3:54 p.m. ET.

Tom Hoge (+550)

Hoge has a great track record in this event, highlighted by a tie for 4th last year. He’s playing well right now, too, coming into the RSM Classic with 4 top-13 finishes already this season. It’s reasonable to think he’ll finish in the top 5 again this week.

Keith Mitchell (+650)

Mitchell has made the cut 4 times in 5 appearances at this event, including a tie for 12th last year and a tie for 14th in 2019. He tied for 9th at last week’se Houston Open. A top-5 finish is never easy to call, but Mitchell has a chance in a weaker field, especially with Finau out.

RSM Classic – Top-10 picks

Mackenzie Hughes (+450)

I’m going back to the well with Hughes. He continued his strong start to the season with his 4th top-25 finish in as many starts by coming in 16th at the Houston Open last week. He won the RSM Classic in 2016 and finished alone in 2nd last year, so this is a good spot for him.

Taylor Pendrith (+450)

The Canadian hasn’t cracked the top 40 yet this season but the RSM Classic is a perfect time for him to get back on track. He tied for 26th in his debut in this event last year. Ranked 17th in strokes gained: off the tee this season, Pendrith just needs to dial in his irons and putter.

Jason Day (+280)

Day has only played this tournament twice, missing the cut last year but tying for 12th the year prior. He’s very quietly off to a fantastic start this season, making 4 of 5 cuts and coming in the top 25 four times. He tied for 16th at the Houston Open last week.

RSM Classic – Top-20 picks

Brendon Todd (+260)

Todd is short and straight off the tee, ranking 31st in driving accuracy and 213th in distance. That’s OK this week at the shorter courses at Sea Island Resort. It’s no coincidence he came in 4th here in 2019 and has made the cut 6 of 8 times. He already has 2 top-10s this season.

Kevin Kisner (+270)

Kisner came in 2nd at the RSM Classic in 2020 and has 3 other top-10s here since 2015, which is when he won it. In his only start this season at the CJ Cup, he tied for 72nd. But I’ll take a chance on him to crack the top 20 in this event again.

Patton Kizzire (+500)

Kizzire tied for 10th at Mayakoba 2 weeks ago and also tied for 10th at this event in 2020. He’s obviously a long shot to win this week, but at least he has some positive history at the RSM Classic.

RSM Classic – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Tom Hoge (-120) vs. Joel Dahmen (+100)

Dahmen is a good pick this week, too, but Hoge has a strong track record here and is playing well right now. The line is juiced in this matchup but Hoge is worth it.

Mackenzie Hughes (-110) vs. Matthew Nesmith (-110)

Hughes is on a heater right now and I’m going to ride it into this matchup against Nesmith, who is also playing well. Hughes also won this event back in 2016.

RSM Classic – Top American

Tom Hoge (+2000)

I’ve already laid out all the reasons I like Hoge this week, and he’s a good pick to be the top American in the field. Only Brian Harman (+1500) has shorter odds to be the top American.

Group C winner

Taylor Pendrith (+350)

This group consists of Patrick Rodgers (+330), Davis Riley (+330), Sahith Theegala (+330) and Wyndham Clark (+350), so there’s no clear favorite. It’ll be tough for any of these 5 players to win the whole thing, but Pendrith has a good chance in this group.

Want to win your survivor pool? Who to take in Week 11

Breaking down the best strategies of how to win your NFL survivor pool as the season continues into Week 11.

[mm-video type=video id=01gj3h56hnf9z4eaf7av playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gj3h56hnf9z4eaf7av/01gj3h56hnf9z4eaf7av-c630d90758b33a67dd14e62a422c34f4.jpg]

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) finally lost, the Seattle Seahawks (6-4) came crashing down to Earth, and the Buffalo Bills (6-3) took another loss as well. Hopefully, you did not have those teams in your NFL survivor pool for Week 10.

The Eagles dropped their 1st game of the season, falling 32-21 as 11-point home favorites to the Washington Commanders (5-5) Monday night. The Seahawks had a 4-game win streak snapped in 21-16 defeat as 2.5-point road underdogs at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-5), and the Bills lost as 6.5-point favorites in what some are calling the “game of the year” in a 33-30 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings (8-1).

Those games are now in the past, so let’s focus on the future to Week 11.

– All games Sunday and ET unless noted

The chalk: Philadelphia Eagles

Who they play: At Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m. (CBS)

Although Monday’s home loss to the Commanders was not the result the Eagles or their fans wanted, it could serve to make the team more focused moving forward. No longer do they have to hear about being undefeated. Now, it’s all about the next game and their next opponent.

Despite upsetting the Las Vegas Raiders 25-20 as 4.5-point road underdogs in Week 10, the Colts (4-5-1) are still not in a wonderful spot. New coach Jeff Saturday had the Colts amped in his 1st game Sunday, but the Eagles are not the Raiders.

After coming into Monday night’s game with a +18 turnover margin and only having 3 turnovers all season, Philadelphia had 3 turnovers in the loss. This was the main reason the team failed to improve to 9-0 … bad officiating aside. Philadelphia will bounce back at Indy. CB Darius Slay and FS C.J. Gardner-Johnson will shut down Indianapolis’ wide receivers, while Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, who after getting back on track with 147 yards against the Raiders — his 1st 100-yard game since Week 1 — will find running far more difficult against the Philadelphia front.

The Eagles area good team, and I’m not yet willing to say the Colts are back with their new coach. Therefore, the EAGLES are my FAVORITE SURVIVOR PLAY in Week 11.

Off the board: Baltimore Ravens

Who they play: Home vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. (FOX)

The Ravens (6-3) are coming off their bye week following a 27-13 victory as 1-point road favorites at the New Orleans Saints. Despite losing 3 games, the Ravens have held double-digit leads in every game this season. They should be able to continue that streak against the Panthers (3-7), one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Carolina QB P.J. Walker has been ruled out for Sunday’s game after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 10’s surprising 25-15 home win vs. the Atlanta Falcons. QB Baker Mayfield will start, which we’ve seen before and it didn’t turn out well for Carolina.

RB Christian McCaffrey is gone — traded to San Francisco — and, unfortunately for the Panthers, WR D.J. Moore can’t throw the ball to himself.

With the Ravens getting healthy in the bye week, the defense will get after Mayfield and force him into bad decisions. The Ravens, at home, will win another game they lead by double-digits. Only this time, they will win by double-digits as well.

Flyers at Blue Jackets picks and predictions

Prediction

Flyers 4, Blue Jackets 2

Moneyline

BET FLYERS -120

There are multiple reasons why I believe this bet is the safest, but the main 1 is that the Flyers are simply a better team. The Flyers are looking for a much needed win to end their losing streak and this game vs. an inferior team seems like the perfect opportunity for them to do so. The Blue Jackets already won the 1st game of the season series and I don’t see them taking both of their early matchups vs. this Flyers squad.

Puck line/Against the spread

LEAN FLYERS -1.5 (+215)

The Flyers offense has been inconsistent as of late, some games they can come out and score 5 goals and other times they have games where they score 1 goal. To end their losing streak they will need to put up at least 4 goals and silence the crowd. The Blue Jackets don’t have a great offense or a great defense and Merzlikins, while he has been their best goalie, isn’t great.

Over/Under

AVOID

With both teams having inconsistency on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ice I can’t put a lot of stock in this bet. Avoiding this bet seems best, but if you really like betting the Over/Under then lean under for the sheer fact I have little faith in either offense to put up a good amount of goals.
