Watch the Fab Five try to give Gritty a makeover on a very silly ‘Queer Eye’ special

Fab Five + Gritty = GOLD.

Gritty is perfect the way he is, with his wild eyes, long orange hair and permanent crazed expression that we see when he’s dumping popcorn on fans, celebrating his birthday or breaking stuff.

That didn’t stop the Fab Five from Netflix’s Queer Eye from trying to give him a makeover — with a little help from his pal, the Philly Phanatic — complete with him trying new threads, getting a renovated locker, and of course, scarfing cheesesteaks.

And in the end, the lesson is: Gritty is awesome just the way he is.

Buffalo Sabres at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Buffalo Sabres at Philadelphia Flyers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Buffalo Sabres (29-30-8) try to cool off the red-hot Philadelphia Flyers (40-20-7) at Wells Fargo Center Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Sabres-Flyers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

Sabres at Flyers: Projected starting goalies

Carter Hutton vs. Carter Hart

Hutton is confirmed to start Saturday’s game. He has posted a 12-13-4 record, 3.18 goals against average and .898 save percentage with two shutouts to date. He was drummed in his only meeting against the Fly Guys, allowing six goals on 29 shots in a 6-1 loss in Philadelphia Dec. 19.

Hart is expected to be tabbed for this start, as he has been red-hot lately. He enters play 23-12-3 with a 2.47 GAA and .911 SV% in his 38 starts and 41 appearances overall this season. He won that Dec. 19 game against the Sabres, turning aside 16 of his 17 shots for the easy win. Since the All-Star break he has managed a solid 8-1-0 record, 2.01 GAA and .928 SV%.

Sabres at Flyers: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Flyers 5, Hurricanes 2

Moneyline (ML)

The Flyers (-250) are absolutely on fire lately, rattling off 17 victories across their past 22 outings, while going 20-7 in the past 27 in Philly. They’re also 7-0 in the past seven following a win, while going 26-9 in the past 35 as a home favorite. While the Sabres (+200) are 3-13 in the past 16 in Philly, and 8-20 in the past 28 meetings overall, you cannot risk two-and-a-half times your potential return. Look to the puck line instead. AVOID.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The FLYERS (-1.5, +110) are a much better bet on the puck line, as no one has been able to cool them off lately. Toss in the fact that Hutton coughed up six times in his one and only matchup with Philly, and the home side looks like a great play.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 5.5 (-139) is a solid play in this one, and the Flyers could potentially take care of it all by themselves. The over is 4-0-1 in Buffalo’s past five inside the Eastern Conference, and 4-1-2 in the past seven against winning teams. The over is 9-1-1 in Philly’s past 11 overall, and 3-1-1 in the past five at home.

Carolina Hurricanes at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Carolina Hurricanes at Philadelphia Flyers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Carolina Hurricanes (35-24-5) and Philadelphia Flyers (39-20-7) tangle at Wells Fargo Center at 7 p.m. ET Thursday. We analyze the Hurricanes-Flyers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

Hurricanes at Flyers: Projected starting goalies

Alex Nedeljkovic vs. Carter Hart

Nedeljkovic and Anton Forsberg are holding down the fort while James Reimer and Petr Mrazek are injured. The Calder Cup-winning goalie Nedeljkovic is 0-1-1 with a 3.11 goals against average and .857 save percentage in his one start and two appearances so far.

Hart missed about a month due to a lower-body injury, but he is still an impressive 22-12-3 with a 2.51 GAA and .909 SV% in his 37 starts and three relief appearances. He allowed one goal on 34 shots in his only appearance against the Hurricanes in a Nov. 5 win.

Hurricanes at Flyers: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Flyers 4, Hurricanes 2

Moneyline (ML)

The FLYERS (-150) are moderate favorites over the Hurricanes (+125). The Fly Guys have been on fire lately, winning 16 of their past 21 games, while winning five straight inside the Metropolitan Division with victories in four in a row against winning teams. They’re also 20-7 in their past 27 as a favorite while going 19-7 in their past 26 at home.

The ‘Canes are skidding, winning just once in their past five contests while going 4-12 in their past 16 inside the Metropolitan Division.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The FLYERS (-1.5, +180) are worth a small-unit bet against the skidding Hurricanes, mainly because both Forsberg and Nedeljkovic have struggled between the pipes for Carolina. Philly is red-hot and the good times should continue to roll.

Over/Under (O/U)

AVOID. The lean would be to the Under 6.5 (-154), but I choose not to play that kind of juice on totals, and if you go for Under 5.5 (+135), that’s a bit low. All of the trends in this series point to the Over.

Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Wednesday’s Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Philadelphia Flyers (38-20-7) visit the Washington Capitals (40-19-6) Wednesday at Capital One Arena for a 7 p.m. ET puck drop. The Flyers can close within one point of the Caps for top spot in the Metropolitan Division with a win. We analyze the Flyers-Capitals sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Flyers at Capitals: Projected starting goalies

Brian Elliott vs. Braden Holtby

Elliott will spell starter Carter Hart for the first time in five games, as he makes his first start since Feb. 20, when he stopped 28 of 31 shots in a win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The veteran backup is 15-7-4 with a .899 save percentage and 2.90 goals against average through 26 starts and four relief appearances.

Holtby will try to extend his personal win streak to four straight games. He allowed three goals in each of his last three wins, but he made between 30 and 37 saves each time. He is 24-13-5 with a .898 SV% and 3.12 GAA through 44 starts and a relief appearance.

Flyers at Capitals: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list.
Odds last updated at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Flyers 2, Capitals 1

Moneyline (ML)

Back the FLYERS (+135) at plus-money on the road. They’re 2-0-1 in the season series against their division rival, and Elliott was between the pipes for a 7-2 victory in Washington Feb. 8. Since that win, the Flyers are 8-2 and enter Wednesday on a six-game winning streak with top spot in the division in their sights.

The Caps (-162) are 4-5-1 since the loss to Philly and are barely holding onto a division lead they’ve had all season. Holtby stopped just 18 of 25 shots in the Feb. 8 meeting. Both teams played Sunday, so there’s no rest advantage for either side.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Flyers to win returns a profit of $13.50.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The FLYERS (+1.5, -200) are just inside my range of being worthy of a bet with one goal of insurance in the event of a loss. Both of Washington’s wins in the season series came by just 1 goal and one of those was decided in a shootout. Just one of Washington’s last four wins was decided by 2 or more goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

There’s no value on the base line of 6.5, so we’ll look to the alternate total line of UNDER 5.5 (+140) in regular time. This is the fourth and final meeting of the season between the two rivals and top spot in the division remains up for grabs. Expect a playoff atmosphere at Capital One Arena with scoring at a premium.

Rangers at Flyers: Projected starting goalies

Alexandar Georgiev vs. Carter Hart

Georgiev will get right back in net Friday after stopping 32 of 34 shots in a road win over the Montreal Canadiens Thursday. The 23-year-old has won two games in a row and four of his last five to improve to 16-12-1 through 28 starts and two relief appearances. He has a .914 save percentage and 2.94 goals against average.

Hart’s return from injury has helped push the Flyers back toward the postseason. He has won four of his last five starts and is now 20-12-3 through 35 starts and three relief appearances with a .909 SV% and 2.51 GAA. He becomes one of the best goalies in the league at home with a 17-2-2 record, .941 SV% and 1.65 GAA.

Rangers at Flyers: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list.
Odds last updated at 8:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Flyers 4, Rangers 1

Moneyline (ML)

The FLYERS (-167) are an easy pick with home-ice advantage against a Rangers (+140) team playing the second half of a back-to-back. The Flyers have won four in a row, including a 4-2 home win over the San Jose Sharks Tuesday, and they’re 22-5-4 at home for the season. The Rangers have won five straight, and they’re 18-11-2 on the road.

Philly won the season’s first head-to-head meeting 5-1 at Wells Fargo Center Dec. 23. The Flyers rank seventh in the league in Corsi For Percentage (rate of total shot attempts) at 5-on-5 since Feb. 1. The Rangers are just 26th.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Based on the lopsided possession metrics and the season’s first head-to-head result, back the FLYERS (-1.5, +155) to win by at least 2 goals. Philly’s last two victories came by 4-2 scores and three of their last four wins were by multi-goal margins. The Rangers are 22-9 against the spread on the road, but the Flyers are 22-9 ATS at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 5.5 (+125) as the more profitable side of the total bet. The Flyers are 7-2-1 against the Over/Under across their last 10 games but the Rangers are just 5-5 across the same span. Trust in Hart to shut the door at home as the Flyers do most of the scoring against a tired Georgiev.

Previewing Tuesday’s San Jose Sharks at Philadelphia Flyers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Philadelphia Flyers (35-20-7) host the San Jose Sharks (26-32-4) Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center for a 7 p.m. ET puck drop. The Flyers enter the day third in the Metropolitan Division, while the Sharks are headed for the NHL draft lottery without their own first-round pick. We analyze the Sharks-Flyers sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Sharks at Flyers: Projected starting goalies

Martin Jones vs. Carter Hart

Jones enters Tuesday off of back-to-back losses and with just one win in his last five outings. He is 14-19-2 through 34 starts and two relief appearances this season, with a .894 save percentage and 3.11 goals against average. His team’s moves at Monday’s trade deadline won’t help his cause.

Hart has won four of his last five games with no more than two goals allowed in those victories. He is 19-12-13 with a .909 SV% and 2.52 GAA over 34 starts and three relief appearances overall, but he is 16-2-2 with a .942 SV% and 1.64 GAA through 20 home games.

Sharks at Flyers: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list.
Odds last updated at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Flyers 4, Sharks 1

Moneyline (ML)

The FLYERS (-239) mostly stood pat at the trade deadline, while the Sharks (+190) dealt wings Barclay Goodrow and Patrick Marleau to the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins, respectively. The Flyers, who are 21-5-4 at home for the season, are worth swallowing the moderate amount of chalk while going for a fourth straight win.

San Jose has lost four straight games and is just 12-17-3 on the road for the season.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Flyers to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns a profit of $4.20.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The more profitable and more worthwhile play is to back the FLYERS (-1.5, +100) to win by at least two goals. Philly is 37-25 against the spread overall and 21-9 at home. San Jose is just 30-32 ATS overall and 17-15 on the road.

The Flyers’ last six home wins were all decided by multi-goal margins. Two of the Sharks’ last four losses came by margins of at least 2 goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 5.5 (+115) with the Flyers likely to do nearly all of the scoring against a short-handed Sharks club. Hart will keep the door closed, while Philly has scored six or more goals just eight times this season.

Esten’s NHL betting record: 250-235
