We have a huge slate of NHL games today. There was originally 16 games scheduled to take place but, 3 have been postponed so we’re down to 13.
As a hockey fan and NHL gambler, I know most people will not be focused on hockey today. There’s two NFL games going on, with the first one starting at 4:30 PM ET. However, I’m not particularly fond of the early games so hopefully everyone has two TVs.
I received some positive feedback about grading my bets from the day before so I’ll continue to do that. Last night we went 2-0 so I’ll grade both of those bets.
- FLORIDA PANTHERS ML (-185)
- I released this bet the night before expecting line movement in Florida’s favor and I was correct. The line closed at -210 which shows that even when you lay a high number like I did, it still has some value. It was a no sweat winner with Florida winning 7-1. GRADE: A
- COLORADO/ SEATTLE OVER 6.5 (-110)
- I spoke about this on the podcast but we’re staring to the totals open at 6.5 for some high powered teams, like Colorado. This line closed at -120/-125 so again we got some closing line value which is always what you’re hoping for. The score was 3-3 early in the 3rd which guaranteed us a win so it wasn’t too much of a sweat either. GRADE: A
Just a reminder my plays will be going premium next week so if you are interested in my NHL plays.
I will be sending out daily picks with detailed breakdowns. In addition to that, I will also be available to chat about the picks and any other games happening that day. As always if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on any of my social media accounts.
Picks:
- BUFFALO/ DETROIT OVER 5.5 (-125)
- Aaron Dell is expected to start for the Sabres again tonight with their other starters remaining in protocols. He’s coming off a career night, where he captured his first win in his six starts this season. No one could have seen the night he had and I’m not expecting him to follow up that performance. Buffalo is averaging more Goals For and Goals Against Away with Detroit averaging more Goals For at Home. Detroit’s offense is a slight concern as they have been struggling lately and are coming off a home loss where they were shutout. These two teams have played before and the game did go Under the total at 5.5 but I think with the current matchup we see this game going over. I can see this line moving to 6.0 so I’m going to take it at 5.5 now.
I will likely add more plays as the day progresses but this is the only game I want to lock in overnight. Be sure to follow me on Twitter for all updates.
Best of luck, and as always you can find me on Twitter @GatorBetting and Instagram @Gator_Sports_Betting.
