UTA @ PIT • Thu 7:00pm

Under 7

-133

Over/Under

Picked: Oct 29 @ 7:54am

Analysis

Wow, a 7 and it's not involving the Avalanche or Oilers. Both these clubs are pretty solid offensively but not world-changing. My one concern is that it might be Mammoth backup Sebastian Cossa's turn and he has a 3.21 GAA. But let's hope not. Doesn't much matter who is in net for the Pens -- probably Arturs Silovs and his 2.88 G AA -- as they are pretty thin at forward due to injury, etc., although Sidney Crosby is fine. The model has 6.7 goals scored and I'm fully prepared to push at a 3-3 regulation draw.

FAU @ NTEXAS • Thu 7:30pm

Over/Under

Picked: Oct 26 @ 11:15am

Analysis

Wowzers, a total of 76.5 -- that's the highest of the season by far in college football. And I guess I get it as North Texas comes off an 88-total point game vs. Navy and had an 89-point total game a few weeks ago at Tulsa. FAU has that beat, coming off a 100-point game vs. Rice. But on principle I gotta play a half unit here. The model has only 50 points scored. That seems a bit low, but I'm good with 41-35.

CHI @ DET • Thu 7:30pm

Under 6.5

-128

Over/Under

Picked: Oct 29 @ 1:14pm

Analysis

Not much of a fan of either goalie in Spencer Knight and John Gibson, but these are two of the worst offensive teams in the NHL and arguably Detroit's top guy in that regard, center Dylan Larkin, is out amid rumors he has finally gotten his trade wish or is close. Hopefully to the Blackhawks! Larkin has six points in 10 games. In two early season games without him, the Wings totaled two goals and lost both.

Money Line

Picked: Oct 28 @ 10:37pm

Analysis

Don't look now but the Boston Bruins are sitting on 19 points atop the Atlantic in the midst of a 7-2-1 run but is it sustainable? A quick look under the hood shows the Bruins have outperformed their expected goals on offense (+8.74) however its the goaltending tandem that's carried them performing at a +15.21 goals saved above expected. The underlying metrics at 5 on 5 and across all situations suggest what goes up must come down. The Blues have been snakebitten offensively and ran into a white hot Jacob Fowler on Tuesday suggesting they're leaving a lot out there. Projecting Hofer vs Swayman I'm at Blues -123 here and on the off chance Sway sits this price will run even further from current.

WAS @ NSH • Thu 8:00pm

Under 6.5

-120

Over/Under

Picked: Oct 29 @ 2:39am

Analysis

The Predators are keeping opponents to an impressive 2.57 goals per game when playing in Nashville. Even more encouraging, the under has hit in eight straight head-to-head matchups between these teams. While Washington has been solid offensively, Nashville’s ability to limit scoring at home, combined with the history between these two teams, gives us plenty of reason to like the under 6.5 tonight. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this total drop to 6, so I like getting in at 6.5 while we still can.
