    -127
    Money Line
    Picked: Nov 2 @ 3:37pm

    Analysis

    The Utah Mammoth are fifth in shots allowed per game and have an +82 shot differential. Toronto is 25th with a -19 shot differential. Utah is seventh in scoring chances, while the Leafs are 22nd. The Mammoth have a +12 high-danger shot differential at 5-on-5, while Toronto is at -14. Utah is 6-0 after a loss this season and already defeated Toronto when they were healthier. Toronto's forward depth is severely compromised by injuries to John Tavares (IR), Kirill Marchenko (IR, out until November 17), Max Domi (IR-LT), and defenseman Nick Blankenburg (IR), forcing heavy usage on Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and rookie Gavin McKenna. The Leafs have a huge revenge game against Montreal on deck. I like the road team in this spot.

    Over/Under
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 4:11am

    Analysis

    Only 6.5 on our board Tuesday for Jets-Canadiens and the model has this as the lowest-scoring game of the night with only 5.3 total goals scored. The Habs can light the net but are still a bit banged up led by Nick Suzuki still out. This is mostly on goalie Jacob Fowler and his 1.84 GAA. Winnipeg has lost nine straight and scored more than three goals just twice in that span.

    Over/Under
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 2:15pm

    Analysis

    Similar to last season, Hampton brought in a bunch of players that can score. They’re a score first team that plays little defense. The Yellow Jackets welcome in a new coach that wants to push the pace all game and have new guards to do so. Georgia Tech has always struggled to defend the him but not sure that’ll be the case against the Pirates as this could turn into a transitional game with a lot of perimeter shots.

    Shots on Goal
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 10:14am

    Analysis

    MGM still has this one at -105 and I like the discount so play it there. Jack Hughes and co will face Tristan Jarry and a hot Oilers team. Jarry has pitched back to back shutouts and the Oilers have allowed just one goal in their past three games. Matching up with Connor Helleybuyck and a formidable Devils offense, this should be one of the best games of the night. Our Sportsline model has Hughes projecting around 4.4 shots on goal.

    MIZZOU -23.5
    -110
    Spread
    Picked: Nov 2 @ 6:07pm

    Analysis

    FanDuel. Jumping on Missouri right away at -23.5 for one unit. I make the Tigers -27.5 here. Cleveland State has an entirely new roster, made up mostly of freshmen and smaller school transfers. It could be a long season for the Vikings, and Missouri usually kills these teams at home early in the year. I think the Tigers roll. Play up to 25.5.
