Anthony B. Daily Picks:
LOCK: PHI vs. BOS: BOS (-210)
VALUE: CLB vs. WPG: CLB (+125)
DEVILS: NYR vs. NJD: UNDER 6 GOALS (-105)
Explanation:
For my Devils pick, I’m going with the under. They are coming off an offensive explosion Tuesday night, and just like lightning, that’s unlikely to strike twice. Add the fact that the Rangers are having trouble scoring, you’ll be looking at a less stuffed stat sheet in comparison to the NJD vs. PIT game.
James V. Daily Picks:
LOCK: CLB vs. WPG: CLB +1.5 (-200)
VALUE: PHI vs. BOS: BOS -1.5 (+125)
DEVILS: NYR vs. NJD: UNDER 6 GOALS (-105)
Explanation:
For my VALUE pick, I’m going with the puck-line. Yes, the Flyers are hot right now, but shipping up to Boston isn’t an easy task. The Bruins are 17-7-2 at home, while the Flyers are 10-13-3 on the road. Another fact pointing toward this bet being worth the money is five of Boston’s last six home wins have come by two or more goals. This bet almost makes too much sense, which is always a bad thing when it comes to betting, right?
Chris Mott (Guest) Daily Picks:
LOCK: CLB vs. WPG: UNDER 6.5 GOALS (-105)
VALUE: PHI vs. BOS: PHI (+180)
DEVILS: NYR vs. NJD: UNDER 6 GOALS: (-105)
Explanation:
For my VALUE pick, I’m going with the Flyers in an upset. This bet is made partly due to the goaltending matchup of Rask vs. Hart. Carter Hart has played great for the Flyers so far, while Rask has not been his normal self for the Bruins. Also, since this is Rask’s first start since a scary head injury, I’d be wary of taking the Bruins. After a Boston shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets, expect the Flyers to potentially steal a game, with Hart being the deciding factor.
Rob DeLuca (Guest) Daily Picks:
LOCK: PHI vs. BOS: BOS (-210)
VALUE: CLB vs. WPG: CLB +1.5 (-200)
DEVILS: NYR vs. NJD: UNDER 6 GOALS (-105)
Explanation:
For my LOCK pick, the Bruins on home ice are as solid as it gets (17-7-2). After coming off a heart-breaking road loss against the Jets, look for them to respond in a big way against the Flyers and a young goaltender.
