While the Avalanche enter as heavy favorites, the real betting intrigue lies in the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, with the under available around +115. This offers potential value for those wagering on a lower-scoring affair, as both teams have shown flashes of defensive solidity amid broader league patterns where unders have edged out overs this season at a 51.2% clip overall. Road underdogs like Anaheim have contributed to this trend, with games involving such matchups hitting the under in approximately 57% of instances when the total is pegged at 6.5, particularly against high-powered home squads that occasionally tighten up defensively.

Anaheim boasts a 25-21-3 record, clinging to playoff contention in the Pacific Division, and they've averaged 3.22 goals per game while conceding 3.57, placing them near the bottom in defensive efficiency. However, the Ducks have tightened their play during a recent four-game winning streak, limiting opponents to an average of 2.25 goals against in those contests, including back-to-back unders against the Kings with totals of 5 and 3. Their penalty kill ranks at 77.6%, and on the road, Anaheim has seen the under cash in 9 of their last 16 away games, aligning with their 16-9 over/under road split that leans slightly toward lower outputs against elite defenses. This defensive uptick mirrors NHL-wide trends where streaking underdogs have forced unders in 52.7% of overtime-inclusive games, emphasizing goaltending and structure over run-and-gun play.

Colorado, with a dominant 34-5-8 mark leading the Central Division, paces the league offensively at 4.02 goals per game but also clamps down defensively, allowing just 2.30 goals against on a league-low 27.0 shots faced per outing. The Avalanche's penalty kill stands strong at 84.8%, and they've posted a 22-25 over/under record this season, with the under hitting in 53.2% of their games, including recent unders like a 3- total against Washington and a 6-goal affair versus Nashville. At home, Colorado has gone 12-11 on over/unders, often delivering unders when facing middling offenses, as seen in their 52% under rate in such spots last season. This defensive prowess fits into larger league patterns, where home favorites have seen unders prevail in 48.3% of all games, rising to over 50% in mid-season tilts as teams prioritize possession and limit transitions.

Head-to-head, Colorado has owned the series, winning the last five encounters and holding a 1-0 edge this season, but these matchups have frequently stayed under the total, with three of the past five combining for six or fewer goals amid tight, low-event hockey. Anaheim's road struggles against the Avalanche, going 0-5 straight up, have often resulted in controlled, defense-first games, reflecting broader NHL betting angles where inter-conference underdogs contribute to unders at a 58% rate when facing top-ranked defenses. With both teams trending toward unders in their last five combined outings (hitting in three for each), this setup highlights the value in fading the over in a game likely to feature strong goaltending from Colorado's Mackenzie Blackwood (.915 save percentage) and Anaheim's Lukas Dostal (.890).

From a betting standpoint, the under at 6.5 stands out given the 51.7% league-wide over rate that's been tempered by a mid-season dip in scoring, where totals have gone under in 51.2% of games involving home favorites with elite defenses. Anaheim's recent road unders (6 of 12) and Colorado's home tendency to stifle lesser offenses (under in 11 of 23) provide a solid angle, especially as underdogs have pushed unders in 57% of 6.5-total games this year. In a season where overall scoring has leveled off after an early surge, backing the under here capitalizes on these converging trends for a potentially gritty, low-scoring battle.

Wednesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Holy Cross plus the points over Navy at 7 pm et on Wednesday.

We'll grab the generous helping of points with Holy Cross on Wednesday as it looks to avenge an earlier seven-point defeat against the Midshipmen. While Navy does own the better overall record in this matchup this season, Holy Cross has faced the considerably more difficult schedule. In fact, the Midshipmen have parlayed one of the easiest Division-I schedules in the country into a 13-6 record. Holy Cross comes off an awful shooting performance (18-of-51 from the field) in a blowout loss at Lafayette. It had won back-to-back games heading into that contest and will look to salvage the finale of this two-game road jaunt. Navy salvaged the finale of its own two-game road trip with an 82-79 overtime win at Lehigh last time out. Of note, the Midshipmen have knocked down 27 or fewer field goals in 10 of their last 12 games. That obviously makes it difficult to cover such a lofty number. Take Holy Cross.

Capitals vs Canucks NHL Free Pick

The Angle: The Vancouver Canucks have lost 11 straight games and have at 4-14-3 on home ice on the season given the home town crowd little reason to celebrate. Tonight they'll face a Washington Capitals team looking to avenge a 4-3 home loss to the Canucks back in October. Additionally, the Caps are coming into the game looking to end a three-game losing streak, and they're 3-1 off three losses on the season.

The Bet: CAPITALS (3%).

David's NBA Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. The Thunder are holding opponents to an NBA-best 108 points per game and the Bucks have scored more than 110 points in just one of their last five games. Giannis is on a minutes restriction and they're not getting much production from the rest of the team.

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the UNDER.
