Red Sox v. Astros -1.5 | | 4-1 |
Loss | -100 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
The Red Sox are outplaying the Astros and have the better overall team this season but with Chris Sale's injuries this season the Astros still have the best pitcher. Verlander seems to be getting better and better with age and he has been dominate again this postseason. He held the Red Sox to 2 runs on 2 hits one week after he held the Indians to 2 runs on 2 hits in the ALDS. Red Sox manager Alex Cora went all out with his bullpen to win game 5 and put the Sox up 3-1 knowing who was pitching in game 5 and if the Sox lose game 5 he knew he would have Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi waiting in game 6 and 7 to advance to the World Series. After two straight intense games, Boston's bullpen is taxed and that's not good with Price on the mound. Price didn't pitch too bad in game 2 but he will struggle the second time against this Astros lineup. I think the Astros win by a few runs in this one so I'm betting the run line to maximize profits and minimize risk. The Pick: Take Houston -1.5 |

Red Sox v. Astros OVER 8.5 | | 8-6 |
Win | 113 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
These two offenses should put up some runs in game 4 with both teams throwing their 4th starters. These offenses put a lot of pressure on opposing pitchers and they don't miss mistakes and with these two guys on the mound, there will be mistakes. Rick Porcello has pitched well of late including out of the bullpen this postseason. But in 2 starts against Houston this season Porcello gave up 7 runs on 12 hits with 3 walks and 3 home runs as both games went OVER. On the other side, Charlie Morton is making his first start of the postseason and against a Red Sox offense that is locked in right now and can smell blood in the water. Morton hasn't pitched more than 3 innings in a month and in 2 games against Boston this season he has given up 8 runs on 16 hits with 3 walks and 3 home runs again with both games OVER. The Pick: Take The OVER. |

Brewers v. Dodgers -168 | | 2-5 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
Brewers manager Craig Counsel went all out to win game 4 for obvious reasons. A 3-1 lead would have been almost insurmountable for the Dodgers with games 6 and 7 in Milwaukee. The Brewers pitched all of their best relievers in a desperate attempt to keep the Dodgers at 1 run and win the game. They didn't win it and now game 5 looks lost as well. This is one of the biggest games of Clayton Kershaw's life as he's pitching at home in a must-win game if they want to avoid needing both games in Milwaukee. I think Kershaw is going to pitch better and keep the Brewers at bay long enough for their bats to score some runs. Wade Miley pitched very well in game 2 but now he's working on 3 days rest and pitchers who throw on short rest in the playoffs since 1995 are under .500 and have an ERA of almost 4.5 runs. Kershaw pitches well and the Dodgers finally get some runs against Miley and a fatigued Brewers bullpen. The Pick: Take The Dodgers |

10-16-18 |
Brewers v. Dodgers OVER 7.5 | | 1-2 |
Loss | -104 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
With the Brewers starting Gio Gonzalez they are basically telling us they are throwing another bullpen game in game 4. Gonzalez started game 1 and only lasted 2 innings before being pulled and expect him to go no more than 3 in this one. With the Dodgers success against their entire bullpen except for Josh Hader I think they push across some runs in this one. Rich Hill is still a very effective pitcher at 38 but I see him having a little trouble against Milwaukee's hitters who are getting more and more confident. The two games Rich Hill pitched against the Dodgers this season ended 6-4, I expect that kind of score tonight. The Pick: Take The OVER |

Red Sox +123 v. Astros | | 8-2 |
Win | 123 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
In my opinion, Nathan Eovaldi should have started game 2 for the struggling David Price. Eovaldi was electric in game 3 at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox scored 16 runs in that game but they didn't need them. Eovaldi was keeping the Yankee batters off balance all night with 99mph gas mixed with killer off-speed pitches. He is just what the Red Sox need to keep this powerful Houston lineup off balance as well and proved a week ago in Yankee Stadium that the rowdy crowd at Minute Maid Park will not bother him in the least. Dallas Keuchel hasn't been close to as effective for the Astros as he was last year and his success in the last 3 games was due to weak lineups. The Red Sox hitters are relentless and should knock Keuchel out fairly early. The Pick: Take The Red Sox |

Brewers v. Dodgers UNDER 7.5 | | 4-0 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
Walker Buehler had a rough outing against Atlanta in the NLDS but I'm going to chalk that up to one rough inning for a very talented young pitcher. Buehler's stuff is electric and his 12 starts prior to his Atlanta struggles he gave up a total of 13 earned runs and only 2 of those 13 games eclipsed 7 total runs. Jhoulys Chacin is the perfect pitcher for the Brewers on the road. Chacin has only allowed 7 earned runs in his last 7 road starts and 3 of those starts were in Wrigley and 2 in St Louis. The Brewers bullpen has struggled in the first 2 games but their top bullpen pitcher Josh Hader has had 3 days rest and is ready to go multiple innings. All signs point to the UNDER. The Pick: Take The UNDER |

Man if ever there is a spot to fade the Chiefs it’s gotta be prime time against the Patriots. Add to that the fact that the Chiefs embarrassed New England last year, and we have a perfect spot. BB is almost unbeatable at home against young QBs but really this bet is about the Patriots offense doing whatever they want. This is easy PICK: PATRIOTS -3 |
10-14-18 |
Astros v. Red Sox OVER 8 | | 5-7 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
This one has all the makings of an offensive show with David Price and Gerritt Cole on the mound. Yes Cole has pitched great this season but he will struggle a little in Fenway against a dangerous Red Sox lineup with their backs against the wall. In 2 starts against Boston this season Cole has given up 5 earned with 3 home runs and some of Boston's best hitters has had a lot of success against him. David Price is back to pitching terrible as he's given up 7 home runs in his last 3 starts. He will struggle mightilly against this fantastic Astros lineup. The Pick:Take The OVER |
10-14-18 |
Jaguars v. Cowboys +3 | | 7-40 |
Win | 105 | 45 h 20 m | Show |
The Jaguars have been all over the place this year but the one constant is they have underperformed on defense and in the running game. That leaves too much on the unreliable shoulders of Blake Bortles, especially on the road against a stingy Dallas defense. Dallas is yet again plagued by poor coaching and lack of play makers. Still, they do have enough to put up some points, even against this solid defense. I’m expecting Dallas to play good defense and possibly win this outright. Going with the home dog. PICK: Cowboys +3 |

Ravens v. Titans +2.5 | | 21-0 |
Loss | -100 | 41 h 53 m | Show |
If you have followed me for a while you know I pick my spots when using trends. The main factor is I need there to be a large, league wide sample for a trend to be meaningful. In other words, a trend should have a lot of games in a long period of time and rarely be team specific. All that said, we have a great trend in this one. NFL teams in their third straight road game are 42% ATS over the last 30 years. That’s pretty remarkable on its own. Add to that the fact that the Titans are coming off a miserable loss to the Bills and there is a huge overreaction and we have a nice play. PICK: Titans +2.5 |

Cardinals v. Vikings -10 | Top | 17-27 |
Push | 0 | 51 h 15 m | Show |
When looking at a match up it is useful to look at each teams main strengths versus their opponents weaknesses. Arizona matches up terribly with Minnesota this way. The Vikings strength defensively is their front 7 and their pass rush while Arizona simply cannot pass protect. David Johnson has been a non factor so Rosen is in for a long day with pressure in his face ( and likely down early). The Vikings strength is their two great wideouts and Arizona can only match up with one of them. Throw in the fact that AZ struggles stopping tight ends and 6ou have a blow out Sunday. This is a larger spread than I would normally bet, but it’s Going to get ugly. PICK: VIKINGS -10 |
10-14-18 |
Bears v. Dolphins OVER 41.5 | | 28-31 |
Win | 100 | 42 h 50 m | Show |
The Bears have become a force on defense and they travel to a Miami team that has been struggling offensively. Seems like an obvious under then right? Not so fast. This number is way too low. It seems like a classic case of overreacting to both the Bears good defense and Miami‘s issues. I have this over at 43-44 at least, particularly in a year like this and will gladly take this and expect Miami to make plays in the passing game. PICK: OVER 41.5 |
10-14-18 |
Bucs v. Falcons -3 | | 29-34 |
Win | 100 | 38 h 37 m | Show |
Atlanta finds itself in a must win game if they have any aspirations for the playoffs. At 3 points we are catching some value with the Falcons who were a preseason 7 pt favorite in this game. Not much has really changed about my ratings for either team so the line is significantly favorable. Atlanta has played poor defense but their offense is unstoppable at home and I don’t expect this to change against a pourous Bucs defense. PICK: FALCONS -3 |
10-14-18 |
Steelers v. Bengals | | 28-21 |
Win | 105 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
The Steelers flat out own the Bengals. In fact they are 17-6-1 against the number in their last 24 games facing their divisional rivals. Same goes for Big Ben, who normally stinks on the road. He plays very well in Cincinnati. Add to these overwhelming trends the fact the Bengals have been pretty fortunate in their wins and the Steelers need this game to salvage this season and all signs point to a big performance from Pitt. While I really like this Bengals team, this won’t be their week. PICK: STEELERS ( PICK) |

Dodgers -123 v. Brewers | | 4-3 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show |
With their ace on the mound the Dodgers played about as bad as they have in any game this year and still almost won the game. After 4 errors, multiple passed balls, and Catchers interference they still almost came back down 5 runs against the best bullpen in baseball. Not only did they gain confidence that they can hit the Brewers bullpen but they have the added benefit of Milwaukee’s best pitcher Josh Hader, is unavailable for this game. Last night was a wake up call for Los Angeles that they aren’t playing the Braves anymore. They’ll respond this afternoon to even the series at 1. The Pick: Take the Dodgers on the money line. |

Dodgers v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | | 5-6 |
Loss | -118 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
In game 2 of the NLDS Clayton Kershaw looked like the ace the Dodgers need to win the World Series. He's going up against a Brewers lineup that will rely on lights out pitching and timely hits to win game this post season. In 2 games against the Brewers this season Kershaw pitched great only giving up 3 runs in 12 innings of work. On the other side you have Gio Gonzalez who has been fantastic since joining the Brewers at the deadline. In 5 starts and 25 innings of work Gonzalez only allowed 6 total earned runs and in 3 of those 5 starts he gave up zero. He has the added bonus of not pitching against the Dodgers since June 5 of 2017. The Brewers have the best bullpen in baseball and they are well rested so expect a quick hook if there is even 1 or 2 runs scored. Kershaw and the Brewers pitching staff keep the hitters in check in game 1. The Pick: Take The UNDER |

Eagles -1 v. Giants | | 34-13 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
The NFC East as a whole has struggled thus far. Leading the way in disappointing starts are the Eagles, who appear to have a major hangover. Tonight is as good a time as any to get right against a Giants team that is too flawed to compete week to week. As good as Barkley looks, most thought it was a head scratcher when they passed on drafting a QB and spent big on a RB. It looks like that skepticism was well founded because Eli is well below replacement level as a signal caller. Combine that with the fact that the Eagles still sport a defense that is more than capable of rushing the passer and you have a recipe for a rough night for the Giants. More so, I expect that Eagles passing game to finally get off against a pass defense that has been less than stout. I am not sure whether Philly will return to form this year or not but they have enough talent to pull out a win and beat this small number Thursday night. Take The road favorite. PICK: EAGLES -1 |

Georgia Southern -17 v. Texas State | | 15-13 |
Loss | -109 | 4 h 27 m | Show |
Georgia Southern is an impressive 5-0 ATS on the season and is in the perfect spot to go 6-0. The Eagles have dangerous dual-threat QB Shai Werts who is dynamic running the ball but can also throw if needed. In this game he won't have to throw much as Texas Tech's run defense is awful. The Bobcats have given up over 200 yards a game on the ground this season which isn't good when you're facing Werts who has almost 500 yards and 8 touchdowns and a Georgia Southern offense that ranks 8th in the country in rushing yards. Southern runs wild and scores the cover. The Pick: Take Georgia Southern |
10-11-18 |
Texas Tech v. TCU OVER 58.5 | | 17-14 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 53 m | Show |
Texas Tech is the #1 offense in the Big 12 and TCU has one of the best defenses in the conference but this total has everything to do with Tech's defense. The Red Raiders are awful on the defensive side like they have been most years under Kliff Kingsbury. Tech ranks 60th in the country in rushing yards against, 87th in passing yards, 119th in total yards and are giving up 39 points a game if you take out their 77-0 win against FCS school Lamar. Look for TCU to run all over Texas Tech then hit them over the top for big plays. I lied when I said it was all about their defense. Their offense is still very dangerous and will score throwing the ball on TCU who gave up 40 and 31 to Ohio State and Texas. The Pick: Take The OVER |

Red Sox v. Yankees OVER 9 | | 4-3 |
Loss | -102 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
Game 4 of any playoff series usually leans towards the over since both teams are throwing their 4th starter or an ace on 3 days rest. CC Sabathia has been a great pitcher over the years but at 38 he relies on his cutter and off speed pitches to paint corners and make hitters chase. The Red Sox are very patient and showed last night they don’t need the long ball to score runs. With as locked in as the Sox hitters will still be from last night I don’t see Sabathia getting out of this start unscathed. Porcello has pitched well against the Yankees this season but his one start at Yankee Stadium with both teams at full strength didn’t go well. He should give up a few tonight before exiting in the 5th inning and Boston‘s bullpen is the worst in the Playoffs. The Yankees and Red Sox have played 22 games this season and combined for 9 runs or more in 17 of them. Make that 18 of 23. The Pick: Take The OVER |

Tuesday night college football is back and we are all over the total on this one. Two high powered offenses meet on the super short week and this spells shootout! Arkansas State is going to look to throw early and often on a stingy App St run defense. He should have some success too, as App St hasnt been tested in the secondary much. I would also expect Julian Moore to have a big game running the ball against a shaky Arkansas State d-line. PICK: OVER 59.5 |

Canucks v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | | 3-5 |
Win | 102 | 5 h 54 m | Show |
The Canucks coaches were worried about their defense and goaltending to start the season and their 2 games thus far have shown they were right as Vancouver has allowed 9 goals. The good news is their offense has been very good as well so even giving up all those goals they’ve split their 2 games. 19 year old center Elias Pettersson looks like a special player with 3 goals and 2 assists in 2 games and should be a factor in this one. The Hurricanes have had their defensive struggles as well as goaltending issues. All signs point to a high scoring game. The Pick: Take The OVER |
10-08-18 |
Red Sox +161 v. Yankees | | 16-1 |
Win | 161 | 20 h 49 m | Show |
The Red Sox will be walking into what is guaranteed to be a crazy environment in Yankee stadium for game 3. Most if not all other A.L. teams would wilt playing in front of 55,000 rabid fans in the Bronx but not these Red Sox who have played in this stadium enough to know what they're walking into and they not only have the talent but the pitcher to handle it. Nathan Eovaldi pitched for the Yankees a few years back and went 10-5 at Yankee Stadium with a 3.70 ERA. This season he's pitched great against them only allowing 5 earned runs in 23 innings including allowing only 2 hits in 6 scoreless innings at Yankee Stadium on September 18th. Louis Severino was a clear cut ace for the Yankees but struggled down the stretch. He started 5 times against the Sox going 3-2. More importantly than the numbers the Red Sox have just seen him so much this season their hitters should have success against him in this spot. The books set a ridiculous line in this one and we're going to take advantage and a nice return on our investment as the Red Sox take game 3 and home field advantage back. The Pick: Take The Red Sox |

Foltynewicz did throw only 50 pitches on Thursday so he won't be running on empty but what the Dodgers did during those 50 pitches is what matters Which is draw 3 walks and hit 3 home runs. Expect the Dodgers to take a lot of pitches, draw a couple walks, make him throw strikes and get at least 3 runs off him in the first half of the game. On the other side Rich Hill has struggled against good lineups all season and with the confidence the Braves gaimed yesterday at the plate should carry over. This will be a back and forth game with the bullpens taking over by the 5th inning. The Pick: Take The OVER. |

Astros v. Indians -116 | | 11-3 |
Loss | -116 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
As the series shifts to Cleveland the Indians are in a must win game after losing to the Astros two aces and they have the pitching advantage to do it. Dallas Keuchel has not been the same pitcher he was during the World Series run, not even close. Keuchel has given up 37 hits, 14 walks and 17 runs in his last 31 innings with an ERA pushing 5. On the other hand Cleveland's Mike Clevinger has been outstanding. Clevinger as an ERA of 2.15 since August 1st and the Indians ar 8-2 in his last 10 starts. Cleveland is dangerous with a lead, especially at home and they'll get the lead in this one and hold off the Astros to force game 4. The Pick: Take Cleveland |

Dodgers -170 v. Braves | | 5-6 |
Loss | -170 | 17 h 59 m | Show |
Atlanta is just outclassed in this series. They don't have the bats to do anything off Dodger starting pitching and they don't have the starting pitching to slow the lethal Dodger bats down. Walker Buehler is a star and knows if he wants to be an ace on this team he has to close out the Braves and I think he will. He'll be able to make a few mistakes because Newcomb will struggle. Look for the Dodgers to get a early lead and hold on for the sweep. The Pick: Take The Dodgers |

Brewers v. Rockies UNDER 9.5 | | 6-0 |
Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show |
The starting pitchers and bullpens have been in complete control in the first 2 games and that won't change at Coors Field. German Marquez has been great at home and should be able to keep Milwaukee bats relatively quiet as long as he's careful to Yelich and Braun. Wade Miley has been outstanding since joining the starting staff in July and any sign of trouble and Milwaukee's amazing bullpen will clean it up. The PICK: Take The UNDER |
10-07-18 |
Raiders v. Chargers -4.5 | | 10-26 |
Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show |
The Raiders have no pass rush, which doesn't make the Mack trade look any better. They also have no real ability to stop anyone and that doesn't bode well for a match up against Rivers and the Chargers. I realize this is not a real home game for the Chargers. In fact, they seem to be preparing for a road-like atmosphere this week by pumping noise into their practices. Still, the Chargers are going to pour it on this lousy Raiders team and win big. PICK: Chargers -4.5 |
10-07-18 |
Jaguars +3 v. Chiefs | | 14-30 |
Loss | -110 | 17 h 13 m | Show |
The Chiefs have been Scoring at will with their high powered offense led by Mahomes and a slew of weapons. Along with that they sport a swiss cheese defense though. In fact, at Denver, they were really a bad Keenan throw away from having lost to a mediocre Broncos team. Mahomes is the real deal but this Jaguars defense is a way stiffer test than what they have faced thus far. The Chiefs won’t be able to stop the Jags running attack or quick passing game and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jacksonville gets the outright win. PICK: Jaguars +3 |
10-07-18 |
Dolphins v. Bengals UNDER 48.5 | | 17-27 |
Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show |
Scoring has been crazy thus far with an even stronger emphasis in protecting the offense from the league. Every week we see 400+passing games and pinball scores. But as with everything, there comes a point where the value is simply no longer there. 48.5 is too many points for a game that includes a couple decent defenses and the Dolphins offense on the road. This should be the week Miami actually tries to run the ball which also will slow the game down. The Bengals offense has been great but this week the game script will be different PICK: UNDER 48.5 |

Fireworks at Fenway tonight. Tanaka is terrible against the Red Sox but not as bad as Price is against the Yankees. Both starting pitchers struggle and will be lucky to still be in the game in the 5th inning. The offenses put on a show and sends this game Over. The Pick : Take The OVER |

Kentucky +6 v. Texas A&M | | 14-20 |
Push | 0 | 33 h 1 m | Show |
This match up reads like a toss up to me, so taking the 6 points is a no brainer. A&M is a tough team to play on the road but Kentucky has been impressive defensively, let by all world pass rusher Josh Allen and Snell looking like one of the best backs in the country. The Aggies will try to force Kentucky to pass the ball and may have some success in this way but Kentucky will find a way to make enough plays to keep this one close and maybe get the win. PICK: Kentucky +6 |

SMU v. Central Florida -24 | | 20-48 |
Win | 100 | 33 h 52 m | Show |
SMU travels to Florida to take on UCF as a big road underdog. This is not a good match up for the Mustangs. I fully expect UCF to make a bunch of big plays and score pretty much at will. UCF is scoring at an amazing rate of 94% inside the Red Zone and that doesn't bode well for SMU who can't stop teams inside the 20. The only chance SMU has is to limit UCF to FG's and force turnovers, which seems unlikely. PICK: Central Florida -24 |

Indians v. Astros -155 | | 1-3 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show |
The Indians are a really good team and may make this a longer series when it shifts to Cleveland but the Astros have the look they had last year of a dominant home playoff team. Houston also has the advatage of sending another ace to the mound with Gerritt Cole while the Indians send Carrasco who struggled down the stretch and doesn't match up well against this deep Astros lineup. In his back to back outings against them in May he gave up 8 earned runs and 3 home runs. Houston goes up 2-0. The Pick: Take The Astros |
10-06-18 |
Oilers v. Devils OVER 6 | | 2-5 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
These two teams kick off their season in Sweden as a part of the NHL Global series. The combination of offensive firepower for each team, Devils #1 goalie Corey Scheider injured, the emotion of opening the season and playing in Sweden in front of rabid European fans will make these players want to put on a show. Less defensive than usual in this one. The Pick: Take The OVER |

Kansas v. West Virginia -27.5 | | 22-38 |
Loss | -110 | 27 h 32 m | Show |
Kansas has been a bit better than I anticipated this year, sort of hanging tough in games they shouldn't but this is a terrible spot for them. West Virginia's high powered offense is going to feast on that Kansas defense this Saturday. WVU QB Grier, a Heisman Candidate, will eat this Kansas secondary up early and often. Kansas has only one real strength offensively and that is their rushing attack. However, WVU is holding their opponents to a mere 3.4 YPA. Lay the points. PICK: West Virginia -27.5 |

Win | 100 | 26 h 10 m | Show |
Buffalo was one of the surprise stories heading into last week when they stumbled at home vs Army. Because of that performance, we get this great number against a woeful Central Michigan team. UB is loaded with talent. Led by a top 5 NFL prospect in QB Tyree Jackson, and another first rounder in WR Anthony Johnson, this Bulls team will rebound against a Central Michigan team that struggles to score. PICK: Buffalo -7.5 |

Northwestern v. Michigan State -10 | | 29-19 |
Loss | -106 | 26 h 5 m | Show |
Northwestern is worse than I expected, and I didn't expect them to be great. They have no obvious strengths an are severely lacking in athleticism. This does not bode well for traveling to East Lansing to face a nasty defense. Michigan State will establish enough on offense to put this away by the mid third quarter and rack up a 20 pt type win. Michigan State gets revenge for their last few losses to Northwestern this weekend. PICK: Michigan State -10 |

Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
With the Cubs gone no NL team has more talent than Los Angeles. This series looks like a mismatch especially with how well the Dodgers can play at home. Ryu has been outstanding down the stretch. He'll keep Atlanta to a couple runs and the Dodgers bats will do the rest. The Pick: Take The Dodgers |
10-04-18 |
Colts +11 v. Patriots | | 24-38 |
Loss | -105 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
The New England Patriots looked fantastic in dismantling the Dolphins but this number is a big overreaction to the Patriots exposing the Dolphins as overrated. The Patriots get Julian Edelman back but more important is Rob Gronkowski looks like he will be sitting this one out. With the emergence of running back Sony Michel and the absence of Gronk I don't see the Patriots coming out and throwing it all over the field. Andrew Luck may not be able to throw a hail mary 65 yards in the air but he is still a dangerous quarterback who is extremely smart, can read defenses with the best of them and find the weak spots in any formation. The Patriots defense is still not very good despite how inept the Dolphins looked last week. Even with the absence of T.Y. Hilton the Colts have weapons that can and will hurt the Patriots defense. Look for the Colts to attack N.E. by running the football, the short passing game with tight end Eric Ebron and the receivers running under routes and even trick plays. If the Colts get behind coach Frank Reich and Luck will have no problem throwing 60+ times as well. Patriots win the game but the Colts cover. The Pick: Take The Points and The Colts |
10-04-18 |
Jets +104 v. Blues | | 5-1 |
Win | 104 | 18 h 37 m | Show |
The St Louis Blues decided after narrowly missing the playoffs last season to get younger. They hope a mixture a youth and experience will put them in position to make the playoffs and maybe even do some damage. Problem with going young and a lot of new faces is it takes time to click. Winnipeg will be one of the best teams in hockey and should be clicking out of the gate. The Pick: Take Winnipeg. |

Blackhawks -120 v. Senators | | 4-3 |
Win | 100 | 17 h 9 m | Show |
After nearly making the Stanley Cup Finals a couple years ago the Senators crashed and burned last season. They decided to start over and do a rebuild which included trading away arguably the best defenseman in the NHL Erik Karlsson to San Jose. The Blackhawks are on the verge of the same kind of rebuild but not this season. Chicago still has too much talent on the ice for Ottawa to handle on opening night. The Pick: Take Chicago |
