WhyĀ TheseĀ Picks?

ā€

WAS Commanders v NY Giants: The Commanders have played some low-scoring games lately, but I don’t doubt that tonight will be a bit of a barnburner. 4 of the Giants’ last 5 outings have fallen North of this total, including their last meeting with Washington. In addition, New York has allowed 4 of their last 5 opponents to put at least 21 points in the bag; I’ve gotta take the Over to hit this evening.

COL Avalanche v OTT Senators: Unpopular opinion, but I think this game goes Over 6.5 even with the formidable Linus Ullmark in net this evening. 9 of the last 10 meetings between the Avalanche and the Senators have seen at least 7 goals, and with Scott Wedgewood (4.02 GAA) allowing an average of 4+ at the moment, I think the chances of a high-scoring affair are likely. Take the Over to hit for plus money.

DAL Mavericks v MIN Timberwolves: Minnesota has covered this spread in every win they’ve had so far this season. And, while I do think the Mavericks look good, I’m not ready to bet against the Timberwolves covering at home just yet. As for a total, Dallas’ matchups have fallen short of 226 in 4 of their last 5 outings, and the Timberwolves’ defense is elite. I’m taking Minnesota to pull off a win by at least 6 here and tossing a sprinkle on the Under to cash.
