WhyĀ TheseĀ Picks?
ā
WAS Commanders v NY Giants: The Commanders have played some low-scoring games lately, but I donāt doubt that tonight will be a bit of a barnburner. 4 of the Giantsā 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; Iāve gotta take the Over to hit this evening.
ā
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.
ā
DAL Mavericks v MIN Timberwolves: Minnesota has covered this spread in every win theyāve had so far this season. And, while I do think the Mavericks look good, Iām not ready to bet against the Timberwolves covering at home just yet. As for a total, Dallasā matchups have fallen short of 226 in 4 of their last 5 outings, and the Timberwolvesā defense is elite. Iām taking Minnesota to pull off a win by at least 6 here and tossing a sprinkle on the Under to cash.
