Why These Picks
ā
Florida v Georgia: Friends, you KNOW I love a good Gators Over pickā¦but not today. The Georgia Bulldogs have lost just one game so far this season, and theyāve held 6 of their last 7 opponents to less than 20 points (Auburn being the only exception at 27 pointsā¦) I think Florida is going to struggle against Georgiaās defense this afternoon. Take the Under to cash.
ā
MIN Timberwolves v SA Spurs: This line is some wild disrespect in my opinion. I know Minnesota is on a back-to-back here and are without Anthony Edwards, but theyāre coming off a 26-point win over the Clippers, Ā and havenāt lost by more than 6 in any of their games so far. The Timberwolves offense is incredibly capable, and the Spurs are coming off a win they struggled to get over the Utah Jazz. Now, Iāll level with you: San Antonio is rested and at home, but even under those circumstances I still donāt see Minnesota losing by double-digits, and I wouldnāt be surprised by an upset if Iām being really frank. Iāll happily take +12.5 this evening.
ā
PHI 76ers v CHA Hornets: The Sixers are on a back-to-back, yes ā but that lineup is more than capable of taking out the Hornets on their worst day in my opinion. I wouldnāt blame you if you took Philly to win outright, but Iāll go ahead and grab the cover.
ā
PIT Penguins v MTL Canadiens: Iām betting on a high-scoring affair here simply because I think Montreal wins this game 5-2. Sportsbook is giving the Penguins a ton of credit in this spot and Iām not sure if they deserve it (lol). Canadiens goaltender Jacob Fowler (1.54 GAA) is 6-1 while Pittsburghās Sergei Murashov (3.50 GAA) is 0-3. Montreal to cover the PL seems like it should be obvious, but the book has it priced at a real nice +190 (naturally, Iām susā¦) That said, the Penguins have only won 4 of their 13 games so far this season, so Iāll bite. Iām on the Over to hit, but Iāll also toss a sprinkle on that nice Montreal PL.
ā
CAL Flames v COL Avalanche: A revenge pick? Perhaps. But, the Flames are playing on a back-to-back (with Dustin Wolf in net yet againā¦) in Colorado, and I think this will bode incredibly well for the Avalanche offense. In addition, the Over has cashed in Coloradoās last 4 straight games. Iāll take the Over to hit, as well as the Avs to put at least 5 in the bag.
