November 1st Summary: -4u

An absolutely brutal start to the week, going 0-4 on bets. I had 4 of 8 picks hit, but none of the parlay’s panned out for me. That’ll happen and I am not going to cry over the losses, a bounce here and there and I would’ve had a great night. I literally needed 1 more shot from Sam Bennett, which would’ve made it a -0.2u night instead of -4u, but I digress. Need the hockey Gods on my side tonight for a bounce back day.

Let’s dive into today’s plays…

Bet #1 – Nylander/Guentzel Goals (+440)

The struggling Maple Leafs play our Flyers tonight. Nylander has scored in 40% of his games this year and I expect the Leafs to come out flying against our boys tonight. I am pairing this with a Guentzel goal. He has scored in 66% of his games and did not score in his game last night. Only placing .5u on this and hoping for a nice 2u win.

Bet #2 – Thompson o3.5 & Tavares o2.5 Shots (+142)

Tage Thompson has been on fire of late. He has 8, 8, and 9 shots in his last 3 games. I will ride the hot hand into tonights tilt, where the Penguins have allowed 35.2 shots per game. John Tavares is on a hot streak of his own, hitting o2.5 shots in 6 straight games. He has hit o2.5 in 8 of 10 games this season (80%).

Bet #3 – Nylander/Rakell o2.5 Shots (+137)

I think the struggling Leafs will come out hard against the Flyers tonight, who are playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back. Nylander hit o2.5 shots in 56% of his games last year and in 6 of 10 games this year (60%). Rakell has hit o2.5 shots in 8 of 10 games this season (80%) and is 100% in his last 4 games. The Sabres have allowed 32.9 shots per game this season.

TLDR – Betting Summary

1. Nylander/Guentzel Goals (+440) .5u
2. Thompson o3.5 & Tavares o2.5 Shots (+142) 1u
3. Nylander/Rakell o2.5 Shots (+137) 1u
