Hockey Is Back...Football Is Still Around

Since the NHL is finally ready to drop the puck that means it is time to place some hockey bets. Apparently this is also an important weekend in the NFL so we can't just ignore that. Here are my picks for this weekend's action:

NFL Money Line Parlay

New England (-360) and Atlanta (+170)

I can't get a good read on the spreads for these games so I'm going with the money line. I think the Patriots will win comfortably. I just can't go against Brady at home. Nobody is giving the Falcons a chance to win this game. For some reason I am. I think Kaepernick is overrated, no way he repeats what he did last week. The Falcons offense has enough firepower to win this game. It may come down to a last second play like last week, but I have faith the Falcons will get it done.

Total Bet: $100
Potential Win: $245


NHL Parlay

Chicago (-105) and Carolina (-105) and Minnesota/Colorado Over 5 goals (-130)

Chicago underwhelmed last year and has too much talent to not make some noise this year. Carolina added another Staal and Semin and that should help them score some goals this year. Minnesota and Colorado is a pretty decent rivalry game that features a lot of young offensive talent. I expect a high scoring game to start the season.

Total Bet: $100
Potential Win: $574

NHL Grand Salami (Total Goals Scored in All NHL Games) UNDER 72

I have never seen this bet before but it is very intriguing. There may be some sloppy play to begin the season and I think most teams will play a safer and defensive style. That is why I am taking the under on 72 goals scored for the day.

Total Bet: $100
Potential Win: $91

That is it for this weekend, good luck on your plays.
