More Hockey Bets

Time for a big night in the NHL. I'll actually be watching the high school games, but sadly they don't put odds out for those games. I guess the pros will have to do. Here are today's picks:

Florida at Washington (-160)
Neither team is off to a great start but the Capitals are starting to turn things around. Plus they are on home ice.

Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $188

Winnipeg at Tampa Bay (-150)
Both teams are under .500 but the Lightning do know how to put the puck in the net. They have a solid division record so far as well.

Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $200

Edmonton at Detroit (-175)
There is a ton of offensive talent in this game. Could be a lot of pretty goals scored. Again the Red Wings are just too good on their home ice.

Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $171

St. Louis (-115) at Phoenix
This is the only road team I'm taking. The Blues bring a good mix of finesse and physicality which you need to pull out a road win.

Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $261

Dallas at Los Angeles (-175)
The Kings are hot right now and they are just too good at home. That may be a theme to some of these bets.

Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $171

NHL and NCAA Basketball

Haven't made a bet in quite a while. Figured it was time to get back at it. Here are my picks for today:

Tampa Bay (+105) at New Jersey

Both teams are struggling right now but I think Tampa Bay finds a way to pull out the road win. They have too much talent up front to be shut down.
Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $315

Detroit (-165) vs. Colorado

Detroit is just too good at home. Colorado is up and coming but Detroit is still the far superior team in this one.
Total Bet: $300
Potential Win: $182

Chicago (-180) vs. Minnesota

The Blackhawks are on a record setting run and I see no reason that the streak will end tonight. The Wild are just too unpredictable.
Total Bet: $400
Potential Win: $222

I'm not going to try and breakdown the basketball games, they just looked intriguing. I'm going with both ranked teams on the road. We'll see what happens.

Marquette (-7) @ Rutgers
Total Bet: $200
Potential Win: $182

Memphis (-3) at UTEP
Total Bet: $200
Potential Win: $182
