For anyone who follows my twitter account, @bettingcrashers, knows that I have been on a hell of a run. My October record was 39-25 +14.74 units. To put it into perspective, if you bet $100 for every play, you would have $1,474 in your account. Humble brag. I’ll admit that my Saturday plays that are posted on Friday have been tough since lines move, goalie starts are not finalized, and Friday night games haven’t been played yet. But this isn’t about my Saturday record. It’s about the season record. So I’ll stop beating my chest and get on with my plays for Saturday…
Favorite
New York Rangers at Nashville Predators: Predators ML
Not sure what the line is, but the Preds are going to come out guns blazing. They blew a game to Flames last night that should have been in the bag. Multiple leads blows, including a 3 goal lead at one point. Tkachuk sealed the deal with a goal of the year finalist shot. I would hate to be going into Nashville right now after a bitter loss like that.
Underdog
Ottawa Senators at Boston Bruins: Sens MLÂ
This will be the best value play on the weekend. I like the Sens here for 2 reasons. First, this team is scrappy and have the nerve to compete against the big bad Bruins. Second, Bruins haven’t played a team like Ottawa in awhile. Don’t get me wrong. Boston is better in every category, but Ottawa is one of those teams that get up in big games and are difficult to play against when they throw their bodies around. Boston relies too much on that top line. Let’s see if Ottawa catches them on an off night.
Over/Under
Toronto Maple Leafs at Philadelphia Flyers: Over 6
This line might be 6.5 by Saturday afternoon. All I have to say is look at the Flyers and and Leafs schedule and tell me this shouldn’t hit 7 or 8 goals.
Good luck this weekend everyone! Remember to follow on Twitter, @bettingcrashers, for all the official plays!
