My Best Bets

Oklahoma vs Gonzaga - Under 163.5 (-105)
Ohio State vs Purdue - Purdue +30.5 (-115)
Utah Mammoth vs Montreal Canadiens - Over 6.5 (+115)

Oklahoma vs Gonzaga

Oklahoma and Gonzaga are both teams that have some great offensive prowess that could really show up on the court at any given time. However, both of these squads are ones that have a defense that has been able to show up as well and keep the opponents under tight control. With that being the case here I think that the defenses is what will end up determining the outcome of this game here. Yes, I think that Gonzaga will end up getting the win in the game, but I am not sure if they will cover the spread and I am going to go with the total in this game. I see the Sooners defense doing enough to keep Gonzaga from running away with this game and that leads to the under being what I am looking at here. Check out the full Oklahoma vs Gonzaga Prediction.

Ohio State vs Purdue

This game here is one that I really had a hard time looking past when I seen it on the charts. The Boilermakers have ruined the Ohio State seasons in years past and while I do not see the Purdue team getting the win in this game, I do see the Boilermakers covering the spread. The Buckeyes in their last 5 games have only covered a spread that big two times and those two times were against teams that were not nearly as talented as Purdue. The Boilermakers for their part have played hard and look like a team that if Ohio State starts to look past could cause the Buckeyes some issues. That is what I see happening here is the Buckeyes are getting to confident in the game and start to look past Purdue which allows the Boilermakers back in just enough to cover the spread. Check out the full Ohio State vs Purdue Prediction.

Mammoth vs Canadiens

This game is featuring a couple of teams that have had some great runs lately, but have also seen some struggles and flops. However, I think the game here will hit the over as both of these teams have an offense that has been hard to stop on the ice. Now, the defenses have looked impressive as well, but as most people know in hockey with the fast action and hard hitting pace it will be the offense that shows up in the game. Not to mention once this game starts to get close to the end and one of the teams has a lead the empty net will start to become a serious issue as I see an empty net goal pushing this total on the over. Look for our full Canadiens vs Mammoth Pick.
