My Best Bets

Blue Jackets vs Red Wings - Columbus Blue Jackets ML (+105)
Pistons at Bucks - Detroit Pistons -8.5 (-115)
Rutgers at Ohio State - Rutgers Scarlet Knights +31.5 (-110)

Blue Jackets vs Red Wings

The Blue Jackets are taking to the road in this game here and will be facing the Red Wings in Detroit. In this game here, though, I actually like the underdog Blue Jackets. The Jackets are coming off of a tough hard fought overtime win over the Maple Leafs in their last game, but also are coming in with a slightly better offense and defense in the game here. The total is tempting if you are looking for an under 6.5 bet, but I think the Red Wings bring home the win in this game here as the Red Wings have a lot of questions to answer after losing to the Islanders by a score of 5-0. Check out the full Blue Jackets vs Red Wings pick.

Pistons vs Bucks

The Bucks are coming in missing their big man in Antetokounmpo and the offense has suffered tremendously without his presence on the court. The offense and defense for Milwaukee has an average of 117.4 points per game on the scoring and 119 on the defensive side allowed. However, the Pistons are coming in with 118.9 points per game scored and only 112.1 points per game allowed. The Detroit team is also coming in after getting some very impressive wins recently and that is going to continue in this game here as I full expect Detroit to be able to win and cover in this game here. The Bucks are also coming here after losing 4 out of their last 5 games and the closest any of the losses have been was 9 points in overtime to Philadelphia. With that being the case the Bucks are going to have a hard time keeping pace in this game here as the Pistons have a better offense and defensive sides of the ball. Check out the full Pistons vs Bucks prediction.

Rutgers vs Ohio State

This is a game that is being played in Columbus and should be an easy win for the Buckeyes. However, I do not like the spread int his game being set at 31.5 points. Yes, the Buckeyes do have a great offensive and defensive combination the vaunted team has only covered a 30+ point margin 2 times in their last 5 games this year. One of those was against UCLA, but the other was against Wisconsin. Now, those teams do not have as good of an offensive threat as the Scarlet Knights have and I think the Scarlet Knights will get some ball movement, granted not as much as they would like, but they do get some. That type of movement makes it easier for me to see the Rutgers Scarlet Knights covering the spread in this game here. Check out the full Rutgers vs Ohio State pick.
