- Cowboys vs Raiders - Raiders +3.5 (-115)
- Knicks vs Heat - Nikola Jovic Points Under 10.5 (-110)
- Canadiens vs Blue Jackets - Over 6.5 (EVEN)
Cowboys vs Raiders
The Cowboys are facing the Raiders in this game here and it is on Monday night football, but it is a game that should be good, even though both of these teams have struggled on the year with the Cowboys sitting at 3-5-1 on the season, but the Raiders are sitting a 2-7 on the year. The Cowboys are a team that has had a lot of issues in their last 5 games posting a 2-3 Mark. That includes a 10 point loss to the Cardinals in their last game and before that a 20 point loss to the Broncos. The win in the last 3 was against the Commanders and was a 22 point win. The Raiders for their part have posted a 1-4 mark in their last 5 games, but the losses except for the Chiefs game in the last 3 have been close. The Raiders losses have come against the Broncos by 3 points and the Jaguars in overtime by a single point. Those losses that were close and the fact that the Cowboys have struggled make it easier for me to see the Raiders covering the spread in this game. Check out the full Cowboys vs Raiders pick.
Knicks vs Heat
The Knicks and the Heat are facing off in this game here and I am looking at a player prop in this game here. The prop is a points total in the game and it is involving Nikola Jovic who is the small forward for the Heat. Jovic has the points total set at 10.5 and I have to say that I like the under 10.5 in this game for the points scored by Jovic. In this last 5 games Jovic has struggled to score and has only hit double digits scoring in 2 games. The last game out Jovic put in only 3 points and the game before that hit 2 points. With that type of scoring and when facing the Knicks in this game here it is very difficult to see Jovic being able to score many points in the game here and that is why I am picking the under in this game. Check out the Knicks vs Heat pick.
Canadiens vs Blue Jackets
The Canadiens are traveling to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets. However, I have to say that I think this game here is one that the total is what needs to be considered. The total is set at 6.5 with the under sitting in the favorite, but I prefer the over 6.5 which is sitting at even money. The Blue Jackets are putting in 3 goals a game, but are giving up 3.11 a game. The Canadiens are putting in 3.33 goals a game, but are giving up 3.39 goals a game. The Blue Jackets in their last 5 games have went over the 6.5 total in 3 out of the 5 games and one of those games was an overtime loss. The Canadiens for their part are coming in with the total going over what is set in this game here 4 times out of the last 5 games. I look for the defenses for both of these teams to have issues and the total to go over in this game here. Check out the full Canadiens vs Blue Jackets pick.
