My Best Bets

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Toronto Maple Leafs - Pittsburgh Penguins +1.5 (-160)
Milwaukee Bucks vs Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 (-110)
Dallas Cowboys vs Arizona Cardinals - Dallas Cowboys -3.5 (EVEN)

Penguins vs Maple Leafs

The Penguins are still on the road in this game here, but the Penguins are facing a Maple Leafs team in Canada and that will definitely cause some issues for Pittsburgh. However, the Penguins are also coming into the game here with a great defense and a day off after the loss to the Jets by a score of 5-2. The Maple Leafs are coming off of a road win on Saturday against the Flyers by a score of 5-2. Now, in this game here I think the Penguins will be able to cover the spread at a +1.5 and potentially win the game outright. The Penguins are getting 3.54 goals a game and have allowed only 2.62 goals per game. The Maple Leafs are coming in with 3.58 goals a game scored, but are giving up 3.67 goals on average. With those combined we are taking the Penguins to cover at a +1.5. Get the full Preview of the Penguins vs Maple Leafs pick.

Bucks vs Pacers

The Pacers were able to finally win a game and that was a miracle as the Pacers were able to beat the Golden State team by a total of 5 points. Still, the Pacers are heading to this game here with an average of only 112.5 points per game on the year on 40.2% shooting. The Bucks for their part did lose in their last game which was against the Sacramento Kings, but it was only a 2 point loss that seen the Bucks put in 133 points. The Bucks are averaging 123.7 points per game and have ended up shooting at 52.5% clip on the season. With those factors considered it is very easy to see the Bucks are the team that will be able to pull out the win in this game as the better shooting and points on average is going to push the Bucks to the win in this game here. Check out the Bucks vs Pacers Prediction.

Cowboys vs Cardinals

The Dallas Cowboys are not that great of a team, but the Cowboys are facing the Cardinals in this game and the Cardinals are horrible on the year so far. However, what makes matters even worse for the Cardinals is the fact that they have a couple of players that are going to come down to more of a game time decision or have already been ruled out. The main key injury for the Cardinals is coming to Murray, the Cardinals quarterback. Murray has ended up leading the Cardinals with 962 yards in the air with 6 touchdowns and 3 picks but also the leading rusher with 29 carries for a score and 173 yards. The Cowboys are not coming in with many concerns on the offensive front and that is what will help guide the Cowboys team to the win and cover in this game here. Check out the full Cowboys vs Cardinals Pick.
