My Best Bets

  • Cincinnati vs Utah - Cincinnati +10.5 (-120)
  • Senators vs Canadiens - Over 6.5 (EVEN)
  • Warriors vs Pacers - Under 231.5 (-110)

Cincinnati vs Utah

The Cincinnati Bearcats have looked very impressive on the season so far, but have not really faced any of the strong teams so far either that have the talent depth and level that the Utes have. Still, the passing attack for the Bearcats is quite a bit better than the Utah Utes have been able to put on the field with Sorsby throwing for 1,843 yards and 20 touchdowns with only 1 pick which compared to Dampier who has 1,375 yards and 13 touchdowns, but has 4 picks. The Utah Utes are coming in with a slightly better running attack with Parker carrying the ball 70 times for 503 yards and 4 touchdowns. That is only slightly better than the Bearcats Pryor with 478 yards and 66 carries with 2 touchdowns. Now, the defensive side of the ball for Cincinnati has been very impressive lately giving up only 20 points to Baylor in their last game. Houston for their part outside of their last game have played good, but are still a team that has had some questionable moves at times and collapsed as the wrong time. Get the best Cincinnati vs Utah Pick around.

Senators vs Canadiens

Hockey night in Canada is always a great time, but in this game here it features a couple of teams that have played really decent offensively minded hockey lately. With the total set at 6.5 I think that is a little bit on the low side, but to be safe you could buy it down to 5.5 for the over and improve your odds. Still, I think this game will hit the over 6.5 mark rather easily as both of these teams have shown that they are able to put up quite a bit of goals on the offensive side. However, to make it even worse for the defense is they have been downright horrible and even with great offensive efforts have come up short at times. The Senators are scoring 3.58 goals a game and giving up 3.92 versus the Canadiens who have put in 3.64 goals a game and are giving up 3 goals a game. In their last 5 games the Senators would have covered the 6.5 mark 4 times, but the Canadiens have it covered 3 times and 1 of the times that was under the 6.5 hit right at 6. Either way the offensive powers in this game and horrible defenses I think are going to make it easier to see this game hitting the over 6.5. Get our full Canadiens vs Senators pick.

Warriors vs Pacers

The Warriors and the Pacers have a total that is sitting at 231.5 and that is a solid total, but the big difference is the Pacers offense has been very streaky as of late. That makes it difficult to see if the real Pacers offense is showing up or if their pretend offense will show up. That is very true when you consider the Pacers only managed to get 108 points against the Hawks on Friday night and are now playing in back to back nights to take on the Warriors. Granted, the Warriors offense has really dropped off the last 2 games as well that includes only 110 points against the Bucks in a losing effort, but also only 98 points in a game against the Clippers. The defense for Golden State has looked impressive at times and that includes in the Clippers game keeping the team to only 79 points. Look for the defense for Golden State to play great in this game here and keep the Pacers in check while also keeping the total on the under 231.5. Check out our full Pacers vs Warriors prediction.
