Xam’s Daily Gems:
Northwestern/Maryland Over 45.5 Points -110 BetMGM 1 Unit
Maryland has an underrated offense as they have scored 24 or more points in every game they have played this season. Quarterback Billy Edwards leads an underrated offense that has scored 27 or more points in each of their last 3 games. Northwestern hasn’t played great defense this season, coming off a game against Indiana where they gave up a whopping 41 points at home! The key to this whole Play tonight is what Northwestern can do offensively. Quarterback Jack Lausch led the Wildcats to 24 points last week, and quite frankly, if they get ANYWHERE near this total tonight, we should CRUISE to a win on this Play. Look for Maryland to come out aggressive in this game and force the Northwestern Wildcats to keep up. If Billy Edwards can keep up his solid play recently, Maryland should get a Big Ten win on their ledger!
Dodgers Money Line -140 BetMGM 1 Unit
It’s Game 5 at Dodger Stadium tonight! It’s a winner-take-all to see who takes on the Mets in the National League Championship Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes the start for the Dodgers, and he surely can’t be any worse than he was in his 1st postseason start. The Dodgers have been one of the most DOMINANT teams in the postseason and they’ve been here before. The Padres send out Yu Darvish to the mound, but this will quickly turn into a bullpen game for the Padres. Dodger Stadium will be ROCKING tonight, and the Padres have succumbed to these moments in the recent past. Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts has been here before and he won’t be fazed by the moment. This type of game is EXACTLY why the Dodgers fought so hard for the top seed in the National League. Look for the veteran-laden team to come out on top.
Golden Knights 60 Minute Money Line -135 DraftKings 1 Unit
The Blues are playing their 2nd straight game and their 3rd game in 4 nights. That is NOT the position you want to be in when you’re facing a team like the Golden Knights. In fact, the Blues are coming off an overtime win last night, so there’s a natural expectation that they may come out flat tonight in a raucous environment. The Golden Knights have an ELITE offensive team and they DOMINATED a really good Avalanche team in their opener, winning 8-4. Vegas just has TOO MANY elite weapons. Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, Tomas Hertl, and Victor Olofsson form one of the more skilled groups in the National Hockey League. However, the key to this Play is likely going to be the goalie for the Golden Knights, Adin Hill. We know Vegas will score. If Adin Hill can keep the Blues off the bord early, don’t be surprised to see an easy win come for the Golden Knights that sees them go to 2-0 on the early season.
(For this bet to win, the Golden Knights must win in regulation. Bet loses even if the Golden Knights win in OT/Shootout.)
