Manhattan+9
I think this line opened a little high. My personal #'s show this line should be about 7.5 so that's a full point and a half of value. Penn has not been doing a good job defending their home court this year going 1-4 Straight up.The key to betting this game is if Manhattan's leading scorer George Beamon plays. He is listed as questionable with a thigh injury. If he suits up Manhattan is a strong play for me at the current # of 9. If he doesn't I'd still lean Manhattan and and would wait for the line to creep into double digits.

SPORTS WAGERS

N.Y. Islanders +240 over Buffalo (3-way line) Bet365

This is a three-way betting line wager whereas the Islanders must win in regulation. This type of line is not offered ay Pinnacle but it’s offered at most other joints including BET365, 5dimes and Sportsinteraction. It eliminates overtime and allows us to take back anywhere between 50 and 80 cents more than the standard betting line. What’s interesting is that the Islanders are only taking back +148 on the standard line and that’s a little puzzling when you consider that they have just one road win all year and the fewest wins in the league, tied with Columbus and Anaheim. By contrast, the Jackets are a +215 pooch in Vancouver tonight. That alone suggests the books are giving the Islanders a decent shot of winning here. The problem with the Islanders all season has been goaltending. They signed Rick DiPietro to a $67M contract a few years ago and felt obligated to play him since they’re paying him a fortune. Money not well spent, they now appear to be leaning to Al Montoya. The Islanders have picked up points in two of their last three games. They lost in OT to Philly and split a home-and-home series with the Devils with both games decided by a goal. The Islanders are better than their record indicates and thus, we get some tremendous value on them because of their awful record. As soon as the Jackets made a goaltending switch they started racking up points. The same could happen with the Islanders. As for the Sabres, they do get some bodies back but despite their good record they have not looked right all season long. They could easily overlook this opponent and get caught napping. The line suggests so. Play: N.Y. Islanders +240 (Risking 2 units).


Pittsburgh -½ +145 over N.Y. RANGERS

The Rangers are hot with nine wins in 11 games and that’s why the Pens are only a small favorite in this game. However, we can play the puck line or three-way line and take back a pretty sweet tag and that’s precisely the plan. The Rangers are an overachieving squad and a correction in their winning percentage is forthcoming, especially that unsustainable win percentage at home. New York is getting crushed during 5-on-5 play in terms of shots for and shots allowed. The Rangers currently own the second-worst shot differential per game during even-strength play at minus-8 and for a team that does not score a lot of goals, that’s a time bomb, sure to go off soon. A close look at their recent schedule shows the Rangers beating every non-playoff team in the league during their current surge. They defeated a reeling Capitals team and a depleted Flyers team and prior to that they defeated the Islanders, Carolina, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Montreal and Anaheim. Eight of the Rangers 12 wins this season have come against teams under .500. This is an average team, which will be exposed as soon as the schedule gets tougher. That begins here. Play: Pittsburgh -½ +145 (Risking 2 units).

WUNDERDOG
1 OF 7
Game: Michigan at Virginia (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Virginia -3 (-110)

Tonight, a pair of conference heavyweights do battle in Charlottesville as No. 15 Michigan takes on the Virginia Cavaliers. The Cavs have been decisive on the defensive end of the court, allowing just 47 points per game will make shot selection a must for the Wolverines as almost everything will be challenged. It will be even tougher as this will be the first true road game of the season for Michigan. Virginia is still under the radar, leading to a stellar 18-7 ATS mark over their last 25 games, which includes 15-6 ATS in their last 21 vs. a winning team. Ranked teams often struggle on the road vs. an unranked team, so I like Virginia to grab the win and cover at home.

This is one of 2, the other one is the game of the month.
NHL 41-31 Last 72 picks +$1240
Game: Florida at Carolina (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Carolina -105 (moneyline)

The Panthers' offense has suddenly gone stone cold. They have managed to light the lamp just four times in their last three games, and the last two have resulted in losses. They have to pick-up the pieces as they take to the road vs. Carolina tonight, as these teams meet for the first time this season. The Hurricanes have dropped three straight themselves, but are in a good spot as they are 19-8 in their last 27 as a favorite of -150 or less. The Panthers, on the other hand, find themselves in a bad spot as they are now 0-8 in their last eight contests when playing on two days of rest. That is likely to become 0-9 after tonight as playing at Carolina has truly been a house of horrors for this Panthers team. Florida is now 4-24-2 in their last 30 trips to Carolina.
Play on Carolina in this one.
