66 ANA / 65 VEG Over 6.5 Circa Sports triple-dime bet
Analysis:
Anaheim is coming off an improbable, 2-0, loss to the Canucks this past Thursday. The Golden Knights lost their fourth straight game, 3-2, to the Kraken at home last night.
I'm expecting a strong bounce back effort from both teams in the offensive column.
The Ducks had nothing left against the Canucks as they were playing in their fifth consecutive road game. They had scored four goals in each of their pre„vious three games. Now they are home where they have a tendency to play fast. The Golden Knights are giving up an average of 4.1 goals in their last six games.
The Ducks are above average offensively, but rank 31st defensively. Las Vegas has a top 10 scoring offense and rates fifth on the power play. The Golden Knights have scored three or more goals in 10 of their last 14 games. Their scoring should only get better as recently acquired offensive-minded defenseman Rasmus Andersson gets more comfortable with his new teammates.
The Golden Knights are going to start Adin Hill in net. He is not having a good season with a 3.56 goals against average and .855 save percentage.
The two teams have met twice the season and there were seven goals scored in each game.
The Pick: My 50 Dime winner is the Illinois Fighting Illini
The Line: The current line is +2 at the majority of books in Vegas and offshore as of 7:50 am EST. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
My Analysis
I just don't see them losing this game.
Way back on December 13th, the 8-2 Fighting Illini of Illinois found themselves 8-2 when they welcomed the 10-0 Nebraska Cornhuskers to town.
As 9 1/2 point home favorites, they shit the bed losing outright at the buzzer 83-80.
They haven't lost since.
Were talking 10 wins in a row (7-3 ATS) including a neutral site win over Missouri 91-48 and all 4 big ten road wins.
At Penn State 73-65, at Iowa 75-69, at N'Western 79-68 and lastly, the most impressive of them all, a week ago Saturday at Purdue 88-82 getting +5 1/2.
Now comes the rematch against the Huskers.
In that 1st meeting, Nebraska got huge game from forward Pryce Sandfort, who scored 32 in the win.
I just don't see Brad Underwood allowing Sandfort to go off, especially with Nebraska missing 3rd leading scorer Braden Frager (12.2 ppg).
The Huskers return home after suffering their first loss of the year at Michigan Tuesday 75-72, an impressive loss considering the circumstances.
They battled the Wolverines missing 2 of their top 3 scorers, most notably 6'10 forward Rienk Mast, who was out with the flu.
I give Nebraska credit for their 20-1 start but in my opinion, the team playing the better basketball is Illinois.
