 Devils understood the assignment.

The Under 6.5 is 9-0 this month in Devils games, including the first game being a 5-1 W vs. NYR.  Quick's last start vs. NJD as a Ranger, he held them to 1 goal.  Markstrom's last 4 starts vs. NYR went Under 6.5.

Pick:  NYR/NJD Under 6.5

Texas Defense has never allowed more than 204 passing yards all season.  The 2nd highest allowed was Carson Beck (175 passing yards).

Pick:  Klubnik Under 218.5 passing yards (Fanduel)

Pick:  WPG (-1.5)

  5-2 on O/U picks in the last 7 days.

Husso has a .818 SV%, 4.92 GAA in 3 games.  In relief of Talbot, he allowed 3 goals in not even a full 2 periods of play.

Before the BOS @ DET game on 11/23, the last three times that Swayman held DET to 1 goal, the next game of the series he allowed 4 goals.  Guess what he did in his most recent start vs. DET -- he held them to 1 goal.

Pick:  DET/BOS Over 5.5

@Athalon

 That was a disgusting beat. 

Zibanejad Over 0.5 pts is 12-4 (.750) in the last 16 games of this series.

Hischier Over 0.5 pts is 10-2 (.833) in the last 12 games of this series.

Shesterkin allowed 3+ goals in his last 3 HOME starts vs. NJD, which all went OVER 6.5.

Markstrom has allowed 3+ goals in 6 of his last 7 AWAY games inside the U.S.

NYR are 5-1 to the Over 6.5 in the last 6 HOME games.

 Primeau understands the assignment.  BOS 3-0, End 1st.

 Westbrook-Ikhine understood the assignment.

 McBride understood the assignment.

 Talbot got injured, and Husso wasted no time giving up the lead.

 Najee understood the assignment.

"The Good:" Cam Talbot vs. VAN  Pick:  DET ML (+110)

Talbot is 8-2-1 in his last 11 starts vs. VAN.  DET is 5-1 vs. VAN in the last 6 of the series.  Lankinen has lost his last two starts @ DET.  Lankinen is a perfect 9-0 on the road.  Regression is coming soon.

"The Bad:"  Blue Jackets on the road  Pick:  CHI ML (-105)

CBJ is 1-7 in their last 8 AWAY games.  Mrazek is 3-0 in his last 3 HOME starts, and those were against the top teams in the league (DAL, FLA, MIN).

"The Ugly:" Primeau vs. BOS  Pick:  MON/BOS OVER 5.5

Primeau has allowed 3+ goals in 8 of his 9 starts.  His last start @BOS, he gave up 6 goals.  His save % is only .800 vs. BOS.  Swayman has allowed 3+ goals to MON in 3 of his last 4 starts.  MON has played three other back-to-backs -- the first back-to-back had a total of 10, and the other two had a total of 7.

Goalies understood the assignment.

4-1 this Thanksgiving weekend (+3.4 units)

 PHI 1-0, End 2nd period.

Anytime TD Scorer:

Okonkwo (TEN) [+600]

WAS has allowed 6 TD's to 6 different TE's in the last 8 weeks.  Okonkwo hasn't scored much since Week 1, but he did just score last week.

Westbrook-Ikhine (TEN) [+260]

WAS hasn't allowed many TD's to WR's, but Westbrook-Ikhine is a ball hawk.  He has found the endzone in 6 of the last 7 games.  

Harris (PIT) [+115]

Harris has scored 1+ TD's in his last 3 games vs. CIN.  CIN has allowed 15 rushing TD's in 11 weeks.

Receiving:

McBride (ARI) Over 5.5 receptions (-140)

McBride has 6+ receptions in his last 4 AWAY games.  MIN has allowed 6+ TE receptions to Kittle (7), Kraft (6), Conklin (6), Engram (6), and Kmet (7).  McBride is ARI's top receiver.

Rushing:

Conner (ARI) Under 46.5 rushing yds (-115)

Rushing vs. MIN is a tall task.  In 2021, Conner rushed for 26 yds on 8 attempts vs. MIN.  If the Vikings get another early lead, ARI may abandon the run game.  Since November, MIN has held RB's Under 50 yds:  J. Taylor (48 yds), Etienne (44 yds), Pollard (15 yds), Swift (30 yds).  In Conner's last two starts, he rushed for 33 yds (vs. NYJ) and 8 yds (@ SEA).

 Goalies understood the assignment.

Binnington is 9-2 to the UNDER 6.5 in his last 11 starts.

Kolosov is 4-1 to the UNDER 6.5 in his last 5 starts.

STL is 10-3 to the UNDER 6.5 in November.

PHI is 5-1 to the UNDER 6.5 in thier last 6 games.

The UNDER 6.5 is 5-0 in the last 5 of this series.

Pick:  PHI/STL Under 6.5

The last time Montembeault faced NYR after 3+ days rest, he allowed 4 goals in a 7-2 NYR rout on 10/22 in just 11:00 TOI.  His next most recent start vs. NYR on 2/15 was also a disaster, allowing 7 goals in a 7-4 NYR blowout.  Both starts before THAT ended in 4-3 scores, both teams splitting the results.

Jonathan Quick has allowed 3+ goals in his last 5 starts vs. MON.

Pick:  MON/NYR Over 6.5

"The Good:" CAL staying within double digits.  Pick:  CAL (+13.5)

CAL is 3-1 ATS as an underdog.  SMU is 2-4 ATS as a double-digit fave.  CAL has not lost by more than 8 points all season, including vs. #8 Miami and #22 Pitt.

"The Bad:" Defenses in Louisville/UK series. Pick:  LOU/UK Over 49

The OVER 49 is 8-1 in the last 9 of this series.  Those games included some bad versions of both of these teams over the years.  Louisville is allowing 27.4 pts/game on the road.  UK is 9-2 to the UNDER this season, but throw that out the window because they are starting a new QB in Cutter Boley to reinvigorate this offense.  Expect some trick plays for big gains.

"The Ugly:"  UTSA on the road.  Pick:  Army (-7)

UTSA has been outscored 210-109 on the road, with an 0-5 ATS record.  Army got embarrassed by Notre Dame and will be looking for a bounceback performance at HOME.  Army is 3-1-1 ATS at HOME.  Army won outright @UTSA last season as a +7.5 underdog.
