Why These Picks?
TB Lightning v TOR Maple Leafs: The last 5 straight meetings between these two teams have cashed the Over, friends. That’s an overwhelming statistic – and a trend that I imagine continues tonight based on how Toronto’s offense has looked lately. The Maple Leafs have scored 18 goals in their last 4 outings, and with Tampa averaging 3.36 goals per game this season, I don’t doubt this will be a high-scoring affair. Take the Over to hit.
PHX Suns v MIN Timberwolves: The Suns just have too many injuries going into this game for me to like them to cover (and on the road, no less). In addition, the one component of their starting 5 that keeps me interested (Dillon Brooks) is now listed as Questionable to play this evening. Minnesota is just too dominant at home for me to entertain a Phoenix cover in their current state – I’m on the Timberwolves to bag a comfortable victory.
PHI Eagles v LA Chargers: I don’t love the way either of these offenses have looked, but this game should fly Over 41.5 in my opinion. The Chargers have put at least 25 points on the board in 4 of their last 5 games, and I don’t like either team’s defense enough right now to think either squad will hold the other to less than 20 points. To boot, I imagine the Eagles will be hellbent on bagging a victory after back-to-back losses (…to the Cowboys and the Bears). I’m on the Over to hit here.
