NHL Picks

The NHL is the least wagered on league of the major American sports in both volume per game and through the course of the season. And while that may not be good for the business of sports betting advice, it is good for you, the bettor. You see, the less a game is bet the fewer opinions go into the line, the less accurate it will be, and the less the line is likely to change from the NHL opener. It's the same reason why hockey has lower limits when compared to say, basketball, football and even baseball. The hockey line has not been beaten and battered into shape. The sportsbooks don't make as much money on NHL betting because the volume is low. It's actually very possible the house will lose money on many games in a night, unlike NBA betting where it is nearly impossible to not be profitable if the sportsbook is booking for balanced action. But, sportsbooks have to offer NHL. They can't skip one of the big North American leagues. Canada may invade Vegas! But, that means opportunity for Doc's Sports to attack these raw lines and give you winning NHL plays!

Free NHL Picks and Expert Predictions

You can find Free NHL picks throughout the Doc's Sports network including this free NHL predictions page; on our Doc's NHL Experts page; and on the Youtube channels of our expert NHL handicappers.

Get your NHL Picks Today, and Everyday!

Doc's offers expert NHL picks today and every day of the hockey season! There are indeed nights when hockey isn't the most exciting thing on. In fact, there are many games that aren't televised nationally. That is a huge advantage for puckheads who are either at the game, have people at the game reporting back, or are viewing them on a league pass stream. To put it bluntly, the less interesting a game is to the general public the more interesting the lines are to NHL handicappers at Doc Sports. At Doc's we know don't give out a hockey pick because some of our bettors are hockey fans. We give out hockey picks because we need to make our clients money, and the NHL is one of the most lucrative sports to build your bankroll. So even if you don't like watching the NHL do yourself and your bankroll a favor and start betting it with help of Doc's NHL experts on your side today.

Free NHL Money Line & Puck Line Picks

Unlike football, most NHL bettors are not going to make their hockey picks against the spread. There is indeed opportunity to bet the puck line and gain an advantage but we will primarily be betting teams to win straight up, also known as the money line.

As with all moneylines, Sportsbooks give each NHL team a return-on-investment payout. That means if you risk $100 on an underdog you may see your NHL selection return a much larger $165. Of course that also means that betting on a heavy hockey favorite, will bring a much smaller return than what you risked. So at Doc's we have to look at each play and ask ourselves, If we make this hockey bet 100 times, do we expect to come out well ahead? Many 'pro' NHL handicappers try to find that one pick on a marquee game that people will buy into. If they can find a play on teams from big cities, the audience will be bigger. That is selling out and not how you become a winning NHL bettor long term! If a Doc's handicapper has reason to believe Tampa Bay is more than at least one goal better, our free NHL pick against the puck line would be to take Tampa Bay -1.5 +150. This is how all bets on the spread AKA puck line work. But again, at Doc's the majority of our NHL selections are against the moneyline on games with odds never higher than -150 with our top plays. However, there can also be outstanding value on betting NHL totals.

NHL Total Predictions

The pace of the game, as well as which games have unique matchups, is a key factor when handicapping hockey games. When pace and matchup formation is an especially strong signal, it may dictate a pick on the over/under. An NHL over/under pick is another way of referring to a prediction on an NHL game goal total. NHL total lines are usually between 5 and 6.5 goals. This means there are many pushes AKA ties with NHL total bets. The way to win betting NHL totals is by getting these picks in at the best possible price. Similar to the run line each of the over and under have a varying price depending on the odds of each occurring. You can also almost always anticipate the empty net goal since teams will pull their goalie the final two minutes of the game when they are down 1 or 2 goals which benefits the over in certain situations. Also when teams are tied late in the game they start playing for the OT point so you can expect them not to take too many chances which could also affect the total in close games. At Doc's we provide NHL expert picks intended to capitalize on where there is a pricing advantage. We also provide free hockey total selections that are intended to help bettors with their hockey handicapping legwork.

NHL Parlay Picks

Parlay picks are considered degenerate bets usually placed by football fans. Parlaying NBA games often is a sucker bet and done without getting good prices or the best of key numbers. Hockey parlays are perhaps the easiest to gain an advantage. It is up there with baseball and may even be better in terms of capitalizing on good picks but more importantly, good pricing. Let's say you firmly believe a matchup is going to go a certain way. The game is not going to play out as the public expects because of the way a goalie handles this teams scoring threats! You can parlay the under and the underdog based on the perceived value. More importantly, if your sportsbook has a great price on the puck line as well as the total, or even a puck line price on another game, the payout can make this type of play advantageous over the long term. At Doc's our experts will offer a free hockey parlay pick in rare cases. It is not common because we need to find value for our customers on both lines before these markets change.

NHL Playoff Predictions

Once the regular season is over the NHL tends to pick up a lot of square action especially in large markets. Playoff hockey is all about how hot the goalies are since one hot goal tender can win a series for a mediocre team and this happens every single year so make sure you study up on the goalies. The fans often drive the prices as their teams take part in the playoffs. Bettors have much more time to make their NHL playoff picks as teams travel to each other's arenas and rest between series. Making successful Hockey playoff predictions is as much about when you bet as it is who you bet on. A series might not start for days. That means an NHL moneyline will move especially as the public bets closer to the action. If we see value in a playoff prediction it will rely heavily on getting the line we are quoting in our NHL pick. Getting the best price on your hockey picks versus the average price is the difference between having to hit 60% to earn or being profitable hitting as low as 50%. At Doc's we help you win, and win by betting smart.

What Makes a Best Bet in College Basketball? [Updated during the season]

Here you will find a list of tips from our college basketball experts that will help you understand what makes up a NCAA basketball best bet and what you should be looking for in order to spot one on your own.

DOC'S SPORTS – I like to play on up-tempo teams at home. An example of this would be the Marshall Thundering Herd the last couple of years under Coach Don D'Antoni, the brother on NBA Coach Mike D'Antoni. His run-and-gun style is much more effective at home and numerous times over the last couple of years we have found great value with them. It seems like at some point in the game they will feed off the crowd energy and go on a double-digit run and put the game away against a lesser opponent. Playing on the road is a much different atmosphere and many of these up-tempo teams are not as effective so I look to avoid them.

ROBERT FERRINGO – One of the reasons that I love college basketball and have had so much success in this sport over the past decade is that there are so many angles to play. There are letdowns and look aheads. There are revenge games. There are under-the-radar injuries. There are games involving odd travel schedules. But for a best bet there are several things that I really hone in on. And here is one of them: take experience and cohesion over talent. If I am looking at a best bet I would rather have a less talented team that has seniors, veterans, and guys that have played together for a while against a team that maybe has more overall talent, but it's young and inexperienced talent. Last year my nonconference games of the year was Oklahoma State over Connecticut in Maui. Connecticut was looking at starting three freshmen against a Cowboys team that was hungry, and veteran laden. It was a blowout from start to finish. I used the same angle on Dec. 4 when I took Gonzaga – which was one of the oldest and most experienced teams in the country – over Arizona, another team whose best players were freshmen. Basketball is a game of chemistry and coordination. Veteran teams and players are a little more predictable in their efforts. And they tend to be a big more reliable in marquee games against younger, more hyped-up opponents.

RAPHAEL ESPARZA – I said a couple years ago that handicapping small conference schools means big money in the wallet. Just like in college football, you want to look at the small schools. It's no secret that in college basketball home-court advantage is huge, especially early in conference play. But lack of action on those smaller schools can give you outstanding betting value and if you are a totals better like myself then betting totals in smaller conference is a big moneymaker. Bettors always tend to bet the TV games and smaller conferences don't always get televised. The best times to bet the smaller schools are on Wednesdays and Saturdays because those are the bigger days in college basketball, and trust me the oddsmakers are looking at the 'key games', not the smaller schools, so soft action can produce big winners.

STRIKE POINT SPORTS – Conference schedules can seem like a big portion of the year, but a lot of hidden value is lost amongst the weekly shuffle of so many games. Bet on teams looking to avoid or capitalize on half-week sweeps. For instance, with the Pac 12 you'll have a team like Arizona play both its road games in a region over the long weekend. They will play Thursday at Oregon State and Saturday at Oregon. If they lose that first game, getting on them to avoid the 'sweep' in the second game can offer value. The same goes with momentum. A middle of the road team like Virginia Tech coming off a big home win against Duke earlier in the week and having the chance to finish the week with another big win at home (say against Notre Dame) can be a good spot. Momentum is key, and looking for the hidden value in a given week from back-to-back games is a good trend to identify.

INDIAN COWBOY – College Basketball might be the sport that has the greatest value in any given season. There are just so many games and many smaller teams have incredible value on them, as the oddsmakers simply do not have time to focus on them when so much action is the bigger conference games. In the opening two games last year for we took two 'Overs'. They were 'Over' 149 Tennessee vs. Chattanooga and 'Over' 149 Wofford vs. LSU. They were both winners. What we are looking for there is mid-major teams who step up to play bigger schools who have senior leadership. In those two contests, you had a Chattanooga team who had tons of veteran leadership going into Tennessee and gave them a great ballgame and ended up winning outright by a score of 82-69. Hence, we predicted an active underdog because Chattanooga will undoubtedly get up to face a big named school like Tennessee with such veteran leadership and Tennessee would still have to get their kinks worked out with so many moving parts in their system. We also took the 'Over' in the Wofford-LSU game for the same reason. So, look for mid-major teams who have senior leadership, who have been looking forward to face certain big named teams all year, working on their game plans accordingly and will push the Power-5 team to more of an offensive performance.

What Nba Games Should I Bet On Tonight

ALLEN EASTMAN – The two things that I look for in college basketball are turnovers and points in the paint. You need to score to win. So if teams have a high turnover percentage that means that they are at a disadvantage in overall possession. And that usually means an advantage betting against the spread. When I have a team that turns the ball over a lot facing a team that scores a lot of points in the paint, meaning they get a lot of easy baskets, I like to go with the top play because the team that scores a lot in the paint will be able to best take advantage of all the turnovers.

JASON SHARPE – College basketball best bets for me involve taking advantage of the hundreds of teams that one can bet. With so many teams in college it's nearly impossible for the bookmakers to keep a handle on all of them. So I will usually focus my efforts on the areas that the books don't and that's in the smaller leagues like the Ohio Valley Conference or the Big Sky. Spending most of my time and energy on studying up and following these teams closely gives me a tremendous edge. I had a big 7-Unit totals winner last January involving the 'under' between Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee State. I had noticed that TSU had started playing a much bigger player a lot more minutes of late and he had considerably helped their team defense overall. On the other side of things EKU had lost it's top scorer a few games earlier and without him they had started playing a lot slower paced and were scoring less points. These things weren't easy for the books to notice unless they were paying extra close attention to these two teams which they won't be doing. I was able to use that valuable information to make and easily win a 7 unit 'under' selection.

ALAN HARRIS – It's not uncommon, especially in the nonconference season to see point spreads in the double digits and sometimes into the 20's and even 30's. Some handicappers will throw these games out. But a closer look at the game could show some value, whether it's on the favorite or the underdog. When looking at the favorite, ask yourself, 'does this line make sense?' There are times that a big number is warranted. It could be due to injury, scheduling, talent level, other factors or any combination of things. We had a spot like this last year where BYU was laying 16 points in a neutral site game in Vegas. We immediately jumped on the Cougars after knowing that they had a much more talented roster than St. Louis. We also factored in that this was going to be like a home game for BYU as they always travel well to Vegas. The Cougars led by seven at the half before pulling away for a 30-point victory. One of the things to look at when you see an underdog you like is to see what the favorite has going on with their schedule. Check and see if they have a big game up next as they will be looking ahead and not really playing up to their ability against the lesser team.

VERNON CROY – When it comes to making a big play in college basketball I use my systems, trends, stats and strength of schedule to my advantage. I also look for certain situations where I have a team winning by 10+ points and yet the line is off by at least six or more points. This process starts well before the season starts as I study and make note of certain under the radar teams that shoot the ball extremely well, play good defensively, and have a quality coach. Since there are so many college basketball games being played every week it is not hard to find games where the line is off by six or more points. In the NBA I find extreme value with certain teams in the next game after their star player goes down to injury, however it is the complete opposite in college basketball since most teams are not good enough to step up in the absence of their star player.

DOUG UPSTONE – When it comes to best bets in college basketball, I go strictly by the numbers. It starts with shooting percentages, both offense and defense, and 3-point percentages are viewed separately. Next, I look for elements regarding large differentials between the teams in things like rebounding, turnovers, free-throw shooting and pace of play. The latter two are meaningful depending on close spreads and variance between fast or slow playing opponents. Then I move too situational handicapping and look at how have teams performed in their last five games, being home or away, and whom they played (tougher or easier foes.) Next is possible motivation and coaching. I weigh all these components, then look for useful trends that could match the situation and low and behold have a possible 6-unit or higher best bet!

TONY GEORGE – This college basketball tip refers to March Madness and the NIT Tournaments. There are numerous teams in the NIT every year that you can argue should have made it to the Big Dance field of 64. If you look closely at the schedule of those teams you will no doubt see a horrific road record, which is what kept them out. The NIT tournament, until it reaches New York for the Final Four, is not on neutral floors and teams have home games. In many cases a team with a bad road record plays a team in the same boat. However that team is at home where they went 13-2 on the year. I always look for bad road teams against good home teams in the NIT and if the price is right they are worth fading in that game no matter who they are.

SCOTT SPREITZER - Returning point-guards, assists-to-turnover ratios, and points in the paint are three of six key categories I use when handicapping college basketball. And the best thing about those keys is that they work in both nonconference action and when conference play begins later in the season. Add in our sought-after power ratings system, and we have enjoyed betting college basketball longer than any sport we wager on, going back nearly 30 years. It also may be the sport that offers more depth of value than any other, thanks to the volume of games and the smaller conferences where we the bettor can gain the advantage over the books. I've been a huge proponent of wagering on the Missouri Valley for 20+ years, and there's nothing better than finding value, week-after-week, on under the radar tilts.
