NHL Betting – Saturday Hockey Picks
Sportsbook employees have extremely busy weekends ahead, don’t they? We’ve got the Pacquiao Cotto odds, UFC 105, the NBA, the NFL…and that still leaves the NHL! Let’s make some hockey picks for Saturday night.
Washington Capitals @ New Jersey Devils
Saturday, November 14, 7:00 p.m. ET
Think bringing Jacques Lemaire back to New Jersey was a good idea? Sheesh. 9-0 on the road? Check. NHL-low 2.03 goals against average? Check. Seven straight wins? Check. Wins in 10 of 11? Check. Lemaire has the Devils looking like their dominant selves of 10 years ago.
The Capitals have won three straight games even though Alex Ovechkin is watching from the press box due to an upper-body injury. They’re getting offensive contributions from Mike Green and the likes of Tomas Fleischmann, who has stepped up his play in Ovie’s absence. The problem is that the Caps’ three consecutive victories came against Islanders and Panthers twice. Those aren’t exactly challenging opponents. Battling the league’s hottest team is a tough task. Since the Devils are so superb defensively, the Caps will feel the Ovechkin void more than normal. Pick the Devils.
Pick: Devils
Saturday, November 14,
Did anyone see the Sabres coming this year? Most of us thought they’d trend the way of
The Flyers, riding a five-game win streak, are a brutal matchup for the Sabres. Power forwards like Jeff Carter and Scott Hartnell make the Flyers bruising on the forecheck; Chris Pronger and Braydon Coburn are physical blueline presences.

The world’s best sports handicappers continue to dominate the bookmakers thanks to the preponderance of information. Extremely high on that list is champion handicapper Matt Rivers, who is widely accepted as the top college sports handicapper: basketball and football. The all-time leader in money won on a large network of websites, he is now part of The Show at OffshoreInsiders.com
He is taking the Knicks -1 (according to Bodog) hosting
The New York Knicks are a complete abomination. Mike D’Antoni’s squad is all about 2010 and the culture is atrocious right now. The players don’t seem to care and the attitude is horrific. But with that said there is still some talent on the team and they are going to win some games. Today is a very very winnable game.
David Lee, Al Harrington, Chris Duhon, Danillo Galinari, Wilson Chandler and the Knicks do have an upside. They are just so psychologically frail because of the situation that they have underachieved out of the gate to this 1-8 star SU and 2-7 ATSt. But there are going to be some wins in their future and this is definitely one of those spots.
If the New Yorkers were playing even just bad basketball they would be a solid dozen point favorite here because of the fatcs that they are at home and up against the weak team they are up against. But the dreadful start has created a solid enough value here and a small play on the Knicks.
Who knows, maybe even little man Nate Robinson will return tonight and spark the club a bit.
