Wednesday NHL Best Bet, Tuesday Recaps
Tuesday was another day of mixing business and pleasure as we moved closer to Super Bowl Sunday.
The Super Bowl point spread remained a consensus of Eagles -1.5 over the Chiefs but continued to trend slightly upward as Station Casinos joined South Point and Treasure Island at Eagles -2 with the Golden Nugget going to Eagles -1.5 -115. The Over/Under also remained at 51 at the majority of Vegas sportsbooks with BetMGM and Resorts World holding the line at 50.5. Speaking of line moves, I also helped South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews post his “Inside the betting action” column at VSiN.com, so that’s part of our comprehensive coverage of Super Bowl LVII on the website along with Brent Musburger’s interview with legendary sports bettor Billy Walters. Also check out the VSiN Help Desk or submit your own question in addition to listening/watching to our broadcasts, including those coming from “Radio Row” at the Super Bowl.
As for our own bets, we lost Tuesday’s top play on the Sharks-Lightning 1P Over 1.5 -145/Ducks-Blackhawks 1P Over 1.5 -150 parlay as Sharks-Lightning flew Over with 4 goals in the first 20 minutes but the usually reliable Ducks came up short for the 2nd day in a row as their first period was scoreless.
Let’s recap the rest of Tuesday’s (full-game) action, and look for a better Best Bet on Wednesday. Then, as has been our custom here, we’ll rerun our NFL “takes” column from Wednesday with our early Super Bowl bets including some related props.
