Winnipeg Jets vs Nashville Predators Betting Pick & Prediction 11/23/24

The last time we heard anything about the Duke Blue Devils, Mike Krzyzewski was making statements about how the season shouldn’t be played. That was immediately following an ugly loss at home to Illinois that prompted the bold call to end non-conference play.

We’re not sure what Duke will do without that tune-up game against Gardner-Webb, but the Blue Devils will be back on the floor to begin ACC play with a matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Despite Duke’s litany of problems, they are still -3.5 with extra juice at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline</strong> </a>with a total of 146. Most of the market sits on -4 and BOL will likely get back to that number soon.

Let’s see what this game holds with a breakdown and a suggested pick.
<h3><strong><u>Duke Blue Devils</u></strong></h3>
Cameron Indoor Stadium was a lot less crazy for Duke’s big non-conference games against Illinois and Michigan State. Both games went in the loss column. Now Duke, who hasn’t played in eight days, will try and right the ship against Notre Dame in the ACC lid lifter for both teams.

Dule beat Coppin State by 10 to open the season, which should have been our first sign that there were problems. The loss to Michigan State was followed by a win over Bellarmine by 22 when the Blue Devils looked more like the team we would expect. Then the Illinois game happened and Coach K wanted to pack up his ball and go home.

This isn’t to make light of the COVID-19 pandemic or the strain put on the players and coaches that are trying to do all of the right things. It is just hard to cry wolf when your team has faltered in its two biggest games while not missing any key players to the illness.

Maybe Coach K was trying to play Papa Bear to the six freshman that get big minutes for him. That number will be five now because Jalen Johnson is out indefinitely. That means that sophomore Matthew Hurt and senior Jordan Goldwire will need to play better. That means that sophomore Wendell Moore Jr. will have to live up to his star rating from the class of 2020. That means that Duke needs to figure things out and do so in a hurry.

The cold, harsh reality is that Duke simply hasn’t played well enough. Duke combined to shoot 10-of-45 from three-point range in the two losses against legitimate competition and 22-of-53 in the two games against bottom-50 teams. The Blue Devils have turned the ball over too much and the shot selection has been poor.

Maybe a few extra days of practice will have helped.
<h3><strong><u>Notre Dame Fighting Irish</u></strong></h3>
The Fighting Irish have been tested early in the season. Losses to Michigan State and Ohio State are certainly understandable. The most recent win over Kentucky could be a springboard into this game against a similarly struggling powerhouse program.

Longtime head coach Mike Brey has to be pleased with what he’s seen offensively from his team. The Fighting Irish are shooting 41.6% from distance and 80% at the free throw line. On the other hand, they’ve been blocked almost as much as anybody else in the country and have not made more than 19 two-point shots in any game thus far.

Defensively, Notre Dame is not forcing turnovers. Their 13.6% TO% ranks 315th in the nation at present per Bart Torvik. Some extra possessions would help, especially for a defense that is decent, but nowhere near spectacular. The last two games for Notre Dame have been played to 67 and 66 possessions, so it seems like they’re making a concerted effort to slow down, possibly back to where they were a few seasons ago.

Some of that may have to do with a really shallow roster. A quartet of juniors in Nate Laszewski, Prentiss Hubb, Dane Goodwin, and Cormac Ryan play a ton and senior Juwan Durham makes up the bulk of the rest of the minutes. Those four juniors individually have all played at least 90.6% of the minutes this season for the Fighting Irish. In other words, they better not get into any foul trouble as the season goes along.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
Is this price low because of the optics surrounding Duke? Maybe Coach K’s concerns were legitimate and weren’t said out of frustration about his team, but they’ve been interpreted as such, not just by bettors, but by fellow coaches.

You could make a strong case that Duke is clearly a better team, but continuity is a bit of an issue and now Johnson is out. Notre Dame, while short on depth, relies on five upperclassmen and a sixth off the bench.

This will be the first trip away from Durham for Duke. Between Krzyzewski’s comments and all of the freshmen on the roster, this could just end up being an uncomfortable trip.

Notre Dame +3.5 is the pick based on the BOL odds, but you can find +4 or wait on it to show up again.
<h4><strong>Pick: Notre Dame +3.5</strong></h4>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<p>All 30 MLB teams will be involved in an action-packed Tuesday, August 30, and one of the most interesting games is this divisional battle, so make sure you get the best Royals vs. White Sox betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Kansas City and Chicago will open a three-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field, and the White Sox are -156 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 8 runs. These AL Central foes have faced 16 times this season, and the Royals currently lead the season series 9-7.</p>



<p><strong>Royals’ offense erupted in a win over the Padres</strong></p>



<p>The Kansas City Royals lost the first two games of the home series against the San Diego Padres before exploding for a season-high 15 runs in a 15-7 Game 3 victory. It was the Royals’ best offensive display of the campaign as they tormented Sean Manaea in the opening inning, scoring five runs in the first frame.</p>



<p>Kansas City recorded 18 hits, but interestingly, the hosts blasted only two homers, which is strange considering they scored 15 runs. Michael A. Taylor led the way with four RBIs, Nick Pratto followed him with three, while Salvador Perez and Drew Waters chipped in two RBIs apiece. Jonathan Heasley (2-7) got a win after allowing three runs on four hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over 5.0 innings.</p>



<p>Brady Singer will be on the mound for the 19th time this year when he takes on Chicago on Tuesday. The 26-year-old righty owns a strong 3.15 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 120/29 K/BB ratio in 117.0 innings.</p>



<p><strong>White Sox are going down</strong></p>



<p>The Chicago White Sox are more and more away from a wildcard spot, let alone the divisional title after losing nine of the previous 11 games. They were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks at home and are on a four-game losing streak, so this series against the Royals and the next against Minnesota in Chicago are crucial for the White Sox’s postseason chances.</p>



<p>The White Sox had a 2-1 lead until the 8th inning against the D-Backs in Game 3 of the series, but Arizona tied and then scored a winning run off of closer Kendall Graveman, who now dropped to a 3-3 record. Chicago had only one player with a multi-hit game, and it was Elvis Andrus. Starter Dylan Cease (12-6) posted another quality start after surrendering two runs on two hits with eight strikeouts and a walk.</p>



<p>Lucas Giolito will start for the 24th time this season when he faces the Royals on Tuesday. The 28-year-old righty has a disappointing 5.14 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 135/46 K/BB ratio across 122.2 innings of work. Still, he managed to record four wins in five starts so far in August.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Kansas City:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-9 in the last 13 overall</li><li>2-9 in the last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter</li><li>0-5 in the last five games following a win</li></ul>



<p><strong>Chicago:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-3 in the last ten home games vs. a right-handed starter</li><li>5-2 in the last seven Tuesday games</li></ul>



<p><strong>Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox Odds Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Royals are without back-to-back wins in the last 20 days, and guess what, the last time they won two in a row was against the White Sox. Singer has been excellent against the White Sox this season with a 2.01 ERA in 22.1 innings. Giolito wasn’t bad in his two starts against Kansas City with a 3.60 ERA over 10.0 innings. There are no secrets between the two divisional rivals, and it’s going to be a close one, but I am going with the hosts, who still have some chance of getting to the postseason.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the White Sox to win (-156)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>Both teams are batting better against southpaws, while they combine for under 8 runs per nine innings against right-handers. Singer allowed more than two earned runs only once in the last eight starts, while Giolito bounced back in his previous start and I expect him to have another solid outing on Tuesday. Under is 4-0 in Singers’ last four starts vs. American League Central opponents, Under is 20-8-1 in the previous 29 H2H meetings, while Under is 11-4-1 in the last 16 H2H duels in Chicago.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 8.5 runs at -120</p>

Maybe this bowl game will be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! It has to be, right? The “Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl”? How could that game not be great? We’ll see if this game lives up to its sponsor’s catchphrase as the Florida State Seminoles and the Arizona State Sun Devils square off in El Paso, TX in the second kickoff on December 31 at 2:30 p.m. ET. Arizona State is a 4.5-point favorite with a total of 54 that has come down from 56.

Motivation really means a lot in bowl season, as you know. It is fair to wonder about Florida State’s once again. That was the case in 2017 when Odell Haggins was the interim head coach for the Independence Bowl against Southern Miss. Florida State had to reschedule a postponed game against UL Monroe just to get to six wins and keep the program’s bowl streak alive. Jimbo Fisher left for Texas A&amp;M and Haggins, the popular defensive line coach, got his crack as the interim. Florida State won going away 42-13 as a 12-point favorite.

New Florida State head coach Mike Norvell has already announced that Haggins, who is a great recruiter and a tremendous motivator, will stay on the staff. Many people really hoped that Willie Taggart, who had excellent recruiting ties, would work out in Tallahassee, but he didn’t. The Seminoles are fortunate to be in a bowl game this season. Norvell’s early meetings with the team have drawn rave reviews.

However, changes are coming. Norvell runs a different kind of offense and will orchestrate a different kind of defensive scheme. Taggart was in place before the Independence Bowl win and Norvell is firmly entrenched before this Sun Bowl appearance. It sure seems like teams are going to be more motivated when the new head coach is in place, but a lot of times, we really are just guessing when it comes to motivation. It cannot be quantified and once those kids get between the lines, instinct takes over.

In fact, if we’re being honest, the transition and turnover at Arizona State might be worse at this point. Head coach Herm Edwards has done an excellent job in Tempe and has gotten the benefit of the doubt. Offensive changes are taking place. Offensive coordinator Rob Likens was relieved of his duties as QB coach and OC. Position coaches Charlie Fisher and Donnie Yantis are not being retained.

There are some whispers that former Browns head coach Hue Jackson would be brought in to run the offense. Prentice Gill, an assistant at USC and Oregon, is going to be added to the staff. You have to wonder about the prep going on for Florida State right now. Arizona State seems committed to figuring things out with its coaching staff and with its 2020 class of recruits. Is there time in between for bowl prep? There didn’t seem to be much when Arizona State got dominated by Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl. The game was not as close as the score would suggest.

Arizona State was 62nd in yards per play on offense during the season with 5.86. In fairness to the Sun Devils, QB Jayden Daniels was hurt off and on throughout the season. The Sun Devils were better in conference with 5.92 YPP than they were out of conference with 5.67. Not much will change schematically, but a lot could change in terms of production.

Of course, Arizona State will be missing the two best players in its offense. Senior WR Brandon Aiyuk had 65 catches for 1,192 yards and Benjamin is far and away the leading rusher with 1,083 yards on 253 attempts. Arizona State only managed 3.6 yards per carry and Eno Benjamin was far and away the team's leading rusher, though it came the hard way with 4.3 yards per pop and a long of just 33 yards. Big plays in the passing game saved Arizona State this season. They won't have Aiyuk and they won't have Benjamin, who are both going to the NFL Draft.

With the talent in Tallahassee, the Seminoles should not finish 66th in the nation in yards per play, especially with how the ACC has fallen off in recent years. The Seminoles even padded their numbers in the non-conference with 6.45 yards per play and then just 5.55 YPP against ACC foes. In the six games against FBS teams with a winning record, Florida State managed just 5.5 YPP and won't have Cam Akers in the bowl game.

Florida State wasn’t good enough defensively either with 5.37 YPP allowed. Neither was Arizona State with 5.48 YPP against, but that was an upgrade from last season’s 5.71 YPP allowed. Defensive coordinator Billy Gonzales has done a solid job and the hallmarks of his time at San Diego State do make ASU’s defense tough to scout with a short turnaround. This turnaround is quite a bit longer, which could help the Florida State staff.

Even with one point of HFA for Arizona State for the shorter travel and a lot more familiarity with elevation, my line is only Sun Devils -3 in this game. With the line sitting there at 4.5, it will be Florida State for me. I also wonder about Arizona State’s preparation and interest level in this game. For Florida State, it is another chance to get a win for Haggins and salvage something from the last two frustrating seasons before Norvell fully takes the reins. For Arizona State, it seems like more focus is on the future.

<strong>Pick: Florida State +4.5</strong>

<strong>Lean: Under 54</strong>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-edmonton-oilers-looking-to-bounce-back"><a></a>Edmonton Oilers Looking to Bounce Back</h2>



<p>Edmonton visited Vegas for the first game of this second round series and it was thrilling game that saw 10 combined goals. The Oilers are all gas, no brakes, and that is the main reason they suffered a 6-4 defeat.</p>



<p>In the game one defeat, the Oilers got on the board early in the first, but the Golden Knights tied it up just 40 seconds after. Vegas followed that up with two more goals before the Oilers scored another and it was 3-2 Vegas after one. There was no scoring in the second period, but the offense woke back up in the third. Edmonton tied the game up early in the third, at three, but the Golden Knights scored two more to make it 5-3 early in the third. The teams each scored one more goal in the game to get us to the final 6-4 score.</p>



<p>Leon Draisaitl had a big game one as he scored all four goals for the Oilers. Four Edmonton players each recorded two assists in the game one defeat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-vegas-golden-knights-love-the-home-crowd">The Vegas Golden Knights Love the Home Crowd</h2>



<p>Vegas will be happy with their game one performance and all they need to do is take care of business at home to get past the Oilers. The offense looked elite in game one, and the defense will get better, so the Golden Knights will be able to feel good about their chances.</p>



<p>Ivan Barbashev, two goals, was joined on the scoresheet by Chandler Stephenson, Mark Stone, Michael Amadio, and Jack Eichel. Eight different Vegas players recorded an assists in the game one victory.</p>
