<p>We have ten games on the NBA schedule for Thursday, March 24, and we will cover an intriguing inter-conference tilt, so make sure you read the best Stars vs. Hurricanes betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>These inter-conference rivals have met once this season, and Dallas won that game 4-1 at home. Carolina will be looking to tie the series and is a massive favorite to do so at PNC Arena.</p>



<p><a></a>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>, the Hurricanes are -195 moneyline favorites with the total being set at 6 goals.</p>



<h2>Dallas is keeping the No. 8 seed in the West</h2>



<p>The Dallas Stars defeated the Washington Capitals and Edmonton Oilers to stay in the 8th position in the Western Conference. They returned from a four-game road trip on which the Stars got a couple of wins, and beat Edmonton at home. This game against Carolina will be the first of five road games Dallas is going to play over the next six fixtures.</p>



<p>The Stars trailed twice in a 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers and entered the final six minutes of the game with a 3-2 deficit. However, Dallas’ offense exploded for three unanswered goals late on and deservedly secured a victory. Several players recorded two points, but the star of the game was Tyler Seguin who was involved in the last two and deserved a top performer award.</p>



<p>Jake Oettinger will start at the goal against the Canes on Thursday. The 24-year-old goaltender has a 22-10-0-1 record this season with a 2.49 GAA and a .917 save percentage with one shutout. The Stars are allowing 2.95 goals per game (15th in the NHL) and are scoring 2.92 on the other end (19th) on a 9.5 shooting percentage (17th).</p>



<h2>Carolina returned to winning ways</h2>



<p>The Carolina Hurricanes experienced their worst period of the season as they suffered four consecutive defeats, including a shutout loss to the Rangers. Still, the canes avoided the fifth loss in a row with a 3-2 home win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Carolina is 2nd in the West with 90 points, the same as Florida, but the Panthers have a game in hand.</p>



<p>The Hurricanes were so eager to snap a four-game losing streak that they attacked the Lightning from the very start. The hosts attempted 41 shots, 20 of which were in the second period. Forward Seth Jarvis was a creative force on offense as he recorded a pair of assists, while two of Carolina’s three goals came in power-play.</p>



<p>For the third game in a row, Frederik Andersen will start at the goal, this time around against the Stars on Wednesday. The 33-year old goaltender has a 31-10-2-0 record this season with a 2.06 GAA and a .928 save percentage with three shutouts. The Hurricanes allow 2.37 goals per game (1st in the NHL) and score 3.25 a night (11th) on a 9.6 shooting percentage (14th).</p>



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



<p><strong>Dallas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-6 in the last nine games against Carolina</li><li>4-10 in the last 14 games as a road underdog</li></ul>



<p><strong>Carolina:</strong></p>



<ul><li>9-1 in the last ten games against an opponent in the Western Conference</li><li>25-8 in the last 33 vs. Central Division opponents</li><li>15-4 in the last 19 games playing on one day rest</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-dallas-stars-vs-carolina-hurricanes-pick">Dallas Stars vs. Carolina Hurricanes Pick</h2>



<p>Carolina is one of the best home teams this season; only Florida and Colorado have better records at home ice. The Canes lost to the Stars 4-1 in the opening game of the series and I am pretty sure they will have that in mind on Thursday.</p>



<p>Following this game, the Canes have three tough road clashes with St. Louis, Washington, and Tampa Bay, so they will have an imperative to beat Dallas here. I think they are a stronger team and that they will get a W.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Carolina Hurricanes at -195</p>



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



<p>Carolina is not the perfect team for the Over bettors as the Canes have a 27-33-3 O/U overall and 12-19-1 O/U home records. It’s a similar situation with Dallas and given we have two solid goaltenders in this game, I don’t expect to see a lot of goals.</p>



<p>The total has gone Under in eight of Carolina's last ten games, while the total went Under in eight of the Canes’ previous nine games at home. Also, the total has gone Under in five of Dallas' last six games when playing on the road against Carolina.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 6 goals at -130</p>

Lehigh Mountain Hawks vs UCLA Bruins NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/15/24

<p>The first day of October brings three exciting games around the country, including the non-conference clash between the No. 13 BYU Cougars and Utah State Aggies, so we’ve prepared the best college football betting pick and odds for Friday night.</p>



<p>BYU meets Utah State for the first time since 2019 when the Cougars trashed off the Aggies as 3-point road underdogs, 42-14. The visitors are listed as 9-point road favorites for Friday’s game in Logan, Utah, while the totals sit at 61.5 points on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>The Cougars hit the road for the first time since Week 1      </strong></h2>



<p>The BYU Cougars (4-0; 2-2 ATS) kicked off the 2021 CFB season with a 24-16 victory over Arizona at the neutral site. Over the last three weeks, they’ve played at home, recording three wins to Utah 26-17, No. 19 Arizona State 27-17, and South Florida 35-27.</p>



<p>Last Saturday, the Cougars nearly blew a 22-point lead, allowing USF to score three touchdowns in the second half. Their backup QB Baylor Romney tossed for 305 yards and three touchdowns, while sophomore RB Taylor Allgeier had 15 carries for 86 yards and a couple of scores.</p>



<p>Sophomore QB Jaren Hall sat out Week 4 due to an injury and is questionable to play Friday against the Aggies. Through the first three weeks, Hall has thrown for 561 yards, seven touchdowns, and a couple of interceptions. The Cougars are racking up 387.5 total yards per contest (76<sup>th</sup> in the country) while surrendering 388.0 in a return (77<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2><strong>The Aggies suffered a heavy loss in Week 4</strong></h2>



<p>The Utah State Aggies (3-1; 3-1 ATS) are coming off a 27-3 home loss to the Boise State Broncos this past Saturday. It was their first defeat in 2021, as the Aggies accounted for only three points on 443 total yards, struggling mightily against the Broncos’ defense that forced three turnovers.</p>



<p>Junior QB Logan Bonner went 11-of-25 for 173 yards and two interceptions. The Aggies had 42 carries for 235 yards, and it wasn’t enough for a few more points, as they were awful in the red zone. Now, the Aggies rank 57<sup>th</sup> in the nation in points scored per game (31.5) and 10<sup>th</sup> in total yards per contest (533.3).</p>



<p>On the other side of the ball, Utah State is yielding 29.8 points per game (tied-98<sup>th</sup>) on a whopping 463.3 total yards (121<sup>st</sup>). The Aggies’ run D ranks 112<sup>th</sup> in the country, yielding 199.8 rushing yards per game (5.2 per carry).</p>



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



<p><strong>BYU:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-12 ATS in the last 18 games against Utah State&nbsp;</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five outings in Week 5</li></ul>



<p><strong>Utah State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-2 ATS in the last six games overall</li><li>9-1 ATS in the last ten outings in Week 5&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-byu-vs-utah-state-pick"><strong>BYU vs. Utah State Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Cougars are certainly a better team than Utah State, especially on the defensive end. However, they are banged up and could miss their starting QB, though a couple of offensive linemen will return Friday against the Aggies.</p>



<p>Utah State possesses enough offensive firepower to keep it close. The Aggies will be fired up to prove their worth following that heavy home loss in Week 4, and they’ll hopefully manage to slow down the Cougars’ offense that hasn’t impressed so far this season.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Utah State +10.0 at -138&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The under is 6-1 in BYU’s last seven games overall, and it is 5-3 in Utah State’s previous eight outings at any location. On the other hand, five of the previous six encounters between the Cougars and Aggies went in the over.</p>



<p>Five of those six H2H duels produced more than 61 points in total, so I’ll ride this betting trend Friday. Also, I’m expecting a bounce-back performance from the Aggies’ offense after a poor display in Week 4.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 61.5 points at -110</strong></p>
