Outliers exist in every sport. A team could play its best game and its worst game all in the same week. Or, in the case of the NHL Playoffs, all in the same series.

It sure seems like the Vegas Golden Knights played their absolute worst game to open up this best-of-seven series against the Colorado Avalanche. Since then, Vegas has been the better team and defended the fortress on Las Vegas Blvd. with wins in Games 3 and 4 to send the series back to Denver locked up at 2-2.

Game 5 is on Tuesday night and Colorado is a -145 favorite at <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/jazzsports/">Jazz Sports</a></strong> with a total of 5.5. This is a huge swing game, as the winner will have the chance to advance and face the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night when the series goes back to Sin City.
<h2><strong><u>Vegas Golden Knights</u></strong></h2>
What Vegas has done in this series is nothing short of incredible. After that 7-1 beatdown in Game 1 when Robin Lehner faced an all-on assault from the Avalanche, things have stabilized for the Golden Knights. It hasn’t just been about Marc-Andre Fleury returning to the crease. It has been about matching Colorado’s speed. It has been about beating the Avalanche at their own.

It has been about the best players for the Golden Knights stepping up at the right time. There was a lot less drama in Game 5 as Vegas won from basically start to finish. Brandon Saad’s goal 1:50 into the first period set Vegas back, but the Knights returned the favor early in the second to take a 2-1 lead and never looked back. Jonathan Marchessault had a hat trick and Max Pacioretty and Patrick Brown also contributed goals.

Fleury only faced 18 shots in the win, as the Golden Knights dominated the game in all three zones. Colorado only managed 13 scoring chances to 27 for VGK. The Knights had 17 high-danger chances to just five for Colorado. The balance of power in this series has swung in a big way. In the two games in Vegas, the Knights had 32 high-danger chances to just nine for the Avs.

After getting badly outplayed and outscored in Game 1, Vegas has outshot Colorado 99-45 at 5-v-5, has outchanced the Avs 89-49, and has that big edge in high-danger chances. We’ll see if getting back home helps Colorado, but Vegas is on another level right now.
<h2><strong><u>Colorado Avalanche</u></strong></h2>
Jared Bednar’s plea for a better efforts from his best players did not work out. His impassioned press conference after Game 3 was not about anything other than his best players needing to step up. Vegas had a big edge of 3.76 to 1.09 in Expected Goals at 5-v-5 and really carried the play, even though a comeback was needed in the third period.

In Game 4, Colorado mustered very little offense again. The Expected Goals tally was 2.67 for Vegas to 1.22 for Colorado and the Avs have been held to 1.25 or lower at 5-v-5 in every game of this series, even the game that they won 7-1. That was just an ugly night for Lehner and the Golden Knights coming off of the Minnesota series.

Nathan MacKinnon was one of three players with three shots on goal for the Avs in Game 4. Mikko Rantanen had two and Gabriel Landeskog was held off the scoresheet altogether. MacKinnon had three high-danger chances himself in Game 4. The other players combined for only two. It really was a pathetic effort from Colorado all the way around, but you do have to give Vegas a lot of credit.

The Avs didn’t muster much in the form of offense, but Philipp Grubauer also had his first bad game of the playoffs by letting in five goals. We’ll have to see how he bounces back in Game 5. Grubauer allowed three high-danger goals and a couple of low-danger goals as well. It wasn’t his best effort and it wasn’t the team’s best effort to say the least.
<h2><strong><u>Golden Knights vs. Avalanche Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
How can we expect Colorado to flip the script here? Even Game 1 was pretty even at 5-v-5. Colorado had some power play goals and scored some weak goals on Robin Lehner, plus Vegas kind of let the game get out of hand to conserve energy. In the other three games, VGK has been the better team, including the Game 2 loss. It’s hard to justify Colorado at -145 here given what we’ve seen so far in this series. Whether Vegas wins or not, they seem like the better value bet.

<p>The 2021-22 college basketball season continues Thursday, February 3, 2022, with the Big Ten Conference showdown from Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio, so we have prepared the best Iowa vs. Ohio State betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Hawkeyes meet the Buckeyes for the first time this season. Iowa has won three of its previous five encounters with Ohio State, and according to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, the Hawkeyes are 5-point road underdogs for Thursday’s clash.</p>



<h2 id="iowa-hopes-to-snap-a-two-game-skid">Iowa hopes to snap a two-game skid   </h2>



<p>The Iowa Hawkeyes fell to 14-7 straight up and 12-9 ATS on the season following a tough 90-86 double-overtime defeat at the Penn State Nittany Lions this past Monday. Playing as 4.5-point road favorites, the Hawkeyes recorded their second straight loss and third in their previous four showings at any location.</p>



<p>Sophomore forward Keegan Murray continues to lead the way for the Hawkeyes. He’s been the team’s top scorer in each of Iowa’s last 11 contests. Murray had 21 points and six rebounds against the Nittany Lions, so he’s now averaging 22.3 points and 8.3 boards a night.</p>



<p>The Hawkeyes are No. 24 in the latest NCAA NET Rankings and No. 23 in the KenPom rankings. They sit at the ninth spot of the Big Ten standings with a 4-6 record in the conference play. The Hawkeyes score 117.5 points per 100 possessions (7<sup>th</sup> in the nation) and surrender 99.2 in a return (109<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2 id="ohio-state-just-stopped-its-win-streak">Ohio State just stopped its win streak    </h2>



<p>The Ohio State Buckeyes (13-5 SU; 9-9 ATS) are coming off a narrow 81-78 defeat at the No. 6 Purdue Boilermakers this past Sunday. They covered a 9-point spread thanks to a strong second-half performance but failed to extend their winning streak to four games.</p>



<p>Ohio State is now 6-3 in the conference play, sitting at the fifth spot of the Big Ten Conference table. The Buckeyes have gone 4-2 straight up and ATS over their previous four contests. They are No. 21 in the KenPom rankings and No. 19 in the latest NCAA NET Rankings.</p>



<p>Junior forward E.J. Liddell leads the charge for the Buckeyes, averaging 19.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while freshman guard Malaki Branham adds 10.6 points and 3.7 boards a night. Ohio State scores 117.1 points per 100 possessions (10<sup>th</sup> in the country) and yields 98.2 in a return (85<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Iowa:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games on the road</li><li>3-6 ATS in the last nine games against the Big Ten Conference&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Ohio State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-2 ATS in the last seven games at home</li><li>11-6 ATS in the last 17 games played in February</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-iowa-vs-ohio-state-pick">Iowa vs. Ohio State Pick</h2>



<p>The Buckeyes look like a better defensive team than Iowa, so I’m backing them to win and cover a 5-point spread on the home court. The Hawkeyes struggle to defend well and rank 215<sup>th</sup> in the country in the opponent field goal percentage (43.5%). They’ve gone only 1-4 SU and ATS in the last five games on the road.</p>



<p>On the other side, the Buckeyes rank 86<sup>th</sup> in the opponent field goal percentage (41.3%). They shoot 48.0% from the field (29<sup>th</sup>) and 36.8% from downtown (49<sup>th</sup>), so I’m expecting the Buckeyes to take full advantage of Iowa’s leaky defense.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Ohio State -5.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>This is the clash of the two different styles. While the Hawkeyes average 70.3 possessions per 40 minutes (54<sup>th</sup> in the nation), the Buckeyes register 66.3 (245<sup>th</sup>). The line has been set pretty high, so the totals look like a tricky wager.</p>



<p>Three of the previous four meetings between Iowa and Ohio State have gone over the total, so I’ll follow this betting trend. Also, the Hawkeyes will try everything they can to speed up things. Seven of their last nine games have produced 152 or more points in total.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 152.5 points at -110&nbsp;</strong></p>

Vancouver Canucks vs Seattle Kraken Betting Pick & Prediction 1/2/25

<p>The 2024 Winston-Salem Open, an ATP 250 outdoor hard court tournament, is coming to a conclusion this weekend with semi-final matches on Friday and the final Saturday. Sandwiched between back-to-back ATP 1000 events and the US Open, which begins on Monday, the event hasn't attracted as much talent as it has in years' past, leaving an unlikely semi-final pairing and a strong chance that someone wins their first ATP title this season.</p>



<p>Let's take a look back at the early action this week and preview Friday's semi-final matches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Past Winston-Salem Winners</h2>



<p>2023: Sebastian Baez def. Jiri Lehecka</p>



<p>2022: Adrian Mannarino def. Laslo Djere</p>



<p>2021: Ilya Ivashka def. Mikael Ymer</p>



<p>2019: Hubert Hurkacz def. Benoit Paire</p>



<p>2018: Daniil Medvedev def. Steve Johnson</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Winston-Salem Recap</h2>



<p>The Winston-Salem Open was turned upside down from the start of the competition with each of the top nine seeds losing their first match. Defending champion and top seed Sebastian Baez lost in straight sets in the second round to Borna Coric, while second seed Francisco Cerundolo also lost in straight sets to American Zachary Svajda. Adrian Mannarino, Mariano Navone, Nuno Borges, and Tomas Martin Etcheverry were among the other top seeds eliminated early.</p>



<p>Only two of the top-12 seeds - Lorenzo Sonego and Alex Michelsen - are into the semi-finals. Veterans David Goffin and Pablo Carreno Busta are the other two semi-finalists. Goffin, who hasn't won on the ATP Tour in two years, beat Rinky Hijikata in the quarter-finals, while Carreno Busta beat qualifier Learner Tien. Michelsen, a 19-year-old American, beat Christopher Eubanks 7-5, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (5) in a competitive quarter-final match and Sonego beat Pavel Kotov in straight sets.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semi-Final Matches</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">David Goffin (-145) vs. Lorenzo Sonego (+105)</h3>



<p>This is the third meeting between Sonego and Goffin. They split their previous two matches, with Sonego winning on clay earlier this season at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and Goffin winning on indoor hard courts at the Open Sud de France in 2021. Sonego is the higher-ranked player, won the most recent match between the two players, and has been on court almost three hours fewer than Goffin, so it's somewhat strange to see him as a considerable underdog.</p>



<p>I Like Sonego to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/mybookie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">win</a> this match for all of those reasons. Goffin is 18-8 on hard courts this season, whereas Sonego is just 8-10, but many of Goffin's wins have come in Challenger events against lesser opponents.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alex Michelsen (-115) vs. Pablo Carreno Busta (-115)</h3>



<p>Michelsen is a player who is on the verge of breaking through as a legit threat on the ATP Tour. He has two Challenger titles and is ranked a career-best No. 52, whereas Carreno Busta is a clay court specialist whose best days are behind him; the 33-year-old was once a top-10 player but is now ranked No. 299. Carreno Busta is 8-6 this season, while Michelsen is 31-26, including 7-3 in his last 10 matches.</p>



<p>Michelsen is also 19-10 on hard courts. He won his first two matches in straight sets and should have tremendous confidence after his close victory over Eubanks.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Winston-Salem Final Prediction</h2>



<p>Assuming a Sonego-Michelsen final, I like the veteran Sonego to take the title. Michelsen's time is coming soon, but it seems as though he might have to wait a bit longer. Sonego is a three-time <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/mybookie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">winner</a> on the ATP Tour.</p>



<p>Pick: Lorenzo Sonego def. Alex Michelsen</p>

Virginia Tech Hokies vs Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA Tournament First Four Betting Pick & Prediction 3/23/24

<p>The NHL action will enter a new week with this divisional tilt in New York on Monday, November 28, and here you can take a look at the best Devils vs. Rangers betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>New York is hoping to avoid the third consecutive loss when they welcome New Jersey at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers are -122 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 6 goals. These Metropolitan Division rivals faced four times last season, and the Rangers won that series 3-1.</p>



<p><strong>Devils ready for a new winning streak</strong></p>



<p>The New Jersey Devils (18-4-0-0, 15-7 ATS) are the most pleasant surprise of the season and one little step back didn’t affect their excellent displays. The Devils were on a 13-game winning streak, which came to an end with a home loss to Toronto, but the team wasn’t disheartened and responded with a pair of wins over the Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals. New Jersey is leveled with Boston as each team has 36 points at the top of the Eastern Conference.</p>



<p>The most recent 5-1 victory over the Capitals will remain in Jack Hughes’ memory forever. Hughes registered the first-ever hat trick of his NHL career as he scored three consecutive goals in the game between the second and third periods. Dawson Mercer contributed with two assists, while goalie Vitek Vanecek recorded season-high 37 saves. New Jersey has even ten individuals with double digits in points this season. Hughes (G 11, A 14) and Jesper Bratt (G 8, A17) lead the bunch with 25, while Nico Hischier is right behind with 24 points (G 10, A 14).</p>



<p>Vitek Vanecek (10-2-0) is a probable goaltender against the Rangers on Monday. The 26-year-old is allowing 2.05 goals per game with a .923 SV% and one shutout.</p>



<p>G MacKenzie Blackwood (MCL), G Jonathan Bernier (hip), and LW Ondrej Palat (groin) are out indefinitely and will not feature against New York on Monday.</p>



<p><strong>Rangers lost two in a row</strong></p>



<p>The New York Rangers (10-8-3-1, 7-15 ATS) are playing in a hot and cold form recently. They lost seven of the previous 11 games, and after securing a couple of wins in a row, the Rangers then lost two straight to the Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers. The latest defeat to Edmonton was quite painful as the Rangers had a 3-0 lead and two disallowed goals, but the Oilers scored four in the final 15:20 to get a 4-3 comeback victory.</p>



<p>Alexis Lafreniere, Chris Kreider, and Julien Gauthier scored for the Rangers to make it 3-0, but Igor Shesterkin allowed four goals from just eight shots toward his goal in the third period. It was only the fourth time this season that he conceded more than three goals (precisely four each time). Shesterkin will try to bounce back against the red-hot Devils. On offense, the Rangers have three players with 20+ points. Adam Fox (G 6, A 18) and Artemi Panarin (G 5, A 19) lead the team with 24, while Mika Zibanejad (G 10, A 13) is following them with 23 points.</p>



<p>Igor Shesterkin will return between the sticks when the Rangers welcome the Devils on Monday. The 26-year-old is surrendering 2.49 goals per contest this year, along with a .914 SV% and one shutout.</p>



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



<p><strong>New Jersey:</strong></p>



<ul><li>18-3 in the last 21 overall</li><li>9-0 in the last nine road games</li><li>8-1 in the last nine vs. Eastern Conference rivals</li></ul>



<p><strong>New York:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five home games</li><li>3-9 in the last 12 vs. Eastern Conference opponents</li><li>3-7 in the last ten when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game</li></ul>



<p><strong>New Jersey Devils vs. New York Rangers Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Devils are in way better form than the Rangers, but what impressed me the most with New Jersey this season is their rock-solid defense. They have the best defense in the NHL that is allowing 2.18 goals per game, and the Devils kept their opponents to below three goals in each of the last eight games. New Jersey also has the third-best offense in the league that is scoring 3.73 goals per contest, opposite the Rangers’ 3.00 per game. The divisional rivalry game is something special, so the Rangers will surely have their chance to beat the Devils. After all, they are slight favorites here. However, I am going with the Devils.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Devils to win (-102)</p>



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



<p>Vitek Vanecek didn’t allow more than two goals in each of his last five starts, and given the Rangers managed to score 3+ in only two of the previous five, I am backing Vanecek to have another strong outing. Igor Shesterkin is not in good form at the moment, but after conceding four goals from eight shots in the final period against Edmonton, he should bounce back in such a key game. Under is 7-0-1 in the Devils’ last eight overall; Under is 6-0 in New Jersey’s previous six vs. Eastern Conference rivals, while Under is 5-2 in the Rangers’ last seven overall.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under goals (-110)</p>

<p>The dust from the U.S. Open has settled, and the PGA Tour schedule heads across the country to TPC at River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut for the 2023 Travelers Championship. The tournament is the second-most attended PGA Tour event annually, trailing only behind the WM Phoenix Open. Tournament play for this designated event begins on Thursday, June 22nd, and ends on Sunday, June 25th.</p>



<p><a href="/s/bookmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Check out the full Travelers Championship odds over on Bookmaker</strong></a></p>



<p>Xander Schauffele (+1400) is the defending champion after defeating J.T. Poston and Sahith Theegala by two shots last season. Schauffele carded a four-day total of 261 (19-under par) to pick up his first of two victories in 2022. Xander will be back in action this week to defend his title after a T10 finish at last week’s U.S. Open.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-field-is-packed-with-star-power">The Field is Packed with Star Power</h2>



<p>Typically following a major tournament players take the next few weeks off to recover. Not this week, as the Travelers in one of the PGA Tour’s designated events. With that designation, the field is packed with many of the top players in the world.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Eight of the top ten players in the Official World Golf Rankings are expected to tee it up, along with U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark (<a href="/s/bookmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">+5500</a>). Scottie Scheffler (+600), the world no. 1, headlines the list that includes Jon Rahm (+1100), Rory McIlroy (+1200), Patrick Cantlay (+1100), and Viktor Hovland (+1800).</p>



<p>Past champions of the Travelers in the field this week joining Schauffele are Harris English (2021), Chez Reavie (2019), Russell Knox (2016), Kevin Streelman (2014), and two-time winner Stewart Cink (2008, 1997).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-low-scores-await-at-tpc-at-river-highlands">Low Scores Await at TPC at River Highlands</h2>



<p>Although the course is a par-70, TPC at River Highlands has historically surrendered low scores to the world’s best golfers over the years. The layout plays under 7,000 yards and the winning score is typically in the high teens under par.</p>



<p>The club was founded in 1928 as the Middletown Golf Club and then Edgewood Country Club in 1934. Eventually, in the 1980s, the course was purchased by the PGA Tour and became part of the Tournament Players Club network.</p>



<p>Pete Dye redesigned the course in 1984 and Bobby Weed, with the consultation of tour pros Howard Twitty and Roger Maltbie, further altered the layout in 1989.</p>



<p>Jim Furyk holds the course record after firing a 58 in the final round of the 2016 tournament. The score was the lowest in PGA Tour tournament history.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-scheffler-keep-it-going">Can Scheffler Keep it Going?</h2>



<p>Scottie Scheffler might be winning as many tournaments as he would like to, but the run of high finishes this season is reaching absurdity. Scheffler has finished five straight events inside the top five, including a string of four consecutive T3s or better.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This season, the 26-year-old has made the cut in 17 of 17 events he’s teed it up in and finished inside the top 25 in all but one of them. Scheffler has two wins on the year, securing a victory at the WM Phoenix Open and the PLAYERS Championship a month later.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The biggest hurdle for Scheffler to overcome has been his putter. The world no. 1 ranks first in every major statistical category on the PGA Tour but sits 138th amongst his peers in Strokes Gained: Putting.</p>
