<h2>Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals Odds</h2>
Detroit (+290) is entering this one as the underdog to Washington (-380), and oddsmakers have put the Over/Under (O/U) at an even 6 goals (-115 for the over, -105 for the under).

Even though its record stands at 41-28 straight up (SU), Washington has earned moneyline bettors a total of 2.1 units this season. Through 69 regular season outings, 43 of its games have gone over the total, while 24 have gone under and just two have pushed. The team's 18-15 SU at home this year.

The Capitals have converted on 19.4 percent of their power play opportunities this season, a mark that's right around league average. On the other hand, their penalty kill is ranked sixth overall, and they've successfully killed off 82.6 percent of all penalties.

With a .897 save percentage and 25.9 saves per game, Braden Holtby (26-22-6) has been the best goalkeeper for Washington this year. If Washington chooses to rest him, however, the team might roll with Ilya Samsonov (16-10-10 record, .913 save percentage, 2.55 goals against average).

On the visiting bench, Detroit is 17-54 straight up (SU) and has lost 24.5 units for moneyline bettors this year. A total of 34 of its matches have gone under the total, while 29 have gone over and just eight have pushed. As the road team, the Red Wings are 5-29 SU.

The Red Wings have converted on just 14.9 percent of their power play chances this season, a figure that places them in the bottom- overall among NHL teams. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked 32nd overall and it's successfully defended 74.4 percent of all opponent power plays.

Jonathan Bernier (2.95 goals against average and .907 save percentage) has been the primary option in goal for Detroit. Bernier is averaging 26.7 saves per game and has 15 wins, 31 losses, and three OT losses to his credit.

<h2>Notes</h2>
Betting Notes

A majority (56.1 percent) of Washington's wins have come by two or more goals, and the team is 23-13 overall in such games. 7 of Detroit's 17 wins (41.2 percent) have been decided by two or more goals.

Power plays and penalty kills could have a critical role tonight. The Red Wings are 6-16 when they serve fewer penalty minutes than their opponent and 12-37 in games where they're in the penalty box for fewer than 10 total minutes. The Capitals are 12-10 when they serve fewer penalty minutes than the opposition and 20-15 when their penalty minutes are in the single digits.

Two of Washington's last ten games have ended in a shootout. The team is 1-1 in those games and 4-3 overall in shootouts this year.

Washington may hold the upper hand if this one comes down to the wire. The team's 18-15 in games decided by one goal, while Detroit is 10-13 in such games.

For both of these teams, the game went over the total in four of their past five outings.

Detroit is ranked 25th this season with 11.8 giveaways per game. That figure has trended higher, as the team's averaged 14.6 giveaways over its last 10 games and 13.8 giveaways over its last five.

Washington is ranked 22nd this season with 10.9 giveaways per game. That figure has improved lately, however, as it's averaged 9.7 giveaways over its last 10 games and 8.4 giveaways over its last five.

The Caps this season have tallied the seventh-most hits in the NHL (24.9 per game), but that average has jumped up to 28.4 over their last five home outings.

We can cancel the season, right? The Los Angeles Dodgers got Mookie Betts and the best team in the National League from last season is now even better. There is no point in playing out the rest of this whole charade.

Ah, but remember what happened on Washington’s path to the World Series? The Nationals won Game 5 on the road at Dodger Stadium and used that as a springboard to win the Fall Classic. Furthermore, the Nationals did so as a Wild Card team. If you ever need a reminder of how crazy the MLB Playoffs, aka the Tournament of Variance, can be, think back to that one. And countless other examples.

Like the AL Pennant chase, it would be nice to see some new blood in the mix in the Senior Circuit. We could get it, to be totally honest. This author is actually high on the Cincinnati Reds as one example. The New York Mets are another example of a team that could make an appearance. Some would even suggest the San Diego Padres as a Wild Card contender.

Over the last three years, the Dodgers, Cardinals, Braves, Brewers, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Nationals, and Rockies have made the playoffs. In the AL, only seven different teams have qualified for the postseason. Eight teams have made it in the NL, so there has been a little more parity, at least in terms of qualifiers. It is entirely possible that we add a new one or two to the list for this season.

That being said, only four teams across the league have made the World Series the last three seasons – the Nationals, Astros, Dodgers, and Red Sox. The Dodgers certainly look poised to have a third bite at the apple in the World Series again this season, but we all thought that last season, too.

The Braves have won back-to-back <a href="http://bangthebook.com/nl-east-division-betting-odds-prediction/608060/"><strong>NL East</strong></a> titles. The Dodgers have won seven <a href="http://bangthebook.com/nl-west-division-betting-odds-prediction/608063/"><strong>NL West</strong></a> titles in a row. The Cubs, Brewers, and Cardinals have taken turns in the <a href="http://bangthebook.com/nl-central-division-betting-odds-prediction/608066/"><strong>NL Central</strong></a>. Two of the division races look pretty wide open, while the third is already decided.

It kind of astounds me that the Yankees have lower odds in the AL than the Dodgers do in the NL at 5Dimes. First of all, the Dodgers won their division by 21 games last season and are a virtual lock to do so again and avoid the Wild Card Game. It is nowhere near as hard to see a path to Tampa Bay winning the East in the Junior Circuit as it would be to see the Diamondbacks or Padres doing so.

Also, the Yankees would have to likely face the Astros in the ALCS and the Astros are a better team than any non-Dodgers team in the NL. This seems like a pricing error. I wouldn’t take the Dodgers at +190 because anything can happen in the playoffs, but there is no way that the Dodgers should have longer odds than the Yankees.

In any event, we see the byproduct of not having a real clear second team like we have in the AL with the Astros. Prices are depressed on teams like Washington, St. Louis, and the Mets.

There are two very obvious picks in the NL if you are so inclined. They both come from the Central Division. The Chicago Cubs are clearly mispriced at +1350. They were 82-68 through 150 games last season and were right there with the Cardinals before going 2-10 over the final 12 games. The Cardinals are going to take a step back this season and I do not really see a path for them to repeat in the NL Central. If the Cubs can win the division and avoid the Wild Card Game, that would be a really nice advantage. They would play the winner of the NL East in all likelihood and none of the top three teams in that division would be a massive favorite over the Cubs.

The second is the Reds at +1300. In my mind, either the Cubs or the Reds win the NL Central more often than anybody else. That would mean a chance to get right into the NLDS as opposed to the Wild Card Game. It is entirely possible that both of these teams make it in to be totally honest.

In the NL East, any one of the Braves, Nationals, or Mets could win the division and I wouldn’t be shocked. If the Cardinals or the Brewers win the NL Central, I will be surprised.

Therefore, the Cubs and the Reds carry the most value to me in the NL Pennant futures market.

<p>Yeah, we know it's too early to start thinking about this, right? Well, not sure. It's NEVER too early to talk about a coach being sacked.</p>



<p>Naturally something like this connected to a disappointing season on the part of the team involved. Naturally first-year coaches are going to be less likely to get the axe. But some of them may be wearing out their welcome.</p>



<p>Let's take a look at some of the "contenders," with their odds according to <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a></strong>.</p>



<p><strong>VIC FANGIO, Denver Broncos (+500)<br></strong><br>Is he a realistic candidate? I'd say so, and we did see a sense of urgency to win in the preseason. He's made the decision to go with Teddy Bridgewater over Drew Lock at quarterback. Not sure whether the inability to make a better move in the off-season, or the decision to maintain some faith in Lock, will be determined to be an administrative failure, which would put John Elway on the hot seat.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/"><img src="https://www.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/betonline.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-703065"/></a></figure>



<p>Fangio came to the Mile High City as a defensive specialist, so that side of the ball needs to improve. But if there are signs of sloppy play - the Broncos led the league with 32 turnovers last year - they might pull the plug.</p>



<p><strong>MIKE McCARTHY, Dallas Cowboys (+700)<br></strong><br>My take is that this isn't going to happen during the season unless something catastrophic happens,with a healthy Dallas roster. AND unless Dak Prescott turns on McCarthy the way Aaron Rodgers apparently did.</p>



<p><strong>MATT NAGY, Chicago Bears (+750)<br></strong><br>As pathetic as it was, the Bears did slip through to make the playoffs last season, in spite of themselves. How much patience management has with him may depend on how he handles the quarterback situation. Right now the plan is for veteran Andy Dalton to be the "bridge" over to rookie Justin Fields.</p>



<p>The problem with all this is that Dalton is rather immobile, and Fields is, well, a rookie. Last season we heard Nick Foles, the former Super Bowl MVP, talk about how he didn't have enough time to execute the plays that were being called. Nagy was calling those plays, and later he ceded that control to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor.</p>



<p>Now things have been re-established. “I’m gonna be the one calling the plays this year," says Nagy. So perhaps Lazor is not a convenient scapegoat. On the other hand, the presence of a rookie QB drafted in the first round may buy Nagy some time. Does he deserve it?</p>



<p><strong>JON GRUDEN, Las Vegas Raiders (+1200 at&nbsp;<a href="https://record.commissionkings.ag/_SwFIINNFoTmu11z-n_bVh2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a>)<br></strong><br>This is a low number. I just don't see Gruden being fired, considering the size of his contract and the way owner Mark Davis chased him down. And if he's fired, it's not going to happen to him before anyone else.</p>



<p><strong>DAVID CULLEY, Houston Texans (+1800)<br></strong><br>Among the first-year head coaches, he comes in with the lowest number. He's a long-time assistant who is 66 years old, and I just don't see it. It is understood that Houston probably has the lowest level of personnel in the NFL,and then there is the DeShaun Watson situation to deal with. Yes, they will lose, and probably lose big, but a lot of that is because management has been dumping players and trying to build some room under the cap. At the same time, they have decided to retain Watson, even though they don't know if he can play. You can't scapegoat Culley for all this.</p>



<p><strong>ZAC TAYLOR, Cincinnati Bengals (+850)<br></strong><br>This could be my guy. Yes, I know the Bengals don't necessarily fit the profile for this, considering the amount of patience they showed with Marvin Lewis. But they have a lot of money invested in Joe Burrow, and he hasn't gotten through a full NFL season.</p>



<p>If his development is stunted somehow under Taylor, who is supposed to be a quarterback "guru," it's going to be a major concern. There were reports last season about how unhappy a number of Cincinnati players were with Taylor. They didn't like him, they didn't respect him, they didn't like some of the things he said to them in practice - perhaps with some racial overtones. In this day and age, that kind of discontent can have more of an effect than it used to.</p>



<p>Obviously,if the Bengals are winning, that could change. But will they win, in a division with Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Baltimore? Hmmmm.</p>
