<p>The NHL betting action continues with Game 4 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Finals between New York and Tampa Bay, so here’s the best Rangers vs. Lightning betting pick for Tuesday, June 7.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, the Lightning are -173 home favorites to win this battle at Amalie Arena. The Rangers are +156 moneyline dogs, and the totals are listed at 5.5 goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>New York dropped Game 3, put an end to its winning streak&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The New York Rangers blew a huge opportunity to grab a 3-0 lead in the conference finals. Despite a 2-0 lead midway through the second period of Game 3 in Tampa, the Rangers suffered a painful 3-2 defeat to put an end to their four-game winning streak.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider converted a couple of power-play opportunities last Sunday, but the Rangers allowed the Bolts to respond with a pair of power-play goals. With just 42 seconds left on the clock in the third period, the Lightning hit the winner and ruined the Rangers’ afternoon at Amalie Arena.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Igor Shesterkin had another tremendous game between the pipes. He yielded three goals but also had a whopping 49 saves. The 26-year-old netminder has been outstanding since the start of the second round. Shesterkin is now 10-6 with a 2.62 GAA and .930 save percentage in the 2022 Stanley Cup, while Mika Zibanejad leads the way for skaters with ten goals and 14 assists.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Bolts’ dream of a three-peat is still alive&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Tampa Bay Lightning suffered a heavy 6-2 defeat in the opening game of the conference finals. They outshot New York 39-34 but surrendered four unanswered goals. The Bolts lost 3-2 in Game 2 while outshooting the Rangers 31-28.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The two-time defending champions were on the ropes in Game 3 at home. They found a way to bounce back and grab a huge victory, taking a thumping 52 shots toward Igor Shesterkin. The Bolts surrendered 30 shots in a return, and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 28 for his ninth win of the postseason.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Through his 14 starts in the 2022 NHL Playoffs, Vasilevskiy has posted a 2.54 GAA and .922 save percentage. Nikita Kucherov leads the way for Tampa Bay with six goals and 14 assists, while Steven Stamkos and Ondrej Palat have accounted for six goals apiece.&nbsp;</p>



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



<p><strong>NY Rangers:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-7 in the last ten playoff games when listed as underdogs&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Tampa Bay:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-2 in the last nine games overall&nbsp;</li><li>5-0 in the last five games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>New York Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Pick&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The Rangers might lose the momentum after blowing a two-goal lead in Game 3. On the other side, the Lightning must be fired up following a huge comeback, so I’ll stick with the reigning champs and take Tampa Bay to win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Of course, the Rangers have the most dominant player in this matchup. I’m expecting the Bolts to control the flow of this clash, but they’ll need a ton of shots to beat Igor Shesterkin and outscore the Rangers.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Tampa Bay Lightning at -173&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>As I’ve mentioned in the previous preview, backing the under in this matchup is the only reasonable move. Igor Shesterkin is arguably the best goaltender in hockey, while Andrei Vasilevskiy is not far away from Igor’s standard.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On the other hand, the line is a tricky one at 5.5 goals. The under backers were pretty lucky to see the last two games finish 3-2 without an empty-net goal down the stretch.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 5.5 goals at -125&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Portland State Vikings vs Bakersfield Roadrunners NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

The BYU Cougars really laid it on Navy in the season opener, and it got some talk going that they might actually be able to go undefeated and advance to the college football playoff. Some things have changed since then, namely the SEC's entry into the fray, and they had to postpone last week's game. But they still come into the weekend ranked 18th by the Associated Press as they play host to the Troy Trojans of the Sun Belt Conference.

Game time is 10:15 PM ET at Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo, and if you are a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you'll be able to get reduced juice on this game, not to mention the opportunity for real-time betting during the festivities through Sports Betting Prime.

BYU began its season with a resounding 55-3 win over Navy - a game that was arranged without a lot of advance notice because of holes in the two teams' schedules. They had a game slated against Army last week, and that could have been of some added significance because of the Cadets' #22 national ranking, but that was postponed because of a number of COVID-19 cases that broke out on campus. Things are so crazy that they are still having discussions about playing Boise State this season.

Troy has played once - last week against Middle Tennessee State, who they rolled over by a 47-14 score. So while they are into a regular routine, BYU will not have played a game in 19 days.

In the college football odds that have been posted on this game at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, BYU is laying more than two touchdowns:

<strong>BYU Cougars -14.5</strong>
<strong>Troy Trojans +14.5</strong>

<strong>Over 60.5 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 60.5 points -110</strong>

So was BYU as awesome as it looked against the Midshipmen? That question bears asking; after all, they had a 580-149 yardage edge, a 28-7 advantage in first downs, and held Navy's rushing attack, one of the most formidable in the nation last year, to just 119 yards. But to be honest, Navy had not done any contact drills to that point, with coronavirus concerns on campus, and they had not really resolved the quarterback situation. Perry Olsen announced intentions to transfer after the game, indicating that he was unhappy that Dalen Morris had been chosen over him as the QB starter.

When it comes to scheduling quirks, this one brought some real changes to BYU, which had previously found itself preparing for option attacks in back-to-back weeks from the service academies, but has not had some extra time to get ready for the spread offense of Troy, which was extremely effective against MTSU, with 496 total yards. What you can say about the Trojans is that they are balanced; QB Gunnar Watson had a very solid game last weekend, with 248 yards, and Troy had 240 yards on the ground as well.

Linebacker Chaz Ah You has been declared out for the season because he has elected to have a surgical procedure now rather than wait until the end of the season. He joins tight end Matt Bushman on the sidelines, along with reserve running backs Hinckley Ropati and Jackson McChesney. So some of the depth in the backfield has been cut into. Also, Sione Finau, the leading returning rusher from a year ago, is still in a recovery period from an ACL injury, and he is an iffy proposition.

And that could mean something. We think Zach Wilson needs balance in the attack to operate at a high level. He has a very accomplished offensive line, but Troy has most likely made some strides on defense, adding some Power 5 transfers, with an unlikely anchor in the middle linebacker spot. We don't know if Carlton Martial will be converted to safety for his NFL opportunity, but at the moment he is a 5-10 ball of fire who is all over the field and was recognized with pre-season All-America status. He's the playmaker BYU has to watch for.

Troy is more "together" on both sides than Navy was a few weeks ago. It would not surprise us if this one was tight all the way. We're taking points with TROY.
