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.



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.



<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.



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



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.



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.



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).



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



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.



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.



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).



Trends:



Dallas:



<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>



Carolina:



<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>



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.



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.



Pick: Take the Carolina Hurricanes at -195



The Total



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.



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.



Pick: Go Under 6 goals at -130

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

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.



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;



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



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.



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.



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 (76th in the country) while surrendering 388.0 in a return (77th).



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



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.



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 57th in the nation in points scored per game (31.5) and 10th in total yards per contest (533.3).



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



Trends:



BYU:



<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>



Utah State:



<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">BYU vs. Utah State Pick</h2>



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.



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.



Pick: Take Utah State +10.0 at -138&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



The Total:



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.



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.



Pick: Go over 61.5 points at -110

Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards Betting Pick & Prediction 2/27/24

There is no day off for the playoff participants in the MLB as we have Game 3 of the NLCS on Friday, October 21, and here you can see the best Padres vs. Phillies betting pick and odds.



San Diego and Philadelphia will play the third of a best-of-seven NLCS series at Citizens Bank Park, and the Padres are -115 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 7.5 runs. These conference rivals have met seven times before this playoff series, and the Phillies won four of those games. The current series is tied at 1-1.



Padres came from behind to get a win in Game 2



The San Diego Padres lost the opening game of the NLCS at home without scoring a single run in the process but responded with an 8-5 victory in Game 2 over the Philadelphia Phillies. The visitors got to an early 4-0 lead in the second inning, but the Padres answered with two runs in the bottom 2nd and then added five more in the 5th.



Brandon Drury, Josh Bell, and Manny Machado hit a solo home run apiece, while Drury and Bell combined for five RBIs, leading their team to a precious victory. San Diego had 13 hits opposite Philadelphia’s eight, and these three players were the only Padres with multi-hit displays. Blake Snell was credited with a win despite allowing four runs on five hits with six strikeouts and a walk over 5.0 innings. Josh Hader earned the fourth save of the postseason.



Joe Musgrove (10-7, 1-0 in the playoffs) will start for the Padres in Game 3 of the NLCS in Philadelphia on Friday. The 29-year-old right-hander started 30 games this season and owns a 2.93 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 184/42 K/BB ratio across 181.0 innings.



Phillies couldn’t hold the lead and succumbed to a defeat in San Diego



After a fantastic defensive showing in Game 1 of the NLCS against the San Diego Padres on the road, the Philadelphia Phillies allowed eight runs in an 8-5 Game 2 defeat. Still, the Phillies have to be content with the way they played, and with one win in the bag, and now they have a home-field advantage.



Alec Bohm, Matt Vierling, Edmundo Sosa, and Kyle Schwarber all chipped in an RBI in the second inning, while Rhys Hoskins hit a solo home run in the 8th, but it was too late to make a comeback. Aaron Nola was torched for six runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and no walks in 4.2 innings. It was a disappointing performance from Philly’s ace, and if an opportunity arises again in the playoffs, there is no doubt he will be eager to bounce back.



Ranger Suarez (10-7) will get on the hill for the Phillies in Game 3 of the NLCS against San Diego on Friday. The 27-year-old left-hander had 29 starts this year and carries a 3.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 129/58 K/BB ratio in 155.1 innings of work.



Trends:



San Diego:



<ul><li>5-2 in the last seven games vs. a left-handed starter</li><li>8-3 in the last 11 road games</li><li>12-3 in the last 15 road games with the total set at 7.0-8.5</li></ul>



Philadelphia:



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five vs. National League West rivals</li><li>1-4 in the last five after allowing five runs or more in their previous game</li></ul>



San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies Pick



Joe Musgrove started two playoff games and was excellent in both, allowing two runs in total with a magnificent 1.38 ERA across 13.0 innings. However, he didn’t enjoy the best of starts in his lone appearance against Philadelphia this year as he registered a 9.00 ERA in 6.0 innings in a loss. On the other hand, Ranger Suarez got a win in his lone start against the Padres and had a 2.45 ERA in 7.1 innings. Despite Suarez’s better numbers in this H2H matchup, I am going with the Padres, who played very well on the road recently, better than in San Diego.



Pick: Take the Padres to win (-115)



The Total



Both starters have more than decent numbers against opposing batters. Suarez allows just a .170 against the Padres in 47 at-bats, while Musgrove is allowing .211 to the Phillies in 95 at-bats. I am backing them to have quality starts in this one and allow no more than three or four runs combined. Under is 12-5 in the last 17 H2H meetings; Under is 19-7-1 in the previous 27 H2H duels in Philadelphia, while Under is 4-1 in the Phillies’ last five after scoring five runs or more in their previous game.



Pick: Go Under 7.5 runs (-110)

Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons Betting Pick & Prediction 12/19/24

Road America has not held a top stock car event since 1956, but that will change on Sunday July 4 as the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for the Jockey Made in America 250.



It seems only fitting that an Independence Day race would be held at a place called Road America. It is almost as if NASCAR officials planned it that way! It will be the fourth of seven road course races for the realigned and re-imagined NASCAR Cup Series schedule, so we’ll see how the drivers take to the new course.



We’ll use odds from <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline">BetOnline Sportsbook</a> to pick the best bets for this weekend’s festivities and you can sign up at BOL and get a <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/">50% Deposit Match Bonus up to $1000</a>.



<h2 id="h-betting-odds-the-field">Betting Odds &amp; The Field</h2>



The betting odds show Chase Elliott as the favorite this week at +250. Elliott is probably the most accomplished road course racer and he’s had success this season with a stage win and the most laps led at Daytona, a win in the rain at the Circuit of the Americas, and a second-place finish at Sonoma.



Kyle Larson seems comfortable winning anywhere and he did take the checkered flag in that Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma. Martin Truex Jr. has had great success at Sonoma and he is the third choice at +650, just behind the +300 for Larson.



A lot of drivers are at some big prices this week and those are the ones that we’ll be talking about soon enough.



<h2 id="h-a-preview-of-road-america">A Preview of Road America</h2>



Some of America’s most iconic roads weave and wind along the landscape and it makes sense that Road America is a windy road of its own. The 4.048-mile asphalt track features 14 turns. There are some long straightaways and some long stretches that feel like straightaways, but the areas between Turn 5 and Turn 14 are going to be the most interesting to watch and follow as the race goes along.



This is a new track for the Cup Series veterans, who have never really raced here. This track has been part of the Xfinity Series circuit since 2010, but this race never featured the Cup Series. They were off somewhere else. This will be a weekend doubleheader with the Xfinity Series and you’ll want to see who does well in that race on Saturday in case it translates over to Sunday.



<h2 id="h-road-course-ringers">Road Course Ringers</h2>



There will be some ringers that enter the Xfinity Series race, but the Cup Series doesn’t really allow for much of that. As mentioned under the betting odds heading, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, and Martin Truex Jr. are accomplished road racers. Guys like Joey Logano, who actually has three top-five finishes in the road course races, are also pretty interesting.



The reality of this race and this course is that the Xfinity Series guys have had a chance to run here, so guys like Christopher Bell, Austin Cindric, Tyler Reddick, William Byron, and others have all had some track time here.



That could wind up being really important if the Cup Series guys get a bit uncomfortable with the track and the conditions.



On the other hand, guys like AJ Allmendinger and Michael McDowell are past winners here at the Xfinity Series level. Others like Kurt and Kyle Busch are just savvy veterans that shouldn’t have a problem figuring out the lay of the land. It is still a car race after all.



<h2 id="h-nascar-picks-best-bets">NASCAR Picks &amp; Best Bets</h2>



There isn’t a whole lot to say or preview about this event because we don’t have any track history data and road courses are all unique and present various challenges for the drivers. All we know are the guys that run well at them.



Joey Logano’s done really well, so as far as short prices go, he’d be the one to take a look at with his +1000 number.



Otherwise, look for big prices, like Christopher Bell at +3300, Austin Cindric at +2500, and Kurt Busch at +3300. Those are all guys that have a much better chance here than they would at other tracks and we have some big payout potential on those guys.

New York Islanders vs Chicago Blackhawks Betting Pick & Prediction 12/15/24

Betting against the public is the epitome of intensity in the gambling world. What are the odds and who is picking who? Everyone believes they have all the answers but then they start second-guessing and choose the safe pick a.k.a the popular pick. Those who stick to their conviction believe they have the advantage because they <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sports-betting-what-is-contrarian-betting/">bet against the public</a> who most of the time are uninformed and misguided.

Real Facts vs Fake News

From the outside, it seems sensible to use this strategy fairly often because if the popular pick won every time then there would be no sportsbooks in business. Any sort of house or dealer tries their best to get some of the pie especially when odds are 50/50 and they do their job well. They can’t let the free-thinkers make them look foolish either. So usually they will survey the area and play a little bit on both sides

When the common choice is made clear, the bookies usually end up on top. If they’re the ones making all the money, why would you not align with them? Like they say: “the house always wins” and the worst thing that can happen is you end up like the rest of those who didn’t pick the correct side.

You can see this strategy firsthand in everyday life. Ask someone how they feel about two opponents, one of which is the obvious choice to win. They look at you in confusion as if the person/team they pick has never been beaten before. At the end of the day, most bettors enter the life because they were fans initially and have a stake in it already. It is everyone’s dream to watch their team win while getting rich and it’s seemingly easy money if you just choose the best team… or so they think.

With this in mind, the bookies can adjust accordingly and shift their lines to put themselves in a position to cash out as much as they can and the security of the common man not doing any research to realize this. The really obvious picks will adjust even more and raise the stakes higher for those enough to bet the opposite.

People Lie – Numbers Don’t

In all sports, home court advantage is seen as a decent metric for telling which team will win. This proves false especially in the NBA which is good news for contrarian bettors. Road teams have won 51% of the time since 2005. What’s even better is that when this is ignored by the public, the record improves. Teams in the middle of a long road trip do the best. During that time period so long as they receive less than 1/3 of the spread, win almost 60% of the time.

In the college world, March Madness upsets have made people literal millionaires overnight. In the regular season on the more heavily-bet games, going opposite of the public has proven a good choice as 56% of the time it’s the better choice. It’s impossible to adopt a system that is invincible due to the inevitable fact that a market correction will be made. However, going <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sports-betting-what-is-public-money/">opposite of the public</a> bet is a strategy that’s proven lucrative and has fared well so far.

Betting Against The Public

In this season of craziness, the Sunday game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was surrounded by some uncertainty.

Trent Brown, Las Vegas' Pro Bowl right tackle, has been diagnosed with the coronavirus, and so contact tracing had to be done. Therefore, the status of other players, including the four other starting offensive linemen, was put in a little doubt.

The game was moved out of prime time, as the league used the "abundance of caution" rationale. The NFL (and NBC) didn't want to be caught without a Sunday night game if positive tests prevented the game from being played as scheduled. So the kickoff has been moved up to 4:05 PM ET at Allegiant Stadium, the state-of-the-art facility on the Vegas Strip. And the Seattle Seahawks will play the Arizona Cardinals in the night game.

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports </a>customers get the best of everything, and that includes reduced juice, which offers the chance to avoid having to lay the standard -110 on football, as well as real-time wagering with Sports Betting Prime.

And here are their numbers on Sunday's contest, with the Bucs established as a road favorite:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers -5
Las Vegas Raiders +5

Over 52 points -110
Under 52 points -110

Both of these teams are coming off very impressive efforts. The Buccaneers scored a resounding 38-10 win over the Green Bay Packers, while the Raiders took a 40-32 decision over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Raiders have had a rather efficient offensive situation going for themselves, and at the root of it is the low-risk quarterbacking of Derek Carr, who has thrown just one interception in 176 attempts. He's well protected, which is why the absence of Brown can be important. But the other guys have been taken off the reserve list - left tackle Kolton Miller, center Rodney Hudson, right guard Gabe Jackson and left guard Denzelle Good. Carr averages 6.9 air yards beyond the line of scrimmage, which places him 26th among NFL quarterbacks.

Jon Gruden has always insisted on running the ball, even if it isn't producing a lot, because he wants the defense committing resources to stopping it. Josh Jacobs is the one and only go-to guy in the backfield, but he is averaging less than four yards per attempt. Interestingly, the Raiders don't run a lot of play action; Carr has only thrown 27 passes off it this season. We wonder how much of that could be effective anyway, as Tampa Bay allows just three yards a carry, best in the NFL.

We know what Tom Brady does, and he has tossed just one interception in his last four games. So already there is a difference between this experience and that which they had with Jameis Winston, who threw 30 picks last year. Mike Evans has been on the receiving end of six of Brady's 14 TD passes. Rob Gronkowski caught his first touchdown as a Buccaneer last week. And Ronald Jones, who a lot of people had questions about, has responded to the challenge of the Bucs having signed Leonard Fournette as he now has 472 rushing yards.

The big difference between these two teams is that Tampa Bay has an honest-to-goodness stop unit. Anyone who had doubts about that saw a litmus test last week against Green Bay, when they held the Packers to 201 total yards and frustrated Aaron Rodgers, holding him to 16 completions in 35 attempts and intercepting him twice. The Bucs are giving up fewer yards per drive than any team in the NFL. And they are in the top ten in the red zone.

We realize that at this point, with Brady aboard, the Bucs are a "public" team and are going to be overpriced more often than not. They are laying points on the road, and that line has been moving upward. But maybe we should consider whether there is such a thing as a "home field advantage" here. The Raiders are in a new home city and in a new ballpark that they don't know too well. And there aren't any fans. On that basis, we're left with the fundamental edges the Bucs possess, which don't give us much hesitation in laying the points.
