<p>The NHL betting action continues with a couple of games on Wednesday’s slate, so we bring you the best Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers betting pick and odds. These two foes met each other eight times in the abbreviated 2020-21 season, and Boston emerged victorious on six occasions.</p>



<p>The Bruins opened as -128 road favorites for their first date with the Flyers in 2021-22. Philadelphia is listed as a +116 moneyline underdog on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the totals sit at 5.5 goals.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Boston started the new campaign on a high note</h2>



<p>After a disappointing second-round exit in the 2021 Stanley Cup, the Boston Bruins opened the new season with a convincing 3-1 victory to the Dallas Stars this past Saturday. They played as firm -180 moneyline home favorites and fully deserved a win over the mediocre Stars.</p>



<p>The Bruins took 40 shots towards Dallas’ goalie and yielded just 28 in a return. They went 0-for-3 with the man advantage, but the Stars couldn’t score on six power-play opportunities. Last season, the Bruins had the second-best penalty-killing percentage in the NHL (86.0).</p>



<p>Brad Marchand scored a couple of goals against Dallas, while Jeremy Swayman posted 27 saves. The 22-year-old netminder was 7-3-0 with a 1.50 GAA and a .945 save percentage this past regular season. This time around, Swayman will share the crease with Tuukka Rask and Linus Ullmark.</p>



<h2>Philadelphia bounced back from a tough loss in the opener</h2>



<p>The Philadelphia Flyers started the new season with a 5-4 shootout defeat to the Vancouver Canucks, playing as -140 home favorites. They bounced back with a 6-1 dismantling of the Seattle Kraken this past Monday.</p>



<p>The Flyers satisfied -135 moneyline odds in their second outing of the season and pleased the audience at Wells Fargo Center. Six different players found the back of the net, including center Derick Brassard, who added a couple of dishes.</p>



<p>Carter Hart turned aside 35 shots in that tough loss to the Canucks. He posted 23 saves against the Kraken to grab his first win of the season. Hart was disastrous last regular season, going 9-11-5 with a 3.67 GAA and a .877 save percentage.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Trends:</h2>



<h3>Boston:</h3>



<ul><li>6-2 in the last eight games against Philadelphia</li><li>13-5 in the last 18 regular-season games</li></ul>



<h3>Philadelphia:</h3>



<ul><li>1-4 in the last five home games against Boston</li><li>3-9 in the last 12 outings at home as underdogs&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-boston-bruins-vs-philadelphia-flyers-pick">Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Pick</h2>



<p>While Jeremy Swayman is expected to get another starting call for the Bruins, Martin Jones should patrol the crease for the Flyers in this one. Jones joined Philadelphia in the offseason after spending six years with the San Jose Sharks, and he was 15-13-4 with a disappointing 3.28 GAA and a .896 save percentage in 2020-21. Interestingly, Jones has registered an identical save percentage in each of the last three regular seasons.</p>



<p>On paper, the Bruins are a slightly better team, though Philadelphia should be one of the best offensive teams in the league this term. Martin Jones hasn’t been at his best over the last few seasons, so I’m backing the Bruins to escape with a victory.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Boston Bruins at -128&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The Boston Bruins have been one of the best defensive teams in the NHL over the last few years. They were yielding only 2.39 goals per game last regular season (tied-4<sup>th</sup> in the league) while scoring 2.93 in a return (14<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>On the other side, the Flyers owned the worst scoring defense in 2020-21, surrendering a whopping 3.52 goals a night. Five of their eight last season’s encounters with the Bruins went in the over, so I’ll stick with this betting trend.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 5.5 goals at -120&nbsp;</strong></p>

Nicholls Colonels vs Seattle Redhawks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/30/24

<p>The college basketball betting action goes on Sunday, January 23, 2022, with the Big East Conference showdown at Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, so we bring you the best Butler vs. Providence betting pick.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Bulldogs meet the Friars for the first time this season, opening as 9-point road underdogs with a total of 127.0 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>. Providence has dominated Butler in their previous 18 encounters, going 13-5 straight up and ATS in the process.</p>



<h2>Butler lost two straight to UConn and five of its last six games   </h2>



<p>The Butler Bulldogs fell to 9-9 SU and 5-12 ATS on the season following back-to-back losses to the No. 25 UConn Huskies. After a 76-59 defeat at XL Center in Hartford, the Bulldogs got battered in front of the home fans, 75-56.</p>



<p>Butler has gone only 1-5 SU and ATS in its last six outings at any location. The Bulldogs are 2-5 in conference play, sitting at the ninth spot of the Big East standings. They are No. 155 in the NCAA NET Rankings and No. 142 in the KenPom rankings.</p>



<p>The Bulldogs have struggled offensively all season, tallying only 101.1 points per 100 possessions (212<sup>th</sup> in the country) on 41.3% shooting from the field (309<sup>th</sup>) and 31.5% from beyond the arc (285<sup>th</sup>). Furthermore, the Bulldogs average a paltry 11 assists per 100 possessions (313<sup>th</sup>). Sophomore guard Chuck Harris leads the way with 10.2 points a night, while senior G Aaron Thompson adds 7.5 points and 3.9 dimes per game.</p>



<h2>Providence beat Georgetown to stay on the right track </h2>



<p>After postponing three straight games due to COVID-19 issues, the No. 21 Providence Friars (15-2; 11-6 ATS) returned to action last Thursday and beat the Georgetown Hoyas 83-75. The Friars failed to cover a 10-point spread in front of the home fans, but it was their tenth SU victory in the last 11 outings (8-3 ATS).</p>



<p>Providence is topping the Big East Conference with a 5-1 record. The Friars are No. 34 in the latest NCAA NET Rankings and No. 51 in the KenPom rankings. They score 110.0 points per 100 possessions (57<sup>th</sup> in the nation) and surrender 96.7 in a return (59<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Seniors Nate Watson and Aljami Durham are key guys for the Friars, who lean on a bunch of upper-classmen. Watson averages 13.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, while Durham adds 13.4 points and 3.1 assists a night.</p>



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



<p><strong>Butler:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-5 ATS in the last six games overall&nbsp;</li><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven road contests&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>5-13 ATS in the last 18 games against Providence</li></ul>



<p><strong>Providence:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-3 ATS in the last 11 games overall</li><li>5-1 ATS in the last six home games against Butler</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-butler-vs-providence-pick">Butler vs. Providence Pick</h2>



<p>The Bulldogs have been terrible over the last two weeks, so I’m backing the hosts to win and cover that big spread. It won’t be an easy task if Butler tights things up on the defensive end, but the Friars will win by 20 should the Bulldogs continue to play lousy basketball on both sides of the floor.</p>



<p>Butler’s last six losses have come by 15 or more points. Both Bulldogs and Friars prefer to play at a slow pace, so I doubt Butler’s chances to keep it close in this matchup.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Providence -9.0 at -110&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>The Friars rank 36<sup>th</sup> in the country in the opponent field goal percentage (39.8%). They should have enough weapons to deal with the Bulldogs’ slumping offense, so give me the under on the totals despite that low line at 127 points.</p>



<p>As I’ve mentioned, both teams like to take things slowly. The Bulldogs register only 63.4 possessions per 40 minutes (341<sup>st</sup> in the nation), while the Friars average 65.9 (284<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 127.0 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Here's a quick recap of the action thus far and a look ahead to this weekend's potential <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> matchups.</p>



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



<p>Alcaraz, the top seed in the tournament and recent winner of the French Open, won his opening match against Francisco Cerundolo, but then was upset 7-6 (3), 6-3 by Jack Draper in what was one of the biggest upsets of the year in the second round. Draper is now into the quarter-finals on Friday and will play fifth seed Tommy Paul, who has wins over Sebastian Baez and Alejandro Tabilo.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Alex de Minaur, the second seed in the tournament, lost his opening round match in three sets to Lorenzo Musetti, who is also into the quarter-finals after beating Brandon Nakashima in the second round. Grigor Dimitrov lost his second-round match against Sebastian Korda, which set up a wild and unexpected quarter-final.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarter-Final Rundown</h2>



<p>Jordan Thompson and Taylor Fritz met early Friday in the first of four quarter-finals with the winner advancing to play the winner of Musetti and wildcard Billy Harris who, along with Draper, is one of two Brits left in the tournament. Harris, 29, is in his first career ATP quarter-final and had just one career victory on the ATP Tour before this week. He also has a wildcard for Wimbledon.</p>



<p>Draper and Tommy Paul play in the third quarter-final on Friday and the winner will advance to the semi-finals to meet the winner of Korda and Aussie qualifier Rinky Hijikata, who has upset wins over Frances Tiafoe and Matteo Arnaldi.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Finals Predictions</h2>



<p>This tournament has been littered with upsets, so it wouldn't be surprising if that trend continues into the weekend. The most unlikely outcome would be a final between Harris, the 156th-ranked player in the world, and Hijikata, who earned one of four qualifying spots in the event. However, if <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> the outright markets, Fritz is probably your best bet - assuming he wins his early quarter-final match on Friday.</p>



<p>Fritz was 2-0 in his prior two matches against Thompson and is having one of the best seasons of his career at 26-11. He won his eighth career title at Delray Beach earlier this season and has a very favorable path to the final. This could be an all-American final too as both Paul and Korda are on the other side of the bracket. Paul and Fritz met in the final in Delray Beach earlier this season.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Finals Pick: Fritz def. Paul in three sets</p>
