Free NHL Picks For Thursday December 16, 2021
Sabres vs. Wild (8:00pm ET)
DOG OF THE DAY: The Sabres are the best underdog bet of the day today, with DimersBOT detecting an edge on both their moneyline and puck line odds. For this play, we're taking the plus money puck line that our model has a 52.3% chance of cashing.
Buffalo won its last game, and lost the two before that by just one goal each time.
BET: Sabres +1.5 (+105)
Avalanche vs. Predators (8:00pm ET)
BEST OVER/UNDER: Avs? Over. We're again taking the Over in a Colorado game, with the odds in a good spot after two slightly lower scoring games from them.
BET: COL/NSH o6 goals (-105)
Senators vs. Lightning (7:00pm ET)
BEST FAVORITE: The Bolts come against an in-form Senators team here but they're the most likely team on the slate to win by 2+ goals!
They've been poor of late, but two of their last three games have come by 2+ goals and they should be able to that again back in their home stadium tonight.
BET: Bolts -1.5 (-105)
