Game Analysis

(#16) Detroit Red Wings | ML | . 

I'm not the biggest fan of the Ottawa Senators this season. Like I mentioned in my article prior to the season beginning, "the Senators lost Brady Tkachuk in the offseason to the Florida Panthers." He was a massive reason on why the Senators had success a year ago. This will also be the second game of the B2B for Ottawa, and not for Detroit. 

The Red Wings lost a couple of players too. But, they are still loaded with talent. This is the perfect game for Alex DeBrincat to get on the scoreboard with a goal for the first time this season after recording 41 last season & 39 in the season prior. Give me the Red Wings at home and with the rest advantage. 

Burns' Prediction: 4-2 Detroit.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR MONDAY, 10/5:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. Take the Toronto Maple Leafs with the money-line versus the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Toronto (1-2-0) has lost two of their first three games this season after a 3-2 loss in overtime against Ottawa on Saturday. The Maple Leafs stay at home where they have still won 46 of their last 75 games when favored. They have also won 36 of their last 63 games against teams from the Western Conference. Nashville (1-1-0) won their first game of the season on Saturday with a 2-1 win at home against Dallas. But the Predators have lost 13 of their last 20 road games after winning their last game. They have also lost 18 of their last 28 games on the road with the Total set at 6 or higher. Take Toronto with the money-line. Best of luck — Frank.

Soccer | Canada vs United States
Play on: Canada 0½ +102 at Bovada
Game Analysis

Our selection is on Canada to cover the goal spread against the United States of America on Tuesday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

This is a big rivalry in other sports like hockey. Soccer is becoming one as well.

Canada has improved it's FIFA ranking to 27th in the world which is great for the country after a solid WC showing.

The game is held in the states. But, that shouldn't be too much of a worry for Canada who are just next door.

USA had similar results in the World Cup and allowed two goals against Chile in a recent friendly.

Canada allowed zero goals in that game.

The play is on Canada.
