Hockey Betting Lines

The first goal of the game went to New York on the power play when Michael Del Zotto sprung Gaborik on a breakaway and he buried a wrister at the 8:34 mark.

 

The second period nearly went scoreless, but Phoenix scored with 51.2 seconds left in the frame on the power play as O'Reilly banged it in with traffic in front.

Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Patrik Elias' second goal of the game made him the franchise leader in goals for New Jersey and also was the game-winner as the Devils took a 5-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Elias' second goal of the game was the 348th of his career, moving him past John MacLean for the top spot in Devils history and spoiling the debut of new Montreal head coach Randy Cunneyworth.

 

Petr Sykora and Dainius Zubrus each had a goal and an assist while David Clarkson also scored for the Devils, who have won a season-high four straight. Martin Brodeur turned aside 23 shots.

 

"We went out and did a lot of good things early on," said Subban. "We got ourselves the lead, but we took a few too many penalties. Eventually with the power play they have, they're going to find something, which they did."

 

Skating on the power play, the Devils took a 5-3 lead when Zubrus busted in through the middle and beat Price with a high wrister at the 10:18 mark.

 

Brodeur stopped nine shots in the final frame to cap the win.

 

Montreal tied the game 2:21 into the second on the power play thanks to a one- timer from Subban at the top of the left circle.

 

Elias, though, tied MacLean's record 2 1/2 minutes later with a power-play marker as Ilya Kovalchuk, from the top of the left circle, saw Elias streaking in down the right side and snuck a pass over there for the easy redirect.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
