Wunderdog's Best NHL Computer Picks

When you're looking at the top NHL computer picks today, you will want to pay close attention to the Vegas odds that are available. 

In my 25+ years as a sports handicapper, I have spent a large amount of that time looking at hockey matchups, and have a well above average success rate when picking these games. If you don’t want to spend time breaking down the upcoming NHL games yourself, then I am a great resource to turn to.

NHL Matchups Today: Getting the Picks

Are you ready to get some picks? That's where I come in, as I am constantly taking a look at the slate of NHL games each day.

Some NHL matchups aren’t good betting opportunities, but through my website you can find the games that seem best fit for you and your wallet. It is my job to find the best NHL matchups today and then deliver that information to help you make the best decision possible. 

If you're looking for expert handicapping and free NHL hockey picks, you'll want to sign up and get my emails sent to you directly. My expert picks take many factors into consideration and will not only help you win, but also help you learn my betting strategies. If you want more picks, a premium package is most certainly the way to go.

Following my daily NHL picks is one of the best ways to get the latest updates and most accurate picks online.

NHL Computer Picks

My hockey computer picks are one of the most popular features on my site. Generated by a computer that takes hundreds of trends and statistics into account, these free NHL computer picks calculate NHL computer predictions for puckline, along with indications of how the Total will play out. 

NHL Puckline Computer Picks

In the NHL, making predictions on the puck-line will get the most volume with online sportsbooks. While you can spend hours pouring over stats or looking to find an edge, my free hockey puckline computer picks will do all the heavy lifting for you. Some of the things I consider are: Recent form in the past 5/10/20 games, full-season statistics for each team (offensive and defensive), and even the historical matchups between rivals. Compare my data with Vegas NHL computer picks and you'll agree these are by far the best free hockey computer predictions available on the market today. 

Free NHL Computer Picks Today

My database calculates its NHL computer predictions vs. live puckline as well as Total odds from a wide combination of sources. The odds all take recent form, injuries and personnel moves, along with historical data into account. Once the odds are available with online sports betting sources, my free NHL computer picks for each day's matchups will be ready. 

NHL Playoff Computer Picks

Things really start to heat up once the NHL Playoff matchups are set, and let's not even mention Finals matchups. My hockey computer picks have you covered for every game. Some bettors simply wait until the playoffs to bet on the league, missing out on some great betting opportunities in the regular season. With that being said, if playoffs are your game then you need to compare the best NHL computer picks against the Vegas spread before placing your wagers. 

When it comes time for the NHL Playoffs, I am dialed in to give you the very best hockey computer picks. While other handicappers struggle during the playoff run, this is when I find advantages in the lines that help my clients win money. This of course includes my free NHL computer predictions. So come hockey playoff time you can always bet on the dog!

How to Win with My NHL Computer Picks

I have NHL computer picks on every single matchup and my NHL computer predictions are incredibly accurate when compared to Vegas hockey computer picks. So how are you able to take full advantage of this information?

1. Get an Overview of the Matchups

When it comes to handicapping the matchups each day, it's good to assess the big picture first. This means checking the start times, opening puckline and NHL totals, or noting games that are 'circled' - where the line was taken off the board (often due to a key injury).

2. View Computer Picks

Take a few minutes to open each NHL matchup on my computer picks screen and record the predicted score, noting the edge my projections are showing towards the puckline and the total. While these projections do not represent my official picks, they are a sound indication of where my database is highlighting a potential mismatch.

3. Check the Consensus

Along with NHL computer picks, my site offers free NHL consensus data for both the side and total. These numbers fluctuate throughout the day, and getting a feel for where the majority of public bettors are putting their money can help correlate puckline and Over/Under line moves.

4. Handicapping, Trends and Free NHL Picks

By this stage, you are already well ahead of the pack when it comes to a daily handicapping routine. You know the opening lines, have familiarized yourself with the matchups, and understand where the public money is starting to lean. It's time to take a deeper dive into the games you've identified as potential plays. Checking injury reports, trends, and situational spots (such as teams who are playing in a back-to-back), can help you narrow down your list. If you're signed up for my free NHL picks, check the writeup and prediction to see how it fits into your gameplan.

5. Pull the Trigger on my Premium NHL Picks

Now that you've assessed the situation, the next step is to book your action. Grab my premium NHL picks and unlock the door to my top picks of the day. In my 20-plus years of handicapping, I've developed a statistically-driven system for picking winners that involves power rankings, predictive models, and data analysis that has withstood the test of time. My How to Win at Sports Betting video series covers this approach and if you want to boost your handicapping skill to the next level, I strongly recommend watching it today (it's free).
