Free Daily NHL Expert Picks

To beat the oddsmakers at night you have to carefully analyze the matchups during the day. NHL matchups on the ice are an important building block of hockey handicapping. It requires knowing team strengths and weaknesses, such as offensive potential, styles of play, and defensive capabilities. It also means knowing about individual players and how they work within each system, such as their turnover ratios, role players, and whether they're physical or fast. Matchups, however, are just one component of the handicapping ladder.

Why Use Free Daily NHL Expert Picks

Collecting information and news surrounding each NHL game allows one to better predict what will happen on the ice. It's not a crystal ball into the future, of course, but paints a deeper understanding of how teams will perform against each other. Injuries can bring a great team a few notches down, home ice can give a boost to squads with losing records, while long road trips can chip away at any team's defensive prowess. All of this is then compared to what numbers the oddsmakers have assigned to each game. The more information you examine, the better your ability to juggle expected outcomes to the posted NHL odds.

Betting Value in Free Daily NHL Expert Picks

All of that leads to wagering value. If one of the best defensive teams in the NHL is suddenly playing below-average defense, try and see if there are reasons for it. Maybe the coach has had to adjust his lines on defense because of nagging injuries, or maybe they're wearing down during a difficult road trek. Perhaps a team that has struggled on offense in the first half of the season is scoring more goals because of an influx of young talent from the minors. Identifying the reasons for changes in team play helps a savvy handicapper zone in on the best betting value, such as underdogs, totals, and player props.

How To Win With Daily Expert Daily NHL Picks

There are two ways to approach finding winners. One is to acquire various information about a game and then assess what the final score is going to be. The other is to examine the different kinds of wagering options the oddsmaker has posted. Don't simply focus on whether the favorite or the underdog is likely to win. Examine all the other betting choices available, such as NHL Over/Unders, team totals, pucklines, parlays, and NHL props. The oddsmakers may have the right number on the favorite, but the superior betting option is with a low-scoring final that should sail UNDER the posted total. Put your money down based on your head, not your heart.

NHL Underdogs

Favorites should not be the bulk of your hockey wagering. The average bettor loves backing favorites but during the week, you'll find upsets happen all the time on the ice. Not being afraid of backing NHL underdogs is the way to build a betting bankroll. Gathering information and assessing properly are the keys to identifying the reasons why a potential upset will occur. Even the best teams get upset by weaker squads. Factors beyond stats can come into play, such as revenge, rivalries, situations, home/road performance, and let-down spots.

Changes On and Off the Ice

Over the course of a long NHL season, teams will make all kinds of adjustments. That's why a successful handicapper needs to dig deep and constantly keep up with hockey news. Coaches get fired and a team can respond very differently to the new coach. It's more important to examine the recent stats since the coaching change was made instead of the overall season numbers. Coaches make line changes, too, based on what they see in practice. They'll make adjustments to try and get more production from the third and fourth lines, for instance, by adding young players just up from the minors or veterans acquired in trades.

Overreaction

Oddsmakers factor in what the average hockey fan thinks is going to happen. Keep in mind that the average fan prefers high-scoring games and the favorites. If a mediocore team has won five in a row, oddsmakers are going to start giving that team more respect. But an astute handicapper needs to step back and ask: "Has this team really turned a corner? Or is this five-game win streak more of an anomaly?" If they just beat five weak teams during that streak it's unlikely they've turned a corner. Of, if four of those five games were at home, they're likely to come back to earth because they're playing seven of the next 10 on the road. Assess upcoming games not on what happened yesterday, but by thinking about the larger picture.
