NHL Best Bets Feb 29/24

An article that can written once every four years, why? That is because today is February 29, leap day. No video today because of timing but I have an article of some picks for you all to dive in on.

We start in Tampa Bay with a battle between the Lighting and the Sabres, where both teams are coming off losses on Tuesday to Florida and Philadelphia respectfully. I picked this game because of a bounce-back element I feel with one of these teams and if you saw the cover photo for this piece you already know who I think will bounce back. I am of course talking about Tampa Bay, They had a bad effort against a Flyers team on Tuesday and for as much as I admire the Sabres, this is a spot where not only do I see Tampa winning but by at least 2-3 goals. Tampa -1.5 you’re up. Plus Tampa hasn’t lost to Buffalo at home since February 2018.

Saturday was a night of trauma as both Vegas And Boston blew 2-0 and cost us a nice payday so the feelings of me towards them are that of a broken man. However this is a game that the second I saw the odds, one thing stuck out to me, and that was, why is Vegas such a big underdog for their standards at +140? Now they are coming off an impressive showing by beating Toronto 6-2 and ending their 7-game winning streak where they played their first game at home coming off a western road swing and that is what Boston is doing here as well, where the B’s are playing their first home game in 10 days, now I think Vegas goes 2/2 on teams coming back from out west and since I am too much of a bitch to take ML I will take Vegas +1.5

This parlay on FanDuel is available for +280 odds where $15 pays out $41.95 if it hits, good luck and take a leap of faith with me.

Hi, my name is Griff and I'm a complete sports nut. I love to play sports, watch sports and most importantly bet on sports too. If I'm not watching or betting on sports, you can find me on the golf course, between the pipes as your average beer league goaltender. Although sports take up most of my life, I also love spending time with my two dogs, streaming usually a 90's Simpson's or attempting to read more books.
