NHL Picks and Predictions: Florida Panthers at New Jersey Devils

NHL Picks and Predictions – Florida Panthers at New Jersey Devils

One of my greatest hockey memories came last season… Game Seven, double overtime, first round of the playoffs. Thousands of dollars on the line, a beautiful girl beside me, in Florida at the game in enemy territory when Adam Henrique buried the game winning goal, pushing the Devils through the first round and ultimately to the Stanley Cup.

Martin Brodeur has 665 wins. This could be historic win number 666 – the Devils’ number, and the Devils’ goalie. I don’t think mere Panthers, struggling this year and banged up considerably,  ... 

NHL Picks and Predictions: Washington Capitals at Winnipeg Jets

NHL Picks and Predictions – Featured Game: Washington Capitals (+125) at Winnipeg Jets

The Jets are great at home, but they’re not a deep team. I don’t think they’re very talented offensively, and their goaltending is extremely streaky. On home ice they play well, but against the perennial playoff team in the south.

If Pavelec comes to play, this is a tough pick. The Jets defense is big and physical and they can wear down the Caps’ awesome top six.

Holtby, however, has been just as hot for the Caps in net. The Capitals are desperate, and they’re playing better since  ... 

MLB Preseason Picks and Predictions: Yankees Blue Jays Highlights Change in Baseball

MLB Predictions

AL East:

New York Yankees:  Okay, this is my homer pick of the season, but we always say the Red Sox, or this year the Blue Jays, are going to catch the Yankees.  This is a playoff team, injuries and all, and I think they’ll win the division while the Blue Jays reassemble a bunch of losing players. Toronto Blue Jays:  The Blue Jays reassembled a bunch of losing players from other teams, and suddenly everyone has them as the favorite to win this division.  I think they finish just behind the Yankees, held back by their pitching and lack of chemistry. Tampa Bay Rays:  Great coaching, good pitching, and a decent core group of players will have the Rays in contention.  With the new 5th wild card spot, they have a chance to compete after Texas lost some of their best players out west. Baltimore Orioles:  Good coaching again will keep the Orioles in it, but last  ... 

NHL Picks and Predictions, New York Rangers at Winnipeg Jets

NHL Featured Game: New York Rangers Vs Winnipeg Jets

The New York Rangers better be pissed off. I’m pissed off at the New York Rangers, so the New York Rangers better be at least half as pissed off about their loss to Buffalo as I am, or I’ll be even more pissed off. The Rangers sucked. Their coach said they sucked. They need to be better… and they will be.

The Winnipeg Jets won’t go down without a fight. This team is heating up, smelling the bottom seed of the playoffs. Their fans are ravenous, they’re great at home, their  ... 

NHL Picks and Predictions: New York Rangers at Buffalo Sabres

NHL Featured Game – New York Rangers at Buffalo Sabres

I’m not sure about the interpretation of the data by the Z-Code recommendation algorithm. My system, fueled by Z-Code parameters, sees value in this game. Z-Code, with four stars and 63% confidence, for some reason recommends avoiding this game. Perhaps it is the result of a late line being posted.

The New York Rangers are the better team, while the Sabres are slumping and likely the worst team in the conference this year. The Sabres are going with their backup goalie coming off injury and another heartbreaking loss. He  ... 

Brain Trick : Overvaluing short term results

The more and more I study cappers and betting cycles psycology, the more I see the same repeating pattern. There is a trick that brain is playing on us, which is the root cause to all major problems such as

Procrastination: You check your emails every 5 minutes, check twitter and facebook, already checked all possible funny cats, but still cant get yourself together to finally do the damn job.

Not seeing the big picture : even if you have a proven backtested system, winning nearly every single day, just one bad day puts you in a state of shock.
