NHL Saturday Picks, Trends, Predictions for 10/19
Let’s delve into the first of these insights: the ‘Well Rested Visiting Favorite’ PRO System, which is our top-rated NHL betting trend.
Here, we bet road favorites who have had 3 or 4 days of rest, against an opposing team that didn’t reach the postseason last year.
These moneyline favorites have been traditionally cheap, cashing at 64%.
These two teams match the bill for NHL Saturday, and therefore are suggested picks.
Well Rested Visiting Favorite predictions:
- Wild to beat Blue Jackets
- Bruins to beat Utah Hockey Club
