NHL Odds: Lightning-Bruins on NBCSN

Bruins Look to Stop Hot Lightning

The 16-5-2 Tampa Bay Lightning (+700) wrap up a four-game road trip this Wednesday against the 10-8-4 Boston Bruins. NBCSN has the coverage from the Garden beginning at 7:30 PM ET. After rocketing to the top of the Stanley Cup futures market the Lighting hope the Bruins don't put a halt to a great run.

Oddsmakers have the Bruins as -115-moneyline favorites and the total is at 6.

The Lightning missed the playoffs last year. Having All-Star center Steven Stamkos (10 goals, 26 assists in 23 games) back in the lineup has made a world of difference. Tampa Bay has been blessed by good health thus far. The Bruins have six players on the shelf at press time. They are just ravished with injuries.

That includes last year’s top scorer, LW Brad Marchand. He has eight goals, seven assists in 14 games. He’s iffy for Wednesday after missing over two weeks with an undisclosed upper-body injury.

Boston will have the advantage of rest in this matchup. The Lightning also had to play Tuesday in Buffalo. Andrei Vasilevskiy  has .930 save percentage and is projected to play for Tampa Bay. Veteran netminder Tuukka Rask has a .899 SV%. He is expected to suit up for the Bruins. Rask, a former Vezina winner, is having the worst season of his career. He could lose his job to Anton Khudobin, who as a .932 SV%.

MNF Preview: Ravens host the Texans

Ravens Look to Dispose of Texans for Playoff Push

The Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens will meet on ESPN Monday night for Monday Night Football. The game is being played at M&T Bank Stadium and kickoff is set for 8:30 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Ravens as -7.5-point favorites versus the Texans, while the game's total opened at 38. The total has since eased up to 39.

The Ravens thrive under the bright lights. They can also strengthen their position in the AFC playoff race with a victory over the Houston Texans. Since coach John Harbaugh took over the team in 2008, Baltimore has gone 11-1 in night games. That is by far the best mark in the NFL. The Ravens have also won nine consecutive prime-time matchups.

Baltimore won its last outing, a 23-0 result against the Green Bay Packers on November 19. The Ravens covered in that game as a -2.5-point favorite, while the 23 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Baltimore holds the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC. They have not played at M&T Bank Stadium since a 44-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 26. The Ravens have a chance to win consecutive games for the first time since the opening two weeks of the season.

Texans Looking to Stay Relevant

Houston was a 31-21 winner in its last match at home against the Arizona Cardinals. They covered the -2.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 52 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

The Texans are trying to stay afloat without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice earlier this month. Tom Savage will get his fifth start of the season against a Ravens' secondary that leads the NFL with 16 interceptions.

Savage lost his first two starts when Watson went down with the injury. He was better last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He went 22 of 32 for 230 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

South Carolina Hosts 3rd-Ranked Clemson In Palmetto Bowl

'Cocks Look to Destroy CFP Hopes for Clemson

The fans at Williams-Brice Stadium will see the Palmetto Bowl, between the 3rd-ranked Clemson Tigers and the 24th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday night.

Both teams have qualified for bowl games. South Caronlina sure would love to ruin Clemson's national championship playoff dreams for 2017.

Oddsmakers have the Tigers as a 13.5-point favorite. The total is at 46.5.

Dabo Swinney won his first game as Clemson's interim head coach against Boston College midway through the 2008 season. He was thinking only of the next game at that point in his career. Less than 10 years later he can earn his 100th career victory on Saturday night.

A victory against the Gamecocks would make him only the fourth coach to win 100 games in his first 10 years. Swinney would be joining a select group that includes Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer and Chris Peterson.

South Carolina Looks for Better in 2017 Palmetto Bowl

South Carolina lost last year's game at Clemson. They lost it badly, 56-7. The Gamecocks were a 6-6 team under first-year coach Will Muschamp. This year the team has built a solid-team with an 8-3 record by winning five of its last six games.

The Gamecocks rely on a solid run defense to keep games close. They then hope that sophomore quarterback Jake Bentley can make some plays.

South Carolina is playing for an attractive bowl bid and and upsetting Clemson pads that resume.

Clemson Still has Swarming Defense

Clemson boasts a deep and talented defense. The squad ranks second nationally in sacks, third in scoring defense, sixth in tackles for loss. They are seventh in total defense.

The team has a diverse offense that again ranks among the best in the nation. This, despite losing quarterback Deshaun Watson and other offensive stars off last season's national championship team.

Kelly Bryant makes the Tigers go from the QB position. The Junior is blessed with a ton of weapons. Wide receivers Deon Cain, Hunter Renfrow and Ray-Ray McCloud stretch the field. While big-play running backs Travis Etienne and Tavien Feaster pound you in the middle.
