Monday night Football GAME OF THE YEAR Headlines tonight backed with 3 Undefeated Long term MNF Specific Power System and a 100% Angle. NHL Comp Play below
The NHL Comp play is on Minnesota tonight at 10:07 eastern. The Wild have won all 4 meetings here in Seattle and catch the Kraken with poor current form as they have dropped 5 straight. The Kraken are also in a tough system here that plays against home dogs of 130 or less that are off a home dog loss vs an opponent with a wining record that is off back to backs losses with the last loss as a road favorite. The Kraken have lost 5 of 6 as a home dog. Look for Minnesota to get this one. GL Rob V-
This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER Lightning/Leafs.
As being primarily a situational capper, I love the way this one sets up to be more of a wide-open shootout, rather than a lower-scoring goaltenders battle, and that's why I like the OVER.
This is the first game of the year between these clubs and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks.
Tampa bay is 16-10-2 overall, including 8-3-2 on the road, while Toronto is 13-11-4 overall, including 8-4-4 at home.
The Lightning have a tough game at Montreal tomorrow night, so they'll have to be careful to not get caught looking ahead.
The Bolts are off three straight losses as well, most recently a 2-0 setback at home to the Islanders, so they'll clearly be motivated here to get this difficult road trip started off with a lot more energy. One thing that's interesting though, is that dating back to last year the Lightning have in fact seen the total go OVER the number in five of their last six following a shutout home loss as a favorite.
Overall the Lightning average 3.3 goals per game, which ranks eight, while allowing 2.6, which ranks sixth, while Toronto averages 3.5 goals per game, ranked third, while allowing 3.4, ranked 24th.
Whoever gets the start in net here, as they're still undecided completely as of writing this, is going to be in for a serious workout in my estimation.
The bottom line here is that I expect a faster pace to lead to more shots and for that to lead to more goals.
So the play is on the OVER.
Good luck, NP
1* Free Pick on Eagles/Chargers under 42
3* on over
Head-to-Head History
Chargers have historically owned the series, but the only prior meeting in Los Angeles went to Philadelphia 26-24.
Most recent matchup: 2021 in Philadelphia → Chargers won 27-24.
Chargers have taken 3 of the last 4 meetings overall.
Last 4 H2H games all finished with both teams scoring 24+ points (average total: 53.5 PPG).
Recent trend: 6-1 to the Over between these franchises (though the sample is old).
Current Records & Betting Trends
Both teams enter 8-4 straight up.
Eagles: 7-5 ATS | 4-2 ATS on the road | 2-2 ATS last 4 | 3-3 O/U on road
Chargers: 6-6 ATS | 4-2 ATS at home | 6-6 O/U overall
Chargers have won & covered their last 3 home games.
Eagles have lost & failed to cover their last 2 games.
Team-Level Performance
Chargers rank as a solidly average offense and one of the league’s better scoring defenses (top-8 in points allowed).
Eagles’ offense has cratered over the last month, averaging just 15.5 PPG over the L4, while the defense has carried them (allowing 16.0 PPG in that span).
Key Injuries
Eagles: OUT – DT Jalen Carter (massive loss to interior pass rush & run defense), RT Lane Johnson (Eagles are historically poor without him protecting Hurts’ blindside; OL run-blocking also suffers).
Chargers: Justin Herbert is expected to play. RB Omarion Hampton is also expected back — big boost to a ground game that has been solid.
Matchup Angles
Eagles got gashed for 200+ rushing yards by Chicago last week. The Chargers, with a healthy Hampton and Herbert’s play-action threat, should be able to exploit that softness on the ground.
Conversely, the Chargers rank bottom-10 against the run. If Saquon Barkley and the Eagles can re-establish the run game, it should open the RPO and play-action game for Jalen Hurts — an area where Hurts has historically feasted on the road.
With Jalen Carter sidelined, Herbert should have cleaner pockets and more time to attack downfield against an Eagles secondary that can be had when the pass rush disappears.
Bottom Line
This has all the makings of a competitive, relatively high scoring affair despite the low total (41.5). Both offenses have clear paths to success on the ground, which should loosen up the passing games and keep the clock moving less than usual. The last four meetings all cleared 48+ points, and the personnel/matchup weaknesses line up for both sides to reach the 20s again.
Play: Over 41.5
