NHL: Kraken ML (+185, DraftKings) at Maple Leafs

We'll start things off for the day on the ice as we usually do, and today's NHL slate is a pretty large one that gives us plenty of good options. You can see all of those options as a premium subscriber to BetQL, but we'll give you a juicy one here to wet your beak. This trend we have talked about a few times already since we started these articles, and it continues to be a great one that consistently wins us money, so why not go back to the well every time until it finally runs dry?

The Seattle Kraken are 8-2 SU on the road against teams averaging 5.0 or more assists per game this season. If you asked me why the Kraken play so well against these teams on the road, I really couldn't give you the scientific evidence for it. All I know is that this trend keeps winning us money, so I'm all for it. This time we get a very valuable +185 number on the Kraken at DraftKings. Toronto is a tough team to play, but they have lost two of their last three games against some terrible teams like the Coyotes and Blues.

The Leafs aren't unbeatable, and Seattle has been surprisingly good this season. Why not take a shot here at a large number?

NCAAB: No. 9 Gonzaga ML (-530, BetRivers) at San Francisco

Our best college hoops trends of the day are on some huge ML favorites, so today you could consider making a nice parlay to get better odds on this bet. BetRivers offers some nice bet-and-get promos for college basketball parlays, so see if you have one to take advantage of. Obviously, don't bet -530 as a straight bet; it never ends up going well at that juicy price.

Gonzaga head coach Mark Few is 13-1 SU in a road game where the total is between 155 and 159.5 while coaching the Bulldogs. These high-scoring games are where Few's team thrives, and you can see how good he is at winning games when the total is lined that high before the start of the contest. San Francisco isn't a bad team, and they sometimes are considered sleepers with how good they have been under the radar over the last couple of years. However, this trend has us up 12.35 units with a 77.2 ROI%. So, we'll figure out a way to include it today.

Make sure to take this trend into account if you want to bet on this game, as well as using all of our other handy tools at BetQL to make the best bet possible!

NBA: Grizzlies ML (-225, FanDuel) at Magic

We have a very small NBA slate tonight, a total of just four games, but we still have a very lucrative trend that you should consider betting into. This is another large ML, and maybe this could be the perfect basketball parlay for tonight. Gonzaga ML + Grizzlies ML. If you parlay those at DraftKings, you get -135 odds, and that isn't taking into account any available boosts you might have.

Memphis head coach Taylor Jenkins is 32-11 SU in January games while coaching the Grizzlies. His teams really start to take flight this time of the year, and while the Grizzlies have been really good recently, they thrive in the month of January. This could be a great lay piece, so consider taking Memphis tonight as part of your parlay.
