Sports Betting Trends For Thursday, Feb. 16
If you bet our trends page, you know that we started the week slowly, but yesterday brought a 3-0 sweeper with Rangers -1.5, Tennessee ML and Thunder ML to get us back on track for a winning week. Let's do our best tonight to pick some more trends that will put us in the winners circle once again.
Remember, these trends don't take into account how high a line might be priced. Some trends may have a huge moneyline associated with them. In that case, I recommend pairing that team with the trend on them with another, for a small two-team parlay. Most sportsbooks have parlay boosts as well, so you can still get value.

Canadiens at Hurricanes NHL Betting Trend
Let's start out on the ice, where we see the Montreal Canadiens taking on the Carolina Hurricanes. This is going to be a pretty disgusting one, but we do have a very good ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Canadiens trend with a huge 179 ROI%. Montreal is frequently an underdog, so you are almost always getting plus-money with the Canadiens, and they are getting a massive number tonight.
Head coach Martin St. Louis is 6-1 SU in the second half of the season against teams outscoring opponents by at least 0.5 goals per game while coaching the Canadiens. That's a very good record against these good teams, and it is no wonder we have made 12.55 units on this trend alone off just six wins. Huge plus-money bets for each cashed, so let's see if that trend can continue tonight.

Purdue at Maryland NCAAB Betting Trend
We have a decent college basketball slate today and at least one game where I think we see an upset when Purdue visits Maryland. The Terrapins have a great trend on them in this game, and not only that, but the sharp money is all over Maryland to upset the No. 3-ranked Boilermakers.
Maryland is 9-1 SU at home the last two seasons against teams forcing fewer than 12.0 turnovers per game. The Terps have been great at home against teams that can't pressure their opponents into turnovers, and Purdue hasn't had much success with that all season. Plus, just look at this line and where it is moving. Why is unranked Maryland just a +1 underdog to the No. 3-ranked team in the country? The line also has moved from +2.5 to +1 overnight.

Wizards at Timberwolves NBA Betting Trend
A very, very small three-game NBA slate tonight, but we are going to find a good trend regardless. We found one on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight as they take on the Washington Wizards at home. Honestly, neither team is really that good, but the advantage lies with the favorite tonight, according to BetQL's trends page, so make sure to take that into account when betting tonight.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 10-1 SU at home when avenging a loss this season. The Timberwolves have almost always made up for a loss earlier in the season, and that is a big reason why they are hovering around .500 on the season so far. Minnesota lost, 142-127, at Washington in November and will be looking for revenge on the Wizards tonight.
