Free NHL Spread Picks (Puck Line Betting)
In hockey, the spread is called the puck line. Favorites typically have a -1.5 puck line, meaning they must win by two or more goals for your bet to cash. Underdogs at +1.5 cover if they win outright, or lose by one goal. This bet type helps even the playing field for lopsided matchups, and is typically presented at even odds.
Free NHL Moneylines Picks
Moneyline bets are straightforward: pick the team you think will win. With our free NHL predictions for today, you can find value in underdogs and favorites alike and give yourself an advantage when betting on these games. NHL moneylines are a fantastic entry point into betting on hockey, making them a favorite of beginners.
Free NHL Totals (Over/Under) Picks
Totals betting in hockey is based on the combined number of goals scored. If the line is 6.5 and you bet the over, you’re hoping for at least seven goals in the game. The Geek’s NHL predictions use pace-of-play and goalie matchups to identify totals with the most value.
Free NHL Player Prop Picks
Our NHL player prop picks include bets like total shots, goalie saves, assists earned, or whether a player will score a goal. These picks focus on individual performances rather than team outcomes. Anytime goalscorer bets can be highly lucrative if you select the right player, so it’s always worth keeping an eye out.
How to Use NHL Consensus Spread Picks
Consensus picks show where the betting public is leaning. Using these along with NHL computer picks can help you identify what side of the contest has the most action, and find favorable odds. Whether you’re fading or siding with the public, seeing how other bettors are placing their wagers can be a massive boost to your hockey knowledge.
