NHL & NBA Edge
In today’s newsletter, we’re scratching the itch for our NBA readers with a few partner trends at the end of the newsletter, but we’re going to focus mainly on NHL faceoff, and we’ll reshift our focus Thursday to the NBA & NFL. All 32 NHL teams are in action tonight, and we’ve got a trend for all 16 games!
Each trend highlights the top EDGE performer on the Props.Cash app for that game — and in this case, they all happened to be shots on goal or goalie saves. These trends represent the largest difference between the betting line and the player’s projection, meaning they carried the highest EDGE on the slate.
Let’s do this.
