Good Afternoon!
|
Coop's framing this week is that breakouts do not all arrive on schedule, and he's right: Amon-Ra St. Brown was unstartable until Week 13 of his rookie year. There is still plenty of season left to get ahead of one. The urgent news, though, is Terry McLaurin, who has torn a patellar tendon and is gone for the year. Then tonight brings an NHL doubleheader on ESPN, which is where both exclusives live.
Here's what you need to know today.

TODAY'S EXCLUSIVE PICKS

Mark Lammey
NHL TOTAL PICK
|
Sabres vs. Sharks
Over 6.5 (-115)
There's not another Sports Equinox tonight, but we have an awesome NHL slate with an ESPN doubleheader. We're closing out the slate with a pick that we love that doesn't require much critical thinking at all: Buffalo and San Jose are two of the worst defensive teams that also feature great guys for scoring in terms of Tage Thompson and Macklin Celebrini. Let's not even worry about a winner and just root for goals in the nightcap.

Howard Bender
NHL SHOTS PROP

Matthew Schaefer (NYI)
Over 3.5 Shots On Goal
Shaefer leads all blie-liners in both attempts and shots on goal this season. He's facing a Predators team that has allowed the seventh-most shots on goal this season and are allowing shots on goal to defensemen at an alarming rate; bottom-10 in the league actually. Schaefer has faced five teams that rank in the bottom-12 and has had at least five shots on goal in those matchups. For plus-money, we'll lock in Schaefer's shots tonight.

Coop's Week 8 wire is above with risers and fallers beside it, and Pistons-Knicks and World Series Game 4 cover tonight. The headline is Terry McLaurin, whose torn patellar tendon ends his season and pushes Chig Okonkwo and Antonio Williams up the board; Omar Cooper Jr is the one name worth half your FAAB. Both exclusives are on the ice: Mark just wants goals in San Jose between two of the leakiest defenses in the league, and Howard likes Matthew Schaefer for four or more shots on goal. Good luck tonight.
