Week 14 in the National Lacrosse League is packed with 10 games as six teams play twice this weekend. We start of with four game son Friday and I have best bets for three of those games.
Note: The odds presented below are those at the time when Hutton sends his picks out on the Action App and are subject to change.
Georgia Swarm at Philadelphia Wings
 Georgia Moneyline/Spread | -220 / -1.5 |
 Philadelphia Moneyline/Spread | +170 / +1.5 |
| Total | 21.5 |

The Georgia Swarm face the Philadelphia Wings in their first of two matchups this weekend. The Swarm odds are a bit too short for my liking, even if I think they end up winning. Instead, I’d rather bet the total for this first meeting.
I’m going to just keep betting Georgia Swarm unders until they give me a reason not to. Brett Dobson has all but locked up the Goaltender of the Year award, allowing an average of just 7.03 goals per game. He hasn’t allowed more than nine goals since Week 1! And now they’re drawing a Wings offense that has the second-lowest goals per game average and just traded away faceoff specialist Nick Rowlett.
Now, Georgia could put up some goals on Philly, but the Swarm offense isn’t much more productive with the fifth-fewest goals per game and I trust the Wings netminder Nick Damude to hold his own. Turst the defenses in this one and bet Under 21.5 at -110 on FanDuel or TheScore Bet.
Pick: Under 21.5
Saskatchewan Rush at Buffalo Bandits
 Saskatchewan Moneyline/Spread | -130 / -1.5 |
 Buffalo Moneyline/Spread | +100 / +1.5 |
| Total | 20.5 |
| Time | Friday · `7:30 p.m. ET |

Odds via DraftKings
The Buffalo Bandits host the Saskatchewan Rush in a rematch of last year’s NLL Finals. The Rush have looked far superior this season, but I’m expecting the defending champions to keep it close. Despite their losing record, I do still believe Buffalo can make a playoff push, even if I’m not as convinced they’ll hoist their fourth straight Champions Cup.
Instead of betting a side, I’m looking towards the total. I’m not expecting these teams to necessarily light the scoreboard up, but this total is still a few points too low in my opinion. While the last three meetings between these teams in the NLL Finals hovered around this total, all three went over 20.5.
Furthermore, the Rush are averaging the most goals per game at 12.5. While they’re only allowing 9.1 goals per game, I think Buffalo’s playing style could get the better of this Rush defense. Additionally, the injury report lists Saskatchewan starting goalie Frank Scigliano and defenders Holden Garlent and Bobby Kidd III as questionable. While I’d expect all three to suit up, with them not being 100%, this Buffalo offense could have an easier time doing their part to push this total over. Bet Over 20.5 at -120 on DraftKings.
Pick: Over 20.5
Vancouver Warriors at Las Vegas Desert Dogs
 Vancouver Moneyline/Spread | -162 / -1.5 |
 Las Vegas Moneyline/Spread | +132 / +1.5 |
| Total | 21.5 |
| Time | Friday · 10:30 p.m. ET |
| TV | ESPN+ |
Odds via FanDuel
In a rematch from earlier in the season, we get the Vancouver Warriors travelling to face the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. This total opened at 22.5 but has moved to 21.5 at some sportsbooks. I understand the defensive pedigree of Vancouver makes the under enticing, but I’m expecting this rematch to go over once again.
Las Vegas is allowing the highest amount of goals per game at 12.9 and gave up 15 to the Warriors when they last played. Six of their nine games have gone over this mark, including the last meeting between these teams. I also trust the Desert Dogs to be able to do their part in pushing this total over. Their offense is averaging the second-most goals per game at 12.3, and were able to still put up nine on Christian Del Bianco despite it only being this revamped roster’s first game together. Bet this game to go Over 21.5 at -115 on FanDuel.
Pick: Over 21.5
2025-26 NLL Season Best Bets: 35-30 for +7.765 units (ROI +11.79%)
