Welcome to the Full Field Ride, a compilation of our contributors’ best bets for this week! Each week, we’ll give out picks from three or more different games that you can bet on their own and/or include in a parlay.
We hit a +589 parlay in Week 1 and, while we missed our Week 2 parlay by one leg, our individual bets have gone 5-1 and our profit currently sits at more than five units! Let’s take a look at what we’re betting in NLL Week 3.
Las Vegas Desert Dogs at Philadelphia wings
Hutton jackson
Las Vegas has struggled on defense through two games and Landon Kells continues to be streaky. The Philly offense looked great against a competent defense in Week 1 and should have success against a thin Desert Dogs defense. On the other end, Nick Damude and the Wings defense did not look good in their season opener and the same issues that have plagued them defensively in recent seasons continue to persist, particularly in transition. Las Vegas has found most of their offensive success on fast breaks this year and should be able to exploit Philly enough to push this game over 23.5 (-115 BetMGM).
Pick: Over 23.5
Calgary Roughnecks at Albany FireWolves
Brian Andrews
We mentioned in Week 1 that unders were unusually frequent last year and this year we would be targeting games we thought were lower than they should be. The Firewolves held the Rush to nine goals and a banged-up Rock team to just four goals so far this year, which is clearly pushing the line down. However, this line severely discounts both the offensive strength of the veteran forward unit of the Roughnecks, who put up 18 against the Thunderbirds. While 18 will likely become an outlier in their scoring production this season, 10 goals should be a reasonable expectation for this veteran group. Meanwhile, the Roughnecks are still trying to find themselves on defense after giving up 17 goals to the Thunderbirds. The young, fast offense of the Firewolves should be able to find the back of the net early and often in this matchup. Since the Roughnecks showed that they can’t be counted out of any contest against the Thunderbirds, but are still a little unproven, I’m going with the over 22.5 rather than a side this week.
Pick: Over 22.5
Toronto Rock at Georgia Swarm
Matt Brignati
I am once again fading the Toronto Rock, who have had an awful start to the season. They’ve failed to put up more than five goals in either of their first two games. Georgia, on the other hand, held San Diego to a goal over the last 30 minutes en route to an impressive 13-12 win. Toronto is also going to be likely missing Chris Corbeil, Tom Schreiber, Challen Rogers, Latrell Harris and TD Ierlan for this game. I expect Swarm goalie Brett Dobson to play well against a struggling Rock offense and lead Georgia to a 2-0 start to the season.
Pick: Georgia Swarm ML
