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.
So far this season, our individual picks are 11-4 and we’ve hit two of five parlays for a total profit of +9.145 units and an ROI of +51.67% this season. We skipped a lighter slate last week, but are ready to tell you what to bet for NLL Week 7.
Toronto Rock at Buffalo Bandits
Brad Taschuk
A nightmare start for the Rock doesn’t get any easier as the season moves into 2025. Toronto heads down the QEW to take on the undefeated, back-to-back champion Bandits. Buffalo’s defense and the ageless Matt Vinc are averaging under 7 goals against per game, and they’re facing a Toronto offense which is dead last in the league at 7.25 goals scored per game. With Mark Matthews added to Toronto’s extensive IR, this doesn’t look like the week the Rock offense breaks out. However, this is still a Toronto defense that has posted top-10 all-time goals against averages over each of the past three years and will be buoyed by the return of captain Challen Rogers. I think they do enough to keep this one from getting out of hand, and the game ends up under 22.5.
Pick: Under 22.5
Las Vegas Desert Dogs at Saskatchewan Rush
Brian Andrews
The Saskatchewan Rush haven’t really run away from anyone, even struggling defenses like the Thunderbirds or Knighthawks. They win gritty, close games and rely on stopping the other team’s offense to win. While the Desert Dogs have struggled on defense (particularly with penalties), holding the FireWolves to 11 is a step in the right direction. Both teams have almost identical scoring output so far this season so this will come down to the Desert Dogs backend making saves and staying out of the box. Bet Las Vegas +2.5 at – 125 on DraftKings.
Pick: Las Vegas Desert Dogs +2.5
Albany FireWolves at Colorado Mammoth
Matt Brignati
I’m once again going back to the Albany FireWolves. They’re sitting at 1-4 and have lost their last three games, but I love this spot for them. The Firewolves have lost 3 games this year by one goal and in their loss to the Thunderbirds where they lost by four they had a large six-goal lead. This team has had trouble finishing games, but they’re due for a close game to go their way. They’ve been won or lost by one in every game this season except for one, so I recommend betting Albany +1.5 in what should be a huge motivational spot for them.
Pick: Albany FireWolves +1.5
