National Lacrosse League Playoff Preview & Picks: 2025-26 NLL Quarterfinals Goal props

The National Lacrosse League quarterfinals continue on Saturday and we have goal props for the three Saturday games. On Friday, I previewed each game and gave my best bets for some sides. Now, let’s take a look at my favorite player props for each of the 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.


Buffalo Bandits at Georgia Swarm

Buffalo Moneyline/Spread-110 / +1.5

I still don’t have a bet on the total or side for this one, but I like one player prop for this game. I’m on the fence whether we’ll get a low-scoring slugfest or high-scoring shootout, but love the odds for Georgia’s Shayne Jackson to score a pair of goals.

Jackson had four goals against Buffalo back in Week 1 and has scored 10 goals in his last four games against the Bandits, going over his goals prop of 1.5 in three of them. He’s had multi-goal performances in 12 of 18 games this season and 22 of his last 37 games. Righty defender Steve Priolo was also placed on IR today, so Jackson will have less to contend with on that side of the floor. Bet Shayne Jackson Over 1.5 Goals at +137 on bet365.

Pick: Shayne Jackson Over 1.5 Goals

San Diego Seals at Colorado Mammoth

San Diego Moneyline/Spread+125 / +1.5
Colorado Moneyline/Spread-160 / -1.5
Total21.5

Odds via bet365

I’ve already laid out why I like the odds for San Diego to pull off the upset and still like them at +140 on BetRivers (even though Danny Logan and both Kavanagh brothers getting ruled out is notable.) I also like two player props in this game and one is a result of the Kavanagh brothers being ruled out.

While Corey Small is back in the lineup, the righty I think could see more opportunties to score is Tre Leclaire. He had two goals against Colorado when these teams last faced (and one of them was on Mammoth starter Dillon Ward before he exited the game) and I like the odds to bet him to do so again. Leclaire has scored multiple goals in 10 of 18 games this season and was utlitized all over the floor in San Diego’s final game of the regular season, including taking some draws when Trevor Baptiste got injured. He’s a savvy two-way player and I could see him getting plenty of chances in transition or on settled five-on-five offense. Bet Tre Leclaire Over 1.5 Goals at +120 on bet365.

As for the Mammoth, Colorado’s Andrew Kew has scored at least two goals in all 14 games that he’s played. I have no idea why bet365 keeps giving him a line of just 1.5 goals, but I’ll continue to bet it until it goes away. He’s averaging 3.75 goals per game—by far the most of any other player this season. He had four goals against the Seals in the last meeting and and I like the odds to bet him to have another multi-goal game against San Diego on Saturday night. Bet two units on Andrew Kew Over 1.5 Goals at +110 on bet365.

Picks: Andrew Kew Over 1.5 Goals (2 units), Tre Leclaire Over 1.5 Goals

Toronto Rock at Saskatchewan Rush

Toronto Moneyline/Spread+120 / +1.5
Saskatchewan Moneyline/Spread-157 / -1.5
Total21.5

Odds via BetRivers

I’ve already laid out why I’m riding with the Rock on Saturday, but I also like goals props for a player on each team. For Toronto, I’m betting CJ Kirst Over 1.5 Goals at +120 on bet365. Lefty Mark Matthews is back in the lineup and should be able to create more opportuntities for Kirst and Owen Hiltz. The reason I like Kirst’s prop better for this matchup, is because he’s shown the ability to create his own shot off the dodge, particularly against Saskatchewan. He’s scored two or more goals in half of his games this season, including a hat trick against the Rush earlier in the season when Matthews played. He’s gone over this mark in nine of 16 games that Matthews was in the lineup, and I expect him to do so again in the quarterfinals.

There are many great goal prop options for Saskatchewan, but I like Robert Church’s odds the best given how productive he’s been against Toronto and the volume of shots he takes. He leads the team in shots on goal this season, averaging more than 11 per game and has six goals in two games against the Rock. He’s had 12 multi-goal games out of 18 this season and I expect him to bury a couple on Saturday, especially if the Rush get some power play chances. Bet Robert Church Over 1.5 Goals at -125 on bet365.

Picks: CJ Kirst Over 1.5 Goals, Robert Church Over 1.5 Goals
