00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.
00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I'm joined by Matt Horner and we have an NHL-on-Boost for
00:11all of you today on Alex Ovechkin to score a goal and record an assist boosted to plus
00:18$5.50 at Caesars.
00:19Matt, what do you think of this boost?
00:21Well, as we know, Alex Ovechkin is in the race to take down Gretzky for the most goals
00:28ever.
00:29He's nearing there.
00:30He's got 22 goals this season.
00:32He's the leading goal scorer for the Capitals, who really aren't that fantastic of an offense,
00:36but they have such a great defense that they can score three goals a game and they can
00:40still win.
00:41I mean, they're 34-11-5, which is fantastic.
00:45And I gave out a future on them earlier this season to win the Metro, so hopefully you
00:48guys took that for ridiculous odds.
00:51They're facing the Senators tonight.
00:52The Senators actually, shockingly, have a good defense for once.
00:57They're allowed 27 shots per game and 2.70 goals per game.
01:02Very rare for the Senators.
01:03The Senators' defense is usually horrendously bad and they're goaltending awful, but they
01:07traded for Linus Ulmark from the Bruins, who I'm sure you know very well, and he has been
01:13performing quite good for them.
01:15But Ovechkin, even though he's super old now, he's still the main focus for their offense,
01:21so he's going to get his shots on goals, certainly.
01:24I'd worry much more about the assist, as we know Ovechkin's much more of a goal scorer
01:27than he is getting an assist, but it's not impossible here.
01:31So if you want to take maybe a quarter unit, something like that on this, I wouldn't mind.
01:36Very nice.

02:27Favorite bets for today.
02:28If you do follow me on social media, you will see that I have won two hockey bets, three
02:34out of four in the past two days.
02:37And last night I won both of them.
02:39That was Wild Moneyline and Panthers Moneyline, and tonight I am keeping that going with Bruins
02:44Moneyline.
02:45They are facing the Jets.
02:47The Bruins have actually won two of their last three games, and they're a little bit
02:51of a skit.
02:52Bruins are a little up and down.
02:53Bruins are not a team that I will say will win the Stanley Cup this year.
02:57However, I think they can win tonight.
02:59They have won two of their last three games and their last four at home.
03:02They are playing at home tonight, and they are 16-4 and 6 at home.
03:06The Jets have lost two of their last three games on the road.
03:10The Bruins have also won four of their last seven games as the underdog.
03:14They're a bit of an underdog here, so I'm taking the Bruins to win tonight on the road.
03:18There you go.
03:19If I was to give out a hockey bet, I'll take my team tonight, the Blackhawks, at plus 340
03:25against the Archies.
03:26As I was talking about, this actually isn't my official bet, but I'm just ranting here
03:30a little bit.
03:31The Blackhawks, somehow we decide to beat these really good teams.
03:35I mean, we've beaten the Avalanche twice this season.
03:38We went ahead and beat the Lightning the last time out.
03:41We're just really competitive against really good teams, but then we stink against the
03:45Sharks and the Blues and these horrible teams.
03:49I just don't understand the Blackhawks, so plus 340 against the Hurricanes tonight on
03:52the road.
03:53I wouldn't mind that for a small sprinkle there.
03:56I'm going to go to the big game, though.
03:58I'm going to go to the big game here, a player prop I like.
04:01I wrote about this already.
04:02Dallas Goddard, the tight end for Philadelphia, over 4.5 receptions and 50-plus receiving yards.
04:11I think in this game, the Eagles might have to throw it a little bit.
04:16Saquon Barkley is still going to get his, obviously, because he's extremely good.
04:21But the Chiefs know that he is their entire offense, virtually, and they're going to want
04:25to make Jalen Hurst throw this ball.
04:27Dallas Goddard is his security blanket, and Goddard in the playoffs has been unbelievable.
04:31The last nine playoff games he's been in, he's recorded at least four catches in every
04:35one of them.
04:37Every single one of them, he's had at least four catches, so we need him to have one more
04:39here with five at over 4.5 receptions.
04:44He's just been the blanket, the binky, I guess you would say, for Mr. Jalen Hurst.
04:49So I think he can have a big game here.
04:50He's already had a couple of good games in the playoffs.
04:52So give me Dallas Goddard over 4.5 receptions and 50-plus receiving yards against the Chiefs
04:59in the big game.
05:01Can't wait for that for the big game, which is coming up, not this Sunday, of course,
05:06but the next one.
05:07Yeah, forever.
05:08It will be in February by the time, well, it will be in two days, but it will, yeah,
05:13I looked at the date of the Super Bowl because it was like, oh, well, like I know when it
05:17is, but what's the date?
05:18It seems like an eternity from now.
05:20So we'll get there, though.
05:22We will get there.
05:23We will be there with all of you.
05:24We will get through this together and, you know, the bets that we have right now will
05:28help us get through it.
05:29So very excited about all of that.
05:30So get in on all of our bets and the odds boost plus 550 ad seizures and subscribe to
