Best bets for Tuesday, November 3, 2026

Published November 2, 2026

Tuesday's board is all hockey. All ten of our top picks come from six NHL games, with start times from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM ET. Bets on total goals lead the way: five of the ten picks are over or under 6.5 goals, and all five pay plus money, so a winning $100 bet profits more than $100. The expected profit figures below are long-run averages. They come from look-alike past games blended with the market price, so they aren't promises about any one night.

Ducks at Canucks, under 6.5 (+113, LowVig.ag)

Our top pick is under 6.5 goals in Anaheim at Vancouver, starting at 9:00 PM ET. The best price we found is +113 at LowVig.ag. The board puts expected profit at +$6.41 per $100, based on 3,688 look-alike games. Here's the idea: by paying plus money on the under, sportsbooks are saying the game is a bit more likely than not to reach seven goals. Past games like this one say a low-scoring game is more likely than that price suggests. If that history holds, the under is being undersold.

Blues at Rangers, over 6.5 (+115, Fanatics)

Second is the other side of a total: over 6.5 goals in St. Louis at the New York Rangers at 7:00 PM ET. Fanatics has the best price at +115, worth an expected +$4.38 per $100 across 3,688 look-alike games. This isn't a forecast of a wild, high-scoring game. The board just thinks +115 pays a little more than it should, given how often similar games have gone over.

Nashville +1.5 vs. Carolina (-144, FanDuel)

Third is Nashville +1.5 at home against Carolina at 8:00 PM ET, priced at -144 on FanDuel. That means you risk $144 to win $100. The bet wins if Nashville wins outright or loses by just one goal. It carries an expected +$4.33 per $100, based on 1,321 look-alike games. The market has Nashville as the underdog. In the board's view, -144 is a fair-to-cheap price for that one-goal cushion, given how often similar home underdogs have stayed close.

Nashville shows up twice more on the list. The Carolina-Nashville over 6.5 is fifth at +114 on DraftKings (+$3.30 expected), and Nashville to win outright is tenth at +162 on LowVig.ag (+$2.44), both from the same pool of look-alike games. Winnipeg at Montreal also has two picks, both at FanDuel and both from 2,736 look-alike games: Winnipeg to win at +155 (+$3.89) and Winnipeg +1.5 at -154 (+$2.90). Detroit at Tampa Bay has two on DraftKings: Detroit +1.5 at -102 (+$3.05, 1,379 games) and the over 6.5 at +110 (+$2.90, 3,688 games). Rounding out the list is the under 6.5 in Vegas at Pittsburgh at +105 on DraftKings (+$2.84). Keep in mind that picks from the same game tend to win or lose together. Nashville to win and Nashville +1.5 both depend on Nashville playing well, so stacking them doubles up on one outcome rather than giving you two separate chances.

The top 10 bets on our NHL board for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, ranked by expected profit per $100 after the sportsbook's cut. Each one is priced from how look-alike past games turned out (similar line, home or away, rest), at the best price we found across up to 11 sportsbooks.

Profit per $100 is the expected long-run average, not a promise: even the best edges lose often. Our full track record shows how the method has done over eight NFL seasons.
