college hockey money lines over under wagering

USCHO Edge hosts Jim Connelly, Dan Rubin, and Ed Trefzger look at money lines and over/under as well as providing further analysis of five weekend college hockey matchups. They find it tough to pick any compelling money lines among these five, and are especially reluctant when it comes to over/under.

This week’s games:

  • Michigan State (+150) at Boston College (-195); over/under 6
  • Massachusetts (+145) at Boston University (-190); o/u 6
  • Wisconsin (+220) at Minnesota (-298); o/u 6
  • Maine (+220) at Quinnipiac (-298); o/u 5.5
  • Minnesota State (+140) at North Dakota (-180); o/u 5.5
