November’s Opening Act: One Night, Three Sports, Infinite Possibilities

Let’s get November started on the right foot!! For those new to BrownBagBets, welcome! Our bankroll management approach is simple but effective. You start with a bankroll you’re comfortable with, and we guide you on how much to wager on each pick. At the end of the month, we reset, take out our winnings, and either start fresh or roll with the initial amount. For our returning players, it’s time to reset back to a 100% bankroll and let’s aim to beat last month’s stellar performance.

As for tonight, we’ve got a diverse slate to kick off the month. We’re eyeing an NBA prop that’s too good to pass up, a midweek MAC showdown in college football, and a late-night NHL face-off between the Coyotes and Ducks. Let’s dive in and make November a month to remember!

Game #1: Milwaukee Bucks @ Toronto Raptors, 7 PM

Pick: Scottie Barnes over 30.5 Pts + Rebs + Assts

Wager: 6% Bankroll

The Raptors are shaping their future around Scottie Barnes, and it’s paying off. Averaging over 37 minutes a game, Barnes is a stat-sheet stuffer. As the Bucks hit the road, struggling to find their groove, the Raptors are looking to capitalize. A recent video clip of Raptors’ head coach Darko Rajakovic revealed plans to speed up the half-court set, promising more possessions and opportunities for Barnes. With three consecutive games surpassing this number, we’re confident that Barnes will deliver once again tonight.

Game #2: Kent State @ Akron, 7:30 PM, ESPNU

Pick: Under 38

Wager: 6% Bankroll

This MAC Wednesday night showdown features two teams that rank dismally in what is becoming our trusted Power Ratings via a pay service that we subscribe to so our loyal community members do not. Which in turn makes the under a compelling play. While the total has been on a downward trend, we still see value in going against the grain with this contrarian pick. The public is showing almost 90% play on the over right now as of this post. Akron’s defense holds a significant edge, and Kent State’s run-heavy offense isn’t likely to light up the scoreboard. Both teams are methodical in their approach, and the key will be avoiding turnovers that could gift these struggling offenses good field position. All signs point to a low-scoring, grind-it-out affair, making the under a solid bet.

Game #3: Arizona Coyotes @ Anaheim Ducks, 10:00 PM, ESPN+

Pick: Under 6.5

Wager: 6% Bankroll

Tonight’s NHL matchup between the Coyotes and Ducks is flashing all the signals we love for an under bet. We’re seeing a significant amount of professional money coming in on the under, outpacing the total number of individual wagers. This is coupled with two sharp moves also favoring the under, aligning perfectly with our BrownBagBets approach to NHL betting. To put the cherry on top, one of our most reliable subscription sites gives this under an “A” value, indicating it hits a whopping 73% of the time. All these factors make us confident that the under is the play to make.

As we kick off November, we’re setting our sights on a profitable month ahead. Tonight’s picks across the NBA, NCAAF, and NHL are carefully selected to maximize returns and keep the winning streak alive. Whether you’re a newcomer or a returning player, remember that smart bankroll management is the cornerstone of long-term success. Let’s make November a month to remember, just like we did in October. Happy betting, everyone!
