The wait is finally over, people. We’ve reached Thursday and it’s time for sports betting and my picks of the week. With the big leagues taking a breather, the best football players are spending time with their respective national teams this week and we’ve got some very interesting friendlies coming up.
Like Ying needs its Yang, I wanted to counter the green grass with some action on the ice, meaning I’ve got some NHL picks for you to take advantage of as well.
Also, don’t forget about the promos towards the end. One of them is connected to football while the other is a fun bet challenge from Stake.
Let’s go!
England vs Brazil
1) Football – International Friendlies
It’s once again time for the world’s greatest national teams to get together and work on their chemistry. The European teams have a very important summer waiting as the Euro 2024 kicks off in June, with Germany as the host.
This weekend, we’ll see a couple of giants face off in classic battles. I am mainly referring to England vs Brazil and France vs Germany. In my parlay below, I’ve also added a couple of other very interesting matches.
Let’s take a look:
Spain vs Colombia

⚽ My Pick – Spain ⚽

Italy vs Ecuador
Italy vs Ecuador
⚽ My Pick – Italy ⚽
Odds: 2.12
Odds and Payouts
I picked up these odds at Stake and for a parlay, the combined odds add up to 13.52x. That means if you want to drop a €20, you could end up with a nice €270 coming your way. With a heftier bet of €50, you could be looking at a fantastic weekend with €676!

2) NHL Hockey
With only 10-15 games left of the regular season, things are really heating up on the NHL ice. Trade deadline came and went with a few teams like the Hurricanes jumped on the opportunity to boost their chances by adding some new blood.
Picking up proven stars like Jake Guentzel from the Penguins and Evgeny Kuznetsov from the Capitals, we’ve already seen the effect on the team. This is why I believe they will take care of the surprisingly good Flyers.
My three other picks are also very much Stanley Cup contenders this year. McDavid’s Oilers, Elias Pettersson’s Canucks and no team will look past the Panthers after what they did last season.
Hurricanes vs Flyers
Carolina Hurricanes vs Philadelphia Flyers
🏒 My Pick – Hurricanes 🏒
Odds: 1.39
Oilers vs Sabres
Edmonton Oilers vs Buffalo Sabres
🏒 My Pick – Oilers 🏒
Odds: 1.42
Canucks vs Canadiens
Vancouver Canucks vs Montreal Canadiens
🏒 My Pick – Canucks 🏒
Odds: 1.32
Panthers vs Predators
Florida Panthers vs Nashville Predators
🏒 My Pick – Panthers 🏒
Odds: 1.52
Odds and Payouts
If you agree with these picks and want to use them for a parlay at Bc.Game, the combined odds are 3.96x. Not the highest odds as you can see but on the other hand I believe the chances of winning are very solid and who says no to a decent payout, am I right?
A €20 bet will pay €79 while €50 will get you a pretty nice €198
