Sports Corner Daily’s Results Yesterday’s Recap

Check out a quick recap of our FREE plays from yesterday. ⤵️

Wednesday 10/15/2025:  -2.42 Units

NHL: Mackie Samoskevich Over 1.5 Shots On Goal - 1 Unit (-142) - Lost - -1.42 units

NHL: Tage Thompson Anytime Goal Scorer - 1 Unit (+130) - Lost - -1 units

We bet on Samoskevich’s shot volume ticking up, but Detroit smothered Florida’s secondary forwards and the Panthers finished with just 22 shots in a 4–1 loss. Two late empty-net goals for Detroit also cut off any chance at a frantic shot push from Florida. Samoskevich logged roughly fifteen minutes with a short look on the power play, yet he never registered a shot on goal—too many touches along the wall, not enough clean looks in the slot. With the Red Wings controlling pace and keeping entries to the outside, this over was never truly live.

This one stung because the game environment was everything we wanted—Buffalo won a track meet 8–4 with a four-goal second period, two power-play strikes, and even a short-handed tally. Thompson, though, played facilitator rather than finisher: two assists, no shots on goal, and several sequences where the puck funneled to linemates for the last touch. The Sabres spread the scoring around, with names like Jack Quinn, Jason Zucker, Ryan McLeod, and Alex Tuch handling most of the finishing. Thompson still saw ample time with the extra skater, but his shot selection skewed unselfish and the volume we needed never materialized. Right game script, wrong pick for the ticket.

Andrei Iosivas Over 1.5 Receptions

Analysis:

We’re playing the role and volume. Despite three drops last week, Zac Taylor said Iosivas keeps his No. 3 receiver job, and the usage backs it up: 184 routes this season (Tee Higgins 209, Ja’Marr Chase 217). With two tight ends out, Cincinnati leaned on 11 personnel on 88.7% of snaps and should again with Joe Flacco projected for 36–37 attempts… [Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

Against the Spread - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up 

Joe Flacco Over 235.5 Passing Yards

Analysis:

We’re fading yardage, not volume. In his Bengals debut, Flacco threw for 219 yards on 4.9 yards per attempt, a profile built on quick throws rather than explosives. Pittsburgh’s pass rush is surging with five-plus sacks in three straight games, the exact kind of heat that shortens drops, forces check-downs, and stalls drives… [Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...
