Is it smart to bet on the Maple Leafs to advance past the first round? These are the betting tips and trends you must know ahead of Game 6.

The Over is 9-1-1 in the Maple Leafs’ last 11 games as a road underdog. Find moreOur side and total predictions are based upon our analysis of the line and total in this game. Our best bet is our favourite pick across all markets.The Leafs needed a Jason Spezza Pacino-style speech to motivate them in Game 5, after coming out extremely flat and looking surprisingly unmotivated in the first period of a pivotal game.

Beating the Bolts two games in a row has not been done over the last three playoffs. Tampa has played 53 postseason games over the last three seasons and is an incredible 16-0 SU following a loss. I’ll admit I thought this was just a useless trend, but seeing Tampa coming off its two losses in this series , it’s safe to say that this veteran group, led by arguably the best coach in hockey in John Cooper, knows how to step up to the proverbial plate after taking a defeat.

The Leafs are 0-8 SU in their last eight series-clinching games and there’s a reason the fanbase doesn’t want to see a Game 7.
