## Resource

The College Hockey Experience (@TCEonSGPN) of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network give out their 2025 NCAA Hockey Tournament Bracket Picks and best bets for the Frozen Four. On the show Colby Dant (@TheColbyD), Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_), and Troy Chewing (@troychewning) provide their Frozen Four Picks and break down all the College Hockey tourney games. The duo previews the NCAA men’s hockey Frozen Four in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Center, discussing the 10–11 day layoff, fan travel expectations, and championship futures (Michigan +180, North Dakota +220, Denver +280, Wisconsin +550). They debate how the break affects momentum and totals, noting all four teams are top-eight nationally in scoring and that goaltending could be decisive. For the early semifinal, Wisconsin is +155 on the moneyline while North Dakota's puck line (+1.5 at +125) is the other beatable option. Denver on the moneyline is +110 and Michigan is -140. Dant and Bieniek finish with their National Championship picks. 00:00 Intro 01:08 Frozen Four Preview 03:46 How Does The Break Affect the Teams? 06:47 Futures Bets and Hockey East Fallout 11:34 Frozen Four Futures Market 14:12 Fanbase Travel and Impact on College Hockey 18:38 Wisconsin vs North Dakota Picks 19:57 Who Has The Goalie Edge? 23:01 Denver vs Michigan Picks 24:40 Denver Upset Case 25:48 Michigan Angle 29:35 Championship Matchup Predictions 31:53 Final Nuggets and Outro
