Can you believe it is ten years since Magic announced he had HIV? Amazing.
I added one play late today.
Atlanta vs. NEW JERSEY under 6 -120 600/500 (Alladin's Gold)
As you can see this is a strong play for me. Basically as high as I will go at this time on an NHL play.
The WWF ran the Meadowlands last night so the ice will be choppy. Last night the Isles played the night after a WWF show and the level of play was palatably lower than normal because of the ice. Atlanta will have great trouble creating scoring chances because they are overmatched. In eight prior games against New Jersey (all over the last two years where they had similar caliber teams) they have been outscored 38-9. In a blowout scenario, there is little incentive for the home team to pour it on once the score reaches 4-1 or 5-0. I got this angle from Tiger, who has written before about the value of under bets in mismatch games.
At most books this line is -130 or greater. At -130, I suggest a slightly more modest bet because usually I cap totals plays at -120. Those of you who can find -120 should definitely take a strong look at making a solid play here.
