CAROLINA +115 over Anaheim
OT included. The Ducks cannot be favored here. The reason they are is because they had an elite record last year and made a deep playoff run. That was then. This year, the Ducks are the lowest scoring team in the NHL with 29 goals in 17 games. Bruce Boudreau is one of those coaches that get very frustrated when things aren?t going well. He?ll constantly mix up his lines while moving guys in and out of the lineup.
It?s not unusual for Boudreau to sit regulars for an entire period or more in an attempt to send a message. It rarely works out. Instead, he ends up with frustrated players too, which ultimately was the reason he was run out of Washington. The Ducks have dropped three in a row to Arizona, Edmonton and the Islanders while giving up four goals in each game. Certainly, the Ducks are better than their record suggests and they will start winning more games at some point but as of right now, they are too frustrated a bunch and in poor form to be favored on the road.
The Hurricanes have six wins in 17 games. We cannot even begin to explain how misleading that really is. The ?Canes rarely get outplayed or outworked. The combination of not scoring enough goals and insisting to use that stiff Cam Ward in net has resulted in many undeserved defeats. Over their last four games, the ?Canes have allowed 21, 23, 19 and 21 shots on net respectively. Against Minnesota two games ago, the ?Canes outshot the Wild 39-21 and lost. Over their last five games, Carolina has taken a mere six minor penalties because they usually have the puck in the offensive end.
Cam Ward?s save % in his last five games was .842, .857, .870, .905 and .871 with Eddie Lack sitting on the bench. Carolina ranks #2 in Corsi for %. For those that think that means little, the teams that rank 1 through 6 in order are Los Angeles, Carolina, Washington, St. Louis, Nashville and Chicago. What those teams have in common is that they dominate games and win. Carolina also dominates games but they do not win because they have a #1 goaltender sitting on the bench every game. That changes here, as Lack gets the call. That doesn?t mean the ?Canes will win because you can?t expect a goalie to play once every two weeks and shine but Lack gives the ?Canes a much better chance of winning than that stiff they?ve been using. WAKE UP CAROLINA!
Houston +10? -105 over CINCINNATI
The Texans have been steamrolled over twice this year already, once by Miami in a game they trailed 37-0 before the fans got comfortable and once by Atlanta by a score of 48-21. The Texans? three victories this year have come against Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and Tennessee. This is a Texans? squad that is rarely seen on TV. The market doesn?t watch their games very much on Sunday?s and they are not a ?prime time? team much either. Turn your TV on and watch pre games on Sunday and nobody talks about the Houston Texans.
The Texans won themselves the Brian Hoyer Sweepstakes and are now the proud owners of a failed Browns QB who had a TD:INT ratio of 1:8 in his final four starts. Hoyer has been competing with pituitary disorder victim Ryan Mallett for the starting job. We?re actually looking forward to the day Houston trades for Jimmy Garoppolo and Matt Cassel so that all four failed Tom Brady backups can be housed under a single roof. You would think one of them would have gotten some Brady on him but no?.The point is that the Texans have no market appeal while the Bengals have plenty and so this one falls under the inflated point?s category.
Cincinnati remains one of two undefeated teams. They just defeated the Steelers and Brownies in its last two games, which are two of its biggest rivals. Next week, the Bengals travel to Arizona to play the Cardinals on Sunday night in prime time. This now becomes one of those troubled spots for the Bengals that we often discuss. This game is really just a warm up for that aforementioned trip to Arizona next week, where the Bengals unbeaten record gets tested.
Truth is, Brian Hoyer has been pretty good for the Texans this year. We also like that the Texans reside in the dreadful AFC South, meaning they are in a strong position to win that division, as they are just a game behind the Colts. Without breaking down the X?s and O?s here because it is rarely relevant anyway, we?re suggesting that it?s a tough spot for Cincinnati, as the Bengals are in a Pitt/Cleve-Arizona in prime time sandwich and they have often struggled to win big in November/December home games versus lesser competition. The Bengals may fail to bring their A-game here while the Texans figure to be a real pest and stay well within this range the entire game.
The Bengals are good, there is little doubting that. But they aren?t spot- and-cover double digits in consecutive games good. They?ll have had 11 days between starts as they hear about how great they are. That can be dangerous for teams not accustomed to such praise. Not to detract from Cincinnati?s accomplishments thus far, but they still haven?t faced a team sporting an above .500 record. Sure, they are beating up on the less talented and Houston certainly qualifies among that group but in the NFL, it is never this easy. Besides, the Texans arrive here rested as well after their week off.
Now that Brian Hoyer is secure in his job with an unemployed Ryan Mallett catching up on some sleep somewhere, the veteran QB can concentrate on trying to win this division. That?s right, win the division! Quietly, Hoyer has guided his team to the NFL?s sixth-best passing offence aided by the great skills of WR DeAndre Hopkins. Let?s not forget a year ago when Hoyer played here as a Cleveland Browns and upset these Bengals 24-3 as a seven-point underdog. TAKING: TEXANS +10?
Arizona Coyotes +175 vs New York Islanders
Carolina Hurricanes +105 vs Anaheim Ducks
Tampa Bay Lightning -110 vs Florida Panthers
Montreal Canadiens -165 vs Vancouver Canucks
