Saturday's Nose picks

This is for you Infinii

DET/BOS
I thinK BOS has had this game circled for a while and it appears a good spot for them to jump on DET, who will be playing NYR tomarrow. If they want to have a chance they are going to need to put strong pressure on DET early. If given any space or time DET will dissect just about every other team in the league.
With that said I see BOS jumping out of the gate today. I'm looking for an up tempo game in the first period. Both teams can score.
My only play on this game is: DET/BOS 1st period total over 1.5 (+105).

Here's my next juicy one:

COL/PHI
These teams match up pretty close in home and away stats. Looks like PHI is stronger in second period play. I expect this one to start slower than the DET/BOS game as these teams have both recently suffered defeat at the hands of an inferior opponent. COL got down early to ATL and suffered though a whole game down to ATL. COL had just 7 shots in each of the 1st and 2nd period and only mustered 9 in the last frame.
They will not stay this relaxed today.
Philly had a stronger effort against BUF but never had a lead in thier game either.
I expect when either team gets down today they will pressure hard and open up to get back in it. My hunch is the lead may swap a few times in this one.
In the end I think the homies have the edge.

My plays for this game are:
PHI ml(-145)
COL/PHI over 4.5 (-1.35)
