Season to Date: 17-12 +10.7 units
Yesterday 2-1: +4 units
Atlanta +.5 (+109) 2 units. At first glance at the card one would definitly jump up and say Buffalo at home easy. Savard out for Atlanta until early January. Buffalo has lost only once in their last six and twice in their last 8. Atlanta has managed to pick up only 3 points in their last 5 games after a hot start. Buffalo has covered in 5 of their last 6 games and Atlanta has covered only once in their last 5. Both teams well rested as Buffalo has skated only once in the last 5 days and Atlanta once in the last 4. Why is the line so low then? Why is Buffalo only a slight favorite at home. That's the question I want to ask. When everything points one way and the line stinks I'm happy to go the other way. Atlanta has covered 5 of the last 6 against Buffalo which helps. I think Atlanta has had a few days off now, and really want to mentally show that they can win without Savard as a motivational factor. I also don't like teams that are coming off 3 days rest as Buffalo is. They tend to come out rusty. There is such thing as too much rest.
San Jose/ NJ OVER 5 (+130) 1 unit. Who the hell woke San Jose up on this road trip. Arguably one of the worst teams in hockey they have managed to score 10 goals in their 3 games on the road so far and just under 3 goals a game for their last 5 (2.80). New Jersey is scoring as well. They've got 11 goals in their last 3 close to 4 a game. Only once in the last 6 times these teams have played did they fail to score 5 goals. San Jose has been off for 2 days, and the Devils 3 days. Both goaltenders average right around 90% for the season which is average. If New Jersey takes this game seriously, then they should create enough shots to score 3 or 4 which should easily send this game over.
I have a gut lean to Nashville, but can't act on it. They are Vancouvers biatch so I'll pass, but I think they could win.
Good Luck to All
