This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Anaheim Ducks.

While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

Ducks' goaltender John Gibson: Gibson has posted a league-best 1.68 GAA and four shutouts in 14 appearances this year.

Home ice advantage: the Ducks are 9-5-4 at the Honda Center this year, including 3-1-0 their last four.

Scheduling: this is a natural letdown spot for the Jets, who come in off a 4-1 win at San Jose just last night.

Strong and relevant ATS statistics: note that Winnipeg is a poor 2-6 (-3.4 units) when playing on back-to-back days this year, while Anaheim is interestingly, 4-0 (+4 units) when playing on a Sunday this season.

The bottom line: Anaheim is in desperation mode still after its slow start, this is a game it HAS to win and we do indeed expect it to step up and take advantage of this favorable situation; play on the DUCKS.
