This is an 8* play on the San Jose Sharks.

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. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. 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 entirely on strong and relevant ATS statistics:

Note that Toronto is already just 3-8 (-3.2 units) this season in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent and only 2-8 (-4.9 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest.

And note that San Jose is 13-8 (+3.6 units) this year in all non-conference games.

Play on the SHARKS.
