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 on a few different factors:

Classic letdown spot: The Panthers set a franchise record for wins and pulled into the lead in the Atlantic Division, but their streak was ended in a 3-2 OT loss at Vancouver on Monday: "We've been on quite a run for some time now," assistant coach John Madden said. "We did some good things (Monday), but we didn't do enough to win."

Also a revenge spot: The Flames lost at Florida 4-3 on November 10th.

ATS statistics: Note that the Panthers are just 28-44 (-10 units) in their last 72 non-conference games, while Calgary is 4-2 (+2.8 units) this season after playing three or more consecutive home games.

The bottom line: Calgary is tough to beat at home, they catch a Panthers team off an emotional and draining loss and there's no question that we're getting extremely good line value here. Play on the FLAMES.
