This is an 8* PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Philadelphia Flyers.
While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't subscribe 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:
Desperation breeds motivation: The Flyers will be desperate as they look to avoid a four-game losing streak entering the break.
Complacent home side: With two weather delays and the All Star Break, the first place Capitals will end up playing just one game in 13 days before the action starts again on February 2nd. Suffice it to say, it's not too hard to imagine the home side coming in a bit complacent today.
Close but no cigar: Note that the Flyers have lost three straight one-goal games.
Goaltenders a wash: If you think that Washington has the advantage in net, think again. It's true that Flyers' goaltender Steve Mason has gone just 5-4-2 with a 3.34 GAA in his last 12 in this series, but Capitals netminder Braden Holtby has gone 3-4-3 with a 3.26 GAA in the last 11 vs. Philadelphia.
ATS statistics: Note that Philadelphia is 15-9 (+9.6 units) this season vs. teams with winning records, while Washington is just 10-11 (2.6 units) in its last 21 when playing with three or more days of rest.
The bottom line: We think there are enough situational factors working in favor of the FLYERS to pull the triggers not this PUCK-LINE wager.
